Chapter 1780: Opening Battle

The man with the golden sun robes took in the world around him with a dazed and bewildered expression. After a long while, a glimmer of focus and concentration returned to his eyes.

"Yan Changsheng, Su Ying, it has been a while," said Wang Taixi. As he looked at the two familiar faces, he asked with a complicated expression, "Why have you revived me, and not the Sect Master?"

Yan Changsheng and Su Ying fell silent. After Wang Taixi had been resurrected, they had explained the downfall of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect to him, but it was clear he simply refused to believe it. After all, the Sect Master was an invincible being in his eyes and couldn't possibly have fallen to the Origin of Absolute Corruption.

"Wang Taixi, the Sacred Void Resonance Sect vanished long ago. However, the ten divine continents are now facing an existential threat. You and I must uphold our sect's legacy and do our utmost to protect the world," Su Ying softly replied.

Wang Taixi raised his head, his eyes affixed on the inky black rain that blotted out the sky. He then turned his attention towards the numerous devilish figures that were floating in the air, his expression turning icy.

At this moment, at the edge of the void, the Grand Devil Kings frowned as they watched the trio leave the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

"So it seems that these are remnants of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect... The Void Resonance's Six Sons," said the Sightless Underworld Grand Devil King

It was the number one ranked Grand Devil King of this era, but it wasn't alive back when the Sacred Void Resonance Sect reigned supreme. However, through the records left behind by the earlier generations of the Shadow World, countless genetic memories were awakened within it. Thanks to those memories, it could recognize the trio's faces.

The memories had originated from ancient Grand Devil Kings, and the Sightless Underworld Grand Devil King could sense that his progenitors felt great fear when encountering the Void Resonance's Six Sons.

Clearly, these remnants were Heavenly Emperor Jiang's trump cards. Seeing that the Grand Devil Kings were shaken by the appearance of this trio caused the Heavenly Emperors to feel a sense of joy.

At this time, the void behind the trio started to distort as three more figures strode out. Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Bai Mengmeng had arrived.

Li Luo first looked at the Shadow World's annihilating black rain, then he said to Heavenly Emperor Jiang and the rest with a smile, "Heavenly Emperor Jiang, I have not failed you. I've allowed the three seniors to come out."

Heavenly Emperor Jiang couldn't help but sigh emotionally. This was because despite working hard for countless years, the Heavenly Emperors hadn't contributed nearly as much as Li Luo had in just two decades.

"Heavenly Emperor Luo, you are truly the divine continents' lucky star. On behalf of all the living beings, I thank you for your grand contributions," Heavenly Emperor Jiang replied sincerely.

The other Heavenly Emperors also nodded reverently. They all knew that Li Luo's actions had lifted a great amount of weight off their shoulders. Three combatants at the Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor Realm meant that they could deal with three similar counterparties. Without Li Luo's revival ability, the normal Heavenly Emperors would have been thrown into the depths of despair.

Li Luo cupped his hands humbly, saying, "Countless predecessors have sacrificed themselves to guard the divine continents. I am only doing what I'm supposed to. Strictly speaking, I've not truly revived Wang Taixi. With my current strength, I'm not capable of resurrecting a former Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor. The Wang Taixi you see before you is dead. He is merely relying on the life force of the lifedeath resonance to sustain himself and cannot last too long. Once the life force runs out, his consciousness will dissipate."

Li Luo gave Wang Taixi an apologetic look. He had done his best, but the latter wasn't in the same condition as Yan Changsheng and Su Ying. Wang Taixi had truly died and his corpse had suffered damage within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda. After all, his bones had been turned into powder and had been used by the Academic Federation to nurture countless exceptional students.

Thus, Wang Taixi was effectively a zombie of sorts. His strength had fallen from the Divine Fruit Realm, so he was now a step below, at the Quasi-Divine Fruit Realm.

Wang Taixi's expression was calm as he gave a shallow smile, saying, "Thank you, my young friend. I have no desire to cling onto life, but if I can contribute to the divine continents one final time, my death will have been more than worthy. Although I'm not as strong as I used to be, I should be more than capable of holding back a single Divine Fruit Grand Devil King."

Li Luo respectfully clasped his hands towards Wang Taixi, then his attention turned towards Bai Mengmeng. Her condition was rather unique as her originally innocent-looking face was now splattered with several colorful splotches, making her seem a little magical and alluring.

Bai Mengmeng smiled widely when she noticed Li Luo looking at her. She took a step forward in front of Jiang Qing'e and took his hand before playfully asking, "Squad Leader, do I look good?"

Li Luo had a helpless expression. Normally, Bai Mengmeng would never do something so bold. However, the Pill Saint's consciousness had fused with hers, so perhaps it was more correct to say that the Bai Mengmeng he knew was just one of the personalities she possessed.

The Pill Saint seemed exhausted and was unwilling to revive alone, so when Li Luo used the lifedeath, she voluntarily chose to fuse her will and power completely into Bai Mengmeng. Thus, Bai Mengmeng now had two personalities. The primary personality remained as timid and innocent as before, but the second one not only inherited the Pill Saint's power, it was also much more aggressive and bold. The Rainbow Butterfly Pill Saint, one of the Void Resonance's Six Sons, had truly vanished from this world.

Li Luo tried to break free of her grasp, but Bai Mengmeng's slender hand was like a steel clamp, preventing him from moving at all. Jiang Qing'e had to step in to separate the two of them. When Jiang Qing'e stretched her hand out, Bai Mengmeng immediately let go of Li Luo and casually grabbed her hand instead.

"Sect Master, I like the Squad Leader, but I also like you," said Bai Mengmeng.

The fusion between Bai Mengmeng and the Pill Saint had produced an interesting individual. It seemed that in her chaotic mind, she saw Jiang Qing'e as the Sect Master. This wasn't exactly an incorrect conclusion, as Jiang Qing'e was the manifestation of the Quasi Tenth-grade light resonance.

Li Luo shrugged, saying, "Her mind isn't quite right. We have to wait for her to regain clarity."

However, with the second personality causing so much trouble, it was hard to imagine what would happen when Bai Mengmeng's primary personality regained control. Would she be so embarrassed and furious that she would combust on the spot?

Jiang Qing'e nodded in agreement, lightly caressing Bai Mengmeng's forehead.

Bang!

At this moment, the Grand Devil Kings began to make their move. As the black rain containing corruption Authority poured down with renewed vigor, the gaps on the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation gradually widened.

"This world will eventually grovel and wail at my feet," the Sightless Underworld Grand Devil King declared coldly.

A moment later, the other Grand Devil Kings shot forward like dusky meteors of doom, intermingling with the rain as they crashed down towards the divine continents.

The final decisive war had truly begun.
