Chapter 616 - Triple Resonance Completion
Chapter 0616: Triple Resonance Completion
Li Luo had finally obtained a well-deserved night of rest. Opening his windows, he gave a lazy yawn as he stretched while basking in the radiance of the rising sun. A smile crept over his face as he thought of his successful breakthrough the day before. A single night was not enough to dampen his excitement just yet.
"I'm finally at the Earth Fiend General Stage!" He sighed. His gaze held a hint of pride that could not be concealed. Well, there was no need to, as this was something worth celebrating.
A year ago, he was merely someone with blank palaces. Then he became a dual resonance user who cultivated with terrifying speed, far surpassing all his peers. Ah... he had to correct himself—those who were ONCE his peers.
There was no one who could even come close to touching him in the Two Star Hall of the Astral Sage College.
If he was being a little arrogant then... frankly speaking, he was even amongst the very best in the entire East Divine Continent when it came to Two Star Hall students. He couldn't claim to be the best, as it was likely the Ao Bai had made some improvements himself since the Holy Grail Meet, likely even breaking through into the Fiend Palace Tier himself.
His results and massive improvements spoke for themselves. Honestly, even a ninth-grade resonance user didn't mean much to him!
However, Li Luo also understood that this breakthrough had required his lucky stars to align. If not for his bloodline power awakening, assisting him with refining copious amounts of earth fiend energy, he would not have managed to succeed so cleanly. At best, he'd be at the Quasi General Stage.
Well, this was unavoidable. Time was tight when it came to his lifespan and the Housemeet, so he had to do everything possible to improve himself.
There were times where one could only squeeze out their potential through extreme circumstances.
.
"My waterlight resonant power seems to have become several times more dense than before." Li Luo could feel the surging waves of resonant power that occupied his resonant palace. The sense of power was completely superior to that of before, and it was unbelievable to him. No wonder there was such a huge gap between Resonant Masters and those at the General Stage.
Additionally, he had dual resonances, so once the woodearth resonance was completely tempered, the difference would only become bigger.
After fully immersing himself in the feeling of the dramatically increased amount of resonant power within him for a bit longer, Li Luo closed the window and proceeded to sit cross-legged. A look of intense anticipation was clear in his gaze.
What he was going to do next was something that he had craved for even more than the breakthrough to the Fiend Palace Tier.
It was the dawn of his third resonance.
When he had first discovered his three resonant palaces, they had brought him both copious amounts of joy and sorrow. This was mind-blowing talent. After all, three resonant palaces was the mark of a King!
And just how lofty were those at the King Stage? There was only one single King in the entire Xia Kingdom: Principal Pang. Even when placed amongst the elites of the inner divine continent, such an individual would also be at the peak of power.
Thus, possessing three mortal resonant palaces was a fact that could even kill people with sheer envy!
This was true genius bestowed by the heavens!
At this point in time, Li Luo had already imagined himself as the protagonist of legends. Yet all of these lofty dreams came crashing down a moment later.
After all, the three resonant palaces were empty.
He truly possessed three resonant palaces but none possessed a single resonance.
The scene had left Li Luo dumbstruck.
Without resonances, it didn't matter how many resonant palaces he had, as he would have no ability to absorb worldly natural energy and thus cultivate.
Fortune and tragedy had truly come in spades, and Li Luo almost fainted on the spot.
Life was making a fool of him.
Yet his parents had managed to leave him a path out of this abyss in the form of the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art. Li Luo trudged ahead, finally breaking through into the General Stage. And now he was on the cusp of obtaining his third resonance. The day he had long anticipated had arrived.
.
Li Luo lifted his palm, and a golden, triangular plate appeared. The center had a groove where a single, small flame was prancing about. After a month's worth of nourishing, the previously unstable Thunder Dragon resonance had finally become a lot more stable.
"Finally.... the Thunder Dragon resonance."
His gaze blazed with trepidation as he stared at the flickering flame. He had dreamed and longed for this day for too long. Once complete, his three resonant palaces would reach completion. If he went against someone of the same tier, he would not lose even if that person had a true ninth-grade resonance.
He'd leave Jing Taixu's quasi ninth-grade in the dust.
The only pity was that even with three resonances, it would be exceedingly difficult to fuse the three into triple resonance power. He had barely touched upon the realm of mastering dual resonances, much less the significantly more complicated triple resonances.
Regardless, this was enough. He'd beat his opponents with sheer quantity.
He'd have ridiculous amounts of resonant power in reserve, and that would allow him to trample over any opponent at the same level.
"Though I wonder how large the price would be..." Li Luo mused to himself. He couldn't help but feel slightly perturbed. These acquired resonances were unique, and he had to pay a price to fuse with each one. The first was the most severe, leaving him with five years left to live. The second just wasted his foundation. Fortunately, Ox Biaobiao had the methods to reverse this issue and assist him with recovery; otherwise, endless troubles awaited him in future.
There would definitely be a price for the third resonance. The only question was whether his Earth Fiend General Stage strength could afford it.
Still, he would pay any price as he was on the path of no return.
At this point, he raised his hand and removed the Thunder Dragon resonance from its nest before swallowing it without hesitation and activating the Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art.
Boom!
Right at this moment, his body seemed to echo out with draconic roars and the booms of thunder. A mysterious light shot right into his body, diving directly towards his third blank palace.
At the same time, he could feel his resonant power and blood essence being consumed at a terrifying pace.
"I hope I can hold on!" he murmured to himself.
The door to Li Luo's bedroom remained tightly shut from dawn till late at night.
Eventually, the door was lightly pushed open.
Li Luo's tottering body gingerly stepped out. His complexion was alabaster white and he seemed a little haggard and shriveled. His eyes were sunken and his body even seemed a little dessicated. Not only had he been sucked dry of resonant power, but his blood essence was completely spent. If not for the Thunderpeal Avatar bolstering his physique, he might very well have turned into a dry husk.
As a result, Li Luo felt an extreme sense of weakness.
With a shaking fist, he lightly knocked on the door frame, summoning the maid who usually served him. "Please hurry and arrange a meal for me... preferably with something that can replenish my blood essence, and send it to my room. Be quiet and don't let Qing'e know..." he gasped.
The maid, seeing Li Luo's pale visage in the middle of the night, almost had the fright of her life! It was like meeting a ghost in the flesh! After which, her expression turned a little strange. It was late at night and yet Li Luo was prancing around, looking clearly overexerted for some reason... The only reason could be that he was engaging in some debaucherous acts!
“Young Lord, what changed in you, to turn you so brazen and crazy?”
The maid enviously took a glance in the direction of Li Luo's room. Just what sort of wench had sucked him so dry?
It was no wonder Li Luo didn't want her to let the young mistress know...
"Hurry!" Seeing the maid in a daze, Li Luo quickly chided her.
Not one to be told twice, she hurriedly left to satisfy her young lord's request...
After which, he hobbled back to his room and shut the door. Although he was short of breath and absolutely exhausted as he leaned against it, a smile bloomed on his face.
He had passed the third trial without any serious consequences!
From now on, his three resonant palaces were complete.
