Chapter 25 Chapter 25
The screen was filled with golden light, almost blinding the people in the audience.
Everyone looked at the screen nervously.
Immortality!
The name of this divine robe is quite arrogant, but it looks very powerful. Can it withstand the attack of the huge nightmare beast falling from the sky?
The federal audience had mixed feelings. It felt like their former rival and neighbor suddenly took out a dazzling treasure, and only then did they realize that this annoying neighbor had grown so much without them realizing it.
There is a feeling of being shown off.
The audience in the Empire was very proud. Looking at the reluctant expressions of the audience in the Federation, I really wanted to say something rude, you haven’t seen this magical clothing before, it’s from our Empire!
Federation audience: Seeing the smug look on the Imperials’ faces makes me feel even more aggrieved.
But for some people, none of this matters. What matters is——
"Ah, why is the light so bright? It's so annoying! I want to see the Queen!"
"Your Majesty's sword is truly powerful, so handsome and cool!"
"Calm down, that's not necessarily Lady Shiji."
"When the imperial people asked her if she was Lady Shiji, she didn't deny it!"
"The Queen isn't from the Federation, could she be from Xingluo District?"
This group of people are only interested in Niangniang Shiji. They don't care about immortality or anything like that.
The judges were actually more concerned about Shiji Niangniang, but looking at the screen full of golden light, they had to do their job of analysis and explanation diligently.
"We can see that the divine garments entered by the Empire are very interesting."
"Yes, their divine garments seem to be increasingly leaning towards an inherent logic of power rather than a change in form. This may be related to their divine towers."
"Indeed, in our Federation, there are also many who don't seek to change their physical form and directly adopt the Divine Clothes of Power Logic every year, but it is difficult for them to pass the Divine Tower's certification. In other words, it is impossible to convince the Divine Tower by simply saying that I want certain abilities. Does the Imperial Divine Tower have fewer restrictions in this regard?"
As the judges were talking, someone asked Cheng Zixin, "Teacher Cheng, what do you think? Teacher Cheng's [Spirit] series of divine clothing is a typical example of minimal changes in body form. Your approach to divine clothing is quite similar to that of the Empire."
Cheng Zixin pursed her lips. Why do these people always like to cue her?
She organized her words. "There are countless design ideas for divine armor. As long as they can impress the divine tower, it's normal for them to have similarities. For example, the immortality of this Empire player is actually more similar to defensive divine armor. For example, for a few seconds, the divine master becomes invincible and immortal, allowing them to withstand all damage. This doesn't mean they are truly indestructible."
"Defensive divine garments like the well-known 'Iron Mountaintop', 'Tower Wall', and 'Eternal Sea' in our Federation can all play a strong defensive role."
The other judges nodded repeatedly. Apart from anything else, Cheng Zixin's ability to answer questions was really strong. She could answer any question and explain it clearly and logically, which seemed very profound.
No wonder he was promoted and packaged as one of the representatives of outstanding young people in the Federation.
"What do you think of that female contestant who looks like Lady Shiji?"
Cheng Zixin pondered for a moment and said, "We're still unsure if that contestant is Niangniang Shiji. All we know is that she possesses a golden sword that's connected to a giant cyan bird, and can condense purple divine power in her hand to fight nightmare beasts. But she still shows no signs of divine possession, which is puzzling to me. I think this contestant will soon bring us even bigger surprises."
As soon as the words fell, the golden light on the screen faded, and everyone quickly looked at the screen carefully.
Xuan Yin in the arena was also staring closely at the immortal body in the air.
Even though she was pounced on by the Nightmare Beast because of her distraction, she did not even turn her head back, but stabbed the Nightmare Beast to death with a sword, and her eyes never left the immortal body.
The other party was emitting golden light all over his body, which not only protected himself, but also protected the imperial people below.
The nightmare beast fell from the sky and smashed heavily on the man, but it did not crush him to death. Instead, it just held him up in the air.
The immortal body roared and directly knocked the huge nightmare beast away.
Xuanyin slowly exhaled from her chest.
It’s completely different from my senior brother’s immortal body.
My senior brother’s immortality comes from his physical body and endless vitality. Even if he only has one arm and a head left, he can continue cell division and grow a new body.
But the senior brother himself is actually quite crispy.
Of course, his longer life span than others is enough for him to learn a lot of things, and his fighting power is also top-notch in the fleet, but his body is relatively fragile.
It is completely different from the "immortal body" in front of him that is like a golden bell.
My heart slowly sank. I couldn't tell if it was a feeling of loss or something else, but I felt empty inside.
There are some words that, after all these years, still make my heart tremble when I hear them, like a clockwork stress response, or like suffocating like drowning in the sea.
"Be careful!" a shout rang out.
Xuanyin looked back and saw a nightmare beast trying to attack her, but a figure rushed over faster and knocked the nightmare beast away.
Looking closely, I saw that this person was also covered in sparkling water, his skin had turned into an alloy shell, with only his face exposed. It was Cheng Shuhui!
The nightmare beast clawed at his body, making clattering sounds, but it couldn't leave a single mark.
He seemed to want to say something to Xuanyin, but Xuanyin stabbed him with a sword.
Cheng Shu replied: “!”
With a puff, a nightmare beast behind him that wanted to launch a sneak attack was pierced through.
Cheng Shuhui was stunned for a moment: "Thank you, thank you."
Xuanyin didn't speak to him and continued to look at the immortal body.
The opponent finally finished exerting his strength, the golden light converged, and he fell heavily to the ground from the air, as if he had lost all his strength.
At the same time, the huge nightmare beast also fell to the ground.
Although the Nightmare Beast was translucent, it was not light at all. When it fell, the entire earth shook three times.
Soon, it climbed up. This time, everyone could see its appearance clearly. It was an elephant-shaped nightmare beast with a huge and bulky body, a nose full of spikes, and two extremely thick tusks that could pierce three people into kebabs at once.
A federalist suddenly shouted, "It's the pictographic nightmare beast. It was this kind of nightmare beast that led the massive invasion back then, trampling countless soldiers to death!"
Some people tried to attack the object-shaped nightmare beast, but the attacks were just like tickling it.
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Was it reasonable for a Nightmare Beast of this caliber to appear in the rookie competition? Just asking, was it reasonable? It was probably aiming for total annihilation.
The nightmare beast shook its head and walked towards the people step by step, full of oppression, and made a dull roar like an elephant from its mouth. When the other small nightmare beasts around heard this sound, they froze for a moment, and then attacked the contestants even more excitedly.
The young prince wrinkled his nose in disgust: "What the hell!"
He looked at Xuanyin: "Hey, do you want to compete with me to see who can kill this guy first? If you lose, how about you come with me?"
Xuanyin looked at him and didn't answer.
She was wondering why this competition had to replicate the war situation on Planet H8.
Back then, Planet H8 was attacked by the Nightmare Beast, which resulted in almost the annihilation of the entire army. It was also the first time in history that the Nightmare Beast was able to break through the space gap on such a large scale, so people were caught off guard.
So, is this competition to discover the magical clothes that can address this phenomenon?
Or perhaps the attack direction and type of the Nightmare Beast in the future will be of this type, so the organizers of the competition directly gave the contestants a topic.
Seeing that Xuanyin ignored him, the young prince was not angry. He took out a button for divine clothing and pressed it down.
The next moment, a dazzling red and black beam of divine power fell from the sky and landed on him.
The contestants on the side were forced to retreat several steps. The burning sensation of the divine power was like magma erupting. If they got a little closer, they would feel like their whole body was melted.
Everyone looked at the beam in shock: "Such a strong fluctuation of divine power, what level of divine clothing is this?"
"Why are you in this competition when you're so good? Are you trying to bully the weak?"
The pictographic nightmare beast also stopped and even took two steps back. Its dark and turbid eyes stared at the young prince of the empire vigilantly, as if it realized that the thing in front of it was very dangerous. It rushed over without waiting for the possession to be completed, trying to interrupt.
But the young prince's attendants immediately stepped forward to stop him.
After more than ten seconds, the little prince of the empire completed his possession of the spirit, the light column disappeared, and everyone opened their eyes wide to look.
The arrogant young man's hair and clothes turned red, and his legs disappeared from the lower half of his calves, replaced by a ball of red flame with black light.
The flame lifted his entire body up, more than ten centimeters off the ground. He was suspended in the air, emitting scorching heat, as if he was really stepping on a ball of fire.
His eyes also turned red, with flames burning in them, making him look a little unreal.
He looked at Xuanyin: "How is it? My divine robe is not worse than yours, right?"
He laughed heartily, flew up, and threw two huge fireballs at the ideographic nightmare beast.
The Nightmare Beast dodged to the left, avoiding one fireball, but was still hit by another fireball, and its body surface immediately caught fire.
The majestic ideomorphic nightmare beast let out a shrill cry and ran against the wind, as if trying to shake off the flames on its body, but it was unable to do so. Instead, the flames only burned more fiercely.
The little prince was very satisfied with his work. Looking at Xuan Yin who was staring at him, he thought she was shocked by him. He couldn't help but fly higher and waved his hand. The other little nightmare beasts were also concentrated by the fireball and burned one after another, with screams one after another.
The federal players were all shocked. This was too scary. They tried their best but couldn't kill one or two nightmare beasts. This man just waved his hand and wiped out the whole group!
It’s so awesome that it’s a complete crush.
Feeling powerless and shocked, they whispered to each other, "No, has the Empire's Divine Clothes reached this level?"
"Is it their sacred tower that is releasing water?"
"How did such a powerful divine garment pass certification?"
The players present were stunned, and so were the people in front of the screen.
The judges were silent for a while. After a long while, one of them spoke up, "The Empire players should know the background of this competition and know that the biggest enemy is the Pictographic Nightmare Beast. This divine robe should be specifically designed to restrain the Pictographic Nightmare Beast."
"This flame is fueled by the body of the Nightmare Beast. My guess is that the flame won't go out until the Nightmare Beast is completely burned out. If that's the case, this divine robe is a bit outrageous."
A judge asked Cheng Zixin again, "Teacher Cheng, how does this divine robe compare to your Fire Spirit Holy Flame?"
Cheng Zixin wants to curse, will she die if I don’t cue her?
This time, she truly couldn't say that her creation was better than the divine garment on the screen. She could only reluctantly say, "This contestant's divine garment is also made of fire, but it seems to have the ability to fly. Furthermore, the key point is, how does this divine garment drive itself and how quickly does it consume energy? If this flame is fueled by the Nightmare Beast's body..."
She paused, then spoke with some difficulty, "This is equivalent to using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, so the cost to the divine master should be very small. This kind of divine clothing means that it has strong endurance."
In the federal backstage, everyone had a blank expression on their faces, and a heavy silence permeated the air.
Finally, someone spoke up: "The Imperials used this competition as a platform to flex their muscles, and they did show off some beautiful muscles. It was a show of bragging, but also a deterrent."
If this divine clothing can be mass-produced, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army will be greatly improved.
The Federation still does not have this level of top-level divine clothing that can command the overall situation and shock the entire audience.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to the female contestant on the screen, hoping that she could perform at the same level as in the dream world.
Even if he is not from the Federation, at least he is not from the Empire.
Backstage in the empire, people were delighted: "Your Highness's move was brilliant. It has astounded the entire Federation. Now it all depends on whether anyone on the Federation side can handle it."
General Gu, who was sitting in the first seat, frowned slightly: "It's not that simple."
"What's the meaning?"
General Gu shook his head: "This pictographic nightmare beast is not as simple as described in the information. I'm afraid the young prince will learn a lesson."
"What?!"
General Gu turned his gaze to Xuan Yin, whose expression remained unchanged on the screen. This person should have noticed the problem. If she could lend a hand, the young prince probably wouldn't have died.
...But even if I die, dying in a dream world, although I will suffer a little, it won't be a big problem. I can just consider it as gaining experience.
At this time, Xuanyin's face really had no expression. She was looking at the little prince of the empire, lost in thought.
The other party also looked at Xuanyin with a smug look on his face, and flew down on the flames under his feet: "How about it? Are you convinced?"
Xuanyin didn't answer but asked, "What's your name?"
He raised his eyebrows and chin: "My last name is Jin, and my given name is Qi."
Jin Qi? Xuanyin muttered this name silently, having never heard of it before.
But this person was using the divine robe of fire element, and before that, an imperial man was using the divine robe of wind element. To put it another way, the word element actually means "fire element" or "wind element".
Then there is also a predictive divine robe and a glue divine robe. These strange abilities really make her dream back to the apocalyptic era of that year.
The end of the world is an era where superpowers emerge in large numbers. It is said that during the most prosperous period, almost everyone had superpowers, and the types of superpowers were strange and varied.
But later on, a great escape began and people left Mother Earth. They were like plants planted in the ground that became potted plants. They could not connect with the earth's energy and thus gradually lost their supernatural powers.
So, is this a coincidence?
Jin Qi asked: "What's your name?"
Xuanyin: "My name is dinosaur wearing high heels."
Cheng Shuhui raised his head. This was the name of Shiji Niangniang's designer. She was acknowledging her identity!
Yu Xiaoqin and others in the audience exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.
"It's true! She really is Lady Shiji!"
"So it's the designer himself? Ahhh, is he really that amazing?"
"A designer who is also a spirit possessor. There are people like this, but they are rare. It's truly amazing!"
Jin Qi was overjoyed: "It's you!... No, I'm asking for your real name, not your contestant name. Why, after seeing my strength, you still don't want to come with me?"
Xuanyin wordlessly turned her gaze away, her eyes fixed on the pictographic nightmare beast that had turned into a fireball. "First of all, I didn't agree to go with you. Secondly, you didn't get rid of the nightmare beast, and instead made things worse."
Jin Qi: "What..."
At this moment, the elephant-like nightmare beast suddenly roared, making an extremely high-pitched sound, and its two huge ears swung wildly.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of the Nightmare Beasts responding came from all directions in the distance.
At the same time, the space around Xuanyin and the others twisted, and countless space cracks quickly appeared. One nightmare beast after another rushed out from them, appearing in front, behind, left, right, and even in the sky. It felt as if they had been waiting there, just waiting for this call.
Others were horrified.
Jin Qi was also confused and cursed the imperial quintessence: "It can also use the summoning skill!"
This is not written in the information!
Xuanyin looked at the Nightmare Beasts surging in from all directions like a tide and said calmly, "As soon as it appeared, it demonstrated its ability to command, but you didn't notice it."
Jin Qi recalled that the pictographic nightmare beast did roar a few times at the beginning, and then the nightmare beasts at the scene became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
So, is that mobilization, is that an order?
Jin Qi's face twisted. He didn't pay attention to details and acted rashly without knowing the enemy's background. He made a fatal mistake!
He should have expected that the nightmare beast that almost wiped out several federal divisions would not be so simple!
The servants quickly formed a circle around him, and watched the nightmare beasts rushing towards them from all directions, each of them exerting their maximum divine power.
He pushed them away and glared at Xuanyin: "Why didn't you stop me if you knew earlier? Now, we're all going to die, and you'll be eliminated too!"
Here, Cheng Shuhui's teammates grabbed him and said, "It's over, it's over! We're really going to be eliminated this time. There are still over a thousand people left. We won't be able to make it into the top thousand!"
Cheng Shuhui didn't listen to what he was saying at all, he just stared at Xuan Yin. When he saw Jin Qi coming forward to question him, he immediately went over to block Jin Qi away.
Jin Qi glared: "Who are you?"
Cheng Shuhui ignored him completely and just stayed by Xuanyin's side, staring at everything around him warily, ready to fight at any time.
The nightmare beast landed and pounced over.
The group of nightmare beasts in the distance also appeared.
It felt like they were everywhere, pairs of eyes, mouths everywhere. But because their bodies were translucent, I couldn't tell how many there were. I only knew that there were countless overlapping ones.
Everyone present was in despair. Even Jin Qi swallowed his saliva. No matter how powerful his magic clothes were, he could not fight four hands with two fists!
I'm really going to die here!
He is the great prince of the empire, but he has to die so miserably during the live broadcast of the event!
He looked at Xuanyin and said, "Hey, since we're all going to die anyway, let's see who dies last and who kills the most nightmare beasts before we die."
Xuanyin ignored him and raised the sword in her hand towards the sky. The sword's light gradually became brighter, like a golden torch, stinging people's eyes.
But everyone still couldn't help but watch this scene.
The next moment, a thick and powerful purple divine power smashed down vertically, covering Xuan Yin completely.
people:"!!!"
In just three seconds, the beam of light began to disappear, and the person in the beam of light had changed his appearance. He was wearing a purple robe with wide sleeves, a ribbon flying high, and a hair crown that was dazzling in the sunlight. He was so dazzling that he seemed to have walked out of another dimension.
Xuanyin opened her eyes, gripped the hilt of the sword backwards, and thrust the tip of the sword heavily into the ground. With a clang, a strong purple-gold light burst out along the ground, blowing away all the nightmare beasts around.
She stood up and leaped into the air as if teleporting. She slashed down with a sword, and the fireball-like nightmare beast that was still howling was directly split into two. The howling stopped abruptly, and the two halves of the body slowly fell to the sides.
It's worse than dead.
Jin Qi stared at the scene in amazement, then his face started to burn a little bit, and finally his whole body turned red.
What was this kind of power that he had just displayed in front of her? What was he so proud of?
So embarrassing!
If his divine robe is on the first level and the other divine robes are on the second and third levels, then the one in front of him is directly on the ceiling.
No, it's in the atmosphere!
