Unparalleled Shock

On the island in the Heavenly Bridge Plane.

Silence!

The hundreds of Immortal God who had gathered were all silent, staring at Yang Wu on the screen in utter shock, their eyes filled with horror.

If Yang Wu had crossed the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge after defeating the martial artists, these people would be surprised, but not unable to accept it.

After all, even the most extraordinary geniuses in human history might have achieved this in the century following their departure from Chaos City.

However, Yang Wu chose to Controller his opponent.

While it's rare for martial artists to defeat Spiritual Master Gatekeeper, there are quite a few such instances among the core geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company.

The reason these Immortal God showed expressions of horror was because they had thought of something else.

"If I remember correctly..." a King Level Immortal said hesitantly, "When Yang Wu first crossed the Heavenly Bridge, he initially chose the Illusionist and Controller, and ended up directly passing the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

"He has now chosen the Controller as his opponent on the eleventh level of the Heavenly Bridge. Could it be that he already possesses the strength to pass the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

Among these hundreds of Immortal God, many had witnessed Yang Wu's first attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge. As for those who didn't see the live broadcast, most had at least watched the video recording.

Therefore, they were well aware of Yang Wu's experience of crossing the Heavenly Bridge. If this pattern is true, then...

Immediately, many people began to report the matter to their superiors.

Generally, when these people report to their superiors, they either go there in person in the Virtual Universe or send an email first.

But it's too late now, so many people are directly making call requests.

In a short time, many more figures appeared on the Heavenly Bridge Plane.

King Tongnan, Xingyi King, Iron Calamity King... a large number of King Level Immortal have appeared one after another!

"Haha, Xingyi King, weren't you on the Outer-Region Battlefield? How come you have your consciousness connecting to the Virtual Universe?" someone asked with a laugh.

Xingyi King is a powerful Winged Race with a pair of hazy wings. She has an alluring figure, beautiful and lustrous long hair, and eyes that are as bright as stars.

She smiled slightly and said, "I heard that a peerless genius has emerged from our human race, so of course I had to come and see for myself!"

"Xingyi King has mastered Teleportation; finding a safe place in the Outer-Region Battlefield shouldn't be difficult for him, right?"

Over countless years of human history, the number of Immortal God has become innumerable. However, the number of those who have been granted the King Level Immortal is only around one hundred thousand.

Therefore, most of the King Level Immortal were quite familiar with each other, and apart from those with deep-seated conflicts, they were all chatting and getting along very well.

But soon, they all fell silent again.

Because a figure radiating an incredibly powerful aura suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Bridge Plane; it was a Universe Venerable.

Universe Venerable and Immortal God are on completely different levels.

Even the King Zhenyan, who possesses Invincible King Level strength, can only barely save his life in front of the most ordinary Universe Venerable.

If Immortal God are the backbone of the Human Race, then Universe Venerable are already among the higher echelons of the Human Race.

While Immortal God are powerful, they are still in the nurturing stage within the Human Race; however, Universe Venerable have already begun making significant contributions to Human Race...

The Universe Venerable have very high authority among humans. Even if they were to cross Heavenly Bridge, they could simply appear inside the Heavenly Bridge itself instead of in the Central Plaza.

With the appearance of the first Universe Venerable, it was as if some kind of restriction was lifted, and one Universe Venerable after another appeared in this Central Plaza.

The appearance of these Universe Venerable turned King Zhenyan's initial joke into reality. Although he possessed Invincible King Level, it was simply impossible for him to gather these Universe Venerable.

Of course, although these Universe Venerable appeared here, they stayed in one place alone, and their voices could not reach others.

"Haha, everyone's here?" A Universe Venerable, dressed in a snow-white robe and with an unreadable voice, smiled.

"Yes, I heard that Yang Wu was preparing to challenge the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, so I rushed over immediately. I'm really looking forward to his performance!" The ruler of the Huangman Universe Country stared at the screen, his voice like thunder.

"Nine Swords, you've taken on a fine disciple!" A masked man in black robes said with a smile, "Yang Wu's progress is astonishing; his future achievements are limitless!"

The Nine Sword Venerable was also slightly taken aback.

He already knew that Yang Wu possessed the strength to reach the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge. But what he didn't expect was that, decades later, Yang Wu would be able to advance to the Twelfth level.

"It has begun!" a Universe Venerable suddenly announced.

Within the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge, at the surface level.

Standing at the end of the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, Yang Wu looked down at the vast land below and thought to himself, "Finally, I've reached the Twelfth level!"

The earth below trembled continuously, accompanied by a rumbling sound, "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat one to pass the Twelfth level!"

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

Rumble...

The earth trembled, and countless earth-yellow rays of light shot out, gathering in mid-air to form a mysterious and powerful figure dressed in yellow battle armor and wearing a yellow mask.

He wore the Sky-Stepping Boots and held the Overlord Spear, looking at Yang Wu and saying in a low voice, "A mere Universe Level cultivator can attempt the Twelfth level. Since the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge was established, you are only the fourth person to do so! Of the previous three, only one successfully made it through. I hope you can do it too!"

"Of course!" Yang Wu smiled.

He has already grasped the essence of all the Law of Space; it would be a joke if he couldn't pass the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

"Quite confident!" the Yellow-Clad Man said coldly. "I'm using the eighth level of the Overlord Spear, 'Shattering the Void,' so you'd better be careful!"

"Come on!" Yang Wu said.

Boom! Boom!

At the same time, Yang Wu and the Yellow-Clad Man burst forth with thousands of crimson rays, and the Overlord Spear in their hands was also rapidly filled with endless crimson threads.

Powerful fluctuations of Law surrounded the two of them; the Law of Space and the Law of Fire were in perfect harmony at this moment, rapidly merging together.

"Shattering the Void!" Yang Wu and the Yellow-Clad Man shouted in low voices almost simultaneously.

Wow!

Yang Wu Sky-Stepping Boots, and his Overlord Spear was extremely yang and hard, indestructible, causing the surrounding space to distort.

The ancient Overlord Spear, carrying a hazy, enormous phantom, caused the universe to explode wherever it passed, leaving a visible black rift along its path.

Boom!

The Yellow-Clad Man, like the one in the game, Sky-Stepping Boots, and his Overlord Spear was equally powerful.

The two spears collided in mid-air.

Yang Wu and his companion had both unleashed the full power of their Overlord Spear, engaging in repeated battles in mid-air.

With each exchange, boundless power erupted in mid-air, domineering and awe-inspiring.

This scene completely stunned the many powerful figures watching the battle in the Central Plaza.

This is the power that can only be possessed when the eighth level of the Overlord Spear, 'Shattering the Void,' reaches its peak. With a single thrust, the void shatters!

Yang Wu and the Yellow-Clad Man were both at the ninth level of the Universe Level, so the power of this move wasn't particularly astonishing. However, if both of them were at the Peak World Lord, their Origin Force would be millions of times stronger in quality, and if they used this move, they would definitely be able to roam freely throughout the universe.

Such Law Comprehension is extremely rare even among World Lord Level powerhouses, yet Yang Wu was able to achieve it at the Universe Level.

"You are very strong, but I am even stronger!"

After exchanging blows for more than ten rounds, Yang Wu suddenly unleashed the first level of the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, immediately gaining a clear advantage.

"Pfft!"

Yang Wu's Overlord Spear whistled as it pierced the Yellow-Clad Man's heart, and countless domineering spear beams instantly shattered his body.

The Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, passed!

In the Central Plaza of the Heavenly Bridge Plane, hundreds of Immortal God looked up at the live broadcast on the screen.

When Yang Wu truly defeated the Gatekeeper of the Twelfth level, all the Immortal God present were utterly shocked.

Universe Level breakthrough Heavenly Bridge the Twelfth level of the Sky Bridge?

How long has it been since you last appeared?

Of course, such unparalleled geniuses have appeared in Human Race history, but each of them was a famous figure, and the cultivation time of those geniuses far exceeded that of Yang Wu.

In less than a century, he had already passed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge. How could those who had cultivated for thousands of years but had only passed the eighth level of the Primal Secret Region, Heavenly Bridge number one expert in the Universe Level, possibly bear this?

The eighth floor and the Twelfth floor are completely incomparable!

Yang Wu's current Law Comprehension is undoubtedly the best among the Domain Lord Level powerhouses in the Virtual Universe Company!

"This... it's been less than a hundred years since their generation of geniuses left Chaos City, hasn't it?"

"This Yang Wu... he actually managed to pass the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

"This is already the most extraordinary genius in our Human Race!" The beautiful King Longyu's face was full of shock and excitement as she couldn't help but say, "Zhen Yan, Tong Nan, the three of us have lived for hundreds of millions of years, and we have never seen such a genius before!"

"Indeed!" King Zhenyan stroked the downy hair around his mouth and sighed, "Although we lived in the same era as Venerable Shi Huo and Kedi, we were over a million years later. At that time, Venerable Shi Huo had already achieved the position of Venerable, while Kedi had already perished. Since those two, our human race has never produced such a heaven-defying genius! Now that a genius like Yang Wu has appeared, it is truly a blessing from heaven for our human race!"

"As long as Yang Wu doesn't perish, there's no problem for him to rival us in the future. Even becoming Universe Venerable wouldn't be difficult!"

In the human race, the saying that a genius appears once every tens of millions of epochs is just a saying, and it does not mean that such a heaven-defying genius will appear every tens of millions of epochs.

Millions of years ago, a monstrous genius named Shihuo appeared in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. He reached the Peak King Level in tens of thousands of years, and then became Universe Venerable in hundreds of thousands of years.

Around the same time, another genius emerged within the Virtual Universe Company, Kedi, who was no less talented than the Venerable Shi Huo.

Unfortunately, Kedi perished in the face of an assassination attempt by Alien Race.

Yang Wu was born in the Genius Battle. More than a hundred years ago, he was only a ninth-level Star Level. Even though he showed unparalleled talent in the Genius Battle, he was still far inferior to geniuses like Kedi and Shihuo who were unprecedented in history.

After joining Virtual Universe Company, he rose to prominence, surpassing his predecessors time and time again, and creating miracles one after another.

When Yang Wu left Chaos City, Yang Wu talent was already considered the strongest of his generation.

But--

He has now crossed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge at Universe Level!

In just a hundred years, he has grown from a little kid who had just participated in the Genius Battle to such a level.

Compared to this, what are the Seven Swords King and King Mengsui, who are praised by countless people in this era? Even compared with the peerless geniuses in human history, Yang Wu is in no way inferior.

King Zhenyan, Xingyi King, King Tongnan, Silver Moon King, Black Mist King...

Legendary figures were all staring intently at the figure on the screen, their hearts surging with excitement.

On the other side, within the small circle of dozens of Universe Venerable, there was utter silence; you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke.

"Our Human Race will soon produce another supreme being!" exclaimed a stunningly beautiful woman draped in a seven-colored gauze robe.

"Yes!" another being shrouded in a misty white fog chimed in, "Nine Swords, you're incredibly lucky to have encountered such a genius!"

The Nine Sword Venerable stared blankly at Yang Wu on the screen for a moment.

"Yang Wu often consults me, and I know he has extremely high talent. I also believe he has the potential to surpass the Seven Swords King and others in the future. But... how could he comprehend the essence of all the Origin Law of Space in less than a hundred years at the Universe Level?"

"Impossible!"

"How is this possible!"

The Nine Sword Venerable was utterly shocked, hardly believing what he was seeing.

"Haha, Ganwu, your Cosmic Nation has indeed produced a peerless genius this time!" another Immortal being exclaimed. "What a pity! If you had taken him as your disciple, you might have had a chance to pay off your debts in the future!"

The fact that the Ganwu Universe Country Leader was resurrected multiple times due to Reverse Time and Space, thus incurring a mountain of debt, was no secret among these high-ranking officials.

The Ganwu Universe Country Leader couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, such a genius, as long as he doesn't perish in the future, will surely become a pillar of our human race!"

The Ganwu Universe Country Leader sighed, while secretly regretting his actions.

Such a genius came from the Ganwu Universe Country, yet he failed to take him as a disciple; it's a waste that the universe Destruction.

If Yang Wu had intended to take on disciples before joining the Virtual Universe Company, no one would have been able to compete with him. Even after Yang Wu successfully crossed the Heavenly Bridge for the first time, he could still rival the Nine Sword Venerable.

However, the Ganwu Universe Country Leader missed his chance, and now Yang Wu has truly soared to great heights, but the two are no longer master and disciple.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Ganwu Universe Country Leader.

As the saying goes, "The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details!"

The Immortal God were mostly amazed to see that Yang Wu had passed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge in less than a hundred years, and they felt that Yang Wu could be compared with the strongest geniuses in the history of the human race.

Among these Universe Venerable, Yang Wu's performance was even more astonishing.

Even for exceptional geniuses like Kedi and Shihuo, it would still take hundreds of years of secluded cultivation to pass the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge at the Universe Level.

But what about Yang Wu?

Less than a century!

Although both crossed the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, the time difference between less than a hundred years and several hundred years is vastly different.

Because of their extreme rarity, geniuses like Yang Wu were never recorded in human history. Therefore, the only geniuses known to the Immortal God were those like Kedi and Shihuo.

While the peerless geniuses who emerged from countless epochs are incredibly brilliant, there are still some who have never reached the Universe Venerable level. And those geniuses who can surpass them, even the weakest among those still alive, are all Universe Overlord!

The more ancient the Universe Master, the clearer they are about what such a genius represents!

Venerable Gui Yi, Lord of Tian Shi, Universe Master Youhou...

The Heavenly Bridge spans the starry sky, connecting a planet directly to a star.

Yang Wu quickly flew to the surface of the star.

Sizzle...

Endless flames surrounded them.

The Thirteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge had come to an end. Yang Wu stood here, still choosing a martial artist as his opponent.

This time, the opponent was no longer the Yellow-Clad Man, but a masked man wearing fiery red armor.

"To reach the Thirteenth Floor the Universe Level, you have a bright future!" The masked man looked at Yang Wu: "I believe you've guessed it, I will be using the final level of the Overlord Spear —'Even the Immortal Can Also Be Defeated '."

Yang Wu's expression changed slightly.

"Immortal Can Also Be Defeated" is the most powerful and perfect move of the Overlord Spear. Even many Immortal God are rarely able to unleash this move before their breakthrough.

Even in nearly ten thousand years of simulated experience, Yang Wu had never successfully used the move 'Immortal Can Also Be Defeated Opposed'.

"Boom!"

Yang Wu and the masked man simultaneously unleashed the Overlord Spear.

They clashed instantly.

Laugh!

The masked man's Overlord Spear first knocked Yang Wu's weapon away, then with a light thrust, it pierced Yang Wu's forehead with lightning speed, killing Yang Wu.

It was an ordinary move, yet it left Yang Wu with no chance to struggle, killing him instantly.

"The difference between the thirteen levels is indeed too great! Even if I use the second level of <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body>, I have no ability to resist at all!" A thought flashed through Yang Wu's mind before he was kicked out of the Heavenly Bridge Plane.

I have been updating less lately, but that doesn't count as padding! If I wanted to pad it out, I would have written about the Dead Star mission.

The main character has to have a moment of glory, right? We've been holding back for almost ten thousand years in Simulator...
