Black Armor Life Orifice!!
Dragon Scale Life Orifice!!
Both of these Life Orifices were naturally defensive in nature, containing innate power capable of resisting divine weapons and magical treasures. As his body was being torn apart, the two Life Orifices instinctively activated. Dragon-scale patterns emerged on his skin, and a layer of black armor enveloped his exterior.
A pitch-black battle suit cloaked his entire form.
The dense yellow sand pounded relentlessly on the armor. Black patterns shimmered across the surface, colliding with the sand to release bursts of dark radiance, divine light surging like a tide.
Black lightning bolts struck the armor, and even this Black Armor Battle Suit could only withstand a few breaths of time before being shredded apart by the dark storm. Cracks appeared, only to be rapidly healed by the restorative power of the Black Armor Life Orifice, creating a cycle of destruction and regeneration.
The battle suit seemed to be in a constant state of ruin and repair, never once appearing whole. Yet the damage never ceased, nor did the healing.
Some lightning did manage to pierce the armor, striking Yi Tianxing's body, but they failed to cut through his flesh. The dragon scales covering his skin blocked them, producing ringing sounds of clashing metal — mystical and formidable.
Before this dual-layered defense, even the black lightning contained within the storm could not inflict fatal harm.
"The Black Armor Life Orifice, it regenerates from destruction, recovers from ruin. Its origin essence is increasing... And the Black Armor and Dragon Scale Life Orifices — they're drawing closer together."
The Black Armor Life Orifice, designed for defense, seemed to be undergoing a transformation. With each tear and regeneration, it was being reforged like steel under a hammer — honed to greater resilience. Every blow from the storm served as a tempering strike, refining the Orifice, strengthening its essence.
The dense sandstorm was like an endless barrage — thousands of impacts per breath. But the price was steep: the pure energy stored within the Black Armor Orifice was consumed rapidly, fueling its growth.
The speed of transformation was inconceivable, beyond even leaps and bounds.
In moments, the accumulated energy was exhausted, yet vast reserves of true essence from the divine sea flowed into the Orifice, becoming nourishment for its evolution.
Yi Tianxing could feel that the black lightning of the storm possessed unique benefits for refining defensive Life Orifices — something ordinary storms couldn't achieve.
Most bizarre of all, the Black Armor and Dragon Scale Orifices were mysteriously gravitating toward one another, an inexplicable attraction accelerating with each strengthening of the Black Armor Orifice.
Closer. Closer. Even closer!!
Perhaps it was the influence of the black lightning, but within the dark storm, the two Orifices naturally converged.
Then suddenly, they collided — and something incredible occurred.
The Black Armor Life Orifice became ethereal, then merged into the Dragon Scale Life Orifice.
A miraculous metamorphosis followed. Divine light flared from the Dragon Scale Orifice. Dragon roars echoed within.
The two Orifices had fused!!
At the moment of fusion, the external Black Armor Battle Suit vanished — the Black Armor Life Orifice no longer existed, having been fully absorbed. Its essence merged into the Dragon Scale Orifice, which expanded dramatically in power.
In the divine sea, the Dragon Scale Orifice instantly advanced to the third stage — the Mirror Moon realm.
The star representing the Black Armor Orifice in the divine sea merged into the Dragon Scale star, which became more radiant and grew in size.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Black Armor vanished. The dragon scales disappeared. Yellow sand pelted Yi Tianxing's bare skin. Black lightning struck, tearing open wounds again — painful but no longer devastating.
Then, in the very next moment, a new robe manifested on his body.
Roooaaar!!
A piercing dragon roar erupted from the robe the instant it appeared. The sound seemed to shake the soul itself. This wasn't just a new armor — it was a war robe.
But unlike the earlier black armor, this robe was unique.
It was colored in chaotic gray, etched with strange patterns. Across it coiled a golden dragon-serpent, lifelike and slithering, exuding awe-inspiring pressure. The dragon's roar came from it — each reverberation infused with majesty and power.
Even as a serpent, it bore the bloodline of a dragon.
This wasn't just any robe — it was a dragon robe.
"Chaos Battle Dragon Robe!!"
The name surfaced naturally in Yi Tianxing's mind.
This was no ordinary armor, but a divine ability born from the fusion of the Black Armor and Dragon Scale Life Orifices. Their essence and powers intertwined, producing a peerless divine ability — the Chaos Battle Dragon Robe.
This ability encapsulated the essence of both parent Orifices. With limitless potential, it could evolve endlessly alongside Yi Tianxing himself, becoming a truly unparalleled battle robe.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Even newly formed, the Chaos Battle Dragon Robe resisted the relentless sand and lightning. Though tears appeared, they were tiny — and instantly repaired.
Within Yi Tianxing's body, the Dragon Scale Orifice echoed with the sound of hammers — like a forge in full swing, sparks flying. It was being refined, its essence tempered by the storm.
Time passed. Maybe only a moment, maybe longer.
To onlookers, Yi Tianxing stood like a colossal mountain, unmoving against the black storm — not shredded or obliterated, but radiant with divine power.
First the Black Armor, now the gray Chaos Robe.
Each transformation stunned the witnesses.
Then, under countless gazes, another dragon roar burst from the robe.
A blue dragon-serpent emerged, coiling around the robe, roaring with joy and majesty.
Two dragon-serpents.
The Chaos Battle Dragon Robe's defense rose again — the black lightning and yellow sand could no longer even pierce it, only strike harmlessly, bouncing off in waves of chaotic divine light.
Yi Tianxing stood tall, bathed in divine brilliance, like a divine demon, a supreme force.
The storm raged on.
And then—A third dragon roar.
A green dragon-serpent appeared on the robe. Its defense soared once more.
The sight shocked all who watched.
"He… he's using the black storm to refine himself — to temper his divine ability! He's evolving his Life Orifices within the storm!! That robe... Even divine weapons may not break it now!"
"Unbelievable! Who is this Yi Mister? How strong is he? His body can grow to titanic size, he can stand against this storm — and grow stronger while doing it! This is a true heaven's proud child… a legendary genius!"
Countless civilians murmured in awe.
"The Battle Dragon Robe... it can't be worn without a powerful fate. You really are a ruler — the Lord of Xuanhuang City, Yi Tianxing."
Jiang Ni's gaze turned deep and intense. He whispered softly.
Just from the dragon robe alone, so much had been revealed.
Life Orifices reflected one's own destiny. The dragon robe could only be borne by one with matching fate. In ancient times, a commoner wearing one would be executed — it would be considered treason, a punishment falling upon nine generations. You must have the destiny to withstand it. Otherwise, calamity would ensue.
Evidently, Yi Tianxing's identity and origins were not simple.
Combined with the earlier display of fate arriving from afar, Jiang Ni was now convinced — Yi Tianxing was, without doubt, the Lord of Xuanhuang City.
"To cross such distances, to appear in this Yellow Sand Desert with terrifying combat strength, to relocate countless civilians to Xuanhuang City, to possess such supernatural power... This is a hero of chaos, a future tyrant who may rule an entire realm."
Jiang Ni narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
