Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 310 - 308: Celestial Profound Sunset Battle Chess Game

The great sun is shattered, mysterious light blankets the heavens!

Such a world-shaking phenomenon sent tremors through the entire Northern Territory.

Just like the last time when the Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array was cast, it enveloped the whole expanse of the North.

Countless elites of the neighboring Leizhou and Qingzhou stared wide-eyed, unable to imagine whose colossal handiwork could bring this forth.

"What a terrifying disturbance, even the Venerable Iluminaries can't shake it in the slightest!"

"Blanketing the Northern Territory again—this time, is it the Barbarian Race or one of Daqian's powerhouses making a move?"

"This is absolutely not a natural phenomenon of heaven and earth!"

"Something's about to happen again? Damn it, what's the Daqian court even doing? Can't they come out and give an explanation?"

...

Zhongzhou, Office of the Provincial Governor.

The Governor of Zhongzhou appeared out of thin air, standing in the void, gazing afar toward the Northern Territory.

This time, though the phenomenon could not be seen in Zhongzhou, the top-tier powerhouses could faintly perceive ripples of its presence.

"Even greater clamor than last time—Zheng Xuan, is that you?" The Governor squinted his eyes, a storm raging in his heart, unable to find calm. He could no longer see through Zheng Xuan's deep intent.

The current Daqian feels utterly unfamiliar now!

...

By contrast, countless members of the Barbarian Race in the Northern Territory were thrown into panic, terrified and scrambling in confusion!

"Damn it, is it that Daqian powerhouse again?"

"None of this was the work of our Barbarian Race, it must be Daqian!"

"But who is it?"

"That sun above the mysterious glow seems to be shrouded by some especially peculiar power..."

...

Deep inside a certain mountain in the Northern Territory.

A cross-legged figure slowly opened his eyes, lifting his head to gaze at the infinite mysterious light in the heavens.

"Zheng Xuan, you finally can't sit still any longer."

"Such a masterstroke—sun and mysterious light together—what manner of treasure is this?"

Song Yuanhao slowly rose, excitement in his eyes gradually giving way to suspicion and alarm.

Swoosh!

A figure slipped silently to his side—someone completely unfamiliar, not from the Celestial Travelers' Commerce Association at all.

"Absolutely beyond human means—even the True Kings could not manage this."

"In the past, Haoyang Heaven-Sealing was formed only by gathering the strength of generations of Cyan Gang Sect powerhouses and precious treasures, accumulating for years; yet this scene surpasses Haoyang Heaven-Sealing by far—must be some special treasure!"

"Even you can't recognize it?" Song Yuanhao was shocked, staring in disbelief at the powerhouse at his side.

The newcomer nodded gently.

"Be prepared. Though we've plotted a long while, the Emperor today is no simpleton. Quite the contrary—he is extremely ambitious and powerful; after so long in silence, Zheng Xuan finally makes his move. That can't be simple!"

A sharp brilliance surged in Song Yuanhao's eyes. He licked his lips and sneered coldly: "Whatever methods he has, they can't stop the tide. Our momentum is now unstoppable. Zheng Xuan's appearance is exactly the east wind we need!"

The visitor smiled, fully confident as well: "Indeed. Let's watch and see what Zheng Xuan intends. When he dies, that will be the moment our destiny burns bright and supremacy is set!"

"Pitiful Barbarian Race!"

Song Yuanhao's lips curled up, a trace of undisguised mockery lingering in his eyes.

At the same time—

Outside Beixuan City, the many Barbarian Race powerhouses were all deeply uneasy, souls unsettled.

For a while, they all ignored Xu Yang!

This phenomenon, even more terrifying than the Haoyang Heaven-Sealing of old, was impossible for anyone to remain calm before!

Tuoba Hongyu's face was ashen, eyes locked on the vault of heaven, betraying nothing of his thoughts.

"Teacher, what on earth is happening?" Xu Yang's very first thought was of Zheng Xuan.

Since Zheng Xuan has been hiding in the Northern Territory all this time, it's impossible for him to stand idly by!

Yet the commotion was simply too immense.

Gu Jun gave a bitter smile: "I can only see it's a treasure, but the rest I cannot discern."

"A terrifying treasure—far surpassing the Asura Blood Book!"

At these words, Xu Yang's heart trembled.

Far surpassing the Asura Blood Book?

Hiss!

The golden mysterious glow that had been still for so long suddenly surged up, stirring up great waves of golden wrath, howling across the heavens.

"Not good!"

"Retreat, quickly!"

Barbarian strongmen bellowed hoarsely, withdrawing at once. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But the golden mysterious light, with the might of a mountain's collapse and a tsunami, at the very moment of eruption instantly overflowed the whole world!

"Don't resist!"

Xu Yang was about to resist, yet he heard Gu Jun's low shout, and immediately suppressed all the power within himself.

Of course, faced with such overwhelming force, he had no means to resist at all!

Buzz!

Shhhh!!

Endless golden mysterious light swept through every direction. Wherever it passed, the world and mountains seemed to be covered with a thick golden shield!

Xu Yang's body trembled. In a daze, he felt as if he'd ripped through space, arriving at some mystical domain!

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly opened his eyes, and to his consternation, discovered this was no longer the original world.

Beneath his feet was a land paved by golden mysterious light, shining with dazzling strength, utterly majestic!

Instinctively he looked into the distance; he saw the mysterious light surging, manifesting all sorts of scenes from the outside world!

Wilderness, wild grass, mountains, ancient trees, scattered rocks...

So life-like, indistinguishable from reality!

Many Barbarian powerhouses had also been drawn in, all of them gazing at the transformation in shock and horror.

Looking up, endless golden mysterious light venerated a blazing sun of ultimate yang in the heavens!

The bizarre thing was, as at first, this sun was missing a bite, rendering it incomplete!

"Zheng Xuan, get out here right now!"

A roar shook the world, reverberating over half the Northern Territory.

In truth, at this moment all Martial Artists in the Northern Territory were within this strange realm of mysterious light.

This roar resounded in countless ears.

"It's a top powerhouse of the Barbarian Race!"

"Hiss, a True King!"

"Heh, welcome to the Celestial Profound Sunset Battle Chess!"

A laughter suddenly erupted, like rolling thunder spreading everywhere, rumbling at everyone's ears.

"It really is Zheng Xuan!"

Xu Yang clenched his fists, too familiar with that voice.

"Celestial Profound Sunset Battle Chess?"

"Is this the treasure's name?"

"A chess match?"

Suppressing his hatred for Zheng Xuan, he frowned tightly, bewildered and uncertain.

"Zheng Xuan, get out here and stop playing tricks!"

That Barbarian True King shouted again, and at once a giant fist dazzling like the sun soared to the sky.

Rumble!

The setting sun overhead roared and blazed with divine light, shattering the fist in an instant!

"Still as violent-tempered as ever."

"What's the rush? This king will play a game with you Barbarians!"

"True Kings—all of you get out!"

The cold rebuke fell like thunder!

In an instant, the realm of mysterious light surged with terror; the setting sun blazed, golden light boiled in waves, threatening from all sides.

A few breaths later—

All went still!

Countless Barbarian Martial Artists gasped for breath!

Tuoba Hongyu stared in fright: "He really expelled them all?"

"This battle chess relies on heaven and earth as its foundation, with all living beings as chess pieces!"

"It covers the Northern Territory—this is the struggle between our Daqian and your Barbarian Race!"

"Within the chess match, Daqian and Barbarian Race will each form nine teams, led by their top prodigies and supported by their strongest!"

"The wager shall be the Northern Territory and Leizhou!"

"Barbarian Race, this king gives you seven days to pick your nine prodigy captains!"

As the voice faded, the mysterious light gleamed, and the world spun!

Xu Yang lapsed into a moment's daze. When he returned to his senses he found that Tuoba Hongyu and the rest of the Barbarian Martial Artists had vanished without a trace.

And he was no longer in the same place either; looking around, a number of unfamiliar Daqian Martial Artists had appeared.

They all seemed to be Martial Artists trapped in the Northern Territory!

"What in the world is going on?"

"What does King Beixuan mean by this? I don't get it at all!"

"Nine captains? Prodigies leading? Where are the people?"

"What if we lose?"

...
