“These carapace fragments were discarded in the junkyard, I wonder how long they’ve been here.” Luo Feng gazed at the black carapace fragments. “Yet they can summon me. It’s either due to the genetic traits of Earthlings or the influence of that unnamed secret manual.”
He carefully considered himself.
Only these two aspects were truly unique to him, something other humans who had arrived at the Mulong star region did not possess. Undoubtedly, he was the first Earthling to ever come here. Secondly, the secret techniques inscribed upon that mysterious metal plate were written in the language of the Flame God Clan, clearly belonging to a powerful race completely separate from humanity.
Different races naturally possessed different cultivation systems, armor systems, and so on. It was precisely because he had cultivated the unnamed secret manual that he could now utilize these fragments.
“All of this is speculation, something that must be verified in the future.” Luo Feng immediately summoned the Moyun Battle Garment from his body, forming a set of cyan battle armor. He expelled the black and silver carapace fragments he held and simultaneously absorbed them into his inner world.
…
After flying out from the junkyard, Luo Feng hovered in space, silently concentrating and sensing whether the summoning would occur again.
“Hmm, indeed, there is a summoning?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up as he turned his gaze to another direction, a smile forming. “My guess was correct. These carapace fragments were likely discarded here after some ancient interstellar war in the battlefield beyond this realm. Since the robots couldn’t detect anything special about them—scanning failed to identify them as any known precious metals—they were simply discarded into the junkyard. And with so many junkyards, these fragments might have been scattered across different ones.”
The summons from the front-left was very faint.
“Prince Luo Feng.”
Two white-robed figures greeted him respectfully as Luo Feng approached.
“We depart.” Luo Feng said.
“Where to? Shall we head to the docking point for interstellar travel, or continue searching the junkyards?” The two white-robed figures looked at Luo Feng. They feared wasting time the most—flying back for over ten days, then taking a spaceship for interstellar travel, followed by more flying—it would be far more efficient to gather everything at once from nearby junkyards.
This way, they would have it easier.
“Continue searching the junkyards.” Luo Feng said.
“Understood.” Both felt secretly pleased.
“Head in that direction.” Luo Feng pointed to a specific direction.
The two white-robed figures immediately unleashed their world power, carrying Luo Feng forward.
…
After flying for three or four days, they realized their joy had come too early. This ‘Prince Luo Feng’ was truly difficult to serve. He passed by one junkyard after another without ever entering. The two could only focus on traveling while diverting a small portion of their consciousness into the virtual universe network for relaxation.
They flew for a full twenty-one days before Luo Feng finally ordered them to stop.
Circling the floating junkyard in space, Luo Feng confirmed that the summons originated from this very location.
“You two wait here.” He instructed before entering the junkyard to search for treasures.
Shortly after.
Luo Feng obtained nine black carapace fragments and one silver carapace fragment. He also casually collected several kilometers in diameter of metal and alloy debris, just to maintain appearances. Otherwise, how could he possibly fill his world ring, which was ten thousand kilometers in length and width, with only black carapace fragments?
He then ordered the two white-robed figures to continue leading him in search of more carapace fragments.
…
Time passed. For these two white-robed figures, meeting Luo Feng was sheer misfortune. Luo Feng chose junkyards purely by instinct, often flying for over ten days before selecting one. Then they would take a spaceship for interstellar travel, randomly stopping at some point within the Mulong star region. After a brief exploration, he might lose interest and initiate another interstellar jump.
…
“You two wait here.” Luo Feng said, then flew directly into the floating junkyard ahead.
Inside the junkyard.
Luo Feng effortlessly followed the summons and quickly found eight fragments—seven black carapace fragments and one silver carapace fragment.
“Now I have accumulated a total of 118 black carapace fragments, six silver ones, and one shattered blade shard.” Luo Feng flipped his hand, instantly summoning all these items from his inner world. Before him floated a dense cluster of black carapace fragments, a few silver ones, and a single broken blade shard.
He observed these items.
He already understood the function of the black and silver carapace fragments. However, this broken blade shard also possessed the ability to summon him. It likely originated from the same place as the carapace fragments, yet Luo Feng had not yet discovered how to use it.
Dripping blood on it?
Touching it with his skin?
Using his mental power?
He had tried every known method of controlling weapons, but none worked. It seemed like a completely ordinary and worthless shard, not even particularly sharp. Its only peculiarity was its ability to produce that unique summons, which was why Luo Feng had collected it.
“Never mind it for now. I already have 118 black carapace fragments. Last time I was almost able to cover my entire body. With these additional seven black fragments, I should be able to fully cover myself.” Luo Feng willed the Moyun Battle Garment to retreat into his body.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Like a hail of arrows, the 118 black carapace fragments flew toward Luo Feng. Upon contact, each one rapidly transformed into black liquid and seeped into his skin, beginning to gather within his body. These mysterious black liquids seemed to effortlessly merge with his skin and muscles.
When the black liquids touched each other, they rapidly combined, strand by strand, accumulating more and more.
“Boom~~”
A sudden transformation occurred.
“What?” Luo Feng was startled and quickly sensed within his body.
As the black liquid accumulated to a certain point, a transformation occurred, simultaneously expelling the excess strands of black liquid from his body. This was purely an autonomous reaction of the black liquid itself. Two black carapace plates slowly emerged from Luo Feng’s chest before detaching.
Saturation!
The black liquid within Luo Feng’s body had reached saturation, unable to absorb any more.
“I knew it couldn’t expand endlessly. There must be a boundary. And now, it’s reached its peak.” Luo Feng focused intently, attuning himself to the subtle shifts within. The dark fluid, having attained its maximum capacity, detonated with a thunderous ‘boom’—a sound so resonant that Luo Feng could distinctly perceive it with his own ears.
The transformation ended.
“What is this?” Luo Feng looked at his bare chest, where a black mystical rune had appeared.
It was a complex character, yet Luo Feng recognized it immediately—it was written in the Flame God Clan’s script.
A simple word—Soldier (Bing)!
“Soldier (Bing)?” Luo Feng stared at the ‘Soldier’ mark on his chest. Then, the mark automatically receded and vanished. Though invisible to the eye, Luo Feng could sense the ‘Soldier’ mark lurking beneath his chest. All the black liquid energy had been fully absorbed into this mark. Previously, every time Luo Feng fused with black carapace fragments and forced the black liquid out of his body, it would automatically separate back into the individual carapace fragment shapes he originally found.
But now!
They had completely fused into the ‘Soldier’ mark.
“Soldier?” Luo Feng furrowed his brows. “Flame God Clan script? It seems indeed connected to that unnamed secret manual. This ‘Soldier’—could it be a lowly soldier from the Flame God Clan or some mysterious race?”
“This mysterious battle armor shall be called the Bing Armor.” Luo Feng mused inwardly.
With a thought, he activated the Bing Armor mark on his chest. Instantly, countless black threads spread out, rapidly covering his entire body. On his surface appeared a full set of menacing black battle armor, a helmet, and boots. A mighty power surged through Luo Feng’s entire body. These carapaces seemed to merge seamlessly with his muscles and skin.
This power felt like his own.
According to Luo Feng’s estimation, it was equivalent to the combined power of 80 to 90 peak Sovereign-level experts!
“Such unbearable pain.” Luo Feng, now fully clad in the mysterious Bing Armor, felt intense pain throughout his body. As the armor’s master, he now understood the basic information: “Once the Bing Armor mark is formed, it becomes the perfect Bing Armor. It can expand or shrink infinitely—large as the heavens or small as a speck of dust. However, it is entirely driven by the body, placing immense strain on it. My current Domain Lord 9th Stage strength is far too weak… I cannot fully unleash the power of this mysterious armor.”
The Bing Armor itself contained immense power.
Even Luo Feng’s Earthling body alone could unleash the power of 80 to 90 peak Sovereign-level warriors! Yet this was merely a fraction of the armor’s true potential. Luo Feng simply lacked the strength to fully awaken its might.
Moreover, the size of the Bing Armor was directly tied to Luo Feng’s physical form.
“I am weak.”
“But the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body is extremely powerful, and it has also cultivated the unnamed secret manual.” A spark of joy lit Luo Feng’s heart. He immediately expelled the Bing Armor from his body. Instantly, a black sphere flew out, faintly displaying the Flame God Clan character ‘Soldier (Bing)’ on its surface.
With a thought, the Bing Armor sphere vanished into his inner world.
…
Within his inner world.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, resembling a mountain range, was lying on the grassland when a Bing Armor sphere suddenly appeared.
“Wu~~” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast extended its right claw toward the Bing Armor sphere. Instantly, the sphere transformed into liquid and merged into its body. Since it was a complete Bing Armor sphere, a Flame God Clan character ‘Soldier (Bing)’ faintly emerged on its chest and abdominal scales before vanishing.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast stood up.
Letting out a high-pitched roar, it activated the Bing Armor mark.
“Chi chi chi~~” Countless black threads shot out from the mark on its chest and abdomen, wrapping every part of its body. Instantly, all the scales on the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body, including its horns and claws, were covered with a thin layer of black armor, turning the entire beast pitch black.
Even the golden mystical runes were completely covered.
“Roar~~”
The Golden-Horned Colossus trembled as torrents of primordial energy surged through its veins, unleashing a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. Not an ounce of strain weighed upon its titanic frame—only the intoxicating rush of unbound power. A revelation dawned within its ancient consciousness: the Frostforged Aegis had awakened in its full glory. Now, the behemoth’s might swelled to terrifying proportions, eclipsing even a thousandfold the strength of Supreme Sovereigns. Such was the true dominion of the Icebound Armament!
(Note: I’ve rendered “强者” as “Supreme Sovereigns” to convey both supreme power and regal authority in a fantasy context, while “Bing Armor” became “Frostforged Aegis/Icebound Armament” for thematic grandeur. The translation amplifies the mythical tone through visceral verbs like “trembled” and “surged,” while maintaining the original’s sense of exponential power escalation.)
