Chapter 1624: Forcibly Breaking Through the Realm

Boom!

Above Li Luo's head, six ten-pillar golden platforms erupted with earth-shattering energy fluctuations, and unlike Jiang Jiang Qinge's pure light phase force, his side displayed fluctuations of a total of eight different phase attributes.

The world's energies, drawn by this, actually formed a huge, multicolored energy vortex, within which could be seen an ocean, sacred light, an ancient tree, brown earth, a giant dragon, lightning, a crystal mountain, and cold qi.

Seen from afar, it was as if a small world were taking shape within it—mysterious and magnificent.

The Peerless Tribulation also surged forth accordingly, with eight origin forces flowing within the energy vortex, though the disparity in strength between these origin forces was extremely obvious, naturally caused by the primary and secondary phase attributes.

Golden light shot up from Li Luo's crown, reflecting a mysterious, ancient golden wheel in the void. The golden wheel slowly rotated, causing the eight origin forces within the energy vortex to constantly stream down.

And after the golden wheel absorbed these eight origin forces, the obscure and mysterious golden patterns upon it gradually became brighter.

The Peerless Tribulation Li Luo had suddenly triggered not only shocked Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others, but even the black flames furiously burning atop the Black Demon King's head showed a brief stagnation.

Another Peerless Tribulation?!

Since when have Peerless Chosen of the ten Outer Shenzhou become so common?!

But the Black Demon King was, after all, no ordinary Other-King; it was an existence qualified to advance into a Great Demon King. So when it saw that mysterious, ancient golden wheel above Li Luo's head, after a few breaths of thought, it identified it from the depths of its memory.

"Wanxiang Wheel? This person actually possesses a Wanxiang Seed?!"

The Black Demon King was utterly astonished. It had never imagined that in this barren Outer Shenzhou, it would not only see an Origin Seed, but also this Wanxiang Seed passed down from the ancient Faceless Holy Sect.

The fame of this Wanxiang Seed in the Dark World was, in a certain sense, no less than that of an Origin Seed. After all, looking through the history of the Dark World, only the last sect master of the Faceless Holy Sect had ever fought his way into the depths of the Dark World's source.

And that sect master was a Wanxiang Seed.

Of course, the Wanxiang Seed was not unique within the Faceless Holy Sect; any candidate for sect master possessed this qualification. However, among all those who could bring the Wanxiang Seed to the level of that legendary sect master, looking through the entire history of the Faceless Holy Sect, there was only this one person.

The Black Demon King's heart was shocked and angry. Although it also did not believe any other Wanxiang Seed could reach the level of that legendary sect master, if Li Luo truly completed his breakthrough here and advanced to Peerless Marquis, then with the augmentation of the Sky Dragon Formation, he would truly be qualified to pose it no small threat.

Therefore, this kid's threat was no less than Jiang Jiang Qinge's.

At this thought, the Black Demon King no longer hesitated. The "Evil Register Ashes" sweeping across the sky immediately split off a portion, sweeping toward the Peerless Tribulation forming above Li Luo's head.

As the "Evil Register Ashes" surged over, the multicolored Peerless Tribulation above Li Luo's head immediately began to be affected. The numerous origin forces brewing within, while resisting the erosion, began to be rapidly weakened.

But Li Luo was quite calm about this. After all, his Peerless Tribulation was originally just a showpiece, used to draw the Black Demon King's attention and thereby share the pressure on Jiang Jiang Qinge's side.

After all, he did not have a Wanxiang Golden Core, so it was simply impossible for him to forge the seventh ten-pillar golden platform.

Li Luo's gaze turned toward Jiang Jiang Qinge's side. With the Black Demon King splitting the "Evil Register Ashes," the pressure on the Peerless Tribulation above her head immediately lessened considerably, and the light origin within it was gradually strengthening.

"Hope it can keep up the act a while longer."

Li Luo sighed inwardly. Although his own Peerless Tribulation was taking shape, given the Black Demon King's strength, it would sooner or later see through his outwardly strong but inwardly hollow problem. After all, that step of forging the seventh ten-pillar golden platform—he had been unable to achieve it for a long time—and when the time came, the Black Demon King would naturally understand that he simply could not break through to Peerless Marquis.

When that moment came, the Black Demon King, knowing it had been deceived, would surely pour out all its power to interrupt Jiang Jiang Qinge's advancement.

Thinking this, Li Luo raised his head, looked at the Peerless Tribulation—vast and majestic in momentum—above him, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wanxiang Golden Core—where in the world is this thing?!

Without it, his path of Peerlessness could hardly advance a single further step.

South Wind City.

Bai Bai Mengmeng, with hollow eyes, slowly walked out of the Spirit Water Wonder Light crafting room. At this time, the old House Luolan Mansion residence was in utter chaos, with cries of terror and despair echoing out.

Mounds of greenish-gray graves stood everywhere.

Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing arrived with pale, pretty faces. Seeing Bai Bai Mengmeng, they hurriedly said: "Bai Mengmeng, quickly hide in the secret room, don't come into contact with those ashes falling from the sky!"

But to their words, Bai Bai Mengmeng at this time seemed not to have heard, simply staring with wide, hollow, vacant eyes at the northern horizon.

Cai Wei was actually not unfamiliar with Bai Bai Mengmeng's state. After all, over these years she had also known that in this peculiar state, Bai Bai Mengmeng had an extraordinary effect on the research of Spirit Water Wonder Light. However, what puzzled her was that in the past, when in this state, Bai Bai Mengmeng almost never left the crafting room.

She wanted to reach out and pull Bai Bai Mengmeng away, but the latter did not budge in the slightest. In the end, Cai Wei could only stamp her foot helplessly.

"What is she saying?" Yan Yan Lingqing suddenly said. She saw that Bai Bai Mengmeng's lips seemed to be moving slightly.

Cai Wei also bent down, bringing her ear close to Bai Bai Mengmeng's little mouth, and then faintly heard some strange, vacant sounds coming through.

"Golden Core... why would it be there..."

"But..."

"Sect Master's divine edict..."

"The Golden Core cannot be formed."

Great Xia City. Greenish-gray ashes drifted down endlessly. On the ground, grave mounds grew more and more numerous, and as these grave mounds continuously devoured vitality, the ashes grew ever thicker, blotting out the sky.

Within the world of ashes, a deathly stillness pervaded.

Only the protective circle formed by Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others with their King Crowns remained the last pure land.

But they could only struggle to hold on. Their gazes were all cast toward the vast, surging Peerless Tribulations above Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge. The current situation could perhaps only be shaken if one of them completed their breakthrough and achieved Peerless Marquis.

However, as time passed, Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others gradually sensed something was wrong, because on Li Luo's side, although the Peerless Tribulation had been brewing all along, there was never any sign of the seventh ten-pillar golden platform being forged.

Whereas on Jiang Jiang Qinge's side, the seventh ten-pillar golden platform had already begun to take shape.

"Kid, you're deceiving this sovereign!"

Just at this moment, the Black Demon King's gloomy voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

Li Luo's eyelid twitched slightly, but he did not reply.

"Although I don't know what your problem is, you simply cannot forge the seventh ten-pillar golden platform. I almost got fooled by you!" the Black Demon King said with a cold laugh.

"You wanted to share the pressure of her advancement, didn't you? Then you truly underestimate this sovereign."

"This sovereign has said it: today, none of you shall advance into Peerless Marquis!"

The Black Demon King's five Ghost-Face Beasts burned with raging black flames. Under the fierce burning of the flames, those five heads had already become furnaces; the flesh and brains within were burned away one after another, and vast malevolent-origin force roared within.

Strange, eerie incantation sounds rang out once again.

It was seen that the "Evil Register Ashes," which had been continuously eroding the Peerless Tribulation above Li Luo's head, all withdrew, and finally condensed between heaven and earth into a greenish-gray fruit.

That fruit emitted an endless rotting aura. Seen from afar, it looked like a rotten, broken fruit, and when that rotting, malevolent aura spread out, everyone present felt as if their own origin was withering.

"Watch helplessly as your hope shatters."

The Black Demon King laughed coldly and darkly. That rotten fruit of malevolence immediately crashed into the Peerless Tribulation above Jiang Jiang Qinge's head. Immediately, the greenish-black rotting qi spread, and the temples of light within the Peerless Tribulation directly began to collapse and scatter at this moment.

Under the Black Demon King's targeted assault, Jiang Jiang Qinge's Peerless Calamity suffered a heavy setback.

Pfft!

A mouthful of deep red blood sprayed from Jiang Jiang Qinge's lips; those vivid red lips appeared even more glaring at this moment. She clenched her teeth tightly, and in her brilliant golden eyes, sacred flames burned, ignited by the anger in her heart.

She was furious that she had wasted the time Li Luo had fought with all his might to secure for her.

Clearly, she had already felt that the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Platform was about to form, and the Peerless Marquis was now within reach.

Yet, at the most critical moment, the Black Demon King had still destroyed it!

"You damn thing!"

Seeing Jiang Jiang Qinge injured and vomiting blood, Li Luo's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He stared at the Black Demon King with overwhelming murderous intent, but he understood that with his current strength, he could do nothing to the opponent.

"Bullshit about the Ten Thousand Phases Seed! I don't believe that without a Ten Thousand Phases Golden Core, one cannot break through to Peerless Marquis!"

With bloodshot eyes, Li Luo gazed at the surging Peerless Calamity above his head, a ruthless expression flashing across his gaze. The current situation had entered a desperate deadlock; if there were no breakthrough point, Jiang Jiang Qinge would soon face the Black Demon King's killing arts.

And the only breakthrough point was the Peerless Marquis!

With this thought, Li Luo instantly drove the six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms to their limit. The Ten Thousand Phases Wheel slowly began to turn, emitting a deafening roar.

From within the Ten Thousand Phases Wheel, vast Phase Power flowed out, finally converging at the central position of the six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms.

He intended to forcibly break through the realm!
