Chapter 1751: Fist Descends From the Heavens

Weng!

The immense sword formation rumbled. Eight Dragon Fang Swords could be seen within it, each releasing unlimited amounts of destructive sword energy. The formation was countless times more frightening than before, as it now carried the aura of Authority. Even a Supreme Triple Crowned King and their source origin would be ground into dust if they were struck by it.

The dark and profound sword energy continued to condense and intertwine within the sword formation. In the end, a low boom echoed. Then the vast sword energy vanished, transforming into a single black thunderbolt. The stygian thunderbolt didn't crackle violently. Instead, it looked quite reserved, slowly swimming within the sword formation, like gentle rippling waves.

The expressionless Li Lingjing's vortex-like eyes rippled slightly upon seeing it. Clearly, Li Luo's killing move was a threat to her.

Li Luo observed the majestic stygian thunderbolt. Even Ancestor Li Jun had not managed to bring the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation to such a level, with eight Dragon Fang Swords. The Embryonic Transcendent Art had already surpassed many true Transcendent Arts at this point.

"Go," he said, his expression calm as he pointed out with his finger. After which, the stygian thunderbolt flew out. It was akin to an apocalyptic beast opening up its maw, obliterating everything in its path and devouring a huge chunk of the sky along with many celestial bodies.

This terrifying attack caused all of the experts in combat on the Heavenly Star Plains to pause and raise their heads momentarily, watching the stygian thunderbolt noiselessly arc through the sky, leaving nothing in its wake. It was as though a god was delivering its judgment on the mortals below. Fortunately, it was targeting Li Lingjing instead of them.

No one could hide from the Punishment of Gods, and Li Lingjing didn't plan to dodge. Her enchanting features were filled with indifference as she raised her hand, condensing a black orb of light within her palm. It then floated into the sky.

The black orb instantly expanded, transforming into a gigantic black parasol. Atop the parasol were countless runes, with strings of black beads hanging down from each outstretched spoke. Each and every bead emanated the majestic power of Authority.

The parasol slowly started to change. Its surface began to ripple, emitting waves of Extinction Authority. It seemed like an impenetrable barrier. Li Lingjing's red lips parted slightly as she indifferently said, "Heavenly Asura's Extinction Parasol."

It was at this moment that the Punishment of Gods collided with the gigantic Heavenly Asura's Extinction Parasol. The terrifying attacks created with Authority had collided gloriously, but barely anything could be heard. Even so, everyone could feel the sensations that arose from the clash. It was as though all of the worldly natural energy on the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent had been riled up.

Gigantic energy waves propagated out in every direction, with the Heavenly Star Plains as the center. These shockwaves could be felt across all of the divine continents! This exchange occurred in the blink of an eye, but also seemed to last forever.

After some time, the black parasol started to crack in certain areas. A moment later, the cracks rapidly expanded, and the parasol looked as though it was on the brink of falling apart.

Bang!

The Heavenly Asura's Extinction Parasol shattered and the greatly weakened Punishment of Gods continued to fly forwards towards Li Lingjing. However, the area around her was a domain created with her Authority of Extinction. Even though the Punishment of Gods was overbearing and incredibly sharp, it was continually weakened as it approached her. In the end, only a small wisp of stygian thunder remained when it was an inch from hitting her.

Li Lingjing reached out with her pale hand, clamping onto that final shred. With a light pinch, it completely collapsed. However, a shallow bloody mark was left behind.

When Li Luo saw this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Authority of Extinction was indeed impressive—not even his Eight Dragon Fangs were able to overcome it. He had accomplished nothing in this confrontation.

What made him feel truly disheartened was that he was unable to extricate himself from this situation. The other side of the battlefield was also taking a turn for the worse.

Even if Qing'e, Jiang Qing'e, and Zhen Linshuang gave it their all, they couldn't possibly stop the Slaughter Devil King of Sin. Although their battle had just started, all three of them were already riddled with injuries.

Bang!

At this moment, more and more energy from the withering glory resonance started to surge out of the Spiritual Resonance Cave. The spatial rifts around it started to expand, destroying the formation that previously concealed it. As a result, everyone could see it more clearly.

The Slaughter Devil King of Sin let out an avaricious roar as Slaughter Authority energy swept out of it, causing the trio who were facing it to retreat. It then shot forward in a beam of bloody light, planning to enter the Spiritual Resonance Cave to seize the withering glory resonance now that it was no longer entangled with its enemies.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the divine continents once again fell into despair. The most critical moment had arrived, but all of the divine continents' trump cards had already been unveiled. What else could they do to stop it?

Li Luo attempted to free himself from Li Lingjing, but she stuck to him like a shadow, her Extinction Authority energy blocking all of his attacks. "Does the Origin Reversion Institute plan to let the withering glory resonance fall into the hands of the Shadow World?" he asked gloomily.

The Origin Reversion Institute had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Shadow World, but in this case, wouldn't it make sense for them to prioritize their own interests?

Li Lingjing did not reply. Her vortex-like eyes remained unchanging as though she was no more than a mere puppet. Meanwhile, the Slaughter Devil King of Sin quickly approached the Spiritual Resonance Cave before the despondent eyes of the crowd.

"The withering glory resonance will belong to the Shadow World!" the Slaughter Devil King of Sin roared.

However, just as it was about to reach the Spiritual Resonance Cave, the sky above it suddenly collapsed. It was as though a spatial tunnel from another location had been connected there.

As the spatial fragments fell, a shocking draconic roar thundered through the sky. The roar carried an incredibly oppressive aura. That was the aura of a Heavenly Dragon!

Zhen Linshuang raised her head in surprise. The sheer purity of this Heavenly Dragon's bloodline was equal to hers. Just who was it? The Heavenly Dragon Tribe's Heavenly Emperor? Wasn't it impossible for Heavenly Emperors to descend?

Roar!

As everyone watched in surprise, violet-gold light swept out of the spatial channel. A moment later, a violet-gold dragon seal containing a vast and magnificent Authority crashed down. A loud shout that echoed through the sky accompanied this attack. "Transcendent Art, Imperial Heavenly Dragon Fist!"

Bang!

The tyrannical violet-gold dragon seal fell from the sky like a meteor, crushing the void with invincible force. It smashed apart the Slaughter Authority wrapped around the Slaughter Devil King of Sin.

Bang!

Layers of the void instantly collapsed. The Slaughter Devil King of Sin was sent flying for tens of thousands miles, sonic booms erupting in its wake.

This sudden change left everyone completely startled, even Li Luo. Who was that? How could this individual have sent the Slaughter Devil King of Sin flying? How had the divine continents kept someone so powerful hidden?

At the other end of the spatial channel, a violet-gold radiance bloomed and then dissipated. A tall figure walked out slowly, each step causing the void to tremble. He then stood in the sky above the Heavenly Star Plains.

Everyone's eyes were drawn towards the newcomer. Li Luo had a dumbfounded expression when he saw who it was. As he stood in a daze, that noble figure was looking right at him. He let out a hearty laugh that resounded between the heavens and the earth. "Haha, my good son. It's been many years. Do you not recognize your most respected father?"

Li Luo's eyes widened. "Dad?" Li Taixuan had returned!
