Chapter 1653: Divine Fruit Windflame Resonance

The Pill Saint's words reverberated throughout the area, causing the expressions of the top existences to change.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang suspiciously eyed the coffin that caused even his skin to crawl. That wasn't the Sacred Void Resonance Sect's Legendary Sect Master?

However, if one were to think about it, who else could cause him, a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor, to feel fear? Just what had happened to the Sacred Void Resonance Sect all those years ago? The events of that time had been obscured by time, making it impossible for anyone to know.

The sect was the behemoth of an era, its glory revered thousands of years later by countless generations. The fall and disappearance of the sect was abrupt and unexpected, especially because it occurred right at the pinnacle of its power.

The gigantic bronze mask in the sky released a fearsome aura that shook the world as he indifferently said, "Rainbow Butterfly, it seems that the passage of time has left your mind with problems. You actually dare to say such disrespectful words to the Sect Master? So be it. You have been forsaken. I'm only telling you all this because we were once comrades. Since our paths have diverged, don't blame me for seeing you as an enemy. You can't conceal the windflame resonance any longer."

As Heavenly Emperor Yin's cold words echoed, the mouth of the bronze mask slowly moved, as though chanting an ancient spell that resonated with the heavens and earth.

As the spell was uttered, a subtle noise sounded in everyone's ears—the sound of the coffin lid rubbing against the coffin. It was not loud, but the unsettling noise caused everyone's scalps to crawl, and they felt as though they were submerged in ice from head to toe. Every single person's attention was focused on the black coffin behind Heavenly Emperor Yin.

The sound had originated from there.

Was the coffin about to open? Just what was inside it? Could it be the Legendary Sect Master?

Li Luo couldn't help but hold his breath. It was then that he realized that the hand he was holding had turned cold. When he turned his head, he saw that Jiang Qing'e's face was pale.

He remembered that during their first encounter with the black coffin, Jiang Qing'e had told him that she felt some sort of connection with whatever was inside. He had originally thought that it was a misperception on her part. However, if he were to consider the fact that her light resonance originated from that Sect Master, then Jiang Qing'e truly might have some sort of connection with the coffin.

He tightly gripped her icy hand, giving her a sense of comfort and easing her shock.

While the rest of the top experts remained on high alert, the sound of the coffin lid sliding against the coffin paused. Everyone could see that a thumb-sized gap had opened up. Behind the gap was a deep darkness, causing fear to surge up in whoever looked at it.

No one could sense nor see what was going on within. Even Authority was devoured by it like a black hole.

An indescribably strange sound emerged from the depths of the crevice, eventually turning into a single word.

"Come."

This word didn't contain the slightest emotion, and no one knew how it had come about. However, the entire world came to a standstill. The sun, moon, and stars were frozen, as though looking at a scene within a painting.

Everyone fell into an illusion where they were cut off from the rest of the world.

Weng!

However, at that very instant, a riotous uproar erupted across the Xia Kingdom and the numerous secret realms that were scattered throughout it. Frighteningly powerful energy erupted in certain locations, directly destroying those pocket spaces.

The Pill Saint's expression changed. She knew that those minor world spaces were where she had hidden parts of the windflame resonance!

She had split it into numerous parts, concealing each one within a different world space that she had heavily sealed in order to prevent anyone from sensing them. She had been confident that not even a Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperor would be able to locate them. However, in the blink of an eye, that single mysterious word had stirred the windflame resonance, breaking through her seals.

Everyone saw numerous black spatial rifts appearing in the sky over the Xia Kingdom. Countless dazzling streams of light escaped from each one like shooting stars, streaking across the firmament. They then converged right above Xia City.

It was a truly spectacular scene.

Numerous wind spirits accompanied the flames. The fire and wind energy in the area around them started to flourish and intensify.

A symphony of crimson and green colors dyed the sky, each occupying half. The vast amounts of wind and flame pierced through the sky in streams, finally gathering into the shape of a crimson and green fruit above Xia City.

The fruit seemed to be a miracle of creation, its surface engraved with flame and wind runes, representing the ultimate form of these elements. Rings of flame and wind surrounded it and flowed continuously, making it look magnificent.

Even Li Jingzhe couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He possessed a wind resonance, and now that he was at the Heavenly Emperor Stage, he controlled the Authority of Wind. As a result, it could be said that he controlled the most powerful form of wind in the world.

However, his power seemed rather lackluster compared to the crimson and green fruit before him. After all, what was before him was a Divine Fruit resonance.

When one reached the extreme end of the path of the Heavenly Emperor, one's resonances would become Divine Fruits, the true pinnacle of power. This particular Divine Fruit resonance was a wind and flame dual resonance. It was so valuable that even a Heavenly Emperor would find it hard to remain calm in its presence.

Within the black coffin, the same mysterious word was uttered in a low voice yet again.

"Come."

The Divine Fruit windflame resonance shook, as though the word had some kind of hold over it. After a moment of hesitation, it shot across the sky, leaving behind a trail of wind and flames as it moved towards the coffin.

"Don't let the Divine Fruit windflame resonance land in the Origin Reversion Institute's hands," Heavenly Emperor Jiang called out, his face filled with solemnity.

Light emerged from the crack between his brows, accompanied by vast amounts of life force and an emerald flash. An emerald Divine Fruit gradually emerged, causing billions of ancient trees overflowing with vitality to appear out of thin air. Their branches and leaves extended outwards, intertwining into a massive hand that grabbed at the Divine Fruit windflame resonance.

It was at this moment that stark white Underworld Flames swept out from the depths of the void, forming a sea of flames. A white Divine Fruit could be seen within the sea of flames, radiating the overbearing power of Authority.

Flames and wood clashed in the sky, the flames burning so brightly that half of the East Divine Continent could feel the temperature rising.

Heavenly Emperors Zhang and Li Jingzhe then took action, attempting to block the windflame resonance as well.

Alas, the two Shadow World Grand Devil Kings, Asura Arm and Blood Butcher, were excited to see the situation devolve into utter chaos. Despite their strength waning and being on the cusp of being ejected from the world, they rallied their remaining strength to intercept Heavenly Emperors Zhang and Li Jingzhe.

For a moment, the world fell into complete anarchy. Amidst the battles that were unravelling, no one was capable of stopping the Divine Fruit windflame resonance from floating towards the black coffin.

When the Pill Saint saw this, the innocent face belonging to Bai Mengmeng revealed a look of anxiety. If things continued this way, it would undoubtedly lead to disastrous consequences. Thus, she could only clench her teeth and activate her backup plan.

Prismatic light flowed out from the Divine Fruit, transforming into a pair of butterfly wings that curled up and covered the entire object. She had managed to slow the Divine Fruit down. However, this didn't change the inevitable conclusion—it was still going to reach the black coffin.

The Pill Saint's expression was icy as she glared daggers at the black coffin. Whatever was inside indeed had the power to get the Divine Fruit windflame resonance to voluntarily move towards it. It seemed that restraining the Divine Fruit was no longer an option.

She took a deep breath and turned her attention towards Li Luo.

"Li Luo, take out the Ten Divines Absolute Resonance Halo right now!"

Li Luo was a little taken aback and didn't understand why she would make such a request at this critical moment. Despite that, he followed her command obediently and summoned the Ten Divines Absolute Resonance Halo from his body. The archaic golden wheel floated above his head. Its magnificence dimmed in comparison to the clashes of the Heavenly Emperors.

The Pill Saint scanned the Ten Divines Absolute Resonance Halos, directing her attention to a specific corner where Li Luo's fifth empty palace was located. Without saying anything else, she gritted her teeth and directed every bit of power she had left to the Divine Fruit windflame resonance, transforming parts of it into streams of flame and wind. She then viciously stuffed it all into Li Luo's blank palace.

Before anyone could react, Li Luo's face turned deathly pale, and he screamed in terror, "Senior Pill Saint, stop! My resonant palace can't hold on!"
