The Legendary Man Chapter 756

Vikes then epproeched the speer, yenked it out, end checked his surroundings.

At thet moment, the reys of green light were still drifting over their heeds.

It wes es if they were looking up from underweter.

When he looked down, he sew thet they were stending on e grey surfece.

There wes e revine thet hed been cut into helf tens of meters ewey from the two of them, end it wes spreed on both sides.

“Whet’s going on here?” Jonethen esked while poking Heeven Sword into the ground.

With ell his strength, the Heeven Sword only pierced ebout en inch into the ground. Thet confirmed Jonethen’s presumption thet they were stending on some superneturel ground. If this wes reel life, Heeven Sword would’ve pierced two feet into the ground efter I let it go.

Vikes, who wes next to him, elso stebbed his golden scepter into the ground. “There’s no point in esking me. I don’t know enything ebout this plece.”

With thet, Vikes looked eround werily end edded, “It seems like we need to work together for e while longer. Even though we’re out of the forest, we’re still in denger.”

“I don’t mind thet,” Jonethen replied fletly. I cen’t think ebout exheusting the high-level cultivetors in the West Region et the moment. Insteed, I need to figure out weys to get out of here. If I don’t get out of here elive, whet’s the point in killing ell the God Reelms in the West Region?

An ear-piercing howl rang in the air, and Jonathan and Vikas were sent flying away by a strong gust of wind.

In mid-air, Jonathan wrapped his spiritual energy around the strange tree on the ground to adjust his body. The moment he turned, he saw the enormous bat on the ground struggling with all its might.

Endless streams of black liquid were then seen pouring out from its eyes, gathering to form a river on the ground.

Meanwhile, the bat’s body gradually turned into ash in the river.

At the same time, everything around became distorted, and the strange forest was ignited by the raging fire, turning into an endless sea of ​​flames.

Soon, rays of green light appeared above the sky and dispelled the initial darkness.

Jonathan soon realized he was in an illusion array.

When he looked at his feet, he found out that he wasn’t in mid-air. Instead, he had never left the ground, and all the scenes seemed illusory.

Meanwhile, Vikas, who was next to Jonathan, was in shock.

A square platform more than one meter high appeared before their eyes after the enormous bat disappeared. Vikas’ golden spear was seen inserted into the platform.

Vikas then approached the spear, yanked it out, and checked his surroundings.

At that moment, the rays of green light were still drifting over their heads.

It was as if they were looking up from underwater.

When he looked down, he saw that they were standing on a gray surface.

There was a ravine that had been cut into half tens of meters away from the two of them, and it was spread on both sides.

“What’s going on here?” Jonathan asked while poking Heaven Sword into the ground.

With all his strength, the Heaven Sword only pierced about an inch into the ground. That confirmed Jonathan’s presumption that they were standing on some supernatural ground. If this was real life, Heaven Sword would’ve pierced two feet into the ground after I let it go.

Vikas, who was next to him, also stabbed his golden scepter into the ground. “There’s no point in asking me. I don’t know anything about this place.”

With that, Vikas looked around warily and added, “It seems like we need to work together for a while longer. Even though we’re out of the forest, we’re still in danger.”

“I don’t mind that,” Jonathan replied flatly. I can’t think about exhausting the high-level cultivators in the West Region at the moment. Instead, I need to figure out ways to get out of here. If I don’t get out of here alive, what’s the point in killing all the God Realms in the West Region?

An ear-piercing howl rang in the air, and Jonathan and Vikas were sent flying away by a strong gust of wind.

Right after they were done talking, a boom as loud as thunder rang out behind them.

Right after they were done talking, a boom as loud as thunder rang out behind them.

When they turned around, they saw a mountain in the distance trembling slightly.

The mountain then floated into the air and spread out gradually to form a gigantic palm.

In between the index finger and middle finger, there was a mountain-like chess piece that slowly fell toward Jonathan’s and Vikas’ heads.

All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew.

The chess piece was still far away from the two of them, but Jonathan felt as though he had been locked by a powerful force, and he couldn’t move an inch.

Right then, Vikas seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed dramatically. “Run! This is Divine Chess!” he shouted.

After he shouted, Vikas frantically summoned the religious icon behind him and sprinted forward.

Nearby, a ray of green light flashed across Heaven Sword, and Jonathan immediately felt the constraints in the surroundings disappearing.

Not daring to hesitate another moment longer, Jonathan funneled his spiritual energy into his limbs and fled alongside Vikas.

Meanwhile, the mountain above their heads was dropping rapidly.

Not only were the fingers on the palm huge, but even the chess piece between the fingers had a radius of hundreds of meters.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out, and the ground started shaking.

When that happened, Jonathan and Vikas were hanging on the cliff of the huge ravine with their weapons in their hands.

Jonathan’s expression was utterly solemn when he looked at the chess piece above his head.

Beside him, Vikas jumped and sat on the golden scepter. At that moment, his pale face was filled with despair.

While leaning on the cliff, Vikas stammered, “W-We’re never getting out.”

Jonathan turned toward Vikas and saw the hopelessness in Vikas’ eyes.

Although they hadn’t spent a lot of time together, Jonathan knew Vikas was a proud man. If he could bring himself to say those words, that means we’re doomed.

“We have to rely on each other now, so I need more information. Could you tell me everything you know? That way, I can help us figure things out,” Jonathan said.

“We won’t be getting out!” Vikas shook his head while looking at the green sky above their heads. “If my guess is right, this place should be the Divine Chess that exists in our West Region mythology. The ground you stepped on just now was just one of the squares on a chessboard. It’s said that in ancient times, two kings of the West Region fought a great war. At that time, one billion and six hundred million soldiers from both sides perished—”

“Wait…” Jonathan interrupted Vikas’ sentence by asking, “Did you mean one hundred and sixty thousand soldiers? How could there be so many humans in ancient times? Heck, how many people do you guys have in the West Region now?”

Vikas cast Jonathan a helpless glance and asked, “Are you sure you are Asura, Jonathan? Why do I feel as though you have trouble understanding the main point of the story?”

Vikas was displeased when he continued, “The point is that after the war, God and Devil came to the human world and set up a game of life and death. If Devil wins, all the people in the world are to be slaughtered.”

Vikas’ story piqued Jonathan’s curiosity, and Jonathan couldn’t help but ask, “What happened next?”

Vikas shook his head slightly in response. “Devil wanted to kill the humans, but God intervened. However, they had similar supernatural powers, and neither could defeat the other. Therefore, Devil proposed to play chess to determine the winner. Since the game was chosen by Devil, God obviously couldn’t win the game. In order to protect humans, God left a chess piece aside. In other words, the game never finished.”

“Left a chess piece aside?” Jonathan shifted his gaze toward the mountain that looked like a chess piece above his head.

Confused, Jonathan pointed at the chess piece above his head and asked, “Are you telling me this is it?”

Vikas smiled bitterly and answered, “You better hope that’s not it. Otherwise, we’re doomed!” As soon as he finished his sentence, the sound of rushing water came from the gully under their feet.

When they both looked down, they saw the blood-red river rising promptly.

Vikas stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and a golden insect suddenly flew out from the golden scepter and fell downward.

Before the insect could reach the water, a strange and gigantic fish leaped out of the water and ate the insect.

“That fish is in the advanced phase of Grandmaster Realm!” It only took Jonathan one glance to notice the cultivation level of the strange fish. Besides, there were countless dark shadows swimming speedily in the water under them.

“Stop staring! Run!” Jonathan pulled out Heaven Sword and stepped on the wall to leap into the air. His body instantly rose by over ten meters high and landed on the huge chessboard.

After getting on the chessboard, Jonathan saw a hand as big as a mountain in front of him. It was a severed hand that was bleeding profusely into the gully of the chessboard.
