Chapter 1532: Heavenly Emperors Battle

Boundless amounts of that mysterious energy shot into the skies, illuminating the heavens. Even Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were taken aback upon seeing this. They could make out the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's resonances in that vast amount of enigmatic energy. Cloud resonance, star resonance, moon resonance, illusion resonance. All four of them had reached the supreme ninth-grade. They flowed with domineering might, capable of moving the earth and shifting the heavens.

The mystifying energy continued to flow before finally fusing into a purple cloud that gradually unfurled, transforming into a scroll with purple clouds on it. There was also a range of towering mountains, flowing rivers, the moon, the sun, stars, and also billions of living creatures on it.

It was like it contained an entire world.

As the Purple Cloud Scroll slowly unravelled, the entire world seemed to turn upside down. The Celestial Mirror Pagoda and even the Celestial Mirror Continent were transported into the scroll.

At the same time, boundless amounts of purple energy surged outwards, forming an ancient violet seal in the skies.

The seal was engraved with the most primordial runes, every single stroke containing the mysteries of the universe's genesis, emitting absolute might that could suppress everything. As the violet seal descended, it looked incomparably slow, but it appeared right before the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor in the blink of an eye. It looked as though it was capable of sealing anything.

"Is this the Violet Cloud Zenith Seal? I've heard that it sealed a Grand Devil King for a hundred years." The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor grinned upon seeing it. "However, I'm afraid this will not be enough to stop me."

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor opened its mouth and spat out a stream of gray energy. It looked rather feeble at first, but an instant later, it started to rage between the heavens and the earth. It had an extremely strange effect—everyone was horrified to see that whatever the gray energy touched would instantly vanish.

It was as though it could casually rub things out of existence like a drawing on a board. Everything turned into nothingness.

When the tidal wave of gray energy struck the violet seal, there was no catastrophic explosion. However, the invisible undulations produced from the clash caused the Kings, much less Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, to feel as though they were facing a fearsome enemy. They knew that if they had not been swept up into the Cloud Heavenly Emperor's Cloud Scroll, just the aftermath alone would have caused the Kings to suffer greatly. Meanwhile, those below the King Stage like Li Luo might be wiped out of existence.

As the gray energy continued to propagate, the violet seal trembled and the ancient and terrifying runes on it began to dim.

When the Cloud Heavenly Emperor saw this, he couldn't help but to sigh. "Your Greater Emptiness Energy produced from your void resonance is indeed very domineering."

"Void resonance?" Li Luo was a little surprised to hear this. So it turned out that the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor possessed such a rare resonance.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor smiled. "Cloud Heavenly Emperor, as I said before, you cannot stop me from obtaining the crystal resonance."

He casually beckoned, and the bluestone seal representing the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Sect Master vanished.

It then reappeared in front of the Heavenly Emperor's remains and let out a glorious burst of light that wrapped around the crystal resonance and the Divine Fruit.

The crystal resonance didn't show any signs of resisting and gradually broke free of the constraints applied to it by the heart.

When the Cloud Heavenly Emperor saw this, his gaze turned deep and he resolved himself to take action.

Meanwhile, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor grinned. "Cloud Heavenly Emperor, if you use all your strength, you will just trigger an explosion of the heart. I'm afraid the Celestial Mirror Pagoda might very well be lost if you do that. Your foundation is simply insufficient. You have no right to claim the crystal resonance for yourself. No one other than me can take it."

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor paused and fell silent. "If I can't stop you from obtaining it, I'll just make sure you can't leave."

He waved his sleeve, and vast amounts of cloud energy swept across the world. Moonlight and starlight flowed within it, all of it condensing into a series of violet cloud talismans which then transformed into talisman beads.

The talisman beads then descended, gradually increasing in size. In the end, they filled everyone's vision as they had grown to be as large as stars!

The entire scene was simply spectacular.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor gave a loud laugh and the void behind it shattered. At this point, a pitch-black demon ape walked out. It was clearly one of its resonances. The demon ape grasped outwards with its titanic hands, grabbing an ebony gourd from the void. It then poured the contents of the gourd into its mouth, causing it to swell.

Ptui!

The demon ape then spat, causing the entire world to be filled with grayish energy. At the same time, countless spinning vortexes appeared, forming spatial rifts that led to nowhere. Each of these rifts was like a bottomless abyss, matching the talisman stars.

In the moment of collision, stars endlessly filled up the rifts and strange whistling sounds echoed out of their depths, grinding the talisman stars into pieces.

The magical powers displayed by the Heavenly Emperors in their battle left everyone starstruck and dizzy.

However, Jiang Qing'e grabbed Li Luo's hand and stealthily whispered, "Hurry and find the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art!"

Li Luo was awakened at this moment as he was reminded of his goal.

At this moment, Wang Xuanjin, Bai Yu, and Jin Xi were all protecting the ancient altar. If he wanted to head over, he would need a good reason; otherwise, they wouldn't casually let him cause a disturbance. After all, the Celestial Mirror Pagoda's safety and the crystal resonance were simply too important.

Li Luo's gaze flickered as he said to Wang Xuanjin, "Principal Wang Xuanjin, the crystal resonance with a Divine Fruit is currently being captured by the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's bluestone seal."

The three Kings all glanced at each other with expressions of worry. This was truly a hidden danger for them. If the crystal resonance was taken away by the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, then the Cloud Heavenly Emperor alone might not be sufficient to keep him occupied. After all, it was a lot harder to stop a Heavenly Emperor from leaving.

However, they didn't have any solutions. They didn't dare to enter the depths of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda; otherwise, if they accidentally triggered the heart of the Heavenly Emperor, the unstable waves could detonate, destroying everything.

"I may have a way that might work." Li Luo grinned.

"You?" Jin Xi and Bai Yu glanced at him suspiciously. In such a situation, even the Kings were helpless. Li Luo was only a Duke, so what could he do?

Li Luo then attentively explained, "Principal Wang, you know what the Absolute Resonance Seed is, right? Only those who have been designated as the successor to the Sect Master would have it. Thus, from another point of view, don't I hold a special position here? If I take advantage of my status, I might be able to contest the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's bluestone seal's effects. Perhaps I might even be able to change the situation."

The three Kings were a little startled by his suggestion. Could this even work? However, after thinking through it, it did make some sense. Most importantly, trying it out was better than doing nothing at all.

Wang Xuanjin was someone decisive and made his decision not long after. "Why don't you give it a go?"

The other two Kings didn't reject him. Li Luo was overjoyed. "However, before I can do this, I need to get onto the altar and complete my Absolute Resonance Seed. Thus, I hope that the three of you can assist me."

Wang Xuanjin gave Li Luo a deep look. "I'm afraid that has been your true goal all along."

"Everyone is just taking what they need after all," Li Luo admitted readily.

Wang Xuanjin fell silent before nodding. "I trust your character and believe you won't do anything detrimental to the Academic Federation."

Bai Yu and Jin Xi looked each other in the eye. If they let Li Luo through at this point and if something went wrong at the critical moment, leading to the destruction of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, then Wang Xuanjin might be punished despite his identity. However, since Wang Xuanjin had chosen to support Li Luo's actions, they naturally would not object.

Wang Xuanjin then said, "I'll send you onto the ancient altar. However, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor has secretly laid a layer of Greater Emptiness Energy around it. If you rush in recklessly, you'll be annihilated into nothingness the moment you touch it."

Li Luo was shocked to hear this, and he felt a hint of fear. It was fortunate that he had not rushed towards the altar and had pitched his plan to Wang Xuanjin. Otherwise, he would have met a miserable end.

"Then I'll have to thank you, Principal Wang. I'll definitely do my best to protect the Celestial Mirror Pagoda," Li Luo solemnly said.

Wang Xuanjin nodded, then the three Kings turned and began to make their way towards the ancient altar.

"Let's go."
