Chapter 1655: Extinction Resonance

The terrifying black light had pierced through all obstacles, tunneling into Li Luo's fifth resonant palace. It then expanded slightly, capturing the Divine Fruit windflame resonance within. As the black light enveloped the resonance, the Authorities of Wind and Fire quietly restrained themselves, as though allowing it to do whatever it wanted.

"What is that?" Li Luo asked in alarm.

He was shocked by the changes happening within his fifth resonant palace. After all, this was happening inside him, and the black light had passed through his body and resonant power defenses, infiltrating his whole being without any form of resistance.

"Senior Pill Saint!" he cried out.

He realized that if the black light surrounded the Divine Fruit windflame resonance completely, it would definitely take it away from him. However, the issue was that the pitch-black light exuded an aura that remained inside him. Although it was just a few straggling wisps, it lingered within his resonant palace, resulting in those parts giving off a deathly aura. It was as though his entire resonant palace was about to die.

A great sense of unease welled up within Li Luo's heart. This was the first time one of his resonant palaces had experienced such a thorough transformation. He could feel that if he allowed this aura to wreak havoc within his body, his little life might be at risk, much less the resonant palace or even the windflame resonance.

The Pill Saint snapped back to attention as her expression turned gloomy.

"This power originates from one of the Sect Master's resonances. It's known as the extinction resonance, and it possesses tyrannical might, capable of extinguishing life force. It was also the Sect Master's most powerful resonance when it came to slaughter," she explained.

Extinction resonance? That was a very rare resonance. Did this mean that the existence within the coffin could wield the extinction resonance? However, Li Luo had witnessed the coffin taking a large part of the Divine Fruit crystal resonance in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, so where was that resonance?

It seemed that whatever was within the coffin was intentionally collecting all of the resonances left behind by the Sect Master. Was this its eventual goal? Based on the information he already knew, the Legendary Sect Master had a crystal resonance, a windflame resonance, an extinction resonance, and a light resonance.

The Pill Saint had mentioned that the strongest resonance was the light resonance, but it seemed like the extinction resonance wasn't too far behind. In terms of its ability to destroy, kill, and annihilate, it was definitely superior to the light resonance.

The Pill Saint eventually composed herself and held out her hands, shooting more multicolored silk. She stained it with her blood essence, dyeing it crimson. The crimson silk entered Li Luo's fifth resonant palace and took the shape of a talisman. It was simple and ancient, the middle of it containing a Demon Rainbow Butterfly fluttering its wings, releasing majestic power.

"Demon Butterfly Heaven Sealing Nine Talismans!" the Pill Saint shouted.

The lone talisman transformed into eight more, each one occupying a different position as a beam of light shot out from each one. The lights converged into a formation barrier, surrounding the Divine Fruit windflame resonance that was wrapped within the power of extinction.

Clearly, she was planning to prevent the black aura from seizing the windflame resonance.

When faced with the Pill Saint's sealing, the extinction energy did not cower—it directly collided against the barrier instead.

As the two forces clashed, there were surprisingly no collateral energy shockwaves. The tyrannical extinction energy held nothing back as it annihilated the barrier soundlessly and at breakneck speed, leaving behind its aura on each point of impact.

The black aura formed from the residue of the extinction energy continued to spread and ruin Li Luo's resonant palace like a plague, leaving him infuriated and frightened. There was nothing he could possibly do to retaliate, and if the aura were to disperse any further, his entire resonant palace would be at risk of disintegrating.

"Damn it!" he cursed.

That was a result that Li Luo simply couldn't allow. Furious, he threw all caution to the wind. With a thought, the Ten Divines Absolute Resonance Halo roared to life as he summoned up the energy within his body to rush towards the fifth resonant palace in an attempt to extinguish the extinction aura.

There was a high probability that the Pill Saint was also helpless in this situation, so Li Luo had no choice but to handle things himself if he wanted to prevent the destruction of his resonant palace.

When his energies collided against the black aura, Li Luo finally understood why the Pill Saint remained so wary and afraid of it. All of his resonant powers together were being one-sidedly crushed in a direct confrontation.

It was important to know that Li Luo was capable of going toe-to-toe with a Dual Crowned King if he went all-out, yet the extinction aura was smashing it apart like an adult beating up a kid. The aura contained a terrifyingly destructive will in a realm he could not comprehend.

Li Luo's surging resonant power, which was as vast as the ocean, instantly lost its vitality upon contact with the aura, constantly deteriorating before being reduced to nothing. This left him feeling rather shocked. The fusion of his resonances allowed him to barely reach the threshold of the supreme ninth-grade, yet he was unable to so much as delay the extinction aura? Just what grade had the extinction resonance reached?

The situation unfolding within his fifth resonant palace had reached an even more chaotic state than the battles occurring outside.

Li Luo forced himself to calm down as anxiety wouldn't do him any good. Then his gaze flickered decisively—he had made his choice. If he truly couldn't deal with the extinction aura, then he would sacrifice his resonant palace entirely. Otherwise, if it were allowed to spread throughout his body, he would lose more than just that.

However, just as he was making plans for the worst-case scenario, another stream of energy surged into his chaotic resonant palace. It was incredibly pure and sacred, assisting Li Luo in remaining calm and at ease.

It was Jiang Qing'e's light resonant power!

Her clear voice echoed in his mind. "Li Luo, compose yourself. There is no need to worry—I'll help you purify it."

Li Luo hurriedly said, "Be careful. Don't be stained by the black aura, it's incredibly domineering and will spread to your body as well!"

The boundless and majestic light resonant power descended like a gentle rain, sprinkling across the entirety of his fifth resonant palace, countering the extinction energy.

When the two powers collided, Li Luo was surprised to discover that Jiang Qing'e's light resonant power was not affected like his and the Pill Saint's—it wasn't simply eroded away silently. Instead, the light resonant power blazed with divine fury, blocking the extinction energy from expanding further. The two energies were capable of consuming each other.

"Jiang Qing'e's light resonant power is capable of resisting the extinction aura?" Li Luo found this hard to believe.

Although her light resonant power was incredibly pure, the dark aura was something even the Pill Saint couldn't deal with. No matter how amazing she was, they were both mere Transcendent Dukes facing a Heavenly Emperor-level threat.

However, if he thought of it from another angle and assumed that his theory regarding Jiang Qing'e's light resonance belonging to the Sect Master was true... then this wasn't without reason.

Jiang Qing'e continued to sit cross-legged on Li Luo's head, her entire body releasing resplendent light. The sprouted Genesis Seed flowed with a cryptic light between her eyebrows, connecting her three Apex Resonance Crystal Cores and the Archaic Rune. The runes then spread across her body, taking the shape of a slowly blooming Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority. Light aura surged from her, forming a pair of wings that made her resemble a goddess.

Her mind was connected with Li Luo's, so she naturally knew the crisis occurring within him as she helped him without hesitation.

The changes in the resonant palace didn't go unnoticed by the Pill Saint, and she was once again stunned by yet another seemingly impossible realization: Jiang Qing'e's light resonant power was actually able to resist the extinction aura.

The Pill Saint slowly raised her head, her eyes focused on the slender figure sitting atop the dragon's head. There was not a single resonance in the world capable of blocking the Sect Master's extinction resonance.... No, strictly speaking... there was one.

The Sect Master's light resonance.

It all made sense. It was the only resonance since ancient times that had evolved to the point that it was infinitely close to the tenth-grade. That very light resonance was here.
