Chapter 1688: Battle Against the Three Kings Again

Boom!

As the various powerhouses were all awed by the strike and arrival of the Grand Hall Master of the Beast Spirit Hall, Lin Miao, Li Luo, however, lifted an eyelid and said, "So you've finally come out."

His aggressive move against Zhu Ze was naturally aimed at forcing this Grand Hall Master, Lin Miao, to show himself.

After all, for Xi Chan to secure her position as the clan head of the Xi Clan, and also to keep her safe in the future, merely sealing Xi Li was clearly not enough of a deterrent.

Therefore, Li Luo's target from the very beginning had been Lin Miao!

Boom!

The purple-gold dragon claw abandoned its suppression of Zhu Ze, turned its head to meet the strike, and collided head-on with the black poisonous dragon claw that had come through the shattered void. At the instant of impact, layer upon layer of void shattered, like a lake surface into which a boulder had been thrown.

However, in this clash, Li Luo's purple-gold Heavenly Dragon Claw was clearly more domineering. The surging, boundless origin power swept through, forcibly shaking the black poisonous dragon claw back again and again.

From deep within the void, a faint muffled groan rang out.

"Come out!"

Li Luo's gaze turned fierce. Mysterious light surged above his head as eight ten-pillar golden platforms stood tall. As their radiance intertwined, they transformed into a flawless, peerless divine throne. From the throne, a peerless sword light erupted, slicing through layer upon layer of void. From deep within the void, a figure radiating a vast aura emerged.

It was a middle-aged man draped in a black-gold dragon robe, his aura majestic as the sea. Above his head, three layers of grand, solid kingly crowns devoured the energy of heaven and earth, and vast origin power flowed out, transforming into rings of origin light that encircled him.

It was none other than the Grand Hall Master of the Beast Spirit Hall, Lin Miao!

But at this moment, this Grand Hall Master was staring with a solemn expression at the peerless sword light Li Luo had cleaved toward him. From their brief exchange earlier, he had already felt the pressure Li Luo brought.

The opponent's strength had indeed surpassed that of an ordinary Three-Crown King; no wonder he had been able to achieve such astonishing battle records back then.

So, alone, he could not suppress Li Luo.

"Brother Mei! Brother Zhu! Please lend me your aid!" Lin Miao said in a deep voice.

His voice rang out, and within this stretch of heaven and earth, two helpless soft sighs inevitably sounded. The next moment, countless people in Xi City looked up in horror, only to see the firmament beginning to split open with two enormous fissures.

Within one fissure, it seemed to be filled with an endless sea of fire, within which terrifying, domineering flame origin power surged and churned.

Within the other spatial rift, one could see a boundless sea of forest, where towering green trees grew like pillars, emanating a thick vitality.

Two figures slowly walked out from within.

One was a red-haired old man, his bare feet treading upon fire lotuses.

The other was a green-haired youth, draped in a straw raincoat, holding a green pine in his hand.

And when these two appeared, everyone present sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, and cries of horror rang out.

"Mystic Fire King Zhu Rongtian!"

"Green Pine King Mei Jin!"

These two were unmistakably the other two Three-Crown Kings within the Beast Spirit Alliance.

Now, facing Lin Miao's request, in order to uphold the dignity of the Beast Spirit Alliance, they could only step forward to assist.

With the appearance of these two Three-Crown Kings, Lin Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then his gaze sharpened as he stared at the incoming peerless sword light. Above his head, the three layers of kingly crowns shed vast streams of pure origin energy, within which dragon roars bellowed and black sand swept.

Finally, Lin Miao pointed a finger, and vast pure origin energy surged forth to meet the peerless sword light, encircling it layer upon layer.

At the same time, the Mystic Fire King and Green Pine King, who had just appeared, also struck. Vast origin power surged forth, transforming into a crimson fire lotus and a wooden tower inscribed with green pines, which pressed directly toward Li Luo to suppress him.

They did not wish to make an enemy of Li Luo, but at this moment Li Luo clearly intended to use Lin Miao to establish his dominance. Yet Lin Miao was the leader of the Beast Spirit Alliance; for the reputation of the Beast Spirit Alliance, they could only first strike to hold Li Luo back, then negotiate.

Thus, in an instant, three Three-Crown Kings struck together, and the earth-shattering might of it caused the faces of countless powerhouses present to turn pale.

Li Luo stared at the fire lotus and green-pine wooden tower pressing down upon him, his eyes narrowing slightly. The next moment, the void behind him trembled as the Myriad Phases Wheel emerged, and the many phases rapidly fused together.

Super Nine-Grade, Heavenly Dragon Phase!

Among Li Luo's ten phases, if one were to speak of domineering offensive power, the Heavenly Dragon Phase would undoubtedly be first. Therefore, he also liked most to fuse this phase into a Super Nine-Grade to use against his enemies.

Roar!

An ancient, vast dragon cry of the Heavenly Dragon swept across heaven and earth in mighty waves.

At Li Luo's brow, the Rank Divine Phase Tree evolved, and upon it a Heavenly Dragon coiled.

Li Luo waved his sleeve, and nine dragon shadows pierced through the air, directly transforming into a purple-gold dragon seal as massive as a mountain.

Peerless Art, Nine Dragon Sacred Emperor Seal!

The purple-gold dragon seal, wrapped in vast dragon might, met the incoming fire lotus and green-pine wooden tower without yielding. In an instant, the void within tens of thousands of miles around shattered along with it, countless black fissures writhing like dragon serpents, releasing terrifying aftershock power.

Then, countless powerhouses in this Eastern Sea Realm were shocked to see that the fire lotus from the Mystic Fire King and the green-pine wooden tower from the Green Pine King were, under the roar of the purple-gold dragon seal, beginning to be forced back unceasingly.

Li Luo had actually, by his own strength, squarely withstood the attacks of two Three-Crown Kings, and from the look of it, he had even clearly gained a slight upper hand.

The peak of Peerless Eight-Grade was actually this terrifying?

Boom!

The Mystic Fire King's face turned solemn. With a shift of his mind, the fire lotus suddenly exploded, and destructive origin power swept out, turning the entire horizon into a sea of fire. The temperature within hundreds of thousands of miles around rose along with it.

The Green Pine King, meanwhile, urged on the green-pine wooden tower. Green wood origin power flowed out, seemingly forming a flood-like sword light resembling a green dragon, which slashed viciously toward the Nine Dragon Sacred Emperor Seal.

And facing the changed moves of the two Three-Crown Kings, on the purple-gold dragon seal, the nine Heavenly Dragons awakened at this moment. Their dragon mouths opened, and in mighty waves they swallowed the destructive flame origin power and the green flood-like sword light whole.

Finally, accompanied by the roar of the explosion echoing everywhere.

The power of the fire lotus completely dissipated, and the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly recovered.

And the green-pine wooden tower also turned to ash along with it, scattering with the wind.

A trace of bewilderment appeared on the faces of the Mystic Fire King and Green Pine King. Then, with slightly complicated expressions, they looked toward the distant figure of the youth and sighed, "King of Ten Phases, the name is well deserved. Today's matter is the grudge between you and the Beast Spirit Hall; it has nothing to do with the Beast Spirit Alliance."

In this initial exchange, both sides stopped at the point of contact. But right now, even with the two of them joining forces, their attacks had been neutralized by Li Luo. If the fight continued, they could only bring out their true abilities to compete on foundation, but if it came to that, it would mean making a true enemy of him.

Offending Li Luo, who was currently rising like the sun in the midst of the sky among the Ten Great Outer Shenzhou, over Lin Miao — this was clearly not worth it.

They looked up toward the depths of the trembling void in the distance. There, after neutralizing the peerless sword light Li Luo had cleaved toward him, Lin Miao had also hurriedly stepped out of the void and arrived, then attempted to join forces with the Mystic Fire King and Green Pine King to confront Li Luo.

But the moment his figure was revealed, he heard those two sighing words, and his expression immediately stiffened slightly.

He knew that the previous strike had already exhausted the goodwill of the two; they would not agree to continue joining forces with him to pressure Li Luo.

Without the assistance of the Mystic Fire King and Green Pine King, if he were to truly fight Li Luo with everything he had, the odds were that he would lose.

Thus, Lin Miao fell silent for several breaths. He could feel the gaze Li Luo cast toward him gradually sharpening; the other party intended to force him to make a public stance, and at the same time use his concession to establish dominance.

If he did not back down, given Li Luo's aggressive nature, he would surely strike without hesitation, and then the exchange would no longer be this probing kind.

In the end, the shifting look in Lin Miao's eyes gradually settled. He cupped his fists toward Li Luo's position and said, "Alliance Leader Li Luo, regarding the Xi family matter, my Beast Spirit Hall will no longer interfere."

The moment these words left his mouth, they directly stirred towering waves in the hearts of the leaders of every faction present.

Even Xi Wenwu, whose face was full of deathly pallor, took a complicated deep breath, and then a trace of exhilaration welled up from deep within his eyes.

Who could have imagined that the most inviolable ruler atop the East Sea boundary would today be forced to yield publicly by Li Luo.

And Xi Li, unable to hold back, slumped to the ground in a daze.

He knew he had become a discarded pawn.

The Xi family was about to undergo a cataclysmic change.
