CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 544: MILLENNIUM CHESS GAME_1

"Excellent! The Laws of Heaven and Earth have greatly changed; it’s time for the Clan Leader to break through!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Quickly set up the Grand Clan Protection Formation! We mustn’t let anyone disrupt the Clan Leader’s breakthrough!"

In the Realm Beyond, within the Immortality Mountain domain, atop a certain Male Mountain, an old man sat cross-legged. His hands were clasped, and the faint power of destiny was wrapped around him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes fiercely, a radiant light shining within them as he looked down at the ground. His expression changed drastically, and then he shouted in surprise and joy.

To ordinary people, this might just be Yinglong breaking into the Semi-Immortal Realm, his strength significantly increasing.

But in his eyes, he saw deep within the Primordial Continent, the Immortal Dao Laws that had slept for nine eras quietly awakening, suppressing the three thousand Emperor Dao Laws.

The awakening of the Immortal Dao Laws signified a chance to break through to the Semi-Immortal Realm!

BOOM!

Countless terrifying figures hovered in the air, their hands forming seals as they conjured a dazzling curtain of light that covered the entire Realm Beyond, forming a super defensive Formation.

This was the first time in nine eras that the Primordial Continent had come into contact with the power of the Immortal Realm!

Both the Eternal Temple and Immortality Mountain were extremely cautious!

***

"Gui Guzi, face your death!"

Yinglong, now imbued with the power of a Demi Immortal, became exceedingly arrogant, his confidence soaring. With a thought, he conjured two spatial blades, slashing out furiously.

These two spatial blades were completely hidden in the dark Void, showing no trace of their presence.

Only a faint aura of the Immortal Dao Laws was visible, entwining the Void, causing all the experts of the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court to shudder, their hair standing on end.

This feeling is like being strangled by the Grim Reaper!

"If you were a true Demi Immortal expert, I might still fear you somewhat!" Gui Guzi said calmly.

A true Demi Immortal not only masters the Immortal Dao Laws but must also pass Heavenly Tribulation, forging their body with endless tribulation force to transform their imperial body into a Demi Immortal Body.

"The world is but one chessboard!" Gui Guzi waved his hand. The Exquisite Chessboard glowed brightly and merged with the Void, becoming boundless and infinite, as if it could encapsulate the entire world.

A game of chess, how can it be without pieces?

"The teachings of the Hundred Schools!" Gui Guzi waved his hand again. His eyes shone brightly, filled with numerous profound concepts: there was the power of political strategy, the power of Confucianism, the power of Legalism, the power of Daoism...

In the next moment, these powers representing the Hundred Schools of Thought transformed into black chess pieces, landing on the Exquisite Chessboard.

With every piece that landed, Gui Guzi’s power grew stronger!

When all the pieces had fallen, his strength had already reached the peak of the Great Emperor Realm, sweeping across all eight directions. The terrifying might shook the Void.

"Is that all?" Yinglong scoffed.

No matter how powerful imperial realm power is, it cannot overcome immortal realm power. A Demi Immortal attacking a Mixed Yuan Great Emperor martial artist is a dimensional subjugation. No matter how strong a Mixed Yuan Great Emperor martial artist is, they are still within the bounds of imperial power! Whereas even the weakest Demi Immortal martial artist controls immortal power! These are two different tiers of power! The chasm between immortal and mortal!

"Is that so?" Gui Guzi smiled faintly, showing no sign of worry.

Behind him, the formidable generals of the Great Qin swiftly changed positions, forming a profound Formation.

Terrifying auras burst from their bodies, condensed into white chess pieces, and landed on the Exquisite Chessboard, forming a complete game.

If any chess masters had been present, they would have been utterly captivated, unable to extricate themselves!

This was an eternal chess formation!

Unbreakable by anyone!

Countless beams of black and white light pierced the sky, and the power of innumerable laws manifested, coalescing into a world-ordering force.

Gui Guzi’s strength once again took a qualitative leap, directly surpassing the limits of imperial laws and condensing the power of the Immortal Dao Laws, reaching an utterly terrifying level.

Two chess pieces, one black and one white, tore through the sky, colliding with the spatial blades!

The sky collapsed instantly, two black holes appearing.

The terrifying aftershocks spread, sweeping across heaven and earth in all directions, destroying all in their path.

"This..." Yinglong retreated two steps, his expression changing drastically.

He looked Gui Guzi up and down, sensing the genuine power of a Demi Immortal, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

What a terrifying Formation! Why haven’t I seen it before?

"This chess game, I shall leave it to you, fellow Daoist, to break!" Gui Guzi said with a faint smile, his hands clasped behind his back, his black hair dancing wildly. The four stars of the Ghost Abode on his forehead radiated stellar brilliance, drawing forth a mighty power.

Propelled by this mighty force, the boundless Exquisite Chessboard moved to suppress Yinglong.

Each chess piece contained the ultimate attack of a Demi Immortal expert.

"Damn it!" Yinglong’s expression was grave. His dragon mouth gaped open as he roared, "Power of Myriad Beasts, annihilate everything!" He condensed a multi-colored orb of light. It carried the power of various laws, exuding a terrifying aura of world annihilation.

I am a Yao, a peak divine beast! I will slay all enemies!

BOOM!

Two streams of Demi Immortal power viciously collided.

The terrifying shockwave spread, vast and mighty, piercing through the Changkong and causing the sky of the Middle Region to completely collapse.

Black and white chess pieces exploded one after another, like countless Demi Immortal martial artists self-destructing, generating ferocious power that continuously weakened the light orb.

After a dozen or so chess pieces exploded, the light orb Yinglong had unleashed dissipated into nothing!

"Damn it!" Yinglong was sent flying, his eyes fixed intently on the Exquisite Chessboard. "Such formidable power!"

He had a premonition that if he could just solve this chess game, he could easily neutralize Gui Guzi’s attack.

But this is an eternal chess formation that has baffled countless chess grandmasters! How could an amateur like me possibly break it?

A single glance made Yinglong feel as if he were falling into an endless darkness, a space filled with profound power where illusion and reality, truth and falsehood, were intertwined.

"Not good!"

However, as a peak expert of the continent, Yinglong quickly realized his dire situation. He bit his tongue hard. Blood filled his mouth, and the sharp pain allowed him to break free from the chess formation’s influence.

He looked at the Exquisite Chessboard, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

That was too close! I was almost trapped in that chess formation! I know I can’t possibly break this chess formation. If I get trapped, my soul will be exhausted, and I’ll be utterly destroyed! Now, there’s only one way! I have to shatter this Exquisite Chessboard with brute force!

"Myriad Beasts Golden Body!" Yinglong threw back his head and roared, unleashing a world-shaking dragon’s cry. His thousand-zhang dragon body instantly swelled to a colossal ninety-thousand zhang, his entire form blazing with golden light as he rammed towards the Exquisite Chessboard.

Boundless Power of Laws coalesced around him!

Myriad Beasts Crash the Heavens!

The peerless power completely shattered the Void, sending ripples across the Nine Heavens and producing a dull, resounding boom, as if the very heavens trembled in fear.

BANG!

Under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, Yinglong’s head slammed fiercely against the Exquisite Chessboard.

CRACK!

His sturdy dragon horn snapped off directly.

Thick Dragon Blood gushed from the stump of his broken horn, forming a crimson waterfall that poured down from the Ninth Heaven.

Yinglong howled incessantly, his massive body smashed down tens of thousands of zhang, crashing into the heartland of the Godly Yao Dao Domain. His tail lashed out, producing an earth-shattering KABOOM.

Shattered rock flew through the air, and rivers were severed!

The dense earth, as fragile as tofu, split open with innumerable chasms.

"Fall back!" Yinglong’s eyes were blood-red as he roared in fury.

My horn... My dragon horn actually broke! This drove him into a maddening fury. The horn is the symbol of the Dragon Clan! Is a dragon without horns still a true dragon?

CRACK!

RUMBLE!

Boundless bestial light erupted from Yinglong, growing even more berserk.

He slammed his dragon tail to the ground, using it as a support, trying to knock away the Exquisite Chessboard.

The tremendous recoil directly shattered the earth veins of the Godly Yao Dao Domain. This Saint-level Dao Domain, spanning millions of li, trembled violently and was displaced.

The entire Godly Yao Dao Domain was rent in two, an immeasurably deep abyss tearing through it from the middle, stretching for a hundred million li.

Dozens of surrounding Dao Domains were affected!

Such a scene struck terror into the hearts of countless people! What terrifying power!
