Chapter 0788 – The Third Realm
Bang!
The ominous Underworld River"s Black Dragon"s draconic roar reverberated throughout the area. It was not the same as the previous times Li Luo had heard it, as there seemed to be a hint of spirituality to it now.
This was a black dragon that had come to life.
The black dragon swiped with its claw, producing a claw light that tore apart the void in its wake. Viscous, black water flowed forth from the crack and shrouded the claw like an armament. At the same time, the black water turned into a series of whirlpools that entangled and restricted anything they came into contact with. Additionally, the water possessed an overbearing corrosive nature that would erode everything it pa.s.sed through.
The ma.s.sive Enigmatic Ocean Parting Ray then collided with the claw manifestation and the black water around it.
At that very moment, the void in the area was completely distorted by the terrifying amounts of energy that exploded in every direction.
However, the almighty Enigmatic Ocean Parting Ray did not manage to pierce past the unstoppable momentum this time—it was forced to a halt by the black dragon"s claw.
The black dragon water continued to surge forth without end and corroded the ray of light completely.
When both sides saw this development, there was an indescribable change in their emotions.
On the Green Nether Banner"s side, the members were completely stunned. This sight was unbelievable to their eyes. There was a gigantic gap between the two sides" strengths, and deep down, they had only expected themselves to roll over in defeat before these domineering opponents. Who would have expected the indomitable attack launched by Lu Qingmei to be blocked?
By the looks of things, their side even held the advantage!
Zhao Yanzhi, Li Shi, and Mu Bi glanced at each other, feeling like this was incomprehensible. It was not as though this was the first time they had seen Li Luo demonstrate his Duke Art. However, the black dragon before them today clearly seemed qualitatively different.
Could it be that Li Luo had cultivated his Duke Art to the next level in this short span of time?
"Did he reach the stage of Greater Completion?"
At the same time, Lu Qingmei"s brows gradually turned into a frown. With the opponent"s strength, the Duke Art that was used should not have been able to suppress her Enigmatic Ocean Parting Ray. The only explanation was that Li Luo had reached the realm of Greater Completion.
If that were the case, it would mean that Li Luo"s comprehension abilities with resonance arts was simply a little too monstrous. Learning a Duke Art was naturally within the reach of a genius. However, whether it was her or Li Qingfeng from the Gold Blood Banner, they had only reached the stage of Lesser Completion. A look of interest flashed through Lu Qingmei"s eyes.
If Li Luo were to one day step into the Fiend Body Tier, he would truly become a worthy opponent that would attract her interest. As these thoughts ran through her mind, the clash in the sky concluded. Her Enigmatic Ocean Parting Ray had been corroded and dissipated, whereas the mighty, black dragon roared triumphantly. It then rushed towards the first division of the Holy Scale Banner in a flash of black light.
It was time for Li Luo"s counter attack.
As the black dragon pierced through the skies, surrounded by the inky and frigid water, it directly barrelled towards Lu Qingmei.
Lu Qingmei observed the mighty dragon, but her expression was composed. She then quickly formed a series of hand seals.
Pssht!
As the black dragon opened its maw, one could see it spew pitch-black water that then formed a chilly, black river that directly swamped towards Lu Qingmei like a deluge.
The black water surged onwards without respite, seemingly containing a vortex that continued to peel and melt away every bit of resonant power in its vicinity.
Li Luo"s gaze was focused upon that very location, a frown forming on his face.
He could feel that in the midst of the black river was an undulation of energy that was akin to a boulder, unshakeable and indestructible.
Even the corrosive water could not weaken it in the slightest.
The black water eventually dissipated after a period of time.
Li Luo could see a motionless shadow within.
Lu Qingmei was still grasping the mottled and cracked gla.s.s rod, but there was a difference this time. She was now fully clad in a suit of armor.
The armor looked like it was forged from the scales of a dragon. It was not oversized but snugly wrapped around her delicate body, revealing her slender and graceful curves.
Atop the scales seemed to be mysterious runes of light that absorbed the worldly natural energy around them.
With the gla.s.s rod in her hand and adorned with a suit of dragonscale armor, Lu Qingmei looked like a G.o.ddess of war.
One that instilled fear in their enemies.
Li Luo then recognized what it was.
This was no treasured artifact, but the Dragon"s Scale Lineage"s Duke Art.

It was known as the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor Art.
Although Li Luo had managed to achieve an advancement in his understanding of dual resonances, his opponent still outcla.s.sed him in terms of strength. She could not be underestimated.
Lu Qingmei was not like Li Tong. She was a peak genius of this generation"s youths in the Heavenly Dragon"s Five Lineages and she possessed the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art just like Li Luo. Even though Li Luo had three resonances, she had a quasi ninth-grade one. Just as Li Luo had a Duke Art, so too did she.
Thus, for Li Luo to eke out a true victory in this situation was just idle imagination.
So he shook his head and smiled. "Banner Leader Lu Qingmei, you are simply too mighty. I admit defeat."
He still possessed the strength to battle, but there was no need to eke out every last ounce of his strength. It would not change the result, and this was not some sort of life and death battle. It was just a periodic battle between banners.
On the other hand, the Green Nether Banner"s fifth division did not feel depressed upon hearing Li Luo"s words. Being able to obtain such a result when faced with a clearly superior opponent was already a reason for celebration.
The fact that the Holy Scale Banner members had complicated expressions on their faces was proof that they had already outperformed expectations. After all, Li Luo had forced Lu Qingmei to utilize her Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor Art, which was completely unbelievable.
When Lu Qingmei heard Li Luo"s words, she maintained her usual calm, only c.o.c.king her eyes towards the still burning stick of incense. "Don"t you want to persist for a while longer?"
Li Luo grinned. "If the opportunity arises in the future, I will seek you out for a lesson, Banner Leader Lu. You have already been quite merciful towards us. Alas, we are just not strong enough and we have no confidence that we can resist for much longer."
After which, he waved his hand, and the s.p.a.ce around him rippled. Countless beams of light descended and shrouded each and every one of the members of the fifth division, directly teleporting them out of the s.p.a.ce.
Lu Qingmei glanced at the retreating fifth division and fell silent for quite some time. Just before Li Luo"s figure was about to be teleported away, she lifted her hand, and a tiny ray of light flew towards Li Luo.
Li Luo reflexively caught the object that was thrown over and realized that it was a pill. In fact, this was something he was familiar with. A G.o.d Origin Pill.
He looked towards the other party with surprise.
The stick of incense had not finished burning and thus there was no reason for her to give him the G.o.d Origin Pill.
However, he was sent out of the Fiendish Devil Cave before he could react.
When the Green Nether Banner"s fifth division was sent out, the handsome young man from before walked forward and asked curiously, "Why did you give him a G.o.d Origin Pill even though the incense continues to burn?"
Lu Qingmei lowered her head, and her jade-like hand pointed at some of the scales on her dragonscale armor. What the youth saw gave him a shock. Despite the fact that the dragonscale armor possessed frightening defensive prowess, certain scales had turned dull and cracks could be seen upon them.
"If he was in the Fiend Finisher Tier like I am, my Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor Art would not have been unable to resist his Duke Art. Thus, his strength deserves recognition, and so I gifted him the G.o.d Origin Pill."
The glazed gla.s.s rod in Lu Qingmei"s hand then vanished, and her gaze continued to linger at the location where Li Luo had disappeared.
"Li Luo possesses the style of his father. I don’t think Li Qingfeng will be able to retain the position of the Dragon"s Head in the Heavenly Dragon"s Five Lineages’ younger generation for much longer."
