Chapter 1304: The Big Daddy That Lifts Everyone Up
As the gigantic Heavenly Resonance Diagram from Li Luo unfurled, the numerous different kinds of resonant power he possessed appeared as it transformed into a wondrous depiction of his resonances.
What made everyone shocked was the emergence of a violet gold gigantic dragon from the thunderclouds. It emanated an archaic majesty that allowed everyone to instantly identify it.
It"s the Heavenly Dragon resonance!
The emperor of all dragon resonances!
This was a sight that caused everyone from Li Foluo to Li Zhihuo to stare in complete disbelief.
They all possessed their own dragon resonances and they could keenly sense the pressure this violet gold dragon gave off. It was a qualitative difference which one would feel when facing a progenitor.
The Heavenly Dragon was the undisputed king amongst all of the dragons that roamed the world.
As a result, they could feel a pressure weighing down upon them.
Both Li Foluo and Li Zhihuo had strength that far surpa.s.sed Li Luo and thus the pressure wasn"t too obvious. However, amongst those within the Five Guardian Armies who had dragon resonances, especially those in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage had their faces turn pale. Obviously they felt sheer fright at this scene.
In a battle of life and death, they might very well have lost almost 30 to 40 percent of their combat strength in such a situation.
In the Dragon"s Blood Guardians, Li Qingfeng, Li Hongli and the rest had complex expressions. They could still remember that just two years ago, the recently arrived Li Luo was just a country b.u.mpkin who had spent his entire life in the outer divine continent. Everyone had thought that he had wasted countless years of his life languishing in a barren wasteland and thus had been indirectly crippled, unable to demonstrate his full potential.
Yet those who had thought that way were humbled very quickly.
Even today, this country b.u.mpkin had once again taken another step forward, evolving his resonance into the most almighty of resonances in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, the Heavenly Dragon resonance. This sight instantly reminded them of Li Luo"s father, Li Taixuan.
He had wielded the quasi ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance and unceremoniously suppressed all of the geniuses of his generation. Even the one acclaimed to most likely reach the King stage, Li Jiluo of the Dragon"s Blood Lineage, had lived under his shadow.
It was clear why the Heavenly Dragon resonance was thus acclaimed to be the emperor amongst them all!
"How could this be..."
"How did he obtain a Heavenly Dragon resonance? Wasn"t it an ordinary dragon resonance previously?" As they were still sh.e.l.l shocked by this revelation, Li Hongque couldn"t help but to remain speechless. Her expression was warped as if she could not accept the sight before her. "He had secluded himself for two months previously. I"m afraid it was precisely to evolve his resonance. I"ve once heard that if you possess a dragon resonance and an extremely pure Heavenly Dragon bloodline, you could use certain secret arts to stimulate it and evolve it." Li Zhihuo sighed deeply as his voice fell.
"However those who were capable of this feat of evolution amongst the entire history of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li could be counted with the fingers on one hand.
He glanced at Li Luo"s figure from afar as his expression turned serious. Li Luo brought him an incredible sense of pressure, one that even exceeded that of Jiang Qing"e. Although she had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried and triple ninth-grade Light resonances, she didn"t have a Heavenly Dragon resonance at the end of the day.
Only those who possessed a dragon resonance would be aware of the suppressive effects of the Heavenly Dragon resonance.
Li Luo was currently at a much lower stage compared to him but once he entered the Duke stage, he would very likely be affected as well. Meanwhile amidst the gazes of idolatry and surprise, Li Luo remained calm and collected. He was keenly sensing the resonant power which was rapidly restoring within his body as he flashed a smile at Li Foluo. "I should be able to hold on for quite a bit more now."
Li Foluo could only nod his head with a complex and dumbfounded look on his face.
It was no wonder why Li Luo dared to magnanimously accept the requests of the other three Guardian Armies. It turned out his Heavenly Resonance Diagram had leaped forward to 96,000 feet and he had obtained a Heavenly Dragon resonance.
This brat was still in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage and yet even the Guardian Generals were already feeling the heat.
The bright side to all this was that Li Luo still belonged to the Dragon"s Fang Guardians.
Jiang Qing"e who was beside him continued to watch silently as a trace of amus.e.m.e.nt appeared in her golden eyes. In the past, everyone had always felt that she was simply too outstanding, but yet they didn"t realize that Li Luo"s talent and potential wasn"t any worse than hers. "Everyone, please follow me to earn the dragon essences." Li Luo grinned as he spoke to the Dragon"s Fang Guardians behind him.
The Guardians glanced at each other before agreeing with new found respect after seeing Li Luo"s display of might.
They then made their way to the Dragon"s Scale Guardians first with 8000 Guardians in tow.
The remaining 2000 continued to wait and rest. If anyone within the group had overdrafted their strength, they could swap out.
"Grand Commander Li Luo, Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, the Dragon"s Scale Guardians look forward to the bountiful harvest." Li Tingyue gave a slight smile. Her beautiful gaze swept across Li Luo"s body curiously. After all, the Heavenly Dragon resonance was a rare sight.
"Guardian General Tingyue, let us begin then."
Li Luo didn"t waste words considering that the Dragon"s Bone Guardians and Dragon"s Horn Guardians were awaiting him as well.
Li Tingyue similarly understood his situation. The longer they kept the World"s End River Meteor levitated, the greater the consumption of energy.
"Then i"ll have to trouble the two of you." She replied courteously.
Jiang Qing"e then took action first, majestic amounts of resonant power pouring out from her, submerging the World"s End River Meteor completely.
Li Luo similarly activated the Auric Halo and the Acquired Resonance Flame, supporting Jiang Qing"e"s efforts to refine the World"s End River Meteor and purify the corruption.
Behind them, 7000 Guardians continued to lend them their strength.
Li Hongyou continued to control 1000 Guardians, using her Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit to bolster them.
The refinement process had already become like second nature and thus there was no mistakes.
Thus four hours pa.s.sed.
The Dragon"s Scale Guardians" World"s End River Meteors had all been refined and 160,000 Star Pearls were obtained, leading to the Dragon"s Scale Guardians feeling extremely exuberant.
Li Tingyue hurriedly activated her resonant power, collecting up all the Star Pearls as her gorgeous face gave a wide smile before she coquettishly asked Li Luo. "Grand Commander Li Luo, would you kindly be able to take care of the Dragon"s Scale Guardians next month as well? We will definitely support you with any missions in future in return."
Li Luo had smoothly refined the Star Pearls with the aid of Jiang Qing"e and he had demonstrated his immeasurable value.
Thus she didn"t hesitate to show her goodwill.
So what if it incurred Li Zhihuo"s displeasure? That was a joke. Li Zhihuo was merely the Dragon"s Blood Guardian"s Guardian General, although they were the strongest, when compared to Li Luo"s, just how many dragon essences was that really worth.
Li Luo smiled and accepted her kind intentions.
Li Luo then swapped out some of the Guardians who were now exhausted before rushing over towards the Dragon"s Bone Guardians.
Another four hours pa.s.sed.
The Dragon"s Bone Guardians had feverish gazes as they watched 160,000 Star Pearls refined before them.
However, Li Luo and Jiang Qing"e"s condition had clearly deteriorated after this. The refinement process was draining and the Dragon"s Fang Guardians" formation strength had suffered a drop as well. Even with 8000 Guardians rotating in and out, it was not enough as the rest did their best to rest.
The only upside was that the Dragon"s Horn Guardians" only required 120,000 Star Pearls which meant that it was less laborious.
They pushed on for another four hours and it was then when the refinement process for the Dragon"s Horn Guardians was completed.
As the Star Pearls descended, the Dragon"s Horn Guardians began to cheer incessantly.
Tens of thousands of eyes were now focused upon the pale and resonant power devoid Li Luo. On the side, Jiang Qing"e being at the Duke stage with a strong foundation was in a clearly better condition when compared to him.
However, all that was unimportant. What really mattered was that Li Luo had accomplished his mission of a.s.sisting the other three Guardian Armies.
What did this signify?
If Li Luo was capable of a.s.sisting them everytime the Falling Star Terrace opened, the amount of Star Pearls obtained would be incredible.
Their cultivation speed would thus increase significantly.
In the face of actual strength gain, what did dragon essences mean for? The goal of obtaining dragon essences was to exchange for better cultivation resources to improve their strength after all!
However, so long as the entire army was able to fork out 30,000 dragon essences, they could cost effectively raise their own strengths and after tasting such a sweet treat, how could they let go of it so easily?
It is often said that it was easy to go from a frugal to a luxurious lifestyle but not the reverse.
After experiencing the benefits of utilizing 160,000 Star Pearls, who would be willing to go back to the past?
So then how would Li Luo and Jiang Qing"e be treated since they were the ones who could give them such a wonderful experience?
Informally, someone capable of such a feat would be known as the Big Daddy! "Grand Commander Li Luo is almighty!"
"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang is almighty!"
Cacophonous cheers rang out from all of the four Guardian Armies except for those from the Dragon"s Blood Guardians. At this point, the duo had undoubtedly been elevated to the peak.
They were not Guardian Generals but the prestige they held was no different from one.
The Dragon"s Blood Guardians on the other hand were a plain of deathly silence. Their expressions were ugly as they felt like they had been ostracized. However they also understood that because Li Zhihuo and Li Hongque had created an acrimonious relationship with the duo, Li Luo would naturally not a.s.sist them with any refinement of Star Pearls.
They were originally proud of the amount of Star Pearls they were capable of refining but the gap had closed tremendously and any sense of superiority was gone.
Some of the Dragon"s Blood Guardians didn"t dare to express their dissatisfaction towards Li Zhihuo and instead directed their ire towards Li Hongque.
She naturally sensed these unhappy gazes and her heart was filled with frost and fury. The reputation she had bitterly raised amongst the Dragon"s Blood Guardians had been torn apart by Li Luo"s meddling. It seemed that from now on, she would be subject to a torrent of complaints during the refining of Star Pearls.
This would undoubtedly turn into a sort of long term torment for her.
Li Hongque was so angry her entire body trembled. Yet Li Luo was uninterested in dealing with Li Hongque in any case. After the refinement was completed, he was extremely exhausted and he just wanted to return to the Dragon"s Fang Guardians to obtain his Star Pearls and cultivate in peace.
With that, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram might be able to take another step forward.
"Ah?" Just as Li Luo was about to turn, Jiang Qing"e suddenly let out a cry.
Li Luo was shocked by this. "Sister Qing"e, what"s wrong?"
Jiang Qing"e then raised her head as her gaze penetrated the protective formation of Heavenly Dragon Peak, directly observing the gigantic and terrifying World End"s River.
Li Luo similarly looked as well as his eyes shrunk.
He could see that the World End"s River had become much more turbulent and restless. An describable sort of roar seemed to resound throughout the world as countless streams of black light spilled out from it, transforming into a meteor shower that blanketed the World End"s River Region.
Some also descended in the direction of Heavenly Dragon Peak.
Li Luo could feel a chill arising within his body. He could sense extremely terrifying and dense corruption within these meteors.
These black meteors were clearly a transformation of powerful Others.
This sudden development caused the expressions of the five Guardian Generals to change.
In the next moment, a shrill alarm rang out which spread throughout Heavenly Dragon Peak.
