Chapter 1786: Divinity Shooting Chariot, Snake Vessel

The void shattered layer by layer when the imposing and magnificent sword formation appeared. The sword energy it released was incomparably sharp, as though nothing in the world could stand before it. This was the Ten Dragon Fang Swords Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

With Li Luo's twelve resonances and four Authorities, the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation's power had far surpassed anything Li Jun had ever envisioned—it had reached the absolute pinnacle of Transcendent Arts.

Unbelievable amounts of tenebrous sword energy filled the universe, eventually condensing into a gigantic divine chariot hundreds of thousands of feet long with a crossbow on it. The crossbow chariot flowed with dusky godly light, shaped like a Heavenly Dragon that had been stretched to its limit. At the tip was a Heavenly Dragon's open maw, its interior akin to a bottomless abyss. There were ten dragon fang swords resembling teeth inside it, each with its own unique resonant power. A destructive power that caused the void to continuously collapse brewed deep within the dragon's mouth.

The living creatures below all stared at the Divinity Shooting Chariot, feeling a deep sense of fear that originated from their very souls. This was because the pressure coming from it was so terrifying that it seemed capable of destroying the world.

As Li Luo carefully observed the apocalyptic crossbow, his eyes rippled slightly. This Embryonic Transcendent Art had accompanied him for countless years, and it had finally reached perfection. He sighed in his heart emotionally, but then he pushed those thoughts away. Focusing on the battle, he formed another hand seal and directed the Divinity Shooting Chariot to act.

A fearsome explosion echoed throughout every corner of the East Divine Continent. The power of Authority violently condensed within the mouth of the dragon crossbow, finally shooting out a single shot, which was accompanied by a roar.

The entire sky darkened at that moment. The arrow of dark energy seemed capable of transcending both space and time, rendering any distance between it and its target meaningless, ensuring that one could never escape it.

Li Luo had gone all-out, launching two killing blows in rapid succession. The Twelve Resonances Genesis Dragon applied pressure from above while the divine chariot's arrow would strike frontally, preventing the target from hiding.

Awe, respect, and hope filled the hearts of the living who were watching the battle unfold.

When faced with Li Luo's all-out attack, Nine Snakes' expression grew solemn. It could sense that it was in danger and that it needed to deal with this situation appropriately.

"As expected of the Absolute Resonance Seed," it muttered.

It then opened up its mouth, which started to rapidly expand, even causing its own face to rip apart. A crimson snake tongue revealed itself, pulling out something from the depths of its throat—a scarlet jade box.

The box was engraved with countless sanguine seals that continuously squirmed. If one were to look more closely, each and every seal was formed from countless piles of flesh and blood, all emitting desperate cries.

Nine Snakes casually flung the scarlet jade box out, causing it to open up. Massive amounts of foul-smelling flesh and blood squirmed and writhed inside. The box then transformed into a cave made of the same material, and it took the dangerous divine chariot's arrow head-first.

Whoosh!

The fleshy cave devoured the arrow of light. Nine Snakes' Divine Fruit Authority acted like a millstone, grinding the Authority contained within the arrow into miniscule motes of light. The scarlet jade box shuddered violently, its surface starting to show signs of cracking.

Meanwhile, the Twelve Resonances Genesis Dragon was being dealt with by the nine blood serpents behind Nine Snakes. Each serpent spat out a river of blood that reeked with a sanguine stench, crashing directly into the dragonbreath. Both attacks continuously eroded away at each other, attempting to gain the upper hand. However, the blood river had a frightful ability to corrupt, attempting to convert the Twelve Resonances Genesis Dragon into a devilish creature.

It was at this moment that Nine Snakes revealed the terrifying prowess of a Divine Fruit Grand Devil King. Even though Li Luo had unleashed his full power, his attacks had been completely blocked.

Bang!

Weng!

When he saw this, he didn't hesitate to activate the Absolute Resonance Halo. Twelve types of resonant power were activated, sucking in tremendous amounts of worldly natural energy. After which, his four Authorities began to transform and their energy was poured into the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation.

The Divinity Shooting Chariot let out a heaven-shaking boom, accompanied by a series of draconic roars as it launched seven destructive arrows that pierced through the sky. They were like seven meteors closing in on the same target.

Nine Snakes coldly smirked as the flesh and blood cave writhed even more berserkly. It then completely devoured all seven arrows.

Bang!

The scarlet jade box started to shake violently as well. In the end, an ear-grating screech came from the box. It was now covered in countless deep cracks, as though it was on the brink of falling apart.

When Nine Snakes saw this, its expression turned gloomy. It had taken significant amounts of time and effort to craft the scarlet box, using billions of creatures worth of flesh and blood. It was supposed to be able to swallow anything, and even a Heavenly Emperor would find it difficult to escape from it. Alas, it had been critically damaged by Li Luo.

Even so, Nine Snakes remained nonplussed. The Flesh Devil Case had been damaged, but Li Luo's supreme attack had been resolved, also consuming a large amount of his power of Authority.

Battles between Heavenly Emperor-level beings were rarely resolved quickly. Every single one of them possessed incredible amounts of life force, and from a certain point of view, their bodies were indestructible. Only the long passage of time would gradually wear them down. Thus, even Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors wouldn't find it easy to kill an ordinary Heavenly Emperor with one Authority. More often than not, the method to deal with them was to seal them and suppress them over a period of time, exhausting them of their Authority before eradicating them.

Now that Li Luo had launched his offensive, it was the best time to counterattack and apply pressure on him. With that in mind, Nine Snakes smirked, glaring at the solemn Li Luo. The sword formation behind the latter was gradually dissipating as the Divinity Shooting Chariot was out of energy after shooting out eight calamitous arrows.

When Li Luo saw Nine Snakes's gloomy and murderous eyes, his entire body stiffened as an indescribable sense of oppression descended on him. He stretched his hand out, making the Twelve Resonances Devil Punishment Blade return to his grasp.

After which, he felt as though the world was turning dark; the space he was in was beginning to tear apart, separating him from this layer of the void. When his gaze swept across the void, he could see a titanic phantom swimming through space. It was a blood serpent that was so large, he couldn't see either end.

It had an endlessly long body, continuously coiling around him, as though transforming into a blood-red pot. Within the vessel were billions of snake heads, all staring mercilessly as they spat out a sticky blood fog. When the blood fog touched him, he could feel his Light Authority start to erode away.

"This is... a Divine Fruit Domain!"

When Li Luo saw that the space around him was being carved out, turning the snake's very own body into its own realm, his expression turned heavy. He could sense that he was falling into a fatal crisis.

Nine Snakes clearly intended to use its Divine Fruit to form a domain, sealing him within. It could then use its Divine Fruit Authority to refine him day and night until his own Authority was exhausted. A Divine Fruit Grand Devil King truly couldn't be underestimated. The sudden shift from offense to defense left Li Luo on the backfoot.
