It hovered silently above the crystal platform, wrapped in countless chains of secret patterns flowing with faint light.
Its main body was a dark silver armguard worthy of being called a work of art, its lines sharp yet fluid, extending from the forearm to the back of the hand.
The armguard's surface was not a single smooth piece, but countless dark silver plates billions of times finer than a strand of hair, layered upon one another,
fitted together without a gap.
Each plate was naturally imprinted with minute secret patterns resembling galactic vortices. Gazing at them for even a little too long made one feel as though one's soul would be drawn into that endless abyss of patterns.
Yet this was merely its "normal state."
At the center of the back of the armguard's hand was a multifaceted diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a fist, with what seemed to be liquid light slowly circulating inside.
The crystal bore a color that wavered between real and illusory, seemingly present yet also seemingly connected to another dimension.
With his current Eternal True God eyesight, Hu Yanbo could see more than trillions of miniature secret-pattern structures within the core crystal, nested within one another yet operating independently. Together, they formed a complex hub for energy circulation and conversion.
Most striking of all, nine dark silver components, each about a foot long and different in shape, also floated silently in the void above the armguard.
They were:
Three feather-shaped blades with extraordinarily sharp edges;
two spiral spikes with tiny holes at their tips;
two barbed, ring-shaped clasps that could open and close;
and two heavy curved armor plates with energy-absorbing grooves on their surfaces.
These components were made from the same dark silver material, their secret patterns faintly resonating with those on the
