Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 275 Primal Tongtian Mountain, Tongtian Bridge, Hongmeng
"During the era of the Realm Lord, did he receive recognition from the origin of the Ten Great Laws of the Universe?"

Upon hearing Minghai's words, the Lord of Ice Peaks wore a strange expression.

If someone else said this, even if it were a peerless genius who appears only once every ten million or one hundred million epochs, the Lord of Ice Peak would find it absurd.

But the Dark Sea...

After the genius battle, he secluded himself in Chaos City for thirty years, passed the eleventh level of the Bridge to Heaven, and in less than thirty years, he mastered the essence of 108 spatial laws. Soon after, he was promoted to Domain Lord, and four years later, he passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

In less than a century, he has mastered the three major branches of spatial laws, created a supreme technique, and possesses invincible strength as a world lord.

Most of the geniuses from the same period as Minghai are still hovering on the fifth or sixth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

Even the most talented Bolan, and the recently emerging Luo Feng, could only pass through the thirteen levels of the Tongtian Bridge.

The Lord of Ice Peaks was initially taken aback, but after a short while, he felt it was only natural.

With Minghai's talent, this was to be expected.

Having gained recognition from the origins of the Ten Laws of the Universe during his time as a Realm Lord, and most importantly from the origins of the Law of Time, his future advancement to the position of Universe Lord will be not only effortless but also smooth sailing.

"Perhaps, before long, I will have a disciple of the Lord of the Universe?"

A thought suddenly rushed into the Ice Peak Lord's mind, and after realizing it, he couldn't help but be startled.

If one gains recognition from the origin of the Ten Laws of the Universe during the era of the Realm Lord, there will be no obstacles to comprehending the laws in the future.

Leaving aside the fact that advancing to the level of Universe Venerable, the difficulty of advancing to the level of Universe Lord has been reduced by an unknown amount.

Why have those cosmic venerables, cosmic overlords, and even top cosmic overlords been unable to become the masters of the universe for countless years?
One aspect is that promotion opportunities are extremely rare.

Most importantly, these cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords cultivated only one superior law, either space or time, during their realm lord period. Their perception of the other superior law was extremely vague. After becoming cosmic venerables, it was incredibly difficult for them to advance to the realm lord. Every step forward required billions of years of accumulation.

Many cosmic overlords who have become cosmic masters by mastering the laws of space have comprehended the laws of time for trillions of epochs, yet they cannot even pass through the eighteen levels of the time-based bridge to heaven!
However, if one can gain the recognition of the origin of the Ten Laws of the Universe during the Realm Lord period, especially if one can gain the recognition of another superior law in addition to focusing on a superior law, then there will be no such trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Ice Peak looked into the Nether Sea and his eyes suddenly burned with passion.

Given Minghai's talent and comprehension, if he could gain the recognition of the origin of the ten laws of the universe, especially the origin of the law of time, during his time as a world lord, wouldn't it be easy for him to advance to the position of universe lord in the future?
"Very good, your teacher looks forward to seeing that day!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks didn't say much, but simply nodded in approval of the Underworld Sea's actions and smiled:
"However, you'd better get through the Primal Heavenly Mountain and the Twentieth Heavenly Bridge first, otherwise, many people might think you're aiming too high!"

"I'll be there shortly!"

Minghai smiled.

……

The original Tongtian Mountain plane.

The majestic peak of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, the master of the realm.

A sharp sword light flashed, and the minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Minghai, on successfully passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord-level challenge."

"Everyone in our human race who can break through the World Lord-level primitive Tongtian Mountain is a peerless genius who only appears in tens of millions of epochs."

"Only those who have conquered the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is at the level of a World Lord, can be considered among the most outstanding geniuses in human history."

The three gatekeepers were resurrected, overjoyed and respectfully congratulated the Underworld Sea.

Minghai, standing with his sword sheathed and covered in blood and silver armor, smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, anyone who has passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, can be called a peerless genius, appearing only once every ten million epochs.

But can someone who has cultivated for a million years and broken through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the World Lord level be the same as someone who has cultivated for a hundred years and broken through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the World Lord level?
Standing atop the primeval Tongtian Mountain, overlooking the endless, vast land in the distance, Minghai felt a sense of exhilaration.

……

The twenty-first level of the Ice Peak Sky Bridge.

At the end of the ancient stone bridge.

"Kill!" The black-robed gatekeeper's eyes were sharp, and his longsword transformed into a huge blade, sealing and locking the void. The power on the blade was extremely terrifying.

"Pfft!"

Minghai tried his best to defend with his sword, but the surrounding void was too tightly sealed, and his movement speed could not keep up. As soon as he was slightly slower, the sword blade struck his life core, and he died on the spot.

It reappeared in the study of a manor villa in the Yuxiangshan primitive area.

"The 'blockade' and 'strangulation' unleashed by the complete spatial laws are too powerful; there's simply no way to break through!"

Thinking back to the battle with the gatekeeper on the twenty-first level of the Sky Bridge, Minghai shook his head, unconcerned.

The twenty-first level is not something that beings below the level of a Cosmic Venerable can pass through.

The news of passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain was concealed by the Virtual Universe Company, but the news of passing through the twentieth level of the Tongtian Bridge spread like wildfire.

……

Virtual Universe, Hongmeng.

On the wide street, Minghai, with his black hair and silver armor, walked side by side with the burly Cangjian King.

"That's Puyai Palace, the only casino in the entire Hongmeng City. The profits are staggering; it's a business with virtually no capital!"

Pointing to a luxurious building, King Cangjian laughed:
"It's impossible to apply to the Hongmeng to build a casino. There's only one casino slot, and that's Puyai Palace... Rumor has it that Puyai Palace is backed by a certain hall master in the Hongmeng Hall, or even that several hall masters jointly set up Puyai Palace!"

"Not just Puya Palace."

Cangjianwang pointed to the rows of enormous shops in the distance and continued:

"There are limits on the number of shops for all kinds of businesses. These shops... can only be built with the backing of a Universe Venerable. So, not everyone has the opportunity to make huge profits within the Hong Alliance."

Minghai smiled and nodded as he listened to Cangjian Wang's introduction.

Not long ago, he was invited by the Hongmeng to join the Hongmeng as the 'Cold Sword King'. After learning about this, the Cangjian King volunteered to show him around the Hongmeng.

After touring for a while, the two entered a tavern run by a foreign race for drinks.

"Huh? King Cangjian?"

As soon as he entered the tavern, someone called out the name of Cangjian Wang. Minghai looked over and saw that it was a human immortal king who was about to leave the tavern.

"Haha, King Jinghong, I never expected to meet you here!"

King Cangjian recognized the man and immediately burst into laughter. He led Minghai over and said:

"Come, come, King Jinghong, let me introduce you to someone, King Lengjian. Have you heard of him?"

At the same time, King Cangjian secretly transmitted his voice to the Underworld Sea:

"King Jinghong is a Limit-Sealing King of my human race. He is extremely powerful and we have a good relationship!"

Minghai nodded slightly.

"The Cold Sword King?"

King Jinghong's eyes lit up, then he looked at Minghai in surprise and laughed loudly:
"Of course I've heard of it. The battle between Cold Sword King and Blood Axe King at Fengfeng Tianzhu Mountain was quite spectacular. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I've heard many friends mention it. Come, come, sit down. Today it's my treat, let's have a good drink!"

"You look like you just finished drinking?"

King Cangjian laughed.

"So what?"

King Jinghong also laughed:
"If it were just you, I wouldn't even bother with you and would just walk away. But this is the first time I've met Cold Sword King, so I have to have another drink with you. It's on me!"

King Jinghong had seen Minghai break through the Tongtian Bridge before and knew him, but Minghai was now in the form of King Lengjian, so he didn't actually recognize him.

However, the battle between the 'Cold Sword King' and the Blood Axe King not long ago had already spread throughout the Immortal King's circle, and his reputation was not much less than that of the Cang Sword King. Of course, the Jinghong King was willing to befriend such a powerful figure.
