Chapter 296 Diamond Armor——Fusion!
Liang Shixian originally practiced "Yiwudao", and he only needed to open up five meridians.
However, some time ago, the Mountain God Tree was promoted to the Heaven-reaching Jianmu, and many more kinds of spiritual fruits were able to be produced.
Moreover, before the promotion, Shanshenmu had been able to adapt to the properties of spiritual fruits to a certain extent with the help of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Medicine.
After promotion, this ability becomes even stronger.
Not to mention anything else, the medicine with the marrow cleansing fruit as the main ingredient has already been upgraded to version 4.0 and is already able to have an effect on the warrior's qi and meridians.
Although the production cost of this medicine is still a bit high at present...mainly because the preparation process is a bit complicated, it cannot be mass-produced and promoted on a large scale for the time being. However, given the relationship between Liang Shixian and Ji Ruo, Liang Shixian can also use various new medicines in advance.
The main function of this new type of marrow cleansing medicine is to help open up the meridians - in simple terms, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of practicing "physical martial arts".
It is almost foreseeable that in the near future, if the Pharmaceutical Industry makes another breakthrough, the price of new marrow washing agents will inevitably plummet.
The boundary between the martial arts realm and the qi meridian realm will become blurred.
…
Let’s get back to the topic.
Although Liang Shixian is still in the Qi Meridian stage, his Qi meridians have been opened up to 80% to 90% with the help of a large amount of medicines applied for by Ji Xiaoxiao and his own hard work, and it won't be long before he can condense the Dantian Xingxuan.
At this moment, in order to protect the girls behind him, he alone endured the bishop's blood curse, and his blood became extremely violent.
Fortunately, Liang Shixian specialized in hard skills, and although the raging blood and qi was uncomfortable, it was not unbearable.
Although it looks a bit miserable, there won't be any big problems for the time being.
“Huff~Huff~”
Liang Shixian was breathing heavily. His iron shirt had already reached the level of "pure blue as fire" and was only one step away from "perfection".
If it weren't for the fact that 'superb' was different from the previous levels and could not be achieved simply by a large amount of practice and the supply of medicine, Liang Shixian would have broken through the iron shirt long ago.
He is not like Ji Ruo who has the help of a systematic teacher. Every effort he makes will not be in vain and his martial arts proficiency can be seen to improve.
Liang Shixian was able to upgrade the Iron Shirt to the 'Pure Blue' level in such a short period of time, and even mastered the Golden Bell Cover by analogy. This shows how talented he is.
At this moment, because of resisting the blood curse, the qi and blood in his body were running wildly, and the accumulated medicinal power in his body that had not been completely refined due to taking a large amount of medicine during this period of time was being refined rapidly.
The circulation of the runaway qi and blood no longer had any regularity at all, and the qi shield condensed by the Golden Bell Cover became shaky and about to fall.
Liang Shixian gritted his teeth and persevered.
Under normal circumstances, the Qi and blood circulation of hard work tends to be heavy and slow, but the situation at this moment is completely the opposite.
So much so that Liang Shixian's iron cloth shirt, which had reached the pure blue state of furnace fire, suddenly turned a strange red.
Liang Shixian's breathing became heavier and heavier, slow to the point of being violent. This change actually gave Liang Shixian some different insights.
"Defense is strength!"
Liang Shixian suddenly realized and stopped suppressing his outburst.
The iron-black skin instantly turned red, and blood-red steam rose up.
“Wow! It’s so hot!”
Blood oozed out of the pores, instantly leaving Liang Shixian's body and flying towards the bishop.
The air shield condensed by the Golden Bell Cover, the indestructible magic skill taught by Ji Ruo, and the Iron Shirt that was undergoing some kind of transformation...
The protective energy cultivated from the Vajra Invincible Divine Art merged with the Golden Bell Cover and suddenly contracted, gathering into Liang Shixian's limbs and bones.
The sounds of metal clashing rang out from Liang Shixian's flesh and blood, like a piece of fine iron being tempered by thousands of hammers.
More and more blood left Liang Shixian's body, and he became thinner rapidly.
Suddenly, Liang Shixian felt a strange force slowly surrounding him, pure and condensed.
His consciousness had begun to blur, but that power preserved his last moments of clarity.
In a trance, it seemed as if someone was quietly asking me what I wanted to do with this power.
Liang Shixian subconsciously thought of Ji Ruo's handsome armor and his gorgeousness when he transformed.
"If possible, I also want a set of armor like Ji Ruo's..." Liang Shixian thought subconsciously.
The next moment, a golden-red belt condensed around his waist.
"King Kong!" Liang Shixian suddenly had an idea, and he pounded his fists together and shouted, "Exercise!"
The diamond energy is integrated into the flesh, blood, and bones, tempering the internal organs!
The medicinal power accumulated in the body was refined by the runaway Qi and blood, making the Qi and blood even more violent. It rushed forward, breaking through one barrier after another in an extremely crazy manner.
"Transform!"
…
The girls who were protected by Liang Se-hyun stared at his back, their hearts trembled.
They know exactly what Liang Shixian is doing now.
Previously, the power of the blood curse was dispersed in dozens of parts and acted on them, and they could not bear it. But now, Liang Shixian was using his own strength to resist the power of the blood curse for them.
They are safe and sound because the forces that could harm them were blocked by Liang Shixian.
The thick blood-colored steam coming out of Liang Shixian's body, the twisted skin, and the red complexion...
A strange feeling arose in their hearts.
They had already been in despair. Even their parents had not protected them. They were sold off to others for a little money or even a word from the Church of Truth.
Those hypocritical believers never protected them, but just kept persecuting, persecuting, and persecuting them.
In contrast, Liang Shixian and they were just casual acquaintances, and they didn't even know each other's names.
Liang Shixian, however, was able to stand in front of them to protect them, using his frail flesh and blood to resist the god-like power...
Enduring great pain, yet not saying a word, not retreating
How could these persecuted girls not be moved? How could they not be shocked? How could they not... yearn for it!
But they could do nothing now. Long-term imprisonment had made them extremely weak. Facing the bishop's god-like power, they did not even have the courage to stand up.
But...something has to be done!
"come on."
A young girl suddenly whispered.
"come on!"
The other girl's voice was firm.
“Come on!!!”
The girls cheered loudly for Liang Se Hyun. This was all they could do.
Liang Shixian's increasingly thin back became tall and majestic in their eyes.
Hope born out of despair has unparalleled power.
That extremely pure belief gathered together——
Liang Shixian, whose qi and blood were running wild, could no longer hear anything except the sound of the qi and blood roaring in his body.
He is at an extremely critical moment. Although the bishop's blood curse continues to hurt him, to some extent, isn't it also helping him hone his martial arts?
The meridians were violently opened up, and although Liang Shixian could not hear the girls' cheers, the pure faith contained in them and the hope born out of despair broke through the boundary between illusion and reality.
The girls wanted to help Liang Shixian, and the power of hope turned into faith, and the power of faith began to gather in Liang Shixian.
Emily was slightly stunned when she saw this.
This belief is pure and can even temporarily reach the quality of a saint, but since the girls are just cheering for Liang Shixian, they have no other illusions.
Because it is singular, it is pure.
But because of his singleness, he was unable to ignite the divine fire for Liang Shixian and condense a specific godhood.
As someone who has been through this before, Emily decided to give Liang Shixian some guidance.
Emily's sakura lips opened and closed, and her soft voice echoed in Liang Shixian's consciousness.
"What do you want to do with these beliefs? If you want, you can do it."
Liang Shixian whispered subconsciously: "If possible, I also want a set of armor like the one Ji Ruo is wearing. It looks so handsome..."
Emily: “???”
And because Liang Shixian had a specific idea, the power of faith gathered in him had a target and swarmed towards Liang Shixian's waist.
A golden-red belt took shape.
Emily: “…”
With such a good opportunity, you don't need to ignite the divine fire to condense the godhood, but just want a transformation belt? !
The next moment, the several martial arts that Liang Shixian majored in merged into one under the powerful pressure, and the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill that Ji Ruo taught him directly entered the second level - Vajra Body Training!
Not only that, Liang Shixian also reached the peak of the Qi and Veins realm, and the star cluster in his Dantian began to take shape.
"Transform!"
Liang Shixian roared, dazzling colorful light flashed, and phantoms of armor appeared around Liang Shixian.
Liang Shixian was blessed with a heart: "Diamond Armor! Combine!"
The next moment, the armor combined and the transformation was completed. With the blessing of the diamond armor, the bishop's blood curse could no longer have any effect on Liang Shixian.
But Liang Shixian had no more strength left, and he fell into a coma with his arms outstretched to protect his back.
Although Emily felt it was a pity that Liang Shixian failed to ignite the divine fire, she couldn't help but take a few more glances at Liang Shixian's diamond armor.
"But... it's really handsome, I want one too..."
…
“Damn it!”
Because of Liang Shixian's obstruction, the bishop used the blood curse to suck blood for a long time, but only sucked a few drops of blood. Moreover, it was the impure waste blood discharged by Liang Shixian when he was refining his body. It could not be used to replenish his vitality at all.
The desperate bishop has become extremely old. If he cannot be replenished, he will be drained by the Eye of Truth!
Although his faith was firm, he did not want to die.
Moreover, he has not yet completed the mission assigned by the Eternal Truth...
"Damned pagan, just guard those bastards!" the bishop roared, "For the great eternal truth, everyone, now is the time for you to dedicate yourself!
Don't worry, your sacrifice will not be in vain, you will become the cornerstone for the advent of the eternal truth, and the eternal truth will reward us and allow us to go to His Kingdom of God! "
When the believers who were struggling with Shira heard this, most of them shouted without hesitation: "For the eternal truth!"
Then he gave up resistance, letting the bishop's blood curse suck all the blood out of his body, and turned into a dried corpse with a fanatical expression.
But there is still a small number of people who would rather survive than make contributions to the gods.
But, it's useless.
The Eye of Truth branded on the bishop's forehead has completely crystallized, but because of this, the bishop's vitality is almost exhausted, so he is so crazy.
The small number of believers who did not want to dedicate themselves were simply unable to resist the power of the bishop's blood curse at this moment.
No matter how unwilling I am, it is useless. I can only watch in despair as the blood in my body leaves my body.
Looking at the blood rain that was carrying a vast vitality, the bishop's original eyes flashed with brilliance.
However--
Sheila sneered, "You're using necromancy to replenish your vitality in front of me. Isn't that a bit too contemptuous of me?"
"What are you going to do!" The bishop's face changed.
"Just get it clear, I'm the only necromancer here!"
As Sheila spoke, she used magic to seize control of the blood rain.
"No!"
The bishop's eyes widened.
Because of Liang Shixian's presence on the girl's side, his blood curse could not absorb anything.
Meanwhile, above, the blood rain squeezed from the believers was taken away from the control of the professional necromancer, Sheila, and was suspended in the void, with no intention of falling down.
The Eye of Truth does not care whether the bishop lives or dies. Once the ceremony begins, it will not stop.
Feeling his life force slipping away rapidly, the bishop was horrified: "No! Don't! Great eternal truth, I am your most devout believer, you can't do this to me!"
Eternal Truth has no answer.
The Eye of Truth descends completely crystallized.
The bishop's vitality was thus exhausted, his expression became dull, and when the wind blew, his old body turned into countless ashes and dissipated.
The Eye of Truth, having lost the human body that carried it, had no one to control it after it descended, and could not even float, and fell to the ground.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
At this time, Ji Ruo pushed away the rubble on his body, climbed out of the ruins, and muttered softly: "It seems that the airtightness needs to be improved... Huh?"
A crystal divine pupil fell freely and landed at Ji Ruo's feet.
Ji Ruo's gaze followed the movement of the crystallized divine pupil until it smashed into the dust.
"This is..."
Ji Ruo's consciousness scanned the surroundings and he scratched his head: "Is it over? All the equipment has been dropped, so it should be over, right?"
After thinking about it, Ji Ruo bent down and picked up the crystal-like divine pupils, which reflected countless knowledge. Just one look at them made people feel refreshed.
Ji Ruo held the crystal pupil close to his eyes and squinted at it: "I never thought that Zhenli's eyes have such serious glaucoma and cataracts. Tsk tsk, he also has astigmatism, and it seems that the degree is not very low..."
Countless knowledge flows in the crystal-like divine pupils, trying to seduce Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo thought about it, then walked towards Liang Shixian with his crystal-like divine pupil.
"Hey, squad leader, you look really handsome!" Ji Ruo patted Liang Shixian on the shoulder: "It's just a little worse than what I'm wearing, not bad..."
"Bang~"
Liang Shixian maintained that posture and fell on his back.
Ji Ruo: “???”
Could this be the legendary fraud?
