Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 128 Stunning Beauty on the Bridge to Heaven
Tongtian Bridge stretches to the end of the world, surrounded by mist and mist, and the sea below is surging.

Wu Hao had just stepped into the Dark Tower of Babel when he received an email from the Virtual Universe Company.

The angel read the email word by word to Wu Hao: "The Dark Sky Bridge has twenty-six levels. Passing the first level rewards 100 points, the second level rewards 200 points, the third level rewards 400 points, and so on, doubling the points each time..."

"At the same time, newcomers who pass through the Sky Bridge within thirty years of entering Chaos City will receive a tenfold reward in points. They will also receive 1000 points for passing the first level and 2000 points for passing the second level within thirty years."

After the angel read it once, Wu Hao's aura surged, and he immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

Inside one of the nine-story towers in Chaos City, the Nine Swords Venerable heard a report from one of his subordinates who had been granted the title of King.

"Wu Hao actually chose the Dark Chaos Monument?" He frowned, his eyes filled with endless confusion.

The Dark Chaos Stele was already considered a lower-grade one among the 52 Chaos Steles, and he had never heard of many powerful individuals who cultivated the Dark Chaos Stele in his life.

Nine Swords himself was a high-level Venerable who rose to prominence several decades ago. His rise was quite legendary. Apart from a teacher who reached the pinnacle of the King level, he never joined any other faction.

Therefore, he was not aware of many of his secrets and naturally did not know that there was a hidden dark lord behind the Virtual Universe Company.

"Did he challenge the Bridge to Heaven today?" Nine Swords' brows relaxed again. Choosing the Dark Chaos Stele wasn't a bad thing; at least he wouldn't have to worry about Wu Hao becoming too strong and leaving his command. "Continue to monitor Wu Hao's progress on the Bridge to Heaven. Report to me immediately if there are any developments!"

"Yes!" The powerful king immediately withdrew and headed to the location of the Tongtian Bridge.

At the same time, another person was also paying attention to Wu Hao; that was Dark Star Venerable, who had already become a mid-level universe venerable.

As the eighth disciple of the Lord of Darkness, he is the one who truly inherits the mantle of the Lord of Darkness.

Upon seeing yet another young genius on the path of cultivation, he immediately turned his attention to him.

For the various Venerables within the Virtual Universe Company, a genius at the billion-epoch level was indeed eye-catching. Almost all the Venerables related to the laws of light and time focused their attention on Wu Hao.

Under the watchful eyes of countless venerable beings, Wu Hao began his journey to conquer the Tongtian Bridge.

“We’ve reached the first level!” Wu Hao looked at the Sky Bridge beneath his feet, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. “If we’re going to shock the whole audience, we need to get used to the moves of the Dark Sky Bridge in the first few levels and see where the difference lies between them and what I’ve learned.”

At the same time, the announcement from the Bridge to Heaven also came: "Choose your opponent. You can choose any opponent: a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Defeating your opponent will allow you to pass through the first level of the Bridge to Heaven."

"I choose a martial artist!" Wu Hao chose his opponent almost without hesitation.

With Saiyan and Ultraman bloodlines, taking the other two paths would be a waste of his life.

Whoosh!
A ball of black liquid immediately flew out from the clouds. This black liquid began to condense and solidify in mid-air, transforming into a mysterious figure wearing a black mask.

The mysterious figure, clad in heavy armor and wielding a white 'divine light sword,' stared coldly at Wu Hao: "Battle, begin!"

Wu Hao was not surprised at all and quietly waited for the mysterious person to make a move.

Divine light fades - light descends! Without hesitation, the mysterious man immediately used the move that Wu Hao used most often in the internal selection battle.

A beam of light streaked across the sky, and just as it was about to strike Wu Hao, Wu Hao instantly activated the fourth-tier primary gene lock, quietly sensing the difference in the power his opponent used.

"It's interesting that the artistic conception I use is different!" Wu Hao is Ultraman, and his light is softer and full of divinity, while his opponent's light is more intense and pure, without much divine charm hidden in it.

Just as the light pierced Wu Hao's forehead, the light formed by the laws instantly blocked the longsword, preventing the black-clad man's divine light sword from advancing even an inch.

Your moves are quite good, but unfortunately your speed and strength are far too lacking!
Wu Hao countered with the same radiant light, a gentle yet divinely intense glow that illuminated the entire arena and engulfed the man in black.

"First level of the Dark Sky Bridge cleared. Would you like to challenge the second level?"

The announcement came from afar, and Wu Hao agreed without hesitation.

The countless Venerables who were watching Wu Hao's performance in the darkness nodded in approval when they saw that Wu Hao had successfully challenged the first level.

Nine Swords then said to his generals, "It is indeed easy for a genius of the billion-epoch level to successfully challenge the Bridge of Heaven on his first attempt, but it is rare to see someone do it so quickly. I wonder which level he can reach."

A powerful expert standing nearby said, "He'll probably stop at the second level. No matter how talented Wu Hao is, he's only cultivated for a little over thirty years. Even if he's a genius of billions of epochs, reaching the second level should be his limit."

Everyone around nodded in agreement, seemingly showing strong agreement with their colleague's opinion.

However, when Wu Hao entered the second level, he also chose a martial artist as his opponent.

The Second Stage of Divine Light Flow - Divine Light Judgment
When the man in black used this move, Wu Hao's eyes were full of admiration. This was the move he was most skilled at, and when the man in black used it...

Wu Hao discovered that, apart from the obvious difference in the artistic conception of the light, his technique and the timing of his exertion were almost identical to his opponent's.

"Now that my cultivation path has been verified to be correct, let's proceed to the next level!"

Wu Hao's sword also flashed, using the same move as the man in black, and even their use of power was exactly the same.

However, the battle ended in victory for Wu Hao.

"Same moves, same techniques, same power, same physique! But with the boost from the genetic lock, I'm practically invincible among my peers."

But that's not the only difference. Even with the same level of understanding, the power he wields through the laws of light is far greater than that of ordinary people.

If a being of the level of a universe lord were to pay attention to Wu Hao, they would find that Wu Hao is like a darling of the laws, with the law of light forming an invisible legal protection for him.

"Next is the third floor!" Wu Hao moved his feet and began to walk towards the next floor.

"So fast!" The powerful figures watching from the darkness discussed among themselves, each praising Wu Hao's speed of clearing the level. "With such a fast clearing speed, the third level should be a piece of cake for him. Could he really be a genius of the billions of epochs?"

Although everyone had heard rumors about Wu Hao, no one dared to make a decision before Wu Hao demonstrated his true potential. After all, Wu Hao was said to be a genius, but he had not actually tested his skills.

But Wu Hao's speed in clearing the two levels of the Sky Bridge has far exceeded everyone's expectations, and no one knows where he will end up.

"I remember my record for the first time I cleared the level was the fourth level of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, right? I wonder if Wu Hao can surpass that record!"

"What are you thinking? The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master is a being of a certain level. He is one of the pillars of our human race. How could a little guy like Wu Hao compare to him?"

"Even geniuses of billions of epochs cannot compare?"

However, no one answered from the darkness. Wu Hao walked towards the third level of the Dark Sky Bridge. "You've come!" The intelligence of the man in black on the third level had clearly increased, and communication became smooth. "Starting from the third level, each level of the Dark Sky Bridge is much more difficult than the one before. If you want to pass the third level, you're simply delusional!"

Wu Hao frowned. He still preferred opponents who were direct and didn't mince words.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, take this sword light that cuts through the air!"

Suddenly, the sword in his hand shone brightly. In an instant, Wu Hao's laws of light twisted into more than a hundred illusory forms, and the light, like a dazzling sun, pierced through the body of the man in black.

The speed of clearing the third level was even faster than before, and this achievement once again shocked the surrounding Venerables. Even Longyu King, the subordinate of Nine Swords Venerable who was responsible for observing here, immediately flew towards the nine-story tower where Nine Swords was located.

In a secluded room in a certain Chaos City, Bruno had just entered a meditative state when he suddenly received an email.

The email clearly displayed Wu Hao's score, and he couldn't help but read it aloud: "Wu Hao has cleared the third level of the Dark Sky Bridge!"

His mind collapsed instantly, as if countless rays of light exploded in his mind, and his heart was filled with the final match of the internal selection competition a few years ago.

Wu Hao's thousands of illusory bodies unleashed sword light that cleaved through the air, blasting him into pieces.

His ambition to be on par with Wu Hao crumbled, and he finally understood the true value of Wu Hao's genius, a talent spanning billions of epochs. Such a powerful figure was simply beyond his reach. He imagined that this experience of fighting Wu Hao would be a highlight of his life many years later.

However, at that moment, Wu Hao had already arrived at the next floor.

Three years ago, he had already mastered the third level of the passage of time. Before entering the initial universe, he had already achieved the third level of the Bridge to Heaven.

These three years of cultivation, coupled with his comprehension of the Dark Chaos Stele, have allowed Wu Hao's strength to increase even further.

However, before he actually broke through to the next level, Wu Hao didn't know exactly how much his strength had increased, or which level of the Bridge to the Sky he could reach.
Upon reaching the fourth floor, Wu Hao looked at the gradually taking shape man in black, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Are the men in black on this floor worthy of his full strength?

"You instantly killed the gatekeeper of the previous level; your strength is indeed quite impressive. In millions of eons, you are the first person to reach me on their first attempt." The black man instantly drew his divine light sword, its radiance dazzling in all directions. "However, your journey ends here!"

Wu Hao also drew his Divine Light Sword without hesitation. The two identical light swords faced each other, and both of them simultaneously used their strongest sword moves.

"Divine Light Sword, Fourth Level - Sword Light Shines Everywhere!"

At the same moment, both sides unleashed tens of thousands of sword beams, their brilliance as dazzling as a supernova explosion, radiating boundless power and wantonly shattering and destroying everything around them.

Wherever the sword light touched, nothing could escape its damage; the scorching, dazzling energy of the light engulfed everything.

Wu Hao's clothes were torn to shreds, and his armor was shattered, leaving him without any protection.

However, his opponent had already fallen quietly, leaving only a few crumbs on his clothes.

"Wu Hao has passed the fourth level of the Dark Sky Bridge. Would you like to proceed to the next level?" The voice from afar remained cold and mechanical, seemingly unfazed by Wu Hao's achievement.

He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, open the next level of the Sky Bridge immediately!"

Once the news spread that Wu Hao had passed the fourth level of the Sky Bridge, everyone immediately began to doubt its authenticity.

However, Wu Hao's clean and efficient swordsmanship on the Tongtian Bridge passage video silenced all doubts and immediately attracted the attention of countless powerful figures.

"Another Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master has appeared. Tens of millions of epochs have passed. Has our human race produced another genius of this caliber?"

But unsurprisingly, this news was also discovered by some little insects in the darkness.

Countless light-years away, a great being looked at the information in his hand.

"Has humanity produced another genius at the level of a cosmic overlord? Oh, only just entered the cosmic level. Let's put him on the assassination list and observe him for now, ranking him fifth!"

Wu Hao ascended to the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge. The Divine Light Sword is a weapon that is fast and powerful, and the accompanying Divine Light Flow is also a martial arts manual that pursues the ultimate killing power.

The most important point is that he abandoned his own defense and made killing the enemy his primary objective, which is why Wu Hao's speed in clearing the levels was so rapid.

"I was already struggling a bit after defeating my opponent on the fourth floor; he even tore my clothes. I absolutely cannot give my opponent on the fifth floor that chance again!"

The opponent on the fifth floor should be using the fifth level of the Divine Light Sword's Flowing Light Sword Shadow!

The man in black materialized, his eyes instantly revealing a fierce glint.

"You are the first person in billions of years to reach me on your first attempt!" the man in black continued. "I will treat you with respect and allow you to return to where you came from for cultivation as quickly as possible."

After the sword was drawn, the entire battle space on the Tongtian Bridge flickered between light and darkness, making it difficult to see what was happening around them.

The laws of time and light accelerated their flow, distorting the surrounding space and causing darkness and light to flicker and intertwine.

Whoosh! The man in black instantly rushed out from his spot, and with the acceleration of the time law, his movements were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Wu Hao immediately unleashed his own Flowing Light Sword Shadow technique, disrupting the frequency of the surrounding light and darkness in an attempt to counterattack.

However, while his understanding of the laws of light was barely keeping up with his opponent's, his comprehension of the laws of time was far too far behind.

"With this little strength, you think you can pass the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge? Go back now!"

The sword light struck in front of Wu Hao, forcing him to use the Divine Light Sword to block.

However, the laws of time were accelerating the flow of time at an alarming rate, making it increasingly difficult for Wu Hao to defend himself with his longsword.

Time, as a superior law, is simply too much for a subordinate law like light to handle. To overcome the strong with the weak, other means must be used.

boom!
A beam of light shot towards the man in black. It was a flying knife manipulated by Wu Hao using his Ultra Telekinesis. The blade's light separated the man from Wu Hao, putting pressure on Wu Hao's breathing.

The opponent on the fifth level was indeed powerful enough that even with his cheat-like understanding of the laws, he couldn't keep up with him.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for using every means at my disposal!"
