Although there were piles of demigod-tier armor and robes, Dongbo Xueying screened through them extremely quickly, taking just three seconds to complete the process. A special piece of armor caught his attention.
It was a golden suit of armor, its surface devoid of any visible runes!
“Refine!”
In an instant, his extraordinary battle qi refined the armor. He stored his previous robe and donned the golden armor.
The golden armor seemed like flowing metal, gliding over Dongbo Xueying’s skin and instantly covering every part of his body. The flowing metal fused completely with his skin, even covering his pupils with a golden layer, transforming his eyes into golden orbs!
“The Demon God Association’s headquarters actually has a set of flowing gold armor! This is fantastic!” The green-armored guard was thrilled.
The Demon God Association, deeply rooted in the Xia Clan’s world for countless years, indeed had an extraordinary foundation to possess such a rare piece of armor.
“I didn’t expect the Demon God Association’s headquarters to have such a treasure. Maybe I have a chance to escape alive today.” Dongbo Xueying was also excited, filled with hope for survival.
…
Seconds ticked by.
The radiant barrier formed around his body was weakening under the relentless attacks of the Witch God Sword, which pierced through the green armor.
“This is the last one.” Dongbo Xueying’s heart tensed.
The protective ring he wore, along with the six protective treasures found in the Demon God Association’s vault, were nearly depleted.
Silently, the radiant barrier completely dissipated!
“Here it comes.”
Dongbo Xueying stared at the Witch God Sword as it was drawn back and struck again. The invisible force it generated weighed heavily on his body, drastically slowing his movements.
Holding the Starstone Firecloud Spear, though its effect was minimal, Dongbo Xueying struck again. Even if he could only disrupt the Witch God Sword slightly, it was better than nothing—it brought him just a bit closer to survival.
“I must, I must… hold on!” Dongbo Xueying’s golden eyes burned with an intense desire to live.
Boom!
The Witch God Sword, carrying god-level power, knocked aside the Starstone Firecloud Spear and pierced the green armor! The green armor, forged from divine war materials, reduced the sword’s power by half! Yet, even the remaining force… though greatly diminished, still reached the threshold of a god’s power! The purple thunder barrier had only withstood sixteen strikes before.
Could this peak demigod-tier flowing gold armor, a precious treasure from the Demon God Association’s vault, withstand it?
“Chi—” With great difficulty, the Witch God Sword pierced the flowing gold armor.
What was flowing gold armor? It was fluid, like water that flows even when cut by a blade. Being pierced didn’t matter as long as it wasn’t completely penetrated!
The flowing gold armor strained to expel the foreign object, and the Witch God Sword’s power rapidly diminished as it pierced through.
But the flowing gold armor was, after all, only a thin layer!
Chi!
The Witch God Sword completely penetrated the armor and stabbed into Dongbo Xueying’s body!
…
Far away in the sky above Yifeng City.
Yu Jingqiu, Puyang Bo, Yuan Qing, Yu Feng, Zhang Peng, and Xidong watched from a distance. Their strength was too weak to help.
“Junior Sister Yu, Junior Brother Xueying will be fine. His strength is extraordinary, and the Xia Clan must have given him protective treasures. The beast clan can’t possibly kill him,” Zhang Peng said, while Yu Feng and the others were quietly anxious. Ever since Dongbo Xueying’s feat of destroying five demon lairs and mastering a second-grade true intent became public, they all guessed the Xia Clan had provided him with protective treasures. Didn’t the beast clan know this?
Elder Olan, King Qingyan, and the mysterious purple-haired woman were working together.
They had even set up layers of arrays to fend off the entire Xia Clan’s extraordinary forces, all to kill Dongbo Xueying! Could the beast clan’s preparations be insufficient?
Everyone understood this, but no one dared to voice it.
“Senior Brother Xueying will be fine,” Yu Jingqiu said, looking up into the distance. “He’ll be fine. He hasn’t married me yet!”
“Sigh!” Puyang Bo gritted his teeth, staring into the distance, filled with hatred for his own lack of strength.
“Senior Brother Xueying,” Yuan Qing murmured, gazing afar, tears welling in his eyes.
…
Within the layers of arrays, spanning a 200-mile space.
The abyssal demon flames had been exhausted and dissipated.
“This Dongbo Xueying has managed to withstand the Witch God Sword for so long? Damn it, if he were in the real world, I’d have killed him already!” Elder Olan thought darkly. In the virtual world, the Witch God Sword’s control difficulty surged, allowing him to unleash only 60% of its power! Thus, from the start, Dongbo Xueying had been facing attacks with just 60% of the sword’s peak power.
After the green armor reduced it by half, only 30% of the Witch God Sword’s peak power remained! Even so, it still reached the threshold of a god’s power.
“The Xia Clan has gone mad, completely mad, sparing no cost.” Elder Olan glanced outside, seeing the ferocious Sikong Yang, whose body radiated dazzling flames like a sun, outshining the one in the sky. He was breaking the arrays head-on. “They even brought out the clan’s treasured ‘Nine Dragon Fire God Armor.’”
“Great Elder, the Xia Clan is breaking the arrays much faster than before. Three of the twelve arrays have already been destroyed,” the Spider Empress growled urgently. “Haven’t you killed Dongbo Xueying yet? If all twelve arrays are broken, we’ll have to flee.”
“He’s just a saint-level extraordinary relying on external items. I refuse to believe he can hold out much longer!” Elder Olan said, but then his face lit up with joy.
His consciousness, linked to the Witch God Sword, could clearly sense it.
The Witch God Sword struck.
It pierced through the obstacles, its power diminishing, but finally stabbed into flesh.
“Success!” Elder Olan’s face lit up with happy.
“It worked?” King Qingyan, the Spider Empress, and the black-clad woman all looked over.
“The Witch God Sword pierced Dongbo Xueying’s body,” Elder Olan said excitedly. “Once it hits, he’s as good as dead!”
…
In the virtual world.
In this virtual world, Dongbo Xueying had only one enemy: the Witch God Sword!
The Witch God Sword was too fast. Though it seemed to take time, it was instantaneous! Swoosh—it pierced through the green-armored guard and the flowing gold armor. Though it struck his body, Dongbo Xueying let out a sigh of relief: “Good. Its power is spent. The remaining force can’t destroy my body.”
In the virtual world, the Witch God Sword had only 60% of its power.
The green armor reduced it by half.
The flowing gold armor blocked nearly all of it, just shy of complete resistance.
“Swish.” As it pierced, the Witch God Sword swiftly withdrew like lightning.
“This…” Dongbo Xueying, who had just relaxed, suddenly paled.
On his pierced thigh, a mysterious toxin instantly spread through his entire body, even seeping into his dantian qi sea—an intangible entity that couldn’t be destroyed even if the body was shattered. Yet this mysterious toxin easily infiltrated it. The extraordinary battle qi in his dantian surged, instinctively resisting, but it was useless! The toxin continued to erode and penetrate.
This wasn’t the worst part.
The most fatal aspect was that the mysterious toxin frantically invaded every muscle, bone, cell, and even the fundamental particles of his body.
Buzz—
Dongbo Xueying’s head was instantly affected, his eyes and brain destroyed in a moment.
“Aaahhh!” An unprecedented pain made his soul tremble. At his level, even a destroyed head wouldn’t affect his soul, but the pain from this mysterious toxin was too horrific. Dongbo Xueying nearly lost consciousness from the agony. “I must stay conscious, I must hold on.”
If he lost consciousness, the flowing gold armor, without the infusion of extraordinary battle qi, would lose its miraculous power. More critically, losing consciousness would force him out of the virtual world into the real one.
“I must stay conscious!!!” Dongbo Xueying roared inwardly.
His soul roared and bellowed, fighting to hold on.
The mysterious toxin invaded the particle level. Dongbo Xueying tried to expel it, but he couldn’t. He could sense it but was powerless to resist. It permeated every part of his body, sparing only his soul, yet the pain was unbearable, even for his iron will. Still, he fought to maintain a shred of clarity.
“It’s destroying my body.”
As the mysterious toxin infiltrated every particle, it began to damage them. Dongbo Xueying immediately used his life force to restore the particles…
“I must hold on!”
“This mysterious toxin is terrifying, but its destruction of particles is much slower.”
A strong attack could shatter the body’s particles entirely in one blow!
Ten such strikes would overwhelm even an immortal body’s life force.
But this mysterious toxin infiltrated gradually, destroying as it spread, at a much slower pace than outright annihilation.
“Stay conscious, stay conscious. With my immortal body’s recovery speed, I can match its destruction rate,” Dongbo Xueying gritted his teeth. An immortal body could restore life force, and only repeated, rapid destruction of the entire body could deplete it quickly. This toxin’s gradual damage was something his immortal body could withstand.
“As long as I stay conscious, I can survive until the Xia Clan arrives.”
“Stay conscious!”
In unbearable pain, Dongbo Xueying’s soul roared and bellowed, fighting to hold on.
He didn’t yet know…
How truly terrifying this mysterious toxin was!
