"Taiyi Armor! Demon Hunting Spear!"
Ji Xuan shouted in a low voice, his hands rapidly forming seals.
One ancient and mysterious seal after another quickly took shape.
Shen Mo suddenly felt his storage ring tremble.
The next moment, the Taiyi Armor actually flew out on its own.
Tai Er suddenly appeared, his expression filled with terror.
"It's you! How can it be you! You're still alive?!"
He stared at Ji Xuan with horror.
Not far away, Lü Dongxuan had been helping Bai Liejiu and the others besiege Ao Guang.
In that instant, he suddenly seemed to lose his soul and walked straight toward Ji Xuan.
Clang!
The Taiyi Armor instantly enveloped Lü Dongxuan.
Lü Dongxuan's expression immediately turned agonized, as if enduring the unbearable pain of being burned by fierce flames.
Inside his body, a powerful force that did not belong to him also slowly began to awaken.
Shen Mo took it all in, his expression unchanged.
All of Ji Xuan's trump cards were things he had already seen long ago on his own Life Panel.
Including the eventual loss of control of the Taiyi Armor and the Demon Hunting Spear.
At first, Shen Mo had considered finding Lü Dongxuan ahead of time and keeping him safe inside the Xuanwu Fortress.
But if he did that, Lü Dongxuan's entire future would stop there.
Because he was still a weapon spirit, born with a flaw.
Only by breaking out of his cocoon and being reborn could Lü Dongxuan become truly human.
Since there was a better choice, Shen Mo was willing to fulfill his duty as a junior brother and help Lü Dongxuan undergo complete transformation.
"Do you know why I need the Taiyi Armor and the Demon Hunting Spear?" Ji Xuan looked at the agonized Lü Dongxuan and said calmly, "Both of these spiritual artifacts are Saint Grade, and I acquired them by chance from within the Void Vortex."
"But they're innately flawed."
"If they get too close to each other, their artifact spirits' combat strength greatly increases, but in battle, they lose all sense of friend or foe."
"The longer it goes on, the more they descend into madness."
"Although this is quite damaging to the artifact spirits, gaining an extra powerful force out of nowhere is enough."
In this battle, Ji Xuan was fighting alone.
The opposing side had Shen Mo, a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, a group of Dharma Manifestation experts, and various cloud ships hovering in the sky.
Even if the Taiyi Armor and Demon Hunting Spear went berserk and attacked everyone, it would be against Shen Mo's side.
Instead, Ji Xuan could seize the opportunity to act and wipe out all uncertainties and surprises!
"Ji Xuan, haven't you noticed there's something extra inside the Taiyi Armor?" Shen Mo smiled faintly.
Ji Xuan was taken aback, and carefully sensed it.
He was shocked to discover that another suit of armor was wrapped inside the Taiyi Armor.
Within that armor was also a scroll of sword scripture and a longsword, all of them Heaven-grade spiritual artifacts.
While they couldn't compare to the Taiyi Armor and Demon Hunting Spear at their peak,
they were at least top-tier Heaven-grade spiritual artifacts.
Even more important, all three of these artifacts had artifact spirits!
"Heiyan, Suixing, Ziling—help me take care of Tai Er and senior brother."
Shen Mo instructed.
Suixing wrote out a big line of words, "Dad, I understand!"
"Yes! Master, rest assured. We will do our best to calm and soothe them," Heiyan said loudly.
Ziling said nothing, but had already begun to comfort Tai Er and Lü Dongxuan.
Under their care, the previously restless Tai Er and Lü Dongxuan both calmed down.
However, there was still great pain left on Lü Dongxuan's face.
It was as if his soul was experiencing endless burning.
Ji Xuan's expression grew dark.
He had never imagined that Shen Mo possessed three Heaven-grade spiritual artifacts, each with its own artifact spirit.
Artifact spirits were best at communicating with one another.
He had known all along that to calm the berserk artifact spirits of the Taiyi Armor and Demon Hunting Spear, he would need other artifact spirits to help.
But how did Shen Mo know as well?!
