Thirty-sixth floor, the deepest part of the Monster God Temple.
In terms of architectural style, the thirty-sixth floor maintained the same style and was not much different from the other palaces.
The most obvious difference was that there were no palaces on the thirty-sixth floor. There was only one main hall. Although the thirty-sixth floor was the smallest, the main hall without any partitions made this place abnormally spacious and spacious.
The dome was a few hundred zhang high, and it was inlaid with 360 azure octagonal stars. They shone with azure starlight, intertwining and drifting. The main hall was like the ocean under the sun, bright blue and beautiful like a dream.
Jade Heart Fox followed Gao Zhengyang into the main hall. At first glance, she could not see the end of the hall. She could only faintly see a pile of tall statues in the center of the hall.
When she got closer, she could see that the deep blue statues were hundreds of zhang high. Their surfaces were smooth and exquisite, like blue porcelain jade. The statues were all in the shape of humans, but they were of different shapes.
Some had three heads and six arms, some had a thousand eyes and a thousand hands, some had ferocious expressions, and some were handsome. The 360 statues all had their own characteristics and obvious differences.
Jade Heart Fox glanced at them briefly and did not dare to look any further. Although the statues were like inanimate objects, the aura they exuded was extremely oppressive. She only took a glance, but she already felt a chill coming from deep within her bones. Her whole body was about to freeze.
She asked Gao Zhengyang in a low voice, "Master, are these the ancient Monster Gods?"
The Sky River Sword Sect had many records of the Monster God Temple. However, the thirty-sixth floor was a taboo and there were no records. Or rather, Jade Heart Fox was not qualified to see the relevant records.
Jade Heart Fox knew nothing about the thirty-sixth floor of the Monster God Temple. She had never thought that she would have the chance to reach this floor.
The teachers of the Sky River Sword Sect had repeatedly warned her not to enter the Monster God Temple below the thirtieth floor. Especially the thirty-sixth floor. Who knew how many geniuses had died there. It was a forbidden ground among forbidden grounds.
"You can say that …" Gao Zhengyang replied casually. He was still very interested in these Monster Gods.
Gao Zhengyang had sharp eyes. He could tell that these statues were formed by pure star power and not the original bodies of the Monster Gods. However, the souls of the Monster Gods were sleeping inside the statues. From this aspect, it was not wrong to call them Demon Immortals.
When these bodies continued to condense and transform into the powerful and indestructible body of the Yao God, the Yao God's divine soul would be completely awakened. At that time, these ancient Yao Immortals would really be resurrected.
The star that was the true origin of the ancient Fey God. The so-called Fey God was merely a projection of the Divine Sense of the star. Therefore, as long as the stars were not destroyed, the ancient Yao Gods could never be destroyed.
From this point of view, this was also a way of balancing the world. It was used to prevent certain lifeforms from becoming too powerful and destroying the foundation of the universe.
To put it simply, the myriad worlds could be seen as the mother body, possessing an incomparably powerful Origin Consciousness. It should be noted that this consciousness could be regarded as some kind of intelligence, but it was not an ordinary life form.
The operation of all the worlds in the universe originated from this consciousness. The sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens, the earth, the mountains, the seas, all of the worlds, all of them revolved according to this will. The embodiment of this consciousness was the omnipresent Law.
The rotation of eras was the most direct manifestation of this consciousness.
This consciousness had only one ultimate goal, and that was to make the Myriad Heavens and Realms better.
Although the Myriad Heavens and Realms were vast, it could still be seen as a mountain or an island in the boundless void. It had its own operating Law and its own energy foundation.
To put it simply, everything was limited. Space was limited, and energy was limited. If too many powerful lifeforms emerged and kept plundering energy, the Myriad Heavens and Realms would collapse.
For example, if all intelligent lifeforms became Divine Kings. The Myriad Heavens and Realms would immediately collapse. This was something the Origin of the Myriad Heavens and Realms would definitely not allow.
The Star Projection Demon Immortals were essentially law enforcers descended from the Origin. They killed all overly powerful lifeforms and races to maintain the basic order of the Myriad Heavens and Realms.
After Gao Zhengyang reached the Divine Level, he returned to the age of seventeen and gained a deeper understanding of the Myriad Heavens and Realms.
Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel, Primordial Compass, Bright Moon Sword Master's sword intent, Heretic God's consciousness, Heavenly Scar Sword, Blood God Flag, Ancient Star God Imprint …
These were the peak powers of the Myriad Heavens and Realms, and they left imprints in Gao Zhengyang's sea of consciousness through various means. These powerful powers collided with each other and sent Gao Zhengyang back to the age of seventeen.
The Blue Planet's Law of Matter was abnormally powerful, and it was outside the Myriad Heavens and Realms. These powerful imprints were eventually digested and absorbed by Gao Zhengyang, allowing him to gain the top-notch knowledge of this world.
After arriving at the thirty-sixth floor of the Demon God Palace, Gao Zhengyang only took two glances to understand the essence of the Demon Gods. This was like the cycle of eras, a manifestation of the Origin's consciousness.
The stronger the obstruction, the more terrifying the counterattack. With the power of a Divine Master, it was very easy for him to defeat the Demon Gods now. However, the defeated Demon Gods would definitely condense again, and they would become even more powerful.
The Demon Gods were very terrifying, but they were also a kind of energy and a kind of resource. One could even comprehend the secrets of the stars through these Demon Gods.
The secrets of the stars were very important to Gao Zhengyang. He had come here this time to see what the Demon Gods were. Since they were useful to him, he would not hold back.
Just as Gao Zhengyang was sizing up the Demon Gods, there was a flash of azure light, and a middle-aged man with azure hair and azure eyes walked out of the void.
The middle-aged man had regular features, and when his azure eyes moved, they were like flowing sword light, giving off an invincible and sharp aura.
When the middle-aged man glanced at Jade Heart Fox, he felt as if his body had been sliced in two by that sharp gaze, and his soul seemed to have been split in two. He was completely stunned, and his mind was blank.
Gao Zhengyang did not care about that slicing gaze at all. He looked straight at the other party and said, "Your sword intent manifestation?"
The azure-eyed man revealed a trace of surprise. The other party had actually seen through his origins at a glance. This ability was impressive. He muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "Who are you?"
"Gao Zhengyang." Gao Zhengyang reported his name.
The azure-eyed man revealed a puzzled expression. "You're not from this world?"
Gao Zhengyang admitted frankly, "That's right. I came here by accident, so I came to take a look."
The azure-eyed man was silent for a moment, and his expression relaxed slightly. "You are also an expert. Forgive me for being ignorant and inexperienced, but I have been disrespectful."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. How should I address you? "
"Just call me Azure Thearch," the azure-eyed man said.
Moon Breeze appeared in Gao Zhengyang's consciousness. She said to Gao Zhengyang, "The other party has some of the aura of the Monster Slayer Sword Master. It should be the sword intent from the Monster Slayer Sword that has developed intelligence."
Moon Breeze's memories were incomplete, and she did not know much about the sword masters of the Taiji Sword Palace. The Monster Slayer Sword Master loved to kill alien races. His murderous nature was second only to the Celestial Slaying Sword Master.
The Monster Slayer Sword Master probably hated demon gods the most, so it was normal for him to leave behind sword intent to seal this place.
Gao Zhengyang felt that Azure Thearch should be the title of the Monster Slayer Sword Master in the Celestial Realm. However, these were all minor details. The key was how to deal with this sword intent clone.
"Sir, the seal here was left behind by the Immortal Masters."
The Azure Thearch seemed to understand Gao Zhengyang's intentions. He reminded him, "My duty is to guard the seal and not let outsiders destroy it."
He paused for a moment and said, "Anyone who destroys the seal will definitely be discovered by the Immortal Masters."
Gao Zhengyang did not seem to understand the threat in the Azure Thearch's voice. He smiled and said, "I am very interested in demon gods."
The Azure Thearch felt a little helpless. He pondered for a moment and said, "I have guarded this place for tens of thousands of years, and my favorite thing is to play chess. Why don't we play a game? If you win, you can do whatever you want to the demon gods. "
"Alright." Gao Zhengyang did not think much and agreed immediately.
The Azure Thearch was secretly delighted. He had studied chess games for tens of thousands of years and believed that his chess skills were the best in the world. Even if the Immortal Masters personally descended, they might not be his match.
The Azure Thearch waved his hand, and a square chessboard appeared between him and Gao Zhengyang. The chessboard was like a chessboard, but the chess pieces were the 36 demon god sculptures. Furthermore, each chess piece was different.
"This is the Star Demon Chess. The chess pieces complement and counter each other, and there are countless variations …"
As the Azure Thearch spoke, he waved his hand and transformed the rules of the Star Demon Chess into a large piece of text that appeared in front of Gao Zhengyang like a light screen.
The rules of the Star Demon Chess were extremely complicated, and there were more than a hundred thousand words written on it. This was because each chess piece had its own unique power and skills, and there was a corresponding way to use them.
"You can play two games by yourself first to experience it …" the Azure Thearch said generously.
Gao Zhengyang did not refuse. This chess game looked a little complicated, so it was better to familiarize himself with it.
The chess pieces did not need to be moved by hand. With a thought, the chess pieces would move according to one's will. When two chess pieces met, the chess pieces would come to life and use their respective secret techniques to determine the victor.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang could also actively control the chess pieces to fight. However, there was not much room for him to control the chess pieces. He could only choose to use fixed Dharma spells or martial arts moves. The choices were very small.
Every chess piece had its own unique power and talent. In order to unleash the chess pieces' greatest power, one had to rely on intelligence, not control techniques.
Gao Zhengyang played two games and won both. This was because the chess pieces on the other side were all passive. He could calmly mobilize his troops to kill the other party.
The Azure Thearch watched from the side and could not help but nod slightly. Gao Zhengyang's intelligence was indeed impressive. In a short period of time, he had already grasped the characteristics of all the chess pieces. He had the bearing of a master when it came to controlling the chess pieces.
Unfortunately, Gao Zhengyang was destined to lose miserably. He had studied chess for tens of thousands of years. How could he lose to Gao Zhengyang?
After playing two games, Gao Zhengyang said confidently, "Alright, let's begin."
The Azure Thearch could not bear to lose. He thought for a moment and said, "Winning like this is not considered a skill. I can let you be a chess piece. "
Gao Zhengyang was about to refuse when the Azure Thearch pointed at Jade Heart Fox. "You can let her enter the chess game."
Jade Heart Fox was a little confused. She did not know what this was about.
Gao Zhengyang thought for a moment and said, "Sure, but I won't take advantage of you. I don't need the other chess pieces. I will use her to win! "
As he spoke, Gao Zhengyang flicked his long sleeves at Jade Heart Fox. Jade Heart Fox's figure suddenly shrank to three or four centimeters tall. Then, she landed on the chessboard like a speck of light.
Jade Heart Fox stood on the chessboard and felt that she was surrounded by faint clouds. She could not see the end. This chessboard seemed to be bigger than the Demon God Temple.
She was flustered and angry. A dignified Golden Core expert had been sent to the chessboard as a chess piece without asking for her opinion at all. The most terrifying thing was that this chessboard was as vast as heaven and earth. Who knew how powerful those chess pieces were?
The panic-stricken Jade Heart Fox stood alone on the huge chessboard, looking extremely weak and helpless.
The Azure Thearch asked in surprise, "Your Excellency, are you serious?"
"Of course."
Gao Zhengyang was full of confidence. "I will definitely not lose."
The Azure Thearch hated Gao Zhengyang's confidence. He had 16 Star Demon Chess pieces, and each of them was much stronger than that little girl.
More importantly, the chessboard formed a world of its own and had its own laws. The chess pieces all moved according to the laws. All external forces would be repelled by it. Jade Heart Fox could only use 50% to 60% of her strength.
She had been playing on this chessboard for tens of thousands of years and was familiar with all the laws. She knew the chess pieces' changes like the back of her hand. Under such circumstances, how could Gao Zhengyang win?
However, playing chess was to win. Since Gao Zhengyang was courting death, the Azure Thearch would not be polite.
He said to Gao Zhengyang, "In that case, I won't be polite."
The Azure Thearch stretched out his hand and pointed. A chess piece with three heads and six arms moved forward three squares. The game officially began.
Jade Heart Fox, who was standing in the depths of the chessboard, could not see the other party's chess pieces for the time being. However, she could feel the dangerous aura coming from the front.
Jade Heart Fox did not know what to do. Gao Zhengyang's voice echoed in her heart at the right time.
"Don't be afraid. Go forward and use all your strength to defeat all the enemies!"
Gao Zhengyang made it sound very easy, but Jade Heart Fox was not sure if she could do it.
However, at this point, she could only listen to Gao Zhengyang's instructions. Before she could take another step, a sword technique appeared in her sea of consciousness.
This technique was extremely complicated. From the cultivation method to all kinds of moves, it had everything one needed. However, for some reason, not only did Jade Heart Fox remember all the contents, but she also completely understood the profound meaning of the sword technique.
In just a few breaths, Jade Heart Fox felt that her sword technique had improved greatly. Her confidence also doubled. It seemed like nothing in the world could stop her sword.
Jade Heart Fox, who was in a wonderful state of mind, activated the Morning Star Seven Swords and flew forward on her sword. However, according to the rules of the chessboard, she could only fly five squares at most.
After stopping for a step, Jade Heart Fox moved forward again and finally encountered the chess piece opposite her. It was a three-headed, six-armed star demon that was more than ten meters tall.
When the star demon saw Jade Heart Fox, the eyes on the middle head flashed with red light. Jade Heart Fox was about to activate her flying sword, but it stopped. The other two heads started chanting at the same time. Thousands of blue starlight condensed into flying swords and poured down like a torrential rain.
Jade Heart Fox wanted to use her sword to dodge, but she suddenly understood that the laws of this world restricted her. She could not retreat or dodge left or right. At this point, she could only fight.
The Morning Star Seven Swords flashed out and formed a sword net in front of her. Thousands of blue flying swords shot over angrily and shattered into specks of starlight on the sword net. However, the huge sword net was also riddled with holes by the flying swords.
The three-headed, six-armed star demon was about to attack again when a sword light drew a subtle arc and penetrated the star demon's back.
The star demon's body was tall, heavy, and tough. The flying swords only penetrated about a foot deep before they were clamped by the star demon's tough body, unable to advance any further.
Seeing that the flying swords had no effect, Jade Heart Fox flicked her fingers. The flying swords buzzed and vibrated. The three-headed, six-armed star demon was shaken by the flying swords and shattered into blue divine light.
The Lotus Supreme Thearch, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes. Jade Heart Fox's sword-kinesis technique was beyond his expectations. In terms of sword-kinesis technique, this sword technique could kill the enemy and defeat the strong. It could be said to be wondrous.
However, no matter how wondrous Jade Heart Fox's sword-kinesis technique was, how many star demons could she block?
The Lotus Supreme Thearch became serious. He mobilized the fifteen star demon chess pieces and advanced step by step. In just a few steps, he had trapped Jade Heart Fox.
Surrounded from all sides, even if Jade Heart Fox could sacrifice a few chess pieces, she would definitely die.
The Lotus Supreme Thearch did not shake his head at Gao Zhengyang. "You have lost." Of course, he would not show mercy. He just wanted to see Gao Zhengyang's dejected look of defeat.
However, Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "I said before that I will definitely not lose!"
The Lotus Supreme Thearch was a little stunned. They had already reached this step. Anyone who came would be doomed. There was no hope! Gao Zhengyang was still not willing to admit defeat?
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "Are you confused? Actually, it's very simple. If I kill you, the chess player, there is no way I will lose!"
Before he finished speaking, an incomparably bright full moon was reflected in the Lotus Supreme Thearch's eyes.
