Chapter 962, Divine Armour Clues

Translator: Silavin

As Qin Yichen’s thoughts stirred, the Myriad Dao Divine Armour arm guards appeared on his arms, Black energy swirling around them. His entire body was suffused with a violent aura.

He desperately suppressed this negative emotion as Black energy rose, forming a protective barrier three metres in diameter.

“Everyone, get inside!” He roared.

Everyone hurried into the barrier, though Fei Yunxiao hesitated for a moment.

A protective barrier erected by a Martial Emperor Realm youngster. Could it really be more effective than his own protective barrier as a Late Stage Martial Ancestor!?

He did not believe it.

His momentum surged as Yuan Energy expanded, sheltering all the Flying Heaven Fort people within.

*Pa pa pa…*

Black raindrops fell. Fei Yunxiao’s expression changed dramatically as he cried out, “Not good!”

As his words fell, everyone saw the black raindrops directly penetrate his Yuan Energy shield, dripping onto those Flying Heaven Fort experts. Immediately, a series of miserable cries rang out.

“Save me…”

“Save me, I don’t want to die!”

“Ahhh!…”

In less than a minute, all the Flying Heaven Fort experts, including Fei Yunxiao, fell into the swamp, not even bones remaining.

This scene chilled everyone to the bone, but they also looked fearfully at the black barrier they were within.

The black barrier was not formed from Qin Yichen’s Yuan Energy, but rather densely woven from the Black energy swirling around his arms. It looked very thin, as if it would break with a single poke.

*Pa pa pa…*

Raindrops struck against Qin Yichen’s black barrier. Beyond everyone’s expectations, the seemingly fragile black barrier was not corroded at all.

This immediately made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Under the barrier’s protection, the group swiftly travelled, finally leaving the swamp’s range before the entire swampland erupted.

Even after escaping, everyone retreated several hundred kilometres before stopping.

Looking at the swamp with Black energy soaring into the sky, everyone’s scalp tingled.

If Qin Yichen had not warned them early, everyone would likely have perished by now.

At this moment, even those experts summoned by Fei Yunxiao cast grateful looks at Qin Yichen.

Qin Yichen could have ignored them, but he had still brought them out.

However, Qin Yichen did not notice how they looked at him in gratitude. After inquiring whether Feng Qianxue and Chen Hui were unharmed, he turned his gaze once more towards that swamp.

[That black rain…] Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed.

When the swampland erupted, he had already detected that the aura of those black beams of light was somewhat similar in origin to the Black energy on his Myriad Dao Divine Armour arm guards.

[But that shouldn’t be. How could this kind of energy exist here?]

He felt very strange. Looking at the swamp with Black energy soaring into the sky, his eyes flickered uncertainly. [But, what exactly is hidden underground then?]

This region was far too strange.

It was clearly a swamp, yet Spirit Life Flowers had grown. Now even black energy had appeared.

“Senior Brother Mu, do you know anything about this swamp and Prison Dragon Slope?” Qin Yichen asked Mu Yanfeng beside him.

“Not really.” Mu Yanfeng shook his head.

The people of this region all regarded this swamp as a Forbidden Area. No one ventured in at all. If not for this anomaly, this place would have been an area no one cared about.

“Sacred Master Candidate Qin.” Mu Enxiong hesitated briefly before speaking. “I did once see some records about this swamp in an ancient text…”

“Previously, this region had no swamp. This was called the Prison Dragon Mountain Range. Originally, this was a land abundant with Spiritual Energy, with numerous Forces established here. But for some unknown reason, the ground changed, forming a huge swampland. Many people died unnatural deaths, and those Forces were forced to relocate. That’s how it became the current swampland and Prison Dragon Slope…”

“Prison Dragon Mountain Range? This place was originally a mountain range?” Qin Yichen looked at him in astonishment.

[What exactly had happened to transform a land abundant with Spiritual Energy into its current state!? It must be…]

Suddenly, something seemed to occur to him, and his mind trembled involuntarily.

[The Myriad Dao Divine Armour!]

Back then, Master Lu Ban had slain countless dark creatures, to the point where the Myriad Dao Divine Armour was invaded by Black energy.

In the Mo Clan, he had obtained the Myriad Dao Divine Armour arm guards. At the same time, he understood just how terrifying that Black energy was.

If his guess was correct, beneath this Prison Dragon Mountain Range should be a Spirit Vein. Master Lu Ban must have placed a certain part of the Myriad Dao Divine Armour within the Spirit Vein to cleanse it and set up a seal.

However, Master Lu Ban had clearly still underestimated the Black energy’s corrosive ability.

Obviously, this swamp was the result of the Black energy corroding that Spirit Vein.

It was equivalent to destroying this region and destroying this Spirit Vein.

However, this was clearly unavoidable. It should also have been a decision Master Lu Ban made after much deliberation.

That Black energy was something even Master Lu Ban could not fully eliminate. Only a pure Spirit Vein could gradually cleanse it through slow purification. If not cleansed, the Black energy would absolutely be a hidden danger to this world.

Scattering the Myriad Dao Divine Armour across various locations and placing them within Spirit Veins still caused such significant impact. One could imagine what kind of terrifying region would be created if the complete set of Myriad Dao Divine Armour were placed in one location.

After considering all this, Qin Yichen felt that Master Lu Ban’s approach was undoubtedly the most correct. Otherwise, who knew what terrifying events might occur. There might even be a possibility of spawning those dark creatures.

He would never forget the scenes he witnessed in the Mo Clan…

*Haaa…* Qin Yichen exhaled a long breath, his eyes narrowing slightly. “It seems I’ll need to go in once more.”

Though he was not one hundred percent certain, if there was a possibility that part of the Myriad Dao Divine Armour was inside, regardless of how dangerous it might be, he had to enter.

He did not want to miss the opportunity to get another piece of the Myriad Dao Divine Armour.

At this moment, the entire swamp was completely shrouded in Black energy. Black clouds rolled, corroding everything. Around the swamp, nearly a hundred kilometres in range had transformed into black mire.

Divine light flickered in Qin Yichen’s eyes as he looked towards Prison Dragon Slope.

If his speculation was correct, that sole remaining Prison Dragon Slope was precisely where Master Lu Ban had placed the Myriad Dao Divine Armour piece and established the seal.

Otherwise, why would only that place remain uncorroded when the surrounding regions had all been corroded into swampland?

“Junior Brother Qin, you’re not still thinking about that so-called treasure, are you?” Seeing Qin Yichen’s actions, Mu Yanfeng could not help asking with some concern.

That black rain had instantly claimed the lives of everyone from Flying Heaven Fort, leaving a profound impact on him. Even now, thinking of that scene made his scalp tingle.

Even if that Prison Dragon Slope contained a Saint Inheritance, he would not be willing to venture in!

He could not understand why Qin Yichen still had not given up.

“Just have to take a look…” Seeing the worried look in Feng Qianxue’s eyes, Qin Yichen said awkwardly.

If it were any other kind of treasure, he would leave without a second word. It simply would not be worth it. However, this concerned the Myriad Dao Divine Armour. He had to take the risk.
