After hearing what Yue Zhiyu said, Feng Lingyuan, Wei Chonglou, Duan Mu and the rest were shocked. Although they knew Li Luo had some tricks up his sleeves, he was still a Heavenly Pearl. Even if he could defeat some of the Lesser Heavenly Resonance opponents, the Greater Evil Spirit was at the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage!
It would be a tough feat for some of the students in the Upper Heavenly Star Hall as Others were infamous for their bizarre powers and tenacious lifeforce. They were notoriously tough to finish off.
Yet, Li Luo had slain two Greater Evil Spirits?
They could tell from Yue Zhiyu's expression that she was not joking.
Li Luo looked at their stunned expressions. He responded in a helpless tone, "Haven't you checked the scoreboard?"
Wei Chonglou's face twitched a little. He would check his own ranking and the movements in the top 10 occasionally but why would he care about Li Luo?
On the other hand, Feng Lingyuan took it seriously and opened up her scoreboard. On the 17th rank, she spotted Li Luo's name. The "A" Merit behind it must be proof that Li Luo had really killed the Greater Evil Spirits.
"Did you use the strength of that spirit beast? We're in the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion currently. The spirit beast is extremely vicious and it's very susceptible to getting corrupted." Feng Lingyuan asked with a frown.
Li Luo shook his head. "It's just another little trick in my a.r.s.enal."
A light flashed by Feng Lingyuan's eyes once more. Li Luo could fight against these Greater Evil Spirits even without relying on the external aid from the spirit beast? Just how many treasures did this Third Young Master of Dragon's Fang Lineage possess?
Wei Chonglou's face changed a little as well. It was not too hard for people like him to kill a Greater Evil Spirit. However, Li Luo was just a Heavenly Pearl. Back when he was a Heavenly Pearl, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it.
As such, Wei Chonglou had to admit that Li Luo was more capable than he had expected.
On the other hand, Duan Mu did not dwell on this topic for too long. He looked towards the giant pit in front of them. The pool of blood and that giant white pillar was too eye-catching.
"This is the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar, right?" The feminine face of Duan Mu turned serious as he asked.
He looked up onto the bleeding and flayed humans hanging in the air above. His face darkened. "These human candles that have lost their skins are the students that've been kidnapped. I can see a few familiar faces among them. Although they've lost their skins, I can still sense it's them."
The others were aghast. These b.l.o.o.d.y bodies that were barely recognizable were the students who had been kidnapped?
However, they were soon filled with fury. These students were their companions after all. Now, look at what they had become?
"There is still some lifeforce left in them. The Greater Evil Spirits must have kidnapped them in order to feed their blood essence to the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar." Feng Lingyuan said.
Yue Zhiyu's face turned gloomy as well. She looked at the pool of blood and said in a disgusted voice, "Let's do it together. We'll destroy this Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar directly."
She took a step forward. Dazzling light resonant power surged out of her body, transforming into a beam of light that was thousands of feet tall and shot towards the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar directly.
The others did not stop her. They knew that someone needed to step forward and launch the first strike.
Weng!
The light resonant power clashed against the white pillar. In the next moment, endless amounts of corruption burst out from the pillar, neutralizing the purifying light resonant power in the blink of an eye.
Glug glug!
Bubbles formed violently on the pool of blood. Soon, pale white human skins arose from the pool of blood.
The human skins expanded rapidly as if it had been filled with the sticky b.l.o.o.d.y water.In just a few moments, numerous figures emerged from this pool of blood.
These figures contained an immense amount of corruption. Both of their eyes were b.l.o.o.d.y red with blood flowing down like a stream of tears.
When Feng Lingyuan, Yue Zhiyu and the rest saw these figures, their faces turned extremely ugly. These were familiar figures to them. They were the skins of the students who had been hung in midair as human candles.
However, these skins were filled up with the blood water now. They appeared to have transformed into some kind of Other.
Apart from these human skin Others, Evil Spirits also began to emerge from the pool of blood. In fact, there were also Greater Evil Spirits.
With such a large number of enemies, the crowd understood immediately that this was a tough fight that they could not avoid.
If they wanted to destroy this Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar, they would have to eliminate these Others that were protecting it.
The most frightening thing was actually not the appearance of the Greater Evil Spirit. It was the fact that as more Others appeared, a vortex formed in the pool of blood.
Looking deep into the vortex, one could spot a round Devil Egg that was dozens of feet tall. This Devil Egg was pale white in color, as if it had been created with layer after layer of human skins stacked atop one another. The Devil Egg slurped up the blood in the pool like a maniac. At the same time, vicious twisted faces emerged on the surface of the egg sh.e.l.l.
Everyone could sense the shocking amount of corruption emanating out of this Devil Egg. They knew that it contained something ghastly without doubt.
The Others and Evil Spirits in the pool of blood did not wait for the students to react. They rushed forward like a torrent, charging towards these students.
"Prepare for battle!"
Feng Lingyuan's cute face turned cold. Her resonant power exploded outwards and countless grayish black lights shot up from the bottom of the feet and pierced the Evil Spirits.
At the same time, Heavenly Resonance Diagrams extended across the sky, taking in all the worldly natural energy in the surrounding.
Yue Zhiyu, Duan Mu and Wei Chonglou did not hesitate either as their Greater Heavenly Resonance power surged up. After they cleared off some of the Others blocking their path, they all headed towards the most threatening foe, the Greater Evil Spirits.
The other students charged forward and confronted the Others of their level.
A fierce battle began. Resonant power shot up into the sky as more and more Heavenly Resonance Diagrams and Heavenly Resonance Golden Seals appeared one after another.
Li Luo grabbed tightly onto his Dragon Elephant Blade. The blade sliced through the void in a flash as a black dragon roared into life along with the stream of pitch black water, charging straight towards the Others at the front. Many of the Others were wiped out by it's onslaught. Nonetheless, two Evil Spirits were more tenacious and survived, dragging along their broken bodies and continued charging towards the group.
Tui!
Two black rays of death flew across the void and landed on the two Evil Spirits, directly melting them down into a puddle of pungent black water.
Li Luo turned around. This was done by Li Hongyou, who was standing not too far away from him. She held onto the Blackwood Feather Fan and smiled back at him.
"Thank you, Senior Hongyou." Li Luo responded with a grin. He did not really require much a.s.sistance from her but she had clearly decided to stick close to him in case the situation turned south.
"A great battle is coming. Seven pearls won't be enough."
Li Luo took a glance at the seven radiant pearls behind his back. Then, he looked at the Others that were swarming towards them. His eyes were not filled with fear. Rather, it was burning with excitement.
The three resonant palaces in his body rang out. He had reached the peak for his current state.
At this moment, Li Luo knew that his chance had arrived. He took out the Enlightened Spirit Lotus that he had obtained previously. In the middle of the lotus leaf, there was a small golden violet fish swimming in it.
Li Luo reached out his hand and used his resonant power to extract out the Spirit Lotus Essence. Then, he took out his Heavenly Crimson Pills too.
He inserted the Heavenly Crimson Pills into the mouth of the Spirit Lotus Essence fish first. Afterwards, he put his palms together. His resonant power skyrocketed as he condensed the Spirit Lotus Essence into a tiny ball of light. Li Luo sliced the front of his chest open with his Dragon Elephant Blade. Then, he inserted the ball of light into it.
His blood began to react vigorously. As the ball of light cruised through his body, seemingly endless amounts of energy flooded into his limbs and bones.
His eyes grew more pa.s.sionate as the energy rapidly spread throughout his body. He held firmly onto his Dragon Elephant Blade and charged towards the army of Others directly.
Right now, he needed a grand battle to help him completely refine and absorbed the large amount of energy coursing through his body. This would set the stage for him to complete the breakthrough he'd long been waiting for.
Nine Heavenly Pearls!
As the fierce battle erupted around the pool of blood, the Blood Ossuary Carrier continued to watch secretly from the shadows not too far away.
"What a crowd."
The eyes of the Blood Ossuary Carrier lit up as he stared at the Devil Egg in the vortex of the pool of blood. At this moment, the blood ossuary behind him was shaking violently. Numerous b.l.o.o.d.y red eyeb.a.l.l.s were trying to squeeze out from the edges around the ossuary.
The Blood Ossuary Carrier pressed tightly onto the lid of his ossuary. His gaze held a fanatical desire to get ahold of that Devil Egg.
"That is a..."
"True Devil Embryo!"
