Elder Xuan let out an angry roar. Though he still had not activated his Martial Soul Avatar, the Soul Power within him suddenly burst forth.
Moo—
A deep, resonant sound like the bellow of an ox echoed through heaven and earth, briefly drowning out the rolling thunder.
The brilliant ochre radiance no longer spread boundlessly. Instead, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it surged madly toward Elder Xuan's body, compressing and condensing.
A trace of surprise flashed through Di Tian's enormous golden dragon eyes.
He could clearly sense that the energy radiating from Xuan Zi's body was undergoing a fundamental transformation. A metamorphosis from the intangible to the tangible, from dispersion to condensation, was rapidly taking shape.
"Condense!"
Elder Xuan's beard and hair flared as he barked out the command.
In an instant, that vast and majestic ochre Soul Power was no longer merely an aura or mist. It solidified and took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A heavy, solid suit of armor, emanating the unshakable aura of an ancient boulder, appeared out of nowhere around Elder Xuan!
The armor covered his shoulders, chest, arms, and legs. Its joints were formed with smooth yet rugged edges, while its surface was covered in profound, archaic patterns, as though it bore the power of the earth itself.
Ochre light flowed across the armor's surface. Every flicker of its radiance stirred the pulse of the earth below, and Shrek City seemed to become a little more stable the instant the armor appeared!
Even more miraculous was the faintly visible design upon Elder Xuan's chestplate.
It was a true dragon-shaped design, resembling an ox yet not an ox—a Taotie image that looked as though it would burst out from Elder Xuan's chestplate the very next moment!
