Absolute Resonance

"There is no rush, we'll take one question at a time."

When faced with Li Luo's barrage of questions, Tan Tailan couldn't help but grin. She gently led the two to take a seat and watched their curious faces. Warmth filled her eyes as she looked at them once again. She had been fighting without pause in the Nobles' Battlefield, and there was no time to experience the warmth of others. "Let's start with your question on becoming a Greater Transcendent Duke."

Tan Tailan slightly smiled. "Well, I'm not the only one. Taixuan has also reached a similar realm."

"Father is also a Greater Transcendent Duke?" Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's faces were filled with shock. Didn't this mean their family possessed two true Transcendent Dukes? This was an incredible foundation. In the thousands of years of history in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, there might not have been a single family that had such achievements.

Li Luo could feel that he would be able to run rampantly around the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent in the future.

He was taken aback for a bit before he asked doubtfully, "I don’t remember you and Father having Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds in the past."

In his memories, the two of them had revealed their Duke Bergfrieds before, and none of them were Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds.

"Because we were outsiders, we didn't wish to reveal our full strength in the Xia Kingdom. Thus, no one other than Pang Qianyuan knew how strong we were. The Duke Bergfrieds we revealed were disguised. Of course, our foundations at that time had not reached the point where every single Duke Bergfried was a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried. This means that the two of you have a much higher starting point than us." Tan Tailan revealed a heartened smile as she looked at the two of them.

Jiang Qing'e suddenly piped up. "You and Father must have come across a great opportunity in the Nobles' Battlefield, allowing you to make up for your foundation's deficiencies."

"You are smart, Little Jiang'e." Tan Tailan smiled sweetly as she lightly pinched Jiang Qing'e's beautiful face. "The Nobles' Battlefield is dangerous beyond comparison. However, it also contains incredible opportunities. What might seem impossible in the outside world is common over there. Taixuan and I wandered along the edge of life and death numerous times in our time there, and during one such occasion, we were being chased by three Other Kings. We ended up falling into a spatial rift that contained the ancient remains of fallen Kings, and a miraculous divine fruit was growing on their bodies. The two of us took the initiative to destroy our flawed Duke Bergfrieds and then, with the aid of the fruit, rebuilt new ones. In the end, we became Transcendent Dukes and slaughtered the three Single Crowned Other Kings."

Tan Tailan's eloquent words frightened the two of them. Although the situation was explained rather simply, they could sense the amount of danger their parents had been in. They had been chased down by three Kings before they became Transcendent Dukes. This was an absolutely frightening experience, but thanks to their cooperation and extraordinary talent, they had managed to escape. Even an ordinary ninth-grade Duke wouldn’t have any hope of escaping—they would have been smashed to pieces in the face of such might. The fact that they had voluntarily destroyed their own Duke Bergfrieds to reforge them demonstrated their incredible courage. This was an incredibly dangerous decision. A single misstep, and their foundations would’ve been completely shattered, making it difficult for them to advance ever again, much less rebuild it into something perfect.

Many Dukes had attempted to do this since ancient times, but nine out of every ten had failed with nothing to show for it.

That said, being able to discover those ancient remains in the spatial rift meant that Tan Tailan and Li Taixuan were blessed.

It seemed it was true that the Nobles' Battlefield was a magical land full of hidden opportunities that anyone would drool over.

"Mother, just what is the Nobles' Battlefield?" Jiang Qing'e asked as her eyes flickered with interest. Although she had stepped on the Path of Ascension, becoming a true Transcendent Duke was a ways off. Her talent and foundation were even greater than Tan Tailan and Li Taixuan’s at the same point, but she still needed to find the right opportunities.

"The Nobles' Battlefield is the location where our world meets the Shadow World. You can think of it as the front line where the two worlds are in direct contact. It is also one of the most perilous locations known to man. Some of the natural disasters there are so devastating that even Kings dare not come into contact with them. It is the most ancient location in the world and is full of countless secrets. Even the Others have a strong desire to corrupt everything there," Tan Tailan solemnly explained.

She then turned towards the two. "Now that the two of you have grown up and started on the Path of Ascension, you'll naturally have to go there in the future. You'll struggle against the heavens and the earth as well as the Others, forging your own path."

Li Luo nodded in agreement before asking, "What about our old man? Now that he's a Greater Transcendent, why isn't he back? If he came with you, Qin Jiujie wouldn't have been able to escape."

At this point, Tan Tailan's smile slightly receded.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's hearts almost jumped out of their chests when they saw her change in expression.

"Did something happen to Father?" they hurriedly asked.

"Well, not yet." Tan Tailan hurriedly reassured her two children. "For the sake of a great opportunity, your father and I worked together to take down a Triple Crowned Other King. Just as we were on the cusp of destroying it, we ended up drawing the attention of a Grand Devil King."

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e glanced at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. These two were clearly looking to die! They had tried to ambush a Triple Crowned Other King? And they almost succeeded?!

And then a Grand Devil King...

Li Luo raised his head and looked at the gap in the World's End River, where the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus' gigantic stone eye was. The mere action of looking down upon the World's End River Region filled the place with a chilly aura and instilled fear in everyone present.

The Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus Grand Devil King had not managed to fully descend, but it had created massive casualties to the World's End River Region. In the end, Li Jingzhe was forced to ignite his own crowns in order to mutually destroy the Human Fetus. Meanwhile, Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan had actually encountered a Grand Devil King by themselves in the Nobles' Battlefield.

Just the thought of it made Li Luo's scalp turn numb.

He had always thought of himself as quite the daring individual, considering the trouble he had gotten himself into in the past, but who would have known that his parents were even more audacious? This was literally showing off before the masters.

"And then?" Li Luo asked with his mouth dry.

"We fled and the Grand Devil King pursued us for quite a while. Finally, the two of us hid in a pocket in the void where the fragmented world formed a wall, preventing the Grand Devil King from chasing us for a while. In the end, the Grand Devil King chose to seal the entire void pocket and evoked its demonic flames, planning to refine us along with the world. However, my space resonance allowed me to sense an unstable region of the World's End River. Alas, it was simply too chaotic, so your father was unable to pass through it, but I was able to. I was barely able to cross it. I wanted to stay with him, but your usually obedient father turns as stubborn as a smelly rock at times like those. He let me escape through the World's End River so I could call for reinforcements to rescue him. We argued for a while, but in the end, there was no other choice and I had to escape through the unstable region of the World's End River. Inexplicably, I ended up close to the World's End River Region. That was when your grandfather and I sensed each other's presence. With that, he used the power obtained from igniting his crowns to forcibly break through the World's End River barrier, and I took the opportunity to escape through it."

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's expressions warped upon hearing this.

"Then how is Father now?!"
