Dragon Blooded War God

Jin Ling used the Golden Eyes of Destruction again to push Long Chen back before using his final trump card.

A bright, golden light dazzled everyone!

Long Chen stopped because he saw a suit of armor floating in front of Jin Ling. It was the most extravagant-looking armor that Long Chen had ever seen. It was as if it was made out of gold, but in reality, it was made out of a metal much harder than gold. Dense, golden runes covered the armor, flashing from time to time. The armor was complete with a helmet, breastplate, collar plate, and boots. It was as if a god had descended onto the armor.

A powerful force rippled from the armor that far exceeded Jin Ling’s current strength by several times. Long Chen had a feeling that the armor’s strength was very close to the Heavenly Martial Realm!

If a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator wore the armor, it would most likely double their strength. Unfortunately, Jin Ling was only at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, so he couldn’t use all of the armor’s power. Still, merely putting it on would increase his strength by four to six times!

Treasures could be differentiated into Divine Weapons and Magic Artifacts. The armor was classified as the latter and was one of the strongest treasures of the Gold clan.

“It’s the Golden Emperor Armor!”

“The Gold clan’s patriarch actually gave him that? That’s the symbol of the patriarch himself! To think he would give it to Jin Ling!”

“I never thought they would actually bring it out. Jin Ling will become several times stronger when he equips it. No matter how much of a weasel Long Chen is, he is done for!”

“Jin Ling might actually have a chance to fight against Wu Guangyu, who has taken the inheritance of the Azure Lotus Lord.”

Even those from the noble lineages, who were usually silent, started discussing loudly as if they were in a market.

“Father, the Gold clan’s patriarch gave the Golden Emperor Armor to Jin Ling. Long Chen …”

Bai Lan consoled his daughter. “Don’t worry. Long Chen is still doing fine. He’s not surprised at all. The worst-case scenario is him giving up and losing the battle. I paid him a visit and warned him not to risk his life for the sake of victory.”

“Is that so…”

Suxue calmed down a bit, but she was still worried when she saw Jin Ling don the Golden Emperor Armor. His body shone with dazzling, golden light and his cultivation soared to new heights.

Suxue knew what kind of man Long Chen was, and it was likely that he would risk his life because he would never give up until he reached his goal.

“Father, please pay attention and save Long Chen the moment he’s losing!”

Bai Lan rolled his eyes and teased her, “You aren’t married to him. Why are you so worried about him?”

Suxue blushed and turned around as she stammered, “Stop trying to distract me. I just think that Yan’er relies on him a lot. We can’t let Long Chen die here. I even promised Yan’er that we will ensure Long Chen’s safety.”

Bai Lan nodded. “Don’t worry. He will be safe with me here.”

Suxue had always found her father reliable. She felt slightly relieved after hearing that he would save Long Chen.

In reality, Long Chen was facing a headache.

While wearing the armor, Jin Ling’s essence was amplified. More importantly, the armor was extremely sturdy, making it very hard to wound him right now.

Long Chen wouldn’t have been able to hurt Jin Ling if he didn’t have the Three Thousand Star Cluster.

Golden Emperor Armor? It should be the Gold clan’s most treasured artifact. I suppose the other clans have corresponding armors too. Though I’m not certain if they were passed down by the Five Emperors…

Long Chen was silent while thinking of a way to deal with Jin Ling and the Golden Emperor Armor. Jin Ling had already equipped it and merged its power into his own body. He now looked like a god clad in gold as he glared at Long Chen excitedly.

“Even though I’m using an external item to defeat you, you are also using the Three Thousand Star Cluster to overpower me. In that case, don’t blame me for using this armor…”

There weren’t any substantial grudges between them. It was just a clash of treasures.

Jin Ling would’ve run at Long Chen without hesitation if they were sworn enemies.

“I don’t mind. Let’s just fight…” This fight had dragged on for quite some time. This was only the first fight of the day, and no one had thought that it would be so spectacular.

Jin Ling taking out the Golden Emperor Armor appeared to have sealed the fate of the battle.

But Long Chen didn’t appear to be afraid.

Jin Ling was wary of Long Chen. Does he have another technique up his sleeve?

“I, Jin Ling, respect your strength as my opponent today. But we must decide a victor!”

Jin Ling’s techniques were also amplified due to his burgeoning essence.

They were now several times stronger!

The two of them sized each other up in the arena.

I can’t continue like this…

Long Chen was very calm. Even though Jin Ling was stronger, it wasn’t to the point that he was undefeatable. That was due to Jin Ling’s cultivation level being too low. A cultivator at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage wouldn’t be able to use all of the armor’s strength.

In that case… Blood Devouring Domain…

The horrifying technique was very powerful when used at the right time. The blood-red space covered the two of them completely. Bai Lan and the others had seen Long Chen using it before, so they weren’t shocked, but the others were stupefied by the sudden appearance of the Blood Devouring Domain.

Wu Lian frowned while she analyzed the Blood Devouring Domain. “That technique… It has hints of a domain in it. It’s not a simple technique…”

Jin Ling was shocked by the sudden appearance of the blood-red space. It was actually sucking his blood out of his body. He was even more shocked when he learned that he had to use a large portion of his essence to keep his blood under control.

“What is this? What kind of technique is this?”

Long Chen had used the Blood Devouring Domain in almost every battle due to how strong it was.

Jin Ling had to use his essence to call out the power hidden within the Golden Emperor Armor. The amount of power granted by the armor was dictated by how much essence the user had. Jin Ling was utilizing half of his essence to suppress his blood, so his power had been cut by half.

Now he was only two to three times stronger than before he had donned the armor.

Jin Ling also realized that he could ultimately use only twice as much strength in practicality. He then saw Long Chen charging towards him with the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Long Chen still had the power of the Seven Star Body and the speed of the Big Dipper Step.

This time, Long Chen attacked with all his strength. His Seven Star Body lit up and the Three Thousand Star Cluster shone brilliantly. Long Chen attacked from different directions using the Big Dipper Step, raining down a hurricane of blows.

“Radiant Nine Heaven’s Fist!

“Frigid Nine Land’s Seal!”

Jin Ling was so shocked that he used the same techniques again, this time with more power than usual.

Long Chen still didn’t use his strongest attack, which was merging three Emperor Seals together.

The Golden Emperor Seal and the Scarlet Emperor Seal lit up in his palm.

“Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal!

“Golden Emperor Veiled Heaven Seal!”

Long Chen fused both techniques and launched them. However, his technique was the one that was destroyed this time! Thankfully, Jin Ling didn’t have much strength left due to the Blood Devouring Domain, or that attack would’ve killed Long Chen. While the two techniques exploded in the air, Long Chen charged and dodged towards the left, slipping through the gap between the two techniques.

“Break!”

Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters turned into a whip that extended and smacked Jin Ling. It hit the Golden Emperor Armor, and the sound of screeching metal exploded. Everyone else cupped their ears in pain.

Jin Ling howled in pain as he retreated. Even though the Three Thousand Star Cluster had hit the armor, he still felt a throbbing pain on his side.

“Impossible!”

He still had no idea what kind of technique the Blood Devouring Domain was.

“Surrender!”

Long Chen’s Three Thousand Star Clusters reverted back to a spear. He approached Jin Ling while continuously thrusting the Three Thousand Star Clusters. Jin Ling continued to evade and retreat because he didn’t want Long Chen to destroy the Golden Emperor Armor.

He had to preserve it because the Golden Emperor Armor wasn’t his! If he destroyed it in this battle, he would be branded as a criminal by the Gold clan!

The Three Thousand Star Clusters was terrifying!

“Surrender!” Long Chen shouted as he thrust the Three Thousand Star Clusters forward, this time dangerously close to Jin Ling’s face!
