I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

The black arrow, like a meteor reversed in direction, soared toward the edge of the sky, as a large amount of blood gushed forth from the long-haired man's body, severed in two.

Everyone present was shocked by the sudden turn of events.

"Damn it, inhuman strength, that's a Blessed One!"

The tall man known as Wan Bang exclaimed.

"Tan Hao has fallen, his 'Dragon Wing Device' at his waist, it's been shot to pieces!"

Wan Bang watched the long-haired man's bisected body plummeting straight to the ground and stopped moving forward, preparing to rescue him.

The tall woman immediately stopped him, "Don't bother with him! The Blessed One is too powerful, with such an obvious target you'll be shattered by every attack!"

"Tan Hao is already dead, he hasn't been implanted with a regenerative Alien Implant, such a waist-cut wound is beyond saving, we should retreat for now!"

She started to sound the retreat.

Wan Bang angrily retorted, "Damn it, one of our companions has been killed, how can we retreat at a time like this? What do you think, Brother Zhong?"

He turned to look at the robust man leading them.

Brother Zhong's expression remained unchanged as he concisely commanded, "Go."

After speaking, he was the first to accelerate, flying towards the half-transparent black giant standing on the plane.

Wan Bang did not hesitate to follow, the thin woman bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then flew after them.

On the other side, Captain Void Blade, upon witnessing that arrow, immediately looked back and saw Xue Jing hidden within the shadows of the giant, causing her to feel a bit dizzy.

"Xue Jing? What's going on?"

"Wait, you're a Blessed One? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

One of the entry requirements to the Roaring Waterfall is a Mutation Rate of 0%, a Natural Person.

A Blessed One's Spirit and Consciousness would be contaminated by the power of the Heretic God, and they absolutely cannot enter.

With this in mind, asking for Xue Jing's help had seemingly turned the event into a farce.

Upon hearing Captain Void Blade's question, Xue Jing stroked his chin and replied, "It's a bit complicated... have you heard of the 'Divine Chosen'?"

Captain Void Blade was taken aback.

Divine Chosen...

She was aware of this concept, the other name for a Natural Gifted One, chosen actively by the deities.

It is said that these Divine Chosen are free from the troubles of contamination and transformation... but whether they qualify as a 'Natural Person' meeting the conditions to enter the Roaring Waterfall was questionable.

After all, White Crow didn't have the luxury to specifically find an underage Divine Chosen to test it.

These were extremely rare individuals, less than twenty in the entire world.

Captain Void Blade felt a headache coming on and wanted to discuss it thoroughly with Xue Jing, but the situation was urgent, so she had to say, "...We'll talk about this later, let's deal with the situation at hand first."

Xue Jing activated his [Twin Instinct], looking at the tough man leading the three Sky Pirates across from him.

The doubled keen intuition made the hairs on his body stand on end, warning him of the danger this man posed.

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain Void Blade, leave the leader to me."

"The other two are up to you."

Without waiting for Captain Void Blade to respond, he stepped on the fuselage, shooting forward like an arrow leaving its bow, toward the three people ahead.

His Shadowflame Giant also surged forward with him, but the six-meter-tall behemoth's bulk created significant drag, severely affecting its speed.

Realizing this, Xue Jing immediately controlled the Shadowflame Giant, reducing its size to coat himself in a suit of armor that burned with scattered sparks of Dark Flame, wrapping his entire body tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes visible on his face.

Contrary to the half-transparent Shadowflame Giant, the color of this armor was as black as ink, like a black hole, seemingly absorbing all the surrounding light. At the joints of the limbs and back, sharp black spines grew, and the gauntlets ended in pointed claws.

"This technique shall be called—Entwined Armor."

Faced with Xue Jing's movement, reactions among those present varied.

Among the remaining three Sky Pirates, the leader, undaunted, merely sped up and charged straight for Xue Jing.

The other two, lagging behind, turned their gaze towards Captain Void Blade.

The latter tacitly raised the blades in her hands.

"King versus king, general versus general, huh?"

The gaunt woman said, sighing in relief as she viewed the situation.

"That Blessed One, he should've just stuck with long-range attacks like before, yet he recklessly chose to engage Brother Zhong in close combat... a foolish decision."

A smile began to edge at the corners of her mouth.

In the sky, as the leading Sky Pirate was about to clash with Xue Jing, a transformation occurred on his body.

An amethyst diamond-shaped crystal embedded in his spine at the back and waist, emitted a faint glow.

Shortly after, the crystal proliferated and spread like a living thing, covering his entire waist and ribcage, then extending to his chest and thighs, and finally, even his feet and head were enveloped in the amethyst crystal.

In barely a second, a complete suit of Amethyst Armor had formed.

Amethyst and black met in mid-air, illuminated by the sun.

"Boom!!"

A colossal ring-shaped shockwave, strong enough to distort light, exploded between the two, scattering purple crystal dust and fragments of black flame outward.

The other two Sky Pirates and Captain Void Blade were blown away by the spreading shockwave, and a nearby hovering plane tilted from the blast, tossing the Mountain Demon aiming secretly with a high-caliber sniper rifle inside into a head-over-heels tumble.

When the shockwave dissipated and eyes reopened, the battlefield came into focus.

A black and a purple figure stood face to face, palms clasped together, locked in a power struggle like two bulls wrestling.
