Chapter 6534 Heaven String Earth String

The zither music was steeped in killing intent. With every note, a sound blade tore through the sky like Sword Qi.

A storm of sound blades battered Qian Jie. Even with the Heaven Earth Armor shielding him, he was forced back again and again.

“Damn, I refuse to believe you can counter my Heaven Earth power!” Qian Jie roared.

Qian Jie shattered the incoming blades with his fists. Explosions of runes lit the sky, but the more he advanced, the stronger the sound waves became. The pressure only grew sharper the closer he drew to Zi Yan.

“I refuse to believe it!” Qian Jie howled, pushing his Heaven Earth power to his limit.

At this moment, cracks appeared on his forehead. After using too much Heaven Earth power, his body had reached its limit. Furthermore, blood seeped from the wound Yue Zifeng had left earlier.

By going all-out, he forced his way within a few miles of Zi Yan, but he couldn’t get any closer. His heart was screaming in outrage.

“Fool, stop being stupid! Her attacks can affect a person’s mind! Even with my protection, you can’t endure it forever. Look for an opening!” the Heaven Cauldron snapped.

Qian Jie jolted. Only then did he realize his madness had been influenced by the sound waves. Light flashed beneath his feet, and with a flash, he shot to the side.

In response, Zi Yan pulled the zither’s innermost string.

The Heavenly Devil Zither possessed seven strings. Normally, only the first five—Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu (do, re, mi, sol, la)—were played. These pentatonic strings could play all music under the heavens.

The remaining two were different: the Heaven String and the Earth String. They existed only to play the music of heaven and earth.

This time, Zi Yan pulled the Heaven String. As it vibrated, a sound blade cloaked in a majestic, sacred aura swept out like a heavenly saber capable of slicing gods and devils alike.

BOOM!

Qian Jie was struck head-on, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward. As he regained his footing, everyone was horrified to see a large crack on his chestplate.

“Heaven Earth power isn’t exclusive to the Heaven Earth Cauldron,” Zi Yan said coldly. “And an item-slave who relies entirely on borrowed power might as well be a maggot. You think you can challenge Long Chen?”

Zi Yan stood like a divine empress, with the Heavenly Devil Zither resting across her hands. Her aura was stunning.

“Slut, you’re asking for it!” Qian Jie roared, charging back.

But at that moment, the Heaven Cauldron’s voice rang out. “Stop fighting her! You’re wasting time. Kill those ants.”

The ants the Heaven Cauldron referred to were the Dragonblood Legion.

Qian Jie’s expression twisted into a sinister grin. Abandoning Zi Yan, he dove toward the Dragonblood warriors below.

“Who do you think you are?!” Guo Ran shouted, gnashing his teeth in fury.

Since when was the Dragonblood Legion considered easy prey? The broken drum appeared behind him, humming with power.

Before Guo Ran could do anything though, Zi Yan’s fingers slid across the Heavenly Devil Zither once more.

The entire heaven region’s battlefield shuddered. An enormous earthen screen of light erupted from the ground, blocking Qian Jie’s path.

BOOM!

Qian Jie struck the new screen of light with his fist, only to be knocked back.

“What powerful earth energy...” Li Qi and Song Mingyuan cried out in shock.

They had assumed all heaven and earth power had been drained by the Heaven Cauldron. Yet, Zi Yan’s technique also contained vast earth energy. None could tell whether it came from the battlefield itself or the Heavenly Devil Zither.

“Good, keep her on the defensive! Don’t worry, my power far exceeds the Heavenly Devil Zither’s. You can exhaust her like this,” the Heaven Cauldron shouted coldly.

This result was entirely within its expectations. Its goal was to wear out the Heavenly Devil Zither, because it had a huge advantage in this regard.

Hearing the command of his master, Qian Jie unleashed a flurry of blows toward the screen of light. The world was shaking with each impact.

“Are you really going to fight like this? You keep this up, and you will die,” the Heavenly Devil Zither warned Zi Yan.

“Senior, sorry!”

Zi Yan’s soft response left the Heavenly Devil Zither silent. The earth continued to quake with Qian Jie’s bombardment.

“Damn, damn, damn! Why?! Why can’t I fully enter my second form?!”

Evilmoon transformed into billions of petals swirling around the nirvanic rebirth space around Long Chen. All this time, it had absorbed an enormous amount of energy by Long Chen’s side, and its power had risen immensely. Yet, it still fell a hair short of entering its true second form.

In this battle between Heaven and Earth, Evilmoon couldn’t interfere at all. That was unacceptable for a lofty being like it. Worst of all, he could only watch as the Earth Cauldron was being devoured.

Long Chen regarded the Earth Cauldron as a master. If he awoke and found it consumed, he would go crazy.

Evilmoon trembled with anxiety, but there was nothing it could do. Splitting the two cauldrons earlier had already caused a terrifying backlash, and it had wasted much of its stored energy hacking the Heaven Cauldron to no effect. It was no longer qualified to participate in this battlefield.

Currently, Zi Yan was fighting Qian Jie, but the true confrontation was between their divine items.

At this sight, Evilmoon felt as if the world had cast it aside, leaving it as a spectator to the clash of heaven and earth.

Qian Jie continued to hammer the barrier with reckless abandon. Yet instead of weakening, his aura only swelled.

The Heaven Cauldron was devouring the Earth Cauldron. As the Heaven Cauldron grew stronger, Qian Jie’s strength grew with it.

An incense stick’s worth of time later, Qian Jie had unleashed over ten thousand blows without any signs of exhaustion. He seemed excited.

Then—

A clear zither note echoed across the battlefield, shaking the world.

Everyone was startled.

Zi Yan was focused on fighting Qian Jie and was not playing the Heavenly Devil Zither. Just where did this zither sound come from?

Everyone suddenly raised their heads and saw a shocking scene.
