230: The divine weapon turned out to be a trap; the ultimate divine and demonic armor has been unearthed!

She finally came to a realization.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Lu Sheng had never thought about changing his weapon.

This man's thought process was fundamentally different from that of a normal person!

Just as Luo Tianfei was considering whether to ask Lu Sheng about his next move...

"Hahahaha..."

"Hahahahahahaha!!"

A burst of aged, playful laughter, filled with praise and delight, exploded in the sea of stars without warning.

It was the Gatekeeper!

His phantom slowly condensed before the two of them, and his eternally unchanging face was now filled with undisguised appreciation.

"Not bad, not bad! Truly not bad!"

The Gatekeeper laughed while clapping his hands, looking at Lu Sheng as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"With ten thousand divine weapons before you, you remained as still as a mountain, unmoved. Instead, you were able to see through the surface, point directly to your heart, and consider your most fundamental needs."

The Gatekeeper laughed until tears almost came out. He turned to the bewildered Luo Tianfei and explained, "Little girl, this Xianqin Treasury is both a gift and the test for this trial."

"What is being tested is your true heart!"

"If you had been blinded by the divine weapons before you, discarded your most suitable Spirit Source Life Weapon, and chosen these powerful external objects..."

The Gatekeeper's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a hint of lingering fear: "Then your Souls would have been forever trapped within this Sea of Illusions constructed by the will of the weapons, until they were ground into nothingness to become nourishment for these divine weapons."

Boom!

Upon hearing these words, Luo Tianfei felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out across her back.

An illusion!

This treasury was actually a trap!

If she had taken just one more step, if her fingertips had touched that Purple Flame Divine Sword, she would probably have already... At the thought of those terrifying consequences, Luo Tianfei's pretty face instantly turned pale, and the look in her eyes as she watched Lu Sheng became incredibly complex.

It was that Big Bug again... If it hadn't been for his bizarre thought process, she would have... However, her relief at surviving the disaster was quickly replaced by an even stronger surge of shame and indignation.

"You old geezer! You've schemed against us again!!"

Luo Tianfei reacted and her fur instantly stood on end as she pointed at the Gatekeeper's nose and cursed loudly.

She felt like a monkey being repeatedly toyed with, played within the palm of this improper old fellow's hand!

"Senior, your schemes are too deep," Lu Sheng's face also darkened as he looked at the Gatekeeper and complained speechlessly. "I almost fell for your trick. Can we have a bit more sincerity in the future?"

"Heh, warfare is the Dao of deception."

The Gatekeeper didn't care about their complaints at all; instead, he stroked his phantom beard with satisfaction.

"Without the heart of a powerhouse that can see through the false and adhere to one's true self, even if you were given more divine Sharp Weapons, you would ultimately be destined to be cannon fodder when facing the endless schemes of the Abyss in the future."

"I am very gratified that you were able to pass the test."

He looked at the two of them, a gratified smile of 'a promising youth' appearing on his face.

Immediately, he waved his hand.

Swish—

The brilliant sea of stars composed of ten thousand divine weapons around them receded like a tide, or like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water shattering, instantly turning into nothingness and vanishing without a trace.

The entire space returned to the ancient and desolate original appearance of the Bronze Divine Hall.

"Since you have passed the final test, it is also time for you to receive your true rewards."

The Gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of unprecedented solemnity and gratification.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Buzz—!

Ten streaks of light of different colors, with mighty and overbearing forms and emitting a terrifying aura, suddenly shot out from the Void Realm above the hall!

They were like living stars, circling and dancing around Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei before finally hovering quietly in front of them.

The light dissipated.

Ten sets of divine armor, each with a different design but all emitting an immortal charm and surging pressure, were presented before them.

One was pitch black, as if forged from the dark night and dragon scales. The pauldrons were ferocious dragon heads, filled with an aura of dominance and destruction; it was a set of heavy armor.

One was crimson like fire, as if woven from Phoenix wings. Its lines were smooth and magnificent, emitting a sense of holiness and immortality; it was a set of light armor.

One was deep blue like the sea, with water-like light patterns flowing over the armor, filled with the power of life and inclusivity; it was a Mage Robe... Each piece of divine armor was like a perfect combination of art and war.

The pressure they emitted was not inferior to any of the divine weapons in the sea of stars just now!

This was the true gift left behind by the Xianqin Civilization!

"These are the ten supreme sets of divine armor forged by the Xianqin First Emperor back then, using the power of the entire civilization. He slew ten Outer Realm Gods and Demons and used their divine bones and Divine Souls to create them."

The Gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of reminiscence and pride.

"Each of them possesses world-shattering power, and each represents a path leading above the Sequences."

"You may each choose one from among them."

"Go ahead."

The Gatekeeper's phantom became increasingly transparent, and his voice gradually became ethereal.

"In this life, the future of the Human Race..."

"...is left to you."

The Gatekeeper's voice, like an ancient echo, slowly dissipated in the empty Bronze Divine Hall.

His phantom also completely turned into points of starlight, merging into this ancient hall.

Silence once again fell within the hall.

Only the ten supreme sets of divine armor remained, hovering in the air and emitting immortal divine light and terrifying pressure, quietly waiting for their new masters to choose.

Lu Sheng and Luo Tianfei stood in place, not moving for a long time.

Both of their gazes were fixed firmly on the ten sets of divine armor before them, and their breathing involuntarily became heavy.

Shock!

Unparalleled shock!

This was true God-tier gear!

Lu Sheng's gaze was immediately drawn to the pitch-black heavy armor with ferocious dragon-head pauldrons.

Seeing the information fed back by his Dragon Eyes, Lu Sheng took a sharp breath.

His heart rate suddenly accelerated at this moment!

How was this just battle armor?

This was clearly a walking war fortress!

Especially the third trait—Divine Dragon Transformation!

An additional 30% boost to all attributes!

This meant that once he put on this battle armor, his normal strength could soar from 35 tons directly to nearly 46 tons!

If he activated his Dragon Form, under the five-fold boost and then stacking this 30%... what kind of terrifying number would that be?!

He didn't even dare to imagine it!

"This is the one!"

An unprecedented longing erupted in Lu Sheng's eyes.

This dragon god emperor armor was practically tailor-made for him!

At the same time, Luo Tianfei on the other side also found her 'destiny.'

Her gaze fell obsessively on the magnificent light armor that was crimson like fire, as if woven from Phoenix wings.

Luo Tianfei's delicate body trembled slightly due to extreme excitement.

Speed, recovery, life-saving, damage boost... Once she put it on, her strength would undergo a true qualitative transformation!

The two of them glanced at each other, no longer having any hesitation.

"I choose this one."

"I want this one."

Almost at the same time, the two of them reached out their hands and pointed at their respective favored sets of divine armor.

Buzz—!

As if sensing the will of the two of them.

The domineering dragon god emperor armor and the magnificent and noble Divine Phoenix Heavenly Raiment emitted a soft chime simultaneously.

They transformed into two streaks of light, one black and one red, and instantly charged towards their respective chosen masters!
