Chapter 1501: The Twelve-Winged Statue of Light

Boom!

A Celestial Dragon with a body stretching three thousand zhang pierced through the vast light-attribute energy filling the sky, finally crashing down onto this enormous luminous star, kicking up billowing clouds of dust.

Li Luo's purple-gold dragon pupils turned toward the most conspicuous spot on this vast land—a sacred mountain rising straight from the earth, with endless steps climbing it, and at the top of those steps, a magnificent Hall of Light.

And within the hall, a statue of light could be seen.

That statue of light bore twelve sacred wings, as if emanating vast Buddhist chants that echoed across this luminous star, while countless ancient, pure light-attribute runes drifted around it like sprites.

Li Luo stared at the twelve-winged statue of light, faintly sensing an extremely mysterious resonance and fluctuation emanating from it—a resonance he found somewhat familiar, because he had once felt it from the "Myriad Aspects Dragon Fang Sword Formation."

Peerless Resonance!

Moreover, in a certain sense, the Peerless Resonance possessed by this twelve-winged statue of light was even richer than that of the "Myriad Aspects Dragon Fang Sword Formation," which was itself a Peerless Embryonic Art.

Then, the answer was self-evident.

The so-called Peerless Light Art was none other than the twelve-winged statue of light within the sacred hall.

Standing atop the dragon's head, Jiang Jiang Qinge's radiant and mysterious golden eyes also blossomed with dazzling brilliance at this moment; she could faintly sense the twelve-winged statue of light calling out to her.

Faced with a Peerless Light Art that suited her so perfectly, even Jiang Jiang Qinge, with her usually composed temperament, felt her heartbeat quicken slightly.

Then she shifted her gaze toward another direction below the sacred mountain, where two figures hovered in midair.

They were none other than Diwu Mingxuan and Song Jing.

"Sister Jiang Qinge, go!" the Celestial Dragon that Li Luo had transformed into let out a low voice.

"Be careful of that Song Jing. If you can't match him, just buy some time—once I finish off Diwu Mingxuan, I'll come help you." Jiang Jiang Qinge's slender hand gently stroked the sharp dragon horn before her as she spoke softly.

"Don't worry about me. He's just an Upper Eighth Rank. Once I defeat him, my record in this Sky Mirror Pagoda trial will surpass yours." Li Luo opened his dragon maw, revealing sharp dragon fangs, and laughter rang out at the same time.

"Defeating a Feng Hou Realm powerhouse of the Upper Eighth Rank with a Peerless Third Rank—such a feat hasn't been accomplished by any powerhouse in nearly a hundred years of Sky Mirror Pagoda trials. If you can pull it off, your name will surely be recorded in the Sky Mirror Pagoda for later generations to revere and worship." Jiang Jiang Qinge offered encouragement.

Li Luo, however, said with some disdain: "Why would I want them to worship me?"

"Oh? Then who do you want worshipping you? Me?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge smiled lightly, a hint of dangerous aura swirling in her eyes.

"Cough... cough..."

The majestic Celestial Dragon let out a thunderous cough.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's red lips pursed slightly as she said: "We'll talk about that after you defeat this Song Jing."

Li Luo's spirit suddenly surged: "And after I defeat him?"

Jiang Jiang Qinge was somewhat speechless. She couldn't help but tap the dragon horn with the heavy sword in her hand, producing a crisp sound like metal striking metal. Then, ignoring Li Luo, her slender figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, shooting toward the sacred mountain.

The moment she moved, Diwu Mingxuan also set off immediately.

Song Jing, meanwhile, gave a fierce flick of the red fan in his hand, whipping up a massive pillar of fire that blasted toward Jiang Jiang Qinge with an utterly violent momentum.

Boom!

But at that moment, a stream of purple-gold dragon breath pierced through the void and shattered the fire pillar.

The enormous purple-gold Celestial Dragon descended from the sky, blocking Song Jing's path, and a resonant voice rang out from its maw: "Song Jing, our fight is only just beginning!"

Song Jing narrowed his eyes at the Celestial Dragon before him. He could sense that the phase force flowing through Li Luo's body was now stronger than before by a notch, and on that massive dragon body, a crimson glow full of vibrant vitality was circulating.

"Upper Third Rank now?"

"That red-haired woman must have buffed him."

Song Jing muttered to himself, but his expression remained calm. As long as Li Luo hadn't reached Peerless Fourth Rank, he would always hold a clear advantage—after all, no matter what, the grade advantage of Upper Eighth Rank could not be ignored.

No matter how extraordinarily talented a prodigy might be, it was difficult to bridge that gap.

Above Song Jing's head, eight Feng Hou Platforms stood tall, crimson like lava, devouring the world's energy while emitting an utterly terrifying pressure that made even the void emit sounds of shattering under the strain.

"Feng Hou Domain: Flame Prison!"

As Song Jing's low shout rang out, that crimson domain spread out once more, covering this stretch of heaven and earth.

Song Jing glanced at the area covered by his crimson domain, his brow furrowing slightly, because he discovered that on this luminous star, the range of his domain had been somewhat suppressed—presumably because the light-attribute energy here was too vast and dense, naturally weakening energies of other attributes.

Fortunately, he wasn't the one facing Jiang Jiang Qinge right now, or it would have been especially frustrating.

Song Jing spread his crimson domain while violently fanning with the red fan in his hand. Instantly, a flame tornado storm stretching thousands of zhang rapidly took shape between heaven and earth, the storm seemingly connecting sky and earth, releasing waves of destruction.

Wherever it passed, the sprawling mountain ranges were scorched black.

And from those eight crimson Feng Hou Platforms, Feng Hou divine smoke like molten lava poured down, infusing the flame tornado storm and amplifying its power.

At this moment, Song Jing's strikes were even more ferocious than when he had been on the plaza earlier.

Clearly, he wanted to end this quickly—defeat Li Luo as soon as possible, then go help Diwu Mingxuan and secure the opportunity completely.

The crimson domain enveloped heaven and earth, and the Celestial Dragon Li Luo had become once again felt that overbearing, scorching intent. If he hadn't now transformed into a Celestial Dragon, greatly enhancing his physical body's durability, the high temperature within this domain alone would have been unbearable.

As a technique exclusive to Upper Grade Marquis, this Feng Hou Domain was indeed troublesome.

The Celestial Dragon exhaled billowing purple light from its nostrils, and its razor-sharp dragon claw suddenly slashed down at the void ahead.

Ssssh!

The void was directly torn apart, and in the next instant, three enormous dragon shadows roared forth, carrying Netherwater, Crimsonflame, and Lei Guang, before merging together into an ancient, heavy dragon banner.

Three-Dragon Heaven Banner Art!

The giant dragon claw directly seized the dragon banner and swung it. Boundless, multicolored divine light swept forth, like a rainbow waterfall across the sky, sweeping toward the massive flame tornado storm.

Three-Dragon Demon-Suppressing Divine Light!

Streaks of divine light struck the flame tornado storm, continuously extinguishing its raging flames. But within this domain, fire-attribute energy from heaven and earth endlessly reinforced it, causing it to grow stronger.

The flame storm still rolled toward the Celestial Dragon Li Luo had become.

Seeing this, Li Luo immediately let out an earth-shaking dragon roar, then unhesitatingly activated the "Little Dragon Sacred Seed."

The moment the Little Dragon Sacred Seed was activated, the grade of the Celestial Dragon phase within Li Luo skyrocketed, rising directly to Mid Ninth Rank!

As the Celestial Dragon phase's grade rose, the Celestial Dragon body Li Luo had become also expanded at a staggering speed. In just a brief moment, it swelled from three thousand zhang to five thousand zhang!

The Celestial Dragon coiled in the void, and the might of the Celestial Dragon swept outward like a tide.

The terrifying temperature also continuously clashed against the might of the Heavenly Dragon, setting off rumbling without end.

The Heavenly Dragon let out a long roar. Within its dragon pupils was reflected the incoming fiery tornado storm. The ancient dragon banner between its dragon claws was directly hurled out by it, transforming into a streak of rainbow light that shot viciously toward the fiery tornado.

Boom!

The ancient dragon banner tore through the flames and plunged within, and instantly ten thousands of motley beams of light pierced out.

The fiery storm that Song Jing had driven with all his might by borrowing the power of the Feng Hou Zhong Jie domain was actually forcibly suppressed and scattered.

Song Jing gazed at the fiery storm that was beginning to scatter, a look of surprise also flashing across his eyes, and then he let out a sigh of admiration, saying: "A mid ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon phase, truly overbearing."

However, his offensive was not limited to just this.

Song Jing took a deep breath, and his hands abruptly formed a seal.

One could see that at the center of the fiery storm about to scatter, a Golden Crow suddenly let out a sharp cry, and a crimson-gold light could be seen shooting out, swelling against the wind, and in an instant transforming to a size of a thousand zhang.

Within Li Luo's dragon pupils was reflected that object, and he discovered that it was...

A massive crimson-gold seal.

Boom!

The crimson-gold seal crushed the heavens, smashing down with a thunderous crash.
