Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

“This is your first time entering the Bridge to Heaven plane, so let me introduce it to you,” Guardian Baffin nodded. “This Bridge to Heaven plane was created specifically for the 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City.”

"Because our human race has been studying the 52 Chaos Steles for billions of years, 52 schools of thought have been formed in Chaos City," the guardian Baffin remarked.

"For example, since you are all studying the 'Giant Axe Chaos Stele,' you naturally belong to the 'Giant Axe' school. However, even though you are studying the Chaos Stele, your understanding of it varies. Only those with higher strength will be given another chance to study the Chaos Stele by Chaos City."

"How do you prove someone's strength? It's not just about words," Guardian Baffin smiled. "That's why we built the Skybridge plane in the virtual universe. The further you cross the Skybridge, the stronger you are!"

“This island has 52 bridges to the sky, each corresponding to one of the 52 Chaos Steles. You are here to study the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, so go and challenge the Giant Axe Bridge to the Sky.”

"This 'Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven' is incredibly long, with one level after another requiring you to keep climbing upwards. There are a total of 32 levels! It is the longest of all the bridges to heaven!"

"If you successfully pass the first level, you will get one chance to comprehend the mystery. For each additional level you pass, you will get another chance to comprehend the mystery!" The guardian, Baffin, smiled at Rean.

"Oh." Rean nodded; he already knew all this.

"However, the Bridge to Heaven is very difficult to cross," the guardian Baffin sighed. "Even a peak Realm Lord would be doing well if they could pass seven or eight levels."

"The Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven has 32 levels! The further you go, the deeper your understanding of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele will be. If you can fully comprehend the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, you can pass all 32 levels, but... that's too difficult."

“Immortals usually reach the 10th level,” the guardian Baffin sighed. “If you reach the 18th level, you’re practically invincible among immortals. Reach the 21st level… and you can become the ‘King of the Universe’.”

"Keep striving!" Guardian Baffin smiled. "This is a path to the pinnacle. There are countless people among the human race who follow these 52 paths. And once you pass the 18th level, you will directly obtain permanent residency in Chaos City, without needing any other additional conditions!"

"Thank you, Lord Guardian." Rean bowed slightly to Baffin. It was indeed not easy for this world lord of a post-apocalyptic secret realm to be so friendly to him.

Whoosh!
Rean transformed into a blur and flew directly towards a bridge that stretched to the ends of the earth. From afar, he could see a stone tablet in front of the bridge with the words "Giant Axe" on it.

Tongtian Bridge stretches to the end of the world, surrounded by mist and mist, and the sea below is surging.

The moment Rean stepped into the giant axe-shaped bridge, he received an email from the virtual universe explaining the rules for redeeming points.

Points are undoubtedly very important to Rean. Whether it's buying treasures to recharge simulation points or preparing some means to protect himself, he needs to spend money. Points are the most valuable currency in the core of the Virtual Universe Company.

In Chaos City now, crossing the Sky Bridge is the most important way to earn points.

Passing the first level rewards you with 100 points.

Passing the second level will earn you an additional 200 points.

Passing the third level will earn you an additional 400 points.

The scores doubled sequentially, then came 800 points, 1600 points, 3200 points...

As for points, Rean doesn't have a single point right now. He's not like those geniuses in the Genius Battle, who get points directly awarded by the Virtual Universe Company.

As a World Lord-level being absorbed into the Doomsday Secret Realm, the Virtual Universe Company didn't intend to nurture him much; at most, they would just give him a chance. Whether he could become an Immortal, or even a powerful Immortal, depended entirely on fate.

"The Bridge to Heaven is indeed a very good source of points. I wonder how many levels I can reach based solely on my understanding of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele." "Let's go for it." Rean gazed at the Bridge to Heaven stretching to the end of the clouds, narrowed his eyes, and then transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

After a period of secluded cultivation, Rean finally comprehended the first axe mark on the Chaos Stele. As far as he knew, fully comprehending the first axe mark would allow him to pass the first four levels of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge, comprehending the second would allow him to pass the first eight levels, and so on.

Comprehending the five axe marks is equivalent to reaching the twentieth level of the Heavenly Bridge, making one invincible below the Venerable level!
However, starting from the sixth axe mark, each time you comprehend one, you can pass through two levels of the Heavenly Bridge. In other words, if you comprehend all nine axe marks, you can reach the twenty-eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

The remaining four levels are as follows: the first three levels each correspond to a picture, but no one knows what level the fourth level is. It is said that no one has ever reached the thirtieth level of the Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven, and as for the thirty-second level, it is just a legend.

At this moment, Rean arrived at the end of the first level of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent. Defeat your opponent to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven." Ahead of Rean was a huge cloud of mist, from which a voice emanated.

You must defeat your opponent before the clouds dissipate and you can enter the higher level of Tongtian Bridge.

“I choose…the martial artist!” Rean said calmly.

call!
A ball of black liquid immediately flew out of the clouds. The black liquid began to condense and form in mid-air, turning into a mysterious figure wearing a black mask.

The mysterious figure carried a massive black axe on his back, and beneath a black mask, a pair of cold, eerie eyes stared at Rean. He spoke in human language: "Let the battle begin!"

Rean also took out a battle axe. He raised the giant axe in his hand, and in an instant, his whole body seemed to transform into a giant axe soaring into the sky. The giant axe formed by his powerful will alone made the entire space tremble as if it were about to crack.

call!
Swing the axe!

The terrifying power stirred the fundamental laws of space, and also faintly contained a trace of the sharpness of the fundamental law of metal. With a single axe strike, it seemed as if the entire void would be cleaved in two.

The mysterious man's eyes widened, his pupils filled with intense fear, before he was instantly cleaved in two, unable to even dodge or defend himself.

First level, passed!

A simple axe strike, devoid of any fancy moves, yet it instills a sense of utter inability to resist, as if any resistance would be futile in the face of this axe.

This is will! The will to annihilate everything in the world!

With just an axe and a simple slash, Rean easily passed through the second, third, fourth... and even fifth levels.

"Sixth level, I need to use my real skills." Rean knew that his understanding of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele was only barely at the fifth level, and his main focus at the moment was still on comprehending the fundamental laws of origin.

"The earth - shook!"

With a single strike, Rean unleashed the immense power of the Earth Origin Law, cleaving the gatekeeper with his axe. Although the gatekeeper managed to block the blow with his giant axe, the terrifying force still instantly killed him.

Sixth floor, passed! (End of chapter)
