All eyes turned to Zhang Yuan.
It was a magical armor resembling a tortoise shell, with wondrous patterns on it. As Zhang Yuan put on the armor, four words suddenly appeared in his mind: Spirit Tortoise Armor!
When Zhang Yuan touched the Spirit Turtle Armor, he felt a thick and ancient sensation, as if it were the armor of an ancient warrior. Although it looked heavy, it felt light as if it had no weight when worn.
The armor felt warm to the touch and was extremely comfortable to wear, giving Zhang Yuan a strange sense of security!
After a few breaths, the armor covered Zhang Yuan's body and then disappeared, disappearing into his body and becoming invisible. However, Zhang Yuan could feel that his body had an extra layer of comfortable, thin armor.
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed!
What a stroke of good luck!
But then I thought about it again, and it must be related to the fact that he broke the formation of the Spirit Turtle Immortal's cave.
Inside the ruins, everyone could see the extraordinary nature of the armor Zhang Yuan was wearing, and they all had designs on it. Among them, the young man in sunglasses was the first to make a move!
If we can't have it, then we'll just steal it!
He flew in from a distance and struck Zhang Yuan with a palm!
Zhang Yuan channeled his inner energy and unleashed a punch as well.
boom!
The young man in sunglasses was thrown backward by the shock.
"How can you be so strong!"
The young man in sunglasses looked utterly incredulous.
Zhang Yuan grinned, not telling him that he had actually already broken through to the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Both being at the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, Zhang Yuan had also mastered the Demon Clan's Blazing Palm. When used at full power, he was no less powerful than a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. Therefore, it was not surprising that he could send the sunglasses-wearing youth, who was at the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, flying with a single palm strike.
The young man in sunglasses, Xia Zhen, was knocked away. The eagle demon also flew over, and dozens of feathers turned into arrows that shot towards Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan threw out a fire talisman, burning away all the hundreds of arrow-like feathers.
The moment the feathers were burned, the eagle demon swooped down from low altitude and unleashed a palm strike!
Zhang Yuan reacted swiftly, using the Azure Cloud Step to unleash a palm strike.
Boom!
The eagle demon's wings transformed into arms clashed with Zhang Yuan's, resulting in a draw. The two exchanged dozens of blows in a very short time, remaining evenly matched.
The rogue cultivator carrying the gourd originally wanted to go up and compete for the armor, but seeing Zhang Yuan's domineering and fierce manner, he stopped in his tracks and instead retreated to watch from a distance.
Whether it's the eagle demon or the sunglasses-wearing youth, their strength far surpasses his. He'd better not get involved in this mess!
The young man in sunglasses, Xia Zhen, the genius of the Xia family, saw the eagle demon and Zhang Yuan fighting fiercely and worried that the eagle demon would steal the Spirit Turtle Armor, so he rushed up again and joined the melee.
Although the Eagle Demon is a demon race member at the mid-stage of the Demon General realm, the ruins have limited his strength, and he was injured in the previous illusion barrier. Therefore, he can currently only exert the strength of the peak of the Meridian Opening realm.
boom!
Spiritual energy shot across the grassland, rippling out terrifying waves. Even with the combined efforts of the eagle demon and Xia Zhen, they were unable to subdue Zhang Yuan for a time!
On the other side, the two disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, the two men in black robes with strange crescent moons on their foreheads, the senior brother and his junior brother exchanged a glance, whispered something, and then shouted, "Young brother, we're here to help you!"
"What kind of heroes are two against one!"
Two men in black robes flew up, smiled slightly at Zhang Yuan, and then glared angrily at the eagle demon and Xia Zhen, as if they were ready to die with Zhang Yuan.
After Zhang Yuan broke through the formation of the ruins, the cracks grew larger and larger, and the eagle demon's strength was also rapidly recovering. It was almost back to the strength of the initial stage of the demon general!
Therefore, the eagle demon didn't care about the two gray-robed clowns. At worst, it would just steal the spirit turtle armor and kill the two clowns together.
The eagle demon threw another punch, its fist transforming in mid-air into an even sharper claw like an iron hook. Zhang Yuan dared not be careless, nor did he dare to hold back his strength, and threw a punch with all his might.
Bang!
Just as Zhang Yuan and the eagle demon were locked in a fierce battle, Song Zhimin, the senior brother of the Xiaoyao Sect who had reached the Meridian Opening Realm, pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Zhang Yuan!
His junior brother also drew a short sword and stabbed at Zhang Yuan at the same time.
The gleaming dagger and broken sword were forcefully plunged into Zhang Yuan's back!
Song Zhimin burst into laughter.
But the next moment, the Spirit Turtle Armor flashed with dark light, and the dagger and short sword shattered with a clang.
Enraged, Zhang Yuan punched the eagle demon away, then turned around and killed a gray-robed cultivator with a single palm strike. He then used the Azure Cloud Step technique to appear beside Song Zhimin and struck again.
He unleashed his full power with a fiery palm strike, and a phantom of a golden tiger followed his fist toward Song Zhimin. Song Zhimin was shocked and summoned a diamond-shaped shield magic weapon.
Click.
The diamond-shaped shield shattered, and a phantom tiger pounced on Song Zhimin's chest, nearly killing him with a single blow.
The latter bled profusely and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up!
The overwhelming power of the Blazing Palm shocked everyone present!
The rogue cultivator carrying the large cyan gourd on his back was thankful that he hadn't made a move earlier; if that palm had hit him, his bones would probably have been shattered!
The eagle demon's eyes narrowed.
Finally, I've figured out the trickery in Zhang Yuan's palm technique!
"You actually know the palm techniques of the tiger demon clan!"
"So, you killed the tiger demon!!"
The eagle demon's eyes blazed with fury, and before Zhang Yuan could answer, it flew up and attacked again!
Inside the ruins, the aftershocks of the battle accelerated the breaking of the ruins' barrier, causing countless cracks to appear in the sky, which continued to widen, even revealing the true blue sky outside the barrier.
As the formation broke and the barrier shattered, the eagle demon's strength increased once again, returning to the initial stage of the demon general realm, and its strength was still slowly increasing.
The eagle demon fought fiercely and faster and faster. Several times, its claws directly grabbed Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan was protected by the Spirit Turtle Armor, so he was not injured!
With the defensive capabilities of the Spirit Turtle Armor and the offensive boost from the Tiger Clan Palm Technique, Zhang Yuan and the Eagle Demon fought to a draw.
On the other side, Xia Zhen saw that the situation was not good and was worried that the eagle demon would regain its strength and steal the spirit turtle armor. Therefore, he stopped hiding his strength and took out the magic weapon treasured by the Xia family from his storage space!
Moon Sword!
The sloping back of the crescent-shaped sword has a long, slender blade, resembling a curved dagger, with blood grooves carved into the blade.
With the Moon Sword in hand, Xia Zhen's aura rose to a new level. Relying on this family artifact, even though Xia Zhen had only recently entered the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, he could still unleash attacks at the peak of the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Although the explosive power of the Blazing Palm is strong enough to allow Zhang Yuan, who is in the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, to fight against the Eagle Demon, who is in the early stage of the Demon General Realm, Zhang Yuan has not yet truly reached the Golden Core Realm. His true energy is not as much as that of a Golden Core cultivator. Although he is protected by the Spirit Turtle Armor, the Eagle Demon cannot do anything to him for the time being. However, the use of the Spirit Turtle Armor also requires a certain amount of true energy, so it is not advisable to fight for a long time. Otherwise, it is really hard to say who will win or lose!
At this moment, Zhang Yuan fought four opponents single-handedly within the ruins, having already killed the attacking junior disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, severely injured Song Zhimin of the Xiaoyao Sect, and then fought against the Eagle Demon and Xia Zhen. His internal energy was severely depleted.
Although in the eyes of other cultivators, Zhang Yuan was a powerful and invincible force who could kill in all directions, in reality, his internal energy was nearly exhausted and he was almost at his limit.
Zhang Yuan exchanged another palm strike with the eagle demon. Just as they separated, Xia Zhen swung his longsword from behind and slashed at them. Although Zhang Yuan was aware of the danger behind him, he was still a beat too slow because he couldn't replenish his true energy.
The moon sword struck Zhang Yuan!
Clang!
The Spirit Turtle Armor reappeared, emitting bursts of dark light, easily blocking the Moon Sword's attack.
Zhang Yuan was thrown away by the powerful recoil force due to the exhaustion of his true energy.
Xia Zhen was surprised to see that Zhang Yuan was unharmed after taking a sword strike.
Even a second-tier high-grade moon sword couldn't break through the armor's defense!
Therefore, this set of dark armor is of very high quality!
In the cultivation world, magical artifacts are classified into three grades: first, second, third, etc.
The higher the grade, the greater the power.
Magical artifacts are relatively rare in the human realm, so each one is very precious. Second-tier high-grade magical artifacts like the Moon Sword, which allow users at the Meridian Opening Realm to unleash power beyond their own, are extremely rare!
This demonstrates the extraordinary nature and preciousness of the armor!
While Xia Zhen was shocked, his covetousness for Zhang Yuan's armor grew even stronger.
Zhang Yuan staggered to his feet, then with a wave of his hand, swallowed several low-level True Qi Pills and Body Protection Pills. The low-level True Qi Pills transformed into wisps of spiritual energy that entered his body, replenishing the True Qi in his dantian.
"Since you're going to kill me anyway, don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhang Yuan swallowed the pill, and after a brief period of meditation, he swayed and appeared beside Xia Zhen.
Because Zhang Yuan was too fast, Xia Zhen panicked and instinctively swung his sword at Zhang Yuan. However, Xia Zhen was only at the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, while Zhang Yuan, who had mastered the Blazing Palm and Azure Cloud Steps, could unleash the strength of the early Golden Core Realm. Although he was currently lacking in true energy, he was still more than capable of dealing with Xia Zhen.
Zhang Yuan dodged the Moon Sword and simultaneously unleashed a palm strike. Before Xia Zhen could even see how Zhang Yuan attacked, he was struck in the chest and the Moon Sword was snatched from his hand!
