From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 479 A Completely Different Power

The surrounding space seemed to expand without limit, with a crisscrossing chessboard below and a vast cosmic starry sky above.

A phantom over a hundred feet tall slowly materialized behind Lin Yunxiao, its face appearing and disappearing, its eyes like two stars, looking ancient and mysterious.

【Sparkling Chess Player】!
This is the image of the Great Dao that Lin Yunxiao obtained back then. He combined his own Dharma form with it and transformed it into this image.

The phantom held a chess piece in its hand and gently placed it down. In the starry sky, a point of light transformed, as if a star had fallen from the sky.

The overall situation on the chessboard, along with the constant changes in those sparkling chess pieces, evolved into various scenes.

His chess games involve various forces such as space, reality, and order. Although he is not known for his fighting prowess, when it comes to the profound mysteries, he is definitely one of the best among his peers.

"It's interesting."

Chen Xiujie was not surprised but delighted to see this.

It was comfortable with You Ming, but You Ming never made a move in front of him, so he couldn't find anyone to spar with even if he wanted to.

He was overjoyed to finally meet a worthy opponent.

He leaped out, and while still in mid-air, his body suddenly expanded.

In an instant, a ball of flame engulfed his physical body, transforming him into a disheveled, hundred-foot-tall giant.

This was an incredibly ugly fire giant, its skin had turned like rock, with streams of lava flowing across it, and fire patterns swirling around its clenched fist.

A huge furnace was carried on his back, with flames surging inside, as if trying to melt the heavens and earth.

Chen Xiujie laughed loudly, his fist igniting with golden-red flames as he slammed it heavily onto the chessboard.

The punch landed like a meteorite falling to earth, flames surged, and space shattered.

The entire Starfire Chessboard was instantly shaken, but Lin Yunxiao remained calm as a phantom behind him placed a piece.

A soft sound, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

The chess piece fell into the void, instantly triggering the reversal of countless starlight, transforming into layers of light curtains, as if countless spaces were overlapping.

This surging power was dispersed to various places, causing the entire chessboard to continue to tremble, but it could not be broken.

"Not bad, you should try it yourself."

Lin Yunxiao sneered and moved his two fingers again.

Then, suddenly, countless shattered sparks in the entire starry sky began to reassemble.

Everything seemed to reverse time and space, and these sparks transformed into a giant fist in an instant.

"The real and the illusory are reversed; once a move is made, there is no going back."

The fist was incredibly powerful; it actually gathered Chen Xiujie's original strength back together and slammed it into Chen Xiujie's body.

"boom."

Chen Xiujie's eyes narrowed, and the furnace behind him blazed open, spewing out a column of red flames that shot straight into the sky and collided with the fist.

The two forces converged in mid-air, forming a massive vortex of light and flame.

After a deafening roar of energy, countless rays of light suddenly burst forth.

Everything seemed to have fallen into silence.

"Kakakaka."

A few breaths later, fine cracks appeared in the surrounding void, as if some invisible, solid wall had been breached at that moment.

"So domineering, such concentrated power." Lin Yunxiao's figure was hidden in the starry sky, his clothes swaying slightly. Just now, the opponent's move almost shattered his chessboard.

"You're not bad either, this turtle shell is really hard."

Chen Xiujie's figure slowly appeared. The huge fire giant seemed to have weakened considerably. It was obvious that his explosive move had also consumed a lot of his power.

"Unfortunately, you lost."

Lin Yunxiao looked at Chen Xiujie. Although the other party's power was domineering and unparalleled, domineering alone was not enough.

"Use the Tao as the board and the stars as the pieces, and all laws will be imprisoned."

Lin Yunxiao stood in the air, with crisscrossing lines of light and shadow appearing beneath him.

Suddenly, the entire chessboard seemed to flip over, and countless chess pieces transformed into streams of light, like thousands of stars falling to earth, weaving layers of star curtains that enveloped Chen Xiujie's enormous figure.

Every line and every corner of the chessboard contains the folding of space and the deduction of illusion.

The cracks that had previously appeared were repaired in an instant, and an invisible force wrapped around him layer by layer, like cotton wool or spider silk, falling on Chen Xiujie's body. Subtly, it made the burden on Chen Xiujie's body heavier and heavier.

Just like a strong insect that struggles more and more after falling into a spider web, eventually being overwhelmed by endless spider silk and unable to escape.

Layer upon layer of power enveloped Chen Xiujie's body, and the flames on his body, which were already gradually dying out, now cooled down even more, threatening to extinguish at any moment.

Lin Yunxiao watched all this, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.

This Chen Xiujie is indeed very strong. He acknowledges his opponent's strength, but precisely because of this, only by completely defeating him can he show respect to this opponent.

However, just as those invisible forces were about to completely extinguish the flames on Chen Xiujie's body.

Suddenly, countless twisted flames appeared in the void. These flames were purplish-black, completely different from the previous scorching and violent ones, instead carrying a sense of desolation and despair.

The flame looked very weak, but the moment it appeared, Lin Yunxiao felt a chill run down his spine.

"Are you...are you crazy?"

Looking at the flames, Lin Yunxiao suddenly realized something.

These flames were not activated by Chen Xiujie's magic, but by his soul and origin.

He actually used himself as fuel to ignite the flames that represented death and annihilation.

The flame is no longer just temperature, but a manifestation of will.

This fire can burn away falsehoods and illusions, even the formation of the Starfire Chess Game was burned away inch by inch.

The forces binding Chen Xiujie were constantly crumbling.

"boom."

But the next moment, Chen Xiujie's chest was suddenly illuminated by the firelight, his heart was beating like the red sun, and flames flowed through his blood vessels throughout his body.

The flames, which originally carried connotations of death and annihilation, now burst forth with unprecedented vitality, and the flames are brighter than ever before.

At this moment, his physical body, magical power, and divine soul seemed to completely merge into one, burning into a ball of flame.

This ball of flame pierced directly through the heavens and earth, carrying an unstoppable force that distorted the surrounding void.

"not good……"

This burst of power was several times stronger than Chen Xiujie's previous all-out punch, and it contained an astonishing power symbolizing new life and hope, surging and vigorous.

Lin Yunxiao was a little confused. Chen Xiujie's power was filled with despair and deathly stillness before, how could it suddenly become so magnificent, vast and indestructible?
But he had no time to think about that now; he had to focus all his energy on strategizing and preventing the game from being violently destroyed.
