The Spherical Heaven Chessboard was profound and unfathomable, attracting countless powerful cultivators.
Ever since it had appeared, countless powerful cultivators had tried, but no one had been able to solve it.
The Spherical Heaven Chessboard was only halfway through, so there was still time to turn things around.
However, it was already a dead end. No matter how they changed, the white pieces would not be able to escape being surrounded and killed by the black pieces.
The white pieces were like trapped beasts, surrounded by the vast army of black pieces so tightly that not even a drop of water could escape.
No matter which step they took, they would be besieged and would not be able to escape.
No matter how skilled one was in chess, they could only resist stubbornly, delaying the collapse of the battle.
It was impossible to completely solve it!
...
Even so, there were still many powerful cultivators who went up to challenge the chessboard.
Although they could not solve the chessboard, they could use the battles on the chessboard to train themselves.
This place contained the profound truths of the Heavenly Dao, and laws descended to enhance one's comprehension.
They could also fight against the powerful cultivators who walked out of the black pieces.
It was a projection formed by the supreme powers of the Celestial World and would change according to the cultivator's strength.
This could be said to be the best place to train.
Sparring with opponents of similar strength could greatly increase one's combat ability.
Many people had gained a lot.
The various sacred grounds' powerful cultivators were tempted to enter the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
One figure after another flew toward the Spherical Heaven Chessboard on divine rainbows.
The surrounding people exclaimed, "The top cultivators are making their move. How many steps can they take?"
Those who went up were the various sacred leaders and Grand Elders. Their cultivation levels were basically at the Great Sage level.
There were also Eight Tribulation Great Sages like the Nine Sun Sacred Leader and the Sky Tripod Sacred Leader.
Would such a powerful lineup be able to solve the Spherical Heaven Chessboard?
...
"Junior Brother, let's try too?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was very envious, and his eyes were sparkling.
There were many treasures in the Spherical Heaven Chessboard. Not only were there Sage artifacts, but there were also Great Sage artifacts and pseudo-Immortal artifacts!
Even the Celestial World's mystic arts and cultivation techniques were there.
As long as he entered, he might have everything!
This was a huge fortune, and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was very tempted.
Even if he could not use it, he could exchange it for cultivation resources.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, who cultivated the Tinder Art, had already spent all his assets and was very tight.
Shouldn't he take this opportunity to make a fortune?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "Since Senior Brother is interested, I will naturally accompany you!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus smiled brightly. "Hehe, Junior Brother will lead the way."
Why did he drag the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader into this?
That was because Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus knew nothing about chess.
If he found someone who understood Go to lead the way, he would definitely gain more than if he walked alone.
"I'll go too!"
The old patriarch of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race, Qi Delong, walked out, his eyes blazing.
This clan was warlike to begin with. Although he didn't know much about chess, seeing that he could fight with someone made his hands itch.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus nodded. "Alright, let's attack together!"
Qi Delong was very powerful, and the three of them would definitely gain a lot if they worked together!
"Haha, good!"
"I want to see what's so special about this chess game!"
Qi Delong leaped up and charged into the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus exchanged looks and also flew off.
…
In an instant, the laws descended and enveloped them, forming a world of their own.
The three of them stood on the chessboard's star positions. Their surroundings were hazy and chaotic, and there was nothing.
Before they moved, the black pieces would not appear.
At that point, the cultivators who entered the Spherical Heaven Chessboard would be immersed in it and would not be able to observe the overall situation.
They could only try to solve the chess pieces according to their memories.
"Junior Brother, where should we go?"
After entering the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not walk around randomly.
If he took a wrong step, he would be surrounded and attacked by the black pieces.
If he was surrounded and attacked by so many black pieces, even a Great Sage would be defeated.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said coldly, "Senior Brother, I told you to read more and read good books, but you just don't listen."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. "Junior Brother is enough.
I can't be bothered to read such boring things. "
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shook his head and ignored Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. Instead, he studied the chess game.
Thereafter, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader took a step forward and stood on another star position.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and Qi Delong hurriedly followed.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out!
Beside them, a black chess piece landed, pressing down on them.
Three figures shrouded in heavenly light walked out and charged toward the three of them.
This was the number of figures that would appear according to the number of people accompanying them.
If they were surrounded and attacked by two black pieces, then six figures would walk out.
So on and so forth. Although there was strength in numbers, it was not a good thing in this place.
If they were surrounded and attacked by so many black pieces, then they would have to face even more terrifying figures!
...
Although these three figures had powerful auras, they were too dull. They only knew how to attack and had no intelligence.
Soon, the three figures were smashed into pieces.
"Junior Brother, you are in charge of deducing. I and the Old Monkey King will be in charge of clearing the path!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus held his golden staff and exuded a domineering aura.
At the side, Qi Delong also took out a huge stone staff and stood beside Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. Their bodies shone with golden light.
The two of them were like invincible Gods of War who wanted to suppress all enemies.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded and continued forward.
Their journey was smooth. Even if they were surrounded and attacked by a few black pieces, they could not stop their footsteps.
They continued forward, and their deductions of the chess game became more and more profound. They tried to reverse the situation and save the white pieces.
...
It was not just them. The sacred leaders of the other sacred grounds were the same.
They had studied the Spherical Heaven Chessboard for 1,000 years and had already found some ways to break it. They would not be defeated so easily.
However, the further they went, the more difficult it became.
Every time they took a step, the black pieces would follow them closely.
They were constantly nibbling away and shrinking the area.
The various sacred leaders were surrounded by seven or eight black pieces after walking for close to 100 steps.
Figures shrouded in heavenly light walked out and attacked fiercely.
Even an Eight Tribulation Great Sage could not withstand the attacks of so many powerful cultivators.
Soon, the Nine Sun Sacred Leader, the Sky Tripod Sacred Leader, and the others were all sent flying.
"The Spherical Heaven Chessboard is indeed extraordinary!"
Some people smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They had studied it for 1,000 years, but they had not even completed half of it.
At that moment, a few beams of heavenly light shot out from the Spherical Heaven Chessboard and landed in their hands.
Many people were extremely envious when they saw those things. "They are Great Sage artifacts!"
"There are even Great Sage artifacts!"
"The Nine Sun Sacred Leader is too powerful to be able to obtain such a reward!"
"Throughout history, not many people have been able to obtain such a reward. It is indeed extraordinary."
Ordinary Great Monarchs would only be able to take a dozen steps before retreating in defeat.
The reward they could obtain was just an ordinary Great Sage artifact.
However, top-notch Great Sages could walk dozens or even close to 100 steps, so the reward was naturally more abundant.
As an Eight Tribulation Great Sage who had studied the Spherical Heaven Chessboard carefully, the Nine Sun Sacred Leader had successfully walked 100 steps.
Although he had failed in the end, he had still obtained a Great Sage artifact as a reward.
The Nine Sun Sacred Leader was elated. This was a very good thing to be in the limelight.
After all, there were so many people trying to pass, but only a small portion of them obtained a Great Sage artifact.
...
At that moment, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard changed.
A deafening rumble swept over, causing everyone's ears to ring.
Countless laws descended, emitting a terrifying aura that covered the entire chessboard.
Everyone looked over and saw that the situation of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the other two had changed.
Their journey had been smooth sailing, and they soon walked hundreds of steps.
Even if there was a small crisis, they could easily resolve it with their powerful battle prowess.
However, the more they walked, the more the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader felt that something was wrong.
There were more and more black pieces around them, and they could only retreat. They were about to be completely surrounded by the black pieces.
His heavenly aura surged violently. "There's no solution to this. This is the Heavenly Cycle Death Chessboard!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had tried his best to deduce the entire Heavenly Cycle Death Chessboard, but in the end, it was all for naught.
They walked around in circles and finally returned to their original spot.
Meanwhile, the black pieces had already surrounded them, trapping them here.
The black pieces shone with black light, and their aura was breathtaking. A terrifying aura swept through the world.
These black pieces were surrounded by heavenly light, and laws descended. Figures walked out one after another.
There were many of them, and they emitted a powerful spiritual pressure. It was as if an Evil Spirit army had arrived, ready to attack at any time.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the other two were already in a desperate situation.
No matter which step they took, they would be completely surrounded by the black pieces. There was no way they could escape!
"What the hell is this place?"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was dumbfounded. He had not expected things to turn out like this.
Why did they disappear after walking for so long?
"There's no way out. We can only fight!
Maybe we can kill our way out! "
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura trembled, and endless lightning shot out. He activated the Lightning Dao laws and shot straight into the sky!
His whole body was enveloped in dazzling divine lightning, and he emitted a terrifying aura.
He gathered countless lightning bolts and prepared for the battle.
This place was too strange, and there was no way to break through it. Instead, it caused them to fall into a hopeless situation.
If they did not kill their way out, they would definitely be severely injured!
There were just too many of them. There were hundreds of them.
Every one of them emitted a terrifying aura, and their cultivation levels were almost the same as theirs.
Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's battle prowess far exceeded those of the same cultivation level, it was still to a certain extent.
Who could defeat hundreds of opponents of the same cultivation level?
"Just in time!
This is the battle I've been waiting for! "
Qi Delong roared into the sky and pounded his chest with both hands. His whole body was surrounded by dazzling golden light!
Strands of unyielding battle intent surged out and swept through the heavens and the earth, and their might was abundant and irresistible.
A 100,000-feet-tall divine ape appeared behind him, and its aura was extremely powerful.
"Alright then!
I've never been afraid of anyone in a fight! "
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not waste any more time.
The golden staff in his hand vibrated violently, and it emitted an earth-shattering aura.
At the same time, an emerald Exceptional Fire rose and entered Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' body.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus cultivated the Tinder Art and had even refined the extraordinary item — the Azure Green Sky Flame!
With the enhancement of the two, his physical body was extremely powerful and was not weaker than Qi Delong's Sage Ape Body.
The three of them stood tall in heaven and earth, and their bodies emitted endless laws that shook the heavens.
It caused the void to shatter and all techniques to be destroyed.
In front of them was a vast expanse of black chess pieces, and hundreds of figures walked out of it.
It was obvious that an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt in the chessboard.
...
Outside, someone exclaimed, "This is troublesome. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others are in trouble."
"Even a Mighty Sage can't escape safely with so many powerful cultivators attacking them!"
"I wonder if the three of them can escape!"
The Spherical Heaven Chessboard was not without danger. It was just that very few people came into contact with it.
Those who had entered to train previously had not gone far.
They had been surrounded by a few black chess pieces, but they still had a way out.
But now, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others had no way out at all. They were completely surrounded.
It was not that easy to escape!
...
At that moment, those figures had already launched their attacks.
They were divided into three groups and charged toward the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others.
Each group had 100 figures, and it was as if 100 Great Sages were charging together.
That aura was extremely terrifying, causing those with weaker cultivation levels to tremble all over.
Such a big scene was unheard of!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus and the Old Monkey King had solemn expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.
Fortunately, the black chess pieces were scattered and not all of them attacked.
Otherwise, even a Mighty Sage would not be able to withstand it and would die here.
Even so, the situation was still not good for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others.
Each of them had to fight at least 10 figures at the same time, and they came in batches after batches.
If they could not end the battle quickly and were surrounded by all the black chess pieces, it would be troublesome.
"Fight!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was the first to step forward. He controlled the Mixed Divine Lightning with one hand and the Lightning Celestial Sword with the other.
Lightning radiated behind him, transforming into the heavenly lightning tribulation that shot straight into the clouds!
In that instant, the area he was in was covered by endless lightning.
The terrifying lightning carried a destructive aura, shattering the void into dust.
Lightning snakes danced, and lightning dazzled.
The lightning in the sky was like the Milky Way flowing backward, instantly enveloping the 10 figures.
Boom!
The lightning resonated, shaking the heavens!
The massive lightning was as thick as a water bucket, wantonly rampaging, overturning heaven and earth!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader leaped forward, the Lightning Celestial Sword in his hand incomparably sharp.
Every time the sword descended, it would slash a phantom into pieces.
He was like the Lightning Emperor descending to the mortal world, invincible!
At the side, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was unwilling to fall behind.
He used the Supreme Ocean Staff Technique, erupting with the power to annihilate an entire army.
The golden staff transformed into a 10,000-feet-long staff aura, covering heaven and earth with golden light as if it could shatter mountains and rivers!
The massive staff aura descended from the sky like a heavenly pillar, wanting to shatter the entire world!
Bam, bam, bam!
Under Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' staff aura, several figures directly exploded, turning into endless laws that dissipated into heaven and earth.
Qi Delong's battle style was even more simple and violent.
His body suddenly enlarged, turning into a 10,000-feet-long golden divine ape, shaking heaven and earth.
At the same time, waves of powerful battle intent burst forth, causing his aura to become even more terrifying.
Qi Delong stood between heaven and earth, releasing incomparably violent power as if he wanted to battle with heaven and earth.
As the leader of the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race, his cultivation level had reached the Eight Tribulation Great Sage level, and his power was extremely powerful.
This race was the descendant of the Sacred Battle Ape race, so their power was already terrifying.
At their peak, the Sacred Battle Ape could tear apart the sun, moon, and stars with their bare hands and dared to fight with the world's paragons!
Qi Delong had the bloodline of the Sacred Battle Ape. Although it had not reached the level of bloodline atavism, it was still extremely rich.
Thus, what he cultivated was the purest battle intent.
Even though he was facing so many powerful cultivators, Qi Delong was not afraid at all.
His battle intent was awe-inspiring, and he wanted to forcefully kill his way out!
However, Qi Delong's fists danced, and his power was unstoppable, as if a primordial divine mountain was crushing down.
In that instant, those figures were defeated one after another.
The three of them were invincible, forcefully resisting the black pieces' encirclement and supporting the world.
...
This scene caused the hearts of the crowd to tremble.
Some people's eyes were dazed, and their mouths formed an 'O' shape. They were extremely shocked.
"These three are just too powerful!"
"As expected of the Divine Firmament Twins. They are still as powerful as ever!"
"There's also the Golden Eyed Fire Ape race's Old Monkey King. His battle prowess is also extremely powerful!"
"Can they break out of this deadlock?"
Someone cried out involuntarily, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.
They were in the outside world and could see the entire situation, so they knew what kind of danger the three of them were in.
If it were the sacred leaders of other sacred grounds, they would have long been defeated.
It was impossible to resist this power.
However, not only did the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the others resist the pressure, but they even charged forward, wanting to kill their way out.
It was just too terrifying.
...
However, the three people in the Spherical Heaven Chessboard felt heavy pressure.
After all, they were surrounded by hundreds of figures. There were many of them, and they were extremely powerful.
Even if the three of them joined forces, they would not be able to get rid of all those figures in a short time.
On the contrary, the attacks of those figures were extremely terrifying, far from what ordinary people could withstand.
As Qi Delong was charging at the front, he suffered the most ferocious attacks.
Soon, he was covered in blood, and his flesh was torn open. He was heavily injured.
"Old Monkey King, retreat first. Let me do it!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hurriedly walked forward and gestured for the Old Monkey King to retreat and recuperate.
"No need, I can still fight!"
Qi Delong's golden blood splattered, but his battle intent did not diminish. He still wanted to fight.
"Forget it!
If you continue to bleed, you won't be able to keep your life!
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I don't care about those mere figures!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus stood in front of Qi Delong, divine light swirling behind him. Two similar figures walked out and resisted the enemy together.
He was activating the Three Pure Ones in One Breath, using the three clones to fight the crowd.
Each Azure Lotus' aura was extremely terrifying. They displayed supreme techniques and burst forth with powerful might.
At that moment, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus looked very imposing. He wanted to fight against the army of black pieces alone!
...
Upon seeing this, Qi Delong retreated to the back to recuperate.
But soon, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Even the three Azure Lotuses could not withstand the attacks of hundreds of powerful cultivators.
Soon, he was forced to retreat again and again!
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus instantly revealed his true colors and shouted, "F * ck, do you have to be so fierce!?
"Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!
"Aiyo, do you have to use so much strength?
"Old Monkey King, are you done?
"Come, come, come. Quick, let someone else take over!
"Save me! I can't hold on any longer!
"Ah! Junior Brother, save me! "
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' tragic cries could be heard.
His face was charred black, and he scurried away like a rat. There were still close to 100 figures chasing after him.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader strode forward, and his lightning and heavenly aura were extremely dazzling.
In that instant, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning surged, and countless lightning bolts poured down.
In an instant, the entire place turned into a sea of lightning!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was like a god who controlled the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, controlling the endless lightning bolts to pour down!
This was the Divine Firmament Imperial Sutra's forbidden chapter — Decalamity.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was like a god who was indifferent to the world. He wanted to completely destroy this world!
Rumble!
The terrifying Heavenly Tribulation Lightning surged and enveloped the entire place.
Every bolt of tribulation lightning would blast a phantom into dust.
"Junior Brother, you're too awesome!
"Just a mere figure dares to bully me!
"Eat this!"
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was invigorated upon seeing the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's help, and he hurriedly counterattacked.
The two of them worked together and temporarily blocked the army's attack.
However, it was still a little difficult to kill their way out!
...
Outside...
Everyone's expression was solemn.
The Mystic Sky Chessboard was actually this terrifying.
Even the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the other two were unable to break it.
Who else in the five regions could reach the final step of the chessboard?
It was simply unbelievable!
