Sword Illusion

On the island in the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

A large crowd had gathered here, but now they were completely silent, staring at the scene on the screen with wide-eyed amazement.

"We really made it!"

Although many people had expected it, seeing this scene in person still stirred their emotions.

"In just thirty years, he has already passed the ninth level! He has completely left behind all the Cosmic level members of the major forces. Those geniuses are also the top geniuses selected from all the Cosmic Humans, and they have undergone various training and cultivated for thousands of years, but in front of him, they can only pale in comparison."

"Moreover, it is quite obvious that none of the opponents on the ninth floor put much pressure on Lin Yan."

It was precisely because they understood the difficulty of the Universe Chaos Stele and the Tongtian Bridge that they felt Lin Yan was even more terrifying.

The Silver Moon King gazed at the screen, his gaze captivating. "This reminds me of the shock he brought us thirty years ago. Over the years, his brilliance remains untarnished."

This is the strongest monster rookie in Human history!

"Could it be... that he can actually get past the Tenth Layer?" someone said.

A group of people immediately refuted this.

"Impossible!"

"How could that be?"

"The Tenth Layer is fundamentally different from the ninth level. It is already at the level of the most ordinary Immortal God. From the ninth to the Tenth Layer, it can be said that... it is more difficult than the first to the ninth level combined!"

"There are ten members of the Virtual Universe Company's Original Secret Realm Domain Lord level. Only one of them has passed the eleventh level, while the other nine are all at the Tenth Layer. They are all the top geniuses cultivated within the Virtual Universe Company. They are still Domain Lord level, yet it still took them tens of thousands of years to pass the Tenth Layer the Tongtian Bridge."

"Lin Yan is taking the route of analyzing the Law essence, and he also uses the Universe Chaos Stele. Although this will be of great help in the later stages, it will take a lot of time in the early stages. How could he possibly pass the Tenth Layer?"

"If Lin Yan were to achieve this in a few years, I wouldn't be surprised, but it's too early to say that now."

"We've reached the ninth floor!"

This group of Immortal God made a very firm conclusion, believing that Lin Yan could only pass the ninth level, or at most a relatively high level within the ninth level. They believed that if he cultivated for several decades or even a hundred years after leaving Chaos City, he might be able to pass.

It's absolutely impossible to pass the Tenth Layer in just thirty years.

Oh my god!

The geniuses standing nearby listened to the discussion of these Immortal God and felt their brains go blank. This was completely beyond the level of the Cosmic level and was being compared with the core geniuses of the Domain Lord level.

This is too numb.

We all came to Chaos City together, and we were all at the first Cosmic level, but your Law Comprehension is already close to immortality.

Hemp within hemp.

However, among this group of immortals, there were some who remained silent.

Those who were at the Feng Wang Limit or Invincible Feng Wang, such as King Tianyi, Silver Moon King Longyu King, watched the screen silently and did not participate in the discussion of others.

Although they also didn't believe Lin Yan could get past the Tenth Layer.

But.

Lin Yan's behavior has always been unpredictable, causing them to become uncertain about things related to Lin Yan, even those things they take for granted.

These so-called impossibilities seem... not so impossibilities to him.

The Tongtian Bridge spans the starry sky and connects directly to the core of a planet.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the Tenth Layer."

The entire planet trembled slightly, emitting a low, rumbling sound.

"A martial artist!" Lin Yan said.

Rumble...

Countless earth-yellow rays of light shot out from all directions of the earth, quickly gathered in mid-air, and instantly transformed into a mysterious powerful figure wearing Yellow Battle Suit and a mask.

His deep eyes stared at Lin Yan as he said, "It's rare for a first-tier Cosmic level to attempt the Tenth Layer since the creation of the Tongtian Bridge Plane, and it's unprecedented in the Universe Tongtian Bridge itself."

"Even if you fail here, don't be discouraged, you have already made history."

His voice was low and devoid of warmth.

"Making history? That sounds interesting." Lin Yan chuckled, then shook his head. "But that's not the history I want to create."

"Oh?" Only a pair of cold, eerie eyes could be seen behind the mask of the man in yellow.

"I will conquer the Tenth Layer!" Lin Yan stared at the man in yellow, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "I will make you fall here."

"Ha!" The man in yellow let out a cold laugh.

"You have no idea how much harder the Tenth Layer is than the ninth floor, little guy... I hope you can hold on a little longer."

Brush!

The man in yellow suddenly stomped on the bridge, his speed exploding instantly, his movements unpredictable, as he charged straight towards Lin Yan.

"Die!" A fierce glint flashed in the cold eyes of the man in yellow!

Laugh!

The moment he closed in on Lin Yan, he drew his sword with lightning speed!

The moment he swung his sword, it was as if invisible threads extended into the surrounding space, causing the Universe Space to seem to freeze and press down on Lin Yan. The Time Flow Rate was also affected, and the two were perfectly harmonious and unified.

The sword's edge carried an irresistible Intent of Destruction, leaving a clearly visible sword mark in the sky!

Boom!

The two swords clashed instantly!

The planet's core trembled slightly, and terrifying sword light materialized, shooting out in all directions, sometimes striking the air, sometimes striking the bridge surface.

The yellow-clad guardian of the 10th floor, compared to the Blue-Clad Man of the 9th floor, can be considered an advanced version of "mastery of the World Power." His sword light is hazy, yet it carries the pressure of the entire universe's spacetime, causing the ripples in the Universe Space to vibrate violently.

The blade is completely invisible to the naked eye.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the heart of this planet, Lin Yan and the man in yellow clashed and fought time and again!

"Break!"

The man in yellow gave a low shout, and a dark sword light flashed past Lin Yan's eyes. Lin Yan's pupils shrank, and his figure turned into a ghostly phantom as he barely dodged the attack.

Lin Yan's mind raced. "If we fight like this, I'm bound to lose."

A basic understanding of the third image of the Universe Chaos Stele is equivalent to the level of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Only by fully comprehending the essence of all the Universe Law in the three images can one pass the 12th Floor.

Lin Yan has comprehended 20 of the 72 most difficult Space essence and 17 of the Time essence. Strictly speaking, he still only has the ability to "Tongtian Bridge" and does not have the ability to pass through the Tenth Layer.

But...

"This is not the whole story of my swordsmanship," Lin Yan thought to himself.

Brush!

Under the pressure of the surrounding space, tens of thousands of Lin Yan suddenly appeared, communicating with the time and Space Law of the Universe Origin. Countless Phantom Body flickered continuously, making Lin Yan seem like ghosts, impossible to defend against.

"That won't work on me." The man in yellow smiled coldly.

But Lin Yan's answer to him was—

Laugh!

The sword energy resounded!

Lin Yan unleashed the secret technique "Desirelessness," and a divine light flashed in his eyes, his black eyes seemingly possessing a strange magic.

"Hmm?" The man in yellow's pupils contracted.

"This is..."

The world was quiet and still.

The surrounding space instantly transformed into a black forest world. Within this endless black forest, there were countless Lin Yan, and at a glance, billions of Lin Yan stood in various places.

"This is the prototype of my 'Sword Illusion'."

A soft voice sounded.

One of them, Lin Yan, stood in the void, his expression ethereal and indifferent, his cold and aloof figure like that of a god or demon, as if he were the ruler of this black forest.

Lin Yan's plan for martial arts has always been "Illusion Warrior Path". Whether it is Will and Consciousness, Soul Amplitude, or research on illusion techniques, these are his unique advantages. Being able to integrate them into his martial arts training will definitely achieve amazing results.

Although his Law Comprehension is somewhat lacking, he can make up for it in other aspects.

The black forest trembled as if it were a huge, terrifying beast, and countless Leaf Vine enveloped it.

"Sword Illusion?" The man in yellow stared in horror at what he saw. "How could this be an illusion?"

He couldn't see any trace of illusion in what he was seeing.

"Laugh!"

Countless sword lights burst forth from all parts of the man in yellow's body. His consciousness was lost in the illusion, and he had no power to resist Lin Yan.

The corpse exploded into a bloody mist.

10th floor!

Pass!

"I have been cultivating the 'Desireless' secret technique for so long, and I have fully digested the effects of the Nine-Colored Eye Fruit and the Chaos True Spirit. My Psionic Amplitude has reached 1500 times, and I used 900 times, so I easily killed the gatekeeper of the 10th floor."

Lin Yan's eyes remained calm.

Even if he only devoted a small portion of his consciousness to cultivating the "Desireless" secret technique over 30 years, he still reached his soul limit in the 16th year. After that, even with a deeper Law Comprehension and his consciousness being influenced by the Origin Law, his progress was very limited.

Even so, his Psionic Amplitude reached 1500 times, which is 15 times in terms of Soul Amplitude.

Without special secret techniques or treasures, the perfect limit that World Lord peak can reach is only 100 times the Psionic Amplitude.

His will was already extremely strong, and with the added boost of 9 times the Soul Amplitude, the guardian of the 10th floor was instantly trapped in his "Sword Illusion".

The "World Power" also plays a role in this.

The "Illusion Warrior Path" that Lin Yan experimented with in the Genius Battle was too rudimentary. Once he could unleash the World Power, it underwent a fundamental change.

But--

The reason why "Sword Illusion" is called a prototype by him is because it is a secret technique that Lin Yan created for himself. He did not spend much time on it, and it is still quite rudimentary. It will have to wait until later to become a truly exquisite secret technique.
