"Guqin, come to me!!"
Chu Kuangren shouted, and coupled with the guqin music Daoist Rhyme that was surging on his body, the Emperor Weapon Springtime Lightning suddenly began to react.
The Springtime Lightning, which none of the guqin cultivators could resonate with no matter how hard they tried, trembled violently.
An overpowering surge of guqin music Daoist Rhyme and Emperor's Aura erupted before it resonated with Chu Kuangren's guqin music Daoist Rhyme. Everyone was stunned.
The Emperor Weapon Springtime Lightning then turned into a blue bolt of lightning and disappeared on the spot, heading towards Chu Kuangren at breakneck speed.
In a blink of an eye, the Emperor Weapon Springtime Lightning broke through Art Ghoul's painting world as it flew towards Chu Kuangren.
Thousands of ghouls were wiped out wherever it went!
The bolt of lightning stopped in front of Chu Kuangren, where it reverted to the Springtime Lightning's form.
Its crystal blue body was carved with gorgeous patterns, and it had an extraordinary Daoist Rhyme…
Every aspect demonstrated that this Emperor Weapon was no ordinary item.
s
Despite its pride and arrogance as an Emperor Weapon, it levitated calmly before Chu Kuangren as if waiting for him to play it.
Chu Kuangren gently brushed his fingers across the Springtime Lightning's body and murmured, "If you deem me as your master, I shall use you to play the most beautiful and grand music the world has ever heard!"
The Springtime Lightning trembled lightly as if it was responding to Chu Kuangren's voice.
Every guqin cultivator outside the world within the painting was stupefied.
They could not even make the Springtime Lightning move despite giving their best effort. Yet, it straight up deemed Chu Kuangren as its master just because he commanded it to do so?!
That power gap between them was just too big!!
"How can such a skilled guqin master exist in this world!!"
"Unbelievable. This is simply unbelievable!"
This scene was just too shocking even for cultivators like the Ji Clan Leader and others who were at the peak of guqin Dao.
They would not be so surprised if the Springtime Lightning had simply deemed someone as its master.
However, the way the Springtime Lightning acknowledged Chu Kuangren as its master was just too much for them to handle.
"So what if you have the help of the Emperor Weapon? With Art Ghoul and my combined power, we're undefeatable in this world!"
Guqin Demon yelled. His behavior was starting to get a little crazed at that time, and his guqin music had become increasingly chaotic.
It was the same with Art Ghoul as well.
Using his spiritual power as ink, he kept on drawing out countless ferocious ghouls to attack Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren simply pressed his fingers on the Springtime Lightning's string and said, "Have a taste of the Celestial Demonic Chords!"
With a clang, guqin music echoed in the realm.
First Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Boundless Overworld!
Boundless and overbearing qi that contained the energy of the world began to attack everything in the world within the painting!
Second Movement, Endless Torrential Gale!
Guqin music turned into countless wind scythes, which built up into a terrifying hurricane that swept out in all directions and killed thousands of ghouls at once!
Third Movement, Profound Carillon Resonance!
A piece of simple guqin music emerged, blasting Guqin Demon backward once again!
Fourth Movement, Assaulting Convergence!
Guqin music surged in from all directions, attacking the painting world!
Five Movement, Unending Voracious Vigor; Sixth Movement, Devastating Cyclone Barrage; Seventh Movement, Synchronous Overworld Anarchy…
When the Seventh Movement played, the painting world started to give way under the multiple waves of guqin music Daoist Rhyme.
As the heavens and earth within it trembled, the painting world immediately crumbled!
Under the might of that terrifying power, Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul suffered a heavy blow.
Even so, Chu Kuangren's guqin music did not stop there.
Sounds of guqin music continued to echo in the realm.
At that moment, all eyes were on the figure who was playing the guqin. Nothing else was worth their attention more than this.
It was as if he and that guqin were the only things that remained in the world.
As waves of guqin music Daoist Rhyme reverberated through the void, everyone could feel as if they had turned deaf as they could not hear anything.
However, their souls were still trembling uncontrollably.
The impact of Chu Kuangren's guqin music had far exceeded the limits of their senses, and it was reaching into their souls instead!
"Final Movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Grand Melodic Void!"
The final movement of the eight rang out and unleashed an indescribable surge of guqin music Daoist Rhyme, which poured out like an endless torrential wave!
It was silent, but it shook the very heavens and earth!
"Grand Melodic Void. It's the Grand Melodic Void!! This is the real Grand Melodic Void!!"
The Melodious Void Sect Master looked at Chu Kuangren with amazement.
Their sect was named the Melodious Void Sect because they adhered to the concept of the void and simplicity that formed the core of their melody.
However, no one in the Melodious Void Sect has ever achieved that level even until now. To her surprise, she was witnessing it from an outsider instead!
With the Grand Melodic Void playing, overbearing and endless surges of guqin music Daoist Rhyme instantly erupted onto both Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul.
The two top-notched Boundary Emperors could no longer resist the might of that attack and were injured to the brink of death.
By then, their Boundary Emperor physique had already been damaged to the point of no return.
Both of them were lying on the ground, their brush and guqin strings broken.
"The music of the Celestial Demons. This is truly the music of the Celestial Demons!!"
The dying Guqin Demon looked at Chu Kuangren, but there was no hint of resentment in his eyes.
In fact, there was a sense of yearning and a kind of… satisfaction!
"You truly are a wonder for being able to play such music. Do tell me your name." Guqin Demon looked at Chu Kuangren with a curious gaze.
"It's Chu Kuangren!"
"Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren… Haha. Dying from guqin music like this may not be a bad thing after all…"
"Are you very impressed?"
"Having heard something so wonderful, I can die content!"
Guqin Demon uttered as the hostility on his face faded away. In the end, he died with a smile.
However, the same could not be said for Art Ghoul beside him.
He was a painter, after all, so he was not that content with dying like Guqin Demon.
He struggled to take out a Great Shift Talisman from his Yin and Yang ring, seeking to use it to escape.
It was at that moment when a foot stepped onto his arm, kicking that Great Shift Talisman away.
Chu Kuangren looked at him and said nothing. Instead, he unleashed a streak of sword qi from his finger towards his opponent and ended Art Ghoul's life once and for all.
Finally, he kept both of their Yin and Yang rings as well.
He had gained quite a lot of rewards this time.
The greatest reward being the Springtime Lightning recognizing him as its master.
The pairing of Emperor Weapon and his Eight Celestial Demonic Chords was now one of Chu Kuangren's most powerful techniques!
"Congratulations for gaining the Emperor Weapon's acknowledgment, Brother Chu."
The Melodious Void Sect Master walked to Chu Kuangren with a passion burning in her eyes.
The look she had on her was worlds apart from her previously unfriendliness.
"Huh, Brother Chu? Melodious Void Sect Master, are you acquainted with this person as well?"
The Phantasmic Melody Sect Master asked curiously.
"Of course, Brother Chu is an esteemed guest of my Melodious Void Sect." The Melodious Void Sect Master chuckled.
Chu Kuangren was very amused to hear that.
He had lived in the Melodious Void Sect for several days, yet no one cared about him at all besides meeting Melodious Void Sect Master on the first day.
He was still an esteemed guest despite all that??
However, he did not comment much on that matter.
After all, Murong Xuan and Yang Xiyun were a couple, and it was very likely that their sects would become in-laws in the future as well.
"Young man, as the master of the Springtime Lightning, you shall be my Phantasmic Melody Sect's distinguished guest from now on."
"Brother Chu, you're always welcome to visit my Ji clan whenever you wish as well."
The few Boundary Emperors were trying to get on good terms with Chu Kuangren.
Aside from his profound mastery in guqin cultivation, Chu Kuangren's combat strength alone was enough for them to have him as their ally.
"Haha. I've known since seeing him at Cloudveil Pavilion that Brother Chu is remarkable. He's truly extraordinary."
"That's right, that's right."
s
"Brother Chu, you have gotten rid of a great harm for us guqin cultivators today by killing Guqin Demon."
The other guqin cultivators all went up to compliment and congratulate him.
However, there was one person who was staring at Chu Kuangren with a chilling gaze.
That person was the Sword Tribe's Jian Changfeng.
He looked at Chu Kuangren and sneered. "Everyone, do remember to think twice before you build relations with someone new. Precious lives might be lost if one happens to be on the wrong side."
