Ten years passed in the snap of a finger.
Starlight swirled around the summit of the Star Dragon Tower.
Dressed in white, Nan Feng stood atop the tower with his hands behind his back.
His face looked no different from ten years ago, still handsome and composed. Only deep within his eyes was there something he could not quite put into words.
He slowly raised his right hand.
His fingers spread, and a cluster of golden light quietly appeared in his palm.
With a wave of his hand,
a dazzling golden dragon silhouette shot from Nan Feng's palm.
Its body was long and slender, each scale sharply defined,
as though every scale bore intricate divine patterns of law,
shimmering with an undying radiance from ages past.
This dragon silhouette was his Martial Soul Origin:
the Heavenly Dao Emperor!
Nan Feng looked up at the golden dragon, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Ten years. It's time."
He murmured softly, his tone calm yet carrying the relief of someone who had weathered the passing years.
The next moment,
an even more terrifying surge of divine power erupted from within him!
It swept across the entire Star Dragon Sanctuary.
The Six Star-Phenomenon Cities
and the Star Dragon Tower lit up at once.
Countless stars within the sanctuary trembled.
Then,
the golden dragon silhouette poured down from the heavens like a waterfall flowing backward, disappearing entirely into Nan Feng's body.
Immediately after,
the phantom of a suit of armor slowly formed around him.
The armor gleamed gold from head to toe:
a dragon's body, eagle's arms, tiger's shoulders, mastiff's back, and rhinoceros's legs!
Every inch of its plating seemed forged from the pure power of law.
As the armor grew solid, Nan Feng's aura began to soar wildly!
The Ultimate Emperor Armor.
