The Charge!

Inside the secret chamber of the Universe Chaos Stele, chaotic energy swirled.

Jiang Yao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, part of his consciousness focused on comprehending the third image of the Universe Chaos Stele, which was a circular scale formed by eighty-one gray-white scales arranged like tiles, with lines encircling the scales.

Another part of the consciousness was simultaneously enacting the Space-Time Law within the Xu Yuan Space and comprehending its essential mysteries.

The Xu Yuan Space has been upgraded to the third level, which means that within the Xu Yuan Space, apart from the amount of Fusion Law, Jiang Yao can unleash the mysteries of other laws in an instant, including attacks combining the Space-Time Law.

This is also another trump card for him to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele. It is similar to Bi Zhang's comprehension of the Path of the Beast God through his Bizhang Split Soul. Both are reverse deciphering and analyzing the Law Essence.

Furthermore, with his comprehension increased by over a hundred times and the extremely high compatibility with the Law of Time brought by the Desolate God Chiling, Jiang Yao was certain that in terms of comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele, there were probably few in the universe who could rival him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

In the third image of the Chaos Stele, the tree-ring-like threads on the circular scales seem to have suddenly come alive, twisting into concentric circles of light, each with a different shape. Upon closer inspection, there are as many as 108 of them!

These are the 108 basic units of the Origin Law of Time.

Under Jiang Yao's consciousness, the countless stars that appeared and disappeared on the third black stone slab of <Youyuan True Interpretation>, moving along irregular trajectories, vanished in an instant. It turned out that the seemingly endless stars were actually just an illusion created by 108 stars traversing the void, appearing and disappearing!

"I never expected that the first thing I would comprehend would be the 108 essential aspects of the Law of Time."

Jiang Yao was somewhat pleased, but not particularly surprised.

Because he couldn't afford the secret manual of the Thunder Time Path of the Beast God, <Blood Hong>, Jiang Yao didn't have the Desolate God Chiling split his soul to analyze the Lightning-Time Fusion Law. Instead, he devoted himself to analyzing the Law of Time.

The combination of the two allowed Jiang Yao to analyze the Law of Time at a speed that even surpassed the speed of analyzing the laws of space, which was aided by the "Zhenhuang Mirror".

"I've already grasped 105 of the essential principles of the laws of space, it seems it's too late..."

Jiang Yao felt a little regretful, but not disappointed. To comprehend 108 essential aspects of the Law of Time and 105 essential aspects of the Law of Space in 30 years in Chaos City was already quite extraordinary.

Thirty years ago, he couldn't have imagined that his cultivation speed could be so fast, as this was the Universe Chaos Stele, which was recognized as the most difficult to comprehend.

The Xu Yuan Space reached the third level and gave birth to the Desolate God Chiling is arguably the main reason.

Otherwise, his speed of comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele would probably be at least a hundred times slower; it would be considered fast if he could comprehend the 216 essential aspects of the Space-Time Law in 3000 years.

"Come out, everyone!"

A voice echoed in Jiang Yao's mind.

Jiang Yao left the secret chamber without the slightest hesitation. The green-armored youth with a long tail, who was in the same group as him studying the secrets, gave him a strange look.

Before the secret chamber, the guardian, Kandri, looked at Jiang Yao emerging from the bronze door and said, "Jiang Yao, you've used up your 26 opportunities for enlightenment. Are you going to try to cross the Heavenly Bridge next?"

Jiang Yao nodded and said respectfully, "I plan to try again before leaving Chaos City."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Kandri watched Jiang Yao transform into a streak of Flowing Light and depart, gently shaking his head before turning his gaze to the green-armored youth. "Xitu, you've used up your extra opportunities for comprehension. Your cultivation speed of the <Guiyi Secret Canon> is still quite fast; don't be impatient."

The green-armored youth respectfully replied, "Grandmaster's teachings are correct, and my teacher said the same thing. However, this time, comprehending the Chaos Stele has greatly improved my understanding of the third level of the <Guiyi Secret Canon>. I should be confident that I can pass the tenth level and get another chance to comprehend it."

"Oh?" The avatar of Kandri, guarding the bronze door of the secret chamber of the Universe Chaos Stele, was somewhat surprised. "You are studying the Universe Chaos Stele. If you can pass the 10th level, your chances of staying in the Primal Secret Realm in the next Qualification Battle will be very high."

This Xitu is the disciple of King Yelun, the 11th disciple of Kandri. He is considered the most outstanding disciple of the Cosmic School in hundreds of eras before Jiang Yao came to Chaos City. His lifespan is only a few thousand years. He has just been promoted to the Domain Lord level and has passed the 9th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge.

If one can pass the 10th level, then there is a chance to stay in the Primal Secret Realm on the first attempt at the Domain Lord- level Primal Secret Realm Qualification Battle.

A hint of arrogance flashed in the eyes of the green-armored youth Xitu as he respectfully replied, "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent guidance. It's just that there are too few opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele. If I had Jiang Yao's quota for comprehending it, I would definitely have been able to pass the Tenth Layer long ago."

Kandri smiled and shook his head, "He was granted this extra opportunity for enlightenment because he was accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord. You can't compare to him."

Xitu quickly replied respectfully, "This disciple knows that my status is incomparable to his, but seeing him waste this opportunity for enlightenment still makes me feel a little sorry for him."

Kandri sighed inwardly, his eyes still smiling. He naturally knew what Xitu was thinking. Jiang Yao's behavior of comprehending the Chaos Stele 26 times in 30 years was indeed quite bizarre. He had guarded 52 Chaos Tablets for millions of epochs and had never seen anyone comprehend the Chaos Stele so frequently.

Although Xitu was not selected through the Peak Battle, he was quickly absorbed into the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, unmatched by his peers, and surpassed many of the company's Core Member.

Such an unparalleled genius might not be convinced even if he encountered a prodigy like Jiang Yao, especially since both of them cultivate the Cosmic School.

After all, Jiang Yao is famous for his talent in comprehending the Path of the Beast God. On the Universe Chaos Stele, Xitu might even think that he is no worse than Jiang Yao, which is not surprising. The fact that Jiang Yao was accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord has made many geniuses in the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company very jealous and envious.

Even many geniuses and even grandmasters from the same school of thought as Xitu might feel dissatisfied and resentful about Jiang Yao's achievement of using the Path of the Beast God to cross the Universe Heavenly Bridge, gaining fame throughout the Cosmic School.

Kandri smiled without saying a word. He was pleased to see Xitu's competitive spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat. To become a strong person, one must have the heart of a strong person who never gives up.

Above Chaos City, hundreds of geniuses and nearly 100 immortal beings respectfully bowed to a man dressed in a dark battle robe, whose skin was covered with fiery red crystalline scales and who had three pairs of black and red wings on his back.

"Greetings, Venerable!"

Venerable Tianhe surveyed the hundreds of geniuses, pausing briefly on Jiang Yao. His previously cold expression softened slightly. "In a safe place like Chaos City, you actually lost 145 people, including geniuses from the Primordial Secret Realm. I am very disappointed!"

"There are only a few days left. It won't be this safe after you leave Chaos City," Venerable Tianhe said solemnly. "Make the most of these last few days. Those who need to Heavenly Bridge; those who need to study the Chaos Stele, study it as soon as possible..."

After the 855 geniuses dispersed, dozens of immortal beings also left, leaving only a dozen or so Immortal Expert standing respectfully beside Venerable Tianhe. One of the Immortal Expert stepped forward and reported...

"Your Venerable, among this group of geniuses, seven have so far passed the third level. Among them, Fito has passed the fourth level, while Sima Yan has tried several times without success. The highest is Jiang Yao, Universe Heavenly Bridge..."

Venerable Tianhe listened attentively and said softly, "If it weren't for Jiang Yao, this result would only be considered mediocre... Jiang Yao hasn't crossed the Heavenly Bridge again in all these years?"

"Yes, out of 855 geniuses, he's the only one who only tried once."

The other dozen or so Immortal Expert began to discuss among themselves upon hearing this.

"Hey, reaching the sixth level on your first try still puts you far ahead of the other geniuses. You're barely worthy of being a disciple of the city lord."

"The difference between the seventh and sixth levels is significant. If you're not confident, attempting it will be a waste of time."

"We're about to leave Chaos City; he might try one more time before he leaves."

"I think Jiang Yao should be able to get past the seventh level this time, and maybe even the eighth."

"The Path of the Beast God is incredibly difficult; it's not that easy. It's only been 30 years. It would be good enough if we could even get past the seventh level. The difficulty of the Heavenly Bridge to Heaven increases as you go further."

The virtual Universe Heavenly Bridge dimension.

In the center of the beautiful island, figures appeared.

As soon as Jiang Yao appeared, he saw dozens of young people waiting for the Heavenly Bridge to become available, and more and more figures were constantly appearing.

Clearly, Jiang Yao and his group of geniuses are about to leave Chaos City, and many of them want to try one last time before leaving. If they are lucky enough to pass through one level, they will have another chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele. After all, once they leave the Initial Universe, they will not be able to comprehend the Chaos Stele in a short period of time.

"Jiang Yao, you're still coming to try?" Sajin Fire Dragon joked, "We're already so far ahead, even our strongest member, Fito, has only made it past the fourth level."

Daiqin suddenly appeared, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yao. He walked over and patted Jiang Yao on the shoulder. "You've been too low-key these past few decades. I haven't seen you hunting Chaos True Spirit or searching for the remaining insights in various parts of Chaos City. I don't know how you've been cultivating."

Jiang Yao laughed and said, "How else can we cultivate? We'll have to study the Chaos Stele!"

Both of them froze, their envy turning to jealousy at the thought of Jiang Yao being accepted as a disciple by the Chaos City Lord and granted an extra 20 opportunities to comprehend.

"Hmph, just keep showing off." The ruddy-skinned Daiqin touched his bald head and sighed, "It's good that you didn't come with us to hunt the Chaos True Spirit that time; Fanluo died in that operation."

Ninan, dressed in a silver-gray battle robe, also chimed in, "Still too greedy."

Jiang Yao also sighed a bit. The pharmacist Fanluo was also among the top ten in this year's competition and a member of the Primordial Secret Realm. He had fought with him before, and although their relationship wasn't particularly good, they were acquaintances.

Daiqin shook off his gloomy mood. "Hehe, there's something to celebrate, I've finally become the strongest Controller among our group!"

"Oh?" Ninan looked at Jiang Yao: "Jiang Yao also used the Controller Divine Weapon to pass through the third level back then."

Daiqin said with some pride, "I saw a secret technique for manipulating the Lie Divine Weapon left by a senior on the wall of a building. It was a great gain. Even if I can't pass the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge this time, I won't be far off. It seems that the title of the strongest Controller in our generation will belong to me."

Thirty years ago, Jiang Yao used the Controller Divine Weapon to pass through the third level. He passed the fourth level as a martial artist by using the <Nine Styles of Bizhang>. He even used a trace of the Path of the Beast God to pass through the fifth and sixth levels.

Although 30 years have passed, Jiang Yao is definitely stronger now, but he will certainly focus his main energy on martial arts, cultivating the <Nine Styles of Bizhang> and comprehending the Path of the Beast God. No one would think that Jiang Yao would continue to cultivate the Sui Divine Weapon and the Xing Divine Weapon, after all, he is comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele and cultivating the Space-Time Law.

"Daiqin, there's no one on the Windshadow Heavenly Bridge anymore, you can go and try it now," said Guardian Bafen, with a smile.

Daiqin chuckled and said, "Lord Bafen, I'm not in a hurry. I want to see Jiang Yao cross the Heavenly Bridge first, and then I'll go."

The Guardian Bafen, glanced at the group and chuckled, "I knew what you were thinking. Jiang Yao, the Universe Heavenly Bridge is currently unmanned; you can go ahead."

He then addressed a newly appeared youth in green armor. "Xitu, you're second in line below the Universe Heavenly Bridge."

Whoosh!

Seeing Jiang Yao streak across the Flowing Light and fly towards the distant Universe Heavenly Bridge, the Guardian Bafen muttered, "I need to send emails quickly. Hmm, to the sect leaders of the Cosmic School, the Immortal Expert cultivating the secret manuals related to the Path of the Beast God, and the King Yichen under Venerable Tianhe..."
