Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 430 - 183: Flame Mark, Heart Extinguished, Light Perception, Wings [Three More, Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]

"They'll have it in their hands in three days..."

Wang Qi said this as he stroked his chin, his eyes glittering dangerously.

Zhen Chan warned, "Are you planning to stir up trouble again, young man? Listen, stick close to the walls, pull back to the bottom of the corridor, and wait six days for the excavation team to arrive, or wait three days until they leave."

Wang Qi stared at the ring, murmuring, "That is my Immortal Artifact..."

"What do you mean yours! It's from the ruins! And you don't even need it!"

Wang Qi pouted, "Isn't the main plot of this book to collect that set of Immortal Artifacts? Besides, it wouldn't matter who ends up with it, just not the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao—if only my 'Strong Luck' could smoothly handle this..." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Zhen Chan almost lost his mind, "Your Strong Luck is precisely why you were left here unsure if there are guardians or other deadly things in the temple! And he doesn't care about Ancient Method Immortal Artifacts at all! In his eyes, ensuring you stay alive is the top priority!"

The Immortal Alliance had already mastered the method to forge Immortal Artifacts—The Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror was an Immortal Artifact Level Magic Artifact. Moreover, as the levels advance, the cost of producing Immortal Artifacts would gradually decrease. Even if they obtained an Ancient Method Immortal Artifact, it would at most be used by a single cultivator. But if a genius could advance the development of the Modern Magic Theory system, then soon the Immortal Alliance would be able to create more and stronger Immortal Artifacts on their own.

Feng Luoyi was very clear about this calculation.

However, Wang Qi was less comprehensive in his thoughts. He absently jabbed at fragments of Soul Steel on the ground with his sword, saying, "I just don't want Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao to triumph, nor that priest who killed me once... Huh?" Wang Qi suddenly asked Zhen Chan in confusion, "Old man, these guardians, they seem to be hollow?"

"That's how they are. These things are Ancient Demon Clan armor, and from the elite."

Wang Qi asked, puzzled, "Only the Wolf Clan? I remember the Demon Clan always being a mix of races."

"But this terrain is most suited for the Wolf Clan to excel," Zhen Chan explained. Apparently, within the military system of the Demon Clan, 'species' didn't mean 'ethnicity' but was closer to 'troop type.'

Wang Qi suddenly had an idea, "If I wear this armor, could I move freely through that restriction? You saw how easily my Holy Light could refine it."

He saw the recently crushed guardian enter the restriction.

Zhen Chan pondered, "If you don this Soul Steel armor, it means you are a Spirit Awakening member of the Demon Clan Forbidden Guard. It's feasible, but how will you withstand those Golden Core Cultivators?"

A flash of sharpness flickered in Wang Qi's eyes, "Old man, you're really underestimating the power of this Soul Steel!"

Wang Qi took out a small box from his Storage Bag, releasing more than twenty dragonfly-like Mechanical Beasts. There was a total of six piles of such armor fragments in the corridor. Wang Qi had the Mechanical Beasts scan each fragment, create models in the calculator, and then used the strong computational power of the Seeking Dao Jade to select the appropriate fragments, arranging them according to his own figure into a suit of armor that could be worn by a human.

Wang Qi gathered the chosen fragments around him. Zhen Chan worriedly asked, "Are you sure you can handle something as dangerous as this? And can this really withstand attacks from Golden Core Stage powerhouses?"

Wang Qi laughed, "Of course. Just now, during my clash with a small fragment, I felt it..."

While speaking, Wang Qi raised his sword above his head, drawing a circle. The essential Holy Light Force on the sword left clear traces in his intense dedication. Immediately following, the Holy Light Aperture spilled down countless white flames. The armor fragments, upon receiving the power of the Life Flame, burst into powerful vitality, automatically leaping up and attaching to Wang Qi's body.

For the first time, Wang Qi felt the Holy Light waning. The recovery of Negative Entropy Force was always faster than its consumption, but this time, the armor's absorption strength actually exceeded the recovery power of the Holy Light!

"I can only hold on for ninety-nine seconds... I really am dedicated to cosplaying..."

After absorbing the Holy Light, the armor transformed its shape automatically like a living creature, making it more suitable for Wang Qi. It was then that Wang Qi managed to roar out the words he hadn't finished saying before, "This Soul Steel... this armor... is alive!"

The first to sense something was off was the middle-aged beauty at the Golden Core Stage. She suddenly felt a pang of palpitations and involuntarily glanced toward the corridor. Under her respectful gaze, a massive figure rushed out from the corridor.

What kind of monster was it! Like an ordinary guardian, it appeared as a full suit of armor, but the unique aspect was that this armor was in human form! Like other armors, this guardian's surface also shimmered with a magnificent golden sheen. Its features were filled with wolf characteristics, the helmet was a wolf's head, the limbs had hook claws, and the shoulders dragged two chains with a metal ring at the end.

"A guardian! And not a simple one!" the beauty assessed and immediately called out to her partners. However, two of them exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing "it," "Impossible!"

Zhai Difeng shouted, "Why would there be a humanoid guardian in the Ancient Demon Clan relics!"

Priest Li yelled, "This thing should have already been defeated by me!"

On closer inspection, indeed, the guardian's body was covered with numerous crimson cracks, as if it had been burnt and split!

"Has the Demon Soul within the Soul Steel gathered again due to obsession?" someone shouted, "Nothing to fear! We've already shattered this junk once, can't we shatter it a second time?"

This statement somewhat restored morale, as the Golden Core cultivators all released streams of light. With a crisp sound, that "guardian" was actually sent flying on the spot!

"Ah—roar!" The "guardian" let out a furious roar, and although the attack from the Golden Core cultivators flipped him over, it didn't damage the armor at all! Swinging his arm, the metal ring, moving with the momentum of wind and thunder, rushed towards a Golden Core cultivator. The suddenly extended metal chain left the cultivator with no time to dodge, and he was struck head-on. The terrifying weight of the Soul Steel made him feel like he was hard-catch a falling star from the sky!

After smashing one Golden Core cultivator, the "guardian" was still not satisfied. He swung the metal rings like meteor hammers, furiously smashing everything around him. Amid this violent attack, several Golden Core cultivators had no choice but to temporarily retreat! In that moment, a red-black mist that eroded the restrictions separated, engulfing the rampaging "guardian." Priest Li shouted loudly, "Demon Evil! Die!"

The armor immediately stopped moving. The chaotic World-Purifying Evil Power actually caused the Ancient Demon Soul within the armor to become extremely chaotic, preventing Wang Qi from controlling the armor any further. Moreover, this power, completely opposite to the Holy Light, caused the armor to increase the speed at which it seized the Holy Light!

What to do? A flicker of panic crossed Wang Qi's mind. But quickly, panic was suppressed. In Wang Qi's eyes, there was only excitement, calmness.

And madness.

In an instant, Wang Qi withdrew all the Holy Light, replacing it with the newly comprehended, degraded version of the Life Flame—Holy Flame. This power didn't help much with the spirit, but it truly embodied "life"! For a moment, although the armor lost control, the powerful Holy Flame temporarily brought it to life!

"Awooo—roar—" Accompanied by a thunderous wolf howl, the armor underwent a startling transformation. His forelimbs elongated, adapted for quadrupedal walking, and a tail emerged from his tailbone. His spine began sprouting barbs resembling broken wings, while his hands gradually transformed into a three-headed wolf shape! The armor, having gained life, began frenziedly devouring Spiritual Energy to strengthen itself!

Facing the reverse flow of the Soul Steel's strength, Wang Qi struggled to release the Heavenly Entropy Technique, guiding the invading Evil Entropy Force while simultaneously starting to accumulate and gather rays of light. To the Golden Core cultivators outside, the gaps in the protector's body continuously widened, looking like they might split open at any moment. Just as they showed eyes full of delight, the three wolf heads on the armor simultaneously touched the red flames, resembling flamethrowers continuously sweeping across. One cultivator couldn't avoid it in time and was struck squarely by the fierce flames. The Protective Gang Qi had no effect; the flames directly burned through him. The Golden Core cultivator screamed in agony, falling to the ground, rendered incapacitated.

The high temperature produced by the Heavenly Entropy Technique had no upper limit, as long as the user's Mana was sufficient, and the bearer's capacity could endure. At this moment, the Mana originated from the strength brewed by the Soul Steel over a million years, and the bearer was the armor itself, so Wang Qi naturally welcomed whatever high temperatures came.

The remaining five Golden Core watching Wang Qi had only horror in their eyes!

However, Wang Qi knew that he was merely unleashing a burst of energy and, after ninety-nine seconds of true manhood, he would definitely disarm. Seizing the chance while the others were stunned, he burst out with all his Holy Light, regaining control over the armor. The wolf heads on the armor's hands gradually transformed back into hook claws, and the spikes on his back began to change into wings.

Then, without further regard for other Ancient Method Practitioners, Wang Qi flew straight toward the relics.(To be continued.
