Chapter 1234: Purifying the World End's River Meteor

The divine light resonant power swept across the sky. The worldly natural energy in the surroundings was transformed into light resonant power upon contact with it. Then it rushed back into the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried behind Jiang Qing'e like a rainbow.

No one, not even the five Guardian Generals, had seen such pristine purification prowess before.

At this moment, Jiang Qing'e was like a holy goddess that lit up the world, dispersing all of the darkness from it.

The World's End River Meteor began to melt, shrinking at a shocking speed.

After just a few moments, it was smaller than the 980 feet that Luo Jiang had achieved with all his might.

Moreover, the speed at which it was shrinking had not slowed down. The meteor continued to reduce in size as everyone watched in disbelief.

As the purification continued, the color of the World's End River Meteor began to turn brighter and purer. The majestic energy inside it flowed turbulently as if it was boiling.

"Is this the power of triple ninth-grade light resonances and a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried?"

All the members of the Dragon's Fang Guardians were dumbfounded. At the same time, they were elated. They all knew that light resonant power was especially effective in cleansing corruption, but none of them had ever witnessed the miraculous sight of three ninth-grade light resonances stacked on top of each other.

Frankly, it was terrifying.

The members of the other four Guardian Armies were taken aback as well.

The cheers from the Dragon's Blood Guardians had died down. When they saw what Jiang Qing'e was doing, they were worried that she would catch up to Yuan Tianzhao's progress very soon.

Li Hongque's face turned extremely dark and she clenched her fists tightly. Jiang Qing'e was too dazzling; she had completely stolen the limelight from the other Dragon Envoys.

What was worse was that she was engaged to Li Luo, and Li Luo was supporting Li Hongyou!

This made her dislike Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e too.

Li Hongque suddenly shifted her eyes to the sky. She looked towards Yuan Tianzhao and whispered, "Brother Yuan, we can't lose to the Dragon's Fang Guardians. Can you purify and refine the next World's End River Meteor a little more?"

Strictly speaking, Li Hongque was lower ranked than Envoy Yuan Tianzhao and should have acted more politely. However, she was a very haughty person and had always looked down on those with a different surname. Moreover, Li Zhihuo had been trying to matchmake the two of them, and she knew that Yuan Tianzhao liked her quite a bit.

Thus, she always acted hot and cold towards Yuan Tianzhao. Although the latter was considered quite talented amongst his peers, she had always been quite aloof towards him.

As such, Yuan Tianzhao was a little surprised when he heard Li Hongque calling him “Brother Yuan.” A passionate smile appeared on his face, but it slowly turned a little awkward. "Hongque, this new Dragon Fang Envoy is a little too monstrous. With a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried and triple ninth-grade light resonances, I think she can purify a World's End River Meteor to less than six hundred feet. Even though I am stronger than her in terms of raw strength, I may not be able to beat her when it comes to this."

Li Hongque frowned at his response. "Brother Yuan, I know that this is a little challenging. However, we cannot let the Dragon's Fang Guardians steal the limelight. I also don't need you to beat her every time. However, we should at least triumph over her first attempt so that we can keep her reined in."

Yuan Tianzhao hesitated for a moment. He noticed that Li Hongque was getting a little unhappy, so he nodded in the end. "I will give it a try later. However, I can't do this all the time, or I'll risk hurting my own foundation."

Hearing this, Li Hongque's smile finally returned. "The Dragon's Blood Guardians’ reputation will depend on you, Brother Yuan."

Yuan Tianzhao shook his head and sighed in his heart. Of course, he knew that this was a selfish request from Li Hongque. However, he could not turn her down. If he wanted to develop himself further in the Dragon's Blood Lineage, he would have to rely on her and her connections. Otherwise, his cultivation journey would be limited once he left the Dragon's Blood Guardians. It was possible that even someone like him wouldn’t be able to get any important positions in the future. Thus, he had to do his best. As for leaving the Dragon's Blood Lineage, he had never even thought about it. After all, he knew very well that what he had achieved today was all thanks to the resources provided by the Dragon's Blood Lineage. At this point, he raised his head and frowned at the slender figure shrouded in holy light resonant power. Her resonances gave her an immense advantage in this particular situation. Right now, all he could pray for was that her limit was shrinking the World's End River Meteor to a size of six hundred feet or so. Surely... it wouldn't get any smaller than that, right?

After all, she was still at a much lower grade than him.

Everyone watched her without batting an eyelid. The World's End River Meteor in front of Jiang Qing'e had shrunk to eight hundred feet now under the intense light resonant power.

Seven hundred and fifty feet!

Seven hundred feet!

The Dragon's Fang Guardians were cheering excitedly at this point. Thunderous applause resounded in the air.

This purification attempt would soon surpass that of Yuan Tianzhao from the Dragon's Blood Guardians!

Some of the members had even begun to calculate how many Star Pearls they would get.

However, she showed no signs of stopping.

The World's End River Meteor gradually shrank even more.

In the end, it stopped around 570 feet.

It hovered in the air with dazzling light. At this point, the World's End River Meteor was like a giant crystal gemstone.

All of the Dragon's Fang Guardians stared at it with delighted grins.

Nonetheless, Jiang Qing'e did not stop there. She channeled more light resonant power into it in order to erase the last traces of corruption within the World's End River Meteor.

"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, that's enough already! You may stop now!" Luo Jiang exclaimed in surprise.

"There is still a little corruption left in it," Jiang Qing'e replied with a frown.

She was extremely sensitive to corruption, and at the same time, she was a perfectionist. Therefore, she would not be fine with stopping here.

Luo Jiang did not know whether to cry or laugh at this. He had not expected Jiang Qing'e to have such high expectations for herself. Although the leftover corruption would affect the amount of the Star Pearls, there shouldn't be too much of a difference.

Completely purifying all the corruption in a World's End River Meteor was close to an impossible task.

Even though Jiang Qing'e had triple ninth-grade light resonances, it was clear that she was facing some difficulty at this point.

A voice suddenly came from the side and caught Luo Jiang by surprise. He turned his head and saw Li Luo walking up. "Dragon Fang Envoy Luo, can you lend me two thousand Guardians from your side? I will help her."

"You?" Luo Jiang stared back at Li Luo. The doubt in his eyes was not hidden at all. After all, Jiang Qing'e had nearly purified the World's End River Meteor to its limit. Even if he lent a helping hand at this point, it would have no effect whatsoever. Besides, Li Luo was still at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier; what could he do with the power of two thousand Guardians?

"I just want to give it a try," Li Luo said with a smile. He knew how much of a perfectionist Jiang Qing'e was, so he wanted to try helping her out.

Luo Jiang hesitated for a moment. However, he nodded in the end. There was no harm in granting his request. Perhaps Li Luo really had some special trick up his sleeve. Maybe this generation of the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies would see a World's End River Meteor that had been purified to a size below five hundred feet as a result of this decision.

When was the last time such a miracle had happened? It was so far back that no one could recall. Even Li Taixuan couldn't pull it off. Li Luo expressed his gratitude to Luo Jiang with a smile. He then gripped his Grand Commander plaque rightly and focused his mind. An enormous pool of energy surged up within the Dragon Fang Formation and flowed into his body.

It was an extremely strong and domineering power. However, Li Luo did not feel any pressure when wielding it. He was familiar with it after all.

"Sister Qing'e, are you having trouble purifying the last bit of corruption?" Li Luo asked with a grin as he walked up to Jiang Qing'e.

Jiang Qing'e nodded slightly. "The energy inside is already very refined. However, the last bit of corruption is hidden so deep that even my light resonant power is having some difficulty."

"Do you need my help?" Li Luo asked with a smirk.

Jiang Qing'e looked at him in surprise. She did not ask how Li Luo was going to help, as she knew Li Luo wouldn't do meaningless things.

"Give me your hand," Li Luo said.

Jiang Qing'e took another glance at Li Luo. Her inadvertent gaze was enchanting. It was simply a rare sight for outsiders. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she stretched out her hand and placed it onto Li Luo's palm.

"Let me see what you're up to." She laughed lightly.

"Activate your light resonant power," Li Luo replied with a beam.

The other members of the Five Guardian Armies watched with perplexed looks on their faces. Was he trying to force his way into the limelight? What was Li Luo trying to do? Even with the strength of two thousand members, what could someone at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier possibly do?

Under all their confused gazes, Jiang Qing'e summoned up her dazzling light resonant power once again. At the same time, Li Luo focused his mind and activated the mysterious Auric Halo and the Acquired Resonance Flame.

The mysterious flame flowed through their tightly held hands and fused with her light resonant power.

Suddenly, the light resonant power appeared to have been imbued with flames.

Their combined energy flowed towards the giant World's End River Meteor in front of them and entered its depths.

In the next instant, everyone’s eyes went wide in disbelief. Blinding light burst out of the World's End River Meteor! Despite being extremely close to its limit, the meteor began to shrink once more!

Originally, the World's End River Meteor had a weird, irregular shape. However, it had suddenly become a sphere, and all impurities and corruption within it appeared to have been cleansed completely. Most shocking of all, the World's End River Meteor had shrunk to a size of three hundred feet! Everyone on the five golden lotus platforms was at a loss for words. The place fell into complete silence.
