Chapter 247: Divine Warrior Armor!

——"When shall I shed my shoes and depart from this world? Within the flask, another sun and moon reign."

Infinite streams of light interwove instantly, forming the center of this flask-world with stars collapsing inward like a galaxy and spinning orbs of radiance.

It obscured the entire sky without leaving a single gap; though confined within the flask, it was vaster than heaven and earth, boundless and limitless, as if an infinitely extending space.

This was a world without end, where only the horizon met sky and earth, fused as one seamless whole.

Aside from the initial moment, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto made no movement, merely waiting silently for her opponent to exhaust all his techniques—even after being trapped within the 【Domain】 created by Yagokoro Eirin, her expression remained unchanged.

Only when the filthy mortal, presumptuous beyond measure, dared tell her "Let's fight one-on-one," did Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto's beautiful brows finally furrow.

The furious 【Lunar Divine Power】 erupted like a storm, sweeping through this space, this realm, its strength far exceeding imagination—nearly destroying the 【Flask Technique】 on the spot.

Even if she could only summon her own divine power, having lived alongside Yagokoro Eirin for hundreds of millions of years, she had witnessed this technique countless times; one glance was enough to find the domain's weakness—and shatter it.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"You won't escape so easily—come fight me to your heart's content!!"

Amid his roaring laughter, a power stronger than any Jia Ji had ever shown surged from his body! Enhanced to the utmost by the Sage's full effort and reinforced by the Draco Constellation, he had grown formidable enough to briefly resist the next tier.

Amid the earth-shaking laughter, the aura of death clashed violently with the aura of death; between the black-haired, black-eyed mortal and the goddess, a terrifying shockwave erupted.

—Then,

The result was shattered bones and spilled blood.

【One hand.】

This was what Jia Ji saw—followed instantly by his heart pounding wildly, nerves trembling and numbing, an unprecedented, overwhelming sense of crisis surging through his entire body.

In the first second, he was forced to unleash his ultimate power—the esoteric art only awakened when the Bear Star heir is cornered…

〖Heaven-Soaring Hundred Rending Fists〗!!

He raised both fists, channeling every ounce of his battle qi into them; the brilliant radiance reached such intensity that any ordinary person gazing upon it might burn out their retinas and go blind.

The surface of his fists pulsed with endless light, blazing like miniature suns as he poured every last drop of energy into them—vast, tyrannical, force as hard as steel and iron, unbreakable and unstoppable.

This was a hundred unreserved, all-out punches, abandoning all defense, hurling forth with boundless might and power—in an instant, countless ballistic waves erupted in the air, striking that single hand nearly simultaneously.

Punch!

Punch Punch Punch!!!

Dense, overwhelming, seemingly endless torrents of ferocious fist shadows rained down.

Countless fists blocked every possible escape route, forming an ocean of supreme punching force that surged toward that delicate hand—like a colossal tidal wave swallowing Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto whole.

And in the next instant, an attack too immense to describe ignored distance, ignored space, ignored the Hundred Rending Fists, pierced through everything, and touched his chest as weightlessly as a feather.

"Puh!"

In an instant, tyrannical, unmatched power crushed down upon him.

There was no thunderous collision—but the world, his body, had already been shattered.

A foul, metallic taste rose in his throat; an unknown fluid slowly dripped from his lips… As the black-haired goddess touched him, he felt a soul-rending pain, and his vision began to fracture.

Undeniable. Unquestionable. A single strike.

It had not been halted even slightly by his Heaven-Soaring Hundred Rending Fists!

Jia Ji's eyes bulged; he spat a mouthful of blood, then opened his mouth and vomited several more gouts—his internal organs felt crushed to pulp, ready to scatter as shredded meat across the ground.

His sclera were completely bloodshot, eyes filled with agony—the gap was so vast he could not possibly resist.

Was this Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto's despair-inducing destructive power—the power of the Three Noble Children? Even without standing on the moon, she still wielded the strength to shatter all opponents.

It was as if he'd been struck by the rotational force of the moon itself! Cheating! Cheating!

But in the next instant, his bloodied, grotesque face erupted in a wild, ecstatic roar!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—!"

His blood-red eyes glowed with icy, threadlike light, like a Shura escaped from the abyss of darkness; the seven-star radiance forcibly compressed and fused his nearly disintegrating body, allowing him to keep fighting.

He wiped the blood from his lips—this was only one move. Jia Ji was not so weak as to be finished so easily.

Having chosen to challenge a higher tier, he had prepared to be crushed utterly—but for now, let him struggle a little longer—

"Divine Warrior Armor—awaken!"

Struggling, Jia Ji pushed his power to its absolute limit and roared to the heavens.

His bare skin transformed into a battle armor forged from condensed battle qi—not merely resembling solid metal, but radiating a genuine blue metallic luster.

The true nature of the 【Divine Warrior Armor】 was in fact the signature technique of Senzui Jin, the former Spirit World Detective and now S-rank fugitive Jia Ji had once battled in the Yu Yu Hakusho world—the 【Battle Qi Steel Garb】!

Said to be attainable only by the most gifted spiritual energy cultivators, a legendary armor that could be formed solely by the supreme battle qi known as 【Holy Light Qi】.

It unified offense and defense, appearing and dispersing at will—the ultimate state achievable by humans of that realm, boosting defensive power to an unimaginable degree.

Since breaking into the Frenzy Tier, Jia Ji had briefly trained in the Yu Yu Hakusho martial arts—and within him, a deep intuition stirred: "I can do this too!"

He could. He absolutely could.

The Great Bear, Sovereign of Heaven, Ruler of Twelve Thousand Deities, Keeper of Human Lifespans—Heaven, Earth, Yin, Yang—all fall under his dominion.

The Ultimate Fist—Bear Star Divine Fist!

A legendary assassination fist said to challenge gods!

Since challenging this world's Lunar Goddess, the Three Noble Child, success was inevitable—he deserved the title of 【Divine Warrior】!

Powered by the strongest Dragon-Transforming Battle Qi ever summoned, this armor differed from the Holy Light Qi's Battle Qi Steel Garb; the 【Divine Warrior Armor】 took the form of the 【Bear Star Death Armor】—worn only by Bear Star disciples when risking their lives.

His entire body, mind, qi, and will were fully fused into this Divine Warrior Armor; as it trembled, the entire Flask Heaven world began to shake, like a mirage on the verge of vanishing, crumbling into instability.

Laughing wildly, infinite starlight converged upon Jia Ji—unreserved, fully unleashed—he became a roaring meteor, hurtling straight toward the impossibly powerful Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto's head.

Then—fuck it—punch down hard!!

【ROUND TWO, START!】
