Absolute Resonance Chapter 1383: The True Sacrificial Offering

Chapter 1383: The True Sacrificial Offering

World's End River Treasure Domain, Other Dominion

When Li Luo had unleashed the most powerful attack he could muster to take down Qin Lian, the oceans worth of resonant power within his body were all sucked dry. Weakness washed over his entire body, radiating from his very core.

The previous strike had not only consumed his energy but also tired him out mentally. Adding on the fact that he had to suppress the backlash from destroying his second Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried, Li Luo was undoubtedly in terrible condition at the moment.

His body teetered before plunging from the skies.

However, a beautiful figure immediately zipped over, embracing him in her arms. It was Jiang Qing'e.

Her alluring eyes were filled with worry as she looked at the depleted and pale Li Luo. His injuries were heartbreaking. Li Hongyou had similarly rushed over. She bit her finger, and a dense medicinal aroma accompanied the blood that came out. She then placed her finger into Li Luo's mouth, allowing the blood to drip in slowly. Now that she had the Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance, even her blood possessed medicinal qualities that were capable of reinvigorating the body. As the fresh blood flowed into Li Luo, his injuries began to knit together at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, his withered body began to show signs of strength.

His eyelids opened, and he saw two enchanting faces that were filled with worry and concern. "I... am fine," Li Luo hoa.r.s.ely wheezed out as he felt a fire burning in his throat.

He then realized that there was a slender, white finger stuffed into his mouth, dripping with fresh medicinal blood. It was like tasting the finest nectar, and he greedily lapped it up. The stinging pain coming from her fingertip caused Li Hongyou to wince slightly, but she suppressed it.

It was at this point that Li Luo had regained a sense of clarity. He hurriedly unlatched his mouth and awkwardly apologized. "Sorry, Senior Hongyou."

She clasped her fingers together and smiled as she shook her head.

"Is Qin Lian finally dead?" Li Luo asked hurriedly.

"She should be. After all, her resonance has dissipated," Jiang Qing'e answered.

But at that very instant, the black snake that was wrapped around Li Luo's wrist suddenly shouted out in surprise, "No, Li Luo! Her corpse is moving! Hurry and destroy her body!"

Jiang Qing'e's reaction was the quickest. The heavy sword in her hand burst forth with sacred light resonant power, directly striking towards Qin Lian's broken remains.

However, at the very moment the holy sword energy struck the corpse, dense, black energy flowed out and s.h.i.+elded it.

At the same time, Qin Lian's corpse began to twist violently. All of her flesh and blood seemed to be wrung out, transforming into a fleshy, b.l.o.o.d.y paste.

The roiling stench of blood wafted nauseatingly through the air.

The blood-red flower bud's maw then began to greedily suck away. All of the b.l.o.o.d.y paste rushed towards it, and it swallowed it all in a single gulp.

This sudden development caused everyone's faces to pale.

They were just about to celebrate Qin Lian's demise and the fact that they had survived this seemingly doomed situation. Who would have expected that in a blink of an eye, the situation would change yet again?

Qin Lian's corpse had been directly turned into nutrients for the flower bud!

"Quickly! We must destroy that flower!" Qin Beiming was sweating coldly from head to toe as his voice rang out. A moment later, countless resonant power arts streaked through the air, heading straight towards the blood-red flower bud.

In response, the b.l.o.o.d.y maw spat out a crimson tornado filled with numerous figures, howling and wailing in agony.

The tornado raged, extinguis.h.i.+ng the feeble counterattack put up by the rest.

What caused everyone to feel a looming sense of despair was the fact that they could sense undulations coming from the flower bud that far exceeded Qin Lian’s power.

Clearly, after absorbing Qin Lian, the flower bud had metamorphosed into something even more powerful.

Li Luo could feel these energy undulations, and a look of bitterness appeared on his face. Who would have thought that after giving his all to kill Qin Lian, they would still be unable to break the stalemate. Waves of fatigue buffeted him.

He collapsed in Jiang Qing'e's arms. He was tired and things were done. He was like a lamp that was spent. He had nothing up his sleeve any more.

Jiang Qing'e, however, didn't plan to just give up here. She lightly caressed Li Luo's face before handing him over to Li Hongyou. She then lifted her sword and stood up as the Archaic Rune on her forehead blazed with holy flames.

She would protect Li Luo to the very end.

Whoos.h.!.+

Piercing screams rang out constantly as gradually intensifying waves of corruption erupted from the flower bud.

The maw then began to squirm and slowly transformed. A gigantic face took its place.

This face was much too familiar to everyone here—it was the spitting image of Qin Lian, the one who had instilled endless terror into them!

Seeing her face on the blood-red flower petal was even more frightening than facing her directly. Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest all felt their bodies turn numb. They had been hit with successive setbacks, and now they had truly lost all will to struggle any further.

Meanwhile, the blood-red flower bud didn't stop just because they did.

The gigantic face that resembled Qin Lian opened up its pale lips and spat out sticky, black flames that covered the sky. The flames spread like wildfire.

Wherever the flames pa.s.sed, life was extinguished.

The groups' eyes reflected the waves of flames that were growing larger and larger by the moment. It seemed as though they could only close their eyes and wait for death.

However, amongst the despairing figures, Jiang Qing'e stood alone with her sword in hand. Dazzling light bloomed from her body like a bright light in the darkness. The only issue was that the darkness that now encapsulated the world was virtually everywhere. This single spot of light was a little too small.

The flames continued to spread unabated, destroying everything in its path.

That said, just as the flames were about to engulf the group, the skies of the Other Dominion were suddenly ripped apart and numerous whizzing sounds could be heard. This was accompanied by the appearance of countless Duke Bergfrieds. Qin Beiming and the rest raised their heads. The Duke Bergfrieds were reflected in their eyes, being as plentiful as the stars in the sky, bringing them hope.

This was because those Duke Bergfrieds were also accompanied by layer after layer of Worlds.p.a.ce Domains!

Buzz!

The Worlds.p.a.ce Domains that had just descended were like layers of barriers, enveloping everyone protectively. Thanks to them, the black flames were finally blocked.

Li Luo raised his head in surprise. He could see figures descending from the sky, all emitting mighty energy undulations.

"Li Luo, Qing'e, are you alright?!" A bald man was the first to arrive, and his meaty face was filled with anxiousness.

It was none other than Ox Biaobiao! Li Luo raised his head. He could see that the likes of Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng had also arrived.

They were all the high-grade Dukes that had been kept captive within the Treasure Domain!

Li Luo was so moved that tears fell from his eyes. “G.o.d d.a.m.n it! Couldn't these high-grade Dukes have come earlier? Were they planning to attend my funeral banquet?”
