Chapter 922: Chapter 922: What if Yang Xiaotian can’t crack it within an hour?
Nobody expected Yang Xiaotian to actually exchange one life for seventy-nine lives!
Moreover, he demanded the lives of seventy-nine individuals from the Shi Tianhong.
Who is Shi Tianhong?
That is the Young Clan Leader of the Food God Clan! Moreover, those accompanying him this time were all significant figures within the Food God Clan, each holding considerable sway.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotian demand the lives of seventy-nine of their members, a murderous rage instantly erupted within the Food God Clan.
All the experts of the Food God Clan instantly targeted Yang Xiaotian.
"Yang Xiaotian, do you think your single life is worth the lives of our seventy-nine people?" behind Shi Tianhong, an ancestor with blood-red eyes stared at Yang Xiaotian, his aura terrifying, resembling a Hell Beast.
This ancestor was surprisingly a being that had surpassed a Divine Emperor.
Everyone, feeling the terrifying aura of this ancestor from the Food God Clan, had their expressions change.
Facing the overwhelming aura of the Food God Clan’s ancestor, like a towering tsunami crashing down, Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged, looking at Shi Tianhong, "What’s the matter, don’t you dare? Or is it that you have no confidence in this young emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s mastery of the game of Go?"
He was well aware of the intentions of Shi Tianhong. The Food God Clan had millions of ways to kill him, but today, Shi Tianhong chose to challenge him through Li Feng’s game of Go, be it to spark discord between Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion and Heavenly Emperor Palace.
If Li Feng were to die, the Heavenly Emperor Palace would certainly bear enmity towards the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion; if he were to die, the Heaven and Earth Divine Mansion would not let the Heavenly Emperor Palace go either.
Eventually, regardless of who died between them, the Food God Clan could take the opportunity to ensnare the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Yet, Yang Xiaotian was not letting things go their way and was intent on dragging them down with him.
Before Shi Tianhong could speak, Li Feng said in a deep voice, "Yang Xiaotian, I am the one competing against you in Go! If I lose, I will give my life to you."
Looking at the confident and arrogant Li Feng, Yang Xiaotian coldly spoke, "In my eyes, your life is no different from a dog’s life. What would I want your life for?"
Everyone was stunned.
You must know, Li Feng is a young emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace!
Yang Xiaotian actually said Li Feng’s life was like a dog’s life?
Didn’t that imply Li Feng was nothing but a dog by Shi Tianhong’s side?
Hearing the meaning behind Yang Xiaotian’s words, Li Feng and the experts of the Heavenly Emperor Palace were enraged.
"Yang Xiaotian, how dare you insult our young emperor? You are seeking death!" an old ancestor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace roared angrily, suddenly throwing a punch at Yang Xiaotian.
The attack was unexpected, and nobody had anticipated that the old ancestor from the Heavenly Emperor Palace would suddenly strike.
Just as the punch from the old ancestor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, a forceful punch burst through the air, exploding the punch from the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s old ancestor.
The one who acted was Huang Wanlin.
Just as Huang Wanlin and the top experts from the Eternal Divine Kingdom were about to take action, Shi Tianhong suddenly said in a deep voice, "Stop!" Then, staring at Yang Xiaotian, he declared, "Fine, Yang Xiaotian, if Li Feng loses, the seventy-nine lives of our people will be yours!"
Everyone stopped.
Li Feng’s mastery in Go was something Shi Tianhong was aware of; prior to this, Li Feng had sparred with the highest Go master of their Food God Clan, and even that old ancestor had praised Li Feng’s unparalleled skills in the game.
Moreover, he knew how complex the game that Li Feng was setting up was.
Their top Go master in the Food God Clan had spent several months before he could finally decipher the game set up by Li Feng—he did not believe that Yang Xiaotian could decipher it within an hour!
That was why he had agreed.
Of course, if by any chance, Li Feng really lost, it would still be fine, because they had the Escape Talisman, allowing them to leave at any moment, and Yang Xiaotian would not be able to do anything to them.
Shi Tianhong then spoke to Huang Wanlin and the crowd of top experts in the grand hall, "You all heard it just now, if Yang Xiaotian cannot decipher Li Feng’s Go game within an hour, he loses!"
"If Yang Xiaotian loses, Yang Xiaotian’s life will be claimed by our Food God Clan. Should anyone dare to interfere, do not blame us for being unkind afterward!" his tone sinister.
Then, he gestured to Li Feng.
Li Feng stepped forward, arriving at the center of the great hall, "Yang Xiaotian, watch closely." With that, he took out a chessboard.
This chessboard bore the traces of the ages and an aura of eternity.
"The Time Chessboard!" As Li Feng presented the chessboard, many clan leaders in the hall exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Xiaotian was also taken aback.
The Time Chessboard was forged by the Master of Time.
Li Feng had unexpectedly obtained the Time Chessboard.
The Time Chessboard inherently bore the Power of Time, and if a game was set upon it, it would greatly enhance the game’s power and force.
Suddenly, Li Feng activated the power of the Time Chessboard, and instantly, it shone brightly. Streams of the Power of Time crisscrossed and flew out, filling the entire chessboard space.
Li Feng waved his hands, and bundles of Heaven and Earth energy converged into chess pieces that fell onto the board like raindrops hitting dragonflies.
Seeing Li Feng’s technique, many experts in the Game of Go looked solemn.
Li Feng’s ability to condense chess pieces with Heaven and Earth energy was a feat not many masters of the Game of Go could achieve.
Even Zhang Xian, the leading disciple of the Inner Gate of the Go department at Kaitian Academy, looked very serious.
Li Feng’s mastery of the Game of Go was likely not inferior to his, and possibly even superior.
Soon, Li Feng had condensed a hundred chess pieces. While they seemed to land haphazardly on the Time Chessboard, each piece that fell seemed incredibly profound.
As to why it was profound, many masters could not articulate it.
As one chess piece after another landed on the board, the glow of Time within the board grew stronger.
Only after he had condensed three thousand chess pieces did he finally stop.
Having created three thousand chess pieces, Li Feng was clearly strained. His hands shook as he infused three thousand streams of Divine Power into all the chess pieces, causing them to surge with light, which activated the entire chess configuration.
When the chess configuration was activated, an endless force howled forth from inside it.
Everyone looked on, witnessing three thousand chess pieces floating, spinning, and spurting various forces in the chess configuration—each piece like a small world, transforming into various phenomena.
"Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration!" Zhang Xian exclaimed upon seeing the activated chess game.
The Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration, even more profound than his Desolate Land Chess Configuration, was a game created together by the oldest ancestors of the three thousand chess paths in the Divine Domain during the Desolate Era.
He had also studied the Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration, but had never truly grasped it.
"Indeed, the Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration," Li Feng spoke, "To decipher this configuration, one must completely control the trajectories of these three thousand chess pieces."
"In the ancient history of the Divine Domain, the fastest person to ever decipher this configuration took over three months."
With this, he looked towards Yang Xiaotian and coldly smiled.
Even if Yang Xiaotian had studied the Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration before, it wouldn’t matter because each person’s deployment of the configuration uses different forces, and the trajectories of the three thousand chess pieces are never the same.
Even if Yang Xiaotian’s skills in chess, music, and calligraphy were equally high, deciphering this chess configuration within an hour would be utterly impossible.
Huang Wanlin furrowed his brows. He had heard of the Three Thousand Worlds Chess Configuration but had not expected Li Feng’s mastery of chess to be so profound to actually set it up.
What if Yang Xiaotian could not decipher it within an hour later on?
He could not help but look towards Yang Xiaotian.
