Chapter 1789: Resurrection Seed

When Li Luo, whose face bore a smile, and the Nine-Snake Great Demon King, whose expression was dark and sinister, reappeared almost simultaneously, the entire Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region erupted in an uproar.

Countless living beings were extraordinarily excited, because at this moment, they had glimpsed a true ray of dawn.

Many of the powerful experts on the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region could clearly sense that, having lost two snake tails, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's terrifying aura that had oppressed the world like a demon god had now begun to weaken.

This proved that its Divine Fruit rank had been damaged!

This was undoubtedly an extremely sensational and shocking piece of news.

Such a feat even drew shocked gazes from the Heavenly Kings on other Outer Shenzhous at this moment; no one had expected that Li Luo, relying on the strength of having forged four ranks, would be the first to wound a Divine Fruit Great Demon King.

And Most Important, Li Luo himself remained completely unharmed, unlike Wang Taixi and the others, who had to sacrifice themselves to seal their opponents.

What an inconceivable feat was this?

Looking at the current state of battle, if Li Luo continued to self-destruct like this and resurrect, wouldn't he truly be able to cut down all nine lives of the Nine-Snake Great Demon King? When the time came and the latter's Divine Fruit shattered, there might even be a danger of it falling.

The fall of a Divine Fruit Great Demon King... this was a feat the Outer Shenzhou world had not accomplished in thousands of years.

Could it be that such a feat would be achieved by Li Luo's hand?

For a moment, a surge of pleasant surprise welled up in the hearts of the many Heavenly Kings of the Outer Shenzhou world.

"What a fine Heavenly King Luo!"

In the hearts of all the Heavenly Kings, sighs of admiration and praise arose.

At this very moment, the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region had actually become the place that drew the most attention from the top experts on both sides.

As for the gazes projected from afar from the various great Outer Shenzhous, Li Luo naturally noticed them as well, but he had no time to pay them heed, merely gazing at the Nine-Snake Great Demon King, whose expression had grown terrifyingly dark, with a faint smile on his face.

"Seven more lives left..." Li Luo reminded it casually.

The veins on the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's forehead pulsed, and a look of frustrated fury surfaced in its eyes. Li Luo's cheating method of self-destructing and resurrecting made it truly feel an intense sense of crisis.

"Die for me!"

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King roared in extremity of rage. This time it had no intention of exchanging even half a word of nonsense with Li Luo, and directly drove its own Divine Fruit rank without the slightest reservation. In an instant, the void behind it shattered, and a sea of rotting, putrid flesh surged and churned forth.

And the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's true body also merged into the sea of flesh, concealing itself within.

Yet, faced with all its methods, Li Luo merely reversed the "Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel" with an exceedingly calm expression.

Aspect Reversal!

Twelve Aspects Emperor Wheel!

The great power of destruction bloomed once more.

Li Luo transformed into a Celestial Dragon, continuing to employ the same method, bearing the "Twelve Aspects Emperor Wheel," and charging directly toward the sea of rotting flesh that swept across heaven and earth.

Boom!

The next moment, the great power of destruction ravaged heaven and earth, and the vast, mighty energy storm evolved into all manner of rare celestial phenomena across the boundless Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region.

In the perception of many powerful experts, the auras of Li Luo and the Nine-Snake Great Demon King vanished from the world once again.

Half an incense stick's time later.

When the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's nearly maddened, furious roar echoed forth, Li Luo's figure also reappeared in the world, sparking an excited, uproarious cheer from countless living beings of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region.

And at this moment, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King had only six tails remaining.

"Li Luo, I've figured it out—you aren't resurrecting without cost. Every time you resurrect, you're consuming your Aspects of Life and Death; their grade is dropping!" The Nine-Snake Great Demon King, having reappeared once more, suddenly roared out.

"Oh? Pretty clever, aren't you? Then here's another one as a reward."

Li Luo smiled faintly, and then behind him the Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel began to reverse and move once more under the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's furious gaze.

Twelve Aspects Emperor Wheel!

The Celestial Dragon bore the wheel, tearing across the firmament, and crashed directly into the Nine-Snake Great Demon King.

Boom!

The great power ran rampant, and the two perished together.

One incense stick's time later.

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King's figure appeared in the world, then turned and fled, intending to avoid its sharp edge.

But the void not far away shattered at this moment. Li Luo couldn't even be bothered to take human form, charging straight out in his Celestial Dragon body, bearing the "Twelve Aspects Emperor Wheel" that radiated the great power of destruction, and slammed head-on into it.

Boom!

It was as if two great suns were gradually dimming and extinguishing within the collision.

Three incense sticks' time later.

Boom, boom!

The waves of destruction once again ran rampant.

In this brief span of half a day, the living beings of the Outer Shenzhou and the many Heavenly Kings watched nearly numbly as Li Luo, through repeated self-destruction, took the Nine-Snake Great Demon King down with him time and time again.

They had never imagined that such a duel could exist in this world.

The slightest disagreement and it was self-destruction.

Then resurrect, and self-destruct again.

Simple and direct.

Such a shameless method made many of the Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings feel a faint tingling of the scalp, because when they put themselves in his shoes, they suddenly realized this was truly a despair-inducing matter.

For a moment, many veteran Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings felt a sliver of awe rising within them toward this newly-advanced "Heavenly King Luo."

In the face of absolute power, so-called seniority held no value.

Because if it had been them, they likely would have already had their ranks ground down to fragments by Li Luo's repeated self-destruction, finding it difficult to maintain their realm.

It was fortunate that this Nine-Snake Great Demon King itself was bizarre enough, possessing nine lives to squander, otherwise the situation would likely be dire by now.

But even so, looking at the current situation, nine lives was merely a delay.

Because... the Nine-Snake Great Demon King now had only two lives left, and at the same time, its own Divine Fruit rank had actually begun to show cracks appearing under Li Luo's repeated self-destruction, and the radiance of its Divine Fruit had grown much dimmer.

This scene made the hearts of many Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings pound wildly. Could it be that Li Luo truly could slay a Divine Fruit Great Demon King?

Boom— Boom—!

The roar of destruction swept across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region once more.

Under countless gazes so tense they felt suffocating, Li Luo, wrapped in the great power of destruction, gradually crushed the body of the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King.

After this killing blow, the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King would be left with only its final life.

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's crimson serpent pupils stared fixedly at Li Luo, whose body was disintegrating within the great power of destruction. Just when everyone thought it would despair and give up, the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King suddenly let out a dark, mirthful laugh.

Its laughter caused a sudden, groundless unease to rise in the hearts of countless experts across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region.

"Li Luo, I've finally found your pattern."

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's shriek, brimming with wild joy, rang out, piercing and harsh.

"There's no resurrection without warning — turns out you prepared the resurrection ritual in advance!"

"You separated your flesh and blood and made it into a resurrection seed!"

"As long as I destroy your resurrection seed in advance during the gap of your resurrection, you will truly perish!"

Li Luo's pupils, which were being eroded by the great power of destruction, shifted slightly.

So it was discovered after all? These repeated resurrections had finally given something away. These Divine-Fruit Great Demon Kings truly weren't fools.

"Let me see where you've hidden your resurrection seed."

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King's cold, cruel serpent pupils swept across heaven and earth. Finally, just before the great power of destruction obliterated its body, its gaze fell upon a city.

That place was... Great Xia City.

Deep within the underground palace at the headquarters of House Luolan House inside the city.

"Found it!"

"So that's where it was hidden!"

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King let out a triumphant shriek. The next instant, its massive body was completely swept up by the great power of destruction, ground into dust and nothingness.

The auras of Li Luo and the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King vanished from heaven and earth once again.

Yet across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region, the expressions of countless experts suddenly changed drastically at this moment.

Because a wisp of black-sun radiance descended from the sky at the spot where the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King had vanished, finally falling mightily toward Great Xia City.

At this moment, the scalps of countless experts across the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region prickled, and then countless streams of light shot into the sky. They now directly abandoned the places they had been about to defend, and rushed toward Great Xia City at a frantic speed.

At the same time, sharp, piercing roars rose into the sky from all corners of the Outer Shenzhou of the Eastern Region.

"Protect!"

"Protect!"

"Stake everything!"

"Protect Heavenly King Li's resurrection seed!"
