Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 146 Breaking through three floors in a row
Minghai had already grasped the essence of the three laws, making him extremely sensitive to void fluctuations and possessing an exceptionally keen perception of spatial laws. Coupled with his superior cultivation level compared to his opponent, he mastered the essence of the masked black-clad mysterious man's swordsmanship in a short time during the battle.

'brush'

The sword pierced the void, and Minghai killed his opponent with a single strike. The clouds and mist in front of him disappeared, revealing a stone bridge stretching into the distant horizon.

The third level of the Sky Bridge!

The tens of thousands of immortal kings watching the battle from the small island outside were all sighing with admiration.

"awesome!"

The burly, ape-man-like figure, clad in golden armor and with golden fur on his face, sighed:
"For a cosmic-level kid to perform like this on his first visit to Chaos City is simply astonishing! I bet he can definitely get past the third level!"

Having witnessed Minghai's ascent to the first level and the numerous King-level Immortals on that level, none of them objected upon hearing this, including those King-level Immortals who initially believed Minghai could only pass the second level.

The first two levels of challenges demonstrated Minghai's talent in the laws of magic and his mastery of swordsmanship, which were enough for him to pass the third level.

"The third level should be fine. The question now is whether he can get past the fourth level!"

"That's what the burly man with two horns on his head said."

"The fourth layer involves a small branch of the laws of space!"

The woman in the black robe with a snake tail at the waist shook her head and said in a hoarse voice:

"Simply grasping the essence of the three spatial laws is not enough; I wonder if he has even touched upon that level!"

"Hard to say!"

The Frost King's expression was somewhat solemn as he slowly spoke:

"The first image of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele, besides containing the essence of the three spatial laws, also preliminarily elucidates the profound mystery of 'spatial cutting'. If Minghai comprehends this mystery, the fourth level will not be able to stop him; if he does not comprehend it, he will not be able to pass through the fourth level!"

"They probably can't get through, right?"

A six-meter-tall, one-horned giant hesitated:
"In any case, this is Minghai's first time in Chaos City. He has only observed the Chaos Stele once. How could a mere universe-level being possibly delve into the mysteries of 'space cutting' after mastering the essence of the three spatial laws?"

"What if we make it through?"

An immortal who had been granted the title of king asked:
"Everyone, historically, when joining the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle, the first time entering Chaos City, the first time crossing the Sky Bridge, the most levels one could pass through seemed to be four, right?"

"That's right!"

An extremely ancient, immortal king nodded and said:
"Within trillions of epochs, the first time I entered Chaos City and the first time I crossed the Heavenly Bridge, the most levels I passed was four, and there were only about ten. However, I don't know the records before trillions of epochs; perhaps there are even higher records!"

"King Cangyue, you are the oldest person here. If even you don't remember, then we certainly don't remember either!"

One of the immortal kings shook his head.

Humanity has a long history, and there are even more ancient and immortal beings to come.

But those ancient beings are either in seclusion cultivating in seclusion or living in seclusion, rarely showing themselves. No matter how talented a mere cosmic-level little guy is, he cannot attract their attention by crossing the Heavenly Bridge.

"Currently, it seems that Minghai has a good chance of passing the fourth level. If he does, his talent evaluation will likely be even higher, reaching the level of one in a billion epochs!"

Another immortal sighed.

'hiss'

Upon hearing this, all the immortal kings present gasped in shock.

……

The end of the third floor of Tongtian Bridge.

At this moment, Minghai was naturally unaware that his attempt to break through the barrier had caused a huge uproar outside.

If they knew, they'd probably say these people who were granted the title of King and Immortal had a really good eye for talent.

His comprehension and cultivation talent are only at the level of one in ten million epochs for the human race, but considering the full compatibility of the laws brought by the hundredfold life genes, the talent he has shown is indeed at the level of one in a hundred million epochs!
"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 third level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

The clouds and mist made a sound.

"Musha!"

Minghai remained expressionless and spoke calmly. A cloud of black liquid flew out from the massive cloud, condensing into a tall, mysterious masked figure exuding a sharp aura.

brush!
The masked, black-clad figure drew his sword, slicing through the void with a sharp, lightning-fast aura as he hurtled towards the Nether Sea.

Brush, brush, brush!!!
As he charged forward, numerous figures suddenly appeared around the masked, black-clad mystery man; hundreds of identical clones rushed towards him simultaneously.

Seeing this, Minghai also used the 'Hundred Lines Flow' technique, creating a hundred clones to meet the masked black-clad mysterious man.

Both the masked black-clad mysterious man and Minghai could actually conjure more than 9000 clones, but they both chose one hundred.

"The Flow of Ten Thousand Lines" is merely a movement technique; the clones have no actual combat power. At the same level of "The Flow of a Hundred Lines," there is little difference between having one hundred clones and having 9999 clones.

Two hundred figures quickly intertwined, sword light flashed, the void trembled, and they engaged in a fierce battle.

‘Swish swish’

His figure shifted back and forth between a hundred illusory forms, appearing and disappearing like a ghost in the Underworld, shattering the opponent's illusory forms one by one.

At the same time, his illusory form gradually broke apart.

Before long, only the two of them remained, tumbling and rolling on the stone bridge, their swords flashing and leaping through the air as they clashed.

The guardians on the Bridge to Heaven are virtual opponents who have pushed the current laws to their limits. In addition to testing the challengers' understanding of the laws, they also serve as guides for cultivation.

Compared to the opponents simulated in the killing field, the guardians of the Heavenly Bridge are more suitable for cultivation.

However, while virtual enemies in the killing field can be created an unlimited number of times, here you only have one chance.

During the battle, Minghai quickly absorbed the essence of his opponent's swordsmanship and skillfully applied the laws.

When he could no longer gain any insight, the Nether Sea Sword Technique underwent a sudden change, with its speed, strength, and the power of laws increasing dramatically, quickly overwhelming his opponent.

After several exchanges, he killed his opponent.

The clouds and mist ahead dissipated, revealing a long, ancient stone bridge leading to the fourth level.

'whoosh'

Without hesitation, Minghai rushed towards the end of the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at yet another cloud of fog blocking the road.

"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 fourth level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

The clouds and fog repeat the same pattern as the previous layers.

"Musha!"

Minghai said lightly.

The newly formed, towering figure, radiating a sharp aura, was a masked, mysterious man in black. He stared at the Underworld Sea and coldly said:

"You've reached the fourth level of the cosmic level, which is quite impressive, but that's where you end up!"

Minghai remained silent, holding his sword and cautiously observing the masked, black-clad figure opposite him.

Compared to the guardians of the first three levels, the guardians of this level are more than twice as strong!
The strength of the guardian increases dramatically every three levels of the Sky Bridge.

"Affects the void!"

He quickly reviewed his insights from observing the Chaos Stele not long ago, and Minghai adjusted his mindset to put himself in the best possible state.

The first image of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele" not only symbolizes the waves representing the essence of the three spatial laws, but also contains the concept of "influencing the void".

And 'influencing the void' is the prerequisite for 'cutting the void', a minor branch of the spatial laws.

Only by understanding 'influencing the void' can one further comprehend 'cutting the void'.

By observing the first 'wave' image of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele," Minghai has gained a preliminary understanding of 'influencing the void,' but whether he can defeat the guardian of the fourth level is still uncertain.
