Chapter 1172: Hopeless and Desperate Situation

The raindrops were extremely sticky. It was clearly not ordinary rainwater, but some kind of creepy wax oil.

When the wax oil came into contact with the resonant power defenses on the students\' bodies, their resonant power began to melt. The wax oil was extremely cold, yet it gave off a sizzling sound like hot lava when it reacted with resonant power.

Soon, some of the weaker students cried out. After the wax oil corroded all of their resonant power defenses away, it immediately landed on their skins.

Then the most frightening thing happened—they instantly lost control of their own bodies.

The white wax oil slowly flowed around their bodies like an additional layer of white skin, then they were turned into ice-cold, human wax figures.

In just a few moments, quite a number of students fell to it. Nearly half of their bodies had been covered in the ice-cold wax. They watched in horror, but regardless of how much they struggled, it was all futile.

Screams of horror echoed in the air one after another.

None of them could take this calmly as they watched the terrifying sight unfold before them. They were all slowly turning into wax figures.

Some of the stronger students, like Feng Lingyuan, were able to resist the rain of wax. However, they could sense that their resonant power was rapidly being depleted. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they were lost to the rain too.

They could not help but feel an overwhelming sense of helplessness in their hearts. This was the power of Duke. A single move could change the situation drastically. With such a huge blanket attack, there was no chance of them escaping at all.

Ning Meng, Jiang Qing\'e, and Wu Changkong were observing what was happening with the other students, and their eyes darkened. They knew that the situation had turned completely hopeless after the fusion that the White Eyed True Devil had experienced.

Even if the trio worked together now, they could hardly pose any threat to the White Eyed True Devil.

This battle had really gone beyond their capabilities.

Although all three of them were at the pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier with the skills to beat opponents at higher tiers, it was clear that they had reached their limits when they tried to hold off the White Eyed True Devil when it possessed first-grade Duke strength. Now that it was further empowered, its strength had reached the peak of a second-grade Duke. This was far beyond what the trio could handle no matter what they tried.

Their only hope was to use some kind of pyrrhic method like the sacrificial ignition of Jiang Qing\'e\'s Heart of Light. As they were brooding over how to handle the situation, the White Eyed True Devil took the first strike.

Its cold, white eyes locked onto Jiang Qing\'e, Ning Meng, and Wu Changkong. It stretched out its hand with sharp claws. In the next instant, the white rain gathered up and was mostly directed towards the three of them.

Then it condensed into three human skin lanterns that were hundreds of feet tall, each one surrounding one of the three strongest students.

Resonant power surged up when the three of them noticed the situation. Attacks flew out as they tried to break out of the encirclement.

However, countless white ghost flames appeared within the lanterns, and there was a vicious-looking face inside each flame. They dissolved the attacks coming from the trio in the blink of an eye.

The human skin lanterns acted like three seals that kept the three of them trapped

The White Eyed True Devil did not attack them immediately even though they were trapped. Its cold, white eyes turned, and it suddenly looked towards the back at a youth holding onto a huge bow.

It was none other than Li Luo.

There was a spirit beast slumbering within this youth. That was a power that could threaten even it. As such, it had to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Li Luo was also trying to fend off the white rain at the moment. Nine radiant Heavenly Pearls spun rapidly behind his back. Although the white wax had not begun to wrap around his body, his resonant power was depleting at a shocking rate.

Suddenly, Li Luo felt a terrifying pair of eyes looking towards him. Cold sweat broke out immediately as he lifted his head and looked directly back at the White Eyed True Devil.

When their eyes met, Li Luo\'s mind turned hazy for a moment. Countless strange whispers echoed in his mind and he nearly lost control of the resonant power that was protecting him.

Fortunately, he had a strong will. He bit his tongue in a hurry and regained consciousness immediately, shaking off the influence on his mind.

Seeing this, the White Eyed True Devil stretched out its hands. The white rain in the surroundings gathered up once again and transformed into a white arrow. The white arrow filled with immensely chilly energy was locked onto Li Luo.

Li Luo was shocked to realize that he had no hope of escaping when that happened. The world space in his surroundings seemed to have frozen.

A Duke taking action was truly terrifying.

Li Luo glanced at the crimson bracelet on his wrist. It seemed like he had to awaken the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf after all.

Just as he was prepared to go all-out against the White Eyed True Devil, its body turned rigid for a moment. Suddenly, the white wax arrow began to show some signs of melting.

The White Eyed True Devil let out a cold roar. On its chest, the fourth face with a calm expression appeared to have opened her eyes.

It was Li Lingjing\'s face.

She seemed to be opposing the White Eyed True Devil\'s intention to attack Li Luo.

"Cousin Lingjing..." Li Luo noticed the internal struggle occurring within the True Devil. His heart both ached and felt fury towards this abomination.

Who would have thought that she was still trying to save him even in this state?

"I\'ll surely kill this White Eyed True Devil and save her!" Li Luo did not hesitate any further. He focused his spirit into the crimson bracelet, attempting to wake the Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf up.

Sadly, the call fell on deaf ears.

Li Luo did not panic. The Five-tailed Heavenly Wolf was in deep slumber, so the process would take some time.

At this juncture, the White Eyed True Devil roared out ferociously. A domineering pressure could be felt within its white eyes. Under this tremendous pressure, Li Lingjing\'s face went back to sleep with her eyes shut tightly.

The White Eyed True Devil had regained control over its body.

A vicious look appeared on its face. Filled with murderous intent, it locked onto Li Luo once again.

His earlier move had been detected by Jiang Qing\'e, who was trapped amongst the human skin lanterns.

Dazzling light resonant power burst out of her like the stream of holy water. Her golden pupils were filled with fury and murderous intent. The White Eyed True Devil was planning to kill Li Luo. With the latter\'s strength, it was unlikely for him to escape it.

But if Li Luo died right in front of her...

Even the usually calm and composed Jiang Qing\'e could not stop the overflowing murderous intent that was bubbling up within her. This was something she would never accept.

Shen Jinxiao was far stronger than the enemy in front of them, yet Jiang Qing\'e had not backed down from that fight at all. What was the White Eyed True Devil compared to him!?

Jiang Qing\'e\'s heart began to beat even faster. Her eyes turned cold, but she did not choose to activate the sacrificial ignition just yet.

She opened her hand, and a crystal appeared.

There was a nine-runed lotus that glimmered mysteriously inside the crystal. It was filled with an endless amount of spiritual energy.

It was the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus that Li Luo had given her. The seal on it had naturally disappeared when Li Luo passed the gift to her. With this treasure, Jiang Qing\'e could recover from the damage caused by the previous sacrificial ignition. She would also be able to solidify the foundations she had built up over time.

Of course, Jiang Qing\'e was not planning to break into the Duke Stage here. It would require a lot more preparation, and it would not be wise for her to hastily forge her Duke Bergfried in this situation.

However, she could attempt to break into the so-called pinnacle of the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Qing\'e did not hesitate any further. She swallowed the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus. At the next moment, a boiling geyser of energy erupted within her body.
