After bidding farewell to Kasidela, Gulanxiu quickly arrived at his own apartment in the tower block. Looking at the living space of barely a hundred square meters, Gulanxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Having a hundred square meters of living space all to myself—I guess things are looking up! I'm still in the fast lane for law comprehension, so I'd better train for a while before taking on any missions!"

Thinking this, Gulanxiu shook his head and entered cultivation...

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

Over these twenty years, Gulanxiu had made considerable progress in his laws. Even without relying on tricks and directly clashing with the gatekeeper, he was confident he could break through to the fifth floor of the Sky Bridge.

As for the sixth floor, he had attempted it not long ago. After exchanging dozens of axe strikes, he ultimately proved no match for the gatekeeper and fell there!

Beyond that, Gulanxiu had also cultivated a soul secret technique called the Soul-Suppressing Demon Tower. This technique was created by a Universe Venerable skilled in soul arts. To purchase it, Gulanxiu spent a full thirty thousand points, and then another eighty thousand-plus points on cultivation materials.

Still, compared to the formidable power of the Soul-Suppressing Demon Tower, it was all worth it.

The Soul-Suppressing Demon Tower was divided into nine layers. With Gulanxiu's current Cosmic Level cultivation, he could only master the first three layers. Upon mastering the technique, a small tower would form within his sea of consciousness.

This tower served two functions: soul defense and soul control. The small tower formed by the technique could guard the soul, defending against an opponent's soul attacks. Each layer mastered would create six tower beads within the soul, each capable of controlling one soul. So theoretically, Gulanxiu could now use soul control to dominate eighteen powerful beings.

In fact, if Gulanxiu had chosen an illusionist as his opponent this time, relying on the Soul-Suppressing Demon Tower's power and his own strong mental state, passing the sixth floor should not have been a problem. But after leaving Chaos City, without the tenfold point reward, he no longer wanted to use such shortcuts.

What surprised Gulanxiu, however, was that in these twenty years, not a single Universe Venerable had tried to take him as a disciple. Normally, his performance in the Illusion Sea should have caught the attention of a Venerable!

But regarding taking a master, Gulanxiu was now fairly laid-back. After all, at this stage, Barbarian Hammer King's guidance was sufficient for him. As for further down the line, his talent would continue to improve, naturally attracting the attention of even stronger beings.

"My cultivation speed is starting to slow down now. It's time to go out and take on some missions. All sorts of Cosmic Level training missions come with various opportunities—maybe they'll help me improve further!" Gulanxiu muttered to himself.

With that, he opened the mission list. Although he was currently in the Axe Fighting Arena and had no idea how far he was from Luo Feng's era, the Cosmic Level training missions were surprisingly similar to those of Luo Feng's time!

For instance, the death-grade missions like Hell Abyss and Demon Mountain, and the danger-grade missions like Bloodfall World and Dragon Tower Star, were already available.

Gulanxiu browsed through the many missions for a while before finally choosing the Bloodfall Continent mission.

After all, this was a mission world described in detail in the original story. He was more familiar with the opportunities and dangers of this world.

Moreover, the effects of the Bloodfall Crystal made Gulanxiu's mouth water.

Soon after Gulanxiu accepted the Bloodfall World mission, an email arrived, detailing the language and customs of Bloodfall World.

However, Gulanxiu did not receive the risk warnings that Luo Feng had in the original story.

From this, one could see the difference in style between the Axe Fighting Arena and the Virtual Universe Company.

In the original story, the Virtual Universe Company would mark the mortality rates of each training world, allowing trainees to prepare in advance. But the Axe Fighting Arena was different.

It only made a simple classification by difficulty. As for the specific mortality rate, you had to test it with your own life. Perhaps in the eyes of the Axe Fighting Arena, if you couldn't grow through danger, you could never become a strong one!

Anyway, as Gulanxiu saw it, the Axe Fighting Arena's training method was like raising poisonous insects—they wanted only the strongest one, and the rest were merely nourishment for that one's growth!

Still, fortunately, he had some understanding of the Bloodfall Continent. He used points to purchase a few things in advance to prepare for the trials of the Bloodfall Continent.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Gulanxiu had now arrived directly above the Bloodfall Continent. Below him was the mission destination—the Bloodfall Continent.

Above was a massive palace, the Sky Erosion Palace, which had suppressed the Bloodfall Continent for countless years.

Looking at the majestic palace not far away, a trace of longing flashed in Gulanxiu's eyes, but he didn't dwell on it. He simply plummeted downward.

Above the Bloodfall Continent were eighteen layers of sky. These eighteen layers were the limit of what the natives of the Bloodfall Continent could traverse.

At this moment, Gulanxiu wore a golden armor formed by Heavy Metal Stym, carried a blood-colored giant axe on his back, and exuded a powerful aura.

Due to the special nature of Heavy Metal Stym, Gulanxiu now appeared in both appearance and aura as a Domain Lord Level 9 powerhouse. Of course, on the Bloodfall Continent, this was called Domain Level 9.

"Boom!" Following gravity, Gulanxiu landed heavily on a vast grassland. Having just arrived with no map, he randomly chose a direction and flew outward.

Since Gulanxiu did not restrain his powerful aura, the wild beasts weaker than him all avoided him as he flew.

Half a day later, while flying, Gulanxiu suddenly sensed a powerful energy also flying toward him. From its aura, it was even stronger than Gulanxiu disguised by Heavy Metal Stym. Feeling the aggressive momentum, Gulanxiu knew the newcomer meant trouble. He couldn't help but pick up the Blood God Axe and stand ready.

Moments later, the creature flying toward Gulanxiu revealed its true form. It was a bizarre lifeform resembling an ankylosaurus from Jurassic Park.

The creature was dozens of meters long, covered in armor, with sharp claws and a terrifying tail club. It looked far from easy to deal with.

The creature approached without a word and suddenly swung its tail at Gulanxiu, the whistling tail club flashing with golden light.

Gulanxiu braced himself and swung his axe horizontally toward the creature's tail club. The space ahead twisted in stillness, and the strange creature's speed slowed slightly under this axe strike.

"Boom!" Gulanxiu's Blood God Axe clashed head-on with the creature's tail club in a straightforward collision of pure force!

Ripples drifted through the air, and Gulanxiu's body was sent flying backward, clearly at a disadvantage in this contest of strength.

Of course, the strange creature wasn't having an easy time either. The Blood God Axe was originally designed for Immortal-level beings, giving it a clear advantage in sharpness and hardness.

Though the creature's tail club was the hardest organ on its body, how could it compare to Gulanxiu's Blood God Axe?

Under Gulanxiu's attack, the ankylosaurus-like creature's tail club was cut more than halfway through, leaving only a small piece of flesh and skin still attached.
