Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 201 Major Outbreak (Bonus Chapter for 'Little Zhefu's' 10,000-coin reward)

Inside the Tongtian Bridge, Yang Wu's battle with his opponent had reached its most critical moment.

The two spear beams collided repeatedly in mid-air, just like two peerless masters fighting to the death.

Yang Wu and his companion had already mastered the fourth level of spear technique to an unparalleled degree. The spear light was so fast that it left only two barely perceptible threads in the air, while countless threads spread throughout the sky.

The two spear beams clashed repeatedly, resulting in incredibly fierce attacks. Occasionally, they would glide past Yang Wu and his opponent, only to be dodged by the two using their movement techniques.

After exchanging dozens of blows, Yang Wu had figured out all of his opponent's abilities.

"call out!"

One of the two crimson spear beams suddenly burst forth, instantly reaching the lean man before he could dodge.

laugh!

The wiry man's brow was instantly pierced by the spear's edge!

Fifth level of the Sky Bridge, passed!

……

"The sixth floor!"

Yang Wu took a deep breath and flew towards the next level.

Originally, Yang Wu had no intention of attempting the sixth level, even though he already possessed the strength to do so.

But now the arrow is on the bowstring, and there's no turning back.

Moreover, after perfectly mastering the first picture, he only needs to comprehend 12 mysteries to pass the sixth level, so Yang Wu will not reveal too much of his understanding of the laws.

……

On the central island of the Skybridge dimension.

Dozens of immortal gods were astonished to see Yang Wu kill his opponent again after fighting him for dozens of rounds.

Although they had anticipated that Yang Wu might be able to pass the fifth level, they were still incredibly surprised when it happened.

"The fifth level! He really passed it!" The Black Mist King stood to the side, swaying his snake tail, and chuckled, "This Yang Wu has already grasped the essence of the first picture to its fullest extent. In terms of his understanding of the first picture, he's probably no less than any of us!"

The first image on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele corresponds to the first three levels of the Nine Universes Sky Bridge.

After understanding the first picture, you can pass through the third level of the Nine Heavens Bridge.

Generally speaking, most powerful individuals, after comprehending the first diagram, will begin to comprehend the second diagram, and then start traversing the fourth to sixth levels of the Heavenly Bridge corresponding to the second diagram.

But Yang Wu is different; he takes the path of analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws.

This requires fully comprehending all nine mysteries of the spatial laws contained in the first picture.

Once you understand five or six of the mysteries, you can pass through the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

However, passing through the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven is even more difficult. Without studying the second picture, one must fully comprehend all nine mysteries of the first picture and then integrate them into one before one can gain the ability to pass through the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

At the same time, the one who comprehended the first picture reached the limit. Even the great being who left behind the Nine Heavens Bridge could only comprehend the first picture to this extent!

"It seems that after two thousand epochs, the Nine Swords Venerable will have another personal disciple!" another King-level Immortal sighed.

The Jade King, who does not belong to the Nine Universes lineage, appeared here, and Yang Wu has passed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge. Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be accepted as a disciple by the Nine Swords Venerable.

"It seems that Yang Wu's understanding of the first painting is not simply a matter of grasping its essence to the fullest extent!"

The Flame Dragon King stood aside and said very seriously, "Although Yang Wu's understanding of the laws of fire has reached a very profound level, it is far inferior to his understanding of the laws of space."

"Therefore, when he unleashed the fourth level of the Overlord Spear, its power should be comparable to that of the guardian of the fifth level! Yet he passed through so easily; he must have already begun to grasp the 27 mysteries contained in the second picture!"

"this……"

"How is this possible!"

The immortal gods present could hardly believe their ears.

To comprehend the 27 mysteries in the second picture is far more difficult than the first. Compared to that, they would rather believe that Yang Wu has already comprehended the second picture to a satisfactory level.

However, the one who said these words was a very powerful figure in the Nine Universes lineage, the 'Flame Dragon King'!

Among the many immortal beings present, perhaps only True King Yan dared to claim he could outclass his opponent.

However, True King Yan is an immortal being who achieved immortality through the Law of Earth, and he certainly doesn't know as much about Yang Wu, who cultivated the Law of Fire, as King Yanlong does.

A Marquis-level Immortal clad in dark gold armor suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Yang Wu didn't seem to have much trouble passing the fifth level. Could he possibly pass the sixth level?"

Upon hearing this, most of the people present were filled with anticipation. If they could truly witness the birth of a genius who had passed the sixth level, it would be a joyous occasion.

"Hehe..." The Black Mist King chuckled softly from the side, "This little guy is quite strong, but he's probably still a bit short of being able to pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

"Black Mist King!" Flame Dragon King said with a smile, "You're so pessimistic about this little guy, are you afraid he'll surpass that Seven Swords King from your Giant Axe Arena someday?"

When they heard the name "Seven Sword Kings", everyone was shocked.

The Seven Swords King belongs to the Giant Axe Arena lineage and is a peerless genius who has risen to prominence among the human race in the last tens of thousands of years!

He distinguished himself in the Giant Axe Arena at a young age and was directly absorbed into the arena as a core genius. After entering Chaos City for the first time, he directly reached the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Thirty years later, when he left Chaos City, he even passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

It should be noted that even among the current members of the Virtual Universe Company's original secret realm, there is only one cosmic-level genius who can pass through the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and that genius has been cultivating at the cosmic level for thousands of years.

Although the Seven Sword Kings' talent is not as extraordinary as the most exceptional geniuses among humans, it far surpasses that of Bolan and Yang Wu at present.

Among the geniuses still active in humanity today, only the incomparably talented Dream King of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance can surpass him.

However, although Meng Suiwang was more famous than Qi Jianwang, he truly exerted his power during his time as a Realm Lord.

"What do I have to be afraid of!" The Black Mist King smiled and glanced at the Jade King, saying, "If this little fellow really manages to pass the sixth level, the one who'll be most anxious is probably the Jade King!"

The Black Mist King was not wrong.

Among the many powerful beings in the virtual universe, there is also competition among them. The more powerful beings under their command and the more helpers they have, the stronger their influence will naturally be.

Geniuses like Uka and Long Yun, who have consistently ranked first in previous genius battles, are naturally not of concern to the cosmic venerables.

However, a peerless genius like Bolan, who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs, would be taken more seriously by these Venerables; otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to persuade Bolan to change his cultivation path.

However, generally speaking, even a genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs would probably be considered by a Venerable being before being accepted as a disciple.

However, if Yang Wu can really pass the sixth level, he may have the opportunity to rival the Seven Sword Kings, who are peerless geniuses who appear only once every hundreds of thousands of epochs!

Such a genius would be the envy of most Venerables, and it is estimated that many Venerables would step in to take him as a disciple, since the master-disciple relationship is far more reliable than the superior-subordinate relationship.

"Hmph!" King Longyu snorted lightly and said, "What belongs to a Venerable One belongs to a Venerable One, and no one can take it away!"

……

While these immortal beings were conversing, Yang Wu had already reached the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

The end of the sixth level of the Sky Bridge.

A voice emanated from the swirling tornado: "Choose your opponent!"

"I choose... the martial artist!" Yang Wu said calmly.

Then, a lean man dressed in silver armor and wearing a silver mask flew out of the tornado.

Yang Wu glanced at the other party and found that he was no different from the guardian of the fifth floor. He wore the same battle clothes and had the same weapons.

The lean man looked coldly at Yang Wu and said, "A mere Hengxing level trying to challenge the sixth level? I haven't seen that in a long time. I hope you don't fail too quickly!"

"As you wish!"

After Yang Wu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the phantom images of the sun and moon reappeared at the tip of the Overlord Spear, and a ray of spear light pierced through the air.

"Is that all?"

The lean man sneered and instantly activated the Overlord Spear in his hand.

Instantly, endless crimson light filled the surrounding space.

The fifth level of the Overlord Spear technique, "Stars Fill the Sky"!

This fifth level of spear technique is similar to the third level; it is also a group attack move from the Overlord Spear, but its power is many times greater.

"It really is the fifth level of spear technique!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "On the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge, the gatekeeper's use of the fourth level of spear technique was already at a level of perfection. It's not surprising that he used the fifth level of spear technique in this level."

"If I were at the cosmic level, I could easily unleash the fifth level, but I am only at the epochal level now. To unleash the fifth level of the spear technique, I would need a higher level of understanding of the laws."

"My understanding of the laws of space is sufficient, but in the previous simulations, my understanding of the laws of fire hasn't improved much. I'm still a bit far from being able to unleash the fifth level of spear technique at the Hengxing level!"

"However, my understanding of the laws of space is much stronger. When I fully activate the fourth level, I am far more powerful than the guardian of the fifth level!"

"Die!" The lean man glared at Yang Wu, pointed his spear, and countless spear beams rushed towards Yang Wu.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Yang Wu steeled his resolve and laughed loudly, "Today I will show you that the ultimate power of the fourth level can surpass that of the fifth level!"

"kill!"

Yang Wu kept dodging the oncoming spear light, while at the same time, an even more powerful spear light rushed towards the lean man, as fast as lightning, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

Extremely fast speed, boundless power!

Despite the overwhelming crimson light blocking its path, this wisp of spear light always managed to pierce through the tiny gaps between the endless crimson rays.

And this is the terrifying aspect of realizing the essence of the laws of space.

"Die!"

Seeing that he could not stop Yang Wu's attack, the lean man gritted his teeth and used all his strength to control the endless crimson light to attack Yang Wu.

pity……

Although Yang Wu's spear light was only one beam, it was indeed faster and closer to the enemy.

Even a very short time difference is enough to determine the outcome of this battle!

puff!

The spear's edge flashed across the lean man's brow, and the immense power instantly shattered his body.

Although this gatekeeper had a higher level of understanding of the laws than the fifth-level gatekeeper, his physical attributes remained exactly the same as Yang Wu's. Therefore, he was naturally even less able to withstand Yang Wu's more powerful attack.

……

On the central island of the Skybridge dimension, dozens of immortal gods looked up at the screen.

Even though they had prepared themselves mentally because of the Flame Dragon King's words, when Yang Wu actually passed through the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, these immortal gods were still all shocked.

"He really did it!"

"Yes, without any truly exceptional geniuses emerging, this is the limit that our human race's geniuses can achieve!"

"Unexpectedly, after only tens of thousands of years, we have witnessed the birth of such a genius again!"

"Haha... Gentlemen, congratulations on the emergence of another unparalleled genius in our human race!"

……

The Seven Swords King and the Dream King are discussed in Chapters 11 and 12 of Part 16.

The Seven Swords Kings reigned at the peak of their reign for tens of thousands of years. Meng Suiwang, who was ranked ahead of the Seven Swords Kings on the assassination list, was naturally younger when their strengths were equal.

As for the faction to which King Mengsui belonged, I haven't seen it mentioned in the original text yet.
