Chapter 1727: Summoning King Order
The moment Li Luo made up his mind, his eyes held not the slightest trace of hesitation, and the Myriad Phases Wheel in the void behind him seemed to sense his intent, blooming at this very instant with billions of rays of Origin radiance.
In that instant, not only within the space where this Golden Dragon Mountain stood did the vast, majestic energies of heaven and earth transform into countless torrents of energy that came roaring toward the Myriad Phases Wheel.
Even beyond Golden Dragon Mountain, within a radius of several million li, the energies of heaven and earth were drawn into motion, beginning to surge toward the direction where Golden Dragon Mountain lay.
It was as though a meteor shower streaked across the sky.
Countless living beings within this region of several million li were all able to witness this magnificent sight.
And within the space where Golden Dragon Mountain stood, the expressions of Lv Sui and Lv Taiyi also changed sharply, because the Origin fluctuations emanating from Li Luo at this moment had already reached an extremely terrifying level.
"What is he trying to do?!" Lv Sui said, somewhat shocked.
Lv Taiyi was silent for several breaths, his aged face covered in a complicated expression, and said: "With such a heavenly portent, what else could it be? Naturally, he intends to charge into the Unparalleled Ninth Grade."
Unparalleled Ninth Grade...
Hearing these four words, even Lv Sui, the current Mountain Master of Golden Dragon Mountain, could not help but have his expression fluctuate violently.
Because he was very clear about what the Unparalleled Ninth Grade represented at this special moment.
It represented the true pinnacle of the Outer Shenzhou.
Once the Outer Shenzhou could truly produce an Unparalleled Ninth Grade before the decisive battle, their chances of victory would be greatly increased!
But how difficult was the Unparalleled Ninth Grade?!
Looking through the ages, how many dazzlingly brilliant Unparalleled prodigies who dominated an era embraced endless regrets and stopped just short of this step?
"Isn't this a bit too rash?" Lv Sui could not help but say. Li Luo was no longer an unknown figure now; he was a top-tier force in the Outer Shenzhou, and in the upcoming decisive battle, Li Luo would shoulder heavy responsibilities. So Lv Sui was very worried that if he forced a breakthrough and something went wrong, it would undoubtedly cause the top-tier forces of the Outer Shenzhou to suffer losses.
"There is certainly some rashness, but given the situation, he has no more time."
Lv Taiyi sighed and said: "During this period, I have already felt the energies of heaven and earth becoming extremely turbulent and violent, most intensely on the Tianyuan Shenzhou side. I think... that Spiritual Phase Grotto-Heaven is likely to emerge within two months."
Lv Sui was briefly silent. Calculating the time, that Spiritual Phase Grotto-Heaven was indeed about to emerge.
Over these past few months, that side of the Dark World had been eerily silent.
But within this silence, every King-realm strongman in the world could faintly sense that the malevolent Qi flowing between heaven and earth was intensifying sharply.
And the only thing that could cause the concentration of malevolent Qi between heaven and earth to begin to change was one reason: the "Ten Calamity Demon Kings" of the Dark World—no, with the Joyful Desire Calamity Demon King sealed away, it should now be said as the "Nine Calamity Demon Kings"...
These "Nine Calamity Demon Kings" should have already been descending one after another, nearly all of them.
The decisive battle was already at hand.
So Li Luo truly had no more time.
"I will, in my capacity as Mountain Master, activate the highest authority to channel all the remaining Noble Qi within Golden Dragon Mountain to him. Although this may only be a drop in the bucket, it is at least a token of our sincerity."
Lv Sui gripped the Golden Dragon Jade Scepter in his hand, formed seal after seal with a single hand, and then the golden dragon upon the scepter seemed to awaken, faintly emanating a peculiar fluctuation.
The entire space where Golden Dragon Mountain stood trembled in response. From within the towering mountain range erected upon the golden dragon's body, countless golden-coin light-shadows were seen slowly rising.
These golden-coin light-shadows resembled a sky full of stars, and along with the surging energies of heaven and earth, they all poured into the Myriad Phases Wheel behind Li Luo.
Li Luo kept his eyes tightly shut, his hands stacked one above the other forming a seal, as though embracing the sun and moon.
He had long since blocked out all perception of the outside world. The Myriad Phases Wheel behind him was like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring every bit of energy, converting it into the foundation and base needed to forge the ninth Marquis Platform.
Time, accompanied by the rumbling of energy, quietly slipped away.
Before they knew it, another month had passed.
During this period, the alliances of the various Shenzhou suddenly discovered that within the Ghost Domains descended by the Dark World, all the Heterogeneous Kings seemed to have vanished without a trace, with only some mid- and low-tier Heterogeneous beings remaining.
At the same time, the malevolent Qi between heaven and earth in Tianyuan Shenzhou began to grow dense at an alarming rate.
Facing these changes in the Ghost Domains, the Shenzhou Council immediately issued a message called the "Summoning King Order," transmitting it to every corner of the Outer Shenzhou.
The so-called "Summoning King Order" was to gather all King-realm strongmen of the Outer Shenzhou to converge upon Tianyuan Shenzhou for the decisive battle!
In an instant, the world was shaken.
Although many King-realm strongmen had long known the decisive battle would eventually erupt, when this day was about to arrive, fear was still unavoidable.
They all knew that this journey would face a great decisive battle that would determine the fate of the Outer Shenzhou. In this decisive battle, even the King-realm strongmen who were ordinarily revered and respected would be nothing more than a piece of expendable material.
In this meat-grinder battlefield that would decide the fate of the world, no one could claim with certainty that they would emerge unscathed.
But in the end, no one retreated, because they all understood that once the decisive battle failed, the Dark World would completely occupy the Outer Shenzhou, and what awaited them would still be a path to certain death.
So rather than lingering on in misery and dying a coward's death later, it was better to pour out everything in this decisive battle, fighting for a sliver of hope for all living beings in this world.
Eastern Domain Shenzhou, Ducheng of Great Xia.
Lu Lan Mansion Headquarters.
Jiang Jiang Qinge held a broom and a duster in her hands, personally sweeping a few rooms in the inner courtyard until they were exceptionally clean. At this moment, light shone in through the window, and dust motes danced within the patches of light.
Her golden beautiful eyes quietly gazed upon this scene.
Within the dancing dust, it was as if countless childhood memories came flooding in like a tide. When they were young, that little girl and little boy had once laughed and played here.
Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan sat on the steps before the house, smiling as they watched the two little ones play.
These memories were so vivid, yet seemed to have become very distant.
Unknowingly, the little boy and little girl of the past had grown up, and even become strong ones revered and respected by countless people. Yet, in Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart, it still could not compare to the happiness of those days.
Sigh.
She gently exhaled, set down the broom and duster, then walked out of the room and slowly closed the door tightly.
Even she did not have absolute confidence in this decisive battle.
She did not know if there would be another chance to return here, so she personally cleaned the rooms and sealed this place shut.
Jiang Jiang Qinge released her grip on the tightly held door, then turned around. Blinding radiance of light flowed forth, and in the next instant, the casual clothes upon her delicate form transformed into golden battle armor.
The battle armor covered her slender, curvaceous figure, and upon it were many glaring battle scars—marks left from fighting many Heterogeneous Kings over the years.
Jiang Jiang Qinge took out a deep blue cloak. This cloak, embroidered for her by Dantai Lan, had accompanied her for many years, so for this decisive battle, she would carry it with her as well.
The cloak fell from behind her, fluttering together with her hair.
Jiang Jiang Qinge took a single step forward, and her figure appeared in the sky above Ducheng of Great Xia. There, many figures could already be seen standing quietly, all of them familiar faces.
Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, Bai Bai Mengmeng, Yu Lang...
These King-realm experts of the Great Xia Alliance will all follow her to the Outer Shenzhou!
Jiang Jiang Qinge lowered her head, looking down at Great Xia City. She saw the city packed with countless dark figures, all bowing deeply at this moment, and deafening prayers of supplication rose to the heavens.
"May all the Kings return!"
"May all the Kings return!"
"..."
Among those countless figures, Jiang Jiang Qinge saw the Princess, Vice Principal Suxin, as well as Cai Wei, Yan Yan Lingqing... At this moment, all of their eyes were red.
No one knew whether these King-realm experts, gathered here from nearly eighty percent of the Eastern Region Shenzhou, would have any chance of returning after this journey to the Outer Shenzhou.
Jiang Jiang Qinge pressed her red lips together. In the end, she did not say another word, only abruptly turned around, her figure transforming into a streak of flowing light that tore across the heavens.
Behind her, the vast, mighty streams of light swept up the energies of heaven and earth, following closely behind.
The Kings of the Eastern Region Shenzhou march to war in the Outer Shenzhou!
