Chapter 1629: Li Luo, the Peerless Marquis!

The peerless divine throne, towering like a mountain, stood in the void, with billions of dark lights swirling around it; upon the throne, an ancient sword array operated while a nine-dragon golden seal rose and sank, emitting a terrifying aura.

Those old acquaintances from Great Xia, such as the Princess, Vice Dean Su Xin, Instructor Xi Chan, and others, were now in a dazed state, gazing at Li Luo who stood beneath the peerless divine throne, radiating a shocking divine might.

The Princess recalled the first time she met Li Luo back then; the latter was merely a freshman who had just entered the Saint Profound Star Academy, and at that time, her friendship with Li Luo was actually a case of the drunkard having other intentions in mind; her greater purpose was to use Li Luo as a stepping stone to meet Jiang Jiang Qinge and build a good relationship.

At that time, Jiang Jiang Qinge's brilliance was too dazzling, and under this light, Li Luo appeared exceptionally dim; yet it was also Jiang Jiang Qinge's unrestrained display of brilliance that, when the Luo Lan Manor was in turmoil, attracted many malicious covetous glances toward Li Luo.

Later, Li Luo gradually emerged in the Saint Profound Star Academy, revealing his own excellence.

However, even when Li Luo represented the Saint Profound Star Academy to win the Saint Cup War championship, perhaps no one could have imagined that one day, this young man who was once an Empty Phase would become a Peerless Marquis renowned throughout the world.

Moreover, he had stepped into the Peerless realm before Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Such an achievement was enough to make countless geniuses in this world fade into insignificance.

Deep within the Princess's heart, a sense of relief rose once more at this moment; fortunately, back when she was in the academy, in order to befriend Jiang Jiang Qinge, she had established a good relationship with Li Luo.

So sometimes, no matter how deep one's scheming, it cannot compare to an accidental thought.

"Xi Chan, your judgment is still excellent," Vice Dean Su Xin said with a face full of sighs, speaking to Xi Chan.

Looking over the entire Saint Profound Star Academy, if one were to ask who truly owed Li Luo a debt of gratitude, then it must be Xi Chan, for only she, when Li Luo needed support the most back then, helped him without holding anything back.

Whether it was standing up during the Master Selection Competition to block the malicious targeting from Shen Shen Jinxiao on Li Luo's behalf, or later, during the Luo Lan Manor's ancestral sacrifice, when she resolutely resigned her position as an academy instructor and chose to go alone to the Lanling Manor to intercept the Lanling Marquis who had accepted the mission to deal with the Luo Lan Manor.

These were truly the most precious debts of gratitude.

Vice Dean Su Xin even felt that if Li Luo held such feelings for the Saint Profound Star Academy today, Xi Chan likely accounted for a very heavy factor in that.

Xi Chan's beautiful eyes, clear as autumn water, gazed softly at the figure in the sky that seemed too imposing to look directly at; she too felt gratified and happy for the achievements Li Luo had achieved now.

"I also didn't expect that small boy from the Master Selection Competition back then would have reached this step," Xi Chan also couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile, while blinking her long eyelashes, and with rare playfulness, let out a light laugh: "With my resume, I should be considered the gold-medal instructor of the Saint Profound Star Academy, right?"

Vice Dean Su Xin laughed in a slightly annoyed manner: "You could almost be enshrined."

Because Li Luo's divine might now covered the heavens, their previously heavy moods had inexplicably become a bit lighter; after all, no matter what, with Li Luo successfully advancing to Peerless Marquis, the situation had certainly improved significantly.

At the same time, on a street in Great Xia City, Seeing Yu Lang, covered in blood and looking somewhat exhausted, ordered the Demon-Hunting Team behind him to rest on the spot, while he stood with his sword planted, looking up at that familiar figure.

"This guy takes such huge steps, isn't he afraid of straining his balls?"

Seeing Yu Lang muttered with a sour tone, then he smiled, raised the blood-streaked blade in his hand, and sighed: "Brother, the wind is strong at the summit; walk steadily."

Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes within Great Xia City, Li Luo stood beneath the peerless divine throne with his eyebrows lowered, while the pressure emanating from his body had already gradually surpassed Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying.

Boom!

And at the moment Li Luo forged the seventh Ten-Pillar Golden Platform and achieved Peerless Marquis, the Myriad Phases Wheel also emitted a vast roaring sound; eight kinds of primal forces were seen descending, finally converging into the golden fire cauldron at the center of the Myriad Phases Wheel.

The Great Formless Fire burned fiercely, appearing more active than ever before.

The eight kinds of primal forces transformed into rivers, seas, lakes, and marshes; light bloomed within the waters, ancient trees took root in boundless brown earth, thunder clouds roared, sky dragons bellowed, and crystal light and cold air circulated simultaneously, forming ranges of ice-crystal cold mountains.

These primal forces appeared more vigorous than when Li Luo received the support of the Sky Dragon Array.

Moreover, this primal force originated from Li Luo himself, not from external objects.

The eight primal forces condensed, and finally, under the fierce burning of the Great Formless Fire, formed an energy core.

That energy core was extremely mysterious; the eight primal forces intertwined, evolving a small world within it.

Li Luo gazed at this energy core, feeling something in his heart.

Primal Core.

This is the core of a King Realm expert, evolved from the purity of phase power within the body reaching its extreme; it is also the source from which primal forces are born; originally, after advancing to Peerless Marquis, this object would be born along with it.

This Primal Core presented a transparent color; the eight primal forces formed ancient patterns, engraved on the surface of the pearl body, connecting head to tail, circulating endlessly.

Besides the birth of this Primal Core, Li Luo also sensed a more important change being born within his body.

His perception swept through his body, finally stopping at a certain place.

Here, a Phase Palace had appeared.

The fifth Phase Palace!

However, just as Li Luo had predicted, inside this fifth Phase Palace, it was still empty; that special and familiar aura clearly indicated it was another Empty Phase.

But for Li Luo now, this Empty Phase was not only not a burden, but rather an opportunity; after obtaining the Great Formless Divine Forging Art, forging a post-heaven phase had become much simpler for him.

However, the new phase nature still needed careful consideration, and also required certain special materials.

So it could not be forged for the time being.

But Li Luo was still exceptionally delighted; this breakthrough to Peerless Marquis had brought him an improvement that was simply unprecedented in magnitude.

Not only did he possess power comparable to the King Realm, but his own phase nature had been sublimated; now, the appearance of the fifth Phase Palace would make his foundation and potential even more substantial.

After years of lying low, the dragon finally transforms today.

In the distant sky, the Black Demon King's face flowed with endless gloom; his eyes, burning with black flames, stared intently at the peerless divine throne forming above Li Luo's head; he never expected that Li Luo could successfully advance right under his nose.

Although Li Luo was currently only a Seventh-Rank Peerless Marquis, the primal fluctuations emanating from his body had already surpassed Pang Pang Qianyuan, who was at the peak of the One-Crown King.

Even, his current five-headed form was vaguely sensing a hint of dangerous aura.

"What does a Seventh-Rank Peerless matter? Today, in this game, you are not qualified to break it!"

The Black Demon King spoke gloomily; after all, its complete form was at the level of the peak Three-Crown King, and furthermore, it possessed the potential to advance to Great Demon King; if its full original power descended now, let alone a Seventh-Rank Peerless, even an Eighth-Rank, it would not fear it at all.

"Since he has already broken through, then you can go die."

Endless killing intent flowed in the Black Demon King's eyes; it directly and suddenly locked onto Jiang Jiang Qinge; at this moment, the Peerless Calamity above her head had completely dissipated, and with the Peerless Calamity broken, Jiang Jiang Qinge's beautiful face turned pale, and even the Saint Phase Crystal Core at her brow had become dim, showing signs of gradually fading away.

Jiang Jiang Qinge had detonated the Peerless Calamity to intercept the Black Demon King and buy Li Luo time to break through; although this power had blocked the Black Demon King, it also caused a huge backlash against herself.

The Black Demon King extended a finger; a black flame light arrow pierced the void from its fingertip, and within the light arrow flowed an extremely terrifying evil thought primal force.

The black flame light arrow moved too fast; even Jiang Jiang Qinge could only see a streak of black light piercing the sky, and at this very moment, due to the backlash of the Peerless Calamity, her state had plummeted to the bottom.

But Jiang Jiang Qinge did not show the slightest panic.

Because just as the black flame light arrow was about to roar towards her, a pair of solid and powerful arms extended from behind, embracing her slender waist and the bend of her legs, and directly lifted her up in a princess carry.

At the same time, a towering peerless divine throne smashed through the void and emerged, directly colliding with that black flame light arrow.

Boom!

The space tore open countless abyss-like cracks, like the tentacles of demons, ravaging wildly.

Yet Jiang Jiang Qinge paid no heed to the destruction waves raging across the sky; she could sense a familiar scent drifting to her nose, so she lifted her bright eyes slightly and saw Li Luo's face right before her. At that moment, the latter looked down from above, and Xu Xu's faint laughter slowly reached her ears.

"Little Jiang Jiang Qinge, do you know? I've wanted to hold you like this for a long time."
