Chapter 1017: Personal Armor
The bronze gate closed behind them .
Darkness .
Nothing was visible around them .
The group simply followed the passage and flew forward .
“Do you not know anything regarding this ruin?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
「 Our clan has always passed on the secret of the ruin by sealing it within our heads . When we make it to the appropriate locations within the ruin, the seal would be undone and inform us of the related matters 」the king replied .
Gu Qing Shan praised: “What a wonderful solution, this would certainly prevent leaking the secret by accident”
He wasn’t at all worried about the king lying to him .
——-because he gave up all possible earnings from this trip, only demanding information .
According to their covenant, the king must inform him of everything he knows and will know .
The dark passage was extremely long .
After a long flight, they finally slowed down .
A tall cliff stood right in front of them .
Intense wind howled from below the cliff, bringing with it a frigid sensation from the very bottom as it flowed towards the unseen ceiling within the darkness .
Huge towering pillars stood tall in front of the cliff, displaying its horror to those witnessing it——
Countless bodies were pinned on this pillar .
Or rather, the pillar itself was created from those bodies .
Corpses of all shapes and sizes, mystical and unfathomable .
Multitudes of insect carcasses .
Multitudes of linked humanoid corpses .
Non-sentient, unmoving beasts .
Strange and unfathomable abyssal monsters .
Too many to count, too many to estimate .
Gu Qing Shan could even see a mythical creature that only existed within cultivating legends .
——a Heavenly Dragon .
The Heavenly Dragon was coiled around the pillar of corpses, its body completely greyed out, as if it was a lifeless specimen in a lab .
These pillars of corpses stood within the presumably bottomless darkness, rising all the way up to the endlessly far ceiling .
Above and below, both could not be seen .
This greatly shocked everyone here .
The king clutched his forehead, moaning in pain .
Enduring this, he muttered: 「 Argh… I can sense a secret being unlocked, its seal is being undone, wait a moment 」
Everyone stood and waited .
Gu Qing Shan said: “Laura, wear your armor”
Laura regained her senses .
She first donned the Bramble Bird Sovereign armor, then walked up to Gu Qing Shan and took out a smooth ice cube that was about the size of her hand .
“What is this?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked .
Laura displayed a secretive expression on her face and didn’t answer right away, instead she used telepathy to talk to him: “Do you still remember? When we were at the border of the unending abyss of broken worlds, I said that I felt something even stronger than the Sovereign armor approaching us from the vortex, and I insisted that I had to grab it no matter what?”
“I remember . At the time, you couldn’t fight the temptation and took it in the end” Gu Qing Shan replied .
“It was this thing here . I’ve not been able to figure out how it works, but I can guarantee that it far surpasses any defensive item I own, how about you try it out?” Laura said .
She gave the ice cube to Gu Qing Shan .
It felt chilling to the touch .
As Gu Qing Shan took the ice cube in his hand, he found that it was a transparent and clear cube of ice with some flowing water inside—– it might be water or it might be something else, but it was indeed flowing .
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Wielder of Elemental Water, Song of the Night, Elemental Spirit King Personal Armor: Embrace and Praise from the Frost of Evernight and Wind of Chaotic Tribulation]
[Note: This is an incomplete fragment of a Divine Garb, you are unable to utilize its complete characteristics]
[Note: As this is a Divine Armament, you must communicate with the Artifact Spirit before you can learn of its attributes]
[Special note: This armor’s Artifact Spirit had already been eliminated countless years ago, but as the War God UI has recorded its characteristics, you are notified of the following attributes:]
[Aria of Frost: Whenever an opponent’s attack comes into contact with this armor, their attack speed will be reduced by 3% until it is thoroughly frozen (unusable)]
[Praise of Evernight: As night falls, your defenses are increased 3-fold]
[Aria of Frigid Wind: Whenever you kill an opponent, all the power of their soul will remain upon your weapon, empowering your subsequent attack (unusable)]
[Praise of the Wind of Chaotic Tribulation: The Wind of Chaotic Tribulation that lingers around you will neutralize an enemy’s attack, once per day]
Feeling his eyes overwhelmed by the information, Gu Qing Shan asked: “War God UI, why are there two abilities that can’t be used?”
[Ting]!

After a clear chime, the War God UI replied: [Because this armor has been damaged very severely, half of its abilities have become unusable . However, you obtained its two Praises, which is more than enough]
As soon as it said so, the ice cube in Gu Qing Shan’s hand broke apart and turned invisible .
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Time: The current situation is recognized as nighttime]
[Praise of Evernight as well as Praise of Wind of Chaotic Tribulation have both been activated]
[Any of the opponent’s attacks against you will be fully neutralized by the armor, usable three times]
Gu Qing Shan sensed a faintly drifting wind that lingered around his body .
This was an invisible armor .
Tch——-
That’s really strong
He couldn’t help but turn to Laura .
At this time, Laura had taken out three sets of armor, giving them to Zhang Ying Hao, Ye Fei Li, and Boss .
Defensive artifacts that she carried with her were without a doubt the most powerful within the 900 million World Layers .
They all hurriedly thanked her and donned the armors .
Ye Fei Li sighed emotionally: “Usually for a game, a reward is only given out after slaying all the monsters, but now we’ve been given such powerful armors even before any monster appeared”
He was wearing a set of bright red armor with a pair of illusory wings behind his back, making him appear incredibly eerie .
Laura giggled: “I don’t know how to fight, so I’ll need you to protect me from this point on”
“Naturally, your majesty” Ye Fei Li replied .
At this point, the king had opened his eyes and was silently glancing through the forest of corpse pillars, declaring:
「 I know how to get past this place 」
He walked up to the cliff and knelt down in front of a piece of a broken boulder, lightly muttering an excerpt from a prayer to the God of Life .
A short while later .
The broken boulder started trembling nonstop .
A hovering stone slab manifested right above the bottomless ravine .
The king stood up and told them all: 「 We must stand on the stone slab . It will bring us across this forest of corpse pillars 」
「 Keep in mind, do not release even a bit of power, otherwise, we might draw the attention of unknown monsters 」

Everyone nodded .
Laura curiously asked: “What will happen exactly if we released just a bit of power?”
The king took out a small, well-decorated box from his chest and threw it towards a faraway corpse pillar .
As the box hit a certain pillar, it shattered and opened to reveal a scroll that emanated magical powers .
『 Aeeeeeeee!!!!!!! 』
Billions of voices were wailing at once .
The wailing resounded from every corpse pillar in their vision .
Before anyone could clearly see what happened, the scroll had already been shredded to pieces and vanished from where it was before .
Every corpse on the corpse pillars seemed to have returned to life as they were madly searching for any new fluctuations around them .
A giant rotting arm even appeared from one of the corpse pillars .
The arm was madly swiping at the air .
The void of space was ripped apart .
Gu Qing Shan’s group remained silent as they watched this .
The king couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his head .
He only wanted to show them an example, who knew the reaction would be even worse than he had imagined .
「 Did you see that? We cannot release even a single bit of power, or we will be ripped apart 」
“What about talking?”
「 Talking shouldn’t affect anything——- but I still suggest that we use telepathy 」
Everyone nodded in agreement without objection .
The power that the arm displayed just now was so overwhelming that they felt powerless to resist just watching it .
“Alright, let us be as careful as we can, let’s go” Gu Qing Shan declared .
He lightly stepped onto the stone slab .
Everyone else followed suit, standing firmly .
It was now that the king noticed something different .
These people who were going to explore the ruin with him had all donned their armor .
Indeed, it was natural to wear armor in preparation for exploring such a dangerous ruin .

But what’s going on with these armors!?
As the king’s gaze swept through these people, his eyes only opened wider and wider .
He could judge the quality of goods, and he understood how powerful these armors were a lot more compared to people like Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li .
These people aren’t very strong .
But their unique abilities are considerable .
Not to mention this level of gear .
——–that’s unbelievably good treatment .
Zhang Ying Hao noticed his gaze and asked in surprise: “What are you looking at? Is there a problem?”
He was wearing a full suit of black armor; his body occasionally melting into the void of space and gave off a mysterious aura .
After a long while of silence, the king hesitantly spoke:
「 Erm—— 」
「 About that—– 」
「 I just have a question I wanted to ask——- 」
「 Although I’m a king—— 」
「 I actually have my own ideals as well——-」
「 You should know, being a king is extremely tough, and I didn’t really sign up for the job 」
Feeling confused, Zhang Ying Hao asked straight: “What exactly do you want to say?”
「 Are you still accepting members? 」
The king asked .
