Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1747

Chapter 1744: Lü Taiyi’s Final Song

On a bleak plain strewn with corpses, two utterly terrifying primordial forces clashed relentlessly, annihilating each other. The vast expanse of the sky shattered, as if the heavens were collapsing.

A mighty silver-frost sword, shrouded in a chilling wave of extreme cold, transformed even the very energy of heaven and earth into frost particles wherever it passed. Finally, with a mighty force, it slashed

through the void ahead. That void, in turn, collapsed into a black hole. From its depths, a fetid river of countless corpses surged forth. Though lifeless, these corpses still gaped, frantically tearing at the corpses beside them, stuffing their dried flesh into their mouths and chewing frantically.

Like a group of starving ghosts

, their hunger erupted from the river of corpses, growing ever more powerful.

Finally, the two collided, the silver frost sword shattering the river of corpses. A pervasive chill transformed the corpses into ice crystals. Even as their bodies, reduced to ice crystals and unable to feed, the corpses began to dissolve, transforming into wisps of black air that burrowed into their nostrils,

as if devouring themselves.

Boom!

The void was ripped apart by two mighty forces, and two figures emerged from the sky.

It was Lü Taiyi, wielding a green-bladed longsword, and the emaciated, skeleton-like Hungry Demon King.

After a relentless battle, the two sides unsurprisingly reached a stalemate, with neither gaining the upper hand.

However, Lü Taiyi’s expression was more solemn. This stalemate was not what he wanted to see. Three more evil demon kings were wreaking havoc in the dark world, threatening the “Ten States Qiankun Wall.”

Lu Taiyi looked up, gazing in the distant directions. Powerful Origin fluctuations, no less powerful than those erupting here, were evidently erupting. Clearly, the other peak-level Triple Crown champions of the Ten Divine Continents were also locked in a bitter struggle.

In fact, the current situation was somewhat better than previously anticipated, thanks to Jiang Qing’e’s intervention to fend off a Demon King. This had significantly reduced the pressure on the coalition forces of the Ten Divine Continents.

However, if the situation dragged on, the coalition forces would be unable to withstand the ravages of the three Demon Kings.

Lu Taiyi sighed softly.

And at that moment, Lu Qing’er’s soft voice echoed in his mind.

“Uncle Taiyi, I’m ready.”

“You?”

Lu Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then a look of ease and relief crossed his old, kind face. In a special way, he whispered to himself, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Qing’er.”

Lu Qing’er paused for a moment, then whispered to himself, “Is it really necessary?”

Lu Taiyi smiled and replied, “Someone has to step up, right? I’m almost at the end of my life. I’ve outlasted all those amazing geniuses of my generation. Now, it’s my turn to do something.”

“Qing’er, follow the plan.”

Even though Lu Taiyi knew what was coming, he remained relaxed and calm.

“I understand,” Lu Qing’er replied after a moment’s silence.

Hearing this, Lu Taiyi said no more. He looked up at the hungry ghost-like Hungry Demon King before him, a smile on his old face.

This hint of a smile, however, caught the Hungry Demon King’s eye and stirred a sense of inexplicable unease and danger.

He soon discovered the source of this unease.

Above Lu Taiyi’s head, the three-layered, imposing crown of kings suddenly erupted in a terrifying primordial fire. The flames ignited from the crown’s innermost depths, instantly causing the very heavens and earth to violently tremble.

A supremely powerful Triple Crown Sacrificial Crown!

How terrifying was that?

In the void behind Lu Taiyi, three auras appeared, emanating a vast and boundless primordial source.

Vast frost primordial source flowed within, within which an ancient giant tortoise, its feet treading on frost, its maw clutching a Ganoderma lucidum carved from icy jade.

Frost phase! Longevity tortoise phase! Frost ganoderma phase!

At this moment, the three auras ignited with primordial fire. A faint wail emanated from the giant tortoise’s mouth, echoing across a million miles.

Heaven and earth changed color.

“Lü Taiyi, are you crazy? You’re actually burning your own essence?!” A look of shock and anger flashed across the Hungry Demon King’s emerald eyes, and a low, cold voice emanated from his lips.

As an alien from the dark world, it clearly didn’t understand Lü Taiyi’s sudden act of burning himself. In its eyes, maintaining its own existence was paramount.

However, Lü Taiyi ignored it. As the three affinities and the King’s Crown were fully ignited, the primordial power that erupted suddenly intensified to a terrifying level.

The immense power of the origin, however, ultimately gave rise to an exceptionally dazzling ball of light. Within it, a mystical seal pattern, resembling silver frost, rose and fell.

Atop this mystical seal pattern, streams of divine light of boundless power flowed.

This was the divine light of the Persona. After Li Luo had achieved a super-ninth-grade affinity, he was able to unleash it with the aid of the Persona Divine Aspect Tree. However, the intensity of the divine light he unleashed was significantly different from that released by this mystical seal pattern.

This was a manifestation of the ultimate concentration of Persona power.

The Holy Seal of Persona.

The origin power unleashed by Lu Taiyi, the pinnacle Triple Crown King of Sacrificial Burning, was so powerful that it could condense into a Holy Seal of Persona.

When this Holy Seal of Persona appeared, the entire world seemed to tremble. Vast celestial energy surged in, surrounding it as if in worship of a deity.

All of this energy was then assimilated into the attribute of frost.

The entire world was enveloped in a biting frost.

The Holy Seal of Status transformed into a stream of light, slowly descending, landing on the green-bladed longsword held out by Lu Taiyi. The blade instantly transformed into an icy blue hue, like an icy blade.

An overwhelming force surged from the blade’s edge, forming a Status Sword Aura.

Wherever the sword pointed, vast swaths of ice froze, even the energy properties of heaven and earth were reversed and transformed.

Cracks appeared on Lu Taiyi’s aged face, and a thick aura of death emanated from his eyes, yet a carefree smile played at the corners of his mouth.

He held the sword in hand, gazing at the Hungry Demon King, who was now utterly horrified. The void behind him shattered, and his figure transformed into black light, escaping into the river of corpses within.

The river of corpses, however, pierced through layers of the void, attempting to escape.

“Lü Taiyi of Jinlong Mountain, please follow me to death,”

Lü Taiyi said softly. His calm voice, like thunder, reverberated across a million miles of heaven and earth.

He swung his icy sword with a careless slash.

The moment the sword flashed, a mountain range stretched a million miles from north to south, rising from the very ground.

Ice rapidly spread from where Lü Taiyi grasped the sword, gradually enveloping his body.

But deep within the layers of the void, the Hungry Demon King, fleeing via the River of Corpses, was horrified to see an endless current of cold flowing from the very edge of the void. Wherever it passed, even the corpse river, formed by its own exhaustion of essence, began to freeze at an alarming rate.

He let out a shrill scream of terror, “Lü Taiyi, you lunatic!”

He had never imagined that this old man would risk his life to drag him down with him!

What would his death change?

Now, the Hungry Demon King regretted seeking out this old man!

But now, it was too late.

The sword light, emanating from the exhaustion of Lu Taiyi’s inner strength, pursued him at an inescapable speed. The immense power flowing through it filled even the Hungry Demon King with despair.

Finally, a cold current swept through, completely freezing the spaces deep within the void.

The Hungry Demon King’s body was also frozen in place.

It fell into the turbulent flow of space, ultimately shredding into nothingness.

Lu Taiyi’s body was also completely frozen, transformed into an ice sculpture. A smile played on his lips as he plummeted from the sky, disintegrating into a cloud of icy dust.

At that moment, countless powerful beings across the Tianxing Plain could sense the complete cessation of the fundamental vibrations of Lu Taiyi and the Hungry Demon King.

Before the Ten States Qiankun Wall, Lu Qing’er’s eyes, like an icy lake, rippled slightly, and the icy aura on her beautiful face seemed to grow even more intense.

She slowly raised her hand and gently grasped it.

Space split open at this moment, and the icy longsword that had previously been in Lü Taiyi’s hand, with the “Sacred Seal of Status” flowing through it, fell into her hands.
