Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming was indeed a little surprised. He did not expect that after entering the first level of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, he would actually have to experience an ‘Escape Room Challenge’.

“So, this room I’m in now is the venue?”

“The game rules of the Escape Room Challenge are as follows…”

The virtual window in front of him did not answer Qi Ming’s question. Instead, it refreshed the corresponding information and quickly displayed the rules of the secret room escape one after another.

“Game Time: One Year.”

“Game Participants: Five.”

“Game Goal: Find the exit within the specified time and escape the room.”

“Special note: During the game, various traps will appear. The pursuers, butchers, and terrifying and strange existences will appear. Those who participate in the game can use all methods. As long as they can escape the secret room, it will be considered a success. If they fail to leave the secret room in the designated time, they will be directly sent out of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda. After successfully clearing it, they can enter the second level and obtain a certain reward.”

“…”

Qi Ming looked at the other rules and basically figured out the challenge.

“The game will begin in…”

“Countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7…”

“…”

Rumble…

Qi Ming felt a tremble. Four different entrances and exits slowly appeared on the surrounding walls in four directions.

Next, Qi Ming had to choose a direction from these four entrances and exits.

“Tell me, what’s the good solution?”

“This…”

Myriad Mountains and Void were silent for a moment. They pondered for a moment and said, “Master, we can use divine powers and Dao techniques to deduce and obtain the accurate route.”

“This is an idea.” Qiu Wandao nodded, “The flaw is that it might take a long time.”

“This method is too troublesome.” Qi Ming pondered for a moment and instructed, “Mara, you will attack. Test the strength of this secret room and directly destroy it. There’s no need to find an accurate route.”

“This…” Qiu Wandao could not help but be stunned, “Lord, is this really fine? If we directly destroy the entire secret room, will we violate the rules? At that time, if we fail, we will be chased out of the Heaven and Earth Black Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.”

“We won’t.” Qi Ming said indifferently, “Don’t you see? The participants can use all methods. As long as they can escape the secret room, it will be considered a success.”

“The game rules don’t say that the entire secret room can’t be destroyed.”

“This…” Qiu Wandao was stunned, “That… makes sense… but… can this secret room be destroyed?”

“We’ll know when we try.” Qi Ming said, “Mara, attack.”

Mara nodded, “Yes.”

“Chaos Heavenly Dao.”

Mara soared into the sky and opened his hands. He circulated the Dao Scripture. Endless Heavenly Dao power gathered and surged into his body, drawing in the omnipresent power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

At the same time, countless dazzling lights rushed out of Mara’s body. All the power fused into one and transformed into an extremely powerful Chaos Heavenly Dao. The space around Mara also turned into the Chaos Void.

“So powerful!”

“Chaos Heavenly Dao!”

“…”

Myriad Mountains and Void were filled with reverence.

“This…” Qiu Wandao also sensed Mara’s power and felt lingering fear, “I’m only at the third level Eternal Supreme Venerate realm now, but his cultivation and realm have definitely surpassed mine.”

“Great Dao Divine Power!” Mara attacked, “Chaos!”

Mara raised his hands, and the Chaos World appeared. It was like an incomparably terrifying chaotic ball of light that rampaged and destroyed everything.

The Chaos World was like a huge chaotic ball of light. Under Mara’s control, it directly rushed into the sky of the secret room and defeated it with supreme power.

Crack! Crack!!!

The surrounding secret room was like porcelain. It really could not withstand this overly powerful force and began to gradually collapse. In the end, it completely collapsed.

Rumble!!!

An even more earth-shattering explosion sounded.

“This… this…” Qiu Wandao’s eyes widened, “It actually really shattered.”

“Impressive.”

“The other participants obediently found their way in the secret room, but Qi Ming actually used brute force to break through and directly defeated the secret room.”

“How shocking!”

“…”

In the outside world.

Many Eternal Supreme Venerates were paying attention to Qi Ming’s challenge. When they saw him break through, they were indeed quite shocked and unexpected.

They were also shocked by Qi Ming’s methods and were even more surprised that he could subdue such an Eternal Supreme Venerate.

It was indeed unbelievable.

It was not easy to shatter the secret room space with brute force. Even an ordinary Eternal Supreme Venerate could not do it. Otherwise, the other participants would have done so long ago and would not have obediently spent a large amount of time to find the exit.

“The secret room space has been destroyed. Congratulations on clearing it.”

Immediately after, a notification of the virtual screen appeared in front of Qi Ming.

“Reward: Top-grade Chaos Heavenly Dao Treasure, the Blade of Destruction.”

In the void.

A sharp blade about a meter long appeared. It looked like a straight sword. It was completely dark blue, and the blade had a mysterious and profound pattern.

“Not bad.”

Qi Ming reached out and held this Blade of Destruction in his hand. He could sense the powerful power contained in the blade. It was the extreme power of destruction.

Although the Blade of Destruction was very strong, it was far inferior to Qi Ming’s Intrinsic Dao Treasure.

Qi Ming put this Blade of Destruction into his inventory.

“Enter the second level.”

In the surroundings, after Qi Ming instructed Mara to shatter the secret room, everything around them shattered. He and the others arrived in a completely white void.

Directly ahead, space slowly distorted.

Not long after, a vortex-shaped entrance appeared.

This entrance was the entrance to enter the second level.

“Go!”

“Yes.”

“…”

Void, Myriad Mountains, Mara, and Qiu Wandao quickly followed.

Qi Ming and the others walked into this entrance and disappeared. The vortex-shaped entrance quickly healed and disappeared, and space returned to normal.

In the second level.

Qi Ming and the others had already arrived. This pagoda world looked very normal, but when they observed carefully, their surroundings were enveloped by an endless void. There was only a majestic mountain peak.

On the mountaintop, there was a courtyard.

In the courtyard.

There was a game of chess and two seats. On one of the seats was a white-haired elder. The game had not begun, and the white-haired elder was resting with his eyes closed as if he was waiting for the player to arrive.

In the second level.

It was chess.

Qi Ming needed to defeat this white-haired elder in a game of chess to clear the second level of the pagoda and enter the third level. However, Qi Ming did not know how to play chess.

Of course, with Qi Ming’s realm, he had comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. To someone at his realm, playing chess was no longer a game of chess, but a game of Dao.

The white-haired elder raised his head slightly. He had already seen Qi Ming and a smile appeared on his face, “Why don’t you come in and play a game of chess?”

Qi Ming’s gaze was calm as he walked into the courtyard. Mara and the others followed closely. He walked in front of the white-haired elder and sat opposite him. He asked, “Who’s first?”

“The white player goes first.” The white-haired elder said.

Qi Ming nodded. He gently picked up a white chess piece with his right hand and looked at the chessboard. On the chessboard, lines crisscrossed, forming the chessboard structure.

At this moment, in Qi Ming’s eyes, the chessboard was no longer a chessboard, but heaven and earth. Instead, it was the world and the heavens. The crisscrossed lines were the embodiment of the endless Dao.

Slap!

There was a crisp sound.

Qi Ming focused his attention. Unknowingly, his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao fused into this white chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

It was placed at the center of the chessboard.

In the game of Go, there was a saying that in order to unleash the greatest efficiency, one should occupy the corner as much as possible and form an encirclement to have the advantage. Putting the first piece at the center was a waste of the advantage.

The moment Qi Ming’s piece landed, the entire chessboard had already completely changed. In the game, the myriad Dao of heaven and earth interwoven, containing endless profundities, forming an incomparably terrifying vortex that seemed to be able to devour everything.

“You… you…”

At this moment, the white-haired elder’s hand that held the black piece seemed to be frozen in midair. He only stared at the chessboard and saw that it seemed to have transformed into an incomparably terrifying existence. As long as his black piece landed, it would be completely devoured and completely become a part of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.

Terrifying!

It was too terrifying.

The white-haired elder did not dare to make a move.

Terrifying.

It was simply terrifying.

“Please.” Qi Ming said encouragingly.

“I… I…” The white-haired elder’s head was covered in sweat. Logically speaking, at their realm, it was definitely impossible for them to sweat.

At this moment, the white-haired elder’s head was indeed covered in cold sweat. He did not dare to let go of the piece in his right hand at all. His body trembled slightly. Facing the Heaven and Earth Great Dao contained in the game, he only had reverence and fear.

Chess competition?

Ridiculous!

Too laughable!

He was not qualified to compete with Qi Ming at all!

“I… I lost…”

Crack…

The white-haired elder’s right hand relaxed, and the black piece in his hand fell freely. It rolled off the chessboard and landed on the ground, shocking everyone.

“What… what?!”

“Gasp…”

“Unbelievable! As expected of him!”

“The chess elder of the second level actually admitted defeat without even playing a single move?”

“This… this…”

“How is this possible?!”

“Too terrifying!”

“What did Qi Ming do?”

“You have to know that in the second level of the pagoda, playing chess is not about chess, but the understanding of the two sides. Their understanding of heaven and earth and Dao are even more so a game of Dao. Qi Ming played a piece to explain his Dao, and after the Chess Elder saw Qi Ming’s Dao, he actually did not even have the courage to play?”

“…”

In the outside world.

Many Eternal Supreme Venerates were paying attention to the situation on Qi Ming’s side.. After seeing this happen, they deduced the reason and were shocked by him again
