Chapter 1792: Resurrection

The moment Seeing Yu Lang's body slowly toppled from the city wall, countless gazes filled with reverence, awe, and grief were cast his way.

Pang Pang Qianyuan watched Seeing Yu Lang's figure with a complicated look. That youth who once stood beside Li Luo in the academy, appearing somewhat dim by comparison, had, after many years, likewise forged an achievement worthy of being remembered.

That blade strike from earlier had been far too dazzling.

Even Pang Pang Qianyuan, a Three Crown King, had sensed the breath of death before that strike.

That blade could slay a Heavenly King!

However, the price paid for that dazzling strike was far too steep—so steep that Seeing Yu Lang could only unleash it by expending every shred of his own vitality and foundation.

And Seeing Yu Lang himself was clearly well aware of this.

Yet he still charged forward without hesitation and delivered that strike.

Because he knew clearly that at this very moment on the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, only he could block this killing tribulation for Li Luo.

That strike was to save Li Luo, and also to save Bai Bai Doudou, as well as Daxia City and the countless living beings across the entire Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou.

Therefore, no regrets.

Seeing Yu Lang's body slowly toppled. His gaze rapidly dimmed at this moment, his vision darkening. He could feel the sensation of his body being utterly spent within him, yet the smile at the corner of his lips appeared especially intense.

"That strike must have been pretty cool, right?"

"What a pity... Li Luo didn't see it."

Before his vision completely returned to darkness, Seeing Yu Lang uttered a faint murmur to himself.

At the instant his consciousness plunged into endless darkness, Seeing Yu Lang seemed to feel a palm pressed against his back. At the same time, a warm, familiar voice came laughing through the darkness.

"I saw it. That strike was indeed very cool."

Within the endless darkness, vast life force suddenly surged forth alongside that voice. This life force swiftly filled Seeing Yu Lang's depleted vitality, and at the same time, a mysterious sensation arose. Thus, Seeing Yu Lang's consciousness, which had originally vanished, once again opened its eyes drowsily from the darkness.

What came into view was still the city wall of Daxia City.

Seeing Yu Lang turned his head sharply, and then saw a familiar figure standing beside him with a smile.

It was Li Luo!

Seeing Yu Lang froze for a moment, then said in surprise: "I didn't die?"

Li Luo smiled and said: "With me around, dying is indeed rather difficult."

With Li Luo's current strength, and aided by the wonder of the "Life-Death Phase," ordinary matters of life and death in this world are indeed not irreversible for him. Although reversing life and death comes at the cost of consuming the grade of the Life-Death Phase, compared to permanent parting through death, this price is not unbearable.

"What a bargain." Seeing Yu Lang said cheerfully.

Having delivered that cool strike and still being able to keep his life—in his view, this was undoubtedly a massive profit.

But then his smile stiffened again, because he felt an intense wave of weakness spreading through his body. He sensed slightly and immediately detected that there was not a single trace of phase force left within him.

Even his phase palace had vanished.

"You dissolved your own phase nature and phase palace with the Primordial Phase Transformation Art. For now, I can only restore your vitality and pull you back from death, but I still cannot reshape your phase palace and phase nature for you," Li Luo said somewhat apologetically.

That strike of Seeing Yu Lang's had not only expended his vitality, but also all of his foundation.

Li Luo could use the Life-Death Phase to revive him, but could not reshape his phase palace.

Perhaps, in the future, if Li Luo could reach a higher realm, he would be able to accomplish this step.

Therefore, the price of Seeing Yu Lang's strike was even more severe than imagined.

Seeing Yu Lang was stunned for several breaths, but then immediately revealed a carefree smile. For what might be the only glorious strike of his life, he had given everything. Did he regret it?

He did not.

To hear the Dao in the morning and die by evening—with his talent, he could never have touched that unattainable Heavenly King realm in this lifetime. Yet, aided by the "Primordial Phase Transformation Art," the Ancient God Ruins Demon-Slaying Array, and the full-strength support of numerous King realm experts, he had delivered a Heavenly King blade worthy of being remembered for a lifetime.

Throughout the ages, among those who could deliver this Heavenly King blade at the Two Crown King realm, he might well be the first.

Seeing Yu Lang patted Li Luo's shoulder and smiled: "Being able to survive is already more than enough."

"You've already walked farther and farther. Perhaps, this is also the last time I can be of help to you."

As his words fell, his gaze looked toward the rear of the city wall, where he saw a female figure streaking toward them with reddened eyes, finally crashing heavily into his embrace.

The sound of suppressed crying emerged.

It was Bai Bai Doudou.

When she had seen the moment Seeing Yu Lang collapsed earlier, her heart had crumbled. She had been in a daze, the world spinning. But just as she was overwhelmed with grief, Li Luo's appearance gave her a taste of what it meant to swing from sorrow to joy in an instant.

Thus Bai Bai Doudou could no longer hold back the surging emotions in her heart.

But then Bai Bai Doudou immediately noticed something off about Seeing Yu Lang's condition: "Your phase force is gone?"

Seeing Yu Lang nodded and smiled: "Being alive is already good enough. Still hoping for more than that?"

Bai Bai Doudou's eyes were red as she said: "So weak, then can your little body still take any more?"

Seeing Yu Lang immediately flared up in exasperation: "What nonsense are you spouting? Even without phase force, my King realm physical body isn't molded from clay. If you don't believe it, come try tonight! Let's see who cries first!"

Bai Bai Doudou's cheeks flushed red, and she punched this utterly tactless fellow's chest in annoyance.

Then she looked toward Li Luo, who stood to the side watching them with a smile, and said: "Li Luo, thank you."

Li Luo waved his hand and said: "I'm the one who should thank Seeing Yu Lang. If he hadn't helped me buy this precious time, my resurrection ritual might have been destroyed by the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King."

As his words fell, Li Luo calmly raised his head, looking toward the sky above the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, where vast power of the Divine Fruit rank began to reappear.

The Nine-Serpent Great Demon King was also about to revive.

However, this time it was its final life.

"Li Luo, can we win?" Seeing Yu Lang also felt that terrifying oppressive force shrouding the entire Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, and asked Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled and said: "I don't know about the rest, but at least... this Nine-Serpent Great Demon King, I can win."

"Damn, so pretentious!"

Seeing Yu Lang cursed enviously.

That was a Divine Fruit Great Demon King, a true pinnacle existence in this world, yet now it was so casually regarded as a defeated foe by Li Luo. Such bearing could overwhelm all heroes under heaven.

Li Luo chuckled lightly, then, amid the reverent and excited gazes of the world, walked toward the heavens.

There, the void twisted and churned violently, finally forming a vortex, and the towering figure of the Nine Serpents Great Demon King, like a demon god, slowly walked out from within it.

But anyone could sense that the once-overbearing Nine Serpents Great Demon King's arrogance had become extremely deflated, and on that sinister face, fury and terror surged forth like a rising tide.

Clearly, the moment it saw Li Luo Cheng Gong successfully resurrected, the Nine Serpents Great Demon King knew that its final scheme, which it had exerted all its strength to carry out, had not gone as desired.

Li Luo's resurrection ritual had not been disrupted.

And regarding the Nine Serpents Great Demon King's fury and terror, Li Luo did not waste words with it; the void behind him churned and twisted.

The mysterious and grand Myriad Aspects Wheel had once again begun to reverse, bringing destruction and finality.
