Zi Linglong did not leave. She continued watching the battle from a distance. A lot had happened, but it all happened in just a blink of an eye. Her eyes widened when she saw the chessboard. “That’s the Mana Sealing Chessboard!”

Before she could ponder on it, her head suddenly jerked up as she looked into the distance. She could sense an immense aura coming this way at a high speed. Her body grew translucent immediately, and it did not take long before she disappeared into thin air. She did not leave; she had only cast an invisibility spell.

In the distance, Bai Yu had vanished as well. Only the chessboard remained hovering in the night sky.

At this time, the strong aura that Linglong sensed finally arrived. It belonged to an old man. His aura was so strong that it felt like the aura of a supreme immortal who had descended to the mortal realm.

“This… The Mana Sealing Chessboard?” The old man’s expression darkened when he saw the glowing chessboard in the air. “Who the hell dares to attack the Holy Son? Whoever you are, you must have a death wish!”

The old man drew closer to the chessboard and tried to look at the situation inside but to no avail.

“Once the chessboard is activated, there’ll be death! I’ve warned him repeatedly not to use it unless he’s in a life-or-death situation,” the old man muttered to himself with a frosty expression on his face, “I don’t care who you are! Even if you’re from the Qingyun Sect, there’s only one outcome for acting against the Holy Son: death!”

The old man continued to look at the chessboard silently.

Meanwhile, Zi Linglong, who had turned invisible, remained still. She did not even dare to look at the old man for she knew even a look would betray her presence.

Inside the chessboard, there was nothing?but a flat landscape.

After Jiang Ming surveyed his surroundings, he had a basic understanding of his situation. The radius?of this place was about 100 miles. It was not very vast and was square in shape.

His heart raced in his chest as he descended. He had tried his best to escape the pulling force from the chessboard Bai Yu had tossed out earlier.

When his feet finally touched the ground, the sense of something was amiss grew stronger. Soon enough, he discovered that he had lost access to his mana.

It felt as though the energy in this place had isolated him from his mana. It was like it had erected a barrier between him and his mana. No matter how much strength he mustered up, he could not break the barrier.

“Did it seal my mana?” Jiang Ming muttered, “With my current cultivation base, even a Paradis expert wouldn’t be able to seal my mana without my notice. However, this item did it with ease. This means this item is of top grade, and its power has been fully unlocked.”

Jiang Ming tried to fly but failed. Then, he discovered his physical strength and fake appearance, born from a secret facial molding technique, were unaffected.

“Interesting…” Jiang Ming murmured. Then, he shifted his gaze to Bai Yu who just appeared in front of him. He called up the Human Path Records. The book did not seem to be affected, and he could control it as usual.

At this moment, a thought appeared in his mind. ‘Maybe I can use the Human Path Records to break the barrier that isolates me from the mana in my sea of consciousness! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?’

“You look younger than I expected,” Bai Yu said, pulling Jiang Ming away from his thoughts. At this moment, he was no longer holding the Heaven Shattering Hammer. Instead, he was holding a black sword that was more than a meter long. He kept his eyes trained on Jiang Ming as he walked forward and said, “I’ve been keeping a low profile since I came to the Eastern Region so I don’t think I’ve offended anyone. Even if I did, I would definitely kill them. No, the reason you’re after me is not because I’ve trampled on Qingyun Sect’s dignity, right? You’re just looking for a scapegoat, correct?”

“The Eastern Region is Qingyun Sect’s territory. We have eyes everywhere. Did you think you can hide what you’ve done from us?” Jiang Ming coldly said, “As a Holy Son, you should be killing devils and maintaining the order, but did you do? Destroying villages and families, and leaving destruction in your wake. Do you really think you’re qualified to be a Holy Son?”

Bai Yi said derisively, “They’re nothing but peasants. I’m sure Qingyun Sect does this all the time as well! If my memories serve me right, you’d even started a massacre in a captured city. How shameless of you to accuse me of destroying villages and families? Don’t make me laugh! I take back what I said earlier about you looking for a scapegoat. Based on how you used the few special techniques of Qingyun Sect with such ease, you’re definitely an accomplished cultivator. However, I don’t know what happened, but I can tell you now loathe the Qingyun Sect to the core. Hence, you want to kill me to start a war between the two Sacred Lands, am I right?”

Jiang Ming clapped his hands. “As expected of a Holy Son! You’re really quick-witted!” Then, he pointed upward and asked, “Can you tell me what’s this thing?”

Bai Yi?flexed his arm as he flipped his sword, looking really powerful. He said, “I thought you’d never ask. Once, I entered an ancient immortal’s cave. After a life-or-death struggle, I obtained this chessboard. It’s called the Mana Sealing Chessboard. Once you enter it, you won’t be able to use mana at all. You can only fight hand-to-hand combat in here. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to master it so other than myself, I can only bring one person to this place at a time. Now that we’ve entered this place, the only way for us to leave is if one of us dies!”

A smile appeared on Bai Yi’s face as he continued to say, “Oh, right. I forgot to mention that as the master of the chessboard, my physical strength has been enhanced to five times stronger. I feel like I must also mention that I possess the Heaven Overlord Body. This means my physical strength is unparalleled. As the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion, I cultivated the strongest body tempering secret technique. My physical body has been tempered to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the endless stream of resources the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion provides me as well.”

“Once I activate my Heaven Overlord Body, I’ll be as strong as a Primal Spirit cultivator. With the effect of the chessboard, you’re as good as dead!” Bai Yi said smugly, “This is why the Mana Sealing Chessboard is perfect for me and why I kept it as my trump card. Even a Paradis expert’s mana would be sealed if he or she came in here!”

“When I first obtained the Mana Sealing Chessboard, I tested it out with the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion elders. We fought without our powers, only with our physical strength. I’ve defeated both elders in the Primal Spirit Realm and the Paradis realm,” Bai Yi said, “Hence, you’ll definitely die today!”

The more Bai Yu spoke, the more confident he grew.

“I’ll definitely die today?” Jiang Ming shook his head and said with a smile, “You’re all bark and no bite. The reason you told me so much is to convince yourself you’re stronger than I am and to intimidate me. You said your physical strength is enhanced by five times? You’ve defeated Primal Spirit and Paradis cultivators in here? Bullsh*t! If that’s true, you would’ve attacked me immediately without rambling on and on!”

“You’re the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion, the most respected figure in Zhong Province, and you hold yourself in high esteem. After I killed all four of your guardians, there’s no way you’d waste time talking to me if you’re really capable of killing me so easily like you said? Come, Bai Yu! Like you said, only one of us will survive today!”

Jiang Ming felt his blood boil as he wielded his sword with his right hand and clenched his left hand into a fist. Then, he walked toward Bai Yu.

Bai Yu threw his head back and laughed heartily. Nevertheless, his laughter did not reach his eyes. When he stopped laughing, he looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Do you know why most cultivators focused on mastering spells and only a few chose to temper the bodies? It’s because the process of tempering the body is arduous and painful. Although there are many people from Sacred Lands, unless they have a God Body, Saint Body, or a special physique like mine, they won’t bother to temper their bodies. I have the Heaven Overlord Body, and I’ve defeated others with God Bodies at the same level. Who do you think you are that I have to use such a petty trick on you?”

“The sword in my hand is a weapon specially forged for the Mana Sealing Chessboard! Although it has no special abilities, it’s strong and sharp. It can easily pierce the scales of a demon!”

Bai Yu swung his sword toward Jiang Ming with deadly precision as he shouted, “Today, I’ll cut you down with my Golden Obsidian! Die!”

The wind began to howl, and the void began to ripple.

Jiang Ming frowned as he raised his sword to parry the sword. He knew he had to be cautious since he was in Bai Yu’s Mana Sealing Chessboard.

Boom!

The two swords clashed.

Jiang Ming’s arm trembled slightly from the clash. He was briefly stunned. When he recovered, he asked incredulously, “Is this all you’ve got? I thought you cultivated the strongest body tempering technique? Don’t you possess the Heaven Overlord Body? Isn’t your strength amplified by five times? Didn’t you defeat Primal Spirit and Paradis experts in here? Is this really all you’ve got?”

“H-how… H-how… How’s this possible?” Bai Yu stammered as his face turned pale.
