Chapter 1170: A New Development

Many halls within the palace continued to collapse and countless stone pillars came crashing down.

All the students were filled with delight as they cheered happily. Everyone looked at the three figures in front of them in admiration.

Three Greater Heavenly Resonances had fought off a True Devil!

Just thinking about it was enough to make their blood boil. With such an amazing feat, these three would likely be known amongst all the major ancient colleges.

Li Luo was also surprised by the trio's attacks. Ning Meng, Jiang Qing'e, and Wu Changkong were truly the cream of the crop from the two colleges. Their earlier strikes were so fearsome that ordinary Quasi Dukes would likely flee at the sight.

They were truly frightening.

However...

His eyes turned towards the collapsed halls. The White Eyed True Devil had been buried under the debris. The trio's combined attack should have caused a considerable amount of damage to it. However, it was uncertain if it was enough to end it.

Others had always been known to be extremely tenacious. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

After this setback, the White Eyed True Devil would not dare to underestimate the trio anymore. This was not the time to relax yet.

Glug! Glug!

At this moment, a strange sound could be heard from the heavy debris. Li Luo and the others looked over in a hurry and noticed an eerie aura overflowing from the wreckage. White substance secreted out of the debris, and within it was a vicious-looking face that seemed to be struggling.

The substance started to flow out at a faster speed. Soon, it completely covered up the debris, and the area turned into a white pool.

The pool continued to expand before finally condensing back into a figure. Its white hair flew in the air and the only features on its face were its cold, white eyes.

It was the White Eyed True Devil.

However, it now had three deep scars on its body. Although it was not bleeding, countless layers of pale skin were underneath the injuries. It was an unsettling sight.

A terrifying, cold air continued to exude from the White Eyed True Devil. Its white eyes, filled with murderous intent, locked onto the trio.

Clearly, the injuries had infuriated it.

The White Eyed True Devil stretched out its hand with sharp claws and gestured towards the white pool under its feet. The liquid churned, then an object gradually arose from the depths, ending up in its hand.

It was a Soul-calling Flag. The flag was pale white, as if it was made up of human skins. Terrifying faces were packed tightly onto its surface. Enormous amounts of corruption surged up, and the sky above was filled with thick, black clouds. Countless strange whispers echoed in the air with its presence.

She did not seem to be present though.

"I hope Cousin Lingjing has already left the area." A look of worry appeared on Li Luo's face. They were already giving their all to resist the attacks from the White Eyed True Devil at the moment. If it managed to absorb another half of a True Devil Egg, its strength would increase drastically. At that time, the balance would be tilted and they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Just as Li Luo was worrying about this, Li Lingjing was also watching the battle from the shadows far away.

Her eyes paused for a moment around Jiang Qing'e. The radiant light energy coming from Jiang Qing'e was so bright that it stung her eyes a little.

She was the complete opposite of that goddess of light; she was filled with an ominous aura, like a poisonous python in the dark.

Li Lingjing watched in silence as she held her Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff. The staff felt cold in her hands, but it was the only strand of warmth left in her heart.

Her eyes flickered a little and she turned around, planning to leave.

Suddenly, she paused. A white substance was emerging from the ground in front of her.

The substance bubbled. A cold, authoritative, and terrifying pair of eyes emerged from the liquid.

The eyes stared directly at Li Lingjing. In an instant, she felt endless fear surging within her heart.

Li Lingjing's face changed completely. She gripped the Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff tightly and said, "All-Beings Devil King?"

"I didn't expect a little girl like you to consume my True Devil Egg. And you've even managed to resist the call to fuse with the main body. Not bad," a spooky and indifferent voice said.

Li Lingjing frowned, slowly stepping back so she could make her escape.

However, the eyes in the white substance simply stared at her coldly. "You want the power of my True Devil Egg without paying the price for it? Do you really think I am such a pushover? Spirit Eye sent you all here to be my pawns. How can you retreat now? You're my chess pieces. Do you think I would let you jump out of the game board that easily?"

Cold energy surged up within Li Lingjing's body, and she transformed into a black beam of light to flee.

However, she froze just as her body was about to move. She lowered her head and looked down. Without her noticing, the white substance had caught onto both of her feet. It then travelled up her legs rapidly like candle wax, completely swallowing her body up.

Li Lingjing could slowly feel that she was losing control over her own body.

However, she was not in despair yet. Instead, there was a flash of ambition deep within those eyes.

The cold, white substance wrapped her up in countless layers. In the end, Li Lingjing was completely encased in it, just like a wax figure.

At the next moment, the wax figure turned into a white beam of light and flew high up into the air. It flew across the sky and headed straight towards the center of the battlefield.
