Chaos City.

In a remote area, there is a very large but simple mansion.

In the living room of the mansion, the Nine Swords Venerable was sitting opposite a kind-looking, three-eyed old man.

The three-eyed old man was none other than "Kandri," the guardian who had created 52 clones to protect the Chaos Stele.

The two Super Existence were drinking fruit wine and chatting when suddenly the Nine Swords Venerable frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Kandri raised an eyebrow.

"It's nothing." Nine Swords Venerable shook his head. "Among the new batch of geniuses in our Virtual Universe Company, Rong Jun, who was taken as a disciple by Yuan Chen, has passed the fourth level of the Tongtian Bridge."

"The fourth level? Not bad, very good." Kandri praised, "Very few Genius Battle who are new to Chaos City can pass the fourth level in the past thirty years."

"That's not all." The Nine Swords Venerable revealed a slight smile.

"Bolan passed the seventh level, and Luo Feng passed the sixth level. Compared with them, Rong Jun's performance was much inferior."

"Bolan chose the 'Universe Chaos Stele,' and reaching the seventh level is no easy feat."

"But if we're really talking about progress, Luo Feng has made more progress Bolan in the last 30 years!"

On average, only one person out of every thirty Genius Battle will pass the fifth level, and in the past ten million years, not a single person has passed the sixth level.

As for the seventh floor.

Even among Core Member have cultivated in the Primordial and Primordial Beginning Secret Realm for thousands of years, this is already a very high level.

"Nine Swords..."

Kandri couldn't help but exclaim, "Your luck is truly beyond words. When other Venerables preside over the Genius Battle, it's rare to even encounter a genius at the level of Rong Jun. Yet this batch of newcomers is so outstanding."

"They might become your right-hand men in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable smiled.

After a while, he let out a low sigh.

"It's a pity that the most outstanding Lin Yan has already been taken as a disciple by the Mu Xing Country Lord. The 'Universe Chaos Stele' is arguably the most difficult Chaos Stele. How difficult is it to control time and space at the same time? Neither you nor I can do it."

"Bolan tried for a short time and could only decide to focus on space."

"But Lin Yan not only keeps pace with the times, but also takes the route of analyzing the Law essence. His ambition and talent are truly unbelievable."

"To be honest, even Ke Di back then couldn't match his speed of progress."

Such a genius, once he grows up, it's not difficult for him to reach the level of True Yan King, and he might even cross the threshold of Universe Venerable.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

"Don't be so ungrateful," Kandri said with a laugh. "If Lin Yan, the other Venerables would be green with envy."

The Nine Swords Venerable was just talking.

He doesn't have the ability to snatch her disciple from the Mu Xing Country Lord.

"Kandri, do you know why the Chaos City Lord retracted everyone else's emails?" This matter had been puzzling the Nine Swords Venerable. "Is there some other secret behind this?"

"My information is not as good as yours, so it's pointless for you to ask me," Kandri shook his head and said. "But since this is the city lord's decision, you shouldn't investigate it too much, Nine Swords."

"That's true." Nine Swords Venerable nodded.

At that moment, he let out a soft "hmm".

Nine Swords Venerable's eyes lit up. "Lin Yan has also started to challenge the Tongtian Bridge. I wonder if he can pass the ninth level now."

"The ninth level?" The three-eyed old man was also full of anticipation and curiosity. "Since the establishment of Chaos City, there have been very few people in the Human History who have been able to achieve this, and there is not even one 'Universe stream' among them."

The Nine Swords Venerable seemed more confident. "After all, it's Lin Yan this time, he should be able to do it."

The virtual Universe Tongtian Bridge dimension.

Lin Yan appeared on the Central Island. His gaze swept around and he saw several other figures around him. They were other newcomers from the same batch as him, who wanted to try their luck one last time before leaving Chaos City.

However, the vast majority have already made it through, and there aren't many people left.

"It's Lin Yan."

"Lin Yan is finally about to break through the Tongtian Bridge!"

"He cleared the seventh level in his third year. I wonder how strong he is now!"

Those geniuses seemed quite excited when they saw Lin Yan appear, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.

For this group of newcomers, there was undoubtedly great anticipation and curiosity about how far Lin Yan could go.

Lin Yan glanced at them, nodded slightly, and then walked to the side of the Guardian Bafen.

"Lord Guardian."

"Lin Yan, the Universe Tongtian Bridge is empty right now, you can just walk through." Seeing Lin Yan approach, the Guardian Bafen, wearing Black Star Robe, smiled.

"OK."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, then streaked across the sky and flew directly towards the distant Universe Tongtian Bridge.

The other geniuses who witnessed this scene exchanged glances, and the news of Lin Yan's breakthrough on the Tongtian Bridge was immediately spread among them.

Just for a moment.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the center of that beautiful island, figures appeared one after another. Soon, Bolan, Qian Shui, Ai Chen, Rong Jun, Luo Feng and others entered the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

"What? Didn't you just cross the Tongtian Bridge? Why are you all here?" Guardian Bafen looked at them with a smile.

Of the other 820 newcomers in this batch, apart from a dozen or so who were studying the Chaos Stele, they all came after hearing that Lin Yan was breaking through the Tongtian Bridge.

"Lord Guardian, we've only heard that Lin Yan is attempting to cross the Tongtian Bridge, so we want to see just how far he can go," Rong Jun said.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Uka asked with a smile, "Lord Watcher, may we watch Lin Yan's battle live?"

The other geniuses were all immediately impressed.

It would be great to be able to watch Lin Yan's battle live.

The Guardian Bafen, hesitated. "Without Lin Yan's consent, it's not convenient for me to do this."

Everyone was immediately disappointed.

At this moment—

"Bafen, let them see it." The Longyu King, dressed in azure armor and with flowing purple hair, also appeared here, glanced at the many geniuses, and gave the order.

A strange smile appeared on the exquisite face of the Longyu King.

She had learned about Lin Yan's cultivation progress from Zhen Yan and Tong Nan; these little guys were really asking for trouble.

"Yes!" Upon hearing the order from Longyu King, the Guardian Bafen waved his hand, and a huge screen immediately appeared in front of him. The screen showed an image of Lin Yan into a stream of light and rushing towards the end of the eighth floor.

Boom!

One after another, incredibly powerful Immortal God appeared, and the usually silent Tongtian Bridge Plane became noisy.

"Haha..." The burly ape-man in Golden Armor looked around and laughed loudly, "What a coincidence, everyone! Lin Yan has already been accepted as a disciple by the Mu Xing Country Lord, why are you still here?"

The silver-eyed woman with hazy wings behind her, known as the "Silver Moon King," chuckled, "I witnessed Lin Yan's breakthrough across the Tongtian Bridge when he first entered Chaos City. Now that he is about to leave, he is testing the results of his thirty years of cultivation. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity?"

"Furthermore, Zhen Yan, don't think that only you and Tong Nan guided his cultivation. Lin Yan comes from our 'Universe Lineage' and has listened to our lectures. Of course, I want to see the strength of the strongest genius in our Universe Lineage."

The Immortal God began to chat and laugh.

In a short time.

There were more than 300 Immortal God who came to the Tongtian Bridge Plane, far more than 30 years ago, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Now that Lin Yan has been accepted as a disciple by the Mu Xing Country Lord, they are no longer acting on the orders of the Venerables, but simply out of their own curiosity.

This is Lin Yan.

They are also very much looking forward to seeing how much progress has been made in the past thirty years.

And on the side.

Although the Immortal God intentionally restrained their aura, the eight hundred or so geniuses dared not utter a sound upon witnessing this scene.

This...

It was just a simple crossing of the Tongtian Bridge, yet such a huge commotion occurred, attracting so many powerful immortal beings to watch the live stream!

That's incredible.

In particular, many of these people are recognizable to this group of geniuses.

Silver Moon King, True Yan King, King Tianyi, Sword King... these are all Grandmaster among the immortals. Even if someone breaks through the third level, it is difficult to catch their eye. Only the most outstanding geniuses have the possibility of becoming their disciples.

It was obvious that they were all paying attention to Lin Yan.

The group of geniuses were suddenly shaken, overwhelmed with shock.

Is this the extent of Lin Yan's influence?

At this moment.

The hoarse voice of the Snake-tailed Woman dressed in black gauze, "Black Mist King," interrupted their thoughts, "Stop talking, watch the live stream, the battle is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, all 342 Immortal God and 806 geniuses looked at the screen, which Lin Yan had already flown to the end of the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"The eighth floor shouldn't be too difficult."

"Um."

Some Immortal God commented softly, but their voices fell silent once the battle began.

The Universe Tongtian Bridge.

The eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge is in the infinite starry sky.

The bridge extends directly into the starry sky. At the end of this eighth-level Tongtian Bridge, a small meteorite several kilometers in diameter is suspended. Lin Yan, dressed in black battle armor, is standing on the bridge, looking at the meteorite suspended in front of him.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the eighth level." A hoarse voice came from the meteorite.

"A martial artist," Lin Yan said calmly.

Call!

A rock broke off from the edge of the meteorite and crashed onto the bridge. As it rolled across the bridge, it transformed into a warrior wearing blue armor and a silver mask, wielding two swords.

"A young man at the first Cosmic level, it has been twenty-seven years since I last saw you." The Blue-Clad Man's voice was aged.

"Are you ready to get past me this time?"

Clang!

A sword rang out.

Lin Yan remained calm and said, "Last time I stopped here, but this time, you can't withstand a single sword strike from me."

"Heh." The Blue-Clad Man sneered, "Let me see how much you've improved to dare to spout such big words."

Boom!

The Blue-Clad Man's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the two swords in his hands instantly drew upon the powerful World Power, forming endless Leaf Vine that coiled around Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's cold gaze was like lightning.

"Die." His figure was ghostly, his movements following nine twisting trajectories, like a distorted black lightning bolt.

Phantom Shadow Illusionary Body!

After combining various Mysteries of Laws, the method of application has also changed, and the instantaneous burst speed is faster. When the endless Leaf Vine cover it, the Qingsuo Sword instantly transforms into a dazzling sword light!

"Whoosh!"

This dazzling sword light was incredibly condensed, almost tangible, with the pale blue sword tip gleaming faintly, its sword energy tearing through the sky.

It instantly and utterly crushed Strangulation those Leaf Vine.

"This... how is this possible!" The Blue-Clad Man exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Boom!

The pale blue sword tip ripped the Blue-Clad Man apart, blood splattered, and his mangled body fell onto the Tongtian Bridge.

Lin Yan stepped forward, looked at the corpse of the Blue-Clad Man, and said softly, "I told you, you can't withstand one of my sword strikes."

Eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, passed!

Lin Yan did not linger and flew towards the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"It was so easy?"

"That's terrifying!"

"The best achievement of a Cosmic level member of the Original Secret Realm is passing the eighth level, which is the result of thousands of years of cultivation. But Lin Yan killed his opponent with just one sword strike!"

"Judging from his performance, even the ninth level wouldn't be a challenge for him. He's a monster, a true monster!"

The Immortal God were somewhat astonished. They believed Lin Yan could pass the test, but they did not expect him to do so with such ease!

The end of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"To be able to attempt the ninth level at the first Cosmic level, your excellence astounds me." The Blue-Clad Man held two swords, his eyes behind the mask showing a hint of regret. "But, this is where it ends."

"Currently, none of the Virtual Universe Company Cosmic level members can get through this hurdle."

"You don't need to say things like that anymore," Lin Yan said with a light laugh. "Because I'm here."

"Haha." The Blue-Clad Man laughed loudly, "It's good to have confidence, but I'm much stronger than that guy on the eighth floor. Young man, you still need to know your own limitations."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. "Come on."

Boom!

Boom!

Lin Yan and the Blue-Clad Man drew their swords simultaneously, instantly triggering the two Origin Law of space and time. Powerful law fluctuations surrounded the Law of Wood and Law of Light, creating perfect harmony as they merged together.

Moment!

The space itself trembled.

The Universe Chaos Stele is ultimately a path of cultivation that combines time and space. Lin Yan was actually lacking in this aspect before, so the requirements for comprehending the laws are even higher when passing through the Tongtian Bridge.

But these years...

He purchased the first three volumes of "The Chaos Principle" corresponding to the Universe Chaos Stele, studied them in depth, fully understood the first two diagrams, and had a basic grasp of the third diagram. Naturally, he no longer had any shortcomings in this area.

By using Law weapon to communicate with the Universe Origin Law, and combining the power of these laws, the Origin Energy of the Primordial Universe can be drawn in, thus achieving a combination of time and space.

Achieving this is not easy, especially reaching a stable state of integration, which generally requires Law Comprehension of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"You're doomed!" the Blue-Clad Man hissed.

Lin Yan remained silent, his eyes cold.

Boom!

The two instantly engaged in battle on the Tongtian Bridge. Their swordplay carried the power of heaven and earth, and the clash of their swords seemed to condense the collision of two worlds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Yan and the man in Blue-Clad Man both possessed swordsmanship that had reached an unparalleled level, as fast as lightning and unpredictable. The surrounding space seemed to be manipulated, with an invisible spatial force pressing down on the surrounding area, and the Time Flow Rate was also subtly changing.

"This..."

"Just how far has his Law Comprehension reached?!" All the geniuses watching the live stream were shocked, holding their breath as they watched the battle on the screen.

Bolan's eyes widened; even he found this level of combat unbelievable.

This wasn't a battle between first-tier Cosmic level, but rather a battle between two World Master —this absurd idea surfaced in his mind.

What's even more terrifying is that even among World Master, only a very small number can reach this level of Law Comprehension.

That's terrifying!

After exchanging blows for quite some time, Lin Yan figured out his opponent's tactics. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a low shout.

"Combine!"

Lin Yan channeled his Origin Force into the two swords in his hands, precisely manipulating the complex Law Secret Patterns on the blades. During a break in the battle with the Blue-Clad Man, a faint, semi-transparent crystal outline seemed to appear on the swords.

Wow!

Indestructible and unstoppable!

Lin Yan's twin swords trembled, instantly unleashing countless sword strikes that distorted the surrounding space, yet converged into a single sword light. This sword light followed the most exquisite curve of the Universe Space, seemingly sweeping across the most precise "gap" of spatial ripples.

"Call out!"

With that one sword strike, time seemed to freeze for a moment!

The semi-transparent Crystal Greatsword pierced through the Blue-Clad Man's body in an instant, leaving Blue-Clad Man no time to react.

"Hiss..."

Sword energy surged like a tide!

Countless powerful sword energies instantly shattered the Blue-Clad Man's body into countless fragments.

The ninth floor!

Pass!

Rumble...

The bridge, which had already reached its end, continued to extend outwards into the starry sky. The 7th to 9th levels of the Tongtian Bridge are in the starry sky, while the 10th to 12th levels are inside a planet.

"The Tenth Layer!" Lin Yan looked at the endless bridge and the planet that this Tongtian Bridge led to, his eyes bright and he smiled slightly.

Call!

It then soared into the sky, flying along the Tongtian Bridge, heading towards the end of the Tenth Layer of the Tongtian Bridge!

Thanks for the 9,500-point reward for wishing that I would never tire of candlelight windows, xiaoxiao Snoopy for the 100-point reward, and Xiaolao for the 100-book reward.
