Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1687

Chapter 1684: The Eastern Alliance’s Counterattack

Led by Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e, the Eastern Region Alliance launched a series of fierce counterattacks across the Eastern Divine Continent over the course of just three months.

Li Luo, now at the peak of the Unparalleled Eighth Rank, rivaled the Triple Crown Demon King in combat power. With the assistance of Jiang Qing’e, a Unparalleled Seventh Rank, the Ghostly Demons, outnumbered by two Triple Crown Demon Kings, were unable to withstand the couple’s suppression.

Consequently, in just three months, the Eastern Region Alliance achieved remarkable results.

No fewer than ten Ghostly Demons were defeated, and dozens of otherworldly kings were slain, including three Double Crown Demon Kings.

For a time, the morale of countless beings across the Eastern Divine Continent soared. The name Li Luo, the “Ten-Aspect King,” became the most dazzling banner of the Divine Continent. This honorific name was even recorded by the Golden Dragon Treasures and spread throughout the Ten Divine Continents.

Everyone understood the rarity and fortune of such a powerful figure, capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility, to emerge from the impoverished corners of Outer Divine Continent amidst this chaos.

This would prevent countless lives from being slaughtered and enslaved.

However, facing the Eastern Territory Alliance’s ferocious counterattack, the Dark World was not completely helpless. First, the number of Ghostly Demons descending from Eastern Divine Continent increased, and their attacks became more frequent.

However, because the large Ghostly Demons, commanded by Triple Crowned Demon Kings, primarily targeted the Four Inner Divine Continents, where the core elite forces of the Ten Divine Continents resided, the Dark World was initially unable to deploy new Triple Crowned Demon Kings to Eastern Divine Continent. Consequently, the Ghostly Demons in Eastern Divine Continent continuously retreated, avoiding the Eastern Territory Alliance’s attack.

Li Luo knew that a Triple Crowned Demon King might reappear in the Eastern Divine Realm before long. Once that happened, with numerous Ghostly Demons under the command of the new Triple Crowned Demon King, the Eastern Alliance’s efforts to advance would be far more challenging. Therefore, he seized this opportunity and launched a series of counterattacks, intending to further weaken the Dark World’s Ghostly Demons in the Eastern Divine Realm and reduce their strength.

Of course, more importantly… he wanted to gain merit.

After all, in Li Luo’s eyes, these Alien Kings and Ghostly Demons were valuable assets for promotion, seeking credit from Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, he relished the killing spree

…

In the Eastern Divine Realm, on the battlefield in the northwest region,

countless waves of synergy erupted like fireworks. Platforms of ennoblement, radiating mysterious light, rose into the sky, like mountains, constantly suppressing the powerful aliens emanating a thick aura of evil.

In some areas, even King-level warriors from both sides clashed, the terrifying waves tearing the sky apart and causing mountains and rivers to collapse.

This was another offensive launched by the Eastern Region Alliance.

The Eastern Region Alliance now boasts over fifty King-level powerhouses alone, representing nearly 80% of the Outer Divine Continent’s strength. This number is due in part to support from the Academic Alliance and in part to the ascension of new Kings during the “Ten Years of Heavenly Fortune.”

Kings are unruly, and even in these turbulent times, unifying and coordinating them requires a leader possessing unwavering command. Previously, no one in the Eastern Divine Continent could achieve this feat; even King Zhao Ming lacked the necessary skills. However, Li Luo’s sudden emergence, with his astonishing feat of single-handedly defeating three Triple Crown Demon Kings, subdued all of the King-level powerhouses in the Eastern Divine Continent.

This was the primary factor contributing to the Eastern Region Alliance’s success.

Li Luo stood tall above the battlefield, his gaze sweeping the sky in all directions. He didn’t interfere with the clash between the kings on both sides. After all, they too needed to slay the otherworldly kings to compete for “Heavenly Fortune” and strengthen their own foundation.

Therefore, Li Luo would only intervene if a King-level expert on his side was in mortal danger. After all, King-level experts were extremely valuable, with only a handful in the entire Eastern Divine Continent. The fall of any one would be a grave loss.

Their Eastern Divine Continent couldn’t compare to the wealth of the Inner Divine Continent.

Li Luo’s gaze swept across a region below. There, a violent wind-like force swept through, shredding countless otherworldly creatures in its path. However, at that very moment, three ninth-grade True Demons burst forth from the shattered space and launched a fierce and ferocious attack on the figure in the wind.

Li Luo’s eyes narrowed, ready to strike.

But just as he had this thought, the unruly figure in the wind seemed to sense it. It let out a long roar and said with a smile, “Li Luo, don’t interfere. Let me do it!”

The familiar voice and figure were Yu Lang.

Nine dazzling marquisate platforms towered above him, whipping up a vast, raging wind. He wielded a razor-sharp blade, his face stained with frost and blood. His eyes, piercing with fierceness, stared at the three Ninth-Rank True Demons charging at him.

He betrayed no fear, but instead a fierce fighting spirit.

During these five years, Yu Lang’s physiognomy level had risen to the peak of the Ninth Rank, a remarkable ascent. The primary reason for his achievement was the same as Li Luo’s…

Divine Fruit Wind Phase!

When Li Luo refined the Divine Fruit Wind Phase, he would be left with fragments of the Wind Phase that he couldn’t absorb. These fragments contained an extremely potent Wind Phase element, making them difficult for ordinary people to refine. However, Yu Lang, through his cultivation of the “Original Physique Technique,” was the only one capable of refining them.

Therefore, during Li Luo’s years of seclusion, Yu Lang would come every six months to help digest the fragments. This was how he was able to elevate his strength to the peak of the Ninth Rank, a mere step away from the King Realm, in just five years.

At this moment, facing the onslaught of three Ninth Rank True Demons, Yu Lang not only refused to retreat but also stopped Li Luo’s attempts to help him. He smiled broadly, and the vast, raging winds of the sky gathered, transforming into wisps of deep blue wind that entwined the blade.

Within those azure winds flowed an extremely dense essence of wind!

This essence power was originally reserved for King-level warriors, but Yu Lang, having absorbed fragments of the divine fruit’s wind-element, was able to unleash it even at the Marquis level.

However, Yu Lang was exceedingly extreme. He channeled all his energy into essence, concentrating it upon his blade, while abandoning almost all defenses of his own body.

In an instant, a gentle breeze seemed to sweep past.

He crossed paths with three Ninth-Rank True Demons. His blade slashed through their bodies, simultaneously cleaving a distant mountain in two. The fractures were as smooth as a mirror.

The three Ninth-Rank True Demons wailed as they shattered, leaving the ground a carpet of mangled flesh.

Yu Lang, blood-soaked, appeared behind the three True Demons, his body swaying slightly, nearly collapsing. Hideous scars surfaced across his body, and blood flowed profusely. He

had slain three demons with a single blow,

but Yu Lang had also paid the price with severe injuries.

Yu Lang forced himself to stand, looking up at Li Luo from afar. He smiled and asked, “Isn’t my strike impressive?”

Li Luo smiled and nodded.

Yu Lang’s vision gradually darkened, and he fell headfirst. Fortunately, a graceful figure swooped in from behind and supported him. It was Bai Doudou, who had been watching Yu Lang’s battle.

Li Luo waved his hand, and a powerful breeze swept over, sweeping Bai Doudou and Yu Lang away, landing them at the back of the battlefield in an instant.

After doing this, Li Luo turned his head and gazed at a vast lake in the distance. The once clear water had turned blood-red, stained with blood.

Li Luo stared at the lake with icy eyes. Suddenly, he extended a finger, and a ray of crystal light emerged from his fingertip. The next moment, the crystal light burst out, seemingly transforming into a crystal blade that could slash through the sky. With a single strike, he shattered the lake and the surrounding mountains and land.

A chasm like an abyss emerged, extending deep into the earth.

The abyss, carrying Li Luo’s power, continued to deepen, seemingly crushing some strange formations along the way. Finally, accompanied by a roar, a strange formation appeared in the depths of the earth. In

the center of the strange formation, two shadows were slightly dimmed. They had not expected that this strange formation, obscured by the residual power of the Heavenly King, had been detected by Li Luo.

“Two of you, five years, I didn’t expect you were still doing this.”

Li Luo stood in the air, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at the two figures.

They were two old acquaintances.

Qin Jiujie.

Spirit Eye Hades.
