Chapter 1205: World End's River
When the vibrations in the world space subsided, Li Luo opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the outline of a rough city. Huge stone pillars were erected around the city, and on top of each pillar was a huge mirror. Rays of light reflecting from mirror to mirror intersected above the city, illuminating the city like sunlight.
People were walking about in all directions. It was a bustling location, and mighty undulations of resonant power could be felt from time to time. Clearly, many Dukes were passing by.
The number of Dukes far exceeded what Li Luo had seen back in the Dragon's Fang Lineage.
"World End's River Region is a place full of Foundational Spirit Treasures. In terms of value and grade, it is probably second only to the actual Nobles' Battlefield. As such, many Dukes from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent gather here despite the dangers.
"In fact, some Heavenly Resonance Stage elites come here to try their luck too. If they are lucky and obtain a Foundational Spirit Treasure, they can use it to trade with the Dukes if they can't use it themselves. They are all worth considerable sums of money," Li Rouyun explained as Li Luo looked around.
He nodded, sensing the desire these Dukes had for Foundational Spirit Treasures. The more power and authority one saw a Duke wielding, the more one would strive to reach the same stage. To do so, a Foundational Spirit Treasure was a prerequisite.
As such, this World End's River Region was especially important for Dukes without a strong power backing them.
"We are in a transit area in the western district of World End's River Region. This can be considered the outer region of World End's River Region. We'll be heading deeper into the east. That is where Heavenly Dragon Peak is located."
Li Rouyun smiled at Li Luo and his friends as she continued, "Heavenly Dragon Peak is the base the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li has built up over the years. The Heavenly Dragon’s Five Guardian Armies are situated there. Let's get going. World End's River Region has all kinds of people, and there are true experts here as well. We will only be safe after we reach Heavenly Dragon Peak."
Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Li Hongyou had no objections to that, so the group set off. The airship flew through the air and dashed towards the east.
When they left the city, there were fewer beams of light from the mirrors illuminating the area. Li Luo could see the sky turning darker. Following this, he could hear the rushing sound of water.
When this noise reached his ears, his resonant power slowed down uncontrollably. Then a strange pressure surfaced within his heart, and his face turned pale.
Without any hesitation, he looked over at Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou. The former appeared better, but she was frowning a little. Li Hongyou's face, on the other hand, was full of fear.
"What's happening? Where is the sound of water coming from? Is it the Others?" Li Luo asked suspiciously.
However, Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun looked completely fine. Li Rouyun raised her fingers and pointed above them. "Take a look."
The three of them raised their heads, and their eyes narrowed immediately.
There was an endless river coursing and raging in the vast sky above them. They could not see its source, but it cut across the sky and continued flowing as far as the eye could see.
Only the Dukes within those squads managed to survive.
Since their airship waved the flag from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, none of them dared to offend Li Luo and the rest.
Thus, the journey went smoothly
"We will reach Heavenly Dragon Peak in half a day's time," Li Rouyun said as she heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Li Luo and the duo arrived at Heavenly Dragon Peak safely, their mission would be completed.
Jiang Qing'e, who had been resting at the side, suddenly opened her eyes. She shouted in shock, "Something is amiss!"
Ox Biaobiao was surprised to hear this. Then his resonant power surged up without any hesitation. The air vibrated, and seven Duke Bergfrieds appeared above him.
Thick smoke slowly arose from the Duke Bergfrieds. This was a Duke's Divine Mist.
The Divine Mist formed a protective shield and rapidly covered up the airship.
However, the void in front of them tore open just when Ox Biaobiao's preparations were almost complete. Four Divine Mists of different attributes penetrated the sky in beams and charged towards the airship directly.
Bang!
The Divine Mist shield that Ox Biaobiao had set up turned dim at an astonishing speed. At the same time, runes started extending across the shield.
At the next instant, the Divine Mist shield cracked open. The four other Divine Mist beams had shattered the airship's shield completely.
Luckily, Ox Biaobiao was able to buy them enough time. With a wave of her sleeves, Li Rouyun had made use of this window to grab onto Li Luo and the other two, and they escaped towards the rear of the airship.
Ox Biaobiao attempted to retreat as well. His eyes turned extremely gloomy and fierce as he looked towards the front.
Four figures appeared in the middle of the sky. They were surrounded by green mist that covered up their bodies and auras, so no one could tell who they were exactly.
However, their murderous intent could not be hidden. Ox Biaobiao and Li Rouyun's hearts sank immediately. When had World End's River Region become so chaotic? They dared to attack an airship from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li?!
