A soul master could only really approach the great doors of the Divine Realm with four-word battle armor. Four-word battle armor was the only way for a Limit Douluo to do go further after achieving a fair degree of success and there was no other way to increase his cultivation base or have anymore breakthroughs.
En Ci’s battle armor, Par Excellence Holy Dragon, was much more difficult to obtain compared to the battle armors of the many four-word battle armor masters on the Douluo Continent. This was because there were no Divine Craftsman on the Star Luo Continent.
He had attained the rank of a Limit Douluo by himself long ago. He had nurtured his three-word battle armor for forty long years before the metal transformed by a stroke of luck. The metal gained a life of its own and behaved as if it was Heaven Refined.
Nobody knew how much trouble En Ci had to go through just to create this set of battle armor.
If he had not been pursuing four-word battle armor, his life force would have been ten years more than what he had now.
However, En Ci had no regrets. If he did not have his Par Excellence Holy Dragon, he would never truly feel the wonder of that world. He would never have had the thirst for detachment.
At this very moment, his Par Excellence Holy Dragon battle armor was on display for all the Star Luo Empire’s citizens to see.
It was four-word battle armor! It was also the only set of four-word battle armor in the entire Star Luo Empire, a truly powerful object.
Tang Wulin had just donned his Dragon Moon Song armor and was instantly suppressed by the Holy Dragon Domain encompassing the entire coliseum. The Thousand Flying Dragons made a majestic scene. Even though his Golden Dragon King bloodline had suppressed other people’s bloodlines before this, it was affected by this Holy Dragon Domain’s suppression so much that it seemed dispirited.
So this was a four-word battle armor. His bloodline suppression would not work against such utterly terrifying and powerful armor.
Tang Wulin’s three-word battle armor had been completed fairly recently. However, he had already experienced Dragon Moon Song’s might.
More than ninety-five percent of Dragon Moon Song was crafted using spirit forged spirit alloys. The quantity of rare metals used was enough to make six sets of ordinary three-word battle armor. The soul forging Tang Wulin carried out on it was seemingly of the best level which could be attained by a Saint Craftsman. There were no compromises made, because he wanted it to surpass ordinary three-word battle armor.
Reality had proven that he succeeded in doing so. When Dragon Moon Song was crafted, it was able to materialise out of the void. This was usually impossible for three-word battle armor.
However, when it actually went against genuine four-word battle armor, Dragon Moon Song could only release faint golden light mist which lingered around Tang Wulin within a range of ten meters. Even its own domain could only be maintained within ten meters. It was so heavily suppressed that it could not be released.
Was this the difference between three-word and four-word battle armor?
Although Tang Wulin had never expected to win this battle, when he was actually faced with this situation, his heart was still filled with misgivings.
‘To think that the difference between a four-word and three-word battle armor would be this huge.’
He lowered his head and looked at his feet. He was looking at the domain of his three-word battle armor. He mumbled in his heart, “Are you willing to accept this?”
His three-word battle armor’s domain’s ring had a somewhat unique appearance. There were no projections of his Bluesilver Emperor martial soul or the Golden Dragon King. They looked like extravagant patterns which resembled a great golden flower in full bloom. However, the petals were made from the Golden Dragon King’s diamond-shaped scale, and every scale bore the Bluesilver Emperor’s pattern.

From afar, it looked as if there was a great golden flower in full blossom under his feet.
The golden scale petals constantly opened and closed under the shifting light. If one looked closely enough, when the petals opened, the blood-red color underneath them was vaguely visible.
It was the same color he had when he transformed into the Blood Dragon. It was the destruction aura from the deepest parts of the Golden Dragon King.
Nobody could decide what a battle armor’s domain would be like. Only when the soul master completely merged with his battle armor and the battle armor took shape would the three-word battle armor’s domain be formed according to the soul master’s ability and the battle armor’s special characteristics.
When Tang Wulin formed this battle armor domain’s light ring of his, he himself was shocked. Even to that point, he had not been able to awaken his battle armor’s domain.
He had taken too long to finish making his three-word battle armor. Lately, he was busy with the matches in the Battle of Five Gods as well.
A three-word battle armor’s domain had to be awakened, otherwise it could not be utilized.
However, this process differed from soul master to soul master. Some took longer than others. For Tang Wulin, he did not have the time to do that before this fight against the Holy Dragon Douluo.
Faced with the Par Excellence Holy Dragon’s suppression, he subconsciously asked himself, ‘Are you willing to accept this?’. He was questioning his own soul. He might even be questioning the soul that was suppressed under the seal within himself.
The domain petals under his feet shook slightly. They seemed to be opening and closing at a slightly quicker pace.
On the outside, giant white dragons were flying all around them. The suppression from the domain had intensified. The Thousand Dancing Dragons was the Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci’s four-word battle armor’s evolved domain ability. Although there were no actual attacks from the thousands of giant dragons, after his domain took on substance, every dragon within the domain could strike with physical force.
Four-word battle armor against a three-word battle armor. Without question, En Ci’s domain was crushing his opponent.
En Ci looked at Tang Wulin and mused to himself, ‘There’s still no way to close the gap between our cultivation bases.’ He silently measured Tang Wulin’s endurance. When Tang Wulin seemed close to breaking, he would announce that this match was a draw.
This was the outcome he and Dai Tianling agreed upon in their discussion the day before. They had lost the previous four battles. Even if they won the final match, it would mean nothing for the Star Luo Empire.
Hence, En Ci thought of this plan.
Firstly, he would crush Tang Wulin with his strength on the surface and let everyone see the difference between them. Then, he, of his own accord, would announce that this match had ended in a draw. This would signify the friendship between the Tang Sect and the Star Luo Empire. He would win over the hearts of the people with this generous display. The difference presented to the audience in the final match would take the people’s minds off the four victories Tang Wulin had obtained in the previous matches. This would have a better effect than merely defeating Tang Wulin.
Four wins and one draw. Tang Wulin could already take great pride in this result. However, anyone with sharp eyes could tell that he was some distance away from a Limit Douluo. It was not as if the empire could not defeat him, but the empire had chosen this course of action out of consideration for its friendship with the Tang Sect. This way, they could regain the initiative.
After Dai Tianling had heard his suggestion, he immediately approved of it. After all, they had lost too badly before this. If they did not do something special in the final match, he was worried that the people would not be too willing to accept the outcome.
From their earlier clash, En Ci clearly felt that Tang Wulin was indeed strong. Although he could not be compared with him, it would not be easy for him to defeat the young man if he held back.
Hence, when Tang Wulin unleashed his three-word battle armor, he had unleashed his own four-word battle armor without hesitation. This was the Battle of Five Gods’ battle armor match, after all. There was no reason to blame him for unleashing his battle armor. However, he knew full well how great the difference between four-word and three-word battle armor was. Through the crushing pressure of a four-word battle armor on a three-word battle armor, he would do his best to render Tang Wulin powerless to fight back. Then, he would be able to announce this match as a draw. At the same time, he would give Tang Wulin some words of praise.
After the Battle of Five Gods ended smoothly, it would be the real start of the collaboration between the empire and the Tang Sect. The empire had already received some information. Dai Tianling was very worried about the Federation sealing off Eastsea. This was because nobody knew when the war would hit them. Once the fighting began, the Tang Sect’s support and the weapons it brought would be of utmost importance. As far as time was concerned, the sooner they could get this done, the better.
