The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 38 Spectating the Battle

Deep within the Snow Moon Palace, Li Yang's human form sat atop a leaf of the Snow Moon Tree.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi have already taken the Jade Dew Flower to their rooms in the Snow Moon Palace for seclusion.

For Li Yang, this battle with Zhen Yaozu and Meng Yaozhu has given him many insights into combat techniques, and it's time for him to reflect on them.

……

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

That day, Li Yang was in seclusion when he was suddenly awakened by Xiao Zi: "Master, a genius has emerged in the recent Genius Battle! He already passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge of the Cosmic Chaos Monument 30 years ago in the Initial Universe! He is now preparing to attempt the seventh level!"

"Seventh floor?" Li Yang instantly perked up. There hadn't been such a strong young person in many peak genius battles. Hearing this news made Li Yang's spirits lift!

Li Yang didn't have time to chat with Xiao Zi anymore; his consciousness went directly into the virtual universe "Tongtianqiao Dimension".

Li Yang was naturally watching from the highest platform of the Tongtian Bridge. On the beautiful island in the Tongtian Bridge plane below, many immortal kings stood.

Many of these are immortal beings from the cosmic school. Upon hearing that someone had reached the sixth level and was now attempting the seventh, they all rushed to watch.

Li Yang discovered that there were many acquaintances from his time as a King of Immortality and a Venerable, as well as many Venerables under the command of the Treasure Pavilion.

Of course, there are also some who are just there to join in the fun.

Indeed, it has been a very, very long time since a genius has appeared who could reach the seventh level in just 30 years in the initial universe!

……

"Little Purple, what's this little guy's name?" Li Yang asked.

"Master, this little guy's name is Xingchen!" Xiao Zi replied.

"Hmm," Li Yang nodded, watching the battle intently. Xiao Zi sat on Li Yang's shoulders, also looking serious.

This seventh-level bridge to heaven was located in the boundless starry sky.

Xingchen, dressed in a gray-black battle suit and holding the Divine Weapon of the Universe, gazed at the starry sky ahead with a cold expression.

"I choose the martial artist!" Xingchen declared.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, an opponent wielding the same Divine Weapon appeared on the opposite side of the star!

"Young man, you can challenge me so quickly, your talent is limitless! Come on, I hope you can defeat me and pass this test!" said the martial artist opposite him.

Xingchen's expression was grim; for him, this challenge was no small feat!

Li Yang recalled: "The first image on the Cosmic Chaos Monument corresponds to the first to third levels of the Bridge to Heaven, the second image corresponds to the fourth to sixth levels of the Bridge to Heaven, and the third image corresponds to the seventh to ninth levels of the Bridge to Heaven."

"Back in the initial universe, thirty years ago, I passed the eighth level and was just one step away from comprehending the third diagram and passing the ninth level!"

"If this little guy can pass the seventh level, it means he has fully understood the first two diagrams and has also grasped some understanding of the third!" Li Yang said softly to Xiao Zi. "If he can pass this seventh level, I will accept him as a disciple!"

……

Soon, the battle began!

"Boom!" The warrior from Tongtian Bridge stomped on the ground and charged towards the stars like a tiger descending a mountain.

The two figures converged in the void like two bolts of lightning. "Universal Divine Weapon First Form! Illusionary Wave Axe!" In the void, the two Universal Divine Weapons transformed into countless golden axe blades, intersecting with each other. The space seemed to turn into a lake, and the power of the laws of time and space was amplified tenfold by the power of the golden axe blades!

Both of them were demonstrating their understanding of the laws of space and time.

"Clang clang clang"

In the air, the clash of the two axe blades unleashed a deafening roar. Layer upon layer of metallic clanging sounds erupted, echoing endlessly throughout the heavens and earth.

The clash of axe blades caused time and space to vibrate endlessly...

Soon, the two had exchanged dozens, even hundreds, of blows. It was clear that conventional techniques were insufficient to defeat this martial artist from the Heavenly Bridge, and in the brief moment of their exchange, the two separated.

The martial artist from the Sky Bridge said, "If this is all the strength you have, then you can only stop here!"

Xingchen stared intently at the martial artist on the Tongtian Bridge, knowing that he knew the same standard moves as his opponent and that it was impossible for him to defeat him. So he said, "In that case, I'll show you my strongest move!"

"Universe Divine Weapon Third Form! Heaven-Opening Form!"

The first three diagrams of the Cosmic Chaos Monument describe space and time in detail. Time is a multi-dimensional concept; it is an absolute and uniformly flowing dimension. Space, on the other hand, is an absolutely uniform and unchanging three-dimensional container that exists independently of matter. Even slight fluctuations in these two superordinate laws can have a huge impact on objects, containing infinite mysteries.

There are various ways to affect space, such as spatial blockade, spatial strangulation, and teleportation, while the effects on time include time reversal, time pause, time deceleration, and time acceleration.

Clearly, the Creation Technique requires not only a deep understanding of the laws of time and space in the universe, but also the ability to combine and comprehend them in order to unleash this incredibly powerful move.

A giant axe, carrying the power to create heaven and earth, slashed forward, freezing the space and time in front of it. Its power was like the creation of heaven and earth, and the warriors of the Tongtian Bridge had no way to avoid it and could only take the blow head-on.

As the axe light moved forward, it accelerated and grew larger under the influence of the laws of time and space, even tearing through space and leaving a huge crack.

The latest novel is first published here!

The flow of time around the warrior on the Tongtian Bridge seemed to slow down, but this was just an illusion; in reality, the flow of time in the axe light was accelerating!

He tried to use a secret technique to parry, but unfortunately, when the axe light swept across his body, everything seemed to vanish with the wind, and his figure disappeared into the Tongtian Bridge plane.

"Starry Sky, seventh level of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, passed!"

……

Li Yang watched Xingchen's entire performance and had to admit that Xingchen's comprehension of the laws and control of the secret technique were both impressive, which satisfied Li Yang.

Performing the "Opening Heaven Style" requires not only a certain understanding of the laws of time and space, but also a high level of skill in using secret techniques.

……

The eighth level of the Sky Bridge

Looking at the star standing in the spot where he had once stood, Li Yang couldn't help but recall that tens of thousands of epochs had passed, and now the little guy was standing in the spot where he had stood before!

Soon, a similar martial arts opponent appeared on the opposite side of the star.

With a single movement, the two supreme fundamental laws of time and space were instantly activated, causing a tremendous upheaval in the entire space. In just a moment, enormous waves of time and space formed around them.

The stars were tossed about by the waves, like a small boat tossed on the sea, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

With a "whoosh," the weapon in the Tongtian Bridge warrior's hand was like a beam of light, instantly slicing through the distance between the two.

"boom"

The difference in their understanding of the laws was too great. Xingchen could only barely parry a few moves, and before he could find an opportunity to counterattack, he was overwhelmed by the relentless attacks, which were like a raging river, and his head was cut off.

Xingchen failed to reach the eighth floor of the Tower of Babel and stopped at the seventh floor.
