The Ultimate Emperor Armor Appears for the First Time

"Impossible!"

Seeing this scene, Zhongli Wu gasped in shock.

This move was called Extreme of Wind, the strongest among his wind-type abilities.

Its power was enough to level an entire mountain.

Such violent wind elements, extinguished so effortlessly—how could this be!

"Emperor Armor! Combine!"

A grand, majestic voice, as if resonating from the entire world, rang out here.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color!

Above the entire Star Luo Empire, winds suddenly surged and clouds churned. The night sky, once filled with countless stars, now bore a fiery red sun.

And atop that sun, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiled imposingly!

Its sharp horns, like ancient jade carvings, emitted a faint golden luster. Its brilliant golden claws were so sharp they seemed ready to tear through the void at any moment.

"Roar!"

A Dragon's Roar resounded across the sky.

This unbelievable scene stunned everyone.

An oppressive aura enveloped the entire Star Luo Imperial Capital. A supreme figure stood tall within the radiance.

The blinding light made it impossible to look directly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would likely already be trembling in fear, barely able to breathe under this pressure.

When everyone opened their eyes again and turned their gaze to Gu Tian, he had already completed his transformation.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the Golden Armor revealed its true form for the first time.

Dragon Head Crown, Leopard Shoulder Lock Armor, Eagle Arm Piercing Clouds, Turtle Chest Bearing Strength, Tiger Waist Binding Power, Qilin Leg Stomping Ground, Flood Dragon Tail Protecting Spine—it looked utterly majestic.

Not only that, but his chest was equipped with an Aurora Shield, and his arms had additional Bracers.

This was the Ultimate Emperor Armor.

As soon as the transformation was complete, a massive Golden Energy Storm surged outward from Gu Tian, sweeping everything around him.

Dark Clouds, who was closest, was directly blown away by this energy.

"What kind of power is this!"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Tian, Zhongli Wu and the others wore grim expressions.

Only one thought filled their minds.

Power!

Unmatched power!

"With strength like this, even if Uncle Dragon and my mother joined forces, they probably couldn't shake him in the slightest!"

Zhongli Wu let out a bitter laugh, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "As expected of one from the Sky Curtain who can rival the Gods—even before fully growing, he possesses such means."

"Such warm light!"

Unlike the members of the Holy Spirit Cult, Giant Hammer Douluo and Xuanji Douluo felt a surge of warmth flowing through their bodies.

Their injuries healed at a visible rate, and even the hidden damage from years of training and combat was repaired.

"How unjust this world is!"

Gazing at this utterly sacred figure, Dark Clouds climbed to his feet. Feeling the light that seemed to annihilate all darkness and evil, his body trembled instinctively.

"Why does a mere Two Rings Soul Grand Master like you possess such terrifying power? Why were you born so dazzling?"

Under the weight of all this despair, he recalled his own past and let out this unwilling roar.

Dark Clouds had once been nothing more than an ordinary Soul Master with a bit of talent. He had loving parents and a childhood sweetheart he had promised to spend his life with.

But because of his Dark Energy, despite doing nothing wrong, he was hunted as an Evil Soul Master, leading to the brutal deaths of his parents and sweetheart.

From then on, Dark Clouds joined the Holy Spirit Cult, becoming a despised Evil Soul Master, all to take revenge on those who claimed to act in heaven's name.

The Holy Spirit Cult became his only refuge.

Gu Tian—or rather, the Heavenly Dao Emperor—said nothing. His dark red visor flickered with a crimson light as he stepped toward Dark Clouds.

"You leave me no choice!"

Watching the Heavenly Dao Emperor approach step by step, a ruthless glint flashed in Dark Clouds' eyes.

His entire aura surged wildly, and a dark power brimming with evil erupted like a geyser.

A massive patch of dark clouds gathered above his head, blotting out the sky as they swept toward the Emperor Armor.

Facing this dark cloud, the Emperor Armor neither dodged nor avoided. Just as it closed within a meter of him—

A flash of golden light streaked by.

The black clouds that blotted out the sky vanished without a trace the next moment, as if they had never existed.

Dark Clouds, who had disappeared from his original position, now revealed himself with a pale face.

Emperor Armor extended his left hand and made a simple grasping motion.

The surrounding Five Elements energy instantly began to converge.

Dark Clouds was immediately controlled from a distance, unable to move a muscle!

Feeling as if his internal organs could be crushed at any moment, Dark Clouds shouted with difficulty, "Cult Master... save me!"

At the same time, the sixth black Soul Ring beneath Dark Clouds suddenly lit up, and his entire body became ethereal.

Sixth Soul Skill—Dark Transformation.

This was also his only defensive soul skill, capable of instantly reducing all physical and soul power attacks by seventy percent for five seconds.

In exchange, during this period, he could not launch any attacks himself.

And what Dark Clouds needed was to use these five seconds to buy time for his comrades to lend a hand.

"Everyone, abandon your current opponents and focus all attacks on that brat!"

Hearing this, Zhongli Wu erupted with his full soul power.

Under his control, the Bone Dragon roared, wrapped in wind energy, and flew swiftly toward Emperor Armor.

Raising a Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master was no easy task.

Not to mention that within the entire Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Clouds ranked among the top ten in strength.

No matter what, they could not let him die so worthless a death.

At the command of Cult Master Zhongli Wu, the other three, suppressing their instinctive fear, all charged toward Emperor Armor's location.

Seeing this, Giant Hammer Douluo originally wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Xuanji Douluo.

"Xuanji, what do you mean by this?" Giant Hammer Douluo, quick-tempered as he was, directly questioned Xuanji Douluo.

"Haven't you noticed?"

Looking at Gu Tian in his Heavenly Dao Emperor state, Xuanji Douluo reminded him, "That's no longer the kid we knew!"

"Those eyes hold no emotional fluctuation, as if he were a supreme God, looking down on all living beings equally."

Hearing this, Giant Hammer Douluo froze on the spot. "You mean to say he might attack us too?"

"That possibility is not out of the question."

Xuanji Douluo let out a self-deprecating laugh. "And do you think, even if we did go over, what use would we be?"

"..." Giant Hammer Douluo was left speechless.

This encounter today had dealt them a heavy blow.

Among the five black-clothed men who had infiltrated, not one was weaker than them.

As for the leader, if they truly faced him, even if the two of them joined forces, they would likely be defeated before long.

The Holy Spirit Cult members were still a step too late.

"What is—"

Before Dark Clouds could finish his sentence, his body suddenly shattered, instantly turning to powder and dissipating into the air, leaving not a single trace behind.

From the start of the battle to its end, though it seemed like a long time, the entire process had only lasted a few breaths.

And thus, the Holy Spirit Cult's Seventh Consecrate, Dark Clouds the Titled Douluo of the Crow, had perished completely!
