Chu Kuangren arrived at the Infinity Guqin Banquet with an incredibly mysterious guqin music Daoist Rhyme emanating from him.

At that moment, thousands of guqin at the scene were welcoming his presence!

Everyone looked indescribably shocked to witness that scene.

It was as if that person was the G.o.d of guqin himself.

Otherwise, how could a phenomenon like that even happen?

"It's him. How could it possibly be him?!"

Li Changyin's expression suddenly changed.

Not only him but many people around him had also recognized the person as Chu Kuangren.

This person had shown up at the Cloudveil Pavilion a few days ago. Yet during that time, everyone thought he knew nothing about guqin Dao.

As such, the scene before them was like a slap on their face.

s

If he could make something like this happen with absolutely no knowledge of guqin Dao, then what would that say about the rest of them?

"I can't believe what Brother Murong said was true."

Yang Xiyun looked at Chu Kuangren's figure with amazement.

She suddenly recalled Murong Xuan telling her that his Sect Leader also knew how to play the guqin. He even said that his Sect Leader could play it better than her, which caused them to have quite a squabble over it.

She had forgotten about that later on.

However, she knew now that Murong Xuan was not lying to her at all. The Black Heaven Sect Leader was indeed a master in guqin Dao!

"Who the h*ll are you, young man?"

Guqin Demon stopped playing when he noticed Chu Kuangren's sudden appearance and looked sternly at the latter.

His keen sense told him that the guqin music Daoist Rhyme from this person before him was just too extraordinary.

"I'm its master." Chu Kuangren pointed at the Springtime Lightning and chuckled.

"Bullsh*t!"

Guqin Demon snorted. The Springtime Lightning had never acknowledged anyone as its master since it appeared, so how could it even have one in the first place?

Without another word, Guqin Demon held the Yin Demon Guqin and faced Chu Kuangren, to whom he said in a chilling tone, "I don't care who you are, but those that get in my way of obtaining this guqin shall die!"

He then pressed his five fingers onto the Yin Demon Guqin and strummed it.

Violent and frantic guqin music rang out, sounding like a group of barbaric demons dancing wildly. It was filled with darkness and terror.

The surrounding void continuously erupted amid the guqin music. The attack was extremely horrifying.

This gave Li Changyin, Yang Xiyun, and the others no choice but to step back for fear that they would be caught up in the guqin sound waves.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren merely stood still. As soon as the guqin music attack neared him, it was stopped by an invisible surge of mind power.

"Your guqin music is quite… noisy!"

Chu Kuangren uttered before he lightly stroked the void with his finger.

An invisible thread appeared out of thin air, and it was surrounded by surges of guqin music Daoist Rhyme.

It was a… Guqin String!

He could shape his own qi into a string!

"The Overworld String!!"

The surrounding guqin cultivators were stunned.

The Overworld String was the highest realm one could reach in guqin Dao.

One may not have a physical string, but as long as Daoist Rhymes were present, anything in the world, such as a strand of hair, could be made into a guqin string.

The guqin cultivators did not expect Chu Kuangren's level of mastery in guqin Dao to have reached such a level!

Even Guqin Demon was shocked to see this. After all, even someone like him still had a long way to get to the realm of The Overworld String.

Yet, the person before him could do it so effortlessly!

This was truly unbelievable.

"It's been a while since I've used guqin Dao in combat. You're lucky to be able to witness this."

Chu Kuangren chuckled as his fingers plucked onto the qi string that was formed within the void, unleas.h.i.+ng a terrifying wave of guqin music Daoist Rhyme. "Third movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Profound Carillon Resonance!"

With a pluck of the string, guqin music resounded in the air!

The guqin music sounded as if it pa.s.sed through from the archaic ancient times. It carried an ever-changing, simple, and dense aura.

In a blast, that simple guqin music instantly shattered Guqin Demon's chaotic guqin music and subsequently slammed into his body with a majestic poise!

A streak of blood spurted out.

As Guqin Demon was sent flying several meters away, he looked at Chu Kuangren with an indescribable shock in his eyes. "Such guqin music… That's impossible!"

Meanwhile, the Ji Clan Leaders and others who were battling Art Ghoul had also stopped.

They were all shocked by what Chu Kuangren did as well.

Art Ghoul's expression changed. He immediately dispersed the surrounding Daoist Rhyme and dashed to Guqin Demon's side. "Brother Guqin Demon, are you alright?"

Guqin Demon wiped the blood away from his mouth. "I'm fine, but this guy… His proficiency in guqin music is extremely profound. I'm afraid I alone am not a match for him."

"Don't worry. If we take him on together, I bet we can defeat him without trouble."

"Very well!" Guqin Demon nodded.

Then, Art Ghoul waved his gigantic brush and drew a stroke into the void. As if a large bucket of ink was poured into the void, huge amounts of ink started to stain its surroundings.

The sky seemed to have transformed into a painting.

However, it was not a painting of gorgeous flowers, or magnificent mountains and rivers, or dazzling beauties that were dancing gracefully….

It was a scene from h.e.l.l with countless ghouls and ghosts instead!

Within the painting, numerous ink-formed ferocious ghosts rushed towards to attack Chu Kuangren.

In the meantime, Guqin Demon sat with his legs crossed and strummed the Yin Demon Guqin. A chaotic and dark tune suddenly reverberated through the realm.

Accompanied by the wailing of the thousands of ghosts, the might of the dark tune became stronger!

An incredibly horrifying Daoist Rhyme filled the whole area, turning it into an apocalyptic scene that echoed with chaotic demonic music!

"What terrifying power."

"I can't believe Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul can unleash such scary combat strength when they join hands!!"

"By the heavens, the power of those two is just too horrifying!"

All the younger cultivators were stunned by the magnitude of Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul's power.

Such power was just too overpowering.

Even Boundary Emperors like the Ji Clan Leader and others were fearful of it.

"This level of power is approaching that of a Sovereign?!"

The Ji Clan Leader gulped and said.

A Sovereign did not refer to a realm of power. It was a term to describe beings more powerful than Boundary Emperors but possessed combat strength weaker than an Emperor.

In the whole of Emperor Road, only a handful of people possessed the combat strength of a Sovereign.

Most of them formed the mid-level support for their respective archaic ancient orthodoxies.

Since Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul could unleash a power that was close to a Sovereign, it was no wonder they had the guts to come to the Seven Chord City for the Springtime Lightning.

Although their combined power might not be able to feat the joint forces of several past ancient orthodoxies, no one would be able to stop them from escaping if they wished to.

"Merging guqin and art as one? That's interesting."

Chu Kuangren grinned as he felt a horrifying pressure coming from all directions. At that moment, he sensed a threat.

As the ghosts rushed to attack him, surges of sword qi were unleashed from his body, tearing them all apart.

However, the number of ghosts that Art Ghoul could create with his spiritual power as ink seemed infinite.

Coupled with Guqin Demon's guqin music, which became increasingly chaotic, it was about to reach a higher level.

"Boy, this Demonic Ghoulish Art Melody is a technique that took both of us thousands of years in hiding to develop. You should consider yourself lucky for having the honor to witness it first!"

The Art Ghoul uttered coldly as he held the gigantic brush.

Only then did everyone realize the reason why the Art Ghoul and Guqin Demon had disappeared for so many years. It turned out that they were busy developing a technique to combine guqin music and art.

There was no doubt that the results of their research were very fruitful.

Guqin and art — two different types of Daoist Rhyme, two different types of skills, and two different surges of energy had combined to form a completely new and shocking power!

That was the highest level of coordination between two Boundary Emperors!

It was also one of the rarest sights in this world.

s

However, there was no sign of panic on Chu Kuangren's face despite such a menacing sight and overbearing power before him. His gaze was as calm as usual.

His eyes were like a calm and bottomless pond.

"You both should be honored instead because you're about to hear the most wonderful song in this world!"

"It is a guqin music meant for the Celestial Demons themselves, the real sound of the world's nature!"

An incredibly terrifying guqin music Daoist Rhyme erupted from Chu Kuangren's body as he coldly commanded. "Guqin, come!!"
