【One, Great Blood Sacrifice Armor (Epic): Constitution +150, Spirit +20, Mobility -1, High Defense. Activates Great Blood Sacrifice, absorbing the Blood Qi of living beings within a minimum 100-meter radius to strengthen the wearer's comprehensive attributes. Specific effects depend on the wearer's overall attributes.】

【Two, Death Omen Star·Demonic Battle Armor (Epic): Constitution +130, Spirit +30, Mobility -1, High Defense. The Death Omen Star Aura continuously deals massive damage to enemies within 30 meters. Specific effects depend on the wearer's overall attributes.】

【Three, Demon Emperor Heavy Armor (Epic): The Bloodfiend Battle Armor extends into seven integrated heavy armor set components. Each component has different attributes. Subsequently, the equipment level of all components collectively drops to Level 13, recovering 1 level per day thereafter.】

The evolution potential of the Bloodfiend Battle Armor was quite good. All three options were Epic-grade.

Xu Lang stood in place. The Bloodfiend Battle Armor shimmered with light as it leveled up, glowing to its utmost extreme at this moment, making him resemble a blood-red sphere of light.

"The first armor set is good. It absorbs Blood Qi to strengthen my own attributes. When my own attributes are higher, I can absorb Blood Qi from living beings in an even wider range. It can stack."

"The second set is average. I have Immortal Fire, so I don't lack sustained damage."

"The third set..."

Xu Lang quickly skimmed through the specific attributes of the first two equipment sets, then carefully examined the third option.

Afterwards, he chose the Demon Emperor Heavy Armor without the slightest hesitation!

Upon selection, the Bloodfiend Battle Armor on his body emitted cracking and shattering sounds. Particles of light scattered everywhere in the space like bursting glass shards.

The Demon Emperor Heavy Armor extended, covering Xu Lang's chest, head, face, shoulders, hands, legs, and feet, pushing aside his original equipment.

This set of armor was exceptionally imposing. The purple armor body was ferocious and domineering, its surface rippling with dark purple energy waves like water, as if the armor was breathing.

The headpiece was the Demon Emperor's Sovereign Helm, a ferocious, heavy helmet brimming with imperial authority. Directly above the forehead was a vertical slit, seemingly ready to open at any moment. On both sides of the helmet were spiraling upward curved horns, resembling a crown.

The faceplate had an open-close structure. The eye areas were like two long, narrow, burning slits. The face guard opened upwards like fangs, revealing a face that seemed to be hidden within deep purple void. Even with the face guard open, Xu Lang's true visage remained unclear. This design element increased both secrecy and a sense of inhumanity.

If just the helmet and face guard were this intricate and ornate, the limbs and torso were even more so.

The chest armor was molded in one piece, with a roaring demon skull relief at its center. Misty, gaseous energy swirled within the skull's eye sockets and mouth.

Each shoulder guard bore a small dragon claw, from whose tips corrosive black energy dripped.

The forearm and leg armor had sharp, clean lines. The backs of the hands were covered with barbed armor plates, the fingers were pointed, and the elbows and knees had protruding spike-like protrusions.

This Demon Emperor set was already dazzling, yet it somehow gave off a dim, lackluster feeling.

The next second.

【The Demon Emperor Set consumes 25,000 Nightmare Coins, upgrading to Level 21】

The Demon Emperor Set erupted with a magnificent radiance, sweeping away the dim aura and becoming brand new.

"As expected, they upgrade together. One portion of Nightmare Coins upgraded seven Epic components, and it directly skipped over the seven-day 'weakness period'... it's just that the upgrade price is a bit expensive!"

Sitting on the resources of two floors, Xu Lang had a whole bunch of miscellaneous components on him. Choosing the Demon Emperor Set was somewhat of a loss, as it meant he had to abandon seven corresponding powerful components.

But thinking about the integrated set potentially allowing for simultaneous upgrades, he decided to give it a try anyway.

And the result was quite pleasing. He directly gained seven top-tier Epic pieces of equipment, and it was a set, leagues better than his previous hodgepodge of individual pieces.

"My current combat power has at least doubled. I could beat my former self... three... no, five times over without a problem!"

Xu Lang stored the equipment that had been pushed aside, his confidence swelling to unprecedented heights.

This Epic-grade Demon Emperor Set had nearly pushed both his attributes past a thousand. He had never felt so powerful before.

Pressing down with his ankles, he cracked a ten-meter shallow crater beneath his feet. Xu Lang shot into Dawn City like a missile.

Xu Lang had entered, but the outside world couldn't see that he had gone in. To others, the scenery inside Dawn City remained frozen.

Not long after Xu Lang left, a sneaky, furtive figure approached.

His large head was hidden under a hood, his features ordinary and unremarkable. Standing there, he gave the impression of being a stone, completely devoid of presence.

"The commotion just now must have been Lang Ge. Where did he disappear to?"

Zhang Dahai looked around in all directions, his gaze focusing on the shallow crater Xu Lang had stamped out. He activated a tracking skill.

A moment later, he flipped his hand and produced a Dawn City Pass.

"Lang Ge really did enter Dawn City. I'll follow and take a look. I didn't dare go in alone before." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

...

BOOM~~~!

The energy beam cannon was ten meters thick. A single shot overturned the earth and shook the urban district.

Before, even if Xu Lang could dodge the direct hit of a beam cannon, he would be injured by the shockwave. But now, he was like a fearless fly. Seeing the energy beam gathering, he still closed in on the Apocalypse Fighter Jet.

BOOM!!!

Another beam cannon shot came. Xu Lang performed consecutive teleportation dodges, evading the attack and getting closer and closer to the Apocalypse Fighter Jet.

A heavy roar sounded behind him. Several city blocks were annihilated under that one shot, the flames illuminating the sky and earth a bit brighter.

In the tempered glass electronic eyes of the Apocalypse Fighter Jet, Xu Lang's figure gradually enlarged. Various data points materialized around the latter's body, calculating the metrics of this small combat unit.

Suddenly, it drew the Beam Saber from its back.

The high temperature of the energy instantly vaporized the matter in the air, creating a brief vacuum zone. The Beam Saber moved as fast as a flash of light, arriving before Xu Lang with unbelievable precision!

Don't be fooled by the Apocalypse Fighter Jet's size; its precision was also terrifyingly high!

Unfortunately, Xu Lang's speed was still a bit faster, narrowly dodging this slash.

*Tap*

Xu Lang's foot landed on the arm of the Apocalypse Fighter Jet, and Immortal Fire immediately began to burn upon it!

*Whoosh—*

The Blood Rakshasa shot out from within the crimson-gold flames. Its lower two arms wielded Purgatory's Master, its middle two arms held the Other Shore Twin Swords, and its uppermost two arms held an axe in one and a red-tasseled spear in the other.

Xu Lang's combat wisdom soared to its absolute peak at this moment!

Five weapons, with no distinction of superiority, all struck the Apocalypse Fighter Jet's body simultaneously, erupting with massive damage!

War God, Azeman's divine power, Blood Ghost's Sharpness, and other various buffs all stacked together, actually causing the Apocalypse Fighter Jet's defenses to be breached!

Not by much, but it was breached for real.

The Apocalypse Fighter Jet instantly raised Xu Lang's threat level by one tier.

Afterwards, this threat level kept rising, quickly reaching the maximum level!

At this very moment, the entire Apocalypse Fighter Jet was covered in Immortal Fire.

And the Immortal Fire had already entered its second stage!

Second-stage Immortal Fire was a Klein blue, like deep, starry fire!

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle~*

The Apocalypse Fighter Jet unleashed both sabers, practically dancing into a sphere of light around its own body.

If it were any ordinary monster race, it would have hit itself long ago!

However, the Apocalypse Fighter Jet's race was robot. Its precision seemed to be at a quantum computer level. Even if the Beam Saber was only millimeters from its own body, it could stop and smoothly deliver a second slash!

Xu Lang's DPS grew more and more explosive the longer he fought!

The Blood Rakshasa's Blood Pact, the Divine Seal of the Path of Asura—both were abilities that made him stronger the longer he fought, including the Transcendence to Sainthood spirit talent.

The experience gained from pummeling the Apocalypse Fighter Jet skyrocketed. Xu Lang's confidence was completely forged through this fight. Each slash became faster than the last, each punch fiercer than the one before. He was improving almost every single moment!
