Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1630: Transcendent Tribulation

“Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies! Get into formation!”

As Li Luo’s thunderous roar echoed out, the Dragon Bone Holy Grail started to rumble and incredible amounts of energy rushed out of it.

Roar!

The influx of energy was accompanied by a draconic roar.

Li Luo was still wearing the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Treasures, and they let out their own roars in unison, casting a divine light all around him. At the same time, the boundless energy that came from the Dragon Bone Holy Grail fused into his body.

The Heavenly Dragon Formation was once again unveiled for the world to see.

He held the Light and Dark Spear in one hand and the Golden Hammer in the other. The Apex Resonance Crystal Core on his forehead, which resembled the vertical violet-gold eye of a god, began to emit mysterious light as well. It released the pressure of a Heavenly Dragon, so powerful that the void began to tremble.

Li Luo was now amongst the ranks of Kings yet again.

As he sensed the nigh infinite amounts of power coursing through his body, he let out a satisfied smile. This idea he had come up with on the spur of the moment had worked out.

The Five Guardian Armies had been unable to channel their energies together in a formation due to the Saturnine Hydra Devil King’s sonic interference. However, Li Luo had utilized the spatial pocket of the Dragon Bone Holy Grail to shelter his soldiers.

As a result, their side now had the equivalent of four Single Crowned Kings. If they were to work together, they should be capable of buying some time for Jiang Qing’e.

Once she became a true Transcendent Duke, they might have a chance to turn the tables.

With this in mind, Li Luo turned back briefly to look at Jiang Qing’e, who was enveloped in the sacred lotus manifestation made of light.

“Let’s go together!” he roared.

While his warcry echoed out in every direction, he launched an attack. The spear and hammer in his hands knocked against each other, creating a boom as loud as thunder. An incomparably large pillar of energy blasted into the sky, shaped like a dragon lunging with its claws. Its destructive prowess was beyond measure, and it was aimed right at the Five Headed Abomination.

“Mere ants dare to challenge the heavens?”

The Five Headed Devil Abomination laughed scornfully when faced with Li Luo’s attack. One of the Devil Heads began to act. Its bottomless pit-like mouth spewed out endless amounts of bloody sand that took the form of a Blood Jiao. The creature radiating endless killing intent and tyrannical power clashed with the Titanic Divine Force produced by the Heavenly Treasures!

Bang!

The void above Xia City shattered. Spatial rifts that extended for tens of thousands of feet were ripped open. The sky looked terrifying, covered in what seemed like portals to the abyss.

When Li Luo launched his attack, Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lingzi, and Li Qingying followed up with their mightiest blows.

Pang Qianyuan’s Crown began to release endless rays of green light and source origin descended before him, transforming into a gigantic elephant so large that one couldn’t see its whole body without panning their head.

This was his first resonance, the Green Elephant resonance!

The Green Elephant trumpeted loudly, causing the skies to shake. Its humongous body then began to shrink rapidly, eventually turning into a nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine-feet-long blade.

Endless winds wrapped around the blade, and its berserk aura seemed capable of cutting the heavens in half.

A green vine extended from Lan Lingzi’s Crown, swaying in the skies, akin to an emerald python. It then took the form of a gigantic palm print that was capable of enveloping all of Xia City.

Source origin runic patterns were streaked all over it.

Li Qingying formed a hand seal, then the countless dragonscales on her Crown began to separate and fall off, turning into a vast rain of scales. The detached dragon scales swiftly assembled into a mysterious formation.

They then condensed together, forming millions of peerlessly sharp swords.

The three Kings did not hesitate to pull out their aces.

Grand Elephant’s Holy Blade!

Life Flourishing Divine Handprint!

Dragonscale Myriad Swords Formation!

The entire world rumbled and shook, leaving the experts within Xia City in a daze. Seeing so many Kings bring out their strongest arts was a sight they had never seen before.

Frightening roars filled the air as the five Devil Heads began to open their bottomless maws, each spewing out an attack in response.

Five torrents of energy of various colors shot out. Black. White. Gray. Crimson. Green.

The sky suddenly turned dark as corruption surged. Wherever the torrent of multi-colored energy passed through, Others spawned underneath.

Bang!

The five energies met the three Kings’ attacks head-on. The surrounding worldly natural energy was annihilated by the clash. For a moment, all of it had been drained away, leaving an energy-less void. Even the Dukes could sense their Duke Bergfrieds weakening and their sense of connection with the world vanishing.

A battle truly had to be intense beyond belief for the worldly natural energy in an area to be sucked dry.

The five-colored corruption energy stream roiled violently like an ocean. Alas, Pang Qianyuan and the other two’s strongest attacks were unable to overcome it. On the other hand, their own attacks were dimming and their energies were being grinded away in this forceful confrontation.

The Five Headed version of the Grand Devil King might not have reached its peak power, but it was still as strong as a Dual Crowned King. Therefore, they were firmly suppressed despite having better numbers.

As the attacks from the three Kings were defused harmlessly, a sword hymn resonated through the skies. It sounded like the roar of a dragon. An ancient sword formation was taking shape in the void above them.

Six incredibly sharp Dragon Fang Swords were taking preliminary form.

When faced with such a strong opponent, Li Luo didn’t dare to hold back in any way, so he immediately switched over to his killing moves.

Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation, Six Dragon Fangs, Monarch Burying Dirge! The rays of sword energy clashed and fused with each other within the formation.

The esoteric and devastating sword hymns fused with a mighty dragon’s roar to form a song that could spell the end of a King.

When Li Luo launched his ultimate killing move, the five-colored stream of corruption energy was finally forced to a halt.

That said, the shockwave of the collision spread across tens of thousands of miles, grinding all the worldly natural energy into its tiniest form.

“Oh? A Transcendent Art? That looks a bit more durable.”

The Five Headed Devil Abomination was surprised. It had never thought that its attacks could be resisted by a brat who had been elevated to the King Stage.

Bang!

Just as Li Luo went all-out to block the enemy, the sacred lotus around Jiang Qing’e began to glow incandescently. Boundless amounts of light spilled out in every direction, as though a divine sun capable of purifying everything was starting to rise.

The sacred light scattered across the heavens and the earth, purifying much of the corruption source origin that filled the area.

The light energy began to let out roars of joy, gathering above Jiang Qing’e in the form of a majestic palace befitting a god of light.

Vast amounts of light source origin began to condense, taking the form of divine lightning. A lightning tribulation surrounded the sacred lotus, protecting Jiang Qing’e from incoming threats.

“This is... Transcendent Tribulation? How did it arrive so quickly?”

Pang Qianyuan and the other two Kings were baffled.

It was rumored that one would have to endure a tyrannical form of tribulation before reaching the Transcendent Duke Stage. Only by surviving it would they be capable of forming their Heavenly Thrones and truly taking a step forward on the Path of Ascension.

However, the tribulation varied according to one’s foundation, and one usually had to accumulate energy for a long time before it would strike. Jiang Qing’e had somehow accumulated that amount of energy faster than an incense stick could burn out. If anything, it meant that the sturdy foundation she had built was terrifyingly deep.

Even the Five Headed Devil Abomination’s dusky flame eyes squinted upon witnessing this. Its low voice rumbled. “A transcendent genius with such a robust foundation is rare. I think it's best that you don’t reach that stage.”

Its heads all gave a chilling smile. It simply couldn’t allow Jiang Qing’e to make a breakthrough right in front of its eyes.

The five bottomless mouths spat out five dense streams of corruption that gathered together to form a five-colored beam of evil light.

Wherever the beam of corruption passed through, everything was silenced.

Bang!

This five-colored corruption beam first swept through the Monarch Burying Dirge, destroying the domineering and sharp sword energies within the sonic waves to be destroyed. The death-inducing performance came to an abrupt end.

The Monarch Burying Dirge had been overwhelmed.

“Watch out, Li Luo! This is a variation of the Saturnine Hydra Devil King’s signature killing move, the Eight Headed Corruption Beam. If it touches your flesh, your source origin will be annihilated!” Pang Qianyuan hurriedly yelled.

When Li Luo heard the warning, his heart shook and his body tensed up. The Eight Headed Corruption Beam sounded like it contained eight different types of corruption energy. This beam only had five, so it was sure to be weaker. Even so, it was a frightening move to defend against.

His sword formation was showing traces of being disintegrated by the beam.

However, just as Li Luo was about to retaliate, the Five Headed Devil Abomination sneered and the beam of corruption energy veered away, streaking across the sky in Jiang Qing’e’s direction.

The three Kings’ expressions changed and they hastily launched their own attacks, attempting to block the beam. But the beam was simply too fast! By the time they reacted, it was already on the verge of striking the sacred lotus..

Just before it came into contact with the sacred lotus, a majestic violet-gold dragon scale appeared, radiating a pressure that would strike fear even in a King!

Bang!

When the beam finally smashed into the violet-gold dragon scale, the latter didn’t even shake. The light that surrounded the scale had mitigated most of the energy from the beam!

For the first time since the battle started, the Five Headed Devil Abomination’s expression warped in fury.

“Heavenly Dragon Ancestral Scale?!”
