641 Under the Witness of the Various Kings (1/2)

When Ye Qingxuan's attention returned, he found himself in the Ultimate. Worse still, he had been stripped of all the movements strengthening him, and even his own Symphony of Predestination had been split into three parts.

The city of ruins that was so huge and complex that it felt dizzying seemed to be shrouded in some deeper power, stripping everything that did not belong to the musicians in it off them. Although the items were still in his hands, they were no longer part of him.

He had been forced back into his original state.

Ye Qingxuan gave a bitter smile and looked around at his desolate surroundings, sighing softly. ”What's this? Another trial with weird rules?”

A gust of wind blew silently. Strange words emerged from the dust beneath his feet, lasted for a fleeting instant, and disappeared out of sight again. It was written using letters that circulated among humans towards the end of the Age of Dark, the oldest existing characters that humans could trace back to.

Runes.

Only when such incidents occurred would Ye Qingxuan feel that studying widely was indeed useful. He lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, stared at the traces left on the ground, and deciphered the meaning within. ”Under the witness of the various kings?”

Under the witness of the various kings.

The sentence was without rhyme or reason, and simply sounded confusing, but it seemed to suffice in explaining the situation for the moment. A few moments ago, he even saw the traces left by the various kings who had originally established the kingdoms, the three kings of the first generation, and the Three Wise Men.

Ye Qingxuan had a hazy notion but did not fully understand what it meant.

Undoubtedly, the tenacities of the various kings who originally established the kingdoms, the ones who laid down the foundation for human order, still remain here. Even though they already died a long time ago, the decrees they left still remain in the core of the Ultimate.

In other words, this is a test that the various kings who originally established the kingdoms set up for those after them?

It makes sense If you put it that way. After the Holy Cauldron that once established order, as well as the throne of God, was taken away, the Originator should have originally appeared once more after several epochs.

They would certainly leave corresponding countermeasures after having foreseen the situation that would originally happen. After all, they wouldn't just let any random person that entered take away the elements and legacies within. The trial would also have certain conditions and rules…

Participating in the trial with one's most innate and truest appearance must certainly be one of the prerequisites then. After all, who would be willing to hand over the power of the future to those who dare not show themselves openly?

The fact that giant ships and main batteries would get one nowhere here made Ye Qingxuan relieved, but at the same time, he felt somewhat complicated. On one hand, Anglo need not fight tooth and claw against the other countries, nor wear down its strength. But after realizing that he himself was the one that had to fight tooth and claw, the incident didn't exactly leave a good taste in his mouth.

Moreover, most of the music theory I have at hand is frozen, and I have dropped to the Level of Distortion. In the site of ruins that one can only enter via the resonance of one's Symphony of Predestination, being a master is the most basic condition. I'm afraid that musicians of the Level of Distortion can be considered as the weakest here?

Ye Qingxuan sighed and tried to forcibly communicate with the music theory.

The stone of sage in his heart beat wildly. Countless strands of music theory unfolded and forcibly connected themselves to Ye Qingxuan's music theory, disregarding the huge repulsive force. The power gathered, but the external pressure became stronger and stronger…

It was as if he had fallen into the deep sea. The greater the borrowed power, the more alarming the pressure he was under. Moreover, he didn't know what other measures specifically directed towards such actions were awaiting him, or whether they existed at all. Ye Qingxuan dared not try any further and had to stop.

The equipment could probably only be used as a backup.

At the moment, he could only be thankful that he was not wearing the clothes of original sin. Otherwise, the clothes of original sin would be gone, and he could only run around naked…

After contemplating for a moment, he finally decided on a tentative plan. ”So, I'll keep a low profile first and meet up with Mabel.”

Clang! Right after he took a step forward, he heard a crisp sound, and something fell onto the ground from his clothes. Ye Qingxuan looked down and saw a section of a black branch that resembled iron and wood by his feet. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. ”After such a long time, I have forgotten that... I still have this thing?”

Poisonous Black Branch.

A few months ago, in the Sacred City, the enraged Abyss Black Branch, Menti, threw one of his only three Poisonous Black Branches at Ye Qingxuan. However, not only did it fail to kill Ye Qingxuan in the end, it was instead sealed by Ye Qingxuan with nature interference and was suppressed within his Symphony of Predestination. Since then, the product of centuries' worth of hard work that Menti had put in became Ye Qingxuan's possession.

It was powerful enough that Gaius could kill the King of Red by stabbing the latter with it in hand. Ye Qingxuan had originally planned to do the same to Arthur, but in the end, he had no use for it at all. If it wasn't for the power of the Ultimate, Ye Qingxuan would have forgotten that he still had such a deadly, awesome item on him.

After Ye Qingxuan was done keeping it, he immediately sensed that the aether waves in the entire city had suddenly begun to fluctuate violently.

Among the hundreds of aether waves, almost half of them had begun to soar in intensity, pulsing rapidly with a fierce tempo.

A fight has been set off? And it's a chaotic and unprecedentedly large-scale one at that…

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, as he had not expected the situation to evolve so quickly.

Without waiting for him to react some more, an aether wave moved towards Ye Qingxuan.

When the musician, who was of the Level of Master and whose entire body had been tempered, emerged from the wall he broke and saw Ye Qingxuan, he was momentarily stunned at first, then his eyes immediately lit up with the joy of surprise.

The Level of Distortion? I have never expected that he would be so weak!
