Chapter 1390: Greater Transcendent Duke
Eight glorious and titanic Duke Bergfrieds stood tall, akin to massive mountains as they quietly floated in the sky. They were emitting indescribable and vast energy undulations, like an unfathomable ocean. The aura of absolute perfection flowed around them, as though they were the most perfect objects in the world. Every single trace of it was filled with an inscrutable charm.
Meanwhile, Qin Baiyan, Li Jiluo, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of them also had their Duke Bergfrieds out. Originally, they possessed the most awe-inspiring array of Duke Bergfrieds in the Treasure Domain, but now they were overshadowed by Tan Tailan's. In fact, their Bergfireds began to subtly shake and the brilliance emitting from them was slightly restrained.
It was almost as though they feared her. After all, she stood at the very peak of the Duke Stage, a Transcendent Duke!
As one cultivated resonant power through the stages, only by becoming a Transcendent Duke could they be considered to have reached the true extremities of power.
A single step allowed them to ascend into the heavens. This was the only stage where they could surpass a King with the power of a Duke. Although Transcendent Dukes possessed an unrivaled reputation throughout the ages, the difficulty of reaching such a point was beyond one's imagination. The necessary confluence of talent, potential, and opportunity was rarely seen. Who knew just how many demonic geniuses had attempted the Path of Ascension throughout history. However, each Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried built was yet another incredible chasm they had to cross. Each step exhausted one’s limited amount of potential.
In the end, very, very few had managed to walk this path to the end. Thus, obtaining seven Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds would grant one the title of a Lesser Transcendent Duke.
Meanwhile, Tan Tailan had eight, which meant she was a Greater Transcendent Duke! In terms of battle ability, Greater Transcendent Dukes were able to match Dual Crowned Kings. Furthermore, even amongst Dual Crowned Kings, they stood at the top with exceptional battle strength. As a result, when Tan Tailan had revealed her eight Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, everyone—not only Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the rest of the crowd, but also the Faceless Other King—began to squirm.
One could see vast amounts of resonant power erupting from the top of the Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, and as the resonant power fused with the void, a gigantic golden throne began to materialize. The appearance of this throne affected all of the worldly natural energy within the World's End River Region; all of that energy surged into it like an endless sea. The divine throne was engraved with countless archaic runes and emanated dense source origin energy.
What was most eye-catching was a carving of a gigantic golden Peng on the throne, whose wings were spread out. The bird seemed as though it was alive, its sharp eyes looking down upon the land as its tyrannical aura pressed down upon everyone beneath.
