Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 329
Chapter 329: Battling Eversodden Sage, The Great Formless Dao, Grand Melodic Void
As the two palm attacks collided, a violent impact swept out.
Both Chu Kuangren and Eversodden Sage were also pushed back from the impact. At that moment, all the Outer Seas’ Sages rushed towards them to surround Chu Kuangren.
“Hand over all the treasures you took, kid, and we shall let you live.”
“That’s right. Otherwise, you might as well give up on leaving this island.”
The Outer Seas’ Sages glared at Chu Kuangren.
Upon seeing this, Chu Kuangren simply replied lightly, “Oh, is that so? I’m curious to see you try..”
The moment he finished speaking, his guqin, the Lingering Song, had already appeared before him.
His fingers were placed onto the guqin strings, ready to play it at any moment!
The Four Domains’ Sages turned grim when Chu Kuangren brought out that guqin and they hurriedly backed away as they knew what was about to happen.
They could not help but look at the Outer Seas’ Sages with pity since those guys did not know what kind of lunatic they were messing with!
“Hmph, guqin Dao? No matter how powerful your guqin music is, can you standoff against all of us thirty Sages here?”
One of the Sage sneered. Then, his figure dashed towards Chu Kuangren as his horrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted!
At that, Chu Kuangren began to pluck the guqin strings which let out a sudden clang!
“Third movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Profound Carillon Resonance!”
His terrifying guqin music instantly burst out!
That Sage’s Daoist Rhyme was torn apart by the guqin music, and its violent energy sent that Sage flying hundreds of meters away, where he crashed into the ground. His bones were all broken, his ligaments were all damaged, and there was no sign of life left in him!
This shocked everyone present!
A Sage was killed by a single guqin music attack!
‘What kind of terrifying guqin music Dao is that?’
“What the hell is going on with that guy’s cultivation level?”
“Isn’t he just a mere Honorable?”
The Outer Seas’ Sages were extremely frightened.
Honorables were the ones who were killed off by a Sage in one move, not the other way around. The fact that the latter happened almost crumbled their worldview.
“Everyone, please go ahead and start.”
Arrogantly, Chu Kuangren casually plucked his guqin as a gesture to everyone, and since he had killed a Sage with one move, no one dared to act hastily anymore.
When Eversodden Sage saw that, he took the lead and attacked first.
A Great Sage like him was no doubt strong enough to do so.
As soon as Chu Kuangren noticed that, he activated his Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art. His energy and aura rapidly increased while his fingers danced quickly on the guqin strings.
“Unending Voracious Vigor!”
“Devastating Cyclone Barrage!”
The fifth and sixth movements of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords were unleashed together.
The incredibly violent energy from the guqin music landed on the Eversodden Sage and clashed with the Daoist Rhyme on his body, causing the surrounding void to rumble.
All of the Sages were so terrified by that horrifying strength that none of them dared to step forward. Instead, they hurriedly retreated, in fear that they would be caught up in that battle.
“That’s too powerful. Who the hell is that person anyway?”
“Putting aside the guqin Daoist Technique that he’s using, why do the red flames on his body look so similar to the infamous Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art?”
“Is this a joke? Isn’t the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art a suicide technique that’s forbidden even for the Sages? How could he dare to use it?”
Even the Four Domains’ Sages were secretly stunned, let alone the Outer Seas’ Sages.
They were aware that Chu Kuangren knew the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art, yet none of them expected him to use that technique in such an ordinary and casual manner!
“Since he could use this forbidden technique as he wishes, could he have a technique or method to negate its side effects?”
“Impossible. Generations of Sages have been struggling to come up with one that could negate the side effect for a long time. Why else do you think it’s deemed a forbidden technique?”
“Just because the Sages in the past were unsuccessful, it doesn’t mean that Chu Kuangren will end up the same as well. Don’t you guys forget, that guy can’t be measured by ordinary common sense.”
The Sages immediately fell silent.
In the past few years, they had seen their fair share of how terrifying Chu Kuangren’s combat strength was.
Countless feats that were deemed impossible by everyone? He had achieved them all. So it was not out of the ordinary if he did have a way to negate the side effects of the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art.
“Torrential Cascade!”
Eversodden Sage[1] let out a sudden roar, and a terrifying surge of Daoist Rhyme erupted from his body as sounds of water gushing rang out from the void.
That surge of Daoist Rhyme contained quite an extremely chilling energy that entangled itself with the guqin music, eventually overpowering it in a split second!
“Oh, it’s some sort of Sage Ruler Technique, and since the user is already a Great Sage, it’s no surprise that it could display such a remarkable combat strength.”
Chu Kuangren uttered softly. Although he possessed multiple Sage Ruler Techniques and Emperor Techniques, he knew that Sage Ruler Techniques were quite uncommon as most of the Sages only used common Sage Techniques.
In the face of Eversodden Sage’s Daoist Rhyme attack, Chu Kuangren abruptly changed his tune, unleashing an even more terrifying burst of guqin music Daoist Rhyme.
In a split second, clouds gathered and winds billowed while thunder rumbled in the sky. The ground was affected too as earth qi surged and the lands shook.
It was as if the heavens and earth were accompanying the tune of that guqin music!
“Seventh movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!”
A piece of immeasurably terrifying guqin music erupted, and wave after wave, it fixed its target onto the Eversodden Sage from all directions.
That energy was just sensational!
Even the Eversodden Sage’s face turned pale as he frantically channeled his Daoist Rhyme to resist the incoming guqin music Daoist Rhyme.
The sound of water gushing continuously clashed with the overbearing guqin music. Gradually, the sound of water faded while the guqin music became increasingly stronger.
“Damn it!”
“Ten Thousand Rivers Convergence!”
The Eversodden Sage screamed as he channeled his spiritual power to its limit. He even took out the broken saber that he had used earlier to resist the Emperor’s Aura, to increase the power of his cultivation technique.
Suddenly, it was as if thousands of rivers and streams were converging towards the Eversodden Sage, forming into an incredibly dominating and horrifying Daoist Rhyme that was akin to a vast ocean. Then, it headed straight for Chu Kuangren.
His guqin music was brutally torn apart by that attack!
“Time for you to die, kid!”
This technique was the Eversodden Sage’s strongest attack!
It was so powerful that the surrounding void became distorted. It was as if there was really a vast ocean converging on the Eversodden Sage, and it crashed on Chu Kuangren after that
“That guy is as good as dead!”
The Outer Seas’ Sages fixed their eyes on that scene.
They did not think that Chu Kuangren could resist and survive that attack because not many among the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands could.
Under the eyes of the Sages, Chu Kuangren plucked his guqin string once again. The moment he did, guqin music abruptly halted and a chilling silence fell upon the whole area!
However, a surge of earth-shattering and undescribable Daoist Rhyme was gathering around Chu Kuangren’s body and his fingertips that were on his guqin.
“Final movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords… Grand Melodic Void!”
Chu Kuangren released his fingers from the guqin strings, and although no sound came out, a bloodcurdling surge of Daoist Rhyme had already erupted!
As the great Dao was formless, so was the Grand Melodic Void!
That was the pinnacle of guqin music Dao. It was not that there was no sound, but the sound had already blended and merged with the Dao, so it was inaudible, intangible…
Nobody knew when it started and when it would disappear.
The silence was louder than sound!
The instant Chu Kuangren loosened his fingers from the guqin strings, Eversodden Sage could suddenly feel his heart thumping as a chill ran down his spine!
The boundless and majestic guqin music Daoist Rhyme rushed towards him. Despite its silence and unobtrusiveness, it effortlessly destroyed his Daoist Rhyme!
The moment his Daoist Rhyme dispersed, the guqin music Daoist Rhyme hit the Eversodden Sage’s body and sent him flying like a kite with a broken string. Even for someone with the body of a Great Sage, his muscles and ligaments were brutally broken and torn apart.
