Chapter 1391: Heavenly Peng's Talon Celestial Record

Middle ninth-grade Golden Winged Peng resonance! Upper ninth-grade space resonance! Tan Tailan's resonances were so bright, they blinded everyone who looks at them. This also included the likes of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

"Mother's resonances have evolved!"

Li Luo was surprised to see this. As far as he knew, Tan Tailan didn't have any resonance at the upper ninth-grade.

"It must be an evolution brought about from becoming a Transcendent Duke." Jiang Qing'e guessed.

When one reached the King Stage, all of their resonances would evolve. A Single Crowned King would have all of their resonances reach the lower ninth-grade, a Dual Crowned King the middle ninth-grade, and a Triple Crowned King would have three upper ninth-grade resonances. Being able to defeat Kings meant that Transcendent Dukes had similar abilities.

Tan Tailan was an eighth-grade Transcendent, capable of contending against Dual Crowned Kings. Thus, her resonances had also naturally risen to the middle ninth-grade. The upper ninth-grade space resonance was a little out of expectations and thus should have come about because of some miraculous opportunity she had encountered in the years she spent in the Nobles' Battlefield.

Li Luo's face was full of envy. He wanted to experience something similar. It was a pity that he was only a second-grade Transcendent... Furthermore, he had just destroyed one of his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds and fallen to the first-grade. Thus, the seventh-grade was quite a distance away.

Tan Tailan was unfazed by the shocked gazes of the crowd. Her slender hands began to form a series of hand seals. Countless cryptic and ancient seals manifested in quick succession, leaving behind illusory images. In a short span of time, Tan Tailan had formed tens of thousands of seals which lingered in the air like stars in the sky. These seals transformed into glimmers of light that soared higher into the air before entering the Heavenly Throne. Then the Throne itself lit up and an ancient star map with vast and terrifying energy fluctuations emerged.

Tan Tailan's cool voice rang out. "Your Excellency, you have bullied the younger ones as an elder. As a mother, I hate seeing them suffer, so I'll have to act on behalf of them and make a statement."

As she finished speaking, the deafening cry of a Peng resonated from the Transcendent Heavenly Throne. It was sharp and piercing, yet filled with absolute tyranny. The sound waves permeated into every corner of the World's End River Region.

The vast skies and void began to distort in the sound waves’ wake, looking as though fish scales had appeared out of thin air as the violent space energy poured out.

The ancient star map above the Transcendent Heavenly Throne was already alit, gold and silver light rising from it.

The stream of light resembled a simple but archaic gold and silver seal. However, its appearance caused all of the worldly natural energy within the World's End River Region to flow into it ceaselessly.

The gold and silver seal emanated a primordial air and almost seemed to have originated from the most ancient of times.

"That is..." Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of the high-grade Dukes looked shell-shocked when they recognized the object.

A few moments later, someone blurted out, "Source Origin Celestial Seal!"

Words were stuck in the crowd's mouths as they had expressions of horror whilst looking at the ancient seal. The Source Origin Celestial Seal was a symbol of a higher level of source origin power.

It was a power that existed at the absolute peak.

Most importantly, the Source Origin Celestial Seal was the key to activating Transcendent Duke Arts!

Transcendent Duke Arts were the mightiest Duke Arts. Even Kings would scramble to get their hands on one. Throughout the ages, whenever such a Duke Art appeared, they would attract the attention of the Heavenly Emperor powers who would then proceed to fight over them. Even Kings would take the field without care for their faces or reputations. If Tan Tailan had just condensed a Source Origin Celestial Seal, was she planning to utilize one?

When had she cultivated this?

But it made sense as well. In order to become a Transcendent Duke, one had to use a Transcendent Duke Art as a catalyst. The rest of the crowd looked on forlornly as Tan Tailan, someone who had suppressed a generation twenty years ago, had gotten so far ahead that she had left them in the dust despite being chased away.

The gold and silver seal began to shine with infinite rays of gold and silver light that illuminated the entire World's End River Region. It even pierced through the void and lit up areas adjacent to the region as well.

One could see a humongous Golden Peng take form. It was so large that one couldn't see the end of it. The moment it flapped its wings, the entire World's End River Region was covered by it. At the same time, a bright and esoteric silver light wrapped around its wings, a manifestation of space energy.

With Tan Tailan's current strength, she could even borrow the aid of the middle ninth-grade Golden Winged Peng resonance and the upper ninth-grade space resonance to whisk Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e away from the World's End River Region despite the spatial lock. She then stretched her finger out and lightly tapped the void.

"I hereby invite Your Excellency to have a taste of my art. This is... the Heavenly Peng's Talon Celestial Record."

The Golden Peng that had blotted out the skies immediately began to shrink at a rapid pace whilst boundless amounts of space energy continued to condense. In just a few moments, the entire world seemed to have quietened down.

A single silverish-golden pearl that rotated in the heavens appeared.

Even the Faceless Other King's blank visage showed signs of horror when it saw the pearl. The energy undulations it emitted made it feel incredibly uneasy.

Whoosh!

𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The pearl shot off.

The entire world seemed to have turned upside down at that moment.

The ground beneath crumbled, causing the ground to become uneven and jagged. If one were to look from above, they would see that the entire Treasure Domain had been imprinted with the shape of a Peng's wing.

Meanwhile, space began to fracture layer after layer.

The absolute power of a Transcendent Duke Art was beyond everyone's wildest imagination. It would forever change the landscape of this area.

Meanwhile, the silverish-golden pearl collided with the Faceless Life Eroding Smoke before everyone's eyes.

The pearl immediately exploded forth with frightening suction force, like a gaping abyssal mouth, directly swallowing up all of the cold, white smoke.

The pearl contained numerous separate spaces within, and everything was absorbed.

The Faceless Other King's featureless face began to twitch and a dull hum could be heard from it.

At the same time, its blank face began to shatter continuously and fresh, inky, black blood leaked from every crack.

Qin Baiyan and the rest were elated to see this. It seemed the Faceless Other King was heavily injured.

Tan Tailan's Transcendent Duke Art had demonstrated her superiority!

Boom!

A moment later, the Faceless Other King's body exploded, transforming into countless strange faces that began fleeing in every direction.

When Tan Tailan saw this, she raised her arm, and boundless amounts of space resonant power wrapped around it. She then lightly waved her hand.

Space immediately began to fracture, creating a gigantic spatial vortex. The faces that were attempting to escape were all sucked in and annihilated. Pained wails continuously rang out.

In just a few short moments, all of the faces had been grounded down into fine ash.

Tan Tailan's gaze flickered with silver light as she coldly snorted. "Do you think my children can be bullied by a fool like you?"

A furious and clearly hurt voice faintly rumbled in response before quickly dissipating away.

"Very, very good, Tan Tailan... What a great Transcendent Duke you are... The Origin Reversion Institute will remember this!"
