Chapter 5276: The Chess Player

"Right your ancestors' right!" Xiao Fan looked coldly at Di Yingtian. "You're cold-blooded! Don't drag me into this! You hear me?!"

Hearing this, Di Yingtian was stunned for a moment, then he let out a cold laugh. "Hehehe… Xiao Fan, I really didn't expect you to say such things."

"What things? Cursing you? You should be glad my temper has improved. Otherwise, I could curse you for three days and three nights without repeating myself." Xiao Fan sneered.

"No…" Di Yingtian shook his head. "You say I'm cold-blooded, but are you not cold-blooded yourself?"

"I'm not." Xiao Fan shook his head.

"Hehehe… I don't believe you."

"Believe it or not, I can't be bothered to explain it to you." Xiao Fan sneered. "Di Yingtian, you've done quite a job. To kill me, you actually sacrificed everyone in the Heavenly Court! How domineering! Truly domineering! Those who follow you really have miserable fates; they're all going to end up without descendants. Sigh… though that's also quite good."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Lin Tuo, Yan Jun, Situ Kuang, and the other experts of the Heavenly Court darkened to the extreme.

Especially the Old Antiques whose Lifespans were withered and who had little time left—didn't their awakening this time equate to watching their own Bloodlines being severed and having no successors?!

"Di, Di Yingtian! Are… are you crazy?!" At this moment, Wu Mingyuan spoke in a low voice, staring fixedly at Di Yingtian.

Xiao Fan had seen Wu Mingyuan before. When his Clone had gone to Lingxiao Palace to cause trouble, Wu Mingyuan had been awakened and nearly died from a withered Lifespan.

This was undoubtedly the final battle for Wu Mingyuan.

In the end, before even defeating the enemy, he saw Di Yingtian sacrifice all living beings within Lingxiao Palace. Even his own Bloodline descendants had died within Lingxiao Palace.

"Wu Mingyuan! What are you saying? Are you tired of living?!" Di Yingtian looked coldly at Wu Mingyuan.

"Tired of living? My Lifespan is already withered, and I'm about to die! What do I have to fear?! Ah!" Hearing this, Wu Mingyuan was furious. "I've worked hard my whole life for the Heavenly Court! You… you actually say I'm tired of living? My children and grandchildren! They're all dead! They died at your hands!!"

"Hehehe… so what?" Di Yingtian said in a chilling voice. "On the path to achieving great dominance, how can there be no sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice! Sacrifice your ancestors!" Wu Mingyuan roared and charged toward Di Yingtian atop Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, Wu Mingyuan no longer cared about anything. Since he was about to die anyway and all his Bloodline descendants were dead, what else did he have to fear?!

"Hehehe… Wu Mingyuan, you brought this death upon yourself." Di Yingtian spoke coldly and flicked his finger.

In the next instant, a beam of light pierced through Wu Mingyuan's heart.

Simultaneously, Wu Mingyuan's body disintegrated, his remaining Lifespan withered away, his breath completely ceased, and he dissipated into dust.

"This is the fate of those who disrespect this seat…" Di Yingtian said coldly.

Hearing this, Yan Jun, Situ Kuang, and the other experts of the Heavenly Court were all disheartened.

"Heavenly Emperor, what… what are we in your eyes?!" Situ Kuang looked at Di Yingtian and roared.

"Subordinates," Di Yingtian replied coldly.

"Hehehe… Subordinates? I think you mean chess pieces," Xiao Fan sneered.

"Heh… if you put it that way, it's actually correct." Di Yingtian looked at Xiao Fan and said calmly, "The world is the board, and everyone in it is a chess piece. And I… am the player."

"And me?" Xiao Fan asked calmly.

"You? Hehehe… a disobedient chess piece trying to jump off the board. It's just a pity that it's ultimately futile." Di Yingtian shook his head.

"Hehehe… Chess piece? Player? Ridiculous." Xiao Fan shook his head dismissively. "Di Yingtian, you still don't understand your own limitations, do you? In my eyes, you are pathetic."

"Why?!"

"Simple. Because in my view, you are the chess piece. You… are not worthy of being the player." Xiao Fan said coldly.
