The strings vibrated, their sounds of battle echoing across the heavens, like a prelude to war. With each vibration, a sharp sonic blade, like a slashing sword, was unleashed.
"Boom boom boom..."
Countless sonic blades shot out like a storm, overlapping and endless.
Even with the power of Qiankun gathered and clad in the Qiankun Armor, Qian Jie was forced to retreat repeatedly amidst the torrent of sonic blades.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe you can withstand the power of Qiankun..."
Qian Jie roared, fighting against the current, his arms flailing, shattering sonic blades with his fists, runes filling the sky, his power terrifying.
However, when Qian Jie reached within a hundred miles of Zi Yan, he could no longer approach. The closer he got to Zi Yan, the more terrifying the power of the sonic blades became.
"I refuse to believe this evil..."
Qian Jie's brow glowed, the power of Qiankun circulated to its limit, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on his face.
At this moment, he had used too much of his power, reaching the limit of his physical body, and blood was seeping from the wound on his brow inflicted by Yue Zifeng.
"Boom boom boom..."
With his full power, Qian Jie moved forward several hundred feet, but after approaching a hundred feet, he could no longer get any closer. At that moment, he felt agitated and almost went mad.
"Fool, don't be reckless. Her attacks have the power to disturb the mind. Even with my power protecting you, you can't withstand it. Go find her weakness." Just as Qian Jie was almost driven to madness, Qian Ding's voice came.
"Whoosh!"
Hearing Qian Ding's words, Qian Jie's heart skipped a beat. He realized that his rage was caused by the opponent's attack. He flashed his feet, avoiding the torrent of sound blades, and cut in from the side.
"Buzz!"
However, before he could get close to Zi Yan, Zi Yan's jade hand plucked the string of the Heavenly Demon Harp closest to her.
The Heavenly Demon Harp has seven strings, but normally only the front five are used. These five strings play the five notes: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu.
These five notes are sufficient to play all the music in the world. The other two strings are the Earth String and the Heaven String, and they are only used when playing music of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Zi Yan plucked the Heaven String. As the Heaven String vibrated, a powerful sonic blade roared out, like a celestial blade slashing across, causing gods and demons to flee. With a loud
"boom
," Qian Jie was struck by the sonic blade, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.
When he regained his footing, people were horrified to find a shocking crack appearing on the armor on Qian Jie's chest.
"The power of Qiankun isn't exclusive to the Qiankun Cauldron. You, a mere weapon slave, don't cultivate your own power, completely dependent on others. You're no different from a parasite. Do you even deserve to fight Long Chen?"
Zi Yan, holding the Heavenly Demon Qin, her purple robes fluttering and long hair dancing, looked down upon all living beings like a Qin Emperor descended to earth.
"You bitch, you're courting death..."
Zi Yan's words enraged Qian Jie, who was about to rush over to fight her.
However, at this moment, Qian Ding's voice came: "Don't fight her head-on, it's a waste of time. Go kill those ants."
The ants Qian Ding referred to were the people from the Dragon Blood Legion. Hearing Qian Ding's words, a ferocious smile appeared on Qian Jie's face.
"Buzz!"
Qian Jie immediately abandoned Zi Yan, bent down, and charged towards the Dragon Blood Legion.
"This is outrageous!"
Guo Ran was furious. When did the Dragon Blood Legion become such a pushover? He gritted his teeth, and the dilapidated bronze drum appeared behind him. Before
Guo
Ran could even make a move, Zi Yan lightly flicked her jade-like hand on the Heavenly Demon Harp, causing the entire Heavenly Domain Battlefield to tremble. A yellowish-brown light barrier, tens of thousands of miles long, appeared before Qian Jie.
"Boom!"
Qian Jie punched the light barrier, only to be blasted away by it.
"Such powerful earth energy..."
Li Qi and Song Mingyuan exclaimed in surprise. Both were earth-elemental experts, highly sensitive to the power of the earth.
Previously, with the Qiankun Union, they thought it had drained the power of heaven and earth.
However, Zi Yan's move was imbued with vast earth energy. It was unclear whether this energy drew more from the Heavenly Domain Battlefield or from the Heavenly Demon Harp's own inherent power.
"Very good. Let her defend. You can attack relentlessly. My power far surpasses the Heavenly Demon Harp's; I'll wear it down quickly," Qian Ding said coldly.
It seemed everything was within its expectations. Its goal was to wear down the Heavenly Demon Harp, as it held an absolute advantage in this aspect.
"Boom boom boom..."
Qian Jie swung his fists, smashing them fiercely against the light barrier. His fists rained down like raindrops, and the heavens trembled under his blows.
"Are you sure you want to keep going like this? If this continues, you will surely die." The voice of the Heavenly Demon Harp rang in Zi Yan's mind once again.
"Senior, I'm sorry!" Zi Yan said tremulously.
Hearing Zi Yan's response, the Heavenly Demon Harp said nothing more, and the world was filled with the sound of Qian Jie's violent punches.
"Damn it, damn it all... Why... why can't I enter the second form..."
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon transformed into billions of petals, guarding the Nirvana space of Long Chen, its heart filled with resentment. During
Long Chen's Nirvana, it absorbed endless power, its own strength soaring, and it thought it could directly open the second form.
But in the end, it was still just a little bit short. In the battle between heaven and earth, it couldn't even intervene, which made the proud Evil Moon extremely uncomfortable.
What tormented it most was that the Kun Cauldron was gradually being devoured by the Qian Cauldron. Long Chen respected the Kun Cauldron almost like his own master. If Long Chen woke up and found the Kun Cauldron being devoured, it was unknown whether he would go mad.
At this moment, Xie Yue was filled with anxiety, but there was nothing it could do. Previously, it had severed the Qian and Kun Cauldrons, forcibly separating the two cauldrons that had begun to merge, and suffered an extremely terrifying backlash.
Later, it frantically attacked the Qian Cauldron, consuming a massive amount of its primordial power. Now, it didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the battle.
Now, Zi Yan was fighting Qian Jie, which was actually a battle between two chaotic artifacts. The Dragon Bone Xie Yue felt abandoned by the world. It seemed to have become a spectator, which made it so distressed that it was going crazy.
"Boom boom boom..."
Qian Jie frantically attacked the barrier. What was most shocking was that Qian Jie's aura not only did not show any signs of weakening, but instead became stronger and stronger.
People realized that this must be because the Qian Cauldron was devouring the power of the Kun Cauldron. While it was constantly growing stronger, Qian Jie's power was also soaring.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qian Jie unleashed tens of thousands of punches, yet showed no signs of fatigue, growing increasingly frenzied and excited.
Suddenly, a zither rang out, causing the heavens to tremble. People were astonished; Zi Yan had been fighting Qian Jie the entire time and hadn't plucked the Heavenly Demon Zither. Where did the music come from?
People looked up, and then a scene that horrified them unfolded before them.
