Chapter 1665: The Black and White Pieces
A young man wearing an armor forged with the hide of an ancient beast, with short, golden hair, black eyes, and a face full of scars came from the entrance of the city.
His aura was immeasurable like a deep abyss in the ocean.
The faint destructive will bursting out of his body, in particular, was causing the rift nearby to tremble.
Yu Mingfou and Qing Yuanzi no longer stood out as much compared to him.
"Luo Yan is here!"
The person had grabbed the attention of the cultivators.
Even Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
He had sensed a mysterious energy flowing inside Luo Yan's body. It was quite similar to the energy inside Xu Xianzhi's body, but they were slightly different in nature.
"Luo Yan, the first core disciple of the Superfluous Lifeless Sect, one of the thirteen Supreme Daoism factions. He was born with the Flesh of Quietus from the ancient era."
The Blood-Eye Human Immortal lowered his voice, "This man is pretty reckless, rumors say he has probed the Dao Realm, and is attempting to break through to the Minor Success Stage."
The astonishment in Qin Nan's eyes grew stronger.
The cultivation of these core disciples of the Supreme Daoism factions had greatly surpassed his expectations. He could not afford to underestimate any of them.
"The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has thirteen Supreme Daoism factions, I wonder how many core disciples of these factions are going to show up?"
Qin Nan murmured.
Meanwhile, the chessboard in the air...
Luo Yan made his move, placing a black chess piece. Its magnificent will surprisingly encapsulated Yu Mingfou and Qing Yuanzi's will and transformed into a peerless sword.
The white chess pieces suddenly lost their brilliance.
"Luo Yan, you're pretty boastful too, but I don't mind telling you that you are less worthy than an ant in my eyes."
Despite feeling the pressure growing, Xiu Shenliang did not forget to utter the scornful comments as he unleashed his illusionary intent.
"Xiu Shenliang, are you still reluctant to take the words back?"
Two great roars appeared as two magnificent will burst out from two of the palaces, joining the chessboard.
One of them was a strong murderous intent, like that of a peerless killing immortal.
The other was engulfed in flames, as if they were going to burn everything into ashes.
Two other Peerless Geniuses found Xiu Shenliang's arrogance an eyesore, and had decided to join the battle too.
"Fellow cultivators, do you really think the people of the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate aren't around?"
A displeased voice echoed in the air. An illusionary intent that was completely different from Xiu Shenliang's placed several white chess pieces on the chessboard.
The person was another core disciple of the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate, a Peerless Genius too.
Even though the man was not really pleased with Xiu Shenliang, he had no choice but to offer his help in a situation like this.
"HAHA, a game of Go! I don't know how to play it, so you all aren't allowed to play it either!"
A great burst of laughter exploded.
A young man whose face was covered in purple runes landed at the center of the chessboard.
The young man shoved his hands, unleashing two streams of will attacking the Peerless Geniuses on both sides. A wisp of Dao Glow bursting out of his palms caught everyone's attention.
Qin Nan was familiar with the man, he was one of the core disciples of the South World Immortal Emperor, Ding Tianqi who was suffering from a dissociative disorder.
However, the person had grown even stronger. He had now achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm.
"Minor...Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm?"
The eyes of the cultivators widened in disbelief.
"Ding Tianqi, you've achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm?"
Luo Yan was startled too. He quickly collected his thoughts, as his aura skyrocketed once again, "But still, you are still no match against me, Luo Yan even with your Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm."
He performed a hand seal, unleashing the Will of Quietus in his body.
"Ding Tianqi, you're nothing even if you've achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm. How dare you disturb my game of Go, piss off!"
Despite the words he uttered, Xiu Shenliang's figure tensed as he gathered all his will.
He had only probed the Dao Realm.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Thunderous explosions echoed across the city.
No one would expect that Xiu Shenliang's arrogant behavior would eventually turn into a mixed battle.
The black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard, each side would gain the upper hand at times.
Suddenly, a white chess piece shattered the black piece that Yu Mingfou had placed. The man groaned and went a few steps back after receiving certain damage.
"Xiu Shenliang, the Immortal Ancient place hasn't shown up yet. It's only a game of Go, yet you dare execute such killing blow? If that's the case, I don't mind playing a game with you!"
An imperious voice said. Following it, a terrifying intent soared into the clouds and shook the streets.
The cultivators were astounded.
It was the will of an Earth Immortal Realm authority!
"What now? Your disciple has lost, so you're planning to get your revenge?"
Another imperious voice harrumphed coldly, as a terrifying intent in the form of a dragon hand resisted the intent.
Powerful gusts immediately swept the city.
The Earth Immortal of the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate had made his move too.
"Friends, this is supposed to be a battle between the Human Immortals. Isn't it inappropriate for us to be involved?"
A voice came from the other direction.
"I agree, if this was made known to the public, the whole world is going to laugh at us."
"Laugh at us? The old donkey ran out of patience first, it has nothing to do with the Sanqing Ancient Sect!"
"If that's the case, let's fight then!"
Several voices appeared, followed by terrifying auras.
The walls and the ground of the Flowing Moon Dao City were encapsulated in a mystical glow, to protect itself from the auras.
Meanwhile, the cultivators in the city wore pale faces.
The mixed battle between a few Peerless Geniuses was already shocking to them. How could they possibly defend themselves against the surging intents of the Earth Immortals?
Their hearts began to race feeling the great storm that was about to break out. They all had an urge to leave at once.
"Cultivators, why don't you fight when the World of Yin and Yang is over?"
An aged voice shattered the wills, "Before that, please show me a little respect and be on peaceful terms with one another."
The words did not sound imperious, yet they seemed to possess a magical power that forced the intense atmosphere to return to calm instantly.
The person that spoke was a Peerless Ruler of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect!
