Chapter 1651: Heavenly Emperors Demons
Endless thunderous booms filled the air as the towering stalk of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo swayed in the sky above. The aura that it emanated gradually intensified until it felt absolutely magnificent.
The aura continued to grow until crisp cracking sounds could be heard. It was as though a spring bamboo shoot was finally emerging from the shackles of the soil, witnessing the joy of the sun.
Everyone watched in awe as an explosive sea of golden lightning gushed out from the tip of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, raging between the heavens and the earth.
An elderly man gradually appeared in the midst of the lightning, emanating a majestic and terrifying aura.
The wizened man seemed a little unaccustomed to his body, so he stretched his arms and legs. Feeling a little more comfortable, he turned to Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e with a smile.
"You've had a rough time, you little brats."
That familiar face belonged to none other than Li Jingzhe, who hadn’t been seen for years.
The Dragon's Scale Lineage’s Lineage Chief Li Qingying stared at the man with eyes as wide as saucers, her mouth agape. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Lineage Chief Jingzhe? He... didn't he meet his downfall in the World's End River Region?"
However, she came to her senses a moment later. Judging by Li Luo's actions, he had clearly been cultivating that shoot of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
"Li Jingzhe didn't die that day. A strand of his consciousness was hidden away within the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Li Luo managed to bring him back to life!" she realized.
This wasn't just a simple rebirth, though. He was only a Quasi-Triple Crown King before his fall, but now the fellow was on the cusp of ascending to the Heavenly Emperor Stage! This was a metamorphosis of unbelievable proportions.
Li Qingying instantly understood the crux of the matter. "That old man must have encountered a wondrous opportunity."
