Chapter 1672: Ten-Affinity King, Li Luo!

Nine ten-pillar golden platforms stood towering at the horizon, like majestic, indestructible divine mountains. The energy of heaven and earth was drawn by them, forming a massive energy tide that was continuously devoured in torrents.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure of oppression enveloped this entire stretch of heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

Within the long defensive line of the Sacred Fortune Mountain Range, countless experts and living beings in the mighty cities and fortresses all wore expressions of deep shock at this moment.

The next instant, earth-shattering cheers and acclamations erupted skyward, and the mighty sound waves actually caused this enormous, sprawling mountain range to tremble.

The fear that the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings had brought earlier was immense, and so the wild joy erupting from countless living beings now was equally intense.

"Unparalleled Nine-Pin... how is this possible?!"

Even Zhao Mingwang, Liu Yuan, and other King-realm experts in the Bright Kings Alliance widened their eyes, excited yet full of disbelief.

In just five short years, Li Luo had advanced from Unparalleled Seven-Pin to Unparalleled Nine-Pin? This simply defied logic.

They were also veteran King-realm experts and naturally knew how arduous the Unparalleled Path was; otherwise, how could it be called the foremost path in the world?

"Li Luo's ninth ten-pillar golden platform is clearly far more illusory than the previous eight, and the energy fluctuations it emits are also distinctly different from the previous eight. Presumably, Li Luo forced it into being through some special Mi Fa. Therefore, his 'Unparalleled Nine-Pin' is likely only temporary." Pang Pang Qianyuan said thoughtfully.

Only then did Zhao Mingwang and Liu Yuan realize. A temporary Unparalleled Nine-Pin, though still terrifying, was easier to accept when it came to Li Luo.

"This number-one household in the Outer Shenzhou truly lives up to its reputation." Zhao Mingwang's tense body slowly relaxed. With Li Luo, a temporary 'Unparalleled Nine-Pin', holding the line, there was finally someone to shoulder this crisis today.

In today's Ten Great Outer Shenzhou, Li Luo's household was known to all, its fame illustrious.

There was no helping it; the achievements of this household were simply too shocking.

The ancestor and grandfather were both Li Li Tianwang, his mother Dantai Lan had already reached Unparalleled Nine-Pin, and though his father Li Taixuan had been missing for many years, from the news coming out of the Wang Hou battlefield, he now seemed to possess an extremely terrifying strength—even when hunted by the Great Demon Kings, he remained lively and unscathed.

And Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, these two young juniors, had now also stepped into Unparalleled Eight-Pin.

What illustrious achievements were these?

Four Unparalleled in one household!

Just how heaven-defying was that?

Looking through the ages, this was likely the true number-one household!

While everyone marveled and relaxed, the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings—White Scorpion, Sacred Banner, and Black Demon King—wore expressions of shock and fury. They had never expected Li Luo to reach this step.

"That ninth ten-pillar golden platform was forcibly filled by external force. His 'Unparalleled Nine-Pin' is far too diluted; there's no need to fear him!" the Seven-Headed Black Demon King said darkly. It harbored the deepest hatred for Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge. Back then, its scheme in Daxia had failed precisely because of these two variables. Not only had it failed to seize the opportunity to break through to Li Li Tianwang, but its own origin had been wounded, and it had even fallen from the peak of Triple-Crowned King.

The White Scorpion and Sacred Banner Triple-Crowned Demon Kings also nodded. They too sensed that the threat brought by Li Luo's 'Unparalleled Nine-Pin' was not as terrifying as imagined.

Thus, the next moment, they no longer hesitated and struck without mercy.

The nine-tailed white scorpion coiled on the White Scorpion Demon King's rotund belly swayed its tail. At the tip, a blood-drenched eye erupted with bloody light, which radiated an overwhelming stench of blood—a primordial blood-light condensed from the essence blood of countless living beings.

The Sacred Banner Demon King shook the sacred banner in its hand, and a chilling white torrent swept forth. Within the torrent, countless agonizing, struggling human figures drifted, emitting cries of torment.

The Seven-Headed Black Demon King spat a jet-black fire bead from its mouth. A shocking primordial wave surged from within, transforming into black fire-light that slashed directly toward Li Luo.

The three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings struck with full force, holding nothing back. The terrifying offensive swept forth in mighty waves, even shattering the heavens and void entirely.

The mere aftershocks of these attacks made Zhao Mingwang, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and these Double-Crowned Kings sense a fatal danger.

But Li Luo's expression remained utterly unchanged. He even still held Jiang Jiang Qinge's small hand with one hand. The next moment, the Myriad Phases Wheel in the void behind him slowly began to turn, its ancient, primordial rumble shaking heaven and earth.

At the edge of the Myriad Phases Wheel, ten divine glyphs, wondrous to the extreme, bloomed with mystic light.

Everyone could see that at five positions on the Myriad Phases Wheel, five phase palaces stood like cave-heavens. At this moment, vast, surging primordial phase power poured forth in an endless torrent.

The affinities within were also revealed to the world, shocking countless living beings.

Mid Nine-Pin Wood-Earth Affinity!

Upper Nine-Pin Water-Light Affinity!

Upper Nine-Pin Heavenly Dragon Thunder Affinity!

Upper Nine-Pin Crystal Ice Affinity!

And within the fifth phase palace, divine winds swept mightily. It was the Wind Affinity, but what was astonishing was that these divine winds gave a sense of being everywhere at once, yet illusory and ethereal, as if both real and unreal.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's beautiful eyes also gazed at Li Luo's fifth phase palace, and she said softly in some surprise: "This is... Illusion Affinity?"

Within Li Luo's fifth affinity, besides the Wind Affinity, there was actually the presence of the Illusion Affinity!

Hearing this, Li Luo smiled and nodded, saying: "This affinity is called the 'Wind-Illusion Affinity'. It comes from Elder Dan Sheng's true form, the 'Heavenly Demon Butterfly'. The Heavenly Demon Butterfly is naturally endowed with venom, illusion, and other attributes. When I forged my primary and secondary dual affinities, I chose to use the Illusion Affinity as the secondary."

Therefore, Li Luo's current fifth affinity was... Upper Nine-Pin Wind-Illusion Affinity!

Four Upper Nine-Pin affinities, one Mid Nine-Pin dual affinity!

Such a luxurious Affinity Rank configuration made even the King-realm experts present feel their eyes sting, their faces full of envy.

Zhao Mingwang sighed and said: "From now on, the name 'Ten-Affinity King' will shake the Outer Shenzhou."

"Ten-Affinity King? I've never heard of it, haha." Pang Pang Qianyuan, upon hearing this, also found it quite fitting. Perhaps only such a unique honorific could match Li Luo's five palaces and ten affinities.

After this battle, Li Luo's name would surely stand at the pinnacle of the Outer Shenzhou, joining the ranks of true peak experts.

And Jiang Jiang Qinge could not help but marvel at this moment. During these five years, her original Mid Nine-Pin Light Affinity had also evolved into Upper Nine-Pin, meaning she now possessed four Upper Nine-Pin Light Affinities.

Yet even with such a configuration, she had now truly begun to be surpassed by Li Luo.

Jiang Jiang Qinge gazed at Li Luo's handsome face, a faint curve rising at the corner of her lips. Unconsciously, the youth who had once taken her as his goal, constantly striving to catch up, had now formally and comprehensively begun to surpass her.

Whether in phase power level or in the rank of affinities.

Five phase palaces revealed themselves, vast phase power surging.

The power of the ten affinities surged within the Myriad Phases Wheel, and finally, as the wheel turned, they merged perfectly together. At the instant of their fusion, an ancient, primordial tree-pattern slowly emerged between Li Luo's brows.

That was the Rank Divine Phase Tree!

The mark of a Super Nine-Pin affinity!

With Li Luo's current Affinity Rank configuration, and after fusion through the Myriad Phases Wheel, the resulting 'Rank Divine Phase Tree' was undoubtedly more majestic and real than when it was displayed in Daxia City five years ago.

Hum!

The Rank Divine Phase Tree swayed gently, spilling forth magnificent, vast Rank Divine Light. As the divine light fell, the terrifying offensive from the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings abruptly halted, then began to dissolve at an astonishing speed.

Rank Divine Light was a Li Li Tianwang's technique!

Even though Li Luo's temporary Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle carried quite a bit of water, under the augmentation of the Rank Divine Light, it still possessed the might to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.

Li Luo watched the crumbling assault of the three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings, his expression calm. The "Rank Divine Phase Tree" between his brows swayed, shedding endless divine light. The divine light gathered in his hand and actually formed an ancient great bow.

A divine bow formed from Rank Divine Light!

The nine Ten-Pillar Marquis Platforms above Li Luo's head roared and trembled, cascading down vast origin to augment his body.

With this augmentation, Li Luo slowly drew the bowstring. A Rank light arrow condensed into being. The light arrow had no dazzling brilliance, seeming to be merely a blurred ray of light, yet the moment it took shape, the distant White Scorpion, Holy Banner, and Black Demon King suddenly had their hair stand on end, an indescribable sense of crisis welling up from the depths of their hearts.

The surging, turbulent energy of the entire heaven and earth seemed to fall silent the instant the Rank light arrow took shape.

"Retreat! Avoid the sharp edge for now!"

The three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings' faces changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy. Vast evil-thought origin swept forth, transforming into countless origin talismans that formed layer upon layer of defense.

And their figures instantly pierced through the void, retreating ten thousand miles.

Li Luo's current "Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle" state certainly could not last long. Once it declined, today they could slay him.

Moreover, these three Triple-Crowned Demon Kings were extremely cunning. They scattered as they retreated, so that even if Li Luo struck, he could only lock onto one.

Li Luo's pupils reflected the three demonic lights tearing through the sky, yet his face remained extraordinarily calm. The next moment, his body seemed to take on a strange, illusory quality. Then, to Jiang Qing'e's astonished gaze, two more "Li Luo" figures actually separated out from his main body.

At the same time, in the hands of these two avatars were also Rank Divine Bows and Rank Light Arrows, and the terrifying fluctuation from them was no weaker than that of the main body.

One transformed into three.

This was a phase art that Li Luo had deduced and perfected during his five years of closed-door cultivation.

An Unparalleled Art.

Light-Splitting Phantom Divine Shadow.
