A New Grandmaster of the Cosmic School

"Is it also Annihilation Intent?"

Jiang Yao was startled, and his fighting spirit surged even more fiercely. Even the seven-foot Broken Sword, Super Divine Weapon simulated in the Virtual Universe, seemed to sense his emotions and vibrated gently.

The guardian of the 20th floor smiled and said, "The Space-Time Law can evolve into many different realms. In the countless years since the creation of the Universe Chaos Stele, the Annihilation Intent is naturally not something that only Your Highness can master. My prototype is a former powerful figure from the Cosmic School who has already fallen and comprehended the Annihilation Intent. He is also the strongest person in history to walk the path of the Annihilation Intent."

"Your Highness, if you can overcome my challenge, it will mean that you are the pioneer on the path of Annihilation Intent, and there is no one ahead of you."

Jiang Yao held the seven-foot-long Broken Sword in his hand, humming softly as if deep in thought, "Is there no one left ahead?"

Jiang Yao knows his own situation best; his understanding of the Space-Time Law is actually only at the level of the 19th floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

Having withstood the punishment of the laws governing the universe, and nourished by the dangerous yet powerful energy from his Origin Blood Essence, Bizhang Split Soul's Beast God Intent had reached level 21, the initial stage of Universe Venerable.

However, this is, after all, Virtual Universe. His original soul and Bizhang Split Soul are two different things. Although their consciousnesses are connected, Bizhang Split Soul is essentially another version of himself. Just like Chiling clone, for Bizhang Split Soul to log into the Virtual Universe is equivalent to having another identity different from Jiang Yao's original self. Therefore, it is not feasible to have Bizhang Split Soul log into the Virtual Universe Network to help him Heavenly Bridge.

Bizhang Split Soul's Beast God Intent is unrelated to his original soul. Even if he could possess the same Beast God Intent as Bizhang Split Soul through a connection of consciousness, he would not be able to unleash the same Path of the Beast God as the Beast God Intent.

Ultimately, the Beast God Intent and the Fusion Law are different. Apart from the will of the Desolate God like Bizhang and Chiling, it's one thing for a normal person to master the level of the Beast God Intent, but it's another thing to be able to unleash the Fusion Law. Usually, the Beast God Intent is higher than the Fusion Law.

It's fair to say that even if Jiang Yao's true consciousness unleashed the power of the Fire-Space or Light-Time Fusion Law, it might not be enough to defeat the guardians of these 20 levels.

Moreover, Jiang Yao did not intend to expose the Fusion Law. Over the years, he had basically not used the Fusion Law in public. Furthermore, the information about the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal could not be disseminated, and no one knew what level his Path of the Beast God had reached.

This was a plan he and the Chaos City Lord had discussed long ago.

After all, the rapid advancement of the Path of the Beast God in Chiling clone could be explained by the inheritance of the Suolun Master.

Jiang Yao's simultaneous cultivation of the Space-Time Law and the two Path of the Beast God, reaching such a high level, easily arouses suspicion. Even doubting his background could bring him even greater trouble.

Besides preventing the biggest secret from being exposed, especially for security reasons such as the Ancestral God Sect finding out, Jiang Yao's other consideration was the next course of action.

Whether he goes to the Third Battlefield outside the domain as suggested by the Chaos City Lord, or waits for the inheritance of Yedier to be opened to compete for it, he does not intend to reveal his true identity.

Otherwise, no matter which Outer-Region Battlefield he goes to, once his identity is exposed, it will definitely cause a bloodbath, and the Alien Race will never give up their assassination attempts on him just because he "achieved Immortal God".

Once the Alien Race learn that he is still alive, Alien Race will definitely pay close attention to human powerhouses who are skilled in the Space-Time Law, especially those who can unleash Annihilation Intent attacks, in the Outer-Region Battlefield or various Cosmic Secret Realm.

His ability to consistently use the Space-Time Law to attack, without ever revealing his Path of the Beast God, greatly facilitates his disguise. The more dazzling his achievements in the Space-Time Law become, the more the Alien Race will overlook his accomplishments in the Path of the Beast God.

Therefore, Jiang Yao's purpose in breaking through the Heavenly Bridge this time was not only to announce his return, but also to use his most dazzling performance to showcase his achievements in the Space-Time Law, and to deeply impress people with his image as a genius in the Space-Time Law.

The 20 guardians before him were the final obstacle to his demonstration of his achievements in the Space-Time Law.

Jiang Yao raised his seven-foot-long Broken Sword, as black as ink, and pointed it at the gatekeeper. "Then take my move!"

Just because someone's understanding of the Space-Time Law is inferior to their opponent's doesn't mean they have no chance of victory!

Splash splash~~~

It was as if a Galaxy was flowing forward in the sky, but what flowed in this Galaxy was neither water nor stars.

Instead, they were tiny, extremely fine, and constantly pulsating streaks of sword light.

These chilling, fleeting, and cyclical flashes of sword light create countless worlds of sword light imbued with the spirit of slaughter and Destruction.

With a single thrust, the sword transcended the limitations of time and space, enveloping the gatekeeper carrying the enormous bow and arrow.

This is a unique skill that Jiang Yao created after he completely mastered the inner world of the Liuyu Crystal and continuously comprehended and experienced the Space-Time Control comparable to that of the Universe Master!

This represents the strongest power he can unleash with this recently forged Sword of Destruction!

"Sword Hanging Like a Galaxy!"

On the central island, the powerful figures who had been granted the King-level and even a few Universe Venerable appeared one after another all showed surprise.

"Peak Technique!"

King Tongnan gasped, "This is a pinnacle technique! A pinnacle technique of the Space-Time Law!"

Even he only created his ultimate technique after reaching the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge in the realm of spacetime, thus becoming Invincible King-level.

Even the King Huanling, who was also a master of the Cosmic School, was momentarily lost in thought. The reason she possessed an almost Invincible King-level power with her Heavenly Bridge Heaven was because she had created a pinnacle technique of illusion. However, she had spent tens of millions of epochs to create this pinnacle technique.

"How exactly did he cultivate? Can a top-tier martial arts technique be created so easily?"

The vast majority of the ultimate techniques created by the Universe Venerable are only at the peak level, and the elite members from the five major forces on the important islands couldn't help but raise silent questions.

On the Heavenly Bridge, the gatekeeper, though surprised by Jiang Yao's Sword Hanging Like a Galaxy, showed no fear. Suddenly, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand, and he gracefully placed his hands together.

"Your Highness's ability to create a pinnacle technique is truly admirable, but I also possess a pinnacle technique." The gatekeeper loosened his grip.

Boom!

The invisible bowstring vibrated, and countless Extreme Point rays of starlight instantly illuminated the edge of the black hole and the cosmos.

The space could no longer be sustained, breaking apart inch by inch and collapsing completely. In an instant, it spread for countless kilometers, tearing apart all tangible and intangible matter along its path, even light.

Myriad Phenomena Destruction!

The defenders chose to fight fire with fire!

For a moment, nothing could be seen; a blazing inferno stretched out, boundless and vast. Space shattered amidst the aftershocks, creating a scene resembling the cataclysmic Great Destruction of the universe!

Absolutely terrifying!

On the central island, King Zhenyan's eyes gleamed with excitement, his gaze filled with surging battle intent. "I've long heard that the Annihilation Intent is the strongest intent of the Dao of Combining the Space-Time Law! Seeing it today, it's indeed true. Attack against attack! Exhilarating!"

The other Immortal Expert nodded in agreement, and many even showed expressions of dazzle and wonder.

In this battle depicted on the floating screen, both sides are at the World Lord Level, and the medium through which they wield power is the World Force. Furthermore, their application of the laws has reached the limit of Immortal God.

If the World Force were replaced by Immortal Divine Power at the level of Peak King-level or Invincible King-level, the power of this battle would be a genuine battle at the pinnacle of immortality, even causing Universe Venerable to take notice.

"Both sides are using their ultimate techniques, but Jiang Yao's Law Comprehension is still a notch below, and he is no match for the gatekeeper." King Tianyu, the strongest grandmaster of the Cosmic School who had just descended to the Heavenly Bridge Plane, sighed.

Everyone agreed, but no one felt sorry for Jiang Yao. If they were in each other's shoes, and Jiang Yao had become Immortal God, using his Immortal Divine Power at the King Level to unleash his ultimate techniques, most of the King-level Immortal present would not be his match. Perhaps only the Invincible King-level powerhouse could suppress him.

"Your Highness, you should be proud to have made it this far. However, your Annihilation Intent is not strong enough, Super Divine Weapon is not yet perfect. You simply cannot—what!"

The gatekeeper's composure and elegance were replaced by astonishment.

At this moment, Jiang Yao's eyes were filled with madness, and the veins on his face bulged. It was as if he had returned to the extreme state where he had once drawn upon the Origin Blood Essence of the Desolate God Bizhang, struggling to hold on amidst the backlash of the laws of the universe and the tug-of-war between the Origin Blood Essence.

Having overcome this ordeal, the powerful will that had reached the Universe Venerable level erupted at this moment!

His willpower and consciousness surged to their absolute limit, reaching an unprecedented state.

"Sword of Destruction!!" Jiang Yao roared hoarsely, his will as commander and his consciousness as general, leading the World Force Peak World Lord, following the profound meaning of the Water-Fire Fusion Law that Huanming Split Soul had once personally witnessed and experienced, killing the Zerg Mother Emperor in one blow.

The Great Destruction! The Great Calamity! It's as if the end of the universe has arrived!

Under immense pressure from his opponent, Jiang Yao forcefully integrated a trace of Water-Fire Fusion Law into the concept of the Space-Time Annihilation using his extremely strong will.

At this moment, the Annihilation Intent underwent a mysterious transformation.

The seven-foot-long Broken Sword, as black as ink, slowly grew back from its missing tip, spreading out a phantom image of the tip, as if finally completing this Sword of Destruction. This suddenly strengthened the Space-Time Annihilation Intent that was originally much weaker, making it strong enough to rival the Space-Time Law of the gatekeeper.

"So that's how it is! The Annihilation Intent can be used like this!"

In the spacetime destruction caused by the collision of two Annihilation Intent, Jiang Yao seemed to see a new world and gained new insights into the Space-Time Law. His consciousness was completely immersed in these insights.

Inside the palace Thunder Island the Virtual Universe, where air currents swirled, the Chaos City Lord's eyes gleamed with astonishment. "What... what kind of artistic conception is this? The Space-Time Law can change like this? Where did he obtain such insight...?"

"What terrifying willpower... Such a profound state of mind, it's incredibly powerful!" The gatekeeper's eyes flashed with extreme sharpness. "Kill!"

Boom!

The two Destruction attacks that made spacetime groan collided violently at this moment, and the Space Fragment were ground into a stream of particles, bursting out with a dazzling and unparalleled light!

You can't control me!

Jiang Yao's expression was calm yet resolute. His body soared into the sky with the Sword of Destruction, tearing through the starry sky and piercing straight into the black hole!

"You've won..." The guardian's body shattered, and his voice echoed through the starry sky.

Jiang Yao's body couldn't withstand the collision and explosion of the two powerful Destruction forces. His body collapsed, his Life Core shattered, and he perished!

But he succeeded!

Relying on his Universe Venerable level willpower and the profound changes in the Space-Time Annihilation Intent, Jiang Yao instantly unleashed a power sufficient to rival that of the gatekeepers whose understanding of the Space-Time Law surpassed his.

The gatekeeper died before him!

On the central island of the Heavenly Bridge Plane, apart from a few Universe Venerable such as Venerable Tianhe, all the King-level powerhouses such as King Tianyu and King Zhenyan were stunned with their mouths agape.

"He made it past the 20th floor!"

King Tongnan sighed with a half-smile, "The Cosmic School has given birth to a new grandmaster! A genius who has been comprehending the Universe Chaos Stele for less than 2500 years."

2500 years is a span of countless epochs of hardship and effort for these masters of the Cosmic School.
