Chapter 330: Above the Saint, The New Effect of Green Armor_2
Under the throne of the Snake God are seven angels, and among them is the Winged Serpent King.
Even only partially descended strength already exceeds the Sixth Order; it's difficult to imagine its full state.
Suddenly, as if sensing his curiosity, Carrie, who had been silent throughout, glanced at him and spoke.
"Above the Saints, we refer to them as angels."
"Above that, is the Angel King, sometimes called a demigod."
Her tone remained calm, as if it was her usual demeanor.
Yet Chen Feng still detected a hint of worry in her expression.
If compared, the angel would at least be truly at the Seventh Order level.
As for the Angel King....
With a grave look, Chen Feng suddenly understood the situation in the Holy City.
That is why his doubt deepened.
Facing such a powerful foe, how has the Holy City sustained itself with just the Holy Sword for so many years?
"You must be puzzled; with the Snake-man's power so formidable, how has the Holy City existed for so long."
Carrie shook her head, her tone gaining a touch of reminiscence.
"According to records, when the human empire of Ancient Tado was destroyed, the angels of the Snake-men suffered some sort of major injury and were forced into slumber."
"There's also rumors that perhaps they were exiled along with continent fragments into the Star Realm, lost outside, unable to return."
"As for that Great Elder of the temple, he was merely upgraded to a Pseudo Angel by borrowing the Snake God's blessing...."
With just a few words of explanation, Chen Feng seemed to understand the key point.
The angels are absent, the Snake God asleep.
The Snake-men are indeed strong, but the strongest individual strength has essentially not completely surpassed the Sixth Order.
No more questions, they have already seen the magnificent city in the distance.
Lofty mountains lie like giant beasts at the world's end, the white-gray mountain city built along the hills, seems made from some exceptionally sturdy stones.
Blue special patterns like runes are carved on the surface, as though ready to unleash some powerful force at any time.
Buzz!
The gusts beneath the clouds brush against the face, making the brown linen robe whistle.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, faintly seeing Flying Eagles circling above the Holy City, with figures bustling below.
On the city's highest mountaintop, there is a grand palace, as if a golden-armored figure is standing before the hall, casting a gaze from afar.
"Adams...."
The name of the Falcon Legion Commander surfaced in his mind, Chen Feng then peered out to the external regions of the Holy City.
Miles away, the black fortress walls cut off inside and outside like a Great Wall, stretching across heaven and earth.
Warriors who have practiced the Awakening Method move within, while the land behind them is vast, fields fertile, vegetation flourishing.
This is the last Holy Land of humanity on the Snake Spirit Continent.
Yet....
Gazing into the distance, overlooking below.
Observable outside the black walls are numerous Snake-men and Holy City Warriors' skeletal remnants.
Some are cleaning the battlefield, blood once again stains the earth.
Some have lost arms and legs, being aided for healing.
In the crackling fire's sound, the piled bodies slowly melt, and wisps of smoke rise, leaving the scarred earth more somber.
"Indeed."
Everything aligns with the speculations along the way, Oron and others wear solemn expressions.
The Flying Eagle Great Beast gradually descended, then passed the black castle's watch to arrive at the rear camp.
"Lord Carrie returns!"
"Guard Captain Oron!"
Many warriors cast their eyes, some exclaim, hurriedly welcoming.
Soon in the camp's center, a burly figure stepped out, a shield as large as three or four meters, clearly another Saint of the Holy City, Earth Rock Army Commander, Yan Lei.
"Carrie, Mr. Feng Chen."
His voice is deep, resonating in the ears.
His face slightly plump, appearing in his thirties, clearly relieved, evidently worried for Carrie and the others encountering trouble.
"Earth Rock Army Commander."
Chen Feng nods in response, then watches Carrie and others step forward to inquire about the war situation.
"Already driven back."
"But I feel something is wrong; Snake-men assembly is increasingly frequent, which is abnormal."
The Earth Rock Army Commander's voice is muffled, his expression somewhat gloomy.
Previously, the Holy City occasionally waged wars with the Eight Great Tribes, but such frequency was rare.
After all, prolonged attack without success also harms and impacts the Snake-men, the tribes don't wish to weaken themselves in such a manner.
"Perhaps, Adams's speculation is indeed true."
Suddenly Carrie spoke, causing the Earth Rock Army Commander a slight hesitation.
Then reacting, his expression subtly changed.
Both quietly refrained from speaking further, likely due to Chen Feng's presence.
In the end, Carrie spoke again.
"Mr. Feng Chen, our promise with you will not be forgotten."
"Regarding the Awakening Method, tomorrow we will fetch the complete Holy Flame Technique for you."
She noticed Chen Feng's reluctance to enter the Holy City, thus refrained from further inviting.
Chen Feng gladly accepted, simply acknowledged, then, led by Molly and Oron, headed towards the wooden house he once lived in.
The space was ample, with a wooden bed and wooden table inside.
The wooden window was half-open, allowing fresh air to circulate.
During which Molly departed alone, holding a small box, she returned.
With flap of stone wings, a small white-gray stone statue spun around and landed on the wooden table.
"Lord Feng Chen, this is what you entrusted me to safeguard before."
Molly entered the room, placed the wooden box down, and spoke earnestly.
Chen Feng was initially startled, then realized.
He already perceived through Perception the contents inside: two Snake Spirit Fruits.
Before departing from the Snake Spirit Secret Realm, prior to acting separately, he specifically instructed Molly to preserve the Snake Spirit Fruit when eliminating Snake-man Tribe.
Later when encountering ambush by the Snake God Temple, Molly and others were also forced to retreat to the Holy City.
Two fruits was already considered an unexpected delight.
"You've worked hard."
Chen Feng took the wooden box, expressing gratitude.
Molly repeatedly waved her hand to indicate no need, tactfully not asking much about the Snake Spirit Fruits.
Soon, watched her leave.
Chen Feng opened the wooden box and then closed it again.
Consuming the Snake Spirit Fruits wasn't urgent; instead, he's more curious about his current Green Armor Talent.
Buzz!
Instantly, with a thought.
The green-black carapace on his hand automatically surged out, rapidly spreading like liquid across the body.
The Single Horn stood tall, looking at himself with Perception, Chen Feng clearly saw the carapace on his body deepen in shade.
Block-shaped protrusions appeared at joints such as his elbows and knees, while the red Single Horn markings on his chest became more vivid.
The changes seemed minor, yet the overall defensive power and strength boost of the Green Armor had enhanced once more.
Preliminary assessment estimated that even without activating Superlimit State, simply in terms of carapace hardness, it surpassed typical Star-level Vajra.
Additionally, the Blood Pattern Wings showed subtle changes, appearing more transparent, thin as cicada wings.
Both wings had a curved crimson mark resembling Sharp Blades.
Buzz!
In an instant, the figure flashed, teleporting several meters.
The red stripe's light flickered instantly, controlled not to make a commotion or attract attention from the Holy City.
However, Chen Feng still realized the enhanced effect of the Blood Pattern Wings.
[Vacuum Slash!]
The intuitive feedback of the move; the blood wings now not only increased his movement speed, but also let him fly between sky and earth.
Simultaneously, it added a slashing effect, slicing targets with both wings during high-speed movement.
Furthermore, one last point.
"Super Limit State · Power."
Crack!
The carapace instantly thickened, though the burden didn't lighten, he obtained stronger power and defensive boosts.
Strength doubled, Chen Feng felt he could possibly spar with the Holy Shield Giant.
Moreover.
Buzz!!
Gravity changed within several meters around suddenly, as if a Force Field radiating from his body.
[Gravity Well!]
A new move under the Superlimit State, able to control gravity around him within eight times, thus expanding defense range or even suppressing foes.
That was something the Sixth-Order Force Field couldn't achieve.
Moreover, with a flash of spiritual light.
Chen Feng thought of his Storm Fury.
Combining the two, what might the situation be?
