Chapter 392: Chapter 349 Summoning the Saint Emperor_1
The chess formation suddenly transformed!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As five hundred people lined up according to the Five Elements, in an instant, the black chess camp seemed to merge into one!
It was as though a dragon had been given eyes, or a tiger had sprouted wings!
The Qian Tian Great Saint’s killing chess formation had now reached its grand momentum!
“Three Lives Chess Array… Life creates heavens, life creates earth, life creates humans… With the trinity of heaven, earth, and man, invincibility is assured!”
In the great hall, the Qian Tian Great Saint bellowed!
A chess piece fiercely landed.
Murderous aura billowed, and the spirit soared to the skies; this killing array could slaughter Great Saints!
This was the result of Qian Tian Great Saint’s contemplation over hundreds of thousands of years!
At this moment, his eyes were filled with a certain madness!
“Brat, if I gave you time, I might indeed be pressured by you, but alas, you don’t have the chance to grow!”
“How can you withstand the grand chess array formed from the hundred thousand years of my contemplation!”
He laughed hideously!
While playing chess, he had already felt it—Jiang Li’s chess talent… might very well be stronger than his own!
But he had contemplated the Three Lives Chess Array for several hundred thousand years before coming here.
Every variation.
Every formation.
Every killing intent.
He had simulated them all!
With a prepared strategy against an unprepared opponent, how could Jiang Li, despite his exceptional talent, compete with his hundreds of thousands of years’ worth of efforts in a moment of urgency?!
It was truly invincible!
But at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly closed his eyes!
The killing array was already approaching!
He could even sense every killing intent and every danger within the opponent’s array.
It was like an Ambush from Ten Sides.
It was almost a fusion of dao, the way of heaven, the way of earth, the way of man…
“Humans come to life because of heaven and earth, and heaven and earth thrive because of humans!”
Suddenly, in Jiang Li’s mind, Li Fan’s words once again flickered by!
Humans…
Because of heaven and earth, they are born!
Heaven and earth thrive because of humans!
At this instant, Jiang Li suddenly raised his hand!
Within the chess domain.
Wu Dade and the other four suddenly landed on different chess positions.
Likewise arranged according to the Five Elements.
“Heaven and earth give birth to humans, they’re certainly not mere fodder, not mere chess pieces!”
“Using the lives of the common people as chess pieces, although one might dominate the world, it ultimately won’t last!”
“Everyone is not a chess piece for anyone… Heaven and earth thrive because of humans!”
At this moment, Jiang Li’s countless chess formations suddenly dissipated!
His own dominion projection within the chess domain vanished in an instant.
All strength thunderously converged onto Wu Dade, Ji Tianpan, and the other three!
In that moment, Jiang Li cast aside heaven and earth.
And he gave everything to humanity!
“We… are no longer controlled by the chess domain?!”
Ji Tianpan immediately showed a shocked expression; they clearly felt… they had gained endless power!
“I understand now… Brother, leave it to me!”
Wu Dade too let out a long howl, and in an instant, divine brilliance radiated from his body!
“We… are the masters!”
“Kill!”
He, carrying the power of countless paths of chess, took the initiative to strike at the grand array of the Qiantian Chess Saint.
Ji Tianpan and the others also followed closely behind.
At this moment, the entire chess domain boiled over because of them.
—Within the chess domain, everything was a chess piece.
But now, Jiang Li bestowed divine-like power upon the five of them.
This moment sparked a great movement of the Five Elements; the chess domain thundered, resonating with the myriad dao around Wu Dade and the others.
This was the embodiment of the path of chess; Jiang Li’s play had reached the chess domain’s capacity limit!
The chess domain began to collapse!
Innumerable divine lights fiercely converged on them, and with each lift of their hands, each step they took, they seemed to be blessed with the strength of an ancient force.
“No… how can they move, possessing such divine might…”
“Help!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Those of the Human Race who followed the Celestial Tribe willing to become chess pieces were trembling.
Because they felt as though they were facing Divine Spirits!
The five charged forward like five war gods, shattering everything!
The chess formation exploded!
Countless talents of the Human Race perished!
“No… I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
Tian Zhiming trembled; he was desperate to escape, but from the moment he took his place, he was already a chess piece, completely unable to move on his own!
“I shouldn’t die, it should be Ao Wushuang who dies… No!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Tian Zhiming shouted.
But the overwhelming presence came crashing down!
The Qian Tian Great Saint’s chess formation burst apart, and Tian Zhiming was turned directly into ash!
The formation was broken!
The frenzied spirit swept through the entire chess domain.
Warriors of the Ancient Clan wailed, death played out continuously!
“Run for your lives!”
Jīnlán Saint Monarch and the others shook; they urgently cried out, leading the clan’s talents and others, taking advantage of the chess domain’s collapse, escaping to the sky!
And at this moment.
Inside the Divine Temple.
Upon the Stone Turtle, the chess game was set!
Suddenly, Wu Dade, Ji Tianpan, and three others, all reappeared in the great hall.
And many from the Ancient Clans, such as Saint Monarchs and Saints, also staggered into view!
But, tens of thousands from the Holy Clan… had perished in large numbers!
Less than a hundred had managed to escape alive!
The losses were extremely heavy!
“What happened…”
Tian Haoyuan’s face was ashen as he looked towards the chess game inside the temple!
Under everyone’s gaze, they saw Qian Tian Great Saint, his whole body trembling!
“No——”
His face was ghastly as he suddenly spouted a mouthful of fresh blood!
“Pfft!”
“How could this be… My chess array… how could it be broken?!”
Desperation and unwillingness filled the eyes of Qian Tian Great Saint!
It was his hundreds of thousands of years of hard work; the unity of Heaven, Earth, and Man’s Way, clearly invincible…
And across from him, at this moment, Jiang Li was slowly opening his eyes.
“You lost.”
“Humans, indeed, are chess pieces, but humans can also defy the heavens.”
“There’s a saying in chess, ‘Man is destined to win over heaven.’
“From on high, treating people as chess pieces, you fail to touch the true essence of the path of chess.”
“The ultimate goal of the path of chess is not to play with the lives of mortals or make a farce of spirits, but rather to… fight against the heavens and establish destinies for the living!”
At that moment, Jiang Li’s aura changed dramatically!
He… directly breached from the Siyao Realm into the Jade Pivot Realm!
Grandmaster!
He had become a Chess Grandmaster!
Inside the Divine Temple, countless rules of chess were roaring even louder!
Seeing this, the remnants of the various clans were all shaken.
“Qian Tian Great Saint… actually lost, to a young man?!”
“How is this possible? He is the successor of the Chess Emperor, an invincible Great Saint…”
“What exactly is the background of this young man?!”
As they spoke, their voices trembled with emotion!
“I lost… No… I will not lose!”
In the eyes of the elderly Qiantian Chess Saint, a surge of resentment and hatred flashed!
“I will burn the blood of the path of chess, tear open the causal river of the path of chess, turn back time, and borrow a chance from my clan’s Chess Emperor Qiankun, requesting a killing formation… to exterminate all chess path inheritance related to you!”
He burned his chess path’s essence blood, and at the same time, he suddenly turned around, grabbed Jin Qintian, and pulled him over!
“Your blood contains the imprint of the Imperial Path… lend me a helping hand!”
He violently drained all of Jin Qintian’s blood, burning it!
Jin Qintian perished on the spot!
“Qintian!”
Ying Xiaoxiao, upon seeing this, was struck with grief and rage and desperately charged toward Qian Tian Great Saint!
“Seeking death!”
Qian Tian Great Saint, with a fierce expression, suddenly slapped down, and Ying Xiaoxiao died on the spot!
They were all dead!
“Qian Tian! Our clan will be at odds with you to the death!”
Witnessing this scene, Jin Lan Saint Monarch, Lord Jin Feng, and the others were filled with rage and the urge to tear him to pieces!
This was now a vendetta!
But at this moment, Qian Tian Great Saint had completely lost his mind, laughing maniacally while the fire of his life burned fiercely.
The causal river of chess was boiling at this moment!
This was a forbidden technique, retracing all the rivers of time related to the path of chess, borrowing mana from past chess masters, seeking a formation to kill the enemies of the current era!
This forbidden technique… would stir up the past, present, and future of this world, all related to the path of chess!
The price would be his life!
In an instant, the river of time and causality flowed in reverse, and countless fragments of years reappeared!
Finally, in a certain section of the river of past years, suddenly a figure emerged!
It was a Saint Emperor who came with hands behind his back, and every step he took seemed to carry terrifying chess forces, exploding into a radiant light like the sun behind him.
He appeared like a Godmaster!
“In today’s world, someone has actually evolved the true Three Lives Chess Array, which surprises this emperor… but not a descendant of mine… ”
This figure murmured to himself.
“No matter, if you seek to kill my last descendant, than I shall let you, and all related chess inheritance, be annihilated!”
With a raise of his hand, a terrifying Saint Emperor Level chess array rolled in from the river of time, aiming to kill Jiang Li!
This Chess Emperor’s killing array, spanning the river of years, was about to descend with a terrifying and overwhelming presence.
Jiang Li’s face slightly changed.
Because this was a Great Saint burning his own life to request a past Chess Saint Emperor to strike and kill him!
Even if Jiang Li’s chess talent was against the heavens, he was far from being able to contend with a Chess Saint Emperor at this point!
“Dead dog, make your move!”
Wu Dade, seeing this scene, suddenly became anxious.
But the Big Black Dog remained very calm, saying:
“What’s the rush? Burning chess essence blood to awaken the river of time… but in the river of time, there’s not just one Chess Saint Emperor.”
At these words, Wu Dade was momentarily stunned.
What did he mean?
Could it be that the opponent had stirred the master?!
He was immediately filled with anticipation!
But, the next moment, just as the Big Black Dog had finished speaking, from another part of space-time, from another slice of years, a strange fluctuation came through.
Black and white intertwined, light and dark merged, immortals and demons coexisted…
Another figure emerged from the river of time.
He came with hands behind his back, his bearing majestic and heroic, with a forbidden sea behind him, containing various heaven-reaching auras, terrifying to the extreme.
He walked out from the ominous and strange.
His eyes shone like the starry sky, one black, one white!
In an instant, the myriads of star rivers seemed to tremble because of him!
