Chapter 1038: Spirit Eye Other King
"Spirit Eye Other King."
When the old man said those words, Li Luo felt like his scalp was going to split apart and a tidal wave of fear surged out from the depths of his mind.
The elder before him was actually a King Stage expert!
Li Luo couldn't understand what was happening. Wasn't there a suppression effect in the Spiritual Resonance Cave? It was difficult enough for a Duke to enter, so how could a King come?
As if sensing Li Luo's thoughts, when the voice of the Spirit Eye Other King rang out, the worldly natural energy suddenly stirred violently and a horrifying pressure started to rapidly condense.
The target of this pressurized energy was the Spirit Eye Other King!
The worldly natural energy surged and moved, coalescing into mysterious energy talismans. These talismans were ancient and obscure, all of them focused on suppressing the Spirit Eye Other King.
But the Spirit Eye Other King merely sneered in the face of the suppression from the Spiritual Resonance Cave. The blood pupil on his dark robe started to emit b.l.o.o.d.y mist that floated up and formed a crimson cloud. The cloud expanded and floated to each talisman that had been formed, challenging the suppression effect head-on. Wherever the two collided, the void shattered silently.
Li Luo could feel a destructive aura from the faint aftershocks.
The Spirit Eye Other King proclaimed jauntily, "The Spiritual Resonance Cave's suppression is indeed extraordinary. I can hardly believe I was detected by it despite utilizing such a secretive method of intruding. Fortunately for me, my physical body is not the one present; otherwise, coming here would've taken a lot of effort.
"But right now, prolonging my stay is not an issue."
Then he cast his gaze towards Li Lingjing and laughed. "No. 3, I have been paying attention to you from the moment you regained your sense of self. You really surprised me! I originally thought you were just a run-of-the-mill experimental subject, but I never thought that you would bring me such a great surprise. You possess perfect potential. No. 1 and No. 2 are just boring cripples compared to you."
A a look of greed emerged in his eyes.
"So, I've come in person."
The instant he said that, Li Luo grabbed Li Lingjing's wrist and frantically ran away with all his might.
However, Li Luo's expression changed abruptly a moment later as he realized that instead of going backwards and escaping from this place with Li Lingjing, he was constantly moving towards the Spirit Eye Other King.
It felt as if he was leading Li Lingjing right into a trap.
The rules of nature seemed to have been reversed by the Spirit Eye Other King. The strength of a King Stage expert was too unbelievable.
The Spirit Eye Other King looked at the two approaching figures with a smile and stretched out his shriveled palm to grab Li Lingjing.
Upon seeing this, Li Luo's heart surged with boundless fury. This old fogey had already brought great harm to his dear cousin, yet he still wanted more, now intending to take her away!
"Scram!"
An intense, crimson light surged from Li Luo's eyes as he willed power out from within the crimson bracelet, pushing himself to the limit.
This time, Li Luo had to utilize the help of the sealing ward within the crimson bracelet to extract the power of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf. It could not be helped because when the Spirit Eye Other King appeared, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf started trembling with fear and refused to fight. After all, it was only equivalent to a Duke, so it naturally had no will to fight a King Stage powerhouse.
The violent energy impacted Li Luo's whole body. This time, every inch of his skin immediately split apart, sending signals of sharp stabs of pain into his brain.
But Li Luo was unperturbed. He poured all of his strength into the Golden Onyx-Elephant Blade without hesitation and chopped down at the Spirit Eye Other King.
Brilliant blade light imbued with a deep coldness emerged, and the ice under their feet was instantly pulverized.
However, faced with Li Luo's shocking slash, the Spirit Eye Other King only smiled faintly and said, "Hiding a great spirit beast inside the bracelet? This sealing technique is extremely intricate; it's not something an ordinary person can craft. But these techniques are just child's play. Why would you attempt to hit me with them?"
He smiled and stretched out his withered hand and gently flicked into the void.
Ping!
All one could see was the s.p.a.ce in in front of his finger erupt into a pitch-black abyss from which formless waves spread and collided with Li Luo's descending blade of energy.
In that instant, the majestic and savage energy wrapped around the sword energy was melted almost instantly, and the ferocious blade light was dissipated without even a splash.
And it was at that moment that Li Luo heard a tiny crack.
Looking down, he was horrified to see that some cracks had appeared on the crimson bracelet.
Then an anguished howl came from within it.
It was apparent that the power of the Spirit Eye Other King had managed to reach inside the crimson bracelet, directly injuring the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf!
Due to the wolf being seriously wounded, its ferocious energy abruptly disappeared and even the bracelet became dull.
The disparity in power between both parties was now more apparent than ever.
Not just Li Luo, even the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf was like a tiny ant in the eyes of the Spirit Eye Other King.
Following the sudden curtailing of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf's power, a severe feeling of weakness washed across Li Luo's body.
"Li Luo, run quickly!"
At this moment, Li Lingjing sensed Li Luo's situation. With a flip of her slender hand, she tried to force him back as she knew that the Spirit Eye Other King's only aim was her, but Li Luo's constant intervention would surely attract his ire and make him use lethal force.
A King Stage expert, even without his physical body present, was definitely not someone they could stand against.
However, Li Lingjing was not able to push Li Luo back. Instead, Li Luo stretched out his hand and grasped her hand tightly.
Li Lingjing looked towards him and saw that the latter's eyes were resolute. He shook his head and said in a low voice, "I won't let him capture you!"
Her heart wavered.
Li Luo was still gripping the Golden Onyx-Elephant Blade, a hint of madness flowing in his eyes. Since the situation had come to this, he couldn't care that his enemy was a King Stage expert! Hesitating no longer, Li Luo sank his mind into the depths of the Golden Onyx-Elephant Blade and activated the Kingmark hidden within it.
Boundless and endless golden light surged out from within the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade, and the jagged and uneven traces of battle along its edges were suddenly smoothed out by a mysterious power.
It sounded like the trumpeting of an ancient elephant had travelled across s.p.a.ce and time to reach them.
Explosive power spread out in a torrent, causing the entire Spiritual Resonance Cave to vibrate. Vast and unfathomable energy surged within the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade in Li Luo's hand.
The torrent of energy ran rampant throughout the sky, constantly colliding with itself. It was as if countless divine runes were being born.
Every single rune was emitting a resonant power that was manifested from the extreme condensation of worldly natural energy.
Li Luo wore a hard-boiled expression on his face as he completely ignored his flesh and blood melting on his arms. Even his bones were fracturing from the sheer amount of worldly natural energy that his body had no way to channel.
But he was in no mood to pay his injuries any heed. Limitless shining, golden blades burst forth from his hands, cleaving straight down towards the Spirit Eye Other King in front of him.
Blade light slashed down, splitting the ancient plains into two.
Even the dome of the sky was cleaved apart.
Faced with Li Luo's strike, the wrinkled countenance of the Spirit Eye Other King finally betrayed a flash of astonishment.
"Could this be... a Kingmark?"
