"No, it's too dangerous!" Shen Yi instantly refused, "You have no idea how many people the Golden God Seat has sent this ti to capture !"
"I think they're pretty weak," Zhang nglong said, considering that this world can't bear the strength of a Level One perfect life form. Those golden armored people are probably only capable of intervening at this Nine-story Tower's level limit. Zhang nglong didn't even use the power of the Super God Academy earlier; he just relied on his own strength to annihilate them quickly.
"Friend, you don't understand. Although they haven't reached the true state of perfection and can only be considered the lowest slaves of the Main World, their golden armor is crafted by our Golden God Seat's finest alchemist; it has a special ability."
"Really? I think it's quite ordinary," Zhang nglong said. Although the golden armored people emitted a golden glow that boosted their strength by a fold or two earlier, it still couldn't threaten him.
"You don't know the effects of that golden battle armor," Shen Yi said in a cautious tone, "If it were just common armor, it wouldn't be scary, but this armor isn't independent. They have a connection, and when the wearers are within a certain distance, their powers link together."
"How does the linking work?"
"Share life and share power!" Shen Yi explained, "One piece of golden armor almost shares half of a person's strength and all of their Life Force. If there are a thousand golden armored people, they can share the Life Force of 1000 people, boosting their power by five hundred tis!"
"So impressive?" Even Zhang nglong had to marvel at the creator of this armor. If they ford an army, they'd be unstoppable, and they could fight across levels. With shared Life Force, even a fatal wound spread across so many people might be nothing more than a scratch; it's basically a cheat!
"Although it has limitations, the wearers can only be less than perfect beings, but such beings are abundant in the Main World, and the production cost of that Golden Armor isn't too high for the Golden God Seat."
"Just asking, how many people have co this ti to capture you?" Zhang nglong rolled his eyes.
"Ten thousand!" Shen Yi said in a serious tone.
"That many?" Everyone around inhaled sharply. Ten thousand people sharing life and power ant the combat strength of this force would be increased by five thousand tis. Is this cheat going overboard?
And the strength capable of killing a person, spread over ten thousand people, at most would result in just a bit of nosebleed, right? What kind of fight is that?
"Moreover, everyone can use the Golden Armor to share consciousness and information. Now, details about are probably already transmitted, including yours," Shen Yi said, "Seeing your power, they'll definitely not co in small groups; they will all rush together. When the ti cos, it will be tough for us to handle, and they might even incite those Trialists to join!"
"Attention all Trialists, the approximate location of the traitor has been discovered. Please imdiately gather at the designated area!"
At this mont, the voice of the Nine-story Tower's Administrator echoed throughout the world, confirming Zhang nglong's prediction that they did indeed mobilize the strength of all Trialists!
Although those Trialists were weak compared to Zhang nglong, they were nurous, and their only wish was to survive, so he found it hard to strike against them.
"Brother Zhang, this ti it's not easy," Gray and others were already filled with fear and unease, not expecting the situation to beco so dangerous once they stood against the Nine-story Tower's task, even generating thoughts of retreat for the first ti.
Yes, Zhang nglong was indeed strong, but if those golden armored didn't have that distinctive Golden Armor, perhaps they could still fight, but now there's no way for even him to challenge such formidable enemies, right?
"So what do you plan to do?" Zhang nglong asked, "You still won't use the power of the Emperor Stone?"
Shen Yi shook his head, "I won't break my promise to Xia; I won't use the power of the Emperor Stone to kill."
"Are you an idiot?" Zhang nglong was speechless, "Is your life not worth more than so broken promise?"
Faced with Zhang nglong's soul-searching question, Shen Yi chose to remain silent, leaving Zhang nglong quite at a loss. This kid was sowhat stubborn, but if he didn't want to kill, Zhang nglong couldn't force him.
"We've arrived!" Shen Yi began to descend to the ground. In this endless desert, there was surprisingly a small oasis with plants, a lake, and even a cabin. Presumably for these two thousand years, they had been living a reclusive life here in this oasis.
"Xia, I'm back!" Shen Yi excitedly ran towards the cabin, but received no response.
Shen Yi's expression turned very serious imdiately because every ti he returned, Xia was always smiling to greet him.
Sure enough, in a flower field beside the cabin, a girl lay on the ground.
The girl's skin was very fair, and she had long hair, looking like a girl straight out of an ani. Besides the word "pure," Zhang nglong found himself unable to find any other adjectives to describe her.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhang nglong asked, sensing a powerful force roaming destructively inside the girl's body.
"Her condition has worsened again," Shen Yi said, "Our bodies underwent nurous modifications to adapt to the power of the gemstone aiming to neutralize its force. Once losing the gemstone, the other power within us begins to damage the body."
Shen Yi's hands began to emit purple energy as he started channeling it into Xia's body.
"My Emperor Stone's power can only suppress this force, but can't eliminate it, and it's becoming increasingly strong, from initially needing just one-millionth of my strength, to now even requiring over half."
Zhang nglong sensed as this energy was inputted, Xia's body gradually returned to a balanced state, but Shen Yi's energy clearly weakened noticeably.
Finally, he crushed six perfect creature cores in his hand. The crushed dust transford into a stream of light, rging into Xia's body, and monts later, the girl opened her eyes.
Seeing Shen Yi, her gaze was filled with surprise.
"Shen Yi, who are they..." Xia asked in confusion, looking at Zhang nglong and the others, marking the first ti in over two thousand years that Xia saw anyone other than Shen Yi.
"I ran into so trouble on the way back; these are friends I t on the road who helped fend off the Golden God Seat's people."
"Thank you!" Xia expressed her gratitude towards Zhang nglong and his group.
"It's nothing, just a little help," Zhang nglong replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Zhang nglong and Shen Yi exchanged a glance, then both simultaneously looked back in the direction they just returned from.
"They're coming!"
"Shen Yi, if I wipe them all out, won't the Golden God Seat feel hurt?"
