Heavenly Fire Armor

During a fierce battle with Tian Nan, Zhang Xingfeng, Zhang Xingfeng cultivation level was only that of Great Luo Golden Immortal while Tian Nan was Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, managed to fight Zhang Xingfeng Tian Nan a draw thanks to his top-tier offensive artifact— the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. If Zhang Xingfeng had possessed a top-tier defensive artifact, he would have been invincible and could have toyed with Tian Nan however he wanted! It's important to understand that a top-tier defensive artifact is essentially Immortal Undying Body; unless one possesses a top-tier offensive artifact, their opponent is helpless against it.

The second time, in the Demon Realm Beast Valley, Zhang Xingfeng was utterly defeated by Chi Yi, who was only at the early stage of Body Refinement, equivalent to the early stage of Immortal Monarch. In the end, Zhang Xingfeng risked his life and used the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragon technique passed down by Little Dragon! It was like eight Zhang Xingfeng joining forces, using the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation to fuse together, and then using Rou Jin for the final fatal blow, forming the North Star Big Dipper, which finally managed to eliminate Chi Yi, who was only at the early stage of Immortal Monarch!

If they had possessed a top-tier artifact back then, a single Chi Wing wouldn't have been able to break through Zhang Xingfeng's defenses at all. Zhang Xingfeng could have killed him however he wanted!

A top-tier defensive artifact, a source of eternal pain for Zhang Xingfeng!

The Heavy Profound Chisel is a top-tier defensive artifact, but Zhang Xingfeng knew that Lang Feng immortal technique, was too weak in defense. For his brother's sake, Zhang Xingfeng had no choice but to give the Heavy Profound Chisel to Lang Feng!

After reaching the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm, Zhang Xingfeng, relying on the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and risking backlash, used the seventh move— Purple Netherworld —to finally destroy the Hei Yan and obtain the Black Sun Black Sun Divine Armor. However, the threat from the original owner of the Black Sun Divine Armor, the Black Sun Ancestor, forced Zhang Xingfeng to give the Black Sun Divine Armor to Little Dragon. After all, only when Little Dragon's own dragon armor merged with the Black Sun Divine Armor could the Black Sun Divine Armor be reborn, change its aura, and no longer be controlled by the Black Sun Ancestor!

Zhang Xingfeng once possessed both of these top-tier defensive artifacts, but he never used them. Now...

Zhang Xingfeng finally possesses his own top-tier defensive artifact!

This is— the Heavenly Fire Armor!

Looking at the armor engulfed in flames before him, Zhang Xingfeng was overcome with excitement and burst into laughter. "I, Zhang Xingfeng, finally possess a top-tier defensive artifact! Hahahaha! Aside from experts like Immortal Emperor and Immortal Monarch, I don't even need to worry about Immortal Lords anymore. With this top-tier defensive artifact, I'm practically immortal! Only Immortal Emperor and Demon Lords, or Immortal Monarch with top-tier offensive artifacts, can deal with me. However, most of those who possess top-tier artifacts are Immortal Emperor, hahahaha... With this top-tier defensive artifact, I, Zhang Xingfeng, will be invincible from now on! As long as I'm careful not to offend Immortal Emperor, what's there to worry about... Hmm, but it seems I've already offended a Demon Lord!"

At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng remembered the Black Sun Ancestor!

"Headache, headache. That Black Sun Ancestor is already at the mid-stage of Demon Lord. Even with just a mid-level divine artifact, he could probably kill me. What should I do?" Zhang Xingfeng frowned deeply. Mid-stage Demon Lord—what did that mean? Zhang Xingfeng understood perfectly well!

Aside from the dozen or so top-tier figures in both the Immortal and Demon realms who are nearing the Divine Tribulation, the next most prominent is the Black Sun Ancestor. If the Black Sun Ancestor status, he's become a highly sought-after figure, eagerly sought after by various powers!

"Forget it, it seems that the Black Sun Ancestor also thinks I died in this Hall of Illusory Fire God, so he probably won't chase after me anymore." Zhang Xingfeng comforted himself in this way. Although the actual situation was not very accurate, it was not far off.

Zhang Xingfeng removed the Heavenly Fire Armor with both hands, and a drop of his Essence Blood immediately fell onto the Heavenly Fire Armor.

To Zhang Xingfeng's amusement and exasperation, the Heavenly Fire Armor, just like Void Breaker had done before, began to resist his Essence Blood. It seemed that top-tier artifacts were not so easy to subdue, but Zhang Xingfeng did have a way to deal with it.

"Tianyu, Longling, it's your turn now. Take a look at my beloved Heavenly Fire Armor. Didn't the stone tablet say it was a reward? Why won't it accept me as its master?" Using Tianyu and Longling will definitely be effective. As divine artifacts, communication is easy.

After a while, Tianyu replied, "Zhang boy, it's actually quite easy for the Heavenly Fire Armor to recognize its master, but it always has one condition: the master must release fire. Only when the fire level meets its requirements will it absorb that drop of Essence Blood! Zhang..." Tianyu seemed to have something else to say, but he didn't say it. At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng instantly focused all his attention on the Heavenly Fire Armor.

"Fire? My body is currently filled with deep purple heavenly fire. I wonder if the level of the fire is high enough? But the stone tablet says that if I pass through the Heavenly Fire Palace, I can obtain the Heavenly Fire Armor. If I can pass through the Heavenly Fire Palace, I can at least master the deep purple heavenly fire. Could it be that the Deep Purple Skyfire is the requirement for the Heavenly Fire Armor?" Zhang Xingfeng made a judgment in his mind and decided to give it a try.

Zhang Xingfeng pointed slightly with his right hand, and a pale purple flame immediately enveloped the Heavenly Fire Armor. The Heavenly Fire Armor did not react at all, and still blocked the Essence Blood outside.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and the pale purple flame immediately rose a level, turning into a purple flame, but the result remained the same.

"Hmm... It seems that the Heavenly Fire Armor really does require Deep Purple Skyfire, just as I thought." Zhang Xingfeng laughed, and the flames instantly turned into deep purple flames. The Heavenly Fire Armor suddenly lit up and completely absorbed the deep purple Heavenly Fire, along with Zhang Xingfeng's drop of Essence Blood.

An inexplicable connection with the divine artifact was formed, and Zhang Xingfeng could clearly sense the presence of the divine heart within the Heavenly Fire Armor.

"Zhang boy, let me remind you, it's best to use defensive artifacts less when cultivating your physical body. Only by constantly training your body can you improve it faster. Back then, Pangu didn't have a single defensive artifact, and that's how he was able to cultivate to the Six Revolutions Profound Body so quickly." Tianyu was still worried, so he reminded him.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and touched the Heavenly Fire Armor. The Heavenly Fire Armor suddenly lit up and entered Zhang Xingfeng's body, disappearing from sight. "Tianyu, don't worry about this. I don't usually wear the Heavenly Fire Armor. I only use Heavenly Fire Armor when I encounter an opponent I can't defeat."

Tianyu sighed inwardly, saying nothing, but it knew one thing. "Only by fighting those powerful enemies can one better break through physical limitations!"

However, neither Zhang Xingfeng nor Tianyu knew that the arrival of the Heavenly Fire Armor had already led Zhang Xingfeng down a completely different path...

After traversing the corridor, Zhang Xingfeng entered the second Eastern Palace, also known as the Blazing Heavenly Fire Palace.

"Oh my god!" Zhang Xingfeng stared in shock at the crystals scattered on the ground, then burst into wild joy. "Extreme Fire Crystal, the only material needed to refine the Crimson Essence Pill — Extreme Fire Crystal, and it's here..."

Inside the grand hall, which was hundreds of feet long and wide, the Blazing Heavenly Fire engulfed the entire hall. The reason why this Blazing Heavenly Fire was generated was because of the huge layer of Extreme Fire Crystal about half a meter thick on the surface of the hall!

Zhang Xingfeng couldn't imagine where such a huge Extreme Fire Crystal could be found. While it was possible to collect small pieces of Extreme Fire Crystal, how could such a massive, super-huge piece of Extreme Fire Crystal, equivalent to millions of ordinary Extreme Fire Crystal, have come about?

However, Zhang Xingfeng began to have some worries.

"Damn it, I can't possibly take in such a massive Extreme Fire Crystal! Besides, the Blazing Heavenly Fire is beyond my capabilities. Who on earth got their hands on such a huge Extreme Fire Crystal? What a freak!" Zhang Xingfeng said bitterly. He desperately wanted those Extreme Fire Crystal; with them, he could refine the Extreme Fire Crystal Crimson Essence Pill. However, he was only at the Great Accomplishment of the Skyfire Body and lacked the strength to resist the Blazing Heavenly Fire. He wanted to break the massive Extreme Fire Crystal and obtain Extreme Fire Crystal.

At this moment, the drunken old man in the restaurant was already strolling through the starry sky, carrying a wine jar and swaying back and forth. Despite his unsteady gait, his steps were faster than the speed of Star Brilliance. However, the drunken old man was completely unaware of this. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of the drunken old man's mouth.

"Oh, pervert, that's a good name, it certainly suits this old man. But this Extreme Fire Crystal wasn't something I got. I don't have that much energy. Although there are plenty of such huge crystals in that Heavenly Venerable Huode Venerable's domain, I'm too lazy to go there. I just need to unleash the Blazing Heavenly Fire then materialize it. That's enough, hmm... sigh, making me unleash such a low-level Blazing Heavenly Fire, sigh, unleashing this Blazing Heavenly Fire is harder than unleashing divine fire!" The drunken old man muttered to himself, his feet still moving at a leisurely pace.

As they spoke, the drunken old man had already arrived in the Dead Zone, specifically within the Ancient God Forbidden Zone.

The drunken old man opened his hazy eyes, glanced at the Ancient God Forbidden Zone, and chuckled smugly, "Well, this old man is back again! Hehe, I'll make sure those little guys don't get their hands on the divine artifacts, hehe!" Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened, and he threw the wine jar away, yelling, "Oh dear, drinking has caused trouble! Drinking has caused trouble! How did the Divine Descent end so suddenly? I completely forgot about the time while I was drinking! Oh dear, this is really... my wine!"

The old man then remembered that he had thrown the wine jar away. The old man's skill was so powerful that the wine jar was already out of sight with a casual throw. Fortunately, the wine jar had been casually refined by the old man. Although it was not Saint Artifact, it was still a divine artifact and would not break so easily.

The old man could no longer see the wine jar, but suddenly he laughed. His immense, unparalleled Divine Sense —perhaps no longer even worthy of being called Divine Sense —instantly enveloped the entire realms of immortals and demons. Whether it was the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Immortal Realm enjoying intimate moments with his dao companion, or the Demon Lord Tianming, the number one expert of the Demon Realm, cursing his subordinates... none of this escaped the old man's observation. Moreover, those experts felt nothing, not even a hint of premonition. Suddenly, the old man lightning-fast locked onto a wine jar. The jar, which he had casually tossed, had already flown to the Demon Realm. The old man had thrown it with tremendous force. Suddenly, the old man noticed a massive meteorite directly in front of the wine jar.

"Oh dear, my wine!" the old man cried out, and in a flash, he arrived in the Demon Realm from the Dead Zone!

"Boom!"

The old man hugged the wine jar tightly, muttering, "Well, thank goodness, thank goodness, the wine wasn't spilled!" At this moment, the unfortunate meteorite had been smashed by the drunken old man in his eagerness to preserve the wine, but the old man's tattered clothes remained the same, as if a gust of wind could blow them away, as if what he had just smashed was not a meteorite, but a tiny ant.

However, the old man had clearly forgotten that the wine jar, which he had casually refined, was practically a divine artifact. How could the wine possibly spill? But the drunken old man was always intoxicated, so he probably forgot about the divine artifact he had casually refined... However, one cannot expect too much from a drunken old man.

"Extreme Fire Crystal, Extreme Fire Crystal..." Zhang Xingfeng muttered to himself as he stood at the entrance of the Blazing Heavenly Fire Palace. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he stared fiercely at the enormous Extreme Fire Crystal, saying, "Damn it, I'll risk it all! For the sake of making it easier for me, Zhang Xingfeng, to survive in the future, and for the sake of making my Tianxin Sect even stronger, I'll risk it all!"

Zhang Xingfeng fiercely pulled a Ziyuan Pill from the sky, saying painfully, "Well... but I can't just die like this. Ziyuan Pill, I have no choice but to use one. My life is still very important!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng slapped his head and cursed, "Zhang Xingfeng, you really are an idiot! Didn't they say that top-tier defensive artifacts are equivalent to Immortal Undying Body? Isn't the Immortal Undying Body supposed to be able to withstand the Blazing Heavenly Fire? Now I have the Heavenly Fire Armor, and that stone tablet also says that once the Heavenly Fire Armor is infused with Heavenly Fire, its power is even greater than that of an ordinary top-tier defensive artifact. In that case, what am I worried about?"

Zhang Xingfeng had just acquired the Heavenly Fire Armor. Normally, when faced with difficulties, Zhang Xingfeng would only think of the Rou Jin and the Sun -Zhang Xingfeng Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. This habitual way of thinking caused him immediate distress upon discovering the Blazing Heavenly Fire, completely forgetting about the newly acquired Heavenly Fire Armor! Habitual thinking is a dangerous thing!

Zhang Xingfeng carefully took the Ziyuan Pill back from his hand; it was a life at stake! After experiencing that Zero Extreme Blight Qi, Zhang Xingfeng never doubted the efficacy of the Ziyuan Pill again.

Zhang Xingfeng put on the Heavenly Fire Armor with a smile on his face. Deep purple Heavenly Fire instantly filled the entire Heavenly Fire Armor, and flames immediately appeared around the Heavenly Fire Armor. The flames were blue!

"The deep purple heavenly fire, after passing through this Heavenly Fire Armor, has actually transformed into the Blazing Heavenly Fire!" Zhang Xingfeng was dumbfounded!
