404: Martial arts heavy equipment

Zhang Huai and the Tiger Clan Ancestor were waiting.

The Tiger Clan Ancestor was actually quite bothered by this.

No, wait.

"We agreed to fight the Lion Clan, so why did you drag me here to work for you?"

"Kid Ye Su, don't go too far."

The Tiger Clan Ancestor was displeased.

But as soon as he saw the newcomer was a Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine...

Oh ho.

This... wasn't impossible.

After all, they were a Great Clan.

Furthermore, Ye Su had once again proven that his backing was the Star Spirit Clan.

The Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine was even more stunned upon seeing the Tiger Clan Ancestor.

The Yao Race!

The Yao Race's influence was incredibly vast.

This human whom Her Highness Lu Yiyi valued could actually mobilize an Ascension Nine of the Yao Race.

He really had something going for him.

Or rather, he had a lot going for him!

As for Zhang Huai's identity...

That was very easy to disguise.

There were far too many things in the Universe that had never been seen before.

To truly recognize him as an existence from the Calamity Chaos side, one would need a very sharp eye.

A Sovereign or someone of that level might be able to.

But for an Ascension Nine, don't even think about it.

"Alright, everyone."

Ye Su spoke up.

"The current situation is quite urgent, so I'll keep it brief."

"In the edge region of the Universe, a Heaven-Ascending Nine from the Star Spirit Clan and a Dreadnought Nine from the Tiangong Clan will be holding negotiations."

"Obviously, this does not align with our interests."

"Therefore, we have only one goal: to kill them!"

As soon as these words were spoken...

The Tiger Clan Ancestor's heart skipped a beat.

Wait—we're attacking the Peak Races right from the start?

And we're attacking two of them?

Me...?

Can I even do this?

But looking at that Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine, the Tiger Clan Ancestor felt that he had seemingly been pulled into a terrifying vortex.

In this vortex, there was the risk of being overturned, but also the opportunity to soar to great heights.

So...

He secretly asked Ye Su,

"They are Peak Races and possess Ascension Techniques. I—"

"Senior, why are we still talking about rules at a time like this?"

Ye Su responded directly,

"If your Tiger Clan doesn't have an Ascension Technique, then what about the Peak Great Clans? You wouldn't be able to reach them anyway, right?"

Ye Su was goading him.

The Yao Race definitely had Ascension Techniques.

In fact, many races had Ascension Techniques.

However, with the Peak Great Clans suppressing them, every race was scared to death to use them.

They were afraid the Peak Races would find an excuse to exploit them.

But now...

It wouldn't work if you didn't have an Ascension Technique.

Because not having an Ascension Technique meant your race had no potential!

The punishment from the Peak Races could be dealt with later.

Once the Ascension Technique was revealed, they could seize territory first.

At the very least, they could build a reputation, and enslaving other races would be much smoother!

Thus...

The Tiger Clan Ancestor understood.

In this battle, he had to show his Aura, right?

True, if one wanted to stand on equal footing with the Peak Races, one really had to show some real capability!

The Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine watched the Tiger Clan Ancestor's Battle Intent erupt.

It felt like a faint sense of provocation.

His heart immediately tightened.

'It seems I must use my full strength in this battle. I can't let other races look down on me!'

He thought to himself.

The group flew directly toward the edge of the Universe.

Two Ascension Nines, Zhang Huai, Ye Su, and the Blood Nether Army under his command.

The three powerhouses would deal with the enemy's powerhouses.

While Ye Su and the Blood Nether Army would intercept and kill all the remaining personnel in this area.

"I've diverted computing power from the pheromone network. From the backend, I've locked onto all life forms within a few light-years,"

Ye Su said in the combat channel.

"There are no ambushes."

Ye Su was using the pheromone network. If the enemy's ambushers were all using the spirit net, then Ye Su would just have to admit defeat.

Because if the opponent had even sorted out the events behind both networks, then they would definitely be clearer about all the schemes than he was.

In that case, admitting defeat would be the only option.

"You three powerhouses will surround and kill the two Ascension Nines."

"We will take care of the remaining small fry."

The edge of the Universe was a pure land where the heavens will oath would be very clear.

That's why many large-scale negotiations were held at the edge of the Universe.

This was also what Lu Yiyi had said back then.

Ye Su had to jump out of the Blue Star; otherwise, if he stayed there, there was a chance a passing powerhouse might casually blow up the Blue Star one day.

"Understood!"

The Tiger Clan Ancestor was full of confidence.

He could use the Ascension Technique?

Then his self-confidence surged.

He had always believed that the Ascension Nines of the Peak Great Clans were only slightly stronger because they could use Ascension Techniques.

Once he used his own Ascension Technique, he definitely wouldn't be inferior!

The Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine and Zhang Huai both appeared quite calm on the surface.

The Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine was confident; he was among the strongest group of Ascension Nines in the Star Spirit Clan.

As for Zhang Huai—he was someone who could insta-kill an Ascension Level Eight, so he certainly had the ability.

"Captain Ye, both the Star Spirit Clan and the Tiangong Clan have an Ascension Five present."

Mo Xiaoyu was checking various information in the back.

Li Dehai had given Mo Xiaoyu very high authority.

"Don't worry, I'll handle them,"

Ye Su said.

This was where the Yanhuang Clan fell short.

They had almost no mid-level combat forces.

The high-end had Zhang Huai.

The rest were all below Ascension Five.

The Tiangong Clan and Star Spirit Clan wanted to stop the war?

What a joke!

My countless Yanhuang Clan members are waiting to be fed, just waiting for this wave to directly surge up.

If the Universe wasn't in chaos...

Small clans would have no chance to develop at all!

At the edge of the Universe...

"I think it makes sense for us to form an Alliance and become all-weather strategic partners."

The Star Spirit Clan Heaven-Ascending Nine said to the Tiangong Clan Dreadnought Nine.

"I know your Sovereign has always been a model for the independence faction."

"Advocating for the Tiangong Clan's independence and using various equipment and Blood Qi Heavy Armor to gain profits."

"But in fact, we had a proposal for Martial Arts Heavy Armor long ago."

"This thing... is the core to controlling the Universe!"

The Tiangong Clan Dreadnought Nine had a thousand thoughts racing through his mind.

Peak Great Clans.

Not to mention the many factions within their own clan.

Even their subordinate races had a vast array of their own ideas.

Martial Arts Heavy Armor.

This was the most shocking thing the Tiangong Clan and Star Spirit Clan had come up with back then.

That was—to directly engrave martial arts into heavy armor.

Cultivate?

There was no need to Cultivate at all.

One only needed to focus single-mindedly on walking the Ascension Path.

The combat power coefficient of martial arts would be provided by the heavy armor.

In fact, it could directly provide power rank 20.

It could even be made in the form of plugins.

When you took a step up the Ascension Path...

You just swapped to a new set of plugins.

As long as you had money...

You wouldn't even need to Cultivate to be a solid powerhouse of the era.

This path was killed off by the Tiangong Clan Sovereign as soon as it was born.

But now...

The resistance had vanished.

Perhaps it was time to restart the Martial Arts Heavy Armor project.

Thinking about this...

It was truly terrifying.

The Star Spirit Clan suddenly attacked the Tiangong Clan, and the Tiangong Clan's Sovereign was directly sacrificed.

Could there be no hidden story?

A combat force at the Sovereign level went offline far too abruptly.

And...

The start of the Great Universe War...

Was also the best breeding ground for Martial Arts Heavy Armor.

Perhaps...

Several Peak Great Clans would decline.

But it would definitely not be the Tiangong Clan or the Star Spirit Clan!

"The Universe should have been like this long ago!"

The Tiangong Clan Dreadnought Nine reached out his hand.

The next second...

The two of them gripped hands tightly.

They were even about to represent their respective factions and swear a Heavenly Dao oath.

Roar—a tiger's roar resounded.

Space shattered.

An unfamiliar heavens will directly polluted the pure heavens will Aura at the edge of the Universe.

The heavens will oath could not be condensed for the time being!
