Humanity’s Great Sage

Several days passed in a flash. Blood Gu, who was fiercely pursuing Lu Ye from behind, suddenly frowned.

Just now, he discovered that the aura of the Starry Sky Chessboard had mysteriously disappeared!

Over the past few days, Lu Ye had repeatedly used his clones to distract him with the Starry Sky Chessboard, while also using the clones as a means of positioning for teleportation.

Yet, even so, it was difficult to shake off Blood Gu's pursuit.

This City Lord of the Top Ten was clearly determined to capture Lu Ye.

And earlier, he had noticed that something was not quite right with the Starry Sky Chessboard. The aura of this treasure was constantly weakening, until just now, when it completely disappeared!

Even with Blood Gu's knowledge, he couldn't understand what was happening.

The intelligence of the Starry Sky Chessboard had already been destroyed, which did reduce the difficulty of refining it, but the refining process shouldn't be like this.

"Blood Gu, aren't you afraid that your lair will be turned upside down if you don't sit in Blood Drink City?" Lu Ye shouted while fleeing.

It wouldn't be easy for Blood Gu to capture him, but such a pursuit was truly tormenting for him, so Lu Ye could only try to shake Blood Gu's resolve.

With such a major change in the Insect and Blood races, it was impossible to keep it a secret. Blood Gu was chasing after him at this moment, and if the enemies of the Insect and Blood races knew about it, they would certainly not miss this opportunity.

To say nothing else, the Dragon and Phoenix races would definitely be happy to do something about it.

Lu Ye estimated that once the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Master learned of his news, they would definitely try to provide support.

In fact, he could completely ask the Dragon Lord for help through the Dragon Book in his Divine Sea, but his situation was a bit special right now, so he had been hesitant.

Moreover, he hadn't reached a desperate situation yet.

Hearing Lu Ye's words, Blood Gu didn't answer, but coldly asked, "Where did you put the Starry Sky Chessboard?"

He seriously suspected that Lu Ye had hidden this treasure somewhere, but on second thought, Lu Ye shouldn't have such ability.

Whether it was Lu Ye's main body or his clones, he was watching them closely, so where would he have the time to hide it? Moreover, how could a treasure be hidden so easily?

At this moment, Lu Ye was diverting a trace of his mind to explore the Talent Tree.

Sure enough, a third fruit had grown on the tree. It wasn't exactly a fruit, because this thing looked like a miniature Starry Sky Chessboard, hanging on the treetop.

Lu Ye made a slight investigation and quickly understood all the mysteries of this treasure, and his brow immediately raised.

He didn't turn the mystery in the Starry Sky Chessboard into nutrients for the Myriad Poison Bead fruit. This choice was right, because the mysterious power of the Starry Sky Chessboard was indeed helpful to his current situation.

"Where exactly did you put the Starry Sky Chessboard!" Blood Gu shouted angrily. He urgently wanted to understand this question, even though he knew Lu Ye wouldn't answer him, he couldn't help but continue to ask.

As soon as he finished speaking, Blood Gu was shocked to discover that the mysterious power of a treasure was surging from Lu Ye's side. This aura felt extremely familiar to him, it was the aura of the Starry Sky Chessboard.

But it didn't make sense. Even if the Starry Sky Chessboard's intelligence was destroyed and Lu Ye was qualified to refine it, it shouldn't be so fast.

How long had this treasure been in Lu Ye's hands? At most, it was only a few days.

If he had such speed when he refined it, there wouldn't have been the subsequent troubles.

He couldn't figure out why this was, but the fact that the Starry Sky Chessboard had been refined was a foregone conclusion, and Lu Ye had already activated the power of the treasure to deal with him.

Blood Gu was very annoyed. Lu Ye was already extremely difficult to deal with, and now that he had another treasure, it would only be more troublesome!

But what he needed to figure out now was, what kind of game was this!

He roughly understood the power of the Starry Sky Chessboard. This was not an attack-type treasure, so even if Lu Ye used the power of the treasure, he might not be able to break the game.

The moment the game was formed, a piece of information had actually appeared in his mind, obviously about the various rules of the game.

However, these rules were incomplete. Blood Gu immediately glared at Lu Ye fiercely, knowing that this was Lu Ye's secret manipulation!

This couldn't be helped.

Under normal circumstances, when the power of the Starry Sky Chessboard was released and a game was set up, all the chess pieces in the game would understand the rules of the game in the first instance, just like the Snowfield battle back then.

This was due to the rules of the treasure itself.

Even if Lu Ye had refined the Starry Sky Chessboard now, he had to follow this rule to exert the power of the treasure.

But he could secretly do something...

For example, at this moment, the rules that Blood Gu understood were incomplete.

He only knew that this was a game called Chinese Chess, and different chess pieces had their own movement patterns.

But how could he honestly play chess with Lu Ye here? Immediately, his whole body surged with power, and he rushed towards Lu Ye recklessly.

However, at the same time as he took action, all the surrounding chess pieces came to life in this instant. Horses neighed, elephants roared, and even chariots charged back and forth. Armored soldiers held sharp blades, expressionlessly killing from left and right.

In an instant, Blood Gu was surrounded by enemies.

But he was not afraid at all, relying on his own strength to recklessly smash all the chess pieces that blocked his way.

However, those chess pieces would quickly recover after being broken, as if each had an immortal body.

Moreover, the river water in front was surging, as if it had turned into a celestial river, carrying a strong aura of death and attacking him.

Blood Gu frowned.

Although those chess pieces were not his opponents, they were simply unbreakable in the chessboard, and this strange river water made him extremely fearful.

When the Starry Sky Chessboard manifested the game this time, he didn't know where it got such a big river.

"I advise you to be honest." Across the river, Lu Ye was taking this opportunity to frantically refine the fragments of the Dao Convergence Bead.

The Starry Sky Chessboard had already turned into a fruit and hung on the Talent Tree. Of course, he had to quickly refine the fragments of the Dao Convergence Bead. After the Talent Tree transformed, the efficiency of refining the fragments was much faster than before.

This made him very happy, because the longer he delayed at this moment, the more benefits he could get.

The only price he had to pay was that the consumption of his Dao Power was a bit serious. At the moment, everything in the chessboard was manifested based on his own power. The methods used by those chess pieces were all consuming his Dao Power.

Such consumption was difficult for even Lu Ye to sustain for too long.

In the chessboard, Blood Gu retreated back to his original position. The moment he stood still, all the chess pieces returned to their original positions, and the game was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Blood Gu's expression was uncertain.

After the previous test, he could confirm one thing, Lu Ye could not exert the full power of the Starry Sky Chessboard, so if he disregarded the consequences, he should have a chance to break through the layers of blockade and kill Lu Ye.

But this was meaningless, because even if he really killed Lu Ye, would Lu Ye just sit back and wait for death? The situation would only return to the previous state again.

And it would also consume his power.

In an instant, Blood Gu had made a decision. Since the other party wanted to compete with him in the game, then he would do as he wished.

Although he didn't understand the rules of this game very well, it wouldn't be easy for the other party to win him. As long as he could win this game, he would have a chance to capture Lu Ye with the backlash of the treasure's power!

"Are you ready?" Across the river, Lu Ye saw that Blood Gu had calmed down, and he was also relieved. It would be troublesome if this guy disregarded everything and overturned the chessboard. After all, the other party was one of the Top Ten City Lords, and he had this strength.

While speaking, he set up his cannon at the head, and then continued to refine his Dao Convergence Bead fragments.

Lu Ye himself didn't know much about Chinese Chess, and his skills were not good, but Blood Gu's situation was even worse than his. If he couldn't win under such a game, then Lu Ye might as well kill himself.

On the opposite side, Blood Gu's expression was solemn, and he had a belly full of anger but had nowhere to vent.

He had been chasing Lu Ye to this point, not only did he gain nothing, but now he was forced to play chess with him, it was simply ridiculous.

But he still had to calm down and carefully recall the various rules of this game.

Only after a long time, almost reaching a time limit, did Blood Gu make his first move.

Lu Ye smiled when he saw this.

"What are you laughing at!" Blood Gu was annoyed.

Lu Ye casually replied while refining the Dao Convergence Bead fragments, "I'm not laughing at anything, it's just that Lord Blood's move is extremely clever, I have to think about how to defend against you."

Blood Gu was even more annoyed when he heard this.

This was only the first step, where could he see that it was extremely clever?

But what surprised him was that Lu Ye actually showed an expression of hard thinking, scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, looking like he couldn't make a decision.

Blood Gu was suspicious, wondering if his step was really extremely clever?

But this was the first time he played Chinese Chess with someone, and he didn't know where it was clever.

But soon Blood Gu knew that the facts were not like this.

Because every time it was Lu Ye's turn, he was there thinking hard, scratching his ears and cheeks.

This kid was completely delaying time!

One was a beginner in the game, and the other was intentionally delaying time, this game was extremely difficult.

But there was always a time to determine the outcome. Half a day later, as Lu Ye's last chess piece fell, he smiled and cupped his fists at Blood Gu: "Thank you for the concession!"

Blood Gu's face was livid.

The chess game dissipated, turning into an extremely condensed offensive, frantically devouring the surrounding wandering Dao Power, and slammed towards Blood Gu with a rumbling momentum!

This was the price Blood Gu had to pay for losing the chess game.
