Chapter 334: Chapter 182: Strength Fully Restored, 1 Person Fights 1 State
Lin Miaoyi and the others found it all rather incredible.
They came from extraordinary backgrounds, hailing from the Three Saints and Six Sects. They were prodigies who had grown up under the admiring gazes of countless people.
Ordinarily,
even experts of the Divine Palace Realm had to treat them with the utmost respect, not daring to cause offense.
And yet, now...
they were not only trapped by someone who had yet to become a Celestial Venerable, but were also being extorted!
’Where did this person get such audacity?!’
"ROAR!"
Just then,
Ao Guang recovered from the impact and let out a soaring dragon’s roar that shook the very heavens!
He roared, and his massive body rapidly shrank, transforming into an imposing, heroic man clad in Golden Armor, with sharp horns crowning his head!
As members of the Demon Race, they could already take on human form after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.
However,
they still instinctively preferred to act in their true forms.
"You think you can keep me trapped? The moment I break free, I’ll flay you alive and tear out your tendons!"
Ao Guang bellowed in fury.
Even trapped as he was, his imposing aura seemed undiminished.
As his voice rang out,
the Golden Armor he wore erupted with a blazing light. It seemed to form countless roaring dragon phantoms, causing the surrounding space to warp and twist.
’That’s the Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor, a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure! I can’t believe Ao Guang even brought this Battle Armor with him!’
’It’s a good thing this person intervened. If we had rashly confronted him, we likely would have suffered a great loss!’
’That’s right. While wearing the Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor, Ao Guang’s strength can instantly reach the Peak of the Divine Palace Realm. Not even a Venerable would be his match!’
The expressions on Lin Miaoyi and her companions shifted slightly, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
’No wonder Ao Guang was so fearless. So this was the trump card he was relying on.’
The Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor was a Supreme Treasure of the Dragon Race.
Only those with the purest Dragon Race bloodline could activate it.
It was second only to the Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor, which could only be worn by the patriarch of the Dragon Race.
Years ago,
the Dragon Race Patriarch, Ao Sheng, had worn the Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor and held his own against three Human Race Celestial Venerables!
He had even managed to grievously wound one of them, a testament to the armor’s power!
While Lin Miaoyi and her companions were lost in thought,
RUMBLE!
An earth-shattering tremor erupted from Ao Guang, accompanied by the roar of a thousand dragons.
The instant the sound rang out,
Ao Guang stomped his foot. His arm rose like a dragon, imbued with heaven-shattering power, and he suddenly punched toward the space that imprisoned them!
Empowered by the Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor,
he had already realized that the Heaven-Covering Hand Seal was merely a facade.
What truly held them captive was an invisible, intangible, yet omnipresent web of space-time!
’If I can just shatter this web of space-time, I’ll be able to break free.’
RUMBLE!
Accompanied by waves of dragon roars that echoed for thousands of miles,
Ao Guang’s blood boiled as he threw punch after punch. It was as if a thousand dragons were striking at once, unleashing a surging, ice-cold aura of Law!
The greatest sounds are silent; the greatest forms are shapeless.
The ferocious power kicked up terrifying ripples in space.
Then, with a sudden impact, the space before Ao Guang shattered!
In the face of such absolute power, even space-time itself shattered like glass.
’I broke through!’
A look of joy crossed Ao Guang’s face. He stomped his foot, shaking the void as he prepared to charge out of his prison.
But in the next moment,
BOOM—
A muffled bang echoed as another layer of the Space-Time Cage materialized before him.
Ao Guang’s expression instantly darkened, and he roared in fury:
"I refuse to believe you can keep creating these Space-Time Cages forever!"
He knew that even for a Venerable, there were limits to wielding the Power of the Great Dao.
It could not be invoked an infinite number of times!
Just as he was about to throw another punch,
a magnificent, chilling voice drifted out.
"That’s a fine suit of Battle Armor. I’ll be taking it."
The instant the voice faded,
a sword hum that sounded like a dragon’s roar rang out!
The next moment,
everyone saw it.
A resplendent sword materialized within the endless void.
The sword seemed to transform into an arrow, vanishing into the void. After a few flickers, it reappeared right before Ao Guang!
"There is no Weapon in this world that can pierce my Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor!"
Ao Guang roared like a dragon and thrust his fists forward, parting the air. A terrifying wave of vital energy surged forth, as if an ancient god were hammering the sky, creating a world-shaking boom.
Wherever the tyrannical edge of his fists passed, space itself collapsed and then violently exploded.
However,
the resplendent sword completely ignored the force of Ao Guang’s fists and sliced straight down!
ZING!
An ethereal and mysterious sword hum suddenly rang out.
The sword slashed directly at Ao Guang’s line of Destiny.
His Spirit wavered for a moment. The world before his eyes blurred, and his consciousness sank into a stupor.
He hastily activated the Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor to protect his Heart Spirit.
Rings of golden power suddenly spread out, seeming to form a tangible layer of Matter that shielded his line of Destiny.
But just then,
Ao Guang felt waves of excruciating pain wrack his body.
Only then did he discover that the resplendent sword was emitting countless fine threads.
These threads were, in fact, composed of minuscule swords. Like maggots boring into bone, they slipped through the seams of his Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor and pierced his flesh!
Then,
these innumerable swords began to frantically slice away at his flesh.
To his horror, he realized that his Thousand Dragons Battle Emperor Armor was being peeled away from him, bit by bit!
He was about to lose control of it.
He roared:
"Peng Jiu, help me!"
Nearby,
upon hearing this, the eyes of Peng Jiu, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the other demons glinted. They too unleashed the Venerable Spiritual Treasures they had brought with them, blasting them toward the resplendent sword that was attacking Ao Guang.
