Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1830

Capítulo 1830: Chapter 1831: The Chess Player

The challenge posed by questioning above, Su Chengyu remained calm, which puzzled She Li greatly.

It naturally did not know if the owner of the other voice was truly a Fairy Monarch, but regardless of authenticity, it understood that the presence, which did not reveal its true form, was something far beyond their current level.

Seeing Su Chengyu maintain such composure in front of this entity, for the first time She Li truly felt that it and the human before it were not on the same level of existence.

“Don’t you already have the answer to your question in your heart?”

Su Chengyu blinked without replying. Even though the other was merely a Divine Sense, Su Chengyu did not wish for his idle words to reveal a fraction of his inner thoughts.

“No need for that, I am not gifted enough to perceive your inner thoughts from thousands of miles away.”

“So?”

“You called me forth yourself, confirming that I won’t make a move against you, right?”

“I am asking you what your ultimate request is.”

Su Chengyu’s eyes were sharp, pinpointing the flaw in Immortal Monarch Tianshang’s words.

Immortal Monarch Tianshang wouldn’t make a move against him, Su Chengyu was certain.

If this aloof Fairy Monarch merely wanted him dead, he wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to pass on his teachings originally.

But having already harbored doubts about the motives of these lofty Immortals, after She Li confirmed the Immortal World’s disdain for humans, Su Chengyu found it hard not to suspect Immortal Monarch Tianshang’s true purpose.

“Human, you overthink. Honestly, if you were not wielding the Wasteland Battle Halberd, you wouldn’t even warrant a glance from me now.”

Su Chengyu remained silent, merely sinking his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness, focusing on the bond with the Wasteland Battle Halberd.

Despite not having recovered much mana at present, Su Chengyu could instantly sever the bond with the Wasteland Battle Halberd if he wished, and once this bond is severed…

“Are you threatening me?”

The tone of Immortal Monarch Tianshang suddenly dropped to icy cold, and the ground around Su Chengyu instantly crystallized into frost.

Without Spiritual Energy in the surroundings, merely a few words were enough to alter the environmental conditions, a method that left She Li in shock.

“Immortal Monarch, this is not a threat, merely a choice. You and I are connected through the Wasteland Battle Halberd, a pity, but should the true intention remain unknown, I can only sever my connection with this Immortal Artifact, and you also…”

“Foolish! Do you think severing the connection will prevent me from locking onto this realm?”

“But what if after severing the connection, I discard the Wasteland Battle Halberd here?”

“What did you say?”

The tone of Immortal Monarch Tianshang changed noticeably again, and it was this change that confirmed for Su Chengyu that he had identified the crucial issue.

Su Chengyu looked up at the Wasteland Battle Halberd, confidently stating, “The Immortal Monarch entered the game through the Wasteland Battle Halberd, relying on this Immortal Artifact left in the Mortal World to participate directly in this celestial chess game, right? And once I leave the Wasteland Battle Halberd completely behind in this realm, wouldn’t the Immortal Monarch be forced to exit prematurely?”

“Human, do you truly believe this Immortal Monarch dares not kill you?”

Neither joy nor sorrow, the flat speech carried a strong sense of murderous intent.

“Dying with clarity is better than an ambiguous death, isn’t it? Besides, if I am dead, who else could bring it back for the Immortal Monarch?”

Su Chengyu showed a relieved smile on his face.

Having decided to face Immortal Monarch Tianshang head-on, he was prepared for the worst.

The more he traversed this realm, the more he noticed his grandfather Su Linyuan and father were actively engaging in this game.

And now, despite not qualifying to enter the game, Su Chengyu wished to learn everything about the celestial chess game as much as possible.

Silence persisted between the man and the halberd.

The Wasteland Battle Halberd did not respond, nor did Su Chengyu intend to compromise.

He was unsure to what extent the other could act, and uncertain of his survival chances if the other truly took action.

With the Heaven-Mending Stone’s precedent, Su Chengyu would not leave such a potential danger by his side.

Even with no malice from the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu had to ensure Immortal Monarch Tianshang wouldn’t use him as a medium to do harm or anything he didn’t wish to see.

Whoosh!

With the rise of several Qi Blades from the ground, Su Chengyu plainly sensed the rules between heaven and earth distorting, and in mere moments a strange space manifested around him formed by condensed Heavenly Dao Energy.

In this space, only Su Chengyu and the Wasteland Battle Halberd remained, surrounded by a potent sense of murderous intent, nearly causing the Heavenly Dao Energy within Su Chengyu to collide violently.

“If you can’t withstand this pressure, there’s no need to continue listening.”

The screen formed by Heavenly Dao Breath was not intended to target Su Chengyu, instead, it isolated them from the world completely.

Su Chengyu understood that the target of isolation was naturally not the flickering She Li nearby.

The isolated entity being guarded against by Immortal Monarch Tianshang could only be the Heavenly People, or even another chess player akin to Immortal Monarch Tianshang.

Su Chengyu forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his chest, raising his head to the Wasteland Battle Halberd, taking a deep breath.

Difficult to articulate, he could only express his resolve through his gaze.

“You guessed correctly, the Wasteland Battle Halberd is indeed my only contact with that world, and not just for me. After the last End of Dharma Tribulation, behind every remaining Immortal Artifact, there’s the shadow of a Fairy Monarch or even an Immortal Venerable. However… these remain surface appearances. Like this Wasteland Battle Halberd, even with intent to trace back the origin, ultimately it’ll only lead to me. Yet in truth, I am not all that different from you…”

“Is it the Immortal Emperor…”

“Indeed, Empress Nuwa’s emergence, the birth of humanity, changes in cultivation laws, these interconnected reactions crafted this celestial chess game. Those truly capable of playing, exclusively the Supreme Immortal Emperor.”

Though Su Chengyu had responded midway through Immortal Monarch Tianshang’s explanation, upon hearing this answer, he still found his heart difficult to calm.

“So you are aligned with Empress Nuwa?”

The moment Su Chengyu uttered these words, he heard a derisive laugh.

“I know that’s the answer you wanted, but unfortunately, I am not. Though I can’t tell you which Supreme Immortal Emperor has placed me here, one thing I can tell you: far more Supreme Immortal Emperors are concerned with this celestial chess game than you imagined.”
