The ability to form arrays with mere intent was indeed strange and profound.
However, when facing Wu Santong's thousand-times-tempered Dao body, a defensive array casually conjured by Chen Luo was somewhat inadequate.
The ferocious Dao body shattered the defensive array completely, and a mountain-like giant fist pressed down fiercely upon the youth!
But the youth's expression remained unchanged as he softly chanted:
"Refine!"
The various powers and guests from the Hanhai Sect had already been incorporated by Chen Luo into the improved Iron Chain Crossing the River array.
As for the immortal ships and Dao armies that had invaded Hanhai, they were like solidified amber, frozen in mid-air along with Meng Tian, whose Dharma body had been shattered.
At this moment, Chen Luo's voice fell.
In a fraction of a thousandth of a second, the over ten thousand immortal ships, forged through countless years of accumulation by the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty, erupted with astonishing light!
Beneath the light, the spiritual patterns that constituted the immortal ships seemed to come alive and shot towards Chen Luo!
And as all the spiritual patterns disappeared, these profound immortal ships shattered one by one.
A ripple of Qiankun power flashed through the air, and the shattered materials of the over ten thousand immortal ships were all teleported before Chen Luo.
The spiritual patterns of the artifact path, which had been shooting over, underwent incredibly wondrous changes as they flew, guided by Chen Luo's will.
When these spiritual patterns shot over, they collided with the teleported materials of the immortal ships!
In a thousandth of a second, the brilliance of the spiritual patterns and materials lit up like the sun between Chen Luo and the descending giant fist from above!
And behind the brilliance of the spiritual patterns and materials, Chen Luo's gray eyes gazed intently at the ball of light, completely unconcerned by the giant fist crashing down from the sky!
In reality, Wu Santong, who had entered the path of the palm through the path of body refinement, was not a master-level expert in the path of artifacts, but he was also not someone that ordinary masters could rival.
Yet, at this moment, he found himself unable to comprehend what was happening before him.
As his fist swung down, a hint of confusion entered Wu Santong's mind:
"This isn't an array technique! Those flashing spiritual patterns are clearly from the path of artifacts!"
"What trick is this kid playing?!"
However, the will of the palm path had its own Dao to suppress it, making it extremely resolute. This momentary confusion was instantly suppressed, and his fist struck with even greater force:
"Whatever means you have! Before my Dao body, they are all illusions!!"
BOOM!!!
Beneath the giant fist, space itself folded layer by layer. This True Martial Great Strength had already subtly approached the limits of this world's endurance!
As the giant fist fell, just as the youth seemed about to be pulverized into dust!
A stream of light flashed deep within Chen Luo's pupils!
"Rise!"
From the brilliance of the spiritual patterns and materials blocking Chen Luo from above, a metal-colored giant fist, shimmering with endless artifact path patterns, violently swung out!
The fist of the Dao body and this metal fist collided with a deafening roar!
BANG!!!
Amidst the earth-shattering sound, a gaseous shockwave suddenly exploded outwards!
The millions of soldiers and the frozen Meng Tian could no longer hold on, like tiny ants, they were swept away into the distance by this impact!
"Hmph!" The golden sun in the sky snorted coldly. A mysterious power protected these failed subordinates before allowing them to be swept away into the distance.
The battle here was no longer suitable for the weak to witness.
And between heaven and earth, Wu Santong's Dao body looked at the giant fist that had blocked him with utter astonishment.
The fist of the Dao body was locked in a stalemate with a metal giant fist, and the outcome of their previous struggle was a draw!
"How is this possible?!"
In his shock, the other fist of the ten-thousand-zhang Dao body swung down again!
With the continuous enhancement of the Great Strength Dao rhyme, the power was even more potent!
But! A second metal giant fist, from the profound light of the spiritual patterns and materials, shot out again!
In an instant, the two fists collided again! The result was still a draw!
The horror in Wu Santong's eyes grew even more intense! Could it be?!
His disbelief and anger made him choose to continue punching!
Instantly, the fists of the Dao body turned into phantoms.
Beneath the endless fist shadows, it seemed as if heaven and earth were about to be pierced!
But none of this happened, because another pair of metal giant fists met them head-on without yielding.
Amidst the deafening roars, terrifying waves were stirred up on the Hanhai Sea.
Under the hurricane that tore through everything, the treasure light that revealed the metal giant fists was gradually dissipating.
But as the treasure light dissipated, the countless artifact path spiritual patterns that formed it and the materials of the ten thousand immortal ships also vanished.
In their place stood a ten-thousand-zhang metal giant, towering between heaven and earth!
The metal giant and the Dao body giant in the sky did not yield to each other. With every punch, it was as if two giants from mythology were engaged in a fierce battle.
The more Wu Santong fought, the more shocked he became. His prideful True Martial Great Strength and the supreme Dao body forged through body refinement techniques could not gain any advantage.
This inexplicably appearing metal giant could actually contend head-on with him, a master of the palm path!
During their exchange, countless patterns suddenly lit up on the bright purple metal body of the metal giant.
Wu Santong, who was fully focused on attacking, was drawn to it. However, even Wu Santong, a top master of the artifact path, could not fully discern the dense artifact path patterns!
Moreover, with a cursory glance, Wu Santong felt that his understanding of the artifact path seemed to have subtly improved.
But what broke Wu Santong's heart was that before he could examine them further, these spiritual patterns began to flow and change rapidly, rendering him unable to see anything clearly!
In his anxiety, Wu Santong even forgot to continue attacking Chen Luo.
In the center of the hurricane and tsunami, one of the battling giants retreated a hundred feet, and unconsciously shouted:
"Don't move! Let me see!!"
The moment the Dao body stopped attacking, the metal giant standing in mid-air to meet the challenge also halted.
In response to Wu Santong's shout, the metal giant directly flew down and stood on the sea surface, then respectfully cupped its hands and held the floating Chen Luo in its palms.
Its gray eyes calmly gazed at the anxious Wu Santong. Under the youth's gaze, Wu Santong finally calmed down.
But as he was about to utter more harsh words in an attempt to save face, Wu Santong looked directly into Chen Luo's eyes.
The youth's gaze was deep, as if the entire world was within his grasp.
Looking at Chen Luo like this, Wu Santong actually felt a sense of guilt at one point.
However, Wu Santong quickly dispelled all these useless emotions and asked seriously:
"Did you just refine this giant puppet?"
The truth was evident, but Wu Santong was unwilling to believe it.
After all, this metal puppet could contend with him fist-to-fist without being at a disadvantage, so there was only one possibility.
This was a Dao Soldier-grade magical artifact! And not just any ordinary Dao Soldier!
But judging by the youth's actions just now, this Dao Soldier had actually been refined in an instant, at the youth's mere thought!
Chen Luo smiled faintly and nodded: "Want to learn? I'll teach you, but you have to call me Master first."
"Also, this isn't a puppet, but my improved fully autonomous battle armor."
