Chapter 1087: Going Big
Surrounded by the lively cheers of the crowd, Li Luo entered the platform for the final fight. It was an extremely wide area dotted with mysterious stone peaks of all shapes and sizes.
Looking down from above, it looked like a cave that had been carved out with a sword.
Here, the noise from the outside world was shut off completely. Li Luo gradually regained his composure as he stood silently on the peak on his own. He wasn't anxious at all despite the sudden challenge that had surfaced.
His eyes scanned his surroundings before they locked onto the highest peak in the area. He unfurled his energy wings, flying directly into the sky and landing on top.
Tightly clenching his fists, the Dragon Elephant Blade materialized in his hand. He stood aloof and peered into the distance calmly.
"This spot should be conspicuous enough, right?"
The other three squads from the sage colleges would likely notice him pretty soon. After that, they would undoubtedly come after him from all sides.
Li Luo did not intend to hide and stay low as most had expected when pitted against the three full squads. On the contrary, he stood at the most obvious spot. He was planning to face off against all three at the same time.
Many of the spectators were puzzled by his unexpected move. Chatter began to spread as they discussed his unusual stance.
"Is Li Luo crazy?! What, does he want to save them the trouble of finding him?!"
"Haha, he must have chosen to give up. That's to be expected. After all, he stands no chance of victory in such a situation. It's better for him to be eliminated early."
"No way! What's Li Luo doing? He should hide in a secluded spot so that the other three squads won't be able to find him. In that case, they'll surely fight against one another sooner or later. He should come out only after their strength has been diminished. At least he'll still have a slim chance of victory then. Jumping out so recklessly now is just asking for death!"
"Sigh. It's over. I thought he would produce a miracle for the sage colleges of the outer divine continents."
Heated discussions ensued. The sage colleges from the inner divine continents watched the proceedings as if it was a joke, while those from the outer divine continents lowered their heads in disappointment. They could not understand Li Luo's suicidal behavior.
Lu Ming, Sun Dasheng, and Jing Taixu also looked at each other in confusion. They were similarly in disbelief when they saw what Li Luo had done.
"Li Luo is not foolish or careless. He must have his reasons for doing that!" Lu Ming stood up for Li Luo as she looked at the other outer divine continent sage colleges not too far away. They had begun to talk badly about him as they could not understand his intentions.
"Forget it, just ignore them. They can't stand up for themselves, yet they're criticizing someone who can do what they could neve rdream of," Jing Taixu told her. "Li Luo is not fighting for their sake anyway. He wouldn't care about their words."
Lu Ming sighed helplessly. Her charming eyes were fixed on the figure standing atop the stone peak.
Standing tall with a blade in hand, Li Luo had a certain handsome allure to him. Sadly, this would not last long. Amidst the gossip amongst the spectators, Mentor Chi Chan was surprisingly calm. She focused on the figure standing in the middle of the battlefield. The young boy she had met over a year ago had matured. Even after he left for the inner divine continent full of talents, he continued to thrive in the limelight.
She had already seen numerous miracles created by his hands. As such, it might just happen again.
Gao Xuhan and Gu Jing's expressions turned blank when they heard this. They could not be bothered to banter with Li Luo any further. In the blink of an eye, huge amounts of resonant power surged up within their bodies.
Two illusory gold seals could be faintly seen within their enormous resonant power. They continuously absorbed the worldly natural energy from their surroundings, exuding tremendous pressure.
"Junior Li Luo, that joke is not funny at all," Tong Yan responded with a smile as she summoned her resonant power as well. The Heavenly Resonance Golden Seal surfaced from her body.
The three Illusory Seal-grade elites stood in the air with devastating presences. Any other Heavenly Pearl opponent would have been suffocated to death by the sheer pressure alone.
Behind the three of them, the rest of their squads formed an encirclement and gave off murderous intent. However, Li Luo remained unfazed. His grayish-white hair fluttered lightly as the wind blew. His fingers tapped the handle of his blade lightly, as if there was some rhythm to it.
In the eyes of others, it seemed unwise for him to lure all of his foes over at once. However, that was only because they did not understand him well.
To Li Luo, it did not matter whether it was one or three of them.
Just activating his ultimate move once would finish everyone off. Naturally, it was more efficient for him to gather them up and take them all out in one go.
Li Luo closed his eyes as his mind focused on his waterlight resonant palace. On the calm surface of the lake were around ten water pearls filled with source origin energy. He had used up a huge amount back in his fight against Chen Xuan, and there simply wasn't enough time to replenish his supply.
However, Li Luo was not planning to use them here.
He looked directly at the clear lake. There were five Primordial Golden Seals swimming inside like lively carps.
"This time, we'll have to go big," Li Luo thought to himself.
Along with his thought, huge waves started churning on the surface of the clear lake, and a whirlpool suddenly erupted within it. The five Primordial Golden Seals were activated, and at that moment, a steady stream of golden light emerged from each and every seal.
When the golden rays of light stretched out, the five Primordial Golden Seals gradually began to dim.
Li Luo's resonant power began to spike at an astonishing speed as the golden light filled with source origin energy fused with his resonant power.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
Five radiant Heavenly Pearls materialized behind him. Following this, more and more appeared...
When the eighth Heavenly Pearl materialized, a huge commotion broke out among the spectators.
Eight Heavenly Pearls!
Li Luo had strengthened himself once again!
Nonetheless, he did not stop here. He focused his mind and activated the True Dragon Seed Pill within his body. At the same time, he looked towards the bewildered Gao Xuhan and the group and smiled.
"Everyone, I am about to go big."
True Dragon Seed Pill, Dragonification!
