Ten years gone by

Having broken through to the Universe Level, Yang Wu quickly adjusted his mindset, stopped worrying about gains and losses, and began hunting Chaos Beast outside Chaos City with Qian Shui.

With Yang Wu's newfound realm and Law Comprehension, coupled with the assistance of the Metal Lifeform 'Kashi,' hunting these Universe Level Chaos Beast was naturally an easy task.

After about three months, Yang Wu felt that his soul was completely saturated, and it was no longer useful to continue absorbing the Chaos True Spirit.

Afterwards, Yang Wu returned directly to Chaos City to devote himself to cultivation.

Time flies like water, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past decade, all the geniuses in Yang Wu's generation of the Genius Battle have made great progress.

Of all the surviving geniuses, the last one to pass through the first level of the Heavenly Bridge was also within four years of arriving in Chaos City.

However, the second level of the Heavenly Bridge is far more difficult than the first level.

Therefore, even after ten years, only a few truly top geniuses have passed through the second level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Among the geniuses who passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge, Bolan successfully passed the sixth level in the ninth year after entering Chaos City Heavenly Bridge, thus catching up with Yang Wu's progress.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, successfully comprehended the first essence of the Origin Law of Space in the eighth year. He then passed through the third level of the Heavenly Bridge and became a disciple of King Zhenyan, a grandmaster of the Nine Universe Lineage, thus beginning his even longer cultivation journey.

The two who made the most progress were Rong Jun and Qian Shui, who passed the second level of the Heavenly Bridge in the third and fifth years, respectively.

Besides these four, five other geniuses also made it through the second level of the Heavenly Bridge over the past ten years.

These five people are... Gusiluo, Long Yun, Galesi, Tao, and Wuka.

All the geniuses were progressing rapidly, but what about Yang Wu, who initially received countless eyes on him?

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain.

In the training grounds within Yang Wu Manor in the Primal Region.

"The scene is simulated as a starry sky!"

At Yang Wu's command, the Auxiliary AI Chi Yan in his mind immediately began to act, and then the scene in the entire training ground changed, transforming into an incomparably vast universe.

Holding the crimson Overlord Spear and wearing the Flame Sun Boots, Yang Wu hovered in the starry sky, gazing ahead.

"Myriad Stars Filling the Sky!" Yang Wu shouted in a low voice.

Instantly, crimson threads began to appear on the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand. The dense threads converged and connected under the impetus of Yang Wu's Origin Force, eventually forming a strange secret pattern at the tip of the Overlord Spear.

"Go!"

Yang Wu held the Overlord Spear and pointed it at a huge star in front of him. Instantly, crimson spear light began to burst forth from the strange runes.

The countless spear beams converged and dispersed at times, spanning a distance of tens of thousands of meters, and instantly collided with that dazzling star.

Rumble!

With a deafening roar, the entire star was instantly reduced to dust by the bombardment of countless spear beams, which then drifted away in the cosmic sky.

Even some small planets in the vicinity exploded under the powerful shockwave, turning into interstellar dust as well.

"I have fully comprehended all 36 mysteries within the second Drizzle Diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the Fine Rain. The power of the fifth level of the Overlord Spear technique has reached its limit!"

Yang Wu gazed intently at the distant starry sky, but he was still not satisfied. "But this is not enough!"

"World Energy, unleash it!"

Yang Wu shouted and began to activate the sixth level of spear technique secret runes contained within the Overlord Spear.

Wow!

Countless crimson rays burst forth from the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand, and for a moment the entire starry sky was ablaze with crimson light.

The countless crimson rays caused the surrounding space to shift, triggering the Origin Law of Space and Origin Law of Fire. Subsequently, the countless crimson rays connected with each other, forming crimson threads.

These countless crimson threads slowly converged around the Overlord Spear, eventually forming a dragon-shaped phantom.

"Hold head high..."

The dragon-shaped phantom let out a low roar and then circled around Yang Wu's body.

This move, once unleashed, can change the very heavens and earth; it is the sixth level of the Overlord Spear – Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss.

Yang Wu was surrounded by a dragon-shaped phantom containing the World Energy, and every move he made was full of infinite power!

Boom!

Yang Wu pointed his spear, and a Crimson Spear Light shot out, directly striking a giant planet tens of thousands of meters away.

In an instant, the planet was reduced to dust by the crimson light, scattering in all directions.

However, the dragon-shaped phantom surrounding Yang Wu's body was also trembling, and then it completely dissipated as if its power had been exhausted.

"This sixth level of the Overlord Spear is indeed infinitely powerful!"

Yang Wu couldn't help but lament, "What a pity, it only lasted for two or three seconds before it completely dissipated!"

"Fortunately, once I grasp even a fraction of the essence of the third Rainstorm Diagram, this 'Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss' technique will likely be able to be maintained for even longer!"

The Overlord Spear Nine-Level Spear Technique is extremely difficult to master at each level.

Yang Wu did have experience using the sixth level of spear technique in the Simulator, but that was when he was at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage.

Right now, Yang Wu is only at the first level of the Universe Level! In terms of energy alone, the difference is tens of thousands of times greater.

Of course, the Overlord Spear technique places more emphasis on the Law Comprehension. Even at the Star Level, as long as the Law Comprehension is high enough, it can still be used. However, if the Law Comprehension is insufficient, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of times more energy to successfully execute it.

Over the past decade, Yang Wu's understanding of the Law of Space has greatly improved. Just yesterday, Yang Wu had completely comprehended the 36 mysteries contained in the second picture of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele Drizzle Diagram.

In fact, four years ago, Yang Wu had already comprehended the other five mysteries with the help of the Chaos Stele, but he encountered great difficulties when comprehending the last one.

As soon as Yang Wu begins to comprehend this last profound mystery, he will be interfered with by the other mysteries that he has already fully mastered.

Fortunately, Yang Wu had far too many treasures to aid his cultivation.

The purchase of over ten basic secret techniques, including "Lieyan" and "Piaoxue," cost Yang Wu nearly ten thousand points.

The first three volumes of "Space-Time Essays" cost Yang Wu a total of 100,000 points. If he hadn't passed through the first six levels of the Heavenly Bridge and obtained 63,000 points, he probably wouldn't have been able to afford even these manuals.

All the mysteries within the second Drizzle Diagram that Master Yang Wu, the Nine Sword Venerable, demonstrated for Yang Wu;

And most importantly, the number of times one comprehends the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

With a confluence of factors, Yang Wu finally comprehended all the mysteries within the second Drizzle Diagram four years later. From then on, Drizzle Diagram held no secrets for Yang Wu whatsoever.

However, Yang Wu has already used up all six opportunities he gained from crossing the Heavenly Bridge to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

"Now that I have fully comprehended the Second Diagram, it's time to go to my teacher and ask about cultivating the third picture!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although Yang Wu already possesses the third volume of <Space-Time Essays>, it would be easy for him to grasp even a superficial understanding of the Rainstorm Diagram. However, if the Nine Sword Venerable could provide guidance, the process would undoubtedly be accelerated even faster.

Just as Yang Wu was pondering this, a lean old man dressed in a fiery red robe appeared beside Yang Wu.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu greeted him quickly.

This lean old man was the Marquis of Marquis Lihuo Yang Wu, Marquis-level Immortal who was sent by the Nine Sword Venerable to teach Yang Wu after Yang Wu became his disciple.

The Marquis Lihuo achieved Immortal through the Law of Fire, and his understanding and application of these Law of Fire have reached an astonishing level.

Under the tutelage of Marquis Lihuo, Yang Wu's understanding of the Law of Fire over the past ten years has been in no way inferior to that of the Origin Law of Space; otherwise, he would not have been able to barely unleash the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique.

After all, the application of the Overlord Spear requires a higher level of understanding of the Law of Fire than the Law of Space.

"Yang Wu, I never imagined you could already use the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique!" Marquis Lihuo exclaimed from the side.

In fact, although Yang Wu has made great progress in the Law of Fire during this period, he is not entirely satisfied with his Marquis Lihuo.

In his view, a genius like Yang Wu should have made even more astonishing progress in cultivating Lower Law like the Law of Fire.

Seeing this scene before him, Marquis Lihuo finally understood Wei He Yang Wu's speed in comprehending the Law of Fire was relatively slow.

This is because Yang Wu devoted more of his time to comprehending the Law of Space.

Marquis Lihuo was once a genius among the Four Great Secret Realms of the Virtual Universe Company, but even at his highest ranking, he was only a member of the Taichu Secret Realm. After achieving Immortal, he cultivated for countless years before barely possessing the strength he has now at the Peak Marquis Level.

Therefore, Marquis Lihuo clearly understood what it meant to be able to unleash the sixth level of the Overlord Spear Technique at the Universe Level.

That signifies that Yang Wu has begun to comprehend the third image of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

Moreover, Marquis Lihuo knew that Yang Wu was taking the route of analyzing the Law Essence. The prerequisite for taking this extremely difficult route and comprehending the third diagram was to fully understand the 36 Space Essence contained in the Second Diagram.

This is something that even the Marquis Lihuo has not yet accomplished!

"I was just lucky!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

"No wonder the Venerable values you so highly!" Marquis Lihuo couldn't help but exclaim, "In just ten years, you have comprehended all 36 essential aspects of the Law of Space. Such astonishing cultivation speed truly makes you a peerless genius, appearing only once every hundreds of thousands of epochs!"

"I am able to unleash the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique thanks to my teacher's guidance over this period of time!" Yang Wu said modestly.

"Hmm!" Marquis Lihuo nodded in satisfaction after hearing Yang Wu's words.

He came here to teach Yang Wu under orders, and seeing Yang Wu's respect for him, he was naturally very pleased.

If Yang Wu hadn't been so talented, Marquis Lihuo probably would have taken him on as his personal disciple.

However, Marquis Lihuo also knew that it was unlikely that a peerless genius like Yang Wu, whom even Venerable would vie to take as a disciple, would become a Marquis Level Immortal as his master.

I was quite nervous after finishing the previous chapter today, as I've seen most of the comments.

Book friend Situ Huanyue's suggestion is excellent. After the breakthrough, the protagonist should earn a small profit, which would make everyone less unhappy, and the subsequent leveling up would be more natural. I really didn't expect this before, and it will be reflected in the next simulation, most likely by increasing the simulation time (if you have any good suggestions, please leave a comment).

As for the breakthrough through absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, I personally believe that the Chaos True Spirit represents a qualitative change, while the transition from the first to the ninth rank is a quantitative accumulation and a transformation of the soul, leading to the breakthrough of a peak ninth-rank Star Level Spiritual Master to the Universe Level.

What I wrote also involved breaking through with Spiritual Force first.

As for the invincible protagonist, I don't know if it counts. In my outline, the protagonist should always be the strongest genius in humankind.
