Chapter 50: Tang Wulin’s Exclusive Combat Power Upgrade Gift Pack

Zi Ji arrived precisely on time. As soon as she arrived, she saw Xie Yinling delivering the four-word battle armor and the god-level mecha crafted for the Demon Sovereign. She decided to settle the matter of the battle armor and mecha first.

Now that the issue was resolved, she naturally had time to inquire about other matters.

"Has Ditian not returned from unifying the sea soul beasts yet? Could something be holding him up?"

"There shouldn't be any problems," the Demon Sovereign replied. "With his current strength, even in the deep-sea regions, no sea soul beast should be his match."

Hearing her question, the Demon Sovereign, hidden under her black hood, had a slightly odd expression. She was silent for a moment before finally answering:

"The sea soul beasts aren't an issue. The last remnants of the Sea God faction have all been beheaded, and the neutral factions, including the Sea Princess, have been subdued and are now awaiting orders."

"As for Ditian… he's in seclusion. He said he's preparing to take control of a student at Shrek Academy and even borrowed two powerful evil soul masters from me in advance."

"Ditian didn't elaborate further, and you know him better than I do—if he doesn't want to talk about it, there's no point in pressing him."

Zi Ji nodded in agreement, but she couldn't help but feel a little dejected—her job had been stolen yet again.

Typically, when someone enters a secluded chamber for deep cultivation, they require a guardian to protect them. Since Xueling was nowhere to be seen, Zi Ji assumed that she must be the one guarding Ditian.

She stated her assumption without hesitation, only to receive an unexpected response from the Demon Sovereign.

"No, Xueling has returned to the Extreme North and hasn't come back yet."

This unexpected twist instantly lifted Zi Ji's spirits, dispelling her earlier gloom.

"The Demon Empress still needs to oversee Divine Craftsmen Zhen Hua and Mu Ye and cannot afford distractions. As I have some free time lately, why don't I take on the duty of guarding Ditian? Back in the Star Dou Forest, Bi Ji and I used to take turns doing it anyway."

However, just when she was basking in the joy of having found something to do, the Demon Sovereign's next words hit her like a thunderbolt.

"My daughter, Lan Fozi, is currently guarding Ditian. You don't need to go—having too many people around would be counterproductive."

Three months ago, the Demon Sovereign had noticed that Lan Fozi was getting bored, so she deliberately sent her to guard Ditian.

This way, she wouldn't run off to the human world and risk getting lured away.

Besides, this arrangement also allowed the Demon Sovereign to delegate some tasks while blocking other soul beasts from making progress.

Tsk, a win-win situation in multiple ways.

Zi Ji: "???"

Xueling had just left, and now there was another replacement. Talk about filling every available gap!

So what now? She wasn't even on the list anymore?

And since when did the Demon Sovereign have a daughter?!

Why had she never heard this widow mention it before?!

Internally, Zi Ji let out a disbelieving cry of grief, but outwardly, she simply said:

"I'm going to take a look."

She was unwilling to accept it. She had to see for herself—who was this intruder, this so-called daughter of the Demon Sovereign, Lan Fozi?

Unfortunately, before she could take action, the Demon Sovereign blocked her path.

Zi Ji initially planned to force her way in. Whether she succeeded or not, she felt she had to try to be at peace with herself.

But the Demon Sovereign only needed a few sentences to completely dispel her intentions.

"If whatever Ditian is doing is important enough for him to enter deep seclusion, then it's best not to disturb him—especially since he hasn't explicitly told us the details."

"Zi Ji, you don't want Ditian's plan to fail, do you?"

"You!"

"I..."

Zi Ji barely managed to get out two words before falling silent.

Compared to the Demon Sovereign, who had spent twenty thousand years navigating the blood-soaked seas of power struggles, Zi Ji was still too inexperienced.

After all, the Demon Sovereign had served as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years—there was nothing she hadn't seen or done. She was someone who had both witnessed and personally indulged in all manner of schemes and deceptions.

Round two: Zi Ji suffered a crushing defeat.

At this moment, the Demon Empress showed a rare sense of tact and used ingredients from Mu Ye's small cafeteria to prepare a welcome feast for Zi Ji.

At the dining table, Zi Ji turned her frustration into appetite, while secretly making a firm decision—she would form an alliance.

She unilaterally decided to establish a pact with Bi Ji, forming an offensive and defensive alliance.

Clever as she was, she had to use her wisdom and strategic thinking to reclaim the upper hand.

Ever since Ditian had left the Star Dou Forest and parted ways with the Master, he had become incredibly popular.

In this world, there were no eternal rivals—only eternal interests.

Without allies, she was fighting a lonely battle.

However, no matter how strategic she was, it was pointless without the right timing. Ditian was still in seclusion, and Bi Ji had yet to arrive. Thus, her brilliant schemes remained useless for the time being.

She had to focus on holding her ground until both her and Bi Ji's four-word battle armor and god-level mecha were completed.

Since they were both true dragons, Zi Ji's battle armor and mecha were designed using Ditian's as a template.

Placed together, their black-gold and dark-purple colors looked like a matching couple's set from the same brand.

During this time, Bi Ji did not personally come forward. Instead, Zi Ji traveled back and forth between the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and the Blacksmith Association to relay Bi Ji's specifications to Zhen Hua and Mu Ye.

Bi Ji possessed the closest bloodline to a true Phoenix among all the soul beasts on the continent.

As a result, the blueprint for her four-word battle armor was directly taken from Spirit Pagoda Vice Master Leng Yaozhu, while her god-level mecha design was sourced from the Leng family, where Leng Yaozhu originated.

Her battle armor used more Spirit Gold than any other set, and to enhance her combat effectiveness, her armor's domain was imprinted with a deadly ability.

This domain could silently absorb the life force of others. If an enemy's life force fell below 30% and was lower than Bi Ji's own total life force, she could instantly execute them with a lethal life-force judgment.

Her healing abilities were already unrivaled—even the so-called best healing-type soul master on the continent, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali, couldn't compare to her.

Rather than adding more healing capabilities, this was an opportunity to cover her weaknesses and bolster her combat power.

Nearly a year passed, and three sets of four-word battle armor and god-level mechas were finally completed.

At the same time, Ditian finished his monumental task.

A single drop of Dragon God's blood essence was finally refined, shimmering with a dazzling seven-colored radiance. It was like a water droplet refracting sunlight, gathering all colors into itself.

Having spent an entire year in deep seclusion, he hadn't just condensed the Dragon God blood essence—he had also successfully sealed its immense power.

Although it contained an ocean-like reservoir of energy, on the surface, it appeared as ordinary and unremarkable as a drop of water.

After a year of hard work, this "Tang Wulin Exclusive Combat Power Upgrade Gift Pack" was finally ready.

With it, Tang Wulin could break through multiple Golden Dragon King seals in one go, significantly increasing his combat strength—far surpassing the effects of absorbing dragon clouds, dragon souls, or even half of the Dragon God's soul in the Dragon Valley!

And best of all, global free shipping was included—wherever he ran, it would follow!
