Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1706

Chapter 1703 Tastes Good

As Zhen Linshuang’s powerful, domineering, and cold voice reverberated through the Golden Hall, the powerful dragons within erupted in roars of dragon roars.

Li Hongyou, seated at a table within the hall, gazed at Li Luo with a hint of worry. While she held considerable status within the Dragon Clan, she couldn’t possibly sway the decision of Zhen Linshuang, the clan leader.

“Clan Leader Zhen, when the Shenzhou Association granted us the quota, they never said we could only enter the first level of the Blood Sacrifice. You’re doing this now, and it’s hard to explain to the Shenzhou Association, right?” Lin Miao said in a deep voice.

However, Zhen Linshuang simply ignored Lin Miao’s questioning. Her purple-gold dragon eyes fixed on Li Luo fiercely and forcefully, awaiting his response.

From beginning to end, her sole target was Li Luo.

She knew that Li Luo was a highly regarded talent of her grandmother, Zhen Fu. She even knew from the information she had received that Zhen Fu hoped Li Luo would enter the third level of the Blood Sacrifice to see if he could obtain the “Dragon Ancestral Body.”

The three quotas for the Shenzhou Conference were only agreed upon after Zhen Fu compromised.

This filled Zhen Linshuang with deep discontent and anger. After all, in her view, Li Luo was nothing more than an outsider. Even if he possessed the bloodline of the Celestial Dragon, it was only a vestige of it. How could such a person enter the third level of the Blood Sacrifice and compete with her for the “Dragon Ancestral Body”?

She couldn’t understand why Zhen Fu would disdain her, the current clan leader, and instead favor an outsider.

What a great opportunity the “Dragon Ancestral Body” was! It was crucial to her future path to becoming a Heavenly King. Therefore, Zhen Linshuang would not give it up, no matter what!

Therefore, directly stopping Li Luo before the Blood Sacrifice would be the most worry-free and foolproof option.

The “Dragon Wine Pouring” ceremony before her was the perfect way to dissuade him.

Didn’t Grandmother Zhen Fu hold Li Luo in high regard? As clan leader, then, it was only natural that she, the Dragon Clan’s most revered guest of honor, would prepare him for the ceremony?

If Li Luo couldn’t withstand the “Dragon Pour Wine,” it meant he wasn’t capable enough. Even with the tainted blood of a Celestial Dragon, such a person wouldn’t be recognized by the Dragon Clan.

Zhen Linshuang didn’t care if such actions would displease Grandmother Zhen Fu. After all, her bloodline was closer, and she truly supported the Celestial Dragon Clan’s other most ancient Celestial Dragon King.

As Zhen Linshuang pondered this, Li Luo calmly took steps within the Golden Palace, gradually approaching the “Dragon Cup” on the central stone platform.

He was about to accept this supreme ritual of the Dragon Clan.

Lin Miao was slightly startled by this. He didn’t doubt Li Luo’s strength, but the “Dragon Pour Wine” wasn’t simply based on physical strength. After all, hadn’t even Li Tianji, a Triple Crown Champion, been overwhelmed by the dragon’s might due to the backlash, leaving him unable to move, unable to sit like a statue?

If Li Luo were also suppressed by the backlash, then they would truly miss out on the “Ten Thousand Dragons Returning Blood Sacrifice.”

But although he was worried, he also understood that Li Luo had made his choice, so he could only watch Li Luo step out.

Inside the Golden Palace, the top dragon warriors were also staring at Li Luo’s figure with scrutiny. Their dragon clan’s cup of “Dragon Wine” had never been poured properly in a thousand years.

Zhen Linshuang’s tall and well-proportioned body stood upright, her arms folded across her chest, staring coldly at Li Luo’s figure.

Boom!

As Li Luo stepped into the Golden Palace step by step, the magnificent Golden Palace began to shake. No, it was not the Golden Palace that was shaking, but this Holy Mountain of Heavenly Dragons that was shaking.

Faintly, there were roars of ancient Heavenly Dragons, one after another, like thunder, resounding through the palace.

Amidst the roars of Heavenly Dragons, Li Luo’s steps began to become heavy, because at this time, layer upon layer of Heavenly Dragon power was constantly covering his body.

Throughout history, every celestial dragon that reached adulthood would bestow its might upon the Holy Mountain. Over countless years, the might of the celestial dragons within the Holy Mountain had reached an indescribable depth.

To withstand this might, to reach the Dragon Lamp and earn the Holy Mountain’s approval, even the King of Light might not be able to do so.

And just as everyone expected, Li Luo’s steps grew heavier, threatening to freeze.

Seeing this, Zhen Linshuang’s fiery red lips curled slightly.

But in the next moment, the Myriad Aspects Wheel materialized behind Li Luo, five aspect palaces shimmering with profound light. Ten aspects merged, finally transforming into a Divine Aspect Tree at the center of his brow.

Atop the Divine Aspect Tree’s crown, an ancient celestial dragon perched.

Super Ninth-Grade, Celestial Dragon Form!

The moment this aura was revealed, the pallor of every powerful dragon within the hall suddenly changed. This Super Ninth-Grade Celestial Dragon Form, in a sense, exuded an aura approaching that of a Heavenly King Celestial Dragon.

Even Zhen Linshuang, who had reached the pinnacle of Triple Crown, had never achieved such an aura.

Zhen Linshuang’s brilliant, fierce expression froze for a moment, and a hint of jealousy flickered in her eyes. This Li Luo was truly blessed, having forged a Super Ninth-Grade Celestial Dragon Form through the fusion power of the Myriad Forms.

No wonder Grandmother Zhen Fu was so optimistic about him.

But, no matter what, he was still an outsider!

As the Super Ninth-Grade Celestial Dragon Form appeared between Li Luo’s brows, his pupils transformed into purple-gold dragon pupils. The Celestial Dragon bloodline within him was awakened, and purple-gold dragon scales continuously emerged from his skin.

Most importantly, the might of the Celestial Dragons emanating from the Celestial Dragon Sacred Mountain seemed to cease suppressing him at that moment. Instead, they transformed into ethereal dragon shadows, hovering around him and emitting dragon roars of surprise. The

Celestial Dragon blood within him suddenly boiled, becoming increasingly intense and scorching.

A rumbling echoed through Li Luo’s mind. He sensed that the suppression and repulsion from the Celestial Dragon Sacred Mountain had almost completely vanished, replaced by an indescribable sense of closeness.

The Celestial Dragon Sacred Mountain considered him one of its own.

Li Luo smiled and took another step. This time, his steps were incredibly light. Not only did he not feel any suppression, but on the contrary, a subtle push seemed to propel him forward.

In just a dozen breaths,

Li Luo arrived at the central stone platform of the Golden Palace in complete silence.

Boom!

As he arrived, a vast golden light suddenly erupted from the massive golden dragon pillars surrounding the Golden Palace. Within the golden light, numerous celestial dragon phantoms took shape, swooping down and transforming into drops of golden liquid, pouring down and landing entirely in the dragon cup.

In a brief moment, the cup was filled with the golden liquid.

Li Luo gazed at the golden liquid within the cup and felt his flesh and blood vibrate. A faint sense of longing washed over him. Without hesitation, he lifted the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Boom!

The Holy Mountain suddenly roared, and countless golden lights shot up from it. At that moment, countless dragons throughout the Dragon Territory sensed this and looked towards the Holy Mountain.

“Dragon pouring wine?!”

Many powerful dragons exclaimed in astonishment. The “Dragon pouring wine” ritual, unseen for thousands of years, had actually been performed by someone?

In the next instant, countless dragon roars echoed throughout the Dragon Territory, as if cheering for this distinguished guest who hadn’t appeared in a long time.

Inside the Golden Palace, after Li Luo drank the golden liquid from the Dragon Cup, he suddenly felt his flesh and blood grow scalding hot, as if a terrifying force was gathering.

However, this force, though terrifying, was like a rootless duckweed, and would not last long.

“It is a blessing power from the many dragon souls of Tianlong Holy Mountain…”

Li Luo’s mind moved, and he activated the Myriad Phase Wheel, channeling it into the central fire cauldron, temporarily storing it. This power, if used at a critical moment, might have some unexpected effect.

After doing this, Li Luo raised his head, looked at Zhen Linshuang, whose beautiful face was stiff, and raised the Dragon Cup with a smile.

“Thank you, Patriarch Zhen, this glass of wine tastes good.”
