205: The magical artifacts are returned to their rightful place, displaying imperial majesty!
When Su Yang and his group appeared once again.
The scene outside the mountain gate was completely different from half a month ago.
The Soul Piercing Ice had not melted in the slightest; the over seventy thousand people of the Seven Sects were now kneeling on the ground like a vast army of ice sculptures, their auras weakened to the extreme.
As someone who had undergone Transmigration, Su Yang's first reaction upon seeing this scene was that they were living Terracotta Warriors!
They looked just like them!
Truly, they looked so much like them!
Not only was the scale massive, but each of their expressions was also incredibly vivid; it was just that these were the painful version of Terracotta Warriors.
The area around the treasure-offering platform was surrounded by mountains of genuine supreme treasures.
Rays of treasure light of various colors and Devilish Qi shot into the sky, intertwining and colliding to form a terrifying cloud of treasure aura and demonic energy.
The Disciples of the Seven Sects who had arrived to deliver the treasures knelt in the distance, not daring to even raise their heads, their bodies trembling under the dual pressure of the vast treasure aura and the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path's might.
Cold Moon swept her gaze over the mountains of treasures, a barely perceptible ripple flashing through her eyes—these were the true accumulations of the various sects of the Demonic Path over tens of thousands of years.
She looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang was currently sensing whether the three components of the eternal emperor battle armor were among these treasures.
This time, Su Yang felt a clear and intense resonance with treasures in three different locations in the distance!
One came from deep within the main body of the ten thousand souls banner!
One had transformed into a Magic Treasure of the Blood Sea Sect!
The final one was connected to a certain arm bone of the Ancestral Corpse of the Myriad Skeletons Sect!
"Found them."
A brilliant golden light flared in Su Yang's eyes.
He took a step forward, treading on the Void Realm, and arrived above the treasure-offering platform.
He did not touch any of the treasures, but simply raised his arms slowly. As his internal True Qi circulated quietly, the runes of the mystic gold armor appeared on his chest and abdomen, and an ancient, majestic aura began to permeate from him.
"Hum!!!"
The main body of the ten thousand souls banner suddenly shook violently.
On the surface of the banner, the countless wailing resentful Souls and ghosts sensed some kind of summons and let out silent shrieks!
Immediately, a speck of dark golden light detached from the core of the banner and slowly rose.
At the same time, among the pile of Magic Treasures contributed by the Blood Sea Sect, a token emitted a faint light, slowly rising from the pile and drifting toward Su Yang.
"Crack!"
The arm bone of the Myriad Skeletons Sect's Ancestral Corpse automatically snapped, flew up, and disintegrated in mid-air, revealing a flowing phantom of a dark river within.
The three beams of light, like subjects summoned by an emperor, tore through the Void Realm and flew straight toward Su Yang, carrying a majesty that made all the supreme treasures of the Demonic Path present tremble!
Under the gaze of countless eyes stunned into a daze,
the light that had detached from the ten thousand souls banner condensed on Su Yang's left leg, transforming into a leg guard exuding an intense aura of devouring and suppression—the abyssal legguards!
The token from the Blood Sea Sect turned into a stream of light that wrapped around Su Yang's right foot, forming a battle boot, with spatial ripples appearing on the sole.
The Void-Rending Battle Boots appeared on Su Yang's right foot!
Although there was only one, looking somewhat awkward and strange, the appearance of this single battle boot caused the surrounding space to produce a distinct sense of distortion and control.
The Ancestral Corpse itself did not possess the characteristic of immortality; the reason that corpse could bestow the immortality characteristic upon the Myriad Skeletons Sect was precisely because of this right arm bone, which had transformed from the Dark River Arm Guard.
At this moment, the arm bone transformed into a dark river phantom and arrived before Su Yang, wrapping around his right arm in a perfect fit.
A phantom of a rushing dark river circled the arm guard, surging with an endless, ceaseless aura.
The right arm of the Dark River Arm Guard had officially returned!
The moment the three components were equipped, the mystic gold armor also automatically appeared.
"Boom!!!"
A circle of brilliant, dazzling dark golden light erupted from around Su Yang!
Within the light, faint phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars rose and fell, the veins of mountains and rivers appeared, and an imperial will that governed the eight wildernesses and was eternal from ancient times permeated the air.
His originally handsome figure, set off by the mystic gold armor, abyssal legguards, Void-Rending Battle Boots, and Dark River Arm Guard, appeared tall and majestic.
His black hair moved without wind, and golden light swirled as he opened and closed his eyes, as if a war God Emperor from ancient times had descended here!
The towering Devilish Qi and baleful light emitted by those supreme Demonic Path treasures earlier, under the shroud of this dark golden light and imperial will, rapidly receded as if snow meeting the scorching sun; even these demonic treasures were instinctively expressing submission and fear under such powerful might!
"This... what on earth is this armor?!"
"Our sect's ten thousand souls banner... actually hid such a divine object?!"
"This person beside the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path... what exactly is his background?!"
"Could the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path's purpose in having us offer treasures be for this...?"
The weakened Soul Extinguisher and the others looked up at Su Yang in the air, their eyes unable to hide their shock.
They had originally thought that the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path demanding all the supreme treasures was either to consolidate the resources of the Demonic Path, perhaps to reward trusted aides, or perhaps for some other deep scheme.
They never expected that this silent, handsome young man beside the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path would, at this moment, summon such powerful armor components from their sect-protecting treasures, which they regarded as their lives and which had been passed down for ten thousand years!
And looking at the way those armor components automatically returned and fit perfectly, it was clear they had long since recognized a master!
Who exactly is this person?
What is his relationship with the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path?
What is the origin of this armor?
Why would it be hidden among these Magic Treasures of the Demonic Path?
There were many questions.
But they clearly would not get any answers.
Cold Moon stood slightly behind Su Yang's side, watching Su Yang, who was clad in partial armor with his majesty just beginning to show, and a clear sense of pride and adoration flowed through her cold, clear eyes.
Crimson Phoenix's expression was the same.
Although it was only partial armor, Su Yang's aura was becoming more and more like the him from the past!
Needless to say, Bai Lingxi and Wen Yunyao, watching Su Yang floating in the air, each had eyes sparkling with brilliance; in their infatuation, their heartbeats quickened, and they were filled with adoration—this was their man!
Just looking at him, he was so strong, wasn't he!
Su Yang did not look at them.
Feeling the immense power and the increase in completeness brought by the three newly added components, he felt delighted in his heart.
With a thought, the dark golden light receded, and the three components turned into streams of light and vanished into his body; the astonishing imperial pressure also dissipated along with it.
And on his right arm, left leg, and right foot, corresponding patterns appeared.
Su Yang returned to his normal appearance, landed back beside Cold Moon, and nodded without speaking, as if that scene that had shocked the entire audience had never happened.
But outside the mountain gate.
There was a deathly silence.
Countless gazes of terror and awe all proved that everything that had just happened was real and true.
Cold Moon swept a glance at the members of the Seven Sects who were still kneeling on the Soul Piercing Ice and said coldly, "Since the treasures have all arrived, this punishment shall temporarily cease."
Cold Moon waved her hand and removed the Soul Piercing Ice.
The over seventy thousand people collapsed to the ground as if their bones had been removed, yet no one cared about their own disheveled state; they struggled to crawl up and kneel properly.
"Thank you, Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path, for your mercy in sparing our lives!"
The pain of the Soul Piercing Ice that had reached their Souls disappeared, and everyone's complexion improved a little.
This thing's level of harm to each person was different; the stronger the strength, the higher the damage and the more painful it was, maintaining a state where everyone felt that death would be better than life, yet without actually letting everyone die.
This was exactly what made Cold Moon formidable as the Holy Venerable of the Demonic Path.
Cold Moon ignored them any further and cast her gaze toward the mountains of supreme treasures from the various sects, her voice spreading throughout the entire scene: "All treasures shall be left behind for now; do not act rashly."
"Sect Masters of the Seven Sects, I give you three days to recover. Three days later, we shall discuss matters at the Heavenly Secret Hall."
"Now, all of you, disperse."
The order was given, and no one dared to have any objections.
The members of the Seven Sects felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and with hearts full of shock and confusion, they began to clean up the aftermath and set up camp on the spot.
