Chapter 1786: Twelve Aspects Imperial Wheel

The Eastern Region, Outer Shenzhou.

Li Luo's gaze swept toward the other Shenzhou regions. Through the connection of the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Suppressing Array," he immediately learned of the cataclysmic changes unfolding on the other Shenzhou regions.

Wang Taixi had fed himself to the tiger, sealing away the Yin-Yang Great Demon King.

Bai Bai Mengmeng had activated her rank to transform into a terrifying phantom realm, permanently trapping both herself and the Evil Abyss Great Demon King within it, unable to break free.

His father and mother had dragged the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King and banished it into the depths of the void.

And his grandfather Li Li Jingzhe had transformed into a bamboo forest, sealing away the Three-Pupil Mysterious Fetus Great Demon King.

Beyond them, other Shenzhou Li Tianwang were also intercepting the powerful enemies they faced in various awe-inspiring, heroic ways.

Everyone was pouring out everything they had to protect this realm.

Li Luo was deeply worried about Li Taixuan, Dantai Lan, and the others, but he also understood that worrying now was meaningless. If he didn't want their sacrifices to be wasted, then he could only face the powerful enemy before him with his full heart.

If they could endure this battle for survival, once the Outer Shenzhou was at peace, they could find a way to rescue them from the depths of the void.

With this thought, Li Luo forcibly suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his heart. His solemn gaze looked toward the void ahead, only to see the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's demon-god-like figure slowly step out.

"I didn't expect you could actually forcibly break my Divine Fruit Realm." The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's crimson serpent pupils stared at Li Luo, a hint of surprise in its cold, sinister voice.

"However, this still changes nothing."

As the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's words fell, the Divine Fruit rank power emanating from its body grew increasingly thick and vast. Above the entire Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou, heavy, viscous blood clouds materialized out of thin air, so dense that even sunlight could not penetrate them.

And upon closer inspection, one would discover that those blood clouds were actually transformed from writhing flesh and blood.

Li Luo sensed the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's ever-intensifying aura and understood this was due to the Black Sun's empowerment—that special force greatly amplified the pressure borne by all the Li Tianwang on the Outer Shenzhou side.

The fact that Wang Taixi, Bai Bai Mengmeng, Li Taixuan, Dantai Lan, and the others had ultimately resorted to the most extreme measures was also because the Black Sun's empowerment had shattered the balance.

Li Luo's gaze swept over the other two Li Tianwang battlefields in the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou.

Those were where Lv Qing'er and Zhen Linshuang were.

But now, they too were enduring extreme pressure, straining every ounce of strength to contain the Great Demon Kings they faced, trying to reduce the pressure on his side as much as possible.

"Li Luo, you escaped suppression once, but how many more times can you escape?"

At this moment, the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King, empowered by the Black Sun, smiled indifferently. As its killing intent surged, the flesh-and-blood clouds that blotted out the Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou's sky began to writhe violently. The next moment, countless rotting flesh-and-blood giant serpents slowly emerged from the clouds, their cold, cruel gazes locked onto Li Luo.

Such a terrifying sight would have been enough to shatter the composure of an ordinary King-realm expert.

But Li Luo's expression remained unchanged. He only tightened his grip on the "Twelve Aspects Demon-Slaying Blade" slowly, his gaze growing colder and colder.

He understood that the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King, empowered by the Black Sun, was now at an unprecedented peak. Although he had broken its Divine Fruit Realm earlier, it could still activate the Divine Fruit Realm again and again to wear down his rank.

Playing a war of attrition against a true Divine Fruit Great Demon King would undoubtedly be the most inferior strategy.

This was also why Wang Taixi, Bai Bai Mengmeng, and the others had decisively resorted to those extreme measures.

Because as time wore on and one's own rank was depleted, even the qualification to fight to the death would be stripped away.

Therefore, once they fought, they had to determine the outcome!

Then, let us decide life and death!

Li Luo formed a hand seal with one hand. Behind him in the void, the mysterious and magnificent Myriad Aspects Wheel roared into motion. Vast, surging rank power billowed forth, causing the space to tremble violently.

"Oh? Wanting to imitate the other Shenzhou battlefields and take an extreme measure, trapping both of us in a seal to buy time? I won't give you that chance." The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King sensed the fluctuations emanating from the Myriad Aspects Wheel and immediately let out a cold laugh. The next moment, from within the flesh-and-blood clouds, countless rotting blood serpents hissed forth, seemingly transforming into a rain of blood that descended toward Li Luo's position.

As the blood serpents fell, they connected into a net, and another Divine Fruit Realm was about to take shape.

Li Luo's pupils reflected the descent and formation of that "Divine Fruit Realm." He knew the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King was at an unprecedented peak right now. If he fell into its Divine Fruit Realm again, he might not be able to break out using the Ancestral Horn Bow a second time.

Hoo.

Li Luo took a deep breath, and his hand seal suddenly changed.

Boom!

The Myriad Aspects Wheel, which had been roaring and spinning, was forcibly halted by Li Luo at this moment. Then he began to drive the Myriad Aspects Wheel into a reverse rotation, while twelve streams of aspect power flowed out, spinning in reverse.

Aspect Reversal!

The "Ten Aspects Li Tianwang Tribulation" that Li Luo had encountered when advancing into the Li Tianwang realm had stolen his deductions and comprehensions during closed-door cultivation. The destructive might unleashed during the aspect reversal had nearly caused his advancement to fail.

But fortunately, that tribulation had also allowed Li Luo to completely deduce this special technique.

The so-called aspect reversal meant taking one aspect and reversing its origin into another aspect. For many Li Tianwang, this was unimaginable—after all, aspect power could be transformed into one another, so how could one's origin be casually reversed and altered?

This was twisting the rules of heaven and earth.

But Li Luo had done it.

Moreover, he wasn't reversing just one aspect—he was simultaneously reversing all twelve of his aspects!

Thus, the next moment, the Myriad Aspects Wheel emitted a trembling roar as if it had reached its limit. A power terrifying to the extreme radiated outward, causing the entire Eastern Region Outer Shenzhou to seem to tremble.

The Myriad Aspects Wheel gradually ceased its operation, standing silently in the void, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

A hint of horror finally surfaced in the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's crimson serpent pupils. The might emanating from that Myriad Aspects Wheel now made even it sense a fatal crisis.

It could not believe that Li Luo could, with the strength of only four ranks, unleash might of this level.

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's expression turned solemn, and it didn't even dare approach, instead slowly retreating.

"A power like this, you cannot unleash it, because it is too strong—no technique can bear it." The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King spoke in a gloomy tone.

It was, after all, a Divine Fruit Great Demon King. Although it was now shocked by the "Destruction Wheel" Li Luo had conjured, it also saw its flaw at a glance: Li Luo could not unleash it.

Since that was the case, as long as it didn't approach, Li Luo would be trapped in an awkward position—after all, he couldn't maintain such power either.

He couldn't just self-destruct on the spot, could he?

So the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King only needed to retreat slightly, wait until Li Luo could no longer maintain it, and then, taking advantage of his weakness, drag him into the Divine Fruit Realm for suppression.

With this thought, the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's tense body slowly relaxed.

At the same time, mockery surfaced in its pupils. This kid had conjured a great killing weapon, but was going to play himself to death first.

However, just as the mockery surfaced in the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's eyes, Li Luo's body suddenly erupted with brilliant purple-gold light. The next moment, he transformed into a Purple-Gold Heavenly Dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon let out a deafening dragon roar.

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's pupils contracted sharply.

Because it saw the Ten Thousand Phases Wheel, which radiated a tremendous destructive power, slowly descend at this moment, then melt the dragon scales and flesh of the Purple-Gold Heavenly Dragon, branding itself onto the body of the Heavenly Dragon that Li Luo had transformed into like a wheel-shaped brand.

The two merged together as one.

But the destructive power radiating from the Ten Thousand Phases Wheel at this moment was indiscriminate, so when it branded onto the Heavenly Dragon's body, the destructive power radiated outward and instantly caused this body—one that could be considered among the strongest physical forms in the world today—to begin collapsing.

The Great Demon King of Nine Serpents was horrified. Has this Li Luo gone mad?

And in his moment of shock, a ruthless, resolute glint swept across Li Luo's dragon pupils. The next instant, in the form of the Heavenly Dragon, he dragged the "Wheel of Destruction" across the vault of heaven, tearing through the sky, and shot straight toward where the Great Demon King of Nine Serpents was.

Since no technique could drive and bear this destructive power—

Then... he would use his own fleshly body to bear it.

This technique is called—

The Twelve Phases Emperor Wheel!

Also known as... the Self-Destruct Wheel!
