Darren donned the Red-chained Armor. It was sneakily concealed under the outer layer of his clothes.
"Not bad." Darren could feel the power of the Red-chained Armor. Although its defensive power was inferior to that of Akbar's Dark Dragon Armor, it already fell into the category of precious divine weapons.
"You mentioned earlier that they had a divine weapon that could enable them to disregard your defense, correct?"
"Yes." Field's face was full of bitterness. His heart had been aching since Darren took his Red-chained Armor.
"What divine weapon was that?"
"It was a bow. The arrows that were shot from it could completely bypass the defenses of my Red-chained Armor," replied Field.
"Tell me, is he telling the truth?" Darren leaned in to ask the several believers he'd just subdued.
"It's the truth, sir. The 'Piercing Spirit Bow' is a divine weapon from our ancestor. It is inlaid with a level-ten penetrating divine pattern, and this makes it extremely powerful as it can easily break the defense of the Celestial God Realm," one of the believers answered.
They were good friends with Dario Yue, the young master of the Nine Mysterious Sect, so they knew all about the origin of the bow.
"Go and retrieve that bow for me," Darren ordered. He thought to himself, 'Fortunately, I haven't really gone too far away.'
"Understood."
One of the believers immediately flew out, and returned in a jiff.
He placed a bow of primitive simplicity into Darren's hands.
Darren tried to pull on the bowstring, but it refused to move.
"Darren, let me do this."
Weber stood up proudly, rolled up his sleeves, and began to draw the bowstring. However, the bowstring again stayed stagnant as Weber's face began to turn red from frustration.
"What the hell is this poor bow made of? Even I can't string it?"
"Sir, it doesn't work in this way. The Piercing Spirit Bow belonged to our ancestor. It can only be drawn by a direct descendant of the ancestor of the Nine Mysterious Sect, together with the help of the ancestor's god's power."
"So that means the bow is useless to us, isn't it?" Lindsay folded her arms and furrowed her brows in disappointment.
"Not necessarily." Darren took the bow over and inserted his fingers into the middle part of the shaft.
He noticed that there was a divine pattern embedded there.
After a few tries, Darren finally dug the divine pattern out.
The antique divine bow, which had been suffused with a halo, immediately dimmed.
"Wow, that was a smart move, Darren!" Weber hastily showered Darren in compliments. "Even a great master at the top level of the Superior God Realm wouldn't dislike a level-ten divine pattern."
Divine patterns could be divided into twelve levels. The higher its level was, the stronger the divine pattern would be as well. Generally speaking, level-nine divine patterns were already the best divine patterns that could usually be attained.
However, a level-nine divine pattern was nothing compared to a level-ten divine pattern.
A level-ten divine pattern was something that had rarely been seen in the last million years. It was truly one of the rarest treasures out there.
"Looks like I've lucked out. This turned out to be a penetrating divine pattern," said Darren as he looked at the divine pattern closely.
This kind of divine pattern was named "Piercing Spirit", which was the best among all the penetrating series. The reason was because level-eleven and level-twelve divine patterns couldn't be discovered by anybody inferior to deputy gods.
"Unfortunately, there's only one here. With twelve level-ten divine patterns, you could even penetrate the defense of a deputy god with the current level of your god's power," explained Weber.
"Come on! Do you think we've picked up junk or something? It is already a blessing to obtain one of them, let alone twelve," said Finley, while he rolled his eyes at Weber.
"You've got a point. My master just used level-ten divine patterns as fillers, honestly."
Weber remembered his master, who had two series of divine patterns. One series included twelve level-eleven divine patterns, while the other series included only eight level-eleven divine patterns, while the vacant four positions were filled by level-ten divine patterns.
Hearing that, Darren and his companions were shocked. They could not help but wonder how powerful Weber's master actually was. How could he use level-ten divine patterns as mere substitutes?
Darren then integrated the level-ten divine pattern into his meridians.
Since his sword intent and the black god's power originally had strong penetrating power, they were much more effective now because of the integration of a level-ten penetrating divine pattern.
"All right, let's get on our way. We have to continue our hunt for more beasts."
