Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1164: Everyone Gathered

At this moment, they were all heading directly to the center of the All-Beings Palace where the Heavenly Ghost Altar was located.

That was the final destination for their mission.

Victory or defeat would be decided over there.

The team continued their advance as nothing really stood in their way. No Others or Murderous Ghost Horde members stood in their way.

However, no one let their guard down. Everyone knew that this silence was just the calm before the storm.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing\'e remained close together as they made their way forward. This was largely due to Li Luo leaning over despite Jiang Qing\'e giving him a stare. The others were a little jealous as they watched the two of them.

Wei Chonglou was trembling and his eyes were bloodshot. Meanwhile, Wu Changkong stayed at the front of the pack to avoid any unnecessary thoughts. In the end, Feng Lingyuan transmitted a message to Li Luo and told him to control himself. It was not ideal to be fighting amongst themselves before they even arrived at the Heavenly Ghost Altar.

It was only then that Li Luo reluctantly moved his body away by half an inch.

Just like this, the group continued moving towards their destination. It lasted around the time needed for one incense stick to burn. Suddenly, Li Luo and the rest noticed something, and they all looked up.

There were white pillars up ahead. These pillars were a familiar sight to them—they were Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillars, just like the ones they had destroyed earlier.

However, these pillars were all over the place.

There were also strange statues on top of some of the pillars. They statues had no facial features. Instead, there was an "evil" character carved onto their faces.

"Greater Evil Spirits!"

Everyone\'s eyes turned cold when they saw the statues.

Li Luo looked past these Devil Heart Pillars and saw a gigantic statue with a ghostly face in the center. A strange and twisted feeling surrounded this statue as its ghastly face looked up at the sky. Its huge mouth was open, displaying its sharp fangs. White liquid flowed out of its mouth, forming a pool.

The liquid gave off an extremely chilly and unsettling aura, as if it was the leftover product after boiling human skins in a hot pot for a really really long time.

The giant ghost-faced statue was clearly the objective of their mission.

The Heavenly Ghost Altar!

Wu Changkong and Feng Lingyuan glanced at each other, and the same thought flashed through their minds. If they destroyed this altar, the True Devil Eggs would be unable to fuse together.

Their mission would thus be considered a success.

"Let\'s do it!"

At the next moment, Wu Changkong dashed in front, leading the charge. He cried out loudly, and immense amounts of resonant power surged up into the sky above, forming a majestic Heavenly Resonance Diagram.

This Heavenly Resonance Diagram was shrouded in crimson flames. A giant bull could be seen within the flames, feeding on them as a thunderous roar resounded in the air.

Wu Changkong possessed a primary and a secondary resonance. He had a lower ninth-grade One Legged Mountain Ox Demon resonance and a secondary fire resonance.

Li Luo was shocked when he saw the majestic Heavenly Resonance Diagram in the sky. Wu Changkong was irritating, but his strength was truly extraordinary. It was no wonder he was the strongest student in the Heavenly Star Hall of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College.

His Heavenly Resonance Diagram was over nine thousand feet wide.

He was truly at the pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier!

Feng Lingyuan, Yue Zhiyu, and Duan Mu fell a little short compared to him. Seeing his resonant power explode, the others did not hesitate to summon up their resonant power too. In the blink of an eye, Heavenly Resonance Diagrams began to appear in the sky above one after another.

However, the Greater Evil Spirit statues on the Devil Heart Pillars began to melt as soon as the immense energy waves could be felt in the air.

In just a few moments, the statues lost their grayish-white color and turned into scarlet beasts!

Wave after wave of corruption swept across the sky. The "evil" character on the Greater Evil Spirits began to wriggle as they came to life. The enemies had awakened!

After which, the Greater Evil Spirits that were wreathed in immense amounts of corruption jumped down from the tops of the Devil Heart Pillars, heading straight for the students.

A fierce fight broke out immediately.

"Li Luo, follow me!" Jiang Qing\'e told Li Luo as she grabbed her heavy sword. She led the charge and activated her dual resonances as two light Spirit Avatars appeared behind her back. They sucked in light energy from the surrounding rapidly and transformed it into power for Jiang Qing\'e.

As soon as she stepped onto the battlefield, Jiang Qing\'e became the most illuminating spot of light in the arena. Her light resonant power was converted into ferocious attacks that swept across the battlefield. The divine purification power of the dual ninth-grade resonances was simply unstoppable.

The Greater Evil Spirits in front of them would struggle for a few moments even when Wu Changkong\'s attack landed on them. Jiang Qing\'e, however, gravely injured them, leaving them on the cusp of death with a few simple strikes.

"Li Luo, finish it!" she said.

Li Luo woke up from the surprise and swung his Dragon Elephant Blade down with all his might. The critically injured Greater Evil Spirit was chopped into two.

Then he felt a vibration on the back of his palm. A message had arrived.

A Merit obtained!

Li Luo was delighted. Tears of joy welled up in his eyes. He had worked so painstakingly hard for the few A Merits he already had. Now he finally understood how enjoyable this was.

One A Merit per attack!

And he didn\'t even have to use the Great Sanguine Poison Art.

This was truly a delight.

All hail the magnificent plump white goose! There was no need to work hard any longer!

Just like this, the battle escalated in intensity as everyone began to fight.

More Greater Evil Spirits were summoned, and the top students from both colleges were surrounded.

However, a sudden wave of resonant power burst out from the right side not too far away.

Everyone looked over and was overjoyed. It was the other team that had been rushing over.

Whoosh!

A radiant light streaked across the sky of the hall. Like a meteor crashing down from the galaxies above, it landed directly on two of the Greater Evil Spirits and splattered them.

The ground shook violently.

Many surprised gazes looked over at the crumbled ground, and a small figure appeared in the distance.

This person was wearing a black and white checkered shirt and was hoisting a gigantic rod with both hands. A hood was covering her head, but a small, white, oval face could be spotted underneath it.

If not for the terrifying waves of resonant power that were pulsing from her body, she would undoubtedly be called cute.

Even Wu Changkong could not help but turn his attention towards her. His gaze froze for a moment.

He could sense a serious threat coming from this petite little girl. He understood who it was immediately. Who else could it be except for the top-ranked student of the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, Ning Meng?

"Ninth-grade Light Chaser Beast resonance..." Wu Changkong sighed in his heart. They were both ninth-grade and he even had a secondary resonance. However, there was ultimately a considerable difference between a lower ninth-grade and a middle ninth-grade.

He had consumed countless spirit liquids and purifying lights over the years, trying to temper his lower ninth-grade resonance into a middle ninth-grade one. However, the effect was barely noticeable. As such, he knew how wide of a gap there was.

"Haha, I have arrived, children!"

Ning Meng planted her giant rod firmly into the ground when she entered the stage. She placed her hands on her waist and burst out in lighthearted laughter.

"Is she the top student in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, Ning Meng?"

With such exaggerated movements, Li Luo had naturally looked over as well.

Jiang Qing\'e nodded.

"She\'s quite adorable," Li Luo praised.

Jiang Qing\'e chuckled. "If she punched you, I\'m sure you wouldn\'t be saying that."

"Little Jiang\'e!"

As the two of them were chatting, Ning Meng noticed Jiang Qing\'e instantaneously. The pure and condensed divine power coming out of her body could not go unnoticed. Ning Meng\'s eyes lit up when she saw her.

She grabbed onto her weapon and leapt over to Jiang Qing\'e\'s side immediately.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing\'e sheathed her sword and stood there.

Ning Meng leaped over to Jiang Qing\'e and wrapped her arms around her neck, saying happily, "I\'ve missed you! So nice! So soft!"

She rubbed her cheeks against Jiang Qing\'e\'s chest. Jiang Qing\'e stood there helplessly.

Li Luo glared at Ning Meng for a moment as he watched this. "Brat! Who\'d you think you are? Are those meant for you?"

However, Ning Meng sensed his glare and turned over. She looked into him straight in the eyes and said fiercely, "What\'re you looking at? Are you looking for a beating?"
