"Hiss..."

Lava is rolling.

"To be able to reach this point at the Universe Level, little guy, I hope you can grow up quickly and become a super strong person among my Human Race." The Yellow-Clad Man on the 11th floor looked at Luo Ao with expectation in his eyes.

Luo Ao nodded slightly and drew the Flame Dragon Sword.

"Boom!"

The two sides clashed instantly.

Luo Ao directly activated the ' Star Ring Vortex Domain ', and an endless fiery red Nebula Vortex enveloped the entire sky. Then Luo Ao carried this huge Star Ring Vortex and charged directly at his opponent.

"A domain? Interesting."

The Yellow-Clad Man on the 11th floor had bright eyes and was using an extremely powerful sword technique called " Void Annihilation." The moment he drew his sword, the surrounding space distorted.

"Void, shatter!"

The Yellow-Clad Man's eyes flashed with a sharp light beneath his mask. The yellow sword in his hand swept across the most exquisite curve in the universe, as if following the most precise 'gap' in the spatial ripples!

What appeared to the naked eye was a yellow thread that instantly streaked across the sky, leaving a clearly visible sword mark. Obviously, with a little more power, it could have directly sliced through space.

"Is this... Space Cutting?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Ao's expression changed immediately. He had thought that the opponent on the 11th floor wouldn't be much stronger than the one on the 10th floor.

"No, that's not right. This move, while not as cleverly combined as ' Space Cutting,' is just too powerful." Luo Ao instantly realized that the 11th level Gatekeeper corresponds to an existence that has already comprehended 84 spatial mysteries.

These 84 spatial mysteries, in addition to the 36 basic mysteries mentioned earlier, include 48 other most profound mysteries.

The final 72 most profound spatial mysteries are far more powerful than the previous 36 basic ones.

Therefore, even with only a rough integration, the power of this move by the opponent has already surpassed his ' Space Cutting ', which is composed of only the first 36 mysteries.

"It seems I underestimated the Gatekeeper of this 11th floor." Luo Ao suddenly became cautious.

He had grasped 60 of the mysteries of space, but of the 72 most profound ones, he had only just begun to understand the part corresponding to ' Space Lockdown '.

So now, apart from being stronger in terms of domain, he is actually weaker than his opponent in terms of speed and attack.

"Then let's have a contest and see whose sword is sharper!"

Although his judgment was slightly off, Luo Ao still moved with lightning speed in an instant, wielding the Flame Dragon Sword, and engaged in close combat with his opponent.

One red and one yellow sword collided in mid-air in an instant.

Even under the suppression of the Star Ring Domain, the Yellow-Clad Man's attack power was still comparable to Luo Ao's. It is evident that without this troublesome domain suppression, his absolute attack power would be even greater than Luo Ao's.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

It was as if two peerless swordsmen were fighting again and again. Luo Ao and the Yellow-Clad Man had reached a level of supernatural skill in both movement and swordsmanship. The blades were so fast that only two thin lines of two colors could be seen in mid-air, which were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The two thin lines of two colors continued to lengthen and spread throughout mid-air.

Repeated exchanges.

It was extremely tragic.

This scene completely shocked the Immortal God watching the live stream on their screens. This was the Gatekeeper the 11th level, whose ' Void Annihilation ' sword technique could even cut through space. Such a terrifying Yellow-Clad Man was completely helpless against Luo Ao.

"This is insane! Unbelievable! This is a battle on Universe Level!"

"Yes, that's only because their base strength is low, otherwise..."

The Immortal God who witnessed this battle were all filled with awe.

Luo Ao and the Yellow-Clad Man were both at the ' Universe Level Ninth Stage ' level, so they only left blurry sword marks in space. If they were at the foundation of World Lord... and used their current sword skills, they could cut through space as easily as cutting tofu!

"Haha, awesome!"

"However, this is the end."

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, Luo Ao had figured out all of his opponent's abilities and finally burst into laughter, while suddenly unleashing his ultimate move.

"Take this! Star River Heavenly Waterfall!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted and surged!

The fiery red Nebula Vortex instantly shrank in size, forming a fiery red Tornado that swept across the Heaven-Piercing and earth, rapidly crushing towards the Yellow-Clad Man!

"So that's the move they used!"

"Heavens! This move is far more difficult than ' Ceasing Sword '!"

In terms of sheer power, the " Ceasing Sword " series of moves is naturally stronger, as it condenses the power of an entire domain. However, opponents are not fools. The moment you condense this move, the domain's suppressive force disappears, allowing them to easily create distance.

The ' Star River Heavenly Waterfall ' technique merely 'condenses' the domain to amplify the user's power based on the situation. Unless the opponent has created a significant distance beforehand, they will still be under the domain's suppression and will be suppressed even more severely!

"Fall!"

A fiery red thread suddenly shot out from the Tornado! It was so fast that it instantly passed through the Yellow-Clad Man 'Yellow-Clad Man body, leaving him no time to dodge.

Of course, in reality, the spatial pressure he experienced suddenly increased several times over in that instant, which is why he was unable to dodge.

The power of the red thread erupted instantly!

"Clap clap clap clap~~~~"

The man in Yellow-Clad Man was instantly disintegrated into hundreds of pieces like tofu, swiftly sliced into chunks by the sharp sword energy contained within the red threads, his Life Core pierced through...

Heavenly Bridge, 11th floor, through!

" The Twelfth floor!" Luo Ao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a hint of longing and anticipation.

The Gatekeeper the 11th floor gave him quite a surprise. The 12th floor will probably be even more difficult, but so what!

Surface layer.

Luo Ao stood at the end of the 12th-level Heavenly Bridge, looking down at the vast land below. "Finally, we've reached the surface."

The ground beneath the Heavenly Bridge trembled slightly, accompanied by a rumbling sound, "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat one to pass the Twelfth level."

"A martial artist," Luo Ao replied.

Rumble~~~

The earth trembled, and countless earthen-yellow rays of light shot out from all directions, quickly gathering in mid-air. In an instant, they transformed into a mysterious, powerful figure clad in yellow battle armor and wearing a mask. He carried a yellow battle sword and looked at Luo Ao, saying in a low voice, "It's rare for someone at the Universe Level to attempt the 12th level. I look forward to your future."

"Fight!" Luo Ao's fighting spirit was at its peak.

"Quite confident," the Yellow-Clad Man said coldly. "I'm still using ' Void Annihilation,' but it's much stronger than that one on the eleventh floor. You'd better be careful."

As expected, even though the Gatekeeper the 12th level had comprehended all 108 spatial mysteries, he still couldn't use the ' Star Ring Vortex Domain '. Since that was the case, he still had a chance of winning!

"Come on." Luo Ao smiled slightly and once again activated the Star Ring Vortex Domain.

"Your skill level isn't bad, but it's still a bit lacking when it comes to dealing with me!" The Yellow-Clad Man's eyes flashed with a strange light when he saw this, but he remained confident.

"Void - Formation!" Instead of rushing into Luo Ao's domain, he created 108 Space Phantom, Phantom Body were arranged in an orderly fashion like a military formation. Then, they all drew their swords and slashed at him!

"Trying to ambush me? Dream on!" Luo Ao understood the Yellow-Clad Man's tactics; he was simply using Phantom Body teleportation to launch a surprise attack.

However, after comprehending the 108 mysteries, he had already grasped the root secrets of the Space Laws. Even if the other party's integration was not as perfect as his, its basic power was too strong.

His Star Ring Vortex Domain could suppress the 10th level Gatekeeper, rendering it unable to move. The 11th level Gatekeeper was also suppressed and restricted in many ways, but the 12th level Gatekeeper seemed to be largely unaffected.

"So that's how it is..."

When Luo Ao saw that the other party entered his domain as if it were empty, he understood this. This was because the other party had fully comprehended the 108 mysteries of space. Even if his 'technique' was not as exquisite as Luo Ao's, his basic control over space was far superior.

Although the other party cannot use the same domain to suppress him, it is just as difficult for him to suppress the other party.

"It seems these 12 levels won't be so easy to get through anytime soon." Luo Ao calmed down immediately.

"Laugh!"

The Yellow-Clad Man split into 108 Phantom Body, which rushed into Luo Ao's Star Ring Vortex Domain one after another, but their speed only decreased slightly, and they were still much faster Luo Ao.

With swords striking from 108 directions simultaneously, Luo Ao could only offer a slight resistance by using his ultimate move, " Star River Heavenly Waterfall."

"Boom!"

A fiery red Tornado storm, stretching from the sky to the earth, reappeared, but the 108 Phantom Body of the Yellow-Clad Man merely swayed slightly, moving with lightning speed and elusive ghostly movements.

Luo Ao blocked about half of the attack, but the remaining half pierced through his body instantly, tearing him apart completely!

Luo Ao had almost no chance to struggle before he was defeated and killed.

"It seems that just comprehending 108 spatial mysteries on one hand is not something to be underestimated." This thought flashed through Luo Ao's mind before dissipating as he was kicked out of the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

Luo Ao, defeated!

This attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge has officially ended, with the final step failing on the 12th floor.

"Hahaha..."

"We've truly made the trip worthwhile to witness this."

"Upon encountering the Gatekeeper the 12th level, his Star Ring Domain finally became useless."

"These 12 floors aren't easy to get through, but he's too young. I estimate it won't take him long to get through this floor."

The 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge corresponds to the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain peak that is an almost insurmountable milestone for human geniuses. However, Luo Ao has already approached this level before even formally entering the Primal Secret Region to study.

Many Immortal God felt their blood boiling at this moment. After chatting for a while, they quickly left. Although they were not sent by the Venerables this time, they still needed to report such shocking news back.

The miracle that Luo Ao created by breaking through the Heavenly Bridge this time instantly spread to almost all the senior executives of Virtual Universe Company.

Even the greatest beings of Human Race were overjoyed.

However, this message also reached the Alien Race almost simultaneously.

It's estimated that he's already number one on the Alien Race's kill list. After all, even Kedi's performance at this point in time isn't as incredible as his.

However, Luo Ao didn't care about this at all.

After all, the road to the summit is destined to be paved with blood, flesh, and bones.

Without experiencing hardships, without fighting enemies, and without being baptized by blood and fire, how can one truly become an absolute powerhouse!
