Luo Feng's Divine Armor

Luo Feng hadn't expected his battle armor to manifest in such a way. While the Peng Gong Master's Yan Jun Staff and the Giant Axe Founder's Divine Axe could both extend to form a set of armor, Luo Feng's three pairs of wings had never done so, so he hadn't given it much thought. Even though Peixing Master wore black armor and black wings, Luo Feng hadn't realized that the 'black armor' was formed by extension. But just now, the moment the five pairs of wings integrated into his back, Luo Feng activated his divine power and discovered that the wing roots could extend. This extension... effortlessly swept over his entire body, forming a set of battle armor. “Master,” the Shi Wu Spirit directly transmitted, “This is the auxiliary battle armor formed by the Shi Wu Wings. Its power should be comparable to a supreme true treasure battle armor.” The content of this single mental transmission left Luo Feng dumbfounded: “A supreme true treasure-tier battle armor?” “The Shi Wu Wings are a mechanical-stream treasure used by beings far surpassing Cosmic Ultimate Experts,” the Shi Wu Spirit stated, sounding displeased. “When complete, just two pairs are second only to a supreme true treasure, and three pairs possess the power of a supreme true treasure. Four pairs... already surpass it. The wings you currently possess are the first, second, third, fourth, and sixth pairs.” Luo Feng nodded inwardly. Previously, he had obtained the first, second, and sixth pairs. It seemed he had acquired the third and fourth pairs from Peixing Master. “Only adjacent wings can perfectly combine,” the Shi Wu Spirit explained. “The sixth pair and the other four pairs still have some disjointed secret patterns, preventing their power from stacking optimally. However, the first four pairs are already quite complete. They absolutely surpass ordinary supreme true treasures, and even the auxiliary battle armor they form can rival a standard supreme true treasure battle armor.” Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. Back in the wing space, witnessing its boundless power, he knew the Shi Wu Wings were extraordinary. Now, with more components, they were indeed growing stronger. “Why couldn't the initial two pairs of wings form an auxiliary battle armor?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled. “Master.” “The Shi Wu Wings, with their six pairs, each have different functions,” the Shi Wu Spirit transmitted. “The lowest first and second pairs act as the foundation, like the roots of a great tree or the spine of a battle blade. Their primary role is to solidify the base. Only with the integration of other wings do various auxiliary powers manifest. According to my analysis, the third to fifth pairs should all be auxiliary powers, while the sixth pair is solely for offense!” Luo Feng nodded, finding it logical. The first and second pairs of wings were the most selfless and steadfast, like the keel of a grand ship, the foundation of a skyscraper, or... In short, they were the fundamental basis of a 'machine.' “I see,” Luo Feng mused. “Typically, offensive supreme true treasures can extend to form battle armor,” Luo Feng remarked with emotion. “Mechanical-stream treasures are famously versatile and excel at fighting beyond their tier. How could they lack even the most basic armor extension? Now I understand... it's not that they don't have it, it's that my mechanical-stream treasure isn't complete yet.” “Shi Wu, what is the power of this auxiliary battle armor?” Luo Feng inquired. “Be precise.” “First, attacks at or below the eighth-tier will be easily blocked by the divine armor, causing no harm to your divine body.” “Second, attacks surpassing the eighth-tier will be weakened to one-millionth by the divine armor,” the Shi Wu Spirit continued. “Furthermore, the divine armor's endurance limit is extremely high; at least no Cosmic Ultimate Expert can reach its limit.” Luo Feng was astonished. Attacks at or below the eighth-tier causing no harm? That was impressive enough. Weakened to one-millionth? That was decent, considering the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor could weaken attacks to one-hundred-thousandth. But! The endurance limit was so high that even Cosmic Ultimate Experts couldn't reach it. What did this mean? It meant the 'one-millionth' weakening could be fully utilized! One must know that the stronger an attack, the less effective an armor's weakening ability becomes. An armor that could supposedly weaken an attack to one-hundred-thousandth might only weaken a powerful enemy's attack to one-thousandth or one-hundredth, drastically increasing the danger. The Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor was absolutely formidable at the Cosmic Overlord level. However, when fighting Cosmic Ultimate Experts, it would repeatedly exceed its limit, causing its defensive effect to sharply diminish. “One-millionth? And perfectly effective?” Luo Feng exclaimed in shock. “Does this mean that a Cosmic Ultimate Expert with a supreme true treasure battle armor... simply cannot be physically killed by another Cosmic Ultimate Expert?” “Correct.” Luo Feng nodded. It seemed this was indeed a fact. No one could kill a Cosmic Ultimate Expert with a supreme true treasure battle armor through physical attacks. Only the perilous environments of the Three Great Perilous Zones could threaten such beings. Even the mighty Original Ancestor, who excelled at soul attacks, possessed peak tenth-tier soul attacks! “With this auxiliary battle armor, I fear no physical attack from anyone, right?” Luo Feng said with immense confidence. “However, in a war of attrition, I'd be at a disadvantage.” Attack and defense were different. Attacks were augmented by secret techniques and true treasures, their power surging thousands or tens of thousands of times. Defense, however, had no such augmentation; it relied solely on battle armor! If one could block with a weapon, fine, but if not, one could only rely on the 'battle armor' to weaken the attack. If one's strength was insufficient to retaliate, one could only rely on the 'battle armor' to weaken. Battle armor was the body's sole resistance against physical attacks. “Every battle, even with a one-millionth weakening, will still impact and consume my divine body,” Luo Feng mused. “Other Cosmic Ultimate Experts have vast divine bodies and high divine power levels. My divine body is small, my divine power level is low, and I still need to constantly maintain Annihilation. If a battle drags on, I'll be finished.” Luo Feng understood. He had to finish battles quickly! In summary, compared to true Cosmic Ultimate Experts, his weaknesses were his inability to withstand prolonged wars of attrition and his flying speed being unable to break through the 'speed limit.' Of course, he possessed a Star Tower, Blood Shadow Blade, Shi Wu Wings auxiliary battle armor, and the Tomb Mausoleum Boat, giving him a significant advantage in terms of treasures. The five pairs of wings spread out fully, hovering before Luo Feng. Luo Feng infused his divine power into the wings to examine them, carefully studying the Shi Wu Wings. Upon closer inspection, he discovered their peculiarity: unlike the Star Tower, Black Prison Tower, and other supreme true treasures, which had many layers of secret patterns, the incredibly powerful Shi Wu Wings currently possessed only four layers of secret patterns. The first layer of secret patterns, centered on the first pair of wings. The second layer of secret patterns, themed around the second pair of wings. ... The fourth layer of secret patterns, themed around the fourth pair of wings. Only these four layers. The first layer was named 'Chaotic Space-Time.' The second was 'Golden Kingdom.' The third... “This third layer is truly difficult,” Luo Feng frowned. He had been studying it for over an epoch in the cultivation space. “It's even harder than the fifth layer of secret patterns of the Star Tower!” Such was the reality. As a mechanical-stream treasure, its secret patterns were few in number but extremely high in quality. The first layer, Luo Feng could comprehend even at the Undying level. The second layer, Luo Feng only comprehended after cultivating for over a hundred million years in the Beast God World, reaching the Cosmic Overlord level in secret pattern flow, thus grasping the 'Golden Kingdom.' The third layer, Luo Feng found difficult even at his current level. The leap was too great. Luo Feng wouldn't give up easily. He vaguely sensed that the auxiliary battle armor was merely a supplementary power. The secret patterns contained within this third pair of wings were truly terrifying. Thus, he dedicated himself to studying and comprehending them. Time flowed on. The Tomb Mausoleum Boat embarked on its return journey within the Tilted Peak Sector, spending approximately 300 years before finally flying out of it. 300 years in the outside world, but 300 epochs in the cultivation space! During these 300 epochs... Luo Feng dedicated most of his energy to researching the divine power pathways, aiming for further advancement. The remaining small portion of his energy was spent on the third layer of secret patterns of the Shi Wu Wings. Combining these two tasks also allowed him to relax. “It's just too difficult.” “I can't comprehend it, I just can't.” As the Tomb Mausoleum Boat flew out of the Tilted Peak Sector, Luo Feng could only shake his head. “I feel its profoundness should be comparable to the sixth layer of the Star Tower.” The sixth layer of the Star Tower, peak eighth-tier! Some relatively strong Cosmic Ultimate Experts, like Haolei Star Master and Mechanical Father God, could comprehend this level. As for the even more powerful ones like Giant Axe and First True Master, they could comprehend peak ninth-tier. The Original Ancestor (in his prime) could comprehend peak tenth-tier. “I am merely a Cosmic Overlord.” “After creating a peak sixth-tier blade technique, being able to comprehend peak seventh-tier or barely eighth-tier is already my limit,” Luo Feng understood. “To comprehend peak eighth-tier secret patterns, I must create an even stronger blade technique.” To improve fundamentally. Could a Cosmic Overlord create a seventh-tier blade technique? The powerhouses of the various great forces in the Universe Ocean would all say no. However, before this, these same forces believed that Cosmic Overlords couldn't even create peak sixth-tier blade techniques (the initial level for Cosmic Ultimate Experts). Yet, the selection process for the Duan Dong River lineage's inheritance required the creation of a peak sixth-tier blade technique as a basic entry condition for Cosmic Overlords. “According to the inheritance records.” “Cosmic Overlords creating peak sixth-tier secret techniques: many geniuses in ancient civilizations achieved this. Every generation of Duan Dong River successors could do it.” “Cosmic Overlords creating peak seventh-tier secret techniques: this was rare even in ancient civilizations, but over half of the Duan Dong River successors could achieve it.” “Cosmic Overlords creating ordinary eighth-tier secret techniques: only two Duan Dong River successors throughout history managed this, including the third generation Ancestral Master.” Luo Feng made a silent resolution. Indeed, since creating Nirvana Rebirth, he hadn't created any better secret techniques. He knew that after receiving the inheritance, his cultivation conditions were far superior to before, making it highly possible to create a peak seventh-tier secret technique. He had to demand of himself the standards of an absolute genius from ancient civilizations. “Becoming a Cosmic Ultimate Expert will be difficult, likely taking a very long time.” “So, during this period, I will strive to enhance my combat power... I want them to understand that since I have inherited the Duan Dong River lineage, even as a Cosmic Overlord, I can suppress them.” Temporarily abandoning the comprehension of the third layer of secret patterns of the Shi Wu Wings, he instead fully dedicated himself to researching 'divine power pathways' and 'creating blade techniques.' “Now...” In the vast chaotic currents, Luo Feng, piloting the Tomb Mausoleum Boat and preparing to head to the Universe Boat to retrieve Jie Fan Zi's remaining treasures, had a thought. “I can totally go look for the last pair of wings!” “One pair of wings has an extremely small sensing range.” “Two pairs of wings can sense tens of light-years.” “Three pairs of wings... The distance between Peixing Master and me previously, with both of us teleporting and flying, took a full 20 years, estimated to be several thousand light-years. And the summoning was quite strong then, indicating that the summoning range of three pairs of wings likely exceeds ten thousand light-years.” “From this, I deduce—” “It seems that with each additional pair of wings, the sensing range increases by at least a thousandfold. If so, four pairs of wings should be able to sense tens of millions of light-years! And five pairs of wings... wouldn't that mean sensing tens of billions of light-years?” Luo Feng grew excited. One must remember that a Miniature Universe is only about a hundred million light-years in diameter. The Three Great Perilous Zones were each only about a hundred million light-years across. The two great Sacred Lands were larger, but still only several billion light-years. “In that case, if I fly close to those Miniature Universes, and if the last pair of wings is within one of them, I should be able to sense it, right?” As Luo Feng thought of this, his heart immediately burned with excitement. The Shi Wu Wings, this powerful mechanical-stream treasure, was only missing its final pair. “Let's go, find the location of the last pair of wings.” Luo Feng could no longer restrain himself. He immediately piloted the Tomb Mausoleum Boat and began flying towards the nearest Miniature Universe. As for Jie Fan Zi's remaining treasures? He'd worry about that after finding the sixth pair of wings.
