Chapter 1677: The Second Myriad Aspects Seed

The void shattered as the ancient golden wheel rumbled and rotated, unleashing a magnificent force that completely neutralized the astonishing attacks from Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge.

The golden wheel splashed forth profound light, and a human figure stepped through the radiance, piercing through layer upon layer of void, finally appearing in this chaotic battlefield.

Li Luo focused his gaze and saw that it was a man with long hair draped over his shoulders and a handsome face. His pupils were like the dark eyes of a serpent, with black flames slowly rising from the corners of his eyes, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his body, present yet elusive.

"So strong!"

Li Luo was inwardly shocked. With his current strength, even an ordinary Three-Crown King could not pressure him, yet the Candle Yin Underworld King before him made him feel an extremely intense threat.

Such a threat was already beyond that of an ordinary peak Three-Crown King!

At the same time, Li Luo's gaze swept past the familiar Myriad Aspects Wheel behind the Candle Yin Underworld King, and at the edge of that Myriad Aspects Wheel, he saw nine divine sigils radiating profound light.

The Nine-Sigil Myriad Aspects Wheel!

In other words, this Candle Yin Underworld King was not only the second true Myriad Aspects Seed besides himself, but his Myriad Aspects Wheel had also reached the grade of Nine Sigils. As the Pill Saint elder had told him before, a Myriad Aspects Wheel of such grade would have qualified one as a candidate for the First Sequence Sect Master even within the Primeval Aspect Sacred Sect of old.

Clearly, this Candle Yin Underworld King should be the masterpiece of that Yin Li Tianwang.

Yin Li Tianwang had once been one of the Six Disciples of Primeval Aspect, possessing nearly the complete inheritance of the Primeval Aspect Sacred Sect, which naturally included the Myriad Aspects Seed, so he had painstakingly cultivated a Myriad Aspects Seed.

In a certain sense, this Candle Yin Underworld King was the Myriad Aspects Seed truly cultivated through the orthodox path, whereas Li Luo, compared to him, had blazed his own trail by fumbling along the way. After all, the rigid requirement of the Myriad Aspects Golden Core alone had nearly forced him into a dead end.

But fortunately, being tempered through trials was not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, his Myriad Aspects Wheel had now reached the perfected Ten Divine Sigils.

He imagined that this Candle Yin Underworld King must feel some envy and jealousy regarding this.

This point, Li Luo could clearly discern from the fact that the other's gaze, ever since appearing, had remained fixed on the Ten-Sigil Myriad Aspects Wheel behind him.

"What a Myriad Aspects Seed, what a Ten-Sigil Myriad Aspects Wheel. When it comes to compatibility with the Myriad Aspects Seed, you are indeed unparalleled. Had you been born in the primeval era of the Primeval Aspect Sacred Sect, your achievements would have been simply terrifying." After a moment, the Candle Yin Underworld King's gaze withdrew from that ancient, primordial Ten-Sigil Myriad Aspects Wheel, and he sighed softly as he spoke.

Li Luo was born with three Empty Aspects, which for an ordinary person was almost a dead end, yet when this special constitution collided with the Myriad Aspects Seed, they perfectly complemented each other.

Today's Li Luo possessed five Aspect Palaces, which already rivaled that legendary Sect Master of the Primeval Aspect Sacred Sect, and in terms of the number of aspects, he had even surpassed the latter.

Li Luo, however, stared at the other with a wary gaze, because from the other's words, he faintly sensed a thread of greedy killing intent. The other had appeared this time for him!

Boom!

Above Li Luo's head, eight Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms devoured the world's energy, the Rank Divine Aspect Tree at his brow flowed with divine light, and the power of Rank filled the surroundings, ready to launch attacks and defenses at any moment.

Jiang Jiang Qinge also sensed it, and her beautiful eyes instantly became piercingly sharp. At the same time, she flicked a wisp of bright flame from her finger, clearly visible for tens of thousands of miles.

This battlefield was, after all, their home ground.

Numerous King-realm experts of the East Region Alliance were deployed across this battlefield. At a single command, all the Kings would gather, and even if the opponent was the chief of the Thirteen Underworld Kings of the Return-to-One Society, they could not run rampant here.

"I had long wanted to find an opportunity to come for you, but the timing was not right before, and Outer Shenzhou kept watching me too closely. Only by borrowing the arrangement here could I finally wait for you." However, regarding Jiang Jiang Qinge's move to summon reinforcements, the Candle Yin Underworld King paid it no heed, and instead smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Li Luo frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping past Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King behind the Candle Yin Underworld King. Had the other laid out a trap here waiting for him? Did that not mean they had deliberately allowed him to discover their tracks earlier?

That strange formation underground had the power to shield and guide. Qin Jiujie and the Spirit Eye Underworld King had secretly crossed over—was it to guide the Candle Yin Underworld King over without anyone noticing?

"So I am the prey being targeted." Li Luo said slowly.

The Candle Yin Underworld King smiled and nodded, saying: "I need to capture you, strip away your Myriad Aspects Wheel, and then use a secret art to devour it, to help my Myriad Aspects Wheel reach perfection. If this step can be completed, once the ten years of Heaven's Fortune pass, I will surely be able to take that step, and at the same time make up for my former flaw. At that time, I will achieve the true peak realm."

Gentle words, yet flowing with cruel killing intent.

Li Luo's expression was blank as he said: "Then let's try it out. Whether you capture me first, or whether Outer Shenzhou sends people first."

The other was very strong, and could even be considered the strongest person below the Heavenly King realm he had ever seen. Even Dean Wang Xuanjin of the Tianyuan Ancient Academy would fall slightly short in comparison. Perhaps the only one who could match him was that Light King Qi Huang within the Academy Alliance, whom he had never met.

While calculating this, Li Luo automatically excluded Dantai Lan.

Because her Peerless Nine Aspects was no longer at the level of the King realm.

However, even though the other's strength was terrifying, Li Luo was not afraid. He had faced many perilous situations, and even when he was still weak, he had still endured through them. And now, he was already at the peak of Peerless Eight Aspects, which could be considered top-tier strength in this world. The Candle Yin Underworld King was very strong, but he was not entirely without the power to resist.

"It seems you are very confident."

An interested smile appeared on the Candle Yin Underworld King's handsome face.

And just as his words fell, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge suddenly sensed that within this vast battlefield, vast amounts of evil origin suddenly surged forth.

From the depths of the Ghost Domain, which had originally been suppressed by numerous King-realm experts of the East Region Alliance, one Heterogeneous King after another emerged.

Those King-realm experts of the East Region Alliance who had originally intended to reinforce Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge could only stop their figures and engage in slaughter with those Heterogeneous Kings.

This hunting operation by the Return-to-One Society targeting Li Luo had actually formed a joint force with the Ghost Domain of the Dark World.

"Li Luo, you are no longer the unknown of the past. You are the 'Ten Aspects King' renowned throughout the Ten Great Shenzhou, with a wife who is a Primordial Light Seed always by your side. Now you have even unified the 'East Region Alliance' and become the foremost person of this East Region Shenzhou. So, if I am to hunt you, how could I not make thorough preparations?"

The Candle Yin Underworld King chuckled lightly. The next moment, he took a step forward, and the Myriad Aspects Wheel behind him let out an earth-shattering rumble. Within that Myriad Aspects Wheel, three Aspect Palaces were reflected.

Within the Aspect Palaces, five waves of aspect fluctuations actually surged forth.

That was one Single Aspect and two Dual Aspects!

Upper Nine Aspects, Candle Yin Aspect!

Upper Nine Aspects, Day and Night Aspect!

Upper Nine Aspects, Wind and Thunder Aspect!

The entire world was at this moment shrouded in the terrifying might of the Candle Yin Underworld King. His left and right pupils turned black and white, and as his eyelids slowly blinked, the firmament instantly transformed into an endless night.

A colossal beast shadow with a human face and serpent body appeared in the void behind him, and as it inhaled and exhaled, it let out a roar like thunder.

The night descended like a canopy, covering the firmament, and the oppressive might congealed and stilled the void.

And the calm, icy voice of the Candle Yin Underworld King also rang out across the world at this moment.

"Li Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, you are both Peerless Heavenly Talents, dazzling the world."

"But who among us has not walked the Peerless Path?"

As the Candle Yin Underworld King's voice fell, in the void behind him, eight Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms faintly appeared. In the end, the eight Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms transformed into golden smoke, and above his head, condensed into a three-layered King's Crown so thick it was indescribable.

That was the Peerless Path he had once walked, but when condensing the ninth Ten-Pillar Golden Platform back then, his potential was exhausted, and he could only abandon the Peerless Path and instead choose to advance into a Three-Crown King.

But a Three-Crown King advanced into from Peerless Eight Aspects possessed foundations that far surpassed those of an ordinary peak Three-Crown King.

With such a configuration, unless a Peerless Nine Aspects appeared, he was truly invincible below the Heavenly Kings.
