Chapter 979 Playing Chess with a Senior Monk (5 More)

"The fourth level is an illusion?"

Even though Ye Chen was soaked in a pool of blood and invaded by all kinds of evil thoughts, his heart was still like a bright mirror, holding Yuan Shouyi in his arms and never being eroded by any emotions.

He awakened to the law of killing early, and his heart was as solid as a rock.

As long as Ye Chen doesn't have the intention to kill himself, no external emotions can affect him.

He is full of killing aura, which he can freely control.

It has to be said that this blood pool is indeed terrifying and can inspire the murderous intention deep in people's hearts.

Everyone, no matter how gentle or good-tempered he is, always has some malicious thoughts deep in his heart. No matter how slight the thought is, so light that you cannot detect it, it still exists.

Once soaked in the blood pool, the murderous intention in your heart will be overwhelming and inevitable.

"This method is fine for dealing with ordinary geniuses, but it's too far behind to deal with me."

Ye Chen sneered, and waves of terrifying energy burst out from his body, forcing the blood pool away.

Then, he stepped on the void and stepped onto the shore.

The so-called killing could not shake his mind at all.

The moment Ye Chen stepped ashore, the surrounding scene changed again. The so-called blood pool and bloody world completely disappeared without a trace. There were still seven steps in front of him, and he had already stepped on the fifth level with one foot.

A rich energy of chaos was injected into his body, melting into his limbs and bones.

Another big improvement.

brush!

Suddenly hundreds of sword energies filled the void, unbridled.

A sharp breath hit his face.

On the fifth level, countless sword energy gathered like a torrent.

If it were any other genius standing here, they would probably be killed by this sword energy if they were caught off guard.

"Sword energy?"

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth curled up.

He finally figured it out. There were seven levels in this ladder, and each level experienced different tests.

These tests are all random, and the further you go up, the more difficult it becomes.

I just didn’t expect that the fifth level would be sword energy!

How could I find my area of ​​expertise?

Ye Chen smiled, a terrifying sword intent burst out from his body, and a real dragon hovered outside.

laugh!

The void was torn apart.

The sword energy that came towards him all pierced Ye Chen's dragon sword intention, but it didn't even break through it.

Ye Chen has reached the realm of sword soul. Except for Xiao Yunmang, no one in the entire Qinglian world can compare with him in the realm of swordsmanship, so he can easily break these sword spirits.

The fifth floor was just crossed.

And the benefit he got was that his sword power was slightly enhanced.

However, these enhancements are nothing more than drizzle to Ye Chen.

Having reached the sixth floor in one breath, Ye Chen felt confident in his heart.

boom!

After entering the sixth floor, Ye Chen felt a terrifying coercion coming down from his head, as if a superior god was looking at him with pity, as if everything in front of him was an ant.

This is a desolate world. Ye Chen is in a huge dilapidated square, surrounded by ruins.

Many thick stone pillars were broken in the middle, with smoke billowing from them.

This world is extremely terrifying. Countless mysterious lights are scattered above the head. Each ray is as heavy as a meteor. The oppressed people can't breathe. It seems that there are countless powerful men of the emperor level standing in the sky, releasing the pressure. .

Ye Chen was caught off guard, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

He suddenly supported the ground in front of him with both hands.

Click!

His hands sunk deep into the ground.

The muscles all over his body were bulging inch by inch, showing blue veins.

The heat in the body flowed crazily, washing over the limbs and bones.

The spine seemed to turn into a swimming dragon, gradually lifting Ye Chen's body up. His legs stood straight, and his will remained strong even in the face of mountain-like pressure.

At the end of the square ahead is a curtain of light.

Ye Chen moved slowly and walked towards the light curtain.

At this level, Ye Chen spent the most time.

It took half an hour to reach the light curtain, dripping with sweat.

Several times, when he could no longer hold on, he instinctively wanted to transform into a demon and rush to the exit in one breath by relying on the emperor's strength and realm.

But he soon remembered that the tests here would continue to increase in difficulty according to changes in combat power.

Even if you transform into an emperor, it may not be much easier.

Fortunately, I finally gritted my teeth and persevered.

When Ye Chen stepped out of the light curtain, he felt that all the fatigue in his body was gone.

Back to the state before breaking through the level again.

After entering the seventh floor, everything in front of Ye Chen felt familiar.

In the woods, on the flat ground, there is a wooden house.

In the pavilion in front of the wooden house, an old monk sat cross-legged. He was wearing an ordinary gray monk's robe, with a kind smile and a gentle expression. On the stone table in front of him, there was a chess game.

"Come on, little friend, come and play a few games with me."

The old monk smiled and waved to Ye Chen, gesturing for him to come.

Ye Chen glanced around. Isn't this the same wooden house he saw when he came?

Is it possible that after entering the seventh floor, he returned to the same place again?

Seeing that Ye Chen seemed a little hesitant, the old monk smiled and said, "No need to be surprised, this is indeed the seventh level of the Buddhist stone steps, and the test on the seventh level is to play chess with me."

"Playing chess?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and his eyes fell on the chessboard.

He pondered for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, "Senior, I don't understand chess."

Actually, Ye Chen can play chess.

But, after all, he is not an expert in this field. He can play chess casually, but he is far from being good enough to play chess.

"It doesn't matter. This chessboard is not an ordinary chessboard, and playing chess here is not an ordinary chess game."

The old monk smiled gently, "It is not easy to climb all the way to the seventh floor. You sit down first, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Seeing the old monk say this, Ye Chen could only agree.

He gritted his teeth and sat opposite the old monk, looking at the chessboard.

The next moment, he felt that the chessboard suddenly became huge, turning into a small world, and a stream of boundless Taoism bloomed from it, constantly impacting Ye Chen's body, as if to absorb his soul into it.

This... Is this the trend of heaven and earth?

Ye Chen's pupils shrank slightly, unbelievable.

"My friend, I will make the first move."

The old monk smiled slightly, holding the black chess piece in his hand, and slowly landed on an empty space on the chessboard.

Sixteen columns and sixteen rows, stars!

On the Go board, there are four small dots around, called stars.

This is a battleground for military strategists!

As the chess piece fell, the void was violently turbulent, and unexpected changes occurred.

A series of light curtains fell, forming a great trend behind the old monk, which was irresistible.

Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he was confused by the chessboard and had no idea how to place the chess pieces.

With his mediocre skills, playing against this old monk, isn't it courting death?

This is the last level of the Buddhist stone steps, and the inheritance relic is right in front of him.

How can I give up?

Just as Ye Chen frowned and thought hard, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Fall here!"

At the same time, a brilliance that only he could see appeared in front of Ye Chen, guiding him to place the pieces.

It was the Emperor Xiang.
