Chapter 1687: Radiant King Qi Huang
The vast divine rain of light seemed endless. Wherever it landed, Others were vaporized. The corruption that permeated the battlefield began to dissipate. The crowd raised their eyes in surprise, looking at the figure striding over on his road made of light.
Quite a few of the Kings in the Eastern Region Federation were principals of sage colleges. When they recognized who had arrived, their expressions were filled with excitement and they greeted him respectfully.
Qi Huang held a lofty position within the Academic Federation and was known as the Radiant King. Everyone had heard his name at least once after the Origin Reversion War started. His position and presence had become especially important, because no Heavenly Emperors were allowed to assist the divine continents.
Li Luo looked at Qi Huang in surprise. He was like a golden sun, emitting boundless sacred light. He had only ever experienced such a sensation from Jiang Qing'e.
Radiant King Qi Huang. He was a well known individual, even to Li Luo. To his surprise, the Radiant King transformed into a beam of light and appeared before him. The man was well-built and tall, resembling a sturdy mountain and giving off a heavy sense of oppression.
Qi Huang's incandescent eyes released vast amounts of light as he looked at Torch Dragon Underworld King and said, "Torch Dragon Underworld King, you're the Thirteen Underworld Kings' leader, yet you chose to sneak around like a rat, plotting to take down two juniors. Don't you think that's a little shameful?"
The Torch Dragon Underworld King's expression remained indifferent. "Juniors? Have you ever seen such monstrous juniors? Two eighth-grade Transcendent Dukes are joining hands—if I don't take action myself, who else can deal with them?"
Qi Huang was unable to retort, as his opponent wasn't wrong. Only peak Triple Crowned Kings could possibly hope to defeat Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. Sending anyone weaker was the equivalent of offering them as tribute. Furthermore, not even the Torch Dragon Underworld King himself was guaranteed to defeat them, as seen with what had just happened.
All that could be said was that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had become individuals of repute and exceptional strength. Dealing with them wasn't such a straightforward task any longer, and this made the Torch Dragon Underworld King frustrated. He had long wished to attack Li Luo, but the ladder had been in seclusion for a long time.
The Torch Dragon Underworld King wanted to prevent Li Luo's breakthrough and devour his Absolute Resonance Halo. However, he had to consider the looming threat of Li Jingzhe, so he had no choice but wait until the Heavenly Emperor Edict came into full effect and completely expelled all Heavenly Emperors from the divine continents.
