After laughing and celebrating like a madman for a while, Su Chen finally calmed down. Taking a deep breath, he wiped the corner of his mouth and focused, eyes glinting with excitement as he looked at the four rewards neatly stored in his storage space.
He muttered, "Let's see what kind of treasures I've pulled this time…"
[Galaxy Sword (Immortal Level)]
Forged from three types of immortal gold and refined by a true immortal weapon craftsman in his final days. This weapon can grow with the user, reaching unimaginable heights. Its blade is said to cut through even the fabric of the universe. Additionally, it provides a soul-protection ability for its wielder.
[Immortal Rebirth Armor (Immortal King Level)]
A legendary piece of armor that defies the laws of the world. It allows the user to travel freely through formations, absorbs heaven and earth qi automatically, and uses it for instant healing. It repels attacks and can even manifest a temporary duplicate. Most terrifyingly, it allows the user to be reborn from a single drop of blood.
[Eternal Immortal Wind]
A wisp of primordial wind, born at the dawn of creation, when the first breath of Dao spread through the void. Untouched by time or the laws of heaven, it drifts freely even now. It is said that not even Heavenly Tribulation dares to touch it.
[True Dragon Treasure Techniques]
A mysterious set of dragon cultivation arts, created by an unknown ancient dragon. Believed to be one of the infamous 'Twelve Evil Techniques.' Its origins are a mystery, but its power is undeniable.
Su Chen grinned like a fox who just found a henhouse.
"Finally, I won't have to run for my life every time someone waves around a top-tier technique," he muttered. "I already have escape and support methods, but what I've been seriously lacking are offensive and defensive tools. Not to mention, I've never even seen a proper weapon before."
His expression turned sour for a moment. "I'm not some chosen son of heaven who has an immortal weapon spirit as a nanny or protector... No, I'm just a shameless cheater with a system. But even this cheater can get his hands on an Immortal King-grade treasure. Heh."
His eyes fell on the Immortal Rebirth Armor. "Should I take it out now?"
He looked around the serene space, then nodded thoughtfully. "This place is under suppression from the Immortal palace itself. The items won't make much noise or cause spiritual fluctuations if I summon them here."
Making up his mind, he reached out and tapped on the armor icon. In a soft hum of light, a translucent, simple-looking upper body armor appeared in front of him. It had no extravagant patterns or flashy aura—just a faint bluish hue, almost like mist condensed into form.
"Huh?" Su Chen raised a brow. "I thought it would be more… dramatic. You know, like bursting out with a bang or glowing like it's going to devour the world. But this… this just looks like an ordinary armor."
He let out a sigh of relief. "Good. Low-key is best. Flashy treasures attract flashy deaths."
Then, without hesitation, he bit the tip of his finger. A drop of his origin essence blood, shimmering with seven colors like crystal, formed at his fingertip. Carefully, he let it fall onto the armor.
The moment the blood touched the surface, a soft buzz echoed as the armor trembled, absorbing the drop. Then… nothing. It returned to its calm, misty form.
But Su Chen's eyes lit up.
"I can feel it… the connection."
He placed his hand gently on the armor—and suddenly, a scanning light erupted from it, a beam sweeping over his entire body. It didn't just stop at the surface. It scanned his meridians, his soul, his very consciousness down to the deepest level.
Su Chen stiffened slightly, feeling the light brushing over parts of him that no ordinary technique could touch.
"Damn… this thing isn't just recognizing its master," he muttered under his breath. "It's dissecting me to my soul."
But he didn't resist. This was a treasure beyond measure—and he could feel it now.
From this moment on, Immortal Rebirth Armor had acknowledged him as its bearer.
Su Chen took a deep breath.
Now that the connection was formed, he could feel it clearly—this armor was under his full control. A single thought was enough.
Swish!
The Immortal Rebirth Armor floated gently toward him, shimmering with a faint ethereal glow. Without any resistance, it fused directly into his body.
Su Chen lowered his head and looked at himself.
"Huh… wasn't it just an upper-body piece before?" he murmured. "Why is it covering my whole body now?"
Sure enough, the armor had extended itself—his arms, legs, even his neck were now encased in a layer of that misty, translucent protection. Sleek, simple, and without any unnecessary flare. Yet he could sense the terrifying defensive power hidden within.
With just a thought…
Shhhhp.
The armor faded completely from the surface, vanishing into his sea of consciousness without leaving a trace on his physical body.
Su Chen raised a brow and chuckled. "Alright, that's convenient."
With another thought, he summoned it again—but this time, he didn't wear it. He held it in front of him and slowly stepped into the Immortal Pond, letting the lukewarm, divine water soak into his skin.
Then, with a silent command—
Buzz!
The Immortal Rebirth Armor began to absorb the surrounding energy like a starving beast.
Boom!
Whoooosh!
Immortal energy surged toward the armor at an incredible speed. The surface of the pond rippled violently as waves of energy were drawn in, sucked dry like mist pulled into a vortex. It looked as if a storm had formed just around Su Chen's body.
He blinked slowly, watching the scene unfold in front of him with calm eyes.
The process continued for several minutes before the light dimmed, and the energy absorption finally stopped.
Su Chen glanced at the Immortal Pond.
"…Tch. Barely any water left."
The once-rich immortal pond was now almost empty. Only a shallow layer of shimmering liquid remained, like dew at the bottom of a dried-up bowl.
As for the Immortal Rebirth Armor—it floated quietly before him, now glowing faintly, fully replenished and brimming with power.
"Greedy thing," he muttered with a smirk. "At this rate, I'll need to rob a sect just to refill this thing."
Without hesitation, he sent the armor back into his sea of consciousness with a wave of his hand.
"Now then…"
He turned his attention toward the system storage once more.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he selected the True Dragon Treasure Techniques.
"Let's see just how monstrous these so-called evil techniques really are."
