Hell!

Suyo was forced into the Sea of Consciousness by the Thousand Faces Family.

The moment they entered, unsurprisingly, they fell into the sea with a "plop."

The seawater's erosion struck instantly.

That stinging, burning sensation was more unbearable than any torture in the world.

Suyo was in excruciating pain and could only cry as she desperately swam forward.

She hoped to find a small island so she could come ashore.

If she cannot reach land before her Heart Essence is exhausted, her spirit will be completely swallowed up by the Sea of Consciousness.

In reality, this translates to the body permanently losing consciousness and becoming a vegetable.

Fortunately, people who cry a lot aren't always too unlucky!

Just when her Heart Essence energy was reduced to only one-third, she finally saw a small island.

However, even though the island was right in front of us, it took us a very long time to swim there.

By the time Suyo finally reached the shore, her Heart Essence was almost completely broken.

But thankfully, we finally made it!

Just as Suyo Heart Essence planning to rest and recuperate before properly exploring the island,

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes near the resting place.

Immediately afterwards, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.

Suyo sensed something was wrong and looked over sharply, only to see a swarm of [Consciousness Afterimage]!

The aura emanating from it was at least at the second level!

The Consciousness Afterimage and the Void Beast are of the same origin.

In the Sea of Consciousness, they are Remnant; when they appear in reality and solidify into physical form, they become Void Beast.

Normally, Suyo could easily have wiped out this second-tier trash with a wave of her hand, but unfortunately, her Heart Essence was completely depleted at this moment.

Therefore, the only option is --

Run!!!

Suyo disregarded his image and scrambled to his feet.

However, being unfamiliar with the terrain, her aimless wandering attracted another group of Remnant.

This time, a third-tier being actually appeared among the leading Remnant!

Suyo a bitter cry, and the little pearl immediately fell again.

She ran away crying, and cried as she ran.

Chased by the Remnant, I scrambled and stumbled my way back to the shore...

The girl felt that this time, she might really be very close to death...

And the last vision she saw before she died—

It turned out to be her older brother, now grown up and wearing a fox mask, riding a lone boat through the waves to pick her up.

No, so I...

"Is he already dead?"

"To reunite with my beloved brother in the afterlife..."

As this surreal scene unfolded before his eyes, a strange and unusual thought flashed through Suyo's mind.

"I wonder what's inside the treasure chests in the Sea of Consciousness."

Qiji looked at the location of the treasure chest on the map, preparing to go and investigate.

However, the next second, he saw a small green dot being chased and killed by a group of small black dots right next to his position.

Qiji's lips twitched.

Because he saw a name above the little green dot:

To Suyo.

And there's a health bar below his name, and it's rapidly draining away, looking like he's about to kick the bucket...

He remembered that Suyo was clearly only a second-order being.

Without a sufficiently powerful spirit, if a second-tier Echoer dies in the Sea of Consciousness, wouldn't that be equivalent to truly dying?

So where did this guy get the audacity to come to the Sea of Consciousness with only a second-tier cultivator?

Do you think you're me?

Qiji shook his head, speechless.

Fortunately, the little green dot that Suyo was nearby, and in that direction, there was a treasure chest that he had originally planned to explore.

"You're lucky you ran into me."

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Qiji immediately marked it on the minimap and then turned on auto-pathfinding.

The small boat beneath our feet is riding the wind and waves.

They headed straight for that unfortunate child.

Chapter 84: Qiji Armament in Armor!

Wearing a fox mask, Qiji, riding a small boat, braved the wind and waves, finally arriving just before Suyo died.

Appear.

It really is my older brother!!!

Seeing this surreal scene before him, Suyo was stunned for a moment...

Faced with the Remnant hurtling towards her, she even forgot to dodge.

She was only focused on her brother!

Suyo's decision to give up treatment left Qiji dumbfounded.

What are you standing there for, silly child?

Are you out of your mind?!

Having no other choice, Qiji hurriedly reached out and pointed.

The magnificent five-star card [Thousand Faces] instantly appeared at his fingertips.

Qiji flicked his finger!

In an instant, the card spun and flew out.

It cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound, piercing through the Remnant that was closing in on the Suyo in the blink of an eye!

The moment the light shattered, the card had already taken advantage of the momentum to spin around.

At the same time, Qiji also noticed that there was a third-tier lower-level leader among the group of Remnant!

Saving lives is of utmost importance, Qiji dared not delay.

A thought arose--

Unfurl your Armament!

[Thousand Faces] immediately answered his call!

In the instant it flew right up to the Qiji—

Hover! Grow bigger!

When the [Thousand Faces] card grows to the size of a full-length mirror.

The next second, a point of silver light suddenly lit up in the center of the card!

Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating the first ripples.

"Click."

A clear, crisp sound rang out!

Centered on that point of silver light, countless cracks instantly spread across the card's surface.

The entire card shattered instantly into countless shards!

Like flowing Moonlight, a buzzing, vibrating sound!

'Come.'

Qiji looked at [Thousand Faces] and silently called out to him in his heart.

In an instant, the thousands of suspended mirrors suddenly shone with brilliant light!

As if they possessed life, they rushed towards Qiji.

The sounds of air being torn apart blended into a sharp, piercing whistle!

They transformed into shooting stars, each leaving a silver trail!

It shot with unparalleled precision from all directions and from all sorts of tricky angles at every corresponding part of Qiji's body!

Shoulders, elbows, chest, back, waist, legs...

Each lens makes a crisp "ding" sound as it is inserted, fitting perfectly without any resistance.

The lens slightly softened, stretched, and deformed the moment it came into contact with Qiji's body.

Their edges interlocked and connected, as if they had always been a part of his body, and now they had finally returned!

This process was so fast it only took a breath!

As the last tiny lens silently sank into the groove of his left wrist nail, all the lenses snapped together for a fleeting moment.

Immediately, a more restrained yet deeper silver light flowed out from the seams of the seams, like the veins of a living body, instantly coursing through the entire body!

Lineage Investiture!

Armament Manifestation!

--[The Person in the Mirror]!

Armament, all done.

Suyo stared in disbelief at her brother's "transformation" before her eyes.

At this moment, the older brother was covered by a streamlined, silver-white mirror armor.

Under the dim light of the sky in the Sea of Consciousness, a hazy mist reflects off the surface.

This made him appear both real and unreal, like a reflection emerging from a broken kaleidoscope.

Tranquil, sharp, and unpredictable!

Both are Armament with Thousand Faces, yet there are differences...

Compared to her brother's perfect "Person in the Mirror," Suyo felt that the Armament she had used before was nothing short of a bootleg!

To fully Armament in the present world, one must also communicate with the Sea of Consciousness and extract the Heart Essence from it.

However, since Qiji is currently within the Sea of Consciousness, he naturally doesn't need to go through such trouble.

Therefore, not only is the Armament instantaneous, but its strength also far surpasses that of reality!
