Chapter 194 Mu Xin Ci

Inside the Sacred Dragon Tower

When this Star Armor appeared on Xin Ci, he felt an unprecedented comfort.

The injuries he had sustained were also gradually healing under the armor's coverage.

Xin Ci and Elder Han were still in a state of confusion, asking blankly, "What is this...?"

"Two idiots, it's me!"

At this moment, the Star Armor suddenly let out a familiar voice.

Xin Ci suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "Qingqing! How did you turn into armor?"

However, on second thought, it seemed not the first time he had seen this armor.

It was this armor that had saved him during the lightning storm back then.

So, the armor from that time was a transformation of Mu Qingqing.

Mu Qingqing's voice came from within the Star Armor, "This is the divine ability of the sixth layer of the Myriad Manifestations Star Wheel Scripture, Spiritual Energy Armament."

Since the scenes within the Sacred Dragon Tower could be known to the outside world, Mu Qingqing could not transform into a female body to help Xin Ci defeat the Ming Emperor's clone before him.

However, she still had this divine ability to assist Xin Ci.

Although Xin Ci, clad in the Spiritual Energy Armament, did not have his realm increased, his defensive power was comparable to a one-star Sacred Emperor.

This meant that the Ming Emperor's sword techniques could no longer harm Xin Ci.

But even so, it was still impossible to defeat the Ming Emperor, and Elder Han also saw this, reminding him, "Xin Ci, this armor transformed by the little girl cannot increase your realm. Doing this can at most resist the Ming Emperor's attacks, but not defeat him."

Mu Qingqing, however, was not worried. She had also thought of a countermeasure, and with a mysterious smile, she replied, "Don't worry, I have a backup plan."

"What backup plan?"

Elder Han asked curiously.

Xin Ci also looked at Mu Qingqing, who had transformed into armor, with a face full of curiosity.

He also really wanted to know what backup plan Mu Qingqing was talking about.

After all, without transforming into a female body, even if Mu Qingqing switched personalities, she could at most raise her realm to the two-star Heavenly Venerate realm.

This was also the limit that Xin Ci's body, after the trials of the previous seven layers of the Sacred Dragon Tower, could withstand.

But merely being at the two-star Heavenly Venerate realm was still insufficient to defeat the Ming Emperor's clone, whose combat power was comparable to a Sacred Emperor.

Mu Qingqing naturally knew this.

At this moment, the Ming Emperor's clone attacked again.

He inserted his dual swords into the ground and extended a finger, drawing obscure runes in the void.

Beneath Xin Ci's feet, a six-pointed star formation appeared, and the sacred light emanating from it rendered Xin Ci unable to move.

Not only that, but within a radius of twenty meters centered on him, thousands of light swords materialized out of thin air, all pointing at Xin Ci, as if to deliver a divine judgment upon him!

This was the Void Condensing Sword Technique!

Xin Ci's face turned pale with shock.

The power of the Void Condensing Sword Technique unleashed by the Ming Emperor's clone, who was at the peak Heavenly Venerate realm, far surpassed his own, even approaching a powerful strike from a Sacred Emperor.

Xin Ci knew very well that this Ming Emperor's clone had used his true strength.

The power of this Void Condensing Sword Technique was astonishing.

Although the Star Armor transformed by Mu Qingqing could help him resist, Xin Ci worried that Mu Qingqing would encounter the same situation as she did during the lightning storm.

The Ming Emperor's Void Condensing Sword Technique would damage the Star Armor, directly affecting Mu Qingqing's soul.

No matter what, Xin Ci would not gamble with Mu Qingqing's life.

No matter how precious the essence blood of a Saint-level demonic beast was, it could not compare to Mu Qingqing's life, so Xin Ci decided to admit defeat and stop the challenge.

However, at this moment, the Star Armor suddenly emitted a glow, and the countless golden light swords around were all shattered and dispersed by the sudden burst of energy.

Immediately after, a faint blue starlight emanated from the star wheel insignia on the chest of the Star Armor and flowed into Xin Ci's brow.

Xin Ci's body trembled instantly, and an indescribable power surged into his body.

At this moment, it felt as if his entire being had undergone a baptism, and his soul had experienced a sacred transformation.

A magnificent aura permeated his body, and even the Ming Emperor's clone was so intimidated by this aura that he dared not take a step forward.

In an instant, Xin Ci's strength surged dramatically, reaching the five-star Heavenly Venerate realm.

This astonishing surge in Xin Ci's strength shocked the many people outside the Sacred Dragon Tower.

"What the heck?! Did Xin Ci take some pills?!"

"How can anyone suddenly soar from the King realm to the five-star Heavenly Venerate realm!"

"Yeah, even with advanced secret arts, at the Upper Realm level, you can only increase your realm by one or two small stages."

"Could this be Xin Ci's true true essence realm?!"

These people were in a heated discussion.

But none of them could figure out why Xin Ci's realm had suddenly skyrocketed.

Even the Ten Great Sacred Emperors of Mingguang City could not discern the anomaly.

Only Ming Huang Shen Wei and Dao Huang Dao Yuan Ming vaguely guessed.

Xin Ci's change in strength should be related to the Star Armor he was wearing.

Inside the Sacred Dragon Tower

Facing the sudden surge of power, Xin Ci seemed unable to adapt, clutching his head with one hand in pain, gasping for breath, his head bowed, his entire body trembling.

Elder Han noticed that Xin Ci seemed unwell and quickly asked with concern, "Xin Ci, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, Elder Han."

As soon as Xin Ci spoke, Elder Han was shocked beyond measure.

Because Xin Ci's voice contained two completely different sound lines.

One was Xin Ci's original voice, and the other was Mu Qingqing's voice.

But these two different voices appeared simultaneously when Xin Ci spoke.

What was going on!

A storm of shock churned in Elder Han's heart.

When Xin Ci raised his head, Elder Han's eyes widened, showing disbelief.

He saw that Xin Ci's eyes had turned into heterochromia, his left eye being Xin Ci's Golden Eye of Clarity, and his right eye being Mu Qingqing's Star Wheel Eye.

This incredibly magical scene appeared before Elder Han, and he could no longer tell who was controlling Xin Ci's body in this state.

"Are you Mu Qingqing or Xin Ci?" Elder Han asked.

"Xin Ci" in this state slightly closed one eye, and a trace of playful teasing appeared in his smile as he said, "Both."

Both?

What did that mean?

Elder Han was momentarily bewildered.

Then, the "Xin Ci" before him explained himself, "Elder Han, in my current state, I am both Xin Ci and Mu Qingqing."

"Mu Qingqing originally possessed half of Xin Ci's soul. Since the Myriad Manifestations Star Wheel Scripture broke through to the seventh layer, one of the new divine abilities we gained is the ability to temporarily merge our souls into a complete whole."

"That's why we are in this state. Hehe, Elder Han, why don't you call us Mu Xin Ci in this state?"

Elder Han was stunned upon hearing this and finally realized, "So, this is your backup plan?!"

"That's right."

Mu Xin Ci smiled.

Elder Han's mind was still in a daze; he had never seen anything like this before.

Mu Qingqing and Xin Ci had truly opened his eyes.

Two personalities controlling one body simultaneously, this was truly unheard of.
