At the same time.

Under the control of his companions, an elder who left the Tao has found the best time.

However, when he activated the power of Taoism and was about to manifest a torrent, the surrounding space suddenly became chaotic, as if a flat white paper was suddenly crumpled into a ball, and the scene in front of him changed.

It was so twisted and weird that he instantly lost his sense of Nan Yingtan.

A bad premonition suddenly surged through his body, and he cast his gaze downwards involuntarily, seeing an extremely horrifying scene.

All tangible materials are slowly disintegrating and turning into tiny pieces of dust. The majestic and majestic royal city seems to have passed thousands of years in an instant, and is disintegrating in the wind like gravel.

Also disintegrated were everyone in the royal city.

Whether it was the Lingce soldiers waving swords, the royal city cultivators fighting bloody battles, or the menacing Dao Ling clan masters, they all stood strangely still in place, with their entire bodies disintegrating into black or white light spots from bottom to top.

.

Even the battlefield outside the royal city was affected, covering a radius of five miles.

Except for a handful of cultivators above the level who managed to escape with all their lives, most people turned into members of the light spot before they even had the thought of escaping.

The Lidao elder suddenly felt uncontrollable astonishment, because he could no longer sense the slightest breath of these people, as if...as if they were all dead, not even the bodies were left!

Are the Southern Royal Family crazy?!

In order to protect Nanhuang Star, they were willing to risk everyone's lives?

What a crazy strategy this is!

No, that's not right...

If they planned to die together from the beginning, why did they send people to go to great lengths to bring Nan Yanhe back to the royal city?

Unless it's...

In an instant, thousands of thoughts went through the mind of this Li Dao elder, until a deep chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Nan Yingtan has broken away from the aura lock. How dare he still be distracted and think about these things at this time?

As soon as this thought emerged, a bright star appeared in his field of vision.

The Milky Way is bright and the night is endless.

Thousands of stars fell down and cut off his neck.

In the blurry field of vision, Nan Yingtan could be vaguely seen passing by like a ghost, and a palm imprinted on the back of another Lidao elder.

…

"scold!"

The third Lidao elder was also trapped by the sudden starlight. When he uttered the truth and finally broke through the shackles, what he saw was this scene.

One companion's body and head were separated like a puppet, and the "corpse" gradually melted into nothingness under the starlight. The other companion staggered back, and his Tao was shattered into pieces like porcelain, leaving a person on his back.

The blood-red palm prints seeped into his whole body, like the most stubborn cancer.

"Ahem...are you taking over as the leader of Lone Star?" Elder Li Dao coughed up blood and stared straight ahead.

The scene suddenly became two versus three.

Although the gray-robed man who suddenly appeared did not look amazing, he just came through the air at will, making the two Lidao elders of the Daoling tribe feel suffocating pressure.

Because only one of the three of them is in the middle stage of leaving the Tao, and the other two are in the early stage, but the unfathomable opponent in front of them has obviously mastered the means of eradicating Taoism.

Xingshou calmly did not answer, but cast his gaze somewhere in the void, and his originally brown-black eyes suddenly turned dark.

The expressions of the two Li Dao elders changed, and they took action without hesitation, wrapping the area with Dao principles.

There seemed to be invisible energy intersecting, and cracks spread in the air like spider webs. A weak light golden energy escaped from them, and they gathered together with difficulty.

The Lidao elder who had just lost his head appeared again, but his body felt unreal and illusory, and his face was so pale that it seemed transparent.

Obviously, this is a body that he embodied using Tao principles, but a real body of flesh and blood cannot be reshaped in a moment.

"Leave this to me, you go and complete your mission." Xingshou said to Nan Yingtan without looking back.

Nan Yingtan nodded lightly and looked down at the devastated land.

I saw that the collapsed royal city was completely reduced to an unfathomable abyss. Apart from the cold breath of death, there was no trace of the existence of life.

He didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense. He fell straight down like a meteor and fell into the abyss without a trace.

…

Vertical and horizontal lines, black and white chess game.

Light and shadow, illusory reality.

What is this? A dream?

As his scattered consciousness gradually awakened, the first thing Shang Tianyu did was to protect his whole body with Tao Yun, and then took stock of his surroundings.

He only remembered that a moment ago, Fu Jirui crushed a crystal, and then they were thrown away by the turbulent space currents. Unfortunately, he fell around the royal city and fell into unpredictable darkness.

We haven't encountered any attacks yet...lucky among misfortunes.

Shang Xianyu calmed down a little and observed more things.

For example, a white light curtain shrouded him, hazy, half-real or half-illusory.

Surrounded by a monotonous black and white world, lines criss-crossed the entire space with no beginning or end.

What is this place? Is it... a formation?

Shang Xianyu suddenly felt a little confused. He thought that although he was not the number one genius in the southern realm, he still had first-class vision and insights. However, the strange world in front of him was completely beyond his knowledge and understanding. It seemed that he had accepted it since he was a child.

My common sense was shattered at this moment.

How can you leave? Where are the others? Why can't you see anyone?

Boundless panic crawled throughout his body, until a huge voice rang out from the void.

"I declare that in this round, the black stones go first, and the white stones come last."

"I make a covenant, the loser of the black one will be reciprocated, and the loser of the white one will be wiped out."

"I testify that the three black ones accompany each other, and the three white ones repel each other."

"When all the white stones are gone, the game ends."

This is... the voice of the Formation Emperor Xu Yanting?

What black and white pieces...is this really a chess game?

Shang Xianyu looked at the white light curtain in front of him, his expression suddenly solidified.

This is undoubtedly the most unfair chess rule he has ever heard, but... this is war.

Falling on someone else's chessboard is like fish falling on the chopping board.

The only way is to break this cage and return to the real outside world.

But this is absolutely impossible.

If you want to break the formation, you must find the nodes, but this formation... let's call it a formation. The most disappointing thing about it is that it has no fixed nodes.

In other words, everyone here is a node.

It has violated the traditional formation theory. How to crack it? Where to crack it?

"Ta, ta, ta."

There were footsteps.

Shang Xianyu slowly raised his head and saw Fu Jirui carrying a long sword at his waist, following the lines of the chessboard, walking towards him step by step.

"Shang Zhenyu."
Chapter completed!
