Chapter 1380: Destroying His Bergfried
Severing one's own Duke Bergfried was a desperate measure that was not considered to be too rare amongst Dukes. Whenever a Duke Bergfried was destroyed, it would generate a massive influx of energy that would far exceed one's own level. However, a Duke Bergfried was the culmination of one's potential and foundation. Many Dukes had spent immense amounts of sweat and blood just to forge one. Just how difficult would it be to reforge it again? Thus, some Dukes would choose to die rather than do such a thing.
Jiang Qing'e had not expected that Li Luo would be this decisive. After all, it was a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried!
Countless geniuses and talents sought them as the pinnacles of achievement. Countless opportunities and resources were used to create them, so who in their right mind would be willing to destroy their own Bergfried?
However... Jiang Qing'e's heart trembled. Li Luo had chosen to destroy the second Duke Bergfried, which was flawed to begin with. She had originally thought that he had acted too hastily. Now that she looked at it, it was clear this was all part of his plan. Perhaps during his breakthrough in the onyx cauldron, Li Luo had already foresaw the dire situation they would be trapped in. Thus, he had consciously opted to forcefully construct the second Duke Bergfried. The second Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried was never intended to be kept forever—he had planned to catalyze its destruction to escape from the situation!
The determination that Li Luo was demonstrating was simply praiseworthy, especially considering it was a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried. Jiang Qing'e looked him up and down. Without her realization, the youth with blank palaces in the City of Southwind had transformed into someone who possessed exceptional charm and courage.
A hint of gratitude welled up in her heart. The Archaic Runes on her forehead began to glow ever more brightly and the two Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds above her began to emit an even mightier sacred aura, blocking off the karmic flames.
With Li Luo's Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried shattering, a burst of boundless energy surged outwards. The energy was violent and directly smashed the void apart, creating numerous rifts. Li Luo felt his insides churn. The act of destroying his own Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried had critically harmed his body. The only upside was that his second Duke Bergfried had not been perfectly formed and thus was not perfectly synchronized with his body. Otherwise, the backlash might have been unbearable.
He forcefully resisted the pain surging through his body as his hands formed a seal. The first Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried began to emit incredible devouring strength as it absorbed all of the energy resulting from the destruction of the other.
Their energies came from the same source and thus, it was very easily absorbed.
