Chapter 113: Congratulations on Acquiring the Dark Divine Armor

“The Dark God Armor—this is exactly the Dark God Armor I’ve been searching for!” Upon seeing the Dark God Armor floating in midair, Wu Tian’s excitement surged, and he charged straight toward it.

Boom!

Before he could get close, an invisible force repelled him violently, sending him crashing to the ground like a cannonball.

“Young master!” Xiao Hui rushed over anxiously.

“Ouch! It hurts, it hurts…” Wu Tian clutched his waist, wincing in pain. “There’s a defensive barrier surrounding the Dark God Armor. Damn, I barely moved and already got knocked back like this. Good thing I didn’t use my true energy; otherwise, I’d be done for.”

At that moment, faint ripples shimmered around the floating Dark God Armor, clearly the barrier responsible for repelling Wu Tian.

Once the pain subsided, Wu Tian rose and examined the barrier closely. It appeared as nothing more than a thin, transparent glass-like layer, yet it radiated a soul-stirring energy that resonated deeply within him.

“This must be an extraordinarily advanced barrier. I can feel it trembling my very soul,” Wu Tian muttered as he studied it.

“Master, I think there’s something here,” Xiao Hui suddenly called out.

Wu Tian hurried over and found a demon core embedded in the wall. Scanning it with his system, he was instantly stunned upon seeing its attributes.

“Holy shit! A level-nine demon beast core, and not just any—this is the peak level-nine ‘Flood Dragon’ demon core! A Flood Dragon on the verge of becoming a divine beast! This core must be the key to the defensive barrier. Using a level-nine core as the linchpin explains the immense power of the barrier,” Wu Tian said in amazement, staring at the blue core embedded in the wall.

“Master, since this is the core of the barrier, can we just remove it to open the barrier?” Xiao Hui asked.

“I’ll give it a try.” Wu Tian nodded and reached out, but the core was firmly embedded, refusing to budge no matter how hard he pulled. Even when he applied his true energy forcefully to extract it, neither the core nor the surrounding wall could be damaged.

Suddenly, a white light flickered, and several lines of text appeared in midair.

“This array seals the ancient deadly weapon ‘Dark God Armor.’ No one must open this array under any circumstances. Opening it will unleash chaos across the Three Realms of Men, Gods, and Demons, bringing devastation to all living beings. Remember this warning well!”

“If you can see these words, you are the destined one. I bestow upon you the cultivation method ‘World-Saving Sacred Technique.’ May you use it wisely.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, player Wu Tian has obtained ‘World-Saving Sacred Technique.’”

Wu Tian was dumbfounded. Damn, he just acquired a cultivation method like that! He quickly checked the description.

World-Saving Sacred Technique (Heavenly Grade, Supreme): Exclusively for women, an ancient healing cultivation method with ten levels. Mastery to the highest level grants the power to resurrect the dead.

“I… holy shit! Heavenly Grade Supreme! This is incredible! I just happened to pick up a Heavenly Grade Supreme technique. Just one step away from godly level! This is tailor-made for Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui, come here—I’m going to pass something to you!” Wu Tian called out.

He pressed his index finger to Xiao Hui’s forehead, and the knowledge of the World-Saving Sacred Technique flooded into her mind.

When it was done, Xiao Hui looked at Wu Tian in disbelief. “Young master, this… this is a Heavenly Grade Supreme technique. It’s… it’s just too…”

“This technique is practically custom-made for you. With your talent and this technique, your future is limitless. From now on, your life is in your hands to protect,” Wu Tian smiled warmly.

“Master, I will work hard to cultivate the World-Saving Sacred Technique to its advanced stages as soon as possible,” Xiao Hui vowed firmly.

Wu Tian nodded and turned his attention back to the level-nine demon core. “The person who created this defense array must be extraordinary. They claim this Dark God Armor will cause chaos in the Three Realms… Is it really that exaggerated? But to be honest, obtaining the Dark God Armor won’t be easy.”

“So, what’s your plan, master?”

“Even if it causes chaos in the Three Realms, so be it—I must have the Dark God Armor!” Wu Tian’s eyes gleamed with resolve.

With that, he clenched his fist, channeling all his true energy into it, and struck the level-nine Flood Dragon demon core with a powerful punch.

Boom!

A tremendous sound echoed as the demon core emitted a force that completely blocked Wu Tian’s attack. His punch had no effect, but the stone wall trembled from the impact.

“One punch’s not enough, here comes the second! Xiao Hui, stand back!” Wu Tian refused to give up and launched another series of blows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He rained down dozens of punches, causing the wall housing the demon core to shake relentlessly. Yet the protective energy around the core showed no sign of weakening.

“Damn it! I don’t believe this. Black Dragon Saber, come forth!”

Wu Tian summoned his Black Dragon Saber. As it appeared, a resonant tremor sounded, and Wu Tian felt the saber stir with excitement, almost as if alive—it was so vivid he wondered if he was imagining it.

“That’s right, the Black Dragon Saber is excited. Seems it’s reacting to the Dark God Armor, part of the Black Dragon set. In that case, Black Dragon Saber, unleash your power and break this barrier!” Wu Tian gripped the saber tightly, matching its enthusiasm.

He swung the saber fiercely, chanting, “Black Dragon Saber Technique, Second Form: Bloodthirsty Frenzy! Explode for me!”

“Roar!”

The Black Dragon Saber emitted a dragon’s roar, and a dragon-shaped current of true energy surged toward the level-nine Flood Dragon demon core.

Boom!

The dragon-shaped true energy struck the demon core with tremendous force. Wu Tian was speechless. Normally, the second form would manifest as a blade of condensed true energy, but now it had transformed into a dragon, seemingly more destructive than a blade.

Creak!

The protective energy around the demon core cracked audibly.

“Good! Another slash!”

Boom!

Another strike, and the crack widened.

Boom… Boom…

Strike after strike, the fissure grew larger.

Suddenly, with a deafening crash, the protective energy shattered completely.

Crash! The barrier around the Dark God Armor broke like glass.

Exhausted to the point of collapse, Wu Tian panted heavily but staggered forward and grasped the Dark God Armor suspended in the air with a victorious grin.

“I got the Dark God Armor!” he shouted, gasping for breath.

“Congratulations, player Wu Tian has obtained ‘Dark God Armor,’ part of the Black Dragon set. Side quest progress: Black Dragon set completion 2/4.”

“Congratulations, player Wu Tian’s side quest progress for Black Dragon set increased by 1. The system will grant additional rewards!”
