Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1169: The Three Elites Challenge The Devil

Wu Changkong's face stiffened up as soon as he heard Jiang Qing'e's deadly warning. He laughed out dryly amidst the crowd's suspicious gazes. "It's all due to the corruption's effects. They don't represent my real feelings," he hurriedly explained.

He had not expected Jiang Qing'e's senses to be so sharp. He had merely contemplated hurting Li Luo for just a moment, and she had immediately picked up on it.

She was clearly still thinking about Li Luo despite the fierce fight before them.

Just how concerned was she for him?

At this point, Wu Changkong clenched his fists tightly. He knew that he could not entertain these thoughts any further. A golden battleax with three violet eyes materialized in his hand. Runes flowed across its surface as it was poised to strike like a majestic bull about to charge ahead.

His battle ax was a little special. Both of its blades were razor-sharp as it glinted with cold air.

This was the Heavenly Ox Gilded Battleax, Wu Changkong's most valuable treasured artifact. After he became the top student in the college, there had been very few who could force him to pull out this weapon in combat.

However, now was clearly not the time to be holding back. Otherwise, he could even lose his life here.

Wu Changkong could clearly sense how terrifying things were as he looked straight at the True Devil. Moreover, Ning Meng, and Jiang Qing'e had already revealed their Archaic Runes. If he did not show his trump cards, he would be overshadowed by them.

This was unacceptable, considering how proud of an individual he was.

Wu Changkong inhaled deeply and, like a deafening thunderclap, an ox cry exploded from the Heavenly Resonance Diagram in the air. The worldly natural energy in the surroundings trembled.

Crimson energy poured down from the sky like a torrential waterfall, and an ancient ox emerged from it. The ox dove into Wu Changkong's body directly.

At the next moment, Wu Changkong's body began to expand. The veins on his arms and body swelled up as if they were engorged pythons. His muscles began to tremble as well, emitting a terrifying force when he merely flexed them, causing the air around Wu Changkong to detonate explosively in an incessant stream.

Wu Changkong had clearly activated some kind of secret art.

Jiang Qing'e retracted her cold gaze towards him. There was a major enemy in front of them at the moment; it was not the time for her to argue with Wu Changkong. While the three of them unveiled their aces, the domineering palm with eighteen fingers created by the True Devil had completely shattered the energy pillars of the resistance.

Feng Lingyuan, Duan Mu, and Yue Zhiyu groaned as they were knocked back. f(r)eenovelkiss.com

That was when Ning Meng cried out, "It's showtime!"

She slowly spun her huge rod. Although the movement was slow, there was extremely terrifying power behind it. The void was cracked open and a shriek could be heard.

Strands of mysterious, green smoke slowly rose up from Ning Meng's rod due to the overwhelming condensation of energy. As the green smoke continued to rise into the air, it quickly filled the void behind Ning Meng. At the next moment, an enormous ancient phantom was materialized. It was similarly hefting a gigantic rod, brandishing it with a brutal but refined elegance, almost akin to a dance.

The worldly natural energy in the surroundings shuddered and deafening thunder continued to roar continuously in the sky above.

For a moment, it seemed like a giant crack had been ripped open in the sky.

Yue Zhiyu and the rest watched in shock as they saw Ning Meng sweating profusely as she continued to spin her rod. They couldn't help but stutter, "Is... is that the God Feared Rod?!" The God Feared Rod was an extremely high-level Duke Art from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. It was Destiny-grade and was just as domineering as its name suggested—it struck fear even in the hearts of gods! Moreover, this Duke Art had one of the most terrifying backlashes when utilized. It was said that one of the top students who had tried to cultivate this art in the past did not succeed and the immense pressure crippled his lower body.

Who would have thought that Ning Meng had succeeded in cultivating this art without anyone noticing?

In the sky above, Ning Meng's petite body fused with the giant phantom that was similarly brandishing a rod. The giant crack in the air expanded further as if a black dragon had descended upon this field of death.

Without a doubt, the top student of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College had revealed her true ace.

At the same moment, endless light rays surged up from Jiang Qing'e. They transformed into radiant divine pillars of light that connected the heavens and the earth.

An elegant and brilliant holy sword materialized within the light.

The holy sword was imbued with seven holy gemstones. The blade of the sword was crystal-clear and it dazzled with sacred light.

Jiang Qing'e's slender figures formed the handseals for the sword technique, and a light flashed across her golden pupils. Immense and pure light resonant power flowed out of her body like a river of holy water. When she pointed her sword towards the enemy, the brilliant holy sword flew across the void. Holy aura filled the air and cleansed all corruption in the surroundings.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light!"

Yue Zhiyu could not help but bite her lip as she witnessed Jiang Qing'e using the brilliant sword art. It was a famed Duke Art in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, known for its elegance and holiness. It had been one of her goals to master it since the first day she enrolled in the college.

This art was created by the Third School Master. However, the Third School Master had always been picky with her disciples. Ordinary students had no chance of catching her attention, and despite spending immense effort, she was only at the stage of being considered. Yet... Jiang Qing'e had already cultivated it. The Third School Master truly treated her well! Although she knew that this was not the right time for it, Yue Zhiyu could not help but feel jealous.

Wu Changkong was also awe-struck when he saw the two arts coming from Ning Meng and Jiang Qing'e. Both of them had managed to successfully cultivate Destiny-grade Duke Arts. "The two of you have given it your all. How can the Heavenly Origin Ancient College lag behind?!" Wu Changkong could not let them hog the limelight. If he did, this would surely affect his reputation in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College even after this mission had ended. Therefore, he firmly took a step forward. As his body vibrated, green light started piercing out of the pores on his skin.

As the green light radiated, Wu Changkong's strong and muscular body began to shrink a little. An emerald ox that was dozens of feet tall began to walk out of it.

The emerald ox with a single leg caused winds and thunder to appear simply by breathing. It was a truly extraordinary sight.

At this point, the battleax in Wu Changkong's grip split into two golden lights and flew towards the head of the emerald ox, forming two dark golden horns.

Wu Changkong's body continued to shrink. At the same time, the emerald ox became more and more realistic. A wild and terrifying pressure swept through the battlefield.

Bang!

Thunder boomed and the wind howled. The emerald ox turned into a ray of light and burst forth. The two dark golden horns on its head penetrated the void with indescribable sharpness. The space was sliced apart as it charged directly towards the palm with eighteen fingers.

All three elite fighters from the helm of both ancient colleges had revealed their strongest arts at this moment.

It was truly eye-opening. All the students watched in awe. They couldn't hold back their admiration as they watched the strongest Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier students fight back against the True Devil.

Duan Mu sighed and asked Feng Lingyuan, "Doesn't the Empyrean Chronicle have a record where Chu Qing from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing injured a Duke when he was at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier?"

Feng Lingyuan's eyes were fixated on the terrifying clash between both sides. She didn't even have time to blink as she replied, "He was just trying to save his own life. In the process, he injured the Duke a little. However, his escape was mainly because the other side was afraid of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qing. Besides, how some random rogue cultivator that he ran into be compared with the White Eyed True Devil, which contains a strand of will from a Triple Crowned King?"

"Seems it was a fluke, then," Duan Mu commented.

"After this battle, the three of them will surely leave their marks on the Empyrean Chronicle."

"I don't think they would mind that."

In the short span of time that the two exchanged words, the astonishing attacks from both sides clashed in front of everyone's eyes.

Energy shockwaves that were beyond description swept through the surroundings. The entire All-Beings Palace started shaking as a result. The halls in the lower areas began to crumble and turn into ashes.

All the students took cover from the aftermath in a hurry, afraid being caught up in the ruthless shockwaves.

However, their eyes were still firmly fixed on the point of impact.

The eighteen-fingered palm that was like a looming mountain of death was still releasing overwhelming amounts of corruption. Nonetheless, the combined attacks from the trio were repeatedly diminishing it.

The void in the surroundings ripped apart continuously, creating an unstable region above them.

Bang!

This stalemate did not last long. After a while, everyone's eyes lit up in delight. The combined attack from the trio finally pierced through the endless corruption and tore the palm apart.

The giant palm crumbled before their eyes.

However, that was not the end of the trio's combined attack. After the giant palm was reduced ashes, the trio's attack flew through the air like lightning. It arced straight towards the White Eyed True Devil for the kill.

They had made full use of this chance for their counterattack.

The pale eyes of the White Eyed True Devil blinked violently. The trio's combined attack was clearly beyond its expectations.

It stepped back rapidly. At the same time, white beams of light shot out of its eyes. Whenever the white lights passed, the air vibrated and transformed into countless pouches of skin.

The skins piled together and turned into a pale human-skin shield.

Unfortunately, the shield was created too hastily. Ning Meng, Jiang Qing'e, and Wu Changkong had launched attacks with their full power. A few moments later, the human skin shield exploded. Three fearsome attacks pierced through it and then directly penetrated the White Eyed True Devil's body.

The vicious and terrifying wound left on the White Eyed True Devil's body began to spread across its entirety.

Bang!

Its enormous body was thrown back into the palace instantly by the sheer force of the attack, destroying the surroundings as the rubble buried it.

It was only at this moment that the wild worldly natural energy in the surroundings slowly subsided.

All the students watched the clash in a daze. Loud cheers erupted shortly after.

Eyes of admiration looked adoringly towards the three figures in the air. With their Greater Heavenly Resonance strength, they had managed to push back a True Devil as well as injure it. Such an amazing feat was surely worthy of being added into the Empyrean Chronicle!
