Sun Wukong sat in deep contemplation amidst the clouds.

"Noble brother, you've been sitting there for three days. Have you solved the endgame yet?"

Immortal Zhenyuan approached and asked.

"No."

Sun Wukong stood up: "But I'm close."

He descended to the ground, then picked up the chessboard and walked outside of the city.

The demons and humans in the city all watched him with curious eyes.

Sun Wukong arrived outside the city, transformed a table, and set the chessboard on top.

He muttered a spell and immediately a fierce wind arose, drawing in the spiritual energy from around ten miles, which forcefully poured into the chessboard.

The violent wind swept through the city, lifting both humans and demons, nearly pulling them in with the spiritual energy, plummeting into the chessboard.

"Freeze!"

Fortunately, Immortal Zhenyuan arrived in time and used an immobilization spell to save them.

The crowd, still in shock, looked towards Sun Wukong, observing the chessboard in front of him absorbing the massive spiritual energy and becoming increasingly dazzling.

Patterns on the chessboard flickered with radiant light, like a fragment of the Star River descending into the Mortal World.

Then, some chess pieces flew out from Sun Wukong's body, landing within the Star River, transforming into remaining pieces.

"You move first."

A strange voice suddenly emerged, resonating between heaven and earth.

"I move first."

Sun Wukong spoke, picked up an Emperor's chess piece, and placed it on the board.

After making his move, he looked up, gazing into the distance.

A bright light suddenly ignited afar, and to the crowd's astonishment, a giant hand traversed the sky, clutching a white piece headed to the mountain's side.

This white piece shone brilliantly with a majestic aura, surrounded by lightning, pressing down with a grand and solemn divinity.

This was Sun Wukong's opening move.

As the white piece descended, the ground shook suddenly.

The vibrations unsettled everyone in the city, struggling to stand.

As they steadied themselves, startled, the sky resounded with a thunderous roar.

They looked up to see another giant hand in the sky, holding a black piece, aiming for the valley to the west of the city.

This black piece, unlike ordinary black pieces, carried a tinge of crimson, exuding a terrifying curse; blood clouds spread where it passed, emitting ghostly wails and wolf howls.

After the black piece landed, the sky turned completely blood red.

The sun had disappeared, and the world was drenched in blood red as if countless tormented souls and vengeful spirits had appeared, their wails ceaseless, chilling to the bone.

Everyone felt the air around them solidify, fraught with a bloodthirsty aura, misleading one to believe they were in hell, gasping for breath.

"What sort of demon spell is this!"

"It's too horrifying!"

The city was in chaos; not just the humans, but even the demons had never witnessed a power that could alter the color of heaven and earth in an instant.

"Quiet down."

With a casual wave, Immortal Zhenyuan cast an Immortal Wind, calming everyone down.

"Truly a brilliant move."

Outside the city, Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brows. The Barrier's chess move had caught him off guard.

Wukong looked at the chessboard with a grave expression. After a long while, he conceived a method to break through, narrowing his eyes that twinkled with sharp intellect.

With a "snap," he placed another white piece.

A giant hand followed, holding a white piece descending towards the east.

When the white piece landed, the pervasive blood clouds were immediately dispersed by the rising sun, brightening the sky; instantly, fragrant aromas wafted, and fresh air rushed towards them.

Everyone inhaled this air, irresistibly taking in deep breaths.

"Immortal, we need to make some preparations."

At this moment, the two from Nan Ming appeared before Immortal Zhenyuan and said: "This game is no ordinary one. We ask the Immortal to cast spells with us to protect the city."

To prevent any mishaps from the unfinished game, they invited Immortal Zhenyuan to join in safeguarding the city.

"No problem."

Immortal Zhenyuan nodded: "Let's set up a Barrier together."

Immediately, he and Nan Ming joined forces, each using their Supreme Divine Power to create a barrier shimmering with silver light, enveloping the City within it.

In this way, the City was no longer affected by Sun Wukong's resolution of the cosmic chess game.

Everyone relaxed and turned their gaze back to Sun Wukong.

With each move Sun Wukong made, a brilliance rose from his body, and each piece placed would make heaven and earth tremble.

Mountains began to move around him, shifting from east to west, and then from west back to east.

Seeing the massive mountains flying across the sky, everyone was so frightened they could hardly catch their breath.

What kind of force could herd mountains as if they were animals?

No one dared to speak; all eyes were on Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong, immersed in the battle of the chessboard, forgot everything around him, as if he had reached a transcendent realm beyond the mundane.

The resolution of the chess game continued.

Each time a chess piece was placed, it was like lightning streaking across, making heaven and earth shudder.

Various scenes appeared outside the City, with all kinds of buildings and myriad strange creatures cycling through reincarnation.

This was clearly just a game of chess, yet it seemed to evolve through the rise and fall of the world.

Various magnificent scenes unfolded before everyone's eyes.

People watched, spellbound.

A day and night passed before the various scenes gradually contracted and ceased.

A soft rain of light fell from the sky, covering Sun Wukong and his surroundings, forming a dazzling Light Sea around him.

"I won."

He suddenly spoke and placed the last white piece on the chessboard...

At that moment, heaven and earth shook violently, and the air roared.

"Admirable."

A sigh sounded and drifted away with the wind.

A colossal beam of light burst forth from the distant mountains, reaching high into the sky, catching everyone's attention.

"Such a strong light."

Immortal Zhenyuan's eyes lit up: "My good brother was right; there indeed lies a treasure!"

The cosmic chess game was resolved.

The Barrier imprisoning the object underground opened as well.

After their initial shock, everyone saw all the illusions vanish, and sunlight poured down from the sky, wonderfully warm.

A broad avenue paved with blue stones appeared in front of the City, with mountains parting to make way for it, standing on either side like its guards.

At the end of the road, a shadow of a palace appeared.

Sun Wukong gathered up the chessboard from the table and looked towards the palace.

"Could it not be a head?"

He said with surprise and doubt.

At the same time, in the depths of the now-destroyed Brahma Void Heavenly Court, strands of Immortal Energy sparkled within the vast Spirit Vein, flowing like the Milky Way.

An ancient monk sat suspended in space, his Kasaya clean and unsullied, transcending the worldly dust.

He sat with closed eyes, in total silence.

This ancient monk had been sitting in meditation for tens of thousands of years, and now, he finally opened his eyes.

As soon as he did, someone prostrated before him: "Welcoming the Venerable from his meditation."

The voice was filled with joy.

"A monkey has come to the Heavenly Court."

The Venerable spoke, waving his hand, causing the Milky Way to tremble, as if space itself was torn open, revealing the scene of a City.

The revealed place was Wei Xiu San, where Sun Wukong was located.

"This is his location."

The Venerable announced: "He disrupted my chess game, go and eliminate him."

"Your command."

The person before him nodded quickly and left the space.
