Chapter 624 - 619: Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor

Chapter 624: Chapter 619: Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor

The massive hand descended, and even before it arrived, an overwhelming pressure bore down on them.

On the vast plaza, a huge swath of people fell to their knees at once. The reason those in the Celestial Martial Realm were called Kings was because their power was truly extraordinary; ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t even withstand their aura.

"The Celestial Martial Realm is just too terrifying. How can Ning Jiang possibly defend against that?"

"Below the Celestial Martial Realm, all are but ants. I finally understand what that means."

The crowd was utterly shocked, but also filled with immense excitement.

A Celestial Martial Realm King making a move was an incredibly rare sight for them. After all, in the entire Six Eastern Provinces, including the Extreme Heaven King before them, there were only eight Kings in total.

It was nothing like the East Sea, where there were hundreds of Kings.

On a normal day, they would never even get to see a King, let alone watch one in action. Thus, a scene like this was an invaluable opportunity for them.

"Extreme Heaven King, you think that just because you’ve stepped into the Celestial Martial Realm, you can suppress me with your Cultivation? Since I dared to come today, how could I not have made some preparations?"

Just when everyone thought Ning Jiang had no chance of survival, he started laughing loudly. From his body, a terrifying aura suddenly surged, climbing higher and higher, rocketing into the sky.

"Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor, activate!"

Ning Jiang let out a roar.

From within his clothes, a faint golden light bloomed. People widened their eyes and looked closely, only to see that under his clothes, Ning Jiang was wearing a form-fitting Treasure Armor of faint gold.

It was from this Treasure Armor that an endless Power emerged.

"Break."

The light on Ning Jiang’s body flared. With fighting spirit soaring in his eyes, he shot upwards, throwing a punch that streaked across the sky like a golden rainbow.

BOOM.

The Extreme Heaven King’s massive hand and Ning Jiang collided. Instantly, the sound of an explosion echoed in the void, and countless blasts of energy swept out in all directions.

"What?"

The Extreme Heaven King was greatly shocked, unable to believe Ning Jiang possessed such Power.

"What kind of Magical Treasure is that?! It can actually let you unleash the power of the Celestial Martial Realm!"

The Extreme Heaven King was a man of discerning taste; he immediately saw how extraordinary this Treasure Armor was. Even a Celestial Spirit Artifact couldn’t achieve something like this. Although Celestial Spirit Artifacts were powerful, the most important thing was that they needed to be activated by the Martial Artist themselves.

Even if Ning Jiang were given a Celestial Spirit Artifact, he would be no match for him.

But this Treasure Armor completely overturned common sense. It possessed a vast, endless Power of its own.

How could he know that this armor was called the Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor, a Treasure Armor refined by the Linglong Saint Monarch? With the abilities of a First Saint Monarch, refining such a Treasure Armor was naturally a simple matter.

Inside the Myriad Treasures Exquisite Tower, there were actually quite a few sets of this Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor. For instance, the one Golden Cicada wore back then was of a very high grade—an Eight-Stars Treasure Armor capable of unleashing the power of an Eight-Stars King.

As for a Nine-Stars Celestial King’s Treasure Armor, not even the Linglong Saint Monarch had the means to refine one.

Anyone who could become a Nine-Stars Heaven King was a person of great destiny, born only after experiencing countless dangers and opportunities. A person of such strength could not be replicated.

The Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor Ning Jiang was currently wearing was a Three-Stars Treasure Armor, capable of unleashing the power of a Three-Stars King at its strongest.

However, with Ning Jiang’s current body, if he were to fully activate this Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor, he would be unable to withstand its tyrannical Power and would explode and die.

The key to the Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor was that one’s own body had to be able to withstand its Power. If you couldn’t, you would be killed by this immense Power instead.

So, it was a double-edged sword.

At this very moment, a vast Power surged endlessly from the Celestial Martial Exquisite Armor, filling Ning Jiang’s body. He felt as if his body were a balloon about to burst.

However, a Power emerged from his Dantian just in time, resolving the crisis.

This Power was none other than the Heaven-Devouring Sect.

The purpose of the Heaven-Devouring Sect was to expand Ning Jiang’s capacity, allowing his body to withstand even more Energy.

It was like a water tank that couldn’t hold enough water, so its capacity had to be expanded.

"Extreme Heaven King, are you ready to die?"

Ning Jiang’s gaze was icy, his aura soaring.

"Arrogant! You think you can beat me just because you have this Treasure Armor? As long as you haven’t entered the Celestial Martial Realm, you will never understand the power of this Realm!"

The Extreme Heaven King snorted coldly and threw a punch.

The heavens and the earth changed color. Endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was drawn in, gathering together. This punch seemed intent on shattering all the beauty in people’s hearts and bringing them utter despair.

"Extreme Heaven King, your horizons are too narrow. You will never know what kind of existence you are facing."

Ning Jiang’s gaze was frigid. He pointed his fingers and drew a line through the void.

SSHHHRRIIIP!

Following his fingers, a streak of Sword Aura sliced forward. The air in its path parted like a surging tide. This simple slash sent a chill through the hearts of countless people.

If such a Power were to fall upon them, it could kill tens of thousands in an instant.

"Die."

The Extreme Heaven King roared. Having stepped into the Celestial Martial Realm, he deeply understood the power of this Realm and absolutely refused to believe that Ning Jiang could contend with him just by relying on a piece of Treasure Armor.

RUMBLE!

He unleashed a world-shaking strike. Terrifying fluctuations rolled out, vast and mighty, pressing down like the ocean. The destructive aura made countless Martial Artists tremble to their core.

Even Su Yuying’s expression was grave.

Although she was a Supreme Celestial Powerhouse and only a step away from the Celestial Martial Realm, that single step was the difference between heaven and earth!

The Supreme Celestial Rank was considered a Half-Step Celestial Being, while the Celestial Martial Realm was a true Celestial Being.

But the Extreme Heaven King’s attack was completely useless against Ning Jiang. The Sword Aura that Ning Jiang had drawn with his fingers sliced forward, peerless and unstoppable.

With Ning Jiang at the center, the very world seemed to be split in two.

No matter how tyrannical the Extreme Heaven King’s attack was, it was easily broken by this single strike. It was as if, in the face of this blow, the Extreme Heaven King’s Power was laughably childish.

"What?"

The Extreme Heaven King couldn’t believe it and dodged the attack.

The Sword Aura flew into the distance, passing over several mountain peaks and slicing the thousand-zhang-tall mountains directly in two.

*HISS...*

The crowd gasped, their hearts filled with terror.

That Ning Jiang could unleash such might with a casual flick of his finger was simply unimaginable.

"Extreme Heaven King, you only recently stepped into the Celestial Martial Realm. Your application of Magical Power is still too shallow. Your Power may be vast, but it’s a shame you can’t concentrate it. It’s all show and no substance."

Ning Jiang said lightly.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in the Extreme Heaven King’s eyes. How could he not know this was his weakness?

Celestial Martial Realm Kings no longer controlled ordinary Spiritual Qi, but Magical Power—the Power of Laws. But because he had only just entered this Realm, he was not yet familiar with the application of Magical Power. To completely master this Power would take decades, at the very least.

Yet Ning Jiang’s simple finger slash had condensed his Magical Power into a single point. It looked simple, but it revealed that Ning Jiang’s control over Magical Power was simply sublime!
