Chapter 1695: Cross-Boundary Demonic Thought

"Fellow Daoist Han, take out the demon armor." The crystal race woman turned her head and said solemnly to Han Li.

Han Li naturally had no objections, immediately flipping his palm to reveal a foot-long jade box, with two barrier talismans pasted on its surface.

He brushed his sleeve over the box, and the lid opened, a burst of black Qi surging out from within.

In the black Qi, a half-foot-large purple battle armor appeared.

This armor was not only ferocious in shape, but also had several sharp spikes on its shoulders and knees, with black patterns covering its surface, and demonic Qi soaring to the sky. But there was a striking large hole in the chest, with the edges shattered into pieces.

Seeing the black Qi rolling and emerging from the surface of the demon armor, Xian Xian's expression changed slightly. She waved her slender hand, and a crystal-clear light shield appeared on her body before she pointed remotely toward the box.

The purple battle armor seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, flying lightly toward the center of the magic array.

But before it could fly to the center, the crystal race woman raised one hand, and a pale silver magic technique flew out.

It flashed and vanished into the copper tripod without a trace.

Suddenly, a strange sound like a bell tolling rang out. The black-green flames on the surface of the copper cauldron swelled, instantly wrapping the black magic armor within and drawing it into the cauldron.

Following this, thunderous rumbling sounds came from within the tripod, and the exquisite patterns on its outer wall flashed with black light.

At the same time, the entire magic array below rolled with black Qi, and silver runes emerged everywhere. The moment they appeared, they surged toward the tripod, vanishing into it without a trace.

Afterwards, Xian Xian chanted incantations in a low voice, pinched a magic technique with one hand, and the ground near the magic array shook violently. Suddenly, yellow light flashed at the four corners, and a deep yellow stone platform emerged on each.

These platforms were only a zhang high, but each was unusually smooth, with a black small flag inserted on each.

And below the flags were filled with bottles and cans of various styles.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression moved slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.

Amidst the incantation sound, those flags grew from small to large, transforming into a size of five or six zhang.

Xian Xian stopped the magic technique and turned her head to say to Han Li:

"Fellow Daoist Han, let's begin. During the repair process, fellow Daoist only needs to listen to my instructions and inject magic power into those four demon flags in time."

"No problem," Han Li nodded without hesitation.

The crystal race woman smiled with satisfaction, raised her hand, and pointed at the magic disk hovering high in the air again.

Instantly, a long cry came from the magic disk, and countless magic techniques sprayed out from within, pouncing toward all parts of the space.

The roaring sound of the clouds in the air rose again, and pitch-black clouds surged down, while the four walls of the space were also filled with gray Qi.

Almost in a moment, the figures of Han Li and the woman were thoroughly submerged in the mist.

Only the rumbling sounds coming from the depths of the mist could be heard.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The shop door opened suddenly, and a figure walked out with a calm expression, casually summoning a beast carriage and leaving the street unhurriedly.

In the private space inside the shop, Xian Xian was standing at the edge of the magic array, staring at the copper tripod in front of her, lost in thought.

On the surface of this copper tripod, dense fine cracks had actually emerged at this moment.

And the magic array below was also in a mess. More than half had been thoroughly destroyed. And the black crystals embedded around it had also turned into piles of debris.

Above her head, the Qilin phantom had become only a foot tall, also pondering with flickering eyes.

"This demon armor probably has some history; the demon armor of an ordinary Heavenly Outer Demon would not have such an occurrence," the Qilin phantom said solemnly.

"Indeed. After the demon armor was repaired, it actually summoned the cross-boundary divine sense of other demonic objects, almost allowing it to condense a demon body and emerge with the help of the demonic Qi here," Xian Xian's face flashed with a look of lingering fear.

"But it's fortunate that this kid surnamed Han possesses the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, which dispersed the condensed demonic Qi in one strike, otherwise there would have been no small trouble," the Qilin said solemnly.

"But that demonic object was actually able to forcibly descend with its divine sense across boundaries, which shows that its cultivation base is probably not inferior to a True Spirit existence. Does this demon armor have some other name? But after it was repaired, I didn't find anything on it," Xian Xian frowned and said.

"The time was too short, and I didn't see anything for a moment. But if I had known this, this demon armor could not have been given to others. Actually, when this armor was repaired, you could have found an excuse to keep it. And then exchanged other treasures for him," the cyan Qilin suddenly said this.

"I would have liked to do so. But at that time, after that person dispersed the demonic Qi, he appeared calm, but I could sense that as long as I said the word 'no', I'm afraid this fellow Daoist Han would have immediately attacked me without any hesitation. His divine abilities are almost not inferior to those at the early Saint Stage, and the several life-saving treasures I refined were all used up in the Demon Gold Mountain Range, so I had absolutely no certainty of escaping with my life under his ruthless hand," the crystal race woman gave a bitter smile and replied.

"Pity, I was also severely depleted in the Demon Gold Mountain Range, otherwise, with the help of the space barriers here, it wouldn't have been impossible for the two of us to keep this object," the cyan Qilin also said somewhat depressed.

"Forget it. Even if this demon armor is magical and heaven-defying, it is after all a demonic artifact. Even if I kept it, I wouldn't be able to refine and drive it, and instead, I would offend such a great reinforcement that I had managed to befriend, which is not worth the loss," the crystal race woman's expression fluctuated for a good while before she took a deep breath and said.

"Hehe, you thinking this way is not wrong. Just let this kid have it cheaply. As for whether there is any other secret within, it depends on this kid's good fortune. It's just a pity that this demon armor might have been an opportunity for you," the Qilin phantom was silent for a moment before sighing and saying.

"With you here, will I ever lack opportunities?" Xian Xian seemed to have really thought it through, smiling lightly.

"That is true. What you lack now is not opportunities, but to improve your cultivation and divine abilities as quickly as possible. Otherwise, no matter how many opportunities you have, if you can't master them, it's all a waste of effort. Alright, let's not talk about this for now. The thing I asked you to check, did you find it?" The Qilin phantom suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Not yet, the whereabouts of that thing are said to be known only to a few Saint Stage old monsters, which is quite tricky," Xian Xian revealed a look of difficulty upon hearing this.

"Then you must spend more effort. Without that thing, even if I take you to that ancient ruin, you won't be able to break in at all," the cyan Qilin said faintly.

"I know this too. I will find another way to see if I can borrow or buy this thing from the disciples of these few old monsters," Xian Xian said slowly after pondering for a while.

Just as the crystal race woman and the Qilin phantom were discussing their grand plan, Han Li was on his way back to the cave dwelling.

In the beast carriage, he appeared to be sitting calmly, but in reality, his heart was churning with stormy waves.

He had never expected that just repairing the demon armor would almost lead to a major accident.

He suddenly moved one hand and reached into the sleeve on the other side, touching a cool object.

A cyan jade box was hidden in his sleeve. The repaired Heavenly Outer Demon Armor was placed within it.

But there were more than a dozen barrier talismans pasted on the surface of the jade box.

Han Li slid his fingers over the surface of the jade box, unable to help but recall the situation at that time.

The first half of the demon armor's repair process was unusually smooth, but in the second half, trouble began to appear one after another. Either the magic array stopped working for no reason, or the copper tripod showed cracks for no reason. Fortunately, with their combined efforts, these problems were all successfully solved.

But unexpectedly, just as the demon armor completed the final repair step and flew out of the tripod, a cold and powerful divine sense suddenly broke through the space barrier and descended into this small space, heading straight for the demon armor without a word.

Because it was too sudden, Xian Xian was clearly stunned for a moment.

But fortunately, this kind of cross-boundary divine sense was not the first time Han Li had seen it, so he immediately shot a streak of Evil-Warding Divine Thunder, dispersing half of the divine sense and bouncing it away.

According to common sense, if this divine sense owner didn't succeed, they should have immediately broken through the space and fled. But I don't know if the owner of the divine sense was determined to get this demon armor, or if they didn't put the two Void Refinement stage existences in their eyes at all. Instead of retreating, they advanced, diving into the pure demonic Qi in the magic array, and all the demonic Qi gathered in the middle, with a ferocious demonic object wanting to condense a demon body and emerge directly.

But how could Han Li let it have its way? In his shock, he simply released all the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder in his body, giving this demon a "thousand thunders bombardment."

Poor demonic object, although its main body had unfathomable divine abilities, and even a wisp of its split thought could not form a demon body, it could withstand more than a dozen Evil-Warding Divine Thunder attacks, but when hundreds or thousands of golden electric arcs rushed from Han Li's hands, the demonic object's divine sense, together with the condensed demon body, didn't even have time to scream before being turned into nothingness by the golden electric light.

However, in this way, both Han Li and Xian Xian naturally knew the extraordinary nature of this demon armor, which seemed far greater than expected.

Han Li naturally saw the hesitation of the crystal race woman at that moment, but his expression remained unchanged, while he secretly kept twelve points of spirit in his heart, watching to see if the woman would do anything treacherous.

As a result, although the woman Xian Xian was clearly very reluctant, she still allowed Han Li to successfully store the magic armor into the jade box, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

In this way, Han Li's favorable impression of this crystal race woman naturally increased by a few points, but he didn't stay there much longer, thanking her a few times before leaving the space and boarding the beast carriage.

Now, while stroking the jade box in his sleeve with his fingers, he was becoming more and more curious about this repaired demon armor.
