Shadow Hack
chapter-500

The most basic reason for using silver sand while congealing the great flux expert armor was to increase the movement of flux energy, which would allow the cultivator to use the flux energy in their body at a quick speed.

The effect of gold granules, however, was allowing the flux energy to accumulate quicker and be more compressed. This increased the amount of flux energy with which the person could erupt in their attack.

As for the sacred steel?

This material was used for the great flux expert armor to increase its physical defense. Sacred steel possessed high density and usually couldn't be penetrated. After being purified by the flux flame, it would become much more lightweight, which turned it into an extremely useful resource which couldn't be replaced.

But it didn't have any effect on the amplification of flux energy. Moreover, sacred steel was produced on the seabed in enormous amounts, so it hadn't become one of the mainstream currencies of the Origin World.

By the time Li Yunmu finished adding the three types of most basic materials, he had already spent more than a day manufacturing the armor without noticing it.

[Ninth, add sacred life water.]

At this time, system's instructions didn't include purifying.

After all, if he tried to purify the sacred life water with his flux flame, it would simply evaporate. That was why it could only be naturally assimilated.

As for the reason why the word assimilate was used, it was because the expert armor still in the process of being congealed had already began to take shape and display certain characteristics.

When Li Yunmu dropped the thirty drops of sacred life water on the incomplete expert armor, it instantly absorbed the sacred life water like it had some kind of intelligence.

[Add the seed of world ancestor tree. Target expert armor's abdomen position,] the system instructed once more.

With meticulousness, Li Yunmu followed each and every one of system's orders perfectly.

The next step was to use the five drops of the ancestor tree's leaf juice. Li Yunmu didn't drop them on the incomplete innate expert armor, but on the location of the seed.

When he completed this step, the incomplete innate expert armor began to shine with a green light!

The halo became increasingly more intense, until the entire heavenly world's sky was illuminated.

"The legendary innate expert armor which not even one among million might possess was a success?"

Li Yunmu's heart clenched, and he began to wait anxiously while attentively watching the expert armor without blinking an eye. It was emitting a green light and hovering in the sky.

Li Yunmu was unprecedentedly nervous.

At this time, the system's anxious voice echoed in his ears.

[Don't be distracted, there is still a final and most important step left. Quick, erupt with the maximum amount of flux energy you can use and push the scale of Snake Goddess toward the middle of the forehead.]

The system's voice was unusually anxious. It was the first time that Li Yunmu had sensed something like that, and his heart instantly trembled. He hadn't noticed how when the expert armor began releasing green light, het got distracted.

It wasn't like him to screw up at a time like this, and it wasn't that he wasn't calm or had lost his concentration or that his mental tenacity wasn't sufficient. Rather, at that instant, the innate expert armor, which was about to be completed, released an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

Li Yunmu had then been influenced by it for a split second. He thus got to experience the profound feeling of what was called ruining an enterprise for the sake of a basketful!

It wasn't said that the innate expert armor was difficult to congeal for no reason. Apart from requiring enormously difficult to obtain materials, it also needed many innate treasures at the level World Ancestor's leaf juice. Yet even then the incomplete armor put up a great resistance and counterattacked while being manufactured.

If not for the system's warning, it was like that Li Yunmu would've made a mistake at the final and most important step by staring at the green-lit armor.

Li Yunmu's entire body shook. He could sense from the system's anxious tone that time was pressing. WIthout thinking more, he erupted forth with all of his flux energy which he could produce by using all of the one hundred and eight flux points. After crazily moving the flux energy, he used it to pick up the Snake Goddess' scale.

He thrust it with all his strength toward the forehead of the expert armor.

"Armor finished. It is certainly finished this time."

Li Yunmu had used the energy stored within his whole body. Regardless of whether it was flux or physical energy, all of it was concentrated in the last strike.

He felt as if he'd used Danger Critical Strike.

After this final attack, he didn't even have the energy to remain standing; his legs went soft. He quickly sat down on the ground, but he still kept firmly watching the expert armor hovering in the air.

Suddenly, a loud and clear beep resounded from the system, followed by continuous notifications.

[Urgest request to circulate the hacking resources. Need host's nod of approval. Requesting to transfer fifty million experience and ability points. All of them will be added into expert armor. Host, you have five seconds to decide: five, four, three, two...]

Li Yunmu had no idea why the system wa suddenly changing the order of proceeding, but he didn't have time to think about it. Because of his complete trust in the system, before its countdown was complete, he responded and agreed to the request to use up the enormous amount of hacking resources.

Fifty million experience and ability points was nothing short of crazy. Li Yunmu had been accumulating them for two years, since he had descended to the Origin World.

But he agreed without at that crucial moment, he agreed without a second thought.

After his nod of approval, Li Yunmu saw the expert armor which was emitting green light before begin to shine with two other colors.

Once it did so, green, red, and indigo lights illuminated the heavenly world.

Raawr!

In the sky, a powerful dragon roar echoed, and an azure dragon emitting cyan light rushed out from the snake scale placed at the center of the expert armor.

It roared furiously while hovering around it.

"This is the holy spirit of the Azure Dragon Deity Suit!"

Li Yunmu gazed at the furious azure dragon. He felt like he could sense the fury of the holy spirit at that moment.

Yes, it was incomparably furious, because Li Yunmu had fused it with his innate expert armor. The Azure Dragon's holy spirit was thus trying to cause backlash.

But the next instant, two dragons of different colors shot out from the side of the snake scale like lightning. One of them was red while the other one was blue. Clearly, they were formed from the fifty million experience and ability points which he had transferred to the system just then.

The two dragons, which sometimes seemed like normal dragons and sometimes like flood dragons, closed in on the Azure Dragon's holy spirit from both left and right. They tried to tear it apart, and the three of them lost themselves in the fight. Because of that, the Azure Dragon's holy spirit became unable to attack Li Yunmu.

At that moment, the system's voice hastily echoed in his head again. [Quick, host, start the final step of congealing.]
