Chapter 1148: Arrow Slays the Devil
Roar!
When Li Luo activated the True Dragon Seed Pill in his body, a mysterious and ancient power overflowed within him. Everyone in the surrounding watched in surprise as his body began to transform.
First, his body rapidly grew larger. At the same time, golden dragon scales appeared on the surface of his skin. His four limbs grew much stronger, as if they contained an extremely terrifying force within them. Lastly, his fingers grew thicker and sharper.
In just a few moments, both of his palms had turned into enormous dragon claws. His short grayish white hair continued to grow longer, like a waterfall that poured out from the back of his head. Before they knew it, Li Luo had morphed from a human into a fear inducing dragonoid! In this form, his body glittered with metallic dazzle, whilst giving off an indescribable sense of pressure to his surroundings.
His physical body had strengthened to a shocking level with dragonification from the True Dragon Pill.
Lu Ming and the others on the side watched with pale white faces under the influence of the immense dragonfear.
"Continue to transfer the energy to me!" Li Luo reminded them in a deep voice.
With the aid of dragonification, his body that was about to burst open earlier had increased in capacity.
Lu Ming and the rest gritted their teeth when they heard his words as they then continued to transfer their resonant power over to Li Luo.
Through this process, some of the students exhausted all their resonant power and fell weakly onto the ground. The other students hurried up to support these students.
As the enormous amount of energy continued to pour in, Li Luo began to shine brightly. The dragon scales all over his body were scintillating with blinding light.
Everytime he so much as moved his body, the void appeared to shudder in his presence.
He was like a ticking time bomb. If anything were to go wrong, it would cause a catastrophic explosion.
As such, Lu Ming and the rest were watching him anxiously. If Li Luo were to explode, they would also be caught up in it.
Nonetheless, the arrow had already been drawn on the bow. It was too late for them to turn back and they could only tough things through and continue to transfer energy.
Gradually, some cracking sounds could be faintly heard coming from Li Luo that seemed to originate from his scales. He was clearly reaching his new maximum capacity as well.
Even with the stronger physical body, it seemed like the energy that was contained within him was still too much.
Besides, these were only the signs seen on his physical exterior. In the three resonant palace within Li Luo, it was shining like a blinding sun. Every vein within him appeared to be containing rampaging primal beasts that rippled with sheer power.
Excruciating pain surged through him.
It was then when Li Luo finally understood that he had truly reached his maximum capacity.
If he continued to take in any more energy, the resonant palaces in him would explode and his physical body would crumble.
In a certain sense, this was similar to the times where he borrowed the power of the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf. However, the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf's power only possessed a single will. In comparison, the power he had gotten from the group contained many slight differences. Even with the refinement from the Ancient Spirit Leaf, it was still challenging for Li Luo to control all of them.
If the power from the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was like a gushing river, this power of the group was like thousands of little streams flowing all into him. The former only required a huge dam to keep it under control. The latter, on the other hand, required him to focus his mind in order to prevent it from spilling all over the plains.
Phew.
Li Luo let out a deep sigh. It was truly difficult to harness and wield the power of the entire group with so many contrasting wills. Fortunately, he had already come up with a plan beforehand.
Li Luo signaled to Lu Ming and the rest with a look in his eyes. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief and fell back with pale white faces.
"Li Luo, it's all up to you now." Lu Ming said playfully.
Li Luo's body was completely rigid at the moment. He could only give her a look to tell her there would be no problems. Then, he focused his mental state and channeled all the resonant power in his body into the mysterious Auric Halo.
Slowly, the Auric Halo began to rotate. It sat there quietly and took in all the energy, no matter how much Li Luo poured into it.
Then, the Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow materialized in Li Luo's hands.
Li Luo easily pulled back the string of the bow with his enhanced dragonification strength. It vibrated slightly as he pulled it taut. In the next instance, radiant light resonant power condensed onto his bow as everyone watched in awe.
This light resonant power was immense. For a moment, it seemed to light up the entirety of the swamp city for a moment like an incandescent sun.
Much of the thick white mist filled with corruption disintegrated.
Li Luo had transformed all the resonant power in his body into light resonant power.
After all, the Blood Ossuary Carrier had fused with the Other. Light resonant power would be the most effective panacea against him.
In his current state, even the arms of Li Luo had been enveloped in light. They shone like crystal clear gems as his eyes glowed with brilliance.
With his muscular dragon body and grayish white hair flying behind him, the sight of him didn't seem to resemble a human.
An arrow that resembled a holy crystal materialized on the bow. This arrow might have been created from energy but mysterious runes flowed atop it, as if it was a real physical object.
Some of the Greater Heavenly Resonance individuals in the surroundings were taken aback when they noticed the arrow.
This was especially true for the Black Ossuary Carriers. They could sense the threat of grave danger coming their way. If this arrow of Li Luo struck them, it would completely annihilate them without a trace.
With his sudden outburst of terrifying light resonant power, Li Luo had attracted the attention of those engaged in the main battles in the center of the battlefield.
"What domineering light resonant power. What did Li Luo do this time?" Shock appeared on Yue Zhiyu's beautiful face. Such strong light resonant power was comparable to hers.
This Li Luo was just a Heavenly Pearl. How could he be able to do this?
However, her surprise was soon followed by delight. Their situation was really bad at the moment. It was only with the emergence of a wild card like Li Luo would they finally have a chance to turn things around.
At the same time, the trio who were locked in a fierce fight with the Blood Ossuary Carrier glanced over from the corners of their eyes. The eyes of Feng Lingyuan and Duan Mu seemed to light up with a smile.
Wei Chonglou was filled with mixed emotions about this. The more spectacular Li Luo was, the more unhappy he was. After all, they were both rivals in love. "Who's he planning to shoot with this arrow?" In the next instance, the question popped up in everyone's mind.
Li Luo quickly gave them the answer.
The tip of the arrow slowly turned and faced the Blood Ossuary Carrier.
As Li Luo locked onto his target, the eyes of the Blood Ossuary Carrier turned dark. This dazzling crystal arrow of light resonant power gave him a really uneasy feeling.
Under normal circumstances, he might not be afraid of Li Luo's arrow in a 1v1 fight. However, he had three other strong foes in front of him at the moment.
Even if he wasn't at a disadvantage despite the 1v3 situation, he was barely able to eke out any advantage over the 3 of them either.
If Li Luo were to add his arrow into this situation, it would completely tilt the balance.
The Blood Ossuary Carrier's face darkened and his figure retreated immediately.
However, Feng Lingyuan had long been prepared for this. She formed handseals with both hands and gray black light shot out from the surrounding space.
"Duke Art: Binding God of Ten Thousand Shadows!"
The gray black light rapidly wrapped around the body of the Blood Ossuary Carrier. Although his body continuously emitted a chilly energy to dissolve these light strands, they resiliently resisted being completely destroyed. It held the Blood Ossuary Carrier firmly on the spot, not allowing him to escape.
Duan Mu took a step forward. Emerald resonant power swept across the sky and an enormous beam of energy fell down from his Heavenly Resonance Diagram. It directly transformed into the Emerald Buddha's hands forming a handseal.
These Buddha's hands were like the mountain, directly pressing down from the sky with its overwhelming pressure.
"Duke Art: Emerald Wood Buddha's Hand!"
Wei Chonglou did not stand around idly either. A crimson red Heavenly Resonance Diagram spread out across the sky above him which rippled with crimson red energy, akin to heavenly fire burning the skies. From time to time, a giant shadow could be faintly seen within this sea of flames. The five fingers clenched together and it descended down from the sky.
"Duke Art: Flame God's Nine Spirits!"
Boom!
The void cracked open. A burning crimson red stallion that was thousands of feet tall charged towards the Blood Ossuary Carrier directly.
All three of them were the elites within the Ancient College. They grabbed hold of the opportunity to launch their strongest attacks, coordinating seamlessly to finish off the Blood Ossuary Carrier at this moment.
The Blood Ossuary Carrier sensed the imminent danger approaching him. He gave a guttural cough and a blood red substance continuously flowed out of his ossuary which tunneled into his body.
The body of the Blood Ossuary Carrier then began to wriggle and contort as he transformed into a bloody red giant. This giant seemed to be stitched out of huge chunks of flesh. It didn't even have any skin. On its flesh, horrifying eyeballs began to emerge as blood spilled out.
"Hundred Eyes Flaming Blood Talisman!"
A thick bloody red flame spewed out from those eyeballs on the Blood Ossuary Carrier. Then, they merged into a strange and creepy giant talisman.
Fresh blood flowed on the talisman and lines of eyeballs could be faintly seen on it.
Clearly, the Blood Ossuary Carrier had used his strongest spell to defend against this coordinated attack from the Ancient College.
Weng!
The Emerald Wood Buddha's Hand and ferocious flames roared at the same time. These two Duke Arts contained all the power from Duan Mu and Wei Chonglou as it clashed directly onto the blood talisman.
Bang!
A wild wave of energy swept through the air. The void trembled repeatedly and the shockwaves blew the surrounding members from both sides away.
The bloody red eyeballs on the blood talismans kept blinking one after another. However, the energy emitted from it was enough to stop the deadly attack from Duan Mu and Wei Chonglou.
Tui!
In the same moment, shadow energy in the void quietly condensed as if it had fused into a black shadow. From a tricky angle, it flew towards the blood talisman and pierced through it. The blood talisman reacted violently as the bloody eyeballs on the talismans began to blink even faster.
The faces of Feng Lingyuan, Duan Mu and Wei Chonglou turned red at this moment. They had exhausted all their strength and both sides were currently locked in battle of attrition. There was no way for them to back off now.
With the way things were, Li Luo's arrow would truly determine if they could turn things around!
With that thought in mind, it was then when another burst of blinding light resonant power filled the skies of the Swamp City. Like a rising sun, the corruption in the air vanished as light swept over it.
Everyone watched in stupor as the light spilled across the horizon and reached the ends of the sky.
Rolling light resonant power surged forward like white waves. The arrow had returned to slay the devil.
