Chapter 35: I Can Defeat Half A Son of Heaven!

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Li Xuanmen heard Senior Liu’s confident voice and then looked at Wang Yuyan, who was struggling but had a determined look in her eyes.

He gritted his teeth, picked up the communication talisman in his hand, and said firmly, “Alright, Senior, then I’ll leave it to you.”

…

As the chess game progressed, the sky was almost pressing down on everyone’s heads. Some Golden Core stage cultivators had even prostrated on the ground, expressing their submission to the Heavenly Dao.

Rumble–

The sky began to change drastically. Thunder and lightning interweaved, and there was even a sound that sounded like crying in everyone’s ears.

When the knowledgeable cultivators heard this sound, their faces also changed.

This was a heavenly tribulation!

This wind would start from the soles of the feet during the tribulation and gradually blow into the pores. In a moment, it would blow away the flesh and bones of people.

“This is the wrath of the Heavenly Dao! This is the Heavenly Dao’s response to the provocation of the person!”

A Nascent Soul cultivator pointed at the distant sky and said with a trembling voice,  “Quickly get down. Under the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, only by submitting can one survive!”

A Golden Core cultivator who was lying on the ground suddenly felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear and hurriedly reminded them.

Hearing this, a few more cultivators quickly laid down.

They found that the pressure on their bodies had completely disappeared.

“It’s true! It’s true…”

In the end, only a few cultivators were still standing and struggling.

Boom–

Eight figures suddenly appeared in the sky. They were all different in shape. Some looked like big birds, some had dragon heads and human bodies… All of them looked extremely fierce.

When these eight figures appeared, all the cultivators in the southern domain felt a sense of oppression.

In the back mountain of an immortal cultivation sect, tens of thousands of Li away from this nameless valley.

The clay figurine in a cave suddenly became very lively.

Kala– Kala–

The clay figurine moved its body and shook off the clay shell on its body.

It turned out that it was a cultivator. Because it had been in seclusion for a long time, it had become one with the cave. As a result, a clay shell had grown on its body.

“It seems that the Heavenly Dao has awakened! Could it be that someone has done that heaven-defying thing again? I wonder if this time, there will be a river of blood…”

Not only here, but in the entire Southern Domain, there were different people looking in the direction of the nameless valley.

Some people could not help but feel curious. They wanted to see what had happened and why the Heavenly Dao was so angry.

However, most of them were ‘stowaways’ under the Heavenly Dao. Only by hiding from the Heavenly Dao could they survive in this world. Once they were discovered, they would either be reincarnated or forced to undergo a tribulation.

Therefore, they only dared to look in that direction. They did not dare to cross the line anymore.

…

“How dare a mortal challenge the Heavenly Dao! Watch as the eight heavenly dragons come to vanquish the demons!” the leading figure suddenly shouted loudly.

“Humph! Ha!”

The eight figures started to shout at the same time.

When the crowd below heard the first innate voice, they felt as if their minds had exploded. They all covered their ears.

When Wang Yuyan heard the voice, she almost fainted. However, when she looked at the chess game in front of her, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

“6, 5.”

Li Xuanmen was also mechanically transmitting the news from both sides.

“Humph! Ha–”

“3, 7.”

“Humph! Ha–”

Following the shouts of the eight figures in the horizon, the two of them gritted their teeth and persevered.

“Alright, this is the last step. His defeat in this step will be inevitable. 12, 14.”

Suddenly, Li Xuanmen heard such voices, but he had long lost his consciousness. He only mechanically transmitted the news.

“Alright, this is the last step. His defeat in this step will be inevitable. 12, 14. Alright, finally…”

As if hearing Liu Changgong’s voice, the figures in the sky started to speak more and more forcefully, more and more frequently.

Wang Yuyan was indifferent to the words outside of the command. She was already at the end of her rope.

She did not have any strength left in her body.

However, after hearing the final command, she still squeezed out some strength from somewhere. She picked up the chess piece and threw it towards the designated position with all her strength.

“Ah, ah–”

Finally, as Wang Yuyan’s last chess piece landed, more than half of the chess piece belonging to the illusory figure on the opposite side disappeared.

Half an eye!

They only won by half an eye!

Under Liu Changgong’s guidance, they won by half an eye.

Following that, the illusory figure and the chess piece that was completely made up of spiritual energy also disappeared with a loud bang.

The eight celestial dragons on the horizon also slowly disappeared with an unwilling look on their faces.

It was broken?!

The chess game between the Xiaoyao Grand Sage and the Heavenly Dao was broken just like that?!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, they were still being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. They were even tortured to the point of wanting to die. How did it suddenly disappear?

The first thing everyone did when they stood up was to touch themselves from top to bottom.

They wanted to see if they were dreaming, or if they were all dead souls.

“I’m not dead! Hahaha–”

“I’m not dead either–”

Everyone looked at Li Xuanmen with a complicated expression on their faces.

It was this guy who insisted on playing chess and almost wiped everyone out. However, it was also him who saved everyone from the Heavenly Dao’s blade.

However, when he thought that such a person would definitely soar to the skies in the future, their expressions became much better. They looked at Li Xuanmen with fervent eyes.

The moment the chess game was cracked, Li Xuanmen himself could not believe it. A shocked expression appeared on his face.

Then, a huge wave of surprise surged into his heart.

It was cracked!

Did Senior Liu really crack the ‘Exquisite Chessboard’ left behind by the Xiaoyao Grand Sage?!

He happily took out the communication talisman that he used to communicate with Liu Changgong and shouted happily.

“Senior, thank you. You really saved my life and the lives of many people at the same time! Ah! We don’t have to die!”

Liu Changgong took the jade talisman far away and felt that Li Xuanmen was really noisy.

After hearing Li Xuanmen’s words, everyone present finally understood that the person who solved the chess game was someone else.

After a long time, Li Xuanmen finally stopped making a scene. He took the jade talisman and said,  “The person playing chess opposite you is quite powerful. Introduce him to me next time. This person’s chess playing pattern is very big. It’s a bit like using the world as a chess piece.

Heaven is a chessboard and stars are pawns. Unfortunately, even if the heaven plays chess with me, I can still beat the heaven by half a stone!”

As if they had heard Liu Changgong’s words, the eight figures that had just disappeared had the intention of condensing and taking shape again.

Unfortunately, they still dissipated in the end.
