Chapter 1384: The Black Lotus Appears
When the domineering newcomers emanating mighty undulations of resonant power appeared in the sky above them, Qin Beiming, Li Zhihuo, Lu Shuanglu, and the rest were moved to the brink of tears. They could finally sense the tension in their minds loosening.
After which, they miserably slumped on the ground as their chests heaved heavily, like drowning men struggling to climb to shore, greedily slurping up the air.
The sight of the high-grade Dukes had made them emotional.
Their deeply longed for expectations were finally fulfilled. Their reinforcements had finally arrived.
With these Dukes here, they would no longer have to bear the brunt of the pressure of resolving the situation. After all, if the sky were to fall, these greater beings would be the ones to keep the sky lifted up. If they couldn't, everyone would die together and it wouldn't matter anyways.
All of the Dukes from the different powers had rushed over. Shock and anger filled them when they witnessed the tragic scene, quickly splitting up into different directions to search for their descendents. Unfortunately, some were fatally injured and some pained roars rang out. It seemed that individuals close to those Dukes had died in this disaster.
They had come too late and they were only in time to witness their deaths. At the same time, the entire situation was explained to the newcomers.
"What? Qin Lian was killed by Li Luo after he destroyed one of his Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfrieds?" When they found out that Qin Lian had fallen, some of the more well-known high-grade Dukes in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent were completely flabbergasted. After which, they shot gazes full of disbelief towards the pale and seated figure. It was important to note that Qin Lian was an eighth-grade Duke! And she wasn't your average rogue cultivator—she was from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin. She possessed exceptional talent and had built a robust foundation in order to climb to the peak. In fact, the number of Dukes present that were capable of challenging Qin Lian could be counted on one hand. Yet that mighty woman had been struck down by the hands of a junior who had just broken into the Duke Stage. That said, Li Luo had paid an incredible price, sacrificing a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, something so valuable that even a high-grade Duke would treat it as an incredible treasure. Who could’ve imagined that he would be willing to bear the backlash and take this risk, all to fight for his life?
That was an eighth-grade Duke he had challenged! Thinking back, wasn't it a little too monstrous to have achieved this feat? Even considering the price he had paid?
