Azure Armor Upgrade, Limit Break State! [2.7k]
Translator: CinderTL
"Go ahead, kill me if you can?"
The provocative electronic voice was piercing, and the figure of the azure-horned man within the virtual screen was cold and arrogant, utterly unrestrained.
Seeing this, the red-clothed woman standing at the forefront of the screen glared with fury, her chest heaving violently as she stared intently at the scene within the screen. Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the screen, accompanied by the sound of an aircraft crashing and exploding.
Boom! Flames shot into the sky, and the communication was completely severed. Her rage could no longer be contained.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!!!"
One Yang Wudi, one Meng Anran—these were already troublesome enough.
Adding to that was the suspicion that the other party had broken through to the Pinnacle Realm, the fifth-tier strength that had killed Onit, and the pressure from the board of directors these past few days.
She had originally intended to ease the conflict, but this Flame Tiger Grandmaster and the Blue Demon Team were so arrogant, refusing to back down even when given face! "All of you, go to hell!!!"
With a sudden motion, she overturned the tables and chairs in the room, and a metallic streak behind her ear flickered with a cold blue light.
But before she could fully unleash her fury, her communicator suddenly buzzed with a notification—someone was trying to establish a connection.
[Jadeite Biotech—Xu Heng]
Her expression froze, and she frowned, suppressing her anger and irritation.
Why would he contact her?

"Skyway Shipping..."
Returning to the quiet room of the Martial Hall, Chen Feng's expression remained calm, and in his hand was a new Advanced Life Elixir.
Perhaps in Zhong Yan's eyes, her willingness to ease the conflict and send someone to apologize was already an immense gesture of goodwill.
But to him, the conflict between them was already irreconcilable—it was a matter of life and death.
That was why he had deliberately left behind those provocative words.
The two cyborgs and cyborg warriors from earlier, though slightly stronger than Onit, were at best close to the peak of the fifth tier.
Deliberately, the Holy Shield Colossus had concealed much of its strength, only unleashing power close to the peak of the fifth tier. He was eagerly anticipating Skyway Shipping's retaliation.
Actively delivering nourishment—this was more suitable than waiting for Zhong Yan to leave the Cloud Dream Forest.
With that thought suppressed, he carefully placed the newly acquired Advanced Life Elixir and turned his attention to the panel before him.
[Azure Armor LV6: 1/100]
This was the greatest gain from this trip—the Azure Armor had finally upgraded and transformed.
A sudden insight brought him some information, and as night fell, he entered the dreamscape of Qinggang City.
Mist enveloped the land, and a blood-red moon hung in the sky.
The ruined city was littered with corpses, and rusted trams and buses lay overturned beneath the station platforms, their surfaces stained with dried blood.
Hum! As if sensing his presence, the blood moon seemed to tremble slightly.
From the dark night sky, a crimson light descended like a thin veil, and soon, a series of earth-shaking roars erupted.
Woo!!
Roar!!
Thud!!
The continuous sounds reached Chen Feng's ears as he stood atop a low ruined building, listening intently.
The blood moon seemed to possess a certain consciousness, capable of locking onto all his movements within the dreamscape.
Without further thought, he felt the black and azure energy spreading across his body, quickly enveloping him entirely.
His horn rose proudly, and sharp spikes protruded from his shoulders and elbows.
The black and azure armor protected all his joints, and crimson patterns on his wings emitted a faint bloody glow.
At first glance, it seemed no different from before the upgrade.
But.
"Limit Break State—Power!"
"Activate!"
With a low murmur, this was the information Chen Feng had received from the Azure Armor's feedback.
In the next instant.
The armor on his body emitted strange noises as his stamina transformed into nutrients, driving its continuous growth and transformation.
The armor on his limbs grew increasingly thick, resembling the barrels of cannons.
The deep cyan color turned as dark as black, with several thick circular rings appearing at the joints of his elbows and knees.
Similar changes occurred on his shoulders and back. The armor became so thick that it seemed like he was draped in a layer of chainmail. Additionally, several crimson patterns, resembling delicate crystal threads, coiled around and eventually formed a ferocious unicorn emblem on his chest.
ROAR!!! Suddenly, a beast's roar echoed through the night, and the ground shook as the previously encountered sixth-grade Cyclops reappeared.
Short buildings collapsed, and cars were sent flying.
A horde of half-human wolf-dogs, mutated three-headed serpent pythons, and hellish black beasts charged forward in a dense mass.
Behind them, black skeletal eagles burning with ghostly green phosphorescent flames pierced through the sky.
At the same time, several demons with bat wings, dual horns, and long, sharp tails could be seen standing on the Cyclops' shoulders and back, coldly observing.
ROAR!!
The beast's roar drew closer, and the ground shook once more.
From beneath the ruins of the collapsed buildings, a pack of hellish wolf-dogs wreathed in black flames leaped forward, while the black skeletal eagles in the sky swiftly closed in.
The air was filled with a twisted stench, as if it were corroding and decaying.
Crimson gazes enveloped him from all directions. Raising his horn, Chen Feng looked at the numerous monsters charging toward him.
"Black Flash."
WHOOSH!!
A charged Black Flash erupted from the horn on his head, its beam far more powerful than before.
As he spun in a circle, the black light formed a ring, sweeping away everything in its path with unstoppable force.
Based on his sensory comparison, Chen Feng was certain that even ordinary Radiant Alloy couldn't withstand such a charged strike.
In addition.
ROAR!!
The bat-winged demons in the sky swiftly closed in, surrounding him from both sides—three in total.
One of them lunged forward, swinging pitch-black iron claws, its eyes glowing with a sinister crimson light.
Another hovered in mid-air, uttering strange syllables as red beams, similar to Black Flash, erupted from its wings.
The third bat-winged demon appeared behind him in an instant, black flames igniting as if hellfire itself sought to consume him entirely.
"Limit Break State—Power."
The phrase echoed in his mind once more as Chen Feng stomped the ground with tremendous force.
BOOM!!
The earth split, and the ruins collapsed.
A violent force erupted like a volcano, shattering the concrete ceiling into dust.
The two bat-winged demons that had closed in were sent reeling, their crimson wings flapping as their thick, dark bodies hovered in the air above the fissures.
BOOM!!
Chen Feng threw a punch straight ahead.
The shockwave exploded, and blood splattered through the air.
The demon in front of him froze in place, half of its body obliterated, its blood scattering across the sky.
The shockwave rolled backward, even shattering the walls of a distant building.
The other two bat-winged demons looked on in shock, their attacks growing even more vicious.
The red beam that pierced through the air struck Chen Feng's body, but he ignored it, turning with brute force and delivering a spinning kick.
BANG!!! White energy exploded, and the black flames were snuffed out by the sheer force, scattering into fragments.
The air burst open, and the bat-winged demon's head vanished, its body plummeting to the ground.
Chen Feng looked down at his chest and abdomen. The thickened dark armor showed only faint marks—a testament to the enhanced defensive capabilities.
He raised his head once more to look at the remaining bat-winged demon in the sky.
Their eyes met, and the Cyclops finally arrived to join the fray.
"#￥"
The bat-winged demon uttered a syllable, attempting to retreat and create distance.
But in the next moment. "Horn Strike."
A murmuring sound echoed, and the unicorn pattern on Chen Feng's chest suddenly flashed with a red light.
Whoosh!!
He actually stomped on the air, aided by his Blood Wings, and disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he had already crossed paths with the bat-like creature, hovering dozens of meters behind it.
Boom!!
The bat-like creature's body exploded, and even the bone eagles flying nearby were completely shattered.
The one-eyed Magma Troll roared and charged, its entire body glowing with deep red flames, as if molten lava was flowing through it, resembling a burning boulder.
Facing such a terrifying threat, the red light on Chen Feng's chest remained, and instead of retreating, he advanced, even throwing another punch forward.
Boom!!! A deafening roar echoed, and the world fell silent.
In the next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The air exploded, and shockwaves swept through like a storm.
Most of the low-rise buildings within a radius of several dozen meters collapsed, and even those further away shook incessantly.
Huge craters appeared on the ground behind Chen Feng, showing that the Magma Troll had actually been forced back several steps, crushing the ground beneath it, and then fell with a thunderous crash, toppling several buildings.
The massive magma arm also exploded in mid-air, falling like small meteors in various places.
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Chen Feng stood in place, breathing heavily, the red light on his chest dimming as he switched back to his original ordinary bluish-black state.
"As expected, it's incredibly powerful. After activating the Limit Break State, my strength has increased again, probably reaching the sixth tier."
"The Horn Strike is similar to a finishing move in the Limit Break State, placing a huge burden on the body, but it allows for an instant, extremely high burst of power."
"Unfortunately, the Limit Break State consumes too much stamina. I probably can't sustain it for long, at most two or three minutes."
Chen Feng caught his breath and quickly locked in his stamina.
After using the Horn Strike, he felt his muscles tearing and in pain, not because of excessive stamina consumption, but because his current Physical Body couldn't withstand the continuous use of such a finishing move.
His muscles were torn, and his cells were also damaged, which was why he felt so uncomfortable.
Roar!!
The massive roar sounded again, and Chen Feng looked up to see that the shattered arm of the one-eyed Magma Troll was actually regenerating.
Molten lava flowed, and the magma continued unabated.
The enormous body rose again, and the thudding footsteps shook his very soul.
Not far away, hundreds of inhuman monsters were charging, and Chen Feng flapped his Blood Wings, instantly leaving his original position.
"I leave it to you!"
A voice of entrustment rang out, and without looking back, he charged towards a tall building.
The Limit-Breaking Light Orb was within reach, and a pure white Attribute Light Orb was also drawn into his hand.
"ROOOAR!!"
Boom!!
A golden light shot into the sky, and the massive Silver-Gray Colossus threw a punch.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the powerful one-eyed Magma Troll was once again pierced through the chest, collapsing with a thunderous crash, toppling a high-rise building.
Through the shared vision, Chen Feng, using the Holy Shield Colossus's eyes, clearly saw that near the pierced chest of the Magma Troll, there was a flame orb the size of an adult's fist.
Molten lava flowed from it, continuously repairing the massive wound.
Whoosh!!! Monsters surrounded him again, charging up the tall building.
Chen Feng cut off the vision, and Black Flash erupted, obliterating everything.
His Blood Wings flapped again, and several Limit Breaking Orbs and Attribute Light Orbs were drawn into his hand.
In the brief interlude, he stood atop the building, looking out over the ruined city.
Darkness and gloom, more despairing than the safe zone, with not a single light in sight.
The blood-red moon became the only source of illumination in this world. By its pale light, one could see the ruins of crumbled walls and broken structures stretching endlessly, leading up to a massive high wall at the horizon.
A wall no less imposing than the one in Yun Port, the central city of Earth, stood like a giant at the edge of the sky.
But upon closer inspection, the wall showed signs of collapse, with many gaps and holes scattered across its surface.
Taking it all in, Chen Feng tried to locate the direction of the Martial Hall and the Hall of Enforcers.
The former was crucial for obtaining stronger Martial Arts True Skill Keys, while the latter might hold more Attribute Light Orbs.
Screech!!
Suddenly, a mutated, grotesque half-eagle creature with a face full of sores charged at him, interrupting his survey.
Swish! A golden light flashed, and the eagle's head was severed.
In the darkness, the Black Tide surged. Since he had already been marked, Chen Feng decided to unleash his Force. Fiery orbs floated around him like torches, illuminating everything.
After determining a direction, he flapped his Blood Wings and swept forward, clearing the path.
Light Orbs, monsters.
Absorption, slaughter.
His stamina and spirit were continuously drained. In the distance, a new sixth-tier creature appeared, joining a one-eyed giant in besieging the Holy Shield Colossus.
Deafening roars and continuous earthquakes shook the ground.
Chen Feng absorbed a Light Orb inside a residential building, then his gaze sharpened as he noticed something in the living room.
A single sheet of white paper, scattered on the floor, with some handwriting on it.
He shouldn't have been overly interested, but...
[Alliance Calendar Year 247, March 12th]
[I, Wang Yu! Have safely returned from the Dead Crow Secret Realm!!]
[Alonco has finally been revived. The Star Soul Elixir is indeed a remarkable thing.]
[Although my strength has significantly declined, there are plenty of ways to recover in the future.]
[Moreover, I've summoned another Ancestor Heroic Spirit, the Fist King Rett!]
[Black Calamity, just wait, I will repel you!]
[And the Dead Crow Secret Realm, it truly is a fascinating world. So, the Star Realm and the Abyss are connected in such a way.]
[Alliance Calendar Year 247, April 9th]
[Alonco has fully recovered. Although he's not as gentle as the Storm Queen Shirley, nor as powerful as Rett is now, he has always given me immense confidence!]
[I want to make him stronger. He told me that the Holy City in the Serpent Spirit Secret Realm has something he needs! The holy sword there might help him break through his current tier!]
[Excellent, once we repel this Black Calamity, I must visit the Serpent Spirit Secret Realm again!]
[Wait... Shirley says she also wants to revisit the Dead Crow Secret Realm. Hmm... Which one should I choose?]
[Alliance Calendar Year 247, April 19th]
[The Black Calamity has erupted again. The northern high wall couldn't hold and collapsed. The Hall of Enforcers' supernatural barrier was also shattered.]
[Although we repelled the Black Calamity, an entire region was dragged into the Abyss Secret Realm! That's where calamity resides!]
[I must go and save them!]
The diary entries abruptly ended. Chen Feng recognized this as the writings of Wang Yu, the young man who had awakened the Spirit Control Talent.
Calamity Secret Realm?
The holy sword in the Holy City of the Serpent Spirit Secret Realm? The connection between the Star Realm and the Abyss?
All the information was cut off at critical points, making him clench his fist in frustration.
Boom!!
Suddenly, before he could react, the wall collapsed. A rhinoceros-like half-human monster smashed through everything, charging in like a war machine.
Bang!!! Chen Feng was sent flying, crashing through seven or eight walls in a row.
The cyan-black carapace and golden armor simultaneously released their force, sending shards of bricks flying in all directions.
The half-human, half-rhinoceros creature, its body twisted and covered in festering sores and writhing flesh, charged once more. Meanwhile, the lion-headed, eagle-bodied monster in the sky, its eyes glowing crimson, swooped down from above.
Whoosh!!
A black beam, like a dark lightning bolt, pierced through everything.
Amid the explosion of flesh and blood, Chen Feng crashed through another wall, completely escaping the environment of the ruined high-rise.
The black light sizzled on his horn as he immediately flapped his Blood Wings, slicing through the sky with a whoosh.
