Chapter 534: The Benefits of Stacking Dark Weapons

Buzz~

Dark-blue light wove into clouds before his eyes, and all manner of information rolled forth to appear!

With the Sea-Splitting Star Core and the Void-Sea Dark Turtle as the main components, mixed with the essence of ten thousand divine irons and the spirit of the Sea-Splitting Ocean, it underwent the baptism of the Nine Heavens Gang Fire and the Thunder Sea!

Thus formed, after receiving the baptism of divine fire in the eight temples, it gave birth to spiritual awareness; this is the Spirit of the Dark Turtle!

"Condition for Control One: Supreme Art-level Body Tempering at Great Perfection, Form of the Turtle and Snake, Form of the Spiritual Turtle (not yet claimed by master)"

【Dark Turtle's Bright Scales, not yet claimed by master】

【Effect of Control One: Tier 12 (Black): Innate Body Tempering Body at Tier 11 (Dark Color), Dark Weapon cannot harm, Form of the Dark Turtle, Body of the Turtle and Snake】

Condition for Control Two:?

Effect of Control Two:?

Sea-Suppressing Dark Turtle Armor!

Li Yuan snapped out of his daze and saw at the source of that dark light a suit of armor floating before him, shaped like a dark turtle and covered in various complex and ancient patterns!

"A Tier 12 Body Tempering talent!"

Reaching out to grab that suit of armor, a cold sensation surged into his body; Li Yuan's joy in his heart exceeded expectations!

Based on his understanding of Control enhancements, a single Tier 12 Control effect is equivalent to the sum of three Tier 11 effects; just one 'Innate Body Tempering Body' is likely a peerless-level talent enhancement!

【Innate Body Tempering Body: The Void Dark Turtle combines with the spirit of the Sea-Splitting Ocean, uniting hardness and tolerance into one! Once controlled and worn, any Body Tempering technique touched immediately reaches Great Perfection; with slight cultivation, it can far surpass the creator of the technique!】

Dark Weapon cannot harm: Dragon and snake coil around the spiritual turtle, forming the Dark Turtle; the Dark Turtle combines with the vast ocean, capable of resisting ten thousand weapons, capable of deflecting ten thousand forces, difficult to break, difficult to grind, difficult to harm】

【Form of the Dark Turtle: A hundred forms yield the Mirage Dragon, a thousand forms may not reveal the Dark Turtle; its form can transform into alien forces, can resist ten thousand weapons!!!】

【Body of the Turtle and Snake: The spiritual snake coils around the spiritual turtle, uniting hardness and softness into one; can deflect all kinds of forces, can resist all kinds of external forces!】

What is hardness?

Focusing slightly, Li Yuan could not help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air!

Not counting the yet-unseen Effect of Control Two, just these four Control enhancements alone made his heart tremble!

"This armor, even without Control, simply by wearing it, its defense far exceeds the sum of the Mirage Dragon Armor and the Crimson Blood Pattern Dragon Armor; no, it cannot even be compared on the same day!"

Li Yuan's eyes were very bright; holding the Dark Turtle Armor, he was quite reluctant to let go. With this armor worn and covered by the Life-Nurturing Furnace, even Wan Wan Zhuliu's full-force strike would probably not harm him by a hair's breadth, right?

And...

"Form of the Dark Turtle, Body of the Turtle and Snake; this is at least two thousand forms!"

Feeling the information coming from the Sea-Suppressing Dark Turtle Armor, Li Yuan was in high spirits; as things stood, his choice was not a loss, but rather...

... a huge profit!

"It was not in vain that I gave up the Subdue-Demon Dragon God Blade and the Dun Tian Zhou!"

Li Yuan's spirit was invigorated; adding these two thousand forms meant he could instantly push his combined forms to over seven thousand!

Ten thousand forms were truly within reach!

Raising his eyes to look at the ancient temple behind the rugged strange stone forest, Li Yuan felt expectation; if he could stack his own talent to the level of Gods and Demons at the fastest speed, perhaps he could ignore the trial of entering the temple and enter the temple directly?

The only thing to worry about was the spirit pills!

"I currently have over a thousand spirit pills, two Long Long Modadan, and one Longhu Longhu Dadan for the purpose of entering the Dao!"

These spirit pills are probably not enough for me to alter six thousand forms!

Li Yuan muttered to himself; regarding this, he had some calculations in his heart!

"I also do not know when the people of the imperial court will enter the temple!"

After ascending the mountain peak, Li Yuan's thoughts were different; he no longer cared about the imperial court entering the temple, but rather expected more and more people to come in; once they came in, he could get out!

"This armor, this armor..."

At his waist, the little female dragon poked her head out, holding half her body upright, full of surprise and doubt as she looked at this armor shaped like a dark turtle; she sensed a deep and vast aura!

It was like an endless ocean!

"Guard!"

Li Yuan returned to his senses, tugged at the Mirage Dragon belt at his waist, sat down on the spot, flipped his wrist, and had already stored the Dark Turtle Armor into his Dark Weapon Space!

The benefits of cultivating various martial arts simultaneously and possessing various forms were now clearly evident!

The first condition for controlling the Sea-Suppressing Dark Turtle Armor was completely met by him; although he had just obtained it, he could already control it: "Control, Sea-Splitting Dark Turtle Armor!"

Buzz~

With a mere thought from Li Yuan, the gray Dingxin Dingxin Shitai immediately erupted with dazzling light!

The Control seal characters shaped like a star map moved slowly, with nine large stars within shining brightly, their colors interwoven!

Roar!

Almost the instant he controlled the Dark Turtle Armor, a massive roar exploded within Li Yuan's heart sea, sounding like both a dragon and a turtle!

In a trance, he seemed to see again that Sea-Splitting Star covering the Inverted Mountain, resembling a water planet, and a colossal creature swimming in the ocean, with countless tornadoes and hurricanes following it as it breathed!

The turtle moved through the ocean like the migration of continental plates; wherever it passed, wild winds surged, and countless undercurrents and giant waves rose layer upon layer!

Amidst the towering water mist, the giant turtle, resembling a Dark Weapon, was visible; its armor was covered in desolate patterns, with dragons and snakes coiling around its body, further increasing its ferocity and violence!

"Sea-Suppressing Dark Turtle!"

In an instant, the shadow of the Dark Turtle scattered, and immense power followed, adding to his body; Li Yuan let out a muffled groan, feeling his qi and blood surge, with bloodstains seeping from his seven orifices!

But that was all; his current physique could already withstand the massive recoil when controlling a Dark Weapon; after a slight adjustment of his breath, there was no abnormality!

Buzz~

A new Control effect added to his body!

Li Yuan closed his eyes; he could clearly perceive that spiritual energy, seemingly arriving from nowhere, transmitted through his divine soul to every part of his body!

Then, he felt a change!

"Innate Body Tempering Body!"

Li Yuan turned his inner gaze upon his own body!

Amidst the various enhancements of the Zhenhai Shan Xuan Gui Jia, the first thing he felt was the enhancement of the Twelfth-Rank Command over this!

In his perception, his physique underwent subtle changes; they were not intense, yet upon focused perception, they were utterly astonishing!

"This feeling..."

The various profound principles of the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body rose in Li Yuan's mind; subsequently, in his perception, his body had already begun to move spontaneously!

From the internal organs to the meridians, then entering the skin, membranes, tendons, and bones!

His body trembled spontaneously, operating the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body in an extremely efficient manner!

"This works too?"

Li Yuan was startled in his heart; the various hard-body Wu Gong he had learned rose up in his mind, such as the "Golden Bell Shield," Iron Cloth Shirt, and so on!

These hard-body Wu Gong did not necessarily complement each other; indeed, there were many points of conflict between them!

But at this moment, in Li Yuan's perception, the various hard-body techniques he thought of were actually operating simultaneously; points of conflict naturally harmonized, and originally obscure areas became smooth!

This feeling was as if, in an instant, one had leaped from the primitive agriculture of drilling wood for fire to fully automated mechanization requiring no human labor!

"No, this is not just the enhancement of the Zhenhai Shan Xuan Gui Jia; there is also the enhancement of the Dragon-Tiger Life-Nurturing Furnace... various Command enhancements stacked together, reaching this point to produce a qualitative change?"

Li Yuan opened his eyes, rose to stand in a posture, and assumed the Xu Tui stance!

Once he moved, his perception became even clearer; the hard-body Wu Gong operating spontaneously within his body did not affect his walking, sitting, or lying down; every movement remained unaffected, and was instead even more smooth and natural!

"This is more like the body multitasking?"

Li Yuan's expression was subtle; he felt the benefits!

"What is this called? My body can practice Wu Gong automatically?"

Li Yuan lowered his stance, sat cross-legged again, and took out fundamental charts of hard-body martial arts from the Commanding Weapon Space; after silently reciting each one, his body began to operate them spontaneously!

He flipped through more than ten such charts before stopping; he had now tested his current limit!

"Below the superior hard-body level, one can cultivate over ten simultaneously; above the superior level, including supreme arts, one cannot exceed six!"

"As for speed, although it is not as fast as when I practice with full concentration, it wins by being endless; even while sitting in meditation, or even sleeping, one can naturally temper the physique!"

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"

The more he tried, the more delighted Li Yuan became; the stacked enhancements of the three Daoist Tianyun Daoist Tianyun Xuanbing seemed to have broken through a certain critical point, causing his Wu Gong efficiency to skyrocket!

"A single line higher in talent truly means boundless height!"

Li Yuan marveled in his heart; compared to those with mediocre or low bone structure, this efficiency was no longer a matter of a few times difference; it was a world apart.

The gap between them was greater than that between a dragon and a worm!

"The Daoist has built it up layer by layer, but some people are born with such high talent; this gap!"

Recalling the geniuses mentioned by the Little Female Dragon, Li Yuan let out a long breath, then glanced again at the ancient temple behind the Strange Stone Forest: "Stack! Stack hard!"

After slightly relieving his spirit, Li Yuan sensed the remaining enhancements!

The form of the Shan Xuan Turtle, the body of the Turtle and Snake, were just as he had heard; they could be used to alter the bone structure. As for the "Shan Xuan Weapon Hard to Harm," Li Yuan found his perception of it quite strange!

"Like wearing an invisible full-body armor?"

Li Yuan flexed and extended his five fingers, touching his arm. Similar enhancements like "Blades and Swords Cannot Harm" were not something he had never commanded before, but such a distinct enhancement from the Zhenhai Shan Xuan Gui Jia, he had never seen before!

In his feeling, it was as if he truly wore the Zhenhai Shan Xuan Gui Jia!

After thinking for a moment, he took out the Fire Dragon Sword, turned his wrist, and slashed at a long lock of hair hanging from his temple!

Only the sound of a sharp "Dang!" rang out; sparks flew everywhere; the Fire Dragon Sword let out a mournful cry, its light dimmed instantly, and Li Yuan did not even feel the slightest Ba Ba Waili!

"What a good thing!"

Only at this moment did Li Yuan truly feel the meaning of the saying "Among divine weapons, armor is the most precious"; the wonderful utility of this Shan Xuan Turtle Jia exceeded his expectations!

This was only the enhancement of "Shan Xuan Weapon Hard to Harm"; wait until he alters the form of the Shan Xuan Turtle and the body of the Turtle and Snake!

"I'm afraid even a Grandmaster holding a supreme divine weapon could not harm me in the slightest?"

Although it was impossible to truly try, just thinking this made Li Zhou's heart pound with excitement.

He immersed himself even more enthusiastically in familiarizing himself with the wonderful utilities of the Shan Xuan Turtle Jia!

"Shan Xuan Armor Returns to the Temple? Interesting..."

Watching the scene reflected in the mirror, somewhere in the forested mountains of Yan Shan, Qin Yun's expression was subtle; meanwhile, in the mirror, the voice of Qin Li Shixian came through: "A message from the tower: Li Yuan has been missing for a month; even Han Han Chuijun does not know his whereabouts; he left and never returned!"

This boy is probably guarding against you!

Human nature!

Qin Yun's face changed: "It seems this old man misjudged... Fortunately, there is still a chance to meet!"

Not far away, on a temporarily built wooden platform, the figure of Chi He Lian, holding a large umbrella, trembled and lowered her head: "Senior, when is the sacrifice?"
