Chapter 694: Fighting with Dazzling Brilliance [Third Update]
The conversation between Ji Qiankun and Ji Chongxuan, however, had the outside world rolling with laughter.
In such a tense and solemn atmosphere, their words could not help but make people chuckle.
With their cultivation, unless all other Heavenly Prides fought to the death, they might have a chance to win.
Glancing around, there appeared to be seventy-three Heavenly Prides still alive.
Most of them were at the edge of the Saintly Genius Chessboard, their eyes locked on each other, filled with murderous intent.
Having reached this point, no one wanted to stop.
They were just a few steps away from becoming divine!
Tian Cheng Divine Monarch looked towards Su Yie, who was cultivating; he squinted his eyes, which flashed with battle intent.
Even though he now knew it was his own brother, he wanted even more to defeat Su Yie, to prove himself.
He was the strongest Son of the Heavenly Emperor!
Polar Emperor was also watching Su Yie; he could feel that Su Yie had grown stronger.
Li Huahun felt the same, wanting to fight Su Yie as well.
But they all understood it was not the time.
Just then,
a figure flitted through the sandstorm, making his way toward the solitary peak where Sun Wukong stood.
His aura was powerful, preventing sand and stones from coming within ten meters of him.
With flowing sleeves in the wind, a deep blue martial robe fluttered around him, his face handsome with a hint of a barely-there smile.
His gaze was steadily fixed on the solitary peak ahead, his goal clear—he was challenging Sun Wukong!
With so many Heavenly Prides remaining, he was challenging Sun Wukong!
Nobody questioned or mocked him.
Just because he was Zhou Xuanhai.
The top-ranked existence in the Ten Strategies of the Chessboard!
Even more powerful than Lord Huo Zhan!
"Zhou Xuanhai is here, he's going to fight Sun Wukong?"
"That's Zhou Xuanhai for you, truly the number one genius of the Heavenly Court!"
"Tsk, this is going to be a good show."
"Only Zhou Xuanhai would dare challenge the Great Sage Equaling Heaven like this."
"Opportunity has arrived!"
Seeing Zhou Xuanhai's action, the Heavenly Prides who had teamed up in twos and threes suddenly grew excited.
The countless beings on the outside were even more excited.
Zhou Xuanhai fighting Sun Wukong was definitely bound to be an epic battle!
Both had the qualifications to become divine!
This battle could potentially determine the outcome of the Saintly Genius Chessboard!
Su Yie opened his eyes and frowned deeply.
As of now, he had only reached the cultivation of a Perfected Supreme Saint of Infinite Primal Chaos, always a step away from the Supreme Great Emperor of Infinity.
Feeling Zhou Xuanhai's aura, he sensed there was still a gap between them.
Of course, only a gap!
Su Yie did not feel he was certain to lose.
In the distance, Lord Huo Zhan also stepped forward.
He approached the solitary peak from another direction.
His appearance caused all the Heavenly Prides to breathe rapidly.
What was he planning?
Zhou Xuanhai and Lord Huo Zhan together fighting Sun Wukong?
Boom!
Hongmeng Chaos exploded!
"The main event is here!"
"Worthy of being the three overlords of the Ten Strategies of the Chessboard, so domineering!"
"Such an aura…"
"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven can definitely laugh last!"
"I bet on Zhou Xuanhai!"
"Hmm? I think it's the Celestial Authority Demon Star, or maybe those two Extreme Flame Demon Gods."
Countless beings were excited, cheering for the Heavenly Pride they admired.
Ancient Wilderness, Shen Saint Realm, Earth, Dustblade Sect, and other places Su Yie had visited were also bubbling with unstoppable excitement.
Su Zhenhe and his wife, together with Su Yi's family, sat at home, gripped by nervousness.
A century had passed, and Su Yi's family was now bustling with children and grandchildren, five generations watching the battle together.
And so was the rest of the world.
"The Great Saint is so cool!"
A ten-year-old boy from the Su Family said with a face full of admiration.
A young girl hummed, "The Golden Crow War God is even more handsome, you know!"
The whole family was arguing with their eyes closed, but the scene was quite joyful.
Zhang Lan gripped Su Zhenhe's hand nervously and whispered, "Could something happen to him?"
Su Zhenhe reassured, "Don't worry, it has been a hundred years, and he has always turned danger into safety; this time will be no different."
Elsewhere.
Nan Xiaopao sat alone at the windowsill, facing the sunlight, her eyes tightly shut.
One hundred years had passed, and she had grown more mature, yet she still looked as youthful as ever, with no change in her appearance or physique.
She didn't speak, simply watching anxiously.
Every time she thought of giving up her yearning for Su Yie, she couldn't help but close her eyes to watch the prodigy chessboard battles.
Seeing Su Yie fighting alone in dangerous solitude, her heart nearly burst from the pain.
Her continuous safety was all thanks to Su Yie.
Whenever she thought about this, she felt somewhat guilty.
As the final battle approached, her anxiety intensified.
Inside the hall.
Her parents were also sighing.
A hundred years was a long time for them.
They had advised Nan Xiaopao to give up on Su Yie, but seeing Su Yie's struggles always made them soften their hearts.
Perhaps after winning the prodigy chessboard, Su Yie would seek out Nan Xiaopao.
For this reason, Nan Xiaopao, despite being over a hundred years old, had never had a relationship, leading the neighbors to think there might be something wrong with her psychologically.
"Su Yie, keep it up."
Nan Xiaopao's mother murmured softly.
That phrase resonated throughout the All Heavens Universe.
Meanwhile.
Within the Emperor Su's Sect.
Divine Authority of the Netherworld: Su Yie must win, Li Huahun and Sun Wukong are both fighting represented by the Hongmeng Divine Spirits.
Sun Wukong, snorting, said, "Humph, I now represent the Emperor Su's Sect!"
Tai Su Sword Lord, "You!"
Yin Yang God Shaker laughed, "Hahaha, the old man is still around, Brother Monkey, take me with you!"
Iron Master Yuanyang God said, "Sun Wukong, be careful not to get surrounded and killed."
Celestial Martial Emperor, "I didn't expect that my brother is still around."
Yin Baoyang said, "I feel like Zhou Xuanhai has a better chance of winning."
...
Glancing at the chat inside Emperor Su's Sect, Su Yie flipped his right hand, drawing the Demon Emperor Sword, and stepped forward.
He was determined to win fairly!
Even though there was a gap between him, Zhou Xuanhai, and Lord Huo Zhan, he was ready to fight!
In the last year, he wanted to shine brilliantly and fight with spirit!
With Su Yie's step, the other Heavenly Prides were stunned.
Facing Zhou Xuanhai, Lord Huo Zhan, and Sun Wukong, Su Yie, the Perfected Supreme Saint of Infinite Primal Chaos, dared to stand forward!
Although the Heavenly Prides knew of Su Yie's prowess, they were still frightened by his audacity.
Su Yie's action excited those who supported him.
Having watched Su Yie for decades or even a hundred years, they had long identified with him, and if it were them, they wouldn't dare to do the same!
Zhou Xuanhai and Lord Huo Zhan also noticed Su Yie's actions.
The desert was quite flat; apart from the flying sand, with their vision power, it was easy to see the moves of other Heavenly Prides.
"Interesting."
Lord Huo Zhan's lips curled slightly into a smile.
Just then!
The Polar Emperor and Li Huahun both made their moves!
Seeing Su Yie stepping out, how could they restrain themselves?
Tian Cheng Divine Monarch furrowed his brow, not wanting to admit he was weaker than Su Yie, and he followed in stepping forward.
Whoosh—
The Heavenly Prides were all astir as six of them moved toward Sun Wukong together!
What are they doing?
There's still a year left!
Do they need to be this aggressive?
Atop a solitary peak, Sun Wukong slowly stood up, holding the Golden Cudgel in his right hand, stretching and laughing roguishly, "Hehe, you've come at just the right time! Old man has been impatient for a while now!"
