Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 1050 Take a Gamble

Zhang Haoran said unhappily, "Of course we know that breaking through here will be more dangerous, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Breaking through here will only increase the difficulty of breaking through the virtual door.

If I were to break through in the Three Realms, I might be attacked by an emperor himself."

He felt that saying this was a bit of an insult to his own prestige.

Changing the subject, he said, "For nearly ten thousand years, no one has dared to advance to the ninth level.

Many people are suppressing their strength because they are afraid of being ripped off by those old silver coins after achieving enlightenment.

The Western Emperor said in disbelief, "Have things developed to this point?

As the emperor, he scared the warriors of the three realms so much that they dared not break through. I really don’t know what to say.

It seems the main body has been severely corroded!"

In the eyes of the Western Emperor, besides anger and helplessness, there was also a hint of pity.

Zhang Haoran immediately refused to do it. Even if the emperor's true body came down to the mortal world, he dared to confront him head-on, but he could not stand this kind of pitying look.

He immediately shouted angrily, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not afraid of those old silver coins. Before coming in, I had a big fight with the treacherous Emperor Ji. He was beaten so badly that he lost his way. In the end, Ji gave away all his wealth, and I let him go..."

"hehe!"

The Western Emperor chuckled and said nothing, but his eyes were full of teasing.

The meaning is clearly, if you are not afraid, why don't you break through outside and then come in?
Zhang Haoran said helplessly: "I am not afraid of confronting the emperor head-on, but I don't want to be disturbed when breaking through.

My first two virtual doors have mutated, so I don’t want to take any risks this time!"

"Hey!"

He sighed and said with a look of melancholy, "My request is not high. I just want the Void Gate to not mutate and no one to cause trouble. I just want to break a normal Void Gate."

In fact, he knew that his wish was difficult to achieve because his accumulation was too strong. Even if the Xu Men did not mutate, its strength would be greatly improved.

It would have been better if he didn't explain. After hearing what he said, the Western Emperor looked at him with eyes full of sympathy. His request was really too low. He just wanted to break through normally once, but such a simple wish could not be realized.

The warrior only broke through three virtual doors during his training. The first two times, mutations occurred. This time, he was forced to break through within the boundary point. It is estimated that the third virtual door will not be much better.

His journey to martial arts was truly full of ups and downs.

But then again, if he hadn't broken the two mutated virtual doors, his strength wouldn't be so strong. It can only be said that there are gains and losses!
The Western Emperor noticed that he was getting angry and immediately changed the subject, "Who is the one who has made the breakthrough? Is he in danger?"

Zhang Haoran said with some worry: "He is a senior of my human race, there shouldn't be any problem. He has reached this realm for thousands of years, and his foundation is quite strong."

He was indeed a little worried. According to the time here, almost two months had passed. He didn't know how many levels Zhen Tian Wang had passed, and at which level he had broken through.

Did they find a safe place to break through, or did they run into trouble and were forced to advance?

No matter what the situation was with King Zhentian, he knew that he could no longer waste time with the King of the West.

This was only the fourth level he had passed. There were still several more levels to go through, and there was also a tree causing trouble. He might not be able to randomly get to the level he wanted, so he had to leave more time to prevent accidents.

The most important thing is that his cultivation has not yet broken through, so he must find a suitable level as soon as possible.

In fact, Zhang Haoran had already planned it out. If he wanted to break through the virtual door within the boundary point, there were two levels that were most suitable.

The first level is where the Emperor of Earth is located. There is a problem with the projection of the Emperor of Earth there. He cannot be resurrected after death and his strength is not too strong. It is the safest level.

There is also a level where the God Emperor is located. No one knows what went wrong there, but the projection of the God Emperor is not there.

These two levels are the most suitable places for breakthroughs, and there is basically no need to worry about being disturbed.

Other levels are not possible. Take the Western Emperor in front of us for example. His strength is not strong, but who can guarantee that he will not rely on infinite resurrection to cause trouble at the critical moment?

There is no need for anyone to take direct action to prevent him from breaking through.

These projections have certain permissions within the level. If a space channel suddenly opens nearby when he breaks through, it will be troublesome.

Who knows to what extent Xumen will mutate after absorbing the energy in the space channel?
The light variation is good.

If he and Xu Men were sucked into the space channel together, they might end up drifting in the void.

In short, he didn't dare to break through the checkpoint guarded by this group of old silver coins.

Of course, he can also choose to go back to the level of Emperor Zhan Tian. With Emperor Zhan Tian's character, he will never take advantage of others in distress.

If they had malicious intentions, they would have taken action long ago.

No matter how confident Zhang Haoran was, he didn't think he could defeat Emperor Zhan Tian now.

When the two of them are at the same level in the future, they can compete with each other.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to disturb Emperor Zhan Tian. It was not easy to owe a favor to a powerful man of this level.

Zhang Haoran decided to leave as soon as possible, so he immediately said seriously: "Senior Xihuang, I have an agreement with the senior who is breaking through now to meet before the last level.

I need to get through it as soon as possible.

So let’s not drink this tea anymore and start the next round!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the tea leaves in Xi Huang's hand with regret.

In fact, he really wanted to ask, "Can I take my tea away?" But he was not so shameless, so he had to give up for the time being.

Although Xi Huang was very curious about who was breaking through, he did not ask. He would naturally know when the other party reached this level. If the other party did not come to this level, then he would not need to know who it was.

"Since you have something urgent to do, let's get started."

The Western Emperor did not put the tea leaves in his hand away, but placed them on the edge of the table. He said with a smile, "This kind of spiritual tea is very precious. Will you miss this opportunity, my friend?

I'm warning you, kid, don't have any bad ideas. This old man's projection is certainly no match for you, but I can still destroy this tea."

Zhang Haoran smiled awkwardly. To be honest, he really didn't want to miss the opportunity to purify his spiritual power. He did want to snatch it just now, but he had to pass the level first. He didn't want to be trapped here.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his mind and hadn't put it into action yet, so he definitely wouldn't admit it.

So he said, "Senior, you're overthinking it! I just have something urgent to do and need to clear the customs as soon as possible. I don't covet your spiritual tea."

After all, the Western Emperor is an old antique who has lived for tens of thousands of years. How could others not see his little thoughts?
He chuckled and said, "Haha! From what you just said, it seems you are very confident that you can beat me in the next round!"

What you said just now really sounded like that. You can leave if you have something urgent to do? Do you really think that he, the gatekeeper, doesn't exist?
The Western Emperor smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?
This time we won three sets in a row, best two out of three!

If you win, I will give you this box of spiritual tea. Besides that, I can answer one question for you, and of course, I will allow you to pass the level."

What the Western Emperor was thinking was that instead of waiting for this guy to pass the level and then snatch him away, it would be better to just give him away as a bargaining chip.

Of course, that's assuming he wins. "If you lose, young friend, then stay here and play chess with me. In the meantime, you should also tell me about what's going on in the outside world."

Don't worry, I won't keep you here for too long. You can leave when the next person to challenge you appears.

I wonder if you are willing?"

This condition may not seem harsh, but it is actually quite insidious.

You have to know that the time here is more than ten times faster than that in the outside world. If you spend one year here, only one month will pass in the outside world.

It is not known when the next challenger will appear, and he will be trapped here during this period.

"no problem!"

Zhang Haoran agreed without hesitation. Not to mention the best of three games, as long as the rules were not changed, even if the Western Emperor played another ten thousand games, he would not be able to win.

The chessboard was brought over again, with the box of spiritual tea next to it.

Zhang Haoran picked up the black piece without hesitation and placed it in the center of the chessboard, where Tianyuan was located, with a snap.

At the same time, his aura changed, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a giant sword that pierced the sky. Invisible ripples spread out, covering the chessboard and the two chess pots.

As the scope is reduced, the sword intent within the area becomes more intense.

A faint silver light emanated from the chessboard and chess pieces.

He did not cover the Western Emperor with his sword domain, so this was not considered an attack.

Having reached the Earth Sword Realm, the sword intent he could exert on the chessboard and chess pieces was very powerful. After being amplified by the domain, he could definitely hurt this projection.

Zhang Haoran smiled and looked at Xi Huang and said, "Senior, it's your turn now. Don't forget the rules we set before. If you don't make a move within ten breaths, you lose."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small crystal sword floated above his head, emitting golden halos.

That is the Immortal Sword Soul!

The sword spirit locked onto the Western Emperor, as if it would strike out at any moment.

He still didn't do anything, it was just a deterrent.

The Western Emperor was sweating profusely at this time. He felt like there was a sharp sword pointing at his eyebrows, which could pierce him at any time.

Even his figure became illusory.

The Western Emperor's real body is not strong, and his projection is even weaker. How could he withstand the threat of the sixth-level sword spirit?

However, he was the emperor after all, and was unwilling to admit defeat.

"boom!"

A powerful burst of energy and blood allowed him to barely break free from the influence of the sword spirit. The Western Emperor reached out to the chess pot with trembling hands.

However, just as he picked up a chess piece... there was a clang of sword sound, and a sword mark appeared on his finger!
Tick ​​tock!

A drop of golden blood fell into the chess pot, dyeing some of the white pieces golden.

After Zhang Haoran entered the Heaven and Earth Supreme Sword realm, he could bestow his sword intent upon any object. Now, with the added blessing of the sword spirit and domain, what was in the hands of the Western Emperor? It was nothing more than a pawn.
"Since the rules have been set, I will definitely abide by them. You underestimate me too much."

The Western Emperor let out a low roar, his mental strength burst out, and regardless of the blood flowing from his fingers, he grabbed the chess piece and pressed it down on the chessboard with a snap.

The chessboard was also blessed with sword intent. Every time he made a move, he would be attacked by sword intent twice. Moreover, these were attacks he made on his own, so it was not considered an active attack by Zhang Haoran.

At this time, the Western Emperor's right hand was already dripping with blood. He sneered and said, "I knew you were dishonest, but your tricks are not enough to stop me."

Zhang Haoran kept smiling, and with a thought, a black piece flew up and landed on the chessboard.

"It's just a game of chess, why take it so seriously? Senior, please don't force it!"

He wanted to see how long the opponent could hold on. The sword intent alone could not inflict serious damage on the opponent, even with the blessing of sword soul and domain.

However, this is not a simple competition of strength. Don't forget, there is also the sword technique of cutting the heart. Now the chessboard and chess pieces are blessed with sword intent. As long as the opponent is injured, he will be cut down from the martial arts realm.

At first, the effect is not obvious for just some minor wounds, but if it happens too many times, the other party will definitely not be able to bear it.

This is true.

At this time, the Western Emperor's face had begun to turn black, and he obviously felt the horror of the sword technique that could cut through the heart.

This shocked Xihuang very much. He originally thought that even if the other party used some tricks, it would not be a big deal. At most, he would be injured. Anyway, the projection could be resurrected infinitely and could not die. One rebirth could clear all negative states.

In the end, both sides still have to decide the winner in the chess game.

But now he found that it was not the case at all. Swordsmanship could cut the heart and hurt the soul, and this kind of injury would not disappear even after resurrection.

In other words, if he continues to persist, his strength will become weaker and weaker, and in the end he may not even be able to maintain the level of Heavenly King. If his strength drops to that level, this projection may completely dissipate.

Emperor Xi didn't dare to insist any longer. He sighed and didn't pick up the chess piece again. He looked at Zhang Haoran with a very complicated look.

He really wanted to say that the other party was cheating, but he couldn't say it.

The reason is very simple. If a high-level warrior comes here, he may not be able to lift those chess pieces. This can also be considered a test.

Those who are not strong enough are not even qualified to play chess with him.

In fact, this is also very normal. When one cultivates to the level of Heavenly King, every move he makes has great power. Chess pieces made of ordinary materials will probably break with a slight pinch.

Playing chess is a very elegant thing. How can one be so careful when holding a chess piece?

Since the chess game has limitations on strength, we can't blame Zhang Haoran for using sword intent. Besides, he didn't take direct action, it was the opponent who took the initiative to approach him.

The Western Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile, "Young friend, your methods are extraordinary. I admire you!"

"There's no need for a best-of-three match. I admit defeat.

This box of spiritual tea is yours!
You can also ask me another question."

They had agreed that playing chess was about computing power, but the opponent used sword power. This was too despicable, and he naturally felt dissatisfied.

So he waved his hand, and the box of spiritual tea on the table floated over. If Zhang Haoran did not withdraw his sword intent, the box of spiritual tea would be destroyed immediately.

In the original novel, as soon as Fang Ping found a loophole, he immediately added new rules. That was to take advantage of Fang Ping's lack of strength, and he also wanted to learn some ancient secrets from him, so he would not really do it.

He didn't dare treat Zhang Haoran like that. Just now, the man had only cast sword power on the chess pieces and the chessboard, causing him some minor injuries, but his martial arts realm was reduced a lot.

If he took ruthless action, he would definitely be able to completely destroy this projection, so the Western Emperor had no choice but to admit defeat.
