Li Luo watched Li Lingjing, who had once again soared into the air to launch an offensive and engage the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon, his palms clenched tight and his expression faintly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Li Lingjing did not believe that the combined efforts of everyone here would be enough to deal with the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed a fact; currently, the group of high-star Heavenly Pearl Stage experts led by Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, and Zhu Zhu were already beginning to fall into a disadvantage, with people around them constantly being broken through by the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon and directly obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things continued in this manner, perhaps it would not be long before their strength was further depleted, and by then, the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon could do whatever it pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingjing likely knew this situation as well, which was why she had given him a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Luo was somewhat astonished by Li Lingjing’s ability to escape from the black mist, he understood that she had many secrets, so he did not press her for details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, abandoning Li Lingjing to escape on his own was simply not his style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in Li Luo’s view, the situation had not truly reached such a desperate impasse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo stared at the rampaging Corrosion-Spirit True Demon in the sky and touched the scarlet bracelet on his wrist. Although he did not know if he could use the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf to fight this Corrosion-Spirit True Demon—which was also being suppressed—Li Luo still had some confidence; at the very least, he could use this power to take Li Lingjing and escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that this final trump card did not necessarily need to be revealed right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because within this Golden Palace, there might also exist something capable of contending with this Corrosion-Spirit True Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s eyes flickered as he cast his gaze toward a certain location in the black mist. He recalled the \"Lamp-Bearer\" he had encountered earlier; it seemed different from the ordinary disciples of the Formless Sacred Sect. Judging from that aura and the sense of threat it brought to Li Luo, this \"Lamp-Bearer\" must have once been a Marquis-level expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Lamp-Bearer was the person of highest status in this Golden Palace, having once held command here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could activate that \"Lamp-Bearer,\" then perhaps he could borrow its power to deal with this Corrosion-Spirit True Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he could keep the power of the \"Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf\" hidden and wait for an opportunity to strike, which would make him even more certain of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not know if the \"Lamp-Bearer\" could be utilized, he ultimately had to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Li Luo moved, darting toward the location of Qin Yi and Zhu Dayu, and said directly: \"The two of you, I trust you can see the current situation clearly, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of both Qin Yi and Zhu Dayu were somewhat grave; after all, the pressure exerted by the Otherworldly True Demon was truly too strong, and they had also witnessed the miserable state of Qin Ying and Zhu Zhu earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation was gradually becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does Dragon Head Li Luo have any ideas?\" Qin Yi’s eyes shifted as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she did not know what use a mere Extreme Evil Stage cultivator like Li Luo could be against such a formidable enemy, she did not treat him with disdain, but instead asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know if it counts as an idea, but did you encounter a 'Lamp-Bearer' when you came over earlier?\" Li Luo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qin Yi and Zhu Dayu both shifted, and they nodded: \"You also saw that mysterious 'Lamp-Bearer'? We did indeed encounter it earlier; it seemed to be an extremely dangerous existence, and we dared not get too close, though it is said that some tried to approach it, wanting to see if they could trigger some opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo asked in surprise: \"What was the result?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi’s willow brows furrowed slightly as she said: \"It was impossible to reach. That 'Lamp-Bearer' seemed not to exist in reality; no matter what method was used to approach it, it was impossible to touch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu asked Li Luo: \"Are you trying to borrow the power of that 'Lamp-Bearer' to deal with this Otherworldly True Demon? The idea is not bad, but unfortunately, that 'Lamp-Bearer' is mysterious and unfathomable; we don't even know if it truly exists, so how can one borrow its power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo said calmly: \"We have to try, at any rate. Otherwise, if we keep waiting, the situation will only become more dire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi was silent for a moment before asking: \"What do you want to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo smiled and said: \"I hope you can clear a path for me. There are many Corruptors outside; if you help me tear open a path, I will go find that 'Lamp-Bearer' and see if there is a way to trigger it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu was startled and said: \"The outside is filled with demonic mist now. If one stays inside for too long, they will be eroded and corrupted by the demonic mist. You still dare to go out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yi also looked at Li Luo in surprise, clearly not expecting that he would choose to take such a risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Staying here and doing nothing will likely end in death anyway, so it is better to do something. Although this move is risky, it might not be without a chance,\" Li Luo said righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fact that the rune Li Lingjing gave him could protect him from erosion in the demonic mist, he would, of course, not mention it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various complex gazes were cast his way, among which looks of admiration appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu’s fat face was also somewhat moved as he said: \"Brother, that is noble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with emotion: \"If you unfortunately perish, I will definitely go to the Dragon Tooth Lineage to mourn you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo laughed and said: \"If I unfortunately perish, do you think you will be able to survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fat pig had quite the imagination; did he really think I came here to sacrifice myself for you all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Qin Yi’s beautiful eyes also fluctuated slightly. Li Luo was not a reckless person; his choice to go find the \"Lamp-Bearer\" at this time might mean he had grasped some clues. At the very least, this was not a plan he had thought of on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, perhaps this truly had a chance of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Dragon Head Li Luo wishes to try, we can clear a path for you,\" Qin Yi said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation was indeed becoming increasingly dangerous; if Li Luo had a way to break the deadlock, that would be a good thing for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others also chimed in one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will trouble you all,\" Li Luo said. Without delay, after recalling the direction where he had previously seen the \"Lamp-Bearer,\" he identified it briefly and darted straight toward that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, twisted Corruptors surged over, their hissing sounds piercing and harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was no need for Li Luo to act; the people following closely behind unleashed waves of phase power attacks, intercepting them all while gradually tearing a gap in the defensive line composed of Corruptors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the gap, cold and viscous demonic mist writhed, making one’s blood run cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many eyes looked at this demonic mist, all showing fear, not daring to get close or be contaminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Luo did not hesitate; he moved, crashing straight into it under those complex gazes, and then the demonic mist surged, quickly swallowing his figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Dayu watched his disappearing figure and sighed: \"Good brother, you must come back alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in mid-air, Li Lingjing, who was in a fierce clash with the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon, also cast her gaze downward. When she saw Li Luo’s figure disappear, she assumed he had escaped using the black talisman she had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Li Lingjing breathed a light sigh of relief. In previous years, she had been in a state of living death, a feeling that made her struggle as if in a boundless dark abyss, unable to see a single ray of light, until that day when Li Luo came to that desolate backyard that seemed abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely Li Luo’s appearance that saved her from that desperate distortion, and later he even took her to the Dragon Tooth Lineage to eliminate the demon in her heart. Therefore, Li Lingjing held great gratitude toward Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin Li Luo, this Corrosion-Spirit True Demon came because of me. I will drag it here to give you time to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin Li Luo, you have peerless talent and will surely stand tall between heaven and earth in the future. I will stay here and guard your path forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingjing muttered to herself, then her slender fingers gripped the cold Green Bamboo Serpent Staff in her hand. Her eyes instantly became cold and gloomy. Behind her, the huge shadow of the Profound Serpent shifted, transforming into a female shadow identical to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light shadow radiated endless mystery, immediately making Li Lingjing become even more in tune with the energy of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lower Ninth Grade, Profound Serpent Spirit Envoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the demonic mist, Li Luo darted out. The black talisman in his palm had now turned into a faint film of light, covering his body. With the protection of this light film, the demonic mist did not launch any erosion against him, as if it regarded him as one of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s tense heart relaxed slightly, but he dared not stop for even a moment, instead pushing his speed to the limit and darting rapidly toward the direction in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dilapidated buildings around him constantly flew backward, and Li Luo’s gaze scanned everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lamp-Bearer, where are you?\" Li Luo muttered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his voice fell, the hair all over his body suddenly stood on end, and his physical body sent a warning of stinging pain. Li Luo turned his head abruptly to look at the gray-black corridor on his right, only to see an illusory Lamp-Bearer figure walking slowly toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever it walked, even the rampaging demonic mist seemed to hover a few feet away, unable to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s expression tightened; he had finally found it. He hoped his next attempt would be effective; otherwise, he would have no choice but to return and use the power of the Three-Tailed Heavenly Wolf to ambush the Corrosion-Spirit True Demon. If he could not manage an ambush, he would at least have to take Li Lingjing and escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li Lingjing’s original intention was for him to take the opportunity to escape, with his personality, there was no way he would leave her here to fend for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1853,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","68160a10bc1c126a2b0bbbf3aa74c62108b6528649e3b5bd6b351496d0700b71","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-975","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-973",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
