Vrhoom!
A dark reddish flame was ablaze on Luo Li's body, completely enveloping her within itself. From afar, she seemed like an enormous red torch extending from the earth to the skies. As the red flames encased Luo Li's body, dark crimson droplets of blood trickled down from her hand, dripping into the Luo River.
Drip… Drip...
The Luo River was formed in the ancient times. When the founding ancestor of the Luo God Clan fell, they transformed into this very river. However, its power could only be called upon by the purest royal blood of the Luo God Clan.
As the blood dripped into the Luo River, the redness in the river turned brighter and brighter. A stream of bright red light spots floated upward unceasingly, gathering around Luo Li upon the White Jade Stage, and the flames engulfing her burned more and more intensely.
Luo Tianshen stood to Luo Li's right, his pale face unusually tense. He looked at the boiling Luo River. It was rumored that the purer the royal blood of the Luo God Clan member, the easier it was to resonate with the Luo River, granting one purer strength.
Luo Li currently had the purest royal blood in the Luo God Clan. This had been tested as soon as she was born. As such, Luo Tianshen believed that the Luo God Ritual conducted by Luo Li would be different from before.
Luo Tianshen squinted as he glanced at the sky in the distance. A glint of fear dashed through his eyes. He knew that the enemy, like crouching tigers, must've been spying in the dark. If they were to find out that Luo Li's Ritual was beyond their imagination, they would most definitely wreck havoc to disrupt it. However, Luo Tianshen planned to stop that from happening!
Luo Li was the Luo God Clan's final hope. If any mishaps were to happen to her, the Luo God Clan she had gathered again would crumble instantly. When that time came, the Luo God Clan would be history.
Although he was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, the heavy injuries he had had shaved away some of his vitality. Even his position and fame in the clan had fallen as a result. Otherwise, he would've forced the three Earthly Sovereigns from the branch royal family into submission from the beginning. However, no matter what, if anyone wanted to disrupt Luo Li's Luo God Ritual, he would let them know that even a tiger on the brink of death had sharp fangs!
At this thought, Luo Tianshen's face gradually turned vicious.
Shalala!
While Luo Tianshen's killing intent burned hot in his heart, the Luo River beneath began to boil a little, and blood-red bubbles surfaced incessantly. The change in the river was noticed by countless eyes.
BAM!
The bubbles burst one by one, and suddenly, a ball of blood-red light slowly floated out of a bubble. The higher it went, the clearer the light was. Finally, it turned into a bright red flower about the size of a palm. A bright red flame burned brightly on that flower. Most marvelously, on every petal of the flower was a faint, slender shadow. While the shadows were blurry, they were vaguely captivating.
The flower bloomed, and at the same time, an ancient and immense power from the bloodline was exuded. When the powerful people from the Luo God Clan, such as Luo Tianshen and Luo Tianlong, saw the burning blood-red flower, their faces were full of uncontrollable joy and had a lack of composure. Even some royal members of the clan could not help exclaiming in awe and marvel. ”That's the Roselle!”
In the Luo God Ritual, different signs and wonders would occur depending on the purity of bloodline. According to the legends, the purest sign would be that of the Roselle! It was said that these flowers were once the blood of the Luo God ancestor. They were hidden in the deepest parts of the Luo River, only appearing when beckoned by those with the purest bloodline.
In the many years of the Luo God Clan's history, the appearance of the Roselle could be counted using one hand, and no one expected to witness such an appearance today.
The three Lower Earthly Sovereigns from the branch family expressed a stark disbelief and fear when they saw the blooming blood-red flower. They looked at each other and exclaimed bitterly, ”How… how could it be the Roselle!?” They understood that Luo Li's bloodline was considered pure, but they did not expect her Luo God Ritual to summon the Roselle.
Their faces were quickly changing. Judging from the current situation, Luo Li's Luo God Ritual must be extraordinary. If she ever obtained the inheritance of the Luo God, she would most certainly enter the realm of Earthly Sovereigns. In that future, her achievements would be beyond their imaginations.
Who knew... Luo Li might even become the second Luo God in the clan. In that case, her status would be untouchable, and the branch families could only bow down to her whole-heartedly. Most importantly, people like them who tried to bring Luo Li down would definitely be eliminated. Thinking of this, a vicious glint flashed in their eyes.
