Chapter 6533 Zi Yan vs. Qian Jie

Waves of divine light cascaded from the violet-robed woman, infecting the world with her goddess aura. She was peerlessly beautiful, like a fairy from a painting, as though she did not belong to this world at all.

Immortal spiritual qi drifted around her, mingling with faint wisps of black qi that exuded Devil Dao’s aura. That aura alone shook the entire battlefield.

An ancient zither rested upon her knees. Its craftsmanship was exquisite, with various profound carvings on it. Its seven strings quivered, emitting a divine sound like a devil’s growl that nearly tore the soul from listeners’ bodies.

“Zi Yan!”

Meng Qi and the others cried out first. But as they sensed her aura more closely, they weren’t so sure anymore.

Although Zi Yan was concealing her aura, that terrifying Devil Dao aura was simply impossible to hide. Furthermore, her spiritual fluctuations were ice-cold, filled with murderous intent.

She felt like an entirely different person from the Zi Yan they once knew.

“This aura... the Heavenly Devil Zither!” the Heaven Cauldron exclaimed, its tone tinged with a hint of disbelief.

“The Heavenly Devil Zither?! Another one of the ten great primal chaos divine items?!”

Gasps erupted across the battlefield. Two primal chaos divine items had appeared in the heaven region’s battlefield!

But when they thought about it carefully, how could a normal sound blade shatter the armor condensed from Heaven Dao’s power? Only the Heavenly Devil Zither could achieve such a feat.

Zi Yan’s arrival stunned everyone, but her eyes were fixed on only one person: Long Chen.

When she saw him, her icy expression softened ever so slightly, and warmth stirred across her face.

At this moment, the Heavenly Devil Zither’s voice echoed in Zi Yan’s mind.

“It’s a trap. Leave now if you wish to escape. Its Heaven Earth power is merging, and I am not a match for it. I can only help you bring him away with you.”

Zi Yan slowly turned away from Long Chen and looked at Meng Qi and the others. After giving them a slight nod, she smiled for the first time in a long time.

That single smile dispelled the doubts of Meng Qi and the others. No one else could have smiled like that.

Zi Yan shook her head, “You can see for yourself. Long Chen’s hot-blooded brothers and women are all here. They stayed despite knowing they might die. In fact, many people whom Long Chen has never met before are willing to fight to the death for him.

“Do you feel like I can leave with Long Chen alone? With his character, he would rather die with those who stand with him. If I forced him away... he would hate me forever. Senior, please... let me be willful just this once.”

The High Firmament Academy, the Four Cardinal Alliance, the Lightning Falcon race, and the Starry River Sect had come in full force. Many of their experts had only ever heard Long Chen’s name and never seen him. Yet, they had bravely stood their ground here. Not a single one of them had fled.

There had been several chances to escape earlier. However, they had given up that chance and stayed here to defend Long Chen with their lives. Zi Yan would never abandon such people.

The Heavenly Devil Zither sighed, but it didn’t argue.

With its guidance, Zi Yan had found a heaven-defying opportunity within the heaven region’s battlefield. It had already sealed off Zi Yan’s senses so that she wouldn’t get drawn into Long Chen’s battle.

However, during the merger of the Heaven Cauldron and Earth Cauldron, the scales that represented the laws of the world shattered. In that moment, the block over Zi Yan’s senses failed, and she sensed Long Chen.

Then, Zi Yan immediately rushed over.

The Heavenly Devil Zither could only sigh helplessly about it. Perhaps this was fate, and it could not change it.

Holding the Heavenly Devil Zither, Zi Yan walked toward Qian Jie. Qian Jie was bewildered for a moment, his eyes locking onto her.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He could not fathom how Long Chen possessed such absurd fortunes: the Earth Cauldron’s acknowledgment, a terrifying saber spirit guarding him, countless people risking their lives for him—

And now, even a beautiful woman with the Heavenly Devil Zither came for him.

As a result, the flames of jealousy threatened to burn Qian Jie.

“Don’t worry, the Heavenly Devil Zither has its body but not its soul. It is even weaker than the Earth Cauldron. I have obtained a portion of Heaven Earth energy. You can kill her. As long as Long Chen dies, this merger will instantly finish. At that time, I will destroy the entire heaven region’s battlefield, and no one will know of it,” the Heaven Cauldron transmitted.

“Yes!”

Qian Jie revitalized, spreading his arms as runes surged around him. The Heaven Cauldron’s light flashed, forming a full divine battle armor across his body.

Others couldn’t help but feel jealous. Although Qian Jie was an item-slave, he now wielded the Heaven Cauldron’s power.

As the Heaven Cauldron devoured the Earth Cauldron, their Heaven Earth power merged. With time, Qian Jie would only grow stronger.

“The Heavenly Devil Zither? So what? You don’t have your soul and are not qualified to act arrogant in front of the mighty Heaven Earth Cauldron! Have a taste of the Heaven Earth Battle Armor!” barked the Heaven Cauldron

In response, Qian Jie stepped forward and unleashed a punch through space. He instantly appeared in front of Zi Yan.

Zi Yan gently pulled back a zither string, and a screen of light flew out.

BOOM!

Qian Jie’s fist struck that light, letting a ripple spread like lightning. It was like a crescent blade splitting the world in two.

Everyone was stunned. Was this the power of the primal chaos divine items? How could a casual blow contain such devastating power?

Fortunately, this ripple didn’t spread too quickly, giving people ample time to get out of the way. Otherwise, who knew how many people would die?

The ripple thundered through the world.

Qian Jie’s battle armor contained Heaven Earth power, blocking Zi Yan’s light screen. At this moment, seven-color light flashed on that screen, and the pentatonic scale rang out.

This was no longer a simple confrontation. It was a collision of will between two primal chaos divine items.

“Ah, so you aren’t the Heavenly Devil Zither. You’re just a husk that gave rise to its own will. You are not the original item-spirit,” sneered the Heaven Cauldron.

Through this exchange, it understood the Heavenly Devil Zither’s state. No wonder its aura seemed off.

“In that case, I don’t need to have any misgivings!” Qian Jie shouted, his confidence rising. His battle armor shone brightly as he once more struck the screen of light.

BOOM!

Zi Yan’s light screen shattered. As it did, a sharp sound blade sliced toward Qian Jie.

The Heavenly Devil Zither also seemed to have been provoked, and its icy voice rang out.

“Even if I am just a husk, annihilating a little item-slave is not a problem.”

BOOM!

Qian Jie unleashed a punch that blew apart that sound wave. After it shattered, Zi Yan started to play the Heavenly Devil Zither.

Zither music rose, sounding like the mountains and rivers of the world. Then, sound blades sliced through the sky toward Qian Jie like a hurricane.
