Chapter 1625: Perfecting the Myriad Phase Wheel

Boom!

A mysterious and ancient golden wheel slowly rotated, emitting a strange rumbling, as vast and majestic phase force poured out in an endless stream, flowing through six ten-pillar golden platforms, finally condensing into droplets of multicolored liquid.

Each of these droplets emitted a different attribute's phase fluctuation; at a rough glance, there were eight kinds in total, clearly distinct from one another yet able to merge perfectly, as if forming a small world of their own.

This was transformed from Li Luo's own eight-phase foundation.

More and more phase force liquid gathered together, forming a thousand-zhang massive energy lake. The lake water raised huge waves, as if constantly writhing, and faintly, the embryonic outline of a Marquis Platform could be seen gradually appearing within.

But this outline was far too crude, and it could never truly take shape.

Li Luo's expression was cold and stern. He had now pushed the phase force within his body to the extreme, attempting to forcibly forge the seventh ten-pillar golden platform, but he quickly felt the difficulty involved. Without the assistance of the special main material, the Myriad Phase Golden Core, the difficulty of forging the seventh ten-pillar golden platform was even more arduous than he had imagined.

Even the embryonic form of the Marquis Platform was hard to condense.

And Li Luo's commotion here also fell into the eyes of the Black Demon King. It was first stunned, then it noticed that Li Luo's seventh ten-pillar golden platform could never take shape, and immediately seemed to think of something, letting out a sinister low laugh: "So that's how it is..."

"Your Myriad Phase Seed is missing the Myriad Phase Golden Core!"

The Eight-Headed Black Demon King was also a being close to the top tier in the Dark World. With just one more step, it would ascend into the ranks of the Great Demon Kings, the highest point of the entire Dark World, so it likewise knew some of the secrets that had vanished in the river of time.

Among these were the Myriad Phase Seed and the Myriad Phase Golden Core.

And from the looks of it now, it was precisely because Li Luo lacked the Myriad Phase Golden Core that he could not forge the seventh ten-pillar golden platform and step into the Unparalleled Marquis realm.

At this thought, the Black Demon King no longer paid attention to Li Luo's desperate struggle there, but concentrated its strength, continuing to apply pressure on the already-collapsing Unparalleled Tribulation on Jiang Qing'e's side, attempting to completely sever her path of ascending to the Unparalleled Marquis this time.

Li Luo's eyes were bloodshot. His attempt to forge the seventh ten-pillar golden platform had indeed encountered tremendous difficulty. Clearly, the path he wanted to take—bypassing the Myriad Phase Golden Core and forcibly breaking through—was far too arduous.

After all, no matter what, this was the most perfected path deduced by generations of Heavenly Kings of the Faceless Holy Sect.

But even so, Li Luo still refused to give up.

"So what if it's difficult? Back then I had an empty phase, and I could still step by step reach where I am today. Now with eight phases on me, with my foundation, I refuse to believe I can't carve out a path!"

Li Luo let out a roar in his heart. He saw at the four corners of the Myriad Phase Wheel, four Phase Palaces emerge, erupting with deafening rumbling sounds.

Upper Nine-Rank, Heavenly Dragon Phase!

Middle Nine-Rank, Crystal Ice Phase!

Lower Nine-Rank, Water Light Phase!

Lower Nine-Rank, Wood Earth Phase!

The four Phase Palaces were pushed to the extreme by Li Luo at this moment. Countless phase force rays of light extended out, wandering within the Myriad Phase Wheel, reflecting countless ancient, mysterious light patterns that had previously been hidden and invisible.

And in Li Luo's heart, a kind of inexplicable enlightenment also rose.

It turned out the Myriad Phase Wheel was not complete, and the function of the Myriad Phase Golden Core was to assist oneself in completely perfecting the Myriad Phase Wheel when forging the seventh ten-pillar golden platform, so that only then could that crucial step be taken.

"I carry four palaces and eight phases, and all have entered Nine-Rank. Such a configuration is absolutely not weaker than anyone's. I don't have the Myriad Phase Golden Core to help me perfect the Myriad Phase Wheel, then I'll rely on my own foundation and potential to forcibly perfect it!"

The Holy Phase Crystal Core between Li Luo's brows became exceptionally bright at this moment. Within it, a shadow of a Heavenly Dragon seemed to appear, letting out a deafening dragon cry. At the same time, on the surface of the crystal core, an ancient crystal pattern spread out.

That was the Ancient Tracing Phase Pattern derived from the Middle Nine-Rank Crystal Ice Phase!

There were also the Lower Nine-Rank Water Light Phase and Wood Earth Phase. The spirit servant phantoms they transformed into compressed into star-like marks, branded into that Holy Phase Crystal Core.

At this moment, Li Luo felt his state suddenly surge to an unprecedented peak.

He even felt that the eight phase attributes within him seemed to be burning and boiling up at this moment.

In Li Luo's perception at this moment, heaven and earth were all silent; only the mysterious and unfathomable Myriad Phase Wheel was reflected in his eyes, slowly rotating.

The light of the eight phases flowed and moved within the Myriad Phase Wheel, and the Myriad Phase Wheel, following the wandering of the light traces, became increasingly majestic, vast, and perfect.

Countless mysterious golden patterns emerged like heavenly scriptures. Each trace contained the deductions of generations of Heavenly King powerhouses of the Faceless Holy Sect who had devoted their entire life's effort.

Obscure, profound, ancient.

"Still not enough!"

Li Luo gazed at the Myriad Phase Wheel that was constantly becoming complete, but the speed of that perfection was still not enough. After all, his current extreme state was produced by stimulating his own potential and burning the eight phase attributes. If dragged on too long, not only would this state fade, but it would also cause severe damage to the grade of his own phase attributes.

Li Luo's gaze flickered, and then his gaze turned to the "Origin Core" left behind by the Fox Charm King. This object was within the golden cauldron at the center of the Myriad Phase Wheel, being continuously calcined by the Great Faceless Fire.

Within this object was contained vast and majestic origin power, except this origin was the origin of evil thoughts, filled with pollution and corrosiveness.

However, although it was dangerous, if the origin within it was completely triggered, it could indeed bring tremendous assistance to Li Luo at this moment.

At this thought, Li Luo took a deep breath and, without the slightest hesitation, pushed the Great Faceless Fire to the extreme, directly completely igniting the "Origin Core."

The "Origin Core" was ignited, and immediately a piercing fox howl came from within. The howl contained polluting power, attempting to affect Li Luo's mind, but his expression was cold and indifferent, unmoved.

After being refined and scorched day and night by the Great Faceless Fire during this period of time, this "Origin Core" from the Fox Charm King was no longer as ferocious as at the beginning.

Boom!

The Origin Core suddenly cracked open, and immediately the surging origin power like rivers and seas rolled out. Li Luo used the Great Faceless Fire to bind and guide it, directly pouring it into the Myriad Phase Wheel.

Stimulated by such vast origin power, Li Luo immediately felt boundless assistance. He saw that on the mysterious Myriad Phase Wheel, ancient patterns continuously emerged, making it increasingly complete.

But at the same time, Li Luo also detected billions of eerie whispers and murmurs sounding in his heart, causing his mind to become faintly blurred.

Even within the Myriad Phase Wheel, there were viscous, twisted black shadows crawling everywhere, attempting to pollute it.

That was the evil-thought origin hidden within the Origin Core, beginning to cause trouble.

Li Luo's heart was calm and composed, not panicked by it. With a thought, he saw that from the Dragon Lightning Phase Palace at one corner of the Myriad Phase Wheel, an earth-shattering Heavenly Dragon cry erupted. Purple-golden flowing light poured out, and a purple-golden Heavenly Dragon drilled out from the Phase Palace.

The purple-golden Heavenly Dragon stepped on thunder, while the phase attributes within the other three Phase Palaces also moved accordingly. The Water Light phase attribute transformed into a bright, dazzling river, winding around the purple-golden Heavenly Dragon's body like a flowing silk ribbon. The Wood Earth phase attribute turned into blue-brown phase patterns on its dragon scales. The Crystal Ice phase attribute condensed within the Heavenly Dragon's pupils, making them dazzling as stars.

Roar!

The Heavenly Dragon roared, and a vast dragon breath spewed out, washing over the entire Myriad Phase Wheel.

That mouthful of dragon breath was transformed from Li Luo's own foundation and potential. Where the dragon breath passed, the evil-thought origin scattered in all directions. At the same time, on the Myriad Phase Wheel, countless ancient golden patterns were also washed out by the dragon breath.

Dong!

In that instant, it seemed as if a strange, mystical sound violently echoed within the Myriad Phase Wheel.

Above Li Luo's head, the energy lake raised huge waves. He saw that the seventh Marquis Platform, which had long failed to take shape within it, actually condensed into form with a tremendous crash at this moment.

Although this Marquis Platform was still somewhat blurry, it was truly forcibly forged into shape by Li Luo.

The Black Demon King noticed this sudden change, and its eyes immediately showed shock. This kid, in the absence of the Myriad Phase Golden Core, had actually forcibly forged the embryonic form of the seventh Marquis Platform?

At the same time, in the old mansion of House Luolan Prefecture.

In Bai Bai Mengmeng's vacant pupils, a rare look of astonishment surfaced as she murmured, "To forcibly rely on one's own foundation and potential to complete the last step of the Myriad Forms Wheel by ninety percent... this person is truly reckless."

"However, reaching this step is already the limit. Without the Myriad Forms Golden Core, the final ten percent can never be filled in. Forcibly forging a Marquis Platform at this moment will only prevent the Myriad Forms Seed from reaching perfection, and this flaw will leave hidden dangers in the future."

And just as she was muttering to herself in an extremely faint, indistinct voice, a sudden ripple surged within her vacant gaze.

Immediately after, a familiar and worried voice emerged from her lips.

"Please, help the captain!"
