Lu Xiaotian's divine sense stirred, and his magic power flowed to the surface of his body. A battle garment, green-white as jade and spotless, floated over him, its aura deep and steady. Lu Xiaotian took out the Earthsplitter Saber and slashed it across the garment, yet not even a mark was left behind.
This battle garment was not a pill-refined magic artifact. Rather, after killing the Island Lord of Bliss Island, he had obtained the secret art "Demon-Entwining Battle Garment" from the Demon-Entwining Protector Great Art cultivated by the Island Lord of Bliss Island.
After obtaining this secret art, Lu Xiaotian had made slight improvements to it with the Taihao Battle Body over the years. After more than forty years of cultivation, using his magic power and Primordial Spirit as the catalysts, he had finally formed this "Taihao Battle Garment." Aside from the Ruyi Battle Armor, Lu Xiaotian now had another layer of protection from the Taihao Battle Garment.
On top of that, he was already a ninth-tier body cultivator. Such defensive power was probably a rarity even among Golden Core cultivators. Of course, Xiang Sicheng's Azure Cauldron Armor, obtained from the Xiang Kingdom's imperial family, had been an exception.
Lu Xiaotian opened his mouth slightly, and a pearl flew out from within. It was the Soul-Battle Origin Pearl he had obtained after fighting that Sand Tyrant in the Black Sky Mountains.
Whenever Lu Xiaotian entered the War Immortal Tower to battle the demon beasts inside, he would swallow Primordial Spirit essences that had already been refined. By relying on them, he challenged ninth-tier demon beasts. Over these several decades, the demon-beast essences he had consumed were beyond counting. Every so often, Lu Xiaotian had to leave the city to hunt Golden Core-level demon beasts and collect their Primordial Spirits.
