Chapter 1140: White Pillar, Blood Pool

Li Luo's breakthrough had attracted all of the attention from Yue Zhiyu and the rest of the group. They were astonished when they saw the brilliant seventh pearl floating behind him.

However, it was not because of his successful breakthrough. Rather, it was because they were once again reminded that Li Luo was still only in the Heavenly Pearl stage.

As a Heavenly Pearl, he could finish off two Greater Heavenly Resonance opponents. That was truly monstrous.

"All four altars have been destroyed?" Li Luo asked as he stood up to stretch his muscles. He looked into the sky above. The cursed students had all begun to deflate and they were beginning to fall back down.

Nonetheless, the others did not hurry over to help them. After all, the physical bodies of those who had reached the Fiend Body tier and above possessed a certain level of sturdiness. They would not be so unlucky to die from a fall just like this.

"Yes. However, there is no signal from the fourth altar's side. We do not know what's happened but it seems like the altar has been destroyed." Li Hongyou explained.

"I see."

Li Luo found it a little odd too. Nonetheless, he did not dwell on it for too long. "Perhaps the ward has crumbled because the other three altars have been destroyed."

Li Hongyou nodded her head. That was their guess as well.

Yue Zhiyu's eyes lighted up as she quickly added on, "Since the Ten Thousand Curses Ward has been dispelled, we should grab hold of time and head towards the Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillar in the center of the city!"

The others agreed with her. As such, they did not dwell any further on the ward that had just been dispelled or the students that were still recovering from the curse. They summoned up their resonant power and dashed towards the center district of the city like bolts of lightning.

At the same time, the teams who were still able to fight also made their way towards the center district. Everyone had the same thought in mind.

...

At the location of the last destroyed Soul Summoning Altar.

The scenery of the surrounding area began to change now that the altar had been destroyed. As the elites from both Ancient Colleges rushed towards the center district, this place turned back into a mountain stream.

The mountain stream was dark. Although the Soul Summoning Altar had been destroyed, corruption did not dissipate here. Instead, it had gotten even stronger.

Some strange chewing sounds could be heard from the shadows of the mountain stream. A few moments later, a shadow slowly walked out. The one at the front carried a blood ossuary. The others behind were carrying black ossuaries.

"These elite students from the Ancient College are truly delicious delicacies. My precious had such an enjoyable time eating." A vicious smile appeared on one of the Black Ossuary Minions. He patted the black ossuary on his back as fresh blood continued to ooze out from the side. When the cover of the ossuary shook a little, one could faintly see a twisted and gooey monster in it.

Previously, some of the students had also rushed over to the fourth altar. However, they were extremely unlucky. Not only did they have to contend with the Greater Evil Spirits, they also had to face the Murderous Ghost Horde.

In the end, none of them survived.

As Li Luo, Yue Zhiyu and the rest watched this scene in horror, a chill ran up their spines.

Tui!

Sonic booms could be heard from other directions as many figures dashed over and stopped nearby.

Li Luo turned his head around and saw Feng Lingyuan, Wei Chonglou and the others.

Strong resonant power surrounded their bodies as they held onto their treasured artifacts. Their bodies were full of injuries. It seemed like they had just finished a tough battle.

Both sides were delighted to see each other. However, they did not approach each other directly. From the incident earlier, they had learnt to be careful and to verify each other's identities first.

"Li Luo, it seems like you're fine. I thought you would have turned into one of those lanterns in the sky." Feng Lingyuan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Li Luo.

The previous incident had been too terrifying. Even some of the Greater Heavenly Resonance students fell prey to it, let alone a Heavenly Pearl like Li Luo.

As he heard this, Li Luo smiled back helplessly. "Senior Hongyou and I happened to bump into Wang Kong and Yue Zhiyu."

Wei Chonglou took a quick glance at him. "You're a lucky individual, Junior Li Luo."

He was clearly a little unhappy about things. His side had fought a deadly battle and even he had been injured in order to destroy the altar. Yet, Li Luo appeared to be completely unhurt under the protection of Wang Kong and Yue Zhiyu. This really didn't sit quite right with him.

Sensing his animosity, Li Luo did not give in. "It seems like Senior Wei has suffered."

"I have slain one Greater Evil Spirit and seven Evil Spirits. Although there are some injuries, my companions are all safe. This is nothing." Wei Chonglou calmly replied.

The other students that had come along with Wei Chonglou nodded their heads, praising Wei Chonglou for his courage and strength. At the same time, they glared back at Li Luo, hinting that he shouldn't be mocking Wei Chonglou about it.

Wei Chonglou took another look at Li Luo. He said in a warning tone, "Junior Li Luo, Junior Jiang has been known to possess unparalleled potential. If you're just someone who sits on the side and enjoys the fruits of her labor, you're going to tarnish her name."

Li Luo smiled back. "This is between the two of us. There's no need for you to worry about it."

At this point, a hint of fury flashed in Wei Chonglou's eyes. He was clearly provoked by Li Luo's words.

"Alright, stop finding trouble, Wei Chonglou. Although I don't quite like him, I have to admit it. If Li Luo did not help us kill off two Greater Evil Spirits earlier, we will be in a much worse position right now." At this point, Yue Zhiyu unwillingly interrupted the two of them.

"Which is why, if you're saying he's made no contribution, I am afraid no one from our side will agree with you."

As she finished her sentence, everyone was shocked. Even Feng Lingyuan and Wei Chonglou were startled, as if they had misheard her.

"Li Luo finished off two Greater Evil Spirits?!"
