Chapter 1769: Thunder Heavenly Dragon Authority

Ten resonances had come together to form an utterly intimidating Heavenly Dragon. The pressure that it gave off was terrifying, despite it merely sitting at the top of the staircase. Its icy glare was fully focused on Li Luo. Its killing intent was so intense that it was effectively solid, pricking Li Luo's body and causing him to feel a piercing pain deep in his bones.

"Son of a gun!" Li Luo felt heartbroken when faced with the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor Demon. He felt as though his own child, after being fawned over for years, was turning against him at the most crucial moment. What was he going to do? It was time to use the stick and impart some tough love.

Roar!

As Li Luo's eyes glinted with ferocity, the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor Demon unceremoniously launched its own attack. It opened its bottomless mouth, spewing out immense amounts of wind-element dragonbreath. In the blink of an eye, the torrent of doom ripped through the air, blasting towards Li Luo with an incredibly sharp energy.

Li Luo's eyes narrowed as his Transcendent Heavenly Throne pressed downwards like a golden pillar capable of propping up the sky, blocking the attack.

Boom!

Upon collision, the Transcendent Heavenly Throne began to shake violently and the void collapsed. Unfortunately, it was knocked backwards!

Li Luo sighed in his heart. From this probing clash, the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor Demon was no weaker than an actual Heavenly Emperor. He exhaled deeply. This opponent was going to be a thorny one.

The mysterious Absolute Resonance Halo manifested behind him and spun with a glorious roar, his five resonant palaces shining with majestic light. His ten resonances then fused together. In the end, he chose to transform them into a supreme ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to use his other resonances, it was just that the Heavenly Dragon resonance possessed tyrannical power in battle and made his body much more durable. Therefore, it had the perfect combination of both offense and defense. Furthermore, the Transcendent Arts that Li Luo had mastered largely revolved around the user's dragon resonance.

Next, the Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority appeared between his eyebrows, with a Heavenly Dragon coiled atop its crown. He then formed a two-handed seal.

"The resonance gives birth to divinity, allowing one to grasp Authority. Transcendent divine energy then further elevates the resonance into divinity itself!"

This was what Li Taixuan had said before.

The Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority between his eyebrows began to burn, transforming into vast amounts of divine energy. The divine energy then rushed into his Heavenly Dragon resonance's resonant palace.

Inside the resonant palace, the gigantic Heavenly Dragon greedily inhaled the divine energy. It then began to shrink, eventually turning into a violet-gold orb emanating unparalleled power. Within the orb was a man sitting cross-legged. He looked identical to Li Luo, with a Heavenly Dragon wrapped around his body. The divine might radiating from the miniature Li Luo was imposing enough to instill a sense of awe in anyone who laid eyes on him.

This was Heavenly Dragon Authority!

But that was not all. Within the divine orb were traces of rumbling violet thunder. Countless thunderbolts fell from the sky, swamping the earth. The violet thunder also contained a trace amount of Authority. Although it was not as overbearing as the Heavenly Dragon Authority, it was still the Thunder Authority! Thus, Li Luo possessed two Authorities.

This had happened because his resonant palace contained two resonances. After the Heavenly Dragon Authority was formed, the Thunder Authority was produced as well. The only difference was that because the Thunder Authority was from a supplementary resonance, it was far weaker than the main one.

Since Li Luo had reached the peak of the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage, he could naturally accomplish what Li Taixuan had demonstrated years ago. He could use Transcendent divine energy to condense a single Authority. However, his father did not possess a supreme ninth-grade resonance and thus could only temporarily wield this power.

Li Luo was different—he could borrow the aid of the Absolute Resonance Halo to create a supreme ninth-grade resonance, and so long as he was willing, he could maintain this state for a long time! Thus, Li Luo was as powerful as a true Heavenly Emperor with a single Authority, a single Law!

The formation of the Thunder Heavenly Dragon Authority also caused Li Luo's body to transform. He was already tall, but he became taller and taller, reaching over a hundred feet in height. His skin glistened with an indestructible golden hue as well, every inch of it covered in ancient runes.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dragon Authority surged, condensing into a life-like Heavenly Dragon beside him, as though it was his personal protector. This Heavenly Dragon then coiled around his body, its head perched on his shoulder as Authority flowed with every breath it took.

Meanwhile, the violet thunder energy crackled, turning into a robe that covered his body. Whenever the lightning pulsed, it gave off a startling divine aura.

Li Luo now resembled a dragon god who controlled thunder!

Finally, he stretched his arm out, and a mottled blade appeared in his hand. It was the Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade! Over the years, he had tempered it with the flames of the cauldron inside the Absolute Resonance Halo. With the Greater Void Resonance Flame constantly refining it, its strength had also taken a leap forward.

Li Luo's expression was sharp. With a thought, his Transcendent Heavenly Throne vanished, no longer protecting him. At that moment, the wind dragonbreath that ravaged the air swept towards him from every direction.

He took a step forward while hacking downwards with his sword. A shocking roar accompanied by the detonation of thunder echoed when the dazzling blade of violet energy sliced forward, leaving black marks in its path. The fiendish winds that blew towards him were completely crushed.

Afterwards, Li Luo pointed his sword directly towards the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon at the top of the stairway provocatively. He did not relax despite easily resolving the wind attack. In fact, his expression grew even more solemn, as he could feel his instincts screaming that the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon was beyond dangerous.

Whoosh!

Li Luo shot forward like a bolt of lightning, rushing up the steps. The Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon unleashed a barrage of attacks that blotted out the skies and the earth, containing all of the power of the ten resonances, attempting to stop Li Luo.

However, with the Thunder Heavenly Dragon Authority, Li Luo's strength was also terrifying. Even though the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon was comparable to a Heavenly Emperor, it couldn't stop him.

Countless rays of blade energy flew upwards, accompanied by the roars of thunder and dragons. Every attack preventing Li Luo from climbing was utterly crushed.

In the next instant, he reached the top of the stairway, coming face-to-face with the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon. Blade energy flickered past, and the massive dragon's head was chopped off. As it fell, it dissipated into an infinite number of energy motes.

Yet it was at this moment that the perilous sensation Li Luo felt from the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon reached a critical point!

Its gigantic body began to shrink at a surprising speed. A few moments later, the body had completely vanished, leaving behind a single orb of light. It was only the size of a human's head, but its exterior was covered with innumerable obscure runes. Inside the orb were ten different types of resonances, frantically fusing in a berserk way as they continuously crashed into each other. This was no simple fusion—it was as though they were attempting to evolve qualitatively!

The orb started giving off even more terrifying fluctuations. It was akin to a black hole flowing with a myriad of colors, causing the space around it to collapse.

Li Luo's eyes shrank. The beautiful orb was the source of the danger he had sensed. More importantly, it seemed as though more than a single type of Authority was clashing within the orb. This was the final move of the Ten Resonances Heavenly Emperor's Demon, an attack that was guaranteed to destroy its enemies.

Facing the horrifying bomb, Li Luo caught a whiff of the stench of death approaching.

Bang!

His expression turned heavy when the colorful orb detonated. Its destructive power swept towards him without pause.
