Chapter 958: Li Luo's Discovery

Within the mountain range, clouds and mist swirled, not only obstructing vision but even weakening one's sensory perception.

Li Luo, Qin Yi, and a large group of others surged into it, maintaining some distance from one another while keeping a vigilant watch in all directions.

Upon first entering, they were still able to encounter quite a few rogue cultivators, some of whom were even carrying injuries; judging by their appearance, they had likely been repelled by those "disciples" of the Formless Sacred Sect within the mountains.

Li Luo and the others ignored them and continued forward at a steady pace, their figures quickly obscured by the surging clouds and mist.

This advance continued for about ten minutes or so.

Then, Qin Yi, who was in the lead, came to a sudden stop, her beautiful face wearing a solemn expression as she gazed ahead. The others followed her gaze and saw several blurred figures emerging from the mist.

Li Luo narrowed his eyes to look, only to see that those figures were identical to them, yet they wore the robes of the "Formless Sacred Sect."

Their faces held no expression, and their eyes showed no signs of consciousness; clearly, they were not truly living people.

As these "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples appeared, they did not utter a single word of nonsense. The next moment, tyrannical Resonance Power erupted, and one after another, powerful and imposing Resonance Arts were unleashed, pouring down upon the group like a surging torrent.

Everyone immediately drew their respective treasures and erupted with Resonance Power to defend themselves.

Qin Ying, Li Lingjing, and other high-star Heavenly Pearl Stage experts stood at the very front, blocking the majority of the attacks with their strikes.

Meanwhile, Li Luo, Qin Yi, and those who were relatively weaker remained on the flanks, blocking and neutralizing the opponent's offensive.

Normally, with their lineup, blocking the attacks of these "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples should not have been difficult. However, as the two sides clashed, Qin Ying's expression changed slightly, and he said in shock: "Strange, their Resonance Art attacks seem to contain a special power—this power is actually dissolving the Resonance Power within my body!"

Some high-star Heavenly Pearl Stage experts from other factions immediately echoed: "Yes, what is this power? It is so overbearing!"

Even Qin Yi nodded slightly and said: "My Resonance Power has also dissolved somewhat, though the feeling is relatively weak."

Yet, as soon as she said this, it caused even more people to be shaken, for they all knew that Qin Yi possessed a lower ninth-grade Water Resonance, and her own Resonance grade was extremely high; thus, dissolving her Resonance Power was by no means an easy task.

This "Formless Sacred Sect" was truly worthy of being an ancient sect that once dominated the world; even some ordinary disciples could be so astonishing.

However, while they were exclaiming in surprise, Li Luo's heart was churning with waves.

He did not reveal his emotions, but suddenly clenched his five fingers, and two streams of Resonance Power surged from within his body, rapidly merging into a "Dual Resonance Power."

Within this Resonance Power, spiritual marks flowed, imbuing the power with even more abundant spirituality. At this moment, the quality of his Resonance Power was no weaker than Qin Yi's lower ninth-grade Water Resonance power.

Just then, an attack from a "Formless Sacred Sect" disciple came roaring over violently, and Li Luo threw a punch, colliding with it.

As the two forces collided, Li Luo clearly felt that his "Dual Resonance Power" also showed signs of dissolving.

The Resonance Power of the "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples indeed contained a power capable of dissolving an opponent's Resonance Power.

And this miraculous power was one Li Luo was quite familiar with.

It was the "Little Formless Fire."

That’s right, the Resonance Power of these "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples contained the fluctuations of "Little Formless Fire."

Could the Little Formless Fire actually burn the power of all Resonances?

This shocked Li Luo even more, because he had never discovered that "Little Formless Fire" had such an effect; at the very least, the "Little Formless Fire" he had cultivated did not possess this special trait.

Then, why could these "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples do it?

Li Luo's heart could not help but grow restless. This was an extremely practical discovery, for he had also cultivated "Little Formless Fire." If he could integrate this effect of dissolving Resonance Power into his own, his offensive capabilities would immediately rise to a new level.

But how was this done?

Integrating "Little Formless Fire" into Resonance Power? Li Luo had tested such a simple method long ago, and the result was completely useless.

"Could it be that some other rituals are required to facilitate it? Or perhaps, a more complete cultivation method?" Li Luo pondered.

This was possible. For an ancient and powerful sect like the Formless Sacred Sect, their foundation was likely even more formidable than today's Heavenly King-level factions; their special methods were certainly not easily learned.

However, while Li Luo was deep in thought, the defensive line of these "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples had gradually been torn open by the group, as their side still held the advantage in terms of strength and rank.

As long as they did not encounter those so-called elite disciples, they should be able to travel unimpeded here.

Hearing the commotion ahead, Li Luo reined in his emotions and suppressed his covetousness for the miraculous effect of "burning the power of all Resonances."

Perhaps the golden palace here could provide him with more information; at the very least, he needed to learn more about this ancient and mysterious "Formless Sacred Sect."

And so, the group continued to push into the deep mountains.

Along the subsequent path, they encountered several more waves of "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples blocking their way, and the intensity of these blocks grew stronger. Eventually, people on their side began to suffer injuries.

The "burning" power possessed by the "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples caused everyone a great deal of trouble.

Because when fighting such opponents, even if one had the advantage, one fact remained unchanged: their own consumption of Resonance Power would always be much higher than usual.

Unless one possessed absolute crushing strength, anyone facing the "Formless Sacred Sect" disciples would find them to be a very tough nut to crack.

Watching everyone's miserable state, Li Luo's eyes grew increasingly fervent. He gazed into the depths of the mountains; his interest in the "Formless Sacred Sect" was now greater than ever.

Therefore, he had to enter that "golden palace" today no matter what.

As the group pushed forward wave by wave, they finally began to enter the depths of the mountains, and at this moment, amidst the thick clouds and mist, a faint golden light could be vaguely seen.

A look of excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

But just as this excitement emerged, the clouds and mist ahead began to fluctuate. As the mist receded, eight stone platforms appeared.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone platforms were eight young figures. They looked like statues, their hollow, calm eyes watching the group that had broken in.

Their robes were undoubtedly more exquisite than those of the ordinary disciples from before, and the aura radiating from their bodies was even more tyrannical.

Li Luo and the others tensed, understanding that these eight were the so-called elite disciples guarding the golden palace.

They were equivalent to eight eight-star Heavenly Pearl Stage experts.

How difficult it would be to break through such a defensive line.

Li Luo glanced around; amidst the wreckage, there were many lifeless corpses, and the still-fresh blood proved that many had already broken in here, only to be slaughtered in the end.

"Be careful yourself; I might not be able to look after you once the fighting starts," Li Lingjing said to Li Luo.

Facing such a lineup, even she could not remain relaxed.

Li Luo nodded, and the dragon-shaped mark between his brows slowly bloomed with light, all nine dragon scales within it lighting up.

At this moment, the eight elite disciples still did not speak. They stared indifferently at the group, and the next moment, they formed seals with their hands.

Hum!

Astonishing surges of Resonance Power shot into the sky.

Firelight flickered, and the next moment, it transformed directly in mid-air into countless birds flowing with peculiar flames. The birds shrieked, turning into a torrent that blotted out the sky, whistling down upon the group indiscriminately.

The momentum was terrifying.
