With the demise of Tian Miao, the chaotic battle that was raging high up in the air froze as though time stopped. The fighters from both sides were shocked by what had happened.0
Although Tian Miao was only half a step into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, this was largely due to having slightly less resonant power in his body. If he were given some more time to cultivate, he would surely be able to step into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier in full.0
As an elite of the Devil Fire Hall, he naturally had multiple tricks up his sleeve too. His battle strength was not necessarily weaker than that of rogue cultivators at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier. 0
Yet such a man had been killed by Li Luo in front of everyone's eyes.0
It was such a clean and straightforward win from Li Luo that even someone like Zhao Yan and Mu Yao might not have been able to pull it off.0
After all, there was a big difference between winning and killing.0
At this moment, Li Luo was pretty calm and composed despite accomplishing such an outrageous feat. This was nothing worth bragging about in his eyes. He had ultimately borrowed the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf, which surely put him on par with a legitimate Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator even though it was restrained. Moreover, he had pulled out his killing move immediately by brandishing the two Dragon Fang Swords. With every card in play, he could forget about showing his face in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent ever again if he couldn't even deal with Tian Miao.0
If he wasn't afraid of Tian Miao having even more life-saving techniques prepared beforehand, he probably would not have gone all-out with two Dragon Fang Swords to pull off the win. 0
Nonetheless, he did not slow down from here. His eyes swiftly turned towards the three other strong foes—Zhao Yan, Mu Yao, and Qin Ying.0
Sensing his gaze, their faces twitched a little. They could clearly tell from the earlier battle that the strength of the two Dragon Fang Swords was extraordinary. If those swords had attacked them directly, they would likely be dead as well.0
In the end, Li Luo's eyes stopped on Zhao Yan.0
There was killing intent laced within his gaze. Zhao Yan had been going against them at every turn since the beginning. He was also the leader of the squad from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. If he could was taken out, it would be a great blow to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, and they would naturally lose the heart to continue competing for the Origin Enlightenment Fruits.0
Zhao Yan's expression changed as soon as he sensed the murderous gaze from Li Luo. Resonant power surged from his body, and ring after ring of protective energy formed around him. 0
With a cold look in his eyes, Li Luo drew the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow from his pocket sphere.0
The power of the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation was undoubtedly immense. However, such domineering power also caused a huge strain to his body every time he used it. As such, he had to slow down the pace of his offense.0
The Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow was also a tyrannical weapon in its own right, and fortunately, it was not as taxing on him. 0
At the same time, Li Luo also pulled out the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow, the fifth-grade Royal Engraving he had been kindly "gifted." He had used it once already, so the Royal Engraving was slightly dimmer. Nonetheless, it seemed like it could still be used quite a few more times before crumbling completely.0
"With the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's power, the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow, and a fifth-grade Royal Engraving, this strike should be slightly stronger than the two Dragon Fang Swords. This should be able to finish off Zhao Yan directly regardless of what life-saving techniques he has up his sleeve... right?" Li Luo thought to himself. He looked over at Zhao Yan with a bright smile. The latter's face had turned pale as he hovered in the air.0
In the same moment, the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow was activated, taking shape on the bow.0
Bang!0
Thunder roared when the arrow was released. The Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow exploded with lightning that sparked wildly as it shot across the air like a raging torrent of elemental doom.0
At this moment, the lightning flooded the air around Li Luo.0
Zhao Yan's face changed completely with this sight.0
He wanted to escape to avoid Li Luo's strike. However, Li Lingjing had arrived precisely at this moment with her Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff in hand. The aquamarine poison rays swept across the sky, and the void trembled under the pressure of her resonant power.0
Zhao Yan had no choice but to summon everything he had to defend himself.0
"Hey, Zhao Yan seems to be out of luck. Is he really going to die here? This would be such a great embarrassment for the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao," Zhu Zhu commented with a peal of uncontrollable laughter as she watched from afar with the squad from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu.0
Everyone could tell that Zhao Yan was in a precarious predicament. Without a doubt, his Lesser Heavenly Resonance strength was no match against the teamwork of Li Luo and Li Lingjing. 0
"If not for the wild variable Li Luo, I am afraid that this generation from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li would have been oppressed by the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao yet again..." Zong Sha said with a sigh over at the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's group. 0
"Li Luo is truly a monster. Although he relied on external aid to kill Tian Miao earlier, the two Dragon Fang Swords he had used were probably a very high-grade Duke Art. Judging from how domineering his sword energy is, I think... it is probably not any weaker than the completed Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon," Zong Sha continued.0
Jiang Wanyu's face changed a little after hearing his words. The completed version of the Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon was a Destiny-grade Duke Art. Although it was one grade short of being Transcendent, it was still considered top-class when compared to the weaker Soul Ascension-grade Duke Arts. The fact that Zong Sha had commended theDragon Fang Swords indicated that he was wary of their tremendous power. 0
"Based on hall divisions by age, Li Luo would be placed in the Two Star Hall in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. However, his strength would place him amongst the top few in the Three Star Hall even without that fearsome external power he wields. He's truly what you'd call a monster," Jiang Wanyu commented with a complex look on her charming face. She had originally treated him coldly and even felt a sense of arrogance when they first met. However, the scene before her forced a reluctant recognition of his exceptional talent. 0
"If were in our college, he would potentially have become one of the Heavenly Star Seedlings and eventually be promoted into the Heavenly Star Hall in advance," Zong Sha said. 0
"Heavenly Star Seedling..."0
Jiang Wanyu's eyes fluttered a little. In the Ancient College, the Heavenly Star Hall was a place that towered over the rest. However, one would need to be at the Heavenly Resonance Tier before they could enter the Heavenly Star Hall. It could be said to be a place where all the monstrous talents from the college gathered. Under ordinary circumstances, Dukes emerged from the Heavenly Star Hall every few years. This was even more impressive than the Four Heavenly Bloodlines in some ways. 0
As for the Heavenly Star Seedlings, it was a term reserved for someone who had not attained the Heavenly Resonance Tier but had been nominated into the hall in advance due to their extraordinary talent. This was a feat so rare and difficult that not even someone as spectacular as Jiang Wanyu had achieved it.0
As such, she was inevitably moved when she heard Zong Sha's words.0
While they were talking about it, Li Luo kept up his attacks. However, just as he was about to launch another devastating blow, a strange cry reverberated throughout the place.0
Everyone was taken aback by this sudden development. Their eyes turned towards the origin of the sound. It had actually come from the giant tree that spanned across the sky...0
The ancient tree appeared to be swaying slightly, its leaves rustling. 0
At the next moment, the sounds of flapping wings could be heard. Everyone watched in surprise as streaks of golden light flew up from the branches of the ancient tree.0
Within the beams of golden light were giant birds with wingspans of tens of meters. Their bodies were bronze in color, but their claws were bathed in golden light, each emitting strong waves of energy. A moment later, thousands of these giant condors soared into the sky. Their feathers appeared to be as hard as iron and there was a stench that resembled a rotting corpse wafted off them.0
"Are these... Divine Golden Clawed Bronze Condors? Why are there so many of them?!" 0
The crowd exclaimed when they saw the sudden deluge of giant condors flying towards them. Despite their shock, they were able to recognise the spirit beasts straight away.0
The Divine Golden Clawed Bronze Condors in their adult formswere comparable to Heavenly Pearl Tier cultivators. With such huge numbers, it could be considered an unavoidable natural disaster. They were probably the spirit beasts guarding the ancient tree.0
When he saw this sudden development, Li Luo's face changed too.0
He noticed that the gray-white eyes of these condors had already locked onto the scuffling crowd. The hisses[1] of the condors filled the air as countless beams of golden light descended towards them from the skies.0
1. TL Note: Seriously, condors hiss. ☜
