Chapter 1674: Eastern Region Alliance, Alliance Leader Li Luo!

When the three three-crowned demon kings met a fate of one dead and two fleeing, the demonic corruption that had drawn the alarmed gaze of countless alliances in Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region was declared utterly shattered.

And throughout the Ming King Alliance, all were filled with the ecstasy of barely surviving.

No one had expected that this catastrophic disaster would be resolved so unexpectedly.

Amid countless reverent and admiring gazes, Li Luo descended with Jiang Jiang Qinge onto the walls of Tianyun City, while Zhao Mingwang hurriedly led the alliance's senior leaders to greet them.

"Lord Li Luo, Her Divine Grace, I thank you both on behalf of the dozens of dynasties and empires and billions of lives within the Ming King Alliance—this act of salvation, we shall forever remember." Zhao Mingwang's face brimmed with gratitude as he bowed.

Li Luo also cast a curious glance at this Zhao Mingwang; when he had first entered the Shengxuan Star Academy, the man was already a veteran king famed across Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region, his prestige even surpassing that of Chancellor Pang by several degrees.

And the Shengming Wang Academy he founded was among the supreme holy academies of Outer Shenzhou.

"Lord Zhao, you are too kind. In this time of great chaos, as a member of Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region, we share lips and teeth—we must unite to resist." Li Luo returned the bow, showing no arrogance despite his current strength and achievements.

Zhao Mingwang greatly appreciated Li Luo's humble demeanor; after all, in seniority and generation, he was far older than these two youths—but he understood that in this chaos, seniority meant nothing, for when the demonic kings came, they did not care for such things, and without sufficient strength, one would be slaughtered like pigs and dogs.

"Your Graces, though the Ming King Alliance's crisis has been averted, demonic corruption still ravages Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region, and many demonic kings roam unchecked; other alliances teeter on the brink of collapse. I have a proposal—may I ask if you would consent?"

After seeing Li Luo nod, Zhao Mingwang continued: "I wish to notify the other alliances of Outer Shenzhou to unite with our Great Xia and Ming King Alliances, pooling our strength to resist the increasingly frequent demonic incursions."

Li Luo nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly—united defense was always more effective than fighting alone.

"If Lord Li Luo does not object, please assume the position of Alliance Leader—otherwise, the other alliances may not fully submit." Zhao Mingwang exclaimed joyfully.

In the past, Zhao Mingwang had attempted to unify the many alliances of Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region, but though his strength and prestige were considerable, he could not fully subdue them—but now, Li Luo's emergence presented this opportunity.

Once his battle record spread across Outer Shenzhou, every alliance would be shaken; only with such a leader could the forces of Outer Shenzhou be truly subdued and coordinated.

Then, under this new alliance's combined strength, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge could lead a counteroffensive and perhaps curb the rampant expansion of the Dark World's demonic corruption.

"I become Alliance Leader?"

Li Luo was about to refuse, but then suddenly recalled the celestial fate that had bolstered him—though he was now at the peak of Wu Shuang Eighth Rank, a top-tier king in this age, the Battle of Guiyi had already begun, and the Ten Years of Tianyun had only five years left; after five years, the true great battle would come, and the Dark World's great demon kings would descend upon the Ten Shenzhou without restraint.

In such a scale of battle, Wu Shuang Eighth Rank was far from enough.

Thus, within these five years, Li Luo's initial goal was to ascend to Wu Shuang Ninth Rank.

Only then could he possess the power to intervene in the chaos.

But Wu Shuang Ninth Rank was no easy feat—even after absorbing an entire "Divine Fruit Wind Phase," he had only reached the peak of Wu Shuang Eighth Rank, and Ninth Rank remained forever out of reach.

Therefore, to break through to Wu Shuang Ninth Rank within the coming five years, Li Luo would likely need to rely on this unique "Tianyun" blessing.

And to gain "Tianyun," he must continuously slay demonic kings to earn merit.

In other words, the demonic kings ravaging the world now would all become his stepping stones to advancement.

From now on, he must become a "Demon-Slaying Fury!"

But demonic corruption was too vast, and demonic kings did not fight alone—he could not possibly face them all with Jiang Jiang Qinge by his side alone, so he needed a massive force to assist him.

Thus, this alliance uniting the forces of Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region was undoubtedly the perfect solution.

After a brief pause, Li Luo replied: "If the other alliances do not resist, I shall gladly lend my strength to defend Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingwang was overjoyed and immediately agreed, promising to communicate with the other alliances.

Then Zhao Mingwang urgently ordered the entire Ming King Alliance to launch an offensive, first quelling the demonic hordes and corruption beyond the Shengyun Mountain defensive line.

"Haha, congratulations, Lord Li Luo, Alliance Leader—you'll be the most powerful man in Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region!" Pang Pang Qianyuan walked over, teasing Li Luo.

Internally, he couldn't help but marvel—who could have imagined that the boy once desperately fleeing from the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf in the academy's dark caves had now become the Alliance Leader of all Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region, with countless kings gathering under him, revered and worshipped by billions of lives?

"Chancellor Pang, don't tease me—this alliance's formation merely helps me slay more demonic kings and seize celestial fate." Li Luo smiled helplessly, then spoke frankly.

"Celestial fate… indeed a precious thing." Pang Pang Qianyuan nodded slightly; in these five years, new kings had continuously emerged across the Ten Shenzhou, largely due to this celestial fate.

But no matter how many ordinary kings emerged, they could not shift the tide—when the Tianyun Ten Years ended, only the birth of a new Li Li Tianwang would make Jiang Li Tianwang's scheme a success.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge might have this chance, so they must compete even harder for that celestial fate.

He had heard that Qi Huang, the Light King of the Academy Alliance, and Chancellor Wang Xuanjin were already preparing for it.

"Don't worry, Lord Li Luo, Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region will give you full support and obey your commands—after all, whether our Shengxuan Star Academy can ascend to an Ancient Academy depends on you and Jiang Qinge." Pang Pang Qianyuan laughed.

"Then thank you, Chancellor Pang."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

With the three three-crowned demon kings gone, the demonic hordes invading the Ming King Alliance now lacked leadership and were swiftly crushed under the alliance's full counteroffensive.

Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the other reinforcements then returned to Great Xia.

Simultaneously, the news of Li Luo's emergence and his ascent to Wu Shuang Eighth Rank peak spread like a storm across the entire Ten Shenzhou, triggering shockwaves among all supreme factions.

Even the Shenzhou Council—the highest organization in the Ten Shenzhou—was stirred by ripples.

After all, Li Luo's emergence came with a shocking battle record.

He faced three three-crowned demon kings alone, slain the Black King outright, and forced the White Scorpion and Holy Banner Kings to flee, their crowns shattered.

Such a terrifying feat drew the attention of even those at the peak of three-crowned king status.

Yet for the various factions, this shock was mostly joy—for in this chaos, someone had stepped forward to turn the tide, and that was ultimately good.

And Li Luo's name had now resounded thoroughly across the Ten Shenzhou.

At the same time, the prestige of our Ten Shenzhou's first academy continued to rise.

As Li Luo's fame spread, Zhao Mingwang, after a period of coordination, finally gathered the other mid-sized alliances of Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region in Daya City; after highly efficient negotiations, all alliances reached an agreement to unite.

Thus, before the gaze of the other Shenzhou, the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou gave birth to the first massive alliance.

Its name: Eastern Region Alliance.

And Li Luo became its first Alliance Leader.

Thus, the boy from Nanfeng City who once held only a Kongxiang phase had become the undisputed foremost figure across the vast Shenzhou.

Soon after the Eastern Region Alliance's establishment, under Li Luo's leadership, it launched a fierce counteroffensive against the numerous demonic corruption sites across Outer Shenzhou's Eastern Region.
