The 17th floor of the Universe Heavenly Bridge.
Lu Qingshan entered and found that it was different from before; the 17th-floor Heavenly Bridge was no longer the white, misty world it had been before.
On the contrary, above a giant planet, one only needs to look down to see the vast landmass beneath one's feet.
"It seems we've been in the void the whole time, and each time we cross a Heavenly Bridge, we fall downwards. We're almost at this huge planet now. If we pass through the 17th and enter the 18th, we'll probably land directly on the land below."
Lu Qingshan had a vague guess in his heart.
Directly opposite him.
Countless rays of light converged, and a figure dressed in a silver-gray robe slowly emerged.
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.
"At the mere World Lord Level, you've already reached the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge, the most difficult Universe Heavenly Bridge. You should be considered one of the most talented individuals in the last ten thousand epochs."
"Oh, so it sounds like there were people in the Universe School who were stronger than me at the World Lord stage ten thousand epochs ago?"
Lu Qingshan spoke with a smile.
Although the mechanism of the guardians of this Heavenly Bridge is unknown, they clearly possess intelligence and emotions, just like a highly Intelligent Life.
"Heh, the universe is so vast, and there are so many geniuses. The Heavenly Bridge has existed for billions of epochs, so naturally there are countless top geniuses... Don't even mention World Lord reaching the 17th floor; there have been World Lord who have even reached the 20th floor!"
The gray-robed man snorted.
"Now that you mention it, 17 floors really isn't much. However, I'm determined to conquer all 17 floors today. I wonder what the guardian of the 18th-floor Heavenly Bridge will say?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, and a dark brown Immortal Divine Weapon weapon appeared in his hand.
"Hmph! Getting past me won't be that easy. You'd better go back and spend another tens of thousands of years settling down."
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the man in the silver-gray robe.
"Seal up!"
He made the first move, intending to eliminate Lu Qingshan directly!
" The Space Lock within the Law of Space... no, it only Space Lock the smaller branches below."
After all, it's just a 17-story Heavenly Bridge; it's impossible for the three major branches of the true Higher Law to appear there, otherwise there would be absolutely no chance of passing through.
After the 'seal' tactic was used.
Lu Qingshan felt as if the space around him had become as viscous as paste, which greatly reduced his ability to teleport, making it difficult for him to effectively counterattack the opponent's attacks.
He knew they were about to attack!
Outside the Heavenly Bridge, a group of grandmasters summoned by Bafen's email were watching Lu Qingshan attempt to pass the challenge.
" Lu Qingshan was too careless. His Law Comprehension on the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge is equivalent to that of Peak Marquis. His use of law branches is far beyond what the previous gatekeepers could do. He didn't dodge the Space Lock in time... and lost the initiative. I'm afraid this time his breakthrough will be very difficult."
The one who spoke was Jianhuang King. As one of the grandmasters of the Nine Universes School, his understanding of the Space Origin Law was naturally unmatched by others. The moment the gatekeeper made his move, he saw the problem. It would be incredibly difficult for Lu Qingshan to pass this test!
"It's hard to say."
A burly ape-man dressed in golden armor shook his head, stroking his golden beard as he spoke.
"Hmm? True Yan King, you have a different opinion?"
True Yan King is also a grandmaster of the Nine Universes School, but his strength is much greater than that of Jianhuang King. He is truly Invincible King! He has the strength to escape from the hands of Universe Venerable.
"We'll see... I feel that Lu Qingshan shouldn't be so careless; perhaps he has his own trump card."
True Yan King's gaze was fixed on the scene of the battle.
"Hehe! That's hard to say. Maybe he just wanted to experience the power of the 17th level guardian before leaving Chaos City?"
After all, it's only a thousand years. Going from the 16th to the 17th level is practically impossible. Even Lian Luo and Kedi took far longer than a thousand years to go from the 16th to the 17th level. Besides, this is the Universe Chaos Stele!
As grandmasters who had cultivated in seclusion in Chaos City for many years, all the King Rank present knew the difficulty of the Universe Chaos Stele.
In the later stages of the Universe Chaos Stele, progress is primarily achieved through the simultaneous cultivation of Time-Space and time, advancing two Higher Law in parallel. This doubles the difficulty compared to other Chaos Stele...
The difficulty of conquering the 17th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge is comparable to the difficulty of conquering the 18th level of other schools 'Heavenly Bridge.
High difficulty does not necessarily mean a strong Law Comprehension.
The Law Comprehension of the other Chaos Stele ' 18-layer Heavenly Bridge can still crush the Law Comprehension of the 17-layer Universe Chaos Heavenly Bridge.
This is why, apart from those Venerable, very few people choose to study the Universe Chaos Stele.
In the eyes of many grandmasters, the Universe Chaos Stele was not intended for geniuses at all. Unless they were geniuses comparable to Tian Shi, Kedi, Shi Huo, the Universe Chaos Stele was more of a reference for Venerable walked the Path of Time and Space.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these grandmasters, who have been King Rank, have been talking for a long time; it's all just a matter of consciousness, though it only lasts for a fleeting moment.
Above the enormous planet, just as the gray-robed gatekeeper cleaved through the air with a single strike, Lu Qingshan's original figure slowly vanished from the spot, leaving behind only an Phantom Body.
His true form had already appeared thousands of miles away.
Space Travel?
The gatekeeper in the silver-gray robe showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. After learning that Lu Qingshan had mastered Space Travel, he knew that his seal was no longer meaningful.
"Kill!"
He decisively used his second move.
Strangulation!
Along with the Space Lock came a terrifying killing intent; if the Space Lock lasted even a moment, that terrifying killing intent could obliterate it!
However, Lu Qingshan's figure vanished again, leaving only a phantom behind.
"What! How could it be so fast!"
The gatekeeper in the silver-gray robe was astonished.
Logically speaking, most geniuses who reach this level only need to use the Space Lock to eliminate their opponents. Very few opponents would make him use his "kill" skill. Unexpectedly, both of his consecutive moves missed!
"Your agility is quite good, but is running away all you can do? If so, you won't get past me at all."
The gatekeeper's expression turned serious, and he no longer held back.
The two were blocked in tandem.
Lu Qingshan's Phantom Body darted through the sky above the planet at an almost extreme speed.
This change greatly surprised the King Rank Fengwang who was observing from the outside.
" True Yan King said earlier was correct. Lu Qingshan really does have a trump card; he can actually use Space Travel!"
"Not only that, if it were Space Travel, it would be impossible to evade the gatekeeper so many times. The gatekeeper's sealing technique, even with Space Travel, could only allow him to evade a few times at most. To be able to do it so easily, he must have other trump cards."
The King Anju, dressed in a long white robe, smiled slightly, " The Thousand Illusions King is right. This Prince Lu Qingshan uses not only Space Travel, but also the Time Acceleration Time Law. The combination of the two can increase the power of Space Travel countless times. The gatekeeper's sealing attack poses almost no threat to him."
"I see. It seems I suffered from not understanding the Time Law. But even so, Lu Qingshan can only dodge at most. Getting through this challenge won't be easy."
"That's true. If Lu Qingshan can't come up with any other solutions, the best they can hope for is a draw!"
"Even so, Lu Qingshan is not to be underestimated. To be able to remain undefeated in front of the gatekeeper is already terrifying. Don't forget, he only crossed the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge a thousand years ago."
"Yes, a thousand years! I took a nap a while ago, and it took several thousand years!"
"I really don't know how he comprehended the laws. A thousand years of comprehension is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of years for a World Lord Level like me."
In the Tongtian Bridge Plane, the guardian of the 17th floor has used the blockade method hundreds of times!
But each time, it was dodged...
A real opponent would probably be getting impatient by now.
"If you just keep dodging, you'll never get past me."
"After yet another failed attempt to blockade, the gatekeeper said coldly."
"You're absolutely right, so it's my turn to make my move!"
The next moment, Lu Qingshan's figure darted behind the gatekeeper.
" Qingshan First Form!"
With a single slash, the azure blade's light resembled an endless galaxy.
The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly. He didn't know Space Travel, but he could still easily dodge this attack.
However, in the instant he dodged...
Time Stagnation!
In an instant, time seemed to freeze around the gatekeeper in the silver-gray robe.
Time Stagnation, as an important sub-branch of Time Stop, can even be called 'mini -Time Stop '.
This was the first branch that Lu Qingshan mastered, and it is now the branch he is most proficient in.
"How is that possible!"
The powerful constraints of the Time Law made it difficult for the gatekeeper to even move.
Although the freeze lasts only about 0.1 seconds.
But in that mere 0.1 seconds, the unmatched blade of light had already struck him.
"Stop!"
The gatekeeper raised his sword to resist.
Boom boom boom!!!
With a single strike, Lu Qingshan shattered the defense and unleashed countless more blows!
Although its power cannot compare to Qingshan First Form, after Qingshan First Form breaks through the opponent's defense, his countless swords are enough to annihilate the opponent's body.
With a series of deafening roars, the gatekeeper's body was torn apart by overwhelming forces, turning into countless tiny specks of light that disappeared into the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
As Lu Qingshan's opponent, although he had some Law Comprehension of the peak of the Marquis Immortal, his body was still at the World Lord Level, and World Lord do not have Undying Body!
"You've passed the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge!"
pity!
Lu Qingshan looked at the Eighteenth Layer ahead and did not continue to advance. He seemed to be handling this battle with ease and everything under control, but in reality, he had already exposed his weaknesses.
Ample agility, but insufficient attack power!
Under the gatekeeper's control of Time Stagnation, his Qingshan First Form barely broke through the defense, and it was only after countless follow-up strikes that he finally annihilated the opponent.
If it were the guardian of the 18th floor, not to mention whether Time Stagnation could control the opponent, even if they had that ability, I simply wouldn't be able to break through their defenses!
The best outcome would be the same as at the beginning: dodging a few attacks from the opponent, only to be eliminated in the end.
There wasn't even a chance to dodge.
Because the transition from the 17th to the 18th floor is also a huge bottleneck.
If the level 18 guardian hadn't been playing games from the start, he would most likely have been killed instantly.
Since there are countless opportunities to cross the Heavenly Bridge, there's no need to humiliate yourself!
After Lu Qingshan crossed the 17th-level Heavenly Bridge, the King Rank outside were shocked.
True Yan King stroked his golden beard, a smile spreading across his face, "A genius! It's a pity he's not from our Nine Universes School, otherwise our Nine Universes School would have produced another grandmaster!"
Even Jianhuang King, who was also from the Nine Universes faction, did not refute this statement.
Lu Qingshan's speed in cultivating both Time-Space is already so fast. If he were to choose the Nine Universes Sect and specialize in Cultivation Space, he would surely make rapid progress every day. It probably wouldn't be long before he could cross the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge!
"Sharp!"
Jianhuang King left behind a single sentence and then vanished.
Only King Anju remained cheerful, as if everything was none of his concern.
"That kid Golden Sword lucky. Although he hasn't formally become a disciple, he's practically a student of this prince. With Lu Qingshan as his backer, he might actually get revenge for that."
King Anju heard his disciples complain more than once.
The disciple is Domain Lord of the Primordial Secret Realm. The missions sent out are just a few King Rank assignments. Golden Sword has now successfully followed the path of analyzing the essence of the Space Origin Law, comprehending all 108 essences. In the future, there is a high probability that he will become King-level Immortal.
By then...
King Anju chuckled, seemingly quite expectant!
