Chapter 1452: Yan Feng

When Li Luo passed through the distorted space, he could clearly sense that his surroundings were in constant flux, causing him to turn dizzy for a few breaths of time. When he finally regained clarity, the world in front of him had changed drastically. Gigantic mountains protruded from the ground, forming a seemingly endless range. Within were seas, lakes, deserts, stone forests, and all sorts of complicated terrain features. What was most eye-catching were the Domain Traversal Platforms that stood on large pillars that pierced the skies.

The team from the East Divine Continent consisted of about a hundred individuals, all of which flew into the skies and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

This was the battleground of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda's trials.

Li Luo looked into the distance and saw a few people flying up, all of them giving off majestic resonant power undulations that billowed across the skies.

Those were the Azuresea Divine Continent's sage colleges.

A female's voice echoed from afar, filling the entire area. "Guo Jiufeng, why don't you take the initiative to surrender and save some face? Once we take action, we won't be merciful."

When Li Luo looked at the source of the voice, he saw a petite lady at the fore of the Azuresea Divine Continent's squad looking casually in their direction.

It was the Azuresea Divine Continent's most powerful expert, Shui Baoping. She had three nine-pillar Duke Bergfrieds and was an upper sixth-grade Duke. This sort of strength placed her at the top amongst her peers and gave her the right to act like such.

When faced with Shui Baoping's callous attitude, Guo Jiufeng replied with words of his own. "Stop with the crap. Enter the field!"

Shui Baoping lazily stretched her waist, revealing her bodily curves. She shook her head and replied disdainfully, "What a waste of time."

There was obviously a large gap in strength between the two parties and yet they still deigned to fight on stubbornly.

"Yan Feng, Zhang Yu, quickly dispose of your opponents and bring this to an end."

The two men on Shui Baoping's sides nodded.

"Get on the platforms, everyone!" After which, Shui Baoping swiftly rushed ahead, heading towards the largest and most magnificent Domain Traversal Platform with the mentors of the Holy Kun Sage College behind her.

At the same time, the non-main seat sage college squads rushed towards the smaller Domain Traversal Platforms.

The small Domain Traversal Platforms were still capable of blessing their side with worldly natural energy. Although the effect was minor compared to the main platforms, it was still considerable when accumulated.

Guo Jiufeng then glanced at Wang Xu and the rest. "I'll do my best to hold back Shui Baoping and prevent her from reinforcing the rest."

"Thank you for your efforts, Vice Principal Guo Jiufeng," the rest replied.

They all understood that she had three nine-pillar Duke Bergfrieds, whereas Guo Jiufeng only had two. The difference in their foundations meant that he would undoubtedly be under much pressure. Even then, the group's hearts remained weary. They knew that with the large gap in strength between the parties, they couldn't comprehend how victory was even possible.

"Everyone, just do your best."

Guo Jiufeng understood why the rest were depressed. However, there was nothing he could do now other than to offer some consolatory words. After which, he no longer hesitated and shot forward, leading the squad from the Enlightened Sage College towards the Domain Traversal Platform that Shui Baoping was on. Wang Xu similarly led the squad from Sacredspring Sage College towards Zhang Yu's squad.

As the different squads entered the battlefield with drawn swords, worldly natural energy began to rage. At the same time, innumerable majestic Duke Bergfrieds materialized and began to devour the energy around them.

Li Luo waved his hand and led the Astral Sage College's squad towards one of the large Domain Traversal Platforms as well. Once he landed, he immediately looked across and saw six people standing there. The one at the fore was a middle-aged man who looked a little short and fat.

This was the Holy Turtle Sage College's vice principal, Yan Feng. Accompanying him were two upper fourth-grade Dukes.

On the surface, they did look much stronger than the Astral Sage College's lineup.

"I never would have expected that the East Divine Continent would actually choose to send a second-grade Transcendent brat to challenge me," Yan Feng said as he sized Li Luo up. It was clear that he had a good understanding of the intel on him. "Mentor Li Luo, you might have breathtaking talent, but you've spent too little time in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda. If you think that you will be able to outshine everyone here, I'm afraid you might have to wait for next time."

Yan Feng did not underestimate Li Luo. On the contrary, he was in awe of his talent, and it would be impossible to find anyone who could compare with him in the outer divine continents in his generation. In fact, there were few who could match him even amongst the ancient colleges. Someone with such unparalleled talent and ability coming from East Divine Continent's sage colleges was incomprehensible.

Li Luo cupped his hands and smiled. "We will know once we exchange blows, no?"

Yan Feng shook his head, no longer speaking. He took a step forward, and his six Duke Bergfrieds soared into the sky, absorbing incredible amounts of worldly natural energy. One of which was a nine-pillar that was particularly majestic.

These six Duke Bergfrieds caused resonant power to surge over like a tide, and a massive golden turtle surfaced from under the waves. At the same time, a cold, hard, grayish aura that resembled a rock condensed above it.

These were his resonances.

Upper eighth-grade Golden Turtle resonance

Upper eighth-grade Stone resonance.

"I'm curious to see what you have that gives you the confidence to challenge me. After all, a second-grade Transcendent is only comparable to a fifth-grade Duke," Yan Feng said as his sharp gaze focused on Li Luo.

Golden Divine Mist flowed out of his six Duke Bergfrieds, the mist coming from the nine-pillar Duke Bergfried being particularly dense. Mighty energy undulations swept outwards like a tempest.

Chi Chan, Mi Er, and Cao Sheng's expressions changed.

The pressure of an upper sixth-grade Duke was simply overbearing.

Although Li Luo had clashed against Wang Xu briefly, it was merely a probing blow. It looked as though Yan Feng was releasing his full power from the beginning.

Yan Feng no longer hesitated and formed a hand seal. The Divine Mist poured downwards, and an instant later, the void shuddered and the mist transformed into a gigantic golden palm print that slapped heavily towards Li Luo.

He wanted to experience for himself just what gave Li Luo the confidence to stand there proudly.

The golden palm print smashed through the air, engraved with countless runes that resembled the shell of a turtle.

The other mentors beneath the palm print felt as though a mountain was bearing down upon them. Li Hongyou's face turned pale as she was the weakest out of everyone present and thus could not easily withstand the mere pressure of Yan Feng's attack. Only Lu Qing'er remained icily calm without much change.

Li Luo knew that he had to step up right now; otherwise, the morale of the squad would be crushed. If he allowed that to happen, the entire squad would crumble without much effort.

Bang!

Two dazzling Duke Bergfrieds materialized in the sky above Li Luo, attracting everyone's curious gazes. They were manifestations of perfection and completion, giving off an aura that everyone desired. This was something others had always dreamed about. They released a large amount of Divine Mist, and even though it was sparser than Yan Feng's Divine Mist, it was much more condensed and full of spirituality. At the same time, it felt more in tune with the world around them. Transcendent Divine Mist!

This was something that belonged only to Transcendent Dukes and was much more mystical.

Li Luo's expression was calm as the four resonant palaces within him roared to life and boundless amounts of resonant power surged into his Absolute Resonance Halo.

It was then converted into hexa-resonant power, which contained a thin strand of source origin.

When the hexa-resonant power poured out, it rushed into his Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, which then began to burst with dazzling light. Rivers, ancient trees, thunder, and even the shadows of a dragon could be seen within it...

The appearance of this mysterious phenomena caused the surrounding worldly natural energy to become much more vibrant. It poured into the Duke Bergfrieds, making them look even more radiant and eye-catching. This incredible sight took everyone's breath away!
