Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 100 Madness

In the virtual universe's Sky Bridge dimension, Zhou Yang's figure suddenly appeared.

"Haha, Zhou Yang, it's been a long time since I've seen you try the Sky Bridge. All the geniuses in your year come to challenge it once or twice a year."

The watchman, Baffin, greeted him with a smile.

"So, are you confident you can get through the seventh floor this time?"

Among the geniuses recruited in this year's Genius Battle, four stand out: Zhou Yang, Bo Lan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun.

Up to now, Zhou Yang and Bo Lan have both passed through the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, Luo Feng has passed through the fifth level, Rong Jun has passed through the fourth level, while the highest level the others have passed through is the third level.

Of the four, Zhou Yang was the most outstanding, because he passed the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven in his fifteenth year in Chaos City, while Bo Lan only barely passed it three years ago.

Therefore, many people, including Baffin, are paying close attention to him.

However, in the following fifteen years, Zhou Yang never came back to try, which led to some debate about his reputation.

Some people believe that he is quietly preparing, striving to break through the major hurdle of the seventh floor in one fell swoop.

Some people believe that he has exhausted his potential, showing outstanding performance in the early stages but lacking stamina later on; otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to try even once in the past fifteen years?

"Zhou Yang, keep it up! Lots of important people are watching you!"

The guard, Baffin, casually offered a reminder.

"Don't worry, I won't let everyone down!"

Zhou Yang smiled faintly, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, instantly rushing into the mist of the Tongtian Bridge.

"So confident? I'm really going to have to wait and see."

The watcher, Baffin, immediately lit up and began sending out mass emails.

In the virtual universe, on the training ground of the Primal Zone of Yuxiang Mountain.

Bolan, dressed in a white robe, casually wielded a blood-red sword. Where the tip of the sword passed, fine black cracks could be faintly seen appearing.

Suddenly he frowned, and gently tapped in mid-air. Instantly, a screen appeared in front of him, displaying an email.

"Zhou Yang, a peerless genius who emerged once every million epochs, is challenging the Bridge to Heaven again after fifteen years."

Bolan read it aloud softly, and then a rare smile appeared on his usually icy face.

"This guy's finally making a move!"

Compared to when he first entered Chaos City, he had lost some of his arrogance, but gained a more restrained sharpness.

His figure vanished instantly, and the next second he appeared in the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

On the rooftop of his residence in Chaos City, Luo Feng, clad in dark red blood armor, slowly opened his eyes.

He was enveloped in an astonishing aura of menace, making him appear domineering and savage.

"Hey, Yoko's finally going to cross the Sky Bridge again. Let's go check it out."

In the manor of the Primordial Zone of the virtual universe, Rong Jun, who was originally sitting quietly and cultivating a secret technique, suddenly looked up, his eyes wide open!

"Damn, we still have to go through this."

"Zhou Yang is going to break through the Sky Bridge again! Quick, go check it out!"

One genius after another, and even some immortal powerhouses who were paying attention to Zhou Yang, quickly arrived at the Tongtian Bridge plane.

Soon, the beautiful island in the middle of the endless blue sea was densely packed with a large group of people.

"Buffon, start video playback!"

A powerful immortal with two huge, sharp horns on his head spoke.

"Yes, Lord Dragon Rock King!"

Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge, raised his hand and waved it, and a huge screen appeared in the center of the island.

……

"Whoosh~"

Zhou Yang moved forward quickly and soon reached the end of the seventh floor.

The seventh-level sky bridge extends directly into the boundless starry sky.

At the end of the seventh-level sky bridge, a small meteorite several kilometers in diameter is suspended.

Zhou Yang, carrying an ancient-style long whip, stood on the bridge, looking at the meteorite floating in front of him.

"Choose your opponent: a warrior, a controller, or an illusionist. Defeat one to pass the seventh level." A hoarse voice came from the meteorite.

"The controller!" Zhou Yang said.

Snapped!

A piece of rock broke off from the edge of the meteorite and crashed onto the bridge. As it rolled across the bridge, it transformed into a mysterious figure wearing a blue battle suit and a silver mask.

This figure also stood on a flying star disk and carried a dark green, ancient-looking whip on his back.

"A cosmic-level little guy, long time no see. What, are you confident you can defeat me this time?"

The man in blue spoke, his voice hoarse and low.

"Why not give it a try!"

Zhou Yang chuckled softly.

The next second, countless streams of light shot out from the dark green, ancient-looking whip behind him.

For a moment, endless brilliance shone, and strange patterns surged on the emerald green blades, instantly forming a vast green world.

In this green world, streaks of sharp silver blade light crisscross, as if to tear the entire space apart!

The blade's edge flashed, and green light shone brightly, simultaneously activating the fundamental laws of space and the fundamental laws of wood.

"Whoosh!"

The entire scene above the meteorite vanished, leaving only a vast, endless world of gleaming blades!

The sixth level of the Origin Divine Weapon—'World of Weapons'—is complete!

"Significant progress."

The man in blue nodded, his disdain vanishing.

The next moment, countless streams of light flashed behind him, and another 'World of Soldiers' instantly took shape!

"bring it on!"

"kill!"

The man in blue and Zhou Yang both shouted at the same time!

Boom! Boom~~~

The two enormous "worlds of soldiers" collided, instantly unleashing an astonishing force.

Strands of silver blade light continuously collided and struck each other automatically!

However, the silver blade light that Zhou Yang condensed seemed to be significantly larger and more powerful.

Each impact caused the opponent's blade to tremble violently, and even seemed about to shatter!

Just a moment later, the man in blue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"How can your control over the 'World of Soldiers' be so strong!"

"Perhaps it's due to exceptional talent."

Zhou Yang spoke with a faint smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless sharp, incomparably powerful silver blade beams began to form around Zhou Yang.

One, two, three, nine!

Nine silver blade beams floated side by side behind him, with countless secret patterns flowing within them, and an incomparably sharp aura erupting from them!

"What? Nine paths!"

The man in blue was shocked.

As the guardian of the seventh level, he can only condense a wisp of silver blade light at a time.

The opponent actually condensed nine of them at the same time, which was impossible for me to withstand!

"Humans are truly a breed of brilliant minds..."

A low sigh came from beneath the mask from the man in blue.

The next instant, nine dazzling silver blade beams erupted, instantly tearing his figure to shreds.

"call!"

The fog blocking the way gradually dissipated, and the winding bridge continued to extend into the depths of the starry sky.

"We've finally overcome the seventh floor, this major hurdle!"

Zhou Yang smiled excitedly, and with a slight movement, he instantly disappeared into the depths of the long bridge!

……

"It passed!"

On the beautiful central island of the Tongtian Bridge plane, the geniuses and powerful immortals gathered there all exclaimed in surprise.

Although they had some expectations, they still found it hard to believe when this actually happened in front of them.

In particular, these powerful immortals have lived for an extremely long time and have witnessed countless battles of geniuses.

That's why their shock was especially intense!

You should know that Virtual Universe Company holds a Genius Battle every 10,000 years. In each session, only a handful of people can pass the third level within 30 years of coming to Chaos City. On average, only about one person passes the fourth level each session!

On average, only one person can pass through all five levels of the Sky Bridge every thirty sessions.

The class of Zhou Yang and his classmates produced four individuals: Zhou Yang, Bo Lan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun. This class is definitely one of the highest-quality classes in the history of the Genius Battle.

Even so, they couldn't imagine that anyone could pass the seventh level in just 30 years!

It's important to know that there's a major challenge every seven levels of the Sky Bridge, and the difficulty between the sixth and seventh levels is even greater than the combined difficulty of the previous six levels!

Even among those cosmic-level elders who have been in the Virtual Universe Company for hundreds or thousands of years, only a handful can pass through this level!

"This Zhou Yang is definitely a genius that appears only once every million epochs!"

"Lord Kandri has such keen insight..."

Each immortal was filled with awe.

"Huh, he's going to try again? No way..."

On the screen in front of them, Zhou Yang was on the eighth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

A meteorite fell and instantly took the shape of a gatekeeper.

The guardian of this level still uses the sixth level of the Source Divine Weapon, 'World of Weapons,' but has reached the level of 'Doing as One Pleases.'

The released blade light is no longer limited to a single strand, and its location can be changed at will, no longer confined to in front of the body.

Thus, the opponent's attack reached an unpredictable and bizarre level.

Zhou Yang is not yet able to achieve "doing whatever he wants," which is the realm of the blade's own power.

Faced with the opponent's almost ubiquitous attacks, he adopted another method!

Behind Zhou Yang, countless streams of light burst forth, and countless secret patterns and threads intertwined and crisscrossed.

"I can't beat you one-on-one, how about a group fight?"

On the screen, Zhou Yang's lips curled into a sinister smile.

For thirty years in Chaos City, except when he was studying the Chaos Stele, Zhou Yang continuously circulated the "Three Souls Nine Refinements" technique to temper his soul.

He cultivated for three years on his journey, which increased his soul power five or six times.

Now that it has been running continuously for thirty years, just how strong must his soul power have become!

What kind of effect will such powerful soul force have when controlling psychic weapons?

"boom!"

The next second, endless blade light shot into the sky!

One, two... a hundred... a thousand...

One after another, blade beams converged, and in the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand blade beams condensed and took shape around him, hovering in the air.

The incomparably sharp blade energy crisscrossed, its powerful aura almost tearing the entire 'World of Soldiers' apart!

Immediately afterwards, endless blade light erupted, and the entire challenge space was submerged in a white expanse of silver blade energy.

A moment later, the light that had enveloped the entire space gradually subsided.

On the long bridge, only Zhou Yang remained, silently suspended.

But the figure of the gatekeeper had completely disappeared.

"My God! This...this...is this something a cosmic-level little guy could do?!"

On the Tongtian Bridge plane plaza, all the powerful immortals stared wide-eyed.
