Chapter 1463: Resolute Five Elders

Zhou Yuan’s gaze pierced through layers of clouds, looking down at the chaotic battle on the ground. He saw that within the Saint Race’s ranks, one individual’s aura was steadily rising, finally breaking through their limitations and entering the Saint realm.

This unexpected development made Zhou Yuan’s expression turn cold. Clearly, that Saint Race expert had long been on the verge of a breakthrough but had suppressed it, which was why the so-called Heaven Net Chessboard had defaulted them to the Law Domain realm.

Now that the chessboard was set, the Saint Race expert, guided by Yan Xu, directly broke through. The sudden appearance of an additional Saint realm expert was enough to completely reverse the entire situation.

This showed that Yan Xu’s claim — that the chessboard would only activate when both sides had equal strength — was nothing but a flawed lie.

Or rather, this was a loophole Yan Xu had intentionally left for his own side.

Yan Xu, in front, smiled, seemingly unconcerned by Zhou Yuan’s cold gaze. Instead, he looked at the chess piece on the board that had suddenly grown stronger, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

Zhou Yuan said nothing more, but the Heaven Origin Pen, suspended above the Heaven Net Chessboard, suddenly flared with light. The torrent of countless Origin Runes poured down even more fiercely.

He was clearly accelerating the erosion of the chessboard.

He understood Yan Xu’s plan: the opponent wanted to clear the battlefield as quickly as possible and gain an advantage. When the chessboard changed, Yan Xu himself would receive a boost, and at that point, everything would be simple.

Over the vast sea, a mighty force suddenly swept across. Wherever it passed, Law Domains shattered like bubbles.

Many Law Domain experts from Cangxuan Heaven spat blood, their figures recoiling awkwardly and landing in the sea, splashing up massive waves.

More Law Domain experts from Cangxuan Heaven looked forward in horror. There, the Saint Race’s Law Domain experts had all stopped and were looking on with mockery and amusement.

Because at the very front of them, a figure was striding over the waves.

It was a charming woman with a seductive figure. She was dressed in revealing, cool attire, her exposed fair skin making one’s blood run hot.

As she walked on the waves, she appeared utterly captivating.

Yet, as the Cangxuan Heaven’s Law Domain experts looked at the alluring and sexy woman, their eyes were filled with fear. This was because this very woman had suddenly broken through to the Saint realm earlier, then overturned dozens of their Law Domain experts with a single palm strike.

In the face of a Saint’s might, even the strongest Law Domain was nothing more than paper-thin.

On the sea surface, Li Chunjun, Chu Qing, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Qingchan, and others had gathered. At this moment, their expressions were grim as they watched the alluring female Saint.

“Our Saints are currently tied up. Just us Law Domain experts alone probably can’t stop her,” Li Qingchan clenched her silver teeth.

“She stopped their Law Domain experts over there. Is she planning to eliminate all of us Law Domain experts by herself?” A fierce glint also appeared in Zuoqiu Qingyu’s beautiful eyes.

“What a ruthless woman,” Chu Qing rubbed his bald head.

Li Chunjun gripped his rusty iron sword tightly and said in a low voice, “Slay her!”

But just as his voice fell, several figures suddenly appeared in front. Judging by their backs, they were none other than Patriarch Qingyang, Heavenly Sword Venerable, Ancient Whale Venerable, Dan Qingzi, and other veteran Law Domain experts from Cangxuan Heaven.

“You all retreat. We will stop her,” Patriarch Qingyang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

Chu Qing frowned, “Old man, don’t try to be a hero. That’s a Saint.”

“Do I need a lazy young fellow like you to tell this old man what to do?”

Patriarch Qingyang glared at Chu Qing and cursed, “Now all of you, scram!”

The wrinkles on Heavenly Sword Venerable’s aged face, which resembled rolling mountains, now smoothed out. He looked at Li Chunjun, revealing a gentle smile, “Chunjun, you all retreat first. We old folks can’t possibly hide behind you youngsters.”

“Even if we join forces and aren’t her match, we won’t let her have an easy time,” Dan Qingzi said indifferently, a cold glint in her beautiful eyes.

Looking at them, Chu Qing, Li Chunjun, Zuoqiu Qingyu, and the others were momentarily stunned. A moment later, Li Qingchan clenched her silver teeth and said, “Patriarch, let’s all...”

“Are you looking down on us old guys that much?” Patriarch Qingyang said discontentedly.

The young people were speechless, wanting to say more, but under the increasingly stern gazes of Patriarch Qingyang and the others, they ultimately chose to retreat.

“You little brats, when you first joined the sect, you didn’t even have all your hair grown out, and now you dare to speak to us like this.” Patriarch Qingyang pouted and chuckled while scolding. However, in his eyes, as he looked at Chu Qing, there was a profound sense of relief and pride.

This disciple was one of the ones he valued most over the years. He had also put a great deal of effort into teaching him, but sometimes Chu Qing’s lazy personality would exasperate even him, who was usually calm.

But no matter what, in a sense, Chu Qing was no longer weaker than him, and their future held limitless possibilities and potential.

Therefore, even if it meant sacrificing his own old life, he would not allow Chu Qing and the other young ones, who represented the future of Cangxuan Heaven, to perish here.

Patriarch Qingyang, Heavenly Sword Venerable, Dan Qingzi, and the others withdrew their gazes and exchanged a look. Each saw a glint of determination in the other’s eyes.

Then their gazes turned forward, to the seductive woman striding over the waves.

The next moment, their figures shot forth resolutely.

The seductive female Saint looked at the five streaks of light, then yawned somewhat languidly. Covering her red lips, she said with a hint of mockery, “Truly, you don’t know your place.”

“What’s the point of this moth-to-flame act?”

However, Patriarch Qingyang and the other four did not respond. Only the determination in their eyes grew even stronger.

The next instant, five massive Law Domains spread out.

But the moment the Law Domains appeared, everyone saw that within them, flames suddenly surged forth. These flames were extremely mysterious; as they appeared, all five Law Domains began to melt.

The Law Domains melted into liquid and fell into the flames, acting like fuel and making the flames even more ferocious.

Behind them, the many Law Domain experts from Cangxuan Heaven saw this scene, their expressions drastically changing: “Burning their Law Domains?!”

Patriarch Qingyang, Heavenly Sword Venerable, and the others had actually chosen to burn their Law Domains. At this moment, they would erupt with the most brilliant and fierce radiance of their lives.

But this time, their radiance was fueled by their Law Domains!

Regardless of success or failure, their Law Domains would be destroyed, and their lives would end!

This was their final, desperate gamble!

At this moment, dazzling light illuminated every corner of the space. The many experts from Cangxuan Heaven watched, trembling, as the five scorching streaks of light tore through the sky. Immediately, tears welled up in their eyes.

The five streaks of light, without hesitation, charged directly at the seductive female Saint. As they crashed down with a roar, five resounding laughs echoed through the sky, lingering endlessly.

“May the Heavens be at peace!”

“May you all return safely!”
