Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 79 One-Arm Armor

The void is the nesting place of the Eye of Annihilation. In this pitch-black void, strange lights occasionally flicker. Sometimes the light is as faint as a firefly, and sometimes it is as intense as the sun. It must be said that every flicker brings a sense of unease.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the void, a humanoid metal body, fifteen meters tall, stood silently, surrounded by a large amount of rare metals, and a figure was busily constructing something.

"The forging platform is finally finished. Things will be much easier from now on. Forging the battle armor is just around the corner!" Ye Qi'an straightened up slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Indeed, the person who came was Ye Qi'an, who had recently returned from robbing Mingdetang. He slowly walked towards the humanoid metal body, his fingers gently brushing across the metal surface, feeling its cold and hard texture.

"With you as a reference template, the creation of battle armor will no longer be an unattainable dream."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qi'an turned around and returned to the forging table. He was completely focused on organizing the rare metals and experimental contents of the No. 1 test subject in front of him, his thoughts racing.

"The design of the battle armor is extremely crucial. Based on the conditions I currently have, I can complete the one-word battle armor using spirit forging, but the hardness of the spirit forging metal is not enough..." Thinking of this, Ye Qi'an fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed tightly.

"The hardness of a single metal is ultimately limited. Perhaps we can try fusing multiple metals to improve the metal's own strength and its ability to withstand energy. Alloys are made by fusing different metals together in a certain proportion."

While pondering, Ye Qian picked up two pieces of metal from the table, intending to practice first. He placed the two pieces of metal on the forging table, adjusted the temperature of the flame, and carefully began to heat the two pieces of metal.

When the metal was almost heated, two spirit forging hammers appeared in Ye Qi'an's hands. He struck one of the hammers and began to hammer the two pieces of metal that were fusing together. Each strike was just right, making the metals bond together more tightly without damaging their structure. As the hammering continued, the shape of the metals gradually changed, becoming more regular and smooth.

As the metal changed, Ye Qi'an began to adjust the force and frequency of his tapping, striving to make the two pieces of metal fuse more perfectly. When the metals were almost fused together...

Ye Qian stopped what he was doing and waited for the metal to cool down before picking it up and examining it closely. "Hmm, this fusion seems to be working well. The hardness has improved significantly, but we still need to try other metal combinations to see if we can find a more ideal solution."

After carefully recording the metal proportions and the effects of forging the metal, Ye Qi'an put down the metal block in his hand. Then, he returned to the pile of rare metals and began selecting different metals.

Looking at the three pieces of metal in his hand, Ye Qi'an murmured softly, "I wonder what kind of surprise these three pieces of metal will bring me?"

He placed the three pieces of metal on the forging table, adjusted the flame temperature again, and the flame burned fiercely, gradually heating up the three pieces of metal on the forging table.

Ye Qi'an gripped the spirit forging hammer in his hand again, and when the metal reached the right temperature, he did not hesitate to strike with the first blow.

The crisp sound of hammering echoed in the void. Each strike was precise in its force and rhythm. The metal slowly deformed under his hammer. As the hammering continued, the surface of the metal shone with a strange light, sometimes as faint as a star, sometimes as dazzling as a diamond.

When the metal was almost fully fused, Ye Qi'an stopped what he was doing again and patiently waited for it to cool down. His heart was racing. Once the metal had cooled down, he couldn't wait to pick it up and examine it closely.

"This fusion seems to be even better, with a significant increase in both hardness and toughness."

After meticulously recording the proportions of the metal and the forging effect, Ye Qi'an went to a nearby table, pulled out a piece of paper, and began designing his first single-arm left-arm battle armor.

"Elder Yi, do you know about that attack amplification formation?" Ye Qi'an asked his spiritual sea while designing the left arm armor.

Electrolux's calm voice rang out: "I do know a little about attack amplification formations, but setting up such a formation is not simple; it requires precise control over the flow of various energies."

A hint of excitement flashed in Ye Qi'an's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Elder Yi, please tell me quickly, how exactly should this attack amplification formation be set up?"

Electrolux paused for a moment, seemingly gathering his thoughts, before slowly saying, "First, you need to pinpoint the location of the battle armor's energy core and connect the key nodes of the formation to it. This will ensure the formation fully utilizes the battle armor's energy. Second, select suitable energy-conducting materials to allow the energy within the formation to flow smoothly. During the formation's setup, every line must be drawn with absolute precision; otherwise, the formation may malfunction or even backfire."

Ye Qi'an listened attentively to Electrolux's explanation, his pen constantly jotting down key points on the paper.

"In addition, the attack-enhancing formations need to be adjusted according to different combat situations. For example, when facing powerful enemies, you can increase the energy output of the formation to enhance the power of the attack; while when facing agile enemies, you can adjust the frequency of the formation to make the attack faster and more accurate," Electrox continued.

Ye Qi'an nodded, his gaze fixed on the design on the paper. He continuously simulated the arrangement of the formation and the flow of energy in his mind. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Elder Yi, how should we choose the energy core?"

Electrolux's voice rang out again: "The choice of energy core depends on your battle armor attributes and combat needs. Generally speaking, you can choose rare materials with high energy storage and release capabilities as the energy core. At the same time, you need to consider the compatibility of the energy core with other parts of the battle armor to ensure that the entire battle armor system can operate stably."

Ye Qi'an repeated the words "high energy storage" in a low voice, lost in thought, his gaze sweeping over the rare metals around him, trying to find materials that met the requirements.

"Elder Yi, do you have any specific material recommendations?" Ye Qi'an asked Electrolux again.

After a moment of contemplation, Electrox said, "The place you went to before was called something like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Didn't you collect a lot of energy essence?"

"Can those really serve as the energy core of the battle armor?" Ye Qi'an asked hesitantly.

Electrolux slowly said, "The energy essence in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is extremely pure. With proper refinement and processing, it has the potential to become a powerful energy core. Moreover, based on your design of the battle armor, I now have a preliminary idea."

Ye Qi'an asked, "Elder Yi, what are your thoughts? Tell me quickly."

Electrolux said unhurriedly, "According to the design, you need to forge six battle armors, and you can absorb at least six soul bones. You can integrate the energy essence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into the soul bones, and then use the soul bones as one of the core components of the battle armor."

"In this way, the special attributes of the soul bone combined with the pure power of the energy essence can not only provide powerful energy support for the battle armor, but also endow the battle armor with unique abilities. At the same time, when setting up an attack amplification formation, the soul bone and the formation can be better integrated to further enhance the power of the battle armor."

"The maximum boost from a set of six-word battle armor might increase the user's strength by several levels, but for a god-level user, the boost would probably be much smaller. Soul bones, on the other hand, improve as the soul master improves. Even at the god-level, the boost still exists. Not to mention, I'm fusing dragon bones. With the fusion of the two, the boost will probably be fixed." Ye Qi'an frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Even if it were fixed, the increase would be unimaginable. Not to mention how powerful you would be if you reached the god level, the power of this fused battle armor alone would be enough to make you stand out among many god-level powerhouses. But don't forget that your strength will never be fixed." Electrox nodded and said.

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly, "Elder Yi, you are right. The Soul Bone Set and Battle Armor are almost the same as divine equipment after fusion, but there is one thing that even divine equipment cannot compare to, and that is that this fused set of equipment can continue to evolve as my strength increases. Although divine equipment is powerful, it is often fixed."

Just then, the design of the left arm armor was completed. Ye Qi'an gently put down his pen: "Elder Yi, could you please review it and see if there are any omissions?"

Electrolux's voice resounded in Ye Qi'an's mental sea: "Hmm, the overall design is quite complete. However, the energy conduction path can be further optimized to ensure that the energy flows more smoothly and efficiently within the battle armor. Also, regarding the selection of materials for the battle armor, although you have tried fusing various metals, you still need to consider its adaptability to different environments. Perhaps you could add some special materials to enhance its stability."

Ye Qi'an listened attentively to Electrolux's advice, picked up the design drawing again, and swiftly slid his pen across the paper, carefully optimizing the energy conduction path according to the suggestions. Every line was carefully considered, striving to ensure that the energy could flow smoothly within the battle armor. Time quietly passed under the tip of his pen, and when he stopped writing, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Mr. Yi, please take another look at the current design," Ye Qi'an asked expectantly.

After a moment of silence, Electrox said, "Indeed, as a one-word battle armor, this design is already perfect. Moreover, you have reserved room for future upgrades when the battle armor and soul bone are fused together, which is truly rare. However, we still cannot be careless during the actual forging process."

"Now it's my turn." Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, his gaze falling on the various metal materials laid out on the forging table, and at the same time, he took out a piece of green-gold metal that exuded a strong life aura.

"Such a large piece of living gold, you really have the heart to part with it," Electrox said with a sigh.

Ye Qi'an looked at the Life Gold in his hand, a determined glint in his eyes: "This sacrifice is worthwhile to forge the perfect left arm armor."

With great care, Ye Qi'an placed the Life Gold on the forging table, alongside other metal materials. After adjusting the temperature of the flame, he once again focused intently on the forging process.

Flames licked the metal, and the unique life force of the living metal mingled with the energy of other metals. Ye Qi'an's spirit forging hammer fell rhythmically, each strike seemingly giving the metal a new life.

As the hammering continued, the metal's shape gradually changed, becoming increasingly perfectly integrated. Ye Qi'an forged while simultaneously sensing the energy fluctuations within the metal, constantly adjusting his strength and rhythm. During this process, the design blueprints for his left arm armor continuously appeared in his mind, imagining what the completed armor would look like. He knew that every detail was extremely important and allowed no room for carelessness.

After a long time, the metal was finally fused. Ye Qi'an stopped what he was doing and waited for the metal to cool down. His heart was pounding faster as he looked forward to the result of the fusion.

After the metal cooled, Ye Qian couldn't wait to pick it up and examine it closely. He nodded in satisfaction: "The hardness, toughness, life force, and degree of integration have all reached the ideal state for a spirit alloy. The next step is to carve an array on it. Blade of Guardianship of Living Beings—Out!"

A dazzling emerald light appeared on Ye Qi'an's forehead, and a rich life force instantly emanated from it. Not only that, the Eye of Annihilation on his forehead also slowly cracked open, and a emerald light flashed, and the Blade of Life Watch shot out and appeared in his hand.

"Boy, the Blade of the Living Beings may not be able to inscribe a magic circle on this metal. You need to be more careful." Electrox's voice rang out again, tinged with seriousness.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, looking at the Life Guardian Blade in his hand that radiated a rich life force, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Electrox slowly said, "The metal formed by the fusion of the Spiritual Elements is extremely special, with both high hardness and energy resistance. The Spiritual Guardian Blade is somewhat unable to keep up with the strength of this metal. If we forcibly inscribe arrays on it, it may damage the internal structure of the metal, causing all our previous efforts to be in vain."

"Since the strength isn't enough, I'll make up for it with quality." Ye Qi'an said, taking out a piece of life gold of considerable size from his soul tool.

As Ye Qi'an held the Blade of Life Watch, it pressed tightly against the piece of Life Gold. Suddenly, a strange scene appeared—beams of emerald light emanated from the Blade of Life Watch, and the piece of Life Gold seemed to be devoured by it, gradually merging into the Blade of Life Watch and becoming a part of it.

The original Blade of the Guardian of Life was only the size of a carving knife, but with the incorporation of this piece of metal, it gradually transformed into a longsword. With a thought, the Blade of the Guardian of Life flew back into Ye Qi'an's hand.

"Isn't this enough, Sword of Guardian of Life!" Ye Qi'an smiled slightly as he felt the powerful life force emanating from the Sword of Guardian of Life.
