Chapter 990: Three-Star Heavenly Pearl

On the Golden Terrace, all gazes focused on the last three figures who had yet to complete their baptism.

The first to stir was Li Li Lingjing; as heaven and earth energy surged in torrents, the ninth Tian Zhu behind her began to grow even more brilliant, while the energy fluctuations it emitted became increasingly terrifying.

Seeing this, everyone understood that Li Li Lingjing's condensation of the ninth Tian Zhu was about to succeed.

This inevitably prompted some sighs, for such a genius who cultivated the Nine-Star Tian Zhu was not common even in the Outer Shenzhou.

Regardless, after this Spirit Phase Grotto-Heaven, Li Li Lingjing's name would surely soar; even if not on the Fenghua List compiled by the Golden Dragon Treasure House, her name would be there.

Amidst the crowd's sighs, Li Li Lingjing suddenly erupted with a mighty energy fluctuation, followed by countless energies crazily compressing and converging toward that ninth Tian Zhu.

A few breaths later, when the energy torrent subsided, a dazzling Tian Zhu hung quietly behind Li Li Lingjing, complementing the other eight Tian Zhu, utterly eye-catching.

Li Li Lingjing's tightly closed eyes slowly opened at this moment; within those apricot eyes lay a calmness like water, appearing quite indifferent.

Immediately, she rose to her full height, emitting a shocking energy pressure that caused many nearby gazes to show fear; at this moment, Li Li Lingjing was undoubtedly more oppressive than before.

Of course, the main reason was that Li Li Lingjing's previous ruthless methods were quite horrifying; under that Green Snake Staff, who knew how many skulls she had shattered.

One imagines that when recording Li Li Lingjing on the Fenghua List later, it would perhaps need to add a

line: "Delighted in shattering skulls."

However, just as Li Li Lingjing completed her breakthrough, a thunderous commotion suddenly erupted from another direction, with heaven and earth energy whistling.

Many gazes turned, seeing Zhao Yan let out a long roar; behind him appeared a massive beast shadow several hundred zhang in size.

That giant beast was a colossal crocodile clad in golden armor, emitting surging malevolent qi; its ferocious giant mouth seemed ready to swallow heaven and earth.

This was Zhao Yan's Xiang Nature, Top Eighth Grade, Golden Armor Giant Crocodile Xiang!

At this moment, as Zhao Yan roared, the eight brilliant Tian Zhu originally behind him suddenly shattered; the Tian Zhu fragments turned into surging torrents, which were then entirely swallowed by the Golden Armor Giant Crocodile as it opened its huge mouth.

After swallowing the Tian Zhu's energy, the Golden Armor Giant Crocodile's massive body grew even larger, coiling in the sky like a mountain range; heaven and earth energy seemed affected by it, turning into streams of energy torrents as it inhaled and exhaled, pouring into that ferocious giant mouth.

An extremely terrifying pressure was emitted, causing everyone present to turn pale.

"The Xiang Nature resonates and merges with heaven and earth; this is the Tian Xiang Jing! Zhao Yan has successfully broken through to the Tian Xiang Jing!" someone exclaimed.

The so-called Tian Xiang Jing is when one's own Xiang Nature forms a tighter connection with the external heaven and earth; at that time, the manifested Xiang Nature, amplified by heaven and earth energy, will become extremely terrifying.

Zhao Yan stood suspended in mid-air; now that he had stepped into the Tian Xiang Jing, he could directly hover in the void, far more at ease than during the Tian Zhu Jing.

He felt the power surging within his body, a power that made him utterly intoxicated; although he was now merely in the

Xiao Tian Xiang Jing, compared to his previous Eight-Star Tian Zhu, he was stronger by an unknown degree.

Afterwards, Zhao Yan's gloomy gaze swept over Li Luo, who had not yet finished his breakthrough; with his current keen perception of heaven and earth, he naturally could sense that Li Luo was at a critical moment of breakthrough.

Zhao Yan sneered; with a thought, the Golden Armor Giant Crocodile coiled above let out a low roar, its giant mouth opened, and a hundred-zhang beam of light directly shattered the clouds, rushing toward Li Luo like a speeding thunderbolt.

Li Li Fuling, Li Li Fengyi, and others guarding around Li Luo saw this and their faces immediately changed; now that Zhao Yan had broken through to the Xiao Tian Xiang Jing, this was simply beyond their ability to resist.

Fortunately, just as the energy beam pierced through, a graceful figure holding a Green Snake Staff flashed above; she waved the staff, and a mighty green poisonous light met it head-on, colliding with that energy beam.

Boom!

Violent energy fluctuations swept outward, forcing many nearby to retreat in disarray.

Li Li Lingjing stood before Li Luo, blocking all that energy fluctuation; she gazed coldly at Zhao Yan with her apricot eyes, killing intent flowing within them.

Zhao Yan sneered: "I'd very much like to test whether your Nine-Star Tian Zhu is superior, or if the true Xiao Tian Xiang Jing wins out!"

He stared at the nine brilliant Tian Zhu behind Li Li Lingjing, jealousy flashing in his eyes; after all, that was an ultimate realm he had never touched, and missing it this time meant missing it forever.

Li Li Lingjing, having stepped into this realm, would have a higher success rate in becoming a Marquis in the future, even surpassing him step by step; how could one remain calm in one's heart?

"If you want to die, that's simple."

Li Li Lingjing's voice was cold, without any emotional fluctuation; she

suddenly set the nine Tian Zhu behind her spinning at high speed; as the speed increased, the nine light orbs directly transformed into a halo, appearing behind her.

That halo was extremely mysterious; upon it, complex and ancient light patterns seemed to appear and disappear, while the halo itself seemed to become a black hole, devouring heaven and earth energy in a terrifying manner.

Meanwhile, the Xiang Li fluctuations emitted from within Li Li Lingjing's body climbed crazily.

Many gazes watched the brilliance behind Li Li Lingjing formed by the nine light orbs, and some commotion inevitably erupted.

"That is... the exclusive mark of the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing, the Nine-Star Divine Halo!"

"It is said that this Nine-Star Divine Halo can devour heaven and earth energy to an terrifying degree, converting it into Xiang Li to nourish oneself; with this Divine Halo, one's Xiang Li will be greatly enhanced."

"With the help of the Nine-Star Divine Halo, this Li Li Lingjing feels no weaker than Zhao Yan, who just entered the Xiao Tian Xiang Jing."

"Truly the pinnacle of the Tian Zhu Jing!"

"......"

Zhao Yan's eyes darkened; the mysterious Divine Halo behind Li Li Lingjing made even him feel some threat; indeed, the Nine-Star Tian Zhu Jing was not so simple.

Just as Zhao Yan intended to further test Li Li Lingjing's current strength, commotion suddenly erupted from the direction where Li Luo was.

Many gazes turned, seeing that above Li Luo's head, deep malevolent qi shot skyward; that malevolent qi emitted sharpness and ferocity, even splitting the cloud layers.

A clamor erupted at this moment.

The reason for the clamor was that the malevolent qi erupting from above Li Luo's head had reached ninety-nine zhang!

This is the ultimate of the Extreme Malevolent Realm!

Just as Li Li Lingjing's Nine-Star Tian Zhu was the ultimate of the Tian Zhu Jing, this ninety-nine

zhang malevolent qi was likewise the ultimate of the Extreme Malevolent Realm!

Under the gaze of many, the ninety-nine zhang malevolent qi fluctuated; in the next instant, the deep malevolent qi began to rapidly recede, or rather, compress.

In just a few breaths, the ninety-nine zhang malevolent qi transformed into a deep light orb; within that orb, immense energy, under repeated compression, erupted with extremely terrifying fluctuations.

Afterwards, under everyone's watchful eyes, this deep light orb formed by compressed malevolent qi rapidly split into three smaller light orbs.

The light orbs compressed rapidly, finally bursting forth with dazzling brilliance; three light orbs, shining like stars, slowly floated behind Li Luo.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, with sharpness shooting forth from within.

The Xiang Li fluctuations emitted from within Li Luo's body also, at this moment, underwent a earth-shattering surge.

Behind him, the three newly formed Tian Zhu slowly rotated, like young beasts that had been hungry for a long time, crazily inhaling and exhaling heaven and earth energy.

At this moment, on the Golden Dew Terrace, countless gazes stared blankly at the three brilliant Tian Zhu Jing behind Li Luo.

Could it be that this Li Luo, upon breaking through into Tian Zhu Jing, had already condensed three Tian Zhu Jing?!

What kind of astonishing foundation had this man accumulated before reaching Tian Zhu Jing?!
