"Xi'er, you must be careful when you put on this battle armor later! Although the Life Gold is a top-grade immortal treasure formed by condensing the life force of heaven and earth."

"But because it is itself a massive life force condensed to the extreme, although ordinary people can prolong their lives and even regenerate limbs just by getting close to it, this is only the result of slight contact."

"But if you get too close to it, or even integrate it into your body or soul, then, due to its characteristic of constantly absorbing the life force of heaven and earth, you might be sucked to death before you even receive its life force in return. So you must..."

"Alright, alright! If you can get close enough to it and hammer it into my battle armor, how could I not do the same?"

With his left hand outstretched, Lei Teng soared into the sky, summoning the battle armor that had become one with him.

In an instant, a robe—more accurately described as protective gear embedded in various vital areas of the body than armor—was instantly donned by Lin Xi. It was a light blue, fitted long dress with simple floral patterns that complemented the overall design, creating a dreamlike effect.

Then, accompanied by a mournful cry from the spirit of the battle armor, the life force within Lin Xi's body was directly absorbed by the battle armor.

Seeing how ferocious this thing, made from only three cubic meters of living gold, was, Lin Hao seized the opportunity and threw Tang San, who had finally stopped bleeding but whose wounds were still not healed, into it.

Instantly, along with the extraction of life force, the tribulation lightning carrying destructive power within Tang San's body was also directly extracted, and together with Lin Xi's life force, it continuously flowed into the battle armor constructed primarily of life-gold.

However, before Tang San and Lin Shun's life force could be truly drained and cause any problems, the battle armor, which seemed to have absorbed some dirty things, finally malfunctioned for a moment. The weapon spirit, which had been powerless to do anything about it, seized the opportunity and spat out a large mass of rich life force.

Lin Hao, who had been paying close attention to these changes, immediately sealed off all the elemental energy within a hundred-meter radius the moment he saw this life form appear, covering the entire space with his domain.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xi directly extracted the tribulation lightning, which was filled with countless destructive powers, from Tang San's body.

——————The dividing line of seven days.

Seven is always a taboo and sacred number. After seven days of suppressing this small space with all his might, he opened his domain, wore battle armor, combined his nine rings into one, and condensed the unique divine ring.

As the sea of ​​lightning, which had almost completely obscured human figures within the small space, dissipated, Lin Xi, whose entire demeanor had drastically changed and who was now close to being a god, stepped out of Lin Hao's seal. Every move she made seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, and every thought and action resonated with the universe. The female thunder god was directly revealed.

Standing in mid-air, he raised his hand and guided the countless unclaimed faith powers across the entire continent. After being refined by the sea of ​​thunder, they surged directly into the divine position within his martial soul.

In an instant, accompanied by a roar in the sky, the extremely damaged Thunder God's position was finally repaired, and a second-level god's position shone with countless rays of light in the records of the God Realm.

Then, Lin Xi rolled her eyes and slammed down onto the ground.

"Okay! I almost thought you were about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"

As he caught Lin Xi, a wave of numbness and stinging sensation spread throughout his body, causing Lin Hao to gasp in shock. This made Lin Hao, who had always had extremely high resistance to elements and was now immune to even extreme attributes, feel uncomfortable. He found a relatively lush patch of grass, threw Lin Xi into it, and then shook his hand vigorously.

He shook it while muttering to himself.

"That's strange. Why do I keep having this feeling that someone's watching me? Could it be..."

Thinking about it, he looked in the direction from which his senses were coming and saw Tang San, whose body was charred black, but whose body, soul, and martial spirit were rapidly repairing themselves, and whose strength level was changing every second.

However, the way this little punk was staring at him gave him an urge to kick him right then and there.

Then, before he could actually put his idea into practice and beat up this little bastard who might be a psychopath and was always thinking about how to kill himself, a dazed Lin Xi also crawled out of the haystack with a confused look on his face.

Chewing on the Blue Silver Grass leaf in her mouth, she found it quite sweet and swallowed it smoothly before finally coming to her senses. Then she saw Lin Hao looking at her with disgust, and Tang San with a face full of mixed emotions—a mixture of faith collapse, joy, bewilderment, and complexity—that even this female war god, who didn't want to use her brain much, couldn't decipher.

The lightning field that enveloped the forest descended instantly. On that day, Lin Hao, who was always good at striking people with lightning, was struck and charred all over. In order to save his life, he could only control the muscles in his body to keep twitching, in order to numb Lin Xi, whom he had never thought was very smart.

Tang San, on the other hand, experienced that despair again after being deeply cleaved by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The new skin that had just grown on his body was charred black by the cleavage once more.

That day, the little madwoman returned to her ladylike demeanor.

———————

"My mind has been very clear during this period."

He opened his mouth and tore into the soul beast meat in his hand, replenishing his body, which was still hungry even though he clearly didn't need to eat anymore.

The simple words made Lin Hao, who was silently eating his food, pause slightly, finally understanding why Tang San had looked at him that way before.

only……

"So what do you want? To start a war? To fight to the death? In your current state, with your incomplete control of the Sea God's power and your inability to control the Asura's power, how long can you even hold your Clear Sky Hammer? Can you even finish a full set of Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"

"I have no regrets about anything I did to you during this time, and I have a clear conscience. Putting aside all those horrifying coincidences, why should I sacrifice my sister to save you? Who do you think you are?"

"Don't force me to take action! Even if you've reached the limit, because..."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, instantly stunning Tang San so much that he dared not move.

Then, ignoring Tang San's extremely complicated gaze, she stood up, tidied up the dishes, and walked out of the room.

However, just before leaving, Lin Hao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared at Tang San for a long time.

Even though Tang San had already reached the Limit Douluo level, and his soul bone divine armor, after being fused with small fragments of two divine artifacts, was no weaker than Tang San, who had a full soul bone divine armor that had lasted for a million years, he was still wary.
