Chapter 84 – Armor Overlay


“Great, fantastic!”

“Oliver won!”

“Hahaha! The Sacred Tree blesses our Chen Clan!”

In the sky, many living souls couldn’t help but cheer with joy.

Tonight, the greatest crisis for the clan was this Innate Realm warrior, but now, this Innate Realm warrior was finally dead.

On the other side of the battlefield, with the help of numerous green specks, the Chen Clan also held a significant advantage.

Many members of the Liu Family were already severely injured and gradually losing ground. The only thing keeping them going was the hope that the great-uncle, an Innate Realm warrior, would return.

As long as the great-uncle returned, victory would still belong to the Liu Family!

But Liu Zishan had waited for a long time, watching his clan members fall one by one, yet he never saw the return of the great-uncle.

This gave Liu Zishan a bad feeling.

But on second thought, he guessed that the great-uncle might have found something else or was being held up. After all, the great-uncle mastered several profound-level combat skills and was a mid-stage Innate Realm warrior.

With the Chen Clan’s strength, it was impossible for them to be a match for the great-uncle.

As long as they held on a bit longer, the clan would surely achieve victory!

With this mindset, even though he was injured, Liu Zishan fought more fiercely. Unfortunately, the Chen Clan warriors, under the endless green specks, were like unkillable cockroaches, only dying when hit in vital spots.

But the Chen Clan warriors were aware of this, and their seemingly fearless attacks were actually well-guarded around their heads and hearts, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Just as Liu Zishan was about to rally the remaining clan members to hold on a bit longer, he suddenly saw a figure emerging from the darkness out of the corner of his eye.

Liu Zishan was overjoyed. Was the great-uncle back?

As the figure approached, Liu Zishan’s joyful expression turned to one of doubt. When he saw who it was, his face turned to fear and shock!

It was the great-uncle, but he was being carried like a chicken by a young man, lifeless.

The blood flowing from the great-uncle’s body formed a trail behind him, sending chills down one’s spine.

Even though he didn’t want to believe it, this scene was etched into Liu Zishan’s mind, leaving him stunned.

“How is this possible?”

“He’s just in the Blood Condensation Realm!”

Faced with the reality before him, the determination in Liu Zishan’s eyes vanished, and the sounds of battle brought him back to reality.

Seeing the few remaining clan members, Liu Zishan took a deep breath and shouted:

“Retreat, retreat!”

With these words, the remaining Liu Family members’ morale crumbled, and they fled.

“Chase them! Don’t let them escape!”

In the crowd, Mason Chen’s voice rang out.

Although he couldn’t withstand Liu Shengrong’s attack earlier, he quickly recovered with the help of the green specks, becoming the strongest in the subsequent battles. The explosion of his four organs even pushed him to the peak of the Blood Condensation Realm, giving him unparalleled strength.

Seeing Oliver Chen carrying Liu Shengrong’s corpse, he was momentarily stunned.

But hearing that the Liu Family members were fleeing, he couldn’t let them go and immediately set off to pursue them.

As they chased outside the clan, many clan members were still full of momentum. But as the remaining Liu Family members resisted, they realized something was wrong.

They had chased them out, but the green specks hadn’t followed.

Although the remaining Liu Family members were few, most of them were late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warriors.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

Just as everyone hesitated, Ethan Chen, exhausted, stepped forward from the crowd:

“Stop chasing!”

The reason the clan could fight was largely due to the power of the Sacred Tree.

But the power of the Sacred Tree was clearly limited to a certain range. Continuing the pursuit could reverse the situation.

Having already used the Five Organs Ascension Technique, they couldn’t boost their strength again in a short time.

Continuing the pursuit would be unwise.

Moreover, although the clan members’ injuries seemed to have recovered, the aftereffects of the Five Organs Ascension Technique were not just that simple. Even the power of the Sacred Tree couldn’t restore them fully in a short time.

“Clan Chief, letting the tiger return to the mountain will bring endless troubles.”

Ethan Chen sighed.

He knew this well. Although the Liu Family had lost many members, the remaining ones were still the elite. After some time to recuperate, the Liu Family would still be powerful.

In contrast, the clan had too few high-realm warriors.

This was different from the last time with the Li Family. At that time, the remaining Li Family warriors were not enough to threaten the clan.

If the Liu Family warriors returned and regrouped, the clan might not hold a significant advantage.

But leading the clan warriors to pursue now might not yield a better outcome.

“No need to say more, my decision is final.”

Ethan Chen waved his hand to stop the clan members who wanted to pursue.

In the Ancestral Hall, Benjamin Chen and others frowned.

If you don’t cut the weeds at the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze.

Moreover, the Liu Family also knew about the natural Blood Spring. Now, only the Liu Family was competing for it. But if the Liu Family felt revenge was hopeless and spread the news, would other clans come to seize it?

These were unknown risks.

Unfortunately, with the current strength of the clan, they couldn’t eliminate the remaining Liu Family members.

What was more regrettable was that they could only watch and couldn’t help the clan.

The sense of powerlessness left many souls in silence.

They had thought that being reborn was a good thing, but now it seemed it might not be.

As everyone remained silent, the Sacred Tree in the Ancestral Hall emitted a dazzling light again.

This made Benjamin Chen and others look up.

From the branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree, several Sophora leaves floated down.

Seeing this, everyone was puzzled. They already knew the function of these Sophora leaves: they could enhance the strength of the clan warriors and even temporarily boost their realm.

Moreover, the effect was better than the Five Organs Ascension Technique, at least without side effects.

But they were just souls without bodies. What use did these Sophora leaves have for them?

Even if their souls were strong, they couldn’t touch anything in the real world.

“Wait!”

At this moment, Benjamin Chen suddenly noticed something unusual.

This time, the Sophora leaves were not bright green but black.

What was the difference?

Everyone was puzzled, and the Sophora leaves soon landed in the hands of many souls.

Benjamin Chen reached out to catch a Sophora leaf, and the moment he did, the leaf in his hand quickly changed.

A layer of black armor extended from his arm to cover his entire body.

In less than a breath, his soul was completely encased in black armor, leaving only a pair of hollow eyes exposed.
