Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 145 Learning in Battle

In the square, many immortal kings discussed among themselves, each speculating on which level the Nether Sea could reach.

Basically, no one believes that the Underworld Sea cannot pass the first level.

Although the Bridge to Heaven is difficult, Minghai's talent is too strong, and he has also received guidance from the Nine Swords Venerable. No one thinks that he cannot pass the first level.

But opinions differed on which level they could ultimately reach.

One-third believed they could only reach the second level. After all, three years ago, Minghai's understanding of spatial laws was comparable to Bolan's, which was not low. In just three years, even with the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable, it would be difficult to pass the second level.

Another third of those who were granted immortality firmly believed that Minghai could pass the third level, but it would be a very difficult task.

The last third of the group believed that Minghai would not only be able to pass the third level, but would do so with ease, based on the guidance of the Nine Swords Venerable, his recent observation of the Chaos Stele, and his unparalleled talent.

No one believed there was any chance of passing the fourth level.

This is impossible.

The fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven requires touching upon a minor branch of a spatial law, demanding an extremely high level of comprehension of spatial laws. Even a genius who emerges only once every ten million epochs would have no chance of passing it if they had just entered Chaos City and had not yet begun cultivating.

In the eyes of these immortal kings, the Chaos City will be over in thirty years. Not to mention the fourth level, even the fifth level will not be difficult for the Underworld Sea.

However, once you enter Chaos City, it's absolutely impossible to get past the fourth level.

……

At this moment, Minghai had already reached the end of the first level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

Ahead lay a massive cloud of mist.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent. Defeating your opponent will allow you to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven."

A sound came from the clouds.

"Musha!"

Holding the 'Crimson Blood Demon Sword', Minghai spoke calmly.

call!
A cloud of black liquid immediately flew out from the mist, condensing in mid-air to form a mysterious figure wearing a black mask and holding a blood-red longsword. Its cold, eerie eyes stared at the Nether Sea, and it spoke in human language:

"Let the battle begin!"

'brush'

With a flash of sword light, Minghai had already swung his sword and slashed down.

He came here to complete a challenge, so of course he wouldn't waste time talking nonsense like an NPC.

At the same time, the mysterious man in the black mask also rushed over with a sword, and the two quickly clashed.

The sword pierced through the void, each strike faster than the last, and in an instant, the Nether Sea suppressed the mysterious man in the black mask.

He has embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of the laws, and his understanding of the laws is far superior to that of his opponent, so this result is not surprising.

"what?"

Despite having the upper hand, Minghai was surprised and slowed down his attack after a short while.

However, he discovered that although the guardian of this level of the Heavenly Bridge had a lower understanding of the laws than he did, the other party's swordsmanship was more efficient in utilizing the laws.

The swordsmanship used by Minghai was from the "Mysterious Void Manual," as was the swordsmanship of the mysterious man in the black mask.

However, the same sword technique, when wielded by the mysterious man in the black mask, was clearly more powerful and refined!

Having figured this out, Minghai immediately abandoned the idea of ​​quickly defeating his opponent and instead began to study the profound mysteries of his opponent's swordsmanship, especially his application of laws.

Mastering the laws generally requires three steps.

First, one needs to sense the laws, and then, through long-term observation and contemplation, comprehend and internalize them.

Finally, one must cultivate through secret methods to transform the laws one has comprehended into one's own cultivation.

Observing, studying, and comprehending are only the first steps. True mastery comes from integrating the principles you comprehend into the secret methods!

The three-year journey allowed Minghai to grasp the essence of a spatial law, elevating his perception and application of laws to a new level.

By observing the Chaos Stele and guided by it, he successfully grasped the essence of the three spatial laws and delved deeper into the origin of the laws.

By cultivating the sword techniques in the "Mysterious Void Manual" corresponding to the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele," one can further integrate the laws they have mastered into their own use and achieve true control.

However, the mysterious man in the black mask opposite him clearly possessed a greater understanding of the first image of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele" than Ming Hai. This wasn't due to a higher level of understanding of the laws, but rather to more refined swordsmanship and a more skillful application of the laws.

‘Swish swish’

Sword light flashed, and the aura of laws dissipated. Two figures tumbled and rolled, locked in a fierce battle.

During the battle, Minghai's efficiency in applying the laws increased rapidly, and his swordsmanship became increasingly exquisite.

Outside the Tongtian Bridge, the tens of thousands of immortal kings watching the battle nodded slowly in unison.

"As expected of a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, his comprehension alone is extraordinary!"

The Frost King, two meters tall with skin as white as ice, sighed:
"Back in the day, I was also the number one in the Genius Battle, but when I first crossed the Sky Bridge, I was only focused on getting across and never thought about learning from the Guardians!"

"This little guy must have been guided by the Nine Swords Venerable and embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of the laws!"

The immortal king with a scaled tail behind him nodded and said:

"In just three years, even after only observing the Chaos Stele once, he has completely embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of laws. It's incredible! This kid has a bright future ahead of him!"

"He has actually embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of the laws, and has already achieved quite a bit. I have changed my mind now. This little guy will definitely be able to pass the third level!"

One of the Immortal Kings who had previously believed that the Underworld Sea could not pass through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven changed his tune.

"Perhaps the little guy has a chance to get through the fourth level!"

An immortal suddenly spoke, paused, and continued:

"However, it's a bit early to say that. The first level won't force out the little guy's true strength. We'll have to see how he performs in the next level!"

Upon hearing this, several nearby immortal kings nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this is only the first level, and the opponent's strength is limited. Minghai is not going all out in order to learn how to apply the laws and improve his swordsmanship.

The first level of the Sky Bridge.

Minghai is still engaged in a fierce battle with the mysterious man in the black mask.

"I see!"

After a long battle, Minghai's mastery of the Xuan Kong Sword Technique improved significantly, and he grasped the essence of the black-masked mysterious man's sword technique.

"almost!"

Realizing that his opponent could no longer provide him with any further insights, Minghai increased the speed of his sword strikes, and the power of the laws contained within the sword surged, quickly forcing the mysterious man in the black mask into a disadvantageous position. After several moves, he was about to kill him with a single sword strike.

The white mist disappeared, and an ancient stone bridge stretching into the distance appeared before us.

The second level of the Sky Bridge.

'whoosh'

Soon, the Nether Sea reached the end of the second level, where it was again blocked by a huge cloud of mist.

The clouds and mist made a sound:

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent and defeat them to pass the second level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

"Musha!"

Minghai said lightly.

Whoosh!
A cloud of black liquid flew out and condensed into a mysterious masked figure.

The mysterious figure, carrying a sword on his back, was tall and exuded a sharp aura as he coldly stared at the Underworld Sea.

The battle unfolded quickly.

Like the guardian of the first level, this masked black-clad mysterious man also used the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique" of the Underworld Sea, but his application of the laws was more exquisite.

As soon as the battle began, Minghai realized that although the guardian's level of law was not as high as his own, his swordsmanship and application of law were far more profound and worth learning.

Naturally, he adopted the same strategy as before: to learn and improve in battle, just as he had done in the killing field when fighting specific virtual opponents.

PS: The points and mixed units have been exchanged. Actually, I remember it was 1 point for 1 mixed unit, but I accidentally checked on Deepseek and it told me that 1 point is worth 10,000 mixed units...
