Absolute Resonance

Bang! Weng!

The sounds of a frenetic battle flared up across the massive battlefield.

Berserk energy undulations clashed with corruption as the ferocious war unfolded.

Behind, Zhao Zong and Qin Zhongyuan and the rest of the Kings watched the situation with relaxed expressions. They had witnessed the confrontation between the Others and their soldiers far too many times, and while their side wasn't devoid of casualties, they had managed to destroy the Stygian Rain Core Platform without too much trouble before sweeping through the lands unobstructed.

Things wouldn't be any different this time either. The Other Disaster that had lasted three years was about to come to an end.

In the skies above, Qin Yi was maintaining the Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation. Her eyes were like rippling water, flowing with an enchanting brilliance while the Apex Resonance Crystal Core between her brows gave her a touch of divine beauty. As she observed the Spring Rain counteract the effects of the Stygian Rain, she frowned slightly.

She could sense that the expanding Spring Rain was suddenly stagnating... No, that was incorrect... The area of effect of the Spring Rain occupied was actually starting to recede!

Qin Yi's winsome expression began to shift. Something wasn't right!

Before she could even let out so much as a warning, everyone on the battlefield felt a terrifying wave of corruption bursting out from the depths.

Three Pinnacle Dukes were in a formation at the very front of the army, rapidly blitzing through the Others' defenses and beelining towards the Stygian Rain Core Platform.

All of a sudden, the void was torn asunder and a huge rift was ripped through it.

Two white flashes of light pierced through the skies, lunging at the three Pinnacle Dukes.

The sudden ambush left the three reeling with surprise. After all, they could sense that this attack was much stronger than the ones the ninth-grade True Devils were capable of launching.

"What is that?!" One of the Pinnacle Dukes was at a loss for words. The white blades of light were actually a pair of gigantic wings.

The only thing was that the wings were stark white in color and seemed to have been constructed out of fingers that had been soaked in water for so long, they had turned swollen and pale.

The finger-wings emitted incomparably frightening fluctuations of corruption that crashed straight into the Dukes. They could sense the peril they were in, so they simultaneously roared, rousing their Duke Bergfrieds and activating their respective Worldspace Domains, transforming them into a shield to obstruct the impending strike.

The Duke Bergfrieds that were supposed to be as sturdy as boulders were no different from tofu before the finger wings. Crunching sounds could be heard when they collided.

Before frightened eyes, the twenty-seven Duke Bergfrieds had all been severed into two.

The three Pinnacle Dukes spat out copious amounts of blood and fear could be seen in their eyes as they retreated without any hesitation.

The attack that they had just survived had far surpassed a ninth-grade True Devil!

Rriip!

As they flew backwards, the void ripped apart once again and three streams of white light rushed towards them. They were three swollen fingers!

Thunk!

The fingers pierced through all of their hastily put-up defenses and lodged themselves into the trio's foreheads before they could react. Corruption seethed, and in just a few short moments, their bodies decayed into lumps of flesh and blood, descending from the skies. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

The entire battlefield fell silent.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

This creature had slain three Pinnacle Dukes instantaneously. Just what sort of Other was it?

"Hehe!"

As this terrifying realization dawned upon them, the Stygian Rain grew in intensity and the casual laugh of a lady echoed throughout the skies. Everyone could see a lithe figure floating in the air in the midst of the rain.

It looked like a woman, but behind her were two gigantic wings that were stitched together with pale fingers as feathers. What was most frightening about it was the undulations of corruption emanating from it—they were far more powerful than anything a ninth-grade True Devil was capable of!

Even Qin Yi had a look of shock on her face when she saw it. "An Other King? How's that possible?!"

The Finger Winged Lady's strength was infinitely close to the King Stage. This development had also been discovered by Qin Zhongyuan and the rest. They couldn't believe their eyes either. Didn't the Heavenly Emperor Edict say "Kings May Not Enter"? Why had the Law suddenly changed? Could it be that Kings could now influence the situation?

"Evil creature, how presumptuous!" Qin Qu was enraged; she took a step forward, appearing above the frontlines. Her Crown manifested, causing pure energy to flow around her as she gave off a source origin aura.

She swung out with her palm, and a deafening sonic boom erupted. The soundwaves took the form of a palm that flew towards the Finger Winged Lady.

However, the Finger Winged Lady didn't even attempt to hide, its pale visage revealing a hint of a mocking smile.

This was because the sonic palm suddenly dissipated into a shower of energy motes upon coming into contact with the Stygian Rain. Afterwards, an even more terrifying power coursed through the palm.

Qin Qu's expression turned steely green at that instant.

The Law of "Kings May Not Enter" was still in place! If that was the case, then how could the Finger Winged Other be so much stronger than a ninth-grade True Devil?

Qin Zhongyuan's gloomy voice boomed. "It's at the False King realm!"

"False King?" Qin Qu's expression warped. This was unimaginable to her as someone at that realm was rarely seen. It was hard to say if there was a human at that realm in the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent! Even so, a False King could still be considered to be a King and thus, the Heavenly Emperor's Edict should have prevented it from entering. So why was this Other here?

"I'm afraid the Heavenly Emperor's Edict might have changed." Qin Zhongyuan's expression was ugly. He had thought that the Other Disaster was at the cusp of being cleansed, but with this sudden development, it could only mean that the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus Grand Devil King had taken action.

Qin Zhongyuan had noticed that the black clouds of corruption had begun to spread. "Qin Yi, the Stygian Rain is sweeping back towards us. Use the Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation and nullify its effects."

Qin Yi took a deep breath, and her chest began to rise and fall slightly. "Palace Master Zhongyuan, my Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation has lost its effects. The Stygian Rain has become too strong for my Spring Rain to suppress."

These words caused the Kings' expressions to change. The Evil Cleansing Spring Rain Formation was the reason why their assault could happen. The fact that the formation was no longer effective meant that their situation had turned for the worst.

The Kings began to glance into the distance with a look of dazed dismay. The corruption clouds were beginning to expand further and even darker raindrops began to fall, bringing along a renewed tide of Others.

The Finger Winged Lady with the power of a False King strode forward within the rain, flapping its wings occasionally and shooting out pale fingers like the scythe of the reaper, killing everyone in sight.

In just a short span of time, the forces of the two Heavenly Emperor powers were on the verge of defeat and fleeing in panic.

Qin Zhongyuan's head was turning dizzy at the swift turn of events.

"Retreat!" he shouted hoarsely. The horns of retreat rang out, echoing throughout the battlefield.

The sea of soldiers began to run miserably. The Stygian Rain soaked into the ground, and the territories that had been reclaimed were drowned in corruption once again. The Bloodlines of Heavenly Emperor Qin and Zhao were left reeling from a grave defeat. When news of this spread, the entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent was left in shock.

This also included the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, who had been launching an attack of their own. They were forced to halt and rethink their decisions.
