Chapter 1633: Perfect Absolute Resonance Halo

Weng!

As the archaic golden wheel turned, it let out a mysterious roar along with a flood of boundless resonant power. All of that energy flowed through the six Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds and condensed into gorgeous, colorful drops of liquid.

Each drop radiated all sorts of resonant power undulations, with eight different types. They were distinct from each other and yet blended together harmoniously, forming something that resembled a minor world encapsulated in every drop. This was the result of Li Luo's eight resonances.

More and more resonant power liquid condensed, forming an energy lake that kicked up with humongous waves. A Duke Bergfried was gradually materializing in the midst of it all.

However, its outline was blurry and it seemed incapable of progressing further.

Li Luo's expression was icy as he roused all of the resonant power in his body, attempting to forcefully forge his seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried. It was at this point that he realized how difficult and arduous of a feat this was. As he lacked the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill, the difficulty of forming it had skyrocketed.

He couldn't even condense the embryonic form.

This disturbance did not go unnoticed by the Saturnine Hydra Devil King. It was first taken aback by Li Luo's decisive actions, but now it realized that he simply couldn't form the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried!

It then remembered something, and it let out a low, rumbling laugh. "So this is why... You require the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill!"

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King was nearly a peak-level being of the Shadow World; merely one more step in its cultivation would make it a Grand Devil King. Thus, it was privy to some of the secrets that had been lost in the long river of time. This also included information on the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill.

From what it saw, Li Luo was fundamentally unable to form the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried and enter the Transcendent Duke Stage.

With that in mind, it disregarded Li Luo and concentrated on suppressing the Transcendent Tribulation on Jiang Qing'e's side, cutting off her Path of Ascension.

Li Luo's eyes were now bloodshot as he continued to struggle with the task. Advancing by force was simply impossible.

After all, this was the most ideal route one could take on the road of cultivation. Proof of that was the fact that it had been devised by generations of Heavenly Emperor cultivators from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect.

Even so, Li Luo didn't plan to give up here.

"So what if it's hard? I started with a blank palace and crawled my way here. Now that I have eight resonances and a robust foundation, I’m sure I can find a way!"

Li Luo shouted in his heart.

Four resonant palaces appeared in different spots on the rim of the golden wheel, letting out a thunderous explosion.

Upper ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance!

Middle ninth-grade ice crystal resonance!

Lower ninth-grade, waterlight resonance!

Lower ninth-grade woodearth resonance!

Li Luo had released them all! Nigh infinite amounts of resonant power rays surged out of each resonance, illuminating the entire wheel and forming ancient runes on it.

It was at this point that Li Luo was struck by a sudden realization. The Absolute Resonance Halo was simply incomplete, and the function of the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill was to allow it to reach completion while forging the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried. That was the only way that someone walking his path could take this crucial step forward.

"I have four palaces and eight resonances, and all of them are at the ninth-grade. That puts me far above most people! If I don't have the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill, I can rely on my potential to make a breakthrough!"

His Apex Resonance Crystal Core shone with scintillating light and the projection a Heavenly Dragon appeared, letting out an earth-shaking roar. At the same time, runic patterns covered its scales. These were the Archaic Runes formed by the middle ninth-grade ice crystal resonance.

The lower ninth-grade waterlight resonance and woodearth resonance transformed into spirit avatars that shrank down into starry symbols that imprinted themselves onto the Crystal Core.

He could sense his body reaching its peak condition. All eight resonances seemed to have ignited, and their resonant power was boiling over. At this moment, he was engulfed in silence. The only thing he could perceive was the Absolute Resonance Halo, and it was turning slowly.

The eight resonances let out light that wrapped around the Absolute Resonance Halo. With each revolution, the wheel became ever more majestic and closer to perfection. Countless divine golden runes forming a holy document materialized, each and every sentence a product of the life-long research and deductions made by the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Heavenly Emperors.

It was obscure, abstruse, and ancient.

"This is still not enough!"

Li Luo observed the Absolute Resonance Halo, unhappy with the speed of change. He had entered the state he was in by stimulating his potential and igniting his resonances. If he took too long, his mind would return to normal and his resonances would be greatly damaged.

His eyes focused and he turned his attention to the Enchanting Fox King's remnant source origin core. It was still in the golden cauldron within the Absolute Resonance Halo, constantly being refined by Greater Void Resonance Flames. The core contained immense amounts of corruption source origin... though it had a frightening corrosive effect.

Although it was dangerous, it would serve as a great boon for him if it could be fully utilized.

Li Luo thus took in a deep breath and pushed the Greater Void Resonance Flame to its limit, planning to completely refine the source origin core into something that could help him. The ear-rending howl of a fox could be heard when this happened. Its voice was filled with corruption that affected Li Luo's spirit. Even so, he remained steadfast and composed, revealing no change in his emotion.

Fortunately, the source origin core had already been refined for many days and nights at this point, so the threat it posed had dulled like a worn blade.

Bang!

𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The source origin core cracked apart, causing a tide of source origin energy to gush out. Li Luo guided it with the Greater Void Resonance Flame, directing it into the Absolute Resonance Halo.

Being infused with so much source origin energy made him feel like he was had unlimited power. Archaic runic patterns continued to be engraved on the Absolute Resonance Halo, getting it closer and closer to perfection. However, Li Luo was being disturbed by endless strange whispers and murmurs deep within his heart that caused his mind to blur.

Twisted and distorted figures started to appear on the Absolute Resonance Halo, crawling all over the object and corrupting it. This corruption had been waiting to run rampant for days.

Even so, Li Luo remained unfazed. With a thought, he made the Thunder Dragon resonance on the wheel let out heaven-shaking roars. It surged with violet-gold light. Soon after, a Heavenly Dragon emerged from the resonant palace, wrapped in thunderclouds.

The other resonances in the resonant palaces came to life as well. The waterlight resonance caused a brilliant and shining river to rise, wrapping around the body of the Heavenly Dragon.

Meanwhile, the woodearth resonance transformed into runes that adorned its scales.

The ice crystal resonance condensed within its eyes, giving them a radiant starry glitter.

Roar!

A torrent of boundless dragonbreath was spewed out, purifying the Absolute Resonance Halo.

This move was the culmination of Li Luo's efforts and potential. Wherever it passed through, the corruption source origin was destroyed. At the same time, the runic patterns were cleansed.

Ring!

At this point in time, an ancient hymn started to echo in the vicinity. The energy lake above Li Luo started to rage, giving rise to huge waves. The seventh Duke Bergfried started to condense at that moment!

Although it was blurry, it had undoubtedly started to take an embryonic form.

The Devil King was shocked to see this.

“Has that brat managed to force his Bergfried to the embryonic form without the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill?

......

Meanwhile, within House Luolan's old manor.

A rare look of surprise appeared on Bai Mengmeng's vacant face as she muttered, "He actually managed to complete ninety percent of the Absolute Resonance Halo by force with nothing but his potential and foundation. That fellow is truly reckless. However, he won’t go any further. Bridging that final gap is impossible without the Myriad Resonances Golden Pill. Creating an imperfect Duke Bergfried will prevent the Absolute Resonance Halo from reaching perfection, and that defect will bring him trouble in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, a wave of emotion surged in her eyes.

A familiar and worried voice cried, "Please help the Squad Leader!"
