Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1730

Chapter 1727 Goodbye Lu Qing’er

“Five peak-level Triple Crowns?”

Li Luo’s expression grew solemn upon hearing Qi Huang’s words. This meant that the Dark World had previously possessed twice as many peak-level Triple Crowns as the Ten Great Divine States.

No wonder Qi Huang had previously harbored concerns about the impending decisive battle.

While he had seized the opportunity to suppress and seal the “Devil King of Desire and Sin,” it had only slightly eased the pressure. As for the top power of both sides, there had been no decisive shift.

After all… The Guiyi Association possessed a power no less powerful than Qi Huang, the Zhuyin Pluto.

When the decisive battle for the “Withered and Flourishing Phase” began, the Guiyi Association, the cancer of the Divine State, would undoubtedly participate. After all, the Zhuyin Pluto still coveted Li Luo’s Myriad Phase Seed.

Therefore, overall, the Ten Great Divine States remained at a significant disadvantage.

“Although we’re still at a disadvantage, our setup was quite successful this time. Not only did we seal the ‘Devil King of Delight and Lust,’ but most importantly, Alliance Leader Li Luo has achieved the Dragon Ancestral Body. With your current combat prowess, if you put all your efforts into it, you should be able to contain one of the Ten Demon Kings.”

“So, in that sense, you’re the sixth ‘Ultimate Peak Triple Crown’ among our Ten Divine Continents,” Qi Huang said with a smile.

Li Luo shrugged helplessly. Even with that calculation, it was still quite far off.

“Actually, there’s another way to reverse the situation,” Qi Huang suddenly said.

“What is it?” Li Luo and Zhen Linshuang looked curiously.

Qi Huang smiled and said, “If either Alliance Leader Li Luo or Your Excellency the Goddess can reach the Unparalleled Ninth Rank before the final battle, then the entire situation can be easily resolved.”

A single Unparalleled Ninth Rank being born could be enough to suppress several Ultimate Peak Triple Crowns. That would truly be a single-handed effort to turn the tide.

Li Luo gave a wry smile, and Zhen Linshuang beside him shook her head in disappointment.

The higher one’s level, the more profoundly difficult it becomes to achieve the Unparalleled Ninth Rank. This is especially true for Li Luo. He now appears to have reached the peak of the Unparalleled Eighth Rank, even forging the Dragon Ancestral Body, placing him just one step away from the Ninth Rank. Yet, even now, he still feels an insurmountable chasm between him and the Unparalleled Ninth Rank.

That step is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

After all, even Qi Huang, a renowned leader of the Ten Divine States, stopped at this very step.

As they spoke, the distant void trembled, and a torrent of silver frost sword light swept out. Lü Taiyi and Lü Qing’er, riding on the sword light, burst through the air.

“Master Lu, thank you for your trouble,” Qi Huang greeted him, cupping his fists in gratitude.

If it weren’t for Lü Taiyi’s intervention to stop the “Hungry Demon King,” he might not have been able to successfully seal the “Death Demon King” despite the interference of the “Death Demon King.” After all, at this level, there are simply too many ways to escape.

Moreover, due to Lu Taiyi’s longevity and immense seniority, Qi Huang held him in high regard.

Li Luo also clasped his fists in greeting, though his gaze couldn’t help but flicker to Lu Qing’er, standing behind Lu Taiyi.

Zhen Linshuang, as arrogant as ever, merely nodded casually, a greeting. Deeply rooted in the theory of bloodline, she held anyone not of the Celestial Dragon bloodline in contempt.

“Haha, King of Light, you’re too polite. Now, the various factions of the Ten Divine Continents are all intertwined. Even if this aging body of mine can only contribute to the Ten Divine Continents, even if it means my own death, it will be a worthy death,” Lu Taiyi replied with a chuckle. The old man exuded an aloof and amiable air, a quality that likely enabled him to outlast countless brilliant peers.

After all, without fighting, there were no surprises.

Sometimes, simply surviving is a unique gift.

Then he turned his gaze to Li Luo and said with a smile, “This is Li Luo, right? Your name is very famous in our Jinlong Mountain.”

There was a special meaning in his words.

Li Luo was also stunned. Is his name very famous in Jinlong Mountain?

“Hehe, in Jinlong Mountain, all the clans say that the “acquired primordial seed” of my Lu clan was forced out by you.” Lu Taiyi said with a smile.

“Acquired primordial seed?”

Li Luo was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered something and said with some shock, “Qing’er’s Ice Holy Seed has evolved into an acquired primordial seed?”

Between Lü Qing’er’s eyebrows, a mysterious and mystical frost pattern condensed, faintly resembling a frost lotus, emitting an icy aura capable of freezing everything in the world.

The oscillations, ancient and primordial, truly possessed the allure of a primordial seed!

Furthermore, Li Luo could sense that Lü Qing’er’s strength had increased dramatically in the seven years since they last saw each other. According to his perception, she was now at the peak of the Unparalleled Seventh Rank.

This terrifying improvement would make sense if it were due to the evolution of a “primordial seed.”

However, Li Luo felt a complex mix of emotions. After all, in a sense, Lü Qing’er had chosen to inherit the Sacred Ice Seed, thereby sealing off her emotions, because of him.

When Li Luo looked at Lu Qing’er, the latter’s eyes also shot towards him. When their eyes met, Lu Qing’er nodded slightly and took the initiative to speak softly: “Li Luo, long time no see, how are you?” It

was clearly a greeting after a long separation, but it made Li Luo’s expression froze slightly. He could feel that there was no emotion in Lu Qing’er’s words. The look she gave him was filled with ice-cold calmness.

It was as if in her eyes, Li Luo at this moment was no different from anyone else.

Li Luo gazed at Lu Qing’er’s face, breathtakingly beautiful yet icy, like a thousand years of black ice. The lively smile that once graced it was completely gone. He remained silent for a few breaths, then sighed softly, “Qing’er, long time no see.”

Facing Lu Qing’er’s unfamiliar gaze, Li Luo didn’t know how to address her. He turned to Qi Huang and asked, “What about Xuanyin Hades and Ao Yan?”

“Ao Yan is the Dragon Clan’s great elder, so leave him to Clan Leader Zhen. I’ll take Xuanyin Hades away and see if I can gain some of Guiyi Society’s secrets.” Qi Huang thought for a moment and said.

Li Luo nodded, unobjectionable.

“This time, we were able to seal the ‘Demon King of Desire’ and Xuanyin Hades. Ao Yan, Alliance Leader Li Luo, has made a tremendous contribution. Our Shenzhou Society cannot fail to express its gratitude, so I present you with a gift as a token of my appreciation.” Qi Huang extended his hand, and a jade box inscribed with numerous ancient runes appeared in his palm, which he handed to Li Luo.

Li Luo took it, and the jade box opened automatically. He then saw a crystal bottle resting quietly within. Within the crystal bottle, a ray of dark golden divine light seemed to be sealed.

The divine light meandered, as if possessing an unimaginable spirituality and an indescribable purity. Just observing it with the n*ked eye evoked a sense of spiritual clarity.

Li Luo could sense the myriad attributes within him surging and boiling with activity. A sudden inspiration

struck him, and he exclaimed with some shock, “Is this… a ninth-grade spiritual water light?!”

Only a spiritual water light of this caliber could hold such a spell even Li Luo possessed.

Qi Huang nodded slightly and said, “This is a copy of the Upper Ninth Grade ‘Golden Spirit Divine Light.’ While there aren’t many of these treasures in the Shenzhou Association, given your achievements this time, I think no one would question giving it to you.”

“Thank you, Master Qi Huang,”

Li Luo rejoiced. His biggest flaw was his current position at the Middle Ninth Grade Wood and Earth Phase, which was preventing him from achieving perfection. Therefore, the Upper Ninth Grade Spiritual Water Wonder Light was the treasure he most desired.

“But one copy is still a little short. If I had ten, perhaps I could evolve my Middle Ninth Grade Wood and Earth Phase to the Upper Ninth Grade. Master Qi Huang, wouldn’t you want to try your luck with me?” Li Luo took the jade box and spoke again in a persuasive tone.

Qi Huang smiled wryly and said, “Not to mention that the Shenzhou Association can’t produce ten copies of the ‘Upper Ninth Grade Spiritual Water Wonder Light.’ Even if they could, they’d have to follow the rules to avoid causing unrest.” His coaxing proved

fruitless, and Li Luo could only shake his head regretfully.

“You want the Ninth Grade Spiritual Water and Miraculous Light?” At this moment, Zhen Linshuang beside him suddenly asked.

Li Luo glanced at her and said, “Why? You want to give it to me?”

Zhen Linshuang sneered and said, “Give it to you? You’re dreaming.”

She paused, but added, “But we can make a deal.”

“What deal?”

Zhen Linshuang’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of shame seemed to emerge in her proud eyes, but she still said boldly: “You and I have the most perfect Tianlong bloodline. If you are willing to leave your bloodline in my Tianlong clan, I can decide and give you two copies of the Ninth Grade Spiritual Water and Miraculous Light that my dragon clan has treasured.” As soon as

these words came out, not only Li Luo was stunned, but even Qi Huang and Lu Taiyi beside him could not help but become excited.

This Zhen Linshuang, worthy of being a dragon clan member, acted and spoke so wildly…

What does this mean? She wants to borrow Li Luo’s seed?!
