The Seventh Level of the Heavenly Bridge
The Initial Universe, Chaos City.
As one of the most important Holy Land for the entire Human Race, it has existed for countless ages, and a mere ten years is simply not enough time to bring about any change.
Chaos City was still shrouded in a large amount of Chaos energy, and countless cultivators were still meditating on the rooftops of their residences.
If someone were to observe the entire Chaos City, they would find that even after ten years, most of the cultivators within the Chaos City have not moved an inch.
On the rooftop of one of the residences, a man and a woman sat cross-legged in meditation; they were Yang Wu and Qian Shui.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Yang Wu received guidance on the third Rainstorm Diagram from the Nine Sword Venerable.
During these six months, Yang Wu dared not slack off in the slightest, constantly studying the third volume of "Space-Time Essays" and the Rainstorm Diagram pointed out by the Nine Sword Venerable, in addition to the memory of the third diagram of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele in Yang Wu's mind, which corroborated each other.
Furthermore, Yang Wu would occasionally visit the Nine Universe Lineage masters in Chaos City to attend their lectures.
Finally, after half a year, Yang Wu managed to grasp some of the basics of the third picture.
If other geniuses who have mastered the second Drizzle Diagram to perfection were to try to comprehend this third Rainstorm Diagram, it would probably take them hundreds of years to even begin to grasp its essence.
But Yang Wu was different. He had completely grasped the 36 Space Essence contained in the second Drizzle Diagram, which was equivalent to understanding the Second Diagram to a score of 150. His foundation was extremely solid, so it was naturally easier for him to understand the third Rainstorm Diagram.
While it may be difficult to fully comprehend Rainstorm Diagram, it is incredibly easy to grasp even a basic understanding of it.
"I can now reliably maintain the Overlord Spear, 'Hidden Dragon Crouching in the Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss.' Coupled with the rich combat experience I gained from the Simulator, I should be able to pass the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge!" Yang Wu thought to himself.
Generally speaking, to reliably execute the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique, "Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss," one needs to have a certain level of understanding of the third painting, "Rainstorm Diagram." Yang Wu, however, has only grasped the basics.
However, Yang Wu's foundation was extremely solid. Even before he had comprehended the Rainstorm Diagram, he was already able to barely perform the 'Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss' technique. Now, he had even grasped some of the basics of the Rainstorm Diagram, so he was naturally able to stably perform the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique.
"Give it a try!"
With a thought, Yang Wu immediately entered the Virtual Universe and began the teleportation process.
Virtual Universe, the Heavenly Bridge Plane.
On that beautiful Central Island, several figures were crossing the Heavenly Bridge.
The Guardian Bafen, dressed in a black Star Robe, was quite surprised to see Yang Wu appear out of nowhere.
He had a very deep impression of Yang Wu, who had just passed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge a few years ago.
"Yang Wu, it's been almost ten years since you last crossed the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, hasn't it?" the Guardian Bafen, asked with a smile.
"Guardian!" Yang Wu greeted him with a slight bow.
"Yang Wu, are you already confident you can pass the seventh level?" Bafen asked, somewhat surprised.
He has been guarding this Heavenly Bridge Plane for countless years, and the sixth and seventh levels of each Heavenly Bridge are extremely difficult challenges.
Although Yang Wu has good talent, he has taken the path of analyzing the Law Essence. In just ten years, even in Chaos City, Bafen felt that it was unlikely that Yang Wu could pass the seventh level.
"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded gently.
"Yang Wu, you seem very confident!" Bafen said with a smile. "There's no one on the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge right now, Yang Wu, you can go and try it directly. I hope you can make it!"
"Then I thank you for your kind words, Guardian!"
Yang Wu smiled slightly, then transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and rushed directly towards the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge not far away. He then advanced along the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge layer by layer, rapidly deepening his ascent.
A moment later, Yang Wu arrived at the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.
This is an endless starry sky, Heavenly Bridge extends directly into the depths of the starry sky. At the end of the seventh level, a small meteorite with a diameter of several kilometers is suspended.
After Yang Wu, dressed in dark gold battle armor, appeared, a deep voice came from the meteorite.
"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat them to advance to the seventh level!"
"A martial artist!" Yang Wu quickly made his choice.
Snap!
A Stone broke off at the edge of the meteorite, fell onto the bridge, and rolled toward Yang Wu.
After rolling a distance, the Stone transformed into a warrior dressed in blue battle armor, wearing Flame Sun Boots, and wielding a crimson Overlord Spear.
"Young man, you've come again!" the old voice of the Blue-Clad Man rang out.
"If I'm confident I'll pass, of course I'll come!" Yang Wu said with a smile.
"Arrogant!" the Blue-Clad Man hissed. "Young man, you don't think that just because you've broken through to the Universe Level, you can pass this seventh level, do you?"
Boom!
The Blue-Clad Man simultaneously unleashed his own aura, which was the same as Yang Wu's —a first-tier Universe Level.
"Of course not!" Yang Wu shook his head; he certainly didn't think so.
The most important aspect of the Heavenly Bridge test is the challenger's Law Comprehension.
Of course, willpower, Body Amplitude, Soul Amplitude, and esoteric techniques also play a role.
However, physical fitness is the only thing that has absolutely nothing to do with passing the level. This is because the physical fitness of the Gatekeeper is exactly the same as that of the challengers.
Even if some geniuses have higher Gene Multiplier in reality, when they cross the Heavenly Bridge, they all have the standard human genetic diversity of one-times.
"Very good!" The Blue-Clad Man laughed when he saw Yang Wu shake his head. "Let me see how much progress you've made in the past few years!"
Boom!
Countless crimson rays burst forth from the Overlord Spear in the Blue-Clad Man's hand. Almost instantly, the surrounding Tiandi began to change, and a dragon-shaped phantom quickly appeared, circling around the Blue-Clad Man's body.
At the same time, the Blue-Clad Man, wearing Flame Sun Boots, instantly unleashed an astonishing speed, rapidly charging towards Yang Wu.
Boom!
Yang Wu also unleashed his power, mimicking the Blue-Clad Man's movements. His Overlord Spear also emitted countless crimson rays, and a dragon-shaped phantom circled around Yang Wu's body.
"What?"
Upon seeing that Yang Wu had also summoned the Overlord Spear, 'Hidden Dragon Lying in the Abyss', the Blue-Clad Man was extremely surprised.
When Yang Wu last challenged the level, he was only using the Fourth Layer the Overlord Spear technique. But only ten years have passed, and he can already use the sixth level?
However, despite his surprise, the Blue-Clad Man did not stop fighting.
Boom! Boom!
Two figures, each entwined with a dragon-shaped phantom, wielding the Overlord Spear, clashed violently together.
Boom! Boom...
It was as if two vast worlds were colliding; countless spear beams appeared and shot out in all directions.
Each spear beam possessed power comparable to the Fourth Layer of the Overlord Spear.
And this is merely the aftermath!
Yang Wu and the Blue-Clad Man clashed repeatedly with their Overlord Spear, while the Blue-Clad Man laughed loudly, "Young man, your progress is astonishing, but your dragon-shaped phantom is still somewhat lacking in power!"
"Go back and train for a few more years. After that, you'll have a chance to pass my test!"
The Blue-Clad Man was right; the dragon-shaped phantom surrounding Yang Wu was indeed smaller than the dragon-shaped phantom surrounding the man in Blue-Clad Man.
However, Yang Wu did not give up easily.
"My dragon-shaped phantom is a bit weak?" Yang Wu shook his head inwardly.
In terms of the quantity of Law Comprehension of space, Yang Wu, who only grasped a smattering of the Rainstorm Diagram, was indeed somewhat inferior to the Blue-Clad Man. However, in terms of quality, Yang Wu was far superior!
Because Yang Wu had already comprehended the 36 essential aspects of the Law of Space! And these 36 essential aspects were also part of the third Rainstorm Diagram!
"Today, I'm going to show you that quality is more important than quantity!"
Yang Wu let out a cold shout, and then suddenly erupted.
The dragon-shaped phantom surrounding Yang Wu suddenly unleashed an extremely condensed World Energy, which swirled around the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand.
Buzz!
The appearance of this World Energy made the aura on Yang Wu's Overlord Spear even more domineering and unparalleled.
Call out!
A beam of light shot through the air, heading straight for the Blue-Clad Man not far away.
When the Blue-Clad Man saw Yang Wu's sudden outburst, he did not choose to confront Yang Wu head-on. Instead, a shield suddenly appeared in his hand, and he gathered the power of the dragon-shaped phantom onto the shield, preparing to block Yang Wu's fatal blow before launching a counterattack.
In fact, when Yang Wu and the man in Blue-Clad Man chose to use defensive tactics, Yang Wu had already lost.
Pfft!
The spear light that Yang Wu unleashed suddenly changed direction in front of the Blue-Clad Man, grazing his shield and shooting straight into Blue-Clad Man ear, before exiting from the other ear.
The Blue-Clad Man's skull was instantly shredded into a paste by the spear's edge.
And so, ten years after arriving in Chaos City, Yang Wu successfully passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge!
"I won!"
A smile appeared on Yang Wu's face, and then he soared into the sky, flying towards the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Unfortunately, although the Gatekeeper of the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge still uses the sixth level of the Overlord Spear technique, its power is many times greater than that of the Gatekeeper of the seventh level.
Even though Yang Wu was slightly stronger in terms of quality, the quantity of his opponent was simply too much, to the point of completely overwhelming Yang Wu.
Therefore, after engaging the Gatekeeper, Yang Wu couldn't even withstand a single move before being killed by a single spear thrust!
"The difference in strength is too great!" Yang Wu sighed inwardly. "I wonder if I can pass through the eighth level before leaving Chaos City?"
On the Central Island of the Heavenly Bridge Plane the Virtual Universe.
When the Guardian Bafen saw Yang Wu pass through the seventh level, his eyes were filled with astonishment. " Among the Cosmic Humans, I have seen enough geniuses over countless years. But this Yang Wu is enough to rank among the top twenty geniuses at the Universe Level! Even that Seven Swords King from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena not long ago, at the Universe Level, he probably couldn't compare to Yang Wu!"
Immediately afterwards, the Guardian Bafen sent the news that Yang Wu had passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge to some powerful individuals who had asked him to keep an eye on Yang Wu, as well as to all the geniuses of Yang Wu's generation.
