Chapter 1623: Shen Jinxiao's Third Resonance

Shen Jinxiao's cold laughter reverberated across the skies. His overflowing murderous intent felt tangible, intense enough to cause the void to tremble. The blood sea domain was on the verge of collapsing and was broken in numerous places.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were standing side by side, looking at the blood-red Crown above Shen Jinxiao's head. Although it was incomplete, the pressure it emitted was too oppressive to ignore

Its suppressive effect was powerful enough to affect one's soul. It was truly frightening.

Incredible amounts of source origin energy flowed above the blood-red Crown. There was more than enough power in that tiny space to move mountains and seas.

The duo’s expressions were grim. Shen Jinxiao had merely reached the edge of the King Stage earlier, and there wasn't enough time for him to forge his Crown. However, he had managed to do so right before them.

A King’s Crown provided them with a much keener connection with the world around them. It enabled them to continuously draw worldly natural energy into their bodies, transforming it into unstoppable source origin.

They hadn't expected that Shen Jinxiao would use the pressure of their Transcendent Arts to stimulate his own potential, forcibly forging his Crown in a critical moment! Although it wasn't fully complete, Shen Jinxiao's strength had taken a large leap forward.

"That damned bug is persistent." Li Luo wiped the blood off his lips. Although he hated Shen Jinxiao to the bone and wished to grind him into dust, he had to admit that the fellow was formidable.

He was originally a mere mentor of the Astral Sage College, one without a significant background. Yet he had managed to climb up in the world and reach the King Stage. He had truly left the mentors of the Astral Sage College in the dust.

Although this was only possible because he had committed ruthless, immoral, and unscrupulous sins, the results couldn't be denied. Furthermore, if Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had not interfered with the Astral Sage College, he would have likely subverted the entire place along with the Xia Kingdom to be under the thumb of the Origin Reversion Institute.

"Little Luo, Qing'e, hurry and escape from the domain!" Li Qingpeng shouted. He was currently fighting against a ninth-grade True Devil. He was attempting to make his way towards House Luolan's headquarters but had been bogged down by the innumerable True Devil Others.

His chubby face was smothered with sweat and anxiety. The appearance of an enemy King had clearly caused him to lose his calm. If Li Luo didn't have the assistance of the Heavenly Dragon Formation, he would undoubtedly be in grave danger. If anything happened to him or Jiang Qing'e, Li Qingpeng wouldn't be able to explain himself to Tantai Lan.

The experts of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li were now fervently pushing towards House Luolan's headquarters. Even Li Qingying, who was locked in combat against the Cadaverous King, looked worried. She slowed down the pace of her attacks, just in case she had to provide assistance to Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

The Xia Kingdom didn't hold any meaning to her, and there were literally thousands of such kingdoms under the rule of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. If not for Li Luo's request, they would never have travelled such a long distance to save this remote land. Thus, if the situation took a turn for the worse, she would rather watch the Xia Kingdom burn than allow any harm to fall upon Li Luo or Jiang Qing'e.

The two of them represented the future of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li after all.

"Haha! Do you really think you can escape now?" Shen Jinxiao's merciless laughter echoed out from the collapsing blood sea domain. His eyes were locked onto Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, and his Crown caused endless amounts of source origin energy to descend.

The source origin energy then condensed into three gigantic vortexes behind him, each one pulsating with magnificent and terrifying power. They seemed to be connected to a different world.

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

A titanic demon that was a hundred thousand feet tall stepped out of the first vortex. It was clad in imposing flames so hot, the space around it was distorted. The creature seemed capable of incinerating the world.

This was Shen Jinxiao's Ifrit resonance!

The second vortex was composed of a black aura. Fearsome screams and unsettling whispers came from inside. Countless black silhouettes poured out and merged into one, forming an indescribable black figure.

This was his Heart Devil resonance!

The sound of rushing water could be heard from the last vortex, and a sea of blood poured out from within it.

An overpowering sanguine stench filled the air.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's eyes narrowed. This was the resonance that Shen Jinxiao had obtained from reaching the King Stage.

A blood resonance? As expected, it was a strange one as well.

The blood quickly took the shape of a baby that looked exactly like Shen Jinxiao in his youth.

When one reached the King Stage, they could manifest their resonances’ true forms thanks to the power of source origin.

When the three resonances manifested, the blood sea domain was flooded with Shen Jinxiao's mighty aura. However, some of it leaked, reaching House Luolan's headquarters.

It was so intimidating that even the Others started to scatter in fear.

Jiang Qing'e's golden eyes remained unyielding and combative as she glared at the oppressive figure in the sky. She turned to Li Luo and asked, "What now? Do you have any more trump cards to turn this situation around?"

"What about you?" Li Luo asked quizzically.

Jiang Qing'e's lips curled up into a smirk. "If you don't, I sure do."

Li Luo grinned. "Then let me go first. However, I need your help with it. If it works, I think his plan will fail."

"Oh?" Jiang Qing'e looked a little surprised. Li Luo was still concealing a trump card that could work on a King like Shen Jinxiao?

Although she was taken aback, she stretched her hand out to hold Li Luo's outstretched palm without hesitation. Their fingers interlocked.

"What a pair of desperate lovers. Since I was once your mentor, I'll help you out."

Shen Jinxiao squinted when he saw the two move. His killing intent surged as he was determined to end this feud as soon as possible, before those two little devils did something unexpected. Without further delay, his manifested resonances shot into the air, merging with his incomplete Crown.

Boundless source origin energy descended, causing the void to shatter. A blood-red hand that seemed to belong to a primal beast emerged from the depths of the void. Countless blood-red talismans were attached to the hand, and three black seeds were neatly lined up in its palm, exuding a sinister aura.

The talisman-wrapped blood hand blotted out the sky, radiating immense pressure.

Those outside the domain, like Li Qingpeng and Li Jiluo, looked on in fear. They weren't even in the vicinity of the humongous hand, but its sheer aura unsettled them.

No one could imagine just how much pressure Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were facing right now.

Shen Jinxiao's ferocious expression gradually turned into one of calm. This was the most powerful attack he could muster... the Blood Talisman Extinction Palm.

Bang!

The void shuddered and wailed as the hand pressed down towards the duo.

Li Qingpeng roared as his nine Duke Bergfrieds burst out with incredible resonant power fluctuations, sending the ninth-grade True Devil flying. He then shot forward and rushed towards House Luolan.

Li Qingying sighed, her slender hand lightly pinching the air. A dragonscale shuttle appeared in her hand, surging with astonishing source origin fluctuations.

However, before they were able to rescue the young duo, a clear draconic roar exploded from the blood sea domain.

The two would-be rescuers turned their attention to Li Luo. An ancient golden wheel had appeared out of thin air. It radiated an indescribable aura, and numerous resonances flowed within it, clearly distinct but also blending perfectly with each other.

What was more eye-catching was the golden cauldron sitting in the middle of the wheel. It was emitting mighty source origin fluctuations.

When they looked closer, they could see a glorious divine flame within, enveloping a crystal core.

The Enchanting Fox King's source origin core!
