"Riding into a myriad-strong army to seize an enemy's head, you will be as an iron beast, unstoppable wherever you go."

―Pei Min to Li E, 762

The Heavenly King's Armor (天王甲; Mandarin: Tiānwáng Jiǎ) was a suit of shining armor (明光甲; Mandarin: míngguáng jiǎ) used by the Chinese Assassins. By the 8th century, it was being stored in the Northern Treasury Under Heaven, a secret vault beneath the Mojia Village in Qinghe, alongside a vast array of other weapons and armor.

As the centerpiece of the armory, it instantly caught the eye of the Hidden One Li E when he was brought down into the chamber in 756 by its custodian Pei Min. Pei Min claimed that the Heavenly King's Armor was indestructible and urged Li E to don it for his upcoming mission to eliminate the Golden Turtles in Chang'an. Li E obliged, and the armor subsequently proved its worth in both the Mawei Station mutiny, where his team took down the Golden Turtle leader Yang Guozhong, and in his solo assassination of the Yeluohe leader An Lushan.
