Chapter 1307: Return, The Target Of All Arrows (1)
The spirit of the Creation Origin Armor? Wu Yuan was momentarily taken aback. Back then, the azure-robed youth had barred his mana body from entering the contest for the Xuanhuang Dao Treasure, an act that had stirred dissatisfaction within him. Now, in a bewildering turn of events, this same being addressed him as ‘Master’. Truly, life was unpredictable.
"Wu Yuan, observe carefully." The white-robed woman stood tall against the endless void, extending one slender finger. Spacetime quivered in response, and a suit of azure armor emerged slowly from nothingness. A powerful aura radiated outward, subtly but unmistakably pressing upon the surrounding spacetime.
A Xuanhuang Dao Treasure. Wu Yuan breathed, eyes wide.
Long before the emergence of the Tenth Chaos Void, his mana and ether bodies had journeyed to that mysterious location deep within the cosmic sea, attempting to claim the Samsara Sword. With Wu Yuan’s strength back then, the sword's overwhelming power had proven too much. He could barely activate it, let alone wield or conceal its aura. In the end, Wu Yuan managed to claim ownership, but decided to leave the Samsara Sword where it was. When he became a Dao Zenithel, he would return for it.
Because of this experience, he was very familiar with the distinct aura of Xuanhuang Dao Treasures.
Its design resembles the Robe of Creation. Wu Yuan observed, studying the azure armor. Seemingly one piece, yet it covers the entire body.
Where the Samsara Sword had been the embodiment of sharpness, capable of shattering layers of the void without even unleashing its power, the Creation Origin Armor represented absolute solidness. It rested in the void like a universe, exuding an aura of immovable permanence.
"What we call Xuanhuang Dao Treasures are, at their core, merely Chaos Treasures," the white-robed woman explained, tracing the contours of the azure armor with her fingers.
"Their distinction lies in that they contain a portion of the Order of the Primordial Rules, borrowing a fraction of the Primordial essence's power. This is what allows their might to vastly exceed other Chaos Treasures within the Nine Megaverses Spacetime.
"When the Primordial Cataclysm arrives and the Primordial essence recedes, these treasures will revert to their original form. Their power then will scarcely surpass the armor you currently wear."
With a gentle motion, the azure armor floated across the void and came to rest before Wu Yuan.
Return to their original form? Xuanhuang Dao Treasures were originally Chaos Treasures? Wu Yuan's mind raced with astonishment. This was surely a huge secret.
