In another Cosmic Secret Realm, within the Golden Crow Hall atop Viska Star, the entire Golden Crow Hall radiated a dazzling light, overshadowing the ten Viska Star and illuminating the entire Viska Star.
The entire population of Viska Star trembled under the Golden Light light, unaware of what had happened to the watchers in the Golden Crow Hall!
"Well done!"
The Venerable Golden Crow gazed into the void and smiled, "Those guys at the Giant Axe Arena actually said that Hong will soon surpass Zhang Junbao. Let's see where they put their old faces now!"
After being taken in as a disciple by the Giant Axe Founder, Hong rose to prominence and lived up to his reputation as the disciple of the Universe Supreme Master. They say that Zhang Junbao hasn't crossed the Heavenly Bridge for many years and has already exhausted his potential.
Even after Zhang Junbao slew the King Rank in the Outer Domain Battlefield, they still claimed that the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company had bestowed upon him a set of Supreme Treasure, and that he relied on these treasures to kill the Supreme Treasure.
"They turned a blind eye to the encirclement and slaughter of thousands of King Rank, and single-handedly obtained the Supreme Treasure left behind by the Eight God Race in the Outer Domain Battlefield, making countless Alien Race powerhouses envious. Yet they still refused to admit defeat, shamelessly abandoning all pretense!"
"So what if he's the disciple of humanity's strongest? Zhang Junbao, Universe Level being, ventured out of Viska Star. Who knows the dangers he faced better than me?"
Now that Zhang Junbao has overcome the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain and fought his way to the Twenty-first Layer the Universe Heavenly Bridge, it doesn't matter whether they admit defeat or not!
" The World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain, represents the strongest genius Law Comprehension is only one step away from becoming Universe Venerable."
He had even reached the realm of the Fusion Law earlier, stepping into the ranks of the powerful beings in the universe. Although Hong's progress was rapid, it was far too slow compared to Zhang Junbao's!
Venerable Golden Crow felt extremely pleased. Back then, when Hong was taken as a disciple by the strongest human being, Giant Axe, it was a topic of discussion among some of the top beings, such as Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, and Universe First Bank.
What keen eyesight they possess!
Although Hong's talent Pingping initially unremarkable, his mindset was exceptionally high. He always maintained his true self and faced almost no bottlenecks. Even if his progress was slow, he kept moving forward and would eventually become a super strong person. Such a mindset is truly rare in the universe.
Now, with the guidance of the Giant Axe Creator, the strongest being in human history, how could his cultivation not progress rapidly?
"The geniuses of his year, such as Rong Jun Bolan even Luo Feng, progressed very quickly, but still within the normal range."
"But Zhang Junbao, he sees everything in the universe directly from its origin, and even understands the Law governing them perfectly. Such a genius is destined to become Universe Venerable, and may even surpass us to become the Universe Master!"
"Now, the phrase 'a crippled top-tier expert' directly expresses the bitterness in the hearts of many Universe Venerable. Hahaha... In the eyes of others, Universe Venerable are already rare experts in the universe, each of them a powerful being who has fully comprehended a Higher Laws."
But the Universe Laws are not limited to just spacetime.
Are fundamental Law truly weaker than Higher Laws?
"If these Law are unimportant, why would the universe allow them to exist? Wouldn't it be better to let the universe evolve directly according to the Space-Time Law, and for everyone to comprehend these Space-Time Law?"
"Since the universe allows the fundamental Law to exist and evolves the universe based on the fundamental Law, it means that the fundamental Law are also part of the Universe Origin!"
Everyone now knows that the Space-Time Law are powerful, that they are Higher Laws, and that they disregard the fundamental Law. In this case, how can one truly comprehend the Universe Origin?
"Many Universe Venerable have painstakingly broken through to the next level only to find that in order to step into the Universe Master, they must either comprehend another Higher Laws or merge the basic Law with the Higher Laws."
"If fusing just one fundamental Law with Higher Laws can make one the Universe Master, then how powerful would one be if all fundamental Law were completely fused together?"
"The grandeur of the universe is awe-inspiring and fills us with boundless fear. Originally, the powerful beings at the beginning of the universe comprehended the Ten Great Laws separately in order to lower the threshold for comprehending the Universe Origin."
But now, how many people still remember why they did it?
They all regarded a single Law or the Space-Time Law as the supreme code, only to be dumbfounded when they encountered the Universe Venerable!
"At this point, it's virtually impossible to Fusion Law again! It's like two parts of a machine; it's much harder to build them together from the start, so they're built separately."
However, they overlooked the connection between the two, focusing only on perfecting themselves. By the time they wanted to cooperate, it was too late.
"Once you reach Immortal and fully comprehend a fundamental Law, the difficulty of comprehending the Space-Time Law increases by tens of thousands or even millions of times."
After painstakingly comprehending the Space-Time Law and reaching the level of Universe Venerable, the difficulty of Fusion Law increases a millionfold once again.
There are many Venerable in the universe, but only a handful of a few hundred can truly become the Universe Master.
In this way, what he thought was rapid progress and quick attainment of Immortal during his time as a World Lord was actually the opposite of what he intended.
The higher the level of a powerful individual, the stronger their resonance with Zhang Junbao's phrase "crippled powerhouse."
"Upon reaching the realm of Universe Venerable, it is no longer about comprehending a single Law. It's not that these powerful beings don't want to comprehend other Law or condense stronger Fusion Law, but rather that they cannot do so!" Although the gatekeeper is not a real person, he possesses the insights of a true Universe Venerable.
"The history of the universe is countless billions of epochs, and in all of humanity's records, there has never been a World Lord who has broken through to this level."
Despite countless geniuses, none can break the ironclad rules!
The difference World Lord and Venerable is too great!
Even if you have some understanding in your heart, if you haven't fully grasped the Law of transmission, then you haven't truly comprehended them!
Simply understanding the principles is not enough to translate into combat power!
Your Highness, how about taking one of my moves?
Although Zhang Junbao has a very thorough theoretical understanding of the universe, this cannot change the fact that his Law Comprehension is incomplete.
Otherwise, wouldn't countless philosophers in the universe be able to arbitrarily beat up the Universe Venerable?
Understanding the underlying principles and truly mastering the power behind them are not the same thing.
"Whether it works or not, we'll know after one battle. Let's make our move!"
"Good!" The gatekeeper smiled, his fighting spirit soaring.
Originally, fighting Zhang Junbao was just a task assigned to him by the Virtual Universe Network. But at this moment, this gatekeeper put aside his previous contempt and truly took Zhang Junbao seriously as an opponent of the same level.
"Your Highness, please enlighten me. This is the Twenty-first Layer, representing the true power of a fully Higher Laws. Seal it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful, invisible binding force descended instantly, freezing the surrounding space and causing the previously endless, terrifying pressure from the black hole to vanish abruptly.
Instead, a powerful binding force spread from all directions, instantly sealing Zhang Junbao in the solidified space, rendering him unable to move even a finger.
"The complete Space Law possess power beyond your imagination," the gatekeeper said elegantly. "I believe Your Highness will become a top-tier expert in the future, but it's too early now!"
What he was using was one of the three top-level secret techniques of the Space Law employed by the Space Venerable.
The three secret techniques for comprehending the Space Law at the King Rank- level are: Teleportation, Space Strangulation, and Space Lockdown!
Upon reaching the Venerable, these three secret techniques were further refined, evolving into Instantaneous Strike, Killing, and Sealing!
While they appear similar, their application of the Law has been elevated to the extreme, increasing their power a hundredfold!
Originally, the Space Lockdown of the King-level Immortal was merely to restrict Teleportation and suppress the opponent's movements. However, the 'seal' cast by the gatekeeper truly solidified the entire space.
Those who are strong within it are like ordinary people being encased in cement, unable to move!
The sealing and binding power was so strong that it could even suppress the Beast God.
However, Zhang Junbao's expression remained calm.
The solidified space around his body began to slowly melt, like ice meeting hot water.
"What!"
The gatekeeper stared at Zhang Junbao in surprise.
At this moment, the power within Zhang Junbao surged forth, exploding into a beam of light. World Projection appeared behind him, then rapidly shrank, enveloping only Zhang Junbao's body.
His World Projection originally possessed the ' Control of Space-Time ' characteristic of Universe Master. Although the gatekeeper's Space Lockdown was powerful, it could not withstand Zhang Junbao's Control of Space-Time.
You must always believe in the light!
A rainbow of light flowed around Zhang Junbao and then spread to the longsword in his hand.
His eyes seemed to transform into yin and yang poles, and a Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared behind him, slowly rotating.
The Taiji Eight Trigrams Diagram seems to transcend time and space, with each of the Bagua representing a fundamental Law, ultimately converging on the central Taiji Diagram.
The surrounding spacetime was no longer controlled by the gatekeeper, but fell into Zhang Junbao's hands. In a fraction of a second, Zhang Junbao broke through the Space Sealing around him.
"What kind of power of Law is this? It broke through my Space Lockdown so easily!"
" Zhang Junbao, you are indeed remarkable. I believe that even without Supreme Treasure, you could still defeat Peak King Rank. However, you must stop here!"
The gatekeeper's smile vanished, his expression turning solemn and focused. Countless rays of light shot out from behind him, condensing into a massive sword blade in mid-air. With a swift turn, a sword light, as if splitting the Heaven Opening, slashed down, instantly descending upon Zhang Junbao's head.
Wherever it passed, it carved a huge chasm in the space.
"Kill!"
This is another ultimate secret technique of the Space Law, the ultimate secret technique of slaughter!
Even if Invincible King, facing this sword, one would still be destined to be killed with a single blow.
"A method of annihilation through spacetime? Then I will counter it with a secret technique of spacetime."
The Space Lockdown could no longer suppress Zhang Junbao. He raised one hand, and a seven-colored Flowing Light spread across his longsword.
Time Makes People Grow Old, but my journey has not been in vain!
A soft clang of a sword echoed through the space, dissolving time and Space Lockdown shattered instantly, and even the sword light unleashed by the gatekeeper broke into starlight upon encountering Zhang Junbao's sword.
This sword strike seemed to originate from another universe; the spacetime magic used by the gatekeeper had absolutely no effect on its power.
With a single sword strike, Zhang Junbao shattered the gatekeeper's attack and sent him flying.
"He actually withstood my sword strike head-on!" The gatekeeper's face showed a shocked expression. "Incredible!"
"However, defeating me won't be that easy!"
The gatekeeper only possessed the Space-Time Law, so he unleashed a spacetime annihilation technique. Zhang Junbao, in turn, used his own comprehended Time-Space Fusion technique to contend with him!
However, the gatekeeper used a secret technique combining the Time Law and Space Law; he was unable to use a secret technique that Fusion Law laws of time.
However, Zhang Junbao used the Fusion Law.
In the Tongtian Bridge Plane, Guardian Bafen was watching Zhang Junbao's battle, was shocked by what he saw.
"The seal has actually been broken! Even the 'Kill' move has been shattered, and the gatekeeper has been sent flying!" Bafen's mouth gaped open, speechless, stunned for a long time.
All the gatekeepers may use different weapons and techniques, but the secret methods they employ are the same. Against ordinary weaklings, 'sealing' is sufficient; only against formidable opponents will they be forced to use 'killing'; and only when facing an equal opponent will they use 'instant kill', 'sealing', and 'instant kill' all at once.
The gatekeepers were clearly desperate at this point.
"Seal up!"
"Kill!"
"Instant!"
Three loud shouts erupted from the gatekeeper, as if commanding the universe and spacetime, and the power of the surrounding Space-Time Law condensed on the giant sword in front of him.
This time, he will unleash the complete Space-Time Law, the Strongest Secret Technique that is only used against opponents of the same level.
The gatekeeper's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his composure gone, replaced by murderous intent, revealing his strongest form.
The giant sword materialized once more, but this time, it appeared above Zhang Junbao's head in the blink of an eye, as if it had traveled through time and space.
Teleportation, Time Acceleration, Space Strangulation —the power of the Space-Time Law was utilized to the extreme.
"As time has passed, I have cultivated diligently for a thousand years, condensing all my past experiences on the path of Fusion Law, and finally transforming them into this one and only sword!" Zhang Junbao murmured, but the space around him began to distort.
A supreme realm of artistic conception spread out, and even the black hole could not affect him in the slightest. The Space Lockdown activated by the gatekeeper dissolved automatically when it landed next to Zhang Junbao, failing to imprison him.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao seemed to exist outside of this universe.
"The vast sky is boundless, and the Taiji stretches for countless eons!"
Zhang Junbao unleashed a sword strike, his only strike incorporating all the laws of the Law!
The sword strike that previously fused the Space-Time Law shattered the gatekeeper's secret technique of 'killing'. Now, the Ten Great Laws intertwine and merge, unleashing their brilliance.
Seven-Colored Flowing Light illuminated the entire space.
boom...
As the sword light fell, the gatekeeper and his secret technique vanished without a trace, and even the black hole that served as the backdrop of the battle was shattered by a single strike.
Endless light burst forth from it, just as Zhang Junbao had said at the beginning: always believe in the light!
P. S.: Anyone still waiting for an update? Here it is, fresh out of the oven!
Shamelessly asking for a monthly pass, always believe in the light!
