Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 182 Breakthrough! Qin Ming's Exceptional Comprehension

clang--

The sound of metal clashing rang out as two halberds collided heavily.

Almost instantly, the man in black was thrown out.

"Is 30% of its power still too strong?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly. He knew that the martial artists on the first level of the Tongtian Bridge would definitely be relatively weak, so he did not use his full strength.

Even with only 30% of his strength, he is still not someone the first level of the Sky Bridge can withstand.

"Let me see where the secret of the first level lies."

Qin Ming did not finish off his opponent immediately, but waited for him to recover.

The Sky Bridge is not just a simple test of combat strength!

It's more about testing your understanding of the corresponding Chaos Monument!
The first to third layers correspond to the nine dark stars in the first image of the Dark Chaos Stele, which are the most basic nine spatial laws and the application of soul power.

The second picture corresponds to the fourth to sixth floors of the Skybridge.

The third picture corresponds to the seventh to ninth floors of the Tongtian Bridge.

Of course, this is just a simple correspondence.

If we compare them by comprehending their essence, thoroughly understanding the 108 essences of space is comparable to the ability of the twelve levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

This point was clearly recorded in the information given to him by the master of the Qianwu Kingdom.

As the difficulty increases, the guardians of each level of the Sky Bridge will unleash corresponding laws and mysteries.

The mysteries of the laws they unleash may not be the strongest.

But it must be the most standard.

With Qin Ming's understanding of the laws of space, and after observing the Dark Chaos Stele once more, he had already comprehended the first two diagrams, and also understood the 45th spatial essence from the third diagram!
Based on this, it can be roughly deduced that passing the first six levels will be easy.

As for the eighth and ninth floors, that depends on the actual operation.

For Qin Ming, observing his opponent's performance was a great learning opportunity.

Sure enough, under Qin Ming's deliberate guidance, the halberd in the black-clad man's hand seemed to be wrapped with the three most basic spatial laws, and combined together in a very special way.

"Three combinations? I already know this method, the first level isn't very useful to me."

After the masked man attacked continuously for more than ten minutes, Qin Ming slashed the man's throat with his halberd.

The second level of the Sky Bridge.

"I choose the controller."

Qin Ming looked at the cloud of mist in front of him and found a new opponent.

The enormous cloud at the end of this bridge to heaven, similar to the first level, condensed into a figure in black as black liquid flew out.

The man in black rode a strange flying shuttle, with the Universal Town Tower hovering above his head.

"Come and fight!"

Qin Ming didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and directly manipulated the Zhenxing Stone to form the Thousand-Jin Seal.

The opponent, too, had condensed a mighty seal!
Half an hour later, Qin Ming finally killed his opponent.

the third floor.

This time, Qin Ming chose an illusionist as his opponent!

hum!
The moment the man in black appeared, both men looked at each other.

Invisible spiritual forces collided in the void.

Having learned of the opponent's strength, Qin Ming deliberately entered the illusion.

"Hmm, this illusion technique is quite peculiar and extremely domineering, quite different from my 'Eternal Reincarnation' secret technique."

If I could integrate it into my illusion magic, it would definitely lead to a significant improvement.

Qin Ming's eyes lit up.

How strong was his will?

Having endured the onslaught of the monstrous soul energy within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner day and night, and having undergone four soul temperings, its will had long since become incredibly strong.

If he hadn't actively entered the illusion, the other party would never have been able to pull him into it.

whoosh-

Seeing that Qin Ming was trapped in the illusion, the man in black immediately manipulated a beam of light from the shuttle beneath his feet to attack, but it was easily blocked by the Universal Suppressing Tower.

Then, they calmly continued to study the opponent's illusions.

……

"This kid is using the Tongtian Bridge as a training ground."

On Thunder Mountain in the virtual universe, the Lord of Darkness, who was watching Qin Ming, couldn't help but smile.

This is indeed a very good approach.

Unfortunately, not many people use it anymore.

Most people who attempt to cross the Sky Bridge have to fight with all their might; they wouldn't leisurely test their way across layer by layer.

Only someone like Qin Ming, who first raises his strength to an extremely high level and then works his way up layer by layer, could do that.

The Lord of Darkness wasn't the only one paying attention to Qin Ming; many other powerful beings were also watching.

Many people are curious about the new disciple of the Lord of Darkness, or rather, the Lord of Youhou.

Among these people are some powerful beings who have been granted titles of kings or even venerable ones.

After all, he is the first top genius in billions of years to clear all seven trial towers.

With their privileges, they were qualified to watch the battle on the Sky Bridge.

……

The fifth level of the Sky Bridge...

The sixth level of the Sky Bridge...

He faced different opponents time and again: warriors, controllers, illusionists.

Three layers make up one cycle.

The seventh level of the bridge to heaven is in the boundless starry sky.

The bridge extends directly into the starry sky, and at the end of the seven-story sky bridge, a small meteorite several kilometers in diameter is suspended.

Looking at the meteorite floating in front of him, Qin Ming's fighting spirit was ignited.

The skybridge has a threshold every three levels.

The difficulty of the seventh-level sky bridge is a qualitative change.

"According to intelligence, the opponents on the seventh to ninth levels of the Bridge of Heaven all used the sixth level of the Divine Weapon, 'Universal World,' but their strength increased continuously during the process of using it until they finally mastered it. As for the tenth level, that is the seventh level of the Divine Weapon, 'World-Suppressing Stele.'"

Qin Ming's control over the Divine Weapon is only at the sixth level!

However, the contest of strength is not simply a matter of understanding and perception, but also involves factors such as the amplitude of one's soul.

Qin Ming's soul amplitude has now reached an astonishing 20 times.

Compared to the usual use of the Divine Weapon, it was at least 20 times more powerful; the sheer force of the attack was enough to kill the opponent.

The amplitude of the body vibration is also as high as seven times!
This is something that ordinary cosmic beings simply cannot imagine.

"I'll still choose the martial artist! I'm slightly lacking in close combat skills as a martial artist, but with the advantage of body amplitude, I'm still very confident of passing."

If they are no match for us, then we'll resort to other methods.

The Bridge to Heaven chooses its opponents without restricting its own methods; it simply means that the opponents have different fighting styles.

After making a choice.

Snapped!
A piece of rock broke off from the edge of the meteorite and crashed onto the bridge, transforming into a blue-clad figure wearing a blue battle suit, a silver mask, and wielding a halberd.

"A mere Tier 1 cosmic-level cultivator dares to attempt the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge?"

The man in blue had an old voice.

"Let me see your skills!"

Qin Ming didn't reply, but instead spoke directly.

"it is good!"

The man in blue gave a low shout, reversed his grip on the halberd, and instantly vanished from his spot.

boom!
Almost instantly, the man in blue rushed to Qin Ming's side, slashing down with his halberd in an extremely fierce and domineering manner, with a mysterious power faintly swirling around it.

On the other side, Qin Ming's battle halberd flew through the air.

boom! boom!
The two halberds clashed together.

Qin Ming suddenly retreated, and even though his body's amplitude was far greater than his opponent's, he was still knocked back.

Seeing the power of laws swirling around the halberd in the blue-clad man's hand, Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with wild joy.

"As expected! When the controller uses the Universal World, through a special combination, it can allow people to grasp the power of the world in advance. So why can't martial artists do it?"
I simply cannot do that myself.

It was entirely due to the special runes on the Divine Weapon that it was used in a unique way.

The same understanding of the laws allows a divine weapon to be used, and a martial artist's primal force weapon can naturally achieve the same result, only the method is different.

Boom~~
The moment Qin Ming retreated, the man in blue still showed no intention of letting him go and instantly pursued him.

A wisp of pale golden light condensed at the tip of the halberd and pierced directly towards Qin Ming.

"Humph!"

Qin Ming snorted coldly, his Zhenyue Bahuang Halberd sweeping horizontally, his body trembling wildly.

In terms of martial arts combat skills, he is indeed inferior.

However, his physical strength was far greater, and even though he was no match for the blue-clad man empowered by strange forces, he was still able to hold his own.

This is a data-driven dominance!

If the operation doesn't work, use data to compensate.

The Universal Suppressing Tower above Qin Ming's head spun, and countless rays of light flew out from it, quickly condensing into the 'Universe World' around him, but Qin Ming did not attack.

He didn't want to use his control methods to defeat the man in blue unless it was a critical moment.

He wanted to learn from them!
"Come again!"

Qin Ming grinned at the man in blue, lightly brandishing his halberd in a provocative gesture.

"Insanity!"

The man in blue was clearly enraged. He slashed his halberd horizontally at Qin Ming, the power of which was greatly amplified by the strange law power.

boom! boom! boom!
On the battlefield, the two figures clashed fiercely. Every now and then, Qin Ming would manipulate the Universe World to block a fatal attack, but it was only used for defense.

After half a day.

Qin Ming let out a long roar, and a power similar to the laws of nature began to emanate from the halberd in his hand.

"Hahaha, I've finally learned this trick!"

boom!
This time, the man in blue was blasted away.

There was disbelief in his eyes.

This young man is progressing so fast.

At the beginning of the fight, my methods were extremely crude, and I was easily suppressed by him.

However, thanks to his powerful body amplitude and the assistance of the universe, his close combat skills improved at an astonishing rate during the battle.

At this moment, he actually understands how to combine the laws of earth and space to simulate the power of the world!
It's amazing.

In the midst of his great laughter, Qin Ming actually dispelled the 'Universe World' that had been surrounding him.

"Come again!"

"You're far too arrogant. You've only just learned how to use Force weapons to create a special combination of Earth and Void Laws, and you already want to fight me?"

The man in blue had a cold expression.

"You'll know once you try."

Amidst his laughter, Qin Ming launched an attack.

He intends to defeat the man in blue using martial arts techniques!

boom! boom! boom!
The two figures clashed again, attacking each other with extreme ferocity, but this time Qin Ming was in control!

His powerful soul endowed him with extraordinary comprehension and made his thinking speed far exceed that of ordinary people.

When he was on Earth, with no way forward, he collected all the secret techniques on Earth and eventually integrated them to create the "Breaking Army Halberd" with 26 times the power.

This point was not revealed after entering the universe and acquiring too many top-level secret techniques.

He has been learning and accumulating knowledge.

There are too many top-tier secret techniques such as "Black Hole Evolution" and "The Mystic Codex of the Wilderness".

At this moment, thanks to his superior spiritual foundation, even in the most dangerous battles, he still has room to analyze his opponent's moves, to simulate them, and to learn from them.

stab-

Another half hour passed.

Qin Ming slammed his halberd down, sending the blue-clad man flying. He then charged forward, the tip of his halberd swirling with the power of law, piercing the blue-clad man's throat.

The man in blue, die!
