Absolute Resonance-Chapter 1543: One More Arrives

When the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor saw this, the depths of its gaze were filled with a dreary gloom. Li Jun was truly a difficult fellow to deal with. Even with the sooty wind released by the black coffin, it was unable to force him back. It was in a disadvantageous situation, and if things carried on, no one could say that another Heavenly Emperor from the Academic Federation wouldn't make their way here as well.

Although the Origin Reversion Institute also had Heavenly Emperors that could back it up, they would be under great restrictions if they came here.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor then waved its sleeve, causing the sooty wind to split off into multiple strands that eroded the surrounding void.

Violet cloud energy surged out in the depths of the void, colliding with the smaller gusts of black wind and then decaying away as a result.

After the violet clouds eroded, the Violet Cloud Scroll appeared. This was what the Cloud Heavenly Emperor had used to protect the Celestial Mirror Pagoda as well as the numerous mentors. A Heavenly Emperor's battle was simply too terrifying—just a single leaked strand of energy would completely obliterate them. However, the Cloud Scroll was now being stained with mottled gray spots as a result of the wind.

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor's expression changed. "He's planning to rip apart the Cloud Scroll and harm all of the mentors within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda!"

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor was truly vicious. Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, it planned to use the Celestial Mirror Pagoda and the lives of the mentors to force the Cloud Heavenly Emperor to take a step back.

Li Jun's handsome face turned solemn at this point. This was the work of a venomous creature!

The moment the Cloud Heavenly Emperor focused on protecting the Cloud Scroll, Li Jun would be forced into a situation where he couldn't compete against the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor for the Divine Fruit crystal resonance! In that case, the object would undoubtedly land in the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's hands!

However, asking the Cloud Heavenly Emperor to disregard the lives of all of the mentors within the Celestial Mirror Pagoda was unacceptable.

Thus, Li Jun felt a headache coming.

Just as he was about to make a decision, the Cloud Heavenly Emperor and his expressions froze. This was because a horrifyingly cold aura had descended upon the world. The cold was tyrannical, and even time itself seemed to freeze.

"This frost energy..."

"It must be from Golden Dragon Mountain."

They turned their heads and saw that behind Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e was a girl with long, ice-blue hair—Lu Qing'er!

However, what they were looking at wasn't her, but the Apex Resonance Crystal Core on her forehead.

They could see a lady sitting cross-legged in the middle of a snow lotus in the depths of the Crystal Core.

A faint female voice penetrated through the layers of space, projecting out of the Apex Resonance Crystal Core. "My two friends, leave the Celestial Mirror Pagoda and its people for me to protect. What I request is that you share a portion of this opportunity with my descendent."

The voice was ice-cold yet extremely pleasant to the ear, carrying a regal majesty. As this voice sounded out, a terrifying frost capable of freezing time rolled out of the depths of the void. When it crashed into the sooty wind, the void shook and collapsed.

Li Jun and the Cloud Heavenly Emperor glanced at each other. They had not expected Golden Dragon Mountain's Heavenly Emperor Lu to have been cajoled into action. That said, even though her true body had not descended, she had borrowed the Permafrost Sacred Seed as a catalyst to project her power across the distance. The bright side was that this was exactly the opportunity they needed.

"Heavenly Emperor Li, you should go. I'll stop him."

The Cloud Heavenly Emperor smiled and his body suddenly expanded, causing violet clouds to spread in every direction. He then stomped at the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor.

Li Jun stretched out both hands, transforming them into gigantic dragon limbs capable of plucking stellar objects from the sky. He reached towards the Divine Fruit crystal resonance violently. Kacha! With his brutish strength, the Divine Fruit crystal resonance showed faint cracks.

"Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, this creation will not be just for you to enjoy," Li Jun said with a grin.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's expression had turned incomparably ugly. It had never expected a troublemaker like Li Jun to pop up. It was obvious that it had calculated that these Heavenly Emperors would have been tied down through various means, unable to assist. And to make matters worse, even Golden Dragon Mountain had interfered. Although Heavenly Emperor Lu had not appeared with her true body, the strength that she had projected was sufficient to restrain him. Thus, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor accepted that taking away the Divine Fruit crystal resonance in its entirety was impossible. After falling silent for a few moments, it sighed and a decisive look flashed through its eyes.

It formed a hand seal with both hands, spurring the bluestone lotus platform into action. Esoteric light was gloriously released from it, landing onto the crystal resonance. The light then drilled through the cracks and wrapped around the Divine Fruit inside it.

It then captured just the Divine Fruit, transporting it back into the lotus platform. The lotus platform then transformed back into its bluestone seal state and returned to the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor's hand. As it gripped the seal furiously, the Emptiness Heavenly Emperor felt heartache as it gloomily watched Li Jun pilfer the crystal resonance in front of him. The crystal resonance contained a portion of the supreme ninth-grade resonance energy, and because of that, their plan would no longer be perfect. However, there was no other choice.

The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor vanished, appearing above the black coffin before flying off, smashing through the layers of the void. After which, it disappeared before the eyes of the two Heavenly Emperors. Though just before he left, his acrimonious words, laced with killing intent, rumbled through the skies.

"Li Jun, I will remember this. The Origin Reversion Institute will not let the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li off easily. I hope you don't regret what you did today when we destroy it."

The destructive waves of energy began to dissipate, and the horrifying battle between Heavenly Emperors finally came to an end.
