Black Lotus Battle Armor (Third Update-Please Keep Reading!)

Void Gold Venerable did not join the battle. He stood to one side, his gaze locked on Venerable Yu Qing, ready to strike at any moment.

Venerable Yu Qing fought as she retreated, but Great Axe Venerable's attacks were like a raging storm, giving her no chance to break free.

After thirty moves, Venerable Yu Qing had already lost 12% of her divine body.

Her expression grew increasingly grim.

In a one-on-one fight, she had never been a match for Great Axe Venerable. What was more, Void Gold Venerable was watching her like a tiger from the side.

"Giant Axe, don't push us too far!"

Venerable Yu Qing gritted her teeth. The silver light on her spear surged, transforming into a silver-white dragon that bared its claws and fangs as it lunged at Great Axe Venerable.

Giant Axe Venerable snorted coldly. Black light blazed from his enormous axe, and with one swing, he cleaved the silver dragon in two.

At the same time, Void Gold Venerable made his move.

He raised a hand and tapped the void. A golden ray silently shot toward Venerable Yu Qing.

Venerable Yu Qing could not dodge in time. The golden light struck her right shoulder, blasting a bowl-sized bloody hole through it.

"You...!"

Venerable Yu Qing's eyes nearly split with rage. The damage to her divine body had already exceeded 20%.

"I'll remember today's grudge!"

After spitting out that threat through gritted teeth, she transformed into a silver streak and shot toward the secret realm entrance.

"Trying to run?"

Giant Axe Venerable took a step forward and gave chase.

But Venerable Yu Qing was, after all, a Top Universe Overlord. Even after taking another axe strike from Great Axe Venerable and suffering 35% damage to her divine body, she finally escaped the Black Heaven Secret Realm.

Giant Axe Venerable stood at the secret realm entrance, watching Venerable Yu Qing vanish into the void without continuing the pursuit.

"Black Sky Lord, are you willing to join the Hong Alliance?"

Giant Axe Venerable asked Black Sky Overlord. Clearly, he did not yet know that Black Sky Overlord had already acknowledged Fang Yan as her master.

Black Sky Overlord's giant lotus slowly opened, revealing the slender figure at its center.

Her face was pale as paper. Cracks in her divine body stretched from her cheeks all the way down her neck, a horrifying sight to behold.

"Kill Yu Qing, and I'll join!"

Giant Axe Venerable nodded and turned his gaze toward Void Gold.

In the early days of the Primordial Universe, a Universe Lord was still very much worth recruiting for the Human Race.

While the Human Race's upper echelon discussed the matter, Fang Yan settled down in the Black Heaven Secret Realm.

"Big Sister Overlord, how are your injuries?"

Fang Yan flew over to the giant lotus and asked with concern.

Black Sky Overlord opened her eyes and looked at him.

Within those deep eyes, dark as black holes, lay emotions so complex they defied description.

"My name is Hei Lian."

Her voice remained cool and detached, but her tone had softened considerably from before.

"Thank you for your concern, Master."

The word "Master" made Fang Yan shudder all over. She was a Universe Lord, after all.

"I feel awkward hearing you call me Master. Just call me Fang Yan."

(Little Fox Fairy hereby expressed her dissatisfaction ٩(๑^o^๑)۶)

Black Sky Overlord fell silent for a moment. Then the corners of her lips rose slightly, revealing an exceedingly faint smile.

"Alright, Fang Yan."

Black Sky Overlord raised her hand and lightly tapped the void with her fingertip.

The petals of the giant lotus began to fall away, one after another flying toward Fang Yan's human body.

As the petals flew, they continuously shrank, transformed, and reassembled. In the end, they became black armor plates that fitted themselves over Fang Yan's body.

Breastplate, shoulder guards, arm guards, leg guards, combat boots...

The armor plates joined together without the slightest gap, wrapping Fang Yan's entire human body within them.

The final helmet locked onto Fang Yan's head. Its visor descended, leaving only his eyes exposed.

A suit of pitch-black battle armor, threaded with flowing golden patterns, had officially taken shape.

Black Lotus Battle Armor.

Fang Yan lowered his head and looked at his body, feeling the vast power surging from the battle armor.

The Black Lotus Battle Armor's trait was to merge its wearer's base combat power with Black Sky Overlord's at 100%.

In other words, once Black Sky Overlord recovered the combat power of a Universe Lord, Fang Yan would also gain Universe Lord combat power while wearing the Black Lotus Battle Armor.

But if Fang Yan really went head-to-head with a Universe Lord like that, things would get interesting.

The Black Lotus Battle Armor was not immune to soul attacks...

"This..."

Fang Yan clenched his fist, feeling the surging power in his palm. A trace of disbelief flashed through his eyes.

"Too strong."

Black Sky Overlord's voice sounded in his mind, carrying a hint of exhaustion.

"Try it out first. This body of yours is too fragile. Accommodating it consumes a great deal of my mental energy."

"With a 100% combat power fusion, I can currently maintain it for only one hour. After that, it will gradually weaken."

Fang Yan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

"That's enough."

He raised his head and looked toward the entrance of the Black Heaven Secret Realm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The battle at the Black Heaven Secret Realm had come to an end. When word spread back, the upper ranks of the entire Human Race were shaken.

This was the first time a Universe Lord from another race had truly joined the Hong Alliance.

Its significance was extraordinary, and the Human Race offered the greatest possible sincerity and courtesy.

Origin made the decision on the spot, setting the promises to Black Sky Lord.

First, the Black Heaven Secret Realm would henceforth belong to her.

Second, they would help her kill Venerable Yu Qing.

Third, they would bestow an ordinary supreme treasure upon her.

Fourth, they would revive her Immortal clansmen.

Naturally, Black Sky Lord would also have to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.

In addition, Black Sky Lord had to leave behind an inheritance for the Human Race and personally forge a Black Heaven Chaos Stele.

In the years to come, she would also need to undertake part of the task of reviving Human Race experts.

Inside Void Gold Venerable's palace-type supreme treasure, a massive star map was spread out.

Every key point within the Rainclear Race's territory was marked on the map. At its very core, a purple planet slowly rotated.

Yuqing Star.

The Rainclear Race's ancestral land, and also Venerable Yu Qing's lair.

"Three days from now, Venerable Yu Qing will leave her lair and head to the Northern Border Starfield to deal with an important matter. My teacher and I will ambush her along the way and catch her off guard."

Void Gold Venerable drew a dotted line across the star map, marking Venerable Yu Qing's route.

"My teacher will launch a frontal assault, while I restrain her from the side. Working together, we can suppress her divine body below 20% within thirty moves."

"Then Black Sky will strike and kill her personally!"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Fang Yan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Understood."

Three days later, at the edge of the Northern Border Starfield.

Fang Yan's human body stood in the void, clad in the Black Lotus Battle Armor. Even the space around him was faintly twisting.

Fang Yan clenched his fist, feeling the world-destroying power surging in his palm.

"Killing a Top Universe Overlord... Just thinking about it gets me excited. This is even more badass than Luo Feng at the World Lord stage!"

Hei Lian sensed Fang Yan's heartbeat and softly said one thing.

"Be careful."

The corners of Fang Yan's lips lifted slightly. He said nothing, merely looking toward the dark void in the distant Xingkong.

Giant Axe Venerable and Void Gold Venerable had already laid their ambush.

Now, all that remained was to wait for Venerable Yu Qing to walk into the trap.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, a silver-white light appeared in the distant Xingkong.
