Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 153 Such Talent
In the sky, unseen by the immortal kings, a dozen magnificent figures were also conversing with each other.

"Nine Swords, you've really hit the jackpot this time!"

An ancient being smiled at the Nine Swords Venerable:
"Just because he hosted this year's Genius Battle, he managed to recruit a peerless genius who appears only once every ten million epochs!"

"Tianfeng, you were the one who didn't want to host back then and recommended me. What? Now you're envious of me? Too late!"

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled slightly and replied without any politeness.

"Sigh! To be honest, I do have some regrets. Who wouldn't want such a genius who has at least reached the peak of kingship and has a great chance of becoming a cosmic venerable?"

Venerable Tianfeng sighed and shook his head.

"Peak Kingship? Tianfeng, your information is outdated!"

Another imposing figure laughed:

"Since you're not in Chaos City and haven't seen Minghai in reality, you naturally don't know that Minghai isn't an ordinary human. His body possesses a hundred times the genes of ordinary life forms. What peak king? He's definitely an invincible king!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianfeng was greatly surprised and looked at Venerable Jiujian, asking:

"Nine Swords, really? Does the Underworld Sea truly possess a body with a hundred times the genetic potential?"

"hehe!"

The Nine Swords Master smiled but remained silent.

“()&*@￥#”

Venerable Tianfeng cursed profusely, his face extremely grim, and finally said bitterly:
"Nine Swords, you have to treat me. I want to drink the best wine!"

"That's right, Nine Swords, you have to treat us to a meal, and with the best wine!"

Another imposing figure also spoke through gritted teeth.

"hehe!"

The three-eyed old man, Kander, who had remained silent until now, couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this and said:
"Qianwu, although the Underworld Sea originated from your cosmic kingdom, there's no need for you to be so jealous and regretful, is there?"

"I'm just jealous and regretful, so what?"

"I'm desperate," Qianwu said angrily.

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so cosmic venerables burst into laughter.

^……

The sixth level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

Before the massive clouds and fog.

"Choose your opponent; you can choose a martial artist...!"

"Musha!"

'brush'

After a familiar exchange, Minghai casually slashed his sword, killing the masked, black-robed gatekeeper who had charged at him.

The fog blocking the road slowly dissipated, revealing an ancient stone bridge stretching into the distance.

The seventh level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

The seventh floor is several times more difficult than the sixth floor, but it still doesn't pose a challenge to Minghai.

'brush'

The sharp sword light instantly killed the masked, black-robed gatekeeper. The clouds and mist disappeared, revealing the long, ancient stone bridge leading to the eighth level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

at the end.

The clouds and mist churned, and yet another masked, black-robed gatekeeper appeared ahead.

'brush'

The sword flashed.

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper fell, the clouds and mist vanished, and the ancient stone bridge stretching to the horizon reappeared.

The ninth level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge!

"The first eight levels aren't difficult, and the ninth level probably won't be too hard either!"

As he sped along the ancient stone bridge, Minghai pondered to himself.

"The real trouble is in the tenth floor and beyond!"

The first nine levels of the Sky Bridge involve only the level of understanding of laws, limited to 'influencing the void' and the initial 'cutting the void'.

As early as 26 years ago, Minghai had mastered the ability to "influence the void" and had initially comprehended the ability to "cut the void". He had also mastered the fifth level of the "Ice Void Sword", "Frosty Space". At that time, his understanding of the laws had already reached the level of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Therefore, the first nine levels were really not difficult for him. But starting from the tenth level, the required understanding of the laws would increase significantly, and he would have to comprehend 'splitting space' to a very deep level in order to have any hope of passing.

Although it is only a small branch of the laws of space, 'cutting the void' still contains countless mysteries and spans a great distance.

To fully master 'cutting the void', one needs to comprehend the essence of the first thirty-six spatial laws and elevate one's understanding of spatial laws at this stage to its limit.

The first thirty-six laws are not a problem in essence. After thirty years of arduous cultivation in Chaos City, Minghai had already come into contact with them, and after observing the Chaos Stele once, he had completely mastered them.

The first three images of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele" held no secrets for him, and even the fourth image brought him considerable insights.

Furthermore, he could even vaguely sense the unique void fluctuations corresponding to the remaining seventy-two spatial laws through this observation of the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele".

With a talent level that appears only once every ten million epochs, a perfect compatibility with the laws, and the assistance of the Blood Sea Consciousness, Minghai's cultivation aptitude is terrifyingly strong, among the best in human history.

With such talent, guided by the Chaos Stele, Minghai's efficiency in comprehending the laws reached an unbelievable level.

Give him ten years, and he is not only confident that he can completely master 'cutting the void', but also go further on that basis!
However, as things stand, the time spent cultivating is simply too short, and one has not yet reached that level.

Lost in thought, I had already arrived at the end of the ninth level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

Large clouds and fog blocked 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 ninth 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 and condensed into a tall, mysterious figure in a mask and black robe, exuding a sharp aura.

"You're quite impressive to have made it this far at the cosmic level!"

The masked, black-robed figure, the guardian of this level, looked at Minghai and coldly said:

"But that's it!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Minghai replied coldly.

'brush'

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper swayed and appeared before him in the next instant, his sword light carrying a sharp killing intent that enveloped Minghai's entire body.

'buzz buzz'

As this item was swung out, the surrounding space emitted a buzzing sound, resonating with the masked, black-robed gatekeeper, causing the void to tremble and shaking one's mind.

Minghai remained expressionless, his figure flashing as he swung his 'Ice Sky Sword'.

'buzz buzz'

The void emitted a chilling buzzing sound once more, while countless icy auras covered the surrounding area, exuding a murderous aura.

The fifth level of the 'Ice Void Sword': 'Frost Space'!
'brush'

A sharp sword light flashed, and the 'Ice Void Sword' traced an arcane path through the violently shaking void, striking the masked, black-robed gatekeeper directly.

‘Puff’

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper vanished.

The thick clouds blocking the road ahead dissipated, revealing a long, ancient stone bridge stretching into the distance.

The tenth floor of "Ice Peak Sky Bridge"!

Outside the sky bridge lies a beautiful island.

"Clean and efficient, impressive!"

"This sword strike encompasses almost all the mysteries of 'influencing the void,' fully utilizing the advantages of the 'Ice Void Sword' divine weapon, and can already be considered as 'slicing through the void'!"

"Such talent, such talent!"

……

On the plaza, tens of thousands of Kings and Immortals exclaimed in admiration as they watched the figure of Minghai on the giant screen.

The dozen or so figures, suspended high in the sky and hidden in the void, nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad!"

A colossal being with a band of blue scales on its face nodded slightly and said:
"To comprehend the laws of space to this level at the cosmic level is already considered a once-in-ten-million-epoch genius. If the Realm Lord stage can maintain this cultivation speed, Minghai will definitely be another peerless genius of our human race!"

"Not in a hurry!"

Another person with an ancient appearance said:

"Let's see how they perform on the tenth level. Starting from the tenth level, the required understanding of the laws increases dramatically. It will be really interesting if they can pass the tenth level!"
