Chapter 1619: The Ghost Heads Open Their Eyes

The blood water flooding the entire Lu Lan Mansion headquarters had now turned pitch-black as ink, the surface deathly still, without the slightest ripple or wave. This eerie calm only made people feel even more dread.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge stared at the pitch-black water surface. They could faintly sense that a life-and-death mutual erosion was likely taking place at the bottom of the lake, but at this stage, they could no longer intervene.

Unless they disregarded friend and foe alike and refined away this entire black lake, in which case both Li Li Lingjing and Shen Shen Jinxiao would perish here.

"Jiang Qinge-Zhong Jie, are you alright?" Li Luo withdrew his gaze, turned toward Jiang Jiang Qinge, and asked with some concern.

He had seen earlier that Jiang Jiang Qinge had damaged her own fundamental foundation in order to help Li Li Lingjing break the seal. Although her foundation was unimaginably deep, such an act would inevitably have some impact.

"I'm fine, don't worry." The pallor that had been on Jiang Jiang Qinge's cheeks earlier was gradually fading. The restorative power granted by her light phase energy always allowed her to recover her condition quickly.

"Let's go, to destroy that Corpse Summoning Platform." Li Luo took her slender hand, gently squeezed it to soothe her, then said.

There was no longer any need to pay attention to Shen Shen Jinxiao here, because Cousin Li Lingjing would naturally handle him.

Jiang Jiang Qinge nodded. Her eyes, flowing with holy light, glanced at the black lake water shrouding the Lu Lan Mansion headquarters. She could keenly detect that an extremely sinister power had appeared within this black lake water.

That kind of power made her faintly feel somewhat uncomfortable.

When clashing with Shen Shen Jinxiao earlier, he did not possess this kind of power, so this sinister power most likely originated from Li Li Lingjing.

This cousin of his, separated by who knows how many generations of bloodline, truly exuded an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Given Jiang Jiang Qinge's own light phase configuration, she was destined to be incompatible with someone of this style, and might even more likely become a sworn enemy. Yet precisely because of Li Luo, she had chosen to lend her aid.

Then Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's figures shot through the air, passing through the Lu Lan Mansion headquarters area, heading straight for the Summoning Platform composed of countless corpses deep within Daxia City.

This scene immediately caused the morale of all the various forces to surge.

"What a pair of deadly lovers!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan, who was locked in a frantic all-out clash with the Fish Chi King, was naturally also keeping constant watch on Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's situation. When he saw that the two had actually broken free of Shen Shen Jinxiao's interception and left the Lu Lan Mansion headquarters area, he could not help but laugh and exclaim in admiration.

That Shen Shen Jinxiao had joined the Guiyi Society, and had previously used unimaginably eerie methods to forge a flawed King's Crown. At the time, Pang Pang Qianyuan had also been worried for Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge in his heart. After all, without the augmentation of the Heavenly Dragon Formation, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge facing a true King-level powerhouse would inevitably appear especially strained.

But unexpectedly, in the end, they still broke through.

This young couple was simply even more ferocious than Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan of those years.

And at this moment, Pang Pang Qianyuan noticed the Fish Chi King's attacks becoming somewhat frenzied. Vast, surging essence of malice transformed into billowing black fog rolling forth. Within the black fog, billions of black fish formed from black talismans churned, tearing apart and devouring all matter in their path.

"Fish Chi King, it seems you lot are getting anxious!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan sneered. At this moment, as Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge pressed straight toward the Summoning Platform, not only did the Fish Chi King begin its frenzied assault, but even the Corpse Wang King and the Yao Liang King also launched frenzied attacks.

Clearly, the shift in the situation had somewhat exceeded their control.

"Great Sorrow Divine Wind!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan howled toward the sky. From his nostrils spewed rolling cyan wind. The cyan wind seemed like the lamentation of all things; wherever it passed, everything was torn apart, finally colliding with the rolling black smoke.

The void cracked open with enormous fissures, like a pitch-black abyss.

Lan Lan Lingzi and Li Li Qingying also pushed with full force. The King's Crowns above their heads roared and trembled, mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into essence to meet the two Evil Kings who had now begun to go frenzied.

The entire Daxia City seemed, at this very moment, to become restless.

Yet Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, the instigators of all this, paid no heed. They charged straight toward the Summoning Platform, and along the way there were still numerous True Demons and aberrant creatures roaring and rushing to kill, but these True Demons were not worthy of making them pause.

As the two figures shot forth like lightning, wherever they passed, True Demons and aberrant creatures were slain one after another.

With their current strength and tacit cooperation, these True Demons and aberrant creatures were like weeds in their eyes.

Thus, in the short span of less than half an incense stick's time, they finally cut through countless obstructions and arrived at the depths of Daxia City. This place had once been where the Daxia Royal Palace stood, but now the palace had completely collapsed, turning into a pitch-black giant pit, and the Summoning Platform formed from the skull of a corpse emerged from within the pit.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge looked up at the void above the Summoning Platform. The space there had collapsed into a black hole, and the other end of the black hole seemed to connect to a Ghost Domain, from which surging aura of malice poured out continuously.

The Green-Faced Head and Red-Faced Head squeezed out forcibly from the spatial rift, emanating an extremely terrifying might.

And perhaps sensing Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's approach, the tightly shut eyes of those two giant heads actually slowly opened a slit at this moment. Within those pupils flowed a terrifying pressure.

Under such pressure, even a peak Nine-Tier Marquis would feel fear in their heart and find it hard to maintain composure.

But Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's response to it was to suddenly raise their hands and fling out countless streams of crystalline light, which transformed into light mirrors suspended in the sky.

Finally, accompanied by the refraction of the crystalline light, a sacred great sun of crystal hung suspended in the sky.

That was... the Light Divine Crystal Demon-Slaying Formation!

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge joined forces to activate it. The great sun of divine crystal suddenly projected down beams of light filled with purifying power, which landed upon that Corpse Summoning Platform.

Sizzle sizzle!

As this purifying light beam descended, the countless corpses on the Summoning Platform immediately began to rapidly melt, and the surging aura of malice permeating it also began to dissipate.

When this scene fell into the eyes of the various powerhouses of Daxia, it immediately caused expressions of wild joy and excitement to appear on their faces.

As long as this Summoning Platform was destroyed, then that terrifying Eight-Headed Black Demon King would be unable to descend, and this Calamity that had ravaged the land of Daxia for several years would finally come to an end.

"Is everything going to end?!" They were so excited their eyes had turned red.

Amidst those countless excited and thrilled cheers, a trace of tension also appeared in Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's expressions. Could they smoothly destroy this Summoning Platform?

And just as the two pushed their phase energy with full force, holding their breath and focusing, the Green-Faced Head and Red-Faced Head in the spatial rift above clearly detected the fading of the Summoning Platform's power. Immediately, those tightly shut demonic eyes were stimulated at this moment, and the eyelids, like curtains, slowly opened.

The two ghost heads finally opened their eyes. Those dark pupils, as if connected to the Nine Hells, carried endless malice as they gazed upon Daxia City.

In that instant, everyone felt a sense of fear rising from the depths of their hearts.

That was the gaze of the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, transmitted through the two ghost heads, truly cast upon this mortal land.

In the distant void, the three Evil Kings—Fish Chi King, Corpse Wang King, and Yao Liang King—trembled violently all over. They paid no heed to their clash with Pang Pang Qianyuan's trio, their figures suddenly transforming into black light and retreating, finally kneeling thunderously in the void.

"We pay respects to our King!" The three Evil Kings bowed in reverence, their trembling voices echoing across the sky above Daxia City.

This scene caused the faces of many Daxia powerhouses to turn pale with terror. The three Evil Kings were already an existence difficult to contend with in their eyes, yet this so-called Eight-Headed Black Demon King, whose true body had not even descended, merely cast a single gaze, and it caused them to be so fearful and reverent. Such oppressive force was simply despairing.

Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying also gazed solemnly at the two ghost heads that had opened their demonic eyes. They knew this was the Eight-Headed Black Demon King detecting that the Summoning Platform was being destroyed, forcibly projecting a sliver of its will down.

However, this also indicated that the Summoning Platform still lacked some final touches, which was relatively good news for them.

The three fixed their gaze vigilantly upon the three Evil Kings, guarding against them attacking Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

"Four Evil Kings, you have disappointed this Sovereign greatly."

And at this moment, the demonic eyes of the two ghost heads flowed with chaos and the emotion of slaughter as they gazed upon the three Evil Kings. A hollow, deep voice resounded across heaven and earth.

The Fish Chi King trembled all over. Those grayish-white fish pupils that had once cast a psychological shadow over many Daxia powerhouses now showed unease. In a trembling voice, he replied: "My King, the Summoning Platform is just a little short, and it will be able to summon your descent."

"You have no time left." The hollow voice of the Eight-Headed Black Demon King rang out.

"My grand scheme cannot afford a single failure. Since the Welcoming Platform still lacks the final touch of refinement, then you shall be the ones to make up for it."
