Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1258: Three Divine Dragon's Demon Smiting Light

It was exhilarating to watch Li Luo, in his dragonoid form, wave the gigantic ancient banner that had taken form in the middle of the sky.

As the ancient dragon banner swept through the air, a stream of majestic divine light emerged from it.

It was colorful and brilliant, resembling a Five-colored Divine Dragon. The divine light contained an indescribable feeling, as if it had the power to shatter and devour anything that came into contact with it.

It was extremely fearsome and tyrannical.

Under everyone's gazes, the divine light flitted across the sky majestically, clashing directly with the emerald sword energy.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

When the two terrifying forces collided with each other, the entire sky appeared to crack for a moment. Even under the protection of secret arts, fault lines appeared across the stage itself. The brilliant divine light continuously battered down the emerald sword, as if the Five-colored Divine Dragon was tearing everything in its path apart, flattening all the mountains and rivers in its way.

More surprisingly, the broken pieces of the emerald sword energy were swallowed up by the divine light, being assimilated and further strengthening it!

As such, the emerald sword energy was gradually pushed back as time passed. 

All the spectators cheered out excitedly.

Who would have thought that Li Luo, at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, would hold the upper hand in a clash against Li Qingbai, an upper first-grade Duke?

Li Qingbai's face turned pale amidst all the commotion. He formed hand seals with lightning speed as his Duke Bergfried thundered. An enormous amount of resonant power shot out towards the Emerald Dragon Thousand Scales Sword to further reinforce it, and an endless emerald sword energy spread across the sky.

"What're you feeling so smug about? Sure, you've cultivated a Destiny-grade Duke Art, but how long can you sustain it with your Greater Heavenly Resonance strength?!" Li Qingbai shouted.

When he finished speaking, the emerald scales on his Emerald Dragon Thousand Scales Sword lit up with a golden glint.

After just a few moments, the emerald wooden scale sword changed colors!

The new sword energy it exuded contained an unparalleled sharpness, giving it much greater strength.

As the divine light charged towards him once again, the speed at which it was able to push back the emerald sword energy had slowed down.

"Emerald Dragon Thousand Scales Sword, Emerald Gilded Sword Dragon Essence!"

Li Qingbai clapped his hands together, and an emerald gilded light wrapped around the Emerald Wood Gilded Scales Sword. The sword essence transformed and took on draconic elements, gaining a horn and claws as it ferociously fought back against the divine light.

This time, the brilliant Triple Dragon Demon Crushing Divine Light finally showed signs of shattering. Clearly, the Emerald Gilded Sword Dragon Essence had pushed it to its limit.

Li Luo's face remained calm. He gripped the unimaginably heavy ancient dragon banner with both hands. It was as if he was lifting three giant dragons at once. Moreover, he could only rely on his physical strength to lift it up. 

If he was not strong enough, he would have been unable to use the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon despite cultivating it. Being able to brandish and lift its immense weight was a key requirement in activating the Three Divine Dragons’ Demon Smiting Light.

Perhaps this was the special trait of a Destiny-grade Duke Art.

Fortunately, Li Luo was in his dragonoid form right now, so his physical prowess had reached a stunning level and he was thus able to wield it. Nonetheless, he could feel his muscles screaming and tearing apart with every motion.

Li Luo looked at the fresh blood flowing down his arms and then at the ancient dragon banner in his hands as thoughts flooded his brain.

He had noticed earlier that whenever he held the banner, his blood became a little agitated.

Specifically, it was the Heavenly Dragon Blood that was reacting within his body.

It seemed like his lineage had some special relationship with the Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon.

However, that was not all that surprising. The Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon required a dragon resonance as its base after all. The Heavenly Dragon blood he possessed was able to bolster one's dragon resonance, so it was only natural for them to have a special relationship.

As Li Luo thought about it, an idea surfaced in his mind. The fresh blood that was flowing on his arms appeared to gain a life of its own as an unknown power moved it, causing it to splatter onto the handle of the ancient dragon banner.

The fresh blood was quickly absorbed into the banner like water into cotton.

In just a few moments, all the fresh blood on Li Luo's arms had been sucked in. A moment later, a faint, golden glow could be seen on the dragon banner.

Li Luo summoned up all of his strength and waved the ancient dragon banner once again with renewed force.

This time, even his scales tore apart from the vicious movement. This power was simply too great for Li Luo's body to handle.

However, Li Luo did not relax his grip on the banner. A vicious light flashed across his eyes. Completely disregarding the pain, he summoned up all his might and waved the banner down yet again despite the injuries.

A low cry erupted in Li Luo's heart. "Triple Dragon Demon Crushing Divine Light!" As he waved the ancient dragon banner through the air, a magnificent divine light swept across once again. It was like a giant river with five colors, but there was a glorious, golden glow to it this time.

The golden light wasn't very strong, but it amplified the divine light further.

As the brilliant divine light flew across the void, space cracked open with terrifying force.

Li Qingbai's eyes darkened when he saw this all-out attack from Li Luo. He finally understood why Li Luo was not afraid to challenge him, an upper first-grade Duke, despite being at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier.

This was because Li Luo had three palaces and six resonances. He had two ninth-grade and an upper eighth-grade resonance as his foundation. Furthermore, he had cultivated a Destiny-grade Duke Art.

This was Li Qingbai's only chance to defeat Li Luo. He would never get a second chance in the future.

Li Qingbai thought deeply for a moment, then the Duke Bergfried behind him vibrated wildly. Waves of resonant power surged up like an endless river and poured into the Emerald Wood Gilded Scale Sword.

Following this, the sword energy was overflowing with worldly natural energy. It gave off a domineering appearance as it flew directly towards the brilliant divine light from Li Luo.

Bang!

Terrifying energy waves swept across the field, shattering the void in the surroundings into pieces.

The layered energy barrier outside the stage became visible as it resisted the shockwaves resulting from this renewed collision.

All the spectators watched excitedly without batting an eyelid.

The brilliant divine light rapidly disintegrated during each clash. Only the giant Emerald Wood Gilded Scale Sword remained in the sky.

"Li Luo's Duke Art has been dispelled!" Li Hongque cried out happily. It seemed like Li Qingbai had emerged victorious with his upper first-grade Duke strength!

"Goodbye, Li Luo!" Li Qingbai was ecstatic as well. His Emerald Wood Gilded Scale Sword, which was on the verge of shattering, burst forward and charged towards Li Luo directly.

However, Li Luo's face remained emotionless as he watched the emerald sword fly towards him. When the sword energy appeared in front of him, he slashed down with his dragon claws, which were still dyed with his fresh blood.

Bang!

When his claws clashed with the Emerald Wood Gilded Scale Sword, a sharp ringing sound echoed through the air, as if it had reached its limit. In the next instant, the sword exploded into pieces right in front of Li Qingbai.

Emerald motes of light created from the destruction of sword energy dissipated in every direction.

The Emerald Wood Gilded Scale Sword had exhausted most of its energy in the previous clash with the divine light. All that remained was an empty shell.

The whole crowd fell into silence when they saw the sword shatter into pieces.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Li Luo, a Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator, had managed to block an all-out attack from Li Qingbai, an upper first-grade Duke!

What a stunning achievement!

One could even say that Li Luo had proven his worth with this clash.

The members of the Dragon's Fang Guardians burst into thunderous cheers.

The other three Guardian Armies also gasped in surprise. Originally, their attention had been captured by the stunning Jiang Qing'e. However, they now realized that Li Luo's talent was actually just as monstrous as Jiang Qing'e’s.

With these two newcomers, the Dragon's Fang Guardians would inevitably soar into the heavens.

Bang!

Suddenly, a terrifying energy wave exploded in another corner of the sky.

Two figures with surging resonant power flew back and landed beside Li Luo and Li Qingbai.

Li Yuanshan appeared beside Li Qingbai as he took a glance at Li Luo. His eyes darkened a little as he frowned and asked, "You didn't manage to finish off Li Luo?!" Li Yuanshan appeared a little frustrated. He had kept Jiang Qing'e in place this whole time, but in the end, Li Qingbai wasn't able to get anything done.

Li Qingbai's face was even uglier. He could not help but retort, "You didn't manage to finish off Jiang Qing'e either!"

However, he managed to calm himself down in the end. "Li Luo's talent is comparable to hers. He's even cultivated a formidable Destiny-grade Duke Art. There is nothing I can do against him in such a short time. However, he's merely at the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier, so he does not have the resonant power to keep using a Duke Art of such a high grade. Just give me a little more time, I'll definitely be able to finish him off!"

Li Yuanshan shook his head. "It's alright. Since you were unable to bring Li Luo down in the first clash, there's no point in dragging it out. Let's move on to our second plan. Since this battle concerns the reputation of the Dragon's Blood Guardians, we cannot afford to lose."

Hearing this, Li Qingbai's face changed a little. He nodded in agreement in the end.

The true reason they had chosen to go with the team battle format was because of this.

In the next instant, the two of them stretched out their hands, and a dark-red oil lamp appeared on each of their palms.
