Virtual Universe, Heavenly Bridge Plane.

At the center of that beautiful island, a group of figures now stood.

"So many people."

As Feng Hui appeared, he saw several dozen young people already on the surrounding islands, and more were appearing one after another with a "shua" "shua." Clearly, the batch of over 900 geniuses all wanted to challenge the Heavenly Bridge one last time before leaving Chaos City.

Needless to say, only newcomers entering Chaos City for the first time could earn ten times the points for clearing the Heavenly Bridge within their 30 years there. Once they returned to Chaos City in the future, such a good deal would no longer be available.

These geniuses had a deep understanding of how important points were. Ten times the points reward was no small sum to them.

Here, clearing the third layer earned points comparable to those from clearing the sixth layer later on.

Moreover, Guge's breakthrough had spurred everyone on. All of them wanted to give it another try before leaving Chaos City.

"Kong Ji, the Mother Ancestor Heavenly Bridge is occupied right now. You're next in line."

The black-robed Guardian Bafen said with a smile as he arranged the order for challenging the Heavenly Bridge. Some geniuses who had no one ahead of them could go in immediately.

"Feng Hui, the Cosmic Heavenly Bridge is empty. Go ahead and challenge it."

"Alright!"

"Sou"

Feng Hui turned into a streak of light, flying straight toward the distant Cosmic Heavenly Bridge.

The first three layers of the Cosmic Heavenly Bridge were shrouded in mist, while the fourth and fifth layers were battered by howling winds, already at a great height.

The fifth layer of the Heavenly Bridge was so high above the sea below that one could only see the dark, raging winds of the fourth layer beneath, with no sight of the ocean.

Feng Hui stood on the bridge deck, looking at the tornado ahead.

The spinning tornado spoke: "Choose Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat your opponent to enter the sixth layer."

"Warrior!" Feng Hui said without hesitation.

"Chi chi"

From the tornado, a lean man in a silver battle suit, silver boots, and a silver mask flew out swiftly, holding a battle blade just like Feng Hui.

Without waiting for the Heavenly Bridge opponent to waste words, Feng Hui cleanly and decisively ended the fight, passing the fifth layer.

Although the fifth layer corresponded to the second diagram of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, fully comprehending the nine mysteries of time and space contained in the first diagram was already enough to clear the fifth layer. And Feng Hui had long since begun his insights into the second diagram.

"Feng Hui passed the fifth layer?"

"How could it be that easy? I heard that in the last Genius War, the best newcomer only reached the fourth layer in 30 years in Chaos City."

"The higher you go, the harder it gets. Breaking through the fifth layer is extremely, extremely difficult. How did Feng Hui pass it so easily?"

"Crazy, crazy. That Feng Hui is too insane."

This batch of geniuses, along with Guge—who had just cleared the fourth layer of the Heavenly Bridge but failed on the fifth, his consciousness returning to the Primordial Region of the Virtual Universe—were all stunned.

"I only just passed the fourth layer, and Feng Hui, you've already passed the fifth?" Guge gripped the ancient battle blade in his hand, flames burning in his eyes.

The unyielding Guge had already marked Feng Hui as a major rival, determined to compete with him in the future.

At this moment, Feng Hui had already reached the sixth layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

Amid the howling gale, he stood on the bridge deck, looking at the tornado before him. He closed his eyes slightly, adjusting his state to its peak.

"Warrior." Feng Hui didn't hesitate.

Instantly, a figure flew out from the tornado—another Silver-clad Man.

He said coldly, "A Cosmic Level youngster who's only been in Chaos City for 30 years wants to clear the sixth layer of the Heavenly Bridge? No one has done it in nearly ten million years. I hope you can last a little longer against me."

"If I didn't have some confidence, I wouldn't be here." Feng Hui smiled faintly.

After receiving the Space-Time Inheritance from the Cosmic Emperor, he had been reborn, a completely different person from before.

In the roaring winds of the Heavenly Bridge, two figures crossed paths like lightning. Both wielded battle blades, and every clash stirred up layers of ripples in time and space, showcasing their profound understanding and exquisite application of the Laws of Space and Time.

The figure on the left, clad in a black battle suit, seemed to cut through space with every swing of his blade, while also twisting the flow of time, forming complex spatiotemporal patterns that made his attacks elusive and impossible to defend against.

The figure on the right, dressed in silver, had a blade that shimmered like starlight fallen to the mortal world. His defense and counterattacks were like the light of dawn—bright and full of life.

Their duel, accompanied by the distortion of time and space, made the entire Heavenly Bridge seem like a stage for them to display their mastery of the Laws of Time and Space.

"Time to end this."

Feng Hui's eyes turned icy cold as he instantly unleashed his current peak strength.

A dazzling blade light tore through the stagnant air, falling like a falling star with unmatched momentum and sharpness. Time and space seemed to tremble before the blade. It knocked aside the opponent's weapon and directly swept past his head.

Sixth layer of the Heavenly Bridge—cleared!

"Nothing special." Feng Hui smiled.

The Silver-clad Man on the sixth layer of the Heavenly Bridge had displayed power equivalent to fully comprehending the second diagram of the Cosmic Chaos Stele—a perfect score of 100 points—and the might that came with it.

Under normal circumstances, a challenger must achieve a qualified understanding of the second diagram, scoring 100 points, before they can pass the sixth layer.

Feng Hui, however, walked the path of dissecting the essence of laws. He had already fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the Time Law and the Law of Space contained in the second diagram, which meant that on top of meeting the qualification standard, he had also answered the bonus questions correctly.

In other words, his overall comprehension of the second diagram was not merely 100 points—he had additional points from the bonus questions, bringing his total score far beyond 100.

Thus, he could easily pass the sixth layer of the Heavenly Bridge.

On the other side, Wind King, who had been idly chatting with a friend at Thunder Blade King's residence, felt a stir in his expression once more.

He had come here on behalf of the Venerable to receive these newcomers and was also responsible for gathering information about them. Naturally, he had long since instructed Guardian Bafen of the Heavenly Bridge to notify him immediately if any of these newcomers made a breakthrough.

Earlier, when Feng Hui passed the fifth layer of the Heavenly Bridge, it was still within Wind King's expectations, so he hadn't been too surprised.

But now that Feng Hui had passed the sixth layer—and passed it so effortlessly—Wind King could no longer sit still.

Logically speaking, when challenging the Heavenly Bridge, each subsequent layer should take progressively longer to clear!

Based on Feng Hui's previous performance, Wind King had estimated that Feng Hui would need to wait several decades after leaving Chaos City before he could pass the sixth layer. That had seemed like a reasonable assumption to him.

Unfortunately, it was the unreasonable ones who were truly called geniuses!

Feng Hui had been utterly unremarkable during the Genius War. When he first arrived in Chaos City, he couldn't even pass the first layer of the Heavenly Bridge. Now, in just thirty years, he could so easily clear the sixth layer.

This rate of progress... was insane. Could it be... that he might even pass the seventh layer?

Wind King stopped chatting with Thunder Blade King and immediately sent his consciousness into the "Heavenly Bridge Plane" within the Virtual Universe.

Thunder Blade King followed him in.

Soon, on the beautiful island of the Heavenly Bridge Plane, a group of powerful Immortal Gods had already gathered.

Among them were some sect masters of the Cosmos School, who, upon hearing that Feng Hui had easily passed the sixth layer, had come to observe his next performance. Nine Swords King was also among them.

Others had simply come to watch the excitement.

Clearly, Feng Hui's astonishing performance on the Heavenly Bridge had piqued the interest of these Immortal Gods.

It had been a very, very long time since a genius with such a shocking rate of progress had appeared.
