Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1704

Chapter 1701 Goodbye Li Hongyou

“Li Luo!”

When Li Luo recognized the pharmacist Tianlong before him, the latter’s clear voice brimmed with joy. That familiar voice was, of course, Li Hongyou, whom

he had not seen for many years. Li Luo, in turn, observed Li Hongyou with curiosity. Calculating the time, it had been over six years since they last met, and in those six years, Li Hongyou had clearly undergone a profound transformation.

Not only had she reached the King Realm, but the dragon body before him exuded a vast and immeasurable aura of blood and the fragrance of medicine. This was clearly the flesh of a true dragon. It

was somewhat similar to the “Dragon Blood Tracing Ancient Art” practiced by Li Luo, tracing the origin of bloodlines and transforming the body into a true dragon.

It seemed that Li Hongyou had gained great opportunities within the Dragon Clan over the years.

Li Luo approached Li Hongyou’s dragon head with a broad smile, and he couldn’t help but reach out to touch the jade-like dragon horns atop her head.

Seeing this, Lin Miao hurried to intervene. As a native of Xuanling Shenzhou, he knew the dragon clan’s habits best, and dragon horns were forbidden to be touched by outsiders.

But before he could finish his words, the Medicine Master Jade Dragon before him lowered its head slightly, placed its horn against Li Luo’s palm, and rubbed it affectionately.

“Senior Hongyou, have you truly transformed into the Medicine Master Jade Dragon?” Li Luo asked curiously, feeling the hard, cold horn.

“This is a secret technique of the Dragon Clan. I’ve been immersed in the Medicine Dragon Pool for years, and my bloodline has transformed, allowing me to switch between human and dragon forms. However, my human form hasn’t reached the King Realm, so I don’t normally transform into a human,” Li Hongyou said.

Li Luo suddenly realized that this meant that Li Hongyou could only be considered a First Crown Champion while in dragon form. If she were to return to human form, her strength would decline.

Still, it was a significant improvement. It seemed like sending Li Hongyou to the Dragon Clan was a good decision.

Li Luo was also happy for Li Hongyou’s advancement. The two hadn’t seen each other for years, and they were enjoying a pleasant conversation.

But the cheerful atmosphere didn’t last, as a series of angry dragon roars suddenly erupted from the surrounding area. From the ancient mountains, numerous dragon figures flew through the air, their dragon pupils glaring angrily at Li Luo’s hand as he caressed Li Hongyou’s dragon horn.

“Human, let go of your filthy hands! How dare you touch the dragon horn of our priest?!” a powerful dragon shouted angrily.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand awkwardly. He seemed to have underestimated Li Hongyou’s current status within the dragon clan. Judging from the reactions of these powerful dragons, even touching the dragon horn was considered blasphemy.

“How pedantic!” Li Luo muttered to himself.

Facing the accusations of these powerful dragons, Li Hongyou’s Jade Medicine Dragon, transformed into the Medicine Master, roared with thunder. Jade-green eyes darted with fury, “Back off! Do not be rude to my friend!”

This thunderous roar, reminiscent of a female Tyrannosaurus, was a stark contrast to the cold and elegant demeanor of Li Hongyou’s human form. It seemed her years among the dragons had somewhat changed her.

However, the roar had a profound effect. The powerful dragons obediently retreated, “Yes, Priest!”

Boom!

At this moment, a rumbling sound of the void shattering echoed from the depths of the Dragon Realm. A beam of black light pierced the air, transforming into an immense black dragon shadow, hovering in the void with a terrifying aura that enveloped the heavens.

“Haha, our distinguished guest has arrived from afar. Our clan is rude!” A hearty laugh echoed as the massive black dragon appeared.

Li Luo’s eyes focused. As far as his sight went, a massive black dragon filled half the sky. Its black scales shimmered with an endless mystical light, as indestructible as ten-thousand-year-old black iron. Black spikes stretched along its mountain-like spine, exuding a terrifying aggression.

Compared to this giant black dragon, the Medicine Master Jade Dragon transformed by Li Hongyou undoubtedly seemed much smaller and more refined.

What alarmed Li Luo most was the energy fluctuations emanating from the dragon’s body, reaching the peak of a Triple Crown.

While not at the pinnacle of the Light King or the Dark Lord,

it was still significantly more powerful than an average Triple Crown like Lin Miao.

With the appearance of the massive black dragon, the powerful dragons in the surrounding mountains bowed their heads and roared respectfully, “Greetings, Great Elder!”

“Li Luo, this is the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan, Ao Yan. He is the Clan Leader’s most powerful right-hand man and holds an extremely high status within the Dragon Clan.” Li Hongyou’s voice, enveloped in energy, reached Li Luo’s ears.

“Also, Ao Yan possesses only the most ordinary Black Dragon bloodline, yet he has forcibly broken through the shackles of his bloodline, constantly evolving and ascending. Now, he has become the second most powerful of the Dragon Clan after the Clan Leader. Countless ordinary dragons worship and admire him.”

At the same time, Li Hongyou’s dragon form emanated a jade-green aura, then rapidly shrank. After a few breaths, it transformed into a figure Li Luo was all too familiar with, its face, as cool and beautiful as the bright moon, coming into view.

And just as she had said, as it transformed into a human form, the energy fluctuations emanating from its body rapidly weakened, until it dropped to the King Realm.

Li Luo was slightly surprised. Bloodline is particularly important within the dragon clan. For example, once a Celestial Dragon bloodline is born, once it reaches adulthood, it reaches a power that ordinary dragons would struggle to surpass even after a lifetime of cultivation. Yet, Ao Yan, relying on ordinary Black Dragon bloodline, has surpassed many higher-grade bloodlines to achieve his current accomplishments. His character is truly extraordinary.

“Greetings, Great Elder Ao Yan,” Li Luo said, cupping his fists towards the giant black dragon.

At this moment, the giant black dragon erupted with black light, and its massive form rapidly shrank, transforming into an exceptionally majestic figure, clad in black armor and exuding a powerful and fierce aura.

“I’ve heard Hongyou say many times that Li Luomeng Shou is her good friend.” Ao Yan, in his human form, also appeared immensely burly, standing several feet tall. He stepped beside Li Hongyou, whose slender figure barely reached the height of his thigh.

Li Hongyou, visibly uneasy at Ao Yan’s approach, took a few steps closer to Li Luo.

Li Luo, perceptive, was immediately puzzled.

But Ao Yan was the first to laugh. “Don’t worry, Li Luomeng Shou, I’ve been pursuing Hongyou for years, but there’s been no progress.”

Li Luo’s expression was a little odd. Ao Yan was quite frank, but he was already a veteran, a powerful figure, far older and more senior than Li Hongyou. Wasn’t this a bit too much of an old dragon taking advantage of a young woman?

“Great Elder, I’ve said it many times before: I don’t like you. There’s no way we can be together.” Faced with Ao Yan’s direct confession, which he had made countless times, Li Hongyou spoke with resignation.

Although the Dragon Clan didn’t care about seniority, Li Hongyou couldn’t accept it, even though the other party was a powerful Dragon Clan elder, whose power had reached the pinnacle of the Triple Crown.

“Yes, I know, but I won’t give up.” Ao Yan, despite being rejected, didn’t bristle. Instead, he smiled, his eyes filled with deep fondness as he looked at Li Hongyou.

Li Luo didn’t know what to say. He respected Li Hongyou’s choices, but if she didn’t want to, he wouldn’t allow anyone to force her, even if they were a Dragon Clan elder.

But Ao Yan didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he smiled at Li Luo and Lin Miao and said, “Dear guests, the Clan Leader is already in the main hall. Please come and see him.”

Zhen Linshuang?

Li Luo and Lin Miao exchanged a glance and nodded.

Ao Yan then transformed into a black light and led the way, while Li Luo, Lin Miao, and Li Hongyou followed.

After traversing numerous mountains and seas for a while, they finally saw a towering golden mountain, nearly taking up half the size of an eyeball.

Rising from the vast expanse of the ocean, the mountain was immensely majestic, crowned by a series of golden palaces.

When Li Luo laid eyes on this golden mountain, his body seemed to resonate with a subtle rumble. A purple-gold light flowed deep within his pupils, even showing signs of dragonification.

This was a sign that his body was about to transform into a celestial dragon.

“Such an ancient celestial dragon aura!”

Li Luo marveled. The celestial dragon aura emanating from this golden mountain was so ancient and pure that it nearly tempted him to activate the Dragon Blood Tracing Technique and transform into a celestial dragon.

However, Li Luo suppressed his trembling and followed Ao Yan, who was leading the way, straight into the golden mountain. Finally, they arrived at a massive golden palace atop the mountain, emanating a majestic and untamed atmosphere.

The golden palace’s doors were open, and within was a dazzling golden light, so majestic and imposing that one could hardly look directly at it.

“Please come in, both of you,” Ao Yan smiled, then took the lead and walked in.

Li Hongyou followed suit. She was now a priestess of the Dragon Clan, and her status was high enough to allow her to enter this sacred temple of the Dragon Clan. However, as she stepped past Li Luo, she tilted her head slightly and gave him a warning look.

Li Luo’s expression was as calm as a deep pool as he also walked into the Golden Temple.

The moment he entered the Golden Temple, he felt an extremely terrifying pressure, wrapped in a weight that even the void could not bear, blocking the heavens and the earth, pouring down like an overwhelming force.
