Terrifying roars of energy echoed incessantly within the vast golden hall, causing the very ground to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo frowned as he gazed in the direction from which the energy fluctuations originated, then he glanced at Qin Yi. If one of these two energy fluctuations belonged to Li Lingjing, then who was the other one capable of contending with her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it that Qin Ying or Zhu Zhu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo pondered this, then turned his gaze toward the scene. At this moment, that group of strange rogue cultivators was locked in a melee with the \"Guardian Spirits.\" Since both sides lacked intelligence, no one retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers on both sides were rapidly dwindling, and the brutal scene made the eyelids of Li Luo and his two companions twitch slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the casualties on both sides mounted, the threat they posed to Li Luo and his companions began to diminish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare to move. The commotion here is quite significant, and I fear it will attract others if we drag this out,\" Li Luo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept toward the center of the battlefield, where a stone cup lay quietly. The golden light circulating within it made the three of them glance at it repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Golden Dew of Spirit Phase\" inside was their true objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two had no objections upon hearing this, so the three of them unleashed their full strength. They first joined forces with the strange rogue cultivators to strike at the many \"Guardian Spirits,\" and once the Guardian Spirits were completely wiped out, they shifted their firepower to clear away the strange rogue cultivators as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten-odd minutes later, the area outside the side hall, which had been filled with the scent of blood, returned to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo glanced at the dead rogue cultivators. The blood flowing from their wounds was tinged with a faint, pitch-black hue, giving off a cold and ominous feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condition of these rogue cultivators was somewhat similar to being tainted by Otherkind, but the details seemed slightly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had no time to ponder the cause of these rogue cultivators' changes, because as the trouble was resolved, the gazes of the three present were all cast toward the stone cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gave a light cough, looked at Qin Yi, and asked, \"How does Fairy Qin think this 'Golden Dew of Spirit Phase' should be distributed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, \"You and I arrived here first, so logically, it should be split equally between us. As for Brother Zhu, not only did he make no contribution, but he also attracted a group of strange rogue cultivators. By any standard of reason or emotion, does he have any grounds to lay a finger on the Golden Dew of Spirit Phase?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhu Dayu’s chubby face immediately fell. He wanted to flare up, but knowing how formidable Qin Yi was, he could only look at Li Luo with a mournful expression and say, \"Brother Li Luo, I was covered in bloody holes just to hold off those rogue cultivators. Even if I have no merit, I have at least put in the effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo thought for a moment and said, \"Fairy Qin, although Zhu Dayu did attract the rogue cultivators, if it weren't for them, we would have had to expend more effort dealing with the 'Guardian Spirits.' So, I think we should each take forty percent of the 'Golden Dew of Spirit Phase' here and allocate twenty percent to him. How about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhu Dayu immediately rejoiced, \"Brother Li Luo is righteous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only twenty percent, it was better than nothing. The two people before him were both more troublesome than the other; being able to get a share from them already left Zhu Dayu quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, although he appeared foolishly fat, he was actually as clear-headed as a mirror. Currently, Li Luo and Qin Yi were harmonious on the surface but at odds at heart, and both were actually wary of each other. Li Luo helping him was more about wanting to use his strength to pressure Qin Yi, or rather, to break some of the balance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi’s gaze flickered, and she said indifferently, \"Dragon Head Li Luo really wants me to play the villain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was intelligent and sharp, and she had indeed sensed some of Li Luo's hidden intentions. Perhaps he was hoping she would oppose this proposal; if so, Li Luo would have a reason to incite Zhu Dayu to join forces with him to deal with her, and in that case, he might even be able to snatch her share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhu Dayu’s strength was not weak. If he joined forces with Li Luo, Qin Yi felt that she might truly have to endure and concede today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly and said calmly, \"Then let us distribute it as Dragon Head Li Luo suggested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be truly unwise to make an enemy of Zhu Dayu for the sake of that extra ten percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Luo wore a beaming smile, but a flash of disappointment crossed his heart. This Qin Yi was truly cautious and forbearing; she wouldn't give him a single chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he beckoned with his hand, and as his phase power surged, he directly swept the stone cup over. Under the gaze of the other two, he took out all the \"Golden Dew of Spirit Phase\" inside and made the distribution as previously agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Li Luo obtained twenty-five drops of Golden Dew of Spirit Phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This harvest made Li Luo sigh inwardly. If he could have enjoyed all these drops of Golden Dew of Spirit Phase by himself, his harvest this time would have truly been overflowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dividing the Golden Dew of Spirit Phase, Li Luo looked at the two and asked, \"Do the two of you wish to explore together next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu hurriedly said, \"I'll go with you. Those rogue cultivators are quite strange; traveling together allows us to look out for one another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi smiled faintly and said, \"I appreciate the kind offer, but I will go find my clan brother first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't be sure what kind of collusion existed between Li Luo and Zhu Dayu, so she didn't want to risk traveling with them, lest she be ambushed and find herself in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she drifted away gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo watched her retreating figure and sighed, \"What a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu nodded in deep agreement and said, \"Fairy Qin’s reputation is known throughout the Heavenly Origin, so it is indeed a pity not to be able to travel with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo shook his head and said, \"I regret the Golden Dew of Spirit Phase she took away. If she had traveled with us, we could have found an opportunity to rob her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu paused and said, \"How vulgar! Such a beauty—one should cherish her, how could you have such sinister thoughts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said, \"She has at least seventy or eighty drops of Golden Dew of Spirit Phase in her hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu was silent for a second, then said, \"Is it too late to chase after her now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gave him a look that was not quite a smile, but he couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind. Instead, he turned and sped off in the direction from which the previous terrifying energy fluctuations had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu hurriedly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two moved rapidly through the complex environment of the golden hall. At this time, these areas were already becoming chaotic; not only were people from all sides fighting over the Golden Dew of Spirit Phase, but \"Guardian Spirits\" were also slaughtering everywhere. Of course, those strange rogue cultivators, as if tainted by Otherkind, were also emerging incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were battles everywhere; it had turned into a complete mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people even had their eyes on Li Luo and Zhu Dayu, but after the two displayed their destructive, sweeping methods, they deterred those with ill intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for some of the powerful Heavenly Pearl Stage experts who had reached the four-star or even five-star level, they maintained their sanity out of fear of the two's identities and did not strike lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, \"Golden Dew of Spirit Phase\" was everywhere, so it wasn't worth it to provoke these two clearly difficult thorns. After all, as geniuses from the Heavenly King Lineages, no one could be sure if they had any terrifying life-saving items in their possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under these circumstances, Li Luo and Zhu Dayu were able to traverse the golden hall quite smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Luo gradually approached the location where the previous energy fluctuations had erupted, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stopped. At this moment, an extremely terrifying energy storm suddenly erupted from the position ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intensity of that energy was even more terrifying than the previous wave. Li Luo and Zhu Dayu were directly shaken back in a disheveled state, their internal blood and Qi surging violently, while the surrounding buildings began to crack incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of thing is colliding?!\" Zhu Dayu said in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked up at the area not far away, seeing the courtyards and houses there constantly collapsing, with terrifying energy shockwaves ravaging the area. Of those two energy forces, one belonged to Li Lingjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was currently locked in a battle with an extremely terrifying foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of worry appeared in Li Luo’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed all his phase power to resist the impact of the energy storm. After a good while, the storm finally began to subside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Li Luo saw what appeared to be a black mist, unsettling and ominous, rising into the sky from that direction, only to vanish into thin air a few seconds later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo frowned, then gritted his teeth and rushed out at an increased speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Li Luo, it's too dangerous over there, we shouldn't get any closer!\" Zhu Dayu saw this and hurriedly advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Luo ignored him, his speed actually increasing instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and used his speed to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With both of them at full speed, they finally arrived at the site of the energy eruption a few minutes later. They saw the devastation everywhere, the surrounding buildings destroyed, and the residual energy fluctuations were enough to make one’s heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked toward a dilapidated corridor ahead, which was shrouded in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the dark shadows, Li Luo saw a familiar, motionless female figure standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Li Lingjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo walked over slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Li Luo, don't go over! She’s not right; the aura on her is a bit like the rogue cultivators we met earlier!\" Zhu Dayu’s chubby face was dripping with sweat as he said urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved his hand and said, \"Brother Zhu, wait for me here for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to confirm Li Lingjing's condition; he couldn't just leave her here and ignore her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked step by step into the cold darkness, then stopped and said softly, \"Cousin Lingjing? Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female figure did not answer, her fair cheeks hidden in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingjing’s condition seemed somewhat wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo took a deep breath, then decisively walked up. He reached his hand into the darkness and grabbed Li Lingjing’s wrist. The cold, chilling aura he felt made Li Luo’s heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw Li Lingjing in the darkness suddenly open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those beautiful almond eyes, which had always carried a gentle smile, there were now countless negative emotions—tyrannical, dark, chaotic, and murderous—surging out like a tide, enough to make one’s hair stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>",1991,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ae889727ab333b37f7a2a5412f2c7e11528436409a14e8f1039d9d30c7474970","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-968","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-966",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
