"Beast King's Heart?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise.

"How did you know?"

"You might not have felt it, but as a Spiritual Beast, I sensed it. This heart exudes a kind of Beast King aura, even making me want to submit to it."

"Only a Beast King can achieve such a feat."

"To make ten thousand beasts submit and serve him as king!"

"So, this heart must be the Beast King's Heart!" Little Strange said.

Qin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

But at that moment, Little Strange suddenly spoke again.

"Big Brother, I have an idea."

"Tell me."

"I want to replace my heart." Little Strange said.

What!

As soon as Little Strange said this, not only Qin Chen but Zhao Tengqi and the others beside him were shocked.

Heart replacement?

"Why?" Qin Chen looked puzzled.

"It's simple." Little Strange laughed cheerfully.

"Because I want to become the King of Ten Thousand Beasts! I want to command ten thousand beasts! I don't want to see you, Big Brother, get hurt again!"

"So, I need to grow stronger! I want to become the Beast King!"

"Although I possess all kinds of transformations and divine skills, I might also become the Beast King someday!"

"But that would take too long!"

"So, I need to replace my heart! Implant this Beast King's Heart within me! That way, I can directly become the Beast King!"

"Though I may not have the terrifying power of the Beast King, at least I can lead ten thousand beasts! Be the King of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

Little Strange said confidently.

Qin Chen could hear the certainty in Little Strange's heart from his tone.

At the same time, Qin Chen felt a bit moved.

He knew Little Strange wasn't doing it to become some Beast King!

He was doing it for him!

Because he had seen too many times, images of himself with one foot stepping into Hell!

Though Little Strange was young, there were many things he might not understand.

But he knew one thing.

That Qin Chen was the person he must protect with his life.

"But how do you replace a heart?" Qin Chen asked.

He had never heard that a heart could be replaced.

"Just replace it directly."

"Though there may be a process involved."

"In a bit, Big Brother, you just need to place me in the Octagonal Devouring God Array. I'm afraid of any accidents."

Little Strange laughed foolishly.

However, Qin Chen's heart became restless.

Looking at Little Strange's demeanor, it seemed easy, but Qin Chen knew Little Strange too well.

The more relaxed Little Strange appeared, the more challenging the process likely would be.

"Big Brother, don't worry."

"I have my own way."

"It may be painful, but that's nothing. I will definitely succeed."

"The only pity is that during this heart replacement period, I won't be able to accompany you." Little Strange said with a smile.

"Can I object?"

Qin Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

At first glance, this sounded like a silly question.

But actually, it conveyed Qin Chen's stance at this time.

He was against it!

Yet he knew objecting was futile.

"No."

Sure enough, Little Strange immediately gave a response.

Following Qin Chen, he hadn't learned much, but he had learned this stubbornness.

Once he decided on something, no amount of opposition from others mattered.

Qin Chen looked at Little Strange for a while, then silently nodded.

"Big Brother is the best." Little Strange said with a smirk.

Then he took the Beast King's Heart and went into the Octagonal Devouring God Array inside the God Devouring Crystal.

"Qin Chen, did you know there's a possibility he might die?"

Little Fairy suddenly spoke.

"I know."

"But, as you can see, my objection is useless." Qin Chen's voice trembled slightly.

Nonetheless, his eyes were full of helplessness.

He could only pray for Little Strange's successful heart replacement.

"What's that?"

Gu Xiaofeng looked towards the area in front of the Stone Pond.

It was something resembling a suit of Battle Armor.

Extremely ancient, and it emanated an extraordinary aura.

Moreover, the most peculiar aspect was.

This Battle Armor stood upright there.

How bizarre was this scene?

It was like a set of clothing standing there, giving off an indescribable eerie feeling.

Upon hearing Gu Xiaofeng's voice, Zhao Tengqi and the others approached.

The closer they got, the more they appreciated the armor's intricacy.

On its helmet, two words were visible.

Firmament.

"Firmament Battle Armor?" Zhao Tengqi questioned skeptically.

Qin Chen also walked over at this point.

"Without support, it can stand here, truly remarkable!" Xia Meng'er exclaimed.

"Perhaps only by wearing it can one truly understand its extraordinariness." Liuw Kun hesitated to suggest.

Wear it?

Gu Xiaofeng and the others' eyes narrowed.

"Let me try." Qin Chen suddenly suggested.

Gu Xiaofeng and the others showed a hint of hesitation on their faces.

They feared it might be dangerous.

"Ultimately, someone has to try." Qin Chen said.

Then Qin Chen walked to the front of the armor, intending to wear it.

To Qin Chen's surprise, he couldn't move the armor.

As if it was welded in place.

"Seems like this armor can't be worn." Qin Chen said, helpless.

"No."

"You tried wearing it the wrong way." Little Fairy stated.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Try dropping a drop of blood on it." Little Fairy advised.

Qin Chen hesitated upon hearing this, but then nodded. Though he didn't understand why Little Fairy suggested this, he trusted her.

Afterwards, Qin Chen bit his finger, allowing a drop of blood to fall onto the armor.

Hum—

The next moment, everyone witnessed, as Qin Chen's blood fell.

The armor trembled slightly.

Though subtle, everyone noticed.

At this moment, Qin Chen's eyes were frozen.

Because he felt a strange connection between himself and the armor.

After some hesitation, Qin Chen attempted to touch the armor again.

Swipe, swipe, swipe—

In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.

The previously immovable armor suddenly trembled violently as Qin Chen touched it, then rapidly enveloped Qin Chen's body.

"What's... happening?"

Qin Chen was stunned.

Zhao Tengqi and others were also dumbfounded.

This, it was donned?

"This is an Ancient Battle Armor, activated by blood, wearable and removable at will."

"In Ancient Times, many soldiers from major nations had such armor."

"Moreover, they had many types."

"Generally, they are categorized into three types: Attack, Defense, Speed."

"According to my observation, your Ancient Battle Armor should be of the Attack Type!"

"That means, with this armor, your combat strength will increase tens of times, even... a hundredfold!!!" said Little Fairy.
