Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2604: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow

Chapter 2604: Unable to Withstand a Single Blow

Meng Yao sat on the ground and took out an ancient zither. She placed it horizontally across her knees and her jade-like fingers brushed across the strings gently, letting out a faint immortal sound.

The moment the sound of the zither sounded, everyone was captivated and could not help but immerse themselves in it.

Even the immortal tea in the hands of the cultivators became indifferent and tasteless.

Although the sound of the ancient zither clearly sounded in the ears of the immortals and monks, everyone’s hearts were unusually quiet. Their surroundings seemed to have become extremely empty and only the sound lingered.

Meng Yao plucked the strings with her left hand to create the notes while fretting with her right. Her technique was complicated and varied, dazzling and filled with extreme precision.

At times, the sound of the zither would be deep and distant, as though time was flowing, causing one to reminisce about the past.

At times, it was like a heavenly sound and ethereal like an immortal.

At times, it was faint and long, as though a fairy was whispering in one’s ears.

At times, it would be dignified and solemn, like a gigantic bell.

After a long time, a song ended and lingered. The immortals and monks were still immersed in it and could not snap out of their stupor for a long time.

Even Jun Yu nodded to herself.

Although she despised certain behaviors of Meng Yao, she could not help but admit that the latter was indeed outstanding in terms of the Zither Dao.

She was truly worthy of the t.i.tle of the Zither Immortal.

Qin Ce clapped and praised, “I’ve long heard that the Zither Immortal’s songs are untainted by the mortal world and comparable to heavenly music and the lingering sound can even reside in one’s mind for three days continuously. Now that I’m hearing it for myself today, you’re truly worthy of your reputation!”

“You’re too kind, Fellow Daoist.”

Meng Yao smiled gently.

“Amitabha.”

s.h.i.+ Wunian murmured softly, “Patron, the sound of your zither is moving.

Impressive, impressive.”

Many immortals and monks stirred awake and praised.

Although Meng Yao looked humble and calm, she was extremely smug internally.

After the song, Meng Yao instantly became the center of everyone’s attention.

Fairy Luo Hua’s immortal tea had already been forgotten by the immortals and monks.

Although Fairy Luo Hua was indignant, she did not dare to express it and could only sit back down.

When Yun Zhu saw that, she smiled indifferently and was not surprised.

She was in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain with Meng Yao and was also a princess of an Immortal Kingdom. They had long known each other and she knew more about Meng Yao.

No matter where Meng Yao went, she had a way of being the center of attraction to steal the limelight.

Apart from Yun Zhu, MO Qing was also unaffected by Meng Yao’s zither.

Yun Zhu looked at the quiet MO Qing beside her and smiled.

MO Qing seemed to have a way of immersing herself in her own world and no one could affect her.

Beneath the Builder Tree, the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings were high and above. The paragons were gathered in a heroic manner and conversed about the world. There were even fairies all around with the soothing sound of the zither—it was a scene that one would yearn for enviously.

Yun Mubai, Rank 6 of the Perfected Immortal Ranking, praised, “In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Meng Yao is not only the Zither Immortal of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, but also the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the entire Heavenly World!”

“That’s right.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua nodded and said as well, “Even compared to ancient masters of the Zither Dao, Fellow Daoist Meng Yao is not inferior and even surpa.s.ses them!”

Rank 2 of the Arhat Ranking, Wu Gouni, suddenly said, “I heard that a Zither Fiend has appeared in the Fiend Domain as well in this generation. She is said to be rather accomplished in the Zither Dao as well.”

At the mention of the Zither Fiend, the smile on Meng Yao’s face clearly froze.

But soon, she returned to normal. “I know a little about this Zither Fiend. She was originally from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”

“In a ruin, she stole an ancient zither that I took a liking to and escaped to the Fiend Domain without returning since.”

Qin Ce raised his brow slightly and asked, “What Zither Fiend? Why haven’t I heard of her before?”

“It’s just a n.o.body.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua smiled faintly. “I heard that she’s just a Heaven Immortal. She’s not worth mentioning and Fellow Daoist Meng Yao is on a completely different level from her.”

Qin Ce sneered, “A Heaven Immortal is worthy of being called the Zither Fiend?

Seems like the Fiend Domain is truly lacking in talents!”

Suddenly, Lin Lei said, “I heard that the Zither Fiend’s cultivation isn’t weak.

With her Dao companion, she’s one of the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals of Tianhuang Sect.”

Tianhuang Sect!

The hearts of the cultivators skipped a beat when they heard that.

Apart from Emperor Bo Xun and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse, the most notorious ent.i.ty in the Fiend Domain in recent years was Tianhuang Sect.

It wasn’t because Tianhuang Sect was strong, but because the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect was truly terrifying!

The Supreme Perfected Fiend, Desolate Martial!

Zhuo Wuchen pouted his lips slightly. “The so-called Seven Emotions Fiend Generals are nothing to fear. Apart from Feng Cantian who is a Fiend King, the rest of them are merely Heaven Immortals.”

“On the other hand, I heard that the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect, Perfected

Fiend Desolate Martial, is rather capable. He caused a huge ruckus at the Immortal Peach Banquet in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain and killed thousands of Perfected Immortals as well as the City Lords of the five immortal cities!”

Fairy Jia Lan suddenly asked, “I heard that when this person underwent

Tribulation Transcendence, he attracted the Tenth Perfected One Heavenly Tribulation. I wonder if it’s true.’

“Haha!”

Qin Ce burst into laughter. “Those rumors were merely created by a bunch of ruffians from the Fiend Domain trying to boost his reputation. Who would believe them?”

“Even the Great Emperors in history only attracted the Nine of Nine Heavenly

Tribulation. How is Desolate Martial qualified to attract the Tenth Heavenly

Tribulation?”

“Exactly. ”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua nodded as well and glanced at MO Qing who was not far away. “See, junior sister. I’ve long told you that this matter is way too ridiculous and can’t be true.”

“I believe it’s true.”

MO Qing did not argue with him and merely replied indifferently.

Lin Lei said in a deep voice, “Regardless of whether the Tenth Heavenly

Tribulation is real or fake, Desolate Martial’s methods are indeed terrifying! Back then, I witnessed with my own eyes how the five City Lords of the immortal cities could not withstand a single blow from him.”

When they heard that, the expressions of the paragons on the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings darkened.

The City Lords of the immortal cities were all experts with a chance of fighting for the Perfected Immortal Ranking.

When Lin Lei said that the five City Lords could not withstand a single blow from Desolate Martial, wasn’t he implying that they could not withstand a single blow either?

“Hmnh!”

Qin Ce harrumphed coldly and mocked, “That’s someone from the lower worlds for you. A coward who is easily intimidated by others!”

“What did you say?!”

Lin Lei questioned loudly with a furious gaze.

s.h.i.+ Wunian smiled gently. “Desolate Martial is the Supreme Perfected Fiend but our two domains also have our Supreme Perfected Immortal and Supreme Arhat. Patron Lin Lei, why do you have to raise the reputation of others at the cost of ours?”

In the battle of the Fiend Cave, all the news pointed to Fiend Emperor

Apocalypse and almost no one paid attention to Desolate Martial’s existence.

None of the cultivators knew that Desolate Martial was present at that time and even killed a few Immortal Kings in the Fiend Cave!

Jun Yu glanced in the direction of the Fiend Domain and said slowly, “No matter what, Desolate Martial is a powerful and terrifying opponent. If there’s a chance, I want to fight him to see who’s stronger!”

Jun Yu loved to fight by nature and had just obtained the t.i.tle of the Supreme Perfected Immortal.

There were not many cultivators who were qualified to be her opponent. As the Supreme Perfected Fiend, Desolate Martial was one of them.

Qin Ce sneered and stood up, pointing in the direction of the Fiend Domain as he shouted, “If Desolate Martial dares to step foot into the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, I’ll kill him singlehandedly without you guys even making a move!”

“Supreme Perfected Fiend? Tenth Tribulation? In front of me, he’ll be the one who won’t be able to withstand a single blow!”

“Is that so?”

Right then, a voice sounded from the depths of the Fiend Domain..
