Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 156 The Venerable One's Astonishment
His comprehension was at the limit level of 'once every ten million epochs', and he also had a special life form with a hundred times the genetic bonus, a perfect compatibility with the laws, and an extreme affinity with the origin. In addition, he had the unique soul of an Earthling and the blood sea consciousness to assist in his cultivation. Before he became immortal, or rather before he created his own secret method, his cultivation talent was basically the ceiling of the original universe.

Minghai believed that at the cosmic level, no one could compare to his cultivation talent; at most, they could match him, but never surpass him.

Even the legendary progenitor!
But unexpectedly, the guardian of this level revealed that he was 'the only one in an epoch'.

Although it was a compliment, it also revealed that countless eons ago, there were also cosmic-level beings who had reached this level, and there were quite a few of them!
The human race has a history spanning trillions of years!
In other words, there are tens of thousands of geniuses who have demonstrated his current talent at a cosmic level.
Hmm, it doesn't seem impossible!

Minghai remembered that the standard for passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain of the Universe was to reach the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge in terms of cosmic-level comprehension of laws.

Although the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level mountain, is incredibly difficult to traverse, many people throughout human history have indeed crossed it.

Thinking of this, Minghai nodded secretly.

Of course, this is really nothing.

After all, this was his first time entering Chaos City, and although he was at the Universe level, he had only recently been promoted to that level.

Historically, the vast majority of those cosmic-level geniuses who conquered the primordial Tongtian Mountain, who were cosmic-level geniuses, should have become cosmic-level geniuses for hundreds, even thousands of years.

The difference in cultivation time is so great that it's incomparable.

Moreover, comparing these things to something at the cosmic level is meaningless.

"Fight!"

Minghai was too lazy to say more. His entire body's genetic energy surged, and the power of laws gathered. He swung the 'Ice Void Sword' in his hand and attacked the masked, black-robed gatekeeper.

'boom'

At the same time, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, and an icy chill permeated the air, sweeping everything away.

'Ice Sky Sword', sixth level 'Ice and Snow Domain'!
The sword technique manipulates the void, forming a unique icy and snowy spatial domain. Theoretically, the Nether Sea is an invincible entity within this domain.

After studying the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele", Minghai naturally mastered the sixth level of the "Ice Void Sword", the "Ice and Snow Domain".

however……

'boom'

Just as Minghai rushed forward, the masked, black-robed gatekeeper opposite him also wielded his 'Ice Void Sword,' and another ice and snow domain appeared, vying with Minghai's ice and snow domain for control of the void.

'brush'

The longsword sliced ​​through the void, leaving a long, dark spatial rift.

Compared to when he broke through the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, Minghai's swordsmanship had become much more powerful. Wherever the sword light passed, the space was more severely damaged, and the spatial cracks it created were larger and longer.

"Not bad!"

Faced with the fierce offensive of the Underworld Sea, the masked, black-robed gatekeeper's cold gaze revealed admiration, but he still coldly said:
"But you're still far from enough to defeat me!"

'Crash'

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper flashed and instantly collided with the Nether Sea. The 'Ice Void Sword' in his hand also tore through the void, creating spatial rifts that were even larger than those created by the Nether Sea.

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper clearly possesses a stronger grasp and application of the laws.

Rumble~~~
Two figures, one in silver and one in black, entangled in a lightning-fast exchange, their swords flashing, their domains colliding, and the void trembling.

Dark spatial scratches appeared, emitting a terrifying rumbling sound, as if space itself were collapsing.

This seemingly minor cosmic-level battle has resulted in a scale comparable to that of a World Lord or even an Immortal God.

Outside the Tongtian Bridge, at the island square.

Tens of thousands of immortal kings stared intently at the battle on the giant screen, which was hundreds of meters long.

Although the battle was intense, with each move as fast as lightning, everyone present was extremely powerful and could still see it clearly.

"It's amazing!"

The two-meter-tall, burly man with skin as white as ice, the Frost King, shook his head and sighed:

"With his comprehension of the laws of the universe reaching this level, it won't be long before Minghai is able to break through the Tongtian Mountain of the Primordial Universe!"

"At most ten years!"

Standing beside him, an immortal king said, "Minghai's understanding of the laws is not far from the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Most importantly, he has gone very far in the path of analyzing the essence of the laws. His understanding of the laws will inevitably improve faster and faster. At most, he will be able to pass through the cosmic-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain in ten years!"

"Amazing, amazing!"

“Stunning!”

"Absolutely stunning!"

……

Many who were granted the title of King and immortality sighed repeatedly.

Over the sky.

The dozen or so cosmic venerables who were in harmony with the void looked at the battle on the huge screen below and all showed expressions of admiration.

"Impressive!"

The Venerable Jiuyue, dragging a snake's tail and draped in a black robe, sighed:
"To have reached this level of understanding of the laws in just thirty years in Chaos City is far superior to what I achieved back then!"

"Everyone, do you think Minghai can get through this level?"

Qianwu rested his chin on his hand, watching the battle on the screen with great interest, and asked the others a question.

"Hard to say!"

An ancient being with a scaled tail beneath it spoke in a deep voice:

"In terms of pure understanding of the laws, Minghai should surpass the guardian of the eleventh level of the Bridge to Heaven. However, he likely only achieved this improvement after studying the Chaos Stele. Time is limited, and he hasn't yet been able to integrate his insights into his secret techniques. Defeating the guardian will be extremely difficult for him!"

"That's true, but..."

The three-eyed old man, Kandri, pondered:
"Minghai is a very clever young man. When he was trying to break through the ninth and tenth levels, he was deliberately honing his combat skills and learning from the gatekeepers. His secret techniques have been improving all the time..."

After a pause, Kandri continued:
"As long as he isn't defeated in a short time, with this kid's comprehension, he'll eventually learn the gatekeeper's secret techniques. Then things will be hard to say!"

"Not bad!"

Venerable Tianfeng nodded and said:
"Besides testing the challengers' understanding of the laws, the guardians of the Bridge of Heaven also guide their cultivation. As long as Minghai can integrate his understanding of the laws into his secret techniques during battle, defeating the guardians shouldn't be a problem!"

"hehe!"

The ancient being with a scaled tail chuckled and said:

"It seems we are destined to witness the rise of a monstrous genius!"

"I am looking forward!"

The ancient being smiled and said:

"He can grow into a Venerable One and become one of us in the future!"

"That's a bit difficult, but at the very least, he'll be guaranteed to be an invincible king!"

The woman in the black robe with the snake tail, Venerable Jiuyue, spoke slowly.

As the crowd discussed, the Nine Swords Venerable remained silent, but the smile on his face grew wider and wider.

"It seems that I can't keep that treasure. Well, with my resources, there's almost no chance of repairing it. And its damaged state is of little use to me. I might as well give it to this little guy so he can grow faster!"

The Nine Swords Venerable thought to himself.

……

The eleventh level of the Sky Bridge.

'Sizzle sizzle'

Rumble~~~
A sharp sword light flashed through the void, creating one dark spatial rift after another. The two 'ice and snow domains' collided violently, causing the void to tremble and teeter on the verge of collapse, as if it were about to crumble at any moment.

In the fierce battle, Minghai became increasingly stable, gradually regaining his footing after initially falling behind, and then launched a counterattack.

Just as those cosmic venerables saw, he was constantly learning from the masked, black-robed gatekeeper opposite him during the battle, integrating his understanding of the laws into his secret techniques, making his swordsmanship more and more exquisite, and his movement techniques more and more mysterious.
