Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 536 - 535 Red Heavenly Armor
Zhou Bai added the star points and, after bidding farewell to Yan Shan, he left the hospital and headed towards his dormitory.
He was considering his final two-week cultivation plan, knowing that only two weeks were left, and he needed to plan well:
"With the assistance of the cultivation system, as long as I get the materials, I can refine the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor in just 2 to 3 days.
The remaining time can be used to sell junk, and the laziness value should be enough to accumulate 3 million, unlocking the last ninth star point, 'Greed Disaster.'"
Recalling the ability granted by the eighth star point, "Greedless - Soul Endowment", which enabled simple intelligence and the capability to covet the enhancement of magical treasure's power, Zhou Bai contemplated whether he should refine some other magical treasures besides the "Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor."
As he considered this and modified his upcoming cultivation plan, Zhou Bai arrived at his dorm only to find that Ying Hui had already been waiting there.
Upon seeing Zhou Bai, Ying Hui immediately approached and asked, "Did you exchange a large amount of materials at the supply management office? Are you planning to refine some magical treasure?"
Zhou Bai nodded, "Yes, I want to make a suit of armor." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Armor?" Ying Hui nodded. "Armor is indeed very important. A strong suit of armor can protect both the body and the Primordial Spirit, and it can greatly enhance destructive power. Among all the magical treasures, it is one of the most practical in terms of boosting combat ability."
"This time, during the Daluo Heaven symposium, hidden dragons and crouching tigers will be participating. Almost all human elites from around the world will attend, especially representatives sent by the Immortals, who will surely be fully armed. Some seed players might even each have their own armor."
"You indeed need a suit of armor. In fact, six months ago, I and the Supreme Elder were already considering this for you. We just didn't tell you because we planned to tell you after it was successful."
Zhou Bai looked at Ying Hui in surprise and asked, "Teacher, you didn't happen to have made a suit of armor for me, did you?"
Ying Hui shook his head, "Of course not. Armor isn't that easy to create, especially if you want to create an eighth or ninth realm armor. The materials needed are not something that can easily be gathered in Duanhua City right now, and only Heaven might currently have that kind of financial power."
"However, the Three Pure Dao Sect once made a ninth realm armor." Ying Hui said with a smile, "500 years ago, during the great battle of good and evil, when the Three Pure Dao Sect hadn't yet confirmed its status as one of the four major sects, they used all the sect's resources to create a ninth realm armor called 'Red Heavenly Armor.'"
"The Red Heavenly Armor was made from the bones of an ancient fierce beast, the 'Red Sky Lion', which is an ancient species. As soon as it was born, it scorched thousands of miles of red land and burned the sky clouds, consuming dragon species. It was extremely fierce."
"After our Three Pure Dao Sect obtained that skeleton, we re-grinded and refined it, using the technique of Blood Talisman Immortal Steel, and combined it with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were collected at that time. Including designing the armor, preparing materials, and reforming the internal Artifact Refining techniques, it took a total of nine years to fully craft."
Ying Hui proudly stated, "Once this Red Heavenly Armor is worn, not only does it possess the speed of flying swords, but it can also withstand any Ninth Realm Magical Treasure, and can deploy the unique Taoist skill 'Red Sky Golden Flame', commanding fires from all over the world."
Zhou Bai inquired, "Between the Red Heavenly Armor and the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, which is more powerful?"
Ying Hui answered, "Both being Ninth Realm armors, they should be similar. However, these two armors focus on different aspects. The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor focuses more on defense and enhancing the physical body, while the Red Heavenly Armor is more focused on Fire Manipulation Taoist Skills."
"Regrettably, since the distortion of Heavenly Dao, the Red Heavenly Armor became too dangerous and was sealed."
"Until six months ago, the Supreme Elder unsealed this armor and, along with other Supreme Elders, cut out the distorted parts and reforged it. A week ago, they finally succeeded."
What Ying Hui didn't mention was that, to reforge this Ninth Realm armor, three Supreme Elders had completely transformed and lost their lives.
"I heard that this time, Wanxian Island has brought out four top-tier armors, including a Kasaya of the Dragon Elephant made by the first generation Buddha Emperor of Leiyin Temple, re-reforged by an Immortal, all in their peak condition." Ying Hui sighed, "Zhou Bai, our Three Pure Dao Sect's resources are increasingly scarce, we can't present a top-tier armor like the Celestial Court. This competition in Daluo Heaven makes it impossible for you to start on an equal footing with them."
Zhou Bai shook his head, "No worries, teacher, I'll strip all their armors off and bring them back to our Dao School."
Ying Hui smiled, thinking Zhou Bai was joking, then said, "This Red Heavenly Armor was cut away from its twisted parts and reforged, and although its might has declined, it is still somewhat a Ninth Realm armor. For this session of preaching in Daluo Heaven, wear this Red Heavenly Armor."
Zhou Bai nodded, "Hmm."
Although this Red Heavenly Armor, reforged, did not retain the twisted power of the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor and might not be as formidable as that Dragon Elephant Kasaya, Zhou Bai still nodded solemnly, "Thank you, teachers."
Ying Hui smiled, "Ha ha, you're now our Three Pure Dao Sect, our Dao School's top genius, who else would we support?" He then felt a pang of distress, "It's just a pity that our power is limited."
Although Zhou Bai possessed the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, it was contraband, and he could only use it when disguising himself as someone like Gu Letian, not at all possible during this competition in Daluo Heaven.
The Red Heavenly Armor could be perfectly utilized in the upcoming Daluo Heaven's competition, greatly enhancing his strength.
Ying Hui then asked with concern, "Is there anything else you need our help with? The opponents in this Daluo Heaven's competition are extraordinary; you must be fully prepared."
Zhou Bai thought for a moment. Although he had the Red Heavenly Armor, he still planned to forge the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor.
The armor would not only further increase his strength but since the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor was an inner armor of the Primordial Spirit, it could be worn along with the Red Heavenly Armor without interference, rather enhancing his capabilities doubly.
Since he was going to forge it anyway, Zhou Bai decided to use it in the competition in Daluo Heaven, so he straightforwardly said, "Teacher, the armor I plan to forge is inspired by the primal archives. It's a sort of Primordial Spirit inner armor and doesn't conflict with the Red Heavenly Armor. So I still plan to forge this armor."
Ying Hui's gaze sharpened slightly, "Inspired by the primal archives? Do you have a blueprint?"
Zhou Bai, who was prepared, directly took out the blueprint he had drawn and handed it to Ying Hui.
Of course, this armor design had been modified, cutting out parts related to Zhou Bai's Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man and substituting the third-grade Greed Steel with Blood Talisman Immortal Steel.
Zhou Bai couldn't care less about the design falling into the hands of the Three Pure Dao Sect, as the armor was only suitable for him and others wouldn't be able to harness its full power, and might even suffer backlash.
Moreover, the armor was too difficult to refine, with very high requirements for materials and since he had modified and substituted some parts, it was unlikely others could make it.
If someone did manage to forge it from the blueprint… that would be good too, Zhou Bai planned to seize it to equip Tina or Elsa.
