Chapter 1153

After seeing the little old man's true appearance clearly, Dugu Yun was startled.

"Ancestor Dugu!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Dugu Yun's words, the Chess King subconsciously looked toward Dugu Yun.

Upon seeing Dugu Yun, the Chess King was somewhat agitated.

"To think I could meet my descendant here!"

Chen Hao ignored the Chess King; he condensed flames in his right hand and threw them toward the Red-Skinned Demon.

The scorching flames instantly enveloped the Red-Skinned Demon, burning it into ashes.

Unfortunately, the Red-Skinned Demon did not leave anything behind for Chen Hao.

Chen Hao lowered his head to look at the Chess King at his feet.

The Chess King had his lifespan drained by Chen Hao, and now he was on the verge of death.

However, his desire to live was still particularly intense.

"No, don't kill me!"

The Chess King pleaded with Chen Hao.

"Give me a reason not to kill you?"

The Chess King was a Saint Realm Stage Nine ability user; he was only one step away from the Emperor Realm.

Just this one step had consumed most of his life.

Unfortunately, he was never able to take this step.

During this time in the Red-Skinned Demon's Divine Kingdom, the Chess King finally had some realization.

It turned out that he had been on the wrong path all along.

To break through to the Emperor Realm, one must find a World Seed.

The World Seed is the origin of this world.

One must plant the World Seed within their own body, then use ability energy to catalyze the seed, letting it sprout.

The seed will slowly turn into a world, eventually forming a Divine Kingdom.

As the Divine Kingdom grows, the owner of the Divine Kingdom can finally condense a Divine Core and step into the God Realm.

The Chess King realized this while inside, but unfortunately, it was all too late.

He could not escape from the Red-Skinned Demon's Divine Kingdom.

Only those in the Emperor Realm could tear through space.

As a Saint Realm practitioner, he was always an ant in front of someone in the Emperor Realm.

"Sigh!"

The Chess King could not help but let out a sigh.

"This Red-Skinned Demon's luck is truly good."

"This Yama Divine Palace is a ruin, and he happened to obtain a World Seed inside."

"Otherwise, with his strength, it would be impossible to reach the Emperor Realm."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As the old Chess King said this, he began to cough violently.

Blood gushed out from his mouth.

He was too weak, so weak that even breathing was difficult.

"Heaven, why are you so unfair?"

The thing the Chess King had spent his whole life pursuing was only realized when he was about to die.

This is like many people seeing a way to get rich; originally they had the funds to invest, but because they invested in other projects, they ended up heavily in debt.

They could only watch helplessly as the wealth flowed into others' pockets.

Dugu Yun stood there, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The pressure Chen Hao gave him was too immense.

"This trip was not without gains."

"At least my strength reached Saint Realm Stage Eight, and my mental power reached the peak of Saint Realm Stage Nine."

"Now, as long as the enemy isn't in the Emperor Realm, I can go toe-to-toe with them."

"Even at Saint Realm Stage Nine, as long as they aren't an old-timer, killing them is like killing a chicken or a dog to me."

Chen Hao lowered his head to look at the Chess King.

The Chess King's mouth was slightly open, his pupils dilated, his eyes staring straight ahead, his face filled with unwillingness.

Chen Hao condensed flames in his right hand and threw them toward the Chess King's corpse.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained SSS-grade ability — 【Chess Saint】!"

【Chess Saint】, SSS-grade ability: Enter the Dao through chess, specializing in the Chess Dao, becoming extraordinary and holy through this.

"Enter the Dao through chess?"

Chen Hao suddenly remembered that he had heard of people entering the Dao through Confucianism.

Confucianism refers to scholars who, relying on their knowledge, achieve enlightenment in a day and thus become saints in a day.

There is a poem that says: If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening; this must be what it refers to.

Chen Hao finished off the Chess Saint and turned his head to look at Dugu Yun.

"Gulp, gulp!"

Dugu Yun swallowed his saliva, looking at Chen Hao with a face full of terror, fearing that Chen Hao had killed so much he would want to take it out on him.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Hearing this, Dugu Yun let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Hao scanned his surroundings, his brows furrowing.

"What happened here just now?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yun said with a smiling face: "Nothing, it's just that I lured those team members here."

"You?"

"That's right, I wanted to use their hands to rescue you."

When Dugu Yun said this, Chen Hao stared into his eyes the whole time.

He was surprised to find that Dugu Yun was not lying.

"Alright, since the matter is over, let's go."

"Go? Go where?"

"Of course, to leave this place."

Hearing this, Dugu Yun frowned slightly.

"Are we not going to continue walking inside?"

"If you want to go, you go!"

Chen Hao ignored Dugu Yun and stepped toward the door.

Dugu Yun glanced at the eerie Yama Divine Palace, gritted his teeth, and followed Chen Hao.

On the way.

Dugu Yun couldn't help but ask Chen Hao: "Why aren't we continuing to walk inside?"

In Dugu Yun's view, there must be some treasures inside this Yama Divine Palace.

Perhaps the Longevity Lingzhi he had been searching for was deep inside the Yama Divine Palace.

Hearing this, Chen Hao sighed.

"No matter how good the items are, you have to have the life to enjoy them!"

Chen Hao naturally wanted to explore inside, but his intuition told him it was extremely dangerous.

This was Chen Hao's 【Danger Prediction】 triggering.

Since there was danger inside, he naturally wouldn't be stubborn and head inside.

"But we can't just go back like this!"

Dugu Yun said to Chen Hao: "You still have our Villain Group's wanted poster on you." ===== CHAPTER 1155 =====
