Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1680

Chapter 1677 White Scorpion Demon King

. In Daxia City, Luolan Mansion Headquarters.

In a stone pavilion overlooking the lake, Jiang Qing’e gazed at the gradually fading spatial mirror before her, a rare trace of melancholy and reluctance emerging on her delicate, porcelain-like face.

“Is Mother leaving the Ten Great Divine Continents and reentering the Princely Battlefield?”

After Tan Tai Lan ascended to the Unparalleled Ninth Rank, her mastery of space had reached a pinnacle, allowing her to communicate freely across vast distances using space as a mirror. Therefore, during their earlier meeting through the spatial mirror, Tan Tai Lan had detailed everything,

including her upcoming trip to the Princely Battlefield.

Naturally, Jiang Qing’e harbored a tinge of concern. After all, although Tan Tai Lan had now reached the Unparalleled Ninth Rank, possessing the strength to challenge the Heavenly Kings, the Princely Battlefield now brought together the most powerful forces from the Dark World and the Ten Great Divine Continents. It was a battleground for the Heavenly Kings. Even Heavenly King Qin had fallen in such a confrontation, demonstrating the sheer danger.

But she also understood that Tan Tai Lan had to go.

Otherwise, if the fortified boundary wall of the Princely Battlefield were breached, allowing the Dark World’s Great Demon to invade and destroy it, it would trigger a terrifying chain reaction, ultimately threatening the collapse of the Ten Divine Continents.

Although Tan Tai Lan valued her own small family more than anything else, she understood the principle that no egg can escape unharmed when the nest is overturned.

“Mother, don’t worry. I will protect Li Luo until he is safely out of seclusion,” Jiang Qing’e muttered to herself, gazing at the invisible space mirror.

Then she turned her head and gazed at the bluestone gate not far away, shrouded in layers of strange formations. That was where Li Luo had been in seclusion. Four years had passed,

and yet Li Luo showed no sign of emerging.

If Jiang Qing’e hadn’t been able to clearly sense Li Luo’s steady breathing, she would have suspected something was wrong with him.

“Senior Jiang, don’t worry. I sense the captain is almost out of retreat.”

A gentle voice suddenly echoed from outside the stone pavilion. Bai Mengmeng, petite and delicate in a white dress, like a pure flower bud, approached with a smile.

Jiang Qing’e’s eyes flickered to Bai Mengmeng. She had emerged from the underground palace the second year of Li Luo’s retreat, but upon her emergence, the Alchemy Saint had fallen into a deep sleep, returning control of his body to Bai Mengmeng.

Over these years, the Alchemy Saint’s power had been absorbed into Bai Mengmeng’s body.

So while Bai Mengmeng might appear harmless and innocent, once she mobilizes that power, she can unleash power comparable to that of a double champion. However, she’s not particularly adept at fighting, placing her at the bottom of the double champion tier.

But no matter how low she falls, she’s still a force to be reckoned with. With her level advantage, she could easily overwhelm a single champion.

Furthermore, compared to Bai Mengmeng’s demonstrated prowess, her greater role lies in refining elixirs and producing miraculous spiritual water. During the Great Xia Alliance’s expansion, Bai Mengmeng and Jiang Qing’e became its two most dazzling figures. While

Bai Mengmeng lacked the natural talent to utilize the Alchemy Saint’s combat methods, she inherited his mastery of elixirs and miraculous spiritual water to near perfection.

Therefore, across the ten major divine states today, Bai Mengmeng’s skill in refining elixirs and miraculous spiritual water is arguably among the best.

Over the years, she established the Alchemy Pavilion and the Water Light Pavilion within the Luolan Mansion, recruiting the Great Xia Alliance’s top alchemists and tempering masters. Under her leadership, these two pavilions have produced countless elixirs and high-quality miraculous spiritual water for the Great Xia Alliance, significantly boosting its overall strength.

The high quality of these elixirs and miraculous spiritual water has even attracted many powerful individuals from the Eastern Divine State to join her.

Bai Mengmeng also played an invaluable role in the Great Xia Alliance’s current prestige, establishing it as one of only two top alliances in the Eastern Divine Continent and withstanding wave after wave of demonic invasions.

“Earlier, Sister Caidie, while in her slumber, told me that when she was helping the captain refine the ‘Divine Fruit Wind Phase,’ she also passed on some of the inheritance from the Wuxiang Holy Sect. According to her, the captain is now considered the quasi-sovereign of the Wuxiang Holy Sect, so naturally he must master these methods.”

Jiang Qing’e smiled and nodded at Bai Mengmeng’s soothing words. She held her hand and spoke softly.

Occasionally, Jiang Qing’e would raise her pretty face, her eyes fixed on the abyssal rift at the edge of the sky. There, black meteors, symbolizing catastrophe, continued to streak.

The world’s chaos continued unabated. A

solemn look lingered in her eyes. Tan Tai Lan’s forced departure from the Ten Great Divine Continents must have been driven by forces from the dark world, a veiled attempt to coerce her into the realm of kings and princes.

The loss of such a top-tier warrior among the Ten Great Divine Continents is bound to have a profound impact.

The Dark World will not miss this opportunity, so I’m afraid that all the major Divine Continents will soon face an extremely fierce offensive.

After four years of this war for unity, not only has it not abated in the slightest, but it is gradually entering a more dangerous and brutal phase

.

Just as Jiang Qing’e had anticipated, the month after Tan Tai Lan left the Ten Divine Continents, chaos and unrest across the various Divine Continents suddenly intensified.

Ghost demons descended from the sky, their numbers and strength exceeding those of previous events.

The pressure on the alliances within the major Divine Continents was rapidly increasing.

It was clear to everyone that the Dark World was gradually increasing its efforts, attempting to gain victory on the battlefields of the Ten Divine Continents.

The Great Xia Alliance, located in the Eastern Divine Continent, also felt the pressure acutely. Even with fifteen King Realm experts now commanding the alliance, these experts were exhausted from suppressing the numerous Ghost Demons.

Even Jiang Qing’e had to leave Great Xia City several times to personally quell the Ghost Demon rebellion.

While the Great Xia Alliance suffered greatly, other medium-sized alliances in the Eastern Divine Continent suffered even more. Some were even breached, countless lives were annihilated, and an area spanning millions of square kilometers became a deadly zone.

For a time, the entire Eastern Divine Continent was gripped by panic.

This panic reached a peak six months later, when intelligence arrived that a Triple Crown Demon King had descended upon the Eastern Divine Continent for the first time.

In the world of the Ten Great Divine Continents, Triple Crown Demon Kings are considered the ultimate power, and therefore each one is under close surveillance by the Divine Continent Association. This explains why, for over four years, Triple Crown Demon Kings had rarely appeared in the outer Divine Continents. This was largely due to the restraint exerted by the top King Realm experts within the Divine Continent Association.

However, with the sudden intensification of the Dark World’s offensive and arrival, the Divine Continent Association’s defenses began to show flaws.

The Triple Crown Demon King who appeared in the Eastern Divine Continent was known as the White Scorpion Demon King. His “White Scorpion Ghost Chi” was known to the Ten Great Divine Continents as a formidable force.

Upon his appearance, the White Scorpion Ghost Chi led a number of small and medium-sized Ghost Chis and attacked the Mingwang Alliance, another of the Eastern Divine Continent’s top alliances.

In this battle, the Ming Wang Alliance lost two King-level powerhouses, and several empires within the alliance were breached. King Zhao Ming, the alliance’s leader, was severely injured by the White Scorpion Demon King. Without the assistance of other King-level powerhouses, King Zhao Ming, renowned throughout the Eastern Divine Land as a peak Double-Crown Champion, might have fallen at the hands of the White Scorpion Demon King.

This outcome unleashed immense fear throughout the Eastern Divine Land.

Other medium-sized alliances were horrified and shaken. After all, if even the Ming Wang Alliance, with its peak Double-Crown champion, had suffered such a heavy price, how could the Eastern Divine Land resist the invasion of the Dark World?

Under the onslaught of the White Scorpion Demon King, the Ming Wang Alliance suffered a relentless defeat.

In this critical moment, Jiang Qing’e led five kings to aid the Ming Wang Alliance and confronted the White Scorpion Ghost within the Tianzhu Dynasty. This was Jiang Qing’e’s first direct confrontation with a Triple-Crown Demon King.

That battle was earth-shattering, the tidal wave of energy unleashed by the clash faintly palpable across much of Eastern Divine Continent.

Ultimately, to the ecstasy of countless beings, the White Scorpion Demon King, unstoppable since his arrival, was finally halted, his demonic might contained within the Tianzhu Dynasty.

That day, countless people could witness a silhouette in the sky, radiating vast, sacred, and profound light. Behind it, twelve magnificent wings of light whipped up a torrent of light that spread across tens of thousands of miles.

Countless terrified beings knelt in worship, and the devout call of the Twelve-Winged Goddess of Light echoed throughout the dynasties of Eastern Divine Continent.

Jiang Qing’e’s reputation reached an unprecedented peak across Eastern Divine Continent.

However, the respite from chaos and catastrophe was only temporary.

For the next six months, the White Scorpion Demon King commanded countless descending demons and engaged in a brutal battle with the two leading alliances. Battles raged constantly across a vast expanse of tens of millions of miles.

The meat grinder of war kept turning, tinting the skies above the Eastern Divine Land with a dark red hue.

This stalemate continued.

Until one day, the sky above the Eastern Divine Land roared and shook, and a terrifying demonic roar came from the end of the sky. Countless people looked up in fear, their eyes reflecting a star burning with demonic flames, wrapped in terrifying pressure, and crashing down from the sky.

At that moment, the entire Eastern Divine Land seemed to let out a trembling wail.

Because, another top-level ghost demon with the power of a triple-crown demon king had descended.

However, when countless people in the Eastern Divine Land were filled with despair, in the deep underground palace of the Luolan Mansion headquarters in Daxia City, the young figure who had been silent for five years slowly opened his eyes.
