Solanky closed his eyes and calmed himself as the mysterious hand was still pulling him. He felt the time and space around him shift instantly, as the time acceleration was one day in the god realm being equivalent to a year in the space he just entered. He opened his eyes and discovered that beneath him was a boundless sea of pocket dimensions, each of which was equal to the god realm. The hand pulling him then stopped and manifested into an armored humanoid figure; the features of the figure looked exactly like the corpse of the Ancient Devil-God but with armor.
Solanky gasped in shock; the figure extended his hand and made a grabbing motion towards Solanky. Solanky felt that he had no chance of resisting, as the power of the figure was comparable to the sect master of the Sky Hybrid Sect. Solanky was sucked into the hands of the figure. The figure then dashed at a terrifying speed, which reached 300 times the speed of light, and he didn't put any protective barrier around Solanky. Solanky was lucky to have activated the full body armor of his clan's treasure.
The resilient armor started to show small cracks on its surface. Solanky then used a spirit core of a god of gods to reinforce the armor. The cracks on the treasure sealed again, and the toughness of the armor increased by two folds. The armored figure then increased his speed to 600 times the speed of light, and he grabbed and threw Solanky into a lifeless planet, and the armor on Solanky's body shattered completely, but he was unscathed. The impact of Solanky's armored body formed a one hundred and fifty square kilometer crater on the surface of the planet, which was twice the size of Planet Sabiru and had rocks that were as hard as steel from Earth.
Solanky was panting heavily from the impact as he felt that if it weren't for the armor, he would have been squashed into a meat pile. Solanky tried using his abilities and magic, and to his surprise, he couldn't feel any of his bloodline or magical powers. He felt like he was sent back in time to his years of being a mortal without his bloodline awakening. He tried to summon the armor back, but he couldn't do it as he lost the connection to his magic, bloodline, and spiritual energy. He tried to use his spatial ring and jade slip, but all needed spiritual and bloodline energy to open up their spaces.
Solanky saw the armored figure appear in the skies of the crater he stood powerless in. Solanky could sense the emotionless expression of the figure through the helmet of the figure. The armored rushed towards him again, but this time his speed was greatly reduced to just 150,000 m/s. For the first time, Solanky felt truly powerless and knew all that awaited him was death. The armored figure reached before him and punched him in the stomach. Solanky spat out a mouthful of blood, and to his surprise, his blood was no longer grayish but was now red. The punch sent him tumbling through the rocks and mountains of the planet, covering a distance of five thousand kilometers.
Solanky couldn't feel his body again, and his vision became blurry, but he sensed the armored figure approaching with a slower speed and punched him upwards. His body was sent flying in the skies of the planet; the figure continued his relentless assault, but Solanky had grown numb to the attacks. His body appeared in the space above the planet, and he was a miserable sight to look at as the continuous assault disfigured his body. The armored figure stopped his attacks and watched Solanky's body because he sensed the will of Solanky was to live and fight another day.
The armored figure said, "You have passed the test, and you are now eligible to receive the inheritance of the master." He snapped his hands, and Solanky's body began recovering at a visible rate. The armored figure said, "Most of the beings before you died the moment they were struck down to the planet, but I didn't expect you to have the master's treasure, and even after deactivating the treasure, you still had the will to hold" Solanky was blown out of his mind, as he never thought being beaten to death was just a test from a powerful being.
Solanky, who was still shocked and recovering from his injuries, asked, "Who is this master you speak of to have set such a difficult and dangerous task?" The armored figure replied by saying, "My master is a being above the source gods; he created the god realm you live in now, and he set the laws and rules that the laws of the god realm are obtained through bloodline or spiritual evolutions, and he is also the creator of the source-defying body technique, which cuts across all the other realms and all other alternate infinite source worlds."
Solanky was shocked to hear this because even his sect ancestor had no information about the source world, let alone the world above it. The armored figure waved his hand, and all the pocket dimensions flew into his hand, and he said, "Before the master left, he left behind these pocket dimensions to serve as a source of energy to the armor you obtained. He said an old friend of the spiritual path helped him gain insights into the realm above the infinite source space, so he left this behind as a token of appreciation and gifted it to any being that emerges on the magical and bloodline path, a requirement that being gave him".
Solanky felt grateful to the two super beings. He walked towards the armored figure and said, "My strength is still far from the dimensional or mysterious level. I can't contain that much power in me." The armored figure turned to Solanky and said, "I know; that is why I will gift you a different armor, which is a notch lower than what your body has absorbed." He formed seals and chanted in an unknown tongue.
He then pointed at Solanky, but nothing happened; it seemed the armor within Solanky was refusing to come out. He shook his head, and he touched Solanky's pulse to check the location of the core of the armor, but what he sensed shocked him greatly. He said to himself, "How… how could it be? The armor has completely melded with every cell of his being and even his spiritual energies. Could he be the perfect candidate the master had been waiting for all this while?"
The armored figure stopped and said, "No wonder your armor refused to fully manifest; when that old man captured and placed a seal on you, I think it is now developing a consciousness of its own, just like the master predicted." Solanky now understood why the armor felt restrained after he was tossed into this space; he had always thought of the saturated energies on the wings back then, not knowing it was to protect his true identity after leaving the trials.
The armored figure took Solanky to a separate dimension and said, "Sit down. I will help you and the armor absorb a tenth of the pocket dimensions energies; this will help improve the defenses of the armor to a whole new level." Solanky sat down before the armored figure as a tenth of the energies of the pocket dimensions permeated his body; his aura and strength surged, and it slightly surpassed the seventh-dimensional level beings, and the power and toughness of the armor reached the eighth-dimensional being level.
The armored figure said, "I have to place a seal and restriction on your body for ten thousand years so that it will only exhibit a power slightly below the fourth-dimensional being level." Solanky bowed and thanked the armored figure. The armored figure made his helmet recede, and his face was revealed. He smiled and said, "I am called Seth. Do you want to test the toughness of your armor now?" Solanky jumped back in shock and said, "Huh! It won't be necessary; besides, I will suppress my power to the stage of a god emperor." Seth laughed heartily and said, "I was just kidding. Come with me; the master left you something that would be of great help to you and anyone you trust fully." Solanky nodded and excitedly followed Seth.
