Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 38 Watching the Battle
Deep in the Snow Moon Palace, Li Yang's human self sat on a leaf of the Snow Moon Tree.

Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi have taken the Jade Dew Flower to their own rooms in the Snow Moon Palace for seclusion.

For Li Yang, this battle with the Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Lord gave him a lot of insights into the secrets of combat, and it was time to calm down.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, millions of years had passed.

On this day, Li Yang was in seclusion when he was suddenly awakened by Xiao Zi: "Master, a genius appeared in the latest genius battle. He has already passed the sixth level of the Chaos Monument in the 30th year of the initial universe! Now he is preparing to break through the seventh level!"

"Seventh level?" Li Yang instantly became alert. There has not been such a strong young man in many peak genius competitions. Hearing this news made Li Yang excited!
Li Yang didn't have time to chat with Xiao Zi, and his consciousness directly entered the virtual universe "Tongtian Bridge Plane".

Li Yang was naturally watching from the highest platform of Tongtian Bridge. On the beautiful island of the Tongtian Bridge plane below, there were many immortal kings standing.

There are many immortals from various cosmic schools here. When they heard that someone had reached the sixth floor or was trying to reach the seventh floor, they all came to watch.

Li Yang discovered that there were many familiar faces from the time when he was crowned as the Immortal King or the Venerable, as well as many Venerables under the command of Duobao Pavilion.

Of course, there are some who are just here to join in the fun.

Indeed, it has been a long, long time since a genius with such an astonishing speed of progress appeared, to be able to reach the seventh level within 30 years of the initial universe!

……

"Xiao Zi, what's the name of this little guy?" Li Yang asked.

"Master, this little guy's name is Xingchen!" Xiao Zi replied.

"Yeah," Li Yang nodded, watching the game seriously. Xiao Zi sat on Li Yang's shoulder, also looking serious.

I saw that the seventh-level bridge to heaven was in the boundless starry sky.

Xingchen was wearing a gray-black battle suit, holding a divine weapon in his hand, with a stern expression, staring at the starry sky ahead.

"I choose warrior!" Xingchen said

"Shh!"

At this time, on the opposite side of Xingchen, an opponent who also held the Yushenbing appeared!

"Young man, you are able to challenge me so quickly, your talent is limitless! Come on, I hope you can defeat me and pass this level!" said the warrior on the opposite side.

Xingchen's face was serious. For him, this level was extremely difficult!
Li Yang recalled: "The first picture of the Cosmic Chaos Monument corresponds to the first to third floors of the Tongtian Bridge, the second picture corresponds to the fourth to sixth floors of the Tongtian Bridge, and the third picture corresponds to the seventh to ninth floors of the Tongtian Bridge."

"Back then, I was in the initial universe for thirty years and passed the eighth level. I was just one step away from understanding the third diagram and passing the ninth level!"

"If this little fellow can make it through the seventh level, it means he has fully understood the first two diagrams, and has also gained some understanding of the third diagram!" Li Yang said softly to Xiao Zi, "If he can make it through this seventh level, I will accept him as a registered disciple!"

……

Soon, the battle begins!
“Boom!” The warrior from Tongtian Bridge stomped the ground and rushed towards the stars like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The two figures were like two lightning bolts, meeting in the void. "The first move of the Yu Shen Bing! Illusion Wave Axe!" In the void, the two Yu Shen Bing transformed into thousands of golden axe blades, intersecting each other. Space seemed to have turned into a lake. The power of the laws of time and space was amplified tenfold by the power of the golden axe blades!
Both of them were demonstrating their understanding of the laws of time and space.

"clang clang"

In the air, the collision of the two axes caused a deafening roar. Layer upon layer of metal collision sounds erupted, and the endless roar echoed between heaven and earth. The collision of the axes caused time and space to vibrate endlessly...

Soon, the two exchanged dozens or even hundreds of moves. Conventional moves were obviously difficult to defeat the Tongtian Bridge warrior, and in the moment of fighting, the two sides pulled away.

The Tongtian Bridge warrior said: "If this is all your strength, then you can only stop here!"

Xingchen stared at the Tongtian Bridge warrior with a focused look, knowing that he could use conventional moves, and the other party could also do it, so it was impossible for him to defeat him, so he said: "In that case, then I will let you see my strongest move!"

"The third style of the Yu Shen Bing! The Kai Tian style!"

In the first three pictures of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, space and time are described in detail. Time is a multi-dimensional concept, it is an absolute, evenly flowing dimension, while space is an absolutely uniform and unchanging three-dimensional container that exists independently of matter. The slightest fluctuation of these two superior laws will have a huge impact on objects, which contains infinite mysteries.

There are many ways to influence space, such as space blockade, space strangulation, teleportation, etc.; while the influence on time includes time reversal, time suspension, time deceleration, acceleration, etc.

Obviously, the Kaitian Style not only requires a deep understanding of the laws of time and space in the universe, but also requires their combination and perception, so as to perform this powerful move.

I saw a giant axe carrying the power of creation slashing forward. The space and time in front were all solidified. Its power was like the creation of the world. The warriors of Tongtian Bridge had no way to avoid it and could only take it head-on.

As the axe light moved forward, it continued to accelerate and grow larger under the influence of the laws of time and space, and even cut through space, leaving a huge crack.

The flow of time around the Tongtian Bridge warriors seemed to be slowed down, but this was just an illusion. In fact, the flow of time of the axe light was speeding up!

He tried to use secret techniques to parry, but unfortunately, when the axe light passed through his body, everything seemed to be blown away by the wind, and his figure disappeared into the Tongtian Bridge plane.

"Xingchen, the seventh level of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, passed!"

……

Li Yang watched Xingchen's performance throughout. He had to say that Xingchen's ability to use the "Kai Tian Style" made Li Yang satisfied, no matter his understanding of the laws or his control of the secret techniques.

Performing the 'Kai Tian Style' not only requires some understanding of the laws of time and space, but also has high requirements for the use of secret techniques.

……

The eighth floor of Tongtian Bridge,

Li Yang looked at Xingchen standing where he once stood, and couldn't help but recall his memories. Tens of thousands of epochs had passed, and another little guy was standing where he once stood!
Soon, an identical warrior opponent appeared on the opposite side of the star.

As soon as he moved, the two superior original laws of time and space were affected in an instant. The entire space was instantly in uproar. In just a moment, huge waves of time and space formed around him.

The stars are lifted up by the waves, like a boat tossing on the sea, in danger of capsizing at any time.

"Swish" the weapon in the hands of the Tongtian Bridge warrior was like a ray of light, instantly cutting through the distance between the two people.

"boom"

The gap in their understanding of the laws was too great. Xingchen could only parry a few moves with difficulty. Before he could find a chance to counterattack, he was defeated by the opponent's endless attack like a river and his head was chopped off.

Xingchen failed to break into the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel and stopped at the seventh floor.
