Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 414 - 238: The Might of Celestial Spirit Armor—Killed with One Punch! (Part 2)

At this moment, the Platinum Armor Warrior clenched his hand, gripping the Dagger Treasure within his palm. Despite the Dagger Treasure’s frantic struggles, it couldn’t escape in the slightest.

Then, the Platinum Armor Warrior’s grip tightened forcefully.

Bang!

A sound of shattering echoed.

The Dagger Treasure unexpectedly shattered into several pieces, and when the Platinum Armor Warrior released his grip, the pieces slipped from his palm.

"How can this be possible?"

Seeing this scene, the black-clothed elder was utterly shocked, murmuring to himself.

One must know that this Dagger Treasure was one of the highest-grade treasures in his possession. Even if one strike failed, it shouldn’t cause such little damage, much less be crushed by a single hand.

Could this Platinum Armor be a Tier Three Upper Grade Armor-type Treasure?

"There’s almost no possibility that I am a match for this person; I must leave at once!"

Just with this move, the black-clothed elder realized the gap between himself and the opponent, and he turned to transform into an Escape Light, attempting to leave.

Although he had merely damaged a Tier Three Middle Grade Treasure, the opponent exhibited a treasure resembling a Tier Three Upper Grade Armor-type Treasure. Secretly, who knows how many powerful methods have not yet been shown.

If he continued to fight, he might be able to hold on for a while, leaving the opponent helpless against him, but the chance of defeating the opponent and seizing the Wood Thunder Pine was likewise slim, or even very low.

Moreover, considering the opponent had previously stated that if he lost, he would surely be slain; if he had lost the will to fight now, it would be the best time to leave.

"Trying to escape?"

Qi Chuan watched as the opponent attempted to leave, slightly shaking his head, "I said, if you don’t win, I will indeed slay you!"

"Ninefold Soul Torture Technique!"

Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul stirred, and an invisible wave of Divine Soul power shot out from his brow, instantly striking the black-clothed elder just as he tried to escape.

"Ah!! Divine Soul Secret Technique? Does this person also know Divine Soul Secret Techniques?"

The black-clothed elder held his head in his hands, his face twisted, unable to suppress a high-pitched scream, filled with boundless regret within his heart at this moment.

He didn’t expect Qi Chuan not only to possess a Tier Three Upper Grade Armor-type Treasure but also to have Divine Soul Secret Techniques!

As expected of someone originating from a Nascent Soul Major Sect, he is indeed extraordinary.

"Bright King Fist!"

While the black-clothed elder regretted inwardly, Qi Chuan, clad in his splendid platinum armor, unhesitatingly operated the Bright King Technique, mobilizing the Power of the Physical within him, concentrating it into his right fist. Even though it was covered by armor, golden light still emitted from the gaps between the plates on his right fist.

Finally, Qi Chuan launched his punch.

Boom!

A terrifying power erupted around the black-clothed elder, abruptly stopping his screams, reducing him to a pool of flesh and blood in an instant.

Qi Chuan is a Tier Three Early Stage Body Cultivator.

Solely relying on the power of a Tier Three Early Stage Body Cultivator to punch a typical Core Formation Middle Stage cultivator to death is not an easy task.

The Celestial Spirit Armor is merely a defense-type armor without enhancing physical divine techniques.

Fortunately, the black-clothed elder was not in a normal state at that moment, hence he could not withstand the might of that punch.

"Why not heed advice?"

Qi Chuan unleashed a Floating Technique, flying over to hover before the pool of flesh, sighing.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a Qiankun Bag flew out, and he gathered a mass of clear water to cleanse it before holding it in his hand.

The remaining blood and flesh, he incinerated with a handful of Pill Fire until nothing was left.

Subsequently, Qi Chuan didn’t linger either, carrying the Qiankun Bag, transformed into an Escape Light, shooting toward the distant horizon.

At this moment, the vast Thunderfall Canyon was still thundering with like rolling thunder, wind, and rain mixed together, yet no one witnessed this clean and decisive battle.

Having obtained the Wood Thunder Pine, Qi Chuan intended to return to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect to swiftly complete the cultivation of the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique.

As for the black-clothed elder’s Qiankun Bag, on the way, Qi Chuan opened it.

Even though the black-clothed elder was dead, the Qiankun Bag was still covered with a layer of Divine Soul Power.

However, with Qi Chuan’s current Core Formation Late Stage Divine Soul, it was naturally not a concern. Concentrating his Divine Soul Power, he lightly struck to dispel the residual Divine Soul Power of the black-clothed elder.

Though the black-clothed elder did not come from a Nascent Soul Major Sect, his Qiankun Bag contained quite a lot of resources.

Some peculiar and unsightly items were burned by Qi Chuan or discarded.

The remaining usable resources were kept.

Some materials could be used for alchemy, artifact refining, or talisman making.

Some materials, although not immediately useful, could still be exchanged for other resources.

The recent acquisition gave Qi Chuan some replenishment following the purchase of the Celestial Spirit Armor from the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, which had reduced his resources somewhat.

A month later, Qi Chuan returned to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

Upon returning, Qi Chuan immediately secluded himself in his Tier Three Middle Grade Cave Mansion to begin cultivating the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique.

Cultivating the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing True Technique required the Wood Thunder Pine as a medium and several other thunder attribute supplementary materials.

These supplementary materials had been prepared years before, so now with the Wood Thunder Pine obtained, he could start the cultivation immediately.

In a stone chamber within the Cave Mansion, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged on a Puduan, eyes closed, regulating his breathing and calming his mind.

Sometime later, Qi Chuan slowly opened his eyes, retrieving the Wood Thunder Pine and several other thunder attribute materials from the Qiankun Bag.

First, Qi Chuan opened his mouth to release a cluster of Pill Fire, which floated in the air, burning fiercely.

Then he successively placed each piece of thunder attribute material into the Pill Fire to refine them.

This process somewhat resembles alchemy but also differs in some respects.

After half a day, all the thunder attribute materials had been refined, with a colorful, silvery liquid emanating a powerful thunder attribute aura suspended within the Pill Fire.

Then Qi Chuan formed a spell, causing the colorful, silvery liquid in the Pill Fire to disperse, transforming into an ethereal, net-like shape.

This marked the time for the Wood Thunder Pine to play its role.

Qi Chuan used the Cave Mansion Token to activate the Cave Mansion’s array, causing the glow of the array to illuminate the stone chamber, with Array Patterns appearing in mid-air, running at full capacity.

Only then did Qi Chuan gesture, allowing the Wood Thunder Pine floating in the void to slowly drift before him.

And thus began the unlocking of Array Restrictions one by one.

As the restrictions were removed layer by layer, the previously immobile Wood Thunder Pine began to struggle.

By the time of the final layer, it was struggling vigorously.

However, the last restriction layer need not be unlocked. Having considered its usage when acquiring the Wood Thunder Pine in Thunderfall Canyon, this layer of restriction was special.

Thus, Qi Chuan directly tossed the Wood Thunder Pine into the Pill Fire suspended in the void.

Roar!

As soon as the Wood Thunder Pine entered the Pill Fire, the flames surged, engulfing the entire Wood Thunder Pine completely.

The final layer of restriction on the Wood Thunder Pine, however, dissolved upon encountering the fire, fully exposing the Wood Thunder Pine.

Once freed, the Wood Thunder Pine rejoiced, shivering slightly, trying to escape.

But at this moment, the ethereal net-like liquid, already prepared in the Pill Fire, enveloped the Wood Thunder Pine, trapping it within.

Outside, the flames roared, burning fiercely.

Inside, the ethereal, net-like liquid trapped it, the flames continuously forging the Wood Thunder Pine through the spaces of the web.

This made the Wood Thunder Pine seem as if facing its nemesis, struggling a little but unable to escape.

The only thing left for Qi Chuan to do was to continuously operate the First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core within his Dantian, increasing the mana supply, enhancing the power of the Pill Fire, incessantly tempering the Wood Thunder Pine.

Gradually, the Wood Thunder Pine began to calm down, eventually melting into a liquid.

Though this liquid shone with a splendid silver light, strands of golden thunder patterns flowed within, appearing incredibly peculiar.
