Chapter 1681: World Shaking Achievement
When Li Luo split into three, each one of them drawing the bow created from the power of Authority, the heavens and the earth turned silent. Even the surging tide of Others seemed to cower in fear. The power of three arrows was truly terrifying.
Li Luo's expression was placid, his gaze piercing through the void to focus on each of the three escaping figures. The three Triple Crowned Devil Kings were also cunning in their own right. They knew that his ninth-grade Transcendent state wouldn't last forever, so they simply had to dodge his most dangerous move. After he reverted back to the peak of the eighth-grade, their battle would resume.
Li Luo had secluded himself in silence for five years, and this was the day he was going to reveal his brilliance to the world. How could these three disasters be allowed to escape?
"Since I'm here, you'll all... die," he muttered to himself. He then released the bowstring, causing the bow to shake.
His clones released their arrows as well. Frightening undulations raged through the surrounding space, tearing open spatial rifts. It was as though the entire sky was about to collapse. The entire world seemed to explode in a grand cacophony of sound, heard by everyone within tens of thousands of miles. All of the surrounding worldly natural energy was roused, transforming into a trail of brilliant flames that followed the arrows.
The three arrows had caused a strange phenomenon that almost half of all the Kings on the East Divine Continent could sense. They all raised their heads and looked up in surprise.
The people in the Paragon Fortune Mountain Range's numerous fortresses and cities looked into the sky. They saw three humongous rifts appear, each as deep as an abyss. Space fragments constantly rain down from them, resembling broken pieces of glass.
King Zhao Ming, Liu Yuan, and Pang Qianyuan, three veteran King Stage experts, were like statues as they witnessed the arrows of light arc through the void. The arrows were condensed from the Light of Authority, so they could be considered attacks from a Heavenly Emperor. As a result, any existence below that realm would be under considerable pressure if they were targeted.
Pang Qianyuan had seen Li Luo fuse his resonances with the help of the Absolute Resonance Halo in Xia City five years ago, temporarily achieving a supreme ninth-grade resonance. The resulting Light of Authority that had been created was able to heavily cripple the Five Devil Head Saturnine Hydra Devil King.
However, the Light of Authority this time was multiple times stronger, and Li Luo had managed to use that mystical clone art to duplicate it. Even though the fluctuations that the clones were emitting were clearly illusion resonant power, they seemed to exist in the realm of reality, meaning that everything they did would be real. Therefore, Light of Authority had effectively been tripled!
Not even an ordinary Triple Crowned King would be able to deal with such an attack. Perhaps only a peak Triple Crowned King, one who had already peaked into the realm of the Heavenly Emperors, would be able to do so.
"They're screwed," Pang Qianyuan mumbled with relief. Who would have thought that the Devil Kings who were on the verge of annihilating the Enlightened Sage Alliance would start fleeing like stray dogs?
In the brief moment it had taken for him to utter those two words, the three arrows of light had vanished into the ends of the horizon. Several moments later, three terrifying bursts of corruption source origin erupted from afar in the void, staining everything pitch-black.
Three devilish figures began to expand rapidly, as though they were three paramount devil gods who stood between the heavens and the earth, emitting boundless corruption source origin. All three furiously roared simultaneously. Clearly, Li Luo's arrows had caught up to them and they were unable to flee. Thus, they had to bring out everything they had to block them. Alas, there was nothing they could do to change the outcome.
The vast and almighty Authority was like a hurricane sweeping through the clouds, instantly smashing apart the corruption source origin. The three devilish gods were then crushed into mere fragments.
The Saturnine Hydra Devil King suffered the most, as Li Luo hated it to the bone. After all, it was the cause of the Xia Kingdom's Other Disaster. Li Luo didn't have the power to erase it from existence five years ago, but things had changed—he would settle this grudge with overbearing force. Thus, he had sent the original arrow after it.
The Saturnine Hydra Devil King's wails echoed through the sky, turning into berserk soundwaves that were visible to the naked eye. Its voice could be heard for hundreds of thousands of miles. The entire world shook, seeming as though the end was nigh. Its devil god form exploded, transforming into black flames that gushed across the skies. It looked like a black sun was descending onto the world.
King Zhao Ming, Pang Qianyuan, and the rest looked at the terrifying changes to the environment in fright. This was the phenomenon that occurred when a King fell. The Saturnine Hydra Devil King, which once stood at the pinnacle of the Triple Crowned Devil King Stage, had suffered crippling blow after crippling blow, and this time, it had finally died.
In the other two directions, the White Scorpion Devil King and the Divine Banner Devil King's devil god forms collapsed, and they let out fearful and pained roars.
Even so, they had not turned into exploding black suns. Perhaps it was because of the fact that the two illusory arrows were a little weaker than the original.
The remaining Devil Kings transformed into two dim streams of corruption, shooting towards the sky in an attempt to escape into the gap of the Realm Wall. When they turned to flee, Pang Qianyuan and the rest could sense that the pitch-black devil crowns above them had lost two of their layers. This meant that they had both become ordinary Single Crowned Devil Kings after taking Li Luo's vicious blow! This was truly a tragic end.
The Paragon Fortune Mountain Range's defensive lines had turned silent. No matter how surprised the numerous experts were, they were still lost in a daze. Three Triple Crowned Devil Kings had marched up to their walls, and one was slain and two had been massively crippled. Just how terrifying was this result? Had a single Triple Crowned Devil King been killed in the East Divine Continent before? No!
Countless eyes turned to the youthful figure floating in the sky, full of reverence and awe. In the past, Jiang Qing'e, the Twelved Winged Radiant Goddess, had an outstanding reputation due to her many achievements. Coupled with the fact that Li Luo had been in seclusion for five years with no word, some individuals with unsavory intentions started to think that the two weren't suitable for each other. After today, however, perhaps not a single person would dare to utter such words.
The phenomenon from the Devil King's fall lasted for a long time before things regained their calm. Everyone could sense the worldly natural energy around them becoming much more vibrant as it surged with renewed intensity. It was as though the heavens and the earth were celebrating this feat.
The bow created from Authority dissipated in Li Luo's hand. The clones also vanished like smoke. Above him, the ninth Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried began to dim rapidly, eventually turning into a dim light that entered his body.
After the Divine Fruit fragment had been completely burned as fuel, Li Luo's strength had fallen back to the peak of the eighth-grade. Even so, his experience in the ninth-grade had allowed him gain some knowledge of that realm. When he truly stepped into the ninth-grade, it would be much smoother and almost familiar.
"Oh?" Li Luo sensed something and raised his head. As he observed his surroundings, he felt as though he was even more in tune with the world. He was endowed with an indescribable sort of blessing, causing vast amounts of worldly natural energy to stream into his body endlessly, solidifying his foundation further. He already possessed an unfathomable and sturdy foundation, one far superior to the average person's. However, the heavens and the earth had given him a reward as well.
"This is the reward for your battle achievements. The world has sensed your contributions and will bolster your foundation with the Fortune of Heaven and Earth," Jiang Qing'e said.
She wasn't surprised at this result. In the last five years, she had slaughtered countless Other Kings and had received this blessing as well. It wasn't only her—countless geniuses across the Divine Continent Federation had also experienced similar benefits.
This left Li Luo pondering over the implications. The reward was extraordinary, and if he received it a few more times, he would truly break into the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage. With that in mind, his eyes blazed with anticipation and excitement. The Ten Years of Heavenly Fate seemed to have been made just for him.
