Chapter 1316: ,324: A Glorious Battle Record

Roar!

Three massive dragons, each radiating a different attribute of energy fluctuation, let out a deafening roar, then circled one another. As the void trembled, a mottled, ancient dragon banner condensed into being.

The ancient dragon banner hovered before Li Luo. The energy of heaven and earth converged at an astonishing speed, and an overwhelmingly oppressive pressure spread out in all directions like a tide.

Li Luo stretched out his palm and directly gripped the banner's pole.

The moment he grasped it, an unprecedented sensation immediately arose.

In the past, when Li Luo used the Three-Dragon Heaven Banner Art to condense the "Dragon Banner," he had to pour out all his strength just to barely swing it, because this banner was very peculiar — to drive it, one had to rely on physical strength.

Using phase force to drive it, on the other hand, had little effect.

In the past, Li Luo, aided by the "Dragon Transformation" of the Dragon-Seed True Pill to assume a half-dragon-man form, could barely swing the dragon banner. But now, when Li Luo once again gripped the dragon banner, he felt that the once incomparably heavy mottled banner had become extraordinarily light.

Li Luo's eyes widened in astonishment. He casually swung the mottled banner once, and immediately the banner swept through the air, wrapped in terrifying energy fluctuations, shattering the void again and again.

A faint divine light radiated from it, as though possessing the might to suppress all things.

Li Luo pondered silently. He looked at his own arms and saw a faint purple-gold pattern flickering across his skin, looking like a hazy dragon shadow.

That was the Purple-Gold Dragon Pattern.

When Li Luo had previously evolved the Heavenly Dragon Physique, his physical body had undergone tremendous refinement. This so-called "Purple-Gold Dragon Pattern" was the power drawn forth from the Heavenly Dragon bloodline, capable of greatly enhancing his physical strength and defense.

"The might of the Three-Dragon Heaven Banner Art has also become far more powerful than before."

Additionally, Li Luo sensed the majestic divine light radiating from the mottled banner in his hand. The current dragon banner seemed to be flowing with an extremely pure, ancient power — that was the phase force of his Heavenly Dragon Physique.

The Heavenly Dragon phase force, condensed from this "Sovereign of Dragon Physiques," clearly received an amplification when executing this Marquis-tier art imbued with dragon-attribute power.

At this moment, Li Luo felt his own state had reached an unprecedented peak.

This was partly due to the Heavenly Dragon Physique, partly due to the refinement of his own strength, and of course, it could not do without the augmentation from Li Hongyou.

Therefore, even though the towering miasma of malevolent will surged toward him, and four Upper First-Rank True Demons bared their fangs, their terrifying killing intent filling his vision, Li Luo's heart held not the slightest trace of fear.

On the contrary, under the horrified gazes of the Da Tian Xiang Jing members of the Dragon Fang Guard behind him, he stepped forward directly.

Clearly intending to face the four Upper First-Rank True Demons alone!

This scene was truly too shocking for these Da Tian Xiang Jing members. They had never heard of any Da Tian Xiang Jing daring to face four Upper First-Rank True Demons head-on with their own strength alone!

Even a Second-Rank Marquis-level expert would have to tread carefully against a True Demon horde of this scale.

Even though Li Luo had Li Hongyou's augmentation, this disparity in strength was still difficult to overcome.

However, their horror did not cause Li Luo's footsteps to pause in the slightest. On the contrary, his pace quickened, and at the same time, the mottled ancient dragon banner in his hand erupted with resplendent, multicolored divine light.

The next instant, Li Luo swung the banner with a heart as still as water. The purple-gold dragon patterns on his arms became extraordinarily bright at this moment, and wisps of purple-gold radiance shone upon the dragon banner, causing the multicolored divine light there to grow ever deeper and brighter.

Three-Dragon Divine-Suppressing Light!

The multicolored divine light erupted across the heavens at this moment. Wherever the divine light passed, the viscous, frigid miasma of malevolent will was like remnant snow meeting lava — it melted away at a terrifying speed.

The Three-Dragon Divine-Suppressing Light already had some restraining effect on the miasma of malevolent will. Now, with the augmentation of the Heavenly Dragon Physique, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

The majestic divine light, like a multicolored divine blade, shattered the heavens, shattered the darkness, wrapped in Li Luo's phase force without the slightest reservation, and in a posture of fearless advance, cleaved toward the four charging Upper First-Rank True Demon aberrations.

In this strike, Li Luo held nothing back.

And the people behind him also widened their eyes. This was the strongest Da Tian Xiang Jing they had ever witnessed. In the past, on the Fenghua Ranking of Outer Shenzhou, if anyone could, with the strength of a Da Tian Xiang Jing, escape death at the hands of a First-Rank Marquis-level expert, it was enough to be recorded, drawing the admiration of countless prodigies.

But if word of the scene before them were to spread, Li Luo's entry would likely become heavier than any before.

Even Li Hongyou's beautiful eyes shimmered with extraordinary brilliance at this moment. She had previously trained at the Celestial Star Academy of Outer Shenzhou's Ancient Academy, where she had seen countless young prodigies, such as the former chief, Wu Changkong.

But if Wu Changkong, before his breakthrough to the Marquis Realm, had witnessed Li Luo's strike, his confidence would likely have been utterly shattered.

Amidst the many exclamations, the multicolored divine light collided with the four towering surges of malevolent will.

Boom, boom!

An unimaginable energy shockwave erupted like a hurricane in an instant. Li Hongyou and the Da Tian Xiang Jing members of the Dragon Fang Guard were blasted stumbling backward. The former fared a little better, but the latter were eventually flipped to the ground, their qi and blood churning.

Some nearby aberrations were even torn into wisps of black mist by the aftershock.

Above Li Hongyou's head, a Marquis Platform materialized. Marquis divine smoke flowed down, forming a light barrier that forcibly withstood the energy shockwave, while her gaze remained fixed tightly on the source of the collision ahead.

Then her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

At the place where the ground had violently shattered, Li Luo and the four Upper First-Rank True Demons had crossed paths. The clothing on his upper body had been entirely dissolved by the miasma of malevolent will, revealing his bare torso. Across his body were dark, vicious wounds, and at the wounds, liquid-like miasma of malevolent will was corroding his flesh and blood.

But at the wounds, purple-gold radiance also radiated, dissolving those venom-like droplets of malevolent will.

The dragon banner in his hand drifted slowly, causing the void to tremble.

Behind him, the bizarre bodies of the four Upper First-Rank True Demons also froze. Immediately after, mottled, multicolored cracks rapidly spread across their surfaces.

Boom!

The next instant, their bodies violently exploded. Countless foul-smelling, pitch-black liquids poured out like a flood, and at the same time, these liquids writhed, transforming into countless grotesque, miniature aberrations that then fled frantically in all directions.

These True Demons had not truly died. As long as a single wisp escaped, they could regenerate later by drawing on the miasma of malevolent will.

Hoo.

But at this moment, Li Luo exhaled a ball of Lesser Formless Fire from his mouth. The flames swept across, directly incinerating all the remnants of these True Demon aberrations. At this point, the four Upper First-Rank True Demons had died without leaving even the slightest trace behind.

The mottled dragon banner in Li Luo's hand also dissipated into specks of light, and then a wave of weakness welled up from within him, while the wounds on his body sent out intense, stabbing pain.

That strike just now had condensed all of his phase force — it was the peak state he had achieved in this most recent period.

As Li Luo's figure swayed slightly, a slender, somewhat cool, jade-like hand pressed against his back, followed by a gentle power suffused with a strange fragrance.

That power surged into his body, causing his depleted phase palaces to begin greedily absorbing it, thereby restoring his phase force.

The vicious wounds on his body were also healing at an astonishing speed.

Li Luo turned his head, looked at Li Hongyou standing behind him, and smiled. "Thanks, Senior Hongyou."

Li Hongyou's beautiful eyes stared at him in astonishment. "With the strength of a Da Tian Xiang Jing, slaying four Upper First-Rank True Demon aberrations — such a feat. Within a hundred years in Outer Shenzhou, I fear no Da Tian Xiang Jing can surpass you."

Li Luo said modestly, "Without Senior Hongyou's augmentation, I couldn't have done this either."

In this feat, Li Hongyou's contribution was indispensable. Moreover, his "Three-Dragon Divine-Suppressing Light" already had some targeting effect against the miasma of malevolent will of these aberrations, and combined with the amplification that Heavenly Dragon phase force provided to this Si Si Tianming-tier Marquis Art, it naturally achieved an unexpected result.

Behind them, the Da Tian Xiang Jing members of the Dragon Fang Guard gazed at Li Luo with awestruck, reverent eyes, as though beholding a heavenly being.

At this moment, they deeply felt what it meant to have one's own Da Tian Xiang Jing, and what it meant to have someone else's Da Tian Xiang Jing.

And while Li Luo was recovering his Xiang Power with the assistance of Li Hongyou after slaying four Upper-Grade True Demons, from a nearby, even more astonishing battlefield, resplendent, sacred light Xiang Power poured down, purifying all of the sky-obscuring miasma of malevolence.

At the same time, a shrill, piercing shriek rang out.

The overwhelming miasma of malevolence began to recede.

So Li Luo and the others understood that the Fourth-Grade True Demon had been slain by Li Foluo and Jiang Jiang Qinge working together.

This was an expected outcome.

That True Demon had indeed reached the Upper Fourth-Grade tier, but it was only on par with Li Foluo. Now, with the addition of Jiang Jiang Qinge—a powerful ally whose damage against alien creatures was terrifyingly immense—the True Demon was only able to hold out for some time because the two of them did not want to damage the Top-Tier Within Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures growing on the strange horn atop the True Demon's head, which forced them to hold back somewhat.

Under the gazes of the delighted crowd, Li Foluo and Jiang Jiang Qinge stepped through the air and arrived before them; between them, two verdant branches radiating spiritual light floated quietly.

The two Foundation Establishment spiritual treasures were successfully obtained.
