Li Tingyue similarly understood his situation. The longer they kept the World's End River Meteor levitated, the greater the consumption of energy.
"Then i'll have to trouble the two of you." She replied courteously.
Jiang Qing'e then took action first, majestic amounts of resonant power pouring out from her, submerging the World's End River Meteor completely.
Li Luo similarly activated the Auric Halo and the Acquired Resonance Flame, supporting Jiang Qing'e's efforts to refine the World's End River Meteor and purify the corruption.
Behind them, 7000 Guardians continued to lend them their strength.
Li Hongyou continued to control 1000 Guardians, using her Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit to bolster them.
The refinement process had already become like second nature and thus there was no mistakes.
Thus four hours pa.s.sed.
The Dragon's Scale Guardians' World's End River Meteors had all been refined and 160,000 Star Pearls were obtained, leading to the Dragon's Scale Guardians feeling extremely exuberant.
Li Tingyue hurriedly activated her resonant power, collecting up all the Star Pearls as her gorgeous face gave a wide smile before she coquettishly asked Li Luo. "Grand Commander Li Luo, would you kindly be able to take care of the Dragon's Scale Guardians next month as well? We will definitely support you with any missions in future in return."
Li Luo had smoothly refined the Star Pearls with the aid of Jiang Qing'e and he had demonstrated his immeasurable value.
Thus she didn't hesitate to show her goodwill.
So what if it incurred Li Zhihuo's displeasure? That was a joke. Li Zhihuo was merely the Dragon's Blood Guardian's Guardian General, although they were the strongest, when compared to Li Luo's, just how many dragon essences was that really worth.
Li Luo smiled and accepted her kind intentions.
Li Luo then swapped out some of the Guardians who were now exhausted before rus.h.i.+ng over towards the Dragon's Bone Guardians.
Another four hours pa.s.sed.
The Dragon's Bone Guardians had feverish gazes as they watched 160,000 Star Pearls refined before them.
However, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's condition had clearly deteriorated after this. The refinement process was draining and the Dragon's Fang Guardians' formation strength had suffered a drop as well. Even with 8000 Guardians rotating in and out, it was not enough as the rest did their best to rest.
The only upside was that the Dragon's Horn Guardians' only required 120,000 Star Pearls which meant that it was less laborious.
They pushed on for another four hours and it was then when the refinement process for the Dragon's Horn Guardians was completed.
As the Star Pearls descended, the Dragon's Horn Guardians began to cheer incessantly.
Tens of thousands of eyes were now focused upon the pale and resonant power devoid Li Luo. On the side, Jiang Qing'e being at the Duke stage with a strong foundation was in a clearly better condition when compared to him.
However, all that was unimportant. What really mattered was that Li Luo had accomplished his mission of a.s.sisting the other three Guardian Armies.
What did this signify?
If Li Luo was capable of a.s.sisting them everytime the Falling Star Terrace opened, the amount of Star Pearls obtained would be incredible.
Their cultivation speed would thus increase significantly.
In the face of actual strength gain, what did dragon essences mean for? The goal of obtaining dragon essences was to exchange for better cultivation resources to improve their strength after all!
However, so long as the entire army was able to fork out 30,000 dragon essences, they could cost effectively raise their own strengths and after tasting such a sweet treat, how could they let go of it so easily?
It is often said that it was easy to go from a frugal to a luxurious lifestyle but not the reverse.
After experiencing the benefits of utilizing 160,000 Star Pearls, who would be willing to go back to the past?
So then how would Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e be treated since they were the ones who could give them such a wonderful experience?
Informally, someone capable of such a feat would be known as the Big Daddy! "Grand Commander Li Luo is almighty!"
"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang is almighty!"
Cacophonous cheers rang out from all of the four Guardian Armies except for those from the Dragon's Blood Guardians. At this point, the duo had undoubtedly been elevated to the peak.
They were not Guardian Generals but the prestige they held was no different from one.
The Dragon's Blood Guardians on the other hand were a plain of deathly silence. Their expressions were ugly as they felt like they had been ostracized. However they also understood that because Li Zhihuo and Li Hongque had created an acrimonious relations.h.i.+p with the duo, Li Luo would naturally not a.s.sist them with any refinement of Star Pearls.
They were originally proud of the amount of Star Pearls they were capable of refining but the gap had closed tremendously and any sense of superiority was gone.
Some of the Dragon's Blood Guardians didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction towards Li Zhihuo and instead directed their ire towards Li Hongque.
She naturally sensed these unhappy gazes and her heart was filled with frost and fury. The reputation she had bitterly raised amongst the Dragon's Blood Guardians had been torn apart by Li Luo's meddling. It seemed that from now on, she would be subject to a torrent of complaints during the refining of Star Pearls.
This would undoubtedly turn into a sort of long term torment for her.
Li Hongque was so angry her entire body trembled. Yet Li Luo was uninterested in dealing with Li Hongque in any case. After the refinement was completed, he was extremely exhausted and he just wanted to return to the Dragon's Fang Guardians to obtain his Star Pearls and cultivate in peace.
With that, his Heavenly Resonance Diagram might be able to take another step forward.
"Ah?" Just as Li Luo was about to turn, Jiang Qing'e suddenly let out a cry.
Li Luo was shocked by this. "Sister Qing'e, what's wrong?"
Jiang Qing'e then raised her head as her gaze penetrated the protective formation of Heavenly Dragon Peak, directly observing the gigantic and terrifying World End's River.
Li Luo similarly looked as well as his eyes shrunk.
He could see that the World End's River had become much more turbulent and restless. An describable sort of roar seemed to resound throughout the world as countless streams of black light spilled out from it, transforming into a meteor shower that blanketed the World End's River Region.
Some also descended in the direction of Heavenly Dragon Peak.
Li Luo could feel a chill arising within his body. He could sense extremely terrifying and dense corruption within these meteors.
These black meteors were clearly a transformation of powerful Others.
This sudden development caused the expressions of the five Guardian Generals to change.
In the next moment, a shrill alarm rang out which spread throughout Heavenly Dragon Peak.
Whoo!
As the shrill alarm permeated the air, the five Guardian Generals on the Falling Star Terrace had solemn expressions on their faces as they watched the black meteors descend. The amount of corruption emanating from it was incredibly dense and enough to shock them.
Clearly the meteors that descended from the World End's River contained frightening amounts of strong Others.
Li Foluo, Li Zhihuo, Li Tingyue and the rest rushed forward. The Five Guardian Armies immediately got into formation as majestic amounts of energy surged into the Guardian Generals. Although the Heavenly Dragon Peak was protected by the Golden Dragonscale Cloud Formation, they had to be prepared regardless.
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e returned to the Dragon's Fang Guardians as well. They curiously looked at the descending meteors. As the Falling Star Terrace was located high in the sky, they were also able to use it as a vantage point to see far into the distance. The black meteors were present everywhere and in a way, there was a twisted sense of beauty to it.
"What is going on?" Li Luo then asked Left Dragon Fang Envoy Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiang's expression was heavy as he replied. "This is the Descending Devil Tide."
"What is that?"
