nInside the Sword Tempest Cyclone, Tang Tian’s soul was being tempered and purified, and when the last blemish was removed, his body trembled, an indescribable relaxed sensation flooded through his entire body, and made him feel as though he was reborn.

n

nHis soul and body had achieved the perfect harmony.

n

nHe was in a state that all martial artists chased and dreamt after, and in the history of mankind, the number of people who had attained such a state were countable with one hand. Just based on this, Tang Tian was able to stand alongside any of the legends of history, and laugh arrogantly down at all of the others.

n

nWhen both were in perfectly harmonized, indescribable realizations flowed into him smoothly.

n

nTang Tian’s experiences and enlightenment all flashed before his eyes in circulation.

n

nHis cotton candy that floated silently like a cloud, pervaded with a thread of life, as though something was taking shape inside. The cotton candy started to transform into various forms, and ultimately into the shape of a flame. The glass like mist that was finer than sand transformed into a flame that pulsated slowly.

n

nEvery pulse would release a rainbow glass light aura. Within the rainbow glass light aura were uncountable faintly visible black threads that swam inside the light aura.

n

nTang Tian quietly observed and experienced the sensation. All of the fine black threads were like the Law Threads that formed the Awakened God Armor, and fluctuated and revised themselves inside the glass light. The Awakened Armor on Tang Tian’s body was also quietly revising itself, as the rainbow glass light seemed to be pervading out from the Law Threads onto the Awakened God Armor, turning the Gold Awakened God Armor into various other colors, and emitted a pulse of life.

n

nInside the glass rainbow light, all of his enlightenments were automatically transforming the Awakened God Armor.

n

nIn truth, it was exactly like what Du Ke thought, Tang Tian was a complete tyrant on Laws. He used his pure brute force to force various Law Threads together, to create his Awakened God Armor. Du Ke knew that it looked simple, but in fact, it was extremely difficult. It had a simple logic, but aside from Tang Tian, who else could achieve such a thing?

n

nThere was no need to doubt the Awakened God Armor’s strength, but it no longer had any space to grow, Tang Tian’s control over the Awakened God Armor became stronger, but mostly because of the fact that his body had been greatly strengthened. The Awakened God Armor’s Laws were in disorder, and was the greatest reason on its limitation in might.

n

nThe glass fire in Tang Tian’s body was an inspiration that he got from Temple’s Holy Flames. The most unique feature of the Holy Flame was its ability to project Laws. Tang Tian’s Glass Fire could not Project Laws, but it could sort and Optimize the Laws. Tang Tian did not wish to walk the path of Hollowfied Energy, although it was extremely powerful and had various uses, but its attribute was solely on the fact that it was “Hollowfied”, which was most suitable for Spirit Generals.

n

nTang Tian’s flesh body was tyrannical, and walking on the path of Hollowfied Energy was basically giving up on an advantage to chase an unknown.

n

nWhat Tang Tian needed was to sort the disorder Law Threads of the Awakened God Armor. With that, his original flaw in using brute force to force the Law Threads together would disappear, and at the same time, he could produce countless of variations, which was undoubtedly a way to improve the quality of the Awakened God Armor.

n

nAt Tang Tian’s or Du Ke’s level, no one could tell them how to carry on improving or what their dao was.

n

nDu Ke was in a better state, although his dao path was more conventional, and although he had already reached the pinnacle, there were people before him who had achieved it before.

n

nTang Tian was worse off, as he loved randomness and repeats. Since young, his dao path had variated away from others. For example, the Zero Energy Body. When he had achieved his Zero Energy Body, he fell into an extremely pitiable state. And as for his Awakened God Armor, no one had ever done it before, thus he could never find guidance on it. Why he had not reached this stage earlier was proof.

n

nTurning his glasslike mental state into glass fire was more of coincidence and fate, but there were various aspects that Tang Tian himself had gained enlightenment and thought about.

n

nTang Tian carefully experienced the quiet transformations of the Awakened God Armor.

n

nHis mask became black. It was a black beyond black, blacker than the night sky, and concealed all of the undulations that Tang Tian’s body emitted. His eyes gained a thin layer of transparent light lens, it contained various Light Laws, and through this light lens, the world became completely different. Sound, smell, temperature etc, more and more laws activated, and upon activation, they brought about their own advantages, and by adding all of them up, Tang Tian realized that the world had become unfamiliar.

n

nHe could see various lights that he could had never seen before, and he could see the Law Threads in the air. The faint smells that he used to smell in the past became extremely apparent, and he could distinguish between the complicated mix of soil and various other objects. He was able to sense another faint undulation from the other side of Saint Continent.

n

n~Huh?~

n

nHe quickly noticed that there were more undulations in the distance, which was still increasing.

n

nWith a thought, countless of complicated information converged to his mind and sorted themselves out, and the scene he “saw” surprised him.

n

nInside the sea of Holy Flames were many red cocoons, countless of them were cracking, and ever broken cocoons produced a Spirit General. The sea of Holy Flames already had many Spirit Generals, and Tang Tian could roughly see through their history from the remnants of undulations on their bodies.

n

nHe hated to admit it, but he respected the Great Clan Elder’s coldness and viciousness.

n

nThen, he “Saw” the Great Clan Elder and Sophie.

n

nThe Great Clan Elder seemed to have sensed him, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards his direction. With a snort, countless of Holy Flames exploded and transformed into a gigantic firewall, causing Tang Tian’s eyes to dazzle, and he could no longer see anything.

n

nBut that scene was enough to cause Tang Tian to become cautious.

n

nHe had initially thought that the fourteen fiery pillars were the Great Clan Elder’s true trump cards, but after witnessing the scene, he finally realized that the Great Clan Elder had actually prepared so many Spirit Generals. ~A Spirit General Army, the Great Clan Elder wants to use the Holy Flames to build up a Spirit General Army. In the environment of Saint Continent, a Spirit General Army’s fighting strength will greatly increase.~

n

n~We only have a hundred odd Spirit Generals, which pales in comparison to them…~ It was just a glimpse, but Tang Tian saw that the number of Spirit Generals was at least tens of thousands.

n

nTang Tian suddenly understood that the next battle would be the most important battle in his life. As long as he defeated the Great Clan Elder, Temple would fall, and the Honorable Martial Continent would self destruct without them needing to attack. He would no longer have enemies in Sacred Saint Galaxy. And the victory in Sacred Saint Galaxy would also allow him to win in Heaven’s Road. The resources, warships and armies of Sacred Saint Galaxy was something that Heaven’s Road could not fight against. As long as they found the passageway, Tang Tian could bring along a fleet and sweep the Heaven’s Road.

n

nAs long as he won the next battle, no one could stop him.

n

nThe enemies ahead of him were unprecedentedly strong, and the dangers of the battle was unprecedented, but they were unable to hide from it.

n

nIt was the decisive battle.

n

nSuddenly, Tang Tian noticed the Undying Sword’s transformation.

n

nInside the Undying Sword, above the calm Ocean of Peace, a mist had pervaded all around.

n

nThe mist was so dense that if one person were to stand in it and extended his fingers out, he would not be able to see his fingers. The endless Hollowfied Energy that had been absorbed into the Undying Sword had turned into this dense mist. The Ocean of Peace that had been trapped by the mist churned silently. Wherever the mist met the Ocean, the mist would instantly permeate into the black seawater, and transform into faint silver light scars. Countless of these silver light scars would flash inside the black seawater, like a school of silver fishes swimming actively inside the water.

n

nAt the bottom of the ocean where no light could reach, one after another, ethereal figures were standing in formation, all of them were in silence, like Terracotta Soldiers with cracks from head to toe. If there were nothing else, these soldiers would remain in slumber for another century, and await the cycle of the centuries.

n

nOne after another, the silver light looked as though they were knocking on the Door of Tie, visiting the still land.

n

nThey converged together from all directions, and entered all of the silent figures. The large quantity of silver lights surged into all of the ethereal and cracked figures. As more and more silver light entered them, the cracks on the ethereal figures started to heal. The ethereal figures started to congeal, and looked as though they were become solidified. The outline of their faces became clearer and solid, as they formed mouths, brows, nose……

n

nIt was as though invisible hands were slowly carving real life figures from the ethereal figures.

n

nWhen the cracks on their bodies were completely restored, when their bodies were completely congealed, they slowly opened their eyes. The eyes that contained immense determination, shot through the clouds of time, and lit up the dark and deadly silent seabed of the Ocean of Peace.

n

nThey slowly raised their heads, and their bodies started to float.

n

nWhen they rose out of the seawater, the mist around them were instantly aroused and surged towards them. The mist that was formed by Hollowfied Energy all entered their bodies, and like dried sponges, they frantically absorbed all of the mist.

n

nFollowing the absorption of Hollowfied Energy, their bodies continued to congeal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from an ethereal form, they formed liquid, then formed bones and flesh.

n

nAside from the grey color skin that all Spirit Generals had, they were no different from a live person. Their eyes that were formed by the black seawater were completely pitch black, but shone with a gleaming light.

n

nIf Ah Xin saw them, he would definitely be shocked.

n

nWhen their bodies completely congealed, and no mist were able to enter them, they stepped on the water surface, and silently walked inside the mist.

n

nInside the mist, there was a perfect empty square formation, which had existed unknown to others. The newly birthed soldiers walked into the square formation, and subconsciously walked to a position that was not filled, and remained unmoved.

n

nInside the pitch black water, more and more ethereal figures opened their eyes. Inside the mist, the lacking square formation was quietly being filled.

n

nTang Tian quietly watched the scene occurring inside the Undying Sword, his heart filled with emotions.

n

nFrom the beginning of the transformation, all of the shattered spirits that were never willing to rest in peace, never made any sound. They did not rejoice over their new life, and even with the new life, they never forgot their mission, they never forgot their undying convictions.

n

nThey lived to fight.

n

nAs more and more shattered spirits under the water were being summoned awake, as the lacking square formation continued to be filled, a powerful killing intent surged into the air.

n

nIn the mist that pervaded above the Ocean of Peace, the figures stood as still and disciplined as ten thousand years ago. The Great General standing at the front silently raised the gigantic war flag, and stabbed it into the front of the formation.

n

nTen thousand years later, the Southern Cross Army war flag was once again being raised up high.

n

nWhen Tang Tian saw the Southern Cross Army’s war flag being raised once again, the fighting intent inside his body instantly combusted.

n

n~You have your Spirit General Army, I have mine, let us see, whose army is stronger!~

n

nTang Tian’s emotions stirred as the fighting intent within him soared through every corners of his body.

n

n~I have been holding back for far too long!~
