Chapter 1298: Quasi Ninth-grade
The gigantic violet golden dragon hovered in the air for a while before it turned into violet golden streams of light that were slowly absorbed back into Li Luo's body.
At the same time, his enlarged body rapidly shrank in size. He finally turned back to normal after a few moments.
However, his body was clearly different from the past. On the surface of his skin, there was a faint violet golden glow. If he clenched his five fingers tightly, an explosive power would surge up in his muscles with a thunderous crack.
There was an invisible pressure emanating from his body.
Li Luo opened his eyes and a violet golden light shot out from it. After a while, it gradually subsided and sank back into the depths of his pupils.
He inspected the Thunder Dragon resonance in his body immediately. No, it should be called the Heavenly Thunder Dragon resonance now!
"Quasi ninth-grade, Heavenly Dragon resonance!"
Li Luo had expected this result but he was still elated. He had endured so much over the past two months of cultivation. Finally, all his hard work had paid off. Li Luo understood that his Heavenly Dragon resonance had reached the quasi ninth-grade this time all thanks to the help of the mysterious and cheat-like Auric Halo. Without it, he would have been unable to bridge the gap between the eighth-grade and ninth-grade. Just how much liquids and lights did he save?
All these while, he had never known the mysterious Auric Halo had an ability either. Wouldn't this mean that he could use it to help him increase his other resonance grades next time too?
Li Luo focused his mind on the Auric Halo in his body once again. He noticed that the Auric Halo had become much quieter. It seemed like the outburst of energy earlier had caused considerable strain on the Auric Halo.
"The energy emitted earlier was extremely pure. It also has some similarity to the liquids and lights I consumed in the past. Does this mean that all this while, remnant traces of liquids and lights that I had not absorbed were stored in the Auric Halo?"
Li Luo could only make this guess. The stored remnants seemed to possess an even greater effect than when they were whole.
If this was really the case, this object was much more magical than he had ever imagined.
Li Luo wanted to try if he could replicate this once again. If the Auric Halo really had such an ability, he would be able to speed up the rate he increased his resonance grade significantly.
Excitement bubbled in his heart but he knew now was not the time. His figure moved swiftly as he leapt out of the Volcano Cauldron.
Li Jingzhe casually waved his hands and said, "The Heavenly Dragon resonance has emerged once again. This will definitely cause a commotion in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. The other four lineage chiefs may question you about it too. However, I will help you handle them."
The Heavenly Dragon resonance was the leader of all dragon resonances. It naturally held a special significance in the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. Whenever it emerged, the five lineages would fight to obtain this talent. In fact, it had been recorded in their history that there was one occasion when the Heavenly Dragon resonance once appeared in a distant extended clan. The five lineages sent people over to recruit the talent and to poach them into their own lineages. Alas this competition caused quite a bit of unhappy friction among them.
Its importance and uniqueness could not be understated.
Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon resonance was not natural. He had obtained it after birth. Under ordinary circumstances, the other lineages would definitely investigate it out of curiosity. This was unavoidable.
However, with Li Jingzhe helping him, Li Luo could avoid a lot of these troubles.
This was the perks of having a strong backing.
Li Luo quickly thanked his Grandfather once again.
"During the two months that you've been cultivating, a lot of things have happened. Calamity Mist has surfaced in the World End's River Region, which means that the Stygian Rain of Calamity is not too far away. The opening of the World End's River Treasure Domain will also be coming soon. This is one of the grandest affairs in the World End's River Region. Many elite Dukes from the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent will gather for it. Even upper grade Dukes who have been in seclusion may join in. After all, the temptation of a Foundational Spirit Treasure is irresistible for any Duke." Li Jingzhe explained.
Li Luo's eyes lit up with anticipation as he listened. He too was eyeing a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure. After all, that was an indispensable component in forging a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.
Unfortunately, a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure was too precious. Many upper grade Dukes would set their eyes on it as well. One could easily tell from how many people had came for the Sovereign Pearl back then. This Sovereign Pearl was simply one of the main ingredients in crafting a top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure and yet the fighting that broke out was endless. If it was a natural top grade Foundational Spirit Treasure itself, just how much blood would have to be spilled for it?
"Oh right."
Li Qingpeng suddenly spoke out from the side. "There's another piece of good news."
"Li Hongyou has begun to prepare to break into the Duke stage."
Li Luo was delighted to hear this but he was not surprised. Li Hongyou had reached the pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage for quite some time. She had accumulated and solidified her foundation for more than half a year. Now, it's finally time for her to proceed onwards.
Li Hongyou had a very special resonance and once she stepped into the Duke stage, she would be able to render significantly more assistance when it came to fighting in the World End's River Treasure Domain.
