ALL NOVEL Chapter 64
Nangong Changfeng first stroked his beard and let out a cold laugh, then furrowed his brows and in the end, got so scared he plucked out his beard, left dumbfounded!
The Crown Prince felt a jolt, his blood boiling, his breaths coming in quick gasps.
Li Wujie turned red in the face, his heart almost leaping out of his chest, sounding like a drum beating wildly.
This was inferno-level excitement!!
Ye Junlin was fully immersed in the moment, his finger techniques so fast it was a blur, leaving trails on the strings, his silver-white long hair flying wildly, eyes sparkling with divine brilliance, his skin radiating a sheen like crystal jade.
Everyone suddenly had the illusion that ahead stood an ancient god-king playing a celestial tune!
“How could he play such an exquisite piece? This level of skill is top-tier in the Central Region, no one dares challenge him!”
Hong Qianye looked shocked, grasping the profound meaning hidden in the music, recalling the days when he was a big shot in the Central Region, gaining fresh insights.
Boom!
Hong Qianye’s aura soared, progressing from early Great Ascension to mid, late, peak, then to completion!
Only one step away from the Tribulation Stage!
Li Wujie stood frozen like a statue, entering a moment of enlightenment.
Crack! The bottleneck shattered, his realm breaking through from Fusion to Great Ascension, releasing an aura hundreds of times stronger than before, his black hair billowing, eyes glowing cold as lightning.
He gazed at Ye Junlin, his eyes filled with fervor.
Boom!!
At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from Ye Junlin.
The Crown Prince’s spirit jolted, exclaiming: “Mid Tribulation Stage! You are actually a Virtual Immortal!”
With the boost of his cultivation, combined with peak-level qin skills, Ye Junlin played “Authority Over All” as if supported by divine help.
Zheng Zheng Zheng…!!!
Strange ripples spread out, resonating with the Dao, echoing across mountains and rivers for miles.
The common folk living on this land bathed in the cleansing notes of the qin.
Those who were gravely ill, bedridden for years, suddenly rejuvenated, old ailments vanishing; they excitedly rushed outside, leaping joyfully.
The soldiers of Great Zhou and cultivators from various sects experienced realizations, all breaking through in cultivation.
“This is a miracle! A miracle!!”
“Heaven bless our Great Zhou!”
People were overwhelmed with gratitude, shouting praises.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Unseen, the national fortune of Great Zhou rose rapidly.
At the Xuan Zheng Hall.
The Great Zhou Emperor was enveloped in a white glow, suddenly sensing something, and with the nation’s fortune along with years of accumulation, he broke through the shackles within him.
From today, the Great Zhou Emperor officially advanced to the Tribulation Stage, becoming the only Virtual Immortal-level ruler among the illustrious immortal dynasties in Cangzhou!
“Which senior is helping our Great Zhou? This qin music seems to be coming from the Tianhe Hall!”
“Is it possible…?”
The Great Zhou Emperor gasped, eyes filled with reverence.
At the same time.
The ghost army invading Great Zhou, led by the Horned Demon King, charged in fiercely, intent on storming the capital.
But unexpectedly, the situation changed!
The exhilarating qin notes echoed through the sky, infused with extremely profound power.
For the Human Race, Ye Junlin’s qin music was immensely beneficial, but for the creatures of the Underworld Abyss, it was fatal damage!
“Ah…” A cacophony of screams arose from within a massive cloud of black mist.
Many ghost beings were covered in sizzling white smoke, their flesh rapidly dissolving.
Even using magical power to resist had little effect.
This damage felt like a curse!
“Lord, save us, please save us…” The subordinates writhed in pain, howling.
The Horned Demon King was startled and angry, releasing a storm-like murderous aura, roaring to the heavens: “Who is attacking? Step out! Hiding is not a skill!!!”
The roar shattered mountain peaks, the heavens nearly collapsing.
Yet, the qin music continued unabated, showing no signs of stopping.
In just a few breaths, a multitude of ghost beings turned to ash, the once two hundred thousand strong ghost army reduced to fewer than ten.
Several Ghost Commanders struggled to hold on, nearly melted away, sending out faint mental signals, “King… retreat… the Humans have a powerhouse…”
Then, one by one, they vanished.
“No!!”
The Horned Demon King’s eyes bulged with rage, unleashing a heart-wrenching roar.
His body was riddled with wounds, a sight that could make anyone shudder, but due to his early Tribulation Stage cultivation, he was relatively less affected, barely holding on until the end.
For the Horned Demon King, the whole ordeal was pure agony!
“Who is it? Who exactly is it?!!”
The Horned Demon King shouted hoarsely; he refused to retreat, instead holding onto a violent fury, charging forward defiantly.
The Horned Demon King knew there was no turning back.
Leading a million troops against Great Zhou, only to have them all wiped out; if he didn’t do something, he would face judgment even if he returned!
Quickly, white smoke sizzled all over the Horned Demon King, the pain tearing at him, sinking deep into his bones, even his divine soul trembling.
“No way, if this goes on…”
The Horned Demon King gritted his teeth, producing a purple medicinal pill that exuded a sinister aura.
This was the Underworld Yuan Pill granted by the emissary!
“At this point, I can only take it. Whatever the cost, I will find that behind-the-scenes powerhouse!”
The Horned Demon King swallowed the pill, howling to the heavens, dark purple divine light shooting from his eyes.
He could feel the power surging within him, his cultivation leaping from early tribulation to mid tribulation!
Boom boom boom…
The Horned Demon King’s aura became terrifying, his body cloaked in dark purple light, resembling an otherworldly comet streaking towards the distance.
As he passed, the common folk felt absolutely terrified.
The Horned Demon King sensed that with his cultivation rising, the influence of the qin music on him diminished.
All thanks to that Underworld Yuan Pill!
The Horned Demon King knew this was likely temporary; there might be unimaginable side effects later, but he had no way out now, he had to complete the task given by the emissary!
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The Horned Demon King’s eyes were blood-red, his face exuding murderous intent,
As long as one breath remained, he would storm the capital and slaughter indiscriminately; clearly, this had become the Horned Demon King’s obsession.
Zheng Zheng Zheng~!!!!
Just then, the intense qin music reached its climax, the released mysterious power growing even stronger.
All across Great Zhou, strange phenomena appeared, shocking the world!
The bright moon rises over the sea!
The picturesque rivers and mountains!
Stars twinkling in the sky!
The sun and moon shining together!
Dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony!
…
All of Great Zhou was in an uproar, cheers deafening.
“What?!”
The Horned Demon King was horrified, his body feeling as if it had been struck hard and crashing to the valley bottom, raising massive clouds of dust.
“Ah ah ah ah!” The Horned Demon King’s face twisted in pain, letting out chilling screams, like a wild boar thrashing in a mire.
All his life force was rapidly fading, exposing his gory white bones, even his bones were covered in web-like patterns, looking as if they would shatter any second.
“Who’s doing this? Who? If you have the guts, show yourself to me!!”
The Horned Demon King completely broke down, craving to see the qin player behind it all, not wanting to die like this without a clue.
Unfortunately, even that thought became a luxury!
“The Humans have a great horror…” The Horned Demon King wore a fearful expression.
He was extremely unwilling, very unwilling!
A dignified Tribulation Stage ghost king, dying without even knowing who killed him!
How utterly pathetic!
In the end, engulfed in despair, the Horned Demon King’s body crumbled to dust, his very consciousness eternally silenced in darkness.
At Tianhe Hall, Ye Junlin’s fingers danced across the qin strings, the technique no longer bold and forceful, and his aura began to retract.
After a while, “Authority Over All” came to a close.
The whole place was silent.
You could hear a pin drop!
“Whew…” Ye Junlin let out a heavy breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Playing just now was so exhilarating that he entered a transcendental state; “Authority Over All” truly was epic!
[Ding, congratulations host for defeating the ghost army, reward: Immortal-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water)!]
A playful notification sounded in his mind.
Ye Junlin: “???”
