Chapter 1534: Void Resonance's Six Sons, Wang Taixi

The grand voice boomed endlessly throughout the heavens and the earth, attracting surprised eyes. Even the Cloud Heavenly Emperor and the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor looked at the sight with astonishment. They could see a person floating above the ancient altar. He was a man as tall as a pine tree, garbed in a robe embroidered with a golden sun. His demeanor was heroic and his eyes were deep like the abyss, giving others a sense of peace and wisdom.

He emanated an ancient aura, as though he didn't belong in this era. Everything about him seemed completely alien.

"Void Resonance's Six Sons, Wang Taixi?" Li Luo was similarly surprised by this development. He had never thought that taking out the bronze lamp during this critical moment would lead to this person popping out. Li Luo was once again reminded of what had happened in the Spiritual Resonance Cave all those years ago, when he had encountered the Lantern Bearer. He was like a restless spirit constantly drifting around the area. His name was Wang Taixi and he was one of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Six Sons.

Most importantly, hadn't he long disappeared from the world of the living? How had he reappeared?

The Wang Taixi before Li Luo now had a much more mature and vast aura when compared to the ghost he had seen inside the Spiritual Resonance Cave, when he acted as the Lantern Bearer. Li Luo's mind was filled with all sorts of questions and guesses, but regardless, this was great news.

As Wang Taixi's voice echoed, the bluestone seal that had been communicating with the ancient altar began to tremble, as if it was evaluating his words.

A few moments later, the bluestone seal turned away as though it had verified Wang Taixi's identity. It was no longer fixated on the ancient altar, and it stopped transmitting the command. Li Luo was excited to discover that the gigantic altar was once again releasing immense amounts of divine light. The Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art's transmission had restarted once again.

The Absolute Resonance Halo within his body began to blaze with flames and resumed with its transformation. Wang Taixi's appearance had clearly disrupted the command the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor had given to the bluestone seal.

Clearly, Wang Taixi's position within the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was also incredibly high. From his words, he had enough power to recommend someone to be part of the Sacred Sons. Based on Li Luo's understanding, every Legacy Sacred Son was a candidate for the Sect Master's position.

Wang Taixi had used his authority to recognize Li Luo, which meant that the bluestone seal would have to recognize him as well. In this case, the process and rules had been followed appropriately.

Thus, Li Luo was now allowed to cultivate the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art.

"The Sacred Void Resonance Sect's rules are a little too strict..."

Li Luo thought to himself. However, this was also to be expected. The sect was a gigantic behemoth of its era, and its strength and foundation surpassed imagination. Even the current Academic Federation and Origin Reversion Institute paled in comparison. In order to ensure that such a huge sect could continue to prosper for a long time, its rules and hierarchy had to be strict.

"Thank you, senior." Li Luo shelved the unimportant thoughts in his mind and respectfully clasped his fists towards Wang Taixi.

Wang Taixi stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of time whilst his body remained in an ethereal state. It was clear that he no longer existed in the world, but he still glanced at the Celestial Mirror Pagoda with complex emotions in his eyes.

"I never thought that I, a mere spiritual remnant, would be able to set my eyes on this place again." Wang Taixi sighed lightly before turning towards Li Luo.

"I suppose I have to thank you for this. Granting you the position of a Legacy Sacred Son can be considered a show of a gratitude."

On the other hand, Li Luo could see that Wang Taixi's eyes were occasionally filled with confusion but other times clear, a strange sight to behold. It seemed as though he wouldn't be able to remain here for much longer.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor looked at Wang Taixi with a face full of shocked fury as it coldly asked, "Void Resonance's Six Sons, Wang Taixi? A mere shadow from ages past dares to meddle in my matters?"

With a thought, he activated the bluestone seal and used it to issue yet another order. "Representing the Sect Master's will: strip the Void Resonance's Six Sons' Wang Taixi of his title."

If Wang Taixi lost his position as the Void Resonance's Six Sons, his previous command for Li Luo to become a Legacy Sacred Son would be nullified.

However, the bluestone seal merely emitted a faint light and nothing happened. The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's expression sunk.

It was then that Wang Taixi gave a shallow smile. "I don't know how this Heavenly Emperor from a younger generation has managed to obtain the Sect Master's seal. However, you don't seem to know the process for which the Sacred Void Resonance Sect dismisses the Six Sons. Even the Sect Master would have to summon the entire Council of Elders and gather all Six Sons at the same time to accomplish this. With that in mind, how could you, a mere outsider who is only holding the Sect Master's seal, accomplish this? However, seeing that an outsider dares to brandish the Sect Master's seal, it means that the Sacred Void Resonance Sect no longer exists in this era."

At this point, Wang Taixi's eyes showed a deep sense of bewilderment and confusion as he mumbled to himself, "How could this be possible? The Sacred Void Resonance Sect lorded over the entire era under the guidance of the Sect Master. We were flourishing and invincible. How could we have fallen? Furthermore, why am I here? When the Sacred Void Resonance Sect organized an expedition into the Shadow World to put an end to the disasters that have lasted for countless years, I was ambushed and killed by three Grand Devil Kings. The Sect Master even said that he would resurrect me after that... The Sacred Void Resonance Sect should have won that battle in the end, right? I clearly saw that the Sect Master had walked to the end of the Shadow World and found the root of all evil, so how could the Sacred Void Resonance Sect have fallen?"

The confusion in his eyes intensified and he dimmed greatly. While Wang Taixi's thoughts were in chaos, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor waved its sleeve, causing gray energy to descend from the skies, turning everything into nothingness.

It planned to wipe out Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, Wang Taixi, and the rest in a single go.

But just before the gray energy could land, a humongous lotus made of violet energy appeared above the altar, sheltering those beneath from the Greater Emptiness Energy.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor had taken action yet again.

"Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, your opponent is me," the Cloud Heavenly Emperor said with a grin. He pointed with his finger, and endless amounts of violet energy condensed, sealing off the entire area like a prison and trapping the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor within.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's body bloomed with an astounding amount of mysterious light, projecting a sea of inky black water with no end in sight. At the same time, a humongous pitch-black demon ape stood up, spewing out a stream of saturnine energy.

Bang!

The inky black seawater suddenly shattered and another titanic figure surfaced. It was a three-headed Flood Dragon, its eyes glinting with murderous ferocity, shaking the heavens and the earth.

These were the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's resonances in physical form!

Emptiness resonance, Demon Ape resonance, inkwater resonance, Three Headed Flood Dragon resonance. It then grasped outwards with its hand, allowing all four resonances to gather on its palm, transforming into a black jade bottle. The bottle's exterior was engraved with the images of a demon ape and a flood dragon. A moment later, the jade bottle tipped over, pouring out grayish-black seawater.

Everything it touched was reduced absolute nothingness, a space that was emptied out.

"Cloud Heavenly Emperor, even if you let Li Luo become a Legacy Sacred Son, do you think he can change anything? The Divine Fruit crystal resonance is not something a piddly Duke can get involved with. If he approaches the depths of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, he will be wiped out by the mere aura emitted by the Heavenly Emperor's dead heart!" the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor said indifferently.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor didn't reply. He knew that what the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor was saying was true. Li Luo was like an ant making its way across the riverside where two rivers collided. If even a small wave were to strike in his direction, he would be wiped out. It was indeed wishful thinking to hope that Li Luo could change the situation. However, even so, he couldn't let the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor obtain the Divine Fruit crystal resonance.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor then formed a handseal with a single hand, and vast amounts of purple clouds condensed in the world around them. After which, billions of creatures walked out of the clouds, filled with vitality and sentience, as though they were living creatures.

The creatures chatted and laughed gaily as they joined hands to welcome the sea of annihilation.

He would use life to counter the emptiness.

As the Heavenly Emperors exchanged blows, Li Luo was gradually taking in the transmission of the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art. In the depths of his body, the flames surrounding the Absolute Resonance Halo gradually faded away, all of it consolidating within the cauldron in the middle.

The Absolute Resonance Halo had undergone a grand transformation after going through its baptism of flames. All of its defects had been fully repaired, creating a perfect golden wheel. The wheel was engraved with many primordial runes that emanated an aura that seemed to have been created when the world first came into existence. Most importantly, the cauldron in the middle of the Absolute Resonance Halo had a fist-sized flame quietly suspended within it.

Platinum-colored flames gradually started to burn...

This was the Greater Void Resonance Flame that could finally refine his fourth blank palace!
