Chapter 389 Back-up Plan

Chapter 389 Back-up Plan

If Heaven on Earth could fight back, and he could use all twenty-four Chapters of Golden Victory, Ye Qingxuan would not be so powerless. But he just could not do anything!

This was the scepter left behind by King Arthur! Combining all twenty-four Chapters, aided by Avalon's enchantment, the Heaven on Earth from the golden age was created. When activated, the entirety of Anglo was needed to activate Avalon's enchantment and supply energy for Heaven on Earth. The Royal Musician Division was needed to help with the music theory changes.

This was undoubtedly a supersized war machine.

He did not have a higher level of resonance, the strength to move the aether sea or any other aid… As a mere official musician, it was already a miracle for Ye Qingxuan to cast a miniature Heaven on Earth with help from Avalon's enchantment's music theory. But it was okay. He could resonate now!

Despair flashed past his eyes and he tossed Heaven on Earth to the side. Moonlight threads extended from Jiu Xiao Huan Pei to the Sword. Coherence began! As if riding a wild wind onto the instrument, his mind broke through the shackles of reality and rushed into the aether world.

This time, he used the Sword's power to find the source.

He instantly jumped past the once-long path and forged along his musician road deep into the aether world. He moved past the strong temptation of Avalon's Shadow, brushed past the attraction of the abyss, left the radiance of the holy city, avoided the wall of the East, and moved in deeper.

He moved toward the scepter that the Ye family had left behind in the aether world. In a moment, the silent world was before his eyes. Ye Qingxuan was alone with a light amongst the countless tombstones.

"You're here!" Laughing, he urged the Sword and rushed into it. With the Sword's help, he already sensed that this was the source he needed to anchor in!

A whimsical dot swam in the nine levels of the aether sea created by countless music theories. To describe it, it was not a solid object but a gap… It was a gap that kept moving, created by the changing music theories.

It was just like how a tiny gap would appear as the countless gears of a complex machine spun; there was always a small dim spot as the stars turned… It was part of the whole yet also separate from the whole.

The Ye family's scepter relied on that spot. Generations of Ye musicians had put in everything to create this hereditary scepter and captured that source. It was like a giant star pulling a meteorite to become its satellite.

After that, the source dot began to revolve around the scepter and exchange radiance with it. It was only complete if both were combined. Without either part, it could not be whole.

The moment Ye Qingxuan found the spot, he heard Paganini's furious huff.

Under the Garment of Original Sin, how could Paganini not sense what Ye Qingxuan was doing? When he used his music theory's fragmented feedback to discover the kid neglected Heaven on Earth to forcefully enter resonance, he burst into anger.

In a duel, a desperate attempt at a breakthrough was hope for the weaker side. But to the enemy, it was pure humiliation!

"You want to enter the Resonance level before me?" Paganini raised his dark eyes. "Where did you get that confidence?!"

The melody instantly rose and screamed from the Garment. Behind him, the abyss's shadow rose as well while its coordinate in the aether world sank. The huge attractive pull created a vortex in the aether sea.

Pounding streams covered hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. The equilibrium of the aether sea's music theory was shattered, transforming into furious waves.

Paganini had used one action to adjust the abyss's territory, forcefully stirring the aether sea into turbidity. Gales of wind blew, blocking any paths.

Ye Qingxuan's consciousness was instantly swept by the wild tides and was almost lost in the aether sea. Thankfully, the Sword's light pulled him back into Heaven on Earth. In the cracked territory, Ye Qingxuan's pallor was pale and the halo above his head was dim.

"Didn't know you could do this. So impressive!" Wiping away the blood from his mouth and nose, he asked quietly, "But even for you, it must be tiring to influence the aether sea like this, right?"

There was no fear or panic in his voice. It was as if he had predicted this long ago and everything was in control. He did not look menacing with blood flowing from his nose and mouth. Instead, he smiled brightly.

Paganini frowned. "What are you thinking of now?"

"At any time," Ye Qingxuan held up two fingers, "you must have a back-up plan, even if you prepared everything and every segment seems flawless. This is something I learned recently from a certain b*stard." With that, he slowly raised the Sword. Spinning it around, the blade was reversed and aimed at his heart. As Paganini looked on in confusion, he brought the sword down!

Ye Qingxuan screamed in immense pain. Inside the Heaven on Earth, the Sword dug into his heart and came out from behind his back. He had stabbed through his sub-originator! The two were finally one!

Like melting gold, bubbling gold color flowed in all directions from the beating sub-originator, invading Ye Qingxuan's flesh. In a moment, Ye Qingxuan's body was about to evaporate under the immense strength.

Paganini gaped. The youth…stabbed himself? What was he trying to do?

Seeing his shock, Ye Qingxuan grinned through the pain. He was not crazy, of course. He stabbed himself because of the relationship between the sub-originator and the Sword. For the time being, before the sub-originator broke down, he would not be destroyed by this power. He just wanted to get rid of something in his body that did not belong to him. It was something in his brain that had accompanied him all these years… The seal!

In an instant, the blade melted into his blood. The radiant light coursed with his blood through his body until, in Ye Qingxuan's mind, a vague sword appeared and came down on him.

Crack. It was the sound of shackles shattering, stone crashing, and an instrument playing. Deep inside Ye Qingxuan, the layers of hints from Ye Lanzhou that restricted him were cut apart by this aggressive sword!

He had broken through the seal! Now, the Deva's blood that had been sealed since birth and the sleeping talent was finally awakened!
