1026: Chapter 328: Xiang Luan’s Transformation (Part 2) 1026: Chapter 328: Xiang Luan’s Transformation (Part 2) The roar sounded again, and the emerald shield shattered instantly, but at least it significantly weakened the power of the advanced magic cannon.
Only the nearly two hundred closest to it disappeared amid the golden light, failing to deliver a devastating blow to both the destruction and the giant crab.
Princess Xiang Luan’s body had already floated away at the instant when the emerald shield broke, flying far out in front of the violent impact, a surge of intense energy fluctuations in the air.
Her plexion looked somewhat pale, her mouth spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This incredible scene made everyone on the battlefield who belonged to the Milan Empire and all who recognized Princess Xiang Luan freeze in shock.
No one had expected that, at such a time, Xiang Luan would actually shield the high-rank Abyss Beings from the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier’s assault.
It was then that another event simultaneously occurred, one even harder for the Milan Warriors to accept.
The purple-black spikes appeared again; this time, they were not protruding from the chests of Divine Beasts or Faran’s Holy Knights.
Their location was on the chest of Marshal Xi Duofu—a sharp spike, the thick black fog, that cold yet familiar view suddenly appeared above the battlefield.
Marshal Xi Duofu, who was manding the army in battle, the one in the best condition among the four city walls, suddenly stiffened, looking incredulously towards Xiang Luan in the sky then at the purple-black spike in his chest, his life rapidly ebbing away.
“No—” A mournful cry emerged from the amplification chamber of Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier.
That heart-wrenching wail, like a cuckoo weeping blood, shook the hearts of the Warriors.
Marshal Xi Duofu’s face showed a resolute expression.
As the first Marshal of the Milan Empire, the Spear of Milan, and also one of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans’ Elders, he would never allow himself to be outdone by a Holy Knight of Faran.
With firm hands, he clasped the purple-black spike protruding from his chest.
The next moment, a dazzling purple Douqi burst into light around him.
The same choice, equally tragic, brought an even greater shock to Ye Yinzhu.
Without any hesitation, Ye Yinzhu had already reached the side of Marshal Xi Duofu, but because he had been too far away from the marshal’s location and also distracted by Xiang Luan in the air, by the time he arrived next to Marshal Xi Duofu, the tragic and heroic explosion had already occurred.
In the last moment before Marshal Xi Duofu’s body burst, he turned towards Ye Yinzhu, his lips moving, seemingly trying to say something.
Boom—
The power of a Sixth Rank Zi rank Powerhouse exploding was extremely terrifying.
A muffled grunt came from within the dense black fog, and the Shadow Demon King, who had reappeared, obviously hadn’t gotten the better of it.
His purple-black spike was drawn from Marshal Xi Duofu’s body only at the last moment, unavoidably enduring the shock of Xi Duofu’s self-explosion.
“Bastard.” Uncontainable anger surged through Ye Yinzhu’s brain.
For him, Marshal Xi Duofu was not only a respectable elder and an Elder of the Eastern Dragon, but he was also Haiyang’s grandfather.
Though not a blood-grandfather, Ye Yinzhu knew just how important Xi Duofu was to Haiyang’s heart.
Before her marriage to Ye Yinzhu, Haiyang had always seen Marshal Xi Duofu as her one and only family.
The voice ing from the Zither Emperor’s amplification chamber was crystal clear to Ye Yinzhu.
He could hardly imagine how much pain Haiyang was enduring at that moment.
He swung the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither in his hand almost maniacally, its seven strings trembling violently.
The intense Explosive Reverberate made the air itself seem to shatter, but Marshal Xi Duofu’s own violent explosion widened the distance between Ye Yinzhu and the dark figure.
Just as the Yin Yang Slash’s blade edge was about to hit its target, the Shadow Demon King’s body disappeared again.
The destructive power of a Zi rank energy explosion was frightful indeed; not even a body was left of Marshal Xi Duofu, this once-famous mander who had devoted his life to the Milan Empire met such a fate, leaving no trace behind.
Ye Yinzhu’s eyes reddened, his immense Spirit Power bursting forth erratically, forming a circle of violent Soul Fluctuation spreading outward.
The golden Soul Bead appeared out of Ye Yinzhu’s forehead, floating above his head, and rings of golden light emanated from the Soul Bead, covering thousands of square meters in a blink of an eye.
Though the Shadow Demon King managed to strike and evade Ye Yinzhu’s attack, he sustained certain injuries from Marshal Xi Duofu’s explosive final moment, which slowed him down momentarily.
At that instant, the light emitted from Ye Yinzhu’s Soul Bead enveloped him, and under the effect of that faint golden light, despite the Shadow Demon King’s body remaining invisible, the soul’s impact instantly outlined his body in gold.
In a flash, Ye Yinzhu’s soul power had thoroughly locked onto him.
“Glacis, Ming,” Ye Yinzhu roared, chasing after him like a meteor pursuing the moon.
With the assistance of Shan and Lei, and speaking purely of speed, he was barely slower than the Shadow Demon King.
Relying on the Soul Bead’s forceful lock-on, he rapidly pursued in the direction of the Shadow Demon King.
Two massive light shadows rose from the fortress, and in mid-air, those two figures instantly transformed into pure energy forms, chasing after Ye Yinzhu’s body as if attracted by some immense force within him.
They managed to overtake and perfectly meld with Ye Yinzhu’s body.
This was the Armor of the Divine Beast, a special ability bestowed on the War Behemoth Glacis and Mountain Giant Ming after Master Phil Jackson had burned them with the Soul Fire.
The perfect azure Armor appeared almost instantly on Ye Yinzhu’s body, and the gold and silver Magic Pattern Wings gained an extra layer of bluish luminescence with their addition.
An inparable surge of vast energy shocked Ye Yinzhu’s body, drastically increasing his speed, which had been just slightly inferior to the Shadow Demon King’s.
In the air, he moved so fast that ordinary people couldn’t even capture his afterimage.
In a blink, he had caught up to the Shadow Demon King’s back.
Ye Yinzhu, who had long harbored intense hatred for his opponent, radiated golden light all over, unreservedly unleashing his Life Energy.
Perhaps it was due to the intensity of Ye Yinzhu’s relentless momentum, but seeing the immense golden light radiating from his body, the Shadow Demon King seemed somewhat panicked.
Continuing to stay invisible was now meaningless for him, for maintaining invisibility also consumed the Death Energy.
He suddenly halted, with black mist expanding instantly, attempting to engulf Ye Yinzhu’s body within it.
Ye Yinzhu snorted coldly, and the Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither in his hands chopped down through the air, releasing enormous energy.
A golden lightning-like Yin Yang Slash shot through the void.
This terrifying single-target attack imbued with Life Energy was the bane of Death Energy.
As the black mist closed in, it shattered in an instant, dissipated on both sides under the influence of his Life Energy.
The golden Soul Bead from Ye Yinzhu’s body had now returned to his forehead, but it didn’t go back to the Spirit of the Sea; instead, it formed a golden zither pattern floating right in the center of his brow.
At the same time, a black light orb quietly emerged in the recess on the chest of the azure Armor, bringing a peculiar sense of Soul Fluctuation to the armor in an instant.
The azure light swiftly converged, and the armor posed of three Divine Beasts, including the wings, underwent a qualitative change in a flash.
The original blue light converged and then burst forth again, but now it had turned silver, including the gold and silver Magic Pattern Wings, shining in bright silver throughout, with only the black Soul Bead on the chest retaining its original divine color.
This Armor, when pared to the previous blue one, didn’t have much visual change, but it felt as if the aura had pletely integrated, constantly releasing ferocious Soul Fluctuations that merged with Ye Yinzhu’s own Soul Breath.
The enormous energy fluctuation of that moment pletely dispersed the Shadow Demon King’s strengthened black mist.
What is a Divine Artifact?
This is a true Divine Artifact.
The so-called Divine Artifacts of the Ryuzakinus Continent were merely the pinnacle of weapons, and even Super Divine Artifacts were just weapons paired with Sub-God rank powerhouses.
However, the Armor on Ye Yinzhu now should belong to real deities.
Initially, even without displaying its full power, Ye Yinzhu had used this armor and his own Third Rank Sub-God strength to slay the Master of the Dark Tower, Slone, whose strength was at the Eighth Rank of Sub-God rank.
It’s evident how formidable the amplification effect of this Armor posed of three Divine Beasts was.
And now, Ye Yinzhu’s strength was no longer at the Third Rank of Sub-God rank but had reached the Sixth Rank.
Although this true Divine Artifact Armor couldn’t elevate him to the realm of gods, it instantly boosted him to the peak of Sub-God rank.
Fear began to rise in the heart of the Shadow Demon King.
Among the Four Great Demon Kings, he was the weakest in terms of strength.
Earlier, Ye Yinzhu had only seemed to be a bit of trouble because his strong spirit prevented successful surprise attacks.
But now, Ye Yinzhu, clad in the Armor of the Divine Beast, emanated terror, and he clearly realized that the human before him appeared to have surpassed his own strength, especially the soul pressure ing from the two Soul Beads that shone in harmony was enough to unsettle the Shadow Demon King.
He no longer wanted to continue the battle.
For beings at the level of Demon Kings, nothing was more important than preserving their own lives.
