Chapter 1535: Another One Arrives

From the tiny crack in the black coffin, a wisp of black wind seemed to blow out; where the black wind fell, the purple qi lotus from Cloud Li Tianwang appeared to be eroded by some invisible force and began to wither rapidly.

The golden dragon transformed from Li Jun's Coiling Dragon Golden Staff—the indestructible dragon scales on its body—also gradually turned grey-black at this moment, then crumbled into powder and scattered.

Both Li Jun and Cloud Li Tianwang's gazes hardened.

"What a strange black wind."

Even for two such powerful beings, they sensed within that black wind a kind of nihility-like aura, as if anything in the world, once tainted by it, would wither and rot.

Li Jun and Cloud Li Tianwang did not dare be careless; they immediately mobilized vast, boundless might, and the mere wisp of power that leaked out made Li Luo and the others feel an unmatched wave of destruction.

Only when the two Li Tianwang struck with full force did they manage to resist the falling black wind.

However, as the pressure on this side increased, the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect" that Li Jun had seized on his other side began slowly slipping away.

At this moment, both sides were like contestants in a tug-of-war.

Neither was willing to let go easily.

Void Li Tianwang saw this, and a shadow of gloom surfaced in his eyes. This Li Jun was truly troublesome; the black wind he had invoked by praying the black coffin down had still failed to drive Li Jun back.

The current situation was gradually turning unfavorable for him; if this dragged on, no one could guarantee whether other Li Tianwang from the Academy Alliance might come rushing over.

Although the Guiyi Hui also had Li Tianwang who had yet to act, for such beings to truly act in person, they would also have to endure tremendous restrictions.

Void Li Tianwang deliberated briefly, then suddenly flicked his sleeve; the black wind split into wisps and strands, beginning to erode toward the surrounding void.

From the depths of the void, purple clouds surged forth, but the instant they touched the black wind, they were corroded.

As the purple clouds were corroded, a purple cloud diagram faintly appeared in this stretch of heaven and earth. That cloud diagram was precisely what Cloud Li Tianwang used to protect the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda, and at the same time protected the many mentors within the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda—after all, a battle between Li Tianwang was far too terrifying; even a slight leak would deal them a devastating blow.

However, at this moment, as the black wind corroded, grey-black spots began appearing on the purple cloud diagram.

Cloud Li Tianwang's expression shifted slightly, and he said: "He wants to tear open the cloud diagram's defense and involve the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda and the mentors within!"

This Void Li Tianwang was truly ruthless; seeing the situation deadlocked, he actually intended to use the lives of the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda and the mentors within to force Cloud Li Tianwang to withdraw his hand.

Li Jun's handsome face also grew somewhat solemn—Void Li Tianwang's move was indeed vicious.

If Cloud Li Tianwang now had to divide his attention to maintain the cloud diagram's defense, that would also force Li Jun to be unable to spare attention to contest the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect" against the "Green Stone Lotus Platform"; when his power withdrew, this item would fall into Void Li Tianwang's hands.

But it was clearly impossible to ask Cloud Li Tianwang to disregard the lives of the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda and those mentors.

Therefore, at this very moment, even Li Jun felt trouble.

However, just at the instant Li Jun was about to make his decision, he and Cloud Li Tianwang suddenly stiffened, because they sensed an extremely terrifying cold qi suddenly surging forth in heaven and earth.

The domineering nature of that cold qi was as if even time itself had been frozen still by it.

"This cold qi..."

Li Jun and Cloud Li Tianwang exclaimed in surprise: "It's the one from Golden Dragon Mountain."

They whipped their heads around, looking behind Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, where there was a girl with long ice-blue hair—it was Lu Qing'er.

But their gazes were not fixed on Lu Qing'er; they were looking at the "Sacred Aspect Crystal Core" between her brows.

At this moment, deep within that "Sacred Aspect Crystal Core," a woman's figure could faintly be seen seated in the center of an ice lotus.

A faint, indistinct woman's voice pierced through layers of space, finally emanating from within the "Sacred Aspect Crystal Core."

"The two of you, leave the Heavenly Mirror Pagoda and the others to me to protect; only, for this final fortuity, please grant a share to my junior here." That voice was piercingly cold, yet exceedingly pleasant, and at the same time carried a heavy sense of authority.

When her voice fell, from the depths of the void, cold qi terrifying enough to freeze time rolled forth, meeting that eerie black wind; the two made contact, and the void violently trembled and collapsed.

Li Jun and Cloud Li Tianwang exchanged a glance—they hadn't expected this Li Tianwang Lu of Golden Dragon Mountain to also be drawn here; however, she had not descended in her true form, but rather used the Ice Sacred Seed as a medium to exert force from afar.

Nevertheless, for the current situation, this was enough to play a decisive role.

"Li Li Tianwang, you go ahead; I'll hold them off briefly."

Cloud Li Tianwang laughed; his body suddenly expanded without limit, purple clouds billowing, and he directly stomped toward Void Li Tianwang with one foot.

Li Jun, meanwhile, extended two arms, both transforming into dragon arms tens of thousands of miles long; finally, two dragon claws capable of plucking stars and seizing sun and moon fiercely seized the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect."

Crack!

Under Li Jun's brute force, fine cracks actually appeared on the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect."

"Void Li Tianwang, this fortune cannot be yours to devour alone!" Li Jun laughed loudly.

Void Li Tianwang's expression had already become unsightly to the extreme at this moment; he had never imagined that in this scheme of his, a disruptor like Li Jun would actually appear—clearly all those Li Tianwang were within his calculations and absolutely could not have come to rescue.

And that cold qi... Golden Dragon Mountain had actually come to stick its nose in as well.

Although Li Tianwang Lu was not here in her true form, her power was already enough to bring him pressure.

Therefore, at this very moment, Void Li Tianwang understood that today, it was already impossible for him to take this "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect" away completely intact.

Void Li Tianwang was silent for several breaths, then finally let out a sigh, a look of resolve flashing through his eyes.

He formed hand seals with both hands and activated the "Green Stone Lotus Platform"; atop the lotus platform, mysterious light immediately burst forth, and that mysterious light fell upon the "Divine Fruit Crystal Aspect," actually drilling in through those cracks, and finally seized the "Divine Fruit" with the outline of a fruit within it.

The mysterious light swept up the "Divine Fruit" and shot skyward, finally falling into the lotus platform.

The lotus platform rapidly transformed, once again becoming the green stone ancient seal, which landed in Void Li Tianwang's hand.

Gripping the ancient seal, Void Li Tianwang gazed with heartache and gloom at the "Crystal Aspect" seized away by Li Jun's two giant arms; within that crystal aspect, there still remained a portion of the super ninth-grade "Aspect Phase Energy," and the loss of this energy would also make his scheme this time imperfect.

But, there was no choice.

Void Li Tianwang's figure moved, landing atop the black coffin; the black coffin directly shattered layers of void, then vanished under the watchful gazes of Li Jun and Cloud Li Tianwang.

However, with Void Li Tianwang's departure, his voice, brimming with killing intent, echoed through heaven and earth.

"Li Jun, remember today's debt well."

"My Guiyi Hui will not let your Li Li Tianwang lineage off."

"I hope when your Li Li Tianwang lineage is annihilated, you won't regret today's interference."

The waves of destruction in heaven and earth were gradually receding; this terrifying battle between Li Tianwang finally drew to a close with such an outcome.
