The Cheat Power Dropped the Ball

The battle to break the formation has begun.

The chosen ones from all the states of the celestial realm and the various alliances stepped forward one after another.

Before the barrier appeared, thousands of identical chessboards appeared.

Everyone stepped forward and nervously sat down on the bone chair.

Soon, the scene fell silent.

Everyone is thinking.

But soon, many people left.

Because if your chess skills aren't good enough, you simply can't play.

The chess game before this barrier was extremely complex.

"This is terrifying. This game of chess... it's not just a game of chess. I can clearly feel that it's two terrifying armies battling it out, their lives hanging by a thread..."

A rather refined-looking young man spoke up. He was Lu Xing, a genius from the Earth Origin Alliance, known as the Little Chess Saint!

"This chess game is too difficult, containing hundreds of terrifying arrays... Among the younger generation, I'm afraid none of them can break it!"

A woman spoke, sighing deeply. She came from the Xuanzhen Profound Array Sect of the Profound True Realm and had a thorough understanding of Formation. Therefore, she could tell at a glance that what was in the game of chess was not just a game of chess, but a terrifying array that was intertwined!

In the arena, all the young people who understood the game were deep in thought.

However, most people have already given up and can only wait by the side of their respective league's top players, hoping that the other party can open up a path for them.

"Sigh, in the blink of an eye, only a few hundred people are left continuing..."

An old immortal sighed and said, "It's too difficult."

"Those who understand chess are already few, and among geniuses, they are even harder to find..."

"But it's alright, the Four Great Alliances were prepared!"

"Wait a little longer!"

Everyone started to speak.

"Lu Xing has started playing chess."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on them.

Lu Xing of the Earth Origin Alliance finally made his move.

His expression was solemn.

As soon as the black piece was placed, the white piece immediately followed suit.

The two sides Heibai, are locked in a fierce struggle!

Large beads of sweat dripped from Lu Xing's forehead.

He gave it his all, persevering with great difficulty, his eyes bloodshot as the game progressed!

"This game is terrifying. Even the Little Chess Saint is finding it this difficult?"

"Incredible..."

Everyone was amazed.

However, Lu Xing ultimately made a move!

As he placed the piece, the bone table in front of him suddenly vanished!

Then, the second one appeared.

With the first bone table gone, part of the barrier also disappeared, allowing him to walk forward about ten steps.

"The deadlock has been broken!"

"As expected of the Little Chess Saint!"

"The number one Little Chess Saint of the Earth Origin Alliance is truly amazing!"

The world was astonished.

Lu Xing also felt a great sense of relief, and a look of exhilaration appeared on his face. He then stepped forward and walked to the second table of bones.

The young people of the Earth Origin Alliance hurriedly followed him!

Those who break the deadlock can pave a path!

This path can be followed by others.

However, when Lu Xing sat down in the second white bone chair, he was instantly stunned. Staring at the chessboard, he seemed to have lost his mind!

Just how terrifying was the second game?

"Incredible!"

"There are nine chess games in total, each one more terrifying than the last."

Everyone started to speak.

And at this moment.

"Someone from the Earth Spirit Alliance has broken the deadlock!"

Everyone looked over in shock.

But it turned out that the one who broke through the formation was a woman.

She was dressed in a hazy, light veil, her slender and graceful figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows, while in her hands appeared one sand table after another!

"Mu Chenxi, the Saintess of the Profound Array Sect, is amazing!"

"The Celestial Heavenly Evolution Sand Table of the Profound Array Sect? It is said that it was created by the successive Sect Master of the Profound Array Sect with painstaking effort and can break all Formation in the world!"

"With this sand table, it's as if the past sect Sect Master of the Profound Array Sect are with Mu Chenxi!"

Everyone was surprised and spoke up.

Meanwhile, the members of the Earth Spirit Alliance excitedly followed Mu Chenxi.

Of the thousands of youths present, only these two managed to break through the first Formation.

All other states and coalitions are at a loss!

"We are unable to break through the formation..."

Despite their best efforts, Duanmu Yang, Ning Zhaoran, and other geniuses were unable to break the Formation!

They lacked Lu Xing's talent, and they didn't have the accumulated experience of the Profound Array Sect.

"It seems that this is the only way for our Earth Wind Alliance... Ning Zhaoran, let's make our move!"

At this moment, an old Xuanxian from the Earth Wind Alliance spoke up!

Upon Ning Zhaoran nodded and immediately took out a crystal!

At the same time, four old men suddenly walked in from outside!

"Four Go masters, I beg you!"

The old immortal from the Earth Wind Alliance respectfully handed a crystal to the four of them!

Through the crystal, the chess game Ning Zhaoran was facing was immediately revealed to the four chess masters.

Seeing this, everyone in the room understood.

"The Earth Wind Alliance... are they planning to cheat?"

"Heavens! They are actually the Four Heavenly Chess Saints? These four were originally the Earth Spirit Realm, proving their Dao through chess!"

"With these four people making a move, the fortuitous opportunity likely belongs to the Earth Wind Alliance!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

The Four Heavenly Chess Saints nodded in agreement, with the leader, Bai Yizi, saying:

"To resolve the ultimate crisis in this world is the long-cherished wish of the four of us!"

They looked at the crystal, and all four of them were taken aback.

"What a terrifying chess game!"

"It contains hundreds of variations and tens of thousands of killing techniques..."

"So complex, it's truly terrifying!"

All four sighed in admiration, and then they began to rack their brains, each putting one piece into the board.

Finally, after a long time, the Earth Wind Alliance broke through the first chessboard!

Meanwhile, Mu Chenxi the Profound Array Sect of the Earth Spirit Alliance had already broken through the second barrier, causing a stir among the world.

These three seem to have become the only hope in the game!

Soon.

Mu Chenxi of the Profound Array Sect has broken through the third one!

This time, however, the Heavenly Evolution Sand Table in her hand shattered completely!

It turned to dust on the spot!

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"The Profound Array Sect's most precious treasure... is ruined?"

"Without this item, it will be very difficult for Mu Chenxi to continue breaking the formation!"

"Sigh, this place is indeed related to the First Heavenly Realm. Obtaining that treasure will be truly difficult!"

Everyone sighed in amazement.

Mu Chenxi's face was even paler at this moment. Seeing the Heavenly Evolution Sand Table in her hand shatter, her heart was bleeding!

That represents the culmination of the hard work and wisdom of hundreds of generations of Sect Master in the Profound Array Sect.

On the other side, Lu Xing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then placed his last piece.

The second game was broken instantly!

But, in that very instant!

Lu Xing's once black hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The world was utterly shocked.

Just how much effort did Lu Xing put in?

Before the third game, Lu Xing glanced at the chessboard, and his hair turned completely white!

Wrinkles have even started to appear on his face.

Life is slipping away!

Everyone in the room was shocked and speechless.

"Ah--"

A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out!

Everyone turned around and saw that among the Four Great Chess Saints invited by the Earth Wind Alliance, an old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he died on the spot!

Life force exhausted!

In the second game, they finally broke through!

Ahead, Ning Zhaoran stepped into the third game's starting area.

At this moment, the remaining three chess masters were also almost driven to madness.

"I refuse to accept this... Is there any game of chess in this world that we can't break?!"

"Even if it means burning everything, I will break the game!"

"Open it!"

The remaining three chess masters suddenly fell into a strange state.

Their souls, appearing outside their bodies, actually began to tremble!

With each child they taught Ning Zhaoran, their souls trembled more violently.

One son, one son, and another son!

The three great chess masters suddenly had their souls return to their bodies!

The three of them instantly vomited blood, collapsed to the ground, their bodies convulsing and foaming at the mouth!

"Three chess masters!"

"Quickly, bring me the elixir to nourish the soul! The three chess masters have injured their souls!"

"This is terrible! Quick, save the three of them!" they cried out in unison.

Many of the Xuanxian from the Earth Wind Alliance hurriedly spoke up!

Everyone in the room was shocked.

That's absolutely unbelievable.

"It's over. The Heavenly Evolution Sand Table has collapsed, Lu Xing's hair turned white after two games, and of the Four Great Chess Saints, one is dead and three are injured..."

"No one can break these nine great formations anymore!"

"A treasure has appeared, yet no one can obtain it!"

The entire arena fell silent, filled with extreme apprehension towards the chess game and the protective barrier before them!

But at that moment, another table made of bones suddenly disappeared.

"Who is this person? How could they possibly break the first chess puzzle?"

"Never seen before, they seem to be natives of Yellow Heaven Prefecture?"

"They're practically unknown..."

Everyone turned to look.

This person was none other than Xiao Yan.

At this moment, following the guidance of the First Immortal General within him, he broke through the first chess game.

"Heh heh, I'm the protagonist of this world!"

He was extremely excited. The gazes of everyone around him filled him with confidence, and he immediately walked to the second array plate, saying:

"Old Yang, quick, quickly teach me how to break through the second one!"

"Do you think I don't need to think?!"

Inside his body, Yang Miechen coldly said, "This chess game is terrifying beyond belief. Do you think it's easy?"

Xiao Yan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still said, "That's not what I meant... I'm sorry to trouble you, Elder Yang."

The First Immortal General, Yang Miechen, then fell silent, seemingly deep in thought!

"Eight vertical lines and ten horizontal lines!"

After a long while, the voice of the First Immortal General finally rang out!

Xiao Yan immediately began to act.

Before long, in the second game, they broke through!

Instantly, all eyes were on them!

"This person actually broke through the second game?"

"Moreover, he looked very relaxed, as if he were playing around!"

"Incredible!"

Everyone was astonished.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, walked confidently to the front of the third round!

This time, it took him even longer.

However, Yang Miechen eventually devised a solution to the predicament!

The third game was also won.

This time, the entire audience was shocked.

"This genius..."

"He actually won three games in a row all by himself?"

"Even more powerful than Little Chess Saint Lu Xing!"

The world was shocked.

Xiao Yan was already seated at the chessboard for the fourth game.

Behind him, a long path appeared.

"Brother, may we enter with you? You can choose the fortuitous opportunity first!"

"Yes, as long as you allow us to follow, we'll give you whatever you want!"

"Brother, it's such a waste for you to be born in Yellow Heaven Prefecture. Our Yue Family is a Golden Immortal-level Aristocratic Clan, and we invite you to join us!"

In an instant, countless people spoke up, trying to recruit and curry favor!

Xiao Yan was brimming with confidence at this moment!

While Elder Yang was still deep in thought, he turned to face the crowd and said with a cold smile:

"My name is Xiao Yan!"

"Today, anyone willing to become my follower can enter with me and receive unparalleled fortuitous opportunity!"

He pointed into the crowd!

"You, you, you, and you!"

"Come here, all of you!"

He was referring to almost exclusively the most beautiful Saintess from various sects!

Upon seeing this, many of the Saintess turned pale.

"That's outrageous!"

"What do you think you are?"

"Does he think he's an emperor who can choose his own concubines?"

Many of the Saintess were furious.

But some were also deep in thought.

"This person is so young, yet he has already solved three chess games in a row; his future is limitless..."

"Worth courting..."

"Let's go inside with him first!"

Immediately, more than a dozen beautiful young women stepped forward and followed behind him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

"Hahaha..."

He laughed loudly, his gaze sweeping around unabashedly, and suddenly landed on Qinglan and Xia Yao!

These two are top-tier beauties.

"And you two too!"

Upon seeing this, both Qinglan and Xia Yao's expressions turned cold!

Xiao Yan pointed to Lu Rang:

"Heh, let me tell you, although his cultivation level is decent, he simply can't get in here!"

"Only by following me can you seize this fortuitous opportunity!"

"Are you coming or not? If you come, I will grant you an unparalleled future!"

He's incredibly generous!

But Qinglan remained indifferent.

Xia Yao sneered, "You should solve this fourth chess puzzle first!"

Xiao Yan sneered, "I'm determined to break through, not just four, but nine!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and waited.

"Eleven vertically, seventeen horizontally!"

Soon after, the voice of the First Immortal General within him finally rang out!

Xiao Yan was overjoyed and made his move!

He made a series of moves, but failed to notice that the voice of Yang Miechen, the First Immortal General, was gradually fading!

Finally, in the fourth game, they broke through!

The entire audience was stunned!

"Heavens, the fourth one, is it broken?"

"A genius, a once-in-a-generation genius!"

"This must be the destined one; he is highly likely to receive the inheritance of the First Heavenly Realm..."

In an instant, everyone's eyes burned with fervor!

If breaking through three barriers before wasn't anything special, then breaking through the fourth barrier now completely proves that Xiao Yan has a bright future ahead of him!

"We are willing to follow you, Young Master!"

"Thank you for your kind offer Young Master!"

Immediately, many beautiful Saintess who had been hesitant or indifferent before stepped forward and followed behind Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan became even more smug. He turned to look at Xia Yao and Qinglan and said:

"I'm giving you one last chance!"

After saying that, he looked at Lu Rang and said:

"Lu Rang, is it? I see your cultivation is quite good. Come, bring them both over, and I'll bestow upon you the honor of being my first attendant..."

"Stay by my side, even if you're just a dog, and you'll have a bright future!"

He was arrogant and extremely smug!

Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was immediately puzzled.

I've never seen such an arrogant person since I left the mountain village...

"Hmm, you are indeed very good. I have a place to recommend to you. Come back to the village with me and raise pigs, how about it?"

Lu Rang countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with anger!

"Useless trash, how dare you try to make fun of me?!"

He roared, "If you don't want to, then stay here and watch! Once I obtain the inheritance of the First Heavenly Realm, you won't even have the chance to be my dog!"

He immediately turned around.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, quickly break the formation! Once the formation is broken, I will be yours."

A charming Saintess gave him a flirtatious wink!

"Young Master Xiao Yan, please lead us inside quickly!"

"Yes, quickly show your divine power!"

In an instant, the Saintess who had followed all spoke up!

Xiao Yan, with a broad smile, turned around, walked to the fifth chessboard, and whispered:

"Old Yang, quick, help me!"

However, within his body, the faint voice of Yang Miechen, the First Immortal General, resounded:

"Boy, I've broken through four great formations, and my divine soul is greatly depleted. This fifth chessboard is terrifying beyond measure. Just a glance at it almost caused my soul to scatter. Good luck... I... need to rest..."

Having said that, the First Immortal General within his body completely settled down, as if entering a state of hibernation!

Xiao Yan's face immediately turned green.

Holy crap, what's going on here?

At this crucial moment, with everyone watching and anticipating his breakthrough... his cheat code... failed him??

He was completely bewildered on the spot!
