Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 573 - 370: A Reunion with Old Friends, the Infernal Demon Sect Fully Gathered, The Might of the Qilin Holy Armor!_2

"I have no choice but to make a trip to the Infernal Demon Sect now," said Yi Chen.

Back when Yi Chen's cultivation wasn't complete, he had a little friction with the Sect's first Saint Heir, Hu Bugui, and ended up killing him. Now thinking about it, the past events are still crystal clear, as if they happened right before my eyes.

According to the message left by Yuan Jun on the Star Disc, the Kirin Holy Helm actually ended up in the hands of the two unlucky fellows he met back then, Qiu Mulang and his Dao companion, the lady Qian Xue.

The Eastern Continent and the Central Continent have now completely merged, and where the land masses meet, a huge mountain range has been uplifted, called the Chasm Realm Mountains. Cultivators from both continents are currently in a phase of collision.

During the days Yi Chen left for the capital in secret, a lot had happened in the Eastern and Central Continents.

During this era of great contention, no one can remain uninvolved. The restless Qiu Mulang's heart was set ablaze again, and he joined the 'pioneering' team of Great Qin, engaging in fierce battles with the cultivators of the Central Continent within a thousand miles of Chasm Realm Mountains.

Many well-known cultivators perished as a result, and many previously unknown ones rose to prominence.

Initially, the cultivators of the Eastern Continent were advancing mightily. The squad that Qiu Mulang was part of had made significant gains, which made them greedy. They ventured deep into enemy territory, far from their main force, and the whole team was immediately ambushed and annihilated, with only a deeply proficient Li-surnamed cultivator escaping back.

According to this Li-surnamed cultivator, the ones who ambushed them were from a sect in the Central Continent called the Infernal Demon Sect.

Because the Supreme Elder of the Infernal Demon Sect wanted to craft a Soul Crafting Banner, he needed many top-quality living souls. Qiu Mulang and his teammates, who were captured, became excellent nourishment for the crafting of this Soul Crafting Banner.

That is the story of Qiu Mulang.

A story about brothers on a Soul Crafting Banner, whom cultivation had brought together too strenuously.

To save her husband, Qiu Mulang's Dao companion Qian Xue contacted the free spirits of the heavens through other channels, and only then did Yuan Jun become aware of their plight.

And the Kirin Holy Helm was naturally the bargaining chip that Qian Xue offered.

"Damn it, Qiu Mulang, you crafty old fox! You aren't loyal at all. Back in the day, it was I, the Daoist, who conducted your wedding for free, knowing full well that I was scouring the entire world in search of the last Kirin Holy Helm, and yet you sneaky little brat hid it and never made a peep," Yi Chen complained inwardly.

He hurriedly headed for the location that Yuan Jun had mentioned in the message.

Ten thousand meters high above, Yi Chen immediately concealed his aura, hid his form, and started to move swiftly alongside the sky wind.

...

...

Fifteen days later.

In an unnamed mountain valley with treacherous rocks and perilous streams, a clear brook meandered.

A red and white poisonous snake lay bored under the shadow of a large boulder, flicking its tongue.

The snake's belly was bulging, indicating it had just eaten.

Just then, the wind stirred violently, and a tall figure plummeted from the sky, cutting across the horizon with a trail of white clouds, landing precisely in the territory where the snake resided, and stomping it into two pieces.

"Sorry," Yi Chen said as he glanced at the severed snake still writhing helplessly, then he released a bit of Extreme Origin to end the snake's suffering.

He turned his gaze toward the distance.

Through the thick mist within the deep valleys, a figure slowly emerged.

It was none other than Qian Xue, the frail and pale female cultivator with whom Yi Chen had once made acquaintance.

Seeing Yi Chen, she couldn't help but show a slightly ashamed expression.

"True Monarch, please forgive us. We didn't mean to hide the Kirin Holy Helm from you. Wearing it during cultivation can significantly boost our cultivation speed. My husband and I thus kept it a secret, planning to explain to you once both of us advanced to the True Monarch realm," she said.

"The item was something we stumbled upon unintentionally on the little island where we wished to retire..."

"Enough with the excuses. I'm not interested in these matters. Where is the Kirin Holy Helm? Bring it out for me to see," Yi Chen interrupted the woman.

"Let me make this clear, I always pay first and work later. If you cannot produce it, then you're on your own," he continued, gesturing dismissively.

Yi Chen was too lazy to point out the little tricks and calculations of Qiu Mulang and his company. After all, the Great Dao lay ahead, and if the Kirin Holy Helm was indeed as miraculous as they claimed, able to speed up the couple's cultivation, then it made sense for them to keep it hidden.

Different people are raised the same way, so one can't be too demanding in these matters. If the roles were reversed,Yi Chen himself might not be able to act with such integrity, so although he felt slightly displeased, he didn't make a big deal out of it.

"True Monarch, please follow me," Qian Xue said.

Qian Xue's complexion was as white as snow, and to Yi Chen's astonishment, she actually dug out a wooden box from beneath a large rock in the valley.

When the wooden box was opened, inside was a helmet that looked like it was made of stone, distinctly different from the material of the other parts of the Qilin Sacred Armor.

What surprised him even more was that aside from its odd shape, bearing the fierce visage of a qilin's head, it seemed to have no mystical aura whatsoever.

"Are you sure this is the Qilin Sacred Helmet?"

"After comparing it with my husband several times, I am certain this object is the Qilin Sacred Helmet. The True Monarch fails to recognize it at first sight because it conceals its divine nature."

"If it were someone else, Qian Xue would certainly not hand over the helmet first, but I trust the Star Lord, and you will know once you try it yourself."

Yi Chen's brow furrowed as he grasped the stone helmet, and suddenly, he felt a sensation of being connected by flesh and blood.

The five major components of the Qilin Sacred Armor on his body burst with joyful emotions, emitting a cyan glow, obviously thrilled.

Seeing this phenomenon, Yi Chen couldn't help but break into a wide grin and laugh heartily.

Ha ha.

It's done.

As the saying goes, what has been long divided will surely come together, and after many years of separation, the Qilin Sacred Armor was finally reunited by him.

Amidst the laughter, a mystical aura spread, and as the cyan light shimmered, the petrified Qilin Sacred Helmet began to crack slowly, also bursting into a cyan light.

The sound of stone chips falling was heard, and the Qilin Sacred Helmet finally revealed its edge once more. It suddenly split into three large components, floated in the air, and then covered Yi Chen's head.

It even covered his entire face, including the eyelids, which were covered with a layer of strange biological skin, displaying a gold and purple hue.

Beyond that, the transformation continued.

The six components of the Qilin Sacred Armor resonated together, and layers of strange biomembranes extended from inside the components, connecting to each other to form an extraordinary suit of armor. On the shoulders grew a pair of sinuous, upturned horns that were both fierce and elegant,

Under the cyan resonance, the color of the armor changed from deep cyan to blood-red, filled with towering malice and murderous energy, evidently resonating to unearth the bloodthirsty energy of the qilin that had been sedimented in the armor for countless years.

"Is this the Qilin Sacred Armor? According to legend, gathering all its components allows a mortal to be reborn and rival those who have reached Dao Mastery or even True Technique cultivators with this extraordinary treasure."

When the Sacred Armor was completely assembled, Yi Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the strange gold and purple skin on his eyelids gradually unfolded. At that moment, the world looked entirely different in Yi Chen's eyes.

It was as if someone who was nearsighted put on glasses for the first time; the world became unprecedentedly clear to him.

He saw qi, the unmoving flow of qi, the sparse and uneven qi, qi of all hues and kinds.

Unfortunately, through the perspective of the Qilin Sacred Armor, he clearly saw that no matter what kind of qi it was, it was all far away from him, as if avoiding a plague deity.

He was utterly confounded.

After consoling himself, Yi Chen took action.

He slowly clenched his fist!

An unparalleled strength flowed within his body, incredibly mighty, and in an instant, he felt an explosive increase in power, doubling and redoubling.

This strength was so potent it was intoxicating.

At that moment, Yi Chen felt an urge to try out the Ninth Halberd Move.

He had a premonition that perhaps without advancing to the next level of the True Technique, he could now execute the Ninth Halberd Move in its entirety without expending the light of his Primordial Spirit.

"What a powerful armor; perhaps there is no other treasure in this world more suited for this Daoist than the Qilin Sacred Armor."

"Now, I am so powerful it's almost inconceivable. With this power, the Sovereign of Evil Swords is nothing but trash before me now, torn to shreds in three moves!"

"If my True Technique were to advance further, and with the combined power, could I ascend to the heavens in one step, reach the peak of Dao Mastery, or even rise to a level comparable to breaking a limit once?"

For a time, Yi Chen's mind was filled with fanciful thoughts, and his heart wavered.

"Invincible Qilin, initiate!"

In Qian Xue's incredulous eyes, Yi Chen lightly stomped his foot, and instantly, a blaze of cyan-purple flame spread across the surface of the Qilin Sacred Armor.

With each step he took, terrifying flames spread from beneath his feet, the earth thundered, the wind wailed, and the crust cracked explosively, unable to withstand the high temperatures.

His feet, they tread upon the flames of war!

Yi Chen gazed at his hands, and as flames danced around, a pristine Holy Halberd suddenly appeared, emitting powerful contaminating light and spreading a potent aura of destruction.
