Chapter 1760: Celestial Dragon Thunder Rank

The Celestial Dragon, evolved from ten types of phase energy, emanated a terrifying pressure as it coiled at the end of the Divine Staircase. Its cold dragon pupils held not the slightest warmth just because this power came from Li Luo—on the contrary, the stern killing intent made Li Luo's flesh and blood ache with a faint sting.

"What a monstrous phase!"

Facing the terrifying killing intent radiating from the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend," Li Luo was heartbroken. The feeling was like a child he had painstakingly raised turning against him at a critical moment.

What could he do? Of course, give it a good beating with a stick.

Roar!

And just as Li Luo's eyes flashed with ferocity, the giant dragon formed by the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" unceremoniously launched the first attack. From its abyss-like dragon maw, a vast, surging gale of dragon breath swept out, almost instantly tearing the void apart, like a mighty torrent of sharp sword energy rushing toward Li Luo.

Li Luo's gaze sharpened. The Peerless Divine Throne descended to suppress, like a golden pillar holding up the heavens, blocking the way ahead.

Boom!

As the two collided, the Peerless Divine Throne immediately erupted with violent tremors, and the void at the point of impact kept collapsing.

The Peerless Divine Throne was actually being pushed back!

Li Luo felt a secret shock. From this initial contact, the power of the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" before him was no weaker than a true Heavenly King.

"Huu."

After sensing how tricky the opponent was, Li Luo took a deep breath. The void behind him trembled as the grand, mysterious Myriad Phase Wheel manifested, and as it rumbled and rotated, five phase palaces radiated divine light, and the power of ten phase attributes fused together.

In the end, it transformed into a Super Nine-Rank Celestial Dragon Phase.

It wasn't that Li Luo was unwilling to fuse other phase attributes into a Super Nine-Rank; rather, the Celestial Dragon Phase in battle was not only domineering in power but also granted the physical body extremely strong defense—truly balanced in offense and defense, perfect to the extreme.

Furthermore, many of the Peerless Arts Li Luo had cultivated were also related to dragon phases, so borrowing the Super Nine-Rank Celestial Dragon Phase would greatly amplify their might.

At Li Luo's brow, the "Rank Divine Phase Tree" with a Celestial Dragon coiled around it emerged. He pressed his palms together and abruptly formed a seal.

"God is born within phase; one shall hold the Rank."

"Peerless Divine Qi, refine phase into god."

At his brow, the Rank Divine Phase Tree immediately began to burn fiercely, transforming into majestic Divine Qi that swept out and poured entirely into the phase palace where the Celestial Dragon Phase resided.

In the phase palace, the Celestial Dragon phase attribute transformed into a dragon shadow, joyfully inhaling and exhaling Divine Qi. Eventually, its massive body began to shrink, condensing into a purple-golden divine pill radiating endless pressure.

Within the divine pill, a figure seemed to sit cross-legged, its form identical to Li Luo's, with a Celestial Dragon coiled around its body, its divine might like a prison, inspiring awe.

This is...

The Celestial Dragon Rank!

No, not just that, because within the divine pill, purple thunder also rumbled unceasingly, endless thunder falling down, ravaging heaven and earth.

Those purple thunderbolts actually contained wisps of Rank power as well. Although the intensity was not as strong as the Celestial Dragon Rank, it was nonetheless true Thunder Rank power!

Therefore, the Rank Li Luo had forged at this moment was not a pure Celestial Dragon Rank.

This is the Celestial Dragon Thunder Rank!

This was because this phase palace of Li Luo contained dual phases, so when the Celestial Dragon Rank was condensed, it also caused the Thunder Rank to evolve along with it. However, since it was a secondary phase, its intensity was naturally not as strong as the Celestial Dragon Rank.

Li Luo was now at the peak of Peerless Nine-Rank, so naturally he could, just like when Li Taixuan had appeared years ago, use "Peerless Divine Qi" to forge a Rank. However, Li Taixuan himself did not possess a "Super Nine-Rank phase attribute," so the "Celestial Dragon Rank" he forged lasted only a short time. But Li Luo was different—by borrowing the Myriad Phase Wheel to fuse into a Super Nine-Rank phase attribute, as long as he wished, he could almost maintain the "Celestial Dragon Thunder Rank" for an extended period.

So in a certain sense, in terms of combat power, the current Li Luo already counted as a Heavenly King who had forged a Rank!

And the moment the "Celestial Dragon Thunder Rank" was forged into shape, Li Luo's body also began to undergo drastic changes. His originally upright frame rose inch by inch, reaching about a dozen zhang. His entire skin surged with an indestructible dark-golden hue, and between every inch of skin seemed to be inscribed countless ancient, mysterious dragon patterns.

At the same time, the vast power of the Celestial Dragon Rank surged forth, transforming outside his body into a lifelike guardian Celestial Dragon.

The Celestial Dragon coiled around Li Luo's body, its dragon head poking out from his shoulder, inhaling and exhaling Rank power.

At the same time, purple Lei Guang surged out, transforming into a thunder feathered robe draped over Li Luo's body, with arcs of lightning leaping, making his divine might all the more astonishing.

At this moment, Li Luo was like a Dragon God wielding thunder in heaven and earth!

He stretched out his palm, and an ancient, unadorned straight saber flashed into being—it was the Dragon Elephant Thunder Saber. Over these years, Li Luo had placed it into the fire cauldron of the Myriad Phase Wheel, tempering it day and night with the Great Formless Fire, greatly raising its intensity.

Li Luo's expression was icy. With a thought, the Peerless Divine Throne blocking ahead and continuously retreating instantly vanished into thin air. Where his gaze reached, the vast gale dragon breath capable of tearing the void came rushing at him.

He took a step forward and slashed down with the thunder saber in his hand.

An earth-shaking dragon roar accompanied by thunderous explosions, and a dazzling, brilliant purple thunder saber light swept out. Where the thunder light passed, the void was carved with jet-black traces, and at the same time, the vast gale was crushed by the thunder light in an instant.

After shattering the gale, Li Luo's thunder saber slowly pointed at the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" at the end of the Divine Staircase.

He did not relax just because he had shattered the gale; on the contrary, his face was full of Solemnity, because he could faintly sense a hair-raising crisis from this "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend."

Boom!

Li Luo strode forward, his figure like Lei Guang, heading straight for the end of the Divine Staircase.

The "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" erupted at this moment with an overwhelming offensive, the power of ten phase attributes pushed to the extreme, attempting to block Li Luo's steps.

But the current Li Luo, wielding the "Celestial Dragon Thunder Rank," had reached an extremely terrifying level of power. Even though the attacks the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" unleashed were comparable to a Heavenly King, they still could not block the steps he took.

Thus, the majestic saber light, like a Celestial Dragon's long cry, wrapped in thunderous roars, accompanied Li Luo's figure as it passed, utterly destroying those countless terrifying attacks.

The next instant, Li Luo's figure reached the end of the Divine Staircase, passing right through the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend."

The instant the saber light flashed, the Celestial Dragon formed by the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" had its dragon head slowly severed.

The dragon head fell, shattering into countless energy light points.

But at that very instant, the dangerous aura emanating from the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend" suddenly surged to the extreme.

Its massive body was seen collapsing inward at an astonishing speed. In just a few breaths, the dragon body vanished, replaced by a light sphere slowly rising from where it had been.

The light sphere was about the size of a human head, its exterior covered in countless mysterious, arcane talisman light patterns, and within the light sphere flowed the power of ten phase attributes. These ten phase attributes were, in a special manner, madly eroding and colliding with each other.

That was not a simple collision, but the phase attribute energy undergoing a special reversal.

This phase attribute reversal produced an extremely terrifying fluctuation, so the moment the light sphere appeared, it was like a flowing, multicolored black hole, causing this space to collapse inward.

Li Luo's pupils contracted sharply.

That resplendent light sphere was the source of danger he had been sensing all along.

Such fluctuation... more than one Rank was colliding within!

This was the most destructive killing move of the "Ten-Phase Heavenly King Fiend."

On this, Li Luo sensed... the breath of death.

Boom!

And just as Li Luo's expression grew solemn to the extreme, the dazzlingly colorful orb of light exploded with a roar.

The force of destruction instantly enveloped Li Luo within it.
