Chapter 1801: Resurrection

Yu Lang fell on his back, hitting the ground with a thud. Countless people watched with looks of reverence, worship, and pain. Pang Qianyuan had a complicated look in his eyes. The youth who seemed somewhat lackluster compared to Li Luo had achieved extraordinary feats worth remembering years later, and his final attack had been breathtaking.

However, Pang Qianyuan and the other Triple Crowned Kings could smell the stench of death when witnessing its splendor. It was a strike that could slay Heavenly Emperors, but he had to pay the ultimate price. It was possible because Yu Lang had offered up everything he had—his life, his strength, and his potential.

Yu Lang himself was most cognizant of this fact, yet he had acted without hesitation. He knew that he was the only one on the East Divine Continent who could buy enough time for Li Luo. He had done it to save Li Luo, but also to save Bai Doudou, Xia City, and all of the living creatures of the continent. And thus, he had no regrets.

As he lay on his back, his vision started to dim and the world around him was fading. He could sense that his body was like a spent lamp, yet there was a smile on his face that was gradually growing wider.

When everything turned black, Yu Lang mumbled to himself, "I suppose that attack was pretty cool, huh? It's a pity... that Li Luo didn't get to watch what I did."

However, right his consciousness was about to disappear, he felt a hand pressing against his chest. At the same time, a gentle and familiar voice rang out. "I saw it. That really was pretty cool."

A burst of boundless lifeforce poured into Yu Lang's body right when he was about to drown in the darkness. It caused his dessicated husk of a body to be rejuvenated once again. Just before his mind drifted away forever, he felt something strange and came to life once again. He groggily opened his eyes, pulling himself out of the dark. What he saw was still the walls of Xia City. He then turned his head and saw a familiar face beside him, grinning. It was Li Luo!

Yu Lang paused before blurting out, "Didn't I die?"

Li Luo grinned as he responded, "With me around, dying is a pretty difficult task."

With his current strength and with the aid of the wondrous lifedeath resonance, the act of reversing death was not impossible. Even though the grade of his lifedeath resonance would fall, the cost was nothing compared to the pain of separation and death.

"I guess I just won the lottery," said Yu Lang, laughing. He had delivered the coolest attack of his life and even managed to survive. The way he saw it, he had undoubtedly won.

However, his smile immediately froze when he sensed a severe weakness coursing through his body. When he inspected himself, he realized that there was not a single trace of resonant power left within him. His resonant palaces had also vanished.

"Your Resonance Origin Transformation Art consumed your resonances and resonant palace. I can replenish your life force and pull you from the throes of death. However, I can't rebuild your resonant palaces and resonances," Li Luo explained apologetically.

After all, that attack not only required the sacrifice of his life, but also the foundations of his power. Li Luo could keep him alive, but he could not recreate his resonant palaces. Perhaps he would be able to when he reached a higher realm.

Yu Lang paused for a few moments before he revealed a carefree smile. He had given up everything for what would be the most brilliant strike of his life. Did he have any regrets? No. If one could hear the Dao in the morning, they would die content at night.

He had touched upon the pinnacle of power with his own hands. Originally, with his talent, he would never have been able to come in contact with the lofty Heavenly Emperor Stage. However, thanks to the Resonance Origin Transformation Art, the aid of the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation, and the assistance of other Kings, he was able to unleash an attack at the level of a Heavenly Emperor.

Yu Lang would remember that moment forever. Had a Dual Crowned King ever achieved such a feat before? He was very likely the first one in history.

He patted Li Luo's shoulder with a chortle. "Surviving is good enough. You are just advancing further and further. That was probably the last time I'll ever be of any help to you."

Afterwards, he turned to look behind the walls, where a woman with teary eyes was rushing towards him, falling heavily into his arms. Muffled crying sounded out. It was Bai Doudou.

When she first saw Yu Lang collapse, she felt like her heart had shattered to pieces. Her entire body had grown numb and disoriented. However, just as she was overwhelmed with grief, Li Luo had reappeared, bringing her relief. That was the moment when she truly experienced what "bittersweet" meant. As a result, she could no longer hold back the turbulent emotions in her heart. However, she immediately discovered that something was wrong with Yu Lang.

"Your resonant power has dissipated," she said,

Yu Lang nodded, smiling. "I survived. What else can you hope for?"

Bai Doudou's eyes were red as she continued, "How weak. Can your little brother still walk the walk?"

Yu Lang's mood was instantly ruined. "What are you blabbering about? Even without resonant power, my King Stage body is not made of soft clay. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself tonight. We'll see who will end up crying!"

Bai Doudou's face went red as she unhappily gave the foul-mouthed fellow a good punch. She then turned towards Li Luo with a smile. "Thank you, Li Luo."

He waved his hand. "I should be the one thanking Yu Lang. If he hadn't bought me precious time, my resurrection might have been ruined by Nine Snakes."

After which, he calmly raised his head and looked into the sky above the East Divine Continent, where immense amounts of Divine Fruit Authority were starting to gather. Nine Snakes was also completing its revival. The difference this time was that this was its final life.

"Li Luo, can you really win?" asked Yu Lang. He could feel a terrifying pressure envelope the entirety of the East Divine Continent.

Li Luo grinned. "I don't know about the others... but I can definitely beat Nine Snakes."

"Damn! Stop pretending!" Yu Lang scolded enviously.

That was a Divine Fruit Grand Devil King, an existence like this stood at the peak of the peak. Li Luo had casually assumed that his victory was in the bag, and such overbearing confidence would undoubtedly unnerve all of the heroes in the world.

Li Luo chuckled and ascended into the sky before the reverent gazes of the crowd. There, the void started to twist and distort, then a vortex opened up. Nine Snakes' devilish figure strode out once again.

However, everyone could clearly sense that it had become much weaker than before. Its sinister expression was filled with a mix of indignant rage and fear. When it witnessed Li Luo's successful resurrection, it knew that its last-ditch scheme had failed. Li Luo's resurrection art had not been dealt with.

Li Luo did not bother with superfluous words. The void behind him started to twist as well. The mysterious Absolute Resonance Halo appeared once more, turning in reverse, building up a horrifying amount of power.
