Chapter 949: Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor

Seeing Little Red collecting True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills, Princess Da Xi and Qing Feizi refused to fall behind and immediately flew into the Pill Sea, joining the scramble for the pills.
There were only slightly over 3,000 True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills in total, and since everyone wanted them, the competition quickly intensified.
As their cultivation grew stronger, the effects of the Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills diminished. The True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills were far purer and more potent, making them absolute treasures for beings in the True Human Realm. Each pill consumed could significantly boost one's cultivation.
The Golden Horn Demon King and the Silver Horn Demon King were stunned, barely able to react.
The Silver Horn Demon King roared, "Hey! Those were the Soul Spirit Pills Elder Yue gave us! How dare you snatch them first?"
"You're actually trying to reason with a group of women? We'd better hurry and grab some, or they'll take all the True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills!" The Golden Horn Demon King immediately flew into the Pill Sea, joining the frenzied competition.
In the end, Little Red acted the fastest, collecting over 1,400 True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills and a large number of Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills.
Princess Da Xi gathered more than 800 True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills and over 20,000 Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills.
Qing Feizi obtained over 300 True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills and more than 10,000 Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills.
The Golden Horn Demon King and the Silver Horn Demon King were a step too late, securing the fewest True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills—each taking just over 200, along with a substantial amount of Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills.
All 3,000-plus True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills were claimed, leaving behind more than 200,000 Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills untouched. These remaining pills were of lower quality, no longer appealing to the group.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ning Xiaochuan stored all 200,000-plus Heavenly Ghost Soul Spirit Pills into his Heaven and Earth Bracelet.
He planned to distribute them among the soldiers of the Jian Pavilion Marquis Manor. If he could forge an army composed of Heavenly Human Realm cultivators, it would undoubtedly become a formidable force.
Having collected the most True Ghost Soul Spirit Pills, Little Red was naturally overjoyed. She turned to Ling'er and asked, "Ling'er, we all found plenty of treasures in the Burial Ground of Weapons. What about you? Did you find anything good?"
Everyone's eyes fixed on Ling'er, curious about how many treasures she had acquired.
Ling'er glanced at Ning Xiaochuan, who gave her a slight nod. She then poured out a massive pile of War Weapon fragments from the Qiankun Ring on her finger—astonishingly, over 200 to 300 pieces.
Among them were 237 Supreme King Artifact fragments. Beyond that, there were also 12 nearly intact Supreme King Artifacts.
Each of these twelve Supreme King Artifacts was only slightly damaged. With careful reforging, they had a high chance of being restored to their complete forms, any one of which could serve as a Sacred Land's supreme treasure.
In addition to the Supreme King Artifacts, there were also 11 Supreme Imperial Artifact fragments and two damaged Supreme Imperial Artifacts.
The two damaged Supreme Imperial Artifacts could unleash 30% of their full power—rare and invaluable treasures.
The group was utterly dumbfounded. Compared to Ling'er's haul, their own finds seemed pitifully lacking in both quantity and quality.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
Comparison leads to frustration.
"How did you manage to find so many Broken Artifacts in such a short time?" Princess Da Xi stared at the treasures on the ground, her beautiful eyes shimmering with astonishment. After all, even with the Nine-Tailed Demon Queen's cultivation, she had only found over forty Supreme King Artifact fragments.
Fortunately, all the cultivators present were at least in the True Human Realm and had seen great things before. If it were a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator, seeing so many treasures at once would surely scare them half to death.
Ling'er pursed her lips, a shy smile appearing on her face as she said, "These Broken Artifacts were all gifts from my Godfather!"
The Golden Horn Demon King knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and sighed, "Having a Godfather makes all the difference. We can't compare."
Little Red licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Ling'er, you can't possibly use all these treasures. How about I help you keep them safe?"
Though she was still asking for Ling'er's opinion, her hands were already moving. In the blink of an eye, she had taken several nearly intact Supreme King Artifacts.
The Silver Horn Demon King had also intended to snatch some, but the moment he rushed forward, he let out a pained cry as Little Red punched him, sending him flying back and crashing several tens of meters away, dazed and disoriented.
At this moment, the most frantic was Great Monk Tanqian, who shouted, "Leave some for me! Leave some for this poor monk... Ning Xiaochuan, Benefactor Ning, spare this monk! I’ve decided to join you in exploring the Sealing God Ruins. Even if we face mountains of blades and seas of fire, I won’t so much as frown. Otherwise, I’ll lead the way for you—be the one who walks ahead, the one who clears the path, the one who bears the greatest dangers!"
Great Monk Tanqian was truly desperate. The treasures in the Sealing God Ruins were abundant, and one could casually pick up priceless artifacts. If he missed this opportunity, he would surely cry himself to death.
Ning Xiaochuan walked toward Great Monk Tanqian, pondering as he said, "Monk, are you truly willing to lead the way for us?"
In terms of cultivation, Great Monk Tanqian was the strongest among those present—perhaps even stronger than the Nine-Tailed Demon Queen.
Though the Sealing God Ruins held countless treasures, they were also fraught with peril, where fatal dangers could arise at any moment. Having a powerful figure to lead the way was indeed necessary.
Great Monk Tanqian nodded solemnly, adopting a compassionate expression. "The Buddha said, 'If I do not descend into hell, who will?'"
In truth, what he really thought was that while leading the way meant encountering dangers first, it also meant encountering treasures first.
Ning Xiaochuan frowned slightly. "You won’t change your mind halfway, will you?"
Great Monk Tanqian straightened his expression. "A monk does not speak false words. Benefactor Ning, do you truly distrust even this humble monk?"
Ning Xiaochuan nodded lightly. "Since your enlightenment runs so deep, I’ll release the seal within you."
Boom!
Ning Xiaochuan struck Great Monk Tanqian’s chest with a palm, undoing the seal within him.
Brilliant Buddhist Light immediately erupted from Great Monk Tanqian’s body, shattering the ropes binding him. Without hesitation, he charged into the Burial Ground of Weapons, clutching a golden alms bowl and greedily collecting every Broken Artifact he saw, like a starving man gorging himself.
How could this be a Buddhist Saint with profound cultivation?
Ning Xiaochuan had already reached the True Human Realm seventh stage. By borrowing the Divine Power of the Heavenly Dream Demon Emperor, he could unleash the combined strength of five peak-level Supreme Realm ninth-stage cultivators. Thus, he had no fear of Great Monk Tanqian playing tricks with his Heart Eye.
Ning Xiaochuan’s gaze turned to Yue Mingsong. "I found something rather unusual in the Burial Ground of Weapons. Take a look for me."
"Something unusual?" Yue Mingsong’s interest was immediately piqued.
Even before Ning Xiaochuan took it out, he already sensed that whatever it was must be extraordinary. After all, in the Sealing God Ruins, stumbling upon rare treasures was hardly surprising.
Ning Xiaochuan retrieved a palm-sized Blue Iron Sheet and handed it to Yue Mingsong.
The moment Yue Mingsong took it, even with just a cursory examination, he could tell the sheet was no ordinary object. His expression shifted slightly.
"My heavens, you actually found this!" Yue Mingsong’s eyes widened. "Did you find any other fragments?"
Little Red and Ling'er immediately crowded around, staring at the Blue Iron Sheet.
To the naked eye, it looked utterly unremarkable.
Ning Xiaochuan didn’t immediately produce the other fragments. "What exactly is this?"
Yue Mingsong said, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be a fragment of the 'Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor'! A treasure—an absolutely incredible treasure, comparable to a Supreme Imperial Artifact. For cultivators in the Supreme Realm and True Human Realm, it might even be more valuable than a Supreme Imperial Artifact."
"That powerful?" Little Red’s eyes widened, her lashes fluttering as she fought the urge to snatch the sheet right away.
Yue Mingsong continued, "None of you have been to the Divine Realm, so you wouldn’t have heard of the Divine Decree Warriors. They are the soldiers under the command of deities, the armies of gods, waging war across planets on their behalf. The armor they wear is none other than the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor."
"Like you’ve been to the Divine Realm!" Little Red shot Yue Mingsong a disdainful look, rolling her eyes.
Yue Mingsong ignored her and went on, "A True Human Realm cultivator wearing the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor can immediately unleash Supreme-level combat power. A Supreme Realm first-stage cultivator wearing it can instantly fight at the Supreme Realm ninth stage. Of course, for those at the Supreme Realm second stage… or even the eighth stage, wearing the armor will still only allow them to fight at the Supreme Realm ninth stage."
"The Supreme Realm ninth stage is the limit of the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor’s power."
"One could say, the lower the wearer’s cultivation, the greater the armor’s value. Moreover, its defensive capabilities are immense. Even a Creation Realm being would struggle to shatter it without the aid of a Quasi-God Artifact. There was once a Supreme Realm first-stage Divine Decree Warrior who, after donning the armor, withstood three strikes from a Creation Realm being without dying."
For a Creation Realm cultivator, a single finger could effortlessly crush a Supreme Realm first-stage cultivator.
Yet, with the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor, a Supreme Realm first-stage cultivator could endure three such strikes—proof of its terrifying defensive power.
"A True Human Realm living being wearing the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor can immediately unleash Supreme-level combat power?" The Golden Horn Demon King thought he had misheard, finding it hard to believe.
Supreme-level combat power was equivalent to that of a Demon Emperor, and the entire Northern Frontier had only nine Demon Emperors.
How could the Golden Horn Demon King not be thrilled?
"A Supreme Realm first-stage cultivator wearing the Divine Decree Supreme Battle Armor can unleash combat power equivalent to the Supreme Realm ninth stage?" Qing Feizi was equally astonished.
After all, before the Heavenly Dream Demon Emperor emerged, the strongest living beings on the Tianxu Continent were at the Supreme Realm ninth stage.
The Human Race's First World Master and the Demonic Beast Race's Taiqing Dragon Emperor, both at the Supreme Realm ninth stage, stood at the pinnacle of the continent, revered and worshipped by countless living beings.
