Chapter 1740: The Power of Silent Extinction

"The power of the Silent Extinction Visage..."

When Li Luo sensed the terrifying power flowing on Li Li Lingjing's black serpent staff, his expression grew increasingly ugly. At this moment, he already understood why Li Li Lingjing had become what she was now.

Clearly, this was the strike of the "Silent Extinction Visage" within the black coffin, whose grade had reached pseudo tenth-grade.

In the past, Li Luo had also worried about Li Li Lingjing's safety within the Return-to-One Society. After all, there, in order to obtain power, she had to survive one bizarre devouring erosion after another. But he also had to admit that the tenacious ability Li Li Lingjing had displayed in this aspect was indeed unimaginably astonishing.

In those erosions, without exception, she was the one who survived to the end, becoming the victor.

However, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? If the one who launched the erosion became the terrifying existence within the black coffin, under the suppression of absolute power and rank, no matter how tenacious Li Li Lingjing was, it would be nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree.

And at this moment, the last sliver of hope in Li Luo's heart was extinguished along with it.

He could not imagine how, with Li Li Lingjing's strength, she could possibly survive the erosion of the "Silent Extinction Visage" that even Heavenly King-tier experts like Jiang Li Tianwang, these Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings, were extremely wary of.

Perhaps, Cousin Li Lingjing truly no longer existed in this world.

Surging sorrow gathered in his heart. Li Luo's gaze gradually grew piercing. Above his head, the Unparalleled Divine Throne suddenly thundered, triggering vast surging tides of energy.

Boom!

Vast, majestic rank-power poured down, directly shattering the void. Deep within the void, a purple-gold dragon claw with no visible end appeared, sweeping over the heavens, wrapped in killing intent, and directly suppressing the "Li Li Lingjing" before him.

Facing the "Li Li Lingjing" who seemingly possessed the power of the "Silent Extinction Visage," Li Luo did not dare show the slightest carelessness.

And as Li Luo made his move, the dark vortex-like pupils of "Li Li Lingjing" had dark light flowing within them. The next moment, nine black Marquis Platforms appeared in the void behind her, each Marquis Platform bearing ten pillars.

Nine Marquis Platforms with ten pillars each — truly Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle!

This scene, falling into the eyes of the Outer Shenzhou allied forces, could not help but make their hearts grow heavy.

Nine ten-pillar Marquis Platforms stood behind "Li Li Lingjing." Bizarre black light intertwined, and an equally towering, dark Unparalleled Divine Throne condensed into being. Black halos, like ripples, slowly spread outward with the Divine Throne as their source.

The black halos seemed to possess a kind of indescribably bizarre power. Wherever they passed, all vitality was erased; even the active heaven and earth energy lost its vitality.

Like a halo of silent extinction!

Under countless shocked gazes, the purple-gold dragon claw formed from Li Luo's vast, majestic rank-power collided with the black halo.

The instant they made contact, the purple-gold dragon claw began to dim at a startling speed. The indestructible dragon scales upon it weathered even faster, turning into black powder that scattered on the wind.

On the black halo, the power of silent extinction transformed into countless jet-black tentacles that stretched upward, and in just a few breaths, they had completely wrapped around the heaven-covering purple-gold dragon claw.

Under the erosion of silent extinction, the purple-gold dragon claw was ultimately reduced to a skyful of black powder.

Li Luo's gaze hardened, his expression growing extremely solemn: "What an overbearing Silent Extinction rank!"

Although both sides were currently at the same level, the Silent Extinction rank of "Li Li Lingjing" was faintly a step above Li Luo's, so under the erosion of this rank-power, the Silent Extinction rank held an absolute upper hand.

Li Luo understood that this was because this Silent Extinction rank originated from that "Silent Extinction Visage," and the latter was not a super ninth-grade, but a "pseudo tenth-grade"!

Back then in the Ducheng of Daxia, even one of the Faceless Six, the "Pill Saint," had been thoroughly humiliated by the Silent Extinction Visage within the black coffin. The main reason was also because the opponent's "pseudo tenth-grade" rank — one of only two in this world — was too overbearing.

And although the "Li Li Lingjing" before him was merely a vessel carrying a tiny fraction of its power, the grade of the affinity was there, so it could still bring her an absolute advantage.

Li Luo took a deep breath, his gaze growing increasingly fierce. At the same time, the void behind him trembled, and the vast, majestic, boundless Ten Thousand Visages Wheel slowly appeared. At the edge of the Ten Thousand Visages Wheel, ten ancient divine seal scripts shone brighter than ever before, like ten blazing suns.

And within the Ten Thousand Visages Wheel, five Visage Palaces emitted heaven-shaking thunderous roars.

Countless gazes lifted in horror, only to see the heavens now showing signs of collapse. Layer upon layer of void was continuously crushed, and indescribably destructive sword light seeped out from the depths of space.

As countless sword lights intertwined, faintly, it seemed as if a mysterious, grand, terrifying sword formation was slowly emerging from the depths of the void.

That was...

The All-Visages Dragon Fang Sword Formation!

And as Li Luo's confrontation with "Li Li Lingjing" turned white-hot, the evil-thought origin on the Massacre Demon King's side was still continuing to surge wildly.

Bright King Qi Huang attempted to interrupt it, but returned empty-handed. By now, a vast torrent of evil thoughts had already formed around the Massacre Demon King, resisting all external attacks.

However, as time went on, the surging evil-thought origin of the Massacre Demon King also began to show signs of decline. This scene, instead, made many of the allied experts involuntarily heave a sigh of relief.

Clearly, even after devouring the slaughter origin on the battlefield and the origins of the three Calamity Demon Kings, the Massacre Demon King still had not been able to completely take that step.

And after sensing the slowing of his own origin's growth, the Massacre Demon King's brow also furrowed slightly. After absorbing the core origins of the three Calamity Demon Kings, he still had not completely taken that step?

Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle — truly as hard as ascending to the heavens.

The Massacre Demon King raised his head, his gaze filled with wariness as he glanced at the distant clash between Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacles. In the current situation, both the Outer Shenzhou and the Return-to-One Society had produced Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacles. If their Dark World side still could not give birth to an Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle, then when the "Withering-Flourishing Visage" emerged later, what would they use to contest it with them?

Therefore, today's Unparalleled Nine-Pinnacle, no matter how great the price, had to be stepped into.

The Massacre Demon King's palm slowly tightened around the blood-red "Nine-Pupil Blade." On his refined, gentle face, endless brutality and killing intent surged forth.

The next moment, a low voice resounded across the horizon.

"Illusion Calamity!"

"Madness Calamity!"

"It's your turn!"

When this voice fell, the "Nine-Pupil Blade" in his hand let out a bizarre shriek. The shriek was vast and mighty, and faintly, it seemed to contain some kind of special power.

And the Illusion Calamity Demon King and Madness Calamity Demon King, who were fiercely clashing with Jiang Jiang Qinge and Zhen Linshuang, upon hearing this shriek, their bodies — under the astonished gazes of the latter two — began to crack open with countless fissures.

The two Calamity Demon Kings sensed the drastic change in their bodies and both let out uneasy roars. They seemed to want to resist, but their chests burst open, and two flesh-and-blood talismans actually drilled out from within.

These two flesh-and-blood talismans, carrying the core evil-thought origins within them, directly broke through the air and departed.

And as the flesh-and-blood talismans flew away, these two Calamity Demon Kings, whose strength was comparable to extreme-peak Triple-Crown Kings, actually self-ignited without fire, and in a series of shrill shrieks, were burned to ashes.

The two flesh-and-blood talismans were then devoured once more by the blood blade in the Massacre Demon King's hand.

The next moment, the Massacre Demon King's originally stagnant origin fluctuations began to surge wildly once more. Finally, under countless gazes of utmost horror from the Outer Shenzhou allied forces, a streak of blood-colored slaughter light shot up into the sky.

The blood light was vast beyond measure, visible for a million miles.

After a few breaths, the blood-colored slaughter light dissipated.

But a bone-chilling cold crept up into the hearts of the allied experts at this moment.

Even top experts like Ling Zhu Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu had their pupils trembling with fear, because as the blood light dissipated, a blood-red throne stood quietly in the void above.

The Slaughter rank-power was wantonly splashing forth its might, driving the battlefield to even greater frenzy.

And upon the blood-red throne, the Massacre Demon King held his blood blade, like a demon god, with endless ferocity, looking down upon the battlefield.

An overwhelming sense of despair welled up in the hearts of countless allied forces.

The Dark World's Unparalleled Ninth Grade had ultimately been born after all.

And relying solely on Li Luo, could he truly stop two ferocious demons?!

Boom!

But just as everyone was horrified by the Massacre Demon King stepping into Unparalleled Ninth Grade, the heaven and earth energy above the Heavenly Star Great Plains suddenly became violently turbulent as never before.

Such a violent disturbance caused even Li Luo and "Li Li Lingjing," who were facing off, to involuntarily turn their heads, casting their gazes toward the source of the energy upheaval.

That was... the Spirit Phase Grotto-Heaven.

The firmament there was shattering, and from the deepest depths of the void, two vast, mighty forces were surging forth. Faintly, some saw that at the end of those mighty forces, the shadow of a miraculous fruit emerged.

Withering-Flourishing Phase!

At this moment, it had manifested in the world.
