The moment Ming Qi's fingers touched the chessboard, the scene before him suddenly shifted. The two men, who had been conversing across from each other, along with the chessboard, instantly transformed into tiny stars, dispersing in all directions.
"What the hell!"
Ming Qi was shocked. He had considered many possible outcomes, but nothing like this.
Before Ming Qi could react, the two voices rang out again.
"Fang Qing, as a Realm Lord, you naturally see that Tianhuang's fortune hasn't reached its end. Don't worry."
It was still Humu Divine Lord's voice, followed by the woman's slightly more hurried voice: "Tianhuang's fortune doesn't rest entirely on you, and you're not the Realm Lord of Tianhuang. Why are you so determined to fight Tiandi Shuo to the death?"
Ming Qi looked up in shock, only to find that in the sky above him, Realm Lord Fang Qing and Humu Divine Lord, both clad in dazzling battle armor, stood facing each other, like gods of the sky. "What's going on? Are all these illusions?"
Ming Qi gazed into the sky. Both Realm Master Fang Qing and Lord Humu looked like real people, making it hard to imagine they were illusions, things that simply didn't exist.
The mountaintop was completely empty, with only gray gravel mixed with gray, withered grass.
Unable to comprehend what was going on, Ming Qi simply sat down on the ground and listened quietly to their conversation.
This time, however, the two men didn't say much. The image in the sky gradually faded as they flew off into the distance. At the same time, the deafening sound of war drums echoed from the clearing below. Ming Qi hurriedly looked over and saw that the previously empty land had been completely filled by a dense army!
The next moment, countless masters and powerful individuals flew out from the army, engaging in a chaotic battle.
Dust billowed, the earth trembled, and the grandeur of a legendary war suddenly unfolded on this strange land. Even the mightiest warriors, capable of flight and escaping the earth, would seem dwarfed upon such a battlefield.
Ming Qi stared intently at the film-like, epic battle unfolding below, trying to decipher something from it.
By this point, he knew that whether it was the earlier chess match between Realm Master Fang Qing and Lord Hu Mu, their mid-air conversation, or the now raging, epic battle between immortals and demons, these were not groundless illusions but events that had truly occurred, events that had truly occurred on this very land!
Lord Humu, Realm Lord Fangqing, and a vast army...
As the battle intensified on the vast battlefield below, gigantic ancient beasts continued to join the fray. These terrifying war beasts were born for war. They lacked the space to awaken their intelligence, but they possessed boundless potential. Even a single one of these beasts could have a profound impact on the battlefield.
Watching the increasing number of war beasts joining, Ming Qi felt his eyes grow numb. Some of these behemoths he had heard of before, but most were completely unheard of!
These were all ancient beasts, and any one of them likely possessed the power to slay gods!
The battle lasted for about an hour before it ended. As the sea of blood and corpses before him quickly transformed into starlight and scattered in all directions, Ming Qi gradually recovered from his shock. This kind of war was the battlefield of the strong, the destiny of the strong!
Ming Qi had always imagined his own battlefield and his own understanding of war in his mind. But now, after witnessing such a magnificent battlefield, he realized that his understanding was far from the real battlefield.
After relaxing his muscles and bones, Ming Qi was about to turn and leave when a strange scene appeared in the sky again.
Ming Qi looked up and was shocked to see Hu Mu Divine Lord emerging from a sea of corpses and blood, covered in blood. In one hand he held a sword, in the other a human head, his gaze fixed on Realm Master Fang Qing as he walked away.
Fang Qing's figure gradually faded, and Hu Mu Divine Lord remained silent, watching him disappear into the distance.
"You've always understood that my path is utterly different from yours. This is an unchangeable fact. My path is nearing its end. Today, let me unleash the power of God-killing to bring this war to an end!"
With that, the Tiger Wood God's robe fluttered, and the bloody head in his hand suddenly flew into the air. Then, sword in hand, he turned and took a single step, striking out hundreds of miles away!
The power of God-killing!
Hearing these words, Ming Qi was suddenly struck. Could it be that even mortal cultivators in ancient times possessed the power of God-killing?
And the word "Dao" was the most common word Ming Qi heard in their conversation. Could it be that after reaching a certain level of cultivation, the only way to achieve a breakthrough is to find one's own path?
But Ming Qi didn't have time to ponder these questions. The aerial scene shocked him once again.
As the Tiger Wood Divine Lord soared, his entire body suddenly erupted in a dazzling golden glow, and the longsword in his hand radiated a terrifying, fiery blade. His target was a massive city suspended in the air ahead!
This suspended city, roughly several miles in radius, shimmered a shimmering azure blue, with circles of pale blue ripples constantly spreading outward in all directions.
Around the vast city, towering swordsmen wearing blue armor and bearing wings constantly patrolled. Teams of similarly armored swordsmen continuously flew out from the city, heading off into the distance, seemingly on their way to join another battle.
As soon as the Tiger Wood Divine Lord entered the ten-mile radius of the massive blue city, a large number of blue-armored swordsmen quickly surged toward him. Although Ming Qi couldn't discern the strength of these blue-armored swordsmen, their incredibly agile and nimble movements suggested they were definitely no less powerful than Martial Emperors!
Countless Martial Emperor-level masters!
Ming Qi found himself constantly captivated since entering this mysterious world. From the chess match between Humu Divine Lord and Fang Qing Realm Lord, their conversation, the epic battle, to the moment Humu Divine Lord was about to unleash his god-killing power—every scene contained a profound and mystical message, captivating and captivating.
In ancient times, heroes emerged in droves, immortals and demons clashed, and even those who achieved the status of True God faced a significant risk of falling. After all, cultivation flourished in ancient times, and the god-killing power alone was comparable to the immortal arts unleashed today.
Facing the oncoming horde of swordsmen, Humu Divine Lord simply swept his sword, and hundreds of blue-armored swordsmen instantly transformed into soulless puppets. In the blink of an eye, they plummeted from the sky, never to be seen again.
Within a few breaths, Lord Humu had already rushed to the front of the giant blue city. He raised his sword high, condensing an unprecedented brilliant sword light, and then slashed at the giant city in front of him!
