Absolute Resonance Chapter 1018: Twin Swords Slay the Flaming Devil

A stream of light blue light rose into the sky above Li Luo's head. A sword made of light shaped like a dragon's fang gradually materialized.

The appearance of the Water Dragon Fang Sword caused the sword cries resonating throughout the field to reach a crescendo.

Worldly natural energy was mobilized in great amounts, and it all whizzed towards the sword.

As the sword pulsed with energy, it caused the void around it to rip and tear.

Numerous shocked gazes in the distance fell upon the sword that had taken form. They had all noticed the sheer power that was contained within it.

Tian Miao frowned. It looked like Li Luo had seen through his strategy and had directly taken out his ace, intending to settle things immediately.

His gaze flickered, and he did not dare to tarry. Scarlet light manifested around his body, transforming into a suit of plate armor. On it was a single violet mark, indicating that this was a violet-eye treasured artifact.

At the same time, scarlet light surged into the skies above him, transforming into a single pearl of flame. It emitted a veil of flame that further augmented his defenses.

He knew that Li Luo's attack would not be easy to deal with, so he quickly brought out all of his protective means to defend himself.

"If I withstand his strongest move, I'll be at an advantage afterwards." Tian Miao's eyes turned chilly. The fact that he had actually been forced into such a situation by a mere three-pearl was humiliating.

However, he knew that that was the least of his worries right now. Protecting himself was.

Li Luo stared at the layers of defensive sh.e.l.ls his opponent had summoned from afar, and one of his eyebrows lifted quizzically. Tian Miao was truly cautious, having steeled himself and curled up in his sh.e.l.l. It seemed that a single Water Dragon Fang Sword would not be sufficient to end him.

"Since one Dragon Fang Sword is insufficient... then let's use two." Li Luo lowered his eyes slightly, and at the next moment, a vibrant, emerald light rose into the sky above him. At the same time, a different sword cry rang out.

When the emerald light appeared, the shriveled-up plant life beneath them seemed to have been rejuvenated and began to flourish and grow.

A moment later, another s.h.i.+ning Dragon Fang Sword appeared within the emerald light.

This was the Wood Dragon Fang Sword.

After much refinement within the Spiritual Resonance Cave, Li Luo had finally managed to cultivate the second Dragon Fang Sword of the Myriad Resonances Dragon Fang Sword Formation. Both swords lingered atop him, emanating peerless and majestic sword energy. Their presence seemed to have split the clouds above into pieces, making them look like the scales of a fish.

The sword energy that rocketed into the sky radiated with a chilling aura that caused everyone present to have a change in expression.

This included the heavily armored and protected Tian Miao, who was hoping to tide through this a.s.sault.

The corners of his mouth were twitching uncontrollably. When Li Luo only employed a single Dragon Fang Sword, he could distinctly sense that he should be able to block it and protect his life. However, the appearance of the second sword and the combined sword energy caused his scalp to tingle.

"d.a.m.n it! What terrifying sword energy. This should be at the very least a Greater Completion Upper Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art. How did he manage to achieve all of this at his age and cultivation level?"

Tian Miao's heart was screaming. A Greater Completion Upper Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art was something that few geniuses in even his generation had been able to master.

Li Luo, on the other hand, was unconcerned with Tian Miao's internal struggles. He raised his head and wistfully glanced at the Wood Dragon Fang Sword that he had managed to create after shedding endless amounts of blood, sweat, and tears and sighed lightly.

The combined sword energy was incomparable to just having one. "I'll use you as the first sacrifice to my sword."

Li Luo formed a hand seal and then pressed downwards.

Weng!

A moment later, the two Dragon Fang Swords shot into the air, transforming into two beams of light-blue and emerald light. They lanced through the air with ferocious momentum, splitting the sky cleanly into two.

A sword scar was left on the plains below as they flew past.

Looking at the rapidly enlarging swords that left trails of light in their wake, Tian Miao bellowed. The scarlet energy in the sky roiled and swiftly surrounded his body, transforming him into a humongous Flaming Devil with four limbs that was thousands of feet tall.

"Four Armed Flaming Devil Body!"

With the threat of death looming overhead, Tian Miao swiftly activated the strongest Duke Art he had. This was the Devil Fire Hall's Lower Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art.

The Flaming Devil bellowed, then its mouth spewed a gigantic gout of flame at the two streams of boundless sword energy.

The Water Dragon Fang Sword was the first to collide with it. The sword energy that seemed to contain the raging ocean instantly extinguished the flames in an all-encompa.s.sing manner.

The sword energy then pierced through the skies un.o.bstructed and brutally hacked at the Flaming Devil's true body before everyone's eyes.

Bang!

Terrifying amounts of energy exploded at that very instant, causing a storm of energy to burst forth in every direction, enveloping an area thousands of meters wide with crackling energy.

Everyone's attention was focused upon the four-armed Flaming Devil.

Alas, the Four Armed Flaming Devil Body was not as st.u.r.dy as Tian Miao had hoped. With the domineering strike of the two Dragon Fang Swords, his Duke Art began to dissipate at a pace visible to the naked eye.

The Dragon Fang Swords possessed an energy that could disintegrate anything and everything.

After a few breaths of time, the Flaming Devil vanished with a final roar.

The two beams of sword energy did not weaken in the slightest. In a blink, they struck downwards yet again, shattering the veil of flame that had surrounded Tian Miao's body. The flaming pearl above him crumbled as a result.

Tian Miao looked horrified, and he retreated in a frenzy.

Sword energy continued to envelope him, ripping deep gouges in his scarlet armor with every strike.

Feeling the air of death gradually suffocating him, Tian Miao screamed with absolute fear, "Li Luo! Stop! I'll retreat from your battle! I.. I.. I'll lead everyone away!"

However, in spite of Tian Miao's surrender, Li Luo's gaze remained icy.

The two sides had already taken things to such an extreme that admitting defeat was meaningless. Li Luo had intended to use his strongest move to kill with a single strike. He would use Tian Miao's life to shock and awe the remainder.

He formed yet another hand seal, and the two Dragon Fang Swords burst forth with yet another domineering cry. Shrouded with boundless amounts of killing intent, the two swords penetrated the enemy’s armor like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter.

Bang!

When they exited from Tian Miao's back, two unimaginably deep holes were gouged into the ground.

Tian Miao's armor fragmented, revealing his pale and terrified visage. He could sense the tyrannic sword energy coursing through him, destroying his body with utter ease like crus.h.i.+ng brittled twigs.

On the surface of his body, half of his skin was eroding at breakneck speed, whilst the other had seedlings sprouting out of every inch.

When he felt his life slipping away before him, endless regret surfaced in his eyes. He was a prodigy of the Devil Fire Hall, yet he had fallen in the Spiritual Resonance Cave just like that? If he had known earlier, he would never have interjected himself between the two Heavenly Emperor powers.

Alas, there was no medicine for regret.

Tian Miao's rigid body plummeted from the skies, cras.h.i.+ng heavily into the ground beneath. The chaotic battle between the two sides screamed to a halt.

Everyone's attention had turned towards them.

Tian Miao, who was half a step into the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier, had been killed by Li Luo in a single blow.

Although Li Luo had borrowed external strength, the Spiritual Resonance Cave's suppression limited him to the Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier. Comparatively speaking, even Zhao Yan would have great difficulty achieving the same result if pitted against Tian Miao.

Li Luo had become so powerful in just a single year after coming from an outer divine continent!

From afar, Zhu Zhu, Zhu Dayu, Zong Sha, Jiang Wanyu, and the rest silently observed him. They were reminded of the stories their elders had once told them, how the invincible Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had triumphed over their peers without equal.

They could feel that Li Luo might very well be in no way inferior to his parents, who had once shocked the world. No matter how things were, Li Luo's reputation would soar upon the conclusion of the Spiritual Resonance Cave.
