The Black and White Heavenly King Falls
The surrounding disciples, including Nan Feng and Ziling, were all utterly shocked.
Just now, they seemed to sense a power that transcended time and space emanating from that chessboard.
However, they could not get close to him, nor could they grasp him.
They had no idea what had happened.
At this moment, however, Jiang Li's heart was filled with shock.
Because of the harmony of the game, he was just drawn into time and space, and witnessed events that occurred upstream in history.
He...
I understand everything now!
The Black and White Heavenly King at this moment...
It is the figure of the Black and White Heavenly King, who fought fiercely against alien races to protect humanity hundreds of thousands of years ago, rushing into the future!
He came to this life... to borrow a fortuitous opportunity!
Borrow from... the teacher!
"The teacher bestowed upon him a lifetime of fortuitous opportunity, granted him the full weight of sacred principles, and enabled him to take that step... and thus safeguard that lifetime..."
Jiang Li murmured.
What kind of power is this?
It has traversed the river of time and space...
In this life, the Black and White Heavenly King are reduced to mere human skin, transformed into an ominous presence, brimming with countless malevolent thoughts... Is this the price he pays for charging into the future?
He didn't know.
All he knew was that... the lifetime in which the Black and White Heavenly King lived was truly bitter and tragic!
In the end, only the Black and White Heavenly King were fighting alone; there was no one else in the world who could accompany them.
Therefore, he had no choice but to rush towards the future...
At that moment, a tear suddenly welled up in Jiang Li's eye!
The Master sits serenely downstream of time; what is he waiting for?
He bestowed upon the Black and White Heavenly King of the upper reaches of time the flawless cultivation of an emperor, imbued with the holy way, yet he could not personally descend upon that incarnation...
At this moment, Jiang Li was suddenly filled with an impulse.
He wanted to storm that sea area and join the battle!
The Black and White Heavenly King of that era were truly lonely!
And at this moment.
The Black and White Heavenly King slowly awoke.
He was like chaos, like someone just waking from a dream.
He suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Fan.
"Heibai are about to die, and I'd like to ask, if I may be so bold..."
The Black and White Heavenly King looked at Li Fan, and at that moment, he understood his mission in this life.
He has already seized his fortuitous opportunity; his time is drawing to a close.
But at this moment, he gained memories spanning the entire universe, and his mind was clear. Therefore, he had an unsolvable question in his heart!
Li Fan smiled at the Black and White Heavenly King, a hint of approval in his eyes.
The opponent's chess skills are indeed impressive, and he has exceptional talent; he's a promising player... It's a pity he's too old.
However, the opponent has now reached a new level in the art of chess.
"Please speak freely. Li Fan will tell you everything he knows."
He was quite nonchalant; after all, the old man was probably asking him about matters related to chess.
"Heibai would like to ask... is there anything that is troubling you, Senior?"
His eyes were filled with extreme tension!
He understood that this concerned a secret of the ages!
Such a supreme being, sitting steadily in the lower reaches of time, having taught so many disciples, must be waiting for something...
It is highly likely to be... an unparalleled enemy!
So, he really wanted to know!
What will the future hold...?
What could possibly be so powerful that even this senior couldn't escape?
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was taken aback. What could be troubling him?
But he then smiled, picked up the maze map beside him, and said:
"I don't know what troubles I'll face tomorrow, but today's troubles have already been resolved."
The Black and White Heavenly King looked at the maze map.
Hiss!
At that moment, he was deeply shaken!
"The Hidden Land... Is this senior waiting for the Hidden Land? Has he... uncovered the secrets of the Hidden Land?"
He was shocked.
A hidden place... that's a true taboo.
It is highly likely that this involves the source of the trouble...
This senior was indeed waiting!
"Will I, alone, withstand the calamities of eternity...?"
What a magnificent spirit!
He suddenly bowed deeply to Li Fan!
"No need for such formalities."
Li Fan smiled and said, "It is fate that we met."
The Black and White Heavenly King nodded deeply and said:
"Senior, this junior will take his leave."
His mission is complete.
It's time to leave.
"Alright, Jiang Li, you two see this old man off."
Li Fan spoke calmly.
He could tell that the old man seemed to be in poor health, and the roads in and around the village were difficult to travel on. If something happened to him on the road, it would be bad.
Therefore, it would be best to have Dugu Yuqing and others provide protection.
"Yes, sir!"
Jiang Li immediately spoke.
"Big Brother, can I... help see the old man off?"
At this moment, Xin Ning spoke up and asked a question.
Li Fan smiled and said, "Of course."
Xin Ning is a kind-hearted person, and he is happy to see that.
Immediately, Xin Ning, Dugu Yuqing, and the others also saw them off.
Stepping out of the Small Courtyard, the Black and White Heavenly King stared at the four characters "Unique Leisurely Courtyard" (无二闲庭), muttering to themselves:
"Unique, truly unique..."
Before long, they left the mountain village.
Just as they left the mountain village, the aura emanating from the King of Black and White suddenly changed strangely. His face became extremely ferocious, as if he were enduring some unspeakable pain!
A great calamity, a great terror, a great mystery are descending!
"Senior!"
Jiang Li hurriedly stepped forward.
"Don't worry about me!"
But the Black and White Heavenly King stopped him.
The Black and White Heavenly King smiled as best they could and said:
"I have fulfilled my mission. To have met this senior in this lifetime, I have no regrets even in death."
"I survived that lifetime... In this lifetime, with Senior Li and all of you here, I believe... there is still hope for humanity!"
"Rising from blood and fire, you will ultimately become humanity's strongest support."
He looked at Xin Ning and said:
"If possible... I want to return to the Devil Realm as soon as possible. Where... is the key..."
Before he could finish speaking, some great calamity that transcended time and space descended, and his soul instantly shattered!
He has traveled through time and space to borrow a lifetime's fortuitous opportunity, revealing the secrets of that time and space, which has triggered murderous intent between heaven and earth!
"Grow up... grow up quickly..."
Before their demise, the Black and White Heavenly King let out a cry from the depths of their souls!
Then, suddenly, the King of Black and White was annihilated, his soul and spirit destroyed!
The Black and White Heavenly King... transformed into a human skin.
A shriveled human skin lay at the village entrance.
Jiang Li suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down her face!
He stepped forward, picked up the skin of the Black and White Heavenly King, his hands trembling!
Dugu Yuqing and the others were equally shocked.
"What... exactly happened...?"
"What happened..."
"That's terrifying..."
They were all shocked.
What kind of power could turn the mighty Black and White Heavenly King into human skin in an instant?
Dugu Yuqing murmured, "It's the backlash of time."
"No one can arbitrarily rush into the future, nor can anyone freely return to the past... Everything comes at a price, a terrible price."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ning's large eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Jiang Li and said:
"What exactly did you see before that?"
Jiang Li looked at his many Senior Brothers and said:
"A catastrophe... a catastrophe that spans the past, present, and future."
"The Black and White Heavenly King borrowed a lifetime's worth of cultivation from their master to suppress an entire era... but calamity will eventually descend."
He murmured, "We need to grow quickly!"
"Growth through blood and fire!"
At this moment, Jiang Li felt an unprecedented sense of urgency!
On that Forbidden Sea, the figure of the Emperor of Black and White, Dugu, facing his enemy...
"A holy descent... Immortal Tribulation... an ancient catastrophe..."
Qing Chen murmured to himself at that moment:
"Did our master train us so that we would have more strength when facing calamity?"
Having experienced the Three Great Heavenly Realms, they glimpsed many profound secrets.
"We must grow rapidly... to experience bloodshed and chaos, to hone ourselves through life-or-death battles!"
Jiang Li suddenly looked at Dugu Yuqing and the others, his eyes filled with unwavering determination!
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and the others couldn't help but nod in agreement!
"Indeed, only in battle can the art of swordsmanship be honed to its sharpest edge..."
Dugu Yuqing murmured.
"The Devil Realm... Should I go back?"
Xin Ning murmured to herself.
