Lin Yan stood before the Universe Tongtian Bridge, an endless bridge stretching towards the ends of the earth, shrouded in misty white fog, with a boundless ocean below, its waves churning.

The Jingxuan Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Lin Yan gazed intently at the ancient black sword, his calm eyes seeming to transcend time.

"A meteor is dazzling, yet it only stirs up a ripple; the epiphyllum is beautiful, but its beauty lasts only a moment; the mayfly is born in the morning and dies at dusk; the sun and moon revolve, the universe revolves, but I... want to become the eternity of all things."

He raised his head and gazed at the bridge that stretched to the horizon, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "Remember me."

Whoosh!

In an instant, it transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the distant Universe Tongtian Bridge, then quickly disappeared into the distance along the Universe Tongtian Bridge, beginning its journey Tongtian Bridge.

As Lin Yan began to break through the Tongtian Bridge, the Guardian Bafen, started sending out mass emails.

"He crossed the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain feat, in just a few decades. He's hailed as the strongest genius in history. No wonder so many big shots are keeping a close eye on him," the Guardian Bafen muttered. "They all ordered me to notify them as soon as Lin Yan crosses the Tongtian Bridge."

Instantly, dozens of emails were sent out.

This year's Genius Battle is now hailed as the most outstanding in human history.

Bolan's talent was extraordinary, but his original arrogant nature was a flaw that destined him to limit his achievements. However, after deep self-reflection, he gradually changed and became worthy of his title as a genius of "tens of thousands of epochs".

Luo Feng is resilient, extremely talented, and incredibly steadfast in his beliefs, which they find especially valuable, and he will eventually become a super strongman.

As for Rong Jun, he was even more special, so much so that as soon as he entered Chaos City, he was regarded as Supreme Treasure by Universe Country Lord, who vied to take him as their disciple!

The Peak Existence of humankind debated over who had a brighter future, and even placed bets on it!

Those participating in this bet are either "Universe Overlord" like the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace, or even higher-level cosmic lords; the stakes are extremely high.

However, even though these three people are extremely dazzling and would have shone brightly in previous years, they appear dim and lackluster in this year's competition.

This is all because of one person's existence.

Longyu King extended her crystal-clear finger and gently tapped a small area of the screen in the air, where an email appeared.

"Lin Yan has broken through the Tongtian Bridge?"

A hint of a smile appeared in Longyu King's beautiful eyes, "Seventeen years ago, that little guy directly broke through the Original Tongtian Mountain, which caused a huge stir in the Virtual Universe Company. He already left other geniuses far behind, and now he's actually starting to break through the Tongtian Bridge?"

"I'm afraid... everyone is very curious about what methods he used to cross the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain seventeen years ago!"

Longyu King shook his head and chuckled, then immediately headed to the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

At the same time.

True Yan King, King Tong Nan, King Tian Yu... Bei Cang Marquis, a total of over a thousand Immortal God, more than half of whom were at the Feng Wang level and the rest at the Marquis level, all arrived at the Tongtian Bridge Plane after receiving the news.

This lineup is truly awe-inspiring.

Not only the Virtual Universe Company, but also many Immortal God are from other forces of the five major powers, such as the Giant Axe Arena, the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, etc., and they are gathered on the island in the Tongtian Bridge Plane space.

This is an extremely rare scene.

"Haha..." True Yan King looked around and laughed loudly, "Today is truly a grand occasion. Even with my influence, it would be difficult to invite everyone to meet. But Lin Yan is only at the Cosmic level, and he is just about to cross the Tongtian Bridge, yet you all came to watch the live broadcast immediately."

He wasn't lying.

Among them are many super strong individuals who Invincible Feng Wang or at the Feng Wang Limit, holding extremely high positions in various forces, and they are indeed difficult to persuade to join.

"Zhen Yan, what face do you still have left?"

The silver-eyed woman with hazy wings behind her, "Silver Moon King," looked at the burly ape-man in Golden Battle Armor and said sarcastically, "Who doesn't know your fiery temper? You're always ready to fight and kill. You have plenty of enemies, but your reputation is questionable."

"Uh—" True Yan King's expression seemed a little embarrassed.

Although I was very angry, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Many of those here are immortals from the same era as him, and they naturally know Zhen Yan's fiery temper and the tyranny and madness in his bones. He once roamed the universe, killing countless people, before he achieved the title of Invincible Feng Wang.

"Haha..." Many of the King Rank who were familiar with Zhen Yan laughed, and the atmosphere became quite lively for a while.

"I have been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, and I never imagined that such a monstrous talent would emerge from our human race. Naturally, I had to come and see for myself," said an old man dressed in a simple white robe with a smile. "Such a speed of progress is truly incredible."

"Yes."

"Tell me, how did Lin Yan manage to cross the Original Tongtian Mountain back then?" A giant with golden Golden Eye needles laughed. "Moreover, it has been seventeen years since he crossed Tongtian Mountain. Lin Yan is suddenly coming to cross the Tongtian Bridge now. Could it be that he has already comprehended all the essences of time and space?"

"At least one would need the ability to cross the 12th level of the Tongtian Bridge to pass through the Cosmic Level Original Tongtian Mountain, which is of Universe stream. However, Lin Yan belongs to the cosmic school and is also exceptionally good at both telekinetic weapons and close combat." A Snake-tailed Woman wearing a black veil pondered, "Now that seventeen years have passed, it is possible that he has truly comprehended it completely."

"It has only been a hundred years since I joined Virtual Universe Company. If I have already grasped the essence of time and space, such talent is truly terrifying."

"Haha, since it's Lin Yan, it doesn't seem too surprising."

"King Tian Yu, you should know better than anyone the extent of Lin Yan's Law Comprehension."

A large group of King Rank were chatting idly. At this level, many of them had some connections over millions of years, so they were quite casual in their conversation.

King Tian Yu raised his azure eyes, his gaze sweeping over the crowd around him. He did not answer directly, but turned his dazzling figure to look at the live broadcast screen. "The battle is about to begin."

The Immortal God didn't take it seriously and immediately looked at the screen.

On the screen, Lin Yan flew to the end of the 12th Floor of the Tongtian Bridge, countless earth-yellow rays of light flew out from the ground, transforming into mysterious powerful figures wearing Yellow Battle Suit and masks, who quickly engaged Lin Yan in combat.

The battle raged for a moment, then ended.

Conquer the 12th Floor!

"You've already made it through?"

"Although Lin Yan's passage through the Original Tongtian Mountain demonstrates his ability to overcome all 12 levels of the Tongtian Bridge, it was still far too easy."

"Could it be... that after seventeen years, he has already gained the ability to pass the 13th Floor?"

No one answered.

The group of Immortal God couldn't believe that Lin Yan had already gained the ability to pass the 13th Floor in just seventeen years. They thought that Lin Yan had just come to the Tongtian Bridge to test the results of his cultivation.

The 12th to 13th levels of the Tongtian Bridge present a significant challenge, with a substantial increase in difficulty, making it extremely difficult to overcome.

However... Lin Yan has created so many miracles that they are not sure if they already possess this ability.

The Tongtian Bridge spans the cosmos, connecting a planet directly to a star.

Lin Yan quickly flew to the surface of the star.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat one to pass the 13th Floor." A deep, rumbling voice echoed throughout the entire star.

"A martial artist," Lin Yan said calmly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the scorching flames burning on the surface of the star burst into a ball of fire. This ball of fire floated directly above the Tongtian Bridge to heaven and then condensed, transforming into a man in a fiery red battle armor mask, carrying an ancient black battle sword on his back.

"Cosmic level being can actually reach the 13th level of the Tongtian Bridge? The last time was tens of millions of epochs ago." The Flame Battle Armor Man's voice was majestic, and his golden eyes looked at Lin Yan. "An interesting little guy."

"Did they make it through?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.

"The difficulty of the 13th level is incomparable to that of the 12th level; of course, they couldn't pass it at the Cosmic level." The Flame Battle Armor Man smiled. "Little guy... I hope you can do it."

Lin Yan's eyes reflected the endless flames of the star, and he said softly, "Not enough."

"What's not enough?" the Flame Battle Armor Man asked, puzzled.

"I said..." Lin Yan said, word by word, "13 floors are not enough."

The words had barely left his mouth.

"Boom!"

Lin Yan's Origin Force surged rapidly, and then endless flames erupted from his body. The flames suddenly contracted, and black and red light armor automatically spread across his body, making him exude a breathtaking aura.

Body Amplitude! A complete explosion!

Lin Yan instantly increased his Body Amplitude to eight times, and his whole body surged with enormous energy.

In fact.

After Lin Yan mastered the "Black Hole Force Field," he realized the true meaning of "The Primordial Beginning," the core secret technique of "Black Hole Evolution."

All other secret techniques in "Black Hole Evolution" should actually be considered as secret techniques or Combat Secret Technique used in conjunction with "The Primordial Beginning". This is true for the Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body, as well as the Nine Vortex Sword and the Nine Refinements Fist.

Although it can be practiced alone, only by truly mastering the "Primordial Beginning" can one comprehend its most powerful application.

The pure Origin Force was rapidly poured into the Jingxuan Sword in his hand, and he precisely manipulated the complex Law Secret Patterns on the black sword, instantly triggering the two Universe Origin: time and space.

He was as fast as lightning, and in an instant he rushed in front of the man in the Flame Battle Armor!

Whoosh...

The dark sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant, directly cracking open the surrounding Universe Space. The Space Turbulence after the space was shattered was suppressed by the sword light, and the space further away was directly distorted.

"What?" The man in the Flame Battle Armor's pupils contracted.

He, too, wielded Black Broadsword, and thrust forward with lightning speed.

The two black swords clashed instantly!

The Universe Space, which was slightly trembling under the Starfire, suddenly exploded, revealing a huge black hole visible to the naked eye, and many weaker Universe Space were shattered as a result.

"Boom!"

The two were immediately forced back thousands of kilometers, and then, in a flash, they once again clashed and fought in the outer space of the star.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two were evenly matched for a time, but comparatively speaking, Lin Yan's swordsmanship had clearly reached a state of returning to simplicity.

"This is the true Nine Vortex Sword! It contains absolute dominance and absolute will. Even the Universe Space and Space Turbulence must submit to me!" Lin Yan was completely immersed in the trace of Black Hole Conception he had mastered by cultivating the "Black Hole Force Field." Nothing in heaven and earth could rival him!

"Break!"

Lin Yan's cold eyes flashed like lightning, and his sword light was incredibly domineering, seemingly devouring everything and unstoppable. It swept across the starry sky, cutting through space, and at the same time stabbed at his opponent, the Flame Battle Armor Man.

"How is this possible!" The man in the Flame Battle Armor's pupils shrank, and he immediately retreated, while his Jingxuan Sword quickly parried.

"Clang!" The powerful impact traveled through the sword, and his body was sent flying backward.

"Pfft!"

The dark sword light flashed across the body of the Flame Battle Armor, and the body Annihilation into nothingness by the powerful sword energy.

Floor 13!

Pass!

On the Central Island of the Tongtian Bridge Plane, many Immortal God looked up at the live broadcast on the screen, and fell silent for a moment, their eyes filled with horror.

"Oh my god."

"How could this be... How could this be..."

"How did he also learn the 'Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body'?"

Those who were King Rank and Marquis were all dumbfounded.

Previously, they only knew that Lin Yan's improvement speed had exceeded any defined scope, reaching a monstrous existence that was beyond people's imagination and transcended the rules of normal development!

In terms of strength and speed of progress, no one can match them!

But...

"Lin Yan also knows the Body Amplitude Secret Method?" True Yan King was also taken aback. Among the Immortal God present, only a very few knew the Body Amplitude Secret Method.

"And it's the 'Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body,' a secret technique that not just anyone can learn." Silver Moon King looked at the screen and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This little guy comprehends the laws as easily as drinking water, which is one thing, but he actually had this hidden trick up his sleeve.

Anyone would be stunned in this situation!

True Yan King immediately turned his head to look at the tall man beside him, who had two dragon horns and a face covered with crimson dragon scales. "Flame Dragon, isn't this the secret technique you've been learning? Look at what level Lin Yan has reached now?"

"At least the sixth level of cultivation, possibly even higher!" The Flame Dragon King's eyes, which seemed like two tiny stars, were fixed on the screen. "I've only cultivated to the fifth level, reaching a six-fold amplitude!"

The Body Amplitude Secret Method are extremely rare; a vibration amplitude of 3 to 5 times is considered very unusual.

As for the Divine General inheritance, even Universe Venerable vie for this spot, and only a very few King Rank are qualified to do so.

"What?" The other Immortal God around looked at the Flame Dragon King in shock.

How is that possible?

Who is the Flame Dragon King?

Within Chaos City, the Nine Yu lineage has a total of 18 sect leaders. Among these 18 sect leaders, 4 belong to the Virtual Universe Company. Although they are not as powerful as True Yan King, they are still super strong individuals at the Feng Wang Limit.

Lin Yan's mastery of the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" surpasses that of the Flame Dragon King.

At this moment, high in the clouds Tongtian Bridge Plane, 26 figures are strolling through the void.

As a crucial Plane Space in the Virtual Universe for the human race, the Tongtian Bridge Plane is normally impassable, as if an invisible restriction shrouds the entire dimension.

But--

Everyone present is a true high-ranking member and Super Existence in Virtual Universe Company!

"Haha, if Yan Poluo hadn't mentioned the existence of the Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body before, I really wouldn't believe that Lin Yan could pass through the 13th Floor of the Tongtian Bridge." A Universe Venerable dressed in snow-white clothes, exuding a cold aura, whose gender was indistinguishable, smiled.

"Of course I wouldn't talk nonsense," the Flame Crystal Country Lord said calmly, looking down at the Universe Tongtian Bridge beneath the clouds.

"Qianwu, your Universe Country has produced a peerless genius this time. Lin Yan's achievements may not be inferior to yours in the future." A burly man with triangular hair clicked his tongue in admiration while taking big gulps of wine from a strange wine jug.

Beside him, the giant whose face was partially obscured by clouds laughed and said, "His progress is so rapid, his future achievements are immeasurable."

Lin Yan's attempt to cross the Tongtian Bridge not only alarmed a large number of powerful Immortal God, but also piqued the curiosity of many Super Existence among the Universe Venerable.

The Qianwu Country Lord couldn't help but sigh, "As long as Lin Yan doesn't perish, it's without a doubt that he will reach the Peak Feng Wang in the future. Or rather, it might not be difficult for him to even become Universe Venerable. He might even be able to go further."

He remained outwardly calm and composed.

He secretly regretted that he had not taken such a genius as his personal disciple because he was Mental Master Universe Country followed the Time Law.

What a fool I am!

If he had been willing at the time, no one would have competed with him. But he never even considered such a thing. It wasn't until Lin Yan arrived in Chaos City and made a leap to power, attracting the attention of many Super Existence, that he sent an email with a glimmer of hope.

Damn it!

It didn't send!

That's incredibly insulting!

Fortunately, after he learned that Lin Yan had two close fellow disciples cultivating in his Ganwu Secret Realm, he took good care of them in order to leave a good legacy for the future.

Hong and Thunder God Shen were also quite promising, with commendable talents. However, they were far inferior to Lin Yan and Luo Feng, which was a pity for him.

If they were hidden gems, he could take them as his personal disciples, but the talents of Hong and Thunder God would hardly catch the eye of a Universe Country Lord.

Many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Qianwu Country Lord.

Suddenly--

"How is this possible?" Venerable Niu Zhou exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you crazy?!" Bei Ming, Mang Ya and the others exclaimed in shock. Even Yan Jing, the Flame Crystal Country Lord who had reached the level of Universe Overlord, looked down in horror and seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Upon hearing the sound, the Qianwu Country Lord, unaware of what had happened, immediately looked down and his pupils contracted.

"Black Hole Force Field!"

The Universe Tongtian Bridge extends into the interior of a blazing star.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Endless flames surrounded them.

The Flame Battle Armor Man looked at Lin Yan with his golden eyes. "You, Cosmic level being, have made it past the 13th floor. You have a bright future ahead of you. But if you hadn't held back your strength, you would have had no chance of victory."

Lin Yan smiled slightly, "Holding back your strength?"

"I... I think I did do something like that."

As he spoke, Lin Yan's body instantly shot out countless curves shimmering with black light, and beams of light penetrated into the surrounding giant star.

A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted!

The stars began to tremble, and the surging cosmic energy was frantically devoured, instantly forming a bright and dazzling energy vortex. Endless tearing and twisting forces spread out from Lin Yan's body as the core, as if carrying the power of heaven and earth.

"Boom..."

Spacetime itself trembled and twisted under immense gravity.

Lin Yan's figure became incredibly dazzling. He slowly took a step forward, and it seemed as if two stars were burning deep in his eyes.

Whoosh... The surrounding space trembled as a result.

Under the incredulous gazes of many powerful figures, time seemed to stand still forever.

Lin Yan said softly, "Please enlighten me."
