Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1735

Chapter 1732: Fighting against the Two Holy Species

. “Begin,”

Li Luo said. Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan nodded. They fixed their gazes on Li Luo and warned, “Alliance Leader Li Luo, the power of our two Sacred Seeds has long been deeply connected to the prosperity and aura of Jinlong Mountain. Therefore, during this ceremony imbued with prosperity and aura, our Sacred Seeds will receive immense blessings. If you are unable to endure it, escort Qing’er and quickly exit the ceremony to prevent damage to the Primordial Seed.”

All three veins of Jinlong Mountain’s three Sacred Seeds were devoting their utmost effort to their evolution. However, until now, only the Lü Vein’s Ice Sacred Seed, thanks to a unique ten years of heavenly luck and its unprecedented compatibility with Lü Qing’er, had evolved into an Acquired Primordial Seed.

Everyone understood that the continued prosperity of Jinlong Mountain depended on this Acquired Primordial Seed.

Therefore, even though the Zhang and Qian lineages knew this ceremony would undermine the power of the two sacred species, neither the two Heavenly Kings nor the many high-ranking members of each lineage showed any reluctance or resistance, but instead fully cooperated.

Firstly, this was a principle agreed upon since the founding of the three lineages: whichever lineage’s sacred species evolved first into a Primordial Seed, the other two lineages would be required to fully cooperate. Secondly

, Jinlong Mountain had been established for over a thousand years. During this long period, the three lineages had undoubtedly experienced many disputes and frictions, but ultimately they had maintained absolute unity on major issues and acted in unison. This was one of the key reasons for Jinlong Mountain’s continued prosperity.

Therefore, Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan’s warning was also a warning to Li Luo not to worry about them harboring resentment and tampering with the ceremony.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo nodded slightly, his body secretly relaxing a bit. After all, he had just witnessed Ao Yan betray Zhen Linshuang and dealt her a severe blow in the Dragon Clan, so he couldn’t help but worry that the Guiyi Society might be involved within Golden Dragon Mountain. However, at the moment, Golden Dragon Mountain’s status as a transcendent Heavenly King-level power, second only to the Academic Alliance among the Ten Divine Continents, was indeed unique.

Boom!

During the ceremony, shaped by the golden torrent, the two sacred seeds above Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan’s heads began to shine brighter and brighter, and vast primordial power continuously surged out.

Countless golden rays began to intertwine within the golden torrent, connecting the copper coin altars beneath the four people within it, forming an extremely large and vast ritual formation.

This formation even connected to the golden dragon that carried Golden Dragon Mountain.

The ritual began!

At this moment, an invisible yet powerful force emerged from the ritual, stripping away the power of the “Sacred Seed of Moon” and the “Sacred Seed of Thunder,” directing it toward the copper coin altar where Lü Qing’er stood.

The mysterious, shimmering seed between Lü Qing’er’s radiant brows rapidly absorbed the power of the two sacred seeds. As it absorbed, subtle traces of icy light gradually emerged from the shimmering seed.

The ritual initially proceeded smoothly, but as more and more power was stripped away, it finally touched upon the spiritual essence of the two sacred seeds.

Boom!

In an instant, the previously gentle sacred seeds erupted into a violent rage. Sacred seeds possessed spirituality and refused to sacrifice their own strength to nourish any other being, even a primordial one.

The bright moon above Zhang Lingsu’s head suddenly became exceptionally dazzling. Its once gentle glow suddenly became cold and sharp, transforming into billions of rays of primordial moonlight, slashing towards Lü Qing’er’s position.

The same thing happened on Qian Yan’s side. The silver “thunder ball” instantly turned pitch black, and within the black lightning, a destructive aura flowed.

Like the Thunder God’s halberd, the black lightning shattered the void and struck Lu Qing’er.

A murderous intent suddenly surged, filling the starry sky.

Outside the ritual formation, Lu Sui, observing this scene, couldn’t help but feel a sense of trepidation. The two sacred seeds had now practically merged with Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan, and their attacks combined the combined power of both.

Though Lu Qing’er was at the peak of the Unparalleled Seventh Rank, it was difficult for her to withstand the combined might of two sacred seeds and two peak Triple Crowns.

Beside Lu Sui, Lu Taiyi emerged. This elder, currently the most powerful warrior in Golden Dragon Mountain, looked solemn and asked, “Can Li Luo truly withstand this?”

It seemed Lu Taiyi was ready to terminate the ritual at any moment to protect Lu Qing’er.

“I don’t know. I can only do my best,” Lu Sui said gravely.

As the two spoke, Li Luo took a step forward, instantly transforming from human form into a celestial dragon. His ancestral dragon body activated, and a mysterious aura flowed from its purple-gold scales. The ancient, straight dragon horns on its forehead, in particular, radiated an unparalleled sharpness that could pierce heaven and earth.

Li Luo’s celestial dragon appeared directly outside Lu Qing’er’s altar, its body coiling and protecting her within.

The mighty, cold moonlight and overwhelming black thunder descended upon Li Luo’s celestial dragon form, creating a sharp, metallic clang. Each collision tore through the very void.

However, Li Luo’s celestial dragon form displayed terrifying defensive power. Even the frenzied attacks of the two sacred species, harnessed by Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan, were unable to penetrate its defenses.

This astonishing strength shocked even Lu Taiyi and Lu Sui.

“What a powerful celestial dragon form! It can withstand the attacks of two sacred species?” Lu Sui exclaimed in amazement.

“That’s no ordinary celestial dragon body, but the legendary Dragon Ancestral Body. This is the most powerful celestial dragon form, a rare opportunity Li Luo has gained this time among the dragon clan. With this Dragon Ancestral Body, even I, an old man, would find it difficult to seriously injure him in a short time.” Lu Taiyi sighed.

“He’s actually beginning to be able to compete with a peak-level Triple Crown Champion like you,” Lu Sui said with a somewhat complicated expression.

“This kid Li Luo truly possesses unparalleled talent. His future achievements are unimaginable.” Lu Taiyi stroked his graying beard and said, “Qing’er’s vision is quite impressive. It’s said that she fell in love with Li Luo when he was still an empty phase. What a pity…”

If Lu Qing’er could forge a friendship with Li Luo, the relationship between Jinlong Mountain and the currently flourishing Li Tianwang lineage would be further strengthened.

Lu Sui said helplessly, “Li Luo already has someone he loves and is engaged. Qing’er chose to use the Holy Ice Seed to seal off her feelings because she doesn’t want to interfere. So let’s respect her choice.”

Lu Taiyi nodded. At this point, there was really no choice but to give up. He then changed the subject, saying, “Li Luo’s Dragon Ancestral Body can withstand the attacks of the two Holy Seeds, buying Qing’er enough time. However, while the Dragon Ancestral Body’s defenses are strong, if the two Holy Seeds begin to exploit the aura of wealth and nobility within the ritual, even the Dragon Ancestral Body might not be able to withstand it.”

The aura of wealth and nobility of Golden Dragon Mountain is a form of heavenly destiny. Golden Dragon Mountain has amassed the world’s wealth for thousands of years, and today’s ritual has just activated it. This is the most terrifying part.

Lu Sui sighed. It was indeed difficult, because the ritual’s original guardian was a Heavenly King…

Now, Li Luo, a peak-level Unparalleled Eighth-Rank cultivator, was practically being asked to do the work of a Heavenly King. How could this be easy?

Boom!

As the two spoke, the two holy species sensed their attacks had been completely repelled, yet the ritual continued to sap their power. They immediately grew increasingly violent. Under the influence of the holy species, Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan’s expressions turned bitter.

Having merged for centuries, the two sides had long since become inseparable. Even as they tried their best to suppress the holy species’ unrest, their instincts, drawn to good fortune and avoided danger, still strove to prevent the ritual from proceeding.

Ultimately, the two holy species unleashed the aura of prosperity that permeated the ritual. Their power roared through, and golden light began to spread. Within the golden light, the myriad scenes of the marketplace emerged. Wisps of prosperity, accompanied by the transfer of countless goods, ultimately flowed towards Golden Dragon Mountain.

The scales of the celestial dragon transformed by Li Luo were pierced by the golden light, eroding them until they were gradually reduced to ash.

In an instant, flesh and skin ripped open, and purple-gold dragon blood flowed like a bloody rain.

And below the serpentine dragon, on the copper coin altar, Lu Qing’er raised her pretty face, the boiling hot dragon blood falling on her fair skin, which was as white as snow and frost. The scorching heat made her rosy lips purse slightly.
