Overwhelming Clearance

In the Heavenly Bridge plane, Li Che did not wait long at the port before a robust human youth was teleported out. That little Universe Level fellow stared blankly for a full moment before realizing his failure.

Then, he let out a soft sigh, bowed slightly to Li Che, and vanished from the Heavenly Bridge plane.

Challenging the Heavenly Bridge was no simple matter, whether for those growing geniuses within the clan or those long-famed powerhouses.

This little fellow looked somewhat familiar; he seemed to be either the fifth or sixth place-holder in this Peak Genius Battle...

Watching that little Universe Level fellow disappear, Li Che wore a trace of a smile on his face. With a single stride, he vanished from his spot and appeared within another independent virtual space.

That was a space shrouded in hazy mist, vast in area. All kinds of decorations were identical to the details of the Heavenly Bridge Li Che had seen from the Heavenly Bridge plane, except that he had now gone from being a spectator to a bridge crosser.

Li Che strode forward on the bridge surface. After a moment, his path ahead was blocked by a patch of fog, and a wave of rumbling will transmission entered his ears.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a spirit reader controller, or a spirit reader illusionist. Choose any opponent you like. Defeating your opponent means passing the first level."

"A martial artist!" Li Che did not hesitate.

"Swish!"

Immediately, a mass of black liquid flew out from the clouds, transforming into a mysterious figure wearing a pitch-black mask. He stood overbearingly on the mandatory path ahead, holding a pitch-black iron rod in his hand, which was wreathed with faint lights of the earth and spatial laws.

World Force, gene level, physical strength, and so on were all completely identical to the current Li Che.

"Battle, begin!"

That figure's voice was deep and heavy. As soon as the voice fell, regardless of whether Li Che was ready or not, he abruptly rushed toward Li Che. His iron rod in hand was like a flood dragon in a raging tide, snapping toward Li Che.

In response, Li Che merely flashed lightly, pulling out a near-real spatial afterimage of himself. He effortlessly dodged that overbearing rod, then turned his palm into a blade, chopping down on the mysterious person's back of the head.

"Thud!"

That head instantly burst apart.

The first level of the Heavenly Bridge, cleared!

The next moment, Li Che only felt the large expanse of fog ahead instantly scatter, and a more beautiful and broad path appeared before his eyes.

He continued forward without hesitation. With a World Lord-level traveling speed, in just a short moment, he had once again reached the end of the mist.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a spirit reader controller, or a spirit reader illusionist. Choose any opponent you like. Defeating your opponent means passing the second level."

The same voice, the same question.

"A martial artist!"

Li Che still did not hesitate.

A mass of black liquid appeared once more. It wriggled and transformed into a stalwart figure wearing a pitch-black mask. The earth and spatial Origin Laws powers flowing on the iron rod in his hand grew increasingly powerful.

Li Che simply strode forward, raised his palm, and chopped down.

"Thud!"

The mysterious figure's head was once again slashed flying away.

The second level, cleared!

"Sigh!"

Li Che sighed softly, exerted force through his feet, and abruptly rushed toward the further depths of the Heavenly Bridge.

The opponents in the early stages of the Heavenly Bridge were simply too weak. What he needed were more powerful opponents, but constrained by the rules, he had to go through this process.

A few minutes later, on the Heavenly Bridge, Li Che raised his hand once again, a palm-blade shattering the opponent of the third level.

Then came the fourth level, the fifth level, the sixth level, the seventh level...

Every time he reached a brand-new Heavenly Bridge, Li Che would choose the martial artist, and he would always wait earnestly for the opponent to make a move, using this to judge the opponent's strength.

Unfortunately, these opponents, originally prepared for Universe Levels and Domain Lords, were truly too weak in Li Che's view. Even with identical physical qualities, there was simply not the slightest possibility of resistance.

Li Che was like a god of slaughter, striding all the way forward on the Heavenly Bridge. Not a single opponent could make him take them seriously; he needed no weapons and no armor-with just one person and one palm, it was enough for him to instantly kill all opponents.

Of course, he also clearly felt that his opponents were gradually growing stronger.

Judging from Li Che's personal physical sensation, every three levels, the strength of the Heavenly Bridge opponents would undergo a qualitative leap. Especially upon reaching the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, arriving at the theoretical threshold of the Undying Deity level, Li Che had to psych himself up to respond.

Of course, it was only slightly serious.

The tenth level, the eleventh level, the twelfth level, the thirteenth level, the fourteenth level...

These five levels all represented the stage where Immortal Military Lords resided. To be able to occupy five levels on the Heavenly Bridge, whose strength division was exceptionally strict, one could imagine the massive gap in law comprehension among Immortal Military Lords.

Such as the Undying Deities who passed the 10th level of the Heavenly Bridge, they belonged to the weakest circle of the Immortals. They were often just fellows who had just broken through, with basic strength around 100 times the peak World Lord force, low law comprehension, and at the same time poor to the core, often unable to even scrape together a thousand Hunyuan Units.

Many such Undying Deities would simply pilot an E9-standard spaceship and head to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, going to that cruel battlefield to enhance their strength and accumulate wealth.

Those who passed the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge had basically cast off the stage of the weakest Immortal Military Lords. Although they still could not be considered very strong, they could already be considered to have entered the inner chamber.

As for the Immortals whose law comprehension reached the 12th level, they were considered to have reached a brand-new level, becoming the backbone strength among the Immortal Military Lords.

Immortals at this level were widely recognized military lords on the battlefield. They could lead large-scale cosmic armies to fight on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, or form immortal squads to carry out some exploration and adventures on the periphery of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Those whose law comprehension reached the 13th level of the Heavenly Bridge already held a fairly high status among the Immortal Military Lords.

Immortals whose law comprehension reached this stage had often experienced a long accumulation of time. Their wealth could be considered abundant, their weapons, battle armor, and other matching equipment were complete, and they had basically accumulated a group of World Lords under their command.

Military lords at this level could cruelly spend some money to take charge of a medium-civilization universe kingdom, guarding the peace and stability of countless hundreds of millions of trillions of people in a huge star domain, or they could join the interior of the Five Major Powers to serve as captain of the guard squads for core-layer genius members.

According to Li Che's evaluation, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, the two military lords from his hometown, both barely passed the 13th level of the Heavenly Bridge.

As for those whose law comprehension reached the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge, such Immortals were already quite powerful. Many of them had already mastered the undying body, worthy of the title of top Immortal Military Lord.

Li Che deduced that Huyan Bo's law comprehension was at the level of the peak of the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge or barely passing the 15th level.

Yet under the condition of identical physical attributes, the law comprehension standards of these opponents were nothing in Li Che's eyes.

He did not draw weapons, merely displaying the mysteries of the Spatial Annihilation law. Punching with fists, kicking with feet, headbutting and knee-bumping, he effortlessly broke through all of his opponents' attacks.

He cleared the levels all the way with a posture of complete overwhelming dominance, and soon arrived at the new stage of the Heavenly Bridge, choosing to challenge the opponent of the fifteenth level.

According to the information of the Giant Axe Battle Arena, the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge was like a dividing-line level within the interior of Undying Deities.

Passing the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge was one of the important evaluation indicators used by the Five Major Powers to judge whether an Immortal had the qualifications to reach the Marquis-level standard.

For this critical level, Li Che finally turned completely serious.

For this battle, Li Che deployed secret arts on the Heavenly Bridge for the first time. That was one of the fist techniques recorded in "Black Hole Evolution", which Li Che had further adapted and improved according to his own situation.

"Great Collapse Fist!"

"Boom!"

Reaching out with a single punch, the opponent of the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge had no opportunity for the slightest resistance before being directly crushed into nothingness.
