Ringless Ground Purging Set

The Ringless Ground Purging Set, earlier called the Hate Ground No Handle Set, is the Legacy of Strength armor inherited and worn by Zhou Weiqing. Originally designed as a ten-piece set devoted to physical power, it is expanded by Duan Tianlang with an unprecedented eleventh piece that integrates the armor with Zhou's Saint Energy.

History

Recovering the Legacy of Strength

Zhou inherits the ten original designs through the Legacy of Strength and has already consolidated the first piece before presenting the second through fourth designs to three God Tier Masters on Heavenly Jewel Island. They identify the lost lineage and name it Hate Ground No Handle, a reference to strength so great that the wearer supposedly wishes the earth itself had a handle to lift. The masters create further scrolls, giving Zhou the Yin Yang Giant Spirit Palms, Dual God Strength Hammers, and Source of Strength as his cultivation advances. Long Shiya, whose related Hiltless Heavenly Purging Set comes from the same tradition, teaches him how to join the pieces' strength rather than treat them as independent weapons. (Chapters 108, 124–125, 142, and 160–180)

Duan Tianlang takes responsibility for completing the remaining inherited pieces and for improving the old design. After Zhou acquires the thousand-year golden pearl Duan needs, Duan finishes enough scrolls to give him the full original ten-piece set. Zhou consolidates the tenth piece at the Heavenly Emperor tier, producing bright-gold armor whose force distorts the surrounding space and enlarges the Dual God Strength Hammers. (Chapters 239–242, 262, and 770)

The eleventh piece

Duan designs an additional piece capable of lifting the set beyond its inherited limit, but its ink requires rare materials, most importantly the Elven Queen's blood. Zhou obtains the blood, then follows Duan's instructions through the prolonged preparation of the ink and scroll. The process takes about twenty days, overloads Zhou's body, Saint Energy, and Divine Thought, and succeeds only with his control of Time, Space, and Saint Energy. The resulting piece forms a special dragon-bearing Physical Jewel and alters the relationship between the original armor and his Nebula Saint Energy. (Chapters 765, 768, and 792–801)

The new piece cannot complete its final fusion while Zhou remains a Heavenly Emperor. When he later reaches the Heavenly God tier during the battle against Fen Tian, it merges fully and transforms the armor into a white, translucent god set with a dragon moving through it and the Astral Divine Territory embedded behind it. Zhou continues to wear the perfected set against Fen Tian and the Nether Lord. (Chapters 801, 832–834, and 836–847)

Abilities and properties

• Multiplicative strength: The original set has no conventional imbued skill; it stacks and concentrates physical power. Five joined pieces provide a thirty-twofold boost, while the completed ten-piece form raises Zhou's strength by 1,024 times. The perfected eleventh piece adds a further tenfold increase, described in the source as roughly ten-thousandfold power at the Heavenly God tier. (Chapters 180, 826, and 833)
• Linked equipment: The Yin Yang Giant Spirit Palms amplify strength and Elemental Skills, the Dual God Strength Hammers concentrate the set's power into attacks, and the Source of Strength links the components while protecting the chest and internal organs. The pieces become materially stronger as more of the set is assembled. (Chapters 125 and 160–180)
• Spatial and attribute-breaking force: Completion of the original ten pieces produces constant Spatial Rend around the wearer and allows the set's brute force to collide with attacks regardless of energy or attribute, stripping away their special effects in a direct clash. This does not mean every attack is automatically negated; sufficiently powerful enemies can still injure Zhou or damage the armor. (Chapters 770, 778, 781, and 833)
• Saint Energy integration: The eleventh piece attunes the armor to Zhou's Saint Energy, displays starlight throughout it, and supports projection of Saint Energy for suppression and defense. Its final fusion requires Heavenly God cultivation; before that breakthrough, it remains connected to him but does not present the perfected white form. (Chapters 800–801, 833, and 836–847)
• Costs and limits: Creating the extension requires unique materials, a God Tier designer, Zhou's own high-level crafting, uninterrupted work, and extraordinary endurance. Even perfected, the set cannot by itself overcome every superior energy: Fen Tian's Destruction Energy wounds Zhou, and the Nether Lord's Eye of Destruction pushes through the combined force of the set, Zhou, and Tian'er. (Chapters 765, 792–801, 833, and 847)
