Chapter 1232: Star Plucking

Guardian General Li Zhihuo's indifferent voice entered everyone's ears. "It's almost time."

"Could the rest of you prepare your plaques? It's time to activate the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation." As Li Zhihuo spoke, everyone saw Li Foluo, Li Tingyue, Li Jushen, and Li Boyuan take a step forward. In each of their hands was a plaque that emanated authority and power appeared. It was their Guardian General plaques.

Together with Li Zhihuo, the five Guardian Generals' plaques shot out beams of light that converged in the sky above. A mystifying dragon manifestation could be seen within the light. It emitted indescribable pressure that even made the void shudder.

The dragon manifestation immediately made contact with the golden scales, setting off mighty ripples. The golden scales shone brightly, and ancient runes surfaced on them layer after layer.

Then a gigantic dragon emerged on the barrier. The dragon was coiled in the center of the area covered by the golden dragon scales. It then opened up its gaping maw, which resembled an unfathomable abyss.

Roar!

The draconic roar shook the skies like cataclysmic thunder booming throughout the world.

An incredible suction force came from the open jaws of the dragon, causing even the void to tear, creating black rifts in front of it. The black rifts multiplied, and the suction resembled the pull of a black hole.

Li Luo remained rooted as he observed the phenomenon. Shock filled him when he saw that the majestic World's End River was starting to shake a little.

The suction force emanating from the dragon had disrupted its flow.

A moment later, boundless amounts of World's End River water was sucked out, breaking past the river’s boundaries, piercing through the air, and descending upon them.

It was like space itself had been forcefully wrenched out to fall before them.

Torrential rain poured down from the skies above, but when the droplets fell, they quickly gathered together and turned into gigantic, grayish-black balls of water that were a thousand feet wide. They truly resembled meteors as they smashed downwards.

The meteors emanated massive waves of energy that could cause even a Duke to falter.

As the meteors streaked across the air, it was like watching a meteor shower.

"Everyone, onto the Falling Star Terraces!" Li Zhihuo shouted. The five Guardian Generals took the lead to fly upwards with their armies, each landing on a specific golden lotus platform.

Each platform was wide, allowing all ten thousand members to stand comfortably.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e similarly landed on their golden lotus platform, and it was then that Li Foluo glanced towards the World's End River Meteors that had been forced to descend because of the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation. He ordered in a low voice, "Dragon's Fang Guardians, assemble the formation!"

All of the Dragon's Fang Guardians responded in unison, their voices booming like thunder. They each took out their Heavenly Dragon Jades and poured all of their energy into them.

Bang!

Ten thousand streams of energy rose into the air, quickly interweaving above the Dragon's Fang Guardians and forming a gigantic formation of light.

The formation of light covered the sky and the sun as vast amounts of energy surged forth. The terrifying pressure that emanated from it caused even Jiang Qing'e to shift slightly.

This was the first time she had experienced Harmony with ten thousand individuals.

Their joint effort created energy undulations that were no weaker than those of an eighth-grade Duke!

This combination was not achievable by merely gathering ten thousand random individuals and getting them to merge their powers. This was because the resonant power of every individual contained one's will. Thus, fusing their power together in a cohesive way was not easily achieved.

Only Heavenly Emperor powers were capable of doing this. Every Heavenly Emperor had spent a significant amount of time and energy to create a formation to achieve this result.

When the majestic Dragon Fang Formation took shape, it covered the skies and the earth beneath. It emitted a sharp aura that was capable of ripping apart the void with a mere touch.

Li Foluo soared into the air, floating above the Dragon Fang Formation. He grasped his Dragon Fang Insignia and very quickly took control of the formation.

The terrifying energy that had surfaced as a result of everyone's efforts was now under his command.

However, Li Foluo was used to this. He raised his head to look outside the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation. There were eleven World's End River Meteors swiftly descending towards the protective barrier.

Bang!

The World's End River Meteors crashed directly into the formation barrer, causing the entire world to shudder. The catastrophic boom was heard throughout Heavenly Dragon Peak.

Numerous individuals in Heavenly Dragon City looked up curiously. Due to the concealing effects of the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation, they could not see what exactly was going on. However, the Dukes could sense the terrifying aftershocks of the collisions.

Most did not seem to be concerned about this. After all, this did occur every month.

Bang!

The eleven World's End River Meteors were like titanic mountains crashing onto the golden dragonscale barrier. The cloud dragon that remained coiled up within the nexus of the formation suddenly spat out a torrent of dragonbreath. When it struck the meteors, it immediately purified and burned away the terrifying amounts of corruption within them.

At this point, the meteors rapidly shrunk in size and the energy undulations coming from them became slightly more gentle.

In the end, all eleven meteors began to slowly pierce through the barrier.

Bang!

After which, they began to shoot towards the five golden lotus platforms.

"It's time for Star Plucking!" First Grand Commander Xia Yu smiled at Li Luo. "At this point, we will have to see how capable the Guardian Generals are. The ones who are more skillful will be able to obtain more World's End River Meteors."

Li Luo watched Li Foluo, Li Zhihuo, and the rest erupt with shocking prowess. With the power of the guardians behind them, they wielded domineering power as their Duke Bergfrieds appeared behind them, devouring worldly natural energy to augment their strength.

When he took a closer look at the five Guardian Generals, he found that Li Foluo, Li Jushen, Li Tingyue, and Li Boyuan were all fourth-grade Dukes. Only Li Zhihuo was a fifth-grade.

However, this was not important. With the aid of the Guardian Formations, they were all eighth-grade Dukes.

The vast amount of energy took the form of a rainbow that pierced through the air, transforming into a gigantic dragon's palm. It then stretched outwards and grasped towards the World's End River Meteors.

Boom!

When the two forces collided, they caused heaven-shaking reverberations.

The void seemed to wail under the pressure as energy tempests ripped space apart. If not for the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation’s protection, Heavenly Dragon City might have been devastated.

Li Foluo had captured two World's End River Meteors in a single breath. His face was ruddy and his body and resonant power were as red as lava. Immense heat emanated from his body.

It was clear that utilizing the Dragon Fang Formation to grab two meteors had exerted quite a bit of energy.

The other three Guardian Generals were the same.

The only exception was Li Zhihuo.

He had single handedly grabbed three of them.

Everyone heard cheers arise from the Dragon's Blood Guardians. They had obtained the greatest number of World's End River Meteor and thus would purify a greater number of Star Pearls.

However, the other four Guardian Generals were used to this. Li Zhihuo was the strongest amongst them, so it wasn’t surprising that he could take three.

Li Foluo only shot him a quick glance before retracting his gaze. He waved his sleeve, and two gigantic magma dragons flew out, wrapping around the two World's End River Meteors before bringing them towards the golden lotus platform where the Dragon's Fang Guardians were.

He heaved a long breath and then sat down cross-legged. He had expended quite a bit of energy and needed to quickly recover before the next round of meteors.

When it came to the second step of Star Transformation, he would leave it to the Dragon Fang Envoys.

How many Star Pearls they ended up with depended on the abilities of the two of them. That said, the purification rate didn't differ by too much amongst the rest.

"Luo Jiang, Jiang Qing'e, each of you will take control of five thousand guardians and purify the World's End River Meteor to obtain Star Pearls." After Li Foluo's command descended, a meteor the size of a small mountain landed before both Luo Jiang and Jiang Qing'e.

Jiang Qing'e raised her pretty, delicate face at this moment, and her gaze flickered when looking at the World's End River Meteor before her.

"Purification?" This was something she was particularly adept in.
