In a chest, there were ten long swords, ten suits of armor, ten orbs of liquid metal, as well as the King-level Mutated Star Spirit Beads placed upon the armor and swords!
There’s still a lot of space in it.
But there was nothing else placed here.
Everyone stood frozen in place, momentarily unable to recognize the origin of the armor.
Lu Yu frowned and said, “It’s not a star artifact, nor does it emit the light of a star soldier. What exactly is this armor made of?”
The demon-slaying elder picked up a long sword and said, “But I can feel that the aura from these ten swords is extremely powerful. I have a feeling that these weapons will be of great help to me.”
The demon-slaying elder gripped his longsword, his body trembling with surging soul energy and demonic aura.
Boom!
Behind the Demon-Slaying Elder, a faint human figure emerged. This figure looked exactly like the Demon-Slaying Elder and possessed the same aura.
This figure, holding a long sword like a shadow, stood in the void, gazing forward with a glint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.
“What’s going on here?” Everyone looked at the illusory figure, feeling as if it were an exact replica of the Demon-Slaying Elder. Even the aura was the same. Although it was clearly just an illusion, it gave them the eerie sensation that a living, flesh-and-blood body was standing right before them.
The old man, Elder Zhan Mo, himself didn’t understand either, because he couldn’t sense any energy being released from the longsword.
The demon-slaying elder hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.
Then the phantom also raised its arm, mirroring the motion of the Demon-Slaying Elder.
The old man, Zhan Mo, emitted a subtle tremor of energy, and the same aura appeared on the illusory figure as well, matching in both intensity and strength.
Splash!
When dozens of cyan Demon-Slaying Swords appeared within the Demon-Slaying Elder’s body, the illusory figure also manifested a Demon-Slaying Sword.
The Demon-Slaying Elder said, “I understand now. The weapon here can perfectly simulate a body at my same level through my aura, with identical willpower and everything else completely the same.”
“Ten weapons, isn’t that equivalent to ten clones?”
Everyone around could not help but feel curious about such a weapon.
They were equally astonished as well.
If all ten weapons could truly emulate the power of the Demon-Slaying Elder, then ten wielders, each matching the Elder’s movements and strength, would be like facing the Elder himself tenfold.
At the same time, launching an attack would equate to an elevenfold surge of force, which is truly terrifying.
The King of Swords said, “It’s not just that. I examined the Mutated Star Spirit Beads on this armor, and noticed that ten of them are identical to the one on the sword. When you simulated a body, I sensed a connection forming between one of the Mutated Star Spirit Beads on the armor and the sword, as if they were reaching out to each other through the void. In other words, this armor and the longsword were originally a set, and there must be other ways to use them together. Of course—”
The Sword King pointed again at the two mutated Star Spirit Pearls on the chest plate and helmet, saying, “If I’m not mistaken, these two mutated Star Spirit Pearls are the key. Have you noticed the patterns on the armor? These patterns appear merely decorative, yet they all ultimately connect to individual mutated Star Spirit Pearls. All the lines from these pearls converge at the chest plate. Moreover, the mutated Star Spirit Pearl on the chest plate is exactly the same as the one on the helmet, suggesting that they must be in some sort of connected state.”
While speaking, the Sword King pointed to a mutated Stellar Spirit Pearl embedded in his leg.
The mutated Star Soul Pearl lay amidst a swirl of spiral patterns.
The Sword King slowly rotated his finger along the spiral lines. Everyone could see that the lines ended at a mutated Stellar Soul Pearl, with the lines resembling some form of energy connection, linking the line to the mutated Stellar Soul Pearl on his chest.
There are a total of ten lines connecting the limbs and chest plate of the armor to the mutated Star Spirit Pearl on the chest.
“What kind of weapon is this exactly?” Still, no one knew.
The Demon-Slaying Elder looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, is everything inside this chest a gift for us?”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Yes. Senior, please take them. These were originally meant for you.”
The Demon-Slaying Elder looked at the people around him and burst into laughter. “Everyone, if no one objects, I’ll take this set of armor for myself. I’m sure you’re all curious to see what makes these weapons so special, aren’t you?”
The Reborn King said, “If you want to try, then go ahead. There are still twenty-four chests here; there’s enough for both of us to find good things without having to fight over them.”
King Ling said, “That’s right. If this chest contains weapons of such quality, the others must be equally impressive. If you’d like one, I’ll give you this one then!”
“Haha, then I won’t be polite!” The demon-slaying elder put on the armor.
The demon-slaying elder was not tall, and appeared somewhat frail.
This armor was originally too big for him to wear.
However, when the entire set of armor was put on, it automatically contracted to perfectly fit the body of the demon-slaying elder.
Meanwhile—
Vroom!
The ten mutated Star Spirit Beads on the old demon-slayer’s limbs and chest suddenly lit up.
This time, everyone could sense the faint fluctuations emitted by the ten变异星灵珠 (variated Star Spirit Beads) on the swords.
Ten swords transformed into ten beams of light, all merging into the armor.
At this moment, all ten mutated Star Spirit Beads embedded in the armor began to glow.
Ten spheres of light flowed along the lines, like water illuminating all the patterns on the armor, and finally converged into the mutated Star Spirit Pearl located at the chest.
The demon-slaying elder stood still with his eyes closed, sensing the energy on the armor, as if trying to understand it.
Not long after, the Demon-Slaying Elder opened his eyes and said, “I understand now! The creator of this armor was not human, but rather a humanoid race. They did not possess the Star-Calling Art or the Art of Weapon Refinement, yet they aspired to forge weapons comparable to stellar artifacts. Eventually, they created this set of armor through a unique method. The armor itself has no defensive capabilities but connects directly to the user’s body, making it invincible until the user’s life force is completely exhausted and they perish. As for the ten swords, they fully emulate the abilities of the hydra, capable of transforming into ten illusions identical to the original form. Each additional sword used multiplies the ability tenfold. When all ten swords are wielded together, the armor user’s power increases a hundredfold. However—this set of equipment, like stellar artifacts, is consumable. Those ten golden liquid orbs serve as the catalysts for this equipment, containing immense energy.”
The Sovereign of the Netherworld said, “You mean a hundredfold enhancement?”
“It’s an incredibly powerful armor to enhance a king’s strength a hundredfold.”
“Unexpectedly, there exists such a remarkably intelligent genius among the humanoid race as well.”
The Reincarnation King said, “Great equipment! I’m actually tempted.”
The Rebirth King spoke and then lifted the lid off a box.
Radiant light, like water, flooded the room completely.
Everyone also saw what was inside the box.
“What is this again?” Everyone saw the item inside the box once more, and it turned out to be a shield.
Nothing else, this box contains only a shield!
The box is three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter thick.
This shield is three meters long, two meters wide, and exactly one meter thick.
A box, just big enough to hold a shield.
“This is indeed a star artifact. To have forged a star artifact into a shield, and such a large one at that. Is this meant for the Giant Clan to use?”
“That’s not right. Even for the Giants, this shield seems a bit too small. And if it’s for a human, then this shield is way too big.”
The group was stumped once again.
What kind of weapon is this again?
Lu Yu reached out to grab the shield, its attributes worth tens of millions.
He actually couldn’t lift it.
At that time, when storing items into the storage space, it was done by directly enveloping the object with the storage space and taking it away.
Now that it’s time to move, I realize how incredibly heavy this box is.
Moreover, Lu Yu used the Devil’s Wrath, yet he had already exhausted all his strength just by raising the shield.
Lu Yu exhaled deeply and said, “Without the strength of a peak King-level cultivator, this shield cannot be used.”
The Sword King stood at the side, hesitating all the while, when suddenly his eyes lit up. He burst into laughter and said, “I remember now. This star artifact was actually obtained by the Snake People. Unexpected, truly unexpected! This shield is exactly what I’ve been searching for. Lu Yu, I’m taking this item. Consider it the reward for me helping you fight.”
The Sword King stepped forward and raised the shield with one hand.
Boom—boom—boom—
The heavy shield fell into the Sword King’s hands, causing his joints to crack and pop from the immense pressure. The full weight of the shield bore down on the Sword King’s feet, creating fine cracks in the ground beneath him.
Lu Yu said, “Senior, what kind of star artifact is this? I’ve never heard of a shield-type star artifact before.”
The King of Swords said, “This shield was reforged using a thousand fragments of star-forged weapons as auxiliary materials, and primarily crafted from the Golden Stone Ocean. Moreover, each of those thousand star-weapon fragments was itself made from the Golden Stone Ocean. That’s why this shield is so heavy. However, it’s just right for me. I always focus on offense, never defense. This shield not only can help me block attacks, but it’s also incredibly powerful when used for attacking.”
The Violent King suddenly shot a cold gleam from his tiger-like eyes and said, “I remember now. This is the Star King Shield, which once smashed a great city with tens of millions of people. It can even crush a king.”
“What kind of star artifact is this? Why have I never heard of it before!”
Except for Sword King and Violent King, everyone else present looked puzzled upon hearing the name “Star King Shield.”
“I’ve only heard about it too, never seen it myself. The king I killed back then was always searching for the Star King Shield, but he never found it. I did look into it a bit as well, but also came up empty-handed. All I know is that after the owner’s death, the shield just vanished.”
Lu Yu said, “It’s been obtained by the Snake Clan. Those snake people sure have good luck.”
The Supreme Yama laughed and said, “Alright, no matter what, this time we managed to obtain everything we wanted. That’s just our luck.”
“Next, let’s take a look at what other nice things are in the other boxes.”
With that set of equipment and the Star King Shield, everyone became even more eager to see what the other boxes contained.
This time, instead of opening the boxes one by one, all the boxes were opened together.
The radiant light from within the shop spilled outward, directly flowing into the street, submerging more than half of it in brilliance.
Many people couldn’t help but look in surprise toward the shop where Lu Yu and the others were located.
Only the top-tier, best equipment can create such a phenomenon.
Innumerable people greedily stared at the largest shop in Fanggang, wondering what wonderful treasures had appeared inside!
At this moment, in the shop, everyone was stunned by what was inside the box.
They recognized some of them, while others they could not identify.
But whether they are recognized or not.
The value and power of these equipments and props are top-grade, not even inferior to the Star King Shield and that set of armor.
These more than twenty boxes can equip a top-tier team of fifty people.
Each of their more than twenty boxes was like this. There were hundreds more such terrifying boxes in the Snake People’s Holy Land—what could be inside them?
If the Serpent People were to emerge from the Domain of Unity and don the equipment, what changes might occur?
All the best treasures accumulated in the Demon-Sealing Hall over countless millennia were taken by the serpent people.
And now, it’s benefiting Lu Yu and others.
Huowu selected a sword and a cloak.
The sword is no less impressive than the Starlight Sword. When combined with Huo Wu’s Huangquan Tremor, its power is enhanced by at least tenfold.
A cloak can be used for defense as well as for attack.
Xiao Xiao chose a ball of flame. The Sovereign of the Underworld recognized it as the Flame Master’s second most powerful weapon, aside from his personal weapon—it was a unique and unconventional armament.
…
Everyone had already chosen their own weapons and equipment.
They now need to become familiar with these weapons in preparation for the second wave of the apocalypse.
