Chapter 1817: Wielding the Pseudo Tenth-Grade

The fusion of six phase palaces into one — this inconceivable sight clearly exceeded Li Luo's own understanding.

After all, he had never before heard that phase palaces could even be fused.

However, just as this super phase palace within Li Luo's body took shape, the "Empty Mist Phase" suspended before him let out a strange rumbling at this moment, and Li Luo could even clearly sense that, at this instant, the originally scrutinizing gaze of this pseudo tenth-grade "Empty Mist Phase" had begun to brim with keen interest.

This sight made Li Luo's heart stir slightly.

He knew that his own super phase palace, formed by fusing six phase palaces, had drawn the attention of this pseudo tenth-grade "Empty Mist Phase."

"Looks like this tenth-grade phase is quite materialistic — wants to live in a fancy big house," Li Luo muttered deep within his heart.

Then Li Luo took a deep breath, suppressing the slight surge of emotion in his heart, and extended his palm toward the "Empty Mist Phase" before him. His posture was elegant and gentle, as if he were inviting a girl he favored to dance at a banquet.

There was no helping it — although this pseudo tenth-grade phase was a bit "materialistic," who could blame it, when it was the most beautiful and strongest thing in the world.

And under Li Luo's gaze, suppressing his excitement, the "Empty Mist Phase" before him — which had previously remained unmoved no matter what means he employed — finally showed some response this time.

It could be seen that the "Empty Mist Phase" seemed to melt like accumulated snow at this moment, transforming into a silver-white liquid that extended outward like countless tentacles, actively making contact with Li Luo's outstretched palm.

The supreme mighty power flowed and pulsed, causing Li Luo's body to become incomparably heavy.

If this had been before, with this kind of mighty pressure, Li Luo's physical body would likely have struggled to bear it. But with his flesh being recast this time due to the refinement of the "Ten Thousand Phase Seed," he had actually managed to withstand the oppressive force brought by the "Empty Mist Phase" head-on.

Silver-white light patterns, from the point of contact at his fingertips, surged rapidly into Li Luo's body as if possessed of life.

In Li Luo's pupils, silver-white light welled up, and within just a few breaths, his irises had completely turned silver-white.

At this moment, his long gray-white hair fluttered, his pupils seemed like silver frost, and he carried a kind of solemnity like that of a deity.

Within that super phase palace inside his body, a silver-white flood surged in, ultimately forming a silver-white divine palace. The divine palace sat at the center of the phase palace, as if declaring its rule over this vast expanse.

Outside the divine palace, twelve majestic divine pillars rose from the ground, and twelve streams of phase power radiated outward, surrounding the divine palace like a multitude of stars encircling the moon.

Li Luo slowly raised his head, his silver-white pupils gazing at the world. And at this very moment, the world changed its appearance before his eyes. Wherever his gaze shone, space in his eyes seemed like flowing water, shifting at will with the flick of his fingers.

An unprecedented supreme mighty power filled his body.

That kind of power was even higher than the rank of a Divine Fruit.

This was — the power of a pseudo tenth-grade!

At this very moment, the pseudo tenth-grade "Empty Mist Phase" was completely under Li Luo's control.

He became the third being in the world to master a "pseudo tenth-grade" phase affinity.

The fierce battle in the Star Arena quietly ceased at this moment.

Both Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang stared at Li Luo's figure in disbelief, because they sensed that supreme mighty pressure emanating from the latter.

At this very moment, Li Luo had transcended the Divine Fruit realm and become one of the few remaining supreme powerhouses in the world.

This clearly exceeded their expectations.

"Retreat!"

Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang trembled within, and without hesitation shot backward explosively. The power of their Divine Fruit rank swept out, directly shattering space as they prepared to flee.

However, Li Luo's frost-like silver pupils cast their gaze over at this moment, with an indifferent, overlooking quality flowing within his eyes.

"Seal." It seemed a faint voice sounded.

The next instant, the spatial passages formed by Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang channeling the power of their Divine Fruit rank abruptly froze. Silver-white supreme mighty power seeped out from layer upon layer of space, penetrating every crevice, and directly transformed the spatial passages into spatial prisons.

All their escape routes were cut off in an instant.

Horror welled up within Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang. With Li Luo now wielding the pseudo tenth-grade "Empty Mist Phase," the unfathomable power of space was almost devoid of mystery in his eyes — he could manipulate and control it at will.

But they also understood that if they truly were held back by Li Luo now, they would be left with no path to survival.

"Fight to the death!"

The two gritted their teeth, the light marks on their brows writhed, and Divine Fruits shot forth, splashing out vast divine light. They pushed their Divine Fruit rank to the absolute limit and slammed into the sealed spatial prison.

Yet the moment the two Divine Fruits, brimming with vast power, collided with the frozen space, the latter suddenly cracked open, as if becoming a bottomless pit, and swallowed the two Divine Fruits whole. At the same time, faint mist rose up.

Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang were utterly horrified within. The Divine Fruits shared an inseparable, intimate connection with their very selves, yet no matter how they tried to activate that connection now, both Divine Fruits had lost all response.

The feeling was as if they had lost their sense of direction, unable to return.

"It's the Mist Phase!"

At this moment, even with the temperament of the two, an involuntary trace of terror arose. They also understood — that was the ability of the Mist Phase!

Li Luo had activated the Mist Phase, forming a bewildering miasma capable of obscuring the river of time. Once the Divine Fruits fell into it, they were naturally veiled by the mist, and no matter how they called out, they could not summon them back.

A shade of despair surfaced in the eyes of the two.

They had never imagined that in this brief instant, the situation would undergo an earth-shattering reversal.

They, the dignified Faceless Six, two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings, had been completely subdued by Li Luo.

And it was not only them who were shocked — Yan Changsheng and Su Ying also felt deep shock. They gazed at Li Luo's figure, and at this moment, the latter was faintly emanating a pressure reminiscent of the Sect Master of those years.

Li Luo's silver-white pupils gazed indifferently at the two trapped within the frozen space, and then he extended his palm and gently clenched it.

Space shrank and solidified within Li Luo's palm.

It ultimately transformed into two silver-white spatial crystals, and within the crystals were two tiny figures.

They were none other than Ling Shu and Yin Li Tianwang.

At this moment, they were like insects trapped in amber, fallen into an endless stasis.

"Don't you gloat! When my lord returns, you will all pay the price for this!" Ling Shu was still struggling desperately, while a twisted, ferocious expression surfaced on her bright, beautiful cheeks as she let out a roar.

But Li Luo paid no heed. He casually held the spatial crystals sealing the two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings in his hand, then swept his sleeve, and the space before him rippled like flowing water. He stepped forward, space shifted, and his figure had already appeared within the sect ruins.

At this moment, the sect-protecting grand formation was still operating, resisting the attacks of the many Heavenly Kings of Outer Shenzhou.

Li Luo lightly stamped his foot, and the void trembled. Vast, surging spatial waves could be seen sweeping outward. Wherever the spatial waves passed, the light figures formed by the rank imprints left behind by generations of Heavenly Kings within the sect ruins were instantly erased like by an invisible great hand, vanishing into thin air.

Even the sect-protecting grand formation, accompanied by a wailing sound, seemed to have its connection to the energy of heaven and earth sealed off, and quietly froze.

At the same time, the various rank powers still howling in from outside the sect ruins were also crushed along with the trembling of the spatial waves.

Outside the sect ruins, Jiang Li Tianwang, Zhen Zhong Jie, and many other Heavenly Kings of Outer Shenzhou also changed expression dramatically, because beneath these spatial waves they sensed a terrifying pressure, and they hurriedly reined in their attacks.

The next moment, the space before them rippled like the surface of water.

Li Luo's figure stepped out.

With a casual toss, he flung the spatial crystal in his hand to Commander Jiang and the others, and said lightly, "Commander Yin, the two Divine Fruit Commanders of the Spirit Tome have both been sealed."

Commander Jiang caught the spatial crystal reflexively; the cool crystal landing in his palm was what jolted him awake, and then his gaze stared in shock at the young man before him whose pupils had turned silver-frost.

"You... you..."

Commander Jiang gaped, his face shifting wildly for a good while, before finally forcing out the shocked, excited, ecstatic voice from his heart.

"Commander Luo, you—you found the answer?!"
