Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1780

Chapter 1777 King Luo
. “Two seniors.”
After Yan Changsheng, Su Ying, and Tan Tai Lan met, Heavenly King Jiang finally bowed and saluted.
“Your Majesty, there’s no need to be polite. You’re also a Divine Fruit Heavenly King. We can address each other as peers.” Yan Changsheng waved his hand at Heavenly King Jiang’s salute, offering the era’s leading Heavenly King the fullest respect.
Upon hearing this, Heavenly King Jiang readily complied: “We, the younger Heavenly Kings, greet Heavenly King Yan and Heavenly King Su.”
“Greetings, Heavenly King Yan and Heavenly King Su.”
The other Heavenly Kings present saluted one after another, each bearing a measure of respect for these two ancient Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings who had survived the era of the Wuxiang Holy Sect.
Yan Changsheng and Su Ying both returned the greetings, but knowing the hopes of the current Heavenly Kings, they immediately spoke first, “We two know that Shenzhou is now at a critical juncture. Our survival is due to the prosperity of our sect master’s ‘Withering and Flourishing Phase.’ Now that Withering and Flourishing Phase has been taken away by the Guiyi Association, we two can no longer survive, let alone step out of the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven.”
Upon hearing this, disappointment flashed across the eyes of the many Heavenly Kings present. They knew only too well the immense combat power of the two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings. After all, across the entire Ten Divine Continents, they only possessed three.
If Yan Changsheng and Su Ying could escape the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven, then they would have greater confidence in facing the true ‘Guiyi Battle’.
“I wonder if the vitality of my ‘Divine Fruit Wood Phase’ can help you escape the Spiritual Phase Cave Heaven and survive for a while?” Heavenly King Jiang said after a moment’s hesitation.
Yan Changsheng shook his head and said, “Although the Divine Fruit Wood Phase possesses immense vitality, it cannot sustain the two of us. After all, we are already eroded by time. Once we leave the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven, we will also face the backlash of time. Even if you use the ‘Divine Fruit Wood Phase’ to extend our lives, it will not be able to offset the backlash.”
“The only way to resist the passage of time is to use the Sect Master’s Withering and Flourishing, as it is a power of similar nature.”
Jiang Tianwang fell silent and sighed softly.
The Dark World possesses ten Divine Fruit Great Demon Kings and sixty-two Great Demon Kings. This force is far stronger than that of the Divine State. In the past, in the battlefields of the princes, they could barely maintain their defenses thanks to the natural barrier and the ancient covenant. But now that the rift in the barrier between the Divine State and the Dark World has opened, the Great Demon Kings of the Dark World can descend directly from it.
If the peak showdown begins, the Divine State Heavenly King will be outnumbered.
However, if Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, the two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings, can escape the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven, it could potentially save the situation.
Tan Tai Lan clenched Su Ying’s hand, a trace of sadness between her brows. She wasn’t concerned about Yan Changsheng or whether Su Ying could escape Lingxiang Cave Heaven, but rather about the loss of the Withering and Flourishing Form. Even their survival in Lingxiang Cave Heaven would become difficult, until they would eventually be eroded by time.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the Heavenly Kings’ meeting grew slightly grim.
But then, Li Luo pondered, “Seniors, I’m a fool. I haven’t truly comprehended the Withering and Flourishing Form. I simply wonder… can life and death withstand the passage of time?”
As he finished speaking, a mysterious tree pattern coalesced between Li Luo’s brows. It was the “Divine Form Tree,” but this time, the pattern was black and white. An indescribable aura of life and death swirled through it, swirling around like a cycle of reincarnation.
“Life and death?!”
Everyone present, including Heavenly King Jiang and Heavenly King Zhen Jie, stared at the tree pattern between Li Luo’s brows in shock, their eyes filled with deep astonishment.
The Form of Life and Death!
This wasn’t just rare; it seemed like this affinity had never appeared before.
The intertwined aura of life and death seemed to truly be able to reverse life and death.
Yan Changsheng and Su Ying were also staring at the Life and Death Seal between Li Luo’s brows. They had previously sensed this Life and Death Seal, born from the power of Withering and Flourishing, but at its inception, they were unaware of its properties. But the Life and Death Seal Li Luo displayed had now evolved to the Super Ninth Stage, its rhythm suddenly becoming vast.
So this was the so-called “Life and Death Seal,” and its creation required the ultimate power of Withering and Flourishing.
No wonder no Life and Death Seal had ever appeared before, because the conditions for its creation were too demanding.
If Withering and Flourishing could withstand the passage of time, then Life and Death should be able to do the same.
“Give it a try,”
Yan Changsheng extended his hand toward Li Luo, a flicker of interest in his eyes.
Li Luo and Yan Changsheng clasped hands. The next moment, he activated his “Life and Death Phase,” and a vast black and white divine light swept out. In an instant, the entire world seemed to transform into black and white.
Like an ink painting depicting life and death,
the Heavenly Kings were subtly moved. As the black and white divine light flowed past them, they could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within it.
The Life Light healed all injuries and weakened the dead energy, while the Death Light robbed the life force and slashed the lifespan.
How domineering!
Even the mighty Heavenly Kings were not immortal. The so-called eight thousand years of lifespan was the limit for a Heavenly King, but Li Luo’s Death Light could shorten that span. This was truly an opponent no one wanted to face.
After all, even if they won, being struck several times by the Death Light would cost them dearly.
Under the gaze of the Celestial Kings, the Life and Death Light completely penetrated Yan Changsheng’s body. The next moment, the energy of life and death flowed through his flesh and blood, like a faint mist rising from his body.
The mist seemed insignificant, but wherever it emanated, even the Celestial Kings present moved away.
For it was the flow of time.
Once contaminated, not only would their flesh and blood wither, but their very nature would also dissipate.
But the Celestial Kings were instantly delighted. The energy of time was dissipating from Yan Changsheng’s body, proving that Li Luo’s Life and Death Seal truly possessed the ability to resist the erosion of time.
Yan Changsheng and Li Luo’s grip loosened at this moment.
He gazed at his own body in amazement. Although the accumulated energy of time had not yet completely dissipated, the sense of relief it brought was unprecedented.
This proved that Li Luo’s Life and Death Seal truly could counteract the erosion of time.
This young man was truly remarkable.
Li Luo pondered, “My Life and Death Seal can indeed dissolve the passage of time, but the accumulated erosion of time within the two seniors is too profound. With my current strength, it would likely take quite a while to completely remove it.” “
However, if I could enlist the assistance of other Heavenly Kings who are proficient in the attributes of life, the efficiency would be greatly improved.”
Heavenly King Jiang smiled, relieved. “That’s easy. As long as we can get Heavenly Kings Yan and Su to leave the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven, you can draw upon the power of us Heavenly Kings at will.”
Yan Changsheng looked at Su Ying and said, “It seems we can survive for a while longer.”
Although even if the erosion of time was dissipated, they would not be able to live the same lifespan as a normal Heavenly King, they would be able to leave the Spiritual Aspect Cave Heaven and survive for a few more years in this world.
Now that Shenzhou faces a crisis of survival, as members of the Wuxiang Holy Sect, they should uphold the sect’s legacy and contribute their part to protecting Shenzhou.
Su Ying smiled softly. Although she had lived long enough, it would be a good idea to visit Shenzhou again and see the scenery of this era.
“Lord Luo is truly the lucky star of the Ten Great Divine Continents.” With the sudden arrival of two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings in Divine Continent, Heavenly King Jiang couldn’t contain his excitement, and he smiled at Li Luo.
Lord Luo?
Li Luo was startled, then savoured the thought with delight. Was this his future title of Heavenly King? This was truly the achievement he had always dreamed of.
“Lord Jiang, is the remnant of Senior Wang Taixi’s spirit and body still intact in the Heavenly Realm Tower?” Li Luo suddenly asked.
Heavenly King Jiang nodded and said, “After Xuan Jin obtained the remnant soul of that Heavenly King Wang from you, we used secret techniques to merge it with his remaining body. However, despite numerous attempts, we have been unable to revive him.”
At this point, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Li Luo with some anticipation, asking, “Could Heavenly King Luo even revive him?”
That Wang Taixi must have been a Divine Fruit Heavenly King in his lifetime, but his body had been severely damaged by the ravages of time and was no longer at its peak. Regardless, reviving him would strengthen the power of the Divine Continent.
Li Luo pondered, “We can try, but with my current strength, I’m afraid I can’t truly ‘resurrect’ him. At best, I can use my life force to strengthen his spirit and slow the decay of his body, allowing him to survive for a short while.”
Truly resurrecting someone from thin air, let alone a former Divine Fruit Heavenly King, was beyond Li Luo’s current capabilities.
Even so, it still delighted Heavenly King Jiang.
“Go ahead, Lord Luo! I, the Lord of the Divine Continent, will do my utmost to assist you,” Lord Jiang declared solemnly.
The other Lords looked at Li Luo with utter surprise. What Lord Jiang had said was true. With just one move, Lord Luo had added two Divine Fruit Lords and one that looked like a Divine Fruit Lord to the Divine Continent. If such a person wasn’t a lucky star, who else could be?
As the decisive battle approached, Li Luo’s assistance filled the Lords present with uncontrollable excitement.
Lord Jiang, on the other hand, raised his head, his gaze deep, gazing at the abyssal rift at the boundary wall at the end of the Ten Divine Continents’ sky. In the gloom, he could already sense the approach of the Great Demon King.
“To resolve this Guiyi War, the most important thing is to repair this boundary wall crack.”
Everyone understood this, but repairing the boundary wall with the interference of the Dark World and the Guiyi Society was no easy task.
Lord Jiang sighed softly.
“So, in the end, we still need to put all our energy into this fight.”
