Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1375

Chapter 1375: The Couple Join Hands Battling Qin Lian!
“Hahaha! Two measly second-grade Transcendent Dukes dare to claim that they will kill me?” When faced with Li Luo’s murderous declaration, Qin Lian began to guffaw crazily. Her long hair danced in the wind and an ocean of viscous corruption overflowed out of her body, covering almost half the sky.

The oppressive feeling she gave off made it difficult for the lower-grade Dukes to even breathe.

Everyone had faces full of worry. Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e might have had a stupendous rise in strength, but they were still a little too weak. Even if they were both third-grade, Qin Lian would still have an overwhelming advantage over them. Qin Beiming and the rest of the fifth-grade Dukes had joined hands previously, and some had ended up dying pitifully. Just how much better could the two of them do?

As they were lost in worry, Qin Lian took a step forward and her cold voice rang out.

“Eight Bergfrieds Empowerment! Duke’s Worldspace Domain!”

The eight towering Duke Bergfrieds that resembled humongous mountains began to emit terrifying resonant power undulations. The world started to darken at this moment.

Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest had ugly expressions. Qin Lian was no longer holding back, fully activating the power of her Duke’s Worldspace Domain. This meant that all of the worldly natural energy within her domain would fall under her control. It had become onerous for them to wield worldly natural energy to assist in the battle. This was why Dukes were strong; their Bergfrieds were able to resonate with worldly natural energy and thus mobilize it and augment their own attacks.

However, Qin Lian’s eight Duke Bergfrieds had strengthened her Worldspace Domain and wrestled control from everyone else, weakening them immensely.

“I want you to know that a second-grade Transcendent Duke is nothing more than a worm shaking a tree before absolute power! I will let you personally taste despair and death!” Qin Lian waved her pale hand, and her Duke Bergfrieds began to emit black smoke into the skies, forming two gigantic, obsidian-colored meteors.

Each meteor blazed with sooty flames and possessed incredible annihilative power. They streaked through the void, smashing towards Jiang Qing’e and Li Luo. Ear-rending booms could be heard as the meteors descended.

Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest stared in shock. Qin Lian was significantly stronger than she was earlier and was radiating a completely different level of hatred compared to before.

If they were on the receiving end of that attack, considering the fact that their Duke Bergfrieds had been suppressed, they would definitely perish.

“They can’t possibly just be crushed to death, right?” Li Zhihuo bitterly asked. A small hope had just been kindled, and yet it was about to be brutally extinguished?

Qin Beiming didn’t say a word. They were basically awaiting death after all. Li Luo was simply trying his best to create a chance to survive.

“Is this what it feels like to be suppressed by a Worldspace Domain? It does seem quite domineering. It’s no wonder she was able to defeat so many Dukes on her own.” Li Luo’s gaze turned towards the descending meteors. Despite the looming threat that was crashing towards him, he was very fascinated with the Worldspace Domain. He could sense that his connection with worldly natural energy was subdued to a great degree.

However, he didn’t seem worried at all.

On the contrary, he stretched a hand out towards Jiang Qing’e with a smile. “Sister Qing’e, do you remember what we did in the onyx cauldron?”

Jiang Qing’e’s fair face turned slightly flushed. She knew what Li Luo was getting at. When they were entangled, they reached an unprecedented state of connection with worldly natural energy. This was the reason why they had managed to make breakthroughs. That feeling had not vanished completely; its aftertaste was lingering in their minds. If they worked together, they could reproduce a portion of that power. Li Luo was planning to use this method to deal with the effect of Qin Lian’s Worldspace Domain.

Thus, Jiang Qing’e stretched her slender hand out to meet his, and their fingers intertwined. A moment later, billowing clouds of Divine Mist rushed into the air above them.

Jiang Qing’e’s Divine Mist looked as though it had been transformed by holy light. It was like two gigantic pillars of light that pierced through the sky and illuminated all of the darkness in the world. Meanwhile, Li Luo’s Divine Mist shone with six different radiances. Three were slightly dimmer than the others, resembling a vast work of art with a myriad of colors. The Divine Mist shot through the skies, and the worldly natural energy that had been dominated by the Worldspace Domain was attracted by some mysterious force, turning into a torrent of energy that poured towards the four Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds.

“Did they overcome the Worldspace Domain’s suppressive effects?!” The crowd was in complete disbelief. Qin Beiming and Li Zhihuo gasped as this was unimaginable to them.

Jiang Qing’e formed hand seals, and her sacred Divine Mist condensed, transforming into an elegant, gigantic sword of light with seven scintillating jewels embedded into its blade. “Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light!” The dense Divine Mist condensed into a divine rune that had engraved itself upon the sword’s blade, causing its sacred aura to intensify, resembling an angel’s blade.

The void behind Li Luo shattered and draconic roars thundered through the world. Three dragon manifestations made their way out and transformed into a mottled banner.

“Three Divine Dragons’ Demon Smiting Light!” Li Luo grabbed hold of the banner and waved it, causing boundless amounts of gorgeous divine light to shoot outwards. The light contained immense might, and it was far greater than what was produced when borrowing the Six-tailed Heavenly Wolf’s power in the past.

At the same time, the six-colored Divine Mist flowed downwards and took the form of an ancient rune that was made of his six resonance affinities and worldly natural energy.

When the rune fused with the divine light, its appearance turned even more exquisite and glorious. In fact, it looked like a rainbow-colored divine dragon!

“Transcendent Divine Mist is truly miraculous.” Li Luo sighed when he sensed that the Divine Mist from his Duke Bergfrieds had bolstered his Demon Smiting Light significantly. After cultivating with no break for several years, he was finally able to truly experience the sheer power of a Duke without the aid of others.

A moment later, the divine light arced across the horizon together with the beautiful sword of light, directly colliding with the descending meteors. Bang!

When the attacks collided, terrifying twisters and gales buffeted the area and energy shockwaves permeated in every direction. Those who were weaker were sent flying and their internals were shaken by the sheer force. Despite that, they continued to stare at the point where the attacks had clashed. The void showed signs of collapsing and a storm of energy raged wantonly. The two black flame meteors were gradually pulverized into black motes of light in the sky.

At the same time, the dazzling divine light and sword of light shattered as their energy was consumed.

The attack had been blocked!

Looks of glee appeared in everyone’s eyes. This was the first time since Qin Lian had arrived that they had managed to fend off her attacks. Despite the growing happiness of the crowd, Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e didn’t share in their sentiment. They had only managed to stop Qin Lian’s probing blow, which was nothing worth celebrating.

Qin Lian’s vortex-like eyes began to churn. Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e had shrugged off the controlling effects of her Worldspace Domain, which was out of her expectations. Furthermore, although she knew that a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was considered perfect and gave their user great strength, it didn’t have such an ability.

That said, her casual attack had already forced their hand and she had learned something important.

Thus, what came next would be important…

Qin Lian took a step forward, and her voice, which resembled the coldest winter, rang out.

“Destiny-grade Duke Art? You’re not the only ones with that. I have one too.”
