Chapter 1793: Suppressing the Nine-Snake!

The Wanxiang Wheel, flowing with the great power of destruction, reversed behind Li Luo. He stepped through the void and slowly walked toward the Nine-Snake Great Demon King.

And at this moment, of the nine serpent tails behind the Nine-Snake Great Demon King, only the last one remained.

The once world-shaking demonic might had also become exceptionally listless at this moment. Within the light scar at the center of his brow, a crimson divine fruit could faintly be seen pulsing, but the light of that divine fruit had become dimmer than ever before.

After Li Luo cut off eight of its lives, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King had suffered grievous wounds.

Therefore, facing Li Luo who was approaching step by step, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King no longer possessed its former arrogance, and instead couldn't help but retreat two steps, its expression exceedingly grim.

"Li Luo, do you really want a fight to the death?!" the Nine-Snake Great Demon King threatened.

Li Luo looked at the Nine-Snake Great Demon King with some puzzlement, and at the same time pointed at the reversed Wanxiang Wheel behind him, smiling: "I'm about to self-destruct, and you're telling me this?"

He had even blown up his own pond, so why would he care about your fish or nets?

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King was left speechless.

The smile on Li Luo's face suddenly vanished, his gaze turning icy cold as he said, "To protect my resurrection, many king-realm powerhouses of our Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou fought to the point of self-destruction, delaying even a single minute or second. For the sake of their sacrifice, today I must use your life, you divine-fruit Great Demon King, to honor them."

After his resurrection, Li Luo briefly extended his senses and immediately knew that during the time he had been reviving, the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou had lost more than twenty king-realm powerhouses, and the rest who were severely wounded by the blood snakes numbered nearly half of the total. It could truly be called grievous casualties.

Among those who self-destructed, for some whose physical bodies could still partially remain, Li Luo could attempt to resurrect them after the great battle ended, but for some whose very flesh and blood were difficult to preserve, in such cases, Li Luo could only feel helpless and at a loss.

Therefore, this debt of hatred naturally had to be counted on the head of the Nine-Snake Great Demon King.

"Now that your 'Life-and-Death Phase' has fallen to the Middle Nine Grade, I would like to see if, after this self-destruction, you can still resurrect!" The Nine-Snake Great Demon King's face turned savage. Within the blood scar at the center of its brow, the crimson divine fruit trembled, and the vast, surging divine-fruit rank poured forth, turning the entire sky of the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou into a blood-red color.

Li Luo, however, no longer wasted words with it. As his body trembled, he once again transformed into a celestial dragon, bearing the Wheel of Destruction, and charged mightily toward the Nine-Snake Great Demon King.

The current Li Luo, no matter what methods the opponent employed, couldn't be bothered to look at them. He just dragged his self-destructing wheel up and blew them up.

Blow them up and then resurrect—the whole point is cheating.

Such a simple and brutal method of attack forced even the Nine-Snake, this divine-fruit Great Demon King, into helplessness, utterly flustered.

Therefore, this time, when it once again saw Li Luo transform into a celestial dragon and come dragging the Wheel of Destruction, in its aggrieved and furious eyes, a sense of powerlessness also emerged.

"Li Luo, don't be so pleased with yourself. In this final battle, it will ultimately be our Dark World that wins. When that time comes, I will naturally be able to awaken once again!"

In the end, after dropping a harsh remark, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King also urged its own divine fruit, pushing its power to the utmost, and went to meet the celestial dragon that Li Luo had transformed into.

Boom!

The vast, surging power of rank swept out at the edge of the heavens. Along with the changing colors of the sky and earth throughout the entire Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, the auras of both Li Luo and the Nine-Snake Great Demon King vanished from the world.

Only this time, the body of the Nine-Snake Great Demon King directly shattered completely, finally turning into balls of flesh-and-blood meteors that fell from the sky.

These flesh-and-blood meteors fell in various places across the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou. When they landed, the rotting flesh and blood expanded, directly turning those regions into dead zones and forbidden areas.

Countless powerhouses of the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou looked at this scene, and an irrepressible wild joy and excitement surged forth in their eyes like a tide.

Because they knew this represented the shattering of the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's divine-fruit rank, which had broken into fragments and fallen in all directions.

With the Nine-Snake Great Demon King's nine lives exhausted, it could no longer sustain itself, and its divine fruit shattered.

However, strictly speaking, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King had not truly perished. Its divine-fruit rank had turned into fragments hidden within the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou. In the future, if another divine-fruit Great Demon King came to receive it, it could still cause it to revive once again.

After all, the vitality of a divine-fruit Great Demon King was unimaginably tenacious. To utterly slay it was no easy feat. Only by grinding its rank down to nothing could it be truly destroyed.

But regardless, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King was now thoroughly defeated.

If in the future another divine-fruit Great Demon King could come to receive it, that would mean Outer Shenzhou had lost this final battle. At that time, whether the Nine-Snake Great Demon King could revive would no longer matter.

Countless excited cheers of those who had survived the calamity now resounded throughout every corner of the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou.

Whatever the future held, at least at this moment, on this battlefield of their Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, this peak battle was the first time their Outer Shenzhou had gained the upper hand.

Rather than a simple one-for-one trade.

Countless people who had fought through blood and trembling wiped the grime from their faces; so overwhelmed with emotion that they were rendered utterly speechless.

After the excited cheers in the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou had continued for half a shichen, within the headquarters of House Luolan House in Daxia City, a grand and vast aura rose up without concealment, eventually spreading throughout the entire Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou.

That was Li Luo's aura.

He had resurrected once again.

"Long live the Li Li Tianwang!"

Thus, across the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou, deafening cheers suddenly erupted.

The sky-piercing sound waves were filled with reverence and awe.

At this very moment, Li Luo's prestige in the Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou could be said to have reached its peak.

And Li Luo's figure appeared at this moment in the courtyard of the House Luolan House headquarters. His ghostly appearance startled both Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing in the courtyard.

"Welcome back, House Master!"

Also in the courtyard were veterans of House Luolan House such as Yuan Qing and Lei Zhang, standing guard; upon seeing Li Luo's figure, they immediately hurried to bow, their expressions filled with excitement and reverence.

Over the years, House Luolan House in Daxia had maintained its former scale and had not expanded. This was something Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge had deliberately done; otherwise, if word truly got out, even marquis-rank powerhouses would probably fight to come guard the gates of House Luolan House.

However, although it had not expanded, House Luolan House held a transcendent status throughout all of Daxia and even the entire Eastern Region's Outer Shenzhou.

This also made the veterans of House Luolan House share in the glory, all proud to be members of House Luolan House.

Cai Wei and Yan Yan Lingqing looked at Li Luo's still young and handsome face, and felt a little constrained. After all, the Li Luo of this moment was a terrifying existence who could even defeat a divine-fruit Great Demon King.

He had already stood at the peak of this world.

Even though Li Luo always maintained a gentle demeanor when facing them, the oppressive aura stemming from his higher realm of life still made it impossible for them to feel as relaxed in his presence as they once did.

"Sister Cai Wei, Sister Yan Lingqing, are you both alright?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

The two women hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Our strength is insufficient to fight on the front lines; we could only handle logistics in the rear, providing supplies of pills, spiritual water, and strange light, so there wasn't much trouble."

"That's good then." Li Luo nodded.

Cai Wei bit her red lips and asked softly: "Do you know how things are going on Jiang Jiang Qinge's side?"

Upon hearing this, Li Luo raised his gaze and looked toward the direction of the Wanfeng Outer Shenzhou. On that distant Outer Shenzhou, he sensed a vast, sacred aura rising. That aura was extremely familiar—it was Jiang Jiang Qinge.

Moreover, from this sacred aura, Li Luo also sensed a trace of an unusual oppressive feeling.

This made his gaze sharpen slightly.

Sister Jiang Jiang Qinge's pseudo tenth-grade Light Phase had probably recovered further.

"Sister Jiang Jiang Qinge is fine; she is far stronger than I am and wouldn't have fought so desperately." Li Luo gave the two women a reassuring smile, then his figure moved, appearing in the sky. He clenched his palm, and an ancient formation flag manifested in his hand.

With the defeat of the Nine Serpent Great Demon King, the Divine Fruit shattered into fragments that fell across the various regions of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, and the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Subduing Array" here began to operate at full power.

Li Luo held the formation flag, first sensing the nature within his own body, then frowned as he discovered his "Life and Death Nature" had already dropped to the Lower Ninth Grade; if he were to revive again, it would likely fall to the Ninth Grade.

And a Life and Death Nature that had fallen to the Eighth Grade could no longer support his revival.

"As expected, cheating methods still have side effects."

Li Luo helplessly pouted; it seemed he still had to find a way to raise the grade of his Life and Death Nature back up, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recklessly play with self-detonation in the future.

Li Luo waved the formation flag; in an instant, the Ancient God Ruins Demon-Subduing Array was fully activated, and the energy of heaven and earth converged, transforming into ancient mountains.

These mountains descended, completely isolating and sealing the places where the Divine Fruit fragments of the Nine Serpent Great Demon King had fallen previously, preventing them from contaminating living beings and attempting to break free to save themselves.

After resolving the lingering problems left by the Nine Serpent Great Demon King, Li Luo's gaze turned toward the other two Heavenly King battlefields on the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

Those were the locations where Lu Qing'er and Zhen Lingshuang were.
