Chapter 0901: Inky Jade Dragon Ent
Roar!
The emerald dragon emerged, smashing apart the rain as its claws clashed with the Gilded Armor Spirit Blade that possessed unparalleled sharpness.
Weng!
At the moment of collision, golden light radiated resplendently and wood dust scattered in every direction. The emerald dragon's claws had been pierced through. Golden light scattered in every direction and the claws began to disintegrate.
Additionally, the blade continued tunneling towards the dragon's body, intent on dismantling it in its entirety.
However, the emerald dragon was no slouch. Resonant power continued to flow, and it contained Vestiges of Spirituality, endowing a sense of sentience to the resonance art. Even when faced with the tyrannical Gilded Armor Spirit Blade's attack, it continued to resist furiously and attempted to entangle itself with it.
There was hard-fought resistance, but a Pseudo Duke Art restricting an actual Duke Art was not a realistic outcome. A few moments later, the Emerald Dragon Ent was hacked into half at the waist.
"Banner Leader Li Luo, you seem to possess an affinity with too many resonant powers. Borrowing the aid of so many treasures to utilize resonance arts that you don't have an affinity with must have been quite pricey," Deng Fengxian casually stated.
The three Pseudo Duke Arts which Li Luo had demonstrated showed Deng Fengxian that he had utilized water, lightning, light, wood, and dragon resonance powers. This caused him to be exceptionally surprised. Although Li Luo had triple resonances and significant stores of resonant power, this should have been only possible with the aid of external mediums.
This was not a rare thing. When others cultivated a Duke Art that their own resonant power did not have any affinity for, they would borrow treasures to succeed. However, they were ultimately consumables that had to be replenished consistently. Therefore, using the art in question was not just cumbersome, it would also prevent the art from bringing out its full potential.
This sort of thinking was quite normal, and to be fair, they did not know that Li Luo's resonances had both a primary and secondary affinities.
"However, a Pseudo Duke Art simply cannot compare with a Duke Art. Banner Leader Li Luo, your methods have not been particularly effective."
Deng Fengxian flicked his finger once again, and the blade seemed to have come to life, lunging towards Li Luo.
Li Luo smiled upon hearing Deng Fengxian's critique. He waved his sleeve, and majestic amounts of dual resonant power poured out of him and into the shattered Emerald Dragon Ent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe construct seemed to come back to life when resonant power flooded into it. The coarse branches intertwined and it transformed back into its original form.
"If one Pseudo Duke Art isn't enough, how about two?" Li Luo formed a hand seal, and the thunder clouds suddenly gathered onto the Emerald Dragon Ent, transforming into a robe that wrapped around it like a raincoat.
With the combination of the Thunderstorm Art, the Emerald Dragon Ent had turned inky jade in color, whilst lightning resonant power rumbled on its surface.
The Emerald Dragon Ent's body burst forth with energy undulations that surpassed what it had previously, something that everyone in the area could feel.
Roar!
The Emerald Dragon Ent shot outwards with a boom akin to a thunderclap and the speed of a lightning bolt. However, its speed hadn't only increased. What surprised everyone was that it had also become more corporeal. It dashed forward savagely, releasing a low but deafening rumble as it moved.
The countless banner members couldn't help but cover their ears with expressions of discomfort.
Deng Fengxian's eyes similarly shrunk as he focused upon the completely transformed inky dragon with a frown.
He could feel that the dragon was formed by the fusion of countless resonant powers. The rainwater that had combined with its body had increased its mass and increased its physical capabilities by a good margin. Its slow speed had also been boosted.
Was this due to the lightning resonant power?
However, lightning and wood resonant power were not compatible, so combining the two would generally not be very effective.
"He used water resonant power to cover the entire dragon like clothes, then he ran his lightning resonant power through it to fuse it with the Emerald Dragon Ent. This resulted in a large boost in speed. What marvelous usage of resonant power!" Deng Fengxian's expression was grave, but he sighed in admiration in his heart. Li Luo was not to be underestimated. Two simple Pseudo Duke Arts had been combined into something capable of contending against an actual Duke Art in his hands.
Deng Fengxian understood that this was the advantage of having multiple resonances. More importantly, Li Luo was capable of utilizing dual resonant power.
Li Luo had utilized his mastery over dual resonant power to complement his execution of two Pseudo Duke Arts, resulting in a frightening attack.
"However, you shouldn't underestimate me either." Deng Fengxian sighed lightly. Li Luo's magnificent performance had stimulated his excitement for battle. Perhaps it was only with a proper opponent like him that he could truly bring everything out to bear.
Deng Fengxian clasped his hands together to form a series of hand seals.
"Gilded Armor Spirit Blade, Separation Technique!"
As soon as he shouted, the blade immediately trembled and transformed into three rays of golden light.
Within each ray was a razor-sharp blade.
The three blades formed a formation, and their blade energy surged outwards. Then they rotated at a high speed as one and directly smashed against the dragon.
Bang!
A berserk explosion echoed throughout the field, kicking up a tempest in every direction.
Before the dust had settled, the countless banner members squinted, hoping to see the result of the collision.
One could see numerous green light dots dissipating into the air. The domineering spirit blade formation had wedged itself right into the head of the dragon.
Yet at the same time, the formation was also gradually dimming, its fierce aura receding.
A lot of energy had been consumed in order to destroy the dragon.
Weng, weng!
The spirit blades hummed. Despite the best efforts of the dragon, it was finally split into two from head to tail with a cry.
Bang!
The Emerald Dragon Ent fractured into minute shreds that dissipated into motes of energy.
Li Luo's mastery of this Pseudo Duke Art was miraculous, but it was unable to halt the Gilded Armor Spirit Blade’s onslaught.
However, no one mocked him, and serious expressions could be seen on their faces. Even Deng Fengxian's followers were frowning. Looking at the resonant power expenditure, the two Pseudo Duke Arts had exhausted much less resonant power than the Gilded Armor Spirit Blade.action
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMost importantly, it had forced Deng Fengxian to utilize the second transformation of the Gilded Armor Spirit Blade. Even though Li Luo’s attack had been halted, the gold light radiating from the blades had dimmed immensely and cracks could be seen on them.
Deng Fengxian's gaze changed. He had to take advantage of this brief period where Li Luo's resonance art had been overcome to quickly take him down.
With a thought, the three blades swiftly pierced through the air and viciously lanced towards Li Luo, leaving behind a trail of golden light.
The looming spirit blades were gradually growing in size from Li Luo’s perspective, but he was unfazed, only smirking.
The previous exchange had left him very satisfied. The wondrous combination of two Pseudo Duke Arts had managed to consume a good amount of Deng Fengxian's Gilded Armor Spirit Blade's energy.
Thus, when faced with these three dim blades, he did not retreat, only taking a step forward.
"Tri-Radiance Glass!" Three kinds of glazed light permeated every inch of his body, giving him a rainbow-like shine.
"Thunderpeal Avatar, Three Sonic Pulses!"
The sound of a thunderclap burst out from within him, and his body strengthened rapidly.
"Tri-Radiance Spiritual Marks!" This was not the end—the spiritual marks on his body began to shine, letting off a blazing and scalding energy. Li Luo was like a cauldron as his body continued to strengthen to an even more astonishing level.
He looked like a glazed, godly statue. With a step, he appeared before the three blades and punched them directly.
Bang!
Stormy waves of energy rumbled in every direction as the blast echoed throughout the mountain range.
Fist met blade directly without hesitation.
The collision only lasted for a moment before the numerous banner members heard a faint, cracking sound.
The cracks on the three blades expanded rapidly before finally exploding into golden motes of light with a huge bang.
When they landed on Li Luo's glazed body, they only left behind tiny, white scratches.
This caused the entire field to fall into utter silence.
