I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Wang Long, dressed all in black and looking completely bewildered,

As Lin Xuankong approached step by step, she finally slowly regained consciousness.

He swallowed hard.
"A top-tier fifth-order life form with exceptional genetic strength, mobilizing all the source energy in his body to self-destruct in an instant, and at such close range, you actually didn't die. No, not that you didn't die, you seem to show very few signs of injury. How did you do that? The ice shields you just cast, their defensive power and ability to absorb the power of the self-destruction were incredibly strong?"

Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly.
"The ice shields I instantly condensed, although comparable in strength to top-tier fifth-order alloys, could never withstand the terrifying power of a fifth-order life level expert's self-destruction. After all, even a fourth-order super expert would be injured at that distance!"

In addition, I was also injured. My second and third ribs on the left side were fractured, and my chest cavity was also injured from the shock. My arm was also dislocated, but it has all healed!

Upon hearing this, Wang Long became even more confused. "Just this little injury? That was the self-destruction of a top-tier fifth-order life level expert! Even a fourth-order super expert, standing in your position, would probably have suffered internal organ injuries and shattered bones from the shock! Since you weren't one of those ice shields that neutralized the terrifying power of Ma Chao's self-destruction, how did you, a fifth-order life level gene expert, survive that terrifying self-destruction, even blocking the explosive power that spread towards me and Han Liu?!"

Lin Xuankong revealed a cold smile, "Now is not the time to tell you these things. What I want to ask you now is whether you plan to follow that fifth-tier expert Ma Chao and self-destruct to repay the so-called Divine Envoy's promotion and attention, or choose to surrender to my Fire Seed Organization?"

Wang Long paused, remained silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"I am not Ma Chao, and I do not have a family as powerful as the Ma family behind me to worry about. So there is no need for me to die to prove my loyalty and protect my family! As for the promotion and attention given to me by the Divine Envoy, of the gene powerhouses who were promoted and trained with me, less than one in ten survived. They all died while assassinating important figures and geniuses from various countries for the Divine Envoy! Even if we don't talk about mutual exploitation, even if the Divine Envoy has been kind to me, after carrying out dozens of extremely dangerous missions, I have already repaid the favor tenfold!"

Now that I've been defeated by you, Lin Xuankong, what else is there to say? Even ants try to survive! Besides, being subdued by Lin Xuankong, who once defeated Yi Xue, the second strongest fifth-tier expert of the Yunqin Alliance, is no disgrace to me, Wang Long!

"Tell me, what do you want to ask? What information do you want to get?"

On the second day,
About seventy miles west of Shelter No. 36, there is a small hill where Guan Chong once appeared.

Lin Xuankong, along with Han Liu and Han Bao, ambushed in a ruin about fifteen miles from the foot of the mountain. According to Wang Long's confession, the leader of this assassination and capture mission against Lin Xuankong, Guan Chong, a fourth-order early-stage life level cultivator, used this place as his base and would gather all the Yunqin Alliance members who had infiltrated here every three days.

Han Bao observed the rubble for a while, then returned to the basement below and shook his head at Lin Xuankong. "There's no movement at all, and no signs of any gene-level experts nearby. It seems that what Wang Long said is true. Those assassins who infiltrated Tang Kingdom meet here every three days to exchange information!"

"Then let's wait until tomorrow. I want to see."

Just how strong is Guan Chong, who's hailed as the number one assassin in the Yunqin Alliance? Can he even break through my Purple Qi Armor?

Lin Xuankong's eyes were icy as he spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Xuankong had absolutely no intention of letting those who came specifically to assassinate and capture him go. Moreover, if this assassination attempt didn't make the Yunqin Alliance feel the pain and lose some top experts and important figures, then the teams coming to assassinate Lin Xuankong would likely keep coming, and even more assassins would appear!
Of course, if the entire team that came to assassinate him were wiped out, then the enmity between Lin Xuan Kong and the Thirty-Sixth Shelter and the Yun Qin Alliance would be much greater!
However, at this point, the Fire Seed Organization and the Yunqin Alliance were already at odds. Even if Lin Xuankong did not want to completely provoke the Yunqin Alliance, he could not avoid their confrontation!

Upon hearing this, Han Liu couldn't help but touch the invisible armor on his body, and said excitedly:

"Brother Leopard, it's a pity you weren't here yesterday!"

You probably can't imagine how terrifying the power of a top-tier fifth-order life form's self-destruction is. It's not much different from the full-force attack of some early to mid-fourth-order super strong individuals! At that time, I, Han Liu, was already prepared to meet Tai Nai, but then, tsk tsk tsk!
This armor—the invisible armor crafted by Master Lin—actually withstood the power of the self-destruction of a top-tier fifth-order life level expert, allowing Master Lin, who was at the forefront, to suffer minimal injury despite the terrifying destructive power!
In my opinion, the defensive capabilities of the invisible armor crafted by Master Lin are far superior to those pseudo-purple qi armors, which only offer one-twentieth the defensive effect of genuine purple qi armor! It's probably even more formidable than the true purple qi armor forged by the ancient human ancestors of Mars, who exhausted countless precious resources to create it!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bao couldn't help but nod. "It is indeed very strong! Back in Shelter Thirty-Six, we all felt the terrifying self-destruct power of that fifth-tier life level expert. We originally thought that any fifth-tier expert would perish on the spot under such a self-destruct attack, but Master Lin actually brought you back completely intact. The defensive power of this invisibility armor might actually be even stronger than the True Purple Qi Armor!"

Seeing the two so excited and showering him with flattery, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, saying:

"You two don't need to flatter me like that. I know very well how effective the source armor I personally crafted is in terms of defense!"
After all, the forging of this invisible source weapon armor used a large number of very common source beast materials, replacing many extremely precious and rare materials. To say that its defensive effect is stronger than the True Purple Qi Armor is nonsense. However, in terms of pure defensive effect, it can at least have about 90% of the effect of the True Purple Qi Armor! "Ninety percent of the effect?"
That's already incredibly outrageous!
The True Purple Qi Armor worn by President Wang Ze is unique on the entire planet Mars. Even the so-called Galactic Emperors and Azure Emperors of the previous generation, who called themselves gods, spent countless years trying to replicate it but could not. They could only forge a pseudo-Purple Qi Armor with one-twentieth of the defensive effect. Moreover, only a few dozen sets of that pseudo-Purple Qi Armor were forged, which exhausted all the most precious materials that the Mars humans of the previous generation could collect!

As a result, when this refining plan came into your hands, Master Lin, you not only modified a large number of materials, allowing the refining of the pseudo-purple qi armor to be freed from the constraints of those extremely rare materials, but you also increased the defensive power of the pseudo-purple qi armor to ninety percent. With this level of defensive power, how can it still be called pseudo-purple qi armor? It can be called true purple qi armor!

Han Liu exclaimed in amazement, his face filled with admiration and worship.

Having personally experienced the terrifying power of a fifth-tier expert's self-destruction, which made survival nearly impossible, Han Liu deeply understood just how abnormal, powerful, and astonishing the defensive effect of the invisible armor crafted by his teacher, Lin Xuankong, was!
"From today until the day our Fireseed organization achieves final victory, I, Han Liu, have decided that I will wear this forever! I will never take it off, not even when I'm sleeping or going to the toilet. I want to see how many guys on the entire planet Mars can break through my defenses and put me in danger!"

Hearing this, Han Bao nodded repeatedly, then reached out and stroked the invisible armor he was wearing, sighing:
"Actually, in my opinion, the most powerful aspect of this source armor is not only its ability to withstand the full-force attack of a fourth-tier super powerhouse or the effect of a fifth-tier powerhouse's self-destruction, but more importantly, it can even withstand the effects of special genetic abilities like those of Wang Long and Ma Chao, which are imperceptible to others!"

When Han Liu heard Han Bao mention this, he immediately became excited and nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, yeah, not bad, not bad at all, Brother Leopard, this time you've finally hit the nail on the head!"

Han Bao paused, his expression blank: Was he praising me?
Han Liu ignored Han Bao's paused expression and continued speaking, spittle flying everywhere:

"After being affected by Wang Long's puppet seal and Ma Chao's special genetic ability, no matter how I resisted, I was unable to mobilize source energy or control my body. Especially Wang Long's puppet seal, it was simply too bizarre. It could completely control other people's bodies remotely, causing them to commit suicide! No wonder Wang Long and Ma Chao were able to become the director and deputy director of the first division of the top law enforcement agency of the Yunqin Alliance, a super power!"

If it were an ordinary fifth-tier gene powerhouse, encountering an attack from this special gene ability would be completely unsolvable. They could only watch helplessly as they were controlled, taken away, or even killed at will!
At that moment, I saw the puppet mark appear on Master Lin's chest as well, and I felt utterly hopeless. I thought Master Lin had also been completely controlled by Wang Long. At that time, I really started wondering what I might be reincarnated as in my next life.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that Master Lin had been wearing the Invisible Source Armor all along. So the puppet mark of Wang Long only appeared on the surface of the Invisible Source Armor. The strange special genetic ability was neutralized by the Invisible Source Armor and did not actually control Master Lin!
What happened after Lin Shi was seemingly controlled and taken away was actually just to extract more information from these two guys, and they even planned to have these two guys take Lin Shi and me to their base here!

Looking back now, I have to admire Master Lin; he was simply too insidious. Uh, I mean, simply too cunning. No, no, I actually mean, simply too clever—he turned the tables on us! Besides, Master Lin's acting was so realistic; you couldn't tell he was acting at all. I'm absolutely blown away!

Lin Xuankong was speechless when he saw this guy spouting nonsense.

Han Bao nodded repeatedly from the side, "Speaking of which, Master Lin's invisible source weapon armor is still the most powerful. Even if it is slightly inferior to the True Purple Qi Armor in terms of defensive effect, the problem is that the True Purple Qi Armor is so gorgeous, and it cannot be invisible. It lacks many special uses and cannot create a situation where the opponent is careless and then the game is turned around!"
Therefore, comparing the two, I personally believe that, whether in terms of the materials required for refining or the versatility of its functions, the invisible source weapon armor personally crafted by Master Lin actually surpasses the True Purple Qi Armor, whose materials are extremely difficult to collect!

"I agree, hehehe!" Han Liu raised his hand immediately.

"Alright, you two, have you finished flattering me? If you're done, then keep a close watch on that hill from the lookout post!"

Lin Xuankong ignored the two guys who were singing in unison and simply kicked them out.

but,

Regarding the source armor

Not only could it defend against the self-destruction of a top-tier fifth-order life level expert, but it could also counteract the effects of various peculiar special genetic abilities. Lin Xuankong was quite satisfied.

The thought that the defensive and attenuating abilities of this Origin Armor actually originated from the Purple Qi Armor caused Lin Xuankong's brows to furrow slightly again. He knew very well that the previous generations of Marsian human powerhouses who could forge such a powerful True Purple Qi Armor must have been exceptionally talented super-strong individuals, whose comprehension and talent were absolutely unmatched!
However, even with so many super-strong humans whose comprehension, talent, and innate abilities far surpassed ordinary geniuses, the entire human race of Mars, from the generation before that, including the generation before that, was still defeated in the battle against the demons of the Central Star. One can only imagine how powerful the demons of the ancient and evil planet Central Star, which has existed for countless ages, must be!
Even though those who come to Mars each time are likely just the youngest or weakest among the demons of the Central Star with relatively low life levels, they are still not to be underestimated!
This battle between the Mars humans and the Central Star Reapers will erupt completely once the Gate of Descent opens, and the situation will certainly be dire!
He needed to prepare enough powerful source artifacts before that terrible war fully erupted, whether it was this kind of source artifact armor, the Universal Jewel, or other source artifacts he might obtain in the future. Because the time left for this planetary human race by the Gate of Descent was running out! (End of Chapter)
