Virtual Universe, the Heavenly Bridge Plane.

In the Central Plaza of that beautiful dimensional island, the Guardian Bafen has been silently watching over it for countless years.

Suddenly, a figure clad in dark gold armor appeared out of thin air in the Central Plaza; it was Yang Wu, who had been teleported from the Primal Region.

"Yang Wu!" The Guardian Bafen, dressed in a black Star Robe, was slightly surprised to see Yang Wu appear.

"Guardian!" Yang Wu approached Guardian Bafen and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha... Yang Wu, it's been quite a while since I've seen you!" Guardian Bafen smiled and said, "Since you left Chaos City, you haven't crossed the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge again. In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years have passed."

"There are less than ten years left until the Qualification Battle for your Universe Level geniuses. Are you planning to pass the Tenth Layer before the Qualification Battle?"

Among the current Universe Level geniuses of Virtual Universe Company, apart from Yang Wu, the most they have ever passed is the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Even Primal Secret Region Member at the Domain Lord Level mostly only managed to pass the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, had only been out of Chaos City for less than a hundred years...

Although the Guardian Bafen said it, he didn't believe Yang Wu could pass the Tenth Layer before the Qualification Battle.

After all, the speed of comprehension in the Primal Universe is far slower than the speed of comprehension in the Chaos City.

Yang Wu looked at the Guardian Bafen, smiled slightly, and said, "This will surprise you, Guardian!"

"Oh?" The Guardian Bafen, was taken aback, then laughed, "Then I'll wait and see!"

The Guardian Bafen had spent countless years in the Heavenly Bridge Plane and had seen countless brilliant geniuses.

Given Yang Wu's previous display of talent, even if he were to actually pass the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge, the Guardian Bafen wouldn't be too surprised.

There were no challengers inside the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge at this time, so after speaking with the Guardian Bafen, Yang Wu walked directly towards the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

Yang Wu stood before the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge, an endless bridge shrouded in mist that stretched to the ends of the Tiandi, with a vast ocean below, its waves rolling.

Whoosh!

The Overlord Spear appeared out of thin air in Yang Wu's hand. He looked at the ancient crimson spear in his hand, his lonely eyes seeming to transcend time and space.

"Throughout the countless ages of Human Race, countless geniuses of extraordinary talent have emerged. And from this day forward, I too will leave my name in the history of humanity!"

Even though a genius like Kedi has been gone for billions of years, countless powerful beings in the universe still remember his name.

Even the Zerg Race assassins who plotted to kill Kedi were proud of having killed Kedi.

Today, after Yang Wu crossed the Heavenly Bridge, the talent he displayed far surpassed that of these peerless geniuses who only appear once every tens of millions of epochs!

Yang Wu looked up and gazed ahead, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Call out!

Yang Wu instantly transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, swiftly rushing towards the depths of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge to begin his Heavenly Bridge.

As Yang Wu began to break through the Heavenly Bridge, the Guardian Bafen, started sending out mass emails.

"He's hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime genius, Yang Wu really gets a lot of attention!" the Guardian Bafen muttered. "Many big shots have ordered me to notify them immediately if Yang Wu crosses the Heavenly Bridge."

In an instant, hundreds of emails were sent out by the Guardian Bafen.

Several rare geniuses have emerged in Yang Wu's current Genius Battle.

Bolan, whose talent in Law of Space is unparalleled, is too arrogant. However, after setbacks, he becomes more courageous and resilient. Over the past hundred years, he has shone with his own light and successfully passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Luo Feng is resilient and has an extraordinary will. In the eyes of many powerful figures, as long as he does not perish due to an accident, he has a very high chance of becoming a powerful figure in the future. He has already passed the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge.

As for Rong Jun, although his Law Comprehension was slightly inferior, he was even more special. In fact, when he first entered Chaos City, he attracted the attention of two ancient Universe Country Lord who vied to take him as their disciple.

Any one of these three would have shone brightly in any other era.

But now that they've met Yang Wu, they seem rather dim.

In a palace at the foot of Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.

King Longyu extended her crystal-clear finger and gently tapped, and a screen immediately appeared in the void, displaying an email.

"Yang Wu has started attempting the Heavenly Bridge?" A smile appeared on King Longyu's exquisite face, "This disciple of the Venerable passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge right after leaving Chaos City, causing quite a stir among the higher-ups of the Five Great Forces. Law Comprehension is inherently increasingly difficult; could he possibly pass the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge in such a short time?"

Although King Longyu was the first King Level Immortal under the Nine Sword Venerable, he was unaware that Yang Wu possessed the strength to pass the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

Now that Yang Wu has started to attempt to Heavenly Bridge, she naturally wants to pay attention.

After sending an email to the Nine Sword Venerable, King Longyu immediately set off for the Heavenly Bridge Plane with a smile.

At the same time.

King Zhenyan, Black Mist King, King Longyu... Marquis Lihuo, a total of over a hundred Immortal God, more than half of whom were at the King-Level, and the lowest level was at the Marquis Level Immortal level. These powerful Immortal God arrived at the Heavenly Bridge Plane one after another.

Not only the Immortal under the Virtual Universe Company, but also Immortal God under the other Four Great Powers, such as the Black Mist King, have appeared.

This is an extremely rare scene.

This also made the Heavenly Bridge Plane more lively.

"Haha..." King Zhenyan looked around and said with a smile, "Such a scene today is truly a rare sight. Even if I wanted to invite everyone together, it would be difficult to gather so many people! I didn't expect everyone to come as soon as Yang Wu crossed the Heavenly Bridge!"

Of course, this was just a joke by King Zhenyan.

If he really wanted to invite other Immortal God to gather, the scene would probably be ten times more lively than it is now.

After all, given the talent Yang Wu had previously displayed, he only had a slight chance of becoming Universe Venerable!

However, the King Zhenyan already possesses the Invincible King Level. Once he takes the final step, he will immediately become a powerful Universe Venerable.

Because the Human Race has relatively small Divine Body and generally low Gene Multiplier, there are only a handful of King Level Immortal with such power.

However, if they truly break through, they can immediately become among the more powerful beings in the Universe Venerable.

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

The snake-tailed woman 'Black Mist King,' draped in a black veil, looked at the burly ape-man in golden armor and smiled, "With your fiery temper, always shouting for war, it's no wonder you can't get anyone else to help you!"

After the Black Mist King finished speaking, several Immortal in the arena were somewhat puzzled.

"The King Zhenyan's fiery temper?"

"Calling for war and slaughter?"

In their eyes, the King Zhenyan had always been cultivating in Chaos City and basically never participated in the battles within the Primal Universe, so how could he possibly have a fiery temper?

What they didn't know was that when King Zhenyan was young, he was an incredibly audacious person; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the reputation of Invincible King Level.

However, now that many years have passed, few people who are not contemporaries of the King Zhenyan would know about the tyranny and madness in his bones.

"Gentlemen, do you think it's possible for Yang Wu to pass the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge?" a Werewolf Race King Level Immortal a smile.

"It's possible! This is Yang Wu's first time attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge since leaving Chaos City, so he should have some confidence!"

"I think it's unlikely! The Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge is extremely difficult, and less than a hundred years have passed. I doubt he can get through it!"

"Yes, the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge is too difficult! Even among Domain Lord Level geniuses, a large number are Heavenly Bridge on the ninth level."

In fact, the reason these Immortal God appeared was simply because Yang Wu hadn't crossed the Heavenly Bridge for nearly a hundred years, and they wanted to assess Yang Wu's strength.

Moreover, watching the battle from the Heavenly Bridge Plane doesn't require much effort from Immortal God; they only need to spare a sliver of their consciousness.

"Marquis Lihuo, I heard you've been guiding Yang Wu at Yuxiang Mountain. Tell me, is Yang Wu capable of passing the Tenth Layer?" a King Level Immortal suddenly asked.

Instantly, all the Immortal God turned their gaze to Marquis Lihuo, who was positioned at the edge of the crowd.

Where had Marquis Lihuo encountered such a situation before?

Although he was at the Peak Marquis Level, most of the people present here were stronger than him, and there were even many at the Peak King Level and the Limit King Level.

For a moment, Marquis Lihuo didn't know what to say.

Upon seeing Yang Wu's image on the screen, he quickly exclaimed, "Everyone, look! The battle has begun!"

Immediately, hundreds of Immortal God turned to look at the screen.

The Tenth Layer of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge is located inside a planet.

The Heavenly Bridge's surface extends directly from the planet's core to the Earth's surface.

Yang Wu's figure appeared directly on the bridge inside the star core.

After Yang Wu appeared, the entire planet trembled slightly, followed by a booming sound.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat them to advance to the Tenth Layer."

"I choose the martial artist!" Yang Wu said calmly.

Rumble...

In an instant, the entire planet trembled, and countless yellowish-brown rays of light continuously flew out from the core of the planet, condensing in mid-air into a mysterious and powerful figure wearing a yellow battle suit and a yellow mask.

"Young man, it's been almost a century since I've seen you!" the Yellow-Clad Man said in a deep voice. "What, are you now confident you can get past me?"

"Of course!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

"Very good!" Seeing the confidence in Yang Wu's eyes, the Yellow-Clad Man laughed and said, "Then let me see how much progress you've made in the past hundred years!"

Boom!

The Yellow-Clad Man, facing Yang Wu now, was no longer as careless as he had been before.

He pointed his Overlord Spear at Yang Wu from afar, and a wisp of spear light capable of Shattering the Void the void flew out, rushing towards Yang Wu's brow like lightning.

It is the seventh level of the Overlord Spear technique – 'Myriad Manifestations'!

At the same time, Yang Wu also made a move.

He also used the seventh level of 'Myriad Manifestations', but he struck first despite being behind, directly meeting the opponent's attack in mid-air.

In an instant, the two attacks annihilated each other.

"That was so easy!" Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, seeing the surprise in the Yellow-Clad Man's eyes.

Before leaving Chaos City, the Yellow-Clad Man killed Yang Wu with a single, casual strike.

However, decades later, when Yang Wu faced the opponent's full-force attack again, he seemed to be handling it with ease.

"Die!"

After sparring with the Yellow-Clad Man using the "Myriad Manifestations" technique for more than ten rounds, Yang Wu's eyes flashed like lightning, and he suddenly unleashed his power, killing his opponent instantly.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the Yellow-Clad Man's body fell onto the bridge.

The Heavenly Bridge has reached its Tenth Layer!

Without pausing, Yang Wu swiftly flew towards the eleventh level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

On the Central Island of the Heavenly Bridge Plane, chaos had already broken out.

"How is this possible?"

"Even if he could get through the Tenth Layer, it would be impossible for him to do it so easily!"

"Yes! The Tenth Layer is a realm that only ordinary Immortal God can reach; you can imagine how difficult it is! How could he pass it so easily?"

The hundreds of Immortal were utterly astonished to see Yang Wu pass through the Tenth Layer of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge so easily.

These people were all Immortal God, and even the weakest of them had passed the Fifteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

But it was precisely because they had all crossed the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge that they understood the difficulty involved!

They had imagined the scene of Yang Wu being defeated by the Gatekeeper, and they had also imagined the scene of Yang Wu successfully passing through the Tenth Layer after a difficult battle.

But what they never expected was that Yang Wu would pass through the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge so easily.

But now, something they hadn't even considered has suddenly appeared before them all!

"That's terrifying!"

After a moment of silence, an Immortal being finally sighed.

"Yes, how exactly did he cultivate? The speed of comprehension in the Primal Universe is far inferior to that in Chaos City!"

"Such a speed of progress is simply unbelievable!"

"Do you think it's possible for Yang Wu to pass the eleventh level?"

"The eleventh level? If he can really get past the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, that would be terrifying!"

"The most extraordinary geniuses in human history passed through the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge when they left Chaos City, then spent a hundred years passing through the eleventh level, and several hundred years passing through the Twelfth level. Yang Wu has now passed through the Tenth Layer the Heavenly Bridge. Although his strength is not yet comparable to those most extraordinary geniuses, his rate of progress is quite remarkable."

The Tenth Layer to the Twelfth levels of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge are all located inside the planet.

Therefore, at the end of the eleventh level of this Heavenly Bridge, Yang Wu experienced a scene similar to that on the Tenth Layer.

However, this time Yang Wu chose Spiritual Master as his opponent.

"Has he gone mad? The eleventh level is already incredibly difficult, and he still chose the Spiritual Master, which is the most disadvantageous for martial artists?"

"Yes! In the early stages, Spiritual Master and Illusionist still have a significant advantage when dealing with martial artists!"

The hundreds of Immortal God were puzzled when they saw that Yang Wu had chosen Spiritual Master as his opponent.

Although the Heavenly Bridge is a place to test one's understanding of the Law, choosing a suitable opponent is crucial if one's Law Comprehension is roughly the same.

Of the three professions on the Heavenly Bridge, the Illusionist is the most unsolvable.

A strong will allows one to quickly break through illusions and achieve victory; however, if one is too late, defeat is inevitable.

As for Controller and martial artists, when their Law Comprehension roughly equal in the early stages, Spiritual Master naturally have some advantages.

If someone is a genius, and they are evenly matched with the Controller or Gatekeeper, as long as they choose the martial artist role, they have a very high chance of passing the level.

Yang Wu, however, is now on the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, where, as a martial artist, he has chosen to challenge the Controller Gatekeeper.

After Yang Wu chose the Controller as his opponent, Yellow-Clad Man carrying a golden sword on his back and standing on a long, shuttle-shaped Telepathic Weapon immediately appeared in mid-air.

Having experienced a confrontation with the Controller on the Heavenly Bridge, Yang Wu knew very well that the weapon his opponent used was the 'Flame God Weapon,' one of the Nine Great Controller Weapons, comparable to the Overlord Spear.

If their Law Comprehension were comparable, Yang Wu would probably need to use the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body> to amplify his power in order to win.

But now Yang Wu's Law Comprehension far surpasses that of his opponents on the eleventh level, so he naturally faces no pressure.

Because his opponent was the Controller, Yang Wu was able to spar with him for several rounds before finally killing him.

The eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge, passed!
