Killing Dao Fruit

Chapter 552: Chapter 522: Scissor Gap, Immortal’s Scheme

Great Red Heaven Realm, Southern Heavenly Gate Array.

This is the highest point of the entire Mortal World Realm, standing here, it seems that by simply reaching out one’s hand, one can touch the golden summits and mountain peaks of the thirty-three heavens above.

The sun and moon palaces were situated to the east and west of the sky, respectively, and a milky white Heavenly River, shimmering with starlight, spanned the entire thirty-three heavens.

The Heavenly Spirit Qi from beyond and the Earth Spirit Qi from Mortal World constantly collided and merged, igniting great bursts of brilliant clouds.

Purple, blue, gold, red, white—the clouds and mists surged, a breathtaking sight.

It was indeed: "Purple qi sweeps across thirty thousand miles, the blue sky carries the sun and the moon!"

One could not perceive the bloody horror hidden behind the Heavenly Realm, filled with filth and corruption.

"Xing’er and Bo’an have done quite well.

Human effort has its limits, a group of Heavenly Officials even used the tactic of slicing their own flesh.

To preserve Su Guyun and capture Qi Buyu, to have recouped the losses to this extent is already not easy."

Wang Yuan, clad in a jade crown and green robe, with boots on his feet, sat poised atop the clouds, his head crowned with the mighty light of the Earthly Que Magic and integrated with the array.

In addition to the Three Yang Ruyi he always held, there appeared a half chess piece in his hand.

The convex side was white, and the flat side was black; the neatly split halves emitted yellow and blue light from the fractures.

Within the gleam, the majestic sight of "Thousand-Layer Treasure Pagoda" faintly emerged.

The origin of this chess piece, a Deceit Object, was none other.

It was indeed from Qi Buyu, who had constantly struggled between the identities of "Chess Player" and "Chess Piece"!

Two days earlier.

Lead by Xing’er, the Five Senses ultimately failed to prevent Qi Buyu from slaying the One-Eyed Stone Man for the second time.

The One-Eyed Stone Man, invaluable and defenseless, would have been slain by Qi Buyu even if not by the No-Life Buddha, the source of contamination; it was simply unstoppable.

However, after learning the truth from his mouth, this deceitful immortal had lost his usefulness.

Influenced by the guile of Xing’er, the fox spirit, Qi Buyu didn’t put up a decent fight and allowed her to extract the Killing Dao Fruit from his body.

Nevertheless, his "Self-Cutting Great Dragon," once suggested to the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official and adopted, had already made its move.

And it would determine whether he could truly "win by a half step" based on the final outcome.

It also decided whether Qi Buyu could advance to become Green Seal Sage!

As it turned out, although he was already dead and his body had transformed into this half chess piece, his promotion did not halt.

The piece, now half yellow and half blue, continued to solidify toward pure blue.

The ethereal "Thousand-Layer Treasure Pagoda" was also evidently about to transform into a real "Inner Scene Heaven and Earth."

However, Wang Yuan’s face showed no joy.

Once this Deceit Object: "Half-Step Victory" was fully formed, it would mean that Qi Buyu truly had turned the impossible into possible, creating a "Human Dao Torrent"!

The damage he had brought to the human path far exceeded the value of a Green Seal Deceit Object.

"Half-Step Victory? Speaking of which, could I use this ’Half-Step Victory’ to do something?"

Wang Yuan, listening to the description of the Deceit Object from the Heart Communication Conch, fell into thought.

Ability: Zhenlong Chess/ Half-Step Victory.

One, Zhenlong Chess:

All kinds of strategies are integrated into the chess game.

[True Eye], [Fake Eye], [Dragon Slayer], [King’s Carriage Replacement], [Chu River Han Border], [Camp Whistling], [River Patrol Cannon], [Carrying Cannon]...

All chess techniques can be borrowed at will to deploy troops, battle, and command effortlessly, with nothing but success.

Else: There are two other Zhenlong Chessboards in the world: "Martial Arts Demonstration Map" and "Ten Calamities" which, after being successively pursued by "Knowledge," have also all joined under the command of Heavenly Eye Dao.

If all three great Zhenlong Chessboards can be gathered in the future, surprises await.

Two, Half-Step Victory:

To play chess with Heaven, winning by a half-step means to secure a slight advantage even against God!

However, everything, including the chess player himself, is part of the Heavenly Dao; how can man possibly win against Heaven?

Thus, "Half-Step Victory" does not mean that the chess player is stronger than the entire Heavenly Dao.

It means that at this moment, the chess player is not controlled by the Heavenly Dao’s cycle of "Fate," and can create unbelievable miracles!

[Precept Taboo:

Ability one "Zhenlong Chess" can be used without restriction; the stronger the chess skills, the more powerful the effect.

But the prerequisite for casting ability two "Half-Step Victory" is that it must be "self-completed."

Pay a painful price, even betting everything, with life as a pawn, only then is there a certain possibility to create a miracle!

Note one: Fate is like a chess game.

Every person, regardless of status, is a chess piece belonging to someone at a higher decision level.

All are on a giant chessboard, each with their own utility value; no one is an absolute chess player.

Ants are at the lowest, Heavenly Dao at the highest; the lower the position of the chess player, the tougher the predicaments they face, and the greater the price they must pay.

Note two: Perhaps only those who truly step outside of the Heavenly Dao could realistically contemplate winning against Heaven, winning by a half-step?

"Outsider, outsider..."

He ruminated over these words.

Relying on Star Lord Taibai’s power of Exorcism and Disaster, Wang Yuan subconsciously felt this half chess piece might be his "Great Fortune" in the future.

Perhaps even the key to his own reverse play of "Half-Step Victory"!

However, unable to comprehend it for now, he temporarily set it aside.

"No matter how difficult the situation, life still goes on; fretting all day is of no use.

Since I have no solutions now, I might as well let Sister Ruan, Cloud Lord, and others worry about it."
