Chapter 1151: Corruption

In the blink of an eye, the blood egg had split into two, with one half attempting to escape and the other attempting to assimilate with Li Luo. As the group regained their senses, their faces turned horrified.

The blood egg was surely a trick of the All-Beings Devil King. Therefore, it was undoubtedly full of corruption. Now that half of the egg had entered Li Luo's body, wouldn't it try to corrupt him?

However, Li Luo had no time to worry about their appalled faces. As soon as the egg entered his left hand, his palm began to transform.

Firstly, his skin turned blood-red. The bones of his fingers grew thicker and his nails turned sharper. The entirety of his left palm grew a few times bigger, as if it had become the claws of a monster.

It was a little similar to what had happened when he underwent dragonification earlier. However, the ferocious dragon claws were under his control. Meanwhile, the bloody claw that he held in front of him was twisted and strange, with blood-red cysts popping out of his flesh. At the back of his hand, a bloody line surfaced and slowly began to extend outwards. It was as if some twisted, creepy eyeball was attempting to emerge out of that crack.

This was a sign of corruption by an Other.

The blood-red energy continued to make its way across Li Luo's arm, clearly trying to invade his entire body.

Li Luo's face turned dark. He knew that if the corruption spread across his whole body, it would be an extremely grave matter.

He had to halt the corruption from spreading any further if he wanted to survive. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Li Luo activated his resonant power and channeled it towards his left arm to resist the insidious corruption that raged within him.

However, there was barely any effect. Li Luo could even feel that his resonant power was the one being corrupted!

"Ordinary resonant power is unable to fight against this corruption. It's far too strong. Luckily, I have light resonant power...!"

Li Luo did not panic. He thought about it for a moment and poured all the resonant power from his body into the mysterious Auric Halo. All of it was transformed into brilliant light resonant power.

Filled with divine and purification prowess, he channeled the light resonant power into his left arm and readily formed layers of defenses.

This time, he was successful and the rate of corruption finally slowed down.

Like two elite armies clashing in a war, the light resonant power and the corruption in his left arm fought a battle to the death.

As Li Luo focused all his attention on the vicious war occurring inside his body, Feng Lingyuan, Wang Kong, and the others watched anxiously from the outside. They were looking a little wary. After all, they had seen countless cases where one lost control of themselves after getting corrupted.

As everyone raised their vigilance around Li Luo, Li Hongyou chose to walk up to him directly.

"Hongyou!" Feng Lingyuan shouted in a worried tone.

Li Hongyou did not care pay her any mind. She frowned and looked at Li Luo. Nothing could happen to him here. If something did, how could she fulfill her wish in the future?

At present, Li Luo's situation was dire and she had to help him in any possible way.

Against an all-out defense, the corruption's rampant spread had finally been staunched and suppressed.

However, Li Luo did not relax. He knew that this was only temporary, and as time passed, the corruption would slowly inch its way forward.

Nonetheless, the rate of corruption was at least slower than its pace at the beginning.

Yet the fact that it would spread was inevitable.

At its current pace, the corruption would spread to an alarming degree in a few days' time.

"Not even light resonant power can stop it completely?"

Li Luo's heart was heavy. He had tried everything he could think of. However, the corruption energy from the strange egg was too persistent. It was definitely an extraordinary object

He thought deeply about it for a few moments. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. He looked at the Acquired Resonance Flame deep in the depths of the mysterious Auric Halo.

It was a very special flame. Perhaps it could be of help.

He focused his mind to control the flame. The Acquired Resonance Flame slowly floated up, cruised through his body, and appeared in the battleground between the light resonant power and corruption energy.

With the arrival of the Acquired Resonance Flame, small buds of flame rose out of the fire and entered the light resonant power.

A surprising result was achieved when the two of them combined.

As the light resonant power surged up, buds of flame faintly flowed within it. The line of defense had become impregnable as a result if the comination. No matter how hard the vicious corruption tried to erode the upgraded defenses, there was no breakthrough.

Li Luo finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He tried to launch a counterattack to force the corruption out of his left arm completely. However, the corruption seemed to have a mind of its own. Sensing the danger, it began to quickly shrink back and consolidate into a mass.

For a moment, the two armies were locked in stalemate.

Li Luo was not satisfied with this. He tried to find other opportunities to quell the issue, but the corruption was too tenacious. With his current strength, there was no way for him to get rid of it completely.

At this point, he finally understood. With his current capabilities, all he could do was protect his body and prevent the corruption from spreading. He would need some greater external aid if he would like to purge his body of it completely.

This would most likely be possible only after they had completed this mission.

Li Luo sighed in his heart, then he slowly opened his tightly-shut eyes.

The first thing he noticed were strong energy undulations surrounding him in all directions. Everyone was looking at him warily.
