Lin Xun's figure splintered as he charged ahead, his might drowning out everything around.

Boom!

He interpreted his dao, calling upon layers of bright Law Powers to drift around him.

As he punched out, a white figure at the front looked as though it was battered by a storm. It was instantly shattered and was swallowed up by the fist force.

The figure had the aura and appearance of Zhi Bai, but it ultimately wasn’t him, having neither his wisdom, nor his will, nor his mastery over his cultivation.

The figure was very powerful, just not enough to stop Lin Xun’s onslaught.

Rumble!

As Lin Xun pushed forward with his fist, all the figures that came charging at him were easily killed and devoured.

“They have power, but their power is inadequate,” said Lin Xun indifferently.

He knew that Zhi Bai could hear him.

Sure enough, Zhi Bai's voice rang out the next moment, “A chess game goes from simple to complex, and every big impact is executed in silence. Although you have great momentum at the moment, Brother Lin, in a while…I hope that you can still maintain it.”

The tone was calm.

Lin Xun raised his brows, then scanned this chess world. All the eyes could see were intersections of black and white. The grids were as numerous as stars in the sky as they expanded into the horizon.

“I don't want to waste my time, and I can't possibly use all of my energy here, so next, I will use thunderous methods. I also hope that you…will be able to hold up.”

As Lin Xun's voice rang out, an obscure dao light surged around him like vaporizing chaos.

He was like a sky-piercing divine sword that finally revealed its peerlessly sharp edge.

When he took a step, the grid under his feet suddenly produced a terrifying confinement power. This power formed wind blades of light and dark grand daos, which then attempted to suppress him.

The seemingly normal grid was actually a cage that functioned like a restrictive rune array, capable of confinement and suppression!

Boom!

A deafening sound resounded when the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Xun utterly crushed the imprisoning force. The rain of wind blades exploded inch by inch mid flight.

Without looking at the result, Lin Xun moved to the next grid.

In an instant, countless killing auras manifested. The whole board also changed this time as its might climbed by a huge chunk.

Yet, Lin Xun’s reaction was to put his hands behind his back. From the obscure dao light around him, countless eye-piercing Taixuan sword qi emerged and whistled out.

Omni-Direction Sword Rain!

In just seconds, the various killing auras installed in the second grid were destroyed!

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

“Impressive.”

Watching what happened inside the Black and White Chess Game as he controlled it, Zhi Bai couldn't help but sigh with emotions. Lin Xun is definitely a heaven-defying elite among this generation.

No wonder he could kill characters like Huangfu Shaonong and Kong Zhao. He’s indeed powerful beyond compare.

However, this realization only made Zhi Bai more determined and calm.

He had the same confidence in his own dao!

Two Polarities of Chess!

With a thought from Zhi Bai, light and darkness started circling on the third grid that Lin Xun had just stepped on, forming a wheel of light.

Inside the wheel, yin and yang mingled, and clear and turbid was brilliantly divided. From it, one could vaguely feel the grandeur of the birth and division of heaven and earth at the beginning of chaos.

With an unperturbed look, Lin Xun extended a finger.

Bang!

The wheel of black and white light burst.

“Stream of Darkness!” Zhi Bai's gaze was also unperturbed. The environment in the board changed once again as a torrent of darkness materialized like how nightfall would invade the world.

Its power was a level above Two Polarities of Chess.

Boom!

A Hornless Ice Dragon appeared beneath Lin Xun's feet and rose into the air with its head held high. Its huge, shiny ice figure twisted around and stirred up the torrent of darkness.

“Light Eternal!”

“Ant Swallows Elephant!”

“Undercurrent Myriad Strikes!”

“Gods Are Passionless!”

“Invisible Circle of Confinement!”

......

In the following time, Zhi Bai was like a chess master, relaxed as he drove his pieces and relentlessly targeted the pawn that was Lin Xun.

Meanwhile, inside the chess game, Lin Xun was unstoppable as he charged forward. He smoothly countered every move thrown at him like a sharp blade splitting bamboo!

This was an unprecedented game of chess.

The only unconventional thing was that Lin Xun was inside the game whereas Zhi Bai was outside, all the while staging thrilling scenes of battle.

There were constant explosions on the board. All sorts of horrifying phenomena appeared at times, tumbling and stirring.

The crowd couldn’t see what was happening inside, for this was the Great Dao Field of Zhi Bai, the embodiment of his entire cultivation. Without personally being in the chess game, one could not experience the danger of it.

Otherwise, they would have been shaken immensely by the world-class battle that was occuring inside.

Whether it was Lin Xun or Zhi Bai, the skills they were displaying at this moment could be described as the very peak of the Supreme Saint-King Stage. The power released from merely their cultivation had also reached a level that could startle the nebula.

As time passed, however, Zhi Bai's expression gradually turned grave.

Lin Xun's intrusion into the chess game was tantamount to placing himself at a perilous disadvantage before the match even started.

Despite that, he was able to kill his way forward, crossing hurdles and crushing obstacles in an invincible fashion!

Although Zhi Bai had long been aware of Lin Xun’s terror, he was still in disbelief at the moment.

Of note, the Black and White Chess Game was like a world under his control. He was the overlord who manipulated its fate!

However, every single one of the various moves he had performed to block and attack Lin Xun ended up being shattered.

“Thirty-Six Paths Of Flaming Galaxy!” Zhi Bai put his cultivation into full operation and executed his trump card with a solemn expression.

This battle was the toughest one he had encountered in his cultivation, and Lin Xun was also the toughest nut to crack so far.

No one else had ever come close!

Facing this reality, however, his fighting spirit only burned even hotter, and at this moment, it completely exploded.

The next second, eighteen flames of light and eighteen flames of darkness converged. Like thirty-six huge dragons, they swept through the sky and incinerated everything!

Such a scene could terrify devils and gods.

Lin Xun tilted his head up. As his eyes reflected the fiery galaxy attack, the fighting spirit deep in his heart was also completely ignited.

His right hand finally moved from his back and struck at the sky.

Kaboom!

The fist force was like a dragon flying out of the abyss and up with a might that could engulf the sky and swallow all daos.

All it had taken was one punch for the sky full of flames to crumble. Even the entire chess world shook violently.

Zhi Bai faltered slightly, and his pupils shrank.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

He tread alone on the grids, wiping out darkness and crushing light alike, invincible and unstoppable all the way through!

Zhi Bai took a deep breath, but a hint of madness flashed across his eyes.

Rustle!

Black and white blended together and coalesced into a sword. A terrifying Law Power gushed out from the surrounding grids and entered this sword.

The naked eye could see how fast the aura of the sword soared!

The first of Six Scenarios of Chess – Cutting Off All Routes!

Chop!

As Zhi Bai's mind moved, the sword, whose might had climbed to the extreme, pulled up the fabric of space of the chess world and fiercely slashed down.

Under its blade, everything was cut.

Thus it was called ‘Cutting Off All Routes’!

Lin Xun’s expression finally changed. He came to a brief halt, and behind him, a chaotic luster appeared and took the shape of a furnace.

Bang bang bang!

The chaos furnace parried the sword in shocking collisions. Immediately after, it started to steam, which made it look like it was expanding infinitely all of a sudden.

The sword fell into the furnace and was melted down to the last bit in crashing roars!

The moment that happened, the mysteries contained in the sword surged into Lin Xun's mind like a tidal wave, allowing him to gain insight into its nature.

“Not bad, even though we walk different paths, I can tell that this attack of yours is already at the peak of what this stage can bring into play. Still, its offensive power isn’t enough,” commented Lin Xun nonchalantly.

Zhi Bai's eyes glazed over as if he was somewhat unable to believe this. The Six Scenarios of Chess was already his best offensive set of skills.

The first scenario Cutting Off All Routes could easily kill a first realm quasi-Emperor!

Yet, the other party had refined it with his dao power in one fell swoop.…

After hearing Lin Xun's comment, a stubborn unwillingness to yield arose in Zhi Bai's heart. It was as though he had been looked down upon, which he absolutely could not stand.

“I’d like to see how many more you can block, Brother Lin.” A sharp glint swirled in Zhi Bai's eyes.

Boom!

Inside the chess world, another sword qi coalesced, half black and half white in color as it had been formed by pure great dao law powers.

As soon as it took shape, there was a surge of dao sounds. The sword also chanted resoundingly as if expressing its fury.

The second scenario of chess – Spilled Water!

The sword struck like spilled water. It could not be retrieved!

Compared to Cutting Off All Routes, this sword qi possessed an icy and resolute aura that was vaguely similar to Lin Xun’s No Escape.

As a matter of fact, the instant Lin Xun saw the sword qi, he did not hesitate to use No Escape.

Battle Emperor Mo Yang had once said that despite having gone to countless battles and killed countless people during her time, she actually knew only one strike, and it was No Escape!

The profound mysteries and power of it could already benefit for the rest of his life as it was a complete Emperor heritage in itself.

There were no surprises with the result.

Zhi Bai's sword qi was crushed. It cracked inch by inch and dissipated into a rain of light.

The sweeping force of No Escape caused the chessboard to quake once again.

Under its extensive impact, Zhi Bai's face visibly paled and his spirit was shaken to the point he nearly coughed up blood.

He took a deep breath, and madness filled his eyes. His qi and spirit were aflame as he reserved nothing to launch an onslaught.

The third scenario of chess, Godly Concealment!

The fourth scenario, No Way Out!

The fifth scenario, Nirvana Soul!

The sixth scenario, The Big Nothing!

The densely-packed black and white grids were floating in the chess world. Sword qi after sword qi split the sky and stirred the nine heavens with their chants.

The entire board was covered in an unprecedented storm of sword qi!

Even Mi Wuya, Yue Ruhuo, and those outside suddenly perceived a terrifying breath that far exceeded its predecessor from the chessboard as it was catalyzed to the fullest.

Some felt their scalps tingle and their blood quickly freezing, while they themselves were close to suffocating!

This was undoubtedly the extreme manifestation of Zhi Bai's entire cultivation. Such an attack was bound to be horrifying beyond imagination!

Would Lin Xun, who had long caught up in this unprecedented chess game, be able to resist such killing power?
