Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 147 Influencing the Void
In the original timeline, Luo Feng passed the fourth trial after thirty years of secluded cultivation in Chaos City.

At that time, he not only mastered the fourth level of the Divine Weapon, "Great Skill Like Craftsmanship," but also delved into the essence of the laws, gaining a profound understanding of the laws of space and comprehending "Influence on the Void."

However, although both "Blood Flowing" and "Mysterious Void Manual" follow the path of analyzing the essence of laws, their cultivation paths are different.

Minghai didn't know whether he was stronger now or Luo Feng, who had learned "Blood Flowing" in the original timeline and embarked on the path of analyzing the essence of the laws.

You'll know once you fight!
Staring at the masked, black-robed guardian opposite him, Minghai's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit.

……

Just as Minghai passed through the third level of the Tongtian Bridge and entered the fourth level to challenge the gatekeeper, Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge, sent this message to all the top one thousand geniuses in this year's genius battle.

Bolan, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Galesi, Qian Shui, Tao, Gusiluo, Uka... all received the news at the same time.

"what?"

Berlan, who had just passed the second level of the "Mother Ancestor's Bridge to Heaven," saw the message from Baffin and his gaze instantly sharpened.

"As expected, I'm still no match for him!"

Staring intently into the distance, Berlan thought to himself:
"It seems that giving up on choosing the 'Cosmic Chaos Stele' and not taking the path of cultivating both time and space was the right decision. I still have a chance to catch up with him now, but if I had chosen the most difficult 'Cosmic Chaos Stele,' there would be no hope at all!"

With this in mind, Berlan shut down the communication and began cultivating in his manor in the primitive zone of the virtual universe.

He had completely lost his former arrogance, but under Minghai's pressure, he became highly motivated.

I, Bolan, am no less than anyone else!

Just because things are not as good now doesn't mean they will be in the future!

Primordial District.

A bustling cosmic city was simulated within the independent training ground.

On the rooftop of a skyscraper.

Barefoot and with messy hair, Rong Jun stood atop a skyscraper, holding the Earth-Splitting Blade, overlooking the city below.

"At the Virtual Universe Company, I will definitely become the best among my peers... Right now I am inferior to Minghai and Bolan, but in fifty years, a hundred years, a thousand years, I will definitely surpass them!"

Rong Jun clenched his fists.

"drop!"

The system notified me that a new email had been received.

"the third floor?"

Rong Jun muttered to himself:
"No wonder Minghai is the one who made the Nine Swords Venerable unable to resist taking him as a disciple. Amazing, amazing!"

Not long ago, he passed through the first level, becoming the only one among this group of geniuses to have crossed the first level of the Heavenly Bridge.

But soon news came that Bolan had passed the second level, and now Minghai had passed the third level.

Rong Jun was not surprised by this.

Both the Underworld and Bolan are now far superior to him.

However, Rong Jun's special background and painful childhood experiences made him extremely resilient. He did not lose heart at all, but instead aroused boundless fighting spirit.

"Look to the future, not the present!"

Rong Jun's expression was resolute as he instructed his virtual assistant:
"Disconnect communication!"

Meanwhile, Galesi, Qian Shui, Tao, Guslow, Uka, and others also received the news. Their reactions varied; some were used to it and didn't care, while others secretly vowed to surpass him in the future...

"As expected of Grandpa Ming!"

Luo Feng, who had finally made it through the first level of the "Nine Heavens Bridge" only to be instantly defeated on the second level, praised it, then added with some relief:

"Luckily, I listened to Grandpa Ming back then and didn't waste my points, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford 'Bloodstained' now. Babata, do you know who the True King Yan is?"

“I don’t know!” Babata said.
"The immortals who can reside in Chaos City are at least kings. When I was following my master, I never came into contact with such great beings!"

"Forget it, I'll buy 'Bloodstained' first!"

Luo Feng shook his head and said:
"The True King suggested that I buy 'Bloodstained'. He must have been intentionally giving me pointers. The guidance of such a great being must have profound meaning and cannot be ignored!"

……

The end of the fourth level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

Minghai has already clashed with the masked, mysterious black-clad gatekeeper.

As soon as the battle began, Minghai understood that the fourth-level gatekeeper's understanding of the laws corresponded to the first image of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele.

The moves and movements all contain the profound essence of the three spatial laws, showcasing the spatial laws at this level to the fullest extent.

In addition, every movement of the masked black-clad mystery man, every sword strike, caused the surrounding space to resonate, subtly making the void follow his steps and cooperate in battle.

Affecting the void!

The masked black-clad figure's offensive was aided not only by exquisite swordsmanship and powerful laws, but also by the support of the void!

Unless one's understanding of the laws of space has reached this level, they will be powerless against the masked, mysterious black figure and will be quickly defeated.

This is why the fourth level of the Sky Bridge is fundamentally different from the first three levels, with the difficulty increasing several times over.

Fortunately, Minghai also comprehended the concept of 'influencing the void,' enabling him to contend with the masked black-clad mystery man on the void level, preventing him from being completely crushed.

However, his understanding of 'influencing the void' was clearly not as perfect as that of the masked black-clad mystery man. During the battle, his movement and swordsmanship were unknowingly affected, forcing him to fall into a disadvantageous position.

However, through the first three levels of training, his swordsmanship improved significantly, and his application of the laws and understanding of the void also reached a new level. He was able to maintain a balance of offense and defense with the masked black-clad mystery man, and was not defeated instantly.

'Brush brush'

Silver and black figures intertwined, sword light swept across, the void trembled, the two fought with lightning speed, causing the surrounding void to tremble, creating ripples that seemed ordinary but could actually instantly kill those who had not comprehended the 'Affecting the Void' technique.

Blood Demon's fighting instincts allowed him to quickly become familiar with the masked black-clad man's fighting style. His exceptional comprehension enabled him to eagerly absorb the void insights displayed by his enemies during battle.

As Minghai's understanding of the void deepened, especially his comprehension of 'influencing the void' rapidly improved, he gradually caught up, turning the tide step by step, and the battle situation gradually leveled out.

In the end, Minghai fully understood and mastered the mysteries contained in the first image of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele," and the scales of victory gradually tipped in his favor.

The guardians of the Bridge to Heaven represent a certain level of understanding of the laws, but not the perfect level of understanding of the laws at that stage.

Because, in the design of the human race's high command, the strength of the gatekeepers is limited to the point where they are just one step away from perfectly mastering a certain stage of the law. Any challenger who has not fully mastered the law of that stage will not be able to pass.

However, as long as you master the rules at this level perfectly, you can basically defeat the challenger.

After all, the role of the gatekeeper is to test those who attempt the challenge, not to stop them!
Therefore, when Minghai fully mastered the first diagram of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele" and reached the limit of his understanding of spatial laws and the void, his strength surpassed that of the challengers.

‘刷
With his advantage growing, after a long and fierce battle, Minghai seized an opportunity and killed the masked black-clad mystery man.

As the clouds and mist dissipated, an ancient stone bridge stretching into the distance came into view.

The fifth level of the Sky Bridge.

"I'm most likely not going to make it past the next level!"

Looking ahead, Minghai thought to himself.

However, I still want to see it for myself, at least to know how far I am from the fifth floor.

soon.

A sharp sword light flashed, and Minghai's vision went black. When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in his manor in the primitive area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain.

"Fifth floor, failed!"

A cold, virtual network system voice came from beside my ear.
