I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 547: Chapter 227: Battle Array Technique, Tier 5 Battle Garment (2)

The defensive power of that wooden coffin was actually no weaker than a Tier Four Middle-Upper Grade defensive Witch Artifact. It was only reduced to ashes because it was at the center of the beast pill’s explosion.

And the material of the coffin was this ancient tree.

The crafting skill when making it wasn’t particularly exceptional, it was just directly carved from a piece of the trunk.

Even so, it had the defensive power of Tier Four Middle-Upper Grade.

If it could be woven into Tier Five fabric by the Weaver Girl and made into Tier Five battle armor, would it be possible?

If it proved feasible, it would provide defensive power even against the Holy Envoy Race’s Tier Five.

Shen Can continuously patted the old tree several times, then used his divine sense to penetrate its interior, sensing a chaotic light mass.

Inside the spiritual light, there was a pulsating aura of spirit, though in a relatively simple state, it could only facilitate some basic communication.

Clatter!

As soon as the old tree understood Shen Can’s intention, it began to shake violently, making a clattering sound for three hundred miles around.

Soon, a narrow slit opened in the surface layer of the bark, and a group of azure light threads, glimmering like a spider web, was extracted by Shen Can.

The Weaver Girl watched with wide eyes from behind.

One group after another, until ten groups were extracted, Shen Can turned and looked at the Weaver Girl for confirmation.

The Weaver Girl nodded vigorously.

"I meant fabric for a whole suit of armor,"

Shen Can said, sizing himself up.

The Weaver Girl looked Shen Can up and down, then shook her head.

Clatter!

At this moment, the shaking of the old tree grew louder, yet Shen Can continued to extract threads from it.

This ancient tree had profound roots, its body extending over a thousand miles, but only three hundred miles were revealed.

The threads being extracted would quickly regenerate under the nourishment of abundant source power.

Until Shen Can had extracted seventeen groups, the Weaver Girl finally nodded again.

"Enough, enough,"

the Weaver Girl said, reaching out to touch the azure light thread in front of her, crystal clear and incredibly elastic.

Far more resilient than the Tier Three Spirit Wood she used before.

With the extracted threads in hand, the two returned to the side hall.

"The fabric needs to have immense resilience,"

Shen Can started stating his requirements for the Weaver Girl, based on his war body form.

In the past, every time he transformed into his war body, his clothes would be reduced to tatters.

With a highly resilient battle armor, it would perfectly fit the body, large or small.

"The defensive power should reach Tier Five,"

he said, seeing the Weaver Girl’s slightly dazed expression. Shen Can understood that the concept of Tier Five was foreign to her.

Immediately, he added, "Make the defense as strong as possible."

The Weaver Girl nodded once more, focusing on the old tree threads. She reached out to pull one, but could not move it on her own.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, I need someone to help me sort the threads, otherwise I can’t weave them alone,"

"No problem, just let me know what you need,"

"To have strong defensive power, we need to weave as many Witch Rune Knots as possible in each area. My loom needs to be reforged to handle the tension of these materials,"

"The clan treasury still has a few Tier Four Spirit Woods for you to use for making the loom."

The Weaver Girl soon got busy with her task.

Shen Can personally cut the Tier Four Spirit Wood into various shapes, remaking a stronger loom and spinning wheel as per the Weaver Girl’s instructions.

To assist in the weaving, even the Clan Guardian Beast was enlisted.

"I, a dignified Clan Guardian Beast, am now being used to pull ropes. Am I perceived as mere cattle?"

The Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast, its horn glowing azure, held a bundle of threads, while facing it was the Four-Colored Deer. The two beasts were straightening the materials extracted from the old tree per the Weaver Girl’s guidance.

"Shut up,"

the Four-Colored Deer curtly silenced the Dragon Horn.

After ingesting part of the Holy Spirit Race’s flesh and blood, the Dragon Horn had successfully entered mid-stage Divine Treasure, though its aura was still somewhat unstable.

On the other hand, the Dragon Bear and Golden Sword were still slightly lacking.

Of course, these two were also engaged in arranging the threads.

With the help of Tier Four Battle Beasts, the Weaver Girl’s task was much simpler, her focus solely on Shen Can’s words: ’The stronger the defense, the better.’

This meant weaving the fabric as densely as possible, incorporating more Witch Rune Knots.

Shen Can didn’t stay, avoiding placing excess pressure on the Weaver Girl.

Having arranged everything, he returned to his residence.

"Four Symbols Combined Attack,"

he retrieved the jade scroll given to him by Yann Wanyun.

Long ago, he heard that the Yanran Division had a Combined Attack Technique, capable of resisting the Divine Treasure with Tier Three strength.

This secret technique focuses the power of four people into one during an attack, condensing their lifeforce into a single force.

Then the damage received during defense is divided into four.

Currently, the Blazing Flame Bo Division lacks Divine Treasures, but there are many martial artists with Celestial Vein Ninth Layer combat power, even some with Quasi-God Hidden Power.

"Combined attack to share the damage."

Shen Can directly pinpointed the core of this secret technique, saying it was quite crude and could only deal with the aged Divine Treasure ancients of the Xiaoyang Race of past years.

It needs further development to enhance its corresponding power.

[You begin to develop the Four Symbols Combined Attack Technique, very much acknowledging its core, yet you do not wish to adhere to the so-called Four Symbols, instead aiming to transition from Four Symbols to Five Elements.

Within just a year, you understand the basic operation of the so-called Four Symbols Combined Attack. This secret technique actually conceals the mysteries of a Witch Array.

You understand the composition of Witch Arrays very well.

You easily see that, when performing this secret technique, the martial artist themselves become a mobile array base, able to unite the power of four individuals.

Thus, you begin to try converting the Four Symbols foundation, using the Five Elements as a new framework to form a new Five Elements secret technique.]

...

[Through associative thinking, you take just over three hundred years to develop two methods of technique operation.

One is a technique that can attack and defend, based on the cycle of the Five Elements, gathering clan members who cultivate the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, forming a small Five Elements cycle base.

The other is an offensive technique, requiring martial artists with the same attributes as the base, focusing on singular offensive power.]

[With the constructs of the two techniques in mind, you begin more detailed development, constantly perfecting based on your understanding of Witch Arrays]

[Finally, after over three thousand years of development, you perfect the two secret techniques and name them the Five Elements Battle Array and the Desolate Beast Battle Array]

After completing the development of the secret techniques, Shen Can directly summoned Huo Shan, handing him the two secret techniques, instructing him to quickly gather some Celestial Vein clan members to practice.

Soon, more than two hundred clan members headed towards the residence of the Three Ancestors of Luo River.

Next, the Three Ancestors’ residence constantly echoed with booming sounds and angry curses.

Boom!

Inside the valley, the Three Ancestors of Luo River were blasted away by a massive Fire Ape punch, crashing onto the Spirit Ban of the Black Water Profound Light Curtain.

The Fire Ape was a hundred feet in size, its illusory body flickering with flames.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"If you want to kill, kill me, but from today I will no longer tolerate this humiliation!"

"Too bullying!"

Among the three ancestors, there are those who are angry, those who beg for mercy; never has there been such bullying since they were forcibly moved here, they are challenged one after another.

Celestial Vein Ninth Layer after another!

What have they, as dignified Divine Treasure ancestors, become!

This humiliation, they refuse to endure!

At this moment, the three ancestors look towards the distance with fear in their eyes, genuinely scared this time.

Cursing aside, previously there were just one or two challengers, at most with combat power at the Quasi-God Hidden level, which they could still handle.

Now it’s bad, damn it, losing martial ethics.

Twelve martial artists cultivating the same Fire Technique.

Although unclear why their positions are so strange, it leaves them with a sense of inexplicable fear.

Twelve Fire Technique ’Beastmen’, in action, instantly converge energy to form a more than thirty-foot-tall Fire Ape.

This fist, like a hill, hasn’t yet landed before making the three feel like they’re about to be evaporated dry by the heat.

This is entirely different from the previous sparring, now a single mistake might cost them their lives.

The Three Ancestors become angry again!

"Call it off."

At this moment, Huo Shan, watching the battle from the sidelines, gives an order, seeing that the Three Ancestors of Luo River really cannot withstand the Battle Array Technique.

If had it not been called off quickly, these three might end up half dead.

...

Side Hall of the Ancestral Temple.

Five Witch Weapons hover beside Shen Can, forming a cycle of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire, slowly rotating around him.

These five weapons come from the Holy Envoy Race, all are Tier Four High-Grade, conveniently completing the Five Element cycle.

This is another gift Shen Can prepares for the Holy Envoy Race.

Seeing the Holy Spirit Race Tier Five struck, they might very well think Blazing Flame can’t possibly have a second Beast Pill.

Beast Pills truly aren’t anymore, but there are five Tier Four High-Grade Five Elements Witch Artifacts.

Another month later, it’s already midnight.

The Weaver Girl brings a piece of cloth shining with azure light to Shen Can’s residence.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, the fabric is woven."
