Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1236: Forcing Li Foluo To The Limit

13,500 pieces!

When Jiang Qing'e’s clear voice came out, the five golden lotus platforms burst into a huge commotion. Everyone had their wild guesses beforehand, but it hit differently when they actually heard it for themselves. Shock and jealousy filled them.

One World's End River Meteor had been refined into 13,500 Star Pearls. This was a feat that they had never heard of.

In other words, just one World's End River Meteor was enough to let every member of the Dragon's Fang Guardians get at least one Star Pearl.

Even the strongest Envoy, Yuan Tianzhao, could only refine seven thousand Star Pearls from a Meteor.

Although the Dragon's Blood Guardians had managed to get three World's End River Meteors thanks to Li Zhihuo's strength, they had actually ended up with fewer Star Pearls than the Dragon's Fang Guardians.

"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang is almighty! Grand Commander Li Luo is amazing!"

The Dragon's Fang Guardians were cheering excitedly. Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo’s reputation had skyrocketed.

"Hahaha! Aren't Third Brother and his fiancee impressive? In the future, they will lead the entire Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies. No, they'll stand at the pinnacle of the younger generation in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent! Just wait and see, they'll bring the Dragon's Fang Guardians back to its peak!" Li Fengyi boasted to the people around her excitedly with a look of pride.

No one objected to her statement. The 13,500 Star Pearls right in front of them were beneficial to the whole Dragon's Fang Guardians. Even if Li Fengyi had suggested for Li Luo to take over as a Dragon Fang Envoy, the others would seriously take it into consideration.

In the sky above, even Guardian General Li Foluo was surprised to witness this. A stiff smile appeared on his usually cold face. He had truly been given a pleasant surprise today.

He had expected that Jiang Qing'e, with her triple ninth-grade light resonances, would have an advantage when it came to purifying the corruption in the World's End River Meteor. However, he had underestimated the combined prowess of triple ninth-grade light resonances and a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.

Most surprising of all, Li Luo had helped out in amplifying the result.

Li Foluo never would’ve guessed that Li Luo would help bring Jiang Qing'e's purification to another level. It was so frightening that they had refined the World's End River Meteor to three hundred feet.

"Is this what they mean when they say that a husband and wife of the same mind can overcome any difficulties?" Li Foluo whispered to himself.

Then a majestic voice came from above. "Luo Jiang, leave the purification of the World's End River Meteor to Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo. In the future, you will assist from the side."

This meant that Luo Jiang, as the Left Dragon Fang Envoy, was completely redundant now.

However, Luo Jiang simply shrugged it off nonchalantly. He was not a narrow-minded person, and the Star Pearls concerned the cultivation of every member of the Dragon's Fang Guardians. If he opposed this decision because of his position, it would only draw the ire of the others.

After all, the World's End River Meteors purified by him only produced four thousand Star Pearls. Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo could produce triple that amount when they worked together!

There was simply no way he could match up to them.

Besides, he would benefit from the higher number of Star Pearls too.

Li Foluo turned towards Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo and said to them, "The two of you can take a rest for the moment. Wait for me to capture more World's End River Meteors."

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e nodded. In fact, Li Luo wasn't really exhausted. He had only helped out by providing some of his Acquired Resonance Flame. Jiang Qing'e was the main force behind the purification and refinement process.

As time ticked by, the commotion caused by the 13,500 Star Pearls slowly calmed down. The other four Guardian Armies tried their best to purify and refine the World's End River Meteors they had gotten their hands on.

In the end, the Dragon's Blood Guardians managed to get nineteen thousand Star Pearls from the first wave of meteors as they had gotten three of them.

Dragon's Bone Guardians: 8,000 Star Pearls.

Dragon's Horn Guardians: 8,000 Star Pearls.

Dragon's Scale Guardians: 9,000 Star Pearls.

Dragon's Fang Guardians: A total of 17,000 Star Pearls.

The Dragon's Scales, Dragon's Bones, and Dragon's Horn Guardians looked over at the Dragon's Fang Guardians with eyes full of envy. In the past, the Dragon's Fang Guardians would have gotten roughly the same amount of Star Pearls as them. This time, they had skyrocketed in yield!

All of them used to be fellow brothers suffering in the same boat. How had they become so successful all of a sudden? They felt a little pained at this.

Meanwhile, the Dragon's Blood Guardians were currently in the lead. However, none of them were pleased with this result. The Dragon's Fang Guardians were only lagging behind because the first World's End River Meteor had been purified by Luo Jiang. If that Meteor had been purified by Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e, they would have gotten a total of 27,000 Star Pearls!

And that was only with two meteors!

That number was high enough to leave the Dragon's Blood Guardians, who had three World's End River Meteors, far behind.

Li Zhihuo, the Guardian General of Dragon's Blood Guardians, frowned when he saw the low morale among his Guardians. He knew that they had been demoralized by this. Although the Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies were all part of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, their internal rivalry was ruthless. Besides, the Heavenly Dragon Light and Dark Spear of the Dragon's Fang Guardians was with the Dragon's Blood Guardians currently. If the Dragon's Fang Guardians were able to rise in power, they would surely fight them over it.

Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo had truly exceeded his expectations.

If he wanted to narrow the gap now, his only option was to grab a greater number of World's End River Meteors. If he could collect more in the next wave, he would be able to make up for the gap in purification prowess between the Dragon's Blood Guardians and the teamwork of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e.

With this in mind, Li Zhihuo's eyes turned serious. He looked up and peered out of the golden barrier. The World's End River in the air outside gushed past violently. It seemed like the next wave of World's End River Meteors would be falling upon them soon.

Clearly, this wave would have more meteors than the previous wave. As the meteors fell, they zipped across the vast sky grandly.

Huge energy waves could be felt in the air as the void cracked open. Countless massive rifts opened in the sky, resembling giant, black pythons.

The World's End River Meteors then began to fall down one after another. They crashed into the golden dragonscale light barrier, kicking up a terrifying energy storm. Gradually, the meteors pierced through the barrier.

Li Zhihuo was the first one to act. Chilly energy burst out of his body, and the five Duke Bergfrieds behind him slowly turned into icy towers.

He formed hand seals with a single hand, and immense amounts of ice resonant power surged out of his five Duke Bergfrieds. The resonant power condensed in the sky and transformed into an ice dragon with a length of over a hundred thousand feet.

However, Li Zhihuo did not stop here. After the ice dragon materialized, he let out a long cry. Spiritual light shot out from the top of his head, and a nascent soul sitting in the lotus position appeared. Draconic runes could be seen all over the nascent soul.

"Li Zhihuo is getting serious. He's using the Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art!" Luo Jiang suddenly exclaimed when he saw the nascent soul with draconic runes.

"Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art?!"

Li Luo was stunned when he heard this. He looked over at the nascent soul in surprise. This art was not foreign to him as he had come across it back in the Heavenly Dragon Treasury.

Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art, quasi-Destiny-grade.

This art was able to raise one of the user's dragon resonances that was below the lower ninth-grade by half a grade!

"Li Zhihuo has a quasi ninth-grade Ice Dragon resonance and a lower ninth-grade ice resonance. He cultivated this Great Dragon Nascent Soul Art specially for his Ice Dragon resonance," Luo Jiang explained.

Li Luo's expression changed when he heard this. That meant that Li Zhihuo’s quasi ninth-grade Ice Dragon resonance would be boosted by half a grade. It was a little strange to boost it by half a grade, but without a doubt, it would increase Li Zhihuo’s strength considerably.

Luo Jiang's face turned serious as well. "Li Zhihuo must be planning to collect four World's End River Meteors this time. He knows that the purification ability of the Dragon's Blood Guardians cannot match the two of you. As a result, he's trying to triumph over us by taking more meteors. If he can collect four in one go, the Dragon's Blood Guardians will surely get more Star Pearls than us."

"Four World's End River Meteors?" Li Luo frowned when he heard this. That was a competition that neither he nor Jiang Qing'e could assist with.

The weight of a World's End River Meteor was immense, enough to shatter an ordinary Duke's body completely. Even people like Li Foluo had to borrow the power of the other Guardians to collect the meteors.

"Can our Guardian General collect three World's End River Meteors?" he asked.

Luo Jiang hesitated for a moment. "That would be very challenging. He tried it once in the past, but he didn't manage to pull it off. After all, the impact from each World's End River Meteor is terrifying, so taking three is simply unbearable."

Li Luo nodded. Then he looked up towards Li Foluo and shouted, "Guardian General, the pressure is on you now. For the sake of the Dragon's Fang Guardians, go for it!"

Li Foluo lowered his head and glanced over to see Li Luo waving from below. His mouth twitched a little.

This brat was basically asking him to risk his life.

However, Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo had already helped the Dragon's Fang Guardians a lot. If they couldn't beat the Dragon's Blood Guardians because of his performance, he would have really failed them as the Guardian General.

In other words...

Li Foluo’s eyes turned serious as he looked into the distance. Li Zhihuo stood tall like a sovereign of ice, ready to do his utmost.

He would have to push himself to the limit!
