Chapter 1622: The Unparalleled Tribulation

"Five Dragon Guards, form the formation!"

Shortly after Li Luo's thunderous roar fell, the "Dragon Bone Holy Cup" in his hand suddenly erupted with a booming vibration; the next moment, immense and vast power poured out like a torrent.

Roar!

Within that vast power, a sky-shaking dragon cry echoed.

The Five Dragon Treasures on Li Luo's body trembled violently and boomed, streams of divine light splashed forth, simultaneously drawing in the vast power whistling from the Dragon Bone Holy Cup, all of it reinforcing his body.

The power of the Five Dragon Array descended once more!

Li Luo held the Azure-Black Dragon Spear in one hand and the Golden Hammer in the other; the purple-gold "Sacred Image Crystal Core" between his brows bloomed with awe-inspiring mysterious light like a divine vertical eye, while the surging, rolling dragon pressure of the Five Dragons swept across the sky and earth, causing the void to tremble violently.

At this very moment, Li Luo once again possessed the power of the King Realm.

Feeling the surging, boundless power within his body, joy surged in his eyes; this method that had suddenly flashed through his mind had actually succeeded.

Originally, the Five Dragon Guards could not maintain the Five Dragon Array due to the corrosive sound constantly emitted by the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, but Li Luo, borrowing the self-contained space within the "Dragon Bone Holy Cup," had drawn the Five Dragon Guards into it; thus, the demonic sound's corrosion could naturally no longer interfere.

With this, their side once again possessed the combat power of four One-Crown Kings; if the four joined forces, even if they still could not defeat the current Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King, they should be able to buy some time for Jiang Jiang Qinge, right?

Once Jiang Jiang Qinge successfully ascends to the Unparalleled Marquis at that time, the current disadvantage should see some turning point.

With this thought, Li Luo glanced at Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was wrapped in the massive Sacred Lotus, and let out a long whistle: "We attack together!"

The whistling sound rolled; he launched the offensive first, clashing the Azure-Black Spear with the Golden Bone Hammer in his hands; the boom was like a giant thunderclap, or like an angry dragon's roar; a huge purple-gold divine energy broke through the air, resembling a divine dragon baring its claws and fangs, carrying destructive fluctuations, and smashed toward the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King.

Five Dragon King-Slaying Giant Divine Energy!

"A mere ant dares to shake the heavens?"

Facing Li Luo's attack, the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King emitted a indifferent voice; one ghost head turned, and from its abyss-like mouth, rolling blood sand was spat out; the blood sand, like a crimson demonic python, carrying endless killing intent, collided with that domineering purple-gold divine energy.

Boom!

The void above Great Xia shattered completely; cracks spanning a thousand li of space spread out, resembling abyssal giant mouths splitting from the horizon, terrifying beyond measure.

While Li Luo launched his offensive, Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying, the three of them, also without hesitation, activated their strongest offensive means.

One saw that atop Pang Pang Qianyuan's head, the King's Crown erupted with hundreds of millions of green lights; boundless origin essence fell down, and in the void ahead, it transformed into a green giant elephant with no end in sight.

That was one of Pang Pang Qianyuan's Image Forms.

Green Elephant Image!

At this moment, the green giant elephant let out a sky-roaring cry; its massive body began to shrink rapidly; in just a few breaths, it actually transformed into a green giant blade nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang long.

Upon the giant blade, boundless divine winds coiled; a sharp, extremely violent blade intent raged and filled the world between heaven and earth.

Within the King's Crown atop Lan Lan Lingzi's head, a green giant vine reaching heaven and earth swayed and grew; countless vines hung down like green pythons, finally condensing into a green vine hand seal capable of covering the entire Great Xia City.

Upon the hand seal, countless origin patterns were inscribed.

Li Li Qingying formed hand seals with both hands; within the King's Crown above her, hundreds of millions of dragon scales fell, resembling a surging rain of scales; as these dragon scales scattered across the sky, they rapidly formed a massive Dragon Scale Strange Array.

Dragon scales merged and condensed with one another; the next moment, millions of gorgeous, sharp dragon scale swords took shape one by one.

As soon as the three King Realm experts' offensive formed, they activated it without hesitation.

Great Elephant Divine Blade!

Divine Vine Life-Birth Great Hand Seal!

Dragon Scale Ten Thousand Swords Array!

In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to boom and vibrate; within Great Xia City, many experts were dazzled and bewildered; several King Realm experts fully activating offensive arts—this spectacular scene was something many Great Xia experts had never seen in their entire lives.

The terrifying offensive roared forward; the five ghost heads of the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King, each of a different color, simultaneously opened their abyssal giant mouths; the next moment, all five mouths spat out at once.

Five energies gushed forth, presenting the colors black, white, blood-red, green, and gray.

In an instant, heaven and earth grew dark; boundless vast evil thought origin essence surged; wherever it passed, it seemed as if countless alien beings were born out of thin air.

Boom!

The five energies collided with the offensive of Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying; the energy of heaven and earth was annihilated in this collision; for a moment, the energy of heaven and earth within Great Xia City seemed to be drained for several breaths; many Marquis Realm experts felt their Marquis Platforms wither to the extreme, unable to establish contact with the energy of heaven and earth.

This made them utterly horrified; even the energy of heaven and earth in Great Xia City was drained dry... what a terrifying duel.

The five evil energies surged like a vast sea; no matter how hard Pang Pang Qianyuan and the other two struggled, they could not break through the constraints of the five energies; instead, as the five energies corroded, the offensive of the three rapidly dimmed.

The Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King, although its strength had not reached the terrifying level of its peak period, was absolutely a standout among the Two-Crown Kings; with such strength, even though Li Luo and the others had a numerical advantage, they were all completely suppressed.

Buzz!

Just as the offensive of Pang Pang Qianyuan and the other two was collapsing step by step, a sword cry like a dragon suddenly echoed through heaven and earth; one saw a ancient sword array rapidly forming in the void above.

Six Dragon Tooth Swords, emitting boundless sharpness, formed within it.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Li Luo naturally dared not use ordinary means; from the very first move, it was a killing technique.

All-Image Dragon Tooth Sword Array!

Six Dragon Teeth! King-Burying Song!

Boundless returning-annihilation sword lights collided and merged.

Mysterious and destructive sword cries, wrapped together with dragon cries, formed a killing song capable of burying and slaying Kings.

As Li Luo's all-out killing technique surged forward, the previously unstoppable five evil qi finally halted; the evil qi collided and fought with the destructive sound waves.

At the point of collision, a vacuum zone spanning ten thousand li had already formed; even the energy of heaven and earth was ground down into the most primitive energy particles.

"Oh? An Unpaired Art? You do have some skill."

With the five evil qi blocked, the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King also emitted a sound of surprise; it had not expected that its strike would be held back by a young man who had forcibly reached the King Realm by borrowing external power.

Boom!

Just as Li Luo and his side were holding back the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King with all their might, at Jiang Jiang Qinge's location, that sacred light lotus erupted with brilliant light; endless light bloomed, as if a holy sun cleansing the world was slowly rising.

Holy light splashed across the sky; even the evil thought origin essence filling heaven and earth was purified to a great extent.

The light energy of heaven and earth came whistling in endlessly, finally gathering entirely above where Jiang Jiang Qinge was; vaguely, it transformed into continuous, endless sacred palaces.

Just like the temple of the God of Light.

The vast light origin essence gathered, accompanied by booming sounds; it actually formed Light Divine Thunder, resembling a thunder tribulation, sweeping across the sky and earth to strike down upon that sacred lotus where Jiang Jiang Qinge was.

"This is... the Unparalleled Tribulation? It has arrived so quickly!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying all cast looks of astonishment.

It is said that to forge an Unparalleled Marquis, the final step is to draw upon the energy source, forming an extremely domineering and terrifying tribulation force; only by enduring the hammering of this Unparalleled Tribulation can one forge the Unparalleled Divine Seat and step into the realm of Unparalleled Marquis.

However, the brewing of the Unparalleled Tribulation depends entirely on one's own foundation; if it cannot be summoned for a long time, one must brew it slowly. Yet, Jiang Jiang Qinge has only just begun her breakthrough for less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and the "Unparalleled Tribulation" has already appeared directly. Such a foundation is simply terrifying.

Even the eyes of the Black Demon King in its five-headed form, each burning with black flames, narrowed slightly at this moment, and a low voice rose: "An Unparalleled Prodigy with such a foundation is truly rare."

"You had better not step into the realm of Unparalleled Marquis!"

The five-headed Black Demon King sneered lowly; Jiang Jiang Qinge attempting to complete her breakthrough under its very nose was treating it far too lightly. In that case, under no circumstances could it allow the birth of this new Unparalleled Marquis.

From the five abyss-like giant mouths of the five-headed Black Demon King, five waves of evil qi, growing ever more dense, erupted. It emitted a whisper like demonic music; in the next moment, the five rolling waves of evil qi merged, transforming into a beam of five-colored light.

This five-colored light was utterly sinister; wherever it passed, everything fell into dead silence.

Boom!

The five-colored evil light first swept toward the Burial King's Melody. Where the evil light passed, the mysterious sound waves filled with domineering and sharp energy were abruptly cut off like guitar strings suddenly severed, coming to a sudden halt.

The Burial King's Melody was fading.

"Li Luo, be careful! That is the Eight-Headed Black Demon King's signature killing move, the Eight-Headed Evil Light. If flesh and blood are touched, one's own source will scatter and be annihilated!" Seeing this beam of five-colored evil light, Pang Pang Qianyuan's face instantly changed drastically, and fear rose in his eyes as he shouted.

Hearing this, Li Luo's heart also trembled slightly. The Eight-Headed Evil Light at its peak should be formed by the condensation of eight beams of evil light. However, since this Black Demon King had only descended in a five-headed form, its power was somewhat weakened. Even so, for them, it remained an extremely terrifying killing move.

Under this five-colored evil light, even the Array of Dragon Fangs of the Many Phases was affected, and the trajectory of the sword array showed signs of damage.

However, just as Li Luo stood ready, the five-headed Black Demon King suddenly sneered. The five-colored evil light suddenly turned, slicing across the sky, and with unimaginable speed, swept directly toward Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was in the midst of her breakthrough.

Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying all had their faces change drastically. They hurriedly urged their attacks to intercept, but the five-colored evil light was too fast. Before their attacks could be launched, the evil light had already arrived before the Sacred Light Lotus.

The five-colored evil light crashed down fiercely.

However, just as the five-colored evil light was about to strike the Sacred Light Lotus, a purple-gold dragon scale filled with endless majesty suddenly rose slowly from within the Sacred Lotus. Faintly emanating from it was a terrifying pressure that made even King Realm experts feel their hearts skip a beat.

Boom!

The five-colored evil light struck the purple-gold dragon scale, but the latter remained motionless. Instead, the purple-gold radiance flowing upon it shattered the majority of the five-colored evil light.

The face of the five-headed Black Demon King changed drastically, and a low, angry voice rose in response.

"Ancestral Dragon Scale?!"
