Only after attaining suits of four-word battle armor could one truly approach the gates of the Divine Realm. As such, suits of four-word battle armor were the only option for further progression for Limit Douluos who had reached the peaks of their powers. Compared with all of the four-word battle armor masters of the Douluo Continent, the process through which En Ci had attained this suit of Peerless Holy Radiant Dragon battle armor had been even more arduous.

This was because there wasn't a single Divine Blacksmith on the entire Star Luo Continent.

As such, he had been forced to nurture his suit of three-word battle armor within his own body for 40 years, and even then, the metal had only evolved and attained life through a coincidence, thereby creating an effect similar to heavenly refinement.

The process had been one that was rife with hardships, and if it weren't for his pursuit of this suit of four-word battle armor, he'd at least be able to live 10 more years.

However, he didn't regret this. Without this suit of four-word battle armor, he would've never been able to sense just how wonderful that world was, nor would he have ever developed such a strong yearning for ascension.

In this moment, his suit of Peerless Holy Radiant Dragon was being displayed to all of the citizens of the Star Luo Empire. This was the only suit of four-word battle armor in the entire empire!

The Dragon Moon Song battle armor that Tang Wulin had just released was almost instantly suppressed by En Ci's Holy Dragon domain. The projection of the countless dancing dragons truly presented a spectacular sight to behold, and even Tang Wulin's indomitable Golden Dragon King bloodline was being suppressed by the Holy Dragon domain.

This was the true fearsome power of a suit of four-word battle armor; even bloodline intimidation was rendered completely null in its presence.

Tang Wulin's suit of three-word battle armor had only been completed recently, but he had already experienced its power.

The entire suit of Dragon Moon Song battle armor was constructed from spirit alloys with harmony rates of over 95%, and the amount of uncommon metals used was enough to create six normal suits of three-word battle armor. The soul refinement that Tang Wulin had completed for it was virtually at the upper limit of what a Saint Blacksmith was capable of. There was no compromise; he had spared no effort and expense to make it the most powerful suit of three-word battle armor possible.

As it turned out, he had succeeded. Dragon Moon Song possessed the trait of battle armor projection, something that was completely beyond normal suits of three-word battle armor.

However, in the face of a true suit of four-word battle armor, the faint golden light being released by Dragon Moon Song could only revolve around Tang Wulin within a radius of five meters. Even his battle armor domain had also been suppressed and limited to the same scope.

Was this the disparity between four-word battle armor and three-word battle armor?

Even though Tang Wulin had never imagined that he would win this match, his heart was still filled with indignation in the face of his current situation.

He lowered his head and looked down at his battle armor domain as the indignation in his heart swelled even further.

This three-word battle armor domain halo of his had quite a peculiar appearance. It wasn't a projection of the Bluesilver Emperor or Golden Dragon King; instead, it was comprised of a series of gorgeous floral patterns. It was as if a huge golden flower had bloomed around him, but its petals were constructed from rhomboid Golden Dragon King scales, each of which carried Bluesilver Emperor patterns.

The petals of the golden flower were constantly opening and closing, and if one were to look closely, they would be able to see a crimson color at the base of the flower petals as they fully opened.

This was the crimson color of the blood dragon that Tang Wulin had once transformed into; it was the destructive aura in the deepest part of the Golden Dragon King's being.

No one could decide what their battle armor domain was going to be like; only in the instant that the Soul Master fused with their suit of battle armor would their battle armor domain manifest itself based on the Soul Master's powers, as well as the special characteristics of the suit of battle armor.

As such, even Tang Wulin himself was rather surprised after he manifested this battle armor domain halo. Even up to this point, he had still yet to truly awaken this battle armor domain.

His suit of three-word battle armor had been completed far too late, and he had been busy participating in the Trial of Five Gods recently, so he had neglected to do so.

All three-word battle armor domains had to be awakened, and only then could they truly be used.

This process differed in length from Soul Master to Soul Master, and for Tang Wulin, he hadn't even had a chance to complete this process yet.

In the face of the pressure exerted upon him by En Ci's battle armor domain, he couldn't help but ask himself if he were willing to just let things end like this. He was asking his own soul, as well as the soul that was sealed within his body.

The domain flower petals beneath his feet gently tremored, and the rate at which they were opening and closing had begun to speed up.

Outside the domain, one giant white dragon after another was soaring and dancing, and the pressure from the Holy Dragon domain was only becoming more and more intense. Thousand Dragon Dance; this was the evolved ability of En Ci's four-word battle armor domain. He couldn't actually summon 1,000 giant dragons to attack his opponent, but after actualizing his domain, every giant dragon within his domain possessed real offensive power.

It was undoubtedly the case that a four-word battle armor domain was supposed to be able to completely crush that of a suit of three-word battle armor.

En Ci looked on at Tang Wulin and heaved a faint internal sigh. The power gap between the two of them was insurmountable, after all. He was experiencing Tang Wulin's tolerance capacity, and when Tang Wulin was close to reaching his limits, he would announce the conclusion of this battle as a tied match.

This was the decision that he and Dai Tianling had arrived at the day before. They had already lost the first four matches, so even if they were to win this final match, it would have no meaning for the Star Luo Empire.

Hence, En Ci devised this plan. First, he was going to crush Tang Wulin and show the spectators the disparity between them, then conclude the match by declaring it to be a tie.

This would be a show of the friendship between the Tang Sect and the Star Luo Empire, and would also be a generous gesture that would win the hearts of the general public.

Furthermore, the displayed gap between En Ci and Tang Wulin's powers would dampen the impact of Tang Wulin's four consecutive victories, and the overall effect would be better than that achieved through defeating Tang Wulin.

Four wins and one tie; that was an outcome that Tang Wulin should be more than proud of. However, it would still be quite apparent to everyone that there was still a vast disparity in power between him and a Limit Douluo. It wasn't that the empire truly had no one that could stand up against Tang Wulin; the empire was simply more interested in improving its friendship with the Tang Sect.

After hearing this suggestion, Dai Tianling immediately approved. After all, the four consecutive losses had thoroughly embarrassed the empire, so they had to do something special to win back public support.

Through the previous series of exchanges, En Ci could clearly sense that Tang Wulin was indeed quite powerful. Of course, there was still a significant disparity in power between them, but it still wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Tang Wulin if he were to hold back.

Hence, when Tang Wulin released his suit of three-word battle armor, he immediately donned his own suit of four-word battle armor as well. This was the battle armor match of the Trial of Five Gods, so no one could fault him for this. He was well aware of just how massive a disparity there was between four-word battle armor and three-word battle, and he was going to use this advantage to crush Tang Wulin. After that, he could declare this match a tie and afford Tang Wulin some words of praise. Following the conclusion of the Trial of Five Gods, the collaboration between the two sides would truly commence.

The empire had already received news that the federation had placed its entire east coast into lockdown, and Dai Tianling was quite concerned to hear this as no one knew when this war could strike.

Once the war commenced, the support of the Tang Sect and the weapons they provided would play a vital role, so it would be in the empire's best interests to commence the collaboration as soon as possible.
