Capítulo 1257: Chapter 403: Destruction and Deicide
Lord Taishang chuckled bitterly, knowing that today he had to offer some benefits if he wanted to get away with it.
He thought for a moment, then waved his hand.
Two sets of pink armor appeared before Sun Wukong and his companions.
“These are Immortal Armors I’ve crafted. They can withstand ten full-force attacks from a standard Supreme, and the wearer won’t be harmed. They also enhance the strength of those below the Creation Realm by thirty percent. If damaged, they can self-repair. Even a Heavenly Emperor would need to exert full force three times to break their defenses. What do you think of these armors?”
Lord Taishang appeared somewhat proud.
For powerful figures of the Creation Realm, the armors don’t increase attack power, only their defense is somewhat stronger.
However, to those below the Creation Realm, they are invaluable treasures.
Even a Heavenly Emperor wearing them becomes thirty percent stronger.
That enhancement nearly pushes a Heavenly Emperor to an endlessly close proximity to the Creation Realm.
Sun Wukong’s eyes glowed as he deliberately furrowed his eyebrows and said, “It’s barely adequate, far inferior to your Vajra.”
Speaking as he did, he simultaneously collected the armor and handed them to Nu Ba and Lady Dragon.
Lord Taishang glared at Sun Wukong, saying irritably, “If you’re not satisfied, you can return them to me.”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes with disdain, saying, “You call yourself a Daoist Ancestor, trying to take back gifts after giving them? Don’t you find it embarrassing if word gets out?”
Not giving Lord Taishang a chance to speak, Sun Wukong continued, “Just having armors isn’t enough; we need weapons too. I think your Seven Stars Sword and Vajra are good choices.”
Sun Wukong still remembered the trouble caused by the Vajra.
Having already given armor, Lord Taishang didn’t mind offering more items.
He asked the two, “What weapons do you prefer to use?”
“Sword.”
“Spear.”
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth replied respectively.
Lord Taishang smiled faintly and waved his hand, revealing a dark gold longsword in front.
Beside the longsword appeared a golden spear, engraved with dragon patterns, exuding an overwhelming aura.
“The sword named Destruction contains supreme power, not weaker than my Seven Stars Sword. It can easily slay a Supreme Primordial Spirit. With enough strength, using this sword to slay a Creation Realm expert is thirty percent easier.”
Sun Wukong was moved by the sword capable of easily slaying a Supreme Primordial Spirit and useful against Creation Realm experts.
This sword is indeed astonishing; no wonder Lord Taishang said it’s not weaker than the Seven Stars Sword.
Subsequently, Lord Taishang’s gaze fell on the spear.
“The spear named Deicide can kill strong gods and demons, not weaker than Destruction.”
With a brief introduction, the exceptional nature of the Deicide Spear was expressed.
Not weaker than Destruction, it’s a weapon that can also harm Creation Realm users.
“Thank you, Daoist Ancestor.”
Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth expressed gratitude.
The two collected the weapons and immediately utilized their mana to refine the armor and weapons.
They effortlessly refined them, donning the armor and wielding the weapons, instantly feeling much stronger than before.
The armor increased their strength by thirty percent, and the power of the weapons doubled their attack abilities.
Nu Ba earnestly sensed her newfound power and said, “I feel capable of battling Supremes now.”
“Pretty close; you’re not weaker than a Supreme,”
Sun Wukong nodded, feeling quite pleased.
He was satisfied with the transformation in Nu Ba and Lady Dragon of Wealth.
This visit to the Doushuai Temple wasn’t in vain.
Lady Dragon also commented, “I’m surely not as strong as a Supreme, but perhaps I can take on a Sub-Paramount.”
Sun Wukong laughed, “Take away the word ‘perhaps.'”
Lady Dragon instantly rejoiced, the increase in strength lifted her spirits.
Though not a warrior like Nu Ba, despite being a woman, her abilities and cultivation were not weaker than a man’s.
Lady Dragon of Wealth’s strength had always been at the bottom within Huaguo Mountain.
This was a matter of talent, not something effort alone could change in a short time.
With the Immortal Armor and Deicide Spear, she barely entered the ranks of top experts.
“Big brother, what about me?”
Sun Wukong blinked expectantly at Lord Taishang.
Lord Taishang paused slightly, then annoyedly cursed, “Get lost.”
“Alright then.”
As soon as Sun Wukong spoke, before Lord Taishang could react, he left with Nu Ba and others.
By the time Lord Taishang realized it, Sun Wukong had vanished without a trace.
Golden Horn and Silver Horn were dumbfounded; Sun Wukong wasn’t here to discuss Haotian matters, he simply came to swindle treasures, and after obtaining them, he escaped.
Lord Taishang was played completely; this monkey had tremendous guts, didn’t he fear angering Lord Taishang and facing consequences?
Lord Taishang was dumbfounded, and after awhile, he showed his anger.
Mana surged around Lord Taishang as he nearly lost his temper.
In the end, Lord Taishang sighed in defeat without taking action.
“Forget it,”
Lord Taishang said.
Golden Horn and Silver Horn were speechless, thinking Lord Taishang would finally retaliate.
But he didn’t expect such tolerance; both began wondering if Sun Wukong had any undisclosed connections with him, as his patience with Sun Wukong seemed unusually high.
Leaving Doushuai Temple, they made their way to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.
The immortals greeted Sun Wukong, some even bowed.
Toward this Great Saint, they felt reverent awe from the heart.
“Feels good, haha.”
Sun Wukong laughed heartily; this time he had truly outsmarted Lord Taishang.
Nu Ba felt a bit anxious, asking, “Great Saint, are you sure it’ll be fine? After all, it’s Lord Taishang; what if he truly gets angry, what should we do?”
Lady Dragon of Wealth shared the concern, looking slightly worried.
Only Sun Wukong kept a cheerful face, saying, “Don’t worry, that old guy isn’t that petty. Do you really think he couldn’t react or stop Old Sun just now?”
Nu Ba was suddenly enlightened.
At Doushuai Temple, where Lord Taishang intended to exact some hidden measures against Sun Wukong to teach him a lesson, he couldn’t help but snort.
This monkey knew how to talk; had he spouted nonsense earlier, Lord Taishang might have really made Sun Wukong suffer.
“Heard you all laughing from afar, what’s the good news?”
Nezha’s voice echoed as he languidly approached.
As soon as he spoke, Nezha’s gaze fell upon Nu Ba and her companions.
“Such impressive armor, and those sword and spear are extraordinary too. What kind of treasures are these? Why haven’t I heard of them before, monkey, where did you swindle them from? Which fool gave them to you?”
Nezha exclaimed.
With unrestrained speech, as soon as he finished, Sun Wukong knew it wasn’t good.
