Chapter 1584: Sword Prison Suppresses The Skeleton!

The vast Sword Prison pressed down like a black hole, filled with indescribably sharp sword energy that took the form of dragons and swords scuttling around within it. When worldly natural energy was sucked into it, the energy would be shredded into its most primordial form, turning into specks of loose energy that would dissipate into space.

This was the first time Li Luo had ever reached the Five Dragon Fangs Realm with the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

The fifth Dragon Fang Sword was created with earth resonant power fused with dragon resonant power to form the Earth Dragon Fang Sword. Strictly speaking, it was only now that the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation had entered the threshold of a Transcendent-grade Duke Art. The art was modelled around a dragon's fang, which was the sharpest and most lethal part of a dragon's body. Thus, by further augmenting it with sword intent, its sharpness would be capable of piercing through anything in the world. The Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation had finally revealed its might to the world! The colossal Sword Prison was reflected in Li Luo's violet-gold pupils, and his heart trembled. Although he could also wield the Twelve Winged Seraphim's Sword Dance, he still preferred this particular Transcendent Art as it was something that had accompanied him over the years. It was extremely compatible with his Absolute Resonance Seed, and the Five Dragon Fangs Realm was not its limit.

He now had eight resonances, and if he added on a Crystal and Ice Dragon Fang Sword, he would reach the Seven Dragon Fangs Realm. At that point, the sword formation would reach a terrifying level that would surpass even his Ancestor Li Jun's expectations. Thus, the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation still had plenty of room to grow. As Li Luo was thinking of all this, the Oblivion Origin Sword Prison had collided with the sky-covering skeletal hand. Countless strange and bloody runes were flickering across the skeletal hand's surface, each resembling a pained and tortured human visage.

In an instant, the Sword Prison, which possessed sword energy capable of cutting through anything, burst out with streams of energy that resembled lively raging dragons swimming outwards.

It was akin to a gigantic millstone of doom, the sword energy crushing and destroying everything in its wake.

Deep cracks immediately appeared in the skeletal hand, which was as smooth as a mirror's surface.

Even the corruption that surrounded it was not spared, being purged from existence by the domineering sword energy.

Boom!

In the end, the skeletal hand reached its limit and the numerous runes on it let out tortured screeches before the entire limb exploded.

The attack from the Skeleton Pagoda, which was comparable to a False King's attack, had been crushed by Li Luo's Oblivion Origin Sword Prison. Li Luo let out a heaven-shaking roar and without further hesitation, the Oblivion Origin Sword Prison turned into a torrent of sword energy that poured down upon the pagoda.

Bang!

As the terrifying sword energy rained down, countless large chasms were carved through the land and some of the mountains were flattened. Meanwhile, the skeletons that surrounded the pagoda wailed as they were ground into ashes by the sword energy.

Roar!

A roar filled with rage echoed out from within the pagoda as a gigantic figure walked out from the pile of destroyed bones. It was a bloated giant tens of meters tall. On its body were ten humans with distorted expressions of pain, which were terrifying to look out.

Immense corruption fluctuations rolled off its body.

"A creature that has yet to reach the False King Stage."

When Li Luo saw this, he no longer hesitated. This seemed to be the second False King that was gestating within the pagoda. It was a pity the process had been interrupted and the final fusion hadn't succeeded. Currently, the creature was at the level of a ninth-grade True Devil, but because it had fused with quite a few Others, it was still very strong, though its strength felt a little disjointed.

With a thought, the Oblivion Origin Sword Prison directly enveloped the bloated Other, and sword energy danced around it. The Other attempted to resist, bursting out with waves of corruption, but the Sword Prison was simply too overbearing. In just a short amount of time, it ripped the Other to shreds. The soon-to-be second False King had fallen to Li Luo.

Now that both had been destroyed, the Stygian Rain that blanketed the skies began to disperse.

This change was clearly sensed by the soldiers of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, and they let out excited cheers as the pressure was lifted.

Tantai Lan, Li Tianji, and Li Qingying's expressions gradually relaxed and looks of joy appeared in their eyes.

"Good. As expected of the sixth Lineage Chief. The young truly will inherit the world, and they should take the credit this time," Li Tianji happily said.

Tantai Lan pouted. "What's the point of saying that? If they've contributed appropriately, then you should just reward them aptly."

Li Tianji grinned. "What do you suggest we do for them, Lineage Chief Tantai?"

She stuck her hands into her pockets and slowly said, "Doesn't the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li have a Dragon Sacred Seed? Why not give it to Li Luo? You should possess a Transcendent Art as well, right? Let him take a look at it."

Li Tianji's elderly face stiffened. Tantai Lan's appetite was extremely large. Both the Dragon Sacred Seed and the Transcendent Art...?

If it were in the past, he would have come up with a hundred and one reasons to reject her. However, thinking of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's current status and future potential, he fell silent and contemplated the matter seriously.

"Lineage Chief Tantai, can rest assured. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e are closely related to the future prosperity of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, so we won't treat them unfairly."

Tantai Lan glanced at Li Tianji briefly, her heart filled with surprise. She had casually made a huge request, expecting a counter argument from the Mountain Ruling Chief. However, he had no objected at all—he had actually agreed! His change in attitude was very quick, and even she felt respect for the old fox. Although she didn't like Li Tianji, considering what happened all those years ago, she couldn't deny that this fellow was far better than Qin Jiujie and Qin Zhongyuan from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin at handling matters. It was no wonder he had obtained Heavenly Emperor Li's trust, allowing the Ancestor to feel at ease despite being gone for a hundred years.

"The Stygian Rain has receded, so it's time for us to take action and end this Other Disaster." Li Tianji then raised his head and glanced at the retreating black clouds with a look of relief.

At the same time, Li Luo was currently coiled up in the sky above the ruined Stygian Rain Core Platform. When he raised his head, he glanced high into the void and could see a spatial rift that led to a familiar place: the World's End River Region.

He was also able to see the ominous Blood Bridge where a mottled stone tablet was clear for all to see.

On it were five bloody words.

"True Kings May Not Enter?"

Li Luo was a little taken aback. As expected, the Heavenly Emperor's Edict had undergone a transformation and thus, False Kings were capable of existing here.

However, how had this happened? The Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus couldn't have possibly done it, could it? Otherwise, it would have done so long ago instead of waiting till the situation deteriorated. A sense of unease and suspicion arose in his heart.

As Li Luo remained coiled in the sky, within the dark bottomless pit in the World's End River Region, Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King both frowned. "Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e are a little too troublesome. They managed to defeat a False King. Even normal sixth-grade Transcendents aren't as monstrous as they are," the Spirit Eye Underworld King said.

"Ordinary sixth-grade Transcendents might not be this capable, but if they have either the Absolute Resonance Seed or the Genesis Seed, they would indeed be exceptional," Qin Jiujie commented. "As I said, these two individuals will be troublesome to deal with. The Origin Reversion Institute should quickly get rid of them."

The Spirit Eye Underworld King didn't respond but instead changed the subject. "Never mind them, the Life Fruits are almost ripe, so let's prepare to harvest them."

After which, he turned around. A huge commotion was taking place in the dark abyss behind them. An incredible amount of life force was gathering underneath the cover of corruption.

In the end, a single golden fruit was formed. This fruit was filled with incredible mysteries, its surface overflowing with vitality. A nebula-like halo surrounded it, and it seemed to contain a world of both life and death as creatures lived and died within.

However, just as the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie were appreciating the sight of the Life Fruit being formed, the entire abyss started to shake. Boundless amounts of sword energy poured down from above, through the rift connecting the other side with the World's End River Region.

The Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie's gazes turned gloomy and they looked over to see what was going on. They came face-to-face with gigantic head belonging to a Heavenly Dragon, spitting out torrents of dragonbreath and destroying everything present. When the two sides exchanged glances, Li Luo's surprised voice boomed out.

"The Origin Reversion Institute? As expected. Who else would be causing trouble from the shadows?"
