Atop the high platform, amidst a misty brilliance, Li Ran waved his hand, and a vast chessboard instantly materialized in the Void.
Black and white pieces crisscrossed its surface, faintly taking the form of two True Dragons locked in a ferocious battle, their roars and hisses echoing intermittently.
Flanking the two True Dragons, one could see multi-colored currents of energy swirling together. They seemed to be offering support, yet they also appeared to be lying in wait, ready to devour the dragons at any moment.
In the depths of the board, a bloody light flickered and black mist billowed, suffused with a primordial aura. All around, pure qi, immortal light, and the divine radiance of stars lingered, at times threatening to surge and overpower the two dragons.
Prime Minister Jiang Lintian gazed at the chessboard, his eyes seemingly performing their own deductions as countless scenes flashed within them. In the end, his brow furrowed slightly.
