The Way of the Evil Path: Sacred Armor of the Flagitious Abyss

The is an effective technique from the The Way of the Evil Path that is defensive in nature and one that is crafted by Asu Rashoujin himself. For this technique Asu does not need to perform any hand-signs however, a high concentration of astral existential energy is required nonetheless. This technique, like most moves of the Evil Path, results in the molecular metaphysical formation of blackened scales that have the defensive property of the thick hide of the former body of the divine demonic lord itself. However, what makes this technique truly effective is that it is complete body armor, coating every inch of Asu's body with this defensive physical and metaphysical armor. The resulting armor formation provides a complete defense that can withstand an immense dose of damage without giving way. Such as surviving Gaoh Minazuki’s Phagaro Rooho at point blank range along with withstanding multiple Tailed Beast Ball’s from the ancient chakra constructs.

The relative density of the armor is similar to that of diamond. However, the armor, which is black and red in color with the texture of carbonized polymers and scales, is also compacted with dark chakra and astral existential energy from the Sage of the Astral Plane, furthering the defense against both physical and metaphysical attacks. This shield of embedded chakra makes Asu's true chakra network beneath the armor hazy to eyes that can perceive such a thing, making it hard for the opponent to target the chakra network and tenketsu, since they would be able to see past this blurring layer. Another purpose of the armor is to act as a diffusor to the energies to the realms below the Astral Plane of existence to include external and internal energies, spiritual and physical, natural and unnatural. This reduces their effects that they would have on Asu, if any and allows him to convert the energy into dark chakra in order to sustain his armor.

Drawbacks
A downside of this technique is that it increases Asu's mass and weight, thus slowing him down on the battlefield and limiting his jumping capacity. That being said, it would also take more chakra then normal for Asu to perform such a simple thing as the walking on water technique or the tree climbing technique in order to compensate for the increase in biomass. However, the inability to feel pain results only from the fact that the armor is not connected with his nerve receptors for the sense of touch, meaning that in this state this sense is of no use to him at all.
