Absolute Resonance Chapter 1010: An Arrow Slays Heavenly Resonance!

Chapter 1010: An Arrow Slays Heavenly Resonance!

When the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's eyes opened, the people around Li Luo could suddenly feel a ferocious and savage energy coming from his body. The energy was so domineering that even Elder Sister Jin was forced backwards several steps with absolute shock in her eyes.

When she looked at Li Luo, she could see him draw the bow without hesitation, and crimson energy condensed on the bowstring.

Bang!

Waves of turbulent energy surged from Li Luo's body, and the icy ground beneath him began to show signs of cracking.

His group hurriedly retreated.

Elder Sister Jin's eyes were as wide as saucers as she asked, "How can he burst forth with such terrifying energy?"

The energy coming from him was not any weaker than that of a Lesser Heavenly Resonance Tier cultivator, but the sheer fiendish aura coming from it was almost heartstopping.

"It looks like Third Brother has revealed yet another trump card," Li Jingtao answered with a look of surprise.

Deng Fengxian and Lu Qingmei, on the other hand, were looking at Li Luo with gazes full of astonishment. They had never seen Li Luo use this particular move, even during the Battle of the Dragon's Head.

However, they could guess that this fiendish energy did not come from him. It was not something he had cultivated on his own, but likely the result of borrowing external aid. With the Battle of the Dragon's Head's rules and the close observation of the Lineage Chiefs and elders, it was not appropriate to use it back then.

That said, when this external strength was wielded during a situation where one’s life was on the line, it was extraordinarily helpful.

Li Luo's expression remained serene as he felt the ferocious energy pouring out of the crimson bracelet. At the same time, he could feel a heavy sense of oppression emanating from the world around him.

This was likely the Spiritual Resonance Cave suppressing him.

Although the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf had Duke Stage strength, he could not easily wield all of it because of the rules laid down upon the cave.

However, it was more than enough to deal with the situation before him.

Berserk and boundless amounts of crimson energy continued to pour out, and Li Luo could feel the strain acc.u.mulating on his body. Both of his limbs were beginning to erode due to the sheer power, and even his bones were exposed.

Yet he remained nonchalant, the dragon sigil on his forehead bursting forth with resplendent light and releasing a draconic roar.

"Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body, Thunderpeal Avatar!" Both body-enhancing secret arts were activated simultaneously, bolstering his body and resisting the influence of the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's energy.

In the past, Li Luo had to also watch out for the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's mental strain on his mind. As Princ.i.p.al Pang had mentioned, mobilizing too much of the wolf's power would inevitably corrupt his consciousness and eventually turn him into the wolf's thrall.

The bright side was that this hidden danger had been mostly reduced due to Li Luo's ingenious means of controlling the power. He had taught the Nine Revolutions Draconic Breath to the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf and then activated the state of Harmony to tap upon its power.

It was as though he had a Green Nether Banner by his side at all times.

A wolf was comparable to eight thousand members! With his augmented body, he was able to forcefully tolerate the erosion of the crimson energy as his fingers fully drew the bow. Energy continued to condense on the bowstring, eventually transforming into a crimson arrow that struggled wildly like an untamed beast attempting to escape. Terrifying energy undulations pulsed in every direction from its body.

The target of the arrow was Mu Yao, whose expression began to change.

The fact that Li Luo could summon up such an arrow was unimaginable to him. His skin was p.r.i.c.kling with piercing pain just from the fact that the arrow had simply been locked onto him.

The arrow gave him the feeling that the grim reaper was lurking before him.

With death looming overhead, Mu Yao flashed backwards in a hurry the very moment Li Luo had drawn the bowstring, retreating thousands of feet away. At the same time, he grunted and executed a series of hand seals in a flurry.

Bang!

The earth trembled, and a gigantic wall of earth arose from the ground like the walls surrounding a city, protecting him from the front. Mu Yao's intentions were clear. As Li Luo's strength was borrowed, he naturally had some sort of limitation. If this fatal blow could be avoided, there would be an opportunity for a counterattack.

Looking at the fleeing Mu Yao, Li Luo's gaze flickered with an almost merciless glint. He glanced at his bloodstained fingers, which were keeping the bow drawn. He could sense that the arrow created from the crimson energy was even stronger than the Underworld Thunder Runic Arrow he had employed previously.

"I name this... the Heavenly Wolf's Smite." After Li Luo named his new move, he gingerly released the bowstring. An ear-rending howl was heard, causing all of the remaining icicles in the cave to shatter into icy fragments.

Even his hand was blown into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess by the sheer power released from the arrow.

Bang!

A ray of crimson light penetrated through the air. Soon, it transformed into a snarling, monstrous wolf that emitted an evil aura.

The light pa.s.sed through layer after layer of Mu Yao’s defensive walls, reducing them to nothingness the moment they attempted to obstruct the arrow.

In just a breath's worth of time, the ground was ravaged and everything was annihilated in the wake of the attack.

The scarlet light quickly magnified in Mu Yao's eyes as it rapidly approached him. He could feel all of his hairs standing on ends and began to sweat profusely. He knew that ordinary methods were meaningless before this attack, so he activated the Duke Art he had prepared.

As he retreated, he executed a hand seal with a single hand before slamming his palm onto the ground beneath him.

Bang!

The earth trembled, and seven gigantic gates took form and were arrayed before him. Each gate was over a thousand feet tall and was tightly shut, flowing with runes on every inch of their surface.

Duke Art: Nine Immovable Earthen Gates! Although this was a Communion-grade Duke Art, Mu Yao had spent a lot of blood and sweat toiling over it and had reached the Greater Completion realm, allowing him to generate seven gates. It was a perfect match for his earth resonance and was one his greatest life-saving measures. Alas, it was a pity that it was not enough. The seven grand gates of earth barely blocked the arrow for just a few breaths of time before getting completely destroyed. The unstoppable beam of crimson light continued zooming through the air in pursuit of the quickly fleeing Mu Yao.

At that instant, Mu Yao could only hear the thundering boom of the wind as the arrow surpa.s.sed the speed of sound.

Mud gushed out of his every orifice, surrounding his entire body. Bang!

Before everyone's eyes, the crimson arrow pierced his body, dragging him along as it brutally nailed him to an icy mountain on the far side of the cave.

Part of the frigid mountain of ice couldn't withstand the impact either, quickly breaking apart and collapsing into an avalanche that rolled down the side.

Mighty energy undulations continued to emanate from the point of impact as the thick ice covering the entire cave also began to shatter from the sheer force of the attack.

The chaotic unrest that had previously blanketed the cave soon subsided into a deathly silence and stillness. Countless dazed gazes were focused upon the point of impact.

Mu Yao's body was still stubbornly nailed to the icy mountain, his limp body flailing amidst the biting and turbulent winds.
