Jun Xiaoyao dropped a piece onto the chessboard.
The chess piece, formed by the condensation of Law, was like a giant rock falling into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves.
Endless power of Law surged, eventually condensing into a great executioner's blade.
No, it should be called the Dragon Slaying Blade.
The Dragon Slaying Blade was constructed from endless Law, and within it, countless Law chess pieces could be seen.
And Dragon Kan was like a great Dragon on the chessboard, waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for Jun Xiaoyao's move to harvest him!
"No!"
Dragon Kan's body moved, like a startled Dragon roaring through the Nine Heavens, and his powerful Dragon Qi shot up into the sky.
His Azure Dragon Bloodline was pushed to its limit.
In the Void Realm, it was as if myriad Dragon phantoms appeared.
At this moment, Dragon Kan, pushed to a dead end, had used every ounce of his strength.
His Bloodline burned, and all his trump cards were revealed. The powerful fluctuations of his Azure Dragon Divine Ability could seemingly destroy everything.
But it couldn't shake the Square Inch Universe in the slightest.
Nor could it withstand that divine strike!
Pfft!
The Dragon Slaying Blade fell!
Dragon Kan's Dragon head was directly sent flying.
What was even more surreal was that his Dragon head actually transformed into several chess pieces and flew out.
It was as if captured chess pieces were thrown off the board.
It was truly astonishing!
In the end, Dragon Kan's entire body turned into scattered chess pieces, and his Primordial Spirit was annihilated within them!
Meanwhile, Xuanwu Crown Prince, who had already dealt with Que Ling Heavenly Maiden, saw this scene, and his pupils constricted.
This could be said to be the most elegant and exquisite way he had ever witnessed a death.
Even death was so artistic!
And most importantly, this extremely profound Human Emperor's Great Divine Ability, Jun Xiaoyao had unleashed it so perfectly.
It was simply like art!
The art of killing!
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes spotless.
He was like a refined scholar who had just finished a game of chess, elegant and graceful.
Where was there any hint of a murderous aura?
Even Jun Xiaoyao had to admit that this Divine Ability had a certain flair.
That Ancient King Xuanyuan the Great was indeed extraordinary.
He could create a Divine Ability of such terrifying power from a mere hobby.
Jun Xiaoyao felt nothing after casually killing this top Prodigy of the Divine Hall.
He turned his gaze to Xuanwu Crown Prince.
Que Ling Heavenly Maiden had also fallen into his hands.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, Xuanwu Crown Prince's body tensed.
Even though the Black Tortoise was known for its top-tier defense, he felt that facing this White-robed Young Master, his defense would not be much stronger than paper.
This person was too terrifying!
"Why so nervous? Don't worry, your Black Tortoise Divine Hall made the right choice."
"And I've always been good to my own people."
With that, Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand, and a seed of fire suddenly vanished into the Void Realm, integrating into Xuanwu Crown Prince's body.
It was the seed of the Black Tortoise Cold Nether Fire that Jun Xiaoyao had condensed.
"Consider this a small reward," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Thank you, Young Lord!"
Xuanwu Crown Prince showed a joyful expression.
Even he had never refined the Black Tortoise Cold Nether Fire, yet Jun Xiaoyao had bestowed it upon him so casually.
He was indeed the destined one!
"Alright, let's go."
Jun Xiaoyao walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Xuanwu Crown Prince respectfully followed Jun Xiaoyao.
Acquiring the Square Inch Universe, a Human Emperor's Great Divine Ability, was a very good gain for Jun Xiaoyao.
Most importantly, the strength of this Divine Ability was related to the power of Law.
It would increase with Jun Xiaoyao's strength, so there was no need to worry about its power weakening in the Late Stage.
It could be said to be extremely suitable for Jun Xiaoyao.
Of course, Jun Xiaoyao wasn't the only one to receive such a great Opportunity.
In the deepest core of the entire Emperor Mausoleum, palaces stretched endlessly, presenting a myriad of magnificent sights.
The Opportunities hidden within were absolutely numerous.
Chu Xiao, Oriental Aoyue, Xiahou Divine Treasure, and other top Prodigies had also gained extraordinary harvests.
And as Jun Xiaoyao delved deeper, he increasingly felt a subtle yet powerful pressure.
"Is that pressure from that item?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered in his heart.
If there was one most valuable treasure left by the Human Emperor, that item would be incomparable.
Jun Xiaoyao followed the aura deeper.
Eventually, he arrived at the deepest core of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum.
It was an incredibly magnificent ancient heavenly palace, over a thousand feet tall, truly like the abode of ancient gods, exuding an incomparable pressure.
Anyone standing before this ancient heavenly palace would feel as small as an ant.
"Is this the most core place of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum?"
Looking at the dazzling ancient heavenly palace, Jun Xiaoyao also sighed in his heart.
At this moment, some figures also descended here.
They were all the Prodigies from various forces from before.
"Xiaoyao," Yiyi called out, landing beside Jun Xiaoyao.
"Young Lord."
Yun Xuanxu, Yun Yusheng, and others also arrived.
"Oh... he..."
Seeing Xuanwu Crown Prince standing behind Jun Xiaoyao, Yun Xuanxu and others showed confused expressions.
"He's one of us," Jun Xiaoyao said.
At this time, Oriental Aoyue, Gu Xiaoyu, Tantai Qingxuan, and others also appeared.
In addition, Xiahou Divine Treasure, Chu Xiao, Yu Tu, Xi Mei, and others also appeared.
"Why aren't the people from the other Divine Halls here? And why is Xuanwu Crown Prince following him? Could it be..."
Chu Xiao frowned as he saw the situation with Jun Xiaoyao.
However, before he could think further, a rumbling sound echoed!
The ancient heavenly palace, at the deepest core of this Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum, actually opened its gates on its own.
Within it, countless Dao flowed, resplendent and magnificent.
The Prodigies present did not hesitate at all, directly rushing into it.
Everyone knew that the true Legacy of Human Emperor Xuanyuan the Great was very likely within this ancient heavenly palace.
Jun Xiaoyao also stepped forward and entered.
And after they all entered, the ancient heavenly palace's gates slammed shut!
At this, all the Prodigies sensed something was amiss.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced around. This should only be the front hall of the ancient heavenly palace.
On the ground, countless overturned runes lit up, and a terrifying aura emanated.
Human Emperor's Killing Formation!
Of course, this wasn't the strongest Human Emperor's Killing Formation.
After all, the Human Emperor was merely selecting inheritors, not trying to annihilate all of them.
So this Human Emperor's Killing Formation was just a test.
But even so, its power was definitely not something ordinary Prodigies could withstand.
It was even a huge test for these top Prodigies who entered the ancient heavenly palace.
Boom!
Countless killing lights and divine radiance soared into the sky, surging towards all the Prodigies like an overwhelming tide.
Immediately, some Prodigies were injured.
Jun Xiaoyao's figure flashed.
In his glabella, a brilliant light flickered.
It was the Human Emperor's Mark!
Just as he had previously deciphered the Heaven River Ancient Formation in the Tianhe Realm, he could now still use the Human Emperor's Mark to deduce the flaws in the Human Emperor's Killing Formation.
And surprisingly, the most at ease person in the entire place was Chu Xiao.
Because he discovered that as long as he activated the Ancient King Xuanyuan Bloodline within his body, the Human Emperor's Killing Formation would not affect him.
"Indeed, I am the destined one!"
Chu Xiao's spirit was greatly uplifted, and he was the first to pass through the Human Emperor's Killing Formation.
And then, to everyone's surprise, the second person to pass through the Human Emperor's Killing Formation was not Jun Xiaoyao, but Yiyi!
Because she found that this Human Emperor's Killing Formation also had no effect on her!
