Chapter 1540: Heavenly Emperor Descends Again

"What?"

When Li Luo heard Jiang Qing'e's words, he paused for a moment without any response. Just what was inside the black coffin that had caused her to feel that way?

"Could it be that the black coffin is something that belongs to the Sacred Void Resonance Sect?" he asked in surprise.

Jiang Qing'e frowned and shook her head. When the black coffin first appeared, she could feel her heart thumping uncontrollably. It was a sensation that stemmed from the depths of her heart, as though she had come face to face with someone she was closely related to. In fact, whatever was inside didn't merely have some sort of peripheral relationship with her.

As the two remained in confusion, the black coffin pierced through the void, appearing in the depths of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda.

It quietly floated in the void, and an eerie, dusky light flowed around it. The light then split into two, one part reaching out towards the crystal resonance while the other part attempted to capture the duo.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor appeared above the black coffin and said in cold voice filled with the intent to kill. "The Genesis Seed is something that the Origin Reversion Institute requires. Since you're here, I'll bring you along with me. This wild Absolute Resonance Seed has too much potential, so it's best to get rid of it now."

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor appeared in front of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e with a gloomy gaze. Strands of his hair floated down, each imbued with great amounts of violet energy, and transformed into seven identical clones.

They then worked in unison with the main body to take action. The boundless violet clouds were torn apart and a gigantic sword condensed from the same energy appeared in the gap. The sword was engraved with symbols representing the moon and the stars, giving off a mysterious light that transformed into numerous talismans that orbited around it.

"Eight Emperors' Violet Talisman Sword."

Now that the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor had taken out the strange and terrifying black coffin, the Cloud Heavenly Emperor no longer held back either. He directly brandished his killing move in an attempt to end things.

The violet sword arced through the skies, tearing a path through the heavens.

When it collided against the dusky light, the violet sword was forced to stop in mid-air. Whereever the light passed through, the stars and moon engraved upon the sword would dim and the talismans wrapped around it would shrivel up and turn into dust.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor felt a headache coming. Just what was this black light? It was capable of easily resolving his mighty attack!

The dusky light then whizzed across the void, severing the heavens from the earth. The area around the Cloud Heavenly Emperor was separated from the void, temporarily exiling him into a separate space as the light wrapped around him.

The rest of the light then trapped both Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

Seeing that the dusky light was a power that even the Cloud Heavenly Emperor was unable to deal with left the two pale. They truly were like ants before this absolute power.

"I'll risk everything!" Li Luo's expression turned ferocious. Even though he knew that this was an opponent he couldn't beat, he wouldn't relent. The Absolute Resonance Halo above him began to rumble and an ancient sword formation swiftly took shape.

Jiang Qing'e's had a resolute expression as well. She gritted her teeth, and majestic amounts of light energy shot into the air.

It was like ants attempting to shake a tree. Even though their efforts would be futile, they weren't willing to sit and await death, even if their opponent was someone in a completely different league.

Behind them, the icy Lu Qing'er's Apex Resonance Crystal Core began to release cold energy that was capable of freezing the void. The dusky light had enveloped her as well and thus, she chose to take action. However, their attacks dissipated before they even took shape.

This was because the dusky light was simply too fearsome. The strength it contained was incomprehensible, and even Li Luo's Absolute Resonance Halo was forced to submit before its might. Eventually the Absolute Resonance Halo dimmed and returned back into his body.

Li Luo clenched his teeth, a feeling of powerlessness surging up within him. He truly didn't possess the right to retaliate.

It was almost as though the light was a form of divine judgment that mortals could not resist.

The light's descent might not have looked particularly awe-inspiring, but to Li Luo and the rest, it was the most terrifying thing possible.

Would all things come to an end here? Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes started to glow brilliantly at that moment, and she couldn't help but to stand in front of Li Luo. However, a stream of light shot out from Li Luo's pocket sphere at that moment. It was the ancient plaque that had been engraved with the formidable and impressive character for "Li"! This was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Heavenly Emperor's Writ! When it appeared, a bout of refreshing laughter rang out throughout the world, seemingly from another space!

"Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, you're a Heavenly Emperor and yet you bully the weak. Do you think that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has no one to speak up for him?"

The Heavenly Emperor's Writ shook and a dark gold beams of light radiated from it. The rays of light then intertwined, carving out a rift in the void, and a person strode out of it.

Li Luo looked at who had just appeared. It was a handsome youth with a head of unruly, long hair. Although he looked young, his eyes were deep and filled with wisdom, as though he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. In his hand was a staff with a golden dragon coiled around it. This was not a stranger to Li Luo! This was because years ago, he had encountered this individual at the Fiendish Devil Cave!

This was... Heavenly Emperor Li himself, Li Jun! The ancestor of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li! What he had seen before was merely a strand of his will, but this was his true body! As Li Luo's mind was struck by waves of emotion, Heavenly Emperor Li had already struck downwards with his Golden Coiled Dragon Staff, causing the skies to shatter. If they were not within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, perhaps everything within tens of thousands of miles would have already turned into a bottomless sinkhole! The golden staff filled everyone's vision as it contained unparalleled might, colliding against the dusky light in a domineering fashion.

Bang!

It was impossible to describe the resulting clash. It was as though everything had reverted to a state of primal chaos. Even worldly natural energy was annihilated, turning it into its most basic particles.

When everyone came, the terrifying, dusky light had vanished. Now a handsome youth was standing before Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, wielding his golden staff and standing proudly.

The resulting energy tempest was completely blocked by the youth, ensuring that his progeny wasn't harmed in the slightest.

On top of the black coffin, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's expression had turned sullen. "Heavenly Emperor Li? You dare to leave the World Border? Aren't you afraid that the Empyrean Demon Grand Devil King will take the opportunity to destroy the Realm Wall?"

As it spoke, a roar filled with majestic pressure blasted out of the depths of the rift that Li Jun had walked out of.

The draconic roar possessed a horrifying might that could shake even the heavens and the earth.

When Li Luo heard it, the Heavenly Dragon resonance within him also began to shake! He couldn't help but feel shocked as the only thing that could elicit a reaction from his Heavenly Dragon resonance would be obvious—it had to be an actual Heavenly Dragon!

There was a Heavenly Dragon in the depths of the spatial rift Li Jun had walked out of. Additionally, for some reason, the draconic roar had caused a sense of familiarity to arise within his heart. Just who was it? \\

When the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor heard the roar, its expression distorted and it smirked coldly. "It looks like you've invited your old lover for help so that you could create some space for your true body to leave."

The handsome youth with the staff gave a shallow smile. "The Origin Reversion Institute is like a group of rat shit. Still as disgusting as ever! The Heavenly Emperors on the Realm Wall are constantly defending it against the Other Heavenly Emperors, and pieces of crap like you are bullying the youths. How despicable can you get?"

He shook his head, unwilling to speak further. He then turned and looked at Li Luo with a warm smile. "Little brat, we finally meet face-to-face."
