Chapter 40: Task Updated!

With one piece falling, a vast great world was actually born.

Li Xiang stood aside, looking at the two playing chess with some astonishment.

No wonder the other three had such dull expressions.

Using the vast void as a chessboard, using endless worlds as pieces.

Such a magnificent chess game, no wonder everyone would be addicted to it.

Looking closely, he found that these worlds were not worlds in an illusory sense.

But real, solid worlds.

Li Xiang could even see civilizations being born and living beings evolving inside those chess piece worlds.

There were even many extremely powerful living beings walking out of the worlds.

After coming to the void, looking at one world after another in the void fighting, they showed extremely surprised expressions.

Using the heavens as a battlefield, worlds as chess pieces.

What a terrifying game of chess.

Li Xiang saw those worlds connecting together, worlds of the same color communicating and progressing, evolving into greater civilizations, and launching attacks on worlds of different colors.

Whenever the four Qi robberies around a world were blocked, it was the fall of a world.

An empty space was successfully cleared on the chessboard, leaving a position for the subsequent battle.

It was still the gameplay of Go, but in terms of core, it became a game between civilizations, a very tragic war.

No wonder all four had finished playing, and these two existences had not ended yet.

The old immortal and the naughty boy sat on the stone chairs, not paying attention to the arrival of the others.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that the old immortal was about to win.

The naughty boy's black pieces had been beaten into a rout.

On the chessboard, vast white worlds connected together, surrounding the entire battlefield.

In the center of the vast world, a supreme Heavenly Court was established.

Inside, there was an extremely terrifying god, leading the gods and demons under his command, launching the final charge against the black world.

And the black world had been beaten to the point of almost complete collapse, with only scattered corners still persisting.

It could be said that the defeat was set; the only reason there was no surrender was that the chess player didn't want to click surrender yet.

Click!

With one piece falling, a great world suppressed the last corner of the black pieces.

This game, the old man won.

"Not playing, not playing, you fellow have no face."

"When playing chess, you still use the Creation Jade Slip to calculate."

"I should go to Purple Heaven Palace to impeach you, and let your main body take you back."

"I really don't know what he is thinking, putting a good Dao Ancestor aside and doing some subtraction to seek emptiness, creating such a shameless old guy like you."

The naughty boy sat on the stone chair and reached out to brush over the chessboard lightly.

Time began to flow backward, and everything began to become blurry again.

That vast battlefield, in just a few moments, became empty, and all the worlds returned to the chess box.

It seemed that the terrifying battlefield, the bleeding geniuses, and everything that happened just now were all a dream.

Under the reversal of time, they dissipated and disappeared.

Even the noble Heavenly Emperor Supreme seemed to have never been born.

"You fellow, still the same."

"If you can't beat me, you have to scold me."

"With such a state of mind, how can you attain transcendence in the future."

The old immortal smiled and ignored the naughty boy who was scolding.

Just sitting on the stone chair, his eyes half-open and half-closed.

He glanced at the four people, Li Xiang.

"Are these the guests you brought?"

"Two are trapped by the limit of life and death, one is entangled by the power of the tribulation."

"And one is seeking the Dao by borrowing external objects."

"Even their own destiny cannot be mastered; are you sure these people can beat me?"

The old man smiled and looked at the naughty boy, seeming very disdainful.

From the time the four entered the door until now, this was the first time the old man had looked at these four people directly.

"Hey, he is the Dao Ancestor, not you, you are still pretending!"

The naughty boy stood up, seeming very dissatisfied.

"Since you look down on mortals so much, later you will put away your broken jade slip and win by wisdom, do you dare, old guy?"

The naughty boy snorted, also looking at the old immortal with great disdain.

It seemed like he was using a provocative method.

"Boring."

"I agree."

"However, later you remember to go and find my gate back."

Seeing the old immortal agree, the naughty boy suddenly showed a smile.

"Good! It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After the two made an agreement, the naughty boy suddenly stood up.

He waved to the four, signaling them to come over.

"I don't know what advice the senior has?"

Yang Jian opened his mouth.

"Nothing, I have already made it clear to you before."

"Inviting you from your respective worlds, just to discuss chess skills."

"The old gentleman in front of you has superb chess skills and is hard to find an opponent."

"I really can't watch it anymore; if any of you can dampen his spirit, I have rewards."

The naughty boy stood in front of several people and said lightly.

But no one dared to ignore the weight of his words.

The stronger one is, the more one can feel the terror of the other party.

That is a kind of terror that seems to have transcended everything.

"Since the senior has spoken, I dare not disobey."

The four nodded.

The theme of this encounter today is this game of chess.

"Since that's the case, then who will go up and play against him first?"

"I will come!"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Jian was seen standing up, bowing to the naughty boy and the old immortal, and then sitting on the stone chair opposite the old immortal.

"He is a straightforward person."

"Under Yuanshi, there are also good seedlings."

The naughty boy smiled.

"You don't have to be afraid of him; I have an agreement with him, he will restrain a part of his strength."

Yang Jian sat on the stone chair.

Pinching the chess piece, his expression suddenly changed.

In the divine eye on his forehead, a ray of essence light suddenly erupted, and his momentum suddenly rose to countless levels.

The previous Heaven and Earth chessboard could raise the chess player's perspective to the level of a world's Vault of Heaven.

Then now, the chess game using the heavens as pieces seemed to bring Yang Jian an extremely terrifying boost.

"I pay my respects to the senior!"

Yang Jian pinched the chess piece, bowed to the old man, and then placed it slowly.

"Good!"

Yang Jian played black first, and the old man pinched a white piece and placed it at random.

The speed of the two playing chess was not fast.

Mainly because Yang Jian's speed of placing pieces was very cautious.

No.

It cannot be said to be cautious.

It looks more like it's strenuous!

Whenever Yang Jian finished placing a piece, he would frown.

It seemed he felt great pressure.

Off the field, Kongming and Wu Zetian also frowned.

One is an emperor, one is a strategist through the ages, both are people with extremely delicate minds.

Go is like a war game, comparing the planning of the general situation.

The two of them looked at the chessboard situation and also felt very bad.

The old man's placement was very clever; it seemed that every piece fell on Yang Jian's heart, as if he had calculated all his subsequent paths.

As the person involved, Yang Jian broke out in a cold sweat.

This feeling!

This familiar feeling!

It was even more terrifying than playing against Li Xiang just now.

If Li Xiang calculated his layout twenty moves later.

Then the old man in front of him seemed to have calculated all his endings!

Every piece he placed was a strategic attempt.

But every piece the old man placed was like telling himself, I know your thoughts, may I ask when you will admit defeat.

This pressure made Yang Jian feel very uncomfortable.

Off the field.

Li Xiang looked at the two playing chess, his expression also very cautious.

Because just now.

He suddenly heard a familiar system prompt sound.

【Ding! Task target updated!】

【Current progress: Defeat Hongjun (Human Body) 0/1】

【Reward: Unknown!】

Li Xiang looked at the kind old man in front of him.

The corners of his mouth were twitching slightly.

Hong...

Hongjun?!
