"What?"
The increasingly brilliant sword light flashed across True Monarch Chengyu's gemlike divine eyes, making him widen them.
Because of the Ancestral Dragon Scale, the Trial Ancestral Spirit had regained some of his lost wisdom and spirituality.
Therefore, when True Monarch Chengyu saw that An Jing was still alive, he was not particularly surprised. In his newly elevated wisdom, a trial-taker who could make the Ancestral Dragon Scale further augment his strength to deal with him ought to possess such power.
It would have been unreasonable if the Heaven-Turning Seal had killed him with a single, easy strike.
But why...
Why hadn't this trial-taker merely escaped injury... but grown even stronger than before?!
"This is unreasonable!"
Seething with anger at being challenged and at his own misjudgment, the True Lord roared. The Heaven-Turning Seal spun up into the air, then came crashing down on An Jing once more!
It bore the might of heaven and earth, like Mount Buzhou collapsing! The divine seal descended, and the air was instantly swept away. Beneath its shadow, the earth silently cracked and sank!
But at that very moment, An Jing unleashed his Primordial Spirit Consciousness and Martial Dao will—in other words, his already sublimated Law-Manifesting Divine Intent—with nothing held back!
Boom!
The dark, reddish Dragon Scale Armor around him seemed to come alive. Its scales fused completely with his flesh and bones, and with every beat of his heart, scarlet-gold divine light surged through the gaps between them.
The first Divine Treasury: his whole body flawless, his vital essence undiminished—perfect!
The peerless Taishi Primordial Sha transformed within his body into surging Blood Fiend, churning like lava and nurturing boundless power.
The second Divine Treasury: his qi circulating without obstruction, his vital energy inexhaustible—perfect!
The Array Realm had long since become a Grotto-Heaven. In
