Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1643: The Might of the Pill Saint

When the woman, the butterfly, and the three beasts shattered through the void, a terrifying pressure flooded out and nearly crushed Xia City.

Even the heavens and earth seemed to shake in their presence.

Li Luo, Pang Qianyuan, and the rest were all dumbfounded by the sudden development. They looked at Rainbow Butterfly in surprise as the fluctuations of power rolling off her were on the level of the Triple Crowned King Stage.

In addition, the Tiger, Deer, and Eagle Beast Kings were at the Single Crowned King threshold.

A mighty and unknown force had suddenly made its appearance on the battlefield.

However, Li Luo very quickly recognized the figure atop the Demon Rainbow Butterfly, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Mengmeng?" he called out, shocked.

The girl he knew very well had undergone a huge metamorphosis—her long, black hair had turned multicolored and her aura had transformed completely. That said, her other recognizable features made it very obvious that it was her.

He was shocked by this discovery. He couldn't associate the shy and demure girl with her current seductive appearance! Furthermore, he could sense that Bai Mengmeng and the Demon Rainbow Butterfly's auras had fused into one. This meant that the pressure of a Triple Crowned King was originating from her.

It was at this moment that he thought of something—the mysterious Myriad Resonances Golden Pill that had appeared in the most critical moment of his breakthrough. Bai Mengmeng had casually handed a golden object to him a few days ago.

The realization struck him like lightning. He sucked in a cold breath of air, his gaze filled with disbelief and surprise. Was Mengmeng actually the Pill Saint hiding in the Xia Kingdom?

No, it was more accurate to say that the consciousness of the Pill Saint from the Sacred Void Resonance Sect was residing within her body. This was because, judging by the situation, the one controlling Bai Mengmeng's body wasn't Bai Mengmeng!

The sweet and pure girl now exuded an enchanting temperament that seemed incompatible with who he knew her to be.

More importantly, there were the undulations of a Triple Crowned King pulsing off her.

Pang Qianyuan expressed his thoughts out loud. "Those three Beast Kings are the tyrants living in the depths of the Gukun Mountain Range. I had a brief interaction with them. Because they were unwelcoming of me, I had no choice but to retreat. In the end, I informed the college not to barge in there unnecessarily. Why would they come to Xia City? What does the Demon Rainbow Butterfly have to do with all this? Is it the emperor of the mountain range? How is it possible that that desolate land could nurture such an existence?"

Pang Qianyuan felt as though this was illogical. He had spent countless years in the Xia Kingdom and had never noticed such a terrifying creature. Furthermore, he didn't know if the newcomers were friends or foes.

"Li Luo, do you know anything about the Demon Rainbow Butterfly?" Lan Lingzi hurriedly asked upon noticing the change in Li Luo's expression.

Pang Qianyuan and Li Qingying turned over in surprise as well.

It was then that he revealed what he had heard about the Pill Saint.

The three Kings' faces were filled with shock. They never would have expected that there was such a titanic secret hiding in these lands.

However, Pang Qianyuan was finally enlightened. Just why would the Saturnine Hydra Devil King, a Triple Crowned King, be eyeing this barren country? It had spent large amounts of time plotting to take it over, even doing its best to descend with all its might. It seemed that it was all for the sake of locating the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Heavenly Emperor Pill Saint.

This was also a good piece of news as the Pill Saint likely wasn't an enemy.

......

At the same time, some of the people in Xia City had noticed that Bai Mengmeng was on the butterfly's head.

One of which was naturally Bai Doudou. They were sisters, and their bond as siblings ran deep. While everyone else was distracted by the fearsome undulations of the newcomers, she had noticed that it was her sister at a glance.

She felt as though she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, panic filling her eyes. Although she didn't know how her sister had ended up atop that frightening butterfly, her sister had undoubtedly experienced a heaven-toppling change.

"Mengmeng!" Bai Doudou hoarsely shouted with an anxious expression.

Her sister felt like a stranger to her. That could not possibly be her sister. She was even willing to run up and attempt to rescue her.

It was at this point that Yu Lang hurriedly hugged her and held her back.

"Doudou, calm down a little."

With Bai Doudou's strength, just approaching that mighty existence would lead to her being crushed in body and soul, her life extinguished without a trace.

"But it's Mengmeng!"

Bai Doudou's eyes were welling up and becoming red. She understood her sister very well—she was pure and timid and was the antithesis to the terrifying individual standing in the sky. Where had her sister gone?

Yu Lang's expression was also solemn. Bai Mengmeng had changed in a way incomprehensible to him. However, there was no point in worrying about this right now as acting rashly might incite a catastrophe.

As Bai Doudou was floundering with maddening anxiety, the "Bai Mengmeng" above the Demon Rainbow Butterfly seemed to have noticed something. Her multicolored eyes turned to her momentarily, and a calm and authoritative voice was transmitted into Bai Doudou's ears.

"There's no need to worry. Mengmeng is not in danger."

This caused Bai Doudou to freeze in surprise. She stared at the familiar figure for a moment, then she clenched her teeth and stopped struggling, quietly leaning into Yu Lang's embrace with moistened eyes.

Yu Lang gave her some consoling words.

......

"Pill Saint, you're finally out into the open. I've been looking for you for far too long!"

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King's footsteps were imbued with boundless corruption source origin as its fourteen blazing eyes greedily glared at Bai Mengmeng's body.

The person before it was a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor with a Genesis Seed who had been weakened by the passage of time. There was no greater treasure than that!

It had stumbled upon traces of the Pill Saint by pure coincidence. It had once devoured a memory passed down from ancient times that contained information on the Revival Spell as well as several fragmented images, one being the fact that the Pill Saint had used that very secret art to seal herself away.

The Demonic Flame Underworld King's gaze similarly turned heated. He was a Triple Crowned King, and if he could successfully refine the Pill Saint with his secret art, he might very well enter the Heavenly Emperor Stage and become a supreme existence.

Although his heart was filled with avarice, the Demonic Flame Underworld King didn't dare to act rashly, instead maintaining a sense of caution around her. At the end of the day, she was still a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor from ancient times. She was a peak powerhouse amongst the Heavenly Emperors.

Even though ages had passed and she was weakened, someone like her still had enough power to strike fear into people's hearts.

The best option was to let the Devil King probe the other party's strength before deciding upon further action. With that in mind, the Demonic Flame Underworld King activated the Heavenly Emperor Incense, causing the green smoke that had been obstructing the descent of the Eight Headed Other Dominion to start pulling it down once again.

A large swathe of the skies above the Xia Kingdom turned dark, and gloomy winds and sharp screeches filled the air. Everyone raised their heads to see a world that resembled a smoldering furnace gradually approach them.

"Congratulations on successfully descending, Saturnine Hydra Devil King," said the Demonic Flame Underworld King with a smirk.

Bang!

Indescribable amounts of corruption source origin followed the Other Dominion, surging into the Devil King with seven Devil Heads. Its burly body began to expand steadily, becoming a hundred thousand feet tall as the eighth head emerged!

Everyone felt an oppressive pressure blanketing the heavens and the earth at that instant.

The eighth Devil Head let out an ear-piercing screech as its devilish might inundated the world. It could sense that all of its strength had descended into the world, and it couldn't help but laugh.

"Pill Saint, how much strength could you possibly have left after being weakened for so long? Why don't you sit there obediently and let me devour you!?"

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King stretched out its gigantic hand made out of countless burning heads, gushing out with black lava that blotted out the sky and the sun. The lava sealed the entire space and made it impossible for anyone to escape.

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King's strength had completely descended, reaching the peak of the Triple Crowned King Stage. This caused even Pang Qianyuan, Li Qingying, and Lan Lingzi to turn pale in fear.

However, Rainbow Butterfly remained unfazed, as though she was observing the actions of an ant.

Weng!

At the next moment, boundless prismatic light spilled out from Bai Mengmeng, illuminating the entire Xia Kingdom.

Li Luo sucked in a deep breath as he was familiar with the fluctuations emanating from this light. This was the Light of Authority he had just wielded not too long ago. Did the Pill Saint still possess such overbearing power?

Joy soon filled Li Luo as he knew that the Saturnine Hydra Devil King was in big trouble now.

The Light of Authority that he had created was merely a single ray, yet it had literally bisected the Saturnine Hydra Devil King with five Devil Heads. Although it had recovered and reached its strongest state, the rays of Light of Authority gathering behind Bai Mengmeng numbered in the thousands.

When they condensed together, they formed a slender but humongous hand made of divine light.

The gigantic hand then swatted at the Saturnine Hydra Devil King, smashing apart its attack and turning it into mere ashes that scattered across the land.

The two weren't even remotely on the same level.

The Saturnine Hydra Devil King's blazing face revealed immense fear as it shouted in terror, "How is this possible? How could you still be capable of creating such a vast amount of Light of Authority?"

It could sense that the Pill Saint was incomparably weaker than before!

Weng!

However, the Pill Saint ignored its cries. The hand made from the Light of Authority sealed off the space, grabbed the Saturnine Hydra Devil King's massive body, and swiftly annihilated the corruption source origin around it.

In just a short span of time, the seemingly unstoppable Saturnine Hydra Devil King was wiped out with a simple gesture, leaving behind only eight severed heads.

It was like an adult beating up a child.

Li Luo and the rest were watching the scene with great interest. Considering how strong Senior Pill Saint was, why was she hiding this whole time? Couldn't she have swatted this fly to death much sooner? Why did they have to struggle for so long?

The Demonic Flame Underworld King's expression also changed, filling with unease and fear, his eyes no longer calm.

At this moment, he understood that there was a mistake in the information he had received. Even though the Pill Saint had suffered a drop in strength across the years, the power she still possessed was far beyond the ability of an ordinary King to deal with.

Amidst the horrified gazes, Bai Mengmeng merely stared at the frantically struggling Saturnine Hydra Devil King indifferently.

"Did you really think that I was hiding because I was afraid of a miserable cretin like a Triple Crowned Devil King? You're merely a pawn in the grand scheme of things," she said, her voice cold and indifferent.

She then turned away as the Saturnine Hydra Devil King squirmed in the face of inevitable death, staring into the void.

"The puppet master behind the scenes is about to take action. Time to see who exactly would dare to plot against me!"
