Chapter 1375: The Couple Join Hands Battling Qin Lian!
"Hahaha! Two measly second-grade Transcendent Dukes dare to claim that they will kill me?" When faced with Li Luo's murderous declaration, Qin Lian began to guffaw crazily. Her long hair danced in the wind and an ocean of viscous corruption overflowed out of her body, covering almost half the sky.
The oppressive feeling she gave off made it difficult for the lower-grade Dukes to even breathe.
Everyone had faces full of worry. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e might have had a stupendous rise in strength, but they were still a little too weak. Even if they were both third-grade, Qin Lian would still have an overwhelming advantage over them. Qin Beiming and the rest of the fifth-grade Dukes had joined hands previously, and some had ended up dying pitifully. Just how much better could the two of them do?
As they were lost in worry, Qin Lian took a step forward and her cold voice rang out.
"Eight Bergfrieds Empowerment! Duke's Worldspace Domain!"
The eight towering Duke Bergfrieds that resembled humongous mountains began to emit terrifying resonant power undulations. The world started to darken at this moment.
Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest had ugly expressions. Qin Lian was no longer holding back, fully activating the power of her Duke's Worldspace Domain. This meant that all of the worldly natural energy within her domain would fall under her control. It had become onerous for them to wield worldly natural energy to assist in the battle. This was why Dukes were strong; their Bergfrieds were able to resonate with worldly natural energy and thus mobilize it and augment their own attacks.
However, Qin Lian's eight Duke Bergfrieds had strengthened her Worldspace Domain and wrestled control from everyone else, weakening them immensely.
"I want you to know that a second-grade Transcendent Duke is nothing more than a worm shaking a tree before absolute power! I will let you personally taste despair and death!" Qin Lian waved her pale hand, and her Duke Bergfrieds began to emit black smoke into the skies, forming two gigantic, obsidian-colored meteors.
Each meteor blazed with sooty flames and possessed incredible annihilative power. They streaked through the void, smashing towards Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo. Ear-rending booms could be heard as the meteors descended.
Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, and the rest stared in shock. Qin Lian was significantly stronger than she was earlier and was radiating a completely different level of hatred compared to before.
If they were on the receiving end of that attack, considering the fact that their Duke Bergfrieds had been suppressed, they would definitely perish.
When the rune fused with the divine light, its appearance turned even more exquisite and glorious. In fact, it looked like a rainbow-colored divine dragon!
"Transcendent Divine Mist is truly miraculous." Li Luo sighed when he sensed that the Divine Mist from his Duke Bergfrieds had bolstered his Demon Smiting Light significantly. After cultivating with no break for several years, he was finally able to truly experience the sheer power of a Duke without the aid of others.
A moment later, the divine light arced across the horizon together with the beautiful sword of light, directly colliding with the descending meteors. Bang!
When the attacks collided, terrifying twisters and gales buffeted the area and energy shockwaves permeated in every direction. Those who were weaker were sent flying and their internals were shaken by the sheer force. Despite that, they continued to stare at the point where the attacks had clashed. The void showed signs of collapsing and a storm of energy raged wantonly. The two black flame meteors were gradually pulverized into black motes of light in the sky.
At the same time, the dazzling divine light and sword of light shattered as their energy was consumed.
The attack had been blocked!
Looks of glee appeared in everyone’s eyes. This was the first time since Qin Lian had arrived that they had managed to fend off her attacks. Despite the growing happiness of the crowd, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e didn't share in their sentiment. They had only managed to stop Qin Lian's probing blow, which was nothing worth celebrating.
Qin Lian's vortex-like eyes began to churn. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had shrugged off the controlling effects of her Worldspace Domain, which was out of her expectations. Furthermore, although she knew that a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried was considered perfect and gave their user great strength, it didn't have such an ability.
That said, her casual attack had already forced their hand and she had learned something important.
Thus, what came next would be important...
Qin Lian took a step forward, and her voice, which resembled the coldest winter, rang out.
"Destiny-grade Duke Art? You're not the only ones with that. I have one too."
