Zither Emperor Chapter 249 Chapter 72 Divine Music Halo Part 3

249: Chapter 72 Divine Music Halo (Part 3) 249: Chapter 72 Divine Music Halo (Part 3) Dis treaded carefully not to disturb Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang’s performance, secretly wishing that the Zither Emperor could always stay with Emperor Zi.

With the latter’s magical music, he might have a chance to evolve again.

He just didn’t know what shape the Golden Behemoth would take after evolution.

As Ye Yinzhu became more adept at controlling the Divine Music Halo, using it as naturally as his own limbs, the Magic Power they gained from the ensemble was even greater than what they spent to maintain the halo.

Their rendition of “Xiaoxiang Water Cloud” pletely turned the tide, bringing everyone to their optimal state.

Finally, after about half an hour, they emerged from the thick fog and found themselves facing a vast ice forest, a forest made of ice pillars.

These pillars seemed almost man-made, each one towering and upright, with the tallest even surpassing one hundred meters.

The stout ice pillars, under the sunlight, refracted a dazzling halo of light.

Zi Shen said, “Everyone be careful, we might have entered the core of the Ice Ring.”

There was enough space between the ice pillars for even the massive body of the Golden Behemoth to pass through easily.

Moving forward, everyone felt a curious warmth despite the thick ice covering the ground and the towering ice pillars around them.

The temperature was oddly higher, even above the freezing point.

Yet, why wasn’t the ice melting?

The gaps between the ice pillars became sparser the further they walked.

The solid ice around them stayed unchanged, but the temperature kept rising.

Although the Divine Music Halo helped alleviate some unseen pressure, the peculiar change in temperature still made everyone’s hearts tense up again.

Ma Liang quietly took out his Six Silver Dragon Weapons, his Mana reaching the equivalent of a Beginner Green rank.

Confident that he could summon the Silver Dragon and unleash a substantial attack with these bined weapons, he knew that they weren’t just six parts of a dragon’s body but artifacts from the Hua Sect, reformed through special refinement.

Chang Hao now held a Magic Wand in his hand, which was even taller than him, its entire length silver-white.

At its top, a large hand-shaped figure held a sparkling gemstone.

Sura activated the Eternal Substitute Puppet she wore, standing on Dis’s shoulder to carefully observe their surroundings.

She held Angel’s Sigh in her reverse grip, ready to adapt to any changes.

However, the group’s vigilance seemed fruitless, as they passed through the ice pillars without encountering any danger or detecting any hint of life.

Beyond the ice pillars lay a vast ice plain—empty and seemingly boundless.

Their gaze reached far, but they found nothing.

The group stood befuddled.

What was happening?

Was their prior sensation pletely illusory?

Or were there really no Magical Beasts here?

Ye Yinzhu and Haiyang simultaneously stopped playing.

The moment the Divine Music Halo disappeared, everyone swayed, a tangible immense pressure suddenly making it hard for them to breathe.

The pressure persisted, even more intense than before, overwhelming even the weakest among them, the Crimson Spirit, who was shaken so much by the unseen force that she collapsed to the ground, paralyzed.

Humans, after all, weren’t Magical Beasts, and thus they adapted to this pressure somewhat better.

Ye Yinzhu jumped down from Dis’s shoulder and gestured, “Listen.”

All eyes fell on him with confusion.

Zi asked, “Listen to what?”

Ye Yinzhu waved his hands at Zi and then pressed his ear against the ice with a grave expression.

Among them, even if his strength wasn’t outstanding, his hearing was unparalleled.

Trained from a young age by a Divine Music Master, he could pick up on the faintest of sounds.

After a while, Ye Yinzhu stood up and said, “It’s the sound of water.

There’s water underneath this ice, but not here, it’s ahead.” As he spoke, he raised his hand, pointing toward the endless expanse of white in front of them.

Understanding dawned in Zi’s eyes as an idea struck him, “I get it now.

Perhaps we have crossed the entire Continent, arriving at the very northern edge of the land.

Yinzhu, what you heard must be the sound of the sea—beyond the Northmost Wilderness of the Ryuzakinus Continent lies the ocean.

Maybe due to the extreme cold near the land, the sea’s surface has frozen over, and what you’ve heard is the movement of water beneath the ice outside the Continent.”

Zi’s explanation seemed reasonable, and the group nodded in agreement.

The sea—they had reached the sea, but their intended target had yet to appear.

Zi’s gaze grew contemplative, and so did Ye Yinzhu’s.

Could they have missed something along the way?

Yet, what about the enormous pressure around them?

Zi didn’t understand, and neither did Ye Yinzhu.

After a long moment of hesitation, Zi suddenly said, “Let’s go, Yinzhu.”

Ye Yinzhu blinked, “Go?

Aren’t we going to keep looking?”

Zi shook his head and said, “Maybe I’m too greedy.

Finding the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect this time is already the biggest help to me.

We shouldn’t have taken the risk to e here in the first place; it was all because I was too aggressive.

Let’s go back.

Once we bee stronger, there will be opportunities to e here and search again.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and replied, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zi didn’t insist on continuing the search, and he also felt relieved.

After all, the pressure of this place gave him an ominous premonition, and leaving quickly was naturally the best.

The best method to leave was to use the Teleportation Crystal, which could directly transport them to the cave not far from the Northernmost Wilderness Boundary where Zi stayed.

Then, it would be much easier to travel to Qin City.

Summoning his Amethyst Sphere from his Space Ring, Ye Yinzhu was about to teleport when he hesitated.

Although his mana had improved a lot, he knew that with his current strength, it was unrealistic to teleport more than a dozen people, including five rank Nine Beasts, in one go, “We must leave in two trips.”

Zi looked at the Crystal Ball in Yin Zhu’s hand and nodded, “No problem, you take Milan’s group first and bring Red Spirit with you.

Then e back for us.

An Qi, you go with Yin Zhu and the others first.”

An Qi tightly grasped Zi’s hand and shook her head vigorously, “No, I won’t leave.

I want to stay with Brother Zi.” She suddenly became somewhat strange, losing her usual liveliness, and her expression seemed panicked.

Everyone thought she was affected by the great pressure here, so no one paid it much attention.

Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I can teleport about eight people at a time.

For those with large bodies like Dis, it might even be fewer.

Two trips should be enough for all of us.

In the first group, I will take Sura, Haiyang, Chang Hao, Ma Liang, and Dis first.

I’ll e back for you afterwards.

By saving some magic power on the first trip, I can e back for you guys quicker.

I need to draw a Magic Formation here first to facilitate the second teleport.”

Zi gave the signal, “Okay, everyone, form a circle and protect Yin Zhu while he draws the formation.”

When the Ape One brothers heard they could leave, they were already impatient, hurriedly surrounding the area and waiting quietly, each with an eager expression, desperate to leave this place.

Everyone formed a ring around Ye Yinzhu, enclosing him in the middle.

This was not the first time drawing a formation.

Ye Yinzhu did it much more skillfully than before.

With a wave of his right hand, the Sword of Nox quietly appeared and, under the effect of Zhu Douqi, drew a streak of sword energy, rapidly etching on the icy ground beneath his feet.

With his right hand etching the Array, and his left releasing mana from the Amethyst Sphere, he could save a significant amount of spiritual power by using his Douqi as an aid.

Just as Ye Yinzhu had etched one-third of the formation, the ground suddenly shook violently.

He stumbled, but fortunately, he reacted in time to avoid drawing the Array incorrectly.

“What’s happening?” Everyone’s breath tightened with tension.

Boom— A loud bang resounded.

This time, it felt even more intense than before.

The ground beneath them seemed to tilt slightly amidst the violent shaking.

Even the massive bodies of Dis and Perkins couldn’t help but sway.

Boom— Boom— Boom—

Crack, a massive ice fissure appeared not far from everyone, and at the epicenter of that fissure, the ice surface, which thickness was unknown, began to crack like a web.

A deep, gruff voice came from every direction, “Who dares to awaken the great Glacis?

It’s been a long time since I tasted terrestrial flesh.

Seems there are those seeking death.

Hahahaha…”

Everyone swore it was the first time they had heard such a terrifying laugh.

With each laugh, the web-like cracks on the ground widened by several times.

Great puffs of ice dust erupted violently upwards, shooting into the sky, countless ice flakes scattering.

The previous warmth was abruptly replaced by an extreme cold, causing everyone to shiver.

Sura was the quickest to react, “Retreat quickly.

It seems like a very powerful creature.

Let’s pull back to the ice forest first.

Having cover, it’s easier to defend.”

Zi exchanged a glance with Ye Yinzhu, waved his hand, and they all started running towards the ice forest, with the Mage still on the shoulders of the Golden Behemoth.

Boom— With a thunderous noise, countless shards of shattered ice soared into the air, scattering in all directions as if a giant ice ball had suddenly exploded.

The sound of the blast was harrowing, with every piece of ice shooting out like arrows, covering an area of thousands of square meters.
