Chapter 1557: Returning to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li

The two found themselves at the Heavenly Origin Ancient College after using the transportation formation. To their surprise, their appearance immediately elicited a humongous uproar. Countless students and even some of the mentors started respectfully greeting them, eyes filled with respect.

Many younger students were even looking up to them with idolatry and envy.

A tide of greetings for Mentor Li Luo and Mentor Jiang Qing'e echoed throughout the college. The two were completely taken aback by this. They had never received such fanfare before.

Seeing how enthusiastic the students were, they didn't feel that it was right to give them the cold shoulder, so they interacted with them. Alas, they were also unable to move because of the situation. The bright side was that when Vice Principal Qing Man heard of their arrival, she directed the mentors to disperse the excited crowd.

"News of your performance in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda has already spread throughout the colleges of the Academic Federation. As a result, you've become the idol for many students," Vice Principal Qing Man explained. "You two are the most famous people in the Academic Federation at the moment."

Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. That said, he didn't mind the attention. "Vice Principal Qing Man, do you know if the two elders that came with me are still in the college?"

He was referring to Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun. The two of them had protected the duo on the way here and then chose to remain until they returned.

Vice Principal Qing Man shook her head. "About half a year ago, they received summons from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and rushed back. You've secluded yourselves for a little too long."

Li Luo nodded in agreement. He had spent a total of two years in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, which was a bit too long for Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun to remain idle. However, hearing that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had sent summons, didn't that also mean that the situation was getting dire?

"Before they left, they said that you should send them a message so that they could escort you home." Vice Principal Qing Man quickly examined the duo before giving a surprised smile. "However, I have a feeling you don't need their protection now."

Being a Single Crowned King, she could naturally sense the faint resonant power fluctuations coming from them, and it was clear they had far surpassed Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun.

Li Luo nodded again. There was indeed no longer a need for their protection. The two now were strong enough that so long as they did not encounter a King, the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent could be their playground.

"Do you have any information about the Other Disaster surrounding the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, Vice Principal Qing Man?" Li Luo asked.

Vice Principal Qing Man nodded. "We are part of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent and thus, I do have some understanding of the situation. For the past two years, an Other Tide has erupted every half a year, expanding in its influence every direction. This has affected the territories of both the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and Qin. Every time the Other Tide happens, a colossal battle ensues. The bright side is that the Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperor Li and Qin have deep foundations and are thus able to hold on. Alas, some of the smaller powers have been engulfed and annihilated. Looking at the time, another Other Tide should start soon."

Li Luo's gaze turned abstruse. The Other Disaster stemming from the World's End River Region was much more troublesome than the Xia Kingdom's Other Disaster. Although there were multiple Kings watching over the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, the source of the Other Disaster was the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus Grand Devil King, a supreme Heavenly Emperor that had laid down a Heavenly Emperor Edict onto the black waters that flooded the land.

"Kings May Not Enter!" This meant that regardless whether it was the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li or the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, their King Stage experts could not enter the area subsumed by the Other Tide. As a result, it was exceedingly difficult to resolve the problem at its source. Over time, it would gradually erode away at the Heavenly Emperor powers' foundation and lead to a much graver impact.

"Since that is the case, we won't stick around for much longer."

Time was of the essence, and Li Luo didn't plan to lounge around the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. He quickly thanked Vice Principal Qing Man for the information before he and Jiang Qing'e shot off, leaving behind trails of light that elicited looks of awe from the students.

......

The duo rushed at full speed in the direction of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. They went through several teleportation formations and arrived within their territory after seven days. Their destination was Godriver City. It was located in the most important region of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li and a large number of their forces were stationed there. Even Tantai Lan spent long periods of time watching over it.

The two swiftly dashed through the skies without pause.

Their gazes were solemn as they observed the ground beneath them. They could see that above the vast, steep mountain ranges, black rain swept through the skies, forming inky black streams resembling violent pythons that meandered in every direction. Eventually, the streams continued to converge, forming larger rivers akin to winding dragons, wreaking havoc throughout the area. An endless number of twisted and strange Others crawled out from the waters, dispersing everywhere.

Wherever they passed through, they left behind a trail of destruction and death.

Countless lives had been devoured by these monsters.

They also spotted numerous cities and sects along the way, none related to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, which had been drowned by the Other Tide.

The closer they got to Godriver City's defensive perimeter, the more intense the fighting became.

Countless resonant power beams pierced through the mountains, condensing into bands of light that collided against the darkness. Cries of slaughter and pain intermingled with the unnerving cries of the strange creatures like the wails of a death god.

Li Luo could see many squads and experts belonging to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

There were even members of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Guardian Armies.

They were split into groups of a hundred, joining hands to slaughter True Devil Others.

Alas, the battle was brutal and there was a never-ending flood of True Devils, bringing about great pressure to these squads.

Whenever Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e saw this, they would often lend a hand, but the front lines were stretched across a large area and they could only relieve the pressure on a small scale.

Bang!

Suddenly, the duo turned their heads towards the depths of a pitch-black forest. There were two mighty sources of corruption in the darkness, and they could sense that the corruption belonged to eighth-grade True Devils.

Additionally, they could sense many familiar resonant power undulations coming from there as well.
