Chapter 1354: Quasi ninth-grade Woodearth Resonance

"Li Luo!"

The sudden attack on Li Luo caused Jiang Qing'e's expression to change. Shen Yunge's explosive outburst was beyond their expectations.

Anger and coldness surfaced in Jiang Qing'e's deep, golden eyes.

Her jade-like hands quickly formed hand seals and the Archaic Rune on her forehead began to emit a blinding radiance. The Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried above her began to shine with thousands of rays of brilliant light. It gave off a sense of purity as Divine Mist poured downwards like a baptizing waterfall. Another Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light took form before her, and when Divine Mist adorned it, a large number of sacred runes were engraved on its blade.

A moment later, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light directly hacked towards Shen Yunge with the intent to slaughter him. Even the humongous amounts of corruption that blotted out the skies were sliced in two by this slash.

Despite Shen Yunge having an eroded mind and being in a constant state of confusion, he could sense how harmful the light resonant power coming from Jiang Qing'e's furious assault was. Thus, he reached over his shoulder and pulled out an obsidian bone spur from his back. The bone spur resembled a sharp and long spear, its tip dripping with an inky substance. Every single droplet was the product of incredibly condensed corruption.

Shen Yunge's finger flicked outwards, and the bone spur imbued with dense corruption pierced through the void with

bang

, colliding against the humongous sword made of light.

Boom!

A loud explosion ensued, and the two frightening energies attempted to erode away at each other.

If it were an average fourth-grade Duke attacking, much less a first-grade, they would have found it hard to resist Shen Yunge's strike.

However, Jiang Qing'e's triple ninth-grade light resonant energy had the added benefit of being able to purify corruption. It was clear that the seemingly weak light resonant power was dealing with the billowing corruption, slowly but surely.

Tens of breaths later, the obsidian bone spur and the glazed sword of light shattered simultaneously.

This sight caused the spectators’ eyebrows to jump in shock. By their estimations, if they were in the same position, they would not have been able to stop Shen Yunge. However, just as the sword of light dissipated, a sudden glint of blood light pierced through space and appeared before Shen Yunge in a flash.

It was the bright red Nail of Piercing Light! This was the Sacred Crown of Thorns' offensive ability, and she had secretly nestled away a Nail of Piercing Light into the sword of light, only to appear when it was destroyed as a sneaky follow-up. This was both abrupt and unexpected. and before Shen Yunge was able to react, the bright red stream of light flickered and appeared right before his head.

However, before it was able to strike him, pitch-black snake scales sprouted from his forehead, as though it was a suit of armor.

Clang!

Sparks flew when the golden nail was blocked.

Jiang Qing'e's gaze turned solemn. The Nail of Piercing Light had managed to penetrate half an inch into his head before being blocked by the scales.

Inky-black blood flowed from the injury as it slowly closed up, squeezing the nail out.

Shen Yunge laughed callously. "Why are you so anxious? It looks like you've been aggravated by the fact that I killed Li Luo. However, the angrier you are, the happier I will be!"

Under the influence of corruption, all of Shen Yunge's negative emotions came spilling out.

"So what if you have three ninth-grade light resonances? You’re alone! Today, I'll have a taste of your brilliant flesh and blood!"

Shen Yunge's pitch-black snake tail waved from side to side, resulting in the void cracking apart from the casual movements. The corruption coming out of his body continued to intensify, covering both the skies and the sun, as though a giant devil had descended upon the world.

The terrifying snake head embedded on his chest continued to hiss, and an inky-black substance constantly dripped onto the ground.

Seeing the mighty and merciless Shen Yunge caused the crowd's hearts to sink.

Jiang Qing'e's jade countenance was frigid and the sword in her hand flowed with light, creating a sword of light a thousand feet long that devoured worldly natural energy endlessly. Her voice was cold as she said, "Killing Li Luo isn't that easy."

When Shen Yunge heard her words, he turned and looked beneath him. Smoke billowed up from amidst the shattered ruins, and a majestic burst of energy swept everything away.

Everyone's gazes hurriedly turned over to the source of the commotion.

They could see a slender person standing there.

It was, surprisingly, Li Luo.

The only thing was that he seemed a little miserable. His violet-golden scale armor had been smashed in several places and a fist imprint could be seen on his chest, almost penetrating through his body.

He had been left with a deep wound.

The corner of his mouth was streaked with blood, and he casually wiped it away with a smile. "I was almost killed by a single punch from you."

His incredibly robust physical body was only possible with the combination of Transforming Dragon and the Heavenly Dragon True Body. It had reached a level of tenacity that was frightening. Without it, he would have likely died.

He had brushed past death at that very moment.

Thus, he couldn't help but sigh. Things were truly perilous when pitted against an opponent that far surpassed him. One mistake and he would lose his life.

That said, it was only through such life-and-death experiences that one could break through and activate their potential.

Li Luo tightly gripped the Dragon Elephant Blade. "Speaking of which, I need to thank you for that punch. It helped me surpass that final barrier."

As he spoke, resonant power exploded out from his body. It was emerald-green in color and gave off a feeling of vitality. The wound on his chest very quickly healed under its effect.

At the same time, a slightly brown resonant power came out, giving one a sense of heaviness.

The two energies combined behind Li Luo, transforming into an illusory figure that resembled him.

It was... a ninth-grade Spirit Avatar!

Everyone was shocked by this. How had Li Luo's resonance evolved to the ninth-grade here?

Looking at how the figure was illusory, it indicated that his resonance was quasi ninth-grade.

This was the quasi ninth-grade woodearth resonance! Li Luo could feel the woodearth resonant power course through his body. Within the resonant palace, the ancient and towering tree that was rooted in the earth began to grow, becoming even more indomitable and massive.

A trace of a smile that could not be hidden surfaced on his face.

When Lu Shuanglu had handed him the two bottles of quasi ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights, he had immediately used them secretly to temper his resonant palace. Unfortunately, the process had been relatively slow, and after being struck by Shen Yunge, his body had been forced to its limits and his potential was stimulated as a result, causing the speed of tempering to skyrocket. Thus, the woodearth resonance had evolved!

His heart was surging as he had finally achieved his goal after years of hard work.

Three ninth-grade resonances!

Furthermore, all of them had both primary and secondary resonances.

He had benefited greatly from this.

Li Luo took a step forward, and majestic amounts of resonant power shot into the sky like a massive pillar. It then unfurled into a humongous Heavenly Resonance Diagram.

When it came out, it quickly expanded as worldly natural energy poured in.

From afar, Qin Yi, Lu Shuanglu, Li Hongyou, Li Hongque, and the rest looked at it with surprise. The Heavenly Resonance Diagram was expanding further!

99,600 feet!

99,900 feet!

99,990 feet! Its rate of growth paused momentarily for a few breaths before it started to grow yet again!

Bang!

The entire world seemed to be rumbling in anticipation of what was happening.

The Heavenly Resonance Diagram expanded by yet another ten feet!

In the end, an extremely rare and magnificent Heavenly Resonance Diagram appeared before everyone's eyes. It was a perfect 100,000 feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram!
