The Spirit Energy Revival Plane.
Jianghai City, China, Tulip Villa District.
Inside Villa No. 1.
Jiang Xiaoyu stared at the Snow Mastiff Crystal before her, her pretty face flushed with excitement. Her chance to defy fate and change her destiny had arrived!
"Once I fuse with this Snow Mastiff Crystal, I'll be able to summon the Snow Mastiff Armor. Even if I can't become the strongest across all worlds, I should at least be able to reign over this single universe, right?"
The more Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, the more excited she became. Unable to wait, she ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and sliced her palm.
Squelch!
Blood spurted out, and Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly pressed her hand against the Snow Mastiff Crystal.
Boom!
The Snow Mastiff Crystal instantly turned into a torrent of white energy and surged into Jiang Xiaoyu's body.
Crack... crack!
A series of sharp cracks rang out. Under the impact of the Snow Mastiff Crystal's energy, the bones inside Jiang Xiaoyu's body shattered inch by inch!
Pain!
Unimaginable pain swept through her entire body!
Yet Jiang Xiaoyu clenched her teeth stubbornly, refusing to scream.
She bit down so hard that blood burst from between her teeth, instantly filling her mouth with its metallic taste.
"I... have to become stronger!"
"I'll endure the pain of growing stronger, not the pain of being abducted by the Evil Cult and having my organs ripped out!"
"And definitely not the pain of being trampled by a beast tide!!!"
After a long time, the pain subsided, and Jiang Xiaoyu gradually regained her senses.
By then, Jiang Xiaoyu was drenched in cold sweat, and blood continued to spill from her mouth.
She paid none of it any mind, because she had...
Succeeded!
"Let's test the Snow Mastiff Armor's power."
Eager to try it out, Jiang Xiaoyu clenched her small fist and punched forward.
Boom!
Crack!
Space shattered like a mirror under the sheer force of her blow. Pitch-black spatial turbulence poured out, tearing apart everything around it!
At the same time, a magic array manifested above the villa, attempting to block the power!
The next moment...
Crack, crack!
Under Jiang Xiaoyu's horrified gaze, the defensive magic array shattered with a crash. The entire villa exploded along with it, reduced to a heap of rubble!
Jiang Xiaoyu had already teleported outside before the villa's defensive magic array shattered.
"Gasp!"
Watching her intact villa turn into rubble in an instant, Jiang Xiaoyu sucked in a cold breath. Only one thought remained in her mind.
Utterly terrifying!
She had only thrown a light punch without using much strength at all, yet she had blown up her own villa!
This was no ordinary villa, either. It was a villa built in an age of spirit energy revival, covered entirely by defensive laws capable of withstanding a small beast tide!
Even so, Jiang Xiaoyu had destroyed it with one light punch, and that was nowhere near her limit.
Jiang Xiaoyu was ecstatic. She had transmigrated into this world of spirit energy revival two and a half years ago. Awakening a trash talent like Weak Flame Spray at the start had left her living in fear for those entire two and a half years, terrified that she might one day be abducted by the Evil Cult while walking down the street or die beneath the trampling feet of a beast tide.
Now, everything had changed. She had become the summoner of the Snow Mastiff Armor and no longer had to live in fear. She would wipe out the Evil Cult, smash through the beast tides, and rise to the pinnacle of transcendence!
Thank you, Almighty Heavenly Dao!
Jiang Xiaoyu silently expressed her gratitude.
Boom!
Just then, an earth-shaking explosion resounded into the heavens!
Immediately afterward, an immensely thick pillar of purple energy shot skyward, shattering the sky for thousands of miles!
Boom, boom, boom!
One thunderous explosion after another rang out across Jianghai City.
No, not just Jianghai City...
But across the entire world!
Multicolored pillars of spiritual power erupted like volcanoes from the deepest reaches of the earth, shattering the heavens and illuminating the entire night!
Jiang Xiaoyu's gaze darkened. "The second spiritual energy tide... has erupted!"
The Marvel Omniverse.
Looking at the deserted chat group, Lu Chen shook his head with a chuckle. "Looks like they've all gone off to fuse with their armor crystals. But I can't let you get everything for free!"
With that, Lu Chen entered the chat group's Store.
The Store held a dazzling assortment of specialties from various dimensions.
Zanpakuto from the Death God Plane and Breathing Styles from the Demon Slayer World.
Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength from the Great World of the Saint King, Immortal King Inheritances from the Perfect Great World, and even the weird matter from the Great World of Sacred Ruins that plagued all the myriad worlds!
Some things, such as the power of the four ancient sacred beasts, the Great Dao laws of the Primordial World, and Xiantian Supreme Treasures, tempted even Lu Chen, making him want to possess them.
But when he looked at the prices...
Hundreds of billions, trillions of points!
Too expensive!
Lu Chen wanted to list some items to earn points.
Looking at the pile of specialties from other worlds inside the Ming Realm Dimension, he fell into thought.
"Forget it. I'll spread the armors' power system throughout other universes first. That way, my own strength will benefit from the feedback too."
With that in mind, Lu Chen immediately listed the armors' upgraded forms in the chat group's Store.
That was right. The armor crystals Lu Chen had sent out were only the armors' normal forms. Even with a compatibility rate of one hundred percent, they would only reach the peak of Single-Universe-level, and they were random, too.
Most of the armor crystals Lu Chen had sent out were only Single-Universe-level. Only one was Multiverse-level, and judging by things now, Angel Yan had snatched that Multiverse-level armor crystal.
As for the armors' upgraded forms? Sorry, those weren't included!
Anyone who wanted them would have to pay points!
