Suddenly, a piece of stone broke off from the floating meteorite in front of them. The stone rolled on the surface of the Heavenly Bridge and transformed into a warrior wearing blue battle armor, a mask, blue battle boots, and carrying a blue longsword.

" Universe Level little guy, congratulations on getting this far. I hope you can pass my test." The Blue-Clad Man's voice sounded slightly aged.

"Come on." Although Luo Ao had no experience with this level, he did not hesitate to construct his own Ring Domain, ready for battle.

"Your domain is quite impressive." The Blue-Clad Man walked slowly across the bridge, the blue battle sword on his back appearing in his hand at the same time.

Then he pointed his sword at the sky, and almost limitless blue sword energy burst forth around it. In an instant, the entire world changed color, and the surrounding Heavenly Bridge and starry sky completely disappeared, leaving only countless blue sword energies swirling around.

Luo Ao's expression changed. "This is... the Sword World?"

The Sword World, also recorded in " Space-Time Essays," possesses terrifying power!

What is the world?

Only World Lord can control and create a world, and use the World Power! And this World Power, used in advance based on the application of the Laws, is slightly weaker than the true World Power, but it is still terrifying.

"What terrifying pressure!"

Previously, he used his domain to suppress his opponents on the higher levels, but now the tables have turned, and he is being crushed by the endless spatial pressure.

" Lava Domain!"

A fierce flame ignited in Luo Ao's eyes as he added the power of his own Flame Origin Law to the Ring Domain, barely managing to offset some of the opponent's oppressive force.

"It still doesn't work." Luo Ao could feel that although he could still move with difficulty, he was absolutely unable to activate his normal Phantom Body. His speed was greatly affected, his movements were extremely sluggish, and even communicating with the power of the Universe Origin had become extremely difficult.

He was already weaker than his opponent, and now he's being suppressed so intensely—how is he supposed to fight?

"Hehe, the integration of your domains is quite good, but you still need to cultivate diligently," the Blue-Clad Man said with a smile.

brush!

The entire world pressed down on him, far exceeding the power of the universe that Luo Ao could summon. In an instant, a sharp sword aura swept across Luo Ao's head.

Luo Ao, you failed!

The first attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge has officially ended, failing on the 7th floor.

"His defeat was not undeserved; he was too strong. That one move completely created a world of his own, overwhelming his opponent." Luo Ao sighed inwardly, "Only when I can create my own Sword World will I be qualified to challenge him again."

In fact, his current Ring Domain already bears some resemblance to this ' Sword World ', but if he wants to condense a true ' Sword World ', he still needs to continuously improve and perfect himself.

"The difference between the seventh and sixth levels is like heaven and earth; it's highly unlikely he'll be able to get through."

"If he can even pass the seventh level by now, then all of us have wasted all this time cultivating."

"But who knows what will happen in thirty years."

They hadn't forgotten that this was merely the other party's performance upon first arriving in the Initial Universe. According to the rules, the other party could cultivate here for another thirty years, and even had six more opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

Thirty years from now, how will the other party behave? Nobody can say for sure.

"Such a genius will most likely catch the eye of the Venerables." The Flame Dragon King could only sigh in his heart. He had finally found a satisfactory disciple, but now it seemed hopeless.

Outside the Heavenly Bridge, above the beautiful island, groups of Immortal Expert were discussing among themselves, some even disappearing from their spots, clearly going to report to the Venerable Level beings behind them.

Long Yu King didn't even have time to reminisce with True Yan King and the others. He simply vanished from the spot, clearly heading to report to Nine Swords Venerable.

"Well."

Seeing this, the Flame Dragon King could only leave the Tongtian Bridge Plane with reluctance.

Outside the island, after the Immortal Expert departed one by one, only Luo Feng, Wuka, Rong Jun, and a few other young geniuses remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

" Luo Feng, what do you think?" Rong Jun looked at Luo Feng with a wry smile. He thought Bolan was already abnormal enough, but he didn't expect Luo Ao to be parachuted in, making it even more outrageous.

That Bolan, after passing through just two levels, was already making it difficult for them to breathe, while this Luo Ao passed through six levels right away?

Is this person really from their era? Why has this world suddenly become so incomprehensible?

Heaven have mercy.

Some of them barely made it through the first level, while others were still far from even getting through the first level!

Now, a contemporary genius has appeared and has already passed through the 6th level. What kind of monster is this?

"What can we say? We just need to keep striving forward." To be honest, Luo Feng was also a bit stunned at this moment. Although he guessed that his opponent was strong, he did not expect that the opponent would be so ridiculously strong.

Catching up with Bolan? Though difficult, he remained confident. But catching up with Luo Ao? He lacked confidence and could only wait for the future to catch up; for now, they could only watch each other's backs.

"I never imagined that the gap between even the most outstanding geniuses could be so vast!" The other geniuses also looked on with expressions of utter disbelief.

"I won the bet, but why can't I be happy right now?" Prince Wuka of Prince of Manka Star could only manage a wry smile.

These young geniuses felt only one word at that moment: powerlessness.

They were originally super geniuses in the universe, but when they encountered someone like Luo Ao, they didn't even have the courage to catch up.

Only a few people, such as Luo Feng and Rong Jun, remained steadfast in their beliefs, which only fueled their fighting spirit.

The Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, a deep blue ice crystal palace.

"You mean, when Luo Ao first entered Chaos City, he even crossed six levels of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, and he was on the path of analyzing the Law Essence of space?" Seated on the throne was a beautiful woman with snow-white hair, wearing exquisite blue armor. She was none other than Venerable Green Snow Venerable, one of the Human Race's Venerables, also known as the ' Snow Emperor '.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes," the Ice Dream King replied respectfully from below, his eyes glazed over.

At the same time, Venerable Zhen Yu, Blood Dome Venerable, Nine Swords Venerable, and others also learned of Luo Ao's recent achievement.

"On his first attempt at the Heavenly Bridge, he conquered six levels and quickly grasped more than a dozen Space Essence. His combat skills are also exceptionally outstanding, and he has mastered the ' Ceasing Sword ' secret technique. This Luo Ao is indeed a peerless genius." After watching the video of him conquering the Heavenly Bridge, these Venerables couldn't help but be moved.

The main reason is that the other party has no flaws in any aspect; all the basic elements of becoming a strong person can be seen in this little guy. Such a person does indeed have a high probability of growing into a powerful individual.

" Luo Feng, I'm going to the Chaos Stele." After facing the seventh level Gatekeeper and experiencing the ' World Power,' it wasn't without its benefits. He felt he was in good condition and had a high chance of comprehending the last three of the 18 mysteries in one go.

"This..." Luo Feng was silent for a moment. He hadn't forgotten the other party's boastful words about 'jumping twice'.

You're already this strong, yet you still want to make a 'double leap' of progress; you're completely leaving no room for others to compete.

In reality, Luo Ao was only referring to the continuous progress in comprehending the 27 new mysteries shown in the Second Diagram. In terms of strength, he wouldn't make a significant leap all at once.

After all, the previous 15 profound techniques had already unleashed 70-80% of the power of " Spatial Binding." His complete comprehension of these 18 techniques would only represent a 20-30% improvement, and there was still a significant gap between him and the seventh level.

Even so, Luo Ao's performance was already beyond human capabilities, almost crushing the confidence of many of his peers.

"This Luo Ao, he passed the sixth level right away?" At this moment, even the usually aloof young man in white had doubts about himself in his cold eyes.

The Grim Reaper, Bolan, is a very proud man who has never tasted defeat in his life. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been far ahead of others, far superior to everyone else. Therefore, he has an absolutely proud heart.

Even in the so-called top selection channel for humanity— the Genius Battle —he remained far ahead of the competition, with no rivals in sight.

But Luo Ao's sudden emergence woke him up! It turned out that there were geniuses in this world who were no less than him, and might even be more outstanding!

"Now, should I stick to my decision?" Bolan fell into self-doubt.

His mastery of the Space Origin Law is undoubtedly astonishing. Even the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company have spoken with him, advising him not to choose the Universe Chaos Stele, and even less to choose the cultivation path that emphasizes both time and space.

But he was very confident in himself because no one in his time could catch up with him. Even if he was distracted by comprehending the Time Origin Law, others still couldn't surpass him.

However, Luo Ao's sudden emergence shattered his 'genius myth'.

Compared to his opponent's achievement of breaking through six levels, his achievement of only passing two levels seemed utterly laughable.

"What should I do, teacher? Should I give up the path of cultivating both time and space?" Bolan thought of his teacher and for the first time didn't know how to decide.

"If I were to abandon the dual cultivation of time and space now and instead specialize in the Space Laws, I might still have a chance to catch up with him, but..." Choosing the Universe Chaos Stele naturally signifies his ambition to become the Universe Master.

But in reality? The higher-ups felt that his chances of becoming Space Venerable were very small.

It's only a very small possibility, and that's only if he focuses all his time and energy on the ' Space Laws '.

Choosing to cultivate both time and space? That meant he was destined to never achieve anything remarkable again.

For a moment, Bolan was caught in a painful decision.

According to the original timeline, it would take a long time before Luo Feng rose to power and could break his pride.

But now, before he has even left Chaos City, he has been dealt a severe blow!

At this moment, Luo Ao wasn't thinking about what others might do; he was in a very good mood. After once again comprehending the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, he successfully grasped the 18th profound mystery.

However, such a good thing only happens once; it won't be so easy to encounter it again next time.

"Huh? The Silver Moon Palace Master summoned me personally?" After exiting his cultivation state, Luo Ao discovered the Silver Moon Palace Master's summons in his backend messages.

"I wonder what kind of gift the Silver Moon Palace Master will prepare for me this time?" Luo Ao's expression also held a hint of anticipation.

His performance of crossing six levels of the Heavenly Bridge this time will definitely earn him a lot of points with the Silver Moon Palace Master. Perhaps, what was originally just an ordinary treasure will be replaced with a True Treasure, which will surely not disappoint him.
