Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 121 Insufficient Authority
Deep in the core of the star, where the temperature is as high as 10 billion degrees Celsius and is hot enough to melt everything, a red figure and a black figure crisscrossed like ghosts and collided hundreds of times in an instant.

Each collision was like two meteors colliding violently in this endless sea of fire, erupting with dazzling light and heart-pounding energy ripples, and the surrounding stellar matter was splashed in all directions by this powerful force.

"boom!"

Without any warning, the two figures each gathered all their powerful energy and collided violently like two out-of-control stars.

In an instant, brilliant light illuminated the dark core of the star. Violent energy spread out in all directions with the two as the center, forming a huge energy vortex that seemed to swallow up the entire core of the star.

Immediately afterwards, under the impact of this devastating explosion, the two figures suddenly separated like kites with broken strings, and each flew backwards for a distance before stabilizing their bodies.

Jiang Ye, with his breath steady, looked at the flame armored man in front of him.

Over a period of ten years, he comprehended the Chaos Monument of the Universe once a year. He had already completely mastered the laws of time and space contained in the fifth picture, and he also found and learned 1321 secret methods related to the fifth picture in "Universe and Time".

In addition, he follows the essence of the laws of time and space. Although it is difficult in the early stage, the effect is significant. Once you learn it, the same secret moves will be more powerful than the gatekeeper.
This is the importance of the early foundation.

The somewhat disheveled man in fire armor stood in the midst of this violent energy turbulence, and a layer of strange light emanated from his body.

The secret patterns of the laws of time and space flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, the time and space around him seemed to be pulled and controlled by an invisible force.

In an instant, the originally relatively stable space and time became distorted, and visible folds of space rolled towards Jiang Ye like evil waves.

The gatekeeper of the fifteenth floor is undoubtedly more terrifying than the gatekeepers of the first two floors who also master the laws of time and space in the fifth picture of the Chaos Monument of the Universe.

Not only can he perfectly interpret the laws of time and space contained in the fifth picture, but he can also skillfully integrate various mysterious secret methods with it to carry out combined attacks.

Looking at the distorted space-time turbulence around him, Jiang Ye snorted coldly, and a white light burst out from himself, instantly restoring the distorted space and time around him.

Jiang Ye's move did not move the man in fire armor. The energy around him instantly surged into the sword in his hand, and the secret patterns on the sword body shone.

As the original energy was madly injected, the silver sword in the fire armor man's hand shone brightly, and the secret patterns on the sword twisted like a living thing, emitting a powerful and heart-pounding aura.

He stomped the air under his feet suddenly, and used the force to rush towards Jiang Ye like a black lightning.

Wherever the sword passed, time and space seemed to be torn into tiny cracks.

Jiang Ye's eyes focused, and the energy in his body began to flow rapidly.

Just when the sword of the flame armor man was about to hit Jiang Ye's head, Jiang Ye moved. He turned his body and raised the long sword in his hand at a clever angle, just in time to meet the sword of the flame armor man.

"when!"

There was a loud bang, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

Where the two swords collided, the light was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes. A powerful energy shock wave spread out in all directions with the two people as the center, instantly vaporizing the surrounding stellar matter, forming a white mist, which was then blown away without a trace by the violent energy.

Looking at the energy unleashed by the two, the many immortals watching the battle in the central square were completely shocked.

Generally speaking, the immortals who can comprehend the fifth picture of the Chaos Monument of the Universe can usually be granted the title of marquis.

In other words, Jiang Ye and the man in flame armor are both at the ninth level of the Domain Lord class.

Otherwise, with the laws of time and space that the two of them just used, it would definitely not be as simple as just causing the space to vibrate.

"burst!"

Feeling the tremendous power coming from the sword in his hand, Jiang Ye's body was surrounded by a layer of faint blue halo, as if he was shrouded in a layer of extremely cold ice fog. The "Ice Secret Book" instantly exploded with ten times the body amplitude. For Jiang Ye, this gatekeeper was only one point weaker than himself, so there was no need to use the entire body amplitude. Ten times the original strength was enough.

This sudden increase in strength flowed through Jiang Ye's arm and into the sword, and the originally stalemate was instantly broken.

"what!"

The man in the flame armor only felt an overwhelming force coming from the sword, which immediately made him fly backwards like a meteor.

A second later, the man in flame armor managed to steady himself, before he could catch his breath.

Jiang Ye took advantage of the situation, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, his body was as fast as lightning, and he instantly approached the man in fire armor. The long sword in his hand drew a cold light in the air, and stabbed at the opponent's throat with an unstoppable momentum.

This sword seems simple and direct, but in fact it contains Jiang Ye's exquisite understanding of the laws of time and space and swordsmanship. The speed is extremely fast, as if it has transcended the limitations of time.

The fire armor man sensed the danger and hurriedly raised his sword to block.

However, the moment Jiang Ye's sword was about to touch his sword, it suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, Jiang Ye's sword appeared behind the man in flame armor without warning, and stabbed out as swiftly as a poisonous snake out of a hole.

The man in the flame armor had no time to react. He only felt a chill on the back of his neck, and Jiang Ye's sword had pierced his throat.

"You..." The fire armor man widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

Jiang Ye snorted coldly, shook his wrist, and pulled the sword out of the throat of the flame armor man.

The body of the flame armor man instantly lost its support, slowly fell down, and turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated into the core of the blazing star.

On the central island of Tongtianqiao plane space.

The 156 immortal gods couldn't help but gasp as they watched Jiang Ye suddenly explode on the screen and instantly kill the gatekeeper.

Originally, Jiang Ye had fought with the gatekeeper for hundreds of moves and only barely had the upper hand. They thought that the battle would last for a long time, and some even thought that Jiang Ye might be defeated on the fifteenth floor. After all, the gatekeeper of Tongtian Bridge could always perform perfectly, but people can make mistakes!
However, Jiang Ye used some unknown means to suddenly increase his strength and instantly killed the gatekeeper, shocking everyone.

"The fifteenth floor, the fifteenth floor of Tongtian Bridge! It's only been a thousand years since Jiang Ye was born... and he succeeded?"

King Zhen Yan was shocked. He was truly shocked. Jiang Ye's speed of comprehension of the laws was unbelievable and completely beyond his understanding.

He was also ranked first in the genius battle billions of years ago, but when he broke through the fifteenth level of the Jiuyutong Bridge, he was already at the realm master level and had practiced for tens of thousands of years.

King Longyu, who was standing by, watched Jiang Ye continue to advance towards the sixteenth floor on the screen. He could not help but be filled with shock, "He is still going to advance to the sixteenth floor?"

At this time, not only King Zhenyan and King Longyu, but also the immortals and Bafen present were in shock.

"impossible."

"How can it be."

A group of immortal gods couldn't believe that Jiang Ye would be able to pass the sixteenth level.

But no one dared to guarantee it 100%, because Jiang Ye had previously advanced to the thirteenth to fifteenth floors in succession, and he was so calm and natural that he almost killed everyone instantly. Even the gatekeeper who they thought would stop at the fifteenth floor was killed instantly by Jiang Ye's sudden outburst.

This calm and self-confidence completely infected them, making them unsure... whether Jiang Ye could make it to the sixteenth floor.

But rationally everyone thinks it is impossible!
There is a big level every three levels of Tongtian Bridge, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12... 13-15... Obviously, the fifteenth to sixteenth levels are a big hurdle, which is very difficult to break through. The difficulty level is also extremely high, and the comprehension of the laws on the sixteenth level is completely comparable to that of the immortal marquis.

How could a domain lord who had only been born for two thousand years pass the sixteenth level of the Universe Bridge, which is known as the most difficult level?
Just as everyone was whispering and talking, Baffin, who was guarding the Tongtian Bridge, was startled suddenly, as if he had received some instructions.

He then raised his hand and waved it. In an instant, the huge screen in the central square that was playing the scene of Jiang Ye walking towards the sixteenth floor of Tongtian Bridge suddenly went black, leaving only a dead silent blank.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

There was a burst of puzzled voices in the crowd. Everyone's eyes subconsciously stayed on the black screen for a moment, and then they all looked at Baffin, their eyes full of confusion.

Bafen felt as if he was being stared at. He bowed slightly, his face full of respect and helplessness, and said, "Everyone, I have been notified that your authority is no longer sufficient to view the subsequent videos of Jiang Ye's crossing the Tongtian Bridge."

"Huh? Insufficient authority!"

As soon as these words came out, the square exploded. The immortals looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

King Zhenyan and King Longyu also looked at each other quickly, and their brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"Why is this? As a four-star member of the human race of the Hongmeng, I don't even have the privilege to watch a Tongtian Bridge challenge?" said a tall and burly giant with golden eyes and a beard covered with golden needles on his face.

There was a hint of anger in his voice. After all, this situation had never happened before.

"that is……"

"What's the meaning……"

"Mail Master" Baffin looked at the many immortals who were asking for explanations, and suddenly felt a headache and cried out in his heart.

Next time I won’t send so many emails!

……

Just as many immortals in the Central Square were arguing about not seeing Jiang Ye break into the overpass later.

In the Tongtian Mountain plane, there are only three towering mountains in this vast land. On the hillsides of the three mountains, there are words emitting golden light - Heaven and Earth, Taichu, and Yuanshi. Among them, the Yuanshi Tongtian Mountain is obviously the highest.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Ye appeared out of nowhere on this land and quickly flew towards the original Tongtian Mountain.

"Phew, it was really dangerous just now! The gap between the gatekeeper on the 16th floor of Tongtian Bridge and the gatekeeper on the 15th floor is indeed huge. I had to use fifty times the amplitude of my body to barely win!" Jiang Ye in the air recalled the battle with the gatekeeper on the 16th floor just now, and couldn't help but feel lucky.

The sixteenth level of Tongtian Bridge corresponds to the sixth picture of the Chaos Monument, but Jiang Ye has only comprehended the fifth picture. In terms of the laws of time and space alone, Jiang Ye is definitely no match for him. However, his power to break all laws and his fifty times body amplitude are enough to allow him to cross the gap in laws.

After a while, Jiang Ye landed at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the original Tongtian Mountain that reached high into the clouds.

Then he turned his gaze forward.

There, there were three figures sitting cross-legged leisurely, with a stone table emitting a strange luster placed in the middle of them. Some cards with strange shapes and engraved with mysterious runes were neatly arranged on the table. It seemed that some kind of card game widely circulated in the universe was being played. The atmosphere of the game was tense, as if it was in a stalemate.

"Minotaur, have you thought it through? Do you really want to play this card?" The skinny ape had a sly smile on his face and stared at the Minotaur opposite him. His eyes seemed to hide countless thoughts. "If I lose this round, according to our previous agreement, you have to wash my feet for 100 years. Don't cheat when the time comes!" As he said that, he stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, making a "tapping" sound, as if putting psychological pressure on the Minotaur.

"Humph!"

The minotaur's nostrils flared slightly, and he snorted with disdain. He knocked hard on the card with his thick fingers, "This is it! How bad can my luck be today? I don't believe I will lose this round!" His voice was like a loud bell, shaking the surrounding air slightly, and his eyes revealed a stubborn and unyielding spirit.

"Haha, God... Hu!" The smile on the skinny ape's face suddenly widened, and he couldn't wait to spread out the cards in his hand. The upturned corners of his mouth seemed to have announced the victory, however, just as the word came out of his mouth.

The Minotaur's reaction was as fast as lightning. He exerted force with his legs and kicked the stone table hard. In an instant, the stone table fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the cards flew everywhere like snowflakes.

"Someone is coming!" the Minotaur shouted at the top of his voice. His eyes widened instantly and he looked into the distance vigilantly. All the muscles in his body were tensed, like a beast ready to fight at any time.

"You..." The skinny ape was stunned by this sudden change. The smile on his face froze instantly and turned into anger. He pointed at the minotaur with trembling fingers and was about to open his mouth to accuse him, but was stopped by the snake woman next to him.

"Get up quickly, don't dawdle!"

The two men seemed to have not moved for a long time and were a little unfamiliar with the movements. They paused for a moment before standing up one by one.

The most burly and majestic minotaur who stood up first looked at the newcomer and grinned, "Oh, it's His Highness Jiang Ye, His Highness Jiang Ye... Although you are the direct disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, you are too confident. You are going to break into the Primordial Tongtian Mountain now? This is the Primordial Tongtian Mountain of the Domain Lord level!"

"Hmph, Bull Head, what are you talking about? This is His Highness Jiang Ye. There is nothing that His Highness Jiang Ye can't do." The ape man also looked at Jiang Ye.

"Your Highness Jiang Ye, are you ready to start?" The snake girl looked at Jiang Ye with charming eyes that seemed to be as soft as water.
