History
Armanent (百兵: Armament) was a Dao Lord during the Chaotic Era. He hails from the Sword Continent and founded the Armament Mountain here.
Overview
Armament Dao Lord was known as a master of weapons. However, other weapons paled before the sword in Sword Continent. The dao lord went against the grain and didn’t cultivate the sword dao, becoming the master of all weapons. Strangely enough, the only weapon he refused to train was the sword.
Armament Dao Lord stood out even among his peers due to his versatility. There was no way the sword dao was too difficult for him. Most believed that given his talents, he would have dominated the continent with this dao as well. But he didn't cultivate Sword Dao. This issue has been discussed over and over again, resulting in numerous explanations and theories.
One stated that he was bullied by a swordsman during his youth. Thus, he had a grudge against the sword.
Another talked about him having a fiancee taken away by a sword genius. Therefore, he swore to oppose the sword dao, wanting to defeat it.
A third explained that due to his incredible talents, he had a unique pursuit. Since the sword dao was already on top during his generation, he didn’t wish to follow the previous sages. Thus, he chose the other weapons in order to become a unique cultivator. It became mystery of his reason.
According to the rumor, he once took back a peak from one of the seven forbidden zones - Sword Burial Zone. It was then used as an armory. His fascinating deeds earned him great fame. Some even listed him among the top ten dao lords.
