Chapter 1139: The Power of Many

The fall of the second Black Coffin person caused an extremely conspicuous stir in this chaotic battlefield. Not only were the other students of the two ancient academies shaken, even those ferociously attacking "Ghost-Slaying Sect" members suddenly changed expression.

Gaze after gaze couldn't help but turn toward a corner of the battlefield, where a young figure stood holding a blade, emanating an incomparably sharp aura. Behind him, nine Tian Zhu slowly drifted, breathing in and out the world's energy like stars in motion.

Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing.

But Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing is still just Tian Zhu Jing! What kind of Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing could consecutively slay two Da Tian Xiang Jing level strong enemies?!

This is absurdly over the top!

If the killing of the first Black Coffin person was because Li Luo caught him off guard, causing the latter to fail to even deploy a measure like "Aberration," then this second one was a genuine, straightforward slaying.

Although Li Luo did take some slight advantage, that was a matter of combat experience. One could only say the second Black Coffin person wasn't careful enough in his thinking, but that was normal—these Black Coffin people had fused with the power of aberrations, and for them to still maintain their humanity was already extremely rare. To additionally demand that they possess meticulous thinking would simply be too harsh a requirement.

Moreover, any excuse sought now would be pale and powerless. The two Black Coffin people beneath Li Luo's blade had completely set him apart.

Especially in the current stalemated, intense battle situation, Li Luo being the first to achieve a kill instantly caused his side's morale to surge.

For a time, they faintly managed to hold off the pincer attack from the Evil Qiao Sect and the Ghost-Slaying Sect.

Li Luo also let out a long breath at this moment. His palm gripped the Dragon Elephant Blade tightly, and the surging phase force within his body gradually calmed down.

That brief peak state achieved from his recent breakthrough also began to recede.

The previous two battles, for him, were not only a drain on phase force, but on essence, qi, and spirit. The opponents were, after all, Da Tian Xiang Jing level powerhouses, and the gap between them was extremely clear. That he could win admittedly involved some trickery, but between life and death, who cares about fairness.

"My phase force consumption is too great, almost seventy to eighty percent." Li Luo frowned. Although his achievements here were brilliant, with such massive consumption, there was no way to change the overall situation.

But the current battle situation, although briefly improved in morale because of his side, hadn't actually changed much overall.

Wang Kong, Yin Yue Zhiyu, and Li Hongyou were still bearing enormous pressure, holding off over a dozen Great Evil Qiao. Wang Kong might seem like an unbreakable city wall, but that was only because of the augmentation from the latter two. Once that augmentation faded, even Wang Kong would likely be overwhelmed, and the situation would spiral out of control.

Feng Lingyuan, Wei Chonglou, and Duan Mu were also locked in an evenly matched fight against the Blood Coffin person. Even fighting together, the three of them hadn't gained any clear advantage, and sometimes even fell into a disadvantage because of the opponent's bizarre attack methods.

Other areas were also scenes of brutal slaughter.

The situation remained far from optimistic.

But recovering phase force required time, and Li Luo, despite his inner anxiety, could only quietly wait.

"Li Luo!"

Just then, however, Li Luo suddenly heard a familiar shout. Turning his head, he saw some staggering figures appear in his line of sight on a street behind him.

Among them, Li Luo saw some familiar faces—Lu Ming, Jing Jing Taixu, Sun Sun Dasheng, and others.

They were precisely those other students who had encountered a curse upon entering the city and been transformed into human-skin lanterns hanging in the sky above the city.

They were now gradually recovering. Although their condition was terribly poor, they still gathered toward the great battle, trying to contribute.

Lu Ming's pretty face was somewhat pale as she shouted at Li Luo: "Come here, we'll help replenish your phase force!"

Looking at these shabby-looking people, a warm current rose in Li Luo's heart. The academy arranging for some lower-star house students to participate in the mission did have its merits. At the very least, Li Luo now saw these "energy packs" and almost felt the word "adorable" written on their foreheads.

So his figure moved, and he swiftly drifted over with his blade.

He landed before Lu Ming and the others with fierce momentum, the earlier sharp aura of having slain two Black Coffin people still lingering, which immediately startled them into instinctively stepping back, afraid Li Luo would swing his blade at them.

But then they immediately laughed sheepishly and moved closer. One palm after another, with mysterious glowing patterns on their backs, landed on Li Luo's body.

The next instant, Li Luo felt streams of pure energy surge into his body. Suddenly, within his three phase palaces, it was as if a timely rain had fallen, causing his phase force to begin recovering at an astonishing speed.

Feeling the phase force within him surge, Li Luo let out a comfortable breath, and the phase force fluctuations emanating from him once again became thick and powerful.

The role of energy packs, at critical moments, was truly more reliable than a powerful Da Tian Xiang Jing level teammate.

In just a short moment, the phase force Li Luo had consumed was completely replenished, and at this time, other students continued to use "Ancient Spirit Leaves" to convert their own phase force and send it over.

So Li Luo began to feel a faint throbbing pain emanating from within his body.

The nine Tian Zhu behind him became incomparably radiant.

Lu Ming and the others also sensed Li Luo's phase force recovering, so they began to gradually restrain their phase force and stop the infusion.

But at this moment, a thoughtful glint flashed through Li Luo's eyes.

He said to the crowd: "Don't stop yet. Try to see if you can continue converting phase force and infusing it into me?"

Lu Ming and the others were all stunned, then hurriedly said: "But if you do that, your body simply won't be able to bear it."

Although their levels were now far behind Li Luo's, the conversion of the "Ancient Spirit Leaves" did have some amplification effect, and with so many of them, accumulated together, it was also an extremely massive amount of energy. Although Li Luo had now stepped into Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing, it would still be very hard for him to bear it.

If the energy were to explode his body, that would be no laughing matter.

Li Luo thought for a moment, then said seriously: "I know the risk, but the current situation needs a powerful breakthrough point. Although I've slain two Black Coffin people, I haven't truly changed the situation. If Luo De Xiang Fa can be realized, it might be able to completely reverse the battle."

Although his phase force had now recovered, if he just joined the battle like this, at most he could only go and pick off a few more Black Coffin people or Great Evil Qiao, but honestly speaking, that wouldn't be of much use. The overall situation would at best shift to a slight advantage.

Therefore, to end this great battle, Li Luo had to find the true breakthrough point.

Li Luo's gaze swept around, finally locking onto the Blood Coffin person locked in fierce combat with Feng Lingyuan and the other two.

That was the greatest variable in the current situation.

But the Blood Coffin person was far too powerful, being at the true peak of Da Tian Xiang Jing. To face him alone, only Wu Changkong could match him.

Even though Li Luo had now stepped into Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing, to inflict damage on the Blood Coffin person, probably even the "Great Blood Poison Art" wouldn't have much effect.

Therefore, he wanted to find another way, and this energy infusion from the "Ancient Spirit Leaves" gave him a bit of inspiration.

Seeing his utterly serious expression, even some students from the two ancient academies exchanged uncertain glances. Li Luo's idea was too audacious.

Their combined phase force, converted and amplified through the Ancient Spirit Leaves, could almost completely fill the phase force consumption of a Da Tian Xiang Jing level. With such massive energy flooding into Li Luo's body, his body and phase palaces would, with the slightest mishap, fall into a dangerous situation.

But they all understood the situation was extremely critical now. If there was no breakthrough point, they would likely gradually fall into a disadvantage, and then they would suffer even more grievous casualties.

"Then, how about we try a little at a time? If we sense something wrong, we'll stop." Lu Ming hesitated, then said.

"Special times do call for some risk. Since Li Luo would say this, he must have some confidence." Jing Jing Taixu said.

Hearing this, the others stopped hesitating. So one palm after another once again made contact with Li Luo's body, the "Ancient Spirit Leaves" on their backs rapidly brightening, and streams of pure energy began to pour into Li Luo's body in an unceasing torrent.

A throbbing pain quickly appeared within Li Luo's body.

All three phase palaces emitted a humming sound at this moment.

Behind Li Luo, the nine Tian Zhu had become dazzling to the extreme, even resembling nine miniature blazing suns.

Sizzle!

Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and fresh blood seeped out.

The others were startled at the sight and wanted to stop.

But Li Luo stopped them with a look, then without hesitation he activated the "Dragon Seed True Pill" within his body.

Dragon Seed True Pill: Transform into Dragon!

Roar!

The next moment, from within Li Luo's body came an ancient dragon's cry, as if transmitted from the primordial past.
