Chapter 360 - Ternary Sword Array (1/2)

There were only a few factions that had Transcendent Stage masters, including the Tribunal Council, the Thunder Beast Clan, the Temple of War, and so on.

Someone had planted two traces of Celestial Chi for tracking in the Purple Demon Armor. Their intention was clear – to locate whoever had traded for this Purple Demon Armor, then kill them to steal it back. Or did they have another plan?

Ye Chen channeled his Celestial Chi. Wisps of Celestial Chi enveloped the two traces of Celestial Chi that were planted on the Purple Demon Armor through some secret technique. Then, he made his Celestial Chi devour them gradually.

Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi was unique and any Celestial Chi outside of their host body could not contend against him.

After a moment, the hidden Celestial Chi upon the two components of the Purple Demon Armor were fully dispelled.

Ye Chen had an idea. He placed a strand of Celestial Chi on the Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor leg greaves, then handed it to Zi Lin.

“Transaction complete.” Ye Chen looked at Zi Lin.

“Nice doing business with you!” Zi Lin was overjoyed. This single transaction had profited the Spirit Artifact Council immensely. “The two Tier Nine spirit artifacts are almost ready. Soon, I’ll get the blacksmiths of the Spirit Artifact Council to brand them with the Sword Array Runic Seal.”

“I have another spirit artifact with me. Mark all three of these spirit artifacts with the same Sword Array Runic Seal,” Ye Chen said.

“No problem.” Zi Lin nodded. “I’ll finish up my business.”

“As you wish, Elder Zi Lin.” Ye Chen nodded.

Zi Lin promptly picked up the leg greaves of the Purple Demon Armor and left.

After watching Zi Lin leave, Ye Chen cut open his right hand and dripped two drops of blood onto the two components of the Purple Demon Armor. These components finally fused into a full suit of Purple Demon Armor. Four of them were Tier Eight and three Tier Nine. With a flick of Ye Chen’s thoughts, the Purple Demon Armor was summoned and he was wholly encased in the Purple Demon Armor’s protection. The armor shimmered magnificently, arming Ye Chen to the teeth. The connecting joints between each component were seamless – not a drop of water could pass.

The size of the Purple Demon Armor could be adjusted according to one’s build. Each area of the armor was carved with a mysterious runic seal.

“These runic seals are Spirit Runic Seals invented by the Purple Eye Clan. Other than them, no one else could replicate those.” Master Lion clicked his tongue admiringly. “This is just a Tier Eight, Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor. If it’s Earthly Tier or Heavenly Tier, even a single component would turn countless people insane.”

Ye Chen took a few steps and felt no discomfort. The Purple Demon Armor was as light as air and would not obstruct his natural movements at all. As he looked forward, his vision was still clear even though there was protection before his eyes. It was not stifling at all either.

“It truly is the perfect defense!” Ye Chen exclaimed. It was not for nothing that the Purple Demon Armor was highly revered by countless martial artists. With armor like this, even a Tenth Level fighter would dare to provoke a Daemon King! Unless the Daemon King had some superweapon, they would have no way of breaking through the Purple Demon Armor’s defenses!

It was not surprising that each component of the Purple Demon Armor was worth as much as a city.

Ye Chen finally had an additional life-saving trump card. With one thought from him, there was a “whoosh”, and the Purple Demon Armor was withdrawn.

“Master Lion, where did Zi Lin go?” Ye Chen asked.

“He had flown to another camp, doing business with someone else,” Master Lion said. His consciousness had been tracking Zi Lin as he went off.

In the largest tent at the center of the Temple of War’s camp, a few armored individuals were chatting.

“I wonder how Sir Temple Lord is doing on the seventh level of the Soul Pagoda,” one of them said. He was named Shi Long, a grade one Transcendent Stage powerhouse. He was the Grand Supreme Elder of the Temple of War. With the Temple Lord in the Soul Pagoda’s seventh floor, he was the highest-ranked here.

“The Temple Lord must be reaping a harvest during this excursion to the Soul Pagoda’s seventh floor. It’s just whether he can obtain any Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor components,” another elder said.

Shi Long frowned. He had an impulse and checked on the two secret traces of Celestial Chi he had left on the two components of the Tier Eight Purple Demon Armor. He could no longer sense them. What had happened? Could the other party have used some method to wipe away that concealed Celestial Chi?

“D*mn it.” Shi Long was inwardly vexed.

Just then, Zi Lin came flying over, landing at the tent’s entrance. With a disciple of the Temple of War guiding the way, he entered.

“Elder Shi, I’ve returned. Luck was on our side. Here are the leg greaves of the Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor. Please have a look.” Zi Lin beamed and handed the Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor leg greaves to Shi Long. In this trade, Shi Long had used three components of the Tier Eight Purple Demon Armor to exchange for the leg greaves of the Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor. Once the deal was done, Zi Lin would gain a component of a Tier Eight Purple Demon Armor. Of course, he would be beaming.

“It’s the leg greaves of a Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor indeed. Thanks for your hard work, Elder Zi Lin.” Shi Long took the Purple Demon Armor leg greaves from Elder Zi Lin and nodded.
