Chapter 1142: Chapter 238 True Venerate Tower 2nd Floor â Part 2
Suddenly, his thoughts swirled. Despite the projection being so formidable, it couldnât kill him because he possessed the All Heavens Star Vein. The energy was nearly infinite, allowing him to rest non-stop at the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm. Anyone else would have been drained long ago.
âIn my eyes, this projection is troublesome. Perhaps from the projectionâs perspective, I am now even more troublesome. The power is above mine, yet it canât kill meâŠâ
Li Haoâs gaze flickered as he began to assess himself, aiming to leverage his own advantages.
He suddenly thought of the previous board duel with Elder Wang.
Elder Wangâs chess ability was incredibly profound, clearly surpassing him. Although Li Hao was at the tenth stage in Chess Tao, looking back at Elder Wangâs ability, it seemed he wasnât just at the tenth stage but at a higher level.
The earlier victory was due to Elder Wangâs underestimation and his bet that Li Hao couldnât see the flaw.
If they fought again, Li Hao still felt uncertain about winning.
The previous victory was also due to Li Hao using his limited strength to launch an assault.
When power is weaker than the opponent, to win with the weak defeating the strong, one must focus and explode with full force!
For this, everything else must be abandoned, discarded!
âMy advantage lies in my All Heavens Star VeinâŠâ
âIt is the power of the All Heavens Star Vein End Realm that has allowed me to hold on till now. Since the power is endless, thenâŠâ
âBattle is also a layout, wielding the sword like placing a chess pieceâŠâ
Li Haoâs eyes flickered, and suddenly, though he was clumsily dodging the Returning Ruins at high speed, he felt a sudden peace within, extremely calm.
He abruptly accelerated the speed of his Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, continuously flickering through the void.
The projection also explosively pursued full speed, though the Sword Intent was extremely fast and powerful, it could not touch Li Hao, which was futile.
With the flickering, Li Haoâs actions gradually changed. If one were to look down from the sky, one would find that Li Haoâs Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement route was not chaotic but gradually becoming regular, and presenting a pattern!
It was a painting. Likewise, it was also a chess manual.
That route retained the Sword Qi that Li Hao left along the way. With the continuous Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement, more and more Sword Qi was left. When Li Hao stepped out of the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement again, he stood in the center of this chess game.
He himself was a piece, constructing the game, forming a terrifying Sword Array!
âExplode!â
Li Hao no longer fled but suddenly turned, staring at the projection, erupting with all his might, Divine Blood burning vigorously, the heart in his chest burning like flames, pounding fiercely.
Accompanied by the furious slash of his sword, tens of thousands of Sword Qi gathered from the void, condensing together. All of these bursts happened in an instant.
The projectionâs desire to attack was strong. Li Hao remembered Wang Lai saying this, and he had seen it along the way, which was also a point that made the projection so unbearable for challengers, with no breathing space. Yet, similarly⊠advantage is disadvantage, having is nothing!
This was precisely the projectionâs weakness!
When facing Li Haoâs sword attack, the projectionâs first reaction was not to escape, not to dodge the Returning Ruins, but to counterattack, with a more savage attack crushing towards him!
But this time, the ten thousand Sword Qi gathered, and in an instant, the sword light from Li Haoâs swing burst, driving the myriad Sword Qi to erupt, its terrible fierce momentum instantly overshadowing the projectionâs sword glow.
This sword, Li Hao was willing to call it the strongest!
Boom!
In an instant, the projectionâs sword glow shattered, its body engulfed by the sword glow, breaking into pieces in an instant. At the moment the projection shattered, Li Haoâs Primordial Spirit struck out, directing the residual power of Sword Dao, directly shattering the projectionâs Primordial Spirit!
Between heaven and earth, Sword Intent dissipated.
As if a breeze swept through, ruffling Li Haoâs hair, the world became quiet, leaving only Li Haoâs panting.
He looked at the fragmented and dissipating projection, somewhat dazed, also slightly in disbelief, he succeeded!
He didnât rely on a Transcendent chess mind, but purely through combat intuition, finding a method to break the situation in this invincible danger.
âExhilarating!â
Li Hao couldnât help but laugh heartily, for the first time feeling the joy of battle, which was as exhilarating as playing chess.
At this moment, where the projection dissipated, a vortex appeared in the void, vaguely like a doorway.
Is the challenge over, time to leave?
Li Hao smiled, releasing Fatian Xiangdi, his body reverting to its original state, energy restrained, and many Extreme Realm powers slowly submerged back into his body.
At this moment, waves of mental fatigue surged in. Although the All Heavens Star Vein could bring Li Hao inexhaustible power, the intense battle just now brought mental exhaustion that he needed to alleviate himself. Fortunately, his Primordial Spirit was extremely strong, with spiritual power far beyond Holy Level, or just this fatigue could make one fall asleep.
After a short rest, Li Hao then stepped towards the vortex doorway.
Soon, it was as if he stepped across an abyss, his body feeling a sense of weightlessness.
Not long after, light appeared in front of his eyes once more, and the sealed Perceptive Power was also released.
Li Hao looked, expecting to see the crowd outside the tower, but suddenly froze.
At this moment, before his eyes was a dark and majestic hall. All around was dim and as if cast in iron.
Before him stood a luminous purple pillar!
The purple light of the pillar flickered intermittently like earthworms, as if some sort of pattern of the Tao.
Li Hao glanced around, seeing faint light shining through a few windowless gaps in the distance.
He soared into the air, looking out towards the open space, seeing a vast plain, and that magnificent sky-high hall.
