Chapter 1061: Heavenly Dragon's Cloudburst Art

The giant sword formation was shrouded in an arcane aura as it emerged in the sky above. Two dragon fang swords hovered within it, evident for all to see. They emitted sword energy filled with unparalleled sharpness that split the void open, revealing black lines.

In fact, the countless spectators watching through the mirrors could feel a stinging pain in their eyes just at the sight of it.

For some of the weaker ones, tears of blood flowed down their faces, demonstrating exactly how domineering the sword formation was.

In fact, even some third and fourth-grade Dukes couldn't hide their surprise. They felt chills when they sensed the sheer power contained within the formation.

If they were the ones standing before Li Luo, they would have no choice but to retreat!

This left them with complicated feelings. Although this terrifying energy output was only possible due to Harmony, the truth was that a Heavenly Pearl junior was the source of it all! A Heavenly Pearl cultivator threatening a Duke was a preposterous concept.

Anyone would feel unsettled with that realization.

Every member of the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages stared at the mirrors without batting an eyelid. No one knew if this move of Li Luo's could contend against the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff of the Ancestor.

Amidst their countless gazes, Li Jun looked up at the mysterious sword formation and revealed a happy smile on his handsome face. "I didn't expect a junior to be capable of learning this Duke Art of mine."

He took a glance at Li Luo, and a flash of light passed through his eyes. "Hmm, three palaces and six resonances? It's no wonder you were able to cultivate it."

Li Luo also smiled and replied sincerely, "There is nothing special about learning this art. On the contrary, creating it is what's truly impressive! The younger generation can only dream of reaching your level and achieving even a fraction of what you have."

Li Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled joyfully. "Brat, it looks like you're quite skilled when it comes to flattery."

Li Luo's cajoling words seemed to have been pretty effective.

On the outside, the elders from the Heavenly Dragon's Five Lineages listened with strange expressions on their faces. What in the world was going on? This brat was taking advantage of every opportunity to engage in the most shameless bootlicking they had ever seen! Li Jingzhe was such a stern and lawful person, so how had his grandson turned out like this?

The gazes of Li Tianji and the other lineage chiefs seemed to pierce through the void, falling squarely onto Li Jingzhe who was sitting coolly in the stone pavilion on top of Dragon's Fang Mountain.

Li Jingzhe simply sneered and said, "What a bunch of hypocrites. Weren't you guys all loafing around and sucking up to the Ancestor, hoping to get something sweet as well back in the day? Now that you've become Kings, you've forgotten all about your actions?"

Some dry coughs reverberated through the void, and the gazes dissipated with those scorching words.

Li Jingzhe's lips curled up a little as he looked back at the mirror. "How did this kid know that the Ancestor enjoys being praised more than anything? His instincts are sharp, and he needs no teacher for that," he murmured to himself.

Standing behind Li Jingzhe, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, Zhao Xuanming, and the other Elders of the Dragon's Fang Lineage stared intently at the mirror, pretending they had not heard his words at all.

Back in layer seventy-two, Li Jun gripped the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff and smiled. "Little brat, let me have a look at how well you've mastered that Duke Art."

"Please guide me along, Ancestor."

Li Luo bowed respectfully. At the next moment, his expression turned solemn. An enormous amount of energy surged out of him and flowed into the sword formation. The two dragon fang swords in the formation began to harmonize, and a faint sword hymn echoed through the air. The sword energy twisted and swept upwards like a forceful geyser.

Energy condensed around the swords, enveloping it in light as they zipped around the sword formation. A moment later, they clashed and fused together.

In that instant, a dusky sword that was thousands of feet long and wreathed in black light materialized within the formation. It was like a gigantic dragon had manifested before them, winding and flying silently yet exuding an overwhelming presence of terror and majesty.

"Double Resonance Dragon Fang, Void Obliteration Sword Phantasm."

Li Jun recognized the technique immediately. After all, this Embryonic Transcendent Duke Art was created by him, so he naturally knew that it had reached the Lesser Completion Realm.

"Not bad, not bad. You're really compatible with that art. Perhaps one day you will complete it and show the world its splendor."

Li Luo took a deep breath. With a thought, the dusky sword filled with enormous energy soared up and flew towards Li Jun. The void was ripped open wherever it passed.

The Void Obliteration Sword Phantasm that he had activated today was much stronger than any of its previous iterations.

Li Jun laughed lightly as he watched the sword fly towards him, leaving behind a trail of dark light. He was not any less handsome than Li Luo, so he looked extremely charismatic when his hair flew with the wind, especially with the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff in his hand. Considering his achievements, it was clear that he was a genius with no equal back in his youth.

After all, he had reached the Heavenly Emperor Stage, the absolute pinnacle. Heavenly Emperor Li was someone that stood at the peak in the world. How could he have been ordinary when he was young?

Even Li Luo's spectacular achievements paled in comparison to Li Jun's. Li Jun pointed out with the Golden Coiled Dragon Staff. At the next moment, numerous golden staff manifestations appeared all over the sky, each one emitting terrifying energy pulses. Seconds later, they shrunk at an alarming rate.

A few moments later, the staff manifestations transformed into countless golden raindrops.

The rain fell across the battlefield, and each droplet was capable of shattering the skies and the earth.

"This is known as the Heavenly Dragon's Cloudburst Art." Li Jun's clear voice resounded through the air.

Following those words, the golden rain descended. The battlefield seemed to have been completely flooded with a barrage of attacks.

The golden rain clashed directly with the dusky sword energy from Li Luo, leaving every spectator on the edge of their seat. Dark cracks appeared in the void with every minute clash before closing back up just as quickly.

Everytime the two energies collided, some of the third and fourth-grade Dukes spectating could feel their eyelids twitch uncontrollably. They could tell that they would not be able to handle either of these attacks.

Nonetheless, it seemed like Li Jun held the upper hand in this confrontation.

The golden rain appeared weak, but it contained a horrendous amount of energy. As the raindrops fell, the sword filled with extremely piercing energy was gradually chipped away at.

After a few moments, the dusky sword and the light encompassing it shattered completely.

However, no one was surprised by this. Li Luo was facing the Ancestor after all.

Even though the Li Jun in front of them was only at the Duke Stage, no one at his tier could hold a candle to him back in the day.

Li Luo stared blankly at the golden rain that had enveloped the battlefield in front of him. He had just experienced the overwhelming power of the Ancestor first-hand. He had not expected his most powerful Duke Art to be defeated so easily.

He could tell from the energy undulations coming from Li Jun that they were at the same tier.

Li Jun did not hold any advantage in cultivation level. After all, the proud Ancestor had always been one to defeat stronger opponents. Defeating a weaker foe would be meaningless to someone like him.

This was truly the arrogance of a Heavenly Emperor.

"Little brat, if you condense three dragon fang swords, your sword formation will be able to break through my Heavenly Dragon's Cloudburst Art," Li Jun said with a grin.

Li Luo nodded and replied earnestly, "I still want to keep going."

Li Jun was surprised by his response. Looking at this youth in front of him, the burning desire to keep competing lit up in his eyes. The youth had not been demoralized by the previous exchange at all.

Such perseverance and determination was truly commendable.

There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes as Li Jun looked at his opponent. He did not dissipate his art but instead flicked his finger, causing the torrential downpour to turn directly towards Li Luo.

Although each and every droplet looked insignificant, but everywhere they passed by seemed to have been struck by a meteor shower!

The golden rain was reflected in Li Luo's determined eyes, but his expression became calm and his mind was like a clear lake without any ripples. The three resonant palaces within his body buzzed, and he summoned up all the resonant power available to him.

His spirit and energy were all condensed into a single point within his body.

At the next moment, he could sense the mysterious Auric Halo deep inside him start to hum faintly. And then Li Luo formed yet another handseal.

A second Void Obliteration Sword Phantasm materialized within his sword formation.

But this time, there was golden light flowing from the Auric Halo in his body to the sword phantasm. Finally, he waved his sleeve.

Weng!

The manifestation of sword light soared towards the golden rain instantly.

The result of the collision was evidently different from before.

Everyone was watching with shocked gazes. As the sword flew across the battlefield, the previously indomitable shower of golden rain that possessed enough power to wreak havoc across the land was extinguished!

A few moments later, the sword penetrated through the curtain of rain.

The clouds covering the sky opened up, looking like a clear afternoon after a heavy downpour. The entire lineage fell completely silent, and all the spectators' hearts trembled at what they were witnessing.
