Chapter 571: The God Who Keeps Losing Status and the Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen

The God's Chess Game came to an end.

This man who called himself a god had lost again.

The chess game he deemed peerless in the world had been defeated by human hands for the second time.

Of course, his failure was to be expected.

If it were merely a simple game of chess, with the two hundred years of wisdom of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, Yu Liancheng might truly not have been able to defeat him.

But this game of yours was a comprehensive contest of chess skill, martial arts, technique intent, and spirit... almost everything except for a physical clash; falling behind in any single point could lead to a single careless move causing the entire board to be lost.

From the very beginning, Yu Liancheng had been building momentum for his final "Alluring City" Sword Intent. And once that sword intent erupted, it would determine the outcome of the entire chessboard.

But Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen was cautious at every step, and it was not easy to win with this sword intent.

Until the appearance of Mo Baisuzhen.

Even if Mo Baisuzhen just stood to the side and did nothing, she could cause Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen to lose his composure, as if facing a formidable enemy.

And Yu Liancheng understood precisely that to Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, Mo Baisuzhen was an existence similar to a heart demon, yet she had once been his wife, sharing the most intimate relationship in the world.

Therefore, after Mo Baisuzhen appeared, Yu Liancheng sent her a voice transmission, asking her to cooperate with him in acting out a scene.

To say that Mo Baisuzhen had no resentment toward Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen would be impossible.

Thus, with the cooperation of Mo Baisuzhen, this scene was performed very successfully; the latter successfully broke his defense, lost his composure, and in a fit of mixed anger, finally allowed Yu Liancheng to break this so-called "God's Chess Game."

Losing this game of chess also successfully caused Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen to curse, beginning his loss of status.

Yu Liancheng reached out to block Mo Baisuzhen's slender waist, as if he could feel that smooth skin through the thin gauze, and smiled: "I said it before, you are nothing but a madman who calls himself a god. And now, whether on the chessboard or off the chessboard, you have lost, lost thoroughly."

Mo Baisuzhen leaned into Yu Liancheng's embrace, that pair of beautiful eyes gazing at Yu Liancheng, rippling with waves of autumn water, and even more so with a look of reverence, as if she had already taken the man before her as her only one.

It was just that her slender hand quietly reached to the soft flesh at Yu Liancheng's waist and twisted hard; who told this guy's hands to be so restless, taking advantage of her.

As for Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, he was naturally even more furious. He could no longer suppress his anger, and two cold glints shot out from his eyes, just like two divine weapons, shooting toward Yu Liancheng. This was his eyes powered by Immeasurable Maha; not only was it Yanjing, but the power was also strong to the extreme.

Yu Liancheng let out a cold snort, and two rays of Yanjing likewise shot out from his eyes. These two rays of Yanjing were also powered by Immeasurable Maha, only that whether it was Immeasurable Maha or Yanjing, Yu Liancheng's skills in these two aspects were a notch inferior to Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

Therefore, in the clash of Yanjing, Yu Liancheng's Yanjing shattered, while the residual power of the opponent's Yanjing shot over, to be neutralized by his Protective Qi Cover.

In this clash, Yu Liancheng appeared to have fallen behind.

He needed the Protective Qi Cover to neutralize the Yanjing of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

However, he had shot out the Yanjing merely to provoke Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

Sure enough, Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen became increasingly furious.

Because he suddenly discovered that the Yanjing Yu Liancheng used was actually learned from him. Stealing his wife, learning his martial arts, defeating him on the chessboard—could there be anything more excessive in this world?

Of course, the reason Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen's state of mind was so unbalanced actually had another cause, which was that the technique intent left behind by Yu Liancheng's "Startling Glance" still remained in his body, and with his rage, it increasingly stirred his seven emotions and six desires.

"Brat, go to hell!

"

With various reasons added together, Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen let out a cold snort, suddenly appearing in front of Yu Liancheng, his right hand clenching, swinging his arm to blast out a masculine fist force capable of collapsing the heavens and splitting the earth.

The fist force was overwhelming, like a heavenly river pouring backward, yet under the control of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, not a single bit leaked out, all of it blasting in front of Yu Liancheng, like a shadow covering the sky, descending.

"Heh, I want to see just how much of that skill you used to fight the masters of fifty sects back in the day remains now." Yu Liancheng's eyes burst with a bright light, a trace of an excited smile flashing across the corner of his mouth, as he also clenched his five fingers into a fist, and amidst the sound of a dragon's roar, he blasted out a move from the Mountain and Sea Fist Canon: Dragon Scale Shattering the Sun.

Bang!

The two palms collided.

It erupted with power sufficient to destroy everything.

Although this Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen was an old immortal who hadn't truly fought in a long time, he possessed two hundred years of profound internal energy, and after being amplified countless times by the peerless move Immeasurable Maha, every strike had the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. And although he himself was aged, his Demon Body of World Destruction still provided him with sufficiently formidable physical strength.

Therefore, the power of the opponent's punch actually somewhat exceeded Yu Liancheng's expectations.

Under this strike, the most brilliant collision erupted, and the heavens and earth seemed to turn into a piece of chaos, as if to reopen yin and yang.

Yu Liancheng also retreated several zhang, then his figure spun slightly, and he met him again, engaging in a slaughter with Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen that could almost destroy the heavens and earth.

Mo Baisuzhen had intended to come and assist Yu Liancheng, but was stopped by the latter.

"This is a duel between us; you don't need to intervene."

Mo Baisuzhen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose not to strike.

The strength of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen was not much different from hers, and since Yu Liancheng could defeat her and even have energy to spare, he could likely also defeat Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

And Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen knew that the person before him would be the most difficult opponent he would ever face in his life, and with Mo Baisuzhen eyeing him from the side, he knew he had to end the battle as quickly as possible, so he brought out all his strength.

At the same time, a fighting spirit spread in the heart of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen.

As an old monster who had lived for over two hundred years, Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen had thought he had long since lost the fighting spirit and hot blood of his youth. Even love and family affection had been cut off and abandoned by him one by one. The only thing that could support him in living on was probably that ambition to dominate the Shenzhou land for thousands of generations, forever and ever.

But as they continued to fight, his fighting spirit as a martial artist and his longing for an evenly matched opponent finally revealed themselves; he wanted to fight to his heart's content with his opponent, and then use his strongest killing move to kill his opponent.

In an instant, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves, each move gathering the power of extreme yin or extreme yang, striking out with earth-shattering force.

"Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, take my blade."

Yu Liancheng rolled his sleeves, driving the Earth-Level Maha to condense the power of extreme yin, forming a blade of extreme yin. As the blade slashed out, thousands of yin energies gathered. But the feeling this blade gave people was "Empty"!

It could be called "Empty"!

Empty meant invisible, untouchable, inaudible, yet omnipresent.

And within this kind of "Empty," there was also a sense of withered decay, as if all life, once tainted with a trace of the meaning of "Empty," would fall into an irredeemable decline.

It was precisely—the fourth move of the Evil King's Ten Tribulations: All Four Failures are Empty.

Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen sneered, raised his hand to slash, used Maha to condense a blade of extreme yang, and swung out a simple "Iron Chain Across the River," which was at the peak of subtlety, the Great Dao being simple.

Clang!

The two blades collided, erupting with the sound of clashing iron.

The two forces of extreme yin and extreme yang entangled and canceled each other out; the seemingly simple and plain "Iron Chain Across the River" actually neutralized the blade momentum of "All Four Failures are Empty."

"Heh, petty tricks."

Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen's voice carried disdain.

However, this move, "Four Defeats All Empty," is extremely profound; defeat is emptiness, and emptiness is existence.

Yu Liancheng's blade momentum was clearly completely neutralized, but a blade Qi suddenly slashed out from the void. At such a close distance, even God could not dodge in time.

With a "Crack!" sound, God's mask shattered.

And God's true face was finally revealed before everyone.

Upon seeing this face of God, even a monk like Fazhi, who viewed the physical body as a mere stinking skin bag, could not help but exclaim in shock.

Mo Baisuzhen frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes even holding a trace of pity as she sighed, "To think that you have still failed to overcome the flaws of the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Destroying Demon Body."

Yu Liancheng shook his head and smiled, "Truly an old immortal."

The reason the three of them reacted this way was that this face was truly too old, covered in wrinkles, even deeper than those of centenarians, as if it were a pile of mud that had been ruthlessly crushed by a carriage. And upon the aged skin were countless brown age spots, ugly and terrifying to an extreme, barely qualifying as maintaining the appearance of a "human."

So, this was the price of immortality.

Although the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Destroying Demon Body could grant him eternal life, they could not keep him from aging.

And he... was now two hundred years old.

Until this moment, Fazhi finally understood why God always liked to recite that poem about the sorrow of spring and early death. If a person does not enjoy and cherish flowers while in the prime of youth, only to look back and find a century has passed, how regrettable is that?

Although he could enjoy eternal life, he could never escape this increasingly aged face.

Mo Baisuzhen originally had this worry too, but her Life Crossing transferred the consciousness of the Demon into the mind of another woman, so her body naturally remained young.

"You motherfucker!"

"I'm going to slaughter you!"

God's greatest shortcoming was exposed in public, and in front of his subordinates and his former wife. After a brief silence, boundless rage finally erupted.

"Oh, swearing again; this time, the deity is beyond saving," Yu Liancheng gloated.

"Damn it, die for me!"

"

Whoosh!

Under the reinforcement of the Immeasurable Maha, the ultimate Yang power between heaven and earth almost condensed into substance, surging toward Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen like a river; his body was like a vast ocean, accepting the endless masculine Qi. And likewise, he could erupt with all that power in an instant, revealing a strength capable of destroying heaven and extinguishing the earth.

At the same time, the World-Destroying Demon Body and the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art were pushed to their peak; crimson and snow-white rainbows rose from within his body, piercing the nine heavens and ten earths, stirring the layered clouds.

"Heh, finally ready to risk your life!?"

A cold sneer hung on the corner of Yu Liancheng's mouth as his internal energy surged, the ultimate Yin Earth-Level Maha operating to meet Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen head-on.

Boom!

An earth-shattering battle unfolded once more; with the rage of Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen, this battle was far more terrifying than before, every collision shaking the heavens and moving the earth.

And for this earth-shattering battle, the spectators were not just Mo Baisuzhen and Fazhi.

At the same time, a man dressed in yellow robes, with a full head of hair as white as frost and long-lasting internal energy, stood atop another mountain peak.

He held his hands behind his back, letting the gale blow his yellow robes, looking ethereal and extraordinary. A smile of calculated mastery always overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Those deep eyes, no matter what they looked at, always carried a trace of indifference, like a god above the heavens looking down upon the ants of the human world.

He is Heaven.

—Di Shitian.

When the Fear Ranking was first released, it shocked Di Shitian.

Di Shitian then dispatched his disciple Xuehuang to investigate the matter and planted the Evil Blood Tribulation within Xuehuang's body. It was a pity that, in the end, he was instead injured in his Primordial Spirit by Yu Liancheng using "Li Jing."

After recuperating for a period of time, Di Shitian finally decided to investigate Yu Liancheng personally, to see what kind of sacred being this was.

Before reaching Wushuang City, he sensed two powerful fluctuations clashing; following the trail, he saw the scene that shocked his soul not far away.

"One of them is Yu Liancheng, I wonder who the other is?"

The battle before his eyes truly shocked this fellow who styled himself as Heaven. With his peerless cultivation of over a thousand years, his palms were actually sweating.

It was only because, facing these two people, he had no confidence that he could defeat either one of them.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in Di Shitian's heart; he had thought that his own peerless power of over a thousand years, combined with the Heart Sutra, could sweep across the world invincible.

But he did not expect to be beaten up by Wu Wudi first, and then see these two fellows.

How could there suddenly be so many supreme experts in this world?

Could it be that the Fear Ranking was all true?

"No matter what, this Yu Liancheng is someone I must deal with. This time, I will make him die without a burial place."

For supreme experts, sneak attacks are often looked down upon.

But in this world, one villainous expert after another played with poison and sneak attacks to their heart's content, without a shred of an expert's demeanor.

Di Shitian happened to be one of them.

"Watch me—Heart Heaven Tribulation!"

Di Shitian pressed one hand to his own chest and pointed the other toward Yu Liancheng, who was hundreds of feet away; a strange fluctuation spread at his fingertips, ready to be shot out at any moment.

The Heart Heaven Tribulation and the Evil Blood Tribulation both belong to the Four Tribulations of the Heart; the Evil Blood Tribulation can control the blood of others, while the Heart Heaven Tribulation can link the opponent's heartbeat to one's own. Because Di Shitian had consumed Phoenix blood, he could adjust his heart rate at will without being greatly affected, but for the vast majority of experts, it could cause their combat power to be greatly lost.

Perhaps the Heart Heaven Tribulation could not cause fatal injuries to Yu Liancheng, but at this moment he was in a life-and-death battle with Chang Sheng Bu Si Shen; if his heartbeat were interfered with now, it would be hard not to lose.

Just at the moment the Heart Heaven Tribulation was about to be launched, a mass of black clouds drifted over from afar, from which came Mo Baisuzhen's cold voice.

"Heh, the fellow who styles himself as Heaven turns out to be nothing more than a despicable villain who sneak attacks in the dark."

The next moment, the black clouds twisted, transforming into a giant palm that carried the power to swallow all life, pressing down toward Di Shitian as if to cover the sky and block the sun.

—Six Great Demon Crossings, Death Crossing.
