Chapter 464: Chapter 437: Three-Defense Treasure Armor

Once you’ve arrived, you’ve got to work. This is a given.

Wang Wu wasn’t hesitant either. He immediately donned the so-called Three-Defense Treasure Armor. And I must say, its defense capabilities were excellent, effectively resisting the erosion of the Three Calamities.

Once he’d changed, a peculiar small craft landed outside the fortress. It’s called peculiar because the sails of the boat were woven from Pale Fire. In this way, the Evil Wind fanning the Yin Fire complemented each other quite well.

Undoubtedly, this so-called Craftsmanship Department had long applied the power of the Three Calamities to practical use, much like electricity to Earthlings. Captured, mastered, and then utilized.

But this doesn’t prevent electricity from killing any Earth life that comes into direct contact with it.

Presumably, the same applies here.

Because the two individuals who jumped off the small craft were also wearing thick versions of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, and obviously strengthened ones.

“Master!”

One of them bowed to the old man, then affixed a Jade Talisman to Wang Wu’s Three-Defense Treasure Armor.

“I am Qin Wushuang. This Jade Talisman is your identity marker, similar to the Hidden Element Jade Talisman. You can use this to contact and locate us, but it has no teleportation function and lacks the protection of the Hidden Origin Bell. Meanwhile, it will also record relevant information, regardless of whether you intend to escape or cause trouble, or if I issue chaotic orders. Afterward, there will be evidence to verify.”

“Now, come with me!”

Qin Wushuang’s tone was very stiff, but Wang Wu didn’t mind. He jumped onto the small craft with him. The other person immediately used an Array Plate to control the Pale Fire-crafted sails, transforming the sails from single vertical sails into more complex, like “celestial maidens scattering flowers.” Without any Spiritual Qi operation, the wind drove them, and with a whoosh, they flew skyward.

The speed wasn’t slow, reaching about three to five hundred kilometers per hour.

Yes, not bad. In the backdrop of rampant Evil Winds, unless one possesses strength above that of a Taiyi True Immortal, who would dare operate Spiritual Qi and recklessly run about this place using Escape Divine Techniques?

Wang Wu surveyed the dreary, dimly-lit environment around him, feeling somewhat saddened.

The mountains were gone, the rivers were gone, the forests were gone, leaving only shifting sand dunes.

Instead, a few ruins of giant cities once built by Human Race Cultivators remained.

Back then, when the Snake Emperor led countless beings to breach the Celestial Palace and escape, in the end, fewer than thirty million successfully broke out.

The number of beings left in there is unknown.

Now they’ve presumably all been buried, with even their bones gone.

If the Snake Emperor were still alive, I wonder if he would regret it?

Of course, discussing this now is meaningless.

Wang Wu was merely lamenting.

Suddenly, without any warning, a golden Yang Thunderbolt fell from the sky over the wilderness. With a single strike, the Evil Winds within hundreds of miles ignited and immediately turned into a sky filled with Pale Fire.

The lightning also enveloped the small craft that Wang Wu and his companions were on. The electric light, like Thunder Serpents, rapidly danced on the hull, on the sails, on Qin Wushuang, Wang Wu, and the other person, making them appear somewhat mysterious and eerie, yet sacred and solemn.

Nothing changed; the small craft’s Three-Defense system was well constructed, and the defense performance of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor was excellent.

Such terrifying Yang Thunder was so close, yet it couldn’t harm me.

But this wasn’t a confrontation of Daoist Divine Techniques; it was a precise path of understanding patterns, researching them, confronting them, harnessing them, and promoting them—a rigorous path of cultivation science.

No need for the future; it’s already realized now.

This Yang Thunder, just like a beautiful scene along the journey, does nothing but please the eyes.

Traversing this area, the long white sails on the small craft once again changed, and the speed of the craft suddenly accelerated, gradually reaching over a thousand kilometers per hour. But this should be its limit.

Wang Wu could clearly feel that the faster the speed, the greater the erosion brought by the Evil Wind, and the likelihood of encountering Yang Thunder would also increase. Though there was still no life-threatening danger, the durability loss of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor exhibited a volatile increase.

Hmm, Wang Wu passed the time by using his Level 18 Spirit Essence Perception Divine Techniques to research the armor, finding it quite interesting.

The Four Clowns were also officially online, logging the comprehensive attributes of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, acquiring extremely detailed data. Anyone unaware might think this was just a piece of equipment in a game.

But in reality, this was all too normal. Wang Wu could repair even the hidden damage of his damaged Spirit Pill, and the Hidden Origin Bell’s base damage, so the trifling Three-Defense Treasure Armor was truly just a plaything.

About three hours later, they finally reached their destination.

And at this time, the comprehensive durability of the Three-Defense Treasure Armor Wang Wu wore had already decreased by 12%. This rate of decrease was rather fast, though it wasn’t apparent superficially.

Wang Wu didn’t mind, instead eagerly observing their camp.

Or rather, it was a construction site?

It was apparent that they were planning to build a massive tower-shaped structure, but the foundation was only just laid.

The entire perimeter of the construction was surrounded by materials used to make the Three-Defense Treasure Armor.

Around this structure, seven or eight disorderly forts of varying sizes were built.

These forts, each like a stout figure wearing five thick coats, looked both ugly and ridiculous, with a touch of humor amid the absurdity.

“Wang Zhige, you now have one day to set up a resting camp for yourself here. We will provide you with a portable cave mansion, but this thing can hardly withstand the invasion of Evil Wind and Yin Fire, so you have to find stones or abandoned Profound Iron blocks to block the outside. We will also provide you with a three-layer protective talisman curtain. Go quickly, and if you get lost, use the jade talisman to call for help, and we will rescue you!”

After disembarking from the ship, Qin Wushuang once again instructed Wang Wu to build his own place of residence.

This is quite interesting.

Wang Wu didn’t plan to be ostentatious. Swiping through the Three Calamities wasn’t urgent, given Song Guangming’s strange attitude. There might be a trap targeting him here, so he decided to first familiarize himself with the situation. As long as he could steadily go through the Three Calamities, complete tasks, and maintain his regular cultivation, that would be enough. This time, he would endure as much as possible.

Next, he obediently began to search around the area.

The Evil Wind here was still very fierce, stirring up the yellow sand everywhere, with the Evil Wind Bone Plague at least reaching the Sixth Stage.

Even tough rocks couldn’t last long under the day-and-night erosion of the Evil Wind.

Only Profound Iron or rocks buried beneath the yellow sand could temporarily be spared.

Unfortunately, all the Profound Iron in Wang Wu’s Qiankun Bag had been looted, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome.

At this moment, he directly used Spirit Essence Perception, penetrating the thick yellow sand to search for rocks below.

The result wasn’t difficult to find, because this place, buried under yellow sand, was actually the ruins of a giant city, though mostly buried hundreds or even thousands of meters deep.

This was certainly not a challenge for Wang Wu. An Earth Escape Divine Technique would take him down, but the next second he was stunned.

Because he couldn’t perform it.

This Three-Defense Treasure Armor not only blocked the erosion of the Three Calamities but also nearly isolated all his Innate and Acquired power. For instance, if he wanted to perform Earth Escape, he would either have to remove the armor or dig down himself.

There was no third choice.

This is truly interesting.

With a sudden thought, Wang Wu first laboriously dug a big pit in the yellow sand and then, like swimming, wriggled for a moment until the sand completely buried him.

At this point, he plucked a strand of top-grade hair and threw it out through the gap in the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, transforming it into another Wang Wu. Taking a Qiankun Bag, he performed Earth Escape to the ruins of the giant city below, making several trips and scavenging thousands of blocks of giant stones, as well as large amounts of abandoned Profound Iron.

He wouldn’t even need a whole day for this.

Wang Wu happily received the Qiankun Bag, ready to retract the top-grade hair, only to see, without any warning, the strand of top-grade hair spontaneously disintegrate like sand and vanish!

This scene made Wang Wu’s scalp tingle!

What the hell!

Even though he was under a Blood Curse now, all five demon pills had advanced to the Second Grade, making his strength equivalent to a solid Tier Five Earth Immortal. But this strand of top-grade hair should at least have Tier Three Earth Immortal strength, yet it only lasted about a minute before disintegrating?

No, this wasn’t an ordinary Evil Wind; it was a far more terrifying Evil Wind that could elevate the Evil Wind Bone Plague to the Eighth Stage!

“New here? You’re quite bold, aren’t you? This isn’t how you use an External Incarnation; this place is filled with Level 8 Evil Wind. How many External Incarnations do you have to withstand such wear and tear?”

A jovial voice sounded from not far away, and then a figure crawled out from a sand dune, holding a peculiar rope, with one end tied to a giant stone.

Oh boy, did this fellow really rely on his physical strength to dig underground bit by bit and bring up this giant stone?

In other words, this place must have completely forbidden techniques!

Because any Daoist Divine Techniques might not be able to withstand the erosion of this Evil Wind.

While pondering, the figure was already carrying the giant stone, taking large strides toward the camp direction.

Wang Wu hurriedly followed.

He also noticed that this giant stone, at least as high as three floors, started weathering rapidly on its surface shortly after being pulled out of the sand.

By the time that person carried it back to the camp, a third of it was already gone.

What formidable Evil Wind!

What formidable Three-Defense Treasure Armor.

The person dashed directly into the biggest fortress. Upon approaching, Wang Wu noticed that the fortress, covered under the yellow sand, was actually draped with a curtain imprinted with numerous runes. This item was as thin as a cicada’s wing, almost invisible to the naked eye, but it could very effectively block the erosion of the Evil Wind.

Moreover, it was clearly shielded by an array.

Wang Wu quickly followed the person inside, instantly feeling the power of the Evil Wind drop by over ninety percent.

The person first handed the giant stone to Qin Wushuang, then promptly removed the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, waving a radiant light over it, seemingly for maintenance.

“Brother, what are you waiting for? Without the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, you can’t take a step in this wretched place. This is our lifeline; quickly nourish it with spiritual energy…”

Before the person finished speaking, Qin Wushuang coldly glanced over, “Wang Zhige, unless you’re here to hand over mission items, you don’t have the right to nourish the Three-Defense Treasure Armor here!”

Wang Wu was taken aback. Could Qin Wushuang be related to Senior Sister Qin? He seemed very displeased with him, yet he still needed to inquire for clarification.

“Could you please explain what this means?”
