Thirteenth Dan Chess Dao, Formless Chess Heart (5K)

Such a sight was something Li Hao had never witnessed even when he was observing his Master Dao Source Immortal Emperor, making his moves.

The Chess Dao skills of the two old men before him were clearly far superior to his, and even superior to his Master's. They were probably at the Fourteenth Dan or even Fifteenth Dan level!

Li Hao transformed into a Go Board on the board, only able to glimpse the endless Starry Sky and see the Myriad Dao Laws of order, with star continents scattered throughout, containing layers of World Domain and overlapping times, like a fantastical and breathtaking scene.

" With Principle and order as the guiding principle, Time and Space overlaps, Past Future..."

Li Hao's eyes were unfocused; the Chess Dao chess is one with the Heaven and Earth.

He suddenly had an epiphany: the Imperial Ruler of Chess Dao uses all living beings as pieces, the venerable one of Chess Dao uses Heaven and Earth and earth as the Go Board and Star River and moon as pieces. The ultimate Chess Dao is to use all living beings as Chaos, and all living beings as pieces.

His own Chess Dao is to defy yin and yang and change fate, with all living beings as pieces, including the opponent's Chess Piece, which can be cleverly transformed into his assists. But the Chess Dao before him is far beyond this, having transcended the Go Board and is laid out in the Chaos of Heaven and Earth.

"I am for my son..."

Li Hao looked around and saw that he was surrounded.

This piece of his is already a dead end.

It will be annihilated and shattered in an instant, and must be removed from the Go Board.

"A way out, a way out..."

Li Hao's breathing became rapid, his eyes scanning his surroundings intently. The area was completely sealed off; there was no way to escape, no way to go up or down. Where was there a way to survive?

"Time and Space, transcending this Time and Space..."

In this critical moment, Flash of Insight struck Li Hao. His Origin of Time had reached the eighth level, and he glimpsed a route to the Past that was not yet blocked. He rushed there at full speed back then.

"Um?"

The Elder Er sitting in front of the Go Board suddenly showed surprise in their eyes. The Elder Qi looked at the young man standing behind the Elder Ba. The young man's expression was completely blank at this moment, his eyes were fixed on the Go Board, as if he was lost in thought.

Just now, the opponent's Divine Sense actually touched a Chess Piece on the Go Board and gently pushed it!

The moving Chess Piece, imbued with the power of time, vanished and reappeared in a square from the Past, thus narrowly escaping the blockade.

But this is clearly a foul; once a move is made, it cannot be taken back, and it cannot be moved.

Moreover, it's not a true solution to the problem.

However, the fact that they could see this through the interplay of their chess skills was already quite surprising to the two of them, after all, the young man's Soul Lifespan was only a few hundred years, less than one percent of that of those young men who claimed to be emperors.

"True Lord observes chess in silence, but this little fellow, instead of speaking, went straight to the game..."

The Elder Qi couldn't help but smile.

Before the land of the Ninth Heavenly Domain.

The Lake, which was once a deep, clear blue, was now stained with a dark brown blood-red color, and the previously turbulent waves had subsided.

The great battle that had erupted here had ended. High in the sky, the Snow-haired Woman was panting heavily, her clothes were soaked, she had several wounds on her body, and her clothes were torn. She tightly clutched three silver-white orbs of light in her hands.

"Um?"

Suddenly, the Snow-haired Woman's expression changed slightly, sensing an ominous sign. Without hesitation, she quickly left the Lake, rushed out of the land, and arrived in the Void outside.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The Snow-haired Girl quickly arrived at his side and hurriedly said.

The Snow-haired Woman didn't speak, but quickly absorbed the three orbs of Heavenly Dao Power in her hand. Immediately afterward, she heard a sound of air being torn apart, which was from the Chaos Red Demon Clan and other Chaos Ancient Clan she had encountered earlier.

"Um?"

The Chaos Red Demon Clan Youth and the others also saw the Snow-haired Woman. Seeing that she had arrived at the Ninth Heavenly Domain ahead of them, their expressions changed slightly. They then noticed that she was injured and had obviously been in battle, so their expressions became even more unpleasant.

The Chaos Dao Seed in the Eighth Heavenly Domain has already been swept away by that Human Race. If the Chaos Dao Seed in the Ninth Heavenly Domain is also snatched by someone else, then they will have no choice but to return to the Seventh Heavenly Domain to search for it.

But that would obviously put us behind the others.

"As expected of the Ancient Immortal Clan, their speed is indeed fast."

The Chaos Red Demon Clan Youth sneered.

"Have you seen that Human Race?" asked another young man from the Chaos Ancient Clan with black wings on his back.

The Snow-haired Woman noticed the four men's hostile gazes, but her expression returned to calm. She said, "Whether I've seen them before or not is none of your business."

"You."

Another member of the Chaos Ancient Clan had a cold glint in his eyes and was about to attack. Although the person in front of him was Prodigy from the Ancient Immortal Clan, even if the four of them joined forces and used their Domain Artifact, they would still have six more than the other two.

As they were talking, a low growl suddenly came from the land, interrupting their conversation. Dao Body enormous Chaos Dao Seed flew over. Two of them had ferocious bodies like birds of prey, while the other resembled Male Lion and a scorpion fused together, with a sharp tail, scales all over its body, and Golden Lion's face on its head.

"Three Chaos Dao Seed!"

Upon seeing these three colossal beasts, the eyes of the Chaos Red Demon Clan Youth lit up.

The Snow-haired Woman's expression changed slightly. Having experienced the previous battle on the Lake, she would not underestimate the Chaos Dao Seed of the Ninth Heavenly Domain. Fortunately, she had just retreated in time. Otherwise, in her current state, surrounded by these three Chaos Dao Seed, she would have had no choice but to use her Domain Artifact to escape.

"You've already hunted down Chaos Dao Seed, right? These three should be ours now!"

The young man from the Chaos Ancient Clan with black wings spoke, his eyes filled with threat.

Upon hearing this, the other three also turned their gazes toward the Snow-haired Woman, seemingly ready to fight at any moment if she still wanted to compete.

Seeing their confident expressions, the Snow-haired Woman sneered, her eyes icy, and said, "If you can kill me before I change my mind, that's your skill."

Seeing that the other party had backed down, the four of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to actually fight the other party, so it was best that the other party was willing to make a concession.

"Walk!"

Without saying a word, the four of them rushed into the land of the Ninth Heavenly Domain.

Upon entering the land, they were immediately suppressed by the Chaos order of the place and also felt the terrifying power of the three Chaos Dao Seed in front of them.

"This Aura is incredibly strong!"

"Careful!"

The four men suddenly remembered the injuries on the Snow-haired Woman's body, their expressions changed slightly, and they all became serious, no longer taking it lightly.

The three Chaos Dao Seed showed no mercy, all extremely ferocious, and launched an attack on the four of them, and a battle quickly broke out.

As the battle began, the four immediately felt immense pressure. These three Chaos Dao Seed were extremely terrifying; their 23 Chaos Law, which they Refinement, were easily torn apart by the opponents!

"The Chaos power within this Chaos Dao Seed is too strong; the Chaos Law are almost ineffective against it!"

"How is this possible? This is the Chaos Dao Seed of the Ninth Heavenly Domain?"

The four of them tried to attack, but to little avail. Instead, the attacks from the three Chaos Dao Seed caused them to cough up blood in an instant, leaving them all terrified.

In the blink of an eye, the four were at a disadvantage. They had no choice but to unleash their Bloodline power, revealing the true form of the Chaos Ancient Clan. They also transformed into the massive Chaos Ancient Clan original form and fiercely fought against the four Chaos Dao Seed. Soon, the battle shook the earth and the Principle vibrated continuously.

As they fought, more figures arrived at the scene.

"Um?"

A young man in Dark-Gold Armor arrived at this place and was slightly taken aback when he saw the fierce battle taking place on the land.

But he knew he wasn't the fastest, so he remained calm and silently surveyed his surroundings.

He vaguely remembered that he had been to the Ninth Heavenly Domain Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe. At that time, he and his Junior Sister joined forces to hunt down a few Chaos Dao Seed, but they dared not go too deep, for fear of provoking the Beast King inside, at which point their lives would be uncertain.

This time, he came without his Junior Sister, but he believed that with his combat power from two lifetimes, he could hunt down the Chaos Dao Seed alone, as long as he didn't encounter the Beast King. If he did encounter it, he would have to use his Domain Artifact to save his life, since all the Chaos Dao Seed in the Eighth Heavenly Domain had been slaughtered.

"Even with four against three, they're still struggling. The current generation of the Chaos Ancient Clan is indeed not as strong as it used to be."

The Dark Gold Armored Youth thought to Dark Dao.

Then, his gaze fell on the Snow-haired Woman, and his eyes flickered.

He flashed Past, asking, "You must be from the Ancient Immortal Clan. How shall I address you?"

The Snow-haired Woman turned her head and saw the Dark Gold Armored Youth. She immediately sensed a faint sense of oppression emanating from him. Among those of the same realm, there were not many who could exert such pressure on her; at least the previous four were not capable of doing so.

But her expression remained calm as she asked, "Xue Fei, what about you?"

"Divine Venerable."

The Dark Gold Armored Youth smiled and said, "I've met Fairy Xue Ji a few times. I wonder how she is doing now?"

"Elder Xue Ji?"

Xue Fei raised an eyebrow. That was a renowned expert in the clan, and also her great-grandmother.

"Could you perhaps be Quasi-Emperor reincarnated?"

Her eyes flickered, and she gazed intently as she spoke.

The Divine Venerable remained noncommittal. In his previous life, his cultivation had indeed reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm. He perished in that great battle, but fortunately, like his Junior Sister, his Soul Core had not withered.

"She is well, but Seclusion for many years. I cannot disclose any further details," Xue Fei said.

Although she knew that the person in front of her might have had a superficial relationship with her great-grandmother, she didn't show any kindness and spoke in her usual indifferent tone.

The Divine Venerable was already used to it; the pride of the Ancient Immortal Clan was ingrained in their bones. The Snow Maiden was the same way. If he hadn't displayed his extraordinary combat power in his previous life and defeated her, he wouldn't have been able to travel with her and fight side by side for a period of Years.

"The Chaos Dao Seed in the Eighth Heavenly Domain have all been eliminated. Could it be your doing?"

"It was done by that Human Race."

Xue Fei said indifferently.

The Divine Venerable was slightly taken aback, and Li Hao's image immediately appeared in his mind. His face darkened. In the Eighth Heavenly Domain, so many Chaos Dao Seed had actually been killed by that kid. That kid must have accumulated enough Heavenly Dao Power. Once he leaves this place, he will break through to the Immortal King-Sealing Immortal King Realm and become a top expert, capable of condensing Heavenly Dao World Domain.

Within the Heavenly Dao World Domain, beings born can comprehend cultivation. As a result, the power these cultivating beings bring to the World Domain far surpasses that of the Immortal King Realm.

Moreover, the more Heavenly Dao Power one obtains, the more likely Proving the Heavenly Heart and become Immortal Emperor!

"If we find that kid, we must find a way to nip him in the bud!"

The Divine Venerable Dark Dao to himself.

His gaze shifted, and he said to Xue Fei before him, "This Ninth Heavenly Domain is perilous; how about the two of us explore it together?"

Xue Fei glanced at him, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

She had already used all her strength to defeat the three Chaos Dao Seed in the previous battle. If another one came, she would have to use her Domain Artifact. However, this artifact would definitely be of great use on the Ascension Path, and the competition for it would be even more intense. Without the Domain Artifact, she might be eliminated early and would have to wait until then.

"OK."

After thinking for a moment, she nodded in agreement.

Although she disliked traveling with other people, especially a man, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being due to the fortuitous opportunity at hand.

Seeing that the other party was willing to travel together, the Divine Venerable breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He felt that Destiny was truly wonderful. Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, he had traveled through the Secret Realm with the Xue Heavenly Prodigy, a genius of the Ancient Immortal Clan. Now, he was traveling through the Ninth Heavenly Domain Heavenly Prodigy the contemporary genius of the Ancient Immortal Clan. It seemed that he had a great affinity with the Ancient Immortal Clan.

At the same time, Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and other people who Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws also arrived one after another.

On the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, there are no more than 30 people who Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws, and half of them have already reached the Immortal King Realm, or even the Quasi -Quasi-Emperor Realm.

There are only a dozen or so people here now, but among them are some who Refinement 22 Chaos Law and have also ventured here.

After all, with the Eighth Heavenly Domain cleared out, they could only come to the Ninth Heavenly Domain to take a look. If they couldn't hunt there, they would have to return to the Seventh Heavenly Domain.

"Are those Chaos Dao Seed really that strong?"

Luo Ningshuang narrowed her eyes, and was shocked to see that even the four members of the Chaos Ancient Clan were at a disadvantage when they joined forces. In particular, she was even more alarmed to see that the Chaos Law they used were ineffective against those Chaos Dao Seed.

No wonder this Ninth Heavenly Domain was once considered Forbidden Zone, and no one dared to enter it. If the Eighth Heavenly Domain had not been cleared out, she would not have come here immediately.

"Looks like I'll need to find someone to go hunting with."

Luo Ningshuang's gaze swept across the area and she immediately saw her fellow disciple, Su Wanyi. Su Wanyi also noticed her, and the two women exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts, and both nodded.

As they reached an agreement, a figure in black robes flew in from the edge, barely noticeable.

But the black-robed figure glanced at the Chaos Ancient Clan fighting inside, his eyes extremely indifferent, and without lingering, flew straight in.

He then did not join the melee, but instead flew off to other places.

Seeing that someone had entered the Ninth Heavenly Domain, Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi did not hesitate any longer. They set off, bypassing the people fighting in the melee, and explored other parts of the Ninth Heavenly Domain.

Although they also wanted to take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity, the four Chaos Ancient Clan all possessed unused Domain Artifact. If they were to actually fight over them, it would inevitably lead to a battle of Domain Artifact, which was completely unnecessary.

They will save these items for when they compete for the Ascension Path. Each person will have three, and each one used will reduce the available supply.

Let's go too.

The Divine Venerable extended an invitation to Xue Fei, but his gaze drifted to the maidservant beside her.

Even though the other party appeared respectful to Xue Fei, the Aura emanating from them was that of a top-tier Heavenly Prodigy, making them extremely extraordinary.

Xue Fei nodded, no longer interested in watching the battle. With someone to accompany her, she could explore other parts of the interior.

Soon, everyone entered the Ninth Heavenly Domain one after another.

Some figures who Refinement 22 Chaos Law arrived later. Seeing the fierce battle at the entrance, some chose to retreat, while others entered the Ninth Heavenly Domain together.

Meanwhile, deep within the Ninth Heavenly Domain.

In front of the Bamboo Grove Thatched Hut, Li Hao stood behind the Elder Ba, but his eyes were unfocused, his consciousness completely absorbed in the Go Board.

He transformed into a child, feeling the sharpness coming from all directions. He kept hiding and traversing back and forth in Time and Space, but the killing moves were relentless. No matter where he hid, there was murderous intent, and he could only get a moment's respite.

"This is not a long-term solution!"

Li Hao was covered in sweat, feeling as if he wanted to rebuild everything, to open the Heaven and Earth anew, and to reassemble the people.

But clearly, he didn't have that power; he could only constantly travel Past and Time and Space Future, alternating back and forth.

But even as he relentlessly pursued those deadly attacks, alternating between them, he remained in a desperate situation.

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost...

During his repeated escapes, Li Hao felt he had fled countless times, and he was exhausted and weary, but the ever-approaching murderous intent made it impossible for him to stop.

He suddenly realized that this move was wrong from the very beginning, and his struggles were just a case of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, a futile attempt to save himself.

If there had been no beginning, there would be no present.

Destiny... If we could go back to the beginning and not fall into this trap, there would be no need to struggle.

He leaped back and forth, hiding in different parts of Time and Space, while the surrounding Chess Piece reflected his deadly moves, trying to smash him to pieces.

"Destiny..."

Something seemed to sprout in Li Hao's mind. Some chaotic lines suddenly cleared away, leaving only one line that suddenly stretched straight. That line seemed to come from the sky, wrapping around his body and suddenly pulling him out of his predicament, out of this dead end.

He leaped out and suddenly saw a vast sky and sea, a clear blue sky for thousands of miles, and a sea of stars shining brightly, as if everything had returned to its original state.

"Yesterday's cause, today's effect; cut off the cause and sever the effect... Chess is about deception and strategy; Formless form, Formless supreme ruler!"

Li Hao murmured to himself, his eyes clearing from confusion, as if the Divine Radiance of Dawnlight burst forth from them, piercing through the thick fog and seeing through the alternation of Time and Space, and the predicament of Destiny.

In an instant, a prompt appeared before his eyes, but Li Hao ignored it. Instead, a multitude of insights into the Chess Dao flooded into his mind.

He discovered his own unique understanding of the Chess Heart, the Chess Dao World Heart!

From the 12th dan's mastery of Heaven and Earth game to the current 13th dan, the Formless Chess Heart!

It has Formless, no trace, is unfathomable, and is ever-changing!

Without cause, there is no effect; without Past, there is no Future; a random move can create countless variations!

At that moment, Li Hao understood.

On the Extreme Dao Mountain, he sought the Dao for a hundred years, comprehending the Time-Reversing Painting Heart amidst grief and indignation. He then spent another hundred years comprehending the Dao of Musical Rhythm, but still lacked two aspects. Now, in this Ninth Heavenly Domain, watching a game of chess and comprehending the Dao, he broke through the bottleneck of the 12th dan level of the Chess Dao, which he had not previously comprehended much, and advanced directly to the Thirteenth Dan!

This is the second set of Thirteenth Dan Mindset that he has come to understand!

Time-Reversing Painting Heart, Formless Chess Heart!

At this moment, all the vast Star River before Li Hao's eyes disappeared, his vision suddenly contracted, leaping off the Go Board and returning to his own body.

He still stood in the Bamboo Grove, not on the vast Star River Go Board; he still stood behind the Elder Ba, not in that unfathomable game of chess.

Time seemed to stand still, and everything returned to the moment the conversation ended.

When Li Hao came to his senses, he met the Elder Qi' smiling yet slightly surprised gazes. A smile played on their lips.

"Young man, have you understood?"
