I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian hovered at an altitude of ten thousand meters, looking down at the clouds that he had just cleaved open with a single stroke.

Golden sunlight, like a giant pillar of light, shone on Tianyun City, giving this steel behemoth a glorious halo.

Shen Tian stroked the hilt of the Divine Punishment Battle Blade, feeling the deep, boundless fluctuations within it.

Then, with a thought, the [Black Dragon Nano Armor] quickly attached itself to Shen Tian's body.

After taking the hit from Yuan Sha in the Black Abyss Rift, this S-class Black Dragon Nano Armor was in a semi-destroyed state, with the armor on the left arm completely shattered and some of the nanostructures losing their activity.

Now that we've already flown here, we might as well upgrade our battle armor as well.

Shen Tian pondered in his heart.

Upgrading a top-tier Dao soldier below would cause too much commotion and could easily harm innocent people. This high altitude of ten thousand meters is actually the best forging ground.

He opened his palm, and his mental energy spread to the Zhen Tian Tower below, retrieving a bag of dark gold fragments.

This is the remains of Yuan Sha's armor, its material containing special metals from the endless world and the power of the abyss.

Three inches between Shen Tian's brows, a cluster of golden spiritual fire burned intensely, enveloping him.

At the same time, give instructions in your mind.

"System, consume kill points to directly upgrade the Black Dragon Nano Armor to a top-grade Dao Weapon."

Shen Tian issued the command in his mind.

[Ding! 250,000 kill points are required.]

[Confirm?]

Two hundred and fifty thousand. Including the one hundred and fifty thousand from earlier, more than half of the seven hundred thousand or so kill points I earned today have been gone.

"confirm."

boom!

Two hundred and fifty thousand kill points evaporated instantly.

The abyssal material, which could withstand even seventh-tier attacks, was rapidly melted into a mass of dark golden liquid metal under the tempering of the spiritual fire empowered by the system.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining Black Dragon Nano Armor on Shen Tian's body shed itself as if it were alive, transforming into a pure black liquid sphere that collided violently with the dark gold liquid in mid-air.

Two completely different materials were forcibly kneaded and recombined under the vast power of the system.

At the very moment the fusion began.

Above Tianyun City, the clouds that had been cleaved apart by the Divine Punishment Blade gathered again in an even more violent manner.

This time, it wasn't just ordinary dark clouds.

The sky, spanning a radius of ten kilometers, was stained dark red.

Deep within the clouds, thick, bucket-like crimson lightning bolts, like raging dragons, roamed wildly through the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

A terrifying, destructive pressure, as substantial as a mountain, weighed heavily on the hearts of every martial artist in Tianyun City.

Inside the Lord's office.

Lu Changming's previously restrained internal energy erupted once again.

"What happened? Wasn't the tribulation lightning already over?"

Lu Changming's voice echoed in the spacious office.

In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen a lightning tribulation occur twice!

The destructive power contained within the dark red lightning made even a seventh-tier expert like him feel a chill.

"What on earth is that kid up there doing?"

Lu Changming was only surprised, not too worried.

The more lightning tribulations Shen Tian experiences, the stronger his future combat power will be.

Shen Tian's entire attention was focused on the frantically writhing metal sphere in front of him.

Dark gold and pure black colors intertwine on the surface of the sphere, forming a series of complex and mysterious microscopic phenomena.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a crimson lightning bolt, over fifty meters in diameter, crashed down from the center of the cloud vortex like a cascading waterfall of lava, completely engulfing Shen Tian and the metal sphere.

The high temperature instantly sucked away the surrounding air.

Shen Tian did not dodge. Under the infinite regeneration effect of the [Undying God-Demon Body], he allowed the violent power of the heavenly tribulation to wash over his physical body.

Amidst the lightning, the metallic sphere greedily devoured the fundamental laws within the crimson lightning, much like a sponge absorbing water.

The originally raging lightning power, under the system's intervention, was transformed into the best fuel for tempering the battle armor.

The crimson lightning bolt lasted for a full ten seconds before gradually dissipating.

The dark red clouds in the sky seemed to have exhausted all their strength, quickly receding to reveal a dazzling starry sky and bright moonlight once more.

Shen Tian hovered in mid-air, with a brand-new suit of armor floating in front of him.

It is no longer the pure black, tight-fitting combat suit of the past, but a set of dark gold, streamlined heavy armor covering the entire body.

The armor was covered with a structure resembling dragon scales, and each scale edge was shimmering with a crimson halo of lightning.

On his chest, a core formed from abyssal dark gold and the essence of heavenly tribulation beats slowly like a heart, radiating a heart-pounding energy.

Shen Tian's thoughts stirred slightly.

The dark gold armor instantly transformed into countless nanoparticles, like a swarm of bees returning to their nest, hovering above Shen Tian's fingertips as if they had come to life.

Under Shen Tian's will, his body was covered with a perfect layer of dark gold armor.

Heavy, yet perfectly fitting his body, as if it were a second skin he was born with.

He summoned the system panel to view this top-grade Dao weapon, which had been crafted at great expense.

【Name: Black Dragon Demon Armor】

[Rank: Top-Grade Dao Weapon]

【Materials: Original materials + Abyss Royal Dark Gold + Heavenly Tribulation Origin】

【All-Encompassing Mimicry: Normally it can conceal itself within the host's body or disguise itself as any form of clothing. With a thought, it can quickly cover the entire body, forming a fully enclosed armor.】

[Undying Self-Healing: After the armor is damaged, it can absorb all surrounding free energy (flesh and blood, the power of heaven and earth, martial artist's aura) to instantly repair its own structure.]

[Absolute Barrier: Increases the armor's base physical and energy defense stats by 1000%. The armor's surface is imbued with an abyssal aura, capable of generating abyssal pressure.]

[Boundless Internal Circulation: The armor's interior forms a self-contained space, providing an unlimited supply of oxygen and energy. It automatically isolates and purifies all toxins, curses, and toxic fumes. The host can survive permanently in the deep sea, in a vacuum, or in highly polluted areas.]

Shen Tian looked at the data on the panel and clenched his fists tightly.

The boundless internal circulation means that Shen Tian will be completely immune to the erosion of the gray fog from now on.

Shen Tian already possessed the Spiritual Flame, so this effect was of little use to him.

At most, during battle, one doesn't need to be distracted by burning the fire of the spirit.

Shen Tian, ​​however, saw the value behind it.

【Boundless Inner Circulation】is likely an effect of Abyss Dark Gold within the Warframe.

In the future, when Shen Tian's demon-suppressing army wants to conquer the Gray Mist region, the effect of [Boundless Inner Circulation] will be of paramount importance.

The number of kills in the Gray Fog region is an astronomical figure, far exceeding the number in the occupied areas!

Shen Tian gave it a try.

The air filtration system inside the armor activated instantly, converting the thin oxygen in the stratosphere into the purest energy flow, filling his lungs.
