Chapter 1577: Seizing the Fruit

"Li Luo?!"

When the dragon's head of that Heavenly Dragon probed into the depths of this abyss, the pupils of both the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie shifted slightly. They exchanged a glance, somewhat startled and suspicious: "How did he find this place?!"

This region was shrouded in a dense miasma of malicious intent; even a King-tier powerhouse might not necessarily detect them, so how could Li Luo pinpoint them so precisely?

A dark shade flashed through the Spirit Eye Underworld King's eyes. Li Luo's sudden arrival undoubtedly disrupted their plans somewhat. After all, because of the Heavenly King's Amnesty Decree here, both he and Qin Jiujie could only infiltrate using avatars with shallow strength, so in terms of actual power, they were even far inferior to the current Li Luo.

But the Fate Fruit had yet to be plucked; if they were hindered because of this, then their mission this time would be a failure.

The Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie exchanged a glance, and then both of them dispersed their concealment, revealing their forms.

"Li Luo, back then I spared your life, you little whelp. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to me again today. Since that's the case, then this little life of yours, this old man will still take it back." The Spirit Eye Underworld King's twin pupils were dark and deep, like an abyss, as he gazed indifferently at the purple-gold Heavenly Dragon that had broken through the earth.

"This kid is a calamity, he must not be left alive!" Qin Jiujie also revealed killing intent, causing the void to tremble.

"Spirit Eye Underworld King? Qin Jiujie?!"

When Li Luo saw these two reveal their forms, a look of shock also appeared in his dragon pupils. He truly hadn't expected to discover two King-tier powerhouses from the Return-to-One Society in this abyssal land!

This time, he had indeed been reckless.

Run!

At this thought, Li Luo turned and fled without the slightest hesitation. Although he wasn't sure whether these two had means to shield themselves from the effects of that "True Kings May Not Enter" amnesty decree, in the face of two genuine King-tier powerhouses, caution was never wrong.

"Hmph, want to leave?!"

Qin Jiujie let out a sharp cry, seemingly taking a single step. Vast and boundless killing intent swept forth, causing this entire abyss to tremble for it.

But Li Luo's escape speed seemed even faster. Accompanied by the rumbling of the earth, he swiftly tore through the air and departed.

Seeing this, Qin Jiujie was about to pursue and kill.

"Do not pursue, beware of King-tier ambushes from Li Li Tianwang's lineage!" But the Spirit Eye Underworld King's voice rang out at the same time, stopping him.

Only then did Qin Jiujie pause, but in this brief moment, the Heavenly Dragon that Li Luo had transformed into had already vanished from sight.

Seeing Li Luo flee away, the towering killing intent released by Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King instantly dissipated like smoke and clouds. The two exchanged a glance, both secretly heaving a sigh of relief—thankfully they had bluffed that kid.

"Quick, take the Fate Fruit and leave at once. The Black Rain is about to disperse; the King-tier powerhouses from the Li and Qin Heavenly King lineages will likely arrive soon." The Spirit Eye Underworld King said in a deep voice.

He raised his palm, and a golden jade cauldron appeared in his hand. The cauldron rose slowly, coming beneath that "Fate Fruit." Mysterious light flowed, wrapping it up, and then drawing it within.

Seeing this, a look of joy surfaced in the Spirit Eye Underworld King's eyes. With a beckoning palm, that golden jade cauldron flew toward his sleeve.

Boom!

However, just at the instant the golden jade cauldron was about to fall into his sleeve, this abyss suddenly collapsed violently. A surge of majestic, domineering crystalline dragon breath pierced through the ground, directly with the speed of lightning, ferociously blasting toward Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King.

This offensive was far too sudden, causing both Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King to fail to react. No, perhaps they did react, but they did not have sufficient power to stop it.

The crystalline dragon breath filled their vision; they could only hear a deafening dragon roar echoing forth.

"Li Luo!"

Both the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie had fury rising in their eyes. This dragon breath was clearly from that Li Luo who had previously fled in retreat.

This kid never ran at all!

Earlier he had deliberately been feigning them!

Within their shocked and furious gazes, they saw only a massive Heavenly Dragon burst forth from the earth. From the other's enormous dragon pupils, they seemed to catch a glimpse of a mocking shade.

"Two old fools, putting on a two-man act for young master here? Earlier I was merely testing whether you were affected by the Heavenly King's Amnesty Decree." From that Heavenly Dragon's maw, Li Luo's playful, mocking laughter rang out.

Boom!

The crystalline dragon breath roared past, and before the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie could even utter a single word, they were directly blasted into crystalline shards scattered across the ground.

Li Luo stared at this scene but did not approach immediately; instead, he waited a moment until the crystalline shards had completely dissipated and no further mishaps occurred, before finally heaving a sigh of relief.

"As expected, just two weak avatars."

Li Luo muttered. Two old foxes—clearly hollow inside, yet they had almost truly bluffed him. Fortunately, he was bold and meticulous, which was why he hadn't been scared off.

"The Return-to-One Society hid here just for this thing?"

Li Luo's dragon pupils turned toward that golden jade cauldron suspended in mid-air. Within the cauldron, a wondrous golden fruit could be seen quietly rising and sinking. The vast vitality emanating from it appeared utterly out of place in this abyss permeated with malicious intent.

Li Luo extended his dragon claw and directly grabbed that golden jade cauldron. His dragon pupils examined the golden fruit within as he muttered to himself: "Earlier, what caused the 'Heavenly Thunder Bamboo' that Grandfather transformed into to emit an anomaly was this mysterious golden fruit, right?"

Previously, after he had shattered the black Jingguan, he had originally intended to retreat first, but within the spatial orb, the "Heavenly Thunder Bamboo" that Li Li Jingzhe had transformed into suddenly emitted an anomaly, as if drawn by something.

Thus, Li Luo followed the guiding fluctuation and broke open the earth, only to discover Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King lurking in the depths of the abyss.

"Whatever, I'll pocket it first."

Li Luo grabbed the golden jade cauldron, directly tossed it into his dragon maw, and then turned to leave the abyss.

And when Li Luo left the abyss, he discovered that the malicious black clouds blanketing the horizon had already dispersed, and the once overwhelming Black Rain had also turned into a thin black fog.

Li Luo vaguely sensed that the rules of the "Heavenly King's Amnesty Decree" binding this land were vanishing.

This secretly made him heave a sigh of relief. The reason this calamity had been so difficult was mainly because this "Heavenly King's Amnesty Decree" restricted the entry of King-tier power, which prevented the true top-tier power of the Heavenly King lineage from acting, leaving them mere bystanders.

Boom!

However, just as Li Luo was about to depart, this void suddenly began to tremble violently. A massive black eyeball opened within the void, and then from within the eyeball, two terrifying auras descended by traversing the void.

"Li Luo, you dare lay a finger on my Return-to-One Society's belongings? Are you tired of living?!" Simultaneously, a voice thick with bone-chilling killing intent rang out in fury.

It was the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie!

Moreover, the oppressive aura this time was far beyond what the two avatars in the abyss could compare to. Clearly, their true bodies had come!

Seeing this, Li Luo's scalp instantly went numb. These two old fools had actually arrived so quickly. It seemed their true bodies had been hidden nearby, and now that the Black Rain was beginning to recede, their power naturally extended in.

Run!

The purple-gold Heavenly Dragon's tail swept, and he had already transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, directly shattering the void, tearing through the air toward the rear at extreme speed.

Facing two King-tier powerhouses, and both at the peak of the Double-Crowned King at that, he had absolutely no intention of clashing head-on.

Boom!

However, how could the Spirit Eye Underworld King and Qin Jiujie allow him to escape with the Fate Fruit? They saw blood energy gather from the void, transforming into a massive blood-eye. The blood-eye slowly opened, within which countless blood-red runes flowed.

"Death-Illuminating Underworld Light."

Accompanied by a low, chilling voice, a blood-red beam suddenly pierced the sky. The blood-red beam was saturated with the aura of death, as if anything it touched would be stripped of its vitality and reduced to dead matter.

Under such an attack, even with Li Luo's powerful Heavenly Dragon body, he would be killed in a single strike!

Clearly, Li Luo's snatching of the Fate Fruit had thoroughly enraged the Spirit Eye Nether King.

The blood-light descended from the sky, instantly sealing off all of Li Luo's escape routes. Within his purple-golden dragon pupils, a look of shock surfaced. So this is the strength of a peak Double-Crowned King — truly terrifying beyond compare.

So Li Luo opened his dragon maw and roared: "Mother, save me!"

Bang!

The instant Li Luo's roar rang out, the space behind him suddenly surged with a vast, boundless gold-and-silver radiance. A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering clear cry of a great peng came wrapped in domineering intent, reverberating through layer upon layer of void.

A slender, fair-skinned palm reached out from the void and gently closed around the blood-light descending from the sky.

Boom!

Instantly, space twisted and collapsed, and the blood-light was utterly crushed within that twisted space, shattering into a skyful of blood-red specks of light, swallowed by the violent power of space.

And just as that terrifyingly powerful blood-light was crushed, beside the Heavenly Dragon Li Luo had become, space twisted. A woman's figure stepped out through the rippling space — clad in a purple overcoat, hands tucked in her pockets, her bearing elegant yet commanding.

At the same time, her voice, tinged with a smile, rang out as well.

"Here I come, my good son."
