Primordial Star Scripture

Only after the sword\'s light passed did the space rift rapidly close up again.

As the golden light stabbed towards Tiger Demon Teng, even with its body reaching over three hundred meters tall and its presence immensely powerful with surging black mist, its expression drastically changed.

Clearly, Tiger Demon Teng knew that its Half-Step Rotating Pill stage was absolutely no match for Ye Chen, who had suddenly acquired the power of the Heavenly Saint!

Boom!

With a spread of its massive black wings, Tiger Demon Teng was ready to flee from Ye Chen\'s attack.

Of course, Ye Chen would not let Tiger Demon Teng escape so easily.

Before, he had been unable to match Tiger Demon Teng, neither in attack strength nor in speed, being incomparable to this demon that had reached the later stages of the Rotating Pill Realm.

But now, with the power of the Heavenly Saint infusing him, both Ye Chen\'s attack strength and speed had crazily soared, and he was no longer afraid of Tiger Demon Teng!

Ye Chen was now daring enough to face Tiger Demon Teng in direct combat!

Whoosh!

In the instant that Tiger Demon Teng fanned its gigantic black wings in an attempt to flee, a flash of golden light from the power of the Heavenly Saint surged through Ye Chen\'s body, and his speed instantly surpassed Tiger Demon Teng. Swinging the Black Fire Sword, Ye Chen\'s slice effortlessly severed one of Tiger Demon Teng\'s arms!

"Bang!"

The severed arm of Tiger Demon Teng, engulfed in rolling black mist and over a hundred meters long, fell from the sky emitting thick smoke the moment it was cut off.

Seeing this, Tiger Demon Teng\'s expression changed dramatically as it reached out with its other hand to grab the falling arm, which turned into rolling black mist and was absorbed back into its body. Soon after, a new arm instantly regenerated.

This Tiger Demon Teng was a demon, its arms made of demonic mist, capable of being reabsorbed.

However, after Ye Chen\'s sword strike, Tiger Demon Teng\'s aura had clearly suffered a significant loss!

If this continued, even if it could regenerate its body, it would eventually have its essence eroded by Ye Chen\'s relentless attacks, leading to its complete death!

And at that moment, Ye Chen\'s second sword strike was already slashing towards it!

By now, with its expression one of great alarm, Tiger Demon Teng could no longer afford to hesitate; it understood that if it didn\'t come up with a plan quickly, it might not just lose an arm—it could very well be that its entire demonic body would be annihilated!

"Void Great Treasure Cover, come to me!"

At this point, Tiger Demon Teng could no longer focus on using the Void Great Treasure Cover to crush Ye Chen\'s released Heavenly Saint Killing Light. With a massive claw, it reached out into the void to grasp the treasure cover.

The Void Great Treasure Cover, still vibrating wildly in the sky, repelled the Heavenly Saint Killing Light far away and then shot onto the claw of Tiger Demon Teng in an instant.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen\'s second sword strike had reached the front of Tiger Demon Teng.

Just as Ye Chen\'s sword was about to strike Tiger Demon Teng\'s body again, Tiger Demon Teng raised the Void Great Treasure Cover and met the sword light head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantaneously, Ye Chen\'s sword, filled with the power of the Heavenly Saint, collided directly with the strange treasure in Tiger Demon Teng\'s hand, the "Void Great Treasure Cover."

This collision set off boundless energy flares that, upon bursting forth, impacted Azure Blue Lake below, causing the water to surge into waves hundreds of meters high!

As the energy flares burst and the waves churned, Ye Chen\'s Heavenly Saint-level attack was successfully blocked by the "Void Great Treasure Cover"!

Previously, the Void Great Treasure Cover had already blocked one of Ye Chen\'s Heavenly Saint Killing Light attacks, and now it had stopped Ye Chen\'s slashing sword again—evidently, this Void Great Treasure Cover was a remarkable object that could withstand an attack from a Heavenly Saint.

Most likely, it was a Sacred Artifact!

"A Sacred Artifact?"

Ye Chen stood in the void, holding the Black Fire Sword, his clothes flapping loudly in the wind, his aura still pulsing with the power of the Heavenly Saint.

It did not surprise Ye Chen that Tiger Demon Teng possessed a Sacred Artifact.

If Heavenly Saint Moya had entrusted Tiger Demon Teng with guarding this ancient tomb and set various traps against them, the Tomb Explorers, Ye Chen would never believe that Tiger Demon Teng didn\'t have a few tricks up its sleeve.

Perhaps this "Void Great Treasure Cover" was one of the trump cards given to Tiger Demon Teng by Heavenly Saint Moya, a defense-oriented Sacred Artifact that could withstand attacks from a Heavenly Saint!

"I am now infused with the Heavenly Saint Law Bead, elevating my strength to the level of a Heavenly Saint!"

"And though Tiger Demon Teng wields a Sacred Artifact, it may not be able to unleash the full power of the artifact and can, at best, rely on the quality of the Sacred Artifact to resist my attacks."

"I don\'t believe it can keep deflecting my attacks without a single flaw."

Ye Chen\'s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at Tiger Demon Teng, holding up the Void Great Treasure Cover.

The next moment, he launched himself at Tiger Demon Teng again, "If that\'s the case, let\'s fight on!"

"Let\'s see who can suppress whom!"

Boom!

Ye Chen moved and, once again wielding the Black Fire Sword, struck at Tiger Demon Teng.

"You brat!"

Seeing Ye Chen attacking relentlessly and charging at it once more, Tiger Demon Teng was extraordinarily furious.

As one of the eight great demons under Heavenly Saint Moya, and a late-stage Rotating Pill demon, it had never before been pushed to this extent by a cultivator from the Spirit Sea Realm!

It had even had an arm severed once.

At this point, it wished nothing more than to tear this youth apart!

Unfortunately, the young man possessed a power of the Heavenly Saint that even it feared, and despite its extraordinary rage, Tiger Demon Teng dared not withstand his attacks directly.

"Block!"

"I refuse to believe that the Heavenly Saint power you borrowed is endless!"

"When you have used up all of your Heavenly Saint power, that will be the time I completely annihilate your soul!"

Grinding his teeth in anger, Tiger Demon Teng once again raised the "Void Great Treasure Cover," to meet Ye Chen\'s assault.

...

Above Azure Blue Lake, the battle between Ye Chen and Tiger Demon Teng darkened the sky and churned the earth.

On one side was someone in the Spirit Sea Realm, but supplemented with the Heavenly Saint power provided by the Heavenly Saint Law Bead!

On the other was a Rotating Pill-late-stage demon creature, who also possessed a shocking Sacred Artifact like the "Void Great Treasure Cover" for assistance!

Their battle raged from above the Azure Blue Lake, continuing onto the central massive island on the lake shore, flipping the entire world upside down!

While Ye Chen and Tiger Demon Teng were still locked in fierce combat with no victor yet decided, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, Yun Luo, and others who had fallen into the second deadly game, the Black and White Chessboard, found themselves amidst pervasive turmoil.

The moment these twenty-seven people were sucked into the Black and White Chessboard, they found their entire bodies emitting a black light, and simultaneously, from the large chessboard of the Black and White Chessboard, countless demon creatures emitting white light crazily lunged and tore at them.

Clearly, these demon creatures were the white chess pieces on the board that they had to fight against, as Tiger Demon Teng had hinted when they entered the Black and White Chessboard.

The mere presence of these demon creatures drastically changed the expressions of the twenty-seven people.

These demon creatures were all at least at the Half-Step Rotating Pill level.

Although many of them did not fear opponents at the Half-Step Rotating Pill level, the sheer number of demon creatures within the chessboard overwhelmed them, completely submerging them in a sea of Half-Step Rotating Pill level demons.

Clearly, if they were to fight these creatures for a month in the Black and White Death Game, as Tiger Demon Teng had suggested, very few among the twenty-seven would feel confident about making it out alive!

"What should we do?"

"Is this just the second deadly game, and we\'re already worn down by these demon creatures?"

"Ye Chen outside is still engulfed in Tiger Demon Teng\'s dark qi; how is he faring?"

The twenty-seven people huddled together, continuously fighting off the attacking demon creatures, with Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, Yun Luo, and others at the forefront anxiously exchanging ideas.

They had fallen into the Black and White Chessboard precisely when Ye Chen was caught in Tiger Demon Teng\'s Law Domain, unaware that Ye Chen had since activated the Heavenly Saint Law Bead and already possessed the power to directly confront Tiger Demon Teng, and many were still worried about him!

"No, we must break out of this deadly game soon!"

"Otherwise, even if we survive this second deadly game, considering Tiger Demon Teng\'s intentions, there\'s a third deadly game awaiting us. With our numbers continuously dwindling, we will undoubtedly end up as the Demon Carp predicted, all dying within this ancient tomb!"

"To break out, we must shatter this Black and White Chessboard!"

In the end, exchanging thoughts, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, Yun Luo, and others looked at each other, settling on the same goal—to break the second deadly game!

But, such a Black and White Chessboard was not at all easy to break, evident from the inexhaustible surge of Half-Step Rotating Pill level demon creatures, indicating that the Chessboard was a rare treasure.

Watching the frenzied onslaught of Half-Step Rotating Pill demons, and seeing that the aura of the vast majority among the twenty-seven had been rapidly reduced by the assaulting demons, Fairy Nishang was the first to speak up.

"Fellow cultivators, we can no longer hold back. Bring out your most powerful abilities!"

"Otherwise, we\'ll all truly perish in this ancient tomb!"

As she spoke, Fairy Nishang flipped her hand, and a giant fiery-red bow and a cluster of golden arrows appeared on it.

"I can faintly sense the space restrictions of the chessboard. I ask for assistance from other cultivators so that I can gather all my strength and strike at these restrictions!"

This was the first time Fairy Nishang had revealed a weapon—obviously, the giant bow and arrows she now brought out were a trump card she had not yet used since entering the tomb!

"I will! I\'ll help you fend off the demons, Fairy!"

At that moment, a Loose Cultivator at the Half-Step Rotating Pill Level stepped forward. Up until now, he had been quietly progressing to this point in the deadly game, but now, his true fighting strength emerged.

When three demon creatures surged towards him, he grabbed them with his large hand, tearing them apart, then leaped to stand directly in front of Fairy Nishang.

Obviously, those who could enter the tomb and make it to the final stages all had reserved strategies!

Seeing Fairy Nishang and the Half-Step Rotating Pill Cultivator\'s actions, the others also sprang into action.

The weaker ones could only protect themselves from the marauding demons, while the stronger ones stood out, declaring their support to help Fairy Nishang break the chessboard\'s space restrictions.

At this point, Yun Luo, the young man shielded by several Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators from the Cloud Sky Sect, also stood forward.

He looked at Fairy Nishang, and then at the others, before speaking calmly, "I shall be the one to break this chessboard\'s restrictions."

Boom!

As Yun Luo spoke, a flying dagger zoomed out from him, floating in the void before him.

With the appearance of the dagger, all the rampaging demon creatures on the chessboard retreated in horror!

This sight astonished everyone!

All eyes turned towards the flying dagger.

It could be seen that the dagger was a deep cyan color. Upon its emergence, a slight tremor caused even the void to tear apart, creating rifts in the space.

Clearly, this dagger was a treasured weapon far beyond everyone\'s expectations!

Yun Luo, from the powerful Cloud Sky Sect, indeed had a shocking trump card that he hadn\'t used until now—and finally, he was ready to employ it in this second deadly game!
