The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

At the very center of the chessboard, the previously illusory phantom of the evil mind has now materialized!

That sinister smile and chilling gaze were frozen on the translucent body, as if solidified into a tangible evil power, sending chills down one's spine.

The Bull Demon King stared intently at the materialized evil demon with his demonic eyes, his gaze flashing with vigilance and determination.

"Now's the time to strike!"

The Bull Demon King spoke hastily, his voice carrying an unquestionable command.

He knew that in the face of such a powerful enemy, any hesitation could have fatal consequences.

At this moment, there is no master, no elder brother, everyone is focused on slaying this evil inner demon before them!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun obeyed the Bull Demon King's instructions without hesitation, instantly concentrating all their strength into the swords in their hands.

Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword was blazing with lightning, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, heading straight for the Evil Chess Heart Demon;

Qingyun's jade sword gleamed with azure light, like the first ray of dawn, piercing the materialized inner demon with unparalleled sharpness.

The two sword energies intertwined, like two dragons emerging from the sea, and slammed into the materialized body of the Evil Heart Demon.

Shockingly, this seemingly invincible attack actually caused real damage to the evil inner demon!

A ripple spread across the materialized body of the inner demon, like water being cleaved by a sharp blade, revealing a brief crack, and a painful roar escaped from its twisted mouth.

However, just as everyone was overjoyed, a powerful demonic force suddenly erupted around the Evil Chess Demon. That force swept across the entire chessboard space like a hurricane, causing the air to tremble.

The chessboard, which had just been broken and shattered by Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun, was instantly restored to its original state under the influence of that demonic power, and the cracks disappeared without a trace.

The figure of the evil demon gradually faded under the baptism of demonic power, returning to an invincible illusory state.

His sinister laughter echoed across the chessboard, seemingly tinged with mockery and smugness.

"Hehe, you actually passed the first test of my chessboard. If it weren't for the guidance of the Bull Demon King, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to harm me in the slightest."

Don't get too cocky!

The Bull Demon King roared, his injuries not yet fully healed, but his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit as he fearlessly faced the illusory evil inner demon.

"Even if you have a thousand transformations, we will still defeat you completely!"

"That's right!"

Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun echoed in unison, their swords once again gathering immense power. Their eyes met, and their tacit understanding and determination formed an invisible bond that tightly connected the three of them.

"For our brothers, and to break this deadlock, we will never back down!"

Qingyun's words were resounding, and the azure light on the jade sword shone even brighter, as if it were alive and moving across the blade.

"Evil Demon of the Heart, your invincible illusion will be shattered by us today!"

Jiang Chuan gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly, and the lightning under his control fluctuated violently, like a wild horse about to break free, poised to pounce.

"Come on, let us see your true strength!"

The Bull Demon King let out a low roar, his demonic power surging, as if he had transformed into a mighty war god, standing proudly on the chessboard.

Perhaps the Bull Demon King was somewhat wary of the Evil Heart Demon before, but now, with Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun by his side, he seems to have boundless confidence.

Amidst the interplay of demonic power and sword light, the three figures stood like three insurmountable mountains before the evil demon.

"Hmph, since you're so persistent, let me see what you're really capable of!"

The evil demon snorted coldly, its illusory figure rippled slightly in the air, as if brewing an even more terrifying attack.

"bring it on!"

Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King spoke in unison, their voices echoing across the chessboard like battle horns.

At the very center of the chessboard, the figure of the Evil Game Demon became increasingly elusive as his demonic power surged, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, three phantom war eagles appeared out of thin air on the chessboard.

They each occupied a corner, flapping their wings and howling, but did not move an inch. Their sharp eyes and shrill cries seemed to be provoking Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King.

"What the hell is this?"

Qingyun gripped the jade sword tightly, the azure light on the blade flashing along with his eyes, clearly puzzled by the sudden appearance of the war eagle before him.

"Never mind all that, let's test their depth first!"

Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword was already poised to strike, lightning crackling in his hand, ready to meet any unknown challenge.

The Bull Demon King calmly observed the war eagles, his demonic eyes gleaming with wisdom and decisiveness: "These war eagles appear motionless, but in reality, they are accumulating power."

"Be careful, they are not as simple as they seem."

Before he finished speaking, the three war eagles suddenly let out a ferocious cry, and spiritual energy waves surged out like a tidal wave, rushing straight towards Jiang Chuan and his companions.

However, to everyone's surprise, the three of them easily blocked this attack.

Whether it was Jiang Chuan's lightning shield, Qing Yun's azure barrier, or even the protective shield formed by the Bull Demon King with his demonic power, all of them easily neutralized the War Eagle's attack.

"This……"

Qingyun stared at his hands in disbelief. "How could our defenses so easily withstand these spiritual energy waves?"

"Yes, the attack power of this war eagle is far too weak."

Jiang Chuan was equally puzzled, but he did not loosen his grip on the sword, watching the war eagle warily as it gradually calmed down.

The Bull Demon King frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Something's not right. Although this spiritual energy wave seems fierce, the power within it hasn't reached expectations."

"Could it be..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, his gaze instantly locking onto the war eagles.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun also noticed something was wrong.

The war eagles that were originally stationary were actually undergoing a subtle change in size.

Originally no bigger than a human head, they are now expanding at a visible rate, more than doubling in size in just a few breaths.

"not good!"

The Bull Demon King let out a low shout, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"These war eagles do not use direct attacks; they release spiritual energy waves by screaming, thereby absorbing energy from the surrounding environment to accelerate their own growth!"

"In other words, if we continue to let them grow like this, their combat power will skyrocket!"

Qingyun's expression changed, and the jade sword in his hand was already pointed at the three war eagles.

"We must get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Jiang Chuan also looked solemn, with lightning dancing wildly on the sword, as if urging him to attack immediately.

The Bull Demon King nodded in agreement.

"That's right, we can't wait any longer."

"Boss, Big Brother, you two take care of two war eagles each, and I'll hold off the remaining one. We must kill it before it fully matures!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun spoke in unison, and then the three of them quickly dispersed, each aiming at their target, their swords pointing, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Evil Heart Demon, do you think a mere Phantom Warhawk can stop us?"

Jiang Chuan raised the Dragon Roar Sword high, and lightning bolts shot into the sky like dragons, pointing directly at the war eagle that was growing wildly ahead.

"To break this deadlock, for our brothers, nothing can stop us!"

He brandished his Azure Jade Sword, its azure light like a rainbow, and thrust it straight at another war eagle.

"The Bull Demon King is here! Who dares to stop me!"

The Bull Demon King roared, his demonic power surging and forming a thick barrier that forcefully blocked the spiritual energy wave from the third war eagle.

At the same time, the iron rod in his hand was poised to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

"Come on, let us see your true strength!" Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun shouted in unison, their swords flashing and their momentum soaring as they pressed towards the rapidly growing Phantom Spirit War Eagle.

"Hmph, ignorant humans, to be honest, you're quite interesting."

"Let me show you what true despair is!"

The evil demon's cold laughter echoed in the chessboard space, its illusory figure appearing and disappearing amidst the surge of demonic power, as if secretly manipulating everything.

"Despair? You'll have to get past us first!"

The Bull Demon King responded with a cold snort. Amidst the interplay of sword light and demonic power, the three figures stood like three unshakeable mountains, defying the threats of the War Eagle and the Evil Heart Demon.

"bring it on!"

Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King spoke in unison, their voices resonating across the chessboard space like battle horns, echoing through the heavens.

"Wow—!"

The three war eagles let out another deafening cry, and a burst of spiritual energy erupted, rushing straight towards Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King.

However, this time, they no longer adopted a passive defense but chose to take the initiative.

The storm of sword light and demonic power clashed directly at the raging phantom war eagles.

We are determined to wipe them out completely before they fully mature!

Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun flashed forward, their sword energy like dragons, rushing straight towards their respective targets.

The Azure Jade Sword transformed into a streak of emerald light. Amidst the surging sword energy, the azure light rolled like ocean waves, carrying boundless vitality, heading straight for the war eagle on the left.

Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword shone with lightning-like light, the lightning leaping like a dragon, instantly tearing through the air to form a lightning-streaked sword net that pierced straight at the war eagle on the right.

"Suffer to death!"

The Azure Cloud Sword's momentum was like a rainbow, and the Azure Jade Sword instantly pierced through the spiritual energy waves surrounding the war eagle, striking straight at its core.

The war eagle let out a mournful cry, its massive body trying to dodge the sword strike, but the Azure Cloud Sword's momentum was already set, the sword light wrapping around it like silk, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the lock of the sword tip.

"Thunder Shatters the Nine Heavens!"

Jiang Chuan roared, and the Dragon Roar Sword drew a dazzling trajectory in the air. The power of lightning gathered at the tip of the sword, instantly transforming into a thick pillar of lightning that shot straight toward the war eagle on the right.

Wherever the lightning bolt passed, the air distorted and space seemed to be torn apart. Although the war eagle tried its best to resist, it was instantly pierced by the lightning bolt, and its body trembled incessantly in the lightning.

Facing the war eagle in the middle, the Bull Demon King wielded his Iron Cudgel like the wind, his demonic power surging around him, forming an invisible barrier that forcefully deflected the war eagle's spiritual energy waves back.

His eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Break!"

The iron rod, like a giant python emerging from its cave, slammed down on the war eagle with overwhelming force.

"Wow—!"

The three war eagles cried out in agony as their bodies began to crumble under the impact of sword light, lightning, and staff shadows.

The energy that they had been frantically absorbing instantly backfired, causing them to shrink drastically and eventually dissipate into wisps of spiritual energy.

However, just as Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King were about to catch their breath...

The evil demon's cold laughter rang out again: "Foolish humans, do you think you've won just like that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chessboard space suddenly trembled violently.

The wreckage of the vanished war eagle transformed into countless fragments of spiritual energy, which floated in the air like stars.

They slowly coalesced into three enormous spheres of light, which hovered above Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King, respectively.

"This is……"

Qingyun looked up at the floating sphere of light, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"not good!"

The Bull Demon King's expression changed drastically. He sensed the terrifying power contained within the sphere of light, which was even stronger than the previous Phantom Warhawk.

"Do you think that destroying the Phantom Warhawk will stop me from absorbing energy?"

The voice of the evil demon echoed in the air, filled with endless mockery, "I'm telling you, this is just the beginning!"

"Boss, Big Brother, watch out!"

As the Bull Demon King gave the warning, he swept out his Iron Cudgel, attempting to shatter the ball of light above his head.

However, the ball of light seemed to have a self-protection mechanism; when the stick touched it, it was deflected and failed to cause any damage.

"This is how to do?"

Qingyun stared at the ball of light above his head, his sword tip trembling, clearly somewhat flustered.

Jiang Chuan's gaze was firm, and lightning danced on the sword: "Don't panic, there must be a way to break this."

"If the three of us join forces, we can definitely overcome this predicament!"

"well said!"

The Bull Demon King nodded in agreement, looking at Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun, "As long as we are united, nothing can defeat us!"

"Yes, we're brothers!"

Qingyun gripped the jade sword tightly, its azure light flashing. He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the orb of light above him. "No matter what difficulties lie ahead, we must face them together and overcome them together!"

"To break this deadlock, we will never give up!"

Jiang Chuan raised the Dragon Roar Sword high, and lightning bolts shot into the sky like dragons. The three of them were of one mind and intertwined their beliefs, forming an invisible force that surged within the chessboard space.

"Come on, you evil demon, let me show you our true strength!"

The Bull Demon King roared, his demonic power surging, and the Iron Cudgel spun in his hand, stirring the air like a whirlwind.

"We've arrived!"

Jiang Chuan and Qing Yun responded simultaneously, their sword light and lightning merging to form a dazzling beam of light that shot straight toward their respective orbs of light.

"For our brothers, and to break this deadlock, we will never back down!"

Qingyun's voice echoed in the air, and the azure light on the jade sword shone even brighter, as if it were alive and moving across the blade.

"Evil Demon of the Heart, your invincible illusion will be shattered by us today!"

Jiang Chuan gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly, and the lightning under his control fluctuated violently, like a wild horse about to break free, poised to pounce.

"bring it on!"

The Bull Demon King let out a low roar, his demonic power surging, as if he had transformed into a mighty war god, standing proudly on the chessboard.

Amidst the interplay of demonic power and sword light, the three figures stood like three insurmountable mountains before the evil demon.

"Very well, you two, Eagle and Bull, let me see what you're really capable of!"

The evil demon snorted coldly, its illusory figure rippled slightly in the air, as if brewing an even more terrifying attack.

In an instant, demonic energy surged and churned within the chessboard space, as if stirred by an invisible force, forming countless vortexes that spun wildly.

The war eagle, which had just been destroyed by Jiang Chuan, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King, reappeared on the chessboard in a completely new form.

They are no longer phantoms, but entities composed of countless fragments of spiritual energy, yet they are more ferocious and threatening.

The black pieces were no longer silent, as if awakened by some evil force.

They detached themselves from the chessboard surface and floated in mid-air, surrounded by black mist, and began to rage like living creatures.

They collided and merged, the black energy intertwining to form hideous faces that let out sharp roars and pounced madly towards Jiang Chuan and his companions.

At that moment, a blood-red beam of light suddenly appeared from the center of the chessboard, like the gates of hell opening, releasing a suffocating evil aura.

Within the pillar of light, the figure of the white tiger, which had been defeated by Jiang Chuan and the others, gradually became clear. Its eyes were crimson, and its body was surrounded by blazing blood flames.

Compared to its previous form, the White Tiger was now much larger and possessed a more terrifying aura, as if it had completely merged with the power of the Evil Demon. (End of Chapter)
