Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1176: Li Luo Battles True Devil

The resplendent blade energy that arced across the sky swept towards the True Devil. The gloomy, white rain instantly evaporated before the tyrannical sword energy, and even the thick, black clouds of corruption were crushed into nothingness.

Similarly, the white sea of flames was also purified by the immense holy energy of the blade energy.

A single blade's descent led to the clearing of the skies.

All of the students' eyes dilated in absolute surprise. This was the first time they had seen the White Eyed True Devil's attack dismantled in a frontal clash.

Their gazes inadvertently turned towards the sky where they were greeted with the sight of Li Luo brandishing his blade whilst standing before Jiang Qing'e. Indescribably large amounts of light resonant power were pulsing off his body, making him resemble a holy god of war.

The intensity of the light resonant power had far surpassed Jiang Qing'e's hundred thousand feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram.

"Is that power coming from his spirit beast?"

"Li Luo was actually able to resist the All-Beings Devil King's attempts to erode his mind?"

"How did he achieve it?" Feng Lingyuan, Yue Zhiyu, and the rest were shocked. Li Luo possessing the ability to borrow the power of a spirit beast at the Duke Stage was no secret. However, they knew that it was not possible to use it in this space. The vice principal had warned them from the beginning that the fiendish energy that the spirit beasts possessed would attract the will of the All-Beings Devil King within the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion.

However, looking at Li Luo, it looked as though that problem had been resolved.

This caused them to feel a little taken aback. After all, it was akin to messing around with a being on a completely different plane of existence.

Jiang Qing'e was also a little startled as she looked at the back of the tall figure in front of her. His grayish-white hair was dancing in the wind as blinding light resonant power that resembled a tempestuous storm radiated from him.

A moment later, a smile appeared on her lips.

After spending a year apart, Li Luo had matured further and even gave her a sense of safety.

"Be careful," she softly warned.

Li Luo heard her and nodded. At this moment, he felt incredible. The fiendish energy from the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf had been transformed into light resonant power by the Auric Halo.

"Second-grade Duke strength."

Li Luo could also feel how strong the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf had become. After awakening from its hibernation, it was actually at the peak of the second-grade Duke Stage.

The speed of its improvement wasn't considered exceptionally fast. In fact, it had only grown stronger because it had gained a lot of benefits in the Dragon's Fang Lineage after following Li Luo for so long.

But borrowing its power still gave Li Luo some trouble. This was because he had to consume his blood essence to transform the light resonant power. If not for the mighty light resonant power that coursed through his body and its restorative properties, he might already have fainted due to the massive loss of blood essence.

However, he had no other option. If he had not done so, he could not have resisted the All-Beings Devil King's will, much less have a chance to slay the White Eyed True Devil.

Light resonant power pulsed from Li Luo's body, and it faintly condensed into flames made of light that slowly dappled in the air.

Li Luo stared at the White Eyed True Devil. He didn't bother with any superfluous words as he took a step forward. The bright light spread across the field, then he appeared before it instantly. He struck with his Dragon Elephant Blade at that instant, causing the sky to crack apart.

Overwhelming amounts of blade energy condensed and directly hacked towards the White Eyed True Devil's neck.

At the same time, corruption quickly condensed and took the form of a sickle in the White Eyed True Devil's palm, which it then swung to meet Li Luo's attack.

Clang! Clang!

In the span of a few breaths of time, countless rays of blade energy collided with the sickle, which was moving so quickly that afterimages were left behind. Every time they two weapons collided, the void shattered and the All-Beings Palace was took more damage.

The fearsome clash of weapons caused the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier students who were observing to turn pallid. If they were so much as grazed by the aftershocks, they would literally disintegrate.

What brought them joy was that Li Luo held the upper hand in the intense confrontation due to the purifying effects of his light resonant power.

Clang!

The White Eyed True Devil was forced to retreat, and the afterimages of the sickle vanished. It was growing more and more furious. The original situation where it held the absolute advantage had turned on its head, so it felt angry.

The White Eyed True Devil screamed and lumps swelled up on its body. The lumps of skin and flesh then split from his body and ascended into the air.

As the wind blew, the lumps inflated, eventually transforming into gigantic human skin lanterns.

Each lantern consisted of countless layers of pasty, white skin. Ferocious and twisted faces appeared on the lanterns, making the students feel uneasy.

A candle was then lit in each lantern.

A moment later, all of the lanterns were lit, dyeing the sky white as they made their way towards Li Luo.

Each human skin lantern then violently shrank, emanating terrifying amounts of corruption.

Li Luo's gaze turned serious as he knew how powerful the human skin lanterns were. However, he did not tarry—he raised the Dragon Elephant Blade and struck with all his strength.

As the blade fell, endless amounts of light resonant power coursed out.

This strike was different from the previous—images of countless azure elephants and golden dragons were within the light resonant power.

"Dragon and Elephant's Divine Might!"

The elephants and dragons then transformed into massive blade wheels that gave off a sacred and radiant appearance. The entire sky was filled with countless blade wheels, a magnificent sight to behold.

A moment later, the countless blade wheels shot explosively towards the lanterns. At the same time, frightening undulations of energy blanketed the world around them.

It seemed as though the sky was about to collapse, and even the world space showed signs of distortion. In the world beneath, a treasure land filled with countless spiritual mountains was revealed.

All of the students hurried and hid themselves to avoid the aftereffects. This clash also allowed Ning Meng and Wu Changkong to free themselves, and the two escaped.

Ning Meng leaped to Jiang Qing's side. Her fair cheeks had some burn marks and she was holding her mottled rod tightly.

She lifted her head and stared at the two figures who were exchanging mighty blows. Unable to stop herself from blurting out her thoughts, she said, "Little Jiang'e, your fiance seems to be pretty capable."

Her black eyes were fixed on Li Luo, who was emanating radiant light. She couldn't help but wet her lips slightly. Such dense light resonant power... it was truly intoxicating, and she truly wanted to just cling onto his back and greedily absorb it.

On the other side, Wu Changkong's expression was a little ashen as he stared at the battle unfolding above. His gaze was gloomy as he had never expected that it would be Li Luo who would go toe to toe with the True Devil.

All of the splendor he had demonstrated in the previous fight had been overshadowed by Li Luo.

"In the end, he's just borrowing external power." This was what Wu Changkong had wanted to say, but the words were stuck in his throat. He knew that it was impossible to regain face even if he did say such acrimonious words. In fact, it would only incite the anger of others.

A Duke spirit beast's strength was not something anyone could borrow. One wrong move and their mind and sanity would be corroded.

More importantly, the tricky part was doing so before the gaze of a Triple Crowned King. Li Luo had to resist the effects of corruption, and just that alone made it such that even if Wu Changkong had a similar spirit beast, he would not even dare to attempt to do the same.

Yet Li Luo was doing it before their very eyes.

As they spoke to each other, the battle in the void never stopped. The blade wheels made of light resonant power battered the human skin lanterns like a meteorite shower, causing terrifying waves of energy to course through the world.

However, a single blade wheel had managed to break through the defensive perimeter of the lanterns and flew right at the White Eyed True Devil.

The White Eyed True Devil raised its weapon and struck out towards the blade wheel in response.

Bang!

As the attacks collided, the blade wheel shattered. However, there was no majestic explosion of energy. Instead, it resulted in a flash of light as bright as the sun.

The White Eyed True Devil couldn't stand to look at the blinding light, so it closed its eyes to avoid the pain.

At the same time, it felt a sense of terrible unease, so it began to retreat yet again.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Li Luo exploded out of the surge of light with the Dragon Elephant Blade in hand. He swung it sideways, sending a beam of blade energy that was a thousand feet long towards the White Eyed True Devil's waist.

The blade light created a similar sized rift in its wake.

The White Eyed True Devil was bisected.

The lower half of its body was instantly vaporized by the tyrannical holy energy that suffused it.

The upper half of its body continued to escape. Cold wax oil was dripping from the gaping wound, and it was clear that the corruption emanating from it had weakened.

This sight caused the students to cheer in joy.

This was the first time it had been grievously injured since it appeared.

Feng Lingyuan, Yue Zhiyu, Li Hongyou, and the rest had looks of excitement. Li Luo's single strike had clearly been effective.

The situation had stabilized now, right?

Just as these thoughts entered their minds, the White Eyed True Devil let out a screeching roar and formed a seal with its hands.

A moment later, one of the four faces on its chest began to swim up its body with a look of fear.

The direction was none other than the White Eyed True Devil's head.

When the face reached the White Eyed True Devil's face, the two seemed to fuse together. No, perhaps it was more appropriate to say that the Blood Coffin Carrier's face had been devoured by the White Eyed True Devil.

The moment this happened, the bottom half of its body began to regenerate swiftly. In fact, the energy undulations coming from it had strengthened as well.

This sudden change caused the ones watching to feel a chill in their hearts.

Li Luo's eyes shrank upon seeing this, and zoomed forward. Sacred blade energy poured outwards as he renewed his offensive.

When faced with Li Luo's attacks, the White Eyed True Devil began to frantically parry the blows with its sickle as it continued to retreat. It was then that another face on its chest began to show signs of terror. Soon, it began to make its way up to the White Eyed True Devil's head as well.

Clearly, the White Eyed True Devil would receive a considerable boost in strength once it was devoured.

Before anyone noticed, however, the fourth face, Li Lingjing, came to life, stealthily devouring the third Blood Coffin Carrier's face.

If it could eat, she would eat too.
