Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 314 The Pinnacle of Genius
"I'll start my adventure now." Jiang Ye smiled slightly, his expression calm and confident.

Before he finished speaking, a white longsword suddenly appeared in his hand. The sword was long and slender, and the blade gleamed with a cold light. It was the Devouring Abyss Sword.

However, at this moment, the Devouring Abyss Sword still retains the initial state when the Lord of Chaos City bestowed it upon Jiang Ye. It has not yet undergone the tempering of the Qiankun Cauldron, and therefore has not yet reached the level of a great treasure.

After all, this is a virtual universe.
Although the virtual universe is touted as "100% virtual," Jiang Ye, who knows the origin of the virtual universe, understands that it is only relative.

In the virtual universe, items like the Starry Sky Cloak and the Flowing Light Gale Disc are naturally gone, as are items like the King's Soul and the Golden Armor, which greatly enhance strength.

At this moment, Jiang Ye only possesses the body of a Realm Lord, and is no different from all the other Realm Lord geniuses in the virtual universe.

The difference lies in the inner attainments of "understanding the laws", "willpower and consciousness", "secret techniques" and "amplitude".

"Come on!" The minotaur gripped the massive battle axe tightly with both hands and swung it violently. With a thunderous roar, a sharp and piercing whistling sound filled the air, and the powerful airflow generated by the battle axe caused ripples in the surrounding space.

"Let's see how strong you are." The ape-man's eyes shone brightly, and the telekinetic weapons behind him unleashed their power.

"Your Highness Jiang Ye, don't rush, I'm afraid of pain, please be gentle with me." The snake woman said coquettishly, her voice melodious and sweet like a nightingale's song. In an instant, an invisible soul attack spread out like a surging tide.
"Om~~~"

Tens of thousands of sword shadows instantly coalesced. These sword shadows swiftly intertwined into a massive sword array, crashing down directly towards the minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman, tearing them apart in an instant.

The battle ended instantly.

We've passed the hurdle at the foot of the mountain.

"The foot of the mountain is indeed easy." Jiang Ye walked straight up. Based on the strength these three had displayed, Jiang Ye estimated that they might have a similar level of understanding of the laws of the 18th level of the Cosmic Bridge.

Having spent many years on the battlefield outside the region, Jiang Ye has made great progress, so this hurdle was naturally overcome with ease.

……

Once on the mountainside, it’s still very easy!

……

Although he encountered some trouble at the summit, Jiang Ye is now not only powerful in terms of laws, but also in terms of amplitude and secret techniques. Once he gets serious, he will succeed directly.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Jiang Ye, on successfully passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level challenge."

"Everyone in our human race who can break through the World Lord-level primitive Tongtian Mountain is a peerless genius who only appears in tens of millions of epochs."

"Only those who have conquered the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is at the level of a World Lord, can be considered among the most outstanding geniuses in human history."

The three guardians at the summit were resurrected and were overjoyed and respectfully congratulated Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye stood atop the Primal Tongtian Mountain, overlooking the endless, desolate land, and also saw two other low-lying Tongtian Mountains in the distance... Just as Jiang Ye stood atop the mountain, his thoughts drifting, the higher-ups of the human race had already learned that Jiang Ye had broken through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Realm Lord level.

This news spread like wildfire.

Standing atop the primeval Tongtian Mountain, with the mountain winds howling, Jiang Ye stood there for a long time.

"Finally, I stand at this highest peak." Jiang Ye looked down upon the endless land of the Tongtian Mountain plane and murmured, "The Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a World Lord-level entity, is a benchmark for countless geniuses throughout human history. Only by conquering it can one be considered one of the strongest geniuses in history. Now, I stand at the pinnacle of the strongest geniuses... but a genius is just a genius, not a true powerhouse." "One day..."

"I too will stand at the pinnacle of the universe's strongest!"

"Breaking through the cycle of reincarnation..."

"Transcending the highest rules!"

With a surge of pride, Jiang Ye silently made a vow in his heart, recalling his time on Earth when he was just an ordinary person. Although he harbored the dream of cultivating to become stronger, Earth was in the Dharma-ending Age, and ordinary people could hardly achieve even the simplest form of steel and iron bones of a cultivator in their entire lives.

Unexpectedly, a sudden accident transported him to this world of devouring beings where powerful beings roam the universe, and he was fortunate enough to receive assistance from a mysterious system.

Having officially embarked on this path to becoming a powerful figure... Jiang Ye also harbored endless dreams and passions, but he knew that on any path to pursuing strength, without dreams as guidance and passion as motivation, achieving extraordinary success would be virtually impossible.

brush!
With a dazzling flash of light, Jiang Ye's figure vanished instantly from the summit of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, leaving only the mountain wind still howling, as if telling of this powerful figure's ambition and heroism, and as if announcing to the entire universe that a legend had only just begun...

……

In the plane of the Sky Bridge, at the center of that beautiful island that resembles a fairyland, Baffin, the guardian, has remained steadfast for billions of years, silently guarding this place.

brush.

Jiang Ye appeared on the island without warning, causing Baffin, the guardian in the distance, to smile with delight: "Your Highness Jiang Ye, it's been such a long time since I've seen you!"

"Haha, it really has been a long time since I've seen you, Baffin. I've really missed you, so here I am," Jiang Ye said with a smile, his words conveying warmth and familiarity.

"Your Highness Jiang Ye seems quite confident," asked Baffin, the guardian, with great interest. "Which level do you plan to challenge this time?"

"Let's just get to whichever floor we can, and ideally, we'll have a good fight with the guardian of the 21st floor," Jiang Ye said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Fight the guardian of the 21st floor?" The guardian, Baffin, was slightly taken aback. "You must have at least passed the 20th floor to be qualified to do this. Could it be..."

Jiang Ye grinned, revealing a confident expression: "Is the Cosmic Sky Bridge deserted right now?"

"No," the steadfast Baffin answered truthfully.

"very good."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh!
Jiang Ye's figure flashed, and like a streak of light, he sped directly towards the direction of the Cosmic Bridge.

The steadfast Baffin watched Jiang Ye leave, muttering under his breath, "He's too confident. How many years has he been cultivating? He seems to have complete confidence in passing the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge. Hmm? There's an email? Wait, there's more than one email."

The steadfast Baffin quickly checked his emails, and what he saw shocked him!
"What? He actually made it past the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the World Lord level!" Guardian Baffin stared wide-eyed in surprise and quickly turned to look in the direction of the Cosmic Tongtian Bridge. "It seems he really might have a chance to fight the 21st level guardian."
