Chapter 1614 The Origin of the Soul Armor!
Lu Li's pupils contracted sharply, and his body, which was prepared, reacted instantly.
He then used his legs to push off, cracking the brick floor as he retreated to dodge.
However, the liquid-like metallic substance had a strange property and moved even faster!
Before Lu Li could create distance, he forcibly ignored the distance between them.
It was as if a teleportation ability like [Spirit Flash] had been used, instantly affecting Lu Li.
"Worthy!"
Lu Li felt his head buzzing.
The subconscious defensive thought almost reflexively brought the Blood Sea Devouring Demon Divine Power to its limit!
Because in his current state, only by doing this can he maximize his chances of survival.
In an instant, Evelina and the others around them felt their bodies tighten, and even their breathing became difficult.
They watched in horror as dark green demonic energy seeped from their skin and converged on the figure desperately trying to dodge.
Fear strikes, will freezes.
It's as if even the right to live has been cruelly taken away!
Only one thought remained in my blank mind—
dying!
Fortunately, the whole process didn't last long, only a few moments.
Lu Li quickly realized that the liquid metal did not seem to have any intention of harming him. It simply merged with the armor on its own, which immediately reduced the activation level of the Blood Sea Devouring Demon.
The oppressive atmosphere suddenly disappeared, allowing Evelina and the others to breathe a sigh of relief and kneel down.
Gerargon is in the worst condition.
He was now lying sprawled on the ground, looking just like a fish that had been thrown ashore, his mouth wide open, panting heavily.
Babayak's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself as if he were dumbfounded:
"Was that Lord Li Yun's true strength just now...? How terrifying..."
"Are you alright?" Evelina asked with concern, clutching her heaving chest as she watched the liquid metal disappear into Lu Li's armor.
"Uh, it's nothing, I just overreacted..." Lu Li scratched his cheek, his voice apologetic.
He was indeed being overly cautious.
Although he could tell from the strange look on the other party's face that the other party wouldn't make things difficult for him.
However, Lu Li still took a cautious approach, considering the worst possible outcome in everything he did, and dealt with the situation with a defensive mindset.
As a result, things have suddenly turned into this mess.
"I can't tell exactly what this liquid metal is, but it seems to want to fuse with my armor?"
As Lu Li spoke, he took off his armor.
This is the Blood Armor, a loot he seized from three Kro tribesmen during a raiding game in the Gray Zone.
Epic quality has a feature that accumulates bloodlust.
In short, the more targets you kill while wearing this armor, and the stronger the opponents you face, the more intense the bloodlust and killing intent will accumulate on the armor.
This, in turn, benefits the wearer, providing a greater attribute boost.
It also includes minor features such as slightly reduced stamina consumption, simple hostility assessment, and autonomous protection.
It wasn't exactly a lifeline, but it was certainly a welcome addition.
Therefore, after obtaining this armor, Lu Li has been wearing it ever since.
Using some simple methods to conceal its features, it wouldn't be immediately recognizable as the Blood Armor of the Kro tribe.
And now,
He seemed to have skipped even the simplest means of concealment.
"Is this a fusion evolution?"
Lu Li looked at the Blood Armor that he had placed on the ground, whose shape was constantly changing, and exclaimed in surprise.
Originally just a half-body armor that could only cover the upper body, it has now 'grown' arms and legs thanks to the modification with liquid metal.
They even added a steel helmet that could completely cover the head.
The overall look was becoming increasingly familiar, causing Lu Li to gradually furrow his brows.
This full suit of armor...
Why does it look so much like his "public bus" professional attire?
When intricate patterns and obscure inscriptions began to appear on the surface of the armor, Lu Li finally confirmed it.
That's his Soul Armor design!
Aside from its crimson color, unlike the Soul Armor which was entirely black and shrouded in mist,
The rest of the details are almost identical!
What's the situation?
Was it because that strange face had previously used its 'fairness' authority to learn that Lu Li had once possessed a set of such professional equipment, so it specially modified the Blood Armor into this design?
Is that so thoughtful?
What is He after?!
Is it just to mock Lu Li's current state of being penniless?
They're going a bit too far just to have fun, aren't they?
"It's unlikely that gods would be so bored... Even a mindless 'divine remnant' wouldn't waste its limited power on such a useless thing..."
"Hmm... the weird face and Hansel used to be adversaries..."
"The grotesque face once used the authority of 'restraint' to seize the 'seed' of [Soul Devouring]..."
"And then, combined with the content of the murals at the entrance of the ruins and in the underground plaza..."
"So that's it!"
Lu Li understood.
When he first arrived at the entrance, he was puzzled as to how his Soul Armor had ended up on the murals of the divine ruins.
Moreover, they are also fighting against the chain-like Eternal Night and the hideous monster Abhoth.
Now he understands completely.
This soul armor shouldn't have belonged to Eternal Night.
Its true form may be some rare creature that looks like armor!
It is loyal to the face of light, the progenitor of the Seven Saints, and has devoted itself to the battle against the Eternal Night and Abhoth.
And at that time, through the power of 'restraint', a portion of the 'seed' of [Soul Devouring] was preserved.
However, the final outcome was not satisfactory.
The armored creature was defeated in that battle and was forced to have its soul devoured by the Eternal Night, which is how it became the Soul Armor.
so now,
The liquid metal that merged with the Blood Armor is very likely the creature's true form!
Or rather, corpses!
"Calling himself a divine remnant... I always thought he referred to the grotesque faces pieced together from the remaining twisted flesh, but I never imagined it was those metal components."
"No wonder the tomb of a god who wields sacred authority would appear in the endless forest on the outskirts of the Demon Realm..."
"Hiss... If one day I can reclaim the Soul Armor, does that mean I can use Bridge Master's power to resurrect this fallen god?"
"Just like when Lin Qinyue's soul was transferred into Lin Qinfeng's body?"
Lu Li's thoughts inevitably wandered again.
But then he thought of a very serious problem.
That rare, armored creature was clearly not a demon.
Therefore, there is no problem in wielding the authority of 'loyalty' related to the sacred.
But Babayak is a demon!
Although it was just a low-level monster called Goberin, it was still a real monster.
To grant a monster the authority of 'loyalty' related to holiness...
This is like pouring cold water into a pot of boiling oil!
Is there really no problem?
