Chapter 1068: Skull Crushers, Recast!
“Can my totem armor be upgraded as well?”
Seeing the Platinum Ripper’s shocking change, Meng Chao could not help but ask.
“Of course. The totem armor’s most notable feature is its ability to perfectly match its owner’s characteristics. However, it can only achieve this on the altar.”
Ice Storm stepped out of the blue light pillar. Looking at her brand new totem armor, she was also in a good mood. She smiled and said, “With temples everywhere, the map is of great use!”
Under her guidance, Meng Chao stepped into the blue light pillar as well.
The shining rays that seemed to contain infinite starlight slowly seeped into the armor.
In Meng Chao’s field of vision, several hundred lines of cuneiform characters formed commands.
It was similar to Dragon City’s mobile phone and computer operating system, which were upgraded, unlocked, and added with different functional modules.
Although Meng Chao did not understand the meaning of most of the instructions…
The ancient Turan people had clearly considered the problem of their civilization’s decline or even collapse. They had very thoughtfully prepared a large number of visual instructions for the latecomers.
In the form of three-dimensional, shining golden little people, they vividly explained to Meng Chao which battle modules were included in the current totem armor, and what special functions each battle module had, and which spirit meridians he needed to activate and control.
If he wanted to display the famous 249’s ultimate skill in the past, which battle modules were involved, how to cultivate them, and so on.
What surprised Meng Chao the most was that the mysterious power contained in the temple altar gave him several different directions to upgrade his totem armor according to his own characteristics…
Just like how Ice Storm’s Platinum Ripper turned the huge ax blade into six sharp and agile claws.
Meng Chao could also transform the legendary peerless lethal weapons, the Skull Crushers, from the form of the raging flame war hammers to the form of the chain blade.
It was too good!
Although Meng Chao had just awakened and become an extraordinaire, he had received the Demon Subduing Pole taught by Principal Sun of Ninth High School, which did not exclude the path of strength and assault.
However, the two enormous blazing war hammers had slightly exceeded the limits of his ability to control them.
After all, he was a reaper. His fingertips had touched countless of the most sensitive and crispy monster materials. His ten fingers were far more flexible than ordinary warriors.
In his previous life, he had also received lessons from the black skeleton training camp as a ghost assassin. He was even better at stealth assassination than Ice Storm.
If he used a war hammer that was even bigger than his own head as his main weapon, it would be a waste of his talent in these two areas.
Through the temple altar, he had transformed the Skull Crushers from meteor hammers into two huge chain blades. Not only did it retain the destructive power of an indestructible weapon, it was also more beneficial for his delicate and precise control. It could not be better!
Meng Chao did not hesitate to choose this direction of leveling up.
At the same time, he chose to ‘Reforge’the Totems. He removed the large number of battle armor fragments that he had devoured in the ‘game of the brave’over the past half a month and refined them once again.
This was because his totem battle armor was completely pieced together and continuously snatched from the hands of the clan warriors.
For example, the battle armor fragments of low-level clan warriors such as Big Buck were still passable in the past.
However, in front of the legendary gladiator, 249’s Skull Crushers, these crudely made pieces of armor were not enough to look at. They were barely put together and were too incongruous.
Ice Storm told Meng Chao that although the materials used to condense totem armor were not ordinary metals, they were not limited by weight and volume. They could be stacked repeatedly with ultra-high density and ultra-light weight.
However, there was a limit to this kind of stacking.
As the saying went, “Too much is too little.” If too many low-level totem armor were stacked repeatedly on an owner’s body, not only would it not help increase their combat strength, the different types of totem power would instead interfere with each other and weaken the owner’s output, it would increase the burden on the owner.
Since Meng Chao already had such ferocious ancient weapons such as the Skull Crushers.
Many of the mid-to low-level fragments of the battle armor could be broken down again and expelled from his body.
This would also help Meng Chao to have enough space and load capacity in his body when he obtained higher-level fragments of the totem battle armor in the future, allowing him to insert a brand new function module into it.
Her suggestion was exactly the same as Meng Chao’s idea.
In the dim blue light beam, Meng Chao’s face was flushed red. The flesh and blood all over his body exerted strength together. After exhausting a lot of effort, he finally managed to extract dozens of odd-shaped fragments of the totem battle armor from 36,000 pores, they were secreted in the form of liquid metal and condensed outside his body. Then, they scattered all over the ground.
At this moment, the upgrade of the totem armor was completed.
After removing a large number of low-level pieces of armor, the armor on Meng Chao’s body seemed to have shrunk slightly.
However, just like Ice Storm’s Platinum Ripper, it was more suitable for its owner’s figure and temperament.
The magma that was originally aggressive and filled the sky had turned into dark red rays that were low-key and reserved, outlining the soul-stirring muscles all over Meng Chao’s body.
It made him look like a nearly perfect steel statue that had just walked out of a furnace.
The two meteor hammers transformed into two chain blades, one big and one small, one long and one short. Countless scorching red patterns were entangled on the surface of the chain blades, forming a meandering dragon pattern, it was as if two fire dragons were crouching on top of it, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
The chain wound all the way from Meng Chao’s palm to the end of his arm, as if two dragon veins that had a physical body were trembling slightly along with his heartbeat and breathing.
Not only did it expand the range of his attack to thirty to fifty arms, when it was tightly wound, it could also greatly increase the defensive power of his arms and the power of his hammers.
Boom!
Meng Chao crossed his arms and smashed them heavily. His blood was boiling, and he felt that he was full of heroism.
He vaguely felt that he had finally gotten rid of the side effects of the three-hundred-round battle with “Lu Siya.”
Not only had he completely recovered his five-star spirit senses, but he had also completely recovered his five-star spirit senses.
His combat ability had also broken through to the peak of Heaven Realm. He was striding toward the Deity Realm!
Shoo! Shoo!
With a telepathic thought, Meng Chao’s shoulders did not move at all. Just by the rotation of his wrists and the ejection of his ten fingers, the two chains that looked like giant sabers were already whistling out and stabbing deep into the ground twenty arms away.
Surging vitality magnetic field and spirit energy pushed the totem power to be released as much as possible. Two streaks of red light flashed on the two chains, and where the chains stabbed into the ground, two enormous flames immediately burst out, two pools of magma were bubbling up.
Meng Chao roared in a low voice and raised his arms together. With himself as the center, the two legs of the chains that looked like compasses almost drew a huge and perfect circle on the ground twenty arms away.
Wherever the chains touched, magma was flowing everywhere. The flames even rose to the height of seven or eight arms, forming a solid wall of fire.
It was not inferior to the raging flames that the legendary gladiator, 249 had just unleashed.
Meng Chao carefully observed the color and shape of the flames.
He also nervously analyzed the rate at which his spirit energy was being consumed and the level of his consciousness. He tried to establish a coordinate system and find out where his limits were at each stage so that he could decide on the next stage, or the tactical choice he would make in the face of an enemy.
After a moment, he had an idea.
Grinning, he withdrew his spirit energy and the chain blade.
He was not most satisfied with the Skull Crushers’ strength but with the totem armor’s three forms.
There was the Grim Reaper Scythe form that emphasized speed, agility, and stealth…
The Demon Subduing Pole form that emphasized strength and assault…
Then, when they were in the form of the Skull Crushers, they could utilize the power of the flames from the Blood Hoof Clan and terrifying power to bring out the full extent of their magic and magic control!
Meng Chao felt that if he were to face “Lu Siya” again at this moment, the ending would definitely be different from the last battle.
He would definitely be able to suppress the forest banshee.
Of course, the prerequisite was that “Lu Siya” was still at the same level as the last time they parted.
She should not become a banshee and evolve into a strange and new form.
Speaking of which, Meng Chao was not prepared to return to Dragon City for the time being.
Right now was the crucial moment when the storm in Picturesque Orchid Lake was raging.
With such a powerful strength in his hands, wouldn’t it be a pity if he did not try to step on the giant waves and control the storm?
Thinking of this, Meng Chao raised his head and looked at the dome of Blood Skull Temple that the altar pointed to.
On the dome, hundreds of stars were shining under the surging life magnetic field of the two people and the reflection of the dark blue light pillar.
There seemed to be mountains and rivers connecting between the stars, condensing into a very precise and detailed map.
This was… Picturesque Orchid Lake’s map?
Meng Chao cast his curious gaze at the ice storm.
Ice Storm instantly understood what he meant and nodded. “This is indeed the entire map of Picturesque Orchid Lake. As for the specks of starlight on it, they are scattered around the temples of Picturesque Orchid Lake.
“On the altars of every temple, there is such a map that tells the Turan people today where the ancient ancestral spirits reside.
“After tens of millions of years of turmoil and battles, natural disasters and man-made disasters were unceasing. Many settlements and even tribes were annihilated in the long river of time. Even the temples that they worshipped day and night were often buried in the depths of desolate ruins because of landslides and the passage of weapons.
“Just like the ‘Great extermination order’ more than three thousand years ago — that was when the Turan people were at their weakest and the human beings of the holy light were at their strongest.
“The army that came from the land of Holy Light and grew wings on their backs easily broke through the outer defense line of Picturesque Orchid Lake and burned down countless glorious towns with ten thousand years of history.
“The temples in these towns had no choice but to sink underground and enter a thousand years of eternal slumber.
“However, as long as the Turan people still have one temple left, and as long as the coordinates of all the temples are still shining in this temple, the Turan people will sooner or later be able to find and awaken all the temples and regain the totem power as well as the blessing of the ancestral spirits
