Xingchen's voice was eerily calm. This time, he didn't use any technique names; he simply swung his sword. But this single strike contained the purest will to destroy!
The Purple Lightning Overlord gritted his teeth, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes: "Since that's how it is... then die!"
He suddenly abandoned all defenses and poured his divine power into the Purple Fiend Divine Spear.
"Thor descends!"
This single shot contained all his hatred. The spear moved like a dragon, carrying a resolute determination of no return!
"Rumble--"
As the energy turbulence subsided slightly, two figures were thrown backward from the center of the explosion.
Xingchen calmed down slightly, and her wounds healed rapidly.
The Purple Thunder Overlord was in a much worse state; his right arm and half of his shoulder had disappeared, and his aura was extremely weak.
"Thirty seconds left..."
The Purple Thunder Overlord struggled to maintain its flight posture, its divine body now less than 20% intact.
He looked up at the sky in despair, as if he could vaguely see the figures of reinforcements, but at this moment, the distance was like an insurmountable chasm!
Xingchen slowly raised his battle blade, the tip pointing towards the heart of the Purple Lightning Overlord: "The next strike will end you."
The Purple Lightning Overlord suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with madness and despair: "You thought... you had it all figured out?"
He suddenly ripped open his chest.
"Then... let's die together!"
The Purple Thunder Overlord's body suddenly swelled violently, like a balloon being inflated to its limit.
His skin cracked inch by inch, and blinding purple lightning shot out from the cracks.
"Let's die together!"
The Purple Thunder Overlord let out a final roar, his voice filled with madness!
Xingchen's pupils suddenly contracted!
His body was forced back!
At the critical moment, Xingchen fully activated the Myriad Star Realm.
Countless illusory stars rapidly collapsed, forming a ninety-nine-layered star crystal barrier in front of him.
At the same time, he took out the palace's most precious treasures and immediately hid inside!
"boom--!!!"
The Purple Lightning Overlord's body finally reached the critical point and exploded with a bang!
At this moment, space is compressed to the extreme!
Unleashing boundless power!
"Click, click, click——"
The star crystal barrier of the stars shattered layer by layer at an alarming rate.
The first thirty layers were instantly reduced to dust upon contact with the explosive impact, and the middle forty layers only lasted for less than 0.1 seconds.
As the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, a palace appeared in the void. With a soft sound, Xingchen's figure slowly walked out of the palace.
"cough."
Xingchen coughed lightly and looked down at the wounds on his body. Thanks to the double protection, he had hardly suffered any real damage.
In the distance, the energy turbulence generated by the self-destruction of the Purple Lightning Overlord was still raging.
Xingchen gazed at that area, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Indeed decisive."
The Purple Thunder Overlord's choice is easy to understand. When his divine body was less than 20% intact, continuing to fight would only lead to his death.
If they are completely dead, that's fine. But if they are not completely dead and fall into a deep sleep, once captured alive, they may face a fate even more tragic than death: enslavement.
In the primordial universe, while enslaving a cosmic overlord was rare, it wasn't unheard of. Especially for powerful beings like stars, rather than risking capture, self-destruction offered the possibility of resurrection.
"pity."
Xingchen reached out and a purple world ring flew out from the center of the explosion and landed in his palm.
"Your plan has failed."
With a sweep of his divine sense, Xingchen easily broke through the remaining spiritual imprint on the ring. When he saw the contents of the ring, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "So many treasures? It seems this guy reaped quite a harvest on the Primordial Star."
Of course, the things in this world ring are just small items; the real treasures are these two precious items!
A long spear and a suit of armor.
This armor can be assembled with the one he's wearing; that's what makes it truly precious.
In the distance, more than ten streaks of light finally arrived at the scene.
When the leader, Venerable Lei Xiao, saw Xingchen standing there unharmed, his face immediately turned ugly: "Too late! Is Zi Lei already dead?!"
Xingchen glanced at them coldly: "Here to collect the corpses?"
Lei Xiaozun and the others subconsciously took several steps back.
They could clearly feel how powerful the pressure emanating from Xingchen was.
"Crimson Flame Venerable!"
Lei Xiao Venerable shouted, barely managing to stay calm.
"You killed the cosmic overlord of my Northern Frontier Alliance! This matter will never end here! My alliance's cosmic lord..."
"Noisy."
Xingchen casually waved his hand, and a blade of light flashed past Lei Xiaozun, leaving a bloody mark on his face.
"If you want war, then let's fight! Stop with the nonsense!"
As Xingchen spoke, he recognized the Purple Radiance Armor as his master.
He then manipulated the Purple Radiance Armor to merge with his own battle armor!
"Om-"
The fragments of the Purple Radiance Armor floated before the stars, resonating strongly with the Golden Radiance Armor.
Simultaneously, secret patterns lit up on the surfaces of both suits of armor. These patterns intertwined and entwined like living things, emitting a crisp metallic clanging sound.
"Click, click, click——"
The mechanical screech of assembly echoed in the void. Fragments of the Purple Radiance Armor flowed like liquid, slowly merging into the Golden Radiance Armor.
The stars could clearly sense that each fragment was searching for its rightful place, like parts that had been separated for many years finally returning to their original form.
Chapter 158 Heavenly Tribulation Armor
"boom!"
Suddenly, a beam of purplish-gold energy shot into the sky! The armor began to automatically disassemble and reassemble, and countless nanoscale metal particles danced around the star. They spun like a galaxy, completely enveloping the star.
"This is……"
Xingchen stared in astonishment as his hands were covered in purplish-black metal. The visor extending from his armor completely obscured his face, leaving only a pair of eye crystals that shimmered with starlight.
He could feel that every inch of the armor was perfectly integrated with his divine body, as if it were a part of his own body.
"Crack!"
As the last shoulder armor piece snapped on, the entire suit of armor burst forth with a dazzling light.
The once golden armor has now turned into a deep purplish-black, with star-like light spots and lightning patterns flowing across its surface.
"Rumble--"
Xingchen clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him. The armor not only possessed astonishing defensive capabilities, but it could also amplify the strength of his divine body!
Now, every hit he lands receives an additional bonus from his armor.
"A top-tier treasure, that's right, it should have reached the category of a top-tier treasure."
Xingchen was deeply shocked.
"from now on……"
Xingchen stroked the interwoven patterns on the breastplate, her voice coming through the visor with a cold, metallic quality.
"You can call it the Heavenly Tribulation Armor."
Lei Xiao and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the mysterious battle armor on Xingchen's body, which was purple and black with flowing star and lightning patterns.
"That...that's Lord Zi Lei's Purple Radiance Armor, isn't it?"
A venerable one cried out, his voice trembling.
Everyone then realized that what Xingchen had been holding was a fragment of the Purple Radiance Armor left behind after the fall of the Purple Thunder Overlord.
And now, this armor has perfectly merged with the original Golden Armor of the Stars!
"Two supreme treasures fused together...this..."
Lei Xiao Venerable frowned and murmured softly.
"Could these two suits of armor have been originally one piece?"
This thought sent chills down the spines of all the venerable ones.
It's important to know that each piece in a disassembled set of treasures is at least a high-level treasure.
The value of a complete set is probably...
"A top-tier treasure?"
Xingchen slowly turned around, the Heavenly Tribulation Armor humming with his movement. His eyes, visible through the crystal beneath the visor, coldly swept over the crowd, their gaze seemingly capable of piercing their very souls.
"Now……"
The voice of the stars, transformed by the armor, carried a cold, mechanical quality.
"Your turn! Come on, let me experience the power of this Heavenly Tribulation Armor!"
