Chapter 0758: Thunder Dragon's Breath

Golden light washed over Li Luo as he was sucked into the Dragon Stele. The light covering his eyes dissipated a moment later, and he glanced around curiously. He seemed to be standing in the middle of a golden desert.

The golden sand seemed to be continuously shifting, and he could not see where the landscape ended.

However, before Li Luo could acclimatize himself, he felt a surge of hot air from the sky. When he raised his head, he could see a golden sun hanging high above the clouds.

The sun seemed to be approaching him with great haste.

A moment later, Li Luo came to his senses. That was no sun, it was a ball of golden dragonbreath! It was scorching hot and domineering, as though it intended to melt the entire area beneath him.

This trial was straightforward indeed. There was no beating around the bush, just a frontal assault.

As the ball of dragonbreath approached, it did not seem to give Li Luo any sort of pressure despite its seemingly imposing presence. This was likely the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath. 

Li Luo's three resonance palaces began to bubble with resonant power. Five fingers formed a fist, and he threw out a punch imbued with his resonant power. His attack formed a rainbow that collided with the sun.

Boom! Rumble!

A loud explosion reverberated, causing a deafening roar. It was as Li Luo had expected, the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath would not pose any trouble for him.

When the golden dragonbreath dissipated, he could feel berserk thunder power fall upon his entire body.

The resulting static caused Li Luo's hair to stand on end, and a piercing pain lanced through his body. 

"The dragonbreath seems to contain thunder energy," Li Luo grumbled as he gritted his teeth. When he saw how blisteringly hot the attack had felt, he assumed that it possessed fire resonant power, but never had he expected it to have thunder energy as its source.

Clearly, a thunder dragonbreath with lingering effects was much more tyrannical and scary than one that was purely heat. 

Still, the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath was resisted just like that.

When the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath vanished, a piece of information magically appeared within Li Luo's mind. It was the cultivation method for the Three Revolutions Draconic Breath Fiend Art. He ran through it quickly before ignoring it as this was simply not his goal. He surveyed his surroundings with a calm expression, awaiting the next level of the trial.

The Six Revolutions Draconic Breath was next.

And Li Luo did not have to wait long.

A short moment later, the golden sands trembled beneath him and formed an earthy stream of particles that soared into the sky.

After a few short moments, the golden dust turned into a sea of clouds.

Boom! Rumble!

Thunder boomed between the clouds made of sand, but then they slowly began to shrink. A few moments later, they transformed into a one hundred-meter-wide golden ball of light.

The ball radiated bright light and looked smooth to the touch, almost like a polished sphere of metal. 

At this point, cracks appeared on the golden ball of light, and a roar erupted from within. The entire sky lit up, and a humongous golden ball of thunder akin to a snarling dragon wrapped in a terrifying cloak of energy directly bore down upon Li Luo. 

The pressure it radiated was multiple times stronger than the previous attack.

Li Luo's expression turned a little solemn and he waved his hand, summoning the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade.

Grasping it tightly, he commanded, "Divine Elephant Power, Level Two!"

The blade hummed, then copious amounts of energy rushed into his limbs, causing them to inflate. The veins in his arms were now protruding like little snakes. 

Bzzst!

His body was unable to fully contain the sheer power of the divine elephant, so his skin split, fresh blood erupting from his new injuries.

Li Luo was not new to this. In a blink, he activated his regenerating resonance arts, allowing him to constantly heal himself.

Feeling the earth-shattering power contained within his limbs, he took a deep breath and fused the water resonant power and dragon resonant power within him, creating dual resonant power.

Weng!

Blinding, radiant light emitted from the dual resonant power that condensed atop the blade, giving it a mystifying aura.

Li Luo's expression was cold as he struck forth with no restraint. His ancient blade chopped downwards at the golden thunder ball that was about to strike him.

Weng!

With a single blow, majestic amounts of resonant power roared forth from the tip of the blade, directly condensing a wheel of blades about ten meters long before him.

The wheel rotated at ultra high speeds, giving it an incisive slicing power that was unmatched.

With the assistance of the Level Two Divine Elephant Power, the Thousand Watery Knives Wheel was Li Luo's strongest ability with the exception of the Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner.

Li Luo was confident that such an attack could even repel a Greater Fiend Palace Tier cultivator.

Weng!

As the scintillating blade light slashed downwards, tearing through the void, the piercing screeches of wind being sliced through rang out.

It was as though the space before him had been cut in half permanently.

The wheel of blades struck the golden thunder ball head-on.

Blade light collided against thunder energy, each looking to engulf the other as the energy dissipated.

This clash lasted for over ten breaths before the ball was cleaved apart into two.

However, the remnant energy did not vanish. In fact, it seemed as though it possessed some form of spirituality, turning into a golden python that screeched before directly tunneling right into Li Luo's head. 

Bang!

Li Luo's hair once again stood on end, and an acrid smell arose from him.

However, he had no time to be concerned with his pitiful appearance, as the golden thunder carried a maniacal force that attempted to ravage his body.

Wherever the thunder energy passed through, his flesh and blood would be charred black.

The pain that wracked him far surpassed the previous time.

Still, Li Luo reacted quickly—he revolved his dual resonance power and directed it into every corner of his body to neutralize the crippling thunder energy.

The only bright side was that his previous attack had smashed apart the bulk of the thunder energy. Whatever had entered his body was just a fragment that he could manage.

With that, a large portion of the thunder energy was negated by his dual resonance power.

At this point, the usefulness of his dual resonances revealed itself once again. As a superior type of resonant power, it could easily deal with alternate forms of invasive energy in a straightforward and overboard manner. If it were someone else in this position, say an individual with just an eighth-grade resonance, they would likely be left quite miserable. 

He had to admit that the Six Revolutions Draconic Breath had put him under quite some pressure. He could only imagine how much more frightening the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath would be.

Inadvertently, Li Luo's heart turned solemn.

As he inspected his body, he checked for any remaining traces of thunder energy that lurked within.

He had to be in peak condition when the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath descended, having cleansed his body of any remnants. Otherwise, the remaining energy might be re-triggered by the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath, causing him trouble at a critical moment. 

"Hmm?" However, something fascinating caught Li Luo’s attention when he scanned his body, and he let out a surprised cry.

He had discovered that the remaining thunder energy had actually flowed towards one part of his body.

He could sense that that was where his Lightning Forge was located.

Li Luo was left a little dumbfounded.

Specifically, it had gathered where the Thunderpeal Avatar produced by the Lightning Forge was! 

As he quietly observed the new lightning forge, a curious thought arose within his heart. He had discovered that all of the resultant thunder energy had been absorbed.

The lightning forge seemed to pulse with greater intensity, and the thundering booms released by it had become much more tyrannical than before.

The Six Revolutions Draconic Breath had qualitatively improved his lightning forge?! This discovery elicited immense joy to Li Luo.
