Free Web NovelChapter 2172: Chapter 2173: Golden Armor Battle Suit! Four Updates
The order keepers haven’t appeared; the result seems quite clear—only when a demon lord appears will they take action.
Of course, there’s another possibility; perhaps the previous clash between the order keepers and the demon lords left both sides gravely wounded, leading to their mutual absence.
No matter which scenario, everyone still has to face the demons’ assault.
Just that this time, the demon lord hasn’t arrived, but an abyss demon sovereign is stationed here.
"I believe the order keepers won’t stand by idly—someone will deal with the abyss demon sovereign," someone insisted.
Five abyss demon sovereigns hover in front of the ancient city, staring at the people on the city walls.
As the five abyss demon sovereigns charge forward simultaneously, the people on the walls panic; the order keepers have yet to appear—will they really not act?
At that moment, Taiyi, the Stone Demon Lord, the Pathfinder, and others rushed out.
This drew eyes wide open from the crowd.
Are they crazy?
How can Supreme Saints possibly contend with sovereign-level abyss demons? At the very least, it requires celestial-level mighty powers to counter them.
People showed varied expressions for the actions of the three prodigies—shock, confusion—all wondering how they dared to charge in boldly.
The three prodigies unleashed their strongest attacks, colliding with the abyss demon sovereigns.
"No way, they’re not dead!" someone exclaimed in surprise as they looked to the sky. Although the three prodigies were powerful, most believed they couldn’t oppose an abyss demon sovereign, yet surprisingly, they succeeded and weren’t obliterated, only knocked away without even shedding blood.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of collisions ensued and the three were again knocked away, prompting an exclamation: "Not good, the three Saint Heirs are top-tier, but are outnumbered—this..."
The three faced five abyss demon sovereigns, and their strength only reached the pinnacle of a sovereign demon’s level, not yet at the sovereign rank—by all appearances, victory seemed unlikely.
Yet, as the clashes ceased, it became clear the three were still alive, lively as ever.
Then, someone with keen vision observed a golden layer on the three, akin to wearing golden armor—though inside, only a corner protruded.
"I know! I know why the three dare to rush up—they... surprisingly..." someone said at the critical point, started stammering.
"What is it?" someone pressed urgently.
"They have golden armor, hence remain unscathed!"
"Golden armor? What golden armor?" someone asked, uninformed about the golden armor.
However, one unknown doesn’t mean others are clueless; immediately, one understood and exclaimed, "Ah, no wonder they act this way."
"What on earth is it? Where does the golden armor come from?" some still perplexed, queried.
Then someone explained to all: "Golden armor is a high-defense armor reportedly crafted by the City Lord using a sovereign demon’s skin, capable of resisting celestial-level attacks, an extremely valuable treasure—and it’s exclusive to the Galaxy Ancient City, requiring Military Merit Points to exchange, and once taken out of the Galaxy Ancient City, it must be returned; they didn’t expect the three exchanged for golden armor."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood—the golden armor indeed crafted by the ancient city’s City Lord from sovereign demon skin; no wonder its defensive power is so strong.
"With the golden armor, for now, we needn’t worry about abyss demon sovereigns’ threats; everyone, prepare for battle, those abyss demons are about to strike."
Young faces turned gravely serious—Taiyi, Stone Demon Lord redeemed golden armor, boosting strength, stirring envy among everyone—given this motivation, many were inspired to kill abyss demons, accrue Military Merit Points—in hopes of redeeming golden armor themselves, to possess strength to oppose sovereign demons.
However, many were unaware of the fact that to redeem golden armor, the three nearly spent all their Military Merit Points; although facing a sovereign demon seems reckless, golden armor merely provides defense—it doesn’t greatly enhance their strength.
Their attacks on abyss demon sovereigns barely have an effect.
But that’s enough for them—their strength has long reached the Supreme Saint’s peak, only a step away from the celestial stage; sovereign abyss demons can no longer satisfy them—they need mightier foes, for now having golden armor for protection allows them to strike boldly.
Fighting abyss demon sovereigns would give them unique martial insights.
The three are in pain and joy simultaneously—golden armor can block abyss demon forces, yet shock waves still cause chest discomfort.
Especially when they face five abyss demon sovereigns simultaneously, counterattacking is rare—they remain on the defensive constantly.
The trio battles fiercely with five sovereign demons in the sky.
On the ground, the abyss demon army begins to assault the ancient city again, martial artists engage in massacre anew.
Ye Qiu hides within the demon army, the vast demon force like a torrent, sweeping over the ancient city, inciting widespread carnage.
Abyss demons start to die in large numbers, similarly, human martial artists begin to suffer losses.
Ye Qiu conceals his aura completely, behaving as an ordinary abyss demon, approaching the city wall roots—this time, instead of personally collecting cores, he controls several abyss demons to fetch them for him.
This way, speed increases, he doesn’t exert any effort, not even bending over is necessary.
His demon form is at the sovereign level; thus, sovereign abyss demons fear him—therefore, whatever he commands them to do, they obey.
He refrains from acting personally, actually to avoid exposure—having secretly gathered most of the cores previously, he considers having other abyss demons collect for him.
Fortunately, his demon rank has risen significantly, making this task not difficult.
Meanwhile, three abyss demons refrain from attacking, serve as Ye Qiu’s tool for collecting cores, focusing on picking from the roots directly beneath the ancient city’s front wall.
As for Ye Qiu himself, he continues hiding amid the troop, feigning charge toward the ancient city, yet doesn’t advance a step.
Of course, his gaze rests more above—on Taiyi, Stone Demon Lord, Pathfinder battling the five abyss demon sovereigns, which somewhat surprises Ye Qiu—even relying on golden armor, it cannot be underestimated.
Ye Qiu worries they might acquire enough experience through engaging sovereign demons, deepening their martial insights, reaching a qualitative change—making them difficult to deal with indeed!
