“What, she gave up her dragon?!” Black-White widened his eyes in disbelief.

On the chess board, the dragon was the key to winning. Yet, Little Fox sacrificed her dragon in the face of the black dragon. It was practically suicide.

Everyone else might not be able to understand the match, but they could still see what happened with the illusions.

After Little Fox made her move, the black pieces materialized.

In a flash, the black dragon had a fierce look on its face as it lunged at the white dragon with a roar. The white dragon was ripped to shreds.

Little Fox’s white dragon dispersed and the whole board seemed to be dominated by black pieces. The black dragon ruled the world.

Yet, her face was still calm as she continued playing.

Tak!

Tak!

Tak!

…

Black and white pieces continued to move.

Everyone felt like the black pieces did not seem to be dominating. Instead, the white pieces were speedily getting stronger, constantly forcing the black pieces to retreat.

The white pieces materialized again, turning into a sharp ax that floated atop the black dragon’s head.

“They’ve come back to life. The white pieces are back to life!” Black-White’s eyes widened. He suddenly felt a passionate aura wash through his body. His head went numb.

It was the most shocking match he ever witnessed. He suddenly cried and laughed. He lost his composure after seeing such an otherworldly chess match.

“Coming back after being on the verge of death. So this is how you do it! I’m not some chess saint. Compared to a true chess player, I’m but a baby.”

At the same time, Bai Piao and the others were stunned.

“She got it, she got it!”

“She gave up her dragon and managed to turn it around. This level of chess is so terrifying.”

“Most importantly, she’s about to succeed. That little girl solved a chessboard like that!”

“Where is she from? Why have we never heard of her?”

…

The Heavenly Palace’s group breathed a sigh of relief.

Cultivator Junjun smiled and he toyed with his beard, “I knew it. Little Fox was taught by the expert. How could she fail?”

That crucial move changed the board very quickly.

Little Fox sped up as she played, and her expression started to relax. Her strategy was coming to fruition.

When she played her final move, the ax dropped, cutting the dragon in two. So… her plan to slaughter the dragon worked!

The next moment, the black and white auras did not disperse, but flew into the cave…

Buzz!

It seemed to have opened up a lock.

A miraculous aura materialized. Webs of light shot out from the cave and slowly dispersed.

“It’s open, the hidden realm is open!”

“Hahaha, I’m going for the method to cleanse the gray mist!”

“Complete Wisdom is right in front. It’ll be mine!”

The cultivators were all incredibly excited as they roared. They all went into the cave, afraid of falling behind.

“Let’s go too!”

Bai Piao was normally very careful, but when he saw that nothing happened to those who entered the cave, he could not control himself as he rushed in.

Little Fox did not move, because her connection with the board was still unbroken.

At that moment, the stone carving let out a glow than shone on Little Fox. Waves of sword Wisdom circulated her.

“Little Fox, what do we do?” Yang Jian could not help but ask.

“I think this chessboard is calling to me. I want to take a look. You should head into the cave.”

Little Fox walked toward the board curiously. When she tried to reach out to the carvings, her hand sunk inside. It was like there was a separate realm within the board.

Cultivator Junjun and the others frowned before he said worriedly, “Then… okay. Little Fox, please be careful.”

“Yes,” Little Fox nodded before she waved her hand. Four white chess pieces entered Cultivator Junjun and the others’ bodies. It formed a white piece on their foreheads. After that, she did not even turn back as she entered the chessboard, disappearing.

“Little Fox.”

The others were all shocked as they hurried to the carving. Yet, they noticed that it had turned back to a normal carving, not allowing them inside.

“Let’s go, we should enter the cave.”

In the end, they were forced to enter the cave.

The moment they entered, they felt like the world had turned around. The moment they snapped back to reality, they were shocked by the sight.

It was a blood-red world. Everywhere was red. Even the mood in the sky was a blood moon. Everyone felt incredibly uncomfortable in that atmosphere.

At the same time, the cultivators that had just entered went through a bitter fight. Some of the cultivators were already in pools of blood, dead. Their opponents were not people. To be precise, they were not even living beings. Instead, they were… skeletons.

Those skeletons were in the form of humans and beasts. They had no sense of life to them at all. They had flesh and blood but were still incredibly explosive. Their skills were incredibly powerful as well.

Yang Jian’s third eye lit up as he looked around. His face immediately sank as he concluded, “This is a battlefield.”

“Look at the floor,” Juling Shen pointed at the distance in shock.

Under the blood-red soil were many corpses. Various weapons were all half-buried in the ground. As the gentle breeze blew past, the blood-red sand danced in the air, feeling incredibly desolate.

“Clack clack clack!”

Suddenly, a human skeleton lunged at them.

“Sword slash,” Xiao Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, using his finger as a sword as he slashed at the skeleton, sending it flying.

Yet, they had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The skeleton started to get up again emotionlessly. The slash did not leave traces on its body!

Juling Shen took a cold breath, “How’s this possible? Those skeletons are so sturdy.”

“Xiao Chengfeng, how much power did you use?” Cultivator Junjun asked with a frown.

“Twenty percent.”

Xiao Chengfeng’s expression turned serious, “It’s equal to a full-powered strike from someone at the peak of the Wisdom Elite realm. This skeleton was probably… no weaker than me before it died!”

Everyone’s expressions turned even more serious at those words.

Xiao Chengfeng was already at the peak of the Wisdom Dictator realm. They just entered, and the first skeleton was already so strong. What type of terrifying place was this?!

Yang Jian said in disbelief, “There are so many corpses buried here. Could they all have been so strong before they died?”

Cultivator Junjun suddenly had a shocking guess as he said shakily, “Could it be that the corpses of the weaker cultivators had already disappeared here? Only the stronger ones saw their bones still being around.”
