Chapter 1233: Star Transformation
"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, I believe this is your first time experiencing this power. Let me give you a quick demonstration," Luo Jiang said to Jiang Qing\'e with a smile. He waved his hand with the Dragon Fang Envoy plaque, and the energy from five thousand Dragon\'s Fang Guardians gathered up. It flowed into his body, causing the void to tremble. Luo Jiang was an upper third-grade Duke, and his strength had reached that of a fifth-grade Duke with the assistance from the five thousand Guardians.
When Li Luo and the group were ambushed previously, Li Foluo had come to their aid with only five thousand Guardians. However, he was able to fight a sixth-grade Duke back then.
This meant that even with the same number of Dragon\'s Fang Guardians, one would reach a different level of power depending on the user.
Luo Jiang activated the enormous resonant power flowing in his body and caught one of the World\'s End River Meteors. His power was surging yet fluid, flowing endlessly and naturally out of his body. Luo Jiang possessed a water resonance.
The waves of resonant power flowing out of his body transformed into a giant water vortex that enveloped the World\'s End River Meteor.
Light-blue water resonant power brushed against the World\'s End River Meteor repeatedly. It started out as large as a small hill, but the vortex was causing it to shrink.
This was not because the energy from the World\'s End River Meteor was dissipating—it was due to the cleansing of all the residual corruption left on the meteor. As the corruption was slowly purged, the energy left behind became more refined and condensed.
In other words, the smaller the World\'s End River Meteor became in the end, the more refined its energy would be, and the larger the number of Star Pearls.
Thousands of Dragon\'s Fang Guardians watched the vortex cleanse the meteor with eyes wide open. They were all secretly cheering for Luo Jiang as they watched the World\'s End River Meteor slowly grow smaller.
This process was directly tied to the rewards they would receive in the end.
Li Luo looked up and watched the purification process continue. Then he turned over to Grand Commander Xia Yu and asked, "Under ordinary circumstances, how much can we purify and refine the World\'s End River Meteor?"
Xia Yu smiled at him. "For the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians, the Guardian General is usually the one in charge of obtaining the World\'s End River Meteors. Our two Dragon Fang Envoys are then responsible for the purification process while Grand Commanders like us assist them. Other Guardians focus on providing resonant power to support us. Last month, our smallest meteor ended up being 970 feet, which gave us 4,200 Star Pearls in the end."
"970 feet..." Li Luo thought about it for a moment. The World\'s End River Meteor in front of him was still around two thousand feet or so. It seemed like the purification process wasn\'t easy after all
"What about the other Guardian Armies?" Li Luo asked.
"The Dragon\'s Bones Guardians, the Dragon\'s Scale Guardians, and the Dragon\'s Horn Guardians are pretty similar to us. However, the Dragon\'s Blood Guardians are able to do much better than us as they have the strongest Envoys in the Five Guardian Armies."
"The strongest Envoys?" Li Luo\'s eyes flickered. He could not help but look over at the golden lotus platform that the Dragon\'s Blood Guardians were occupying. In the middle of its sky, the Dragon\'s Blood Envoys were purifying and refining their own World\'s End River Meteors.
What attracted Li Luo\'s gaze was the person on the right. He was a tall and strapping man with an extremely sharp gaze. He radiated an impressive presence merely by floating there.
Behind him were four Duke Bergfrieds that continuously devoured worldly natural energy.
He was a fourth-grade Duke!
"His name is Yuan Tianzhao, the Left Dragon\'s Blood Envoy for the Dragon\'s Blood Lineage. He is the only Envoy that has managed to become a fourth-grade Duke," Xia Yu explained with a sigh.
Li Luo narrowed his eyes. It was really impressive to have a lower fourth-grade Duke as a Dragon\'s Blood Envoy. After all, the Guardian Generals from the other four Guardian Armies were only upper fourth-grades. Only Li Zhihuo was a fifth-grade.
In other words, Yuan Tianzhao would be able to rival the other Guardian Generals if he managed to take another step forward in his cultivation. It was no wonder the Dragon\'s Blood Guardians were the strongest.
"Yuan Tianzhao is Li Zhihuo\'s right hand man. Although his surname is different, Li Zhihuo thinks really highly of him and shares a lot of cultivation resources with him. Everytime Yuan Tianzhao purifies a World\'s End River Meteor, he is able to reduce it to seven hundred feet or so, which roughly translates to six thousand Star Pearls. That’s something we\'re all envious of," Xia Yu continued without hiding her envy. If their side could get six thousand Star Pearls out of each World\'s End River Meteor, that would result in tens of thousands of Star Pearls by the end of the event. This would be a windfall for everyone involved.
Li Luo nodded as he listened. The World\'s End River Meteors were directly tied to the cultivation speed of the Five Guardian Armies. It was no wonder everyone was jealous of Yuan Tianzhao\'s strength.
As the two of them were chatting, a soft cheer was heard from the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians.
Li Luo turned over to take a look. Luo Jiang had managed to purify the World\'s End River Meteor to less than a thousand feet. Based on his estimate, it was around 980 feet wide now.
Luo Jiang smirked a little, very pleased with his performance. He clapped his hands together, and the huge resonant power vortex began to shrink in size.
Bang!
The World\'s End River Meteor exploded, shooting out many lights. There was a shiny, round pearl around the size of an infant\'s fist inside each of them.
Extremely pure and majestic worldly natural energy flowed within the shiny pearls. From the looks of it, there were around four thousand pearls.
At the same time, cheers could be heard coming from the other platforms too. It seemed like the Envoys from the other Guardian Armies had also finished their purification.
Li Luo looked back at the Dragon\'s Blood Guardians, where Yuan Tianzhao was. The World\'s End River Meteor above his head had shrunk to a size less than seven hundred feet, almost reaching six hundred feet.
In the end, the World\'s End River Meteor exploded too, turning into seven thousand shiny Star Pearls.
The morale of the Dragon\'s Blood Guardians was bolstered and they cheered thunderously.
It seemed Yuan Tianzhao’s purification ability had reached new heights once again.
The members of the other four Guardian Armies could only watch in envy.
Luo Jiang retracted his gaze and pouted. He turned over to Jiang Qing\'e with a warm smile and said, "Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, I\'ll leave the next one to you. Don\'t be nervous. It\'s your first time using the power of the Guardians, so it\'s normal to feel a little unfamiliar with it. When I first did it, I nearly ruined the entire World\'s End River Meteor."
When he finished speaking, all of the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians looked over at Jiang Qing\'e.
"Dragon Fang Envoy Jiang, all the best!" Li Fengyi cheered for her playfully.
Li Fuling and the others followed suit as well. Although Jiang Qing\'e had just joined the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians, she had won many fans and supporters with her beauty and unrivaled talent.
Jiang Qing\'e looked back at Li Fengyi and nodded slightly. She then grabbed her Dragon Fang Envoy plaque and waved it in the air, causing the energy from the other half of the Dragon\'s Fang Guardians to activate.
Bang!
A dazzling Duke Bergfried appeared in the air.
The Duke Bergfried had an incomparably sacred appearance, as if it was made of glass. Ten ancient, golden pillars stood firmly around it, giving off an impeccable charm.
Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried!
This was a symbol of perfection. When the unrivaled Duke Bergfried appeared, everyone’s attention was drawn over to it. Even the members of the other Guardian Armies were looking.
The five Guardian Generals in the air glanced over as well.
It was extremely rare to see a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried.
With all eyes on her, Jiang Qing\'e clasped her slender, jade hands together. Three holy and brilliant light Spirit Avatars appeared behind her back. Under their dazzle, the worldly natural energy in the surroundings transformed into light resonant power and flowed into her.
As soon as the three Spirit Avatars appeared, the crowd grew boisterous.
Three ninth-grade light resonances!
What kind of demonic talent was this!? Li Luo also looked up at this moment. Seeing his fiancee steal the limelight put a smile on his face.
Jiang Qing\'e seemed to have noticed him; she lowered her head a little and looked back at Li Luo. Then her mouth curled up a little.
"So cool!" Xia Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Qing\'e retracted her gaze and began to form hand seals as everyone watched in anticipation. At the next moment, enormous amounts of light energy swept across the field.
Light halos appeared around the World\'s End River Meteor one after another. Divine resonant power flowed across the meteor like streams of holy water.
Then everyone watched in disbelief. The World\'s End River Meteor that was thousands of feet wide began to shrink at an astonishing speed.
In just a few moments, the World\'s End River Meteor was reduced to less than a thousand feet! More surprisingly, the purification continued to accelerate! Luo Jiang, Xia Yu, and the rest stared with their eyes wide open.
Even Li Foluo, who was in the air above them, squinted in surprise.
