Chapter 399. Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure)

"We bear no enmity toward you."

Seeing the crowd closing in, Eldrin remarked with puzzlement, "I am curious—why would you go to such great lengths, even at tremendous cost, to make an enemy of us?"

"I surmised you would pose this question."

Hugo (Person Name) nodded and raised his hand, summoning a radiant cerulean glazed armor that shielded everyone present.

He then turned his gaze to Eldrin and said with a placid expression, "Do you understand now?"

Bluegold Glazed Armor!

Eldrin's pupils abruptly contracted as he finally understood the origin of this treasure.

The 7 Treasures Glazed Armor was a peerless immortal treasure of the celestial realm. Later, an unknown immortal master replicated its forging method, ultimately devising 7 distinct techniques for crafting glazed armors.

By gathering 3 Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure) of peerless treasure grade, 1 may refine them into a supreme demon-subduing artifact.

This Hugo possessed the Blue Gold Glazed Armor, no wonder he had incurred the enmity of the Deng Immortal Clan in the past, and now even dared to oppose Eldrin without hesitation.

"A single Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure), whose worth even stirs profound longing within my heart."

Eldrin said calmly, "Demonic-refining treasures are exceptionally rare across the entire nation. Even if he knew Hugo possessed the Blue Gold Glazed Armor, he would undoubtedly devise means to claim it for himself."

Hugo originally had only a 40 percent certainty of surviving the Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation. Yet with the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures—this supreme artifact for refining demons—his chances of overcoming the tribulation soared to nearly 90-9 percent.

Such a supreme treasure, no wonder Hugo would risk incurring their mortal enmity and resort to a deadly ambush against them.

With this thought, Eldrin's gaze turned icy as he declared, "Your enmity with the Deng Clan is real, and this Blue Gold Glazed Armor has been concealed for years—no wonder I fell for your deception."

"In that case, your feud with the Deng Clan back then was also over the Crimson-Gold Glazed Armor (Magic Treasure) and the Purple-Gold Glazed Armor."

"So it shall be."

Hugo (Person Name)点了点头，面色如常的说道：“邓家传承千余年，还是有些底蕴的。”

"Back then, for the Violet Gold Glazed Armor, I once battled against that old devil Deng. The man possessed remarkable methods—he actually leveraged his mountain protection array to hold me at bay."

Later, when this man broke through to the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) and even forged the supreme-grade Crimson-Gold Glazed Armor (Magic Treasure), I found myself utterly powerless against him. Left with no choice, I could only return to my clan to advance my own cultivation.

"But when I emerged from seclusion after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, I discovered the Deng Clan had already been annihilated by you. Though uncertain of defeating you directly, I had been contemplating how to ambush you in Ji Province. Never did I expect you would deliver yourselves to my doorstep."

"To think we had long been ensnared in your schemes."

Lyra's gaze turned icy as she suddenly sneered, "Make your move."

Amidst their conversation, Lyra finally unleashed a technique she had been brewing for a long time.

High above in the firmament, an endless torrent of radiance descended from the 9 heavens, its might piercing through hundreds of miles as if to sink these very mountains and rivers into oblivion.

"It is the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art)."

Hugo's expression shifted dramatically. A person's reputation was like the shadow of a great tree. Lyra had unleashed this strike with her full power, its force already reaching 70 to 80 percent of a Nascent Soul cultivator's might.

However, he had long been prepared. 5 Golden Core Elders, accompanied by numerous cultivators, activated a set of formation flags to resist, raising a towering curtain of light that pierced the heavens.

This towering curtain of light, known as the Glazed Impenetrable Diamond Shield (Defensive Formation), was an immensely powerful defensive array. Driven by nearly a 1000 Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a 100 Purple Mansion experts, it actually managed to block this world-shaking great supernatural power.

However, after withstanding this blow, the formation's power was largely depleted. Dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators and several Purple Mansion experts immediately perished from the backlash.

"Hmph—"

At the same time, Eldrin activated the Earth Sovereign Bell to shield them both, then summoned the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords to strike out, aiming to shatter the 4 Symbols Flag Formation.

Hugo (Person Name) had long been prepared. With a swift activation of his Lifebound Array Banner, he instantly summoned a dancing array spirit to descend.

To his astonishment, these were none other than the 4 divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Each of these sacred beings possessed power comparable to Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm). When their energies converged and intertwined, the combined force they unleashed surpassed even Golden Core, Great Perfection by nearly 30 percent.

Seeing that the Heaven-Severing Twin Swords alone were insufficient to handle the situation, Lyra raised her hand and summoned the Ji Earth Kunyuan Disk. The overwhelming power of its formation patterns enveloped the void, simultaneously suppressing, sealing, and defending against the onslaught.

The runic patterns of this treasure clashed with Hugo's (Person Name) soul-bound array banners. Though they could not completely suppress the set of array banners, they managed to diminish the power of Hugo's (Person Name) 4 Symbols Flag Formation (Formation) by 30 percent.

After completing this step, Lyra's primordial incarnation descended between her brows. She then summoned the 8 Desolates and 6 Realms Cauldron and the Heaven's Ruin Immortal-Slaying Sword, preparing to join forces with Lyra in besieging Hugo.

Although Hugo (Person Name) possessed formidable strength, he still found it difficult to withstand the combined assault of 2 powerful cultivators.

Because Eldrin and Lyra were no ordinary Golden Cores, they not only possessed exceptionally formidable spiritual power, but also wielded more personal magical treasures, each with astonishing destructive might.

It must be admitted that a cultivator's combat prowess ultimately depends on whose divine abilities and magic treasures prove superior.

Of course, magic power is the source of strength, the foundation that drives all magical treasures and supernatural abilities. Without profound magic power, even the most powerful treasures and abilities would be impossible to wield, let alone engage in combat with others.

Under such circumstances, the role played by a life-bound magic treasure consuming only 30% of its energy was beyond doubt.

"Clan Master, we are here to aid you."

Just then, 5 Golden Core cultivators from the Huo clan closed in, intending to lend Hugo (Person Name) a hand.

Eldrin's gaze sharpened, and he declared, "Leave them to me."

"Good."

Lyra declared, summoning her divine artifact to block Hugo's advance as she swiftly swallowed a fourth-tier elixir to replenish her spiritual energy.

Eldrin summoned the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords, unleashing a strike toward the 5 Golden Core cultivators.

"Be careful."

The 5 Golden Cores fully grasped Eldrin's terror and hastily summoned their flying swords and magical treasures to strike.

The 2 leaders were at the Golden Core, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), while the 3 followers were all at the Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm). With their combined strength, they could barely hold their own even against a Golden Core, Great Perfection (Cultivation Realm) expert.

Eldrin faced 5 opponents alone, wielding the Celestial Parting Twin Blades and unleashing the 5 Elements Divine Thunder. His relentless assault left the 5 adversaries utterly breathless and overwhelmed.

Although the 5 Golden Cores wielded numerous magic treasures, he single-handedly neutralized over half of their mid-to-low fourth-grade artifacts using nothing but his Magnetic Treasure Mirror.

"We can't keep fighting like this."

A golden core, mid stage elder of the Huo clan spoke with a grave expression. He channeled his divine abilities to engage Eldrin in combat, then abruptly raised his hand and unleashed a streak of silver treasure light.

That radiant treasure was a silver bracelet, erupting with a dazzling display of Primordial Magnetic Divine Light that instantly locked down the Celestial Li Twin Swords.

“Magnetic Treasure Bracer (Magic Treasure)。”

Not good.

Eldrin’s expression shifted. Flying swords, being primordial magnetic treasures, were particularly vulnerable to magnetic restraints. Yet now, the 2 had actually produced a fourth-tier, superior-grade Magnetic Treasure Bracer.

Over the years, he had roamed the world unimpeded, with the primordial magnetic force of the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void (Magic Treasure) achieving illustrious military feats. Never did he imagine that it would still be restrained by another at this very moment.

The Celestial Severance Twin Swords were Eldrin's most proficient technique. Should these 2 immortal blades be destroyed, not only would Eldrin lose 2 revered swords of divine execution, but his ultimate combination technique—Celestial Severance Unity—would become utterly unusable.
