Chapter 1079: A Single Cleaving Strike

Chapter 1079: A Single Cleaving Strike

When the referee's voice sounded out, Li Luo calmly stepped forward amidst the countless curious gazes.

At the same time, his three resonant palaces came to life and vigorous amounts of resonant power poured out of him.

Five radiant Heavenly Pearls appeared behind him as well.

There were five of them!

This sight caused the crowd's eyes to shrink. Even Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu revealed expressions of shock.

Li Luo's strength had once again taken a leap forward!

They had assumed he would be at the four-pearl tier at best. Clearly, they had underestimated his cultivation speed.

Lu Ming, Jing Taixu, and Sun Dasheng were silently ogling at the five radiant pearls.

The gap between them was stupendously large.

Amidst the surprised looks, Li Luo shot forward explosively like a bolt of lightning and sped across the square.

As he moved, the onlookers could see a large ancient bow appear in his hands. The first reveal of this chapter happened through B1nN0v3l.

The Heavenly Dragon's Sunchaser Bow.

The moment the bow appeared, the three violet eye marks on it began to devour copious amounts of worldly natural energy. Soon after, an ear-rending draconic roar sounded out.

The appearance of a triple violet-eye treasured artifact brought about numerous envious gazes. Such a treasured artifact was difficult to obtain even for an elite in an ancient college, much less those from sage colleges.

Li Luo quickly drew the bow, and the resonant power within his body fused into dual resonance power before pouring into it.

Weng!

A single arrow made of light swiftly condensed, radiating berserk waves of energy that caused the void to tremble.

The sheer might contained within the arrow—which was supplemented by a triple violet-eye treasured artifact—was something even a seven-pearl would have to be cautious of.

The next moment, the arrow of light split the air as it pierced through the sky like a lightning bolt. It traveled thousands of feet in a single breath, wrapped in a hurricane of energy that directly blasted towards Wang Dao.

Wang Dao roared angrily as seven Heavenly Pearls condensed behind him, summoning up a tempest as worldly natural energy was riled up.

He had no intention of retreating!

A heavy sword appeared in his hand, imbued with mighty resonant power. Sword light pierced the air, carving a hole into the sky.

"Cleave!" Wang Dao's voice boomed like thunder.

Endless amounts of tyrannical sword energy descended from the sky and clashed directly with the arrow of light.

At the moment of collision, Wang Dao could sense that the arrow had separated three additional smaller arrows that shot past him.

His expression turned dark. Li Luo's initial strike was aimed at clearing out the field! The three mini arrows of light zipped past with frightening speed, each one targeted at one of his three teammates.

"Dual resonance power."

The halo of light representing the fused powers surfaced on his weapon as the dual resonance power flowed forth. Numerous mysterious little motes of light danced around the weapon, seemingly containing a hint of sentience.

Li Luo's eyes lowered slightly as the nine-scaled Dragon Sigil on his forehead began to radiate with light.

"Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon's Body: Nine Dragons' Might!"

His blood seemed to have been ignited; it flowed through his body like lava, channeling an astonishing amount of power through him that caused his veins to tremble.

A single step was taken as the Dragon Elephant Blade hacked towards his opponent.

The void was split apart, and the sound of rushing water could be heard in that crevice.

A moment later, a gigantic black dragon roared and emerged from the crack. It sucked in a deep breath, absorbing all of the churning, dark water. This resulted in its sharp claws gaining the glamor of corrosion.

The roar of the black dragon allowed everyone to sense the eruption of power within its body.

It then clashed directly with the tiger manifested from sword light.

A violent energy tempest kicked up from the impact.

At this point, a look of fear surged from the depths of Wang Dao's eyes. He realized that when the two arts clashed, his sword energy was being swiftly eroded.

"Impossible!" Wang Dao exclaimed as any further words were stuck in his throat.

He was a seven-pearl, so how could he have lost to Li Luo in a direct confrontation?

As hard as it was to believe, this was the truth.

The black dragon roared once again, releasing an aura of terrifying majesty as its sharp claws continued to descend unabated.

The tiger manifested from sword light was shattered along with the void.

The dragon, wreathed in cold air, then crashed towards Wang Dao without any hesitation.

Wang Dao quickly summoned up all of his remaining resonant power in an attempt to protect himself.

The storm of energy continued to rage.

Wang Dao's resonant power barrier was swiftly smashed, and when the black dragon slashed past him, it left a scar in the ground that was a thousand feet deep.

Meanwhile, Li Luo remained in place, still in his striking posture.

He could see the look of shock and disbelief on Wang Dao's face as he gradually collapsed on the field.

Thud!

The sound that his body made when it hit the ground seemed ever so poignant amongst the silent crowd.

The scene seemed to have petrified everyone.

The result of the first battle between a five-pearl and a seven-pearl...

A single strike had slain the opponent!
