Absolute ResonanceAbsolute Resonance
When the scene representing the saying, "Calamity Mist Flows, Ten Thousand Streams Return to the Source", the entire World End's River Region began to shake from its very core. It was at that point where the depressed yet peaceful atmosphere completely ended.
In the numerous stronghold cities, pillars of light erupted, blanketing the sky as they all rushed towards the southwestern area, deep within the World End's River Region.
The originally thin Calamity Mist that covered the world had transformed into huge columns of black smoke that seemed as though it was being sucked back into the World End's River. So long as one avoided these smoke columns, they would be able to travel unobstructed.
This was the safest the World End's River Region would ever be.
However, it also preceded the opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain and that peace would soon be enveloped by the disastrous and chaotic winds that would soon blow.
It was as if the World End's River was taking a brief breather in preparation of the Stygian Rain of Calamity that would come.
The numerous powers had to quickly take advantage of this situation and reap the harvest of the World End's River Treasure Domain quickly. The resources there were something even a Heavenly Emperor power would die for.
Furthermore the greatly prized top grade Foundational Spirit Treasures could possibly appear there as well.
The atmosphere within Heavenly Dragon City was similarly bustling as numerous beams of light shot into the sky, traveling into the distance towards the World End's River Treasure Domain.
Meanwhile the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's people were gathering in the quickest amount of time possible.
This would be an impressive party with Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng, two eighth-grade Dukes leading the pack. After which the numerous lineage's mid tier powers like Li Jinpan, Ox Biaobiao, Li Rouyun, Li Zhiqiu and the other sixth and seventh-grade Dukes were also right behind them.
Behind them were the likes of Li Zhihuo and Li Foluo, the Guardian Generals.
Li Luo and the rest in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage were considered to be the bottom when it came to this army. Normally speaking, they would only be able to share in the scraps left behind. That said, this should be more than enough for them.
In the past there were many Greater Heavenly Resonance stage Guardians who had undergone many trials and arduous hardships within the World End's River Treasure Domain, only to take advantage of a prized opportunity, entering the Duke stage. "Let's move." Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng glanced at each other before their words were transmitted into the entire army's ears.
The two then shot into the sky with the rest trailing behind, creating pillars of light in their wake. This majestic momentum caught the eyes of the experts below, leaving them in admiration and awe. This was the might of a Heavenly Emperor power, they were simply not the same.
Atop the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, Li Jingzhe stood there watching calmly with his hands behind his back. His gaze lingered on Li Luo's figure as he vanished into the distance.
He knew that Li Luo had already reached the peak of the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage and at the same time was looking to reach perfection as well. After all, his goal was a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried and he wanted to match Jiang Qing'e's own achievements.
This was something he admired about him, how he courageously and heroically chased his goals.
"Li Luo, your potential and talent is no weaker than Qing'e's. In the past you were used to keeping a low profile, hiding in her shadows but after you reach the Duke stage, I'm afraid even Qing'e might not be able to overshadow your radiance. The Duke stage is where you will truly show your capabilities. Let your light shine as brightly as you wish and the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent will look up to you. Meanwhile those cretins who covet you in the shadows... just leave it to this old man. All those years ago I was unable to protect Taixuan but now i'll be the one who will keep you safe. No matter who it is, they won't be able to touch you if they stand before me." Basking in the afterglow of the sun, the old man's usually cold and solemn face seemed to contain a touch of gentleness.
...
The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's large squad travelled quickly without pause. After almost a day, they had approached the depths of the southwestern area of the World End's River Region.
As he arrived, Li Luo could feel that the entire area was stained red and black and the terrain was complex. There were large mountains blocking the road forward, seemingly capable of cutting the sky apart whilst large pits dotted the area which reminded one of a maze. There was even a gigantic tree the size of a mountain that quietly stood tall for an uncountable number of years.
Usually, the entire area was also flooded with Calamity Mist and Others were hiding in the shadows. Thus a normal cultivator would not dare to venture into this location casually. That said, with the Calamity Mist returning back to the source, the World End's River, everything had turned calm.
The traces of Others had also vanished completely.
That said, there was a gloomy atmosphere that permeated the area, causing one to feel uncomfortable.
In the end, under Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng's orders, the large squad descended upon a plateau atop a mountain.
"We have arrived at the World End's River Treasure Domain." Hearing Li Qingpeng's words, Li Luo raised his head to look forward as his eyes shrunk slightly. On the endless mountainous plains before him, there seemed to be a bottomless dark basin. It was like the maw of an apocalyptic beast, capable of swallowing up everything and anything.
At this time, there were numerous black tornado-like water columns that were ascending into the skies within the basin, connecting to the World End's River as the water flowed away.
"The World End's River Treasure Domain is the deepest part of the World End's River Region. It is said that boundless amounts of World End's River gathered here and in the past, this plain was actually an endless sea. Even high grade Dukes dared to enter its depths. Only during the point where "Calamity Mist Flows, Ten Thousand Streams Return to the Source", will this water be sucked back into the World End's River. As a result, it turns into an abyss which also gives us an opportunity to enter." Li Jinpan explained upon seeing Li Luo's shocked expression and his first time here. "So it turns out this was a sea!" Li Luo sighed as he continued to admire the nigh bottomless basin.
Jiang Qing'e who was beside him looked solemnly at the humongous recess in the ground. With her acute ability to sense corruption, she could feel that this bottomless abyss contained corruption that caused her hair to stand on end.
"There are terrifying Others who hide within." Jiang Qing'e lightly reminded.
Li Jinpan's expression turned serious as well. "The World End's River Treasure Domain is the most dangerous region within the World End's River Region. In a normal situation, there would be an endless flood of Others that hide within. At the same time, they would
consume and devour each other, forming all sorts of creatures of all shapes and sizes. Gradually, many terrifying Others were born as a result. If I were to put it bluntly, half of the Others within the entire World End's River Region can be found here."
Li Jinpan then pointed towards the void a distance away. "Look there."
Li Luo turned in that direction as he squinted his eyes. What he saw surprised him. Floating in the void was a golden talisman which exuded a faint light.
This golden talisman seemed ordinary but for some inscrutable reason, Li Luo could feel as though the entire world was being suppressed by it.
He felt an indescribable sense of respect from the depths of his soul just looking at it.
"Is that a Heavenly Emperor Talisman?" Li Luo lightly sucked in a breath of air as he asked.
This pressure was something he didn't even sense from Li Jingzhe and that was a Quasi-Triple Crown King! The only ones who were even stronger than him were the heaven defying Heavenly Emperors.
"Mm, you have good eyes." Li Jinpan smiled as he nodded his head. "The golden talisman contains a trace of power from the four Heavenly Emperor power's Heavenly Emperors. It seals off the World End's Sea and prevents it from expanding outwards whilst imprisoning the Others within."
Li Luo was amazed. It was no surprise how it could seal this entire area. It seemed that even Heavenly Emperor Li had also taken action? "Because the World End's River Treasure Domain is at the point beneath where the World End's River penetrates our world, a large amount of its water pours into this location. At the same time, it also means that numerous Others are brought along. They cannibalize each other and in the end, the strong survive and thus the corruption here is much more oppressive. It gradually erodes the sealing talisman and thus whenever the World End's River Treasure Domain opens up, it serves as an opportunity to clean up the Others. Li Jinpan continued.
"Only by continuously getting rid of these strong Others can we prevent the birth of more King stage Others, getting rid of a hidden danger during the Stygian Rain of Calamity." Li Luo finally understood why they were truly here. It wasn't just a looting fiesta, it was a great spring cleaning!
It was no wonder why the four Heavenly Emperor powers had chosen to allow strong experts from the outside to take part in this instead of keeping a tight monopoly over it. It was all for the sake of borrowing their power to cleanse the World End's River Treasure Domain.
"Actually the World End's River water has not fully receded and we still need to wait for a bit more." Li Jinpan continued.
Li Luo nodded his head and was about to speak when his expression changed. Turning his head, he saw majestic fluctuations of energy in the distance as numerous groups of figures rushed in their way.
A few of these groups whose size was no less than theirs immediately made their way towards other mountains not far away.
He instantly knew that the other three Heavenly Emperor powers had arrived.
