Pass

To have gained the recognition of the Time Origin Law after only a little over one hundred thousand years of cultivation—such talent is completely on par with, or perhaps even exceeds, that of Heavenly Feather King. As long as he does not fall prematurely, there is even a sliver of a chance for him to become a Venerable in the future. How could this not stir the hearts of a group of Venerables?

After successfully gaining the recognition of the Time Origin Law, Ye Muxuan was no longer in such a sorry state when battling the Gatekeeper. Although it was only a slight difference in the progress of his comprehension of the time laws, it represented a massive leap in the essence of his law comprehension. It meant the power of his self-created secret techniques had leveled up once more, elevating him from barely reaching the King Level to officially stepping into the ranks of the King Level, allowing his self-created techniques to be called "top-tier secret techniques."

With his self-created top-tier secret technique—a blade technique at the King Level—Ye Muxuan could finally unleash his full strength.

After only a few strikes, a cold glint flashed across Ye Muxuan's eyes. The tip of his blade trembled slightly, using the time laws to influence his surroundings, causing the long blade he was parrying against to suddenly stall.

In the next instant, Ye Muxuan's long blade thrust toward the Gatekeeper's glabella!

The Gatekeeper tilted his head back, raised his hand, and gripped the blade... Time Law!

A streak of blood flowed down from his glabella; for the first time, the Gatekeeper had fallen into a disadvantage!

"It's useless. I haven't just gained the recognition of the Time Origin Law; I also know a thing or two about other laws." The Wind Shadow Blade in his hand swept out a brilliant blade light. The first form of the Two-Part Blade Technique, Wind Severing, had already reached the Marquis Rank! And now, infused with this higher level of law comprehension, this form faintly showed signs of reaching the Peak Marquis Rank!

As for the second form, it had stepped into the King Level.

When Heavenly Feather King was guiding him, he once said that when one begins to create secret techniques at the World Lord level, one generally creates about three forms throughout the entire Immortal stage, even for top-tier secret techniques. If one could create a fourth top-tier secret technique, it generally meant they could use it to step into the realm of a Venerable!

This "fourth top-tier secret technique" does not refer to a simple fourth move, but rather a fourth form that connects and builds upon the foundation of the first three. Under normal circumstances, the third form is already the limit for a King Level Immortal!

Take those Peak King Level or even Limit King Level experts, or the extremely rare Invincible King Level experts within their own races—they are all like this!

Over long, arduous years, those at the Limit King Level or Invincible King Level who are stuck at the Immortal stage and unable to break through often push their self-created top-tier secret techniques further, reaching the peak level in hopes of finding an opportunity to break through the Immortal stage and achieve the status of a Venerable.

As for Ye Muxuan now, his first form is based on the Origin Law of Wind, with the true intent of "severing all things," which has already been pushed to the Peak Marquis Rank. The second form incorporates his comprehension of the time laws; this form is truly and completely a top-tier secret technique!

Using his two self-created secret techniques in turn, Ye Muxuan attacked with near-maniacal intensity. Not only was his comprehension of the laws becoming increasingly proficient, but he also gained deeper insights following his recent recognition by the Time Origin Law.

A long defense will inevitably lead to a mistake!

The brilliant blade light rotated as the second form of the Two-Part Blade Technique, Time Distortion, slashed down ferociously!

This strike directly cleaved through the parry of the masked Gatekeeper. In the split second of time stagnation, the blade edge struck his Origin Bead!

"..." The Gatekeeper lowered his head. The eyes hidden beneath the mask drooped to look at the long blade piercing his chest, and the previously dim pupils suddenly brightened.

A crack appeared on the Origin Bead from the blade's edge, and then, the crack widened, beginning to shatter and turn into powder.

Origin Bead shattered, World Lord dies!

The eighteenth floor, cleared!

In Chaos City, on the path leading to the City Lord Mansion, Ye Muxuan looked at the City Lord Mansion hundreds of kilometers away. He took a step and landed at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion, looking up at the three universal characters: "City Lord Mansion"!

"Nine Phoenix, turn off all communication signals. For all incoming emails and call requests, reply uniformly that I am currently contemplating the Chaos Stele!" Feeling the three characters that seemed to form a space of their own, Ye Muxuan gained further insight into his own time laws.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Muxuan stepped forward and entered the City Lord Mansion. Not far ahead, he saw the massive bronze secret chamber and Kandeli, who was guarding the bronze door.

"Greetings, Senior. I would like to contemplate the Chaos Stele once now." Ye Muxuan stepped forward and bowed to the kind-faced Kandeli.

"You've broken through?" The kind-faced old man looked at the polite little fellow in front of him and smiled.

"Yes, I just cleared the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Bridge and received three opportunities for contemplation." Ye Muxuan stood up and said, "Before leaving Chaos City, I would like to use one now."

Kandeli closed his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened them and smiled, his voice softening slightly: "Not bad, you have three opportunities. Go in and contemplate; there is no one inside right now."

"Rumble~" The massive bronze door opened, and chaotic energy swirled, making it impossible to see the interior.

"Thank you!" After thanking him, Ye Muxuan took a step and entered the secret chamber. His gaze swept over the five diagrams in front and landed directly on the sixth.

Word spread like wildfire. The news that Ye Muxuan had cleared from the fifteenth to the eighteenth floor in his first attempt at the Heavenly Bridge in two thousand years was not only known to the World Lords and Immortals of the same batch, but it also swept through the Human Race powerhouses with great impact, entering the Hong Alliance, and even reaching the other three peak races hostile to the Human Race!

At the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, a snow-white, three-story spire palace appeared there.

"Come out!"

"Come out!"

"..."

With the demonic sound filling his brain, Ye Muxuan frowned and flew rapidly out of the secret chamber, and the sound lingering in his ears finally vanished. At the bronze gate outside, someone was already waiting there.

After bowing to Kandeli, Ye Muxuan left the City Lord Mansion.

"Nine Phoenix, there should be quite a few messages these past few days." Ye Muxuan walked slowly, heading toward his small gray building while connecting his consciousness to the virtual universe.

"Master, there are a total of 278 emails and 97 call requests. Among them, both Heavenly Feather King and White Phoenix Palace Master have sent emails and call requests." Inside the villa in the Heavenly Region, Nine Phoenix, perched on Ye Muxuan's shoulder, replied, "I have already replied to the messages uniformly according to your instructions."

Ye Muxuan opened the screen in front of him and quickly browsed through the messages. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't just Heavenly Feather King and his teacher, White Phoenix Palace Master, nor just Zhendan, Kong Yan, and Li Zheng; many King Level Immortals and even some Venerables had sent him emails!

Many Venerables knew that White Phoenix Palace Master had taken him as a registered disciple, but now, faced with a genius who had a sliver of a chance to become a Venerable, it was clear these Venerables could no longer sit still. They didn't care about ordinary King Level experts, but this kind of genius was an exception. Even if White Phoenix Palace Master was a super powerhouse at the Overlord level, she couldn't stop others from taking him as a disciple. Besides, no one had ever stipulated that a genius could only have one teacher!
