Chapter 1688: Ten Devil Kings of Sin
Li Luo's speculation caused his heart to beat wildly. His eyes then met with Jiang Qing'e's. Could the Radiant King have sensed this, something that not even Heavenly Emperors had noticed?
However, the fact that Jiang Qing'e was a transformation of the quasi tenth-grade light resonance was not a secret that Li Luo planned to hide. He merely didn't want to announce it now, as the Shadow World would surely focus on her if he did. Perhaps when they were both ninth-grade Transcendents, he could consider secretly informing the Heavenly Emperors of the divine continents.
Li Luo then recomposed his thoughts and cupped his hands towards him. "Thank you, Federation Head Qi Huang, for your assistance."
Qi Huang shouldered a heavy responsibility, having to watch over the peak Triple Crowned Devil Kings of the Shadow World. Despite that, he had opted to come here and save them. This was something Li Luo truly appreciated and was thankful for.
"Keeping an eye on the Origin Reversion Institute has always been the responsibility of the Divine Continent Federation. The Torch Dragon Underworld King having escaped our supervision to run to the East Divine Continent has brought you trouble and was our mistake," Qi Huang responded. "When Federation Head Tantai left, she also asked us to take good care of the two of you."
The Divine Continent Federation was a collective of the Heavenly Emperor powers within the divine continents. Although its main function was to coordinate between the numerous parties and had a relatively loose system, it played an important role when it came to critical battles against the Shadow World and the Origin Reversion Institute.
The position of the Federation Head would rotate between the peak experts who were trusted by all parties. In the past, after Tantai Lan had reached the Ninth Transcendent Duke Stage, she had shaken the world and served as the Federation Head for a while. Now that she had left the divine continents, the role had been passed onto Radiant King Qi Huang.
When Qi Huang spoke of Tantai Lan, his words were filled with admiration. "Federation Head Tantai possesses great potential. She is probably the first individual in the last thousand years to have reached the ninth-grade. This is an achievement that we truly envy and respect."
As a veteran King of the divine continents, Qing'e was also considered a blessed genius. He had once made headway on the Path of Ascension, having achieved results that were no worse than Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. Even so, he had failed to take that final and most important step.
Li Luo nodded. He himself had reached the peak of the Eighth Transcendent Duke Stage and was just one step away from the ninth. However, he knew exactly how wide the chasm between his current state and where he hoped to reach was. Even with the wondrous Absolute Resonance Seed and his black hole-like resonant palaces absorbing and refining worldly natural energy, he had made almost no progress. Tantai Lan herself had remained at the peak of the Eighth Transcendent Duke stage for years. It was only during the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate that she managed to make a breakthrough.
