She touched the space between her eyebrows. It felt as if there was a scorching flame burning.

Her heart was beating fast, and the blood around her was surging. This is… my totem?!

Chu Liuyue actually knew that this thing existed long ago, but the few times it appeared were basically when her life was in danger, so she hadn’t been able to take care of it.

But now, this totem suddenly appeared again, and it was so obvious!

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Force began to gather toward her swiftly. Her aura also began to rise rapidly!

Bzzt! Bzzt!

Chu Liuyue looked up.

In the sky, the void distorted and collapsed one after another, and vortices continuously appeared.

There were already large pieces of stones piled up by her feet.

An incomparably domineering power erupted, creating an extremely terrifying pressure that was almost suffocating.

Lu Feng sat down with his hand on his chest, coughing a few times before wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, he placed his hands on his knees and began to draw the surrounding power into his body.

Under such great pressure, the best way to deal with it was to cultivate.

Seeing this, Qi Han’s expression stabilized. He held his sword in front of him and began to cultivate as well.

At this moment, endless energy surged over from all directions. Most of it entered the collapsed void, which indirectly increased the power of the stones by Chu Liuyue’s feet.

The remaining small portion dissipated and was swallowed by Lu Feng and Qi Han.

Even though the two of them only occupied a small portion of the energy that surged into the void, this was definitely an extremely vast and majestic level for a true god.

A faint blue light overflowed from Lu Feng’s body and quickly enveloped him—this was his God Realm.

After the surrounding violent energy entered this God Realm, it became even purer after tempering. Without a doubt, this way, Lu Feng’s cultivation speed increased greatly.

Qi Han, who was beside him, made the same choice almost at the same time.

A faint silver light spread out silently and enveloped Qi Han.

Rong Xiu’s gaze turned slightly and stopped on the two of them for a moment. His eyes were deep but calm.

In just a moment, he turned his gaze away.

In fact, if other cultivators were here at this moment and saw the situation of Lu Feng and Qi Han, they would definitely be shocked. This was because these two people were only true gods now.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for their God Realm to resist the power of such a terrifying legendary warrior around them! In fact, it was impossible for a God Realm to be used in this situation!

But from beginning to end, their series of actions were smooth and natural as if they weren’t hindered at all.

If Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look now, she might also sense that something was wrong. However, all her energy was already focused on the countless collapsing voids and constantly gathering stones, so how could she care about anything else?

One after another.

As more and more stones approached, the invisible connection between her and the surrounding void vortices became closer and closer. At the same time, a desolate sorrow welled up in her heart.

Chu Liuyue was never a sentimental person, but as she stood here—as time slowly passed and everything around her changed—her mental state seemed to move uncontrollably.

Wind blew over, carrying the rough sand on the desolate field. When it brushed past her face, it brought a slight pain.

The bloody smell in the air seemed to have become stronger.

The solemn and bleak sound of the zither sounded from her body and spread far and wide!

There seemed to be an image appearing in her mind, but it wasn’t very clear.

Chu Liuyue almost subconsciously raised her hand.

Her eyes were focused, but it was as if she had fallen into a void. At this moment, countless stars seemed to have dissipated in the depths of her obsidian-like eyes!

Then, her slender and fair fingertips moved gently.

Shing!

With no strings in her hands, she played the zither with the help of these countless intersecting spaces!

Clang! Clang!

On the field, there were many broken tombstones.

Deep inside, there seemed to be a zither sound that corresponded to her from afar!



Fantasy Divine Hall.

Jiu Long and Xi Yan returned here as quickly as possible.

After stepping into the Fantasy Divine Hall, the two of them couldn’t care less and rushed to the First Deity’s residence.

As soon as they arrived outside the courtyard and stood still, the door of the courtyard opened.

Seeing this scene, Jiu Long and Xi Yan looked at each other and saw the worry and nervousness in each other’s eyes.

The First Deity clearly already knew something! This made the two of them feel timid, and they didn’t dare to take this step for a moment.

“Come in and talk.” A low and indifferent voice came from inside.

The two of them didn’t dare to refuse and walked in tensely.

Just like last time, they stopped five steps away from the door.

After bowing respectfully with cupped fists, Jiu Long deliberated before saying, “First Deity, this time… the two of us were incompetent and didn’t manage to successfully bring the music score back. Please punish us, First Deity!”

“Reason?” The voice was calm and unsurprised.

“Well…” Jiu Long wiped the sweat from his forehead.

On the other hand, Xi Yan couldn’t help but explain, “Reporting to the First Deity, we returned in failure this time because the Emperor also went to the God-Killing Tumulus. Moreover, there was… Shangguan Yue who went with him.”

“Perhaps because Shangguan Yue is the master of the previous two music scores, but the Emperor intends to hand this matter to her. Although we don’t know why the Emperor suddenly interfered in this matter, we really didn’t dare to disobey the Emperor’s orders, so we came back. However, the Emperor agreed to send the music score to Fantasy Divine Hall after this matter is over.”

Jiu Long gritted his teeth and added, “In addition, the two of us have already been ordered to go to the Fantasy Divine Sea to receive our punishment for unintentionally offending the Emperor. Without the Emperor’s orders, we aren’t allowed to leave.”

In other words, after coming over to explain things to the First Deity, the two of them would have to go to the Fantasy Divine Sea.

After the two of them finished speaking, the room was silent for a long time.

This strange silence left the two of them at a loss. We don’t seem to have said anything wrong just now, right?

No matter what, they had explained the matter clearly. As long as one thought about it, one could understand that this matter was really not their fault.

Not to mention them, even the First Deity didn’t dare to disobey the Emperor’s orders.

Moreover, the Emperor had already punished the two of them. What else could be considered enough?

Jiu Long and Qiao Nian waited.

“First Deity?”

There was finally a response. “I already know about this. You guys can leave. You should receive your punishment, but you can’t publicize this matter.”

The two of them were stunned. “You mean… the Emperor going to the God-Killing Tumulus?”

The voice paused. “Everything related to the music score has to be kept a secret.”
