Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 157 The Four Directions Tremble
The fierce battle lasted for a long time until Minghai fully grasped the current laws and his swordsmanship became incredibly profound. He gradually surpassed the masked and black-robed gatekeeper and gained the upper hand in the battle step by step.

'boom'

The two 'ice and snow domains' collided again, causing the void to shake violently.

'brush'

In a fraction of a second, Minghai seized the opportunity, his 'Ice Void Sword' slicing through the void with an unpredictable and mysterious trajectory, striking the masked, black-robed gatekeeper in the chest.

'boom'

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper was instantly cleaved in two by the sword, vanishing into nothingness.

Then, the huge cloud blocking the road slowly disappeared, revealing a long stone bridge stretching towards the horizon.

The twelfth floor of "Ice Peak Sky Bridge"!
"call!"

Looking at the long, ancient stone bridge that connects to the distant horizon, Minghai exhaled.

To pass the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven, one must either possess the level of understanding of immortal laws at the senior military commander level, or comprehend the essence of the 108 void paths.

The current Underworld Sea cannot reach that level.

He only grasped 36 of the Void Essences, and the other 72 were extremely vague in his perception, making it impossible for him to comprehend them in the short term.

Of course, if he had truly grasped the essence of all 108 spatial laws, he wouldn't have only been able to pass through twelve levels.

Comprehending the essence of the 108 void principles will naturally lead to an understanding of the laws that reaches the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but that doesn't mean it's only that.

In fact, once you grasp the essence of all 108 spatial laws, your understanding of the laws will advance by leaps and bounds, allowing you to reach the King level in a very short time!
Not mentioning this.

'whoosh'

Following the ancient, long stone bridge beneath our feet, the Dark Sea rushes forward.

The next level is impossible to pass no matter what!

But I have to see it for myself!
Soon after, we encountered another roadblock caused by fog.

The masked, black-robed gatekeeper has appeared.

'boom'

The moment they clashed, the 'Ice and Snow Domain' formed by the 'Ice Void Sword' was shattered and broken. The next moment, the silver 'Ice Void Sword' in the masked, black-robed gatekeeper's hand pierced into Minghai's chest.

dead!
……

Yuxiang Mountain, primitive area.

Luxury estate, residence.

The Nether Sea slowly appeared.

"That sword strike brought the profound mystery of 'cutting through the void' to its extreme, reaching the immortal realm of a seasoned military lord. It was unstoppable, completely unstoppable!"

Thinking back to the scene of being killed by the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge, Minghai's face showed surprise, and he pondered to himself.

Having been killed once, even though it was in a virtual state, the feeling of being there was incredibly real. Even with Minghai's detached nature, he couldn't help but feel horrified when he thought about it.

'drop'

A cold, robotic voice rang out from the virtual network system.

"You have earned 200.8 points for successfully completing the overpass. These points have been distributed and you are ready to check them!"

"200.8 points, that's quite a windfall!"

Upon hearing the notification from the virtual universe network system, Minghai smiled.

Conquer the sky bridge, and you'll earn points for each level you clear.

Normally, you get 100 points for passing the first level, 200 points for passing the second level, 400 points for the third level, and so on.

However, for geniuses who come to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe for the first time, the Virtual Universe Company offers extra rewards: ten times the points for each successful breakthrough of the Sky Bridge!
In other words, you get 1000 points for passing the first level, 2000 points for passing the second level, 4000 points for the third level, and so on.

Twenty-six years ago, Minghai crossed four layers of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge and received a reward of 1.5 points. This time, starting from the fifth layer, he crossed the eleventh layer in one go and received 200.8 points.

That adds up to 202.3 points!
Converted to Hunyuan units, that's 202.3 Hunyuan units!
How much is this?
It should be noted that the total assets of the deceased Huyanbo amounted to only 312 million mixed units.

If all the points were converted into mixed units, Minghai's current wealth would be comparable to that of Huyanbo, a peak military lord and immortal!
For Minghai right now, this is like becoming rich overnight!
"With just a few points, I can buy enough monsters to advance my Blood Sea realm, but... buying so many monsters is quite a hassle!"

As he pondered, Minghai frowned.

If the Blood Sea wants to expand from its current size of tens of thousands of miles to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, it needs to devour at least ten thousand times more of the million ninth-order 'Sky Giants' it devoured last time, which is 10 billion.

The quantity was staggering; no single company selling demonic beasts could possibly produce so many. Minghai could afford the money to buy the beasts, but contacting so many companies selling them was extremely complicated and troublesome.

"It's a pity that the highest level of raising demonic beasts is only the Universe level. If only we had a World Lord level 'Sky Giant Beast'!"

Minghai thought helplessly.

The World Lord level is two life levels higher than the Universe level. Only 10,000 World Lord level 'Sky Giant Beasts' are needed to meet the Blood Sea's advancement requirements.

The problem is that humans cannot raise demonic beasts of this level; they simply cannot buy them, not even those at the domain lord level.

"Let's see later!"

After much thought, Minghai couldn't come up with a way to ensure Xuehai's safe advancement, so he had to temporarily suppress the idea.

With my current talent, I have enough to cultivate, so there's no rush.

"It took a whole day to get across the overpass this time!"

Upon realizing the time, Minghai was slightly taken aback.

Crossing the overpass usually doesn't take too long; most people can do it in a few minutes, at most an hour or two. It's actually very rare for someone to take as long as him.

On the one hand, I had cleared too many floors; on the other hand, I spent a lot of time on the ninth, tenth, and eleventh floors.

"I'll be leaving Chaos City in one day, time to go out and explore!"

Thinking about leaving Chaos City, Minghai withdrew his thoughts from the virtual universe, got up from the rooftop of his residence on the third floor, and leaped onto the wide, ancient street, walking around.

He planned to relax a bit.

For the past thirty years, I have been diligently cultivating myself at all times. My nerves have been stretched too tight, and it's time to relax a bit.

As Minghai strolled along the ancient streets of Chaos City, news of his astonishing record in breaking through the Heavenly Bridge spread rapidly in all directions, along with the dissipation of over ten thousand immortal kings.

Each immortal king is an important member of the human race, with a large number of relatives, friends, and disciples.

These relatives, friends, and disciples each have their own social circles, and the spread of information through the virtual network is incredibly fast.

In this way, the word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even if the spread was limited to a small circle, it spread throughout the entire human territory in less than a day.

"A cosmic-level breakthrough across the eleven-story Sky Bridge?"

"Ming Hai, the winner of this year's Genius Battle, has successfully navigated the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge at a cosmic level?"

"Ming Hai, the winner of this year's Genius Battle, only spent thirty years cultivating in Chaos City before passing through the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

'real or fake? '

“It’s incredible.”

……

In an instant, countless immortals and realm lords sighed in admiration and envy, filled with emotion and discussing among themselves.

Previously uninterested in the ancient existence of the Underworld Sea, even immortals, cosmic venerables, and cosmic overlords who had spent countless years in seclusion and detached from worldly affairs, all began inquiring about it from familiar friends and relatives.

Deep within the city lord's mansion lies a hidden space.

Deep within the ruins of an ancient battlefield.

A burly man, about three meters tall, wearing complex and ancient dark red battle armor, battle boots, a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt, two fiery red horns on his forehead, and exuding a magnificent and vast cosmic law and a strong aura of bloodshed, gazed through the void onto Minghai.

"This little guy is quite interesting!"

This imposing being, watching Minghai stroll leisurely down the street, smiled faintly on his ancient face and said softly:

"A hundredfold increase in genes, unparalleled comprehension, absolutely stunning! If it weren't for the fact that his soul is indeed human, I would have suspected that he is a spy from another race who infiltrated Chaos City!"

"I wonder if he can maintain this talent!"

The majestic being murmured to itself:
"Little guy, if you can maintain your current talent at the Realm Lord stage, I might consider taking you on as my personal disciple!"

A being of his stature would not easily accept disciples, and even the extraordinary talent that Minghai displayed this time could not sway him to the point of taking on a disciple.

However, if someone can maintain such talent even after reaching the realm master stage, even a great being like him would be tempted.

The human race's high-ranking members, regardless of their status, could only admire, be amazed, or envy Minghai's talent, and perhaps even feel jealousy.

Overall, the impressions were positive, with most people happy that a peerless genius had emerged among the human race.

but……
