Buzz buzz buzz!
The power of space, accompanied by the dazzling starlight, continuously swept through the air.
This teleportation seemed completely different from the previous ones. A blurry passage, visible to the naked eye, stretched out beneath Ye Wuque's feet, making him appear as if he were traversing the cosmos.
Everything around you flashed by rapidly to both sides, becoming increasingly blurry, but if you looked further into the distance, you could see many ancient and mysterious phenomena.
The vast power of time and space flows within it, which Ye Wuque, who possesses the Dao of Time and Space, can perceive with particular sensitivity.
"The ancient path of burning heaven, the central way of suppressing destiny, reveals a new path..."
"Three lines were divided according to different timelines."
"But these three paths do not seem to have been deliberately created out of thin air. Rather, they seem to have been placed in a special location by an unimaginably powerful being, who then opened up the three paths from there."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many ancient and mysterious phenomena, filled with an epic sense of time."
Ye Wuque gazed in all directions, trying to see the farthest area possible, lost in thought.
He saw many brilliant, unfamiliar civilizations flash by, from birth, evolution, reproduction, peak, decline, collapse, and dissipation... repeating endlessly, like a wave in the vast expanse of time.
This is not something that came out of thin air; it must be a sign of a real civilization that once existed.
The teleportation channel continued forward, its speed increasing, and began to exhibit various chaotic and turbulent movements, as if some inexplicable and terrifying situation lay ahead.
Ye Wuque remained unmoved, and the various strange phenomena of civilizations in the distance began to blur and disappear, and the light began to dim, as if an eternal night had descended.
Gradually, strange creatures seemed to appear in the darkness, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
A fleeting glimpse of crimson eyes, cold and cruel, stared at Ye Wuque inside the teleportation tunnel.
There is a strange flow of water surging in the darkness. At first glance, there is nothing there, but if you look closely, you can see countless wronged souls floating and sinking within it.
A mysterious, bright red flower blooms in the darkness, seemingly reaching the sky. At its tip, in the center, lies a fiery red, jade-like fruit that exudes a vast and perfect aura, seemingly representing a great opportunity. Yet, at the base of this mysterious and beautiful flower, countless piles of flesh and bones can be seen.
A bizarre creature with nine heads, its body like a ghost, streaked across the void, howling fiercely at the sky.
...
These terrifying sights and bizarre creatures in the darkness are enough to give living beings a tremendous shock!
and……
Bang!
A tremendous crash resounded, and the teleportation channel trembled slightly, as if it had been struck by a tremendous force.
A huge humanoid monster appeared in the passage ahead, with the head of a jet-black owl wolf. Its two sharp claws emerged from the darkness and gripped the passage fiercely, while it roared terrifyingly at Ye Wuque!
It seemed they were about to break through the passage and devour Ye Wuque alive.
Despite the slight tremors in the teleportation channel, Ye Wuque, standing within it, remained expressionless and unmoved, merely gazing indifferently at the monstrous creatures in the darkness.
Perhaps, for an ordinary Saint King, this moment would be like facing a formidable enemy, his whole body tense, worried that the teleportation channel might be breached.
But Ye Wuque had been through countless battles and had seen all sorts of monsters and creatures; these were nothing compared to him.
The power from the Seven Star Refining Box sealed 99% of his extraordinary combat strength, but it did not seal his memories. The insights he gained from his past experiences remained. In short...
It looks scary, but it's nothing to Ye Wuque.
Most importantly, Ye Wuque could tell at a glance that although the teleportation channel appeared to have been shaken, it was actually indestructible.
This process also has a sense of testing the mind and will of the sage king.
Ignoring the threats and roars of all the strange creatures around him, and even though the teleportation channel looked precarious, Ye Wuque kept his eyes on the front.
The darkness began to fade slowly, and light reappeared, signifying that the teleportation channel was about to pass through this dark area.
Behind them came the unwilling roars of many monsters and creatures!
Ye Wuque glanced back casually, but his gaze suddenly sharpened!
Looking back from this direction and in the light, he immediately discovered that the seemingly random monsters were actually surrounded by a huge black cage within a radius of a hundred miles!
In other words, they were all kept in cages, like prisoners or pets, and were only allowed to move around within a radius of a hundred miles.
This made Ye Wuque even more certain that the three routes of the Saint King Trial were placed in special locations and were not created out of thin air.
Just after Ye Wuque withdrew his gaze, the area in front of the teleportation channel became extremely blinding, and Ye Wuque could no longer see anything!
But he felt as if he had entered some unknown time period, with a sense of temporal and spatial disorder looming in and out.
This process lasted about fifteen minutes and had a sense of upheaval.
Until a certain moment, all the light before Ye Wuque disappeared, and he experienced a violent loss of weight, as if he were floating rapidly, with disordered spatial forces raging around him.
"The destination should be random. After leaving the Ancient Pass of Destiny, the road branched off, and the situation and the area to which each Saint King was teleported were somewhat different."
The next instant, Ye Wuque's eyes suddenly lit up, and his falling body immediately stabilized. He regained control of himself, looked around, and his eyes flashed.
Ahead, he saw the mysterious universe again, desolate and peaceful, seemingly unchanging since time immemorial.
What really caught Ye Wuque's attention was a massive city nestled beneath the starry sky!
At first glance, it seems similar to the Ancient Pass of Destiny, but it is completely different because it is deathly silent.
This is a dead city!
The stench of death and decay was pervasive, everywhere, filling people with despair.
And in all directions of this dead city, dead stars float and sink, like stars surrounding the moon.
This place seemed to be a dead end, exuding an aura that instilled fear and unease, making people afraid to approach.
But Ye Wuque did not hesitate at all. He took a step forward and headed straight for the Starry Sky Dead City.
Soon, he passed by a dead star, where everything seemed to have been wiped out. However, as Ye Wuque's gaze shifted, he actually saw a young being sitting on the ground, exuding an ethereal aura, with a chessboard in front of him.
That young being was like a celestial being, handsome and refined, making people feel an irresistible urge to be close to him. He seemed out of place on the entire dead star, as if he had emerged from the mud unsullied.
"Fellow Daoist Sage King, now that we have met, and it seems we are destined to meet, would you mind playing a game of chess with me?"
From a great distance, the young creature seemed to have already seen Ye Wuque, and looked at him with a smile, making an inviting gesture.
Ye Wuque's eyes were deep. He glanced at the star and then flashed to the death star, standing opposite the young man, seemingly invited by his presence.
Upon seeing Ye Wuque arrive, the young creature revealed a bright smile, its tone nostalgic.
"How long has it been since a Saint King arrived here..."
"The immortal destiny I possess has not been inherited by anyone for a long time..."
"Perhaps you have the opportunity to obtain this great fortune, all you need to do is beat me in the game."
The young creature invited Ye Wuque to sit down, pointed to the chessboard in front of him, and continued to sigh.
"This chessboard is like the sky, and the black and white pieces are like the yin and yang energies, dividing yin and yang. The great way is simple, containing supreme Daoist wisdom. If you can..."
"If you buried the leftover human bones under your butt a little deeper, it might actually be somewhat convincing with your appearance."
"Now..."
Before the young creature could finish speaking, Ye Wuque coldly interrupted him, stepping onto the chessboard.
"nondescript!"
Click!
The chessboard exploded, the void trembled, and countless black and white pieces were immediately scattered in all directions, exuding a murderous aura!
The young creature, who had been sitting cross-legged with a smile and an air of otherworldly grace, suddenly froze, then instantly turned extremely ferocious. The flesh on his face began to roll, eventually revealing a terrifyingly distorted face with a multitude of colors!
