Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

On the seventh floor of the Cosmic Bridge, Lin Ye was caught in a difficult battle.

“Tsk tsk tsk… Lin Ye really deserves to be the number one in this year’s Peak Genius Competition!!”

"Not only is his strength so strong, but his understanding of several fundamental laws has even surpassed 99% of the realm masters!!"

Retracting his gaze from the light curtain, the Nine Swords Master couldn't help but sigh, and a little bit of spirit rippled in his old eyes:

"From the current situation, Lin Ye is in a fierce battle with the gatekeeper, but he is actually accumulating victory advantages bit by bit."

"I didn't expect that Lin Ye, at such a young age, would not be affected at all by such a powerful mentalist and illusionist, and his fighting and body movements are still as swift as ever!"

"I really don't know where this kid came from."

Hearing this, Venerable Di Yu nodded slightly.

His peach blossom eyes were fixed on Lin Ye and the other man who were fighting fiercely in the light curtain without blinking, and his face was full of energy.

With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see that Lin Ye had the upper hand.

Although the advantages are not very obvious, they are accumulating little by little.

“Looking back at the tens of thousands of peak genius battles in the past, I’m afraid that there are only a few who can compare with Lin Ye at this level… Even the city lord’s direct disciple Ke Di, I’m afraid it’s difficult to compare with Lin Ye in terms of talent and understanding of the laws.”

The last words of the Nine Swords Master were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the powerful men hard, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

"Lin Ye... is comparable to Ke Di?"

"No! Lin Ye is even more powerful than Ke Di!!"

For a moment, these immortal kings looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Even King Zhenyan and King Black Mist were deeply shocked.

"Hahaha... After all, you are my disciple!" Upon hearing the words of these old friends, the expression on Venerable Fenchen's face gradually became exaggerated.

What is the happiest thing in the world!?

Of course, it was because his disciples were praised by others.

"you……"

Seeing that his old friend had said all the nice things, King Qianwu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He could only look at the light screen and muttered, "This boy has extraordinary talent, he is worthy of being a young talent cultivated by our Qianwu Universe Country!!"

"It's a pity... he is not the Qilin child of my Qianwu royal family."

"If I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely become a high-ranking official in my Qianwu Universe!"

Everyone: "..."

Even Venerable Fenchen rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

After this little episode, everyone's attention was once again attracted by the battle light curtain.

After all, the achievement of passing the Tongtian Bridge for the first time can determine a person's talent and strength.

the reason is simple.

Ninety-nine percent of the powerful beings who can stand here have emerged from the battle of top geniuses, and are naturally very familiar with Tongtian Bridge.

It was precisely because they had also experienced the Tongtian Bridge and knew how difficult it was... that they began to have increasing expectations for Lin Ye.

On the Tongtian Bridge, the space suddenly became dark.

For a moment, everyone saw something as if an endless space appeared before their eyes.

The flickering starlight swallowed up everything around it.

There was only an illusionist guard in dark golden armor standing firmly in mid-air, looking down at Lin Ye.

This time, he stood proudly like the moon god surrounded by stars.

"This is a combination of space and light... the starry sky! Very powerful."

The Black Mist King took in the battle scene on the seventh floor, and couldn't help but whisper softly through his red lips.

"This field alone is enough to defeat nine hundred and ninety of these one thousand geniuses."

"Even Bolan...probably can't last more than a hundred breaths in this area."

"..."

The Black Mist King, who had a human body and a snake tail, stood proudly among the crowd like a black snow lotus, expressing his own opinions.

"But facing Lin Ye, this move doesn't seem to have much effect, you see!"

Next to him, King Zhen Yan was also staring intently at the large light screen, afraid of missing even a single detail.

At the same time, the Apeman King Wudi secretly sighed in his heart: "This Lin Ye has made such achievements in several major origin laws, he can be said to be a natural talent!!"

"But... why is he so weak in the law of the origin of gold?!?? It's really confusing."

With a head full of doubts, King Zhenyan continued to stare at the light curtain with wide eyes.

With him were many sect leaders from Chaos City.

All of them are powerful kings!
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

In an instant, black energy gathered from nowhere and attacked Lin Ye indiscriminately.

All the starlight turned into extremely bright sword beams and shot towards Lin Ye.

In the starry sky, all starlight can be used as a knife, and it goes straight to the target, and it cannot be resisted or avoided.

The only way is to take it head on!

"Hoo ho ho!!!"

Crimson flames burned on Lin Ye's body, and the sword in his hand was also covered by crimson light.

The endless flow of sword intent and energy seemed to be endless, supporting an 'inconspicuous' scarlet realm around him - "Nirvana Realm!!"

This realm, which Lin Ye had just comprehended after he was promoted to the planetary level and survived a desperate situation in the trial ground, burst out with unprecedented power at this moment.

And mixed in it, not only is there his profound understanding of the fundamental laws of fire, but also his understanding of the fundamental laws of space, water, wind and thunder.

“Kill!” A ferocious look appeared on Lin Ye’s face, and he swung the knife violently.

With a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, flames within a thousand feet radius around Lin Ye exploded.

The surging might of the sword shattered all the starlight that tried to attack Lin Ye, turning it into residual light all over the sky, dripping down.

But what followed was that these residual lights turned into more fierce and violent attacks, stabbing directly towards Lin Ye.

These thousands of knife shadows were enough to cut Lin Ye into the tiniest pieces.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this time, Lin Ye’s counterattack was launched again, and these knife shadows were destroyed again before they got close... so thoroughly.

But the result this time is different from the past.

Two "buzzing" sounds were heard, and waves of invisible and void mental power instantly reached Lin Ye, trying to invade his mind.

"Come on!" Feeling this fierce mental power fluctuation like a steel thorn, Lin Ye directly released his sea of ​​consciousness and let it go straight in.

Under the influence of mental illusion, Lin Ye could only quickly shrink his territory for defense.

Because this time, he wanted to feel what it felt like to be attacked by a mental illusion.

After all, the last time he faced the phantom demon Galaxi, Lin Ye directly resisted his attack and then killed him instantly.

Then, the gatekeeper wearing a dark golden mask waved his hand gently.

The dazzling halos behind him carried terrifying power and slashed towards Lin Ye in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the starlight in the sky once again turned into a fierce attack and attacked Lin Ye.

On the Tongtian Bridge on the seventh floor.

The gatekeeper tried his best to combine field attacks, mental illusions and telekinetic weapons, unleashing terrifying power, hoping to achieve success in one fell swoop!
“Zizzizi!!!”

“Pit, tut, tut!!”

"Boom boom boom!!"

"..."

Wave after wave of brilliant light burst out above the Nirvana realm, one after another.

This scene was like a volcano erupting in a doomsday disaster, it was continuous, majestic and spectacular, and daunting.

The shining scarlet light becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger force, and together with the blood-flame divine weapon and shield, it is able to resist the fierce attack from the gatekeeper.

Almost at the same time, invisible mental power quietly penetrated into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Perhaps it was due to Lin Ye's subconscious control.

The small tower that should have been flashing with crimson light was completely hidden, dim and without any light, as if it had disappeared without any existence being able to detect its trace.

This spiritual power from the gatekeeper was like a floodgate opening, rushing straight in and wreaking havoc in Lin Ye's sea of ​​consciousness.

Without the protection of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Dark World, Lin Ye's sea of ​​consciousness was suddenly filled with endless storms.

This void of thought force invaded Lin Ye's sea of ​​consciousness, and was about to lead the latter into a deeper level of "mental illusion".

……

Lin Ye, who was fighting fiercely on Tongtian Bridge the moment before, was caught in another scene the next moment.

Dusk is falling and the cold moon is silent.

A young man in night clothes was running alone on an abandoned highway in a hurry.

The sound of the wind was tinged with a hint of blood, and the roars of strange beasts coming from afar made people's hearts flutter.

From a distance, there were dead grass and jagged rocks on both sides of the highway.

The corpses and dark red bloodstains that can be seen everywhere show that this place is always full of danger.

Not far ahead, there were bursts of excited roars from monsters.

Look up.

A group of tiger mastiffs as big as calves were running wildly, seemingly chasing something.

Along the way, dark red bloodstains and scattered limbs and arms came into view, instantly stinging Lin Ye's nerves.

This scene is so familiar!

"Xiaoye, Yue'er... run quickly and don't look back. Your mother and I will lead these beasts away!!!"

An anxious male voice was heard, and Lin Ye was suddenly struck by lightning.

He is the father of this life!

"No matter what happens, don't look back, just keep running! Run forward!"

The other female voice sounded extremely weak but still sonorous and powerful.

After decades, Lin Ye was still familiar with this voice.

“Dad…Mom!?”

At this moment, Lin Ye’s heart was filled with shocking emotions.

He returned to the period deepest in his memory.

The beginning of the catastrophe!!
That dark era filled with blood, darkness, madness, turmoil, despair...all kinds of negative emotions intertwined like shadows!!
“Mom and Dad!!!”

When Lin Ye arrived, his parents had already fallen to the tiger mastiff's sharp teeth and lost their lives.

He still couldn't reverse this reality, even in the illusion.

A nameless anger suddenly surged in my heart.

"You... all deserve to die!"

At this moment, Lin Ye transformed into a rampaging demon, releasing all his terrifying power.

Under his control, strands of mental power turned into flying blades, cutting mercilessly.

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

The raging blade light shattered the group of tiger mastiffs into pieces of meat, and a blood rain suddenly fell within a few dozen meters around.

The earth was also swept by this fierce sword power, and was branded with wide and deep sword marks one after another.

After a while.

The clouds are light and the wind is gentle, everything returns to peace.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!!"

Lin Ye moved and came to the two children.

He looked at the bright eyes on those two young faces and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

At this moment, Lin Ye showed a faint smile on his face: "Mom and Dad are gone... Now I will protect you."

"Big brother, what's your name!!" the younger girl asked in a baby voice.

"My name... is the same as your brother's, Lin Ye!!"

After saying that, Lin Ye hugged the two children in his arms.

The moment he came into contact with his childhood self, something strange happened.

In an instant, time and space changed.

The illusion shattered into pieces like a mirrored glass.
Then all the surrounding scenes returned to nothingness.

Lin Ye stood on the Tongtian Bridge again.

The surrounding Nirvana realm revealed a faint light amid the endless attacks, and it seemed as if it would collapse in the next moment.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for letting me meet my parents!!"

Lin Ye looked at the masked guardian who looked down at him like a god, his eyes became clearer and colder, and he whispered, "Then... I will send you away now!!!"

In an instant, Lin Ye's might exploded, and the entire Tongtian Bridge trembled slightly under this pressure.

On the other hand, the gatekeeper on the opposite side was like a small boat floating on the vast ocean under this pressure.

It could capsize at any time.

"Then please...die now!!"

Lin Ye spat out these words coldly, and then his figure disappeared on the Tongtian Bridge.

For a moment, the light of the Nirvana realm shone to its extreme.

Soon, Lin Ye defeated the gatekeeper of the first-level Tongtian Bridge.

After the victory, Lin Ye did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

He stood there with an indifferent expression, two long tear marks silently sliding down his slightly dim and gloomy eyes.

……

"Hey~ Why is this kid crying for no reason?"

Venerable Di Yu exclaimed in surprise, then looked to Venerable Fen Chen on his left and said, "Old Huo, do you know what happened to Lin Ye?"

"..." Upon hearing this, the latter just shook his head slightly and sighed, "Perhaps my good disciple has thought of some bad memories."

Venerable Fenchen himself was very confused.

In his mind, Lin Ye has always been a very strong and brave disciple with a wild imagination and the courage to act and take responsibility.

But today, Lin Ye refreshed his understanding.

"It turns out that my disciple is also a good kid who values ​​friendship and loyalty!!"

Venerable Fenchen whispered softly, with a hint of relief in the corner of his eyes that was hard to conceal.

……

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

After passing the seventh level of the Universe Bridge, Lin Ye seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

The battle sword and the blood-flame divine weapon were thrown casually not far away.

At this moment, he barely had the strength to move his fingers.

The gatekeeper of the seventh-level psychic and illusionist was much more powerful than he had imagined.

Even if Lin Ye tried his best and unleashed all his mental power, understanding of the laws and warrior energy, he could only win slightly.

"You can now enter the eighth floor of Tongtian Bridge!"

"I won't go to the eighth floor for now. These few battles have given me a lot of insights, and I need to go back and digest them."

Lin Ye used all his strength to shake his head slightly and murmured in a low voice.

However, the square where many immortals and even venerables gathered was completely silent.

All eyes were focused on the young figure lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, covered in blood.

"Let's go back to the manor in the original area."

Lin Ye's mind moved, and he disappeared directly into the light curtain.

Everyone: "..."
