Absolute Resonance

Chapter 0966: Zhu Dayu


Chapter 0966: Zhu Dayu

The sudden reaction from the mountain of meat gave Li Luo a fright. However, he soon felt a hint of vitality arising from within what he had thought was a corpse. He was alive! The fellow was trying to do what he was... which was to play dead and avoid the assault of the elite disciples.

Li Luo felt a little embarrassed. He had thought this was a dead man and thus used his body to block quite a few hits.

However, despite all of the awkwardness he felt in his heart, his face held no trace of that. Instead, he smiled and said to him, "Brother, our meeting is one of fated destiny. Shall we not bicker about the minor details?"

At the same time, he sized up the massive fellow. It seemed that on top of being prodigiously fat, he was also fairly young.

The humongous youth then glared angrily. "Fated my ass! I've been happily hiding here for half a day without being disturbed, but then you came along and now look at me. Are you trying to sabotage me?"

Li Luo smiled. "I don't even know who you are, how could I possibly try and harm you?"

The youth then berated Li Luo, "Get away from me!"

Li Luo shook his head. "Well, this place doesn't belong to you. If you want to leave, you can. I'm not moving an inch!"

Why would he leave when there was such an excellent meat shield before him? The moment he so much as twitched, he would definitely attract the attention of all the rogue flaming feathers that were out to get him.

The fat youth then glared at the shameless Li Luo viciously. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, then he swiped the pocket sphere on his wrist and an object flew out.

When Li Luo saw this action, he immediately went on guard and prepared to react to the chubby fellow.

But when he saw what the object was, he was left in a daze. The chubby fellow wasn't taking out some sort of mighty, slaughtering treasure... Instead, it was a leg of roasted beast meat, and he immediately began to chomp down on it heartily, swallowing it in a mere two to three bites. Grease dripped off his chin and landed on the ground.

Watching his meat shield gorging all of a sudden left Li Luo flabbergasted. Had he snapped?

As Li Luo's mind churned, he was shocked to see that as the fatty ate, the injuries that he had received as a result of the exploding feathers were quickly healing.

A minute later, all of the bloody holes on his body had healed over. This frightening regenerative ability left Li Luo stunned once again. Even if he took advantage of his water, light, and wood resonant powers, all of which held strong restorative properties, they could not even begin to compare!

This brought a thought to his mind as he asked, "Are you from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu, brother?"

He had once seen intel on their bloodline, and this sight had reminded him of it. The people were unique in the sense that the majority were quite rotund, and they had a unique resonance that allowed them to use food as a means to obtain terrifying regeneration powers.

It was said that their Dukes were the hardest to kill. So long as they were not finished off in a single move, they could activate their regenerative abilities and quickly reach peak condition again even if their bodies were left half-destroyed.

The fatty then snorted. "It looks like your eyesight isn't bad. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu isn't to be provoked, so you best leave."

Li Luo grinned. "Nice to meet you, I'm the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Li Luo."

The fatty then turned slightly sluggish as he glanced at Li Luo. "The new Dragon's Head from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, Li Luo?"

It seemed he had heard of him.

Li Luo nodded, a genial smile on his face.

The fatty then pouted in displeasure. This meant that it would be useless to use the threat of his bloodline to scare Li Luo away!

"You can call me Zhu Dayu," the fatty stated.

"I guessed as much. With such a stalwart figure, who else could you be?" Li Luo grinned.

Based on what he knew, the members of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu deemed one's fat as beauty, especially when it came to their own figures.

Clearly, Zhu Dayu reacted positively to this compliment as his brows seemed to lift in satisfaction. Li Luo suddenly seemed a lot more pleasant.

"Brother Zhu, how long have you been lying here?" Li Luo asked.

"Almost half a day. I followed the first group of people in, but almost all of them have died. I didn't want to give up, so I lay here, awaiting an opportunity," Zhu Dayu explained.

Li Luo nodded, but before he could continue speaking, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a flaming feather shooting towards him. He immediately got down, and the feather, unfortunately, impaled itself in Zhu Dayu's butt before exploding, blowing a bloody hole yet again.

Zhu Dayu's immense body trembled as he silently glared at Li Luo. Before he could give him a piece of his mind, Li Luo had already started speaking. "Brother Zhu, your magnificent body is akin to a mighty mountain! Your splendor is clearly grabbing the attention of the feathers, but this shouldn’t be an issue for someone with your amazing regenerative abilities."

Zhu Dayu fell silent and swallowed his words before he took out yet another hunk of meat to chow down on.

Very quickly, the injury on his butt healed.

However, not long after, yet another flaming feather arced over!

Bang!

"You have such a sturdy body! You must be the most heroic person I've ever seen, Brother Zhu!"

Bang!

"You truly have the demeanor of a future Duke, no, the demeanor of a King!"

Bang!

"Brother Zhu, look at how interesting this hole is... it's perfectly round!"

In the end, Zhu Dayu finally said with a pale face, "Brother Li Luo, could you please stand aside for a moment and give me a moment to catch my breath?"

Li Luo then consoled him, "You just have to hold on for a little longer. The assault of the elite disciples has begun to wane, so we will soon have an opportunity to counterattack!"

Zhu Dayu couldn’t get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth. Just what sort of unlucky star was this guy? With the way things were going, he might actually be killed! Although the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu possessed incredible restorative abilities, they weren't infinite!

But just as Li Luo spoke, the situation indeed started to change. Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, and the rest approached the elite disciples.

The countless flaming feathers that once blanketed the skies had started to reduce in number.

A glint flashed through their eyes. Immediately after, boundless amounts of resonant power surged out of their bodies like erupting volcanoes.

"Everyone, let's combine our efforts!" Qin Ying shouted as he rallied all of the higher Heavenly Pearl Tier cultivators to release their mightiest attacks.

A torrent of berserk resonance arts was launched in the direction of the eight elite disciples, and the air shuddered as they whizzed past.

The eight disciples similarly joined hands and executed a few more hand seals. Starry threads spurted out of the tops of their heads, forming a barrier that protected them.

Bang! Bang!

As the resonance arts landed upon the starry veil, it trembled violently before the attackers’ onslaught.

However, the starry veil wasn’t showing any signs of giving way.

The arts of the Sacred Void Resonance Sect were evidently exceptional.

When Qin Ying saw this, he frowned before he shouted, "Zhu Zhu! If you don't lend us a hand, we will all go home empty-handed!"

"Ah! Qin Ying! You're quite sharp. I can’t believe you noticed me."

Right after Qin Ying's voice echoed, a female's vigorous laugh could be heard. Then a pile of corpses suddenly blew apart, and a well-built figure dashed out. Eight Heavenly Pearls manifested, rotating rapidly behind her as she dashed towards a corner of the starry veil. Her fingers clenched into a fist and she struck out with imposing force.

Bang!

That single punch was ferocious and maniacal. However, the scene looked like a gigantic primordial pig colliding with a mountain, causing the ground to shake hard enough to feel like an earthquake. The corner of the starry veil could not endure Zhu Zhu’s punch, and a tear formed on the point of impact.

Some of the elite disciples on the stone platforms were affected by the aftershock and were sent flying.

When the platforms were exposed, all of the people in the crowd had blazing gazes as they knew that the passage to the gilded hall had emerged.

Almost simultaneously, wings appeared behind Li Luo and he kicked off like a bolt of lightning, explosively shooting towards the gap.

Similarly, the previously inanimate Zhu Dayu, who was moaning on the ground, demonstrated an uncanny swiftness that one would not expect from someone with his body type. He flashed forward, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Li Lingjing, Qin Ying, Zhu Zhu, and the rest did not rush in after them, as they had to concentrate on suppressing the starry veil. Otherwise, it would recover and block the entrance once more.

In the short span of a few breaths, Li Luo approached the tear in the veil. Just as he was about to barge in, a geyser of water appeared before him, and Qin Yi appeared in it. She had clearly been a step ahead of him.

When Li Luo's foot landed on the stone platform, the scene before him seemed to have changed. A trail appeared before him, and a gilded hall could be seen looming amidst the clouds and mist at the very end.

Li Luo's heart was bursting with excitement as he dashed forward. He reached the end of the path moments later, then he rushed into the gilded hall and disappeared inside.
