Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1740

Chapter 1737: Gathering Tianyuan, facing the decisive battle

In the central Tianyuan Divine Continent, the Tianxing Plains.

Lingxiang Cave Heaven is the location.

Ever since the aura of “Withering and Flourishing Phase” leaked from Lingxiang Cave Heaven, this region has become the most central precinct of the Ten Divine Continents. Led by the Divine Continent Association, various alliances have poured their might into deploying terrifying formations throughout this region .

The indigenous Heavenly King-level forces of the Tianyuan Divine Continent have also established strong defenses here.

It is precisely because of these defenses that the ghost demons, which have wreaked havoc for years, have been unable to extend their reach into this area.

Now, this region has become the focus of countless beings across the Ten Divine Continents.

For it is here that a devastating decisive battle will unfold, determining the fate of the Ten Divine Continents. Here,

the Ten Divine Continents and the Dark World will clash with all their might!

In the center of the plain, towering man-made mountains rise from the ground, a vast radiant rainbow of energy woven together like a terrifying formation, covering the sky.

At this moment, countless beams of light shuttled back and forth between heaven and earth, creating a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Atop a central mountain, imposing figures stood. It was the oppressive presence emanating from these figures that reassured the armies of the various factions across the land.

At the forefront, a towering figure commanded the most attention. Its eyes were like the brilliant sun, and behind it shone an endless radiance, a temple looming within.

The King of Light, Qi Huang!

As the current head of the Shenzhou Association, Qi Huang was undoubtedly the true leader of the Ten Divine States. Alliances and elite individuals alike held him in deep reverence and respect.

Over the past few years, under Qi Huang’s leadership and coordination, a flood of new kings had emerged from the Ten Divine States, greatly strengthening their foundation.

Qi Huang stood atop the mountain. He raised his head and gazed upon the void of the Tianxing Plain. He saw signs of ruptures in the space, and traces of the once-vanished Spiritual Cave Heaven had reappeared from within the shattered void.

But the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven that appeared this time was vastly different from previous ones.

Previously, it had served as a training ground for the younger generation of Tianyuan Shenzhou. But this time, the energy fluctuations emanating from it were so intense that even Qi Huang felt a suffocating pressure.

All of this was due to the release of two extremely special energies from within the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven.

These two energies radiated from the depths of the void rift, spanning north and south.

A million miles south of the Tianxing Plain, the world was teeming with vitality. Wherever that energy passed, lush forests spread, bones regenerated flesh, and severed limbs regrew.

A million miles to the north, however, all matter withered, as if all life had been extinguished.

This was… withering and flourishing!

“It truly is the Withering and Flourishing Phase. Its power is even greater than the ‘Wind and Fire Phase’ that had previously appeared in Daxia.” Qi Huang gazed into the depths of the shattered void, his expression growing solemn.

Only the legendary sect master could achieve this, preserving his own innate qualities for millennia.

Clearly, this “Withering and Flourishing Phase” also gave birth to a divine fruit.

Fortunately, the Ten Heavenly Kings of the Divine Realm were unable to manifest at this moment, otherwise the Dark World’s Great Demon King would have descended with reckless abandon, catapulting the “Reunion War” to a fever pitch.

“No matter what, this divine fruit, Withering and Flourishing Phase, must not fall into the hands of the Dark World and the Guiyi Society. Otherwise, once the Ten Years of Heavenly Destiny are over, the Heavenly Kings of the Ten Divine Realms will face even greater pressure.” Qi Huang took a deep breath, his gaze growing sharper.

He raised his head and gazed in all directions. He could sense reinforcements from other Divine Realms rapidly approaching.

However, on the distant western border of Tianyuan Divine Realm, a terrifying malevolent aura was also gathering. Within that thick, inky source of malevolence, Qi Huang sensed auras that even he had to contend with with all his might.

“The Nine Evil Demon Kings have all arrived, haven’t they?… The evil thoughts there are already raging. It’s likely they’ll soon converge into a destructive force and begin advancing towards the Tianxing Plain.”

Qi Huang’s expression was solemn. Judging from their overall strength, the Dark World held a clear advantage. This time, if the Ten Divine Continents tried to stop them from seizing the “Withered and Flourishing Phase,” they would surely pay a heavy price.

As Qi Huang pondered, streaks of light streaked across the distant sky.

“Master Qi Huang, my Li Tianwang lineage has utilized the Sky-Shifting Technique to relocate the Five Veins’ main mountain to the northwest defense line ahead. The clan’s protective formation has been activated.” The first group of figures to arrive was led by Li Tianji of the Li Tianwang lineage.

Behind him were familiar figures:

Li Qingying, Li Jinjiao, and Li Xuanwu, the three lineage leaders.

Most surprising of all, they were followed by Li Qingpeng and Li Jiluo. Judging from the energy emanating from their bodies, they had clearly reached the level of First Crown Champions.

“Master Qihuang, our lineage of Heavenly King Qin has also relocated its headquarters hall. The protective formation has been activated, and we will be commanding the southeastern defense!” Another wave of imposing figures swept in, accompanied by a clear, soft voice.

The arrival was a graceful figure, a breathtakingly beautiful face, and flowing hair, like a fairy in the water.

It was Qin Yi, of Heavenly King Qin’s lineage.

“Haha, and our lineage of Heavenly King Zhu! We have moved the mountain to the designated location as planned!” A thunderous roar of laughter echoed, and the void shattered as several skeletal figures emerged from the void.

The leader was the most frail, draped in a yellow robe, his eyes piercing like lightning. Atop his head, a towering, vast, three-layered crown emerged, absorbing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth.

His name was Zhu Chongming, the current leader of Heavenly King Zhu’s lineage.

“The lineage of Heavenly King Zhao has arrived!” Immediately afterward, a resounding phoenix cry echoed. Amidst the swirling stars, several figures appeared across the starry sky. The leader, draped in a star robe, with flowing white hair and a white ruler in hand, was

none other than Zhao Huaijin, a member of the lineage of Heavenly King Zhao. All four of the native Heavenly King lineages of Tianyuan Shenzhou appeared.

Qi Huang bowed to the four groups and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you all for your cooperation.”

To establish this defensive line, Qi Huang had relocated the headquarters of the Tianyuan Shenzhou’s native Heavenly King lineages, intending to utilize their clan protection formations as a defensive line.

However, this relocation will cause considerable damage to the Four Heavenly Kings’ veins. When the time comes, the clan protection formation will be torn and broken, and the accumulation of thousands of years in the mountains will be destroyed. But the four major veins finally chose to agree to Qi Huang’s plan. After all, the venue of this decisive battle is in Tianyuan Shenzhou. If the coalition forces fail at that time and the dark world erodes, the entire Tianyuan Shenzhou will become a dead place. At that time, the so-called sect foundation will be meaningless.

Therefore, not only did the Four Heavenly Kings choose to burn their boats, but even the other top forces also poured their all into strengthening this final line of defense against the dark world’s attack.

In response to Qi Huang’s thanks, Li Tianji, Qin Yi, Zhu Chongming, and Zhao Huaijin all hurriedly saluted.

Li Tianji said with admiration, “We can only do our humble part. To stop the dark world’s invasion, we still need Qi Huang to lead the charge.”

Qi Huang couldn’t help but laugh. “Head of the Tianji Clan, please stop flattering me. If I had the power to determine the fate of the universe, why would I be so overwhelmed?”

“If we really want to determine the fate of the universe, you might as well count on someone from your family.”

“If he can succeed, the pressure on my Ten Divine States will be greatly relieved.”

Li Tianji’s expression changed, and he said, “Is that Li Luo? I haven’t heard from him for a long time.”

Qi Huang’s smile faded slightly, and he said with some complexity, “He’s in seclusion in Jinlong Mountain, striving for the unparalleled ninth rank.”

At these words, Li Tianji, Qin Yi, Zhu Chongming, Zhao Xuanjin, and the others were all shocked. Qin Yi, in particular, pursed her red lips, and the image of that handsome young man flashed through her mind. After so many years, he had actually reached this level?

Unparalleled ninth rank…

If he could achieve this, wouldn’t Li Luo become the strongest among the Ten Divine States? And in this decisive battle, the disadvantages of the Ten Divine States would be greatly offset.

“Can Xiao Luo make it?” It was Li Qingpeng who spoke. This uncle had also reached the King Realm, following Li Jiluo like a shadow, much to the latter’s dismay.

Qi Huang remained silent for several breaths before saying, “I don’t know either.”

Perhaps no one in this world knew better than him how difficult it was to achieve the Unparalleled Ninth Rank.

Li Luo was a Myriad Aspects Clan, possessing five Aspect Palaces and ten Aspects. It was said that all had now evolved to the Upper Ninth Rank. With such a foundation, he was certainly qualified to aspire for the Unparalleled Ninth Rank.

But Qi Huang couldn’t say for sure whether he would ultimately succeed.

“Haha, Qi Huang, our Academy Alliance has also arrived to fight!”

At that moment, a mighty voice resounded through the heavens and earth. A vast, primordial force swept across the heavens and earth, ripping the void apart, and a myriad of light and shadows pierced the air.

At the head of the myriad of light and shadows, a majestic figure, like a deep, lofty mountain, ascended through the air. It was a peak-level Triple Crown Champion!

The Dean of the Tianyuan Ancient Academy, Wang Xuanjin!

Behind Wang Xuanjin stood Ling Xuan, the Grand Dean of the Holy Light Ancient Academy, and Xiao Lingzhu, the Grand Dean of the Mysterious Spirit Ancient Academy. Both were Triple Crown Champions.

Further behind them stood all the King-level masters of the Academy Alliance. This time, this transcendent power unleashed its full might.

“The Dragon Clan, bring all your tribes, to battle!”

At that moment, another void shattered, and a terrifying dragon roar echoed. The roars of countless beasts reverberated throughout the heavens and earth. A sharp and commanding female voice, woven into the dragon’s roar, echoed across the Tianyuan Divine Continent.

From the shattered void, a tall, voluptuous woman, clad in golden armor and wielding a heavy halberd, emerged from the air. The terrifying pressure of a celestial dragon swept across the heavens and earth like a tidal wave. It was Zhen Linshuang.

Her beautiful face remained radiant with pride, and her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, as if searching for a figure.

Behind her, numerous beast kings roared and charged out, their ferocious might unleashing their might.

What was most astonishing was that among the many kings, a golden figure flapped its wings and pierced the air. The emanating energy was no less powerful than Zhen Linshuang’s, drawing awe from the eyes of the many Beast Kings.

It was a Golden-Winged Roc, a supreme Triple Crown King!

Wherever its wings swept, even space was easily ripped apart, and with a flutter of its feathers, it could soar tens of thousands of miles.

Light King Qi Huang had previously stated that the Ten Divine Continents possessed five supreme Triple Crown Kings, and this ancient Golden-Winged Roc before them was one of them!

However, Zhen Linshuang and the Golden-Winged Roc were at some distance, and they had not even exchanged glances. This was due to the deep grudge between the Dragon Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc. Normally, their encounters were a deadly duel, and only before the decisive battle that hinged on the survival of the Ten Divine Continents would they appear together.

With the arrival of these powerful forces, the countless powerful beings across the Tianxing Plains were filled with excitement, erupting in earth-shaking cheers.

Qi Huang smiled, cupped his fists, and said loudly, “Sorry for the long wait!”

He also looked in other directions, sensing that the energy between heaven and earth was becoming increasingly restless, with increasingly powerful fluctuations, rushing towards them at full speed.

The entire power of the Ten Divine Continents was rushing here.

Therefore, soon after, a continuous rumbling sound of the void could be heard above the Tianxing Plain.

Cracks, like massive portals, continuously emerged in the sky.

As these portal-like spatial cracks emerged, earth-shattering sounds suddenly echoed like thunder.

“Thunderfire Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Cangming Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Wanfeng Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“White Spirit Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Midnight Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Central Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Xuanling Divine Continent, come to fight!”

“Shenyang Divine Continent, come to fight!”

Every time a thunderous shout echoed, an army emanating vast waves of primordial energy burst through the space portals and hovered in the sky.

This was the combined power of all the major divine continents!

When the last space portal opened, a stunningly beautiful figure, twelve wings of light spread out from behind, slowly emerged, holding a Holy Phoenix Umbrella.

This primordial light, even more sacred than that of Light King Qi Huang, immediately attracted the attention of the top powerhouses from the other major divine continents.

Under the astonished gazes of so many, the goddess-like figure, her red lips slightly parted, and a calm, fearless, and clear voice resounded.

“Eastern Divine Land, come and fight!”

These shouts resounded mightily throughout every corner of Tianyuan Divine Land.

Countless beings excitedly raised their heads at this moment, gazing towards the Tianxing Plains, their blood seemingly boiling hot.

This battle, magnificent!
