Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1370 A Turtle in a Jar

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "We've been hunted down ever since we entered this universe, so we don't know much about these things!"

Xueyun said, "This is a popular form of entertainment in the universe. Star Chess has existed for countless years, but it's generally something that older people like to do!"

"The chessboard of stars encompasses all things in heaven and earth!" the big yellow dog said. "Even you, nowadays, simply cannot understand how to play it!"

"But now that you mention it, I look at it and it really is a chessboard!" the big yellow dog said. "And..."

He looked at the statues around him and said, "At first I thought these were just statues, but now it seems they're not that simple. This is the Mysterious Heavenly Fire Formation!"

"What is this thing again?" Ye Qing asked.

“It’s one way to play Star Chess!” Wang Xue said. “Star Chess involves forming formations and attacking each other, and the board is ever-changing.”

"If you don't understand, fine. I am a cosmic chess player. These little gadgets can't stop me at all!" the big yellow dog said with a sneer. "You guys follow me!"

"Okay!" The others nodded.

The big yellow dog narrowed its eyes slightly, as if it were making calculations.

After a moment, it opened its eyes slightly, and then it jumped onto a stone slab in front of it.

Everyone watched nervously as it jumped onto the stone slab, but the slab remained motionless.

"What are you all so nervous about!" the big yellow dog yelled. "Follow me, don't go the wrong way, or you'll all be turned to ashes by this fire!"

Ye Qing and the others nodded and followed behind the big yellow dog, proceeding slab by slab.

The big yellow dog understood these things, but even so, the further it went, the slower it gradually became, as if it needed to calculate for a period of time before each step could be taken.

Just as Ye Qing and his group had walked about halfway, a series of footsteps suddenly came from behind.

The big yellow dog was lying there calculating.

Ye Qing quickly turned his head, and below the passage, dozens of people filed out at that moment!

"Stop right there!" Those people, half-mad, rushed out of the cave ahead!

They ignored all that and stepped directly onto the stone slab!

However, the next moment, one stone slab after another began to fall!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

One after another, flames shot up from below in an instant!

The dozens of people who rushed onto the platform didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly reduced to ashes in the flames.

Those who were about to rush out were startled and quickly stopped.

However, there were too many people rushing in. When they stopped, the people behind them became congested, and another group of people were directly pushed into the pillar of fire.

The immense energy emanating from it caused those behind to gradually stop as well!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A sound rang out.

The crowd did their best to make way to both sides, and soon, some more people came to the front. Most of these people were experts at the peak of the Domain Lord level or above.

Ye Qing spotted Qin Hongyi in the crowd!

Fang Chen, his expression grim, grabbed the person next to him and asked, "What happened!"

"As soon as they stepped onto the platform, the stone slabs collapsed. Then, terrifying flames erupted below, and everyone was instantly reduced to ashes!" someone said.

Fang Chen's expression changed slightly. He saw Ye Qing and his dozen or so men ahead. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sinister-looking mentalist beside him, saying, "Kill them!"

The mentalist shook his head and said, "My mental power is completely suppressed. There is a formation here that restrains mentalists. I cannot use it unless this formation is broken!"

"Useless, useless!" Fang Chen cursed.

"Fang Chen, don't think about this yet!" At this moment, a member of the ancient clan slowly walked out from beside him, looking ahead with shock in his eyes!

"Hmm?" Fang Chen looked at the man and asked, "What do you mean?"

The speaker was Gu Mo, the leader of the ancient clan this time. He squatted on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Haven't you figured it out yet? This is very likely the tomb of a saint or even a great emperor!"

Beside him, Yunyi, whose face had been gloomy and dark, heard this and his pupils contracted as he asked, "Are you sure?"

"A formation that suppresses spiritual power, underground, a tomb passage—this is most likely a tomb, and one of this size!" Gu Mo nodded, "It should be almost certainly one of them!"

Hearing this, Fang Chen gradually calmed down and said calmly, "Shen Rong, have everyone except those from our major forces leave."

The tomb of the Great Emperor means that it is very likely that the Great Emperor's legacy is here!

With all nine level-nine civilizations present, they would never allow this legacy to fall into the wrong hands!

Although they haven't yet found a way to get through this place, this news must not be leaked any further.

The inheritance of the Great Emperor is enough to make many people take risks!

Beside her, Shen Rong nodded. She was the leader of the academy, and behind the academy was the Great Emperor of Cause and Effect, which is the current Tianyan Civilization.

She quickly retreated to give orders to the people behind her!

“At this distance!” Just then, the veiled woman from the Western Emperor Sect spoke up, “It would be difficult to attack them from this distance. We need to catch up!”

"Cao Luo!" Just then, Fang Chen looked at Cao Luo and said, "Use your spatial abilities..."

Not far away, Cao Luo glanced at Fang Chen and said calmly, "I can shorten the space between these two places. We can attack them through this distorted space, but they can also attack me. And I will be the first to be hit. I am only in the early stage of Domain Lord. I can't withstand their attacks!"

"You dog of the academy, how dare you disobey me?" Fang Chen said, his eyes flashing with rage.

Cao Luo stared at Fang Chen, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "What did you say?"

"I'd say you're nothing but a dog of the academy. So what if you have unique characteristics? You're still a lowly bastard from a lesser civilization!" Fang Chen cursed.

Cao Luo stared intently at Fang Chen and said, "Either you kill me now, or... when my cultivation level is the same as yours, I will definitely kill you!"

"How dare you!" Fang Chen roared in fury!

"Alright!" Just then, Yunyi shouted from the side, "Cao Luo is right! The opponent has Venerable-level attacks, and we are at a great disadvantage in this narrow space!"

"Hmph!" Fang Chen glanced at Cao Luo and then said, "Now that they've entered this place, they're trapped like turtles in a jar. Our most important task now is to figure out how to get through this platform."

Qin Hongyi squatted on the ground, looked at the platform for a long time, and said, "Holy Son, this... platform should be the Starry Chessboard!"
