Chapter 1675

Under the leadership of Li Luo and Jiang Qinge, the Eastern Domain Alliance launched wave after wave of fierce counterattacks across the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou in just three short months.

Now Li Luo is a peerless eighth-grade peak, his combat power already on par with the Three-Crowned Demon Kings, and with Jiang Qinge, another peerless eighth-grade, assisting him, demonic fiends numbering less than two Three-Crowned Demon Kings simply cannot withstand the suppression of this husband-and-wife duo.

Thus, in just three months, the Eastern Domain Alliance achieved remarkable results.

Over ten demonic fiends were shattered and swept away, dozens of aberrant kings were slain, including three Double-Crowned Demon Kings.

For a time, countless beings on the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou felt their spirits greatly uplifted; the name "Ten Xiang King" Li Luo became the most dazzling banner on this Shenzhou, and even this honored name was recorded by the Golden Dragon Treasure Firm and spread across the Ten Great Shenzhou.

And everyone knows that, amidst this turmoil, for such a peerless powerhouse capable of shouldering great responsibility to arise from the impoverished and remote Outer Shenzhou is truly a rare fortune.

This will spare countless beings from slaughter and enslavement.

However, facing the Eastern Domain Alliance's fierce counterattacks, the Dark World is not entirely without response; first, the number of demonic fiend descents in the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou has intensified and become more frequent.

But because the major demonic fiends with Three-Crowned Demon Kings in command are primarily attacking the four Inner Shenzhou, which possess the core elite forces of the Ten Great Shenzhou, the Dark World could not initially dispatch new Three-Crowned Demon Kings to descend upon the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou; thus, the demonic fiends on the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou continually contracted, avoiding the edge of the Eastern Domain Alliance.

Li Luo knows that perhaps not long from now, the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou will again see a Three-Crowned Demon King descend; once that happens, with myriad demonic fiends under the new Three-Crowned Demon King's command, the Eastern Domain Alliance will find it no longer easy to advance lightly, so he seizes this opportunity to continually counterattack, aiming to further weaken the Dark World's demonic fiend numbers on the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou and deplete its foundations.

Of course, more importantly... it's to farm merits.

After all, in Li Luo's eyes, these aberrant kings and demonic fiends are resources for inviting heavenly credit and promotion.

So he fights with great enjoyment.

Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou, Northwestern Domain battlefield.

Countless waves of phase power burst forth like fireworks, one after another Marquis Platforms blooming with mysterious light shot up into the sky like mountains, continuously pressing down upon the formidable aberrant beings exuding thick malevolent qi.

In some areas, even the king-realm experts of both sides clashed, terrifying fluctuations tearing the heavens, causing mountains and rivers to collapse.

This is another offensive launched by the Eastern Domain Alliance.

Now, the Eastern Domain Alliance alone possesses over fifty king-realm experts, accounting for nearly eighty percent of this Outer Shenzhou's foundations; this number comes partly from support from the Academy Alliance and partly from new kings promoted during these "Ten Years of Heavenly Fortune."

Kings are arrogant and unruly; even in this chaotic age, wanting to fully integrate and deploy them requires a leader with absolute authority to command obedience. Previously, no one in the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou could achieve this—not even Zhao Mingwang lacked the timing—but Li Luo's sudden emergence, relying on his world-shaking feat of single-handedly opposing three Three-Crowned Demon Kings, subdued all king-realm experts in the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou.

This is also a major factor enabling the Eastern Domain Alliance to achieve this.

Li Luo's figure stood in the battlefield's upper air, his sharp gaze sweeping the four directions of heaven; he did not interfere in the clashes of the kings from both sides, after all, they also needed to slay aberrant kings to contend for "Heavenly Earth Fortune" and strengthen their foundations.

Thus, unless a friendly king-realm expert fell into a life-or-death crisis, Li Luo would not intervene, for king-realm experts are extremely precious—there are only these few in the entire Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou, and losing any one would be a major loss.

Our Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou cannot compare to the foundations of the Inner Shenzhou.

Li Luo's gaze swept over a certain area below, where a violent wind phase power raged, tearing apart countless aberrant beings in its path; but just then, three Nine-Grade True Demons actually burst forth from the shattered space, launching a fierce and brutal assault upon the figure within that wind.

Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, about to act.

But as his thought just stirred, the unrestrained figure in the wind seemed to sense something, immediately letting out a long cry and laughing: "Li Luo, don't interfere—let me handle it!"

That familiar voice and figure were none other than Yu Lang.

At this moment, he had nine dazzling Marquis Platforms towering above his head, rolling vast gales, he held a blade whose cold light flowed and shimmered, his face covered in wind-frost and bloodstains, while his eyes surged with a fierce glare as he locked onto the three Nine-Grade True Demons charging in for slaughter.

He showed not the slightest trace of fear; instead, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Over these five years, Yu Lang's phase power level had risen to Ninth Grade Top Marquis, a rapid rise indeed, and his achievement stems largely from the same reason as Li Luo...

Divine Fruit Wind Phase!

When Li Luo refined the Divine Fruit Wind Phase, some wind phase remnants could not be absorbed; these remnants contained extremely concentrated wind phase ranks, difficult for ordinary people to refine, but Yu Lang, having cultivated the "Primordial Phase Technique," became instead the sole person capable of refining them.

Thus, over these years, while Li Luo was in seclusion, Yu Lang came every half year to help digest them, enabling him to raise his strength to the peak of Ninth Grade Top Marquis within five years, just one step away from the Marquis Realm.

At this moment, facing the assault of three Nine-Grade True Demons, Yu Lang did not retreat in the slightest and even stopped Li Luo's assistance; his expression was intense, as he saw the vast heavenly gales all gather together, actually condensing into countless strands of deep cyan cyan wind, winding around the blade.

Within those cyan winds flowed extremely concentrated wind origin!

Origin power is originally the strength of Marquis Realm experts, but because Yu Lang absorbed the remnants of the Divine Fruit Wind Phase, he could also unleash it while still in the Marquis Realm.

However, Yu Lang is extremely extreme—he transmuted all his phase power into origin, condensing it upon the blade, while his own body nearly abandoned all defense.

In an instant, it seemed as if a clear breeze had passed by.

His figure had already crossed paths with the three Nine-Grade True Demons, the blade slicing through their bodies, while simultaneously cleaving a distant mountain peak in two with a single stroke, the break surface smooth as a mirror.

The three Nine-Grade True Demons wailed as they shattered apart, turning into scattered flesh and blood across the ground.

Yu Lang's blood-soaked figure appeared behind the three fallen true demons, his body swaying slightly, nearly collapsing; on his body, hideous wounds surfaced, blood gushing wildly.

One blade, three demons slain.

But Yu Lang also paid the price of severe injury for this.

Yu Lang stubbornly held up his body, raised his head to gaze far toward Li Luo's direction, and called out to him with a smile: "Was this blade of mine cool or not?"

Li Luo laughed and nodded.

Yu Lang's vision gradually darkened, then he collapsed forward, but fortunately, at this moment a graceful figure swiftly approached from behind, supporting him—it was Bai Doudou, who had been watching Yu Lang's battle closely.

Li Luo then waved his hand, a vast clear wind sweeping over, lifting Bai Doudou and Yu Lang up, and in an instant they landed behind the battlefield.

After doing this, Li Luo turned his head, his gaze falling upon a distant vast lake; the lake's originally clear water had long since turned blood-red, stained by blood.

Li Luo's eyes icy cold as he stared at the lake, suddenly extending a finger; a thread of crystal light appeared at his fingertip, the next moment the crystal light shot out, seeming to transform into a heaven-splitting crystal blade; with one stroke, it shattered that lake together with the surrounding mountains and lands completely.

A rift as deep as an abyss appeared, extending straight down to the depths below.

The abyss, wrapped in Li Luo's power, continually plunged deeper, seemingly grinding some strange formations to dust along the way, finally accompanied by a rumbling sound, deep underground, a strange formation appeared in view.

And at the center of the strange formation, two shadows flickered and lost color; they had not expected this formation, shielded by the residual power of a Heavenly King, to be detected by Li Luo.

"You two, five years without meeting—I didn't expect you'd still be up to this."

Li Luo stood suspended in midair, his eyes flowing with killing intent as he fixed those two figures.

Those were two old acquaintances.

Qin Nine Tribulations.

Ling Eye Nether King.
