The end of the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, Mental Master Controller, or a psychic illusionist. Defeat your opponent to pass through the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge."

Ahead of Luo Ao was a huge cloud of mist, from which a voice emanated.

You must defeat your opponent for the clouds to dissipate before you can proceed to the next level of the Heavenly Bridge.

With his current Law Comprehension, the first three levels were not difficult at all, so he did not need to go all out. As soon as his opponent appeared, he killed him immediately, without any chance to resist.

"I choose the martial artist!" Luo Ao said coldly.

He himself followed the path of a martial artist, so naturally he chose to challenge other martial artists.

call!

A ball of black liquid flew out from the massive cloud, quickly condensing in mid-air into a mysterious figure dressed in black battle armor and wearing a mask. This mysterious figure carried a blood-red battle sword on his back, was tall, and exuded an aura of slaughter, coldly looking at Luo Ao.

"Draw your weapons!"

"Come on." A crimson battle sword instantly appeared in Luo Ao's right hand. The sword was completely transparent, and the faint phantom of a long fiery dragon could be seen through it.

This battle sword is quite famous, named ' Flame Dragon '. It is also a top-grade Fifth-Order Force Weapon, completely comparable to the Nine Divine Weapons of the Controller.

However, the weapons used by martial artists are too diverse, including various types such as swords, sabers, and halberds, making it impossible to determine a universally recognized ' Nine Great Divine Weapons for Martial Artists' like the lineage of the Controller.

"How dare you underestimate me?" Seeing that the other party was taking the initiative to attack, the man in black snorted coldly and then rushed towards Luo Ao like lightning, his blood-red sword flashing in a strange arc.

Luo Ao's eyes, however, remained calm, showing neither sorrow nor joy.

laugh!

A dazzling sword light shone forth!

This sword light, like a dragon soaring through the heavens, contained the essence of the Space Origin Law. Following the most essential arc of the spatial ripples, it swept directly across the head of the man in black like a fleeting phantom before retracting.

Blood splattered!

"How could this be!" The man in black's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't even properly engaged Luo Ao in battle before he was already dead, and then he turned into black liquid and merged back into the white mist.

"The fifth level!" Luo Ao watched as the white mist dissipated, revealing the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge extending upwards. From the fifth level onwards, he would have to get a little more serious.

Watching Luo Ao rapidly soar into the sky, then rush along the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge towards its end.

Outside the Heavenly Bridge, the scene was deathly silent!

A large group of Immortal God stared at the screen in shock, their eyes filled with horror.

They had previously thought that by the fourth level, they would at least be able to see some of their opponent's trump cards.

Considering this was their first time trying this place, reaching the fourth level was already quite an achievement!

They had imagined the other side struggling through the fourth level, but they never expected the other side to be so relaxed and carefree.

If you didn't know better, you'd think that was the first floor.

The two stars in the Flame Dragon King's eyes burned fiercely as he declared in a bold voice, "His sword strike just now clearly demonstrated that he had thoroughly studied the first ' Raindrop Diagram.' That sword strike looked simple, but it had already completely incorporated the nine most fundamental spatial mysteries, so its power was naturally incomparably strong."

"That's right, this kid is truly a prodigy." The ape-man, the True Yan King Zhenyan, also marveled inwardly.

These individuals were all top-tier figures within the Nine Universes School, so they could easily discern the hidden meaning behind Luo Ao's sword strike.

But it's precisely because I saw it that it felt so incredible.

Analyzing the Law Essence is no easy task. Even that promising young fellow Luo Feng has only just begun to make progress.

"Given his relaxed demeanor just now, he might even be able to pass the fifth level. In the past tens of millions of years, the best result anyone could achieve before leaving Chaos City was the fifth level. On average, only one genius out of thirty Genius Battle could pass the fifth level, and in some battles, the overall level was so low that no one could even pass the fourth level."

"This Luo Ao has only just begun his cultivation in Chaos City, and he's already going to clear the fifth level on his first try? I bet even some of the Venerables are tempted." Hearing the other King Rank ' exclamations, the Flame Dragon King immediately felt a surge of tension.

Indeed, the other party's performance could attract the attention of a Venerable One. Once a Venerable One takes on a disciple, he will naturally be out of the picture.

"Fifth floor."

Luo Ao stood on the bridge, watching the howling Tornado ahead.

The constantly spinning Tornado emitted a voice. "Choose a Warrior, Controller, or an Illusionist. Defeat your opponent to enter the sixth level."

"A martial artist!" Luo Ao said without hesitation.

call!

A lean man dressed in Silver Battle Suit, silver boots, and a silver mask flew swiftly out of the Tornado. He wore the boots and carried a dark red longsword, his weapon being the same type as Luo Ao's.

" Universe Level being trying to conquer the fifth level? Quite confident," the silver-clad man sneered. "Show me your full strength, or you won't even be able to put up a fight."

"Resist?"

Luo Ao sneered as he looked at the silver-clad man standing in front of the Tornado in the distance, then raised his sword.

If you survive one of my attacks, you win!

As Luo Ao spoke, he instantly transformed into a red phantom and rushed forward. The silver-clad man, not to be outdone, also charged forward with his battle sword.

The two met in mid-air, Silver-Clad Man instantly split into eighty-one Phantom Body. The long sword in the hand of each Phantom Body simultaneously emitted dazzling, terrifying sword light like the sun.

Eighty-one Phantom Body densely filled the space, arranged in a staggered pattern. Countless sword lights intertwined to form a net, eventually forming layers of fishing nets that rapidly surrounded Luo Ao in the air, attempting to entangle him.

The seemingly gentle layers of 'fishing net' actually contain the power of the Space Origin Law. Once trapped, a person will be instantly cut to pieces!

"Take this move too, Space Stagnation!" A series of huge sword lights appeared in front of Luo Ao, but they formed a huge Ring Domain composed of twisted, ribbon-like sword lights. As this Ring Domain expanded, the surrounding space instantly froze as if it were frozen.

Under the immense pressure of this binding force, all of the Silver-Clad Man's Phantom Body forms instantly became sluggish, showing signs of dissipating.

"What!"

The man in silver looked at Luo Ao in astonishment.

Luo Ao smiled at him, then handed over his long sword, destroying seven or eight Phantom Body forms that blocked his true form with overwhelming force.

"No! It's too late, I can't escape!" The Silver-Clad Man tried desperately to unleash his power, but he was like a mosquito trapped in a spider web, his body stiff and rigid. Even the power of the spatial Origin of Laws he had summoned seemed to have been weakened.

"You think you can escape from my Space Domain?"

Luo Ao directly used the binding force of 'Space Stagnation' to affect all of the opponent's Phantom Body and real bodies. The Phantom Body were directly broken by him, and the real body also moved slowly.

He himself, however, felt completely at ease in this 'stagnant space,' naturally able to easily approach the other person's figure.

"It's over!" In the void, one of the Silver-Clad Man was struggling to move. Among all the Phantom Body, only this ' Phantom Body ' was different, and it could still barely resist the Spatial Binding. Naturally, it was the real body.

" Ceasing Sword!" Luo Ao thrust out his sword, and the powerful Spatial Binding force of the surrounding domain condensed towards the tip of the sword, with spatial ripples spreading in all directions.

It aimed straight for the silver-clad man's brow!

The Silver-Clad Man remained unfazed, instead laughing loudly, "Impressive! Impressive! You win."

He suddenly swung his dark red battle sword, aiming it at Luo Ao as well! In Luo Ao's 'stagnant space,' he couldn't activate his normal Phantom Body to escape, and could only fight head-on with his opponent. However, he was greatly suppressed here, so he was naturally no match for his opponent.

As expected, although the Silver-Clad Man's sword strike also unleashed a considerable amount of Space Laws power, generating a powerful spatial shockwave, that power was clearly much weaker than Luo Ao's.

"Boom!" The Silver-Clad Man's sword was noticeably slower and couldn't even touch Luo Ao, while Luo Ao's sword seemed to be divinely aided, swiftly descending upon his brow.

"Boom!"

The terrifying sword strike, which gathered a large amount of power from the Space Origin Law, suddenly unleashed a terrifying tearing force. Starting from the head, the Silver-Clad Man instantly disintegrated, his body shattering in the void.

Fifth layer, through!

"The sixth floor!" Luo Ao focused his gaze, staring ahead.

The Tornado in front of them suddenly dissipated, extending towards the Heavenly Bridge on the sixth floor above. Luo Ao transformed into a red Flowing Light and quickly flew along the Heavenly Bridge.

Tongtian Bridge Plane, Central Island.

These Immortal God watched on the screen as Luo Ao fought his opponent and then killed him again, feeling as if they could hardly breathe.

"The fifth level! He really passed it!" In the eyes of the Flame Dragon King, two stars instantly ignited with intense flames.

True Yan King was still in shock. "You all saw his move just now, right? That was ' Spatial Binding '?"

The Space Laws can be divided into three main categories: Teleportation, Space Strangulation, and Space Lockdown. Each of these categories is further divided into many sub-levels. For example, " Space Lockdown " can be subdivided into several other sub-levels such as " Spatial Binding " and " Space Suppression ".

" Spatial Binding," while not a true " Space Lockdown," can be seen as a prototype of " Space Lockdown."

Moreover, Luo Ao's final " Ceasing Sword " is one of the strongest Combat Secret Technique that can be demonstrated by Law Comprehension at the level of " Spatial Binding ".

"How is this possible!"

The Immortal God present could hardly believe their eyes.

To comprehend the First Diagram to its fullest extent and grasp the Law Essence is already extremely terrifying. But Luo Ao has even comprehended several basic mysteries from the Second Diagram and learned the Combat Secret Technique ' Ceasing Sword '.

It should be noted that the nine spatial Law Essence in the First Diagram are essentially the most basic and easiest, yet even some brilliant geniuses may not be able to fully comprehend them before their lifespan ends.

The Law Essence in the Second Diagram are many times more difficult to grasp, yet they still posed no challenge to Luo Ao, especially since he not only possesses a strong Law Comprehension but also has a high level of mastery in Combat Secret Technique.

Moreover, some geniuses, while possessing great comprehension of Laws, may not necessarily be strong in combat. This Luo Ao, however, is ridiculously strong in both aspects.

A female King Rank dressed in a black veil stared at the scene in shock. "Judging from how he passed through the fifth level, he seemed to be holding back. Could he possibly pass through the sixth level?"

"In the last tens of millions of years, during the time of Chaos City, not a single genius has passed the sixth level." Long Yu King eyes were also filled with shock. "He has only just begun, yet he might be able to pass the sixth level."

"It should be a bit difficult. His ' Spatial Binding ' technique is clearly not perfect yet, leaving flaws," said Thousand Illusions King. "If he can completely perfect this technique, then there might be a chance to get through."

Complete perfection means bringing the profound mysteries of those 18 specific elements to their fullest potential.

Many people, even those who have comprehended 20 or more mysteries, may not be able to fully grasp the true meaning of " Spatial Binding ".

After all, it is naturally simpler to perceive each individual mystery separately.

The difference between first comprehending the 18 mysteries and then gradually integrating them to form a special method, and naturally comprehending this special method first, is actually quite significant.

Before you've gathered all 18 profound mysteries, the former is like a pile of loose sand. Even if you've comprehended 17 of them, there's still a world of difference between that and the 18 that represent perfection.

The latter, even if they have only just mastered 15 types, can still unleash 70-80% of the power of the total 18 types.

"It's hard to say. Don't forget that Luo Ao still has trump cards up his sleeve." The True Yan King, standing to the side, looked quite serious.

"You mean... his Flame Law?" The Flame Dragon King had also thought of this.

Many of these powerful figures knew that Luo Ao's strongest ability was the Flame Origin Law, and so far, he had not used this trump card.

Before this, many people believed that Bolan and Luo Ao's talents were roughly at the same level.

Why? Because although Luo Ao passed through the seven Trial Tower, he relied on a technique that combined fire and air, while his opponent mainly relied on his profound understanding of the Flame Law.

However, the Flame Law, after all, only a lower-level Laws. It may have a great advantage in the early stages, but it becomes increasingly 'powerless' as the game progresses.

In the early stages, Luo Ao might have a significant lead over Bolan, but in the later stages, the opponent will definitely lean towards the path of ' Space Laws '.

In terms of ' Space Laws ', Bolan is far ahead of Luo Ao. Luo Ao's previous superiority over Bolan was mainly due to his considerable possibility of successfully traversing the ' Path of the Beast God '.

However, it now seems that even in terms of talent in the individual ' Space Origin Law ', Luo Ao might be stronger than Bolan.

"Incredible! Bolan's Space Laws talent is already ridiculously strong, but Luo Ao might be even stronger."

Those powerful individuals who had seen the previous footage of the Trial Tower were well aware of just how much progress Luo Ao had made in the Space Laws.

Previously, the Space Laws were considered a weakness of this genius from the Primal Secret Region. But now, they can't see any flaws in each other.

His talents in the Flame Law and Space Laws are extraordinary, and he even possesses immense talent in the fusion of fire and space. They could only marvel at how promising Luo Ao truly was.

As long as he doesn't perish prematurely, he will surely have a place among the strongest people in the future.

After all, how long has he been cultivating?

Not long ago, he was just a tiny Star Level creature.

Reaching the 6th floor on the first try, regardless of success or failure, is enough to make one stand out in an era.
