Chapter 132: The Golden Finger Fumbles 1
The breakthrough had begun.
Talented individuals from the Hundred States of Heaven and the Four Great Alliances all stepped forward.
In front of the barrier, thousands of identical chess boards appeared.
Everyone cautiously sat down on the bone-white chairs, their nerves on edge.
Soon, the scene fell into silence.
Every single person was deep in thought.
But before long, many had already stepped down.
Their chess skills weren’t refined enough; they simply couldn’t proceed.
The chess boards in front of the barrier were extremely complex.
“It’s terrifying, this chessboard… It’s not just a game of chess; I distinctly feel as if two fearsome armies are clashing, with life and death hanging by a thread…”A rather scholarly-looking young man spoke up. He was Lu Xing, a genius from the Earth Element Alliance, known as the Little Chess Saint!
“This chess board is too difficult, containing several hundred dreadful formations… I fear no one from our generation will be able to break through!”
A woman spoke, deeply sighing. She came from the Xuanzhen Sect of the Xuanzhen Realm, and her profound understanding of formations allowed her to see instantly that intertwined with the chessboards were terrifying formations!
At the scene, every young person with knowledge of chess was fervently racking their brains.
However, the majority had already given up, able only to wait by the side of their respective alliance’s seed players, hoping that they could carve out a path.
“Alas, in a blink of an eye, only a few hundred people continued…”
An old Profound Immortal lamented, “It’s too difficult.”
“Those who understand chess are few, and finding them amongst talents is even rarer…”
“No matter, the Four Great Alliances have made their preparations!”
“Just wait and see!”
Everybody began speaking one after another.
“Lu Xing has started to play.”
At this moment, all eyes were on him.
Lu Xing from the Earth Element Alliance finally made his move.
His expression was stern.
With a drop of a black piece, a white piece followed immediately.
The battle between black and white sides became intensely fierce!
Beads of sweat fell in large drops from Lu Xing’s forehead.
He gave it his all, continued with difficulty, and as the chessboard changed, his eyes filled with bloodshot streaks!
“This chessboard is too fearsome, even the Little Chess Saint is having such a hard time?”
“Incredible…”
People marveled.
But in the end, Lu Xing placed a piece!
With this move, the white skeletal table before him suddenly vanished!
Immediately after that, a second table appeared.
With the first white skeletal table gone, part of the barrier also disappeared, allowing him to move forward about ten steps.
“He broke through the formation!”
“Truly worthy of the Little Chess Saint.”
“The Earth Element Alliance’s Little Chess Saint is indeed formidable!”
Everyone was astounded.
Lu Xing looked relieved, his face revealing an expression of unbridled joy. He immediately stepped forward and approached the second white skeletal table.
The young people from the Earth Element Alliance hurried to follow him!
Those who broke the formation could carve out a path!
This path allowed others to follow.
However, when Lu Xing sat down at the second bone-white chair, he was instantly stunned, looking at the chessboard, he seemed to have lost all sense of self!
“How terrifying is the second round?”
“Unbelievable!”
“There are nine chess boards in total, each one more frightening than the last.”
People discussed amongst themselves.
And at that moment.
“Someone from the Earth Spirit Alliance has broken the formation!”
People were shocked and turned to look.
There, a woman had broken the formation.
Clothed in a hazy light veil, her slender and graceful figure was barely visible, and in her hands appeared one sand table after another!
“It’s the Saintess Mu Chenxi from the Xuanzhen Sect; she’s so skilled!”
“The Heavenly Performance Sand Table of the Xuanzhen Sect? It’s said to be the painstaking work of generations of Sect Masters from the Xuanzhen Sect, capable of breaking all formations under heaven!”
“With this sand table, it’s as if all the past Sect Masters of Xuanzhen Sect are with Mu Chenxi!”
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, the people of the Earth Spirit Alliance excitedly followed Mu Chenxi.
Among the thousands of youths, only these two had broken through the first formation.
The various states and alliances were all at a loss!
“We cannot break the formation…”
Duanmu Yang, Ning Zhaoran, and other geniuses, after much deliberation, were simply unable to break the formation!
They lacked the innate talent of Lu Xing and didn’t have the resources and accumulation of the Xuanzhen Sect.
“It seems that our Earth Wind Alliance can only do this… Ning Zhaoran, make your move!”
At that moment, an old Profound Immortal from the Earth Wind Alliance spoke up!
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhaoran nodded, and immediately took out a crystal!
Meanwhile, four elders arrived from outside!
“To the four Chess Saints, please!”
The old Profound Immortal of the Earth Wind Alliance respectfully spoke, handing a crystal to the four!
Through the crystal, the chess board Ning Zhaoran was facing suddenly appeared before the four Chess Saints.
Seeing this, everyone understood.
“The Earth Wind Alliance… Are they planning to cheat?”
“Good heavens, it’s the Tianyan Four Chess Saints? These four were once the guiding stars of the Diling Realm, using chess as their path to enlightenment!”
“With these four intervening, fortune will likely fall into the hands of the Earth Wind Alliance!”
Everybody exclaimed.
And the Tianyan Four Chess Saints also nodded, with the leading Chess Saint
Bai Yizi saying:
“To play the ultimate chess game of the mortal world has always been our cherished wish!”
As they looked at the crystal, all four Chess Saints were taken aback.
“What a fearsome chessboard!”
“It contains hundreds of permutations, tens of thousands of lethal moves…”
“Such complexity, truly terrifying!”
All four expressed their sentiments. Then, they began to ponder deeply, making moves one after the other.
Finally, after a long time, the Earth Wind Alliance broke through the first chess board!
