Chapter 1423: Connection in an Instant

At this moment, half of the Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast’s head had already emerged from the crack in the star.

The giant beast’s eyes showed a hint of fear.

It felt as if it was bound by an invisible supreme law, rendering it unable to resist under such a powerful force.

"Roar!!"

A furious roar shook the surrounding Chaotic Mist Area.

However, it only created ripples in the Protective Formation outside the Three Thousand Realms without causing any harm.

Avatar Number Two watched from the edge of the battlefield and couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s not easy. I used to be terrified of the battle fluctuations of chaotic saints, and now I can face a Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast directly."

"Master Number Two, wait a little longer. Once we all advance to Chaotic Great Saints, we’ll catch such a giant beast for you to play with like a kitten," Li Xingci said with a smile from not far away.

His Cycle of Rebirth gate was already open, dispatching all high-level combat forces while he directed them from afar.

"That’s still a long way off. Looking at your current state, it will take at least ten million years as a baseline."

"What I wish for the most now is for your main body master to return quickly," Avatar Number Two remarked while observing the entire battlefield.

"Master’s immense fortune keeps him safe; even if he gets sucked into the Primordial Chaos Zone, he won’t perish."

"When Master returns, there will surely be an incredible transformation," Li Xingci said, glancing at that unknown area with an expectant expression.

For these years, the Three Thousand Realms had been in a state of constant running around, evading battle fluctuations at the leader level or the pursuit by the Underworld Clan.

Though they had numerous backups and initial arrangements were perfect, they still felt somewhat beleaguered.

He felt that even without their Master, they should not be in such a predicament with the entire Three Thousand Realms behind them.

At this moment, half of the giant beast’s body was pulled out from the crack in the star.

A massive fishing hook firmly caught the chaotic giant beast’s mouth.

The beast struggled with all its might, as if it were a fish trying to free itself from the hook.

"Uncle Master, don’t push it too hard; let’s move this giant beast somewhere else; we can handle it!" Xu Gang said.

Just then, the original master and the Lord of the Demon Domain, accompanied by several human race elders, also appeared outside the Three Thousand Realms.

"Original Master, I feel our luck has been a bit lacking. When it’s the Hidden Spirit Sect’s turn on duty, we encounter such a seemingly weaker Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast," the Body Refinement Elder said.

"Right! On our side, if it’s not some puny creatures that could be easily crushed, then it’s something we can’t deal with and must just relocate the Three Thousand Realms," the Law Form Elder added.

At this moment, the Arrow Elder, who had been silent, transformed into the chaotic law form and took out his life-sustaining Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure bow and arrow, aiming at the giant beast.

"Don’t fight over it; it’s hard to come across a weaker Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast. I must get it to that unknown chaotic area."

"Such an effort might allow my supreme law to possibly open the Primordial Chaos Zone and fish out Big Brother Xu."

Wang Yulun, exuding the aura of supreme law, resembled a god from a higher dimension overlooking those in lower dimensions.

As the fishing rod capable of hooking the heavens lifted, the giant beast was completely pulled out from the crack in the star.

Slowly, it approached the crack.

Then, right before the assembled human race experts, the Chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast was gradually devoured by the crack.

In that instant of being swallowed, Wang Yulun forcibly expanded the entire crack.

“Big Brother Xu, where are you? We miss you so much!”

The bond was deep, like brothers yearning for their elder to return.

At that moment, Xu Fan, who was on the Chaotic Ship playing the Game of Realms with a powerful being from the Holy Hui tribe, suddenly paused.

He had sensed First Clone Number Two and Grape.

Though it was just for a fleeting moment, Xu Fan used that instant to send a flood of messages.

“Junior, how can you be distracted while playing chess?” the Holy Hui tribe’s powerful being said, clearly annoyed.

To him, losing focus during a game was the ultimate disrespect.

“My apologies, I just had a sudden insight,” Xu Fan replied, picking up a piece and transforming it into the Path of Reincarnation, placing it gently near the core of the Game of Realms board.

In an instant, the entire board shifted—the pieces previously devoured by the Holy Hui tribe’s powerful being sprang back to life.

Combined with Xu Fan’s remaining pieces, they formed a ferocious beast that swallowed the small world the Holy Hui tribe’s powerful being had meticulously crafted.

“Junior! You!!”

“I…”

The balance he had maintained, seemingly even but secretly layered with strategy, was suddenly overturned.

Before he could react or even grasp what had happened, he lost.

Losing wasn’t the issue; the real humiliation was that he couldn’t even comprehend how it had happened.

“As a formations master, I wonder if the Cycle of Rebirth’s layout meets your esteemed approval,” Xu Fan said with a faint smile.

In that moment, Xu Fan became the brightest star in the center world of the Chaotic Ship.

All the powerful beings engaged in the game turned their attention to him.

To them, the higher one’s realm, the closer their chess skills should be.

For someone at the Great Saint Realm to defeat a chaotic Great Saint-level being in the Game of Realms was like an ant toppling a giant.

A top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure materialized in the hands of the Holy Hui tribe’s powerful being.

“Junior, I lost. Let’s play again,” he said, tossing the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure to Xu Fan.

Hearing this, Xu Fan’s lips curled slightly; he knew the fish had taken the bait.

“Alright, is there a prize for this round?”

“There is, there must be.”

A Primordial Supreme Treasure Spiritual Sword backup appeared before Xu Fan.

“If you win, it’s yours.”

Seeing the Primordial Supreme Treasure Spiritual Sword embryo, Xu Fan straightened up and gestured for the first move.

“Elder, please go first.”

…

Outside the Three Thousand Realms, Avatar Number Two and Grape were still processing the messages Xu Fan had sent.

“Master Number Two must have sensed the Master’s presence!” Xu Gang exclaimed excitedly.

“The Master is currently on the Holy Hui tribe’s Chaotic Ship, traversing the Primordial Chaos Zone, and is expected to return to the sect in about 400,000 years,” Grape reported.

Hearing this, all the powerful beings of the Hidden Spirit Sect were filled with renewed energy.

Though they had grown stronger over the years, they still longed for the days when the Grand Elder was with them in the sect.

“After all this time, a little longer won’t make a difference,” Avatar Number Two said, opening his eyes.

“Grape, prepare the teleportation formation. I’ll take the lead over there.”

The Hunyuan array disk expanded to the size of a world, and a massive teleportation formation began to take shape on its surface.

“I’ll establish the sect’s foundation away from the Chaotic Mist Area. You hurry and get the teleportation formation in the Three Thousand Realms ready.”

With that, Avatar Number Two activated the teleportation formation, vanishing along with the Hunyuan array disk.

Only the bewildered members of the Hidden Spirit Sect remained.

“Grape, how has Master been lately? What’s he been up to?” Xu Yuexian asked.

“The Master is in good condition, currently playing chess on the Chaotic Ship.”

At that moment, all disciples of the Hidden Spirit Sect received a set of rules for the Game of Realms.

“As per the Master’s instructions, our focus in the coming time will be on popularizing the Game of Realms within the sect.”
