Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1760: Chapter 451: Chess Tao Thirteen, Formless Chess Heart (5K)

Such a spectacle, Li Hao had never witnessed even when observing his master, Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, making a move.

The chess Tao realm of the two elders before him was evidently far superior to his own, and even higher than his master’s, likely reaching the fourteenth or even fifteenth stage!

Li Hao transformed himself into a pawn on the chessboard, only able to glimpse the endless starry sky, observing the ten thousand Dao laws as order, with starlands scattered throughout, layered with realms, time overlapping, like a piece of fantastical scenery.

"Law order is the thread, space-time overlaps, past and future..."

Li Hao’s eyes were in a daze, chess Tao, chess akin to heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he had an epiphany in his heart: the emperor of chess Tao uses all beings as pieces; the sage of chess Tao takes heaven and earth as the board, using stars, rivers, sun, and moon as pieces; the ultimate chess Tao, the universe, the ancient chaos, all as a mere fragment, all as pieces.

His own chess Tao, goes against Yin and Yang to alter fate, all beings are pieces, including the opponent’s pieces, which can cleverly transform into his aid, yet the chess Tao before him vastly surpassed this, already transcending the chessboard, arranging itself amidst heavenly chaos.

"I am a piece..."

Li Hao gazed around, seeing himself already surrounded.

This piece of his had become a dead piece.

In an instant, it would be obliterated, removed from the board.

"A way out, a way out..."

Li Hao breathed rapidly, his eyes scanning around intensely, everything around was sealed, with no way to the heavens or the earth, where was the way out?

"Space-time, cross this space-time barrier..."

In this moment of crisis, an inspiration burst forth in Li Hao’s mind, his Time Origin had reached the Eighth Layer, glimpsing a route to the past that hadn’t yet been sealed, and he rushed towards it at full speed.

"Hmm?"

The two elders seated before the chessboard suddenly showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Elder Qi looked at the youth standing behind Elder Eight; the young man was now completely dazed, his eyes fixed on the chessboard as if entranced.

Just now, the opponent’s Divine Thought had actually touched a piece on the board, gently pushing it!

The moved piece, containing time power, escaped and disappeared, appearing in a past square, thus luckily avoiding the blockade.

But this clearly was against the rules; a move cannot be retracted, how can it be moved?

Moreover, this was not a true way to break the situation.

However, to see this point amidst their chess ability interwoven, already caused some astonishment for the two, after all, this youth’s soul life was only a few hundred years, not even one percent of those who called themselves emperors.

"Observing chess without speaking is a true gentleman, this little guy doesn’t speak but directly makes a move..."

Elder Qi couldn’t help but smile gently.

...

In front of the Nine-layer Heavenly Domain land.

Over the lake, the previously deep green lake was now stained with a dark red-brown blood, the once violent waves had now all calmed down.

The great battle that erupted here had already ended, high in the air, the snow-haired woman was panting, her entire dress soaked, with several wounds on her body, her dress also torn, clutching three silver-white light orbs in her hand.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the snow-haired woman’s face changed slightly, sensing an ominous sign, she didn’t hesitate for a moment, swiftly withdrawing from the lake and onto the land, reaching the surrounding void.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The snow-haired girl quickly rushed to her side, speaking urgently.

The snow-haired woman didn’t speak, instead swiftly absorbing the three clusters of Heavenly Dao power in her hand, and then heard the sound of something piercing through the air approaching, it was the Chaos Red Demon Clan and other Chaos Ancient Clans she had encountered earlier.

"Hmm?"

The Chaos Red Demon Clan youth and others saw the snow-haired woman, noticing she had arrived first at this Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain, their expressions slightly changed, soon discovering the wounds on her, clearly having experienced battle, so their faces became more unpleasant.

The Chaos Dao Seeds in the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Domain had already been swept by that Human Race, if the Chaos Dao Seeds in this Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain were taken by others again, they’d be left with no choice but to search the Seventh Layer.

But that would obviously be lagging behind others.

"Worthy of the Ancient Immortal Clan, your speed is indeed fast."

The Chaos Red Demon Clan youth sneered.

"Have you seen the Human Race?" Another Chaos Ancient Clan youth, with black wings on his back, spoke.

The snow-haired woman sensed the hostile gazes of the four, yet her expression returned to calm, saying, "Seen or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"You!"

Another Chaos Ancient Clan’s eyes gleamed with cold light, ready to act, although the one before them was a monster of the Ancient Immortal Clan, yet with their four joining forces, even risking a Domain Artifact, they had more than six.

As they conversed, a low growl suddenly interrupted them from within the land, as three massive figures of Chaos Dao Seeds flew up, two of which were terrifying bird-like creatures, the other resembling a fusion of lion and scorpion, its tail sharp, body covered in scales, yet the head bore a golden lion face.

"Three Chaos Dao Seeds!"

Upon seeing these three giant beasts, the eyes of the Chaos Red Demon Clan youth and others brightened.

The snow-haired woman’s expression changed slightly; having undergone the previous battle over the lake, she would not underestimate the Chaos Dao Seeds of this Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain, fortunately, she had retreated in time, otherwise, in her current state, surrounded by these three Chaos Dao Seeds, she’d be forced to use the Domain Artifact to escape.

"You’ve already hunted the Chaos Dao Seeds earlier, these three should belong to us!"

The Chaos Ancient Clan youth, with black wings on his back said, his eyes carrying a threat.

The other three heard this and turned their gazes on the snow-haired woman, as if ready to clash if she intended to compete.

The snow-haired woman, noticing their determined demeanor, smiled coldly, her eyes sharp, saying, "Before I change my mind, if you can kill them, it counts as your capability."
