Sword Emperor

However, Sun Bing and Lang Xuan didn't act rashly. After all, they had consumed too much of their energy in the formation. After a brief moment of pleasant surprise, a strong sense of fatigue surged into their hearts.    

Besides, they had already arrived at the main entrance of the ancient palace. Even if Xu Yunkun obtained some treasure, they could still stop him from leaving as soon as he came out of the palace. Therefore, they didn't need to worry too much.    

Because of this, the two of them didn't hesitate at all. They immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and started recuperating.    

As for Sun Bing, he used this time to carefully organize his gains from the formation. It had to be said that he had successfully broken through a Monarch Array. Although Sun Bing seemed to be in a very sorry state right now, his eyes were shining with a bright light.    

Most importantly, it seemed like his spirit had undergone a certain transformation. New insights were being presented in his mind at every moment.    

At this moment, in Sun Bing's eyes, the many sword formations that he had created in the past could be said to be extremely crude. But now, the power of these sword formations could be increased by at least 50%.    

Most importantly, Sun Bing's understanding of Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array had become deeper and deeper. The power he could exert now was even greater. It could be said that just by breaking this sword formation, Sun Bing's strength had increased by at least 30%.    

If it was the original Sun Bing, he would have to rely on the sword to break space and time in order to fight against this monstrous genius. However, he had enough confidence now. Even if he didn't use this technique, he would still be able to fight against this monstrous genius.    

After a long time, Sun Bing slowly opened his eyes. A thick battle intent burst out from his eyes, and the surrounding space began to distort.    

"Brother Sun, it seems like you have gained a lot this time."    

Lang Xuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Sun Bing's reaction.    

A smile also emerged on Sun Bing's face when he heard this, but he didn't deny it. He just nodded slowly and said in a soft voice, "I have gained a little, but I hope to find that Xu Yunkun as soon as possible. I want to see how strong I am right now."    

As soon as he finished speaking, the momentum on Sun Bing's body completely erupted. Although it looked no different from before, Lang Xuan clearly discovered that there were countless symbols flickering around Sun Bing's body, and they were profound to the extreme.    

For a moment, Lang Xuan was incomparably shocked in his heart. It was obvious that Sun Bing's harvest this time was even greater than he had imagined.    

However, there wasn't any dissatisfaction in Lang Xuan's heart. In fact, his face was filled with joy. After all, the stronger Sun Bing was, the more beneficial it would be to him.    

The two men who had fully recovered looked at the ancient palace in front of them with sparkling eyes. Since the palace was deployed to the outside world, it could be considered as the residence of a Heavenly Sovereign expert. They wondered what kind of fortune was hidden in this palace.    

Immediately, the two of them took a step forward without any hesitation. In an instant, they had entered the ancient gate.    

"Although Xu Yunkun entered this place before us, we must not be careless. It's very likely that there are still restrictions and formations all over the place. After all, his innate ability is a little strange."    

After entering this ancient palace, Sun Bing's facial expression turned serious. He couldn't help but remind them in a low voice.    

"Of course."    

Lang Xuan didn't retort. After all, he had experienced this before. Even a Monarch Array could escape from it. It was imaginable that ordinary seals wouldn't be able to stop him.    

However, what puzzled the two of them was that they didn't see any seals or formations along the way. They could even clearly see the marks left by Xu Yunkun on the ground, as if he wasn't hiding anything at all.    

Seeing this, Sun Bing and Lang Xuan exchanged a glance. Their hearts were filled with doubt, but their speed was getting faster and faster. In an instant, they had traveled an unknown number of miles.    

Looking around, a spacious hall appeared in their line of sight. Monoliths of black and white colored rocks were sitting in the hall, looking very strange.    

However, Sun Bing could tell at a glance that this place was more like a chessboard than a hall. The black and white rocks were pieces.    

"Could this be the place where a Monarch Stage warrior and his friends play chess?"    

In an instant, this thought simultaneously emerged in the hearts of the two of them.    

Because they suspected that there might be another mystery behind this place, Sun Bing and Lang Xuan couldn't help but carefully scan their surroundings. However, apart from the huge chess pieces and the wide chessboard, there were no other secrets.    

For a moment, the two of them felt extremely disappointed. If it was just a place like this, it wouldn't be worth exploring.    

Immediately, Sun Bing and Lang Xuan wanted to cross the chessboard and leave this place through the gate on the other side.    

However, just as the two of them entered the chessboard, the originally calm chessboard suddenly changed. Inscriptions appeared one after another. It was as if they had arrived at a vast starry sky. The place that was close to them now seemed like a natural chasm.    

The chess pieces were like stars in the vast starry sky. They emitted an incomparably terrifying pressure and directly fell towards the two of them. A strong sense of crisis emerged in their hearts.    

Facing such danger, the two of them retreated simultaneously. However, after they left the chessboard, everything that had happened was completely gone. It was as if everything that had happened earlier had been an illusion.    

However, Sun Bing's expression turned incomparably solemn in an instant. He looked at the chessboard and chess pieces in front of him, no longer looking down on them. In the end, he landed on the high platform on one side of the chessboard and said in a soft voice.    

"Since you are stopping me from leaving, I would like to see what kind of secrets are hidden within."    

Once he finished speaking, he looked around and saw the entire chessboard in his line of sight. The black and white twins were quietly sitting on the chessboard, as if nothing had happened.    

However, after a closer look, Sun Bing could clearly feel that the chessboard was extremely vast, like a boundless starry sky. Stars were falling down one after another, and each of them was so ingenious. They were connected to each other, forming a shocking grand formation.    

Rather than saying that this was a chess game, it was more like a battle between formations. The chessboard was the starry sky, while the chess pieces were the stars. The chessboard was the battlefield between the two of them.
