Nine Astra Skies

The Sand Beast seemed to be made of sand and stone. With an incomparably sturdy build, he was five, six meters tall. That roar was like a tsunami crashing against a mountain, causing everyone’s face to turn slack with shock.

This was a Daemon King!

A peak, god-like existence of this world!

Each time a Daemon King showed up in the world, it meant a catastrophic disaster. There were many legends regarding Daemon Kings, but few had witnessed one themselves.

These Mystique Rank experts came from various groups. Although they had met the Daemon King fighters of their factions, they had rarely seen a Daemon King attack. When a Daemon King attacked, the sky would turn overcast and the weather itself would transform.

“What terrifying power.”

“It’s too frightening!”

Boundless fear surged up within the hearts of the surrounding Mystique Rank fighters. Their hair stood on end, quivering with tension.

“Just a trace of their might is enough to make me feel crushed. That person is in the center of all that force. I can only imagine the pressure he’s under!”

“He’s a goner!”

“The two Celestial Beast Daemon Kings and three mystical beast Daemon Kings of the Sand Beast Clan have all arrived. How could he possibly survive?”

“Provoking the Sand Beast Clan is truly unfortunate. They can’t be reasoned with and will immediately corner and kill you!”

The spectators could not withstand this fearsome pressure. “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh”– they soared into the air, watching from the sky, hundreds of meters away.

Currently, Ye Chen, who was in the middle of the five Daemon Kings, experienced a matchless overbearing pressure filling the air and covering him. His bones creaked as if on the verge of snapping. He looked up and saw the two Sand Beasts, condensed from Psyches, roared as they plunged downward.

Despite being faced with such terrifying pressure, the current Ye Chen was abnormally calm. He glanced up with an icy smile. “Elder Sha Moling of the Sand Beast Clan, if you can’t kill me, you’ll chop off your arm. Don’t go back on your word!”

“Little punk, still spouting so much nonsense before your demise. Die!” The Sand Beast formed by Sha Moling lunged forward, swiping down with its gleaming claws.

With a “buzz”, Ye Chen’s Ternary Sword Array was swept aside.

Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi cultivation base was too low. The Ternary Sword Array under his control could contend against mid-Daemon Kings at most. As for Sha Moling, he was a peak Daemon King Rank existence. With his strength, he did not need to fear Ye Chen’s Ternary Sword Array at all!

Along with the Sand Beast’s single smack, there was a loud “boom”. Dust and dirt filled the air, just like a fearsome gale.

The area where Ye Chen stood was fully leveled over dozens of meters.

“It’s too scary. Is this what a Daemon King’s attack is like?”

“Is this person dead or not?”

“I can’t tell, the gale is too strong!”

“Under such a formidable blow from this Daemon King, this fellow must be smashed to a pulp!”

“Daemon Kings can’t be made enemies!”

When they saw Ye Chen being struck by the Daemon King’s palm, the surrounding observers were gripped by distress. This person was probably dead. The Sand Beast Clan was really too tyrannical and bullying. The might of a Daemon King was endlessly astounding to them.

However, after the massive Sand Beast created by Sha Moling slammed down his palm, he did not look pleased and frowned instead. Sha Moling sensed that Ye Chen’s energy did not dissipate under his palm energy. Conversely, a forceful aggressive aura shot up from the gale into the sky.

“My goodness, he’s still alive!”

“Quick, take a look!”

Their gazes were instantly focused on the center of the gale. As they watched, the cloud of dust and smoke slowly settled and a purple glow emerged from its midst.

Purple glow?

What was that purple glow?

“This guy has sustained such a brutal attack. Could he still be alive?”

“What kind of person is he?”

“Is he also a supreme fighter from some major faction?”

Sha Moling scoffed coldly. Along with the other Celestial Beast Daemon King’s Psyche, he locked his attention firmly upon Ye Chen in the center of the gale. As for the other three mystical beast Daemon Kings, they had formed a triangle with Ye Chen in the center. When Sha Moling’s Psyche fixed upon Ye Chen, his expression changed as he muttered incredulously, “That’s…”

The dust settled. A figure stood loftily in the center of the storm. His head was held high, his chest puffed out, and he was covered fully in purple armor. The form of this armor was exquisite and flawless. It glimmered dazzlingly.

The surrounding crowd immediately began clamoring.

“What am I seeing? My goodness!”

“It’s the Purple Demon Armor!”

“He has a full suit of Purple Demon Armor!”

Their expressions could no longer remain calm as their gazes converged upon Ye Chen. Their mouths dropped so wide that an egg could fit in there.

“What’s the Purple Demon Armor?” Some independent cultivators, who did not belong to any factions, asked the people beside them.

“You can’t imagine the value of a suit of Purple Demon Armor. Whether it’s Tier Eight or Tier Nine, it’s the target of the struggle between many factions. Presently, the only person who’s known to have assembled a full suit of Purple Demon Armor is Bi Lin of the Thunder Beast Clan. She’s a super existence at Grand Supreme Attainment Level. We’re not even qualified to glance at her from afar. To think that we would encounter the second set of Purple Demon Armor here!”

“Once the Purple Demon Armor is used, it’ll be linked to the user’s bloodline. Not even a peak Daemon King fighter can break a suit of Tier Eight Purple Demon Armor unless they have a special weapon. As for the Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor, it’s even able to withstand the attacks of Grand Supreme and Peerless Stage fighters!”

“Not even a peak Daemon King can break it?” The crowd inhaled sharply through their teeth.

“Of course! Among the various ancient armors, the defense of the Purple Demon Armor ranks at the top!”

“In my view, this Purple Demon Armor isn’t the scariest thing. Presently, various factions are fighting for the Purple Demon Armor. Most of them could only get one or two components, yet this person has gathered a full set amid such intense competition. The faction behind him must be rather astonishing!”

The appearance of the second full suit of Purple Demon Armor was an immense surprise to everyone. There were at least a few Psyches of Celestial Beast Daemon Kings that came over, wishing to see who the owner of this Purple Demon Armor was, and how the battle between him and the Sand Beast Clan would end.

Although they were greedy enough to snatch the Purple Demon Armor for themselves, they held themselves in check. First, they would see how the Sand Beast Clan fared. This person who wore the Purple Demon Armor must have a considerable background.

When Sha Moling and the rest saw the full suit of Purple Demon Armor Ye Chen was wearing, they were flabbergasted as well. A deep, dark glint of envy and greed shone in their eyes. This was the incomparably powerful Purple Demon Armor! They knew very well how precious a full suit of Purple Demon Armor was!

Ye Chen stood in mid-air, sensing the various defensive spells over his body and a deep sense of security. That previous blow of Sha Moling must be said to be astonishing. That was an attack, full of fury, from a peak Daemon King existence. When Sha Moling’s palm landed upon Ye Chen’s body, Ye Chen had sensed many ripples spreading over the Purple Demon Armor. There were no fewer than six spell barriers that were activated. Sha Moling’s attack was defused, layer by layer. When the impact finally reached his body, it was nothing more than a gentle, tickling touch.

“This suit of Purple Demon Armor is formidable indeed! As expected of a masterpiece from the Purple Eye Clan!” Ye Chen gasped in disbelief and admiration.

This suit of Purple Demon Armor consisted of three Tier Nine components. Therefore, forget about peak Daemon Kings, even fighters at grade one or two Boundless Stage would find it difficult to break through! Sha Moling could do nothing against Ye Chen who wore the Purple Demon Armor!

“Elder Sha Moling, you said you’ll chop off an arm. Don’t renege on your vow! Although I know that those from the Sand Beast Clan can quickly grow out a broken arm, I’ll be delighted enough to see Elder Sha slicing off his arm!” Ye Chen said with a breezy smile, staring at the Sand Beast materialized from Sha Moling’s Psyche.

Sha Moling almost vomited blood when he heard Ye Chen’s tone.

“Little punk, even if you’re supported by a great faction like the Tribunal Council or the Thunder Beast Clan, the Sand Beast Clan is unafraid. If I don’t slay you right here and now, I, Sha Moling, will never rest!”

“I don’t believe that this Purple Demon Armor can withstand the consecutive attacks of us five Daemon Kings!”

“Kill!”

Two bloodthirsty auras darkened the sky and descended. The three mystical beast Daemon Kings rose in the air too. Gust after gust of palm energy thundered toward Ye Chen.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Waves of powerful palm energy rocked the sky. Those who stood hundreds of meters away could feel the bursts of suffocating pressure. They retreated and one Mystique Rank fighter had brushed against a stray jet of palm energy. There was a “bang” and that person coughed up blood as he was sent flying backward, grievously injured.

When the others saw this, their expressions transformed and they hurriedly retreated a kilometer away.

It was too frightening. It was just a collateral burst of palm energy, yet it could cause a Mystique Rank fighter a few hundred meters away to spit out blood. One could imagine the kind of terrifying force experienced by Ye Chen, who was enduring the simultaneous attacks of five Daemon Kings.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Upon the Purple Demon Armor, wave after wave of purple ripples spread out, just like the ripples caused by a rock thrown into water.

Under the storm of unforgiving blows, the purple luster of the Purple Demon Armor was so bright that it was almost blinding. Its rays filled the air, like a purple sun in the sky.

In this violent rain of attacks, Ye Chen who was protected by the Purple Demon Armor felt like he was being smacked by countless little kids. There was only a slight numb feeling.

Ye Chen’s head, legs, midsection, and even his dantian had taken serious hits. However, the protection of the Purple Demon Armor did not have the slightest crack. It was all the same no matter where the blows landed.

“What a powerful Purple Demon Armor.” Ye Chen was marveling at the might of the Purple Demon Armor. His was only a suit of Purple Demon Armor formed by a mix of Tier Eight and Tier Nine components. However, Bi Lin was wearing a complete suit of Tier Nine Purple Demon Armor. Her defense was more than a few times stronger than Ye Chen’s. Therefore, even Cang Lu, who was at grade seven Boundless Stage, was powerless against Bi Lin.

If one had a suit of Human Tier Purple Demon Armor, one would be unstoppable and unrivaled, invincible against anything!

After that wave of frantic attacks, Sha Moling and the rest were rather breathless. Despite their furious hail of attacks, the Purple Demon Armor did not budge in the slightest. The more they hit, the more astounded they were.

“Hey, Elder Sha, have you guys not eaten? How come you have no energy at all? Do you guys want to keep this up? If not, I’ll leave first. Elder Sha, don’t forget to slice off an arm!” Ye Chen’s indifferent voice rang out.

“Ahh! I’m pissed off!” When Sha Moling heard Ye Chen’s words, he practically puked up blood from anger. Like an enraged lion, his Psyche formed a Sand Beast and lunged toward Ye Chen once more.
