Chapter 654 (2/2)

“They didn’t really join forces.” Jacob smiled coldly as he said, “The two top notch experts formed an alliance for the evil god summoning ritual. However, this was just a front, as they are actually divided. They wish to control our six great clans through their actions, but we can take this opportunity to take advantage of them.

“They’ve also depleted a lot of their power in the process of creating our will and physical bodies. But this is a good deal for us.”

He then took out the Panwu Heavenly Raiment from behind him.

The Panwu Heavenly Raiment had regained its luster and the power it now contained was even greater than before. It shone with a colorful glow.

However, the Divine Armor’s will was nowhere to be seen. This allowed for the Panwu Heavenly Raiment to be usable by humans now.

Jacob spoke enthusiastically, “The Panwu Heavenly Raiment has been restored by the Gold Mage King and he has also killed the will within it. It’s now even more powerful than it was before. However, its power is overwhelming and one wouldn’t be able to control it single-handedly. They thought that we would fight over this Divine Armor, but they didn’t expect that our six great clans are now as one, helping each other out. Our rapport is something unexpected for them.”

The Fervent Dragon Clan’s head also grinned, “Since they’ve sent us the Panwu Heavenly Raiment, the six of us can now refine it together and thereby become even stronger.”

Although the Panwu Heavenly Raiment was not as good as the Hell’s White Bone Armor, it had been created after the Mountainous Sea Dynasty had devoted all their efforts for it. The power contained within the Divine Armor was not to be underestimated and it could cover up for the loss of, or even surpass the damage that the loss of the Gates of Heaven had brought them.

The Illusory Clan’s head said, “These aren’t the only benefits. The Black Mage King has helped in reforging our bodies by using black magic. Due to this, we’re now able to secretly comprehend the profoundness of black magic, helping us forge our conjured physiques.

“Do they think that we’re unaware? The diabolic energy has endless power and it is the greatest example one could try to imitate when condensing the martial will. As long as we can comprehend a thing or two from the black magic, we’ll have greater chances in striving for the second tier of the Divine level.”

Jacob smiled. “Excellent, excellent, excellent. Firstly, we’ll go into seclusion for three days to refine this Panwu Heavenly Raiment, in order to fully stimulate its power. We’ll then try to study the profoundness of black magic and then attend the gathering Bai Di has organized for the formation of the alliance three days from now.

“Hmph, after we’ve completely digested all these resources, we’ll join forces to deal with that Fang Xingjian.”

“That’s right, my mind won’t be at peace if I don’t get rid of that b*stard.”

With that, Jacob grabbed the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s helmet. “The Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s power is tremendous and we won’t be able to keep it under control single-handedly.

“Let’s divide the parts, so each of us will control the power of a different part and then assemble to completely unleash the prowess of the Panwu Heavenly Raiment.

“I’ll take the head!”

He grabbed with his hand, holding the Panwu Heavenly Raiment’s helmet in his palm.

“I’ll take the body.”

“I’ll take both arms.”

“I’ll take the right leg.”

“I’ll take the left leg.”

…

Three days later, Ou Bai looked at Shan He with some degree of perplexity as they stood at the entrance of the Tianmen Clan. His gaze swept toward the young man next to him and he asked, “Young Clan Head, this time around, we’re dealing with the alliance of the seven great clans. This matter is of great severity and people who aren’t involved shouldn’t be brought here.”

Shan He frowned and said, “This is a friend I’ve made while travelling to gain experience and to train myself. I trust him with my life. With him around, I’ll be at ease.”

Ou Bai looked at Fang Xingjian, who had slightly altered his appearance. He then smiled coldly and said, “Young man, this gathering is between our seven great clans. Outsiders who join will just invite ridicule upon themselves.”
