Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1440: Chapter 1467: Black Dragon Armor

Fortunately.

Jiang Fan was wearing the middle-aged man’s mask. Once he successfully left, no one would care if he took off the mask.

However, just as he moved, the Golden Scale Venerate detected the anomaly.

"Is there someone else here?" The Golden Scale Venerate’s expression tightened.

Before seeing the Black Lotus of Tribulation, he could not allow anyone to leave this place.

Immediately, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body, illuminating the surrounding heavens and earth.

Under the golden light, Jiang Fan and Yue Mingzhu’s figures were revealed.

"It’s you?" The Golden Scale Venerate instantly recognized Jiang Fan and frowned deeply: "Is the Black Lotus of Tribulation on you?"

Jiang Fan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp; this Black Lotus of Tribulation was indeed trouble.

In an instant, he attracted the attention of two Great Venerates.

The Black Dragon Venerable’s face darkened, and his long tail swept behind him, slashing toward the Golden Scale Venerate, shouting:

"Leave quickly!"

Jiang Fan didn’t dare to hesitate and hurriedly made his escape.

Yue Mingzhu was incredulous, never expecting to draw the attention of two terrifying Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerates.

Nor did he anticipate that the Black Lotus of Tribulation, containing tremendous fortune, would fall into Jiang Fan’s hands.

He had no choice; for safety’s sake, he could only flee with Jiang Fan.

The Golden Scale Venerate was certain that the Black Lotus of Tribulation was on Jiang Fan.

While blocking the Black Dragon Venerable’s massive tail, he urgently said:

"Sir, the Black Lotus of Tribulation cannot leave the interlayer world!"

"Otherwise, it will bring calamity to Central Earth!"

"You must leave it behind."

Jiang Fan appeared hesitant.

The Golden Scale Venerate’s words likely weren’t baseless.

For generations, those of Spiritual Snake Mountain knew of the interlayer world’s existence and were aware of the Black Lotus of Tribulation.

Yet no one had ever taken it out, proving that this item was indeed forbidden.

However, if he took it out, wouldn’t that offend the Black Dragon Venerable?

If the other party got angry, he might not have a chance to leave.

Thinking it over, he clasped his hands and said, "Sorry, Golden Scale Venerate, the Black Dragon Venerable is my master."

"I must follow orders."

Master?

The Golden Scale Venerate frowned deeply, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "In that case, don’t blame me!"

He had initially admired Jiang Fan, but unfortunately, the other had already aided the wicked!

The Black Dragon Venerable’s expression subtly changed; if the Golden Scale Venerate attacked at all costs, he might not be able to protect Jiang Fan.

A strike from a Heavenly Human Five Declines is something even a fraction of which Jiang Fan, who is in the Nascent Soul Realm, cannot withstand.

Thinking of this, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

With a flick of his tail, a large area of scales shed, flashing to Jiang Fan’s side, and adhered to his skin.

Except for his seven orifices, his whole body was wrapped in black scales.

Jiang Fan was secretly startled; what was this?

Wouldn’t it be harmful?

What made him even more uneasy was that the scales slowly sank beneath his skin, merging with his body.

"With my Black Dragon Armor for protection, you just leave!"

Armor?

Only then did Jiang Fan feel slightly at ease and hurriedly left.

The Golden Scale Venerate’s eyes were sharp, and he snorted: "Want to leave?"

He suddenly spat out a breath of golden energy, which transformed into countless tiny golden snakes rushing towards Jiang Fan.

"It’s already too late, Golden Scale!" The Black Dragon Venerable pushed forward with both palms, and a shadow of a giant black python appeared behind him.

The giant python opened its mouth and sucked in, swallowing most of the golden snakes.

Only a few fell.

Among them, a golden snake struck toward Yue Mingzhu like lightning.

Jiang Fan’s face changed dramatically.

This was a strike from a Great Venerate!

For someone at the Nascent Soul Realm, it’s nothing short of destruction.

Without thinking, the golden snake already struck him.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking he was doomed.

However, to his surprise.

Aside from some stinging, there was no additional pain.

Looking down, the scales hidden beneath his skin had unknowingly emerged and attached to his body surface.

The golden snake shot at his chest, turning into a golden halo and dissipating.

Jiang Fan was full of disbelief.

This Black Dragon Armor could actually withstand a Great Venerate’s remaining might?

He couldn’t help but feel parched; this was a heaven-defying treasure!

At this moment.

Another golden snake shot towards Yue Mingzhu.

Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate, pulling her into his arms and using his back to block the golden snake.

Hiss!

A distinctly sharper pain than before hit him, causing Jiang Fan to inhale sharply.

The Black Dragon Venerable shouted: "Don’t worry about others!"

"This armor requires True Spirit Blood to activate, and with each defense, its protective power diminishes."

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth against the pain, said no more, and instantly transported away with Yue Mingzhu.

The Golden Scale Venerate’s expression changed, but when he tried to pursue, the Black Dragon Venerable intercepted him.

"Black Dragon! Are you ignoring Central Earth? That thing is an ominous item even in the Hell Realm!"

The Black Dragon Venerable replied indifferently: "Central Earth can’t be defended this time."

"I should also prepare for my own backup plan!"

"Spiritual Snake Mountain must be in my hands!"

At the horizon.

Jiang Fan flashed out, and intense struggling came from his arms.

The unsightly girl fiercely pushed him away, angrily scolding: "Let me go!"

Her words carried a bit of anger.

Jiang Fan released her and frowned slightly.

What an ungrateful woman.

He saved her, and instead of gratitude, she got angry.

Yue Mingzhu scrubbed her arm, which had contact with Jiang Fan, full of shame and anger: "Who told you to touch me?"

Besides Jiang Fan, she didn’t want anyone to touch her.

Anyone!

Jiang Fan shrugged: "I’m not interested in ugly women, don’t think too much!"

Yue Mingzhu was infinitely annoyed, but she knew she couldn’t blame him.

She seriously said: "I appreciate the intention, but don’t worry about me next time."

"I only love my man and don’t want any contact with anyone else."

Oh?

Jiang Fan showed a hint of surprise.

Unexpectedly, this unsightly girl was so chaste.

It was quite the contrast with her enigmatic personality.

He suddenly admired her a bit; though her looks were lacking, her character was rare.

He cupped his hands and said: "Apologies, it was a temporary measure, I’ll be mindful in the future."

"We should leave, it’s not safe to linger here."

Besides the two Great Venerates fighting, the entire interlayer world continued to shake violently, showing signs of collapse and destruction.

Yue Mingzhu nodded and proactively took out a large scroll, unfolding it and hopping on first.

Then she pointed to a corner and said: "Sit far from me."

What’s this about?

He jumped onto the scroll and sat in the far corner.

The next moment, the scroll instantaneously transported a hundred miles away, and then continued its instant transportation.

In a few breaths, they traversed a thousand miles, faster than his Cloud Shadow technique!

"Having a Great Venerate as a teacher is really something!" Jiang Fan said with genuine envy.

Yue Mingzhu glanced back at him and said: "You aren’t simple either."

"Commanding Hell Creatures, that’s not something an ordinary person can do."

Previously, when Yue Mingzhu was pursued by Hell Creatures, Jiang Fan easily dispersed them, which led her to this conclusion.

Jiang Fan smiled, saying nothing more.

He took out the soul of the Divinity Transformation Venerable from Divine Weapon State, as well as its Space Storage Device.

Yue Mingzhu curiously asked: "What are you planning?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered as he said: "Naturally, I’m taking out the Black Lotus of Tribulation."

Since the Black Lotus of Tribulation accidentally fell into his hands, how could he miss such an opportunity?
