It might be at the upper fourth-grade but so was Li Foluo. With the addition of Jiang Qing'e and her affinity at harming and suppressing Others, the fact that the True Devil was able to hold on for such a long period of time was only because the duo had not wished to damage the two high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures growing atop its strange horns. Thus they held back a little.
Amidst the group's elated eyes, Li Foluo and Jiang Qing'e returned. Before them were the two green branches that exuded a spiritual light.
The Foundational Spirit Treasures were now in their hands.
"You dealt with four upper first-grade True Devil Others?"
Li Foluo's figure descended as he stared at Li Luo in utter shock. Even he was taken aback by his achievement.
This sort of result was incredibly impressive even when placed amongst those in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. It might very well be something that no one would be able to match even in a hundred years time.
Li Luo gave a slight smirk, "I've surprised the Guardian General."
In retrospect, this result was also out of his expectations. He hadn't thought that with just the addition of a Heavenly Dragon resonance would allow the Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon to reach such an imposing level of might, capable of slaughtering four True Devil Others in one blow.
Based on his own estimates, the Three Dragon's Heavenly Banner Canon was a low-grade Destiny grade Duke Art and with the aid of the Heavenly Dragon resonance, it would reach the might of a middle-grade Destiny grade.
Li Foluo's gaze turned complicated. Ever since Li Luo arrived in the Dragon's Fang Guardians, he might have had a relatively low profile when compared to Jiang Qing'e resulting in many inadvertently ignoring him. However his abilities had been completely revealed today which was enough to cause a huge sensation amongst the Five Guardian Armies.
This was because other than being subject to Li Hongyou's buff, Li Luo had fully relied on his own strength.
Just what sort of ability was this.
"Everyone has underestimated you. Your talent and methods are nothing less when compared to Jiang Qing'e. I look forward to the day you break into the Duke stage." Li Foluo sighed. Perhaps that would be the day that the Dragon's Fang Guardians give rise to a pair of unrivaled geniuses. If that was the case, the Dragon's Fang Guardians would attain an unprecedented era and the thought of it caused his heart to tremble.
Jiang Qing'e's bright eyes were focused on Li Luo's body. Her gaze had turned warm as she knew just how much effort he had put in all these years.
Back then, this youth from Southwind Academy had taken a huge gamble.
He gambled with his entire life, giving him only five years of lifespan to accomplish a goal.
As of now, almost four years have pa.s.sed.
This was the last year he had left and he was just one step away from the Duke stage. Li Foluo was looking forward to the maturing of yet another genius but to her, it was about resolving the sword that dangled above his head.
The good thing was that after years of waiting, that moment was finally at hand. Jiang Qing'e sincerely felt happy about this.
Seemingly reading her thoughts, Li Luo gave her a radiant smile as if to comfort her before turning his gaze towards the two branches which looked like they were made of jasper. There were countless lines engraved upon its body and a subtle fragrance emanated from it, causing one's body to yearn for it.
Foundational Spirit Treasures were the hardest currency in the world.
However when Li Luo closely examined the two jasper tree branches, his expression changed as he frowned.
"Did you sense that something is wrong with these two Foundational Spirit Treasures again?" Li Foluo couldn't help but to ask upon seeing his reaction. Jiang Qing'e had previously already stopped him from coming into contact with these treasures previously.
Li Luo nodded his head as he looked at Jiang Qing'e. "Sister Qing'e, did you sense it too?"
Jiang Qing'e nodded her head as she frowned. "I've used my light resonant power to probe it but I was unable to find the source of the danger within."
"If even you are unable to discover the source of the issue, it means that this danger has been concealed even more deeply than we have expected. Of course there is another possibility, that the two of us have been mistaken the entire time." Li Luo helplessly replied.
Jiang Qing'e directly rejected this possibility. She was very confident that her instincts were not wrong.
Li Luo similarly felt that way as the Auric Halo was something extraordinary and its warnings wouldn't be groundless.
"Could it be that all of the Foundational Spirit Treasures within the Treasure Domain have an issue and we shouldn't come into contact with them?" Li Foluo sighed. It wasn't that he didn't trust the duo but rather it was unbearable that there were all these treasures before him but he was unable to touch it at all.
Li Luo sighed lightly, "Since we can't discover what the hidden danger is, then let's forget about it. We can first join hands and see if we can purify it together, just like how we dealt with the World's End River Meteor. So long as it's effective, the hidden dangers within should also be eliminated."
Li Luo believed that the combination of Jiang Qing'e's triple ninth-grade Light resonances and his Acquired Resonance Flame should be able to reveal the issue so long as it had to do with the Others. It wouldn't be able to escape.
That said he might not be able to carry out such a precise refinement right now with his current strength, possibly having to tap upon the Heavenly Wolf's power.
"That is one possibility." Jiang Qing'e nodded her head. "However this location isn't appropriate. Now that we have the high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures in hand, the Other Dominion should start to dissipate and we have to make preparations to leave quickly."
With that she waved her hand and kept the Foundational Spirit Treasures away. Bang!
However it was at this moment when berserk resonant power that resembled a rainbow pierced through the void and shot towards them, directly attempting to envelope the two Foundational Spirit Treasures.
"Hmph!" The attack was sudden but Li Foluo who had always been on guard discovered it at the first instance. He swept outwards with his halberd and lava filled energy shattered the void, directly retaliating against the resonant power that had been shooting towards them and causing it to disappear.
This sudden change had caused the previously relaxed group to turn alert.
"Zhao Qianjun, get your a.s.s out here!" Li Foluo's gaze turned cold as he struck downwards with his halberd, causing a hundred foot long spear manifestation that resembled a dragon to explosively shoot towards the distance.
Weng!
As the void distorted, a well built figure walked out with his five fingers clenched into a fist. The fist was imbued with a tyrannical golden lightning resonant power as it transformed into a sharp tiger's paw.
The golden lightning tiger paw manifestation swatted towards Li Foluo's lava spear manifestation and collided, causing a resounding boom in the air.
The well built figure wasn't shaken in the least, instead slowly walking forward as he lightly laughed. "Li Foluo, your luck is a little too good. You've actually managed to obtain two high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures in a medium sized Other Dominion."
Behind him, Zhao Jiyun, Zhao Zhuoyan and the rest of the Divine Tiger Guardians' experts followed behind as they looked on greedily. On their end, they had fought against a lower fourth-grade True Devil Other and had only obtained two middle-grade and a few low-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures. This was simply too pathetic when compared to what Li Luo's side had obtained.
Li Foluo icily glared at Zhao Qianjun. "Oh? You want to steal it from us?"
"The fact that you could kill the True Devil Others here was also because we distracted some of them as well. Now that you've taken all the benefits, we find it hard to look the other way." Zhao Qianjun's gaze flickered.
"Li Foluo, so long as you give us one of the high-grade Foundational Spirit Treasures, we'll go our separate paths. What do you think?"
His gaze swept across his surroundings. "The Other Dominion is about to vanish and if others were to find out, you won't be able to escape without paying your dues."
Li Foluo's eyes turned gloomy. He could sense the corruption receding and that there were certain eyes spying on them in the distance. There was nothing they could do about it as the commotion caused when taking these two Foundational Spirit Treasures was too large. He would naturally be unable to hide from those determined prying eyes.
"What do you think?" When faced with Zhao Qianjun's threat, Li Foluo looking towards Jiang Qing'e and Li Foluo.
Jiang Qing'e's jade-like face was chilly and her slender hand tightly grasped her heavy sword. Resplendent light resonant power overflowed in all directions.
Li Luo then glanced at Zhao Qianjun as he gave a harmless smile as he warmly replied. "Guardian General Zhao Qianjun, the exit is just there and i'd advise you to be friendlier."
"So what if I don't wish to? What are you going to do about it?" Zhao Zhuoyan unhappily retorted when he saw Li Luo's att.i.tude as he smirked coldly.
Li Luo thought about it before replying seriously.
"If you don't want to be friendly, you might just die. Here."
"Li Luo, you still dare to speak wantonly when there aren't any Dragon's Fang Guardians to supplement you?" Li Luo's words infuriated Zhao Zhuoyan, whose eyes were filled with killing intent. During the battle for the Sovereign Pearl, he had lost to Li Luo and lost face for the Ten Thousand Beast Armies. Thus, he had sworn in his heart if they were to fight again, he would kill Li Luo and wash away the shame!
