Chapter 1633: Resurrection Chant

"The Thirteen Underworld Kings' Third Seat, the Demon Flame Underworld King?"

When Li Luo heard the warning transmitted from Pang Pang Qianyuan and Lan Lan Lingzi, a solemn expression inevitably surfaced in his eyes. The "Return to One" Association's foundation was terrifyingly deep, and the Thirteen Underworld Kings held positions second only to the Heavenly Kings within it. It was said that only those who reached the Dual Crown King realm could rank among them.

Yet the Demon Flame Underworld King before them actually sat high in the Third Seat—his strength... must be at the Triple Crown King realm.

A level like this was enough to overturn the situation they had only just begun to reverse through bitter struggle.

"Isn't the Academies Alliance at war with the 'Return to One' Association? How could they let an existence like this slip out?" Li Luo's brows knit tightly. As far as he knew, the Academies Alliance and the 'Return to One' Association were currently engaged in a great war, with both sides committing their full foundations—even the Heavenly Kings had taken action—so why had they now released such a big fish to wander about? What were Old Wang and the others doing?

The Demon Flame Underworld King, wreathed in dark-green flames all over his body, let his gaze rest on Li Luo. He seemed to know what the latter was thinking, and immediately laughed in a hoarse voice: "My 'Return to One' Association has stirred up numerous Calamities across the various Outer Shenzhou, among which Ghost Domains have already descended. Those King-realm experts of the Academies Alliance must both busy themselves entangling with us and split their attention to suppress the Ghost Domains, so right now they're stretched to the breaking point."

Li Luo's heart sank. The 'Return to One' Association was actually using Ghost Domains to tie down the Academies Alliance—such a vicious scheme. It was no wonder the Academies Alliance was short-handed. After all, the 'Return to One' Association had been plotting for years and had long ago triggered many Calamities to erupt across the various Outer Shenzhou. Now that the Calamities had grown to scale, summoning a few more Ghost Domains to descend—these Ghost Domains might not be as terrifying as the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain' backed by the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, but once their numbers multiplied, they too became an extreme nuisance.

And the 'Return to One' Association could now simply withdraw, but the Academies Alliance could not sit idly by while the Ghost Domains spread, causing devastation to all life and leaving ten thousand li of dead land—so they could only dispatch experts to suppress them.

Therefore, while on the surface it appeared the Academies Alliance was at war with the 'Return to One' Association, in reality the Academies Alliance was contending against both the 'Return to One' Association and the numerous Ghost Domains of the Dark World.

"Eight-Headed Black Demon King, this seat has come to aid your descent of the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain.'" The Demon Flame Underworld King paid no heed to Li Luo, instead turning his gaze toward the Black Demon King, who had only half a body remaining, and said lightly.

As his words fell, he did not wait for the Black Demon King's response. The green incense in his hand completely ignited, and dense green smoke rose into the sky.

As the thick green smoke surged in continuously, the Authority Divine Light Li Luo had used to force back the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain' began to dim rapidly. After a dozen or so breaths, it shattered completely.

"You little brat, you've actually pushed the Ten Thousand Resonances Seed to this step. A Seven-Grade Unique has already initially fused into a 'Super Nine-Grade' Resonance nature, touching upon the 'Power of Authority'—truly extraordinary." The Demon Flame Underworld King stared at the 'Authority Divine Resonance Tree' between Li Luo's brows and sighed.

"If I hadn't brought this 'Heavenly King Incense,' your 'Authority Divine Light' really would have cost me some time."

The 'Power of Authority' originated from Super Nine-Grade—the supreme power of this world. Because of its special caliber, even though the Demon Flame Underworld King's strength far surpassed Li Luo's at this moment, to grind away this Authority Divine Light still required expending some time.

Li Luo gave a muffled grunt. The 'Authority Divine Resonance Tree' between his brows, representing the Super Nine-Grade Resonance nature, grew ever dimmer. He looked at the green incense in the Demon Flame Underworld King's hand with wariness in his eyes—this thing emanated the 'Power of Authority,' and was surely the work of a Heavenly King of the 'Return to One' Association.

And as Li Luo's 'Authority Divine Light' crumbled, the dense green smoke rising up began to drag the forced-back 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain,' continuing its descent upon Daxia.

The heavens and earth instantly grew dark.

Countless ashes began to fall from the sky, and the entire world grew cold along with them.

Li Luo's figure moved, appearing before Jiang Jiang Qinge and shielding her behind him.

And the Black Demon King, who had originally been jointly suppressed by Pang Pang Qianyuan and the other two, suddenly erupted with vast, surging Evil Thought Origin within his body. The Evil Thoughts came like a tide, instantly shattering all the Origin locks the three had set up around him.

Pang Pang Qianyuan and the other two let out muffled grunts, their figures retreating in disarray.

Then they all watched with ugly expressions as countless cold ashes from between heaven and earth surged toward the Black Demon King, and his broken body was rapidly filled in by the gray ashes—in the span of a breath, he was restored completely.

At the same time, the three Ghost-Faced Heads that Li Luo had previously severed with the Authority Divine Light also madly sprouted jet-black flesh buds, tangling with each other, and finally emerged from the neck.

And not just that... a sixth head, a seventh!

When the seven Ghost-Faced Heads appeared, the Evil Thought Origin erupting from the Black Demon King's body had, shockingly, directly stepped into the Triple Crown King realm!

The Black Demon King's power was gradually reaching its peak state!

This scene caused countless people within Daxia City to show fear on their faces. No one had expected that the situation, which had been on the verge of being reversed, would once again plunge into despair!

However, just as the Black Demon King attempted to fully draw down the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain' and birth his eighth head to restore his peak, the Demon Flame Underworld King smiled lightly and suddenly formed a hand seal.

Thus, the green smoke that had been dragging the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain' down suddenly changed the direction of its force, beginning to hold back the 'Eight-Headed Ghost Domain' and preventing it from fully descending.

"Hm? Demon Flame Underworld King, what are you doing?" The Black Demon King's seven Ghost-Faced Heads, fourteen pupils, blazed with black flames like liquid, and a terrifying pressure billowed out.

"Seven heads are enough." The Demon Flame Underworld King smiled.

Among the many Ghost Domains of the Dark World, the Eight-Headed Ghost Domain belonged to the top tier, and the Eight-Headed Black Demon King's complete form was at the peak of Triple Crown King, even possessing the qualification to touch the Great Demon King realm. So if it were truly allowed to descend in its complete form, the Demon Flame Underworld King would have no confidence in suppressing it.

Therefore, in his view, seven heads were enough.

The Black Demon King snorted coldly, knowing full well the other party was wary of him restoring his Eight-Headed form. His gaze, brimming with endless killing intent, turned toward Li Luo—the latter had inflicted damage on him far too severe, and he naturally remembered this debt.

However, before the Black Demon King could act against Li Luo, the Demon Flame Underworld King said: "Black Demon King, there's no need to bother with these idle people for now. Please make your move first and force out that Pill Saint, otherwise if this drags on any longer, the Academies Alliance's people will truly arrive."

Hearing the Demon Flame Underworld King's words, the black flames in the Black Demon King's fourteen pupils flickered violently. In the end, he too acknowledged what the other had said. He had plotted for years precisely for that slumbering Pill Saint, and now there were already enough variables—so it was better to first force the Pill Saint out and capture him.

Thus, the Black Demon King's seven Ghost-Faced Heads simultaneously opened their mouths at this moment, emitting a strange and ancient murmuring chant.

The murmuring chant rose soundlessly, directly covering every corner of Daxia.

South Wind City, House Luolan Mansion Old Residence.

On Bai Bai Mengmeng's pure and pretty cheeks, a sudden expression of pain appeared. She lowered her head and discovered strange patterns surfacing on her skin, while at the same time a tingling soreness radiated from her back. Then, with a ripping sound, a pair of enormous, resplendent butterfly wings grew out from her back.

The butterfly wings were broad, seemingly inscribed with countless wondrous patterns. With each gentle flap, crystalline dust swept out, instantly covering all of South Wind City.

Under the crystalline dust's coverage, the eyes of everyone in South Wind City began to grow somewhat hollow, as if they had fallen into an illusion.

And Bai Bai Mengmeng was horrified to discover that her own Resonance power was now beginning to undergo a terrifying amplification, as if something deep within her body was awakening.

At the same time, her control over her own body began growing weaker and weaker.

"Sister Colored Butterfly, what's going on?" Bai Bai Mengmeng cried out in panic within her heart.

"Sigh."

A sigh rose from within her heart, and the mysterious consciousness named Colored Butterfly surfaced: "This is the Resurrection Chant, an ancient secret incantation. That Black Demon King must know my background—he wants to use the Resurrection Chant to forcibly awaken all my slumbering consciousness."

And when Colored Butterfly's voice fell, a vague premonition also rose in Bai Bai Mengmeng's heart. At this very moment, across this vast land of Daxia—in some ancient mountain depths, in some abysses, beneath some stretches of earth, even within some hidden spaces—

familiar and immense fluctuations were emerging from within.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the void and see those places.

She saw that at the bottom of each of these hidden places, a colored silkworm cocoon had appeared. These cocoons were inscribed with countless ancient runes, but now those runes were gradually fading, and cracks were appearing on the cocoons.

Finally, enormous butterfly wings stretched out from the cracks in the cocoons.

In that instant, shocking auras erupted violently from these hidden places.

"This..."

Bai Bai Mengmeng's heart trembled, and she stammered: "Sister Colored Butterfly, you... you're not human, you're..."

The consciousness named Colored Butterfly within her gave a helpless laugh.

"Yes, sister isn't human, but a..."

"Heavenly Demon Butterfly."
