Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1785: Battling Divine Fruit

The deafening clang of the emerging blade echoed across the East Divine Continent. The strange sound of a dragon's roar combined with a trumpeting elephant caused the heavens and the earth to tremble. Worldly natural energy began to surge, transforming into a raging river of energy, rushing towards Li Luo.

Massive amounts of blade energy condensed within Li Luo's palm, eventually turning into an ancient and mottled blade that radiated tyrannical power. It was the Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade, though it had been completely transformed as Li Luo had refined it for countless years within the flame cauldron.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Emperor Stage, the weapon that had accompanied him for countless years had also transcended. The Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade was now a Heavenly Emperor Ancestral Relic that had reached the divine grade and surpassed even the most supreme treasured artifacts. Perhaps it could no longer be considered the Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade, since it had shed all of its previous characteristics and was now an Ancestral Relic that contained the imprint of Li Luo's countless Authorities.

As Li Luo lifted the blade, he inspected it. Countless flowing traces of Authority danced across its surface, giving it a mighty aura. It was as though it possessed a life of its own. Twelve types of resonant power intermingled, fused, and separated across the weapon constantly. All sorts of wondrous phenomena were produced in its presence, giving it a wondrous and otherworldly appearance.

Dazzling light flowed across the blade's edge. The void was torn apart in its path, as though it was as soft as tofu. In fact, just a trace amount of the blade energy cleaved a mountain range beneath into two.

"I'll call it the Twelve Resonances Devil Punishment Blade from now on," Li Luo murmured to himself.

The weapon had accompanied him for countless years and innumerable battles. His resonant power had left traces in it time and time again, allowing him to be perfectly compatible with it. That was why it was capable of containing all of his resonances.

Gripping the blade tightly, Li Luo's aura surged and exploded wildly, and the entire East Divine Continent shook in his presence. Even Heavenly Emperors would turn pale upon seeing him. His gaze had turned as keen as the blade in his hand. He had managed to locate traces of where Nine Snakes true body was hidden upon dealing with the curse.

He stepped forward, striking downwards with the Twelve Resonances Devil Punishment Blade. "Twelve resonances strike!"

As the blade came down, the twelve kinds of resonant powers fused violently. All of the living beings on the East Divine Continent witnessed a vast, magnificent ray of blade energy releasing glorious amounts of light. It was like a rainbow bridge spanning across the entire length of the continent. To the average individual, it was a breathtaking sight. However, those who had reached the King Stage could vaguely perceive the terrifying destructive power hidden beneath the splendor.

The Kings felt as though they were mayflies staring at the sky upon witnessing Li Luo's attack. The grand blade energy shredded Nine Snakes's phasing figure, then it smashed through countless layers of the void. It was locked onto a specific location, and it annihilated that place completely, forming a black hole.

When the blade energy struck its target, a gloomy and ear-piercing screech echoed out from the depths of the black hole. A pungent and fishy-smelling tempest swept out, followed by an indescribably titanic blood serpent. It opened its bottomless maw, biting down on the blade energy.

Bang!

The eyes of the blood serpent flickered with a merciless light. It had managed to shatter Li Luo's blade energy, turning it into countless motes of light. Every single tiny mote of light immediately created fissures and abysses on the ground below. The terrifying blade energy then transformed into sharp astral winds that instantly rendered these locations into dangerous zones of death.

Li Luo, on the other hand, continued to stare at the void. A figure slowly strode out of the spot he was staring at, and the humongous blood serpent in the sky started to rapidly shrink at the same time. Eventually, it transformed into a single tail that swayed behind the figure. This was Nine Snakes' true body.

When it appeared, three Grand Devil Kings accompanied it. Behind the group was an entire horde of Other Kings that emanated powerful corruption source origin fluctuations. After Nine Snakes saw that its curse had been dealt with and that it had failed to destroy the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation, it had decided to lead all of its forces to crush it directly.

It quietly observed Li Luo with a sinister gaze. The fact that its curse had been rendered ineffective had also caused it to look at Li Luo in a much more serious light. It then stretched its hand out and lightly beckoned.

A moment later, the three Grand Devil Kings and the Other Kings behind it transformed into a sea of black flames that could cover the sky, sweeping towards the entirety of the East Divine Continent without a word.

When Li Luo saw this, he waved his hand and shot out beams of light that landed in the hands of the countless Kings that were guarding the continent. Ancient banners overflowing with magnificent amounts of energy were condensed from the beams of light, each one linked to the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation.

Li Luo's voice was transmitted into all of their ears. "Everyone, please protect the cores of the formation across the East Divine Continent, to maintain its operation."

The Kings deferentially accepted his order, then they vanished into streams of light that teleported them to the formation's nodes.

"You can leave two of the Grand Devil Kings to me," said Lu Qing'er. Her sharp eyes were focused on two of them, one possessing two Authorities while the other had one.

"Leave the last Grand Devil King to me," added Zhen Linshuang.

"I'll be troubling the two of you," replied Li Luo, nodding.

Frozen lotuses bloomed beneath Lu Qing'er's jade-like feet as she slowly walked forward. Biting frost was left in her wake like an icy path before she eventually disappeared into the horizon.

Zhen Linshuang's body started to expand as violet-gold light filled the sky. She let out a deafening roar as she returned to her original form, a Heavenly Dragon that was millions of feet long. She then soared away, emanating her imposing aura.

The flames of war had truly engulfed every corner of the continent.

Li Luo raised his head, focusing on Nine Snakes. They locked eyes, feeling each other's overflowing killing intent. With a thought, Li Luo activated the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation, causing innumerable barriers of light to manifest, protecting the land. He then released his grip, allowing the Twelve Resonances Devil Punishment Blade to rise into the air. A moment later, the twelve resonances burst out with brilliant light.

"Twelve Resonances Genesis Dragon," Li Luo thought to himself. An inscrutable draconic roar echoed out, causing the entire world to shake. The Twelve Resonances Devil Punishment Blade had transformed into a gigantic twelve-colored dragon. It remained coiled in the sky as it unhinged its gaping maw, revealing twelve different kinds of energies that were fusing together.

Bang!

A moment later, the rainbow-colored dragon spat out a torrent of dragonbreath created from the fusion of twelve resonant powers, carrying apocalyptic power as it swept towards Nine Snakes.

Li Luo understood the terror of a Divine Fruit Grand Devil King and thus did not stop there. He formed a hand seal that caused the void to shatter, revealing an ancient sword formation that was akin to a primordial beast large enough to swallow entire worlds. The sword energy it possessed was indescribably sharp, to the point that even the heavens and earth changed colors in fear. Ten gigantic Dragon Fang Swords quietly floating were within the sword formation.
