Chapter 1725: Sealing the Desire Devil King of Sin
Li Luo hadn't seen Lu Qing'er ever since they separated at the Celestial Mirror Pagoda around seven years ago.
Lu Qing'er stood tall and graceful atop the torrent of silverish frosty sword energy. She was even more beautiful than seven years ago. Her skin was as white as snow, giving off a crystal-like sheen, as if she was crafted from the finest white jade. Her form-fitting dress accentuated her slender figure, as though she was a snow lotus swaying in the cold. Some strands of her long, black hair were now icy blue, each giving off a chilly aura. Her slender legs below the hem of her short dress were exposed to the cool air, resembling something sculpted from flawless jade and shining brightly.
However, the pure white stockings that once made Li Luo stop and stare were nowhere to be seen. He shifted his attention to her eyes. Those once-lively and intelligent eyes had turned into ice blocks, completely still and resolute. Complicated feelings arose within Li Luo's heart. The beautiful girl he had met in Southwind Academy was gone.
"Lu Taiyi from Golden Dragon Mountain... Qi Huang actually managed to convince that old turtle to come out!" Zhen Linshuang exclaimed in surprise.
"I had no idea that there was a Supreme Triple Crowned King in Golden Dragon Mountain," Li Luo said.
Zhen Linshuang scoffed. "The only reason he reached the Supreme Triple Crowned King Stage is because he spent a long time accumulating resources. It isn't representative of his ability."
"What does that mean?" Li Luo asked curiously.
Zhen Linshuang glared at him. She wanted to ignore him, but in the end, she inexplicably replied, "Lu Taiyi is an ancient fellow. His talent was never amazing when compared to his peers, but his ability to survive is unmatched. He has outlasted all of the peerless geniuses of his generation. The reason he has managed to live this long is because he has a rare resonance, the Longevity Turtle resonance. The Longevity Turtle is a rarely seen ancient spirit beast and is hard to find nowadays. It has only one ability: a long lifespan that surpasses even the Dragon Race.
"The Longevity Turtle resonance has allowed him to live for so long that he has even witnessed the fall of a Heavenly Emperor. He slowly pushed his foundation to the absolute pinnacle and became a Supreme Triple Crowned King. Lu Taiyi did not reach the peak through attempting the Path of Ascension, but purely accumulated effort over an extremely long period of time. However, this is his limit as his lifespan is finally about to reach its end. He has not revealed himself to the world for a hundred years, but he actually came out in order to hunt down the Desire Devil King of Sin."
Zhen Linshuang's in-depth explanation enlightened Li Luo, who marvelled at the whole situation. It was indeed true that the world was filled with all kinds of miracles. This was the first time that he had heard that someone could temper and polish their foundation to the point that they could reach the Supreme Triple Crowned King Stage without following the Path of Ascension. If Qi Huang had reached the Supreme Triple Crowned King Stage by his quality, it could be said that Lu Taiyi had done it with immense quantity.
Meanwhile, with Lu Taiyi having blocked the Famine Devil King of Sin's attack, Qi Huang formed a fist and struck outwards. The majestic temple shot out in response, completely crushing the Death Devil King of Sin's attack.
The gigantic pale face at the crack on the Realm Wall let out a furious cry. However, as it was attempting to attack from across the wall, it was difficult to exert its full strength. All it could do was watch as the Heavenly Radiance Godly Palace rumbled, moving to suppress the Desire Devil King of Sin shortly after.
