The wind remained calm, gathering all the chessboards to continue the next round of the match.
Now, he had beco the light of hope for everyone; their survival depended entirely on this young one.
On the other side.
On the Floating Island.
Gu Yue wiped the cold sweat off his face.
"All draws."
Li Xiaobai: "Was it intentional or accidental?"
Gu Yue: "Intentional, or rather, only the path of a draw can be taken. I can see thirty moves ahead, while the opponent should see more than fifty."
"Even though he sees further than I do, in a constantly changing situation, once both sides can see twenty moves ahead, it usually results in a stalemate, making it hard to determine a winner."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this match should also end in a draw."
"We need to be prepared; after this draw, those Saint King Realm masters might directly charge towards us."
Li Xiaobai nodded slightly: "No worries, you continue playing. I’m about to advance to the Saint King Realm, and once I reach it, I can crush those small fries with one hand."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue was slightly startled, glanced at him, said nothing, and threw himself back into the match.
This round was a Perfect-level experience battle against artificial intelligence; as long as Gu Yue remained calm, nothing could go wrong, and the sa applied to the opponent.
With no flaws, the ga could only result in a tie.
Li Xiaobai moved to a side, sat cross-legged.
In the Extre Evil Pure Land, the Great Resentnt Species had been completed, with the final pair of eyes carved into lifelike detail.
He thought about it, controlled all the Great Resentnt Species to kneel and bow at a distance towards the statue.
With that bow, the statue began to tremble violently, cracks spreading, dust falling everywhere, almost falling apart but managed to hold up.
The Great Resentnt Species continued their worship, the second bow, the third bow, the statue swayed, on the verge of collapse.
Li Xiaobai was on edge, fearing the statue might not withstand and fall apart.
And finally, a piece of text flickered on the System panel.
[Ding! Host detected advancing to the Saint King Realm, special reward obtained: Return to the Original True Fist.]
[Ding! Host detected possessing the sa type of Divine Level skill, automatically fusing...]
[Ding! Divine Hand fusing, obtaining Faith-level Skill: Materialistic Iron Fist.]
It’s done!
Finally advanced!
Li Xiaobai was overjoyed, commanded the Great Resentnt Species to stop their worship, and focused his mind into the System panel.
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]
[...]
[Defensive power: Saint King Realm, next phase upgrade conditions (Godslayer 0/1), gather a Perfect-level Law (0/1).]
[Godslayer: Kill one deity to advance, after advancing randomly inherit one Law of the slain deity, the slaying quest can be reserved.]
[...]
[Materialistic Iron Fist (Faith-level Skill): The body of a mortal, rivaling deities.]
[Note: Spread materialism, believers can learn the divine skill Materialistic Iron Fist, the more who learn it, the stronger it becos.]
This ti’s significant update to the System panel.
Appeared a new thod to beco a deity, and also gained a Faith-level Skill.
The essence of the Godslayer strategy is similar to others—hunting deities, obtaining the Divine Core. The difference is, becoming a deity is more challenging for him, requiring not only a Perfect-level Law but also the death of a deity.
However, the benefits are imnse, able to inherit one Law of the slain deity, aning upon becoming a deity, if lucky, having two Perfect-level Laws.
Furthermore, the Godslayer quest can be retained, aning he could slay several deities and choose one Law to inherit from them.
But it’s incredibly difficult; the Saint King Realm cannot stand on par with deities—how easy is it to slay a god?
Thinking this, his gaze fell on the Materialistic Iron Fist, the first Faith-level skill appearing, seemingly above divine skills.
From the introduction, it seems to have a high ceiling, but the floor is just as terrifyingly low.
He silently invoked the skill, punched, couldn’t even break a stone.
At this mont, he felt sowhat at a loss, having fused Divine Hand, only to get a seemingly useless early-stage skill.
"Great Resentnt Species, study it, let the light of materialism shine into the Extre Evil Pure Land."
Li Xiaobai commanded the Great Resentnt Species with a thought.
The Great Resentnt Species obeyed unconditionally, and just as they learned the Materialistic Iron Fist, each of their bodies started to shake violently.
Their cultivation level from life dispersed entirely at that mont, their Dantian destroyed, the last trace of energy dissipating into the world.
All Great Resentnt Species lost their cultivation levels, leaving only bodies tempered by the Lake of Resentful Spirits.
Li Xiaobai was stunned; only then did he realize that learning the Materialistic Iron Fist required abandoning all cultivation.
"This damn thing is truly materialistic, not allowing a speck of mystical stuff to remain."
"This ans to pass down the fist, only mortals can practice it."
"But if thinking inversely, what would happen if a deity practiced this fist? Would their cultivation level also get instantly wiped out?"
Li Xiaobai pondered, nodding repeatedly, feeling there was potential here.
Normally, it would be about widely accepting disciples, accumulating over ti, but with proper manipulation, this fist could beco a poison against the gods, whoever practices it loses their cultivation level, then wouldn’t they be at his rcy?
He threw another punch, now having ten thousand Great Resentnt Species believers, the power of the Materialistic Iron Fist surged, instantly pulverizing a giant rock.
There was power, but not as impressive as imagined.
"Is there sothing I haven’t figured out yet?"
"This power isn’t enough to contend with Saint King Realm cultivators."
Li Xiaobai frowned slightly, the System panel didn’t provide enough information on the fist technique; many things needed to be discovered independently.
520, having heard the commotion, ca over and asked: "Did you advance to the Saint King Realm? Why is there no phenonon?"
Li Xiaobai nodded: "Simple and straightforward, into the Saint King; I’m invincible. I’ll make those little pests co and never return!"
looked at the shattered stone on the ground, unsure of his thoughts.
The two returned to Gu Yue’s side, with the chess ga nearing its end.
Li Xiaobai asked: "What’s the situation?"
Gu Yue: "It’s a draw. The opponents are about to attack; prepare yourself."
Saying this, he placed a piece, causing the last chessboard to vanish and the ga to end.
Coming with it was a violent aura, surging forth; nearly a dozen Saint King Realm masters appeared in no ti, faces fierce, intent to kill.
"Finally found you, die by the hands of this deity!"
Thunder roared, long-suppressed anger unleashing, lightning exploded, flas soared, even the sky roared with rage, the entire sky turning to the color of thunder fire, devouring everything.
"Visualized Item [Thunderstorm]!"
A tiny speck of thunder light gathered before the Floating Island, growing brighter and brighter, dazzling as it compressed to the extre; once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Xiaobai sneered, instead of retreating, advanced, reaching out to grasp that speck of lightning.
"Materialistic Iron Fist!"
