Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 548 - 520

Chapter 548: 520

The cycle of the Five Virtues had come full circle, and it was now during the transition from the Fire Virtue to the Water Virtue.

As long as a sufficient number and weight of Water Virtue Flood Dragons perished during this "All Living Beings Tribulation" in the contest for the Dragon of the Human Dao,

they could collaboratively spark with our Venerable God from within and without, ultimately detonating the great flood in the collective human dreamscape.

Creating yet another colossal collision between Heaven and Earth, unleashing an unstoppable "Human Dao Torrent" to execute the second door-knocking plan since Mu King’s era, which goes beyond the "Earth Gate."

Qi Buyu had failed to notice the suddenly constricted pupils of Xing’er upon learning about the trigger condition.

Nor the extremely unsightly expressions of Wang Yuan and his group, who were hiding behind those pair of pupils.

Assuming these were all common knowledge to the Nine-Tailed Fox, he continued to speak with ease:

"Therefore, in the next three days, it doesn’t matter who dies; as long as it is a Water Virtue Flood Dragon, it will suffice.

If it weren’t for the No-Life Dao wishing to take this opportunity to retaliate against Star Lord Taibai and King Jing, while also trying to take over the entirety of Yu State,

to build Song Xingyun’s empire of the Hidden Dragon, and to crown the One-Eyed Stone Man onto the throne of the Dharma Image Realm, they might not have chosen this tough bone to crack."

However, saying that, whether it be Song Xingyun or the One-Eyed Stone Man, they’re all excellent kindling for the "Human Dao Torrent!"

Xing’er forcefully suppressed the expressions on her face to avoid showing any oddities, and inquired in as calm a voice as possible:

"So, your remedial plan is actually trying to...?"

Qi Buyu himself was an Avalon that came to life from a lost game.

Just like a chess player who can’t help but explain the intricacies of a good game to a bystander after replaying it, the more he spoke, the prouder he became:

"With only three days at hand, which is indeed urgent, I proposed a brilliant plan to the Venerable God, and it has been accepted.

Let’s start with the chess game.

You must be aware of the endgame that nurtured me and caused two top Chess Masters to cough blood and die; this endgame is actually known as ’Thousand-Layer Pagoda.’

It is one of the three great Zhenlong Chess that circulate in the world along with the ’Martial Arts Demonstration Map’ and Mo Luo Country’s ’Ten Calamities Formation,’ well-known to all Chess Masters.

This game is full of crises within crises, boasts mutual survival, longevity, counterattacks, and consolidations. Spending pentagons and collecting hexagons, it is exceedingly complex, locking up all possible outcomes, with no one able to unravel it to this day.

But I’ve painstakingly studied for more than two hundred years and finally, through the current situation, have realized a genius move, a ’Divine Hand’ that is extremely clever.

It’s called: Self-Renunciation (suicide in a large area to liberate the whole game).

With one step back, one can trade small for big, placing oneself in mortal danger to then find life!"

As Qi Buyu spoke, he turned around.

He faced the Turbid River, which, like a Great Dragon, spanned from west to east across the entire northern part of Red County Shenzhou, and waved his hand.

Huh—!

Chess and formation interweaved and manifested.

The Zhenlong Chess ’Thousand-Layer Pagoda,’ made up of 213 chess pieces, was stacked layer by layer, each placed upon the Spirit Mechanism nodes of the Water Dragon Vein, collectively shaping the figure of a pagoda.

Firmly suppressing the Great Dragon from struggling free.

Originally, this ’Zhenlong Chess - Thousand-Layer Pagoda’ endgame that had ironically exhausted two top Chess Masters and left them undecided, was now unconquerable.

In Qi Buyu’s hand, however, another chess piece suddenly appeared, which he threw without hesitation towards the final water node at the source of the Turbid River, also aiming for a corner of the chess game.

"This is...!"

Xing’er, after all, was once an Oiran, proficient in all arts including Qinqi.

Even without Qi Buyu’s explanation, she could see the trick in this move for herself.

In this game, he still had two eyes, essentially live pieces, but now he deliberately filled in one, turning it into a dead group.

He planned to self-cut the Great Dragon, conceding the game willingly.

Moreover, the Zhenlong Array he laid out in the Turbid River, the Great Dragon he intended to cut was evidently not just the game itself, but also... the One-Eyed Stone Man who had just died once!

"No—!"

From the riverbed, the roaring currents surged forward, the rolling waves roaring like a trapped beast.

Normally, the revived "One-Eyed Stone Man," even without its original memories or personality, would still retain the corresponding Green Seal Realm ability.

Qi Buyu was now determined to do the utmost; backed by the Heavenly Official, he directly sought to knock down the One-Eyed Stone Man’s realm and status.

To throw even its entire Green Seal Realm expertise into the sacrificial altar.

After all, this avatar of the Disaster Face of the Water Dragon Vein of Red County Shenzhou, along with the birth and prosperity of the Yan and Huang Clan, had brought countless painful memories to this nation.

Among all the Water Virtue Hidden Dragons, who else would be more appropriate as the "fuse" of the "Human Dao Torrent"?

And not just the One-Eyed Stone Man.

According to Qi Buyu, in order to accomplish the second door-knocking of the Heavenly Official in the First Month, they had completely thrown caution to the wind.

It seemed all the controlled regions of all four Sects had begun similar enactments, until they gathered the required amount.

Wang Yuan might have been able to prevent these Demon Sects from killing others,

but how was he to deal with a group of madmen determined to commit collective suicide? How could this possibly be thwarted?!
