Infinite Professions-Chapter 72 - 2: Spirit Armor

"This..."

"What is it saying?"

"Not Li Taiyi?"

The Earth Dragon Beast lost its composure, and everyone was even more stunned, finding it hard to understand.

Only Dongfang Bai was enlightened, his expression particularly horrified, gazing at Shen Hex under the pressure of ten thousand times the weight, he repeatedly exclaimed: "Impossible, impossible!"

It’s widely known that on the Spirit Control Continent, humans have weak physiques but strong spirits, while spirit beasts have strong physiques but lack wisdom. Through contracts, they can complement each other’s growth.

Thus, a Spirit Control Master without a spirit beast and a spirit beast without a Spirit Control Master see their strength diminished by more than one level.

Only through a contract, where human and beast complement each other, can the most powerful spirit beast and Spirit Control Master be achieved.

But no matter how much they complement, no matter how they grow, humans’ congenital weaknesses cannot be erased unless the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique is utilized. Otherwise, it’s difficult to even contend with a spirit beast of the same tier, let alone a Celestial Destiny Emperor.

But he...

No fusion with a spirit beast?

How is this possible!

A human, without using the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique, relying solely on their own strength, withstood the earth’s pressure from the Celestial Destiny Emperor?

This is absolutely impossible!

Yet the Earth Dragon Beast’s perception as the Celestial Destiny Emperor couldn’t be wrong, and the scene before them was not an illusion.

Therefore, there’s only one explanation.

He’s not Li Taiyi?

No, he’s not human at all!

What on earth is he?

An Emperor Spirit Beast wrapped in human skin?

Dongfang Bai was utterly horrified, and the Earth Dragon Beast also looked gravely serious.

Only Shen Hex remained silent, his body radiated brilliant golden light, gradually swallowing up his figure.

"Hmm!?"

The Earth Dragon Beast’s gaze focused: "Is he appearing?"

Before the words of doubt could fall, they saw the spirit light dissipate, but what emerged was still a human silhouette.

He was still he, his face unchanged, just enveloped in golden light. First revealing a shoulder, the armor on his shoulder appeared strict, like a dragon’s mouth opening and closing, entirely golden, except for a touch of crimson at the center, where the two colors intertwined, exuding unmatched strength, further showcasing its tyrannical dignity.

Such shoulder armor was only the beginning. As the golden light dissipated, the shoulders, head, chest, abdomen, waist, and limbs, all revealed armor, like a Nine Dragon Coiling Body, showing ferocious head and dense scales, connecting seamlessly, with no apparent gaps.

Such armor, harmonizing with the martial artist’s physique, further highlighted his heroic posture. Even with the brilliance restrained, it still shone like the sun, standing on the earth, seizing all glory, commanding attention from all directions, capturing the gaze of the masses.

"What is this...?"

"Roar!!!"

Dongfang Bai’s pupils shrunk. Before he could speak, he heard a roar. The Earth Monarch, firmly suppressed by the Earth Realm, somehow gathered strength, suddenly stood up, transforming into a beam of light and casting into Shen Hex, merging into the Golden Dragon Armor.

Not just it, the Vajra Fierce Ape and Wind Thunder Winged Tiger also struggled to rise, transforming into beams of light and casting into Shen Hex. Spirit light flashed, and one by one contracted spirit beasts rushed out from the Spirit Control Ring, ignoring the earth’s pressure, each merging into Shen Hex’s body.

The crowd watched tensely, overwhelmed by the spectacle, seeing hundreds of beams of light, including Sand Beasts, Pheasant-tailed Chickens, Green-headed Ducks, Giant Barbarian Bulls...

All common yet remarkably developed spirit beasts, all reaching Tier Four, either Spirit Lord Species or Elite Species.

Hundreds of spirit beasts transformed into hundreds of beams of light, all merged into Shen Hex’s body, fusing with the Golden Dragon Armor.

"What is this..."

"Spirit Control Armor?"

"How is this possible?"

"Hundreds of contracted spirit beasts?"

"He actually possesses hundreds of contracted spirit beasts?"

"What kind of armor can accommodate hundreds of spirit beasts?"

"Could it be Monarch Armor, no, Emperor’s Armor, or Celestial Destiny Armor?"

Seeing this, the crowd finally awakened but still faced countless questions, tangled in confusion.

Spirit Fusion Secret Technique!

Spirit Control Armor!

These are the two major means for Spirit Control Masters to face enemies, it’s not surprising.

But the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique he used now and the Spirit Control Armor on him are somewhat beyond understanding.

Hundreds of contracted spirit beasts?

How is this possible?

Even Dongfang Bai, a Celestial Destiny Spirit Master who practiced the Dongfang Clan’s King-level Secret Technique Azure Dragon Spirit Manipulation Technique and regularly took various potions and spiritual objects to enhance his Spirit Control Power, has contracted only more than thirty spirit beasts.

Yet he has hundreds, more than ten times Dongfang Bai!

This is beyond understanding, isn’t it? Even if it’s Emperor Level Spirit Manipulation Secret Technique, it can’t enable a Spirit-level Spirit Master to contract hundreds of spirit beasts, right?

And what level is his golden armor at that can bear the power of hundreds of Tier Four spirit beasts?

This doesn’t seem like a conventional Spirit Control Armor at all, does it?

What on earth is he, what is going on here?

The crowd is unclear, and even those involved understand less.

Above the Earth Dragon Beast, Dongfang Bai frowned, beads of sweat dotting his forehead.

Spirit Fusion Secret Technique, Spirit Control Armor.

His actions further confirmed that the Earth Dragon Beast’s judgment was correct. Before this, he indeed had not fused with a spirit beast, worn armor, relying entirely on his own strength to withstand the pressure of the Earth Realm.

And now...

Ten Thousand Spirits Armor

Artifact Profession: King of Beasts (Exclusive)

Item Tier: Tier Four (Can be enhanced with Professional Experience)

Item Effect: Ten Thousand Spirits Armor (Exclusive armor of the King of Beasts, able to absorb the power of myriad spirits to enhance oneself, each spirit beast incorporated can boost the physique and spirit of the King of Beasts, while sharing the damage for the King of Beasts)

Item Introduction: Ten Thousand Spirits Unite, Nine Dragon Coiling Body! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

...

Exclusive Item, Ten Thousand Spirits Armor.

Shen Hex had to admit, the power of the Celestial Destiny Emperor was indeed terrifying. Despite being Tier Four and a Xingyi Mastery practitioner, he could only withstand the pressure of the Earth Realm and couldn’t go further, relying on his own power to defeat the Earth Dragon Beast.

Fortunately, his strength was far beyond himself, far beyond these spirit beasts, with the added boost of the profession.

Ten Thousand Spirits Armor, the exclusive professional item of the King of Beasts, under the enhancement of professional power, it has completely surpassed the same-tier Spirit Control Armor, becoming an unprecedented anomaly in this world.

At this moment, it has merged with hundreds of spirit beasts, each reaching Tier Four, either Spirit Lord Species or Elite Species, along with the Vajra Fierce Ape and other three Monarchs.

Although such a fusion cannot be fully cumulative, it has elevated Shen Hex’s physical strength and spiritual power by tens and hundreds of times.

Such elevation, such growth...

The Earth Realm, the pressure of ten thousand times, vanished into thin air as if unable to restrict actions anymore.

Shen Hex raised his head, looking at Dongfang Bai and the Earth Dragon Beast: "Three moves, if you don’t die, I concede defeat!"

"You!!!"

Dongfang Bai’s pupils shrunk, cold sweat stood on the back of his neck, an indescribable horror in his heart, rendering him speechless.

"Earth Guardian!"

"Spirit Fusion!"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Earth Dragon Beast’s words came, awakening him from this fear, facing the formidable aura of Shen Hex, clenched his teeth: "Then let’s do this!"

After speaking, he mobilized the Spirit Control Power, connecting the Earth Dragon Beast and the three Monarchs.
