Chapter 1622: Bitter Battle
A melody with the power to obliterate everything in its path swept across the world. Wherever it passed, the blood sea vaporized at an astonishing speed. Even worldly natural energy was reduced to its most primal form, mere energy particles.
The Monarch Burying Dirge was capable of penetrating every form of cover, leaving its target no place to hide. Once it took form, everything in its range would be destroyed.
Most importantly, Shen Jinxiao was about to get hit with the full brunt of this blow. His expression grew solemn as he could sense that his body was already in its range. The terrifying sword energy was all-encompassing, grinding away at the countless layers of energy he had erected around his body.
"So this is how the Enchanting Fox King was killed? It’s truly a tyrannical Transcendent Art. Li Luo, you're a disaster." Shen Jinxiao's expression was grave. Li Luo's sword formation had put him under a great deal of pressure.
Li Luo wasn’t being empowered by the Heavenly Dragon Formation, so he was not as powerful as he was when he killed the Enchanting Fox King. With that said, Shen Jinxiao was not as strong as the Enchanting Fox King, an experienced Other King. He had just entered the King Stage after all.
Transcendent Arts were the most powerful attacks in the world, and they were so rare that not all Kings had the luxury of learning one. Li Luo had one though, and it was clearly extraordinary.
Shen Jinxiao tightly clutched his banner and let out a roar. Boundless resonant power surged out of his body and into the King's Blood and Bone Devil Banner. The next instant, a vast river of blood poured out of the banner, and a humongous figure emerged from it. It was a blood-red devil manifestation with a height in the hundreds of thousands of feet. The devil manifestation seemed to have been crafted out of blood jades, and its entire body burned with sanguine flames.
"Blood Devil resonance!"
The Blood Jade Devil manifestation emitted King Stage source origin undulations and enveloped Shen Jinxiao, becoming an impenetrable suit of armor.
The Monarch Burying Dirge ground away at the Blood Devil manifestation, causing the flames on its body to gradually weaken. Countless sword scars were left on the jade bones, ruining the runic patterns.
However, the Blood Jade Devil manifestation did not shatter. As it was powered by Shen Jinxiao's King Stage strength and the King's Blood and Bone Devil Banner, it was nothing to scoff at.
