Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1840

Chapter 1837 World Ruler

The sound of time flowing, like the sound of water, echoed in Li Luo’s ears, traversing the past and present.

He opened his eyes.

The familiar world came into view, but it had changed beyond recognition.

Li Luo’s eyes became increasingly profound, like a wise man who had experienced countless years. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Jiang Qing’e beside him, who was also looking at him in a daze.

With Li Luo’s return from the river of time, something seemed to have changed.

And the surging memories in Jiang Qing’e’s heart were constantly surfacing.

These were the memories of the sect leader. In the fragmented memories, Jiang Qing’e had seen the figure of the masked man. Although his face was hidden by the mask, Jiang Qing’e knew Li Luo so well that she recognized him at a glance.

That’s why she told Li Luo that she had seen him in the sect leader’s memories.

And now, those fragmented images were becoming clearer and clearer.

That was… …Sealed by the dust of time, the little girl, holding the masked man’s large hand, followed him, training and cultivating across the Divine Continent, overcoming countless obstacles and hardships.

Under his tutelage, the orphaned little girl gradually blossomed with brilliance.

In that instant, Jiang Qing’e even felt a touch of affection for Li Luo, causing a blush to involuntarily rise on her fair cheeks.

How inexplicable!

“Sister Qing’e, long time no see,” Li Luo said with a smile.

In reality, only a moment had passed, but in the long river of time, it felt as if countless autumns had passed.

Moreover, now that he knew everything, looking at Jiang Qing’e, Li Luo couldn’t help but find her even more interesting.

Hearing Li Luo’s inexplicably meaningful laughter, Jiang Qing’e blushed and whispered, “Don’t call me Sister Qing’e anymore!”

Her low voice held a hint of shyness.

Li Luo chuckled, “Oh? I can’t exactly call you Xiao’e, can I?”

Jiang Qing’e shook her head, saying, “That’s her name. Just call me Qing’e.”

Li Luo said seriously, “I didn’t expect our relationship to be so complicated, but it’s alright, we can each call each other what we want. I’ll call you Sister Qing’e, and you can call me Master.”

Jiang Qing’e said, embarrassed and annoyed, “You’re her Master, not mine!”

Seeing Jiang Qing’e so unusually vulnerable, Li Luo couldn’t help but burst into laughter. When the fog cleared, the exact nature of the relationship between Jiang Qing’e and the Sect Master seemed irrelevant.

Perhaps, fate is truly mysterious.

Li Luo reached out and took Jiang Qing’e’s slender hand in his, their fingers intertwined. Then he looked up at the world around him. At this moment, most of the world’s power had fallen into the hands of the Dark Sect Master.

Relying on the great fortune of the Sect Master and the source of all evil, and the prestige accumulated over the years, the Dark Sect Master was about to become the “World Ruler.”

Jiang Tianwang, Zhen Jie, Yan Changsheng, Su Ying, and many other Divine Kings were filled with despair.

But at that very moment, the river of time rippled, as if an invisible wind was blowing from the distant past.

Secrets once hidden in the past were quietly awakening, influencing one era after another.

Everyone suddenly remembered the founder of the Wuxiang Holy Sect.

He was a masked man with long gray hair who, in ancient times, founded the Wuxiang Holy Sect, leaving behind the power and path to resist the invasion of the dark world for future generations.

The sound of the wind in the world seemed to freeze.

The pupils of the Heavenly Kings, especially Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, the two of the Six Sons of Wuxiang, trembled violently at this moment, and an intense disbelief appeared on their faces.

Because in the sky, Li Luo stood up from the Twelfth-Petaled Golden Lotus, his long gray hair fluttering in the wind behind him. He clenched his fist, and a mask appeared in his hand, which he then gently placed on his face.

In that instant, his image and the aura he exuded completely merged with the shadow of the founder of the Formless Holy Sect.

Then, everyone understood.

“This…this…the Formless Holy Sect was actually founded by Li Luo?!” A storm of shock swept through the hearts of all living beings.

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying exchanged a trembling glance, then immediately knelt down excitedly in the direction of Li Luo.

At this moment, Li Luo stretched out his palm and gently gestured towards the world. In an instant, the heavens and earth surged with wind and clouds, and all living beings clearly felt a supreme authority descending upon Li Luo without reservation.

The authority that the Dark Sect Master had originally seized was also completely transferred at this moment.

The Dark Sect Master paled in shock, staring at Li Luo in astonishment. “You actually traveled along the river of time to the past and changed it!”

Li Luo smiled and said, “It wasn’t changing it, it was just filling in the gaps in what should have happened.”

The Dark Sect Master’s face darkened. At this moment, she finally experienced the terror of this “Formless.”

The mirror of time can only reflect the long river of time; it can survey the years but cannot intervene within them. However, Li Luo, through the “omnipresence” of the Formless, projected himself into the past. Even as merely a shadow of time, he still possessed unimaginable power.

“Sect Master An, it’s all time to end this.”

Li Luo’s voice was calm. When he became the founder of the Formless Holy Sect, he had already become the most renowned figure in the long river of time. Subsequent eras were protected by his legacy. This reputation and fortune would surpass even the Sect Master.

Therefore, at this moment, even the Sect Master An, possessing the great fortune of both Sect Master and the source of all evil, and the renowned reputation of time, could no longer compare to him.

The power of the world was bestowed upon Li Luo at this moment.

Li Luo stood on the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus. The world roared, and endless streams of light converged in Li Luo’s hand, transforming into a scepter. A galaxy flowed at the top of the scepter, containing billions of stars, each star seemingly a manifestation of the essence and status of the world.

When Li Luo held the Scepter of Rank, all living beings in the world knelt in worship.

The four newly ascended rulers—Jiang Tianwang, Zhen Jie, Yan Changsheng, and Su Ying—clearly felt that Li Luo’s will had completely replaced the Divine Continent.

That was…

the Lord of the World!

He had finally achieved this supreme realm.

The Dark Sect Master silently watched this scene. Li Luo had surpassed her in rank, and she could feel the world’s hostility and rejection towards her.

She understood that she had ultimately lost this confrontation.

Li Luo calmly looked at her, waving the scepter in his hand.

“Nirvana should be sealed away,” he said calmly, like a pronouncement from a supreme deity.

The world trembled.

The Dark Sect Master saw countless black points of light emanating from her body—her tenth-grade Nirvana form—but now, under Li Luo’s pardon as the “Lord of the World,” they were beginning to be peeled away.

The light representing the tenth grade of Nirvana, upon leaving the Dark Sect Master’s body, was covered by layers of rank and buried deep within the world.

The Dark Sect Master, unwilling to accept her fate, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. She transformed into black light and plunged into the Dark World, attempting to use her own “Source of All Evil” power to merge herself into it.

In that way, although she would dissipate, she would leave behind chaos.

But the moment she moved, time seemed to freeze; Li Luo stepped through the void and appeared before her.

Li Luo gazed at the familiar pretty face of the Dark Sect Master and smiled, “Speaking of which, you’ve occupied this body for so long, it’s time to return it to its original owner.”

A mocking smile appeared on the Dark Sect Master’s face as she said, “You mean the original consciousness of this body? Do you think such a weak ant could leave even the slightest trace under my erosion?”

“All of Li Lingjing’s consciousness has been completely erased by me, not a trace remains.”

Li Luo shook his head and said, “You only erased the consciousness within this body, but not all of it.”

He clenched his fist, and a snake staff appeared in his hand. The snake staff was forged from green bamboo, covered with snake scales, and exuded a cold aura.

That was the Green Bamboo Serpent Staff. It was

a treasure that Li Luo had once given to Li Lingjing. Later, during the fierce battle with Shen Jinxiao in Luo Lan Mansion of Great Xia City, when Li Lingjing was devoured by Shen Jinxiao, this snake staff fell into Li Luo’s hands.

As the Dark Sect Master said, Li Lingjing was like an ant in her eyes, utterly powerless to resist. Therefore, there was no possibility that Li Lingjing’s consciousness resided in this body.

However, a trace of consciousness remained within the snake staff.

This trace was extremely subtle, undetectable even to a Divine Fruit Heavenly King, but in Li Luo’s eyes at this moment, that trace of consciousness shone like a star.

Li Luo gripped the Azure Bamboo Serpent Staff and pierced it directly into the Dark Sect Master’s chest.

After her Tenth-Rank Annihilation Aspect was sealed deep within the world by Li Luo, the Dark Sect Master was now powerless to resist.

The Azure Bamboo Serpent Staff melted at this moment, completely merging into the Dark Sect Master’s body.

The next moment, one of the Dark Sect Master’s pupils suddenly began to wriggle. Then, this pupil gradually changed, becoming long and narrow, and finally transforming into a blue snake’s pupil.

When one of the Dark Sect Master’s pupils became a snake’s pupil, her aura began to plummet wildly, and the black light spots dissipating from her body surged even more violently.

This indicated that she could no longer even hold onto her own body.

“Sect Master An, it’s truly over.”

Li Luo stretched out his palm and gently stroked Sect Master An’s right pupil. As his fingers touched it, the pupil slowly transformed into a blue snake’s eye.
