A Soft Sigh

A murderous aura filled the sky above the entire Profound Heaven Prefecture, shocking everyone in the world!

Outside the Taiyan Holy Land, everyone was utterly horrified!

"Such terrifying killing intent! Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would probably be annihilated by it!"

"This killing formation far surpasses Chen Xuanbei's earlier techniques... This belongs to... Jiang Li?"

"Fortunately, fortunately this killing formation was concealed and only targeted Chen Xuanbei; otherwise, in that instant, countless of us would have died!"

Everyone in the celestial realm was utterly astonished.

"Senior Li's casual guidance in a single game of chess was actually so terrifying..."

Huo Ling'er was shocked.

Although she had long known that what Li Fan had taught Jiang Li was definitely not simple, the power that erupted at this moment still made her feel incredible.

"What? This was all pointed out by Senior Li in just one game of chess?"

The Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were even more shocked.

"Only Senior Li possesses such cultivation..."

Dugu Chenlu sighed and said:

"Don't forget, Senior Li was someone who guided an immortal through a single game of chess..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became complicated.

Realizing this, their shock gradually subsided, and they felt that everything was acceptable.

After all, he is Senior Li.

However, Zhou Wenyuan and the others from the Chess Immortal Sect were all dumbfounded.

"No... how is this possible? The Holy Son lost?"

Zhou Wenyuan murmured, his old eyes filled with disbelief:

"Jiang Li is just a cripple, so why, why could he defeat the Holy Son?! He's clearly already crippled!"

He can't accept it!

This outcome is unacceptable to him and to the entire Chess Immortal Sect...

Could it be that Jiang Li, whom they dismissed as a cripple, is actually the real genius?

How could they possibly crush a reborn person?

No!

No way!!

If that's the case, then for their Chess Immortal Sect, it would be an unbearable loss and an insult.

"Kill him, Chen Xuanbei, use that chess piece to kill him!"

Zhou Wenyuan roared in anger!

At that moment, he truly panicked.

Jiang Li was so humiliated by the Chess Immortal Sect, he must harbor deep hatred for them. Now, he's actually about to rise to power...

If we allow him to grow, it would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble, and the Chess Immortal Sect would likely have another formidable enemy in the future.

We must not let this go unchecked.

It must be nipped in the bud!

And on one side of the chessboard in the Taiyan Holy Land.

Chen Xuanbei stared intently at the chessboard.

He was completely petrified.

His pupils shone with utter shock, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing...

No... no...

"How could you possibly have the skill level of an equal player?"

"Such a change is nothing short of defying the heavens; it touches upon the very essence of the game. Even at my peak, I couldn't have made this move..."

"No--"

He shouted loudly!

A look of resentment appeared on his pale face, and then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Puff!"

He seemed to have lost all his energy; his body was trembling!

"My plan is complete."

Jiang Li spoke calmly, saying, "With this one move, you will be reduced to ashes."

He picked up a chess piece.

He looked calmly at Chen Xuanbei and said:

Do you have any last words?

The terrifying killing formation revealed by the chessboard has sealed off this place, and no one can save Chen Xuanbei.

Blood trickled from the corner of Chen Xuanbei's mouth.

He looked at Jiang Li, a maniacal smile spreading across his face.

"Last words?"

"You ant, do you really think... you can kill me?"

The ancient white chess piece had now appeared in his palm!

"With this chess piece, no one can kill me in this lifetime!"

"You have won against me... but the game of chess cannot kill me! I, however, can use this chess piece to kill you!"

He said menacingly.

"You made a bet with Alliance Leader Huo Ling'er, and you've lost. You should commit suicide."

Jiang Li simply spoke calmly.

"Bet?"

Chen Xuanbei burst into laughter, saying, "What utter nonsense! You think you can control me with a bet?"

"I have the power to kill all of you, so why should I be bound by a bet?"

He stared at Chen Xuanbei, his expression sinister, and said:

Where is the chessboard?

"Tell me! You've definitely seen it!"

He showed no sign of defeat; on the contrary, he was threatening them!

Because he was confident that with that white piece, he was invincible!

With his absolute strength overwhelming everyone in this world, how could he possibly be willing to abide by that so-called bet?

Moreover, he was certain that Jiang Li had seen the Boundless Chessboard!

Only the Boundless Chessboard could elevate Jiang Li's strength to such a level so quickly!

Jiang Li, a mere mortal, achieved such accomplishments in just half a day. What if it were me?

You must know that you are an immortal celestial lord reborn!

Perhaps I really will be able to cross that threshold and enter the ranks of the King of Immortality!

His heart burned with passion!

However, Jiang Li simply looked at him indifferently.

"Therefore, I have no choice but to make my move..."

The white piece in his hand landed on the chessboard.

Instantly, a terrifying killing formation, radiating boundless power, surged towards Chen Xuanbei!

Space shattered!

Mountain collapse!

The earth cracked open, creating a fissure!

The white clouds drifting above the Taiyan Holy Land instantly disintegrated!

This is an unparalleled killing formation, a deadly strike that would even make a Taiyi Golden Immortal bleed!

"Who can hurt me!"

Chen Xuanbei, holding the white chess piece, forced out a drop of his Essence Blood!

He is awakening this chess piece!

At that very moment, a terrifying aura surpassing even immortality suddenly descended in countless streams!

A terrifying aura spread throughout the heavens!

At this moment, countless people couldn't help but kneel down, trembling as they looked towards Profound Heaven Prefecture!

"What happened?"

"... Heavens, the aura of immortality... or even beyond immortality?"

Countless sects and forces were in an uproar!

In the airspace above the Taiyan Holy Land, even the elites of the Profound Heaven Alliance prostrated themselves on the ground, unable to bear it any longer!

Only Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning were able to persevere.

However, they were also under immense pressure, their faces covered in sweat.

Opposite them, the group from the Chess Immortal Sect trembled completely!

"No... what is this aura? How can it be so terrifying? Could it be... could it be that chess piece...?"

Zhou Wenyuan froze, staring at the white chess piece in Chen Xuanbei's hand, a flood of terrifying legends washing over him...

It can exude such an aura that transcends immortality...

Could it be a chess piece once used by some legendary figure???

"No, Chen Xuanbei, what exactly is his background...?"

Zhou Wenyuan suddenly felt a wave of fear.

It should be known that even the main sect of their Chess Immortal Sect in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Lord of Wuhui Immortal City, spent his entire life searching for the traces of that being...

And Chen Xuanbei actually possessed a chess piece that was connected to that being...

If word gets out, the entire Immortal Realm will likely be shaken, and even Immortal Lord Wu Hui will personally intervene!

"You forced me to do this!"

"With this white piece, I am invincible!"

"Even if the Celestial King comes, I will not be afraid!"

Chen Xuanbei grinned maliciously!

His divine power surged wildly into the white pieces!

At this moment, he is protected by the Great Dao, which transcends immortality, and is impervious to all laws!

A wisp of supreme aura was released, and the killing array that had enveloped this area instantly collapsed and ceased to exist!

Jiang Li looked at Chen Xuanbei and sighed deeply.

Even at this point, is it still impossible to do anything to the other side?

"Useless trash, go to hell!"

Chen Xuanbei felt his spiritual energy was almost depleted; he had to kill Jiang Li immediately!

But, at this very moment...

The white piece in his hand let out a soft sigh.

It was like a sigh from countless years ago, echoing across time and space!

Chen Xuanbei froze instantly.

He glanced instinctively at the white piece in his hand, his eyes filled with terror.

"No... this..."

He seemed to sense something, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.

But before he could react, the chess piece suddenly began to aggressively absorb his immortal spiritual power!

Like a World-Ending vortex, it devoured all his spiritual power!

At that moment, Chen Xuanbei collapsed to the ground, his muscles atrophied, his whole body convulsed, and his pupils stared blankly!

The ancient white chess piece, having absorbed enough immortal spiritual energy, suddenly flew off in a certain direction on its own!

That's... the direction of the Cangli Mountain Range!

As the chess piece flew away, the terrifying pressure vanished instantly.

Everyone present was shocked and surprised, not knowing what had happened.

That white piece, which was crucial to immortality... just vanished like that?!
