Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0862:First Clash



Chapter 0862:First Clash

Facing the blatant hostility and murderous intent coming from Zhao Jingyu, Li Luo's expression did not change at all. He had not expected to make his first real enemy because of jealousy over a lady! However, it was beyond his ability and position to consider if Zhao Jingyu's actions were a ploy from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao to get closer to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing.

As much as Zhao Jingyu wanted his arm for his marriage proposal, Li Luo also wished to obtain an arm from his opponent... Specifically, the arm with the pocket sphere.

He had not forgotten about the dragon fangs.

At this moment, many people back in the safety zone had started watching the conflict excitedly. It was not a common sight to see the top talents from two different Heavenly Emperor forces clashing.

Under all these gazes, Zhao Jingyu walked forward slowly with the huge, crimson blade in his hand. The Tiger Division did not move a single step behind him. However, their resonant power surged with every breath they took, forming an enormous, terrifying power.

Zhao Jingyu did not plan to activate Harmony right now. He simply stared disdainfully at Li Luo and said, "I heard that you have wasted dozens of years in the outer divine continent and are still at the Greater Fiend Palace now. What a tragic story. Too bad, I will not give you a chance just because of that. It was the dumb decision of your father and mother, after all."

When he finished his sentence, he gradually raised the huge blade in his hand. His resonant power erupted without holding back, and Fiend Dipper energy leaked out from the tip of his sword.

His Fiend Dipper energy was nearly eight hundred feet high! Zhao Jingyu was clearly at the peak of the Fiend Finisher Tier.

Taking a step forward, Zhao Jingyu slashed down fiercely towards Li Luo's direction. The Fiend Dipper energy was truly terrifying. When the blade fell, space itself was sliced apart with faint traces left behind in the void, and a blade scar thousands of meters long and half a meter deep appeared on the ground below.

Many of the Fiend Finisher Tier cultivators present were staring in shock when he wielded his blade. Zhao Jingyu's foundation was on a totally different level.

"Big Boss, activate Harmony now!" Li Shi shouted out in a hurry. Even the Gold Fiend Li Shi was feeling threatened by Zhao Jingyu’s slash. If this slash were targeted at him, he would probably have died on the spot.

However, Li Luo simply waved his hand in response. Eagerness filled up his eyes. His power had increased greatly after his recent breakthrough into the half-completed Glass Fiend Tier. And Zhao Jingyu was the perfect whetstone for him.

He clenched his fist, and the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade materialized in his hand. Then he took a deep breath, and the three resonant palaces within him started shuddering. Like mighty tidal waves, an enormous resonant power surged within his body.

In particular, two of his resonant powers coiled together like giant pythons and rapidly fused with each other.

Dual resonances!

A dual-colored ring of light appeared around his blade as he swung it down with a calm face. A rapidly spinning blade wheel materialized in the air.

Weng!

Pure and condensed resonant power was seen flowing within the blade wheel. Hidden within it was a faint trace of the Vestiges of Spirituality. It was truly mystical.

The blade wheel flew through the air. After a few moments, it made contact with the terrifying Fiend Dipper energy-powered slash.

Bang!

The raging energy from the attacks exploded in the air.

The two powers started to consume and eliminate each other.

After a short while, the blade wheel's rotation gradually slowed, and it eventually shattered into motes of light. However, the Fiend Dipper energy slash had been greatly weakened too. When the attack finally reached him, Li Luo simply let it slide past his body.

He was emitting a thick, golden light with glazed patterns that appeared from time to time. The slash was unable to hurt him at all with this immense defense.

Seeing this, shocking gasps were heard from the safety region.

Zhao Jingyu's slash was powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary Fiend Finisher. Yet it had been stopped by Li Luo, who had not even cultivated any Fiend Dipper energy?

It seemed like Li Luo was not injured at all.

Li Shi, Zhao Yanzhi, Mu Bi, and the rest were also a little shocked as Li Luo had not gotten help from Harmony this time. He had blocked it solely with his individual strength.

They were very clear on just how big of a gap Li Luo had with the top talents in the Twenty Banners just a few months ago. Yet he had closed the chasm of strength between them.

Such talent was truly amazing.

On the other hand, Li Luo was not impressed like them. He shook his head lightly with a little dissatisfaction. After all, his attack was slightly weaker during his direct confrontation with Zhao Jingyu.

He could see why Fiend Dipper energy was the signature trait of Fiend Finishers now. It possessed extremely domineering power.

Fortunately, he had attained the strength to stand up against Fiend Finisher opponents.

The results from his breakthrough were evident now.

While Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhao Jingyu's face turned gloomy. Like the rest, this was not a result he had expected.

Based on his estimate, that slash should have left Li Luo in a pathetic state. Either that or he would have activated Harmony to block it.

However, Li Luo had dealt with the attack casually.

"So you've reached the Gold Fiend Tier, it seems," Zhao Jingyu said with a heavy voice.

The golden glow on Li Luo's body was a signature trait of the Gold Fiend Tier. He knew immediately that Li Luo was no longer in the Greater Fiend Palace like the information he had gathered previously. Li Luo had already skipped tiers in his breakthrough and reached the Gold Fiend Tier.

This was undoubtedly due to the rare opportunity he had grasped at the Mystical Yellow Dragonbreath Pool.

At this moment, Zhao Jingyu understood that Li Luo had gradually made up for the disadvantages he had earlier in life.

Nonetheless, he would not give up just because of this.

A fierce light flashed across his eyes, and he clapped his hands together. A tiger roar echoed from the Tiger Division behind him immediately, then a huge wave of resonant power surged up.

The real battle was about to begin now.

Seeing this, Li Luo kept his composure as he prepared to achieve Harmony.

Just as both sides were about to pull out their blades for the grand battle, countless guttural roars began to reverberate throughout the area. And an immensely thick wave of corruption spread throughout the sky.

When the people around the area witnessed this, a sense of fear could be felt. "Other Tide!"

A siren sounded off sharply in the safety zone.

Li Luo and Zhao Jingyu also stopped in their tracks and looked towards the approaching dark cloud of corruption. They could sense that countless Others were moving within it.

However, they did not panic. Such a scene was not uncommon in the Dark Domain. Besides, they were mostly low-level Others that did not pose a significant threat.

"Heed my order, Green Nether Banner. Prepare to defend yourselves!" Li Luo's low voice echoed in the ears of the Green Nether Banner members. The eight thousand banner members activated their resonant power and synced their breathing immediately. A huge power surged from them and isolated the influence of the approaching corruption.

With their powers combined, they were as strong as a Duke. Naturally, they were not afraid of this Other Tide.

At this moment, Li Luo also took a few steps back and combined his strength with his banner members. He would not be able to resist so many Others with his individual strength alone.

Even though these Others were merely Eroding-class, their numbers were enough to overwhelm him.

Just as Li Luo finished his preparations, the Other Tide rushed towards him. At this point, he could see countless weird and twisted things within the thick and cold cloud.

They looked like huge, bloodshot eyeballs. At the same time, there were many pale, human hands extending out of those eyeballs. They were moving it forward as if they were its hands and feet.

Deep inside the red eyeball was a dark light that could be spotted from time to time.

It would have been fine if they had appeared individually. However, with such a huge force densely packed like a mountain, its mere sight would send chills up one's spine.

When Li Luo activated Harmony, a huge wave of energy soared up and formed an energy wall that stood firmly in front of him.

BANG! BANG!

The innumerable Eyeball Others dashed into the energy wall directly. When they came into contact with it, a strong energy wave sent them flying backwards. They would then start trembling before finally exploding.

Puddles of flesh, blood, and black liquid splashed the entire area.

However, the Eyeball Others remained undaunted and continued charging forward without hesitation. At the same time, countless beams of foul-smelling, dark light shot out of the single-eyed creatures. The beams landed on the energy wall and set off ripples on it.

Li Luo simply looked on at the scene without much expression. Although the Eyeball Others did make one feel uncomfortable, they were of no threat to him when he was in the state of Harmony.

Just as he thought about this, he frowned a little. For a moment, he felt an uncanny feeling that someone was spying on him.

It was a strange feeling that he was being closely scrutinized...

Li Luo stretched out his hand, and a beam of energy shot out from the energy wall at the front. It pierced through dozens of Eyeball Others instantly, surrounding one of them in the distance before pulling it back fiercely.

When the Eyeball Other was just about to touch the energy wall, a small hole opened up so it could pass through. Then it landed in front of Li Luo.

The bloodshot Eyeball Other’s veins moved about like squirming earthworms as it stared at Li Luo. It was truly grotesque and unnerving.

Li Luo frowned as he observed it. The previous sensation of being scrutinized seemed to have come from this guy... But now that he had captured it, the feeling was gone.

There was only Li Luo's face reflected in the eyeball that was as big as a human's head.

Then Li Luo gathered up his energy and pinched on the Eyeball Other, causing it to shatter into pieces. Following this, he used another wave of energy and purified the remains of the Others.

A serious look appeared on his face as he looked up into the dark Other Tide around him.

“Was I mistaken about the feeling I just had?”
