Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1641: Revival Spell

"The Third Seat of the Thirteen Underworld Kings, the Demonic Flame Underworld King?"

Li Luo was snapped awake by Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lingzi's words, and his expression turned serious.

The Origin Reversion Institute possessed a terrifying background. The Thirteen Underworld Kings were second only to the Heavenly Emperors of the organization. It was said that only those who were at the Dual Crowned King Stage could join their ranks.

The Demonic Flame Underworld King was the Third Seat and therefore the third strongest, meaning that he was at the Triple Crowned King Stage. Someone of this caliber was easily capable of ruining the situation that they had arduously shifted in their favor.

"Isn't the Academic Federation currently fighting against the Origin Reversion Institute? How could someone like him be allowed to run here?" Li Luo asked with a frown.

Based on what he knew, the Academic Federation had locked horns with the Origin Reversion Institute in a battle so grand that even their Heavenly Emperors were being deployed.

How had such a large fish made his way here? What were those old emperors doing?

The Demonic Flame Underworld King, wreathed in dark-green flames, looked at Li Luo. Then, as though he could read his mind, he smirked.

"The Origin Reversion Institute has incited numerous Other Disasters throughout the divine continents. This is not the only Other Dominion that is descending. All of the Kings of the Academic Federation are anxiously fighting against us, but they are splitting their attention to deal with the Other Dominions. Thus, they are all very busy right now," he croaked hoarsely.

Li Luo's heart sank. Working in tandem with the Other Dominions to stretch the Academic Federation thin was truly a vicious move by the Origin Reversion Institute. It was no surprise that there weren't enough people to go around.

The Origin Reversion Institute had been plotting this for countless years. At this point, many Other Disasters that had been triggered a while ago had reached a large enough scale for the Other Dominions to descend.

Although many of those dominions weren't as strong as the Saturnine Hydra Devil King's Eight Headed Other Dominion, the sheer number of them just made it a thorny situation to deal with.

Due to that, the Origin Reversion Institute could withdraw its forces and relocate them as required.

The Academic Federation, on the other hand, had its hands tied dealing with the Other Dominions that were inflicting untold suffering and creating wastelands of death.

Thus, while it seemed like a battle between the Academic Federation and the Origin Reversion Institute, it was actually the combination of the Origin Reversion Institute and the Shadow World's Other Dominions.

The Demonic Flame Underworld King no longer bothered with Li Luo and turned towards the remaining heads of the Devil King.

"Saturnine Hydra Devil King, I'm here to assist you in letting the Eight Headed Other Dominion descend," he said indifferently.

Without waiting for the Saturnine Hydra Devil King to respond, the stick of incense in his hand blazed, and dense clouds of green smoke wafted into the skies. As the smoke gathered, the Light of Authority that was pushing the Eight Headed Other Dominion back started dimming. A few breaths later, it shattered.

"You little brat. You've actually managed to elevate the Absolute Resonance Seed to such a level. Reaching the Seventh Transcendent Duke Stage has allowed you to fuse your resonances into a supreme ninth-grade resonance and come into contact with Authority. That is truly impressive."

The Demonic Flame Underworld King glanced at the Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority on Li Luo's forehead and sighed.

"If I had not brought this stick of Heavenly Emperor Incense, I would have required quite a bit of time to deal with the Light of Authority."

Authority originated from supreme ninth-grade resonances and was the pinnacle of power. Despite being much stronger than Li Luo, the Demonic Flame Underworld King would need time to chip away at the Light of Authority because of the qualitative difference.

Li Luo groaned as the Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority representing his supreme ninth-grade resonance began to dim. He looked at the stick of incense with fear. That object radiated the power of Authority as well, and it was clear that it was provided by the Origin Reversion Institute's Heavenly Emperors.

After the Light of Authority dissipated, the dense green smoke started to drag the Eight Headed Other Dominion downwards! The entire world turned dark at this moment.

An endless torrent of ashes started to fall from the skies like gray snow, turning everything gloomy and cold. Li Luo appeared by Jiang Qing'e's side and protected her.

Meanwhile, the Saturnine Hydra Devil King suddenly erupted with vast amounts of corruption source origin. It was like an unstoppable tide, instantly crushing the source origin seals that the King trio had created to keep it busy.

Pang Qianyuan and the other two kings let out grunts of pain as they were sent flying back in a miserable state. Their expressions turned even uglier when gray ash coalesced around the Saturnine Hydra Devil King, filling up the cracks and gaps. In almost no time, its body was restored to its original state.

Three tumors writhed on its torso, then the three destroyed Devil Heads popped back into existence!

However, this wasn't all... Two additional heads popped up as well.

When seven Devil Heads appeared, the corruption source origin fluctuations emitted by the Saturnine Hydra Devil King stepped into the Triple Crowned King Stage.

It was gradually approaching its peak.

This sight struck fear into the countless individuals within Xia City. No one had expected that they would fall back into the depths of despair just when they were on the cusp of victory.

However, just as the Saturnine Hydra Devil King was about to use the Eight Headed Other Dominion to reach the state of eight heads, the Demonic Flame Underworld King smirked and formed a seal with his fingers.

At this point, the green smoke stopped pulling the Eight Headed Other Dominion downwards and remained firmly in place, preventing it from fully descending!

"Huh? Demonic Flame Underworld King, what are you trying to do?"

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King's fourteen burning eyes emanated a frightening pressure.

"Seven heads are sufficient," the Demonic Flame Underworld King responded with a grin.

The Eight Headed Other Dominion was one of the peak Other Dominions of the Shadow World and the Saturnine Hydra Devil King was a peak Triple Crowned King who wasn't far from becoming a Grand Devil King. The Demonic Flame Underworld King wasn't confident he could suppress it if it descended fully.

Thus, seven was the maximum number of heads he would allow.

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King snorted coldly. It knew that the other party was concerned with what would happen if it completed its eight Devil Head state.

It turned its murderous gaze towards Li Luo. The damage he had caused to it was crippling, so it naturally held a grudge.

However, just as the Devil King was about to take action against Li Luo, the Demonic Flame Underworld King said, "Saturnine Hydra Devil King, there's no need to bother with these ants now. I'd like to ask you to draw out the Pill Saint. If things drag on, the people from the Academic Federation might arrive."

The Demonic Flame Underworld King's words caused the eyes of the Devil King to jump. In the end, it agreed to follow his suggestion. The reason why it had schemed to take over the Xia Kingdom was to locate the slumbering Pill Saint. Now that things had reached this point, the best move was to capture its target.

As a result, the seven Devil Heads opened up their mouths and started whispering an ancient spell.

The spell propagated silently, enveloping every inch and corner of the Xia Kingdom.

......

City of Southwind, House Luolan's old manor

Bai Mengmeng's pure and beautiful face suddenly twisted into a pained expression. Strange runes had appeared on her skin and she felt a tingling and painful sensation on her back. Suddenly, a pair of huge, gorgeous butterfly wings protruded from her shoulder blades, accompanied by the sounds of bones cracking and flesh tearing.

The wings were covered with innumerable runic patterns. As they flapped gently, crystalline dust swept out, covering the entire City of Southwind. The dust made the citizens feel dazed and lost, as though they had been placed under an illusory spell.

To her horror, Bai Mengmeng discovered that her resonant power was starting to climb incredibly fast, as though something was awakening within her.

The control she had over her body gradually weakened as well.

"Elder Sister Rainbow Butterfly, what is going on?" Bai Mengmeng asked in fear.

A sigh echoed out from within her heart as Rainbow Butterfly's mysterious consciousness surfaced.

"This is a revival spell, a secret spell passed down from ancient times. The Saturnine Hydra Devil King knows of my existence and wishes to use this spell to forcefully awaken my dormant consciousness from slumber."

As her voice rang out, Bai Mengmeng sensed something. The Xia Kingdom's vast lands, the ancient forests and mountains, the deep recesses and chasms, and even the secret minor worlds, started to emit familiar and huge fluctuations.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the void, and her attention was focused on a specific location. Hidden within the depths of that location was a colorful silkworm chrysalis. It was covered in primordial runes, some of which were gradually fading as cracks appeared on its surface. In the end, gigantic butterfly wings stretched out of the gaps of the chrysalis.

Shocking auras then erupted from all of the locations that she could perceive.

"This is..." Bai Mengmeng was shocked. "Elder Sister Rainbow Butterfly, you... you're not a human. You're..."

The consciousness within her laughed helplessly.

"Indeed, I am not a human. I'm a Heavenly Demon Butterfly."
