(Third Update)
At this moment, regardless of whether they were being chased or being chased, all of them stopped moving.
That was because the last Divine Fire Fruit had been obtained. The voice of the will of the universe also sounded in everyone's mind.
Stop!
That was because the first stage was over.
There were eighty-one Divine Fire Fruits in the first stage. When all of them were found and obtained, it meant that the first stage was over. At that moment, no matter who you were, whether you wanted to kill or be killed, you had to stop. Otherwise, you would be disqualified as violating the rules.
That was why Black Light Marquis dispersed the power in his hand and did not attack Chen Zong again.
The voice of the will of the universe sounded in everyone's mind from time to time.
There were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people who entered the outer layer. Now that the first stage was over, there were more than eight thousand three hundred people left. More than one thousand six hundred people had been eliminated.
However, that was not enough. According to the will of the universe, only six thousand six hundred and sixty-six people could enter the second stage. That was to say, before the second stage began, more than one thousand people had to be eliminated.
So, how could they be eliminated?
Soon, everyone knew about it.
Crack the chess game!
In an instant, an enormous chessboard appeared high up in the sky, covering the entire area as it came crashing down.
Black chess pieces also appeared on the huge chessboard and spread out, forming a chess game that looked simple but was actually very complicated.
The Chess Game of Destiny!
This chess game was set up by the will of the universe.
The will of heaven was like a knife, and everyone felt a sense of horror under it.
The chess game cracking … began!
Of course, if one did not want to crack it, they could give up and be eliminated directly.
However, no one would give up. No matter what, they had to try. What if they could enter the second stage?
No one knew what the second stage was like, but there was no harm in entering the second stage. Perhaps there would be great benefits.
Everyone sprang into action. Their eyes glittered as their consciousnesses touched the Chessboard of Heaven's Will. Instantly, the Chessboard of Heaven's Will shattered, transforming into countless fragments that appeared in front of everyone and enveloped them.
People were chess pieces in the chessboard.
Chen Zong looked around. A chessboard shrouded him, and his whole person seemed to have turned into a chess piece. It was very mysterious.
The will of the universe also surged into his mind.
The Heaven's Will Chessboard had 999 moves and had to be solved within a set time. The more moves one could solve, the better. When the time was up, the top 6,666 would be selected to enter the second stage while the rest would be eliminated.
Everyone immediately started cracking the code.
Chen Zong stared at the first black chess piece. Suddenly, he felt as if his consciousness had left his body and entered the chess piece.
The black chess piece transformed into a swordsman with a long sword in his hand. The swordsman was expressionless, but his eyes were extremely sharp. Cold light flickered in his eyes like the edge of a sword, capable of tearing everything apart.
The black-clothed swordsman didn't say a word, but his entire body was filled with an extremely shocking sword intent. That sword intent seemed to split the sky as a sword followed up with an attack.
It looked like a very simple stab, but it gave Chen Zongsheng a feeling that he couldn't dodge it.
Since that was the case, there was no need to dodge.
As soon as Chen Zong lifted his sword, he immediately realized that his cultivation power and the power of the Great Path had all disappeared. All that was left was a very ordinary power.
What was going on?
However, Chen Zong also realized that his One Heart Sutra was still operating and was not restricted.
Swordsmanship!
In an instant, Chen Zong knew that the way to solve the game was to defeat the black-clothed swordsman transformed by the black chess piece.
It was still a contest of swordsmanship. Using swordsmanship to solve the game.
As for how the others solved the game, Chen Zong didn't know. That had nothing to do with him. He just needed to focus on solving his own game.
The black-clothed swordsman's stab demonstrated the profound swordsmanship of a swordsman, which made Chen Zong excited. He didn't defeat him directly. On the contrary, he habitually suppressed his own swordsmanship attainment and fought fiercely with him.
This was because Chen Zong felt that although the black-clothed swordsman's realm of swordsmanship was not as high as his, his application of swordsmanship was very brilliant. It seemed that he had fully developed and displayed the power of his realm. It was extraordinary.
And this happened to be what Chen Zong lacked.
Chen Zong's current swordsmanship attainment had reached a very high level. It was at the level of a unique skill. However, because Chen Zong's speed of improvement was faster, it was inevitable that he lacked in the development of each realm of swordsmanship. In other words, he was not so thorough and comprehensive.
Even with the help of the One Heart Sutra, Chen Zong did not fully explore all his potential in each realm of swordsmanship. This was because Chen Zong's speed of improvement was too fast.
Martial arts like swordsmanship could not be faked. If one wanted to improve, he had to put in time and effort to practice hard. Although he was talented, he could only shorten the time, but he could not reach the sky in a single bound.
It was the same for all external help.
Of course, Chen Zong had been working hard to make up for his shortcomings. However, because of his continuous improvement, he had not made up for it before. Now that he had made a breakthrough, there was new potential to explore.
This allowed Chen Zong to improve at every moment.
Now, the way to solve the Destiny Chess Game had undoubtedly provided Chen Zong with an excellent opportunity to refine his swordsmanship.
Chen Zong was best at suppressing his own swordsmanship to the same realm as the black-clothed swordsman. He could feel the application of his opponent's swordsmanship during the battle and absorb its essence to supplement himself.
With the One Heart Sutra, Chen Zong could analyze the mystery of his opponent's swordsmanship every breath and absorb it.
Chen Zong and the black-clothed swordsman were constantly exchanging blows with their swordsmanship to understand the mystery and make up for the shortcomings of his own swordsmanship. The others were also trying to solve the game.
Among them, Black Light Marquis was the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he had solved the first move. Then, in less than a breath, he had solved the second move, and then the third.
Step by step, in just a short span of ten breaths, Black Light Marquis had broken through dozens of steps. Such a speed of breaking was extremely shocking.
Black Light Marquis' speed of solving the game was fast, but there were others who were not far behind.
It could be said that most people were solving the game quickly, trying to solve as many moves as possible within the limited time. If possible, it would be best to solve the Destiny Chess Game completely.
Not long after, Black Light Marquis had solved 100 moves. Soon, he had solved 111 moves. However, the next move was not so easy.
However, Black Light Marquis only spent a little time to solve it successfully.
"What's wrong with that kid?"
"Others have solved at least ten moves. Why hasn't he solved even the first move?"
Those who were paying attention to Chen Zong were suddenly surprised and puzzled.
The outside world could see the number of moves that everyone had solved the game. Of course, they could not see the specific situation.
"With his swordsmanship attainment, it shouldn't be like this."
"What is this junior thinking? Doesn't he know that time is limited? "
Very few people noticed that in addition to Chen Zong, there was actually another person who was in the first move. That was Chen Xiu.
At this moment, Chen Zong stood still. His eyes flashed and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your contribution." Chen Zong said to the black-robed swordsman. Of course, the black-robed swordsman was not a real person and did not pay any attention to Chen Zong. He continued to attack with his sword.
With a flash of sword light, Chen Zong killed the black-robed swordsman.
The first move was successfully solved and he stepped into the second move.
The second move's black chess piece turned into a black-robed swordsman and attacked again. It felt more brilliant than the first move's black-robed swordsman. However, it was only a little more brilliant. There was no difference in essence.
After exchanging a few blows with the black-robed swordsman, Chen Zong found that the black-robed swordsman could still be of some help to him. Therefore, he spent some time to exchange blows with the black-robed swordsman.
"Hahahaha, who can compare with me?" Black Light Marquis laughed. Now, he had successfully solved the 222nd move and was starting to solve the 223rd move.
At this speed, there was hope that he could successfully solve the Destiny Chess Game within the allotted time.
It seemed that the first person to solve the Destiny Chess Game would receive an unexpected benefit. Then, he would gladly accept this unexpected benefit.
Immediately, Black Light Marquis' heart skipped a beat. He took the time to check the progress of the others. He found that the second person had solved more than 200 moves and was constantly closing in on him.
Chen Zong, who had previously fought with him, was only solving the fifth move. This speed was pathetically slow.
"What a piece of trash." Black Light Marquis could not help but look contemptuous. Then, he focused on solving.
He did not notice that Chen Zong's solving speed was gradually increasing. This was because Chen Zong was constantly making up for the shortcomings of his swordsmanship when he was at a lower realm.
"Black Light Marquis's solving speed is the fastest. It seems that he has the chance to be the first to succeed."
"No, Black Light Marquis is only in the limelight for a while. He will definitely not be the first to solve. The first person to solve will most likely be him."
"Who?"
"Samsara God!"
Samsara God!
Who was this?
He was the number one expert on the Divine General List. Since he was ranked first, his position had never been shaken. Even the number two expert on the Divine General List was no match for him. The difference in strength was quite obvious.
"Besides Samsara God, there are a few people who have more hope than Black Light Marquis to be the first to completely solve the Destiny Chess Game."
Since ancient times, the first person to solve the Destiny Chess Game would receive additional benefits. This was a gift from the Will of the Universe.
Unfortunately, the Destiny Chess Game was set up by the Will of the Universe. Even a Saint-level expert could not recreate it. There had been experts who tried to imitate it, but the result was that it was a waste of time, energy, and many treasures. They could only give up.
Compared to the Will of the Universe, Saint-level experts were very strong, but they were still incomparable.
In the continuous solving, Chen Zong's swordsmanship was also constantly made up for.
When his swordsmanship was at a lower realm, Chen Zong's flaws were rapidly disappearing due to his rapid improvement. This allowed Chen Zong to gradually increase his solving speed.
