ABSOLUTE RESONANCE

Chapter 1288: Blackwater Guardians, Heaven Devouring Guardians



Chapter 1288: Blackwater Guardians, Heaven Devouring Guardians

Many figures rushed over from the two different directions. An enormous amount of energy surged up and enveloped the skies of Black Soul Peak.

These newcomers were powerful forces that were leagues above Zhao Zhuoyan.

Looking at the size of the armies, the Blackwater Guardians and Heaven Devouring Guardians were clearly the strongest two powers on the battlefield right now.

The faces on the rogue cultivators changed immediately when they saw their arrival. They knew that their chance of getting the Sovereign Pearl had completely vanished.

Li Luo’s gaze had turned gloomy as well. He could sense that there were at least 5000 Guardians amongst the Blackwater Guardians and Heaven Devouring Guardians respectively. This wasn’t something that he would be able to handle with his current strength.

Besides, he just concluded a cataclysmic battle with Zhao Zhuoyan earlier. Although he did not deplete all his energy in that fight, more than half of it had been used up. It was clearly impossible for him to fight back against these two Heavenly Emperor forces right now.

“Grand Commander Li Luo, it’s impressive that you’re able to defeat the second-grade Duke Zhao Zhuoyan with just 2000 Guardians with your Greater Heavenly Resonance strength. This is enough to bring you much renown in the World End’s River Region. However, you can’t steal all the limelight for yourself. If you’re willing to hand over the Sovereign Pearl, I’ll guarantee that you can return to Heavenly Dragon Peak safely.” In front of the Blackwater Guardians, the charismatic Chu Qing said with a slight grin.

Right beside him, Qin Yi was also staring at Li Luo with a complex expression on her beautiful eyes. Her resonant power was clearly superior to Li Luo’s back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. It’s only been a year since they last met. Yet, Li Luo appeared to have completely eclipsed her right now.

The consecutive news of his spectacular achievements had been truly surprising.

Even now, he was able to defeat Zhao Zhuoyan, the Grand Commander of Divine Tiger Guardians, with just 2000 Guardians and his Greater Heavenly Resonance strength.

His talent was so stunning that even the usually proud Qin Yi felt impressed. It seemed like Li Luo would be the undisputed leader amongst his peers in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.

Unfortunately, the two of them were on opposing sides and coupled with the enmity sown from the previous generation, they were destined to clash against each other today.

Qin Lian was extremely excited when she heard about the news of Li Luo trying to fight his way back to the Heavenly Dragon Peak with the Sovereign Pearl. She had summoned Chu Qing and Qin Yi immediately and deployed all the Blackwater Guardians that were resting at the moment. They rushed over without any hesitation to intercept him immediately.

Previously, Qin Lian had been severely injured by Li Jingzhe and she lost all her face, having suffered terribly during that incident. Her frustration that had been bottled up had no way of release. Now that such a good opportunity for revenge presented itself in front of her, there was no way she would let go of this chance.

She instantly gave the order to Chu Qing. If they were able to intercept Li Luo, they must snatch the Sovereign Pearl away from him!

This would be a conflict amongst the younger generation. Surely, Li Jingzhe wouldn’t step in right? Even if he did, Qin Lian would be more than happy to see Li Jingzhe acting wantonly. If that happened, Li Jingzhe would face criticism internally. After all, did he really think that the other powers had no one watching over their own people?

The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li was not the strongest in the world. Even in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, there were other Heavenly Emperor lineages that served as a check and balance against them. Li Jingzhe wouldn’t be able to do everything as he pleased just because he’s a Quasi-Triple Crown King. As Qin Yi was thinking about all this, Li Luo stared at the two magnificent forces standing in his way. He sighed in his heart. Black Soul Peak was right in front of his eyes. However, that short distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

He had really tried his best as he fought his way over here.

For a few moments, he pondered in silence. He stretched out his hands and a dazzling golden pearl appeared in the middle of his palm. The brilliant light it gave off radiated a distance over thousands of feet long.

This was the Sovereign Pearl.

As soon as it appeared, everyone stared at it greedily.

“It seems like I won’t be able to keep this Sovereign Pearl today. Unfortunately, I only have one of them. Since both the Blackwater Guardians and Heaven Devouring Guardians are here, who should I hand it over to?” Li Luo asked.

The atmosphere froze as soon as he posed the question.

Both of Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed. This was a blunt provocation from Li Luo. Anyone could tell what he was up to. With only one Sovereign Pearl up for grabs, he was trying to make him fight it out with the Heaven Devouring Guardians.

However, it was the fact that it was such a practical solution that made it truly troubling for him.

It was a fact that there was only one Sovereign Pearl available. Now that the Heaven Devouring Guardians from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu had also arrived on the scene, there was no way they would sit idly by and let him take the Sovereign Pearl away, right?

At this point, a fat man walked up to the front of the Heaven Devouring Guardians. He had a thousand pound hammer in his hand and immense waves of resonant power could be felt coming out of him.

“Haha! Grand Commander Li Luo, my Lineage Brother Zhu Dayu, had told me previously that he owed you once back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Sadly, that is a private matter and I, Zhu Dahai, can’t let you walk off scot free just because of that. Since you are already acquainted with Zhu Dayu, why don’t you let us have the Sovereign Pearl this time? I’ll definitely find a way to return the favor next time.” The fat man named Zhu Dahai said with loud laughter.

Li Luo couldn’t help but smile when he heard this. This fatty had already thought things through and made his decision.

With those words, Zhu Dahai was declaring to the rest that the Sovereign Pearl was also his goal. There was no way he would idly sit by and watch Chu Qing take the Sovereign Pearl away.

The dilemma was evident.

Chu Qing frowned. The golden and silver rings on his arms slowly slid down into his hands. He looked over at Zhu Dahai, “Brother Zhu, Li Luo is just trying to create a chaotic situation and buy time. If you wish to fight for the Sovereign Pearl, I am more than willing to entertain you. But I suggest that we grab onto the Sovereign Pearl first before we talk about who deserves it. Since you guys owe him a favor, I don’t mind playing the villain. I’ll take hold of the Sovereign Pearl first and we can each send one representative to stand guard over it. We can fight for it afterwards. What’d you think about this plan?”

Zhu Dahai was a little surprised when he heard his suggestion. Clearly Chu Qing was no one simple having quickly analyzed the situation.

He took the initiative to accept Li Luo’s provocation, mainly because Zhu Dayu had shown some goodwill with his words earlier. If he took action first and the two sides clashed, the situation would turn chaotic and the outcome would be less certain for them.

In the end, Chu Qing chose to strike a deal, volunteering to be the bad guy and to snatch the Sovereign Pearl from Li Luo first. The two sides could then fight for it afterwards.

This made it hard for Zhu Dahai to turn down the offer. Otherwise it would be challenging to explain to his side his decision and the higher ups might even question him when he returned later.

“Magnificent suggestion. We’ll do as you say.” Zhu Dahai replied with a big grin. His eyes lit up.

Chu Qing nodded his head. His sharp eyes immediately turned towards Li Luo and he took a step forward. The 5000 Blackwater Guardians got into formation and a terrifying amount of energy poured into him.

A bright beam of light shot out of his head. Two towering Duke Bergfrieds materialized in the air, each with 9 pillars. A thick amount of Divine Mist slowly arose into the air.

Lu Shuanglu stared at the two Duke Bergfrieds and commended him. “What an extraordinary foundation. This Chu Qing has two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds.”

Although it wasn’t as shocking as having a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, he was a top genius to be able to construct two Nine-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds. It was evident that he possessed the requisite talent and if the opportunity arose in future, he might even succeed in forging a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.

Looking at his Duke Bergfrieds, Chu Qing was most likely an upper second-grade Duke in the late stage. This was way ahead of Zhao Zhuoyan, whom Li Luo had defeated earlier.

“Grand Commander Li Luo, are you going to hand the Sovereign Pearl over to me? Or should I take it myself?” Chu Qing calmly said.

Li Luo narrowed both of his eyes as he grasped tightly onto his Dragon Elephant Blade.

Seeing this, Chu Qing did not waste time with any more words either. He stretched out his hands and worldly natural energy in the surrounding shook vigorously. An energy manifestation of a hand that was thousands of feet wide descended on Li Luo’s location directly.

Li Luo looked up at it with calm eyes. On his back, immense sword energy began to circulate. Faintly, an ancient sword formation could be seen behind him.

Just as Li Luo was about to summon up all his resonant power to fight back, the energy hand that was falling onto him came to a halt all of a sudden.

It seemed like an invisible force had held it back.

Chu Qing’s face changed a little when he noticed the sudden development. He turned his head around quickly and saw a massive undulation of energy coming from the distant end of Black Soul Peak.

Weng!

The world space in the sky appeared to be torn open by the giant fangs of a dragon. Lights shot out of it onto the sky above the Black Soul Peak.

At the same time, an indifferent voice resounded in the air.

“Try and reach out with your hands if you dare.”

Li Luo was relieved when he heard that familiar voice. A delighted smile appeared on his face instantly.

This was the voice of Guardian General Li Foluo.

After dragging it out for so long, his reinforcements from the Heavenly Dragon Peak had finally arrived.
