Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 486 - 485 Dragon Armor
Three days ago, in an underground cavern outside Nanshan City.
All around were chaotic equipment, dripping bloodstains, and various shattered, twisted, unrecognizable remains of flesh.
Deeper within the cavern, a series of piercing, miserable screams continued to resound.
Wei Cang, seeing Wei Mang being pulled out from the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, bloodied all over, gaunt to the bone, almost deformed, immediately rushed over and embraced his son tightly.
On the other side, the Mystic Lady gazed at the immobile Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, its surface covered in broken flesh and severed tendrils, and she exhaled deeply, "Finally, it's a success, thankfully Sun Jingping agreed to our deal and sent over the tools and magical treasures I needed."
Wei Cang, looking at his son who remained unconscious in his arms, asked urgently, "How is Wei Mang's condition? Can he recover?"
The Mystic Lady's gaze remained on the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, and without looking back, she said, "Wei Mang's life isn't in danger. However, having been entangled with the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor for 20 years, he has already undergone complete mutation. Even if he wakes up, I'm afraid he won't be the son you remember."
Upon hearing this, Wei Cang's face turned pale. This was an outcome he had anticipated, but he still couldn't help asking, "Is there... any chance he could recover?"
If it had been before, the Mystic Lady would have certainly said that Wei Mang could not recover, that mutation was irreversible, and what's wrong with being a mutated being, as they are the future of the world, the protagonists of the heavens and earth.
But after the incident with Zhou Bai, the Mystic Lady's character had changed a lot, and she said, "There's a certain possibility. If given enough resources and time, I might be able to restore his human form."
For Wei Cang, teetering on the brink of despair, this was the sole light in the darkness, a sliver of hope, much like a lifeline he clung to with all his might, refusing to let go.
Wei Cang nodded, "Whatever you need to do, I will support you fully, as long as you can heal Wei Mang."
The Mystic Lady smiled, stroked Wei Mang's head, and said, "Don't worry, with me here, there won't be a problem."
After comforting Wei Cang, the Mystic Lady turned her head back to continue observing the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor.
Using her research on mutated beings and her unique powers, she forcibly separated the armor and person. Now, the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor was for other ordinary cultivators a continuously distorting evil object, one that would devour any wearer's mutations. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
But to the Mystic Lady, it was a piece of exquisite mystic armor.
"The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor was crafted a thousand years ago during the great war between humans and demons by the Evil Sect, who captured and killed a nether dragon. It was created to enable humanity's top warriors to slay those most powerful demons, even preparing them to fight directly against demon immortals."
"And now, ever since Heavenly Dao became distorted, this nine-realm armor has contained increasingly severe twists, but it has also gained power far beyond ordinary magical treasures."
The Mystic Lady, caressing the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, said, "Don't be afraid, I am your companion. Let me help you."
A desolate whisper emerged from the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor: "Why..."
"Why must you kill me..."
"Save me..."
"Who will save me..."
The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor was created by the Evil Sect through a process of flaying a nether dragon, grinding its horns and scales, and then being forged by over a hundred cultivators over ten years to create this nine-realm armor.
For humanity, it was a cause for celebration.
But for the nether dragon that was slain, it was nothing short of a deeply cruel tragedy.
To him, it was as if he was comfortably lying at home when suddenly a group of people burst in, grabbed him, killed him, flayed him, and turned him into a suit of armor.
After the Heavenly Dao twisted, the lingering will within the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor awoke in a distorted manner, seeking to unleash its resentment on every wearer of the armor.
At this moment, as whispers emanated from the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, the pitch-black armor began to shake violently, and tentacles covered in thick green liquid emerged, wildly thrashing about.
But under the soothing comfort of the Mystical Lady, the lingering will of the dragon seemed to gradually settle down.
Mystical Lady: "Don't be afraid, we are companions, we are family, I will protect you..."
Watching the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor gradually become calm, the Mystical Lady slowly reached out her palm.
Mystical Lady: "Let me see your power."
Then she saw the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor in front of her tremble slightly, and the next moment, the various parts of the armor split apart, with countless tentacles extending from within.
Like giant beetles, they crawled onto the Mystical Lady's body, covering her completely, and automatically wrapped around her.
The Mystical Lady could clearly feel that the entire Abyss Nether Dragon Armor seemed to swallow her whole.
The armor clung to her body, constantly morphing, not only completely enveloping her body without any gaps, but also like a tight skin that clung to her, in no way hindered her movement.
Her entire body was enveloped in the black armor, and even her head had a pair of dragon horn-like features; the Mystical Lady now looked demonically enchanting, her very sight inducing fear and agitation in the beholder's heart.
Meanwhile, the Mystical Lady felt no discomfort from wearing the armor, as if she was wearing nothing at all, still moving with unparalleled freedom.
She could also feel the armor closely connecting with her body, with boundless strength continuously pouring into her from within the armor, enhancing her physical capabilities and power.
"This power!" The Mystical Lady felt the majestic might of the armor of the ninth realm, like tidal waves surging through her veins.
"With the enhancement of the armor, my physical strength is probably not much different from a ninth-realm warrior."
"I was right, distortion and aberration are the future. The Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, after being twisted, possesses far greater power than before."
The Mystical Lady smiled slightly, and in the next blink, she had already appeared before Cang Ming, pointing out gently, like an unparalleled swordsman, a finger thrust toward Cang Ming's heart.
Wei Cang struck back with a palm, his vast Primordial Spirit force colliding with the Mystical Lady's sword finger, but in the next instant, with a loud bang, the Mystical Lady's finger, wrapped in the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor, directly burst Wei Cang's Primordial Spirit force.
Wei Cang's eyes flashed, and in an instant, six kinds of power converged on his fist, a giant wheel phantom emerging behind him.
This wheel was ten times more substantial than the one Sun Jingping manifested when he used the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, as if it were a real massive wheel, stirring the cycle of reincarnation, reaping lives.
In the next instant, a Six Paths Reincarnation Fist struck the Mystical Lady.
The Mystical Lady was about to teleport away when suddenly, upon a second thought, she decided to test the armor's defensive power.
Then, she stood still allowing Wei Cang's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist to hit her body.
Her body shook slightly, and amidst a muffled sound, she staggered back while the ground beneath her trembled violently, as if by a minor earthquake.
Aside from retreating, the Mystical Lady directly facing the hit felt hardly any discomfort, taking Wei Cang's punch head-on, which even surprised Wei Cang.
'This armor on the Mystical Lady is much more powerful than when Wei Mang wore it.'
