Chapter 558: Surrounding Chu Kuangren, The Eight Celestial Demonic Chords Versus The Cultivators

Chu Kuangren released a blast of overpowering Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhyme. With the Springtime Lightning levitating before him, a single chord was all it took to shake the realm.

The Sword Tribe and other cultivators were shocked to witness this.

“Emperor Weapon? Guqin music?”

“Be careful, everyone. Rumor has it that his Guqin Dao is at a remarkably high level. He once defeated Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul in the same battle.”

“Hmph, so what if he did? No matter how sophisticated his methods are, he definitely wouldn’t survive so many people attacking him.”

“That’s true…”

The Sword Tribe Elder glared at Chu Kuangren and made the first move. Having specialized in Fire-based Sword Dao, a fearsome fiery Sword Dao aura expanded from his body and engulfed the realm. In a second, he locked his focus onto Chu Kuangren.

With a swing of his blade, the elder unleashed a calamitic firestorm that could almost turn the world into ashes!

The firestorm ferried countless amounts of sword qi as it swept towards Chu Kuangren.

“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Boundless Overworld!”

With that, the first movement was played. A powerful soundwave emerged, casting a boundless shield that separated the approaching firestorm ten meters away from Chu Kuangren.

The rest then made their moves too.

The swordsmen’s sword qi, the demon’s demonic qi, and the ferocious demonic beasts all charged towards Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren stretched his fingers over the Springtime Lightning’s strings and continued playing the various movements of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords. A series of incessant guqin music echoed in the realm.

The petrifying Guqin Daoist Rhyme flooded over the battlefield like a boundless ocean.

Endless Torrential Gale, Profound Carillion Resonance, Assaulting Convergence…

As the guqin music began to reach its climax, the musical sound waves catapulted many attacking cultivators out of the battlefield.

Part of the guqin music even manifested into a storm of blades that pierced through a handful of cultivators.

Even a Sage Rule found it hard to fend off such an attack.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was still standing on his spot, unmoved. All he did was pluck the strings with his fingers, and countless cultivators had perished under his guqin music.

His remarkable combat strengths stunned the observing cultivators.

“This Guqin Dao is simply incomprehensible.”

“When it comes to Guqin Dao, the most proficient cultivators of the Emperor Road are from the orthodoxies in the Seven Chord City. However, I’d wager that even the leaders of those orthodoxies are not as skilled as him.”

“Just how many tricks does this maniac know?”

The guqin music resonated through the realm, as if Chu Kuangren was the only person to exist in the picture frame.

He was plucking on his instrument majestically with his untainted, pristine white attire while surrounded by Guqin Daoist Rhymes that swept outward, wave after wave.

What an otherworldly and admirable scene.

Yet, outside of the frame, countless cultivators were being slaughtered by his guqin music, and the bloodbath made the sky rain blood!

It was majestic yet gruesome!

“Sword Art, Flame Meteor!”

The Sword Tribe elder let out a deep grunt as his Sword Dao aura began to rise.

The elder swung his sword forward, summoning a terrifying fireball above him that crashed towards Chu Kuangren like a meteor.

His power had far surpassed the most excellent Boundary Emperor. Not even the outlawed sky-prides would be capable of producing such a movement.

“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Unending Voracious Vigor!”

Chu Kuangren played the next movement, which sent a surge of abrupt yet devastating musical sound wave that penetrated the flaming meteor.

With a loud explosion, the meteor imploded.

The blast waves sent devastating energy into its surroundings.

“When are you going to attack?!”

The Sword Tribe Elder yelled at Balha, Bai Tianque, and the Wang Clan Matriarch.

These people were considered as some of the strongest fighters on the battlefield.

They had initially intended to let others go first so that they could test the waters and observe Chu Kuangren’s techniques.

Needless to say, it surprised them that Chu Kuangren’s guqin skills had reached such an unfathomable level. His music had wounded and killed large groups of cultivators. It was difficult to even get close to him.

The guqin attacks were precisely built to combat against multiple opponents.

“Let’s attack!”

“Since we’re here, there’s no need to hold back any longer. There can only be bad days ahead if this person survives.”

Bai Tianque uttered and proceeded to attack.

Although he was the only representative from the Bai clan, he was considered the strongest cultivator on the battlefield.

Bai Tianque levitated into the air and channeled his spiritual powers into his palms. A boundless flow of Daoist Rhymes emerged from his body and formed an enormous seal in the air.

It was one of the Bai clan’s Emperor Technique, the Bai Celestial Seal!

As the Bai Celestial Seal began falling towards the ground, explosions erupted in the void, and blastwaves swept out in all directions.

When the seal locked onto Chu Kuangren, he felt the space around him becoming still.

“Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!”

Chu Kuangren continued plucking at his guqin, releasing an even frightening form of Guqin Daoist Rhymes that lifted his music to another level.

With guqin music echoing in the realm, the mountain shook, and the earth resonated with its tune!

Under the majestic power of Chu Kuangren’s music, the Bai Celestial Seal shattered before it could even reach the ground!

“That’s one scary guqin music!”

Bai Tianque’s eyes widened.

“Blade of Agony!”

At that instance, Balha made his move as well. Using his black blade in his hand, he unleashed a dark blade ray that eclipsed the sun!

The blade was coming right for Chu Kuangren’s face!

The Wang Clan Matriarch immediately reinforced the attack by concentrating a multicolored array of lights within her hand.

“Five Way’s Grip of Capture!”

As soon as she unleashed her palm technique, an enormous multicolored palm manifested and clawed its way towards Chu Kuangren while ferrying an unstoppable amount of Five Ways energy.

“Sword Art, Flame Meteor!”

The Sword Tribe Elder attacked once more, turning his fiery sword ray into a meteor and hurling it towards Chu Kuangren.

Few other elders of the Sword Tribe followed suit by each unleashing a sword ray that was exemplary of a Boundary Emperor’s power!

Very few, if any, in the Emperor Road could survive such a magnitude of attack.

The violent energies and Daoist Rhymes intertwined in the air and transformed into a colorful ocean of energies that swarmed towards Chu Kuangren.

All of the cultivators could not bear to look away.

‘It looks like this is the end of that freak!’

Almost all of the spectating cultivators had similar thoughts.

Some sky-prides, such as Bai Hongyu, Xiao Jingchen, and Touheng was starting to see a glimmer of hope.

They prayed desperately for Chu Kuangren to die.

As long as Chu Kuangren was alive, their lives would be miserable.

They just could not see a chance in becoming an Emperor if Chu Kuangren was still alive.

Under everyone’s scrutiny, Chu Kuangren calmly opened his mouth in the face of such an unprecedented attack.

“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Final Movement, Grand Melodic Void!”

Just like its name implied, the grandest of melodies rang into a void!

A burst of unfathomable guqin music erupted, amplified by the power of Springtime Lightning.

No one knew how best to describe the guqin music. All they knew was that the music had transcended beyond the limits of their senses and struck their souls!

It was a soundless terror!

As the grand Guqin Daoist Rhymes clashed with the combined attacks of the cultivators, the dead silence in the scene instantly turned into a deafening explosion!

The blast wave ravaged in all directions, sweeping countless cultivators away in the aftermath.

The Wang Clan Matriarch, Sword Tribe Elder, and Bai Tianque were the first to feel the impact and absorb the most blastwave.
