Six Protections Divine Armor
The Six Protections Divine Armor is a flexible legendary armor that passes from the Tianliang Wang clan into imperial and Tianhai custody before Chen Changsheng attempts to return it to the Wang lineage. (Chapters 462 and 625)
History
From the Wang clan to the Tianhai estate
The armor is originally a treasure of the Tianliang Wangs before Emperor Taizu brings it into the palace. Emperor Xian later sends it to the Tianhai Divine Empress for protection during the Hundred Herb Garden crisis; once she reaches the Saint Realm and no longer needs such defense, she sends it to her father, after which the Tianhai estate stores it. Mu Laoban eventually wears the armor against Chen Changsheng, but the Stainless Sword and Chen's sudden true-essence output pierce a small hole through it. (Chapters 462–464)
Taken from Zhou Tong
Zhou Tong later wears the same armor, identifiable by the hole Chen previously made. It protects him against much of Chen's sword assault, but the Halving Blade cuts its ties and opens further wounds across the flexible suit. Chen takes the bloodied armor from Zhou Tong and brings it back to the Orthodox Academy. Reasoning that it originally belonged to the Wang clan, he instructs Tang Thirty-Six to send it to Wang Po at Scholartree Manor; the corpus confirms the instruction, not completed delivery. (Chapters 620–621 and 625)
Abilities and properties
- The flexible armor is a divine artifact ranked seventy-ninth on the Tier of Legendary Weapons and can be concealed beneath ordinary clothing. (Chapter 462)
- It blocks the Dragoncry successor's direct thrust and protects against many of Chen Changsheng's massed sword attacks, demonstrating strong defense against exceptionally sharp weapons. (Chapters 462 and 621)
- Concentrated true essence combined with the Stainless Sword can pierce it, while the Halving Blade can cut its ties and slash the suit. Its protection is therefore powerful rather than absolute. (Chapters 463, 620–621)
- After both encounters, it bears blood, shallow and deep sword cuts, a tiny puncture, and severed ties. Chen judges the ties easy to repair, so the armor remains usable rather than destroyed. (Chapter 625)
