Chapter 1794: Healing Wounds
On the battlefield where Lü Qing'er and Zhen Linshuang were fighting, both women had fallen into fierce combat.
Lü Qing'er was single-handedly fighting against two Great Demon Kings, one of whom possessed two Authorities just like her.
Fighting one against two, Lü Qing'er naturally bore tremendous pressure.
At the beginning, Lü Qing'er could still cope, but later, as the "Black Sun Power" descended to empower them, the auras of the two Great Demon Kings strengthened, and so Lü Qing'er gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At her brow, the Primordial Seed burned with Xiong Xiong ice flames, radiating vast and surging Authority power; on her snow-like skin, faint cracks surfaced, like a damaged perfect porcelain.
But at this moment, Lü Qing'er instead became calm, using her vast Ice Authority to resist the frenzied assaults of the two Great Demon Kings; she did not attack, simply dragging the opponents out.
Because the situation in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou had already reversed.
That Nine-Serpent Great Demon King had already been defeated by Li Luo's hand, and had been successfully suppressed.
The ones anxious now were the opposite side.
And facing Li Luo's such magnificent, dazzling battle record, even Lü Qing'er's ice-sealed state of mind at this moment could not help but show some shock; after all, this was probably the first time in several thousand years that a Li Tianwang of Outer Shenzhou had, without himself perishing, directly suppressed a Divine Fruit Great Demon King.
Such a battle record, even Jiang Li Tianwang had never accomplished.
And Li Luo did not make Lü Qing'er wait too long.
Along with the complete operation of that magnificent "Primeval Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Array" above the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, suddenly two ancient array banners, as massive as mountain ranges, descended from the sky.
On the two array banners, a dark, broken ruin was outlined, as if it were a mysterious exile land from which one could never escape once trapped within.
These were the Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Banners!
With Li Luo's defeat of the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King, the "Primeval Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Array" covering the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou began to operate, and its mighty power could finally be unleashed.
Boom!
The two "Demon-Trapping Banners" descended, directly suppressing the two Great Demon Kings fighting Lü Qing'er; that vast mighty power instantly tore apart the Authority power flowing around their bodies.
The two Great Demon Kings were greatly shocked, hurriedly channeling all their Authority in an attempt to resist.
But Lü Qing'er gave them no such chance; only to see her sandalwood lips part slightly, as vast and mighty ice-blue mist swept out; the moment that mist emerged, her already pale complexion instantly turned as white as snow, and the Primordial Seed at her brow also rapidly dimmed.
That breath of ice-blue mist condensed her own Ice Authority.
And where the ice-blue mist swept past, this stretch of earth became eternal frozen soil; the originally lush undulating mountain ranges all transformed into crystalline Bingshan.
The two Great Demon Kings were even more covered in frost, their Authority power briefly frozen.
The "Demon-Trapping Banners" descended, directly and fiercely plunging into the heads of the two Great Demon Kings.
Boom!
Then the Demon-Trapping Banners transformed into two stone statues thrusting straight into the clouds; the statues were majestic as deities, their faces handsome, their gazes deep as they overlooked the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou — and they looked exactly like Li Luo.
Li Luo's stone statues descended, directly suppressing the two roaring Great Demon Kings deep into the earth, while at the same time their mighty power covered this region, sealing them all completely.
Killing a Li Tianwang is extremely difficult, because the Authority exists together with heaven and earth, able to draw energy from between heaven and earth to endlessly repair itself; therefore even an ordinary Li Tianwang must completely grind away its Authority before it will truly perish.
But the current Li Luo simply did not have that time; he could only wait until Outer Shenzhou won victory before dealing with these hidden dangers.
The magnificent stone statues stood between heaven and earth, overlooking all living beings, like a miraculous wonder.
Lü Qing'er gazed at the familiar faces of those two stone statues, the corners of her lips twitching slightly; she knew this must be Li Luo's mischievous taste...
Cough.
But with the two Great Demon Kings sealed, Lü Qing'er also completely relaxed; then intense weakness surged up from within her body, and she could not help but cough violently, with ice-blue fresh blood actually slipping down from the corners of her lips.
The fresh blood landed on the ground, transforming into countless ice lotuses radiating strange light, spreading across this frozen soil like a sea of ice lotuses.
"Qing'er, are you alright?"
Li Luo's figure appeared before Lü Qing'er, asking with some concern.
Lü Qing'er wiped the bloodstains from the corners of her lips, her Binghu eyes reflecting the ice lotuses covering the ground, and gently shook her head.
But Li Luo could sense that Lü Qing'er's Primordial Seed and Authority were both damaged; throughout this great battle, she had almost constantly been pushing her limits, using Bo Ming Zhi Fa to forcibly hold back two Great Demon Kings, creating space for him to fight the Nine-Serpent Great Demon King one-on-one.
Her fighting was actually also aimed at perishing together.
Li Luo gazed at the beautiful, icy countenance before him, stretched out his hand, and said: "Let me help heal your wounds."
Lü Qing'er glanced at the palm he extended, pressed her red lips together: "I'm not seriously hurt."
But Li Luo did not say more, forcibly grabbing her hand; at the same time, the Myriad Aspects Wheel rotated, operating the Life-Death Aspect, and vast surging Life Authority poured into Lü Qing'er's body.
Upon this examination, Li Luo realized that Lü Qing'er's internal injuries were more severe than imagined — all injuries produced by the collision of Authorities; this was an Authority wound.
It was just that these injuries had all been frozen by Lü Qing'er using her Ice Authority power, but this treated the symptoms not the root; once the ice seal ended, the backlash that would suddenly erupt would be hard for even her, now a Li Tianwang, to bear.
The Authority power radiating vast Life aura spread within Lü Qing'er's body, gradually erasing those traces of Authority collision.
And under such intense Life Authority power, even Lü Qing'er, who wielded the Ice Authority, felt a long-lost warmth rising within her body; this caused her always-ice-cold beautiful cheeks to soften somewhat.
In the end, she stopped struggling, silently allowing Li Luo to do as he pleased.
After roughly one incense stick's time, Li Luo finally released his palm, ending this healing session.
"Many thanks."
Lü Qing'er's eyes lowered slightly as she opened her mouth to thank him.
Li Luo smiled, just about to speak, when at this moment the distant void shattered, and a Sky Dragon covered in wounds came tearing through the sky, finally transforming into a tall, well-proportioned graceful figure — it was Zhen Linshuang.
On her side as well, it was because of Li Luo's intervention that she had managed to seal the Great Demon King she had been battling for so long.
At this point, all the Great Demon Kings that had appeared on the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou had been completely dealt with.
The moment Zhen Linshuang landed, her beautiful eyes looked at Li Luo with unprecedented fiery passion; in that gaze was undisguised worship, and covetousness.
"Master, you're truly amazing." Zhen Linshuang licked her red lips, her expression very deferential; where was the dominance and sharpness she had when first meeting Li Luo?
Li Luo was struck dumb by her calling him "master," and only when Lü Qing'er also cast him a strange look did he force a dry laugh: "Clan Leader Zhen, don't joke around!"
This Zhen Linshuang really couldn't forget that incident in Dragon Abyss, could she? It was clearly just a misunderstanding, yet she kept pursuing it!
Zhen Linshuang, however, said without a care: "My Dragon Race has always admired the strong; today you were able to suppress a Divine Fruit Great Demon King — such a battle record, calling you the foremost person of this age would not be excessive. With strength like yours, even if you were to be my master, I would not object."
Her words paused for a moment, then she said bluntly: "If you were willing to leave a perfect bloodline for my Dragon Race, that would be even better."
Li Luo's eye corner twitched; so this mother dragon was still after his body and bloodline.
Li Luo didn't pick up her words, and instead said, "Your injuries are also very serious. I'll help you heal them."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Linshuang immediately stretched out her hand. Because of her unusually tall figure, she even planned to drop to one knee, lest Li Luo be displeased.
"There's no need."
Li Luo, however, stopped her gesture, then gave a dry cough. With a shift of his mind, his body swelled by dozens of zhang, becoming a full head taller and broader than Zhen Linshuang.
"I can grow bigger," Li Luo said with a faint smile.
Zhen Linshuang's beautiful eyes grew even more fervent, and she said, "What a mighty, heroic body."
Listening to the two of them exchange such brazen words, Lü Qing'er beside them could only take a deep breath, then her face went expressionless once more.
Li Luo gave an awkward laugh, said no more, and began healing Zhen Linshuang's injuries.
After a moment like this, once the healing was finished, it took him great effort to shake off Zhen Linshuang's hand.
"Although I know your injuries have not yet fully recovered, the moment of decisive battle will not tolerate any mishap. So I must ask the two of you to go and assist in the other Outer Shenzhou. I need to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Winds Shenzhou." After restoring some of the two women's injuries, Li Luo also spoke with a solemn expression about the mission.
Lü Qing'er asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"
She knew that Li Luo was heading to the Ten Thousand Winds Shenzhou first to check on Jiang Qing's situation over there.
"No need."
Li Luo smiled and waved his hand, then stopped lingering. With a shift of his figure, he transformed into a rainbow of light that pierced through the void, crossing the distance of Outer Shenzhou at an unimaginable speed, heading straight for the Ten Thousand Winds Shenzhou.
And when Li Luo's figure appeared in the Ten Thousand Winds Shenzhou, his gaze swept outward, and he felt that light filled the world.
Li Luo directed his gaze toward a certain source of that light.
Then he saw a slender, graceful figure radiating an inexplicable pressure, like a goddess of light, stepping on holy radiance, approaching slowly.
Li Luo's gaze met hers, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Because he discovered that those once familiar-to-the-bone radiant beautiful eyes seemed, at this moment, to be filled with a kind of indifference.
