Absolute Resonance - Chapter 811 – Python Puppet

Chapter 0811 – Python Puppet
No light could enter Dragon’s Fang Cave, so it was mostly dark.

Li Luo walked along a winding path, and a short moment later, the view in front of him expanded when he came across a huge, hollow space. As he made his way through, he noticed numerous stone tablets that were hundreds of feets tall lined up around the place.

The stone tablets had a special design to them. Their tops were sharp and they protruded from the ground below, surrounded by countless glittering lights. It was a truly mysterious sight.

As Li Luo observed the stone tablets, he thought that they were like the sharp fangs of a huge dragon that had pierced through the ground below. There was an unusually ominous aura surrounding them.

Li Luo carefully made his way towards one. When he was close enough to get a good look at it, the countless glittering lights moved about in a mystical motion and glowing words gradually appeared.

Divine Sky Splitting Finger, Communion-grade Duke Art. One who masters the Divine Sky Splitting Finger will be invincible, able to break apart mountains and rivers with a finger, and capable of tearing open the void.

Li Luo paused for a moment as he scrutinized the art. It didn’t catch his interest, so he turned around and headed towards the next stone tablet.

Mystical Icy Dragon Fang Arrow, Communion-grade Duke Art. With the combined power of ice and dragon resonances, coupled with a bow-type treasured artifact, one such arrow can freeze everything for thousands of miles.

“This must be a so-called Dragon Fang-type Duke Art.” Li Luo pondered over it as he rubbed his chin. From the information he had gathered, Dragon Fang-type Duke Arts tended to be best suited for offense and were extremely fearsome attacks in general. This could be considered the unique trait of the Dragon’s Fang Lineage.

After all, the fangs would be a huge dragon’s main weapon, and it was definitely an apt trait for the lineage.

However, Li Luo was not interested in this Mystical Icy Dragon Fang Arrow either. Despite his talent in archery, he had no ice resonance attributes. Even if he could obtain some mysterious treasured artifact, it would take him too much time to master this art as he did not possess much affinity.

In the end, Li Luo walked away and began to inspect the other stone tablets.

Godly Fire Punch, Communion-grade Duke Art. One can cultivate Godly fire in his palm and ignite a hundred thousand meters of land with a single punch.

Heaven Ascension Steps, Communion-grade Duke Art. A speedy type of Duke Art that enables one to travel hundreds of thousands of meters with a single step. Best for ensuring one’s safety at all times.

Multiple Duke Arts with different magical effects appeared in front of Li Luo as he walked around the stone tablets. His heart was throbbing with excitement and his eyes lit up. There were so many different types for him to choose from. These were truly the foundations of a Heavenly Emperor’s power.

Back in the Xia Kingdom, there were only a few Duke Arts for him to choose from in the academy.

The gap between the two was evident.

As Li Luo headed deeper into the mountain, the stone tablets started to grow larger in size too. This was because the Duke Arts here were now Soul Ascension-grade.

There were not a lot of them, just nineteen Soul Ascension-grade stone tablets. And Li Luo was aiming for one of them today.

Of course, if there was no suitable one amongst them, he would have to go back and choose one of the Communion-grade Duke Arts. In fact, he had already gotten some backup ideas whilst he was making his way over here.

Astral Fangs of Light, Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art. By tempering astral light and condensing it repeatedly into small rays of starlight, one can hide these rays within his eyes and shoot them out when faced against an enemy. These rays can eradicate everything in the world.

Ten Thousand Metal Essence Tyrannic Body, Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art. One could take in the energy from ten thousand metals to reinforce their body. Once it has been mastered, the body will contain the spiritual essence of ten thousand metals and a single drop of blood can be transformed into unparalleled, sharp weapons.

After Li Luo studied each and every Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art and compared them with the Communion-grade Duke Arts he had seen earlier, he realized how large the discrepancy between them was. Whether it was in terms of raw power or versatility of the ability, there was a clear gap between the two.

If these nineteen Soul Ascension-grade Duke Arts were introduced to the Xia Kingdom, the powerful Dukes there would go out of their minds fighting over them.

However, Li Luo was kind of disappointed after reading the last Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art. Unlike back when he obtained the Underworld River’s Black Dragon Banner, he realized that none of the Duke Arts here were really compatible with him.

“Do I have to go for a Communion-grade Duke Art in the end?” Li Luo felt a little hesitant. It was not that he looked down upon Communion-grade Duke Arts or was not ready to accept one. After all, many of the Dukes in the Xia Kingdom had never even come across a Soul Ascension-grade Duke Art in their entire lives.

However, he felt that it would be a pity to settle for the second best like this, after he had finally made it so far into this treasure vault.

As he was pondering over it, a huge shadow suddenly appeared from above, which was accompanied by a hiss.

Shocked by this sudden development, he hurriedly looked up to see what was happening. There was a huge, black python coiled around the stalactites above him, staring at him with faint, glowing pupils.

However, he did not panic when he saw it. He was merely stunned because there was no hint of life coming from it.

“It’s the puppet guardian of Dragon’s Fang Cave,” Li Luo commented.

During the celebration party with Li Fengyi yesterday, he had heard about many things regarding Dragon’s Fang Cave from her. One of them was the puppet guardian.

When one comes across the puppet guardian, they’ll be fine as long as they minimize any interaction with it. After all, it will not launch any attacks under normal circumstances.

As such, Li Luo shook his head and decided to ignore the puppet guardian.

However, the python puppet slithered down at this moment onto one of the stone tablets in front of Li Luo and started hissing in an attempt to communicate with him.

Li Luo was confused by this, and he mumbled to himself, “Is something wrong with the puppet guardian?”

“Proof,” the snake responded.

Li Luo was at a loss for words. It was actually speaking human language, except it sounded particularly hollow, like it was a preset voice line.

“Proof?” Li Luo was puzzled by this. “What’s going on here? Li Fengyi never said that the puppet guardian would try to start a conversation.”

“Proof.” The python puppet continued to repeat this word. Soon, the hollow cave was filled with echoes.

Li Luo scratched his head in confusion. After some thought, he took out the gold seal of the Banner Leader and handed it over to the python puppet. “Is this it?” he asked.

The enormous body of the python puppet slithered forward as its vertical pupils scrutinized the gold seal. After a few breaths, it retreated and continued to stare at Li Luo, once again repeating, “Proof.”

Li Luo was now feeling a little impatient with it. “What in the world is the proof this thing is looking for? Why didn’t anyone tell me that the puppet guardian of the Dragon’s Fang Cave would disturb me like this?”

In the end, he took two steps back and decided to ignore the python puppet.

However, it quickly slithered behind him, catching up with Li Luo. Its huge body cast a shadow that totally overwhelmed him.

“Proof.” The repetitive, hollow voice had returned.

Li Luo was greatly troubled by the python puppet’s persistence. He was about to get out of the cave and ask the gray-robed elder how he could handle this irritating situation.

Just as he was about to leave, an idea flashed across his mind.

He thought about something for a moment before he pulled out a black plaque from his pocket sphere. It was the Heavenly Emperor’s Writ.

“Is this it?” he asked as he handed the Heavenly Emperor’s Writ to the python puppet.

The puppet continued to speak in snake language as it swallowed up the Heavenly Emperor’s Writ. Li Luo could see a glow flowing through its body for a moment, then the repeated echoes in the cave finally came to a halt.

“That worked?” Li Luo was extremely surprised at this result. No one had ever told him about such a situation.

“Could it be that only those who possess the Heavenly Emperor’s Writ can trigger such an unusual reaction from the puppet guardian? But what’s it for?”

While Li Luo pondered an entire list of questions in his head, the python puppet opened its mouth once again and spat out two things in front of him.

The first thing was the Heavenly Emperor’s Writ that it had swallowed earlier. Li Luo retrieved it and then glanced over at the second item.

It was a mottled dragon fang that was about an inch long, surrounded by countless glittering lights. Light continued to flow mysteriously before glowing words started to appear.

He stretched out his hand to grab the mottled dragon fang, but as soon as he came into contact with it, he felt a huge influx of information rush into his brain.

Eye-catching words appeared within his mind.
