Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 70 The Seventh Floor of Tongtian Bridge
"With my current understanding, passing the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge should be no problem. It'll be a good opportunity to verify my understanding."

Although Yu Duan did not improve his understanding of the fundamental laws of light, he mastered 18 mysteries of the essence of time.

Therefore, he can still unleash the fifth level of the Time Sword technique to an extremely high level.

……

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

In the center of the secluded island, Baffin, the guardian dressed in black robes, sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Suddenly, Baffin sensed something and opened his eyes, only to see Yu Duan teleported directly to the central square.

"Is Your Highness Yu Duan about to attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge for the second time?" The guard, Bafen, asked Yu Duan.

Yu Duan nodded: "Senior Guardian, is the Myriad Universe Sky Bridge deserted?"

Baffin smiled and said, "No, Your Highness Yu Duan can go directly to the Tongtian Bridge."

Immediately, Yu Duan transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the entrance of the Myriad Universes Sky Bridge.

A few breaths later, on the sixth level of the Myriad Universe Sky Bridge.

The sky and earth were dark and gloomy, with howling winds and a massive tornado stretching across the area.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat one to enter the seventh level."

"Musha."

As Yu Duan finished speaking, a figure dressed in silver battle armor emerged from the tornado.

"Young man, you were defeated by me in one move ten years ago. Do you think you can defeat me now?" Beneath the silver mask, a pair of crimson eyes locked onto Duan, his voice icy cold.

"Words are useless; actions speak louder than words."

Yu Duan opened his third pupil between his eyebrows, and his figure instantly transformed into a dazzling white-gold rainbow, leaving behind a series of brilliant arcs of light in mid-air.

Almost simultaneously, the figure of the man in silver also shot out.

"Qiang!"

Two clear sword cries rang out almost simultaneously.

In an instant, countless platinum threads spread out from the Time Sword, condensing into a dazzling platinum edge.

In an uncanny instant, Yu Duan and the man in silver unleashed their strongest killing move: the fifth level of the Time Sword Technique, Time Rift.

Just before the two white-gold sword blades made contact, the silver-clad man's thrust suddenly faltered, its speed and power drastically decreasing.

A pressure emanating from the universe and spacetime surged forth, layer upon layer, spreading from Yu Duan's sword blade, its impact on spacetime far exceeding that of the silver-clad man.

Yu Duan's sword light carried the pressure of time and space, like an invisible tide pushing it forward, and its speed increased dramatically in an instant.

"Boom!"

The two swords clashed, unleashing a terrifying energy storm that knocked the silver-clad man's weapon away. Then, Yu Duan's sword light, with almost no reduction in speed, instantly beheaded the man.

Pong!
The headless corpse fell onto the bridge and vanished completely, turning into streaks of light.

"In terms of mastery of comprehensive principles, you should be no less than me, but unfortunately... your application skills are too poor."

Yu Duan watched his opponent completely vanish, then flew towards the seventh level.

The opponent in the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge has reached a qualified level in understanding the second 'River Map' of the Chaos Stele.

If you are a practitioner who follows the conventional path of comprehending the laws, you can now begin to comprehend the third image.

Although Yu Duan took the route of analyzing the essence of the laws, he only grasped half of the essence of the 36 laws in the second picture.

The reason Yu Duan was able to pass the sixth level almost instantly was entirely because his opponent's application of the laws was too poor.

If we quantify the silver-clad man's laws using techniques and consider them as one unit, then Yu Duan would be at least 15 units. This is the inherent advantage of the path of analyzing the essence.

……

The seventh level of the Sky Bridge. Upon reaching this level, the Sky Bridge has left the atmosphere and extends into the endless starry sky.

Looking into the distance, one can see countless magnificent stars dotting the vast expanse of deep space, some bright and some dim, very densely packed, which should simulate the environment of the core region of a certain galaxy.

At the end of the seventh bridge deck, an asteroid several kilometers in diameter floats, blocking Yu Duan's path.

"Please choose your opponent..."

"I choose the martial artist."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, a piece of debris broke off from the asteroid with a crack.

The fragment fell onto the bridge surface, suddenly blurred, and then transformed into a figure dressed in a blue battle robe, carrying a sword of time on his back.

"Young man, you've done a great job getting this far. I hope you can defeat me soon."

The blue-clad man's voice was somewhat aged, and his attitude was very amiable, completely different from the black-clad and silver-clad men in the previous six levels.

"Please advise!"

Yu Duan waved the longsword in his palm, and thousands of streams of light intertwined and rippled, transforming into a long, narrow, white-gold sword.

As the sword tip traced an arc in mid-air, ripples spread outwards.

"A very solid foundation, be careful."

The man in blue nodded slightly, and then the Time Sword on his back suddenly shot out and landed in his palm.

In an instant, endless, dazzling light burst forth from the sword, illuminating all directions.

At that moment, the entire Tongtian Bridge disappeared, the sky and earth changed color, and countless dazzling rays of light intertwined and burst forth, forming a vast world of light and shadow.

On the blue-clad man's glass shoulder, a winding and dazzling rosy light swirled, and a terrifying and astonishing sense of oppression instantly spread.

That is the power of the world!

Under normal circumstances, only a World Lord can control a world and unleash the World Projection and World Power.

But that's normal. What's abnormal is this man in blue.

The sixth level of the Sword of Time: World of Light and Shadow! It can be understood as a weakened version of world projection.

The dazzling glow swirling around the blue-clad man's longsword is the power of the world condensed from this world of light and shadow.

Although this 'Light and Shadow World Power' is slightly inferior to the world power of a true world lord-level martial artist, it is still many times stronger than the cosmic-level Force.

"Young man, go and cultivate diligently for a few more years, and then try to pass my test."

As soon as the man in blue finished speaking, he slashed out with his sword.

At that moment, the dazzling realm of light and shadow pressed down, making it difficult for Yu Duan to even use his movement techniques.

Immediately following was a sword light as bright as starlight, which rapidly magnified in Yu Duan's vision.

With a hiss, Yu Duan stopped on the seventh floor.

……

In the center of the Tongtian Bridge Island, Yu Duan's figure reappeared.

Recalling the feeling of being torn apart by the power of the world, Yu Duan gained a basic understanding of the sixth level of the Time Sword.

"The major obstacle between the sixth and seventh levels of the Sky Bridge is more difficult than I expected."

Yu Duan was certain that if he could comprehend the first two diagrams of the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele to their fullest extent, he would reach the peak of the seventh level.

Having now mastered 18 aspects of time's essence, I thought that even if I couldn't get past the seventh level, I could at least hold out for a few moves. Unexpectedly, I was instantly defeated.

If it's not a major obstacle, and you can instantly defeat the guardian of the Heavenly Bridge, then your strength is roughly equal to the opponent on the next level, and you have a chance to pass.
