Chapter 586 -160: Shadow Blade – Night Tiger
Mengye Tiger treated Ning Zhuo as his divine father, offering the utmost loyalty.
Ning Zhuo felt slightly awkward, but his expression remained calm as he lightly nodded: “Stand up and speak.”
Mengye Tiger rose to his feet.
Ning Zhuo’s face was expressionless, but his glowing eyes completely betrayed his emotions.
His eyes shone brightly, barely concealing the excitement within as he meticulously examined Mengye Tiger.
Mengye Tiger was eight feet tall, with a tiger’s head and a human body, covered in dark hues interspersed with silvery white stripes, flashing a metallic luster.
The entire mechanical body appeared robust and imposing, yet also sinister and domineering.
Affixed on the tiger’s head was a pair of mechanical components named Yin Fiend Dark Pupils, specifically combining Yin Fiend Qi to unleash powerful mental oppression, making the enemy feel suppressed and fearful.
The tiger’s body was covered in a layer of mechanical scale armor called Shadow Protection Stacked Armor, consisting of three layers. Fully expanded, it could cover the entire body in an instant. With two layers deployed, it could cover down to the knees. When stacked, it acted as half-body armor, only covering the upper body, leaving the arms exposed.
Hidden in the backs of his hands and feet were mechanical components named Netherworld Execution Claws. The claws were extremely sharp but lacked any gleaming sharpness, appearing dull and lightless.
In its tail, there was a mechanical component named Hundred Blades Hidden Edge. Within the tiger’s tail was a Storage Formation concealing hundreds of blades which, once released, could instantly create a storm of blade arrays, possessing formidable lethality and difficult to defend against.
Besides these mechanical components, the main Arrays of Mengye Tiger were the Netherworld Soul-binding Array and the Source Flow Guiding Array. The main Talismans included Ghost Shadow Talisman, Night Travel Talisman, Yin Fiend Talisman, Black Wind Talisman, and Mist Talisman.
Shadow Edge Blade·Night Tiger!
The design of this Mechanical Puppet was initially conceptualized by Ning Zhuo, the result of a combination selected from various potential designs induced by chance.
Though the design seemed hastily put together, the more Ning Zhuo observed, the more he felt that the design was exceptionally well-conceived.
“It’s obvious that Mengye Tiger’s mechanical body specializes in stealth, infiltration, and attack. Lacking a Mana Pool, his combat prowess is explosive but not sustainable.”
“Although he possesses the Shadow Protection Stacked Armor, it still does not sufficiently mask his defensive weakness.”
“Overall, Mengye Tiger is a Mechanical Puppet skilled in powerful attacks, weak in defense, and adept at stealth and infiltration!”
Due to Ning Zhuo’s solid use of materials, the combat prowess of Shadow Edge Blade·Night Tiger belonged to the Golden Core Level.
After observing for a moment and feeling satisfied, Ning Zhuo nodded and took out the heavily purchased Night Stealth Back Attack Diagram, handing it over to Mengye Tiger.
“Comprehend this well and strive to learn the cultivation technique within as soon as possible,” Ning Zhuo instructed.
“As you command, divine father!” Mengye Tiger once again knelt on one knee, stretching his arms forward, hands raised above his head, accepting the scroll with utmost reverence.
Mengye Tiger retreated to the side, fully focusing on understanding the cultivation technique.
Meanwhile, Ning Zhuo began refining the Divine Splitting Mirror.
As they busied themselves, time swiftly passed.
Southern Bean Country.
Lava Immortal City.
Ning Clan Branch.
“One-Armed Craftsman, have you finished refining the armor I requested?” Ning Chen entered the Artifact Refining Room, immediately feeling a strong heat wave hurling towards him, enveloping him, causing the tips of his hair to curl up instantly.
The One-Armed Craftsman, originally a top-rated Artifact Refiner in the Black Market, had now become an important Guest Elder of the Ning Clan Branch.
Despite his high status and authority, he did not dare to be careless in front of Ning Chen.
Ning Chen’s identity was simple, but he and the Branch Clan Leader Ning Zhuo were old classmates and deeply trusted by Ning Zhuo.
The One-Armed Craftsman squeezed out a smile: “Brother Chen, your timing is perfect. I was just about to have someone call you here, requiring a drop of blood to consecrate this nearly complete armor.”
Ning Chen smiled lightly, activated a spell to protect himself against the external intense heat waves, and only after could he approach the One-Armed Craftsman, facing a massive Array.
At the center of the Array was the fierce earth fire drawn from deep within Fire Persimmon Mountain.
Ning Chen stood in front of the smelting furnace, following the guidance of the One-Armed Craftsman, he concentrated his Essence Blood, and shot it into the furnace.
Clang!
The next moment, the furnace shook violently, emitting a sharp metallic sound.

The expression of the One-Armed Craftsman changed dramatically, immediately becoming tense, as this was not a normal phenomenon.
The next moment, a green light, slow like a firefly, gently flew out, heading towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen hesitantly stepped back.
The One-Armed Craftsman burst into hearty laughter, his brows fully relaxed: “Turns out it’s Jade Essence, you really gave me a fright! Brother Chen, your luck is truly good.”
Ning Chen also showed a happy expression, reaching out actively and took the Jade Essence into his hands to examine closely.
Jade Essence, as the name implies, is the essence within jade.
After landing between Ning Chen’s fingers, it dissolved its glow and turned into a small pale green jade bead.
“Any object containing jade quality has the potential to nurture Jade Essence. Brother Chen, the primary material of your armor is Jade Dark Steel, unexpectedly hiding a piece of Jade Essence.”
“Jade Essence is good at hiding, and even after I refined this piece of Jade Dark Steel into armor, it remained hidden inside.”
“Your just-concentrated Essence Blood not only refined the armor but also refined it alongside, hence exposing it.”
The One-Armed Craftsman shook his head, clicking his tongue in admiration.
Ning Chen displayed a joyful expression.
The uses of Jade Essence are quite broad.
Firstly, it can help cultivators absorb external Spiritual Energy, transform and refine through itself, releasing a gentle and pure Spiritual Power to the cultivator. This Spiritual Power not only assists cultivators in their cultivation, accumulating their own Mana, but it can also quickly restore Mana during combat.
Jade Essence can also, in critical moments, use its stored Spiritual Energy to unleash a powerful defensive Light Shield to protect its master. This Light Shield can withstand weapons and spells, provide mental protection to cultivators, and resist Divine Sense attacks.
If Jade Essence develops a Spiritual Nature, it might also transform, becoming a certain external life form, aiding the cultivator in battle.
