Chapter 644: Divine Armor Will
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The golden waves brought about a world-splitting prowess. With a single attack, the space was distorted into the shape of a spinning drill, surging out toward Fang Xingjian. Its great prowess made it seem as if there really was an ancient god splitting the world open.
The power from this attack could send second tier Divine level experts like the Astral Ancestor and the Blue Sacred Moonlight flying several hundred kilometers away. The world-splitting will it contained even made it seem like one had personally witnessed the universe exploding and the world being reset. It was as if everything in the world was occurring within a great explosion.
However, when this attack was targeting Fang Xingjian, it was nothing significant.
Within a single move, Fang Xingjian changed from putting out his palm to reaching out his finger and then tapping out. Layers of shattering ripples flashed in space, and the gushing golden waves suddenly came to a stop. They then instantly went gushing back, striking fiercely on that golden-armored man.
The world-splitting prowess was sent gushing back with a single finger, and the golden-armored man let out a stifled grunt, retreating three steps back. The throne and altar under his feet had turned into dust.
He looked at Fang Xingjian with clear eyes, as if he had really just awakened from a deep slumber.
‘I… am finally awake…’ His eyes were gleaming, and he was exuding a strong and powerful aura. The golden-armored man was like Pangu 1 from the Western Land’s legends who had split the heavens and the earth, thereby creating the world.
This time around, his will turned toward Fang Xingjian, unlike the instinctive reaction from earlier.
The moment he saw Fang Xingjian, his eyes exuded a brilliant gleam. “Foolish mortal, you’re really courting your own death by daring to disturb my deep slumber.”
“Insignificant trash. How dare you talk to me like this? I’ll wipe out your consciousness completely, turning you once again back into an armor.”
Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, the golden-armored man’s eyes seemed to want to spew flames of fury. This golden-armored man was not a real human but a will that had been born from countless memories during the times when the Panwu Heavenly Raiment absorbed ether particles day and night.
After the heads of the six great clans discovered the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, they had also discovered the will that was within it. Then after fighting with the will, they escaped in a sorry plight, having been defeated by the Panwu Heavenly Raiment. Therefore, they then expended a tremendous amount of time to set up a formation, wanting to put together the forces of the six great clans to suppress the Panwu Heavenly Raiment.
On the other hand, after defeating the heads of the six great clans, in order to prevent itself from being disturbed once again, the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had distorted space and created an endless winding passageway, protecting itself from being discovered.
Additionally, the density of ether particles had increased once again during this period of time due to the world’s metamorphosis, causing its will to become increasingly more mature and humanlike.
The name ‘Panwu Heavenly Raiment’ had risen from the Western Land’s legend, where the force of Pangu could separate the heavens from the earth. Therefore, when the Panwu Heavenly Raiment gained a consciousness, it took on an appearance that was akin that of Pangu.
This Divine Armor was an ultimate Divine Armor which the Mountainous Sea Dynasty had devoted great effort and depleted countless resources to create in order to suppress the world.
Although the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s consciousness was still not strong enough and his martial will was insufficient to unleash the full prowess of the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, he was still comparable to a third tier Divine level expert.
If he were to stay in a deep slumber, ceaselessly absorbing memories, engulfing and spewing out ether particles, perfecting its consciousness and personality, and being able to truly unleash the prowess of the Panwu Heavenly Raiment… His battle prowess would then be able to match that of a fourth or fifth tier Divine level expert.
As they had not experienced the world’s metamorphosis, the Mountainous Sea Dynasty’s understanding of the Divine levels had only been through countless ancient books, so they stopped at the fourth tier of the Divine level. It showed how much effort the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had spent to get to this point.
Therefore, the Panwu Heavenly Raiment had all the right to be prideful. He knew that as long as he continued to sleep in the cavern, he would definitely astonish the entire world when he head out to the outside. As someone at the fourth or even fifth tier of the Divine level, even the Mage Association and the Church of Universal Truth would have to show him some due respect.
Right now, as an expert who had the power of a third tier Divine level expert, he could look down arrogantly on 99% of the experts. Even when facing the Empire’s royal family, he would also dare to meet them as equals.
As such, he did not care for Fang Xingjian, who was right before him now.
“Kid, you’ll pay the price for your arrogance.” The Panwu Heavenly Raiment looked at Fang Xingjian with a gaze that as if he was looking at a dead person. He slapped out with his palm, which then turned into a huge golden palm that seemed to be compressing space, pressing layers of stacking space ripples toward Fang Xingjian.
While Fang Xingjian was talking earlier, he had also made his move once again. This time around, he unleashed all 1,150 points of his martial will.
Taking a step, he appeared before the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, as if he had teleported. Then he slapped down his palm from the top, bringing about layers of stacking space ripples with an overwhelming force. The entire underground cavern instantly became blurry as all the light rays distorted into clumps. One’s sense of sight, hearing, touch, and smell all failed to work.
It was as if even the space itself had shattered into pieces under this attack, and the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s huge golden palm also instantly exploded like a piece of tofu colliding into a diamond.
Looking at this scene, the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s countenance finally changed. The fierceness and might of his opponent had far surpassed his imagination. Within a single move, the space was distorted, and almost all external senses had been robbed from him. He could neither see nor hear, as if he had returned to the eternal darkness before the universe was born.
Back when Fang Xingjian fought the Undying Xia before attaining the Divine level, he had achieved a similar effect before.
However, when the effect was produced once again this time, the fierceness of his power had far surpassed his previous attempt by multiple folds. The Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s will seemed to have been brought into many vortexes within the distorted space, and he was unable to sense any bit of information from the surroundings.
He could not even distinguish the directions of where up, down, front, back, left, and right were.
This was a new attack that Fang Xingjian had created after condensing the Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique, attaining the second tier of the Divine level, and experiencing a great surge in his power—the Chaotic Blitz.
‘What a fierce power!
‘Who on earth is this person? The might of his martial will and the degree at which he can condense it has far surpassed the third tier of the Divine level!’
The Panwu Heavenly Raiment finally recognized the difference between him and his opponent. His face was now filled with astonishment and terror. However, having lost all sense of the external environment, he was unable to even escape and could only be forced to accept the attack coming from Fang Xingjian’s palm.
A soft pffft sound rang out, and the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s body started to shatter bit by bit. The form of the man it had taken on shattered into many spots of light, which then once again turned into a pure gold armor. It was burning with purely golden flames while exuding waves of overwhelming power.
Fang Xingjian grabbed the Panwu Heavenly Raiment in his hand, and a man’s furious bellow rang out, “Who on earth are you? How dare you attack me?! However, although your power if fierce and unrivalled, it’s impossible for you to truly break through this armor.
“You’ll never know just how powerful the Panwu Heavenly Raiment is. While I’m in this armor, you’ll never be able to defeat me. When my martial will reaches a great level of mastery and I can then truly unleash the power of this armor, it’ll be the day of your death.”
