Chapter 0770: Experiencing Harmony

"Sub Leader, the Fiendish Devil Leader for this layer is right ahead," a member of the first division reported to Zhong Ling.

Looking at the ghastly, dark forest ahead, Zhong Ling remained composed when he sensed an oppressive pressure emanating from it.

Such terrifying pressure was definitely beyond what a Gold Fiend like him could handle. However, he remained fearless as he would not be facing the Fiendish Devil Leader alone.

"I wonder how the fifth division is progressing," he said aloofly.

"No worries, Sub Leader. Even though Li Luo has the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art, he has only been here for a few days," a close banner member answered with a smirk. "He can't keep up with our progress even with a pair of wings," he continued.

Hearing this, Zhong Ling shook his head in response. "Don't belittle him. Although he comes from an outer divine continent, I have to say, his talent is beyond my reach. If not for the lack of resources in the outer divine continent, he would have become one of the top talents in the current generation."

This left the banner members around him speechless, unable to rebut. After all, Li Luo was not only a triple resonance user, he had also acquired the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art on his first day. They all understood how amazingly gifted Li Luo was.

Zhong Ling smiled lightly and went on. "If he had reached the Silver Fiend Body Tier, I wouldn't even have contemplated competing with him for the top position of the Green Nether Banner. Alas, it's a pity...

"After spending so many years in the outer divine continent, he has squandered all his talent away. He is merely at the Lesser Fiend Palace Tier, and this barrier alone will slow his progress down for several years. It is enough to prevent him from catching up to the top talents in the banner."

At this point, he took a pause and asked, "I heard that Li Luo has succeeded in achieving Harmony with the fifth division. Is that true?"

"Yes," the banner members replied.

Zhong Ling sighed and continued, "The Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art possesses a lot of advantages over the lower grade versions, but achieving Harmony is merely the first step. He still has a long way to go in understanding how to utilize its power perfectly.”

He then shook his head and cleared out all distractions before looking towards the dark forest ahead. He raised his hand high into the air and commanded in a cold voice, "First division, Harmony!"

The most important thing now was to clear layer twenty-eight and to rally the hearts of the banner members before the battle for the position of Banner Leader. Ultimately, he still felt slightly threatened by Li Luo, and it would be best not to give him any chances at all.

Following Zhong Ling's command, the faces of the first division turned serious and they rapidly formed hand seals. Soon after, their breaths seemed to sync together, and stream after stream of their resonant power intertwined together.

It was as if small streams of river water had all flowed into a large lake.

As Zhong Ling was in the center of them all, he could feel a surge of power rising within himself. Although this was not his first time, he could not help but remain constantly fascinated by it, as though it was his first time encountering it.

He might just be a Gold Fiend, but with the boost from achieving Harmony, he could ascend a few tiers above and reach the Heavenly Resonance Stage.

His body slowly rose into the air as he stared sharply ahead. With a wave of his sleeve, a cyclone of resonant power appeared out of thin air and swept up the forest in front.

“Roar!”

When the forest was torn apart, something let out a loud roar. In the next instance, the ground shook violently and a burly figure that was several feet tall rushed out with astonis.h.i.+ng pressure.

It was a colossal Fiendish Devil with golden light flowing from its body. It looked like a giant ape with four arms, and it exuded pulses of violent energy outwards like waves, causing the void around it to tremble.

This was the Fiendish Devil Leader of layer twenty-eight.

But Zhong Ling showed no fear. Instead, he grinned lightly and flicked his fingers, shooting out dozens of huge resonant power chains that flew straight towards the Fiendish Devil Leader.

"Li Luo, you may be gifted. But you are not as good as me now! This is not the era when your father was still around! The Green Nether Hall will belong to my uncle, and the Green Nether Banner will belong to me!" Zhong Ling proclaimed.

……

On the outside border of the ice lake, Li Luo had felt the enormous surge in energy and entered the state of Harmony as well. However, unlike Zhong Ling, who was drunk on its power, Li Luo just felt a slight curiosity as he murmured to himself, "So, this is the power of Harmony?"

After all, despite being at the Lesser Fiend Palace Tier, he had experienced the power of both the Heavenly Resonance Stage of Three-tailed heavenly wolf and the King Stage of Princ.i.p.al Pang.

After getting his hands on this power, he did not feel as fascinated over experiencing Harmony with the fifth division.

Nonetheless, the surging sensation was indeed comfortable.

As Li Luo was lost in thought, his eyes remained fixed on the ice lake in front. With the coursing pulses of energy coming from achieving Harmony on his side, the Fiendish Devil Leader inside had obviously noticed him, immediately letting out a deafening cry. With its roar, the dense layers of cold mist were blown apart, and a burly figure finally emerged.

Zhao Yanzhi and the others looked towards it and saw a four-armed Fiendish Devil Leader surrounded by gold light fixing its gaze upon them.

“Roar!”

The Fiendish Devil Leader let out a deep roar and punched out with its huge fist. Suddenly, a ghastly, dark torrent pierced through the void like an angry and ferocious python and charged straight ahead towards the fifth division.

The dark torrent of energy was extremely savage and left a deep scar on the ground in its trail.

This punch was comparable to the power of someone at the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier.

If the fifth division were just a normal group of individuals, they would have inevitably faced countless casualties upon colliding with such an attack.

Fortunately, all of the fifth division's banner members' strength had gathered within Li Luo under the state of Harmony.

Faced with the four-armed Fiendish Devil Leader's attack, Li Luo focused his thoughts and clapped his hands together. In that instant, a great wave of energy blasted out and clashed head-on with the ferocious punch of the Fiendish Devil Leader.

Bang!

Waves of energy pulsed outwards when the two attacks collided, shaking the surroundings. The ice on the frozen lake cracked, and all the trees within hundreds of meters around were shredded.

The Fiendish Devil Leader let out another deafening roar angrily. It was upset that its first hit had no effect whatsoever. It stomped its foot in frustration, shattering the ice surface beneath, before its muscular silhouette flashed towards Li Luo.

Like a giant ape attempting to smash apart a mountain, it waved furiously with its four arms and sent a barrage of fist strikes containing terrifying energy like a torrential rain of pain.

Faced with this, Li Luo immediately created energy barriers to s.h.i.+eld against this downpour of attacks.

Bang! Bang!

The battle between the two sides almost razed the forest to the ground.

During this time, Zhao Yanzhi and the others continued to provide support for Li Luo and helped him maintain the state of Harmony.

However, they were also quite nervous as they knew that this was the first time Li Luo had utilized Harmony in an actual battle. He was ultimately unfamiliar with using it to confront an actual opponent.

There were a few times that the Fiendish Devil Leader's punches nearly breached past the barrier's defenses and landed upon the banner members.

Fortunately, Li Luo's use of Harmony improved as the confrontation continued. Over time, the banner members could clearly tell that it was getting harder for the Fiendish Devil Leader's attacks to break through the defenses.

This allowed them to secretly heave sighs of relief and praise their Sub Leader for being a talented and fast learner.

It was no ordinary feat to master control over such an enormous power in such a short span of time.

However, they did not know that Li Luo had experienced wielding the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf and Princ.i.p.al Pang previously. To him, the power of Harmony was nothing more than something at the Heavenly Resonance Tier, so it would not be a challenge to master it at all.

Bang!

After Li Luo fended off another attack from the Fiendish Devil Leader, he felt like he had fully grasped its strength and skills.

Li Luo stared at the raging Fiendish Devil Leader and muttered to himself, "About time..."

The first division should have reached the Fiendish Devil Leader too. If he wanted to steal the limelight from Zhong Ling, then it was time for him to end this battle.

As Li Luo was lost in thought, the Fiendish Devil Leader cried out madly and the golden light around its body glowed more intensely. It then stomped the ground, and complex, golden light patterns emerged on his skin.

The patterns merged into a violent burst of gold light and blasted straight at Li Luo.

The light of the Fiendish Devil Leader was clearly reflected in Li Luo's eyes, but he remained undaunted. At this moment, his hands formed a seal with lightning speed. In the next moment, a black dragon banner that was more concrete than ever before appeared in his hands.

It pierced through world s.p.a.ce. Roar!?r?ewe??૦ν??. ???

As if swimming out of pitch-black river water, the black dragon emerged from the void and collided with the Fiendish Devil Leader, who was charging with all its might. Zhao Yanzhi and the others watched on in shock.
