Chapter 1360: Restored Divine Spirit Treasure Tree
"A Grand Devil King!" Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were shocked by Li Lingjing's revelation. It was an existence that was comparable to a Heavenly Emperor, and even they were shaken despite their personalities. In addition to their fright, a look of anxiety appeared on Li Luo's face. If a Grand Devil King was truly summoned by the Origin Reversion Institute, then Li Jingzhe, as the strongest individual within the World's End River Region, would definitely bear the brunt of things.
Although he was a Quasi-Triple Crown, he would be utterly helpless before a Heavenly Emperor.
"We can't let this go on. I'll have to inform Grandpa and get him to leave the World's End River Region," Li Luo said anxiously.
Jiang Qing'e fell silent. "You're still trapped here, and all of the Dragon's Fang Lineage's direct lineages are here as well. Even if Grandpa were to know of this news, he wouldn't choose to escape alone. The Stygian Rain of Calamity's early descent must be part of the Origin Reversion Institute's ploy. They chose to seal off the World's End River Region and prevent the other Heavenly Emperor powers from reinforcing us. Furthermore, they might even have incited strife amongst the other Heavenly Emperor powers to tie down their Kings."
Li Luo slumped downwards when he heard her words. Indeed, it wasn't just him trapped here—First Uncle Li Qingpeng and Second Li Jinpan were here as well. His Elder Brother and Second Sister were also in Heavenly Dragon City, and with his grandpa's personality, he would never abandon them and escape alone. Li Luo was left a little dazed. When faced with the prospect of meeting a Grand Devil King, he felt completely powerless as the gap between them was so large, he could only languish in despair. It wasn't only him—even the usually cool and collected Jiang Qing'e had fallen silent.
Li Lingjing's news was beyond shocking, and even if they were to relay this to Qin Beiming and the rest, who knew how many would simply give up there and then?
At this point in time, Li Lingjing said, "There is no need to be overly depressed over this. If the Grand Devil King were to truly descend, it would indeed be a calamity, but it is not easy to lure something that powerful. So long as it has not completely descended, there is the opportunity to turn things around."
Li Luo then asked, "How do they plan to attract the Grand Devil King?"
Li Lingjing's snake form pointed its tail towards the gigantic, blood-red flower bud as she answered, "What is gestating within the flower bud is the object to lure the Devil King. Once it is fully grown, it should be able to lure in a Grand Devil King. But if you are able to destroy it, it might potentially halt the process altogether."
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's minds were seemingly struck by a lightning bolt. So it turned out that the existence that was being nurtured here was the object needed to lure in a Grand Devil King!
"Regardless, we will have to wreck that thing.
"If we remove those two top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures, the flower bud will lose its energy source and no longer be able to grow," Jiang Qing'e said.
"Li Luo, now is not the time to give up. The Origin Reversion Institute will come prepared, and Grandpa might already be restrained from taking action. Eldest Uncle and the rest should have also fallen into some sort of predicament and thus, we haven't heard anything from them either. If we wish to break out of this situation, we'll have to rely on ourselves." Jiang Qing'e tightly gripped the sword in her hand as her absolutely breathtaking face turned serious. Behind her, the three radiant halos began to shine with immense light. Her well-fitted armor accentuated her exquisite curves and straight legs.
The stunning aura she gave off was not inferior to that of an actual goddess of light, and even Li Lingjing couldn't help but to take another look at her. She didn't just possess unrivaled strength in battle, her character was unyielding and she would remain clear-minded in the face of any crisis.
"Of course I won't give up." Li Luo shelved the fear he had of the Grand Devil King. He tightened his grip on the scale-covered Dragon Elephant Blade and his gaze turned serious.
Li Lingjing moved as quick as a flash and wrapped around Li Luo's wrist like a thin, black bracelet. At the same time, her soft voice was transmitted to him. "I will help you."
The cold touch on his skin was a reminder that she was going to be with him all the way. Li Luo lightly replied, "Cousin Lingjing, thank you very much."
She had traveled tens of thousands of miles to inform them of such vital news. This moved Li Luo's heart, but from a certain perspective, Li Lingjing belonged to the Origin Reversion Institute. Wouldn't her actions put her in danger? Li Luo hesitated, but before he could make further sense of things, Jiang Qing'e had already shot forward.
As such, he hurriedly followed.
The two speedily zoomed ahead as quickly as they could, right towards the flower bud. As the two approached, the flower bud began to emit massive sound waves. All of the corrupted experts and the Giant Flesh Golem that was being held back immediately attempted to retreat to protect its core.
"Restrain them!" Qin Beiming thunderously ordered. This reaction was a positive sign as it indicated that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e did indeed pose a threat to the flower bud. After his voice rang out, he immediately burst forth with immense amounts of resonant power. The five towering Duke Bergfried above him began to churn with power, suppressing the Giant Flesh Golem.
Li Zhihuo, Zhao Xiuyuan, and the rest similarly roused all their power, and all their Duke Bergfrieds rushed over, directly slamming downwards and adding on to the force Qin Beiming was exerting on the golem.
Meanwhile, Li Foluo, Li Tingyue, Qin Yi, Lu Shuanglu, and the rest of the crowd began to summon up all of their remaining strength as they went all-out to restrain the corrupted experts in any way they could. A moment later, countless beams of resonant power rose up like trails of smoke, colliding violently against the wide fog of corruption.
The entire battlefield descended into frenetic chaos.
Meanwhile, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had not been bogged down in any way. They very quickly approached the roots of the flower bud.
At the same time, they could see the two balls of light suspended in the air.
What attracted Li Luo's attention was the seven-colored fruit in one of them, the Seven Treasures Fruit.
The other top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure was a brownish-yellow spirit pearl. They both gave off strong undulations of spiritual energy and even caused his resonant palaces to let out cries of desire for them.
To any Duke, these were treasures that they would give their lives for.
He and Jiang Qing'e carefully observed for a moment before taking action. Two streams of resonant power shot out like a rainbow, targeting the treasures.
The ground suddenly shattered and countless blood-red rhizomes that resembled humongous snakes tunneled upwards, looking to attack the duo.
However, the tiny black snake around Li Luo's wrist opened its mouth and exerted a mighty suction force. All of the fleshy plant appendages were transformed back into corruption and were then absorbed by it. It was no more than a tasty supplement to Li Lingjing.
With her assistance, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's attacks arrived before the two Foundational Spirit Treasures and, with a single motion, directly severed them from the roots.
At the same time, their resonant power wrapped around the two treasures and pulled them back.
The two balls of light were now floating before the duo. The one before Jiang Qing'e was the Seven Treasures Fruit, whereas the spirit pearl was in front of Li Luo.
Jiang Qing'e waved her hand, and the Divine Spirit Treasure Tree appeared. When it came out, the Seven Treasures Fruit seemed to be attracted to it, floating towards the tree before connecting itself to a branch. With the Seven Treasures Fruit attached, the Divine Spirit Treasure Tree began to exude a glorious radiance. Ancient runes surfaced on its trunk, almost like scales. At the same time, it began to radiate increasing amounts of spiritual energy at an alarming rate.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e glanced at each other, letting out sighs of shock. The spiritual energy undulations coming from the Divine Spirit Treasure Tree were no weaker than what the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus emitted. This meant that it was absolutely a top-grade Foundational Spirit Treasure.
With such an object, even an ordinary Duke would be capable of forging a nine pillar Duke Bergfried!
"With this and your latent potential, I'm sure you can forge a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried." Jiang Qing'e glanced at him as she pushed the treasure towards Li Luo with a slight smile.
"Li Luo, congratulations. You are about to embark on the Path of Ascension."
