Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Refining Armor True Soldiers (First Update)

Back when Xue An traveled across The Multiverse, he once stumbled upon a lost land.

In that abandoned world, all the mountains had been made into Alchemy Towers, and the rivers and oceans were transformed into the vein network of a Formation.

Such an impressive scene even astonished Xue An at that time.

But it was a world that had completely died.

Standing atop a mountain and gazing far away, the earth was covered with gigantic puppet remnants.

Despite the many years that had passed, these remnants still shone with a cold metallic luster, testifying to the power of the civilization that built them.

...
In the end, Xue An unlocked a hidden cache and acquired many useful things, knowledge of ancient alchemy such as the Alchemy Black Tower and solutions to the Ancient Secret Formation all came from there.

Xue An led Xiao Shui and others to the front of the Alchemy Tower.

This place was now considered the Holy Land of the Puppet Immortal Sect.

After Xue An arrived here, Liu Keke and Cang Yayun followed shortly.

“Senior, is there some kind of emergency?” Cang Yayun asked.

Ever since the Puppet Immortal Sect activated the Ancient Secret Formation, Cang Yayun felt her progress in Puppetry Technique was advancing by leaps and bounds each day.

Although she had taken the wrong path in her cultivation level and there was no turning back,

if her Puppetry Technique could make another breakthrough, then her strength would increase greatly, she might even become one of the top-notch individuals in the whole Central Province.

Therefore, the sliver of resentment Cang Yayun had for being deprived of the Sect Leader position had long since dissipated like smoke in the wind.

Now she spent every day wholeheartedly delving into the Puppetry Technique.

For Xue An, her respect was genuine and heartfelt.

Xue An shook his head, “Nothing much, I just want to make a few sets of armors for these Hua Clan warriors!”

Make armors?

Cang Yayun and Liu Keke exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Liu Keke stepped forward, “Senior, the Sect’s treasury contains many armors left by predecessors and a multitude of puppet seeds. If you desire, I can order people to guide these Hua Clan warriors to choose right now.”

Even though the Puppet Immortal Sect had become a second-rate sect, its foundation was still profound; the treasury was replete with various alchemical treasures and armors, more than enough to equip Xiao Shui and the others.

Yet Xue An, with a smile, simply shook his head again, “There’s no need. Make way!”

Cang Yayun and Liu Keke, upon hearing this, retreated to a distance.

Xue An stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Alchemy Tower and said indifferently, “It might cause some pain, are you afraid?”

Xiao Shui and the Hua Clan warriors all smiled upon hearing this.

“Brother An, as true men, how can we fear mere pain?” Xiao Shui said.

“Good, form the battle array,” Xue An commanded.

At Xue An’s order, Xiao Shui and the others all tensed up instantly and promptly arranged themselves neatly according to the battle formation.

Xue An walked up to the Alchemy Tower and suddenly said, “Do you know what the first principle of Alchemy is?”

Cang Yayun and Liu Keke, standing in the distance, were both startled and showed puzzled expressions.

“In simple terms, Alchemy is a technique that forcefully alters the natural structure of materials, making them grow according to the will of the alchemist, but it has one iron rule,” Xue An paused.

“That is equivalent exchange.”

“Alchemy is a very fair technique; you have to give as much as you want to get. There is no such thing as creating something out of nothing; that’s its first principle!”

“Only by understanding this can one be considered a qualified Alchemist.”

“Senior, but this…” Liu Keke gestured towards the Alchemy Tower, trying to say something.

Xue An said calmly, “Are you asking why this Alchemy Tower can change the entire Puppet Immortal Sect?”

“Yes!”

Xue An smiled faintly, “What you see is not always the truth. This Alchemy Tower can change the Puppet Immortal Sect because, for thousands of years, a vast amount of Spirit Power has accumulated at its base.”

As he spoke, Xue An reached out and gently caressed the Alchemy Tower, saying lightly, “Now, please lend me your power for alchemy!”

Hum!

With a soft sound,

intricate golden patterns began to emerge around Xue An’s palm!

The entire Alchemy Tower trembled slightly, and dazzling lights appeared atop the spire.

Xue An slowly closed his eyes, his massive Divine Sense spreading out, enveloping Xiao Shui and the others with that brilliant light.

“Gather your spirits!” Xue An’s voice echoed in the mind of every Hua Clan warrior.

Xiao Shui and the others shuddered unanimously, immediately embracing the core and guarding the one, calming their minds and spirits.

Meanwhile, Xue An’s Divine Sense, like a knife carving, started engraving alchemy runes on every Hua Clan warrior’s body.

With every engraving, Xiao Shui and the others’ faces would show a color of pain.

For these men, who did not fear death, to react like this, it showed just how intense the pain was.

In reality, each of Xue An’s cuts was equivalent to carving directly onto the bones and meridians of Xiao Shui and the others.

It was naturally a pain that pierced to the core.

Yet even so, these Hua Clan warriors remained silent, silently enduring everything.

In the distance, Cang Yayun and Liu KekKe watched in a daze!

Especially Cang Yayun, who after all had been the Sect Leader of the Puppet Immortal Sect, naturally had a much broader range of knowledge.

Thus at this moment, her face full of horror, she murmured, “This… This is the art of refining soldiers!”

She had once seen records of this secret technique in the Sect’s passed down texts.

This was a Secret Technique that directly engraved alchemy runes onto a person’s body.

The principle was similar to alchemy, hence the name True Armored Soldier Art.

But texts also recorded that the conditions required for refining soldiers were extremely complex, the preliminary preparations alone would take a long time, and while carving the runes, the person wielding the pen had to be entirely focused, without any slightest distraction.

Because if there was even a tiny error in the alchemy runes, all efforts would be in vain.

Even so, success was not guaranteed in the end.

Often, it still depended on luck.

And now, Xue An was simultaneously engraving runes for several hundred Hua Clan warriors.

This was simply like a fantasy, unbelievable.

But only Xue An understood that what he was using was not the soldier refining technique of this place but from the lost secrets of that realm.

And it was also because of the immense boost of Xue An’s Divine Sense that he could refine for so many people at the same time!

At this time, Xue An said indifferently, “The real pain is about to begin, endure it, and you will become strong!”

What? The real pain hasn’t come yet? Then what is this now?

Xiao Shui and the others were bewildered.

Xue An carved down the last rune.

Boom!

The radiance, as if ignited, began to wildly surge into the runes on Xiao Shui and the others’ bodies.

Pain!

It was as if their souls were being torn apart!

These Hua Clan warriors finally could not hold back and let out pained moans.

Xue An quietly watched.

This hurdle, no one else could help them with; they had to make it through on their own.

The first to complete the transformation was Xiao Shui!

He trembled all over, the runes on his body already filled with the brilliance.

He let out a painful howl to the sky, and around him emerged black lines that quickly filled in to become solid figures.

In an instant.

Xiao Shui was covered by a suit of black armor that radiated a terrifying presence.

And it wasn’t over yet.

Clang!

With a crisp metallic sound, two massive steel wings emerged behind Xiao Shui.

In conjunction with the black armor enveloping his body, he appeared incredibly mysterious and powerful.

At the same time, all the Hua Clan warriors began to transform in unison.

Amidst howls of pain.

In the blink of an eye, they were all clad in black armor, wings unfurled.

This… was the Alchemy Secret of the ancients.

The True Armored Soldier Art!
