Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1174: Awakening the Five Tails

The elegant and holy glazed sword materialized once again. As everyone watched in surprise, it penetrated the void and flew towards the wax arrow.

The arrow was brimming with corruption, dying the surroundings black as it flew towards its target.

Only light energy was able to charge towards it without any fear of erosion.

When the two violent powers clashed, it was like the light of dawn fighting back against the pitch-black darkness.

A terrifying tempest swept through the battlefield. Even the endless white rain was blasted apart and vaporized by the explosion.

Alas, this only lasted until the wild energy storm finally died down. The white rain gradually returned and continued to fall over the entire All-Beings Palace.

Everyone's attention was locked onto the battle in the middle of the sky. Jiang Qing'e stood there with her sword unsheathed as dazzling light energy radiated from her. It seemed like she had managed to obstruct the White Eyed True Devil this time.

Everyone stared in disbelief. After all, the White Eyed True Devil was as strong as a peak second-grade Duke. Its attack was akin to an unavoidable catastrophe for a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator. Yet Jiang Qing'e had succeeded where others had failed.

This was a truly unbelievable feat. Even with the hundred thousand feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram, she was still at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier. Her success must have partially been attributed to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light and her dual ninth-grade light resonances.

However...

"Just how many times can you use such a Duke Art?" the White Eyed True Devil asked with an ice-cold. At the same time, the white rain circulated around its body. Enormous corruption enveloped the sky above as it stood there like a harbinger of the apocalypse.

Although his previous attack had been blocked, Jiang Qing'e had used all her strength in order to do so. As a high-grade Duke Art, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light was extremely taxing on the user, especially considering her cultivation level. Even with her dual ninth-grade light resonances and hundred thousand feet Heavenly Resonance Diagram, it was unlikely that she could sustain it for long.

As soon as the White Eyed True Devil finished speaking, the white rain gathered around and transformed into two white spears in front of it.

Cold, white wax oil dripped down the white spears, sometimes causing white bubbles to form. There was a twisted face full of agony in each bubble.

Pop!

When the bubbles burst open, the twisted faces were ripped into pieces.

The White Eyed True Devil did not give Jiang Qing'e any time to catch her breath. Even though the difference in their power levels was humongous, it was not in the mood to play around with trifling weaklings. It wanted to finish this fight as quickly as possible.

Whoosh!

The spears flew forward in a flash. Everywhere they passed, the void was torn apart as they left two long black trails, like two comets flying across the sky.

Jiang Qing'e looked at the frightening attacks from the White Eyed True Devil. However, there was no sign of fear on her face at all. She waved the heavy sword in her hand, and immense amounts of light energy gathered up once again.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light!"

As the strongest art in her arsenal, she did not hesitate to use it again. She knew that this would be extremely draining on her stamina. However, the other arts would barely help in this situation, given their huge gap in strength.

Bang!

Another terrifying energy storm kicked up and raged when the attacks collided, and Jiang Qing'e was finally sent flying back. Signs of fragmentation appeared on the wings on her back. Not only that, but little cracks and crevices could be seen in the triple violet-eye sword in her hand.

Her beautiful face was beginning to turn pale. However, her golden eyes did not show any sign of despair, only becoming sharper and fiercer.

Li Luo was right behind her.

No matter how strong the opponent was, she would never give way.

As Li Luo watched his tall and slender fiancee, his heart ached terribly. She had always been like this.

Ever since they were young.

She would always pin Li Luo down mercilessly when they bickered, but if he was ever in danger, she would stand in front to protect him no matter what the situation was.

During his childhood, the stress Li Luo felt had mainly come from Jiang Qing'e. It had always been his dream to catch up to her one day. Then he would finally be able to stand in front of the opponent and protect her.

At this point, Li Luo took a deep breath. He looked down at the crimson bracelet on his wrist and whispered, "If you still don't want to wake up, then there's no need to do so. When I return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage, I will ensure you sleep forever."

As soon as he said that, a red light started circulating around his bracelet. A deep and angry howl echoed in his heart.

Li Luo's eyes turned cold when he heard this howl. He transmitted a message to the bracelet, saying, "So you were really just pretending to be asleep."

He truly felt fury towards the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf this time.

A low voice resounded in Li Luo's heart. "Brat, I am not pretending to be asleep. There is nothing I can do about your circumstances. I can sense a malicious gaze staring at me. If I lend you my power, it will definitely corrupt me, and that will lead to a backlash against you as well!"

The voice contained the howls of a wolf. At the same time, it emanated a fiendish air.

It was clearly the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf replying!

This was the first time it had actually communicated with Li Luo. Clearly, it had felt the anger within Li Luo and felt like it had to explain itself this time.

Li Luo's eyes turned a little darker. A malicious gaze that the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was afraid of? Who else could it have been but the All-Beings Devil King?

However, there was no time for him to be concerned about the backlash in this situation.

Li Luo could not stand by idly while Jiang Qing'e resisted the White Eyed True Devil's attack alone. What if she was forced to ignite her Heart of Light again?

Jiang Qing'e had decided to do it without any hesitation when Shen Jinxiao was after them in the past. She knew about the risks involved.

However, she had not hesitated at all back then.

Li Luo was deep in thought for a moment. Then his calm voice resounded into the bracelet. "I will handle the backlash by myself. You just need to lend me your power."

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf pondered silently after hearing his words.

Li Luo's eyes turned icy. "If you don't lend me your power, I can take it from you forcefully using the seal. However, that will spell the end of the mutual understanding we have built up all this while. You have been with me for a number of years. Although you've been sealed, I have not treated you badly. I have given you benefits and opportunities befitting you in the Dragon's Fang Lineage as well. What I need now is a companion who can help me tide through this crisis, not a timid creature trapped in his own thoughts. If anything happens to her today, the first thing I will do when I return to the Dragon's Fang Lineage will be to ask the Respected Elder to finish you off!"

Li Luo's words were firm and fierce. There was no room for negotiation.

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was furious when it heard this. Li Luo was merely a Heavenly Pearl Tier junior. How dare he threaten it?

However, he was reminded of Li Luo's background at this point.

After hanging out in the Dragon's Fang Lineage with Li Luo, he had seen how powerful the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was.

This kid was no longer the same brat that had to coax it for help back in the Xia Kingdom.

In the end, it let out a frustrated cry after thinking about it. "Go ahead if you want to die!"

As it let out the low cry, the immense and fearsome power of the spirit beast surged up.

Crimson energy flooded out of the bracelet and poured into Li Luo.

Everyone stared at him in surprise. At the next moment, an enormous wave of energy swept through the field and shot out of Li Luo's body into the sky above.

The sky above gradually turned crimson.

Li Luo could sense the immense and fearsome energy surging within his body. He quickly focused his mind. At the next moment, his world appeared to be dyed red, and countless strange whispers echoed in the depths of his mind.

Negative emotions soared up within his heart. They started to spread into every corner of his mind.

For a moment, Li Luo's eyes were full of red veins that stretched out like a spiderweb. Wild and violent emotions rapidly spread within him.

This deluge of negative emotions was actually a common occurrence back when he borrowed the power of the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf. However, these suggestive thoughts were not that strong, and he could control the erosion of his mind.

Now the negative emotions had been amplified a thousand times.

This was clearly the work of the All-Beings Devil King.

He would not let this uncontrollable energy enter the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion so easily.

The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf grew irritated when it sensed Li Luo's struggle. It had already warned him beforehand, yet this fool still insisted on courting death. Damn it!

The other students had also sensed the changes happening to Li Luo. There was a crazy amount of vicious negative energy pouring out from him. They knew that Li Luo had been forced to utilize his spirit beast's power.

However...

The corrosion of the All-Beings Devil King came as promised as well.

Li Hongyou and Feng Lingyuan watched him in worry. If Li Luo could not handle the backlash, it would not make their situation any better. In fact, he would place them in a more desperate situation.

Nonetheless, there was little they could do to help him.

In the end, it was all up to him.
