Fifty Years, Comprehending 108 Essences

The Eighth Diagram and Ninth Diagram involve deeper levels of evolution that have already exceeded the scope of what he can currently comprehend.

This is precisely why following the path laid out by the Chaos Stele step by step inevitably leads to becoming a powerhouse—because it is the most orthodox cultivation route already summarized and refined.

Qian Yu devoured Floating Blood with insatiable hunger, matching each description of the 108 Essences of Space Law to the patterns on the Chaos Stele.

His original comprehension of Space Law was already extremely profound.

Over the years, he had nurtured the Primordial Dao Tree clone, spent a century in enlightenment, and then acquired the Wild Beast Clone, causing his law comprehension speed to skyrocket once more.

Though he had never systematically organized it, his accumulated insights were already deep enough.

Now, with the complete roadmap of Floating Blood in hand, it was like retracing a path he had already walked, using a map—copying the pattern from a model, naturally progressing at lightning speed.

What had once been blurry instantly became clear.

What had once been chaotic insights were instantly organized into a system.

What had once been mysteries known only by their effects, not their causes, suddenly found theoretical grounding.

The Primordial Dao Tree swayed gently in the mysterious space, countless insights gushing forth like a spring.

The Wild Beast Clone continuously practiced within the Inner World, verifying each mystery one by one.

Qian Yu was completely immersed, forgetting the passage of time.

One year.

Two years.

Five years.

Eight years.

Ten years.

On a certain day in the fiftieth year, when Qian Yu awoke from cultivation, his eyes shimmered with an unprecedented light.

The 108 Essences of Space Law.

All comprehended to perfection.

A certain peerless genius of the past, Luo Luo, the creator of Floating Blood, had taken three thousand years at the Realm Lord Level to reach this step.

And he had done it in only fifty years.

No, to be precise, he had spent fifty years organizing his insights, plus the century of accumulation before that.

But even so, this speed was enough to shock anyone.

Of course, Qian Yu himself knew that his speed was thanks to the heaven-defying assistance of the Primordial Dao Tree and the Wild Beast Clone, as well as the guidance of the complete roadmap in Floating Blood.

Copying a pattern from a model was naturally much faster than groping in the dark from scratch.

"108 Essences..."

Qian Yu murmured, raising his hand and gently clenching it.

Within his palm, space instantly solidified, forming a transparent cube.

With a slight thought, the cube shattered into countless tiny space fragments, each one spinning in his palm without touching the others.

With another thought, those fragments instantly reassembled into a Space Blade, dancing at his fingertip.

This level of control over space was something he could not have imagined ten years ago.

"Time to challenge the Heavenly Bridge."

Qian Yu stood up, a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The tenth floor from fifty years ago now seemed like child's play to him.

He wanted to know how far he could go.

"Azure Luan, apply to enter the Heavenly Bridge Plane."

In the Heavenly Bridge Plane, that beautiful island floated silently above the endless ocean.

The guardian Bafen was there as always, unchanged for countless years.

His gaze occasionally swept over the fifty-two long bridges extending to the horizon, and sometimes fell upon the occasional challengers appearing on the island.

Suddenly, a figure materialized out of thin air.

Bafen turned his head, a smile spreading across his face.

"Oh, it's you, Qian Yu."

He walked over with a smile.

"You haven't challenged the Heavenly Bridge in fifty years. I thought you'd forgotten this place."

Qian Yu looked at him and replied with a smile.

"Haha, Guardian, you jest. These fifty years I've been diligently cultivating. My law comprehension is vastly different from what it was fifty years ago."

Bafen looked him up and down, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"Oh? Looks like you'll be reaching higher floors this time?"

Bafen said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it. Go on in—no one's on the Nine Universe Heavenly Bridge right now."

Qian Yu nodded, a glint of battle intent flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, just watch me."

With those words, his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the Nine Universe Heavenly Bridge.

Chaos City, City Lord's Mansion.

Chaos City Lord sat upright in the great hall, faint streams of chaotic energy swirling around him.

Suddenly, his mind stirred as he received a message from the Virtual Universe.

"Qian Yu has gone to challenge the Heavenly Bridge."

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He might not pay much attention to others, but for a genius like Qian Yu—one with nearly a hundred percent potential to become a Universe Overlord—he was willing to invest a bit more focus.

After all, that was a Special Life Clone with a Gene Level of five thousand five hundred times.

And this kid had only spent fifty years organizing his insights into the laws. He was curious—fifty years later, just how far could Qian Yu go?

With a sweep of his divine sense, he peered through the Virtual Universe and saw the scene within the Heavenly Bridge.

Heavenly Bridge, Eleventh Floor.

The moment Qian Yu stepped onto this floor, the Guardian on the opposite side coalesced into form.

"Come, my opponent!"

Without a single wasted word, he drew his blade and charged straight in!

The Guardian met him instantly!

Blade light flashed, space trembled!

Just three moves!

The Guardian's form froze, then dissolved into black mist and vanished.

Twelfth Floor.

Again, no wasted words, no probing.

Qian Yu erupted with full force from the very start!

This time, he used five moves.

As the Guardian dissipated, Chaos City Lord's lips curled slightly in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Just fifty years, and he's risen two floors..."

He murmured softly, a trace of approval in his eyes.

"This kid's talent has finally fully revealed itself."

The Tenth through Twelfth Floors of the Heavenly Bridge corresponded to fully comprehending all 108 Essences of Space Law.

Fifty years ago, when Qian Yu reached the Tenth Floor, it meant he had already touched that threshold.

And now, fifty years later, he had directly cleared the Eleventh and Twelfth Floors, proving he had completely mastered all 108 Essences.

This speed, even across the entire history of the human race, was nothing short of stunning.

Chaos City Lord withdrew his gaze, but soon cast it back again.

Because he saw that Qian Yu hadn't stopped.

He had stepped onto the Thirteenth Floor.

Heavenly Bridge Plane.

Qian Yu stood at the end of the Twelfth Floor, gazing at the bridge stretching out toward the star ahead. Excitement flickered in his eyes, along with a hint of madness.

"The Thirteenth Floor..."

He murmured.

He knew well that the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Floors of the Heavenly Bridge formed one checkpoint.

These three floors corresponded to fully comprehending all 108 Essences of Space Law.

But from the Thirteenth Floor onward, it was an entirely different level.

That was the stage of combination, application, and sublimation.

The difficulty would increase exponentially.

But he felt no fear at all—instead, he was filled with longing.

"Come on!"

He took a step forward, directly entering the thirteenth layer.

The scene before him shifted abruptly.

The Heavenly Bridge stretched across the starry sky, connecting directly from one planet to a blazing, fiery star.

Beneath the bridge lay endless void, and at its end, that star burned fiercely, releasing a terrifying heat capable of incinerating everything.

"Choose your opponent—Martial Artist, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat one of them, and you shall pass the thirteenth layer."

A rumbling voice echoed from the entire star.
