Chapter 240: Myriad Beasts Armor_1

At this moment, everyone noticed the change in Di Tian.

Di Tian, the Black Dragon King with a legacy of over eight hundred thousand years, had long reached the world's limit in strength. Disregarding the gods, Di Tian was the mightiest being, surpassing Titled Douluo and nearing the demi-god tier.

Even Qian Dao Liu, Tang Chen, and their likes were far from being a match for Di Tian.

But that sword just unleashed by Xu Ran—the one infused with the essence of myriad beasts—actually caused Di Tian to show a slight ripple of emotion.

Although that strike was far from sufficient to injure Di Tian, it was terrifying enough.

Now Xu Ran's "Cultivation Level" was only level 50. Without even a fifth soul ring, his cultivation wasn't on par with a Soul King, yet he unleashed such a fearsome sword attack.

That sword strike was enough to claim the life of most who had just stepped into the ranks of Titled Douluo.

Caught off guard, even those slightly more powerful Titled Douluo might have been gravely injured.

It's true that Xu Ran borrowed the armor's energy for such a soul skill, but only Xu Ran, as an Auspicious Beast, could utilize it. It would become his trump card, and anyone who underestimated him because of his youth would pay a hefty price.

"Is it really that strong? At least now I've got some self-protective ability. Even if I get caught by Davis in flagrante, there's no need to panic too much; I can retreat safely," Xu Ran murmured, full of excitement.

Originally, he just thought of using the Skydream Ice Silkworm's incredibly tough sheddings to create a somewhat harder armor, but he never expected to craft such a treasure.

According to its class, this armor, even if not on par with a divine artifact, would certainly qualify as a demi-god artifact.

After using the strength enhancement card last time, he was somewhat reluctant to let go.

That overwhelming strength was just too exhilarating.

What Xu Ran enjoyed was that feeling of an unfair advantage.

But now, he had yet another external boost.

Although it wasn't like last time, where he could instantly possess peak strength, its lasting power was a plus. Being able to unleash such a move every few months wasn't bad either.

"Congratulations, my lord. This sword strike is something even a level 95 Titled Douluo from the human world would need to sidestep," Di Tian approached and said respectfully.

With this armor on, even without employing that sword technique, Xu Ran was already capable of facing most Soul Douluo of the human world. Now, Xu Ran certainly had the ability to protect himself.

"Congratulations, my lord. With such potential for the future, you are surely destined to lead our Soul Beast Clan to unparalleled heights," the other beasts also said reverently.

"Xu Ran, you're so strong," Xiaowu approached and held onto Xu Ran's arm, excitedly exclaiming.

Although Xu Ran was very strong when he used the secret technique last time, even stronger than he is now, it didn't bring as much impact as seeing it with her own eyes.

Xiaowu's palm caressed Xu Ran's black and gold armor, feeling its hard texture and the distinct angular lines, which added to the manliness of Xu Ran, filling her eyes with fascination.

Xu Ran, clad in armor, truly looked cool, especially with his handsome features, it made him appear exceptionally valiant.

"Strong? It's just borrowing the power of the armor, not my own strength," Xu Ran laughed, gently kneading Xiaowu's soft waist.

"But that's already very strong," Xiaowu giggled, twirling Xu Ran's pitch-black hair that hung down his back, her eyes sparkling with stars as she spoke.

Now Xu Ran's power was definitely among the top contenders on this continent, even if not at the very summit. But Xu Ran was still so young; given more time, what would the other powerhouses of this world amount to?

Even so, not just in this world, but also the strong beings from other worlds, the gods of the Divine Realm, would one day have to look up to Xu Ran.

"Give me some more time, and once I become invincible in this world, I will marry you," he whispered, feeling the warm, delicate body in his arms, and the lingering fragrance filled Xu Ran's heart with tenderness.

Hearing Xu Ran's firm words of love, Xiaowu's heart nearly melted. She leaned softly against Xu Ran's armor and quietly murmured an "Mhm." In this life, she recognized only Xu Ran.

Seeing Xu Ran and Xiaowu routinely showing off their affection, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts pretended not to notice.

Meanwhile, Zi Ji and Bi Ji felt different emotions stirring inside, unable to shake off a faint sense of melancholy.

After a while, Xiaowu, with her face flushed, struggled out of Xu Ran's embrace and, noticing the strange looks from the many ferocious beasts, shyly looked towards Xu Ran.

"Myriad Beasts Armor, withdraw."

Xu Ran focused his mind and silently commanded. The black armor on his body retracted, transforming into streams of pure energy that flowed into his body. The armor, having absorbed the essence of numerous ferocious beasts and his own blood essence, had already developed a life of its own and automatically entered his body at his summons.

"Congratulations, 'Host,' for obtaining a treasure, the Demi-God Artifact: Myriad Beasts Armor."

"Myriad Beasts Armor: Integrated with the essence of myriad beasts and crafted using materials of powerful soul beasts. The 'Host' can collect the blood essence of soul beasts through the armor's heart-protecting mirror, thereby upgrading the Myriad Beasts Armor, commanding myriad beasts, and becoming the Supreme Soul Beast."

The System's female voice rang out, and at the same time, the system panel appeared before Xu Ran's eyes.

[Host]: Xu Ran

[Martial Soul]: "Godslayer Sword"

[Skill Points]: 7300 points

[Items]: Myriad Beasts Armor (Demi-God Artifact)

[Cultivation Level]: level 50

[Bloodline]: Kirin Auspicious Beast Bloodline (Three thousand four hundred twenty years)

[Harem]: Zhu Zhuqing, Xiaowu, Zi Ji

[Mission]: Resolve the divine injury on Gu Yuena (Mission Reward: 2000 Skill Points, Progress 11/20); Reveal Yu Xiaogang's true identity in front of Liu Erlong (Mission Reward: Sword Flight Technique, fifth soul ring: Fifteen Thousand Year Evil God Sword. Skill Points two thousand.)

For Xu Ran, completing Gu Yuena's mission would bring his skill points to 8400, not far from ten thousand. His Soul Beast age had reached over three thousand four hundred years, and with the upgradable Demi-God Artifact-level Myriad Beasts Armor, this trip to the Aquipeia Forest was definitely worth it.

However, he could stay in the Aquipeia Forest for at most another half month. After treating Gu Yuena's injuries, he would have to set off back to the Xingluo Empire. The Empire also had people he cared about.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Ran reached out and stored the rest of the armor into the storage soul tool.

Inside, there were armors crafted for Zhu Qing Zhu Yun, Rongrong, Yue'er, Bing'er, Xue Wu…

For now, they were the people he cherished the most. As for the wives he hadn't pursued yet, that could wait until later, as he had no emotional connection with them at the moment.

If they were needed later, he could always craft a few more sets of armor.

After all, the Skydream Ice Silkworm was right here, tied up and not going anywhere, ready to be of continued use.
