Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1315: Separate Squads

The depths of the World End's River Treasure Domain suddenly began to emanate strong waves of corruption. It immediately ruined all of the plans of the numerous powers who had entered within. All of their strongest experts had both solemn and avaricious gazes as they looked into the distance.

A few of the strongest rogue cultivators also got ready to move.

Everyone knew that this sort of development with a large Other Dominion would indicate that there would undoubtedly be top grade and possibly even peak grade Foundational Spirit Treasures.

These were treasures that upper grade Dukes would salivate over.

Thus when they could sense the disturbance within the Treasure Domain, they couldn't restrain the greed in their hearts, directly rushing ahead.

This also included the Heavenly Emperor powers who had very quickly completed their internal reassignments. Without exception, almost every squad was divided into two. The strongest experts of each squad directly broke through the layers of the Other Dominion's barriers whilst the other group opted to push ahead slowly, planning to regroup in the depths. Thus in just a few moments, numerous figures giving off immense resonant power fluctuations rushed into the sky. As their majestic Duke Bergfrieds towered in the void, Divine Mist flowed and wrapped around their bodies, allowing them to pierce through the void.

It was a spectacular sight to behold.

On the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's side, with Li Jiluo and Li Qingpeng at the lead, they quickly made arrangements.

"Why don't I stay behind and accompany Li Luo and Qing'e." At this point Ox Biaobiao suddenly spoke up.

The World End's River Treasure Domain was a den of dragons and snakes. No one knew just how many Dukes were present and even if Jiang Qing'e had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried, it wasn't sufficient to keep her safe.

Additionally, there was also the fact that Li Luo had been attacked in the past and it gave him a sense of unease.

Li Luo heard his words and smiled as he shook his head. "Uncle Biao, you can rest and relax. They're so many Guardian Generals here. All of the high grade Dukes have already gone running into the depths and the outer region is much safer as a result."

"Uncle Biao, you don't have to worry either. With me here, I'll make sure nothing happens to Li Luo." Jiang Qing'e similarly nodded her head and chimed in.

The disturbance of the large Other Dominion was also an opportunity for Ox Biaobiao. After all, he also needed to obtain high grade Foundational Spirit Treasures for himself as well.

All those years ago in the Xia Kingdom, Ox Biaobiao had quietly hidden himself away in House Luolan's Headquarters, always watching over the duo. If not for the rumors of him being a powerful Duke, Jiang Qing'e and Li Luo might not have been able to hold on until the Housemeet. Ox Biaobiao had done a lot for them all these years and at this point, he should be thinking for the sake of his own cultivation now.

He looked at the two and he was a little dazed. Unknowingly, the two children he had taken care of had blossomed into magnificent youths. They had already stretched their wings and were now independent.

There was no need to keep watching over them like in the past.

A heartened smile surfaced on his slightly ferocious face before he replied lightly, "Alright. It's good that you wish to stand on your own. I'll wait for you in the deeper areas of the Treasure Domain then."

Li Luo nodded his head and smiled. "Take care Uncle Biao."

After which the group made of the strongest members of the squad left with Li Qingpeng and Li Jiluo in the lead. Their Duke Bergfrieds all appeared, protecting their bodies as they pierced through the void.

Now as those Dukes left hurriedly, the worldly natural energy in the outer region seemed to have calmed down quite a bit. However in terms of sheer numbers of people, there wasn't a significant change as the group that had left were the minority.

The squad for the Bloodline of Heavenly Li was now being led by the five Guardian Generals.

"We will act as per orders, forming smaller squads to operate in." Li Zhihuo was the first to speak.

There were simply too many Other Dominions within the Treasure Domain, especially the small ones. The entire area was practically packed with them and for the purposes of obtaining as many Foundational Spirit Treasures, it was best to split up. The fact was also that it was difficult to share the spoils of combat with many people.

Everyone expressed their support.

Li Foluo then directly looked at Li Hongyou. A gentle smile appeared on his usually serious face. "Thousand Guardian Hongyou, would you like to travel with me? If we obtain any high grade Foundational Spirit Treasures, i'll let you have the first pick." Li Foluo was literally dangling a fragrant meat bun before her. Additionally he was one of the strongest here and thus he would choose to fight against more difficult and hence lucrative dominions. Yet he took the initiative to seek out Li Hongyou and gave her first dibs on any treasures, clearly indicating how much he wished to team up with her.

There was no other choice. After she broke into the Duke stage, her quasi ninth-grade Pharmacist Jade Dragon resonance meant that she was an excellent supportive teammate. Li Foluo was fully willing to clash against Li Zhihuo for her sake.

When faced with Li Foluo's earnest invitation, Li Hongyou gently fluttered her long eyelashes before courteously declining. "Thank you for your good intentions Guardian General, but i'll be going along with Li Luo."

She then made her way beside him.

Li Foluo had a complicated look in his eyes as he faced Li Luo. Jiang Qing'e was standing on his left and Li Hongyou was now on his right. This brat in the Greater Heavenly Resonance stage had monopolized all the best squad members! Wasn't that a little excessive!

When faced with Li Foluo's gaze, Li Luo helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

He couldn't help it. He was simply too charming.

Li Foluo then thought about it before sighing before addressing Li Luo directly. "I'll follow your squad then."

Li Luo was a little shocked as he was now thrown into a dilemma. The three of them hadn't even discussed anything such as how they planned to distribute the Foundational Spirit Treasures and yet Li Foluo this Elder Brother had stormed his way in already? Would they be on the short end of the stick in that case? After all, he heard that in most squads, the Guardian General alone would monopolize the greater half of all treasures.

When he saw how Li Luo hesitated, Li Foluo unhappily replied. "When it comes down to it, we'll split evenly."

"The Guardian General is righteous!" Li Luo immediately flashed a radiant smile. This was the best solution and they had managed to rope in an upper fourth-grade Duke's help with the lowest possible price.

With just the two of them, the comprehensive strength of the squad wouldn't be weaker when compared to anyone else.

When he saw Li Luo's grin, Li Foluo couldn't help but to snort in his heart. Why else would he have chosen to evenly divide the spoils if not for Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou's sake? Why else would he share his hard earned gains! At the same time, the numerous Guardians made their own arrangements as each squad left in an orderly fashion.

On Li Zhihuo's side, Yuan Tianzhao, Li Hongque and the strongest remnants of the Dragon's Blood Guardians had grouped up together. However when they saw Li Foluo grouping up with Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou, they couldn't help but to frown.

With this configuration, they indeed were not weak. Not to mention Jiang Qing'e had a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried and even though Li Hongyou had just entered the Duke stage, her resonance was a great boon to the squad she was in. With her assistance, Li Foluo's combat strength would skyrocket.

Li Luo was a better sight for sore eyes. Since he hadn't reached the Duke stage and couldn't borrow the aid of the Guardian Formations, he only had Greater Heavenly Resonance stage power. Even if his Heavenly Resonance Diagram was 99,000 feet, he'd only be able to deal with a first-grade Duke at best. However just the presence of the other three elevated the squad's strength comprehensively and would also be a competitive opponent.

It was hard to say now but Li Foluo should indeed be able to destroy quite a number of Other Dominions and earn quite the same.

That said Li Zhihuo had no other solutions. Jiang Qing'e and Li Hongyou were with the Dragon's Fang Guardians and he simply couldn't snatch them away. Thus he could only quash the envy and depression in his heart as he spoke gloomily. "Everyone, once you've completed your preparations, you can leave." The other squads then assented to his command.

Li Luo raised his head and could see that the other powers and rogue cultivators had formed squads of their own. All of them rushed into the sky like a gigantic swarm, capable of blanketing the skies as they rushed further into the Treasure Domain.

Sounds of rushing wind rumbled.

It could be said that the expedition to the Treasure Domain had officially started.

Li Luo clenched his fist in anticipation. His goal was now to obtain ten upper grade Foundational Spirit Treasures and this should be enough to earn him a top grade one.

"Let's go!"

The sky continued to rumble with the sounds of piercing sonic booms as Li Luo shouted out in excitement.
