338: Something that even the Tao body cannot bear?

“The game has been solved?!”

Hearing the Chaos Chess Spirit’s exclamation, Water Without Heart also looked at Chu Feng with shock.

The blazing golden palace suddenly appeared there, like the center of a storm, drawing in countless Chaos Qi from all directions, as well as all the chess pieces that had already been born within the Chess Game, all of them completely absorbed into the wide-open palace gates.

Along with the appearance of the anomaly, the massive chessboard born from the Great Dao Chess Game also began to slowly dissolve.

Not only that, but in front of the blazing golden divine palace, a plaque appeared—Chaos Palace.

Inside the palace, a purple divine bridge burst forth, descending through the air towards Chu Feng’s location.

“Solved? I just eliminated a Minor Thousand Worlds beast and hadn’t even collected the Chaos Supreme Treasure it dropped, and now it’s gone?”

“What new trick is this?”

At the edge of the chessboard, Dao Yi, covered in wounds, his face suddenly changed as he watched the Supreme Treasure in front of him collapse, and he couldn’t help but frown.

Not far to his left, the Demon Monk, who had just moved a chess piece, his usually calm face suddenly changed color: “Not good!”

The Chess Emperor of Eternity’s gaze followed the trajectory to the end of the sky, her face equally shocked.

Water Without Heart, who was closest to Chu Feng, was extremely shocked at this moment, murmuring, “He solved the game after only a hundred years of entering?”

She looked at the Chaos Chess Spirit: “Chess Spirit, are you sure it’s a solution, not a victory?”

Victory and solution, though seemingly only a single character apart, are vastly different in reality.

A victory refers to defeating the other participants who entered the Chess Game simultaneously, thus standing out in this Great Dao Chess Game.

A solution… means completely solving the entire Great Dao Chess Game and obtaining the supreme reward of the Chess Game.

At this moment, the Chess Spirit’s astonishment was no less than Water Without Heart’s.

His voice trembled even more: “How could this old man be mistaken? To solve the game so quickly… This one’s Chess Dao is truly exquisite to the extreme.”

“Although this old man believed he could solve it, I never expected it to be so swift.”

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on the flickering chessboard with the black and white seven stars moving in parallel, and he continued to praise, “So that’s how it is, the rules of the Great Dao Chess Game are like this.”

“Both twins must achieve a seven-star alignment!”

He looked at Chu Feng, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared not far from him, unable to resist asking, “Honored guest, in such a chaotic Chess Game, with no signs of any rules revealed, how did you manage to see through it and solve it in such a short amount of time?”

Chu Feng’s gaze was calm as he watched the glittering chessboard and the majestic grand palace before him.

Hearing this, he glanced at the Chaos Chess Spirit, and asked in confusion, “Huh?”

“Is it that difficult to understand something just by looking at it?”

“If it weren’t for wanting to comprehend the Chaos Qi, I could have solved the Chess Game in three to five years.”

Chaos Chess Spirit: “…”

“This, this… Honored guest, do you want to hear what you’re saying?”

The Chaos Chess Spirit felt a strange heartache upon hearing his words: “This old man is also a lover of chess. Although you call me a terrible player, my Chess Dao attainments are absolutely extraordinary. The rules of the Great Dao Chess Game change every time. In a hundred years, this old man saw nothing, and you saw it clearly in just three to five years?”

Chu Feng blinked: “So you are a terrible player.”

“You can’t even understand such a simple Chess path, and you have the nerve to say you love chess?”

“I think you don’t understand chess at all.”

Chaos Chess Spirit: “…”

Chu Feng’s tone was very calm; it seemed like a humble brag, but in reality, it was the truth.

With the Chess Dao attainments brought by his unsealed Chess Saint identity, which were extremely terrifying, it didn’t take much time for him to see through the Great Dao Chess Game.

Before entering the Great Dao Chess Game, he had also received some rule hints for the Great Dao Chess Game from an unknown chessboard. Although there were some discrepancies with the actual situation, it was still very easy to deduce the rest.

It was just that when he was comprehending the amplitude of his Path Body, he didn’t pay attention to the time, and a hundred years passed in a flash. The progress of solving this Chess Game could have been greatly advanced even further.

Looking at the dumbfounded Chaos Chess Spirit before him, Chu Feng ignored him, his eyes flickering as he looked at the Chaos Palace that had appeared. This Chaos Palace was entirely made of an extremely precious material—Chaos Crystal.

The palace was magnificent, with eighteen special Chaos Pillars, reaching to the heavens and supporting a world within the palace.

Within this world, a faint purple Chaos Qi flickered, and the outline of a pearl could vaguely be seen.

“It should be it.”

Chu Feng felt a rich Chaos Law from that pearl. The misty Qi were all scattered Chaos Dao patterns and Dao rhymes, imbued with endless mystery.

He felt that within this pearl, there existed a grand world.

As the solver, the Origin within the world was extremely close to him.

As long as he refined it, he could begin his Dao questioning.

He raised his hand, extended it, and made a grasping motion. The chaos pearl began to detach from the Chaos Qi mist and flew towards him.

As he seized the chaos pearl, Chu Feng glanced at Water Without Heart, who was also standing dumbfounded at the side of the grand hall, and casually said, “Go practice inside the hall; it can stabilize your Path Body.”

“Stabilize my Path Body?”

Water Without Heart was stunned upon hearing this. She glanced at the Chaos Palace. The surging Chaos Qi mist inside the palace was thousands, even tens of thousands of times denser than the Law Qi within the Great Dao Chess Game before.

Chu Feng nodded: “Yes, if it’s not stable, there are some things you won’t be able to bear.”

Water Without Heart was puzzled. “I’ve already condensed a Path Body, a Path Body that can walk in the Great Dao Long River, endlessly tough. What else could I not bear?”

However, none of that mattered. Chu Feng’s reminder made a lot of sense.

Having been in the Chess Game for a hundred years, Water Without Heart already understood clearly that Chaos Qi was a supreme Body Refining treasure. If she could cultivate inside the Chaos Palace, it wouldn’t take long for her Path Body, which had just advanced to the Path Domain, to stabilize.

If she stayed for dozens or hundreds more years, her Path Body could even amplify several times, and her strength would increase rapidly.

Water Without Heart felt a little moved, but she was also very clear-headed and immediately said, “Husband, now is not the time to cultivate. The Emperor Realm is in danger. If we arrive late, my sisters and the Emperor Realm might all be destroyed.”

Chu Feng chuckled, looking at her anxious expression, worried about the Emperor Realm, and calmly said, “With me here, there’s no need to worry.”

“Give me the coordinates of the Emperor Realm.”

Water Without Heart’s eyes lit up. She had been too flustered before and almost lost her composure.

If her husband was willing to act, the Emperor Realm’s crisis would naturally be resolved.

Her jade hands fluttered, striking out a divine light in the Void Realm, which evolved into a star map. The position of the Emperor Realm formed a huge, striking nine-pointed star.

Chu Feng nodded.

Holding the chaos pearl in his left hand, he pointed his right finger and placed it on the nine-pointed star on the star map.

Endless ripples bloomed, and layers upon layers of spatial lines, like fishing lines, tangled together in the Void Realm.

The moment these spatial lines intertwined and formed, they created a jade-green Qilin. The Qilin’s foot heavily stepped on the nine-pointed star.

Rip.

A slight tremor was heard.

The star cluster was annihilated in the Void Realm, as if it had never appeared.

“Alright, quickly enter the Chaos Palace.”

Chu Feng said casually.

“Alright?!”

Water Without Heart was stunned: “What’s alright?”
