Chapter 0689: Deep Experience
Not a single sound could be heard as the black bell lightly swayed in the wind. However, no one in the square could sense the faint wave spreading out in every direction.
Everyone in the square then stared solemnly at the Regent. His words clearly indicated that he was not planning to give face to the King.
As expected, the Regent did not wish to put a halt to his plans.
It made sense after all. The Regent had plotted for countless years, so why would he willingly back down after a single sentence from Pang Qianyuan when he was on the cusp of success? A King Stage expert might possess absolute power, but the Regent’s own thirst and ambition for greater power did not pale in comparison.
With the curious gazes of the crowd concentrated on him, the Regent continued indifferently, “I wholeheartedly respect Principal Pang, but you, Li Luo, do not possess such a right. Everyone here is aware of the close relationship the royal family has with House Luolan. No one knows of the whereabouts of the Principal, but it seems he has passed power to Li Luo. Now an individual from the younger generation is in control of a weapon with massive killing potential. This child has acted recklessly and wants to use his newfound power to interfere with the Xia Kingdom’s succession ceremony! If Principal Pang truly disagreed with me, he would have appeared in person. Otherwise, I can only assume that you, Li Luo, have borrowed Principal Pang’s power to accomplish your own vile aims by misrepresenting his intentions!”
It had to be said that the Regent was truly gifted with words. He had dumped the blame of the entire situation on Li Luo’s head with a few simple sentences. The people in the audience might have had doubts about the words the Regent had said, but ultimately, they gave him an excellent and plausible reason to proceed with his plan.
The Regent would never admit that what Li Luo had said had the backing of Pang Qianyuan. It was all his own idea.
Now that he put it this way, the people in the Regent’s faction let out relieved sighs and comforted themselves. The Regent’s words were somewhat logical after all!
The two already possessed a deep grievance, so this was a great situation for Li Luo to borrow the Principal’s power to take revenge.
All they had to do was tide over this current situation. Once the Regent took control of the Kingdom Protecting Formation, he could deal with Pang Qianyuan unless he was willing to give up all pretenses and wreck the entire Xia Kingdom. However, if that happened, the Academic Federation would undoubtedly step in to prevent it.
Li Luo could only smile in frustration when he heard the Regent’s words. He was not easy to deal with. He was able to regain his momentum even in such unfavorable conditions.
“Gong Yuan, Principal Pang has stated that even if the Gong family’s heir is a female, it is still possible for her to wield the Kingdom Protecting Formation. Thus, if you still want to act wildly, then you will undoubtedly be labeled the greatest criminal of the kingdom, having incited civil strife! At that point in time, I will not back down any longer.” At this point, the First Princess seemed to have recomposed herself from her depressed state of mind and uttered these harsh words coldly.
At the same time, she turned towards Qin Zhenjiang. “The Regent has revealed his treasonous heart. I have been sufficiently tolerant this whole time, but if you give him an inch, he takes a mile. If this is the case, in the name of the previous Emperor, I declare the Regent as a traitorous rebel that cannot be spared!”
Her declaration caused tremors to run through everyone’s hearts. This statement signified that the faction representing the orthodox branch of the royal family had now chosen to break with the Regent’s side.
“Haha. My good niece, did you suddenly gain a false sense of bravado? Is it because this brat has given you faith?” The Regent icily glared at her with a furious grin on his face.
The First Princess remained placid as she ignored the taunts coming from the Regent, only looking towards Li Luo as she saluted him and solemnly said, “House Lord Li Luo, I will leave it to you to execute the will of Principal Pang. To cleanse the Xia Kingdom of these traitors. Only by executing Gong Yuan, the main instigator, can the Xia Kingdom avoid chaos!”
She decisively took action. Before this, she had been disheartened and dismayed by the failure to control the Kingdom Protecting Formation and Principal Pang’s absence. However, now that Principal Pang had transmitted power to Li Luo and mentioned that there was a way for Jingyao to take control of the Kingdom Protecting Formation in the future, she would not let this opportunity pass by so easily.
She understood that if she gave up today, the Regent would not let her and Jingyao off easily.
Since this was the case, why not struggle to the end?
Listening to the First Princess’ words, Li Luo’s expression remained focused as he knew that all of her hopes had been heaped unto him. They were on the same boat in anycase, and seeing the Regent succeed wasn’t ideal for him either.
“Please relax, Your Highness. You can leave it to me to get rid of these traitors,” Li Luo attentively replied.
The Regent stood with his hands behind his back as he stared sharply at Li Luo and sneered. “What a pretentious and rambunctious brat. You might be able to borrow Principal Pang’s power, but it’s no different from giving a child a huge knife. Do you really think you can bring to bear its true potential? You’re not the Principal’s true body, and even with the additional power, you are unable to demonstrate a King’s triple resonance energy. Killing me is just an idiot’s dream.”
Li Luo borrowing power from the Principal had turned him into a credible threat, but killing him? Impossible!
Li Luo’s gaze flickered with a hint of amusement as listened to those words.
“Triple resonances, huh?”
He felt terrifying resonant power endlessly exuding from the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade with a purity that was unimaginable. This resonant power had solidified, forming a crystalline dust that was both gorgeous and mystical to look at.
However, it was as the Regent had said. This was resonant power that had been transmitted by the Principal.
The King expert’s triple resonance power, on the other hand, was not able to be transmitted.
It could only be wielded personally by the King himself, being refined by the three resonant palaces he had created.
However…
It wasn’t completely impossible, right?
The person in question was not a King, but he had triple resonances!
Principal Pang’s transmitted resonant power already possessed the will of a King-level powerhouse. It contained unimaginable amounts of spirituality, and even though Li Luo couldn’t fully understand the mysticality and intricacies of triple resonance power, he could simply push the boat along the current. If he were to activate his three resonances and circulate Principal Pang’s resonant power through them, it might automatically transform itself into what he was looking for!
With this thought, Li Luo sighed in praise. This temporary opportunity to experience King Stage power was extraordinarily rare and a blessing!
Thus, Li Luo no longer hesitated. He grasped the Onyx-Elephant Blade and channeled the transmitted resonant power into his body freely. To be fair, he had no way to truly control this power that left him shivering in fear
Boom!
Li Luo was currently standing atop a stone pillar in the square. His eyes were slightly closed as his body emitted frightening undulations of energy. These energy undulations caused the eyelids of countless Dukes in the area to twitch.
The methods of a King were mind-boggling. Just the energy that was being transmitted was able to let a mere Fiend Palace Tier transcend his limits and wield unstoppable power.
However, they understood the Regent’s words too. Li Luo was still at the Fiend Palace Tier, and the gap between him and the King Stage was simply too vast and wide. He would naturally be unable to wield this energy as it should be. Shocking the Regent was one thing, but killing him? Unlikely.
At this moment, as the crowd continued to ponder over the possibilities, they saw a blue light ascend into the sky atop Li Luo’s head.
This was water resonant power.
Immediately after, resonant power full of lush vitality similarly appeared. Wood resonant power.
This sight was not too surprising. Li Luo possessing dual resonances was no secret, and it looked as though he planned to borrow Principal Pang’s strength to demonstrate his dual resonance mastery?
As the crowd continued to guess his intentions, they saw Li Luo smirk.
Swoosh!
What happened next was an eye-opening sight for them. Yet another vigorous resonant power appeared atop Li Luo’s head, and it seemed to radiate tyrannical and robust vitality. At the same time, a sense of coercion spread throughout the area accompanied by a draconic roar.
This was a resonant power unlike the previous two!
A third resonant power?
This was dragon resonance power!
All of the Dukes had sullen expressions as they saw this unbelievable scene. How could Li Luo possess three kinds of resonant power? The dragon resonance power did not seem to have been created through borrowing external aid.
Li Luo had revealed his triple resonances to the shock of the audience. There was no hesitation as he continued to raise the blade in his hand. Terrifying amounts of energy containing the will of a King expert surged out, enveloping all three types of resonant power before descending back onto the blade itself.
At this point in the time, the blade was radiating resplendent light.
In a blink, everyone could see that a halo containing three colors had emerged on the blade’s body.
This halo seemed both profound and enigmatic, as though it contained countless revelations of the world. When it rotated slowly around the blade, it exuded an enticing charm that would cause one to be lost within its beauty. This was a primal desire for those that sought to seek further heights in their cultivation.
The square became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Especially the Regent, who seemed to have become lost in a daze.
As a Duke, they knew what this triple-colored halo represented.
This was the essence of a King’s strength.
The Triple Resonance Saintly Ring.
It was the manifestation of triple resonance power.
As they stared at the youth grasping on to the mottled blade, a sense of absurdness surfaced within their hearts.
A Fiend Palace Tier boy was demonstrating triple resonance power before an audience of Dukes?
Had the world gone mad?
Li Luo, on the other hand, remained unperturbed by everyone’s absolutely shocked looks as he held the blade that had become as heavy as a mountain. If not for the support of Principal Pang’s will, he probably wouldn’t have been able to even lift the blade. The brilliant halo represented the peak of power within the world they lived in, and it was simply beyond his reach at the moment.
He could only feel how infinitely small he truly was.
On the bright side, he didn’t have to do much.
He raised his head and stared at the Regent, who had yet to snap out of his stupor, with a radiant smile on his face.
“Old thief Gong Yuan… Do you think this blade can end you this time?”
Li Luo grinned as he asked this question, then he hacked downwards with all his might.
