Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

"How many times do you think Wu Hao will make it this time?" In the Tongtian Bridge plane, Zhenyan King and several companions were talking to each other.

Zhenyan turned to Longyu King and asked, "Longyu, I heard that the Nine Swords Venerable sent you to protect that little guy Wu Hao. How is it? Do you know what his strength is now?"

Longyu Wang shook his head, then solemnly said, "In all these years of protecting him, I haven't seen Wu Hao use his full strength, but he should have the strength of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. I feel he should be around the twelfth level."

“Hahaha!” Zhenyan shook his head and said, “Back when Wu Hao came to Chaos City, apart from those Venerables, only our group could see that he was at the Stellar level and was recognized by the Law of Light, and was hailed as a genius of the trillion-epoch level. Now that he has been out of Chaos City for more than two hundred years, how could he only be at the twelfth level? I think he is at least at the thirteenth level.”

"Forget it!" Another King shook his head and said, "Cultivation speed will slow down when you're outside. Wu Hao didn't stay at the Universe level for very long, and he didn't even try to seize the cultivation missions and opportunities in several universes. How could he possibly progress so quickly? I think he's at most at the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge right now."

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than Wu Hao casually drew his sword and slashed through the Dark Sky Bridge, killing the guardian of the ninth level without any apparent use of martial arts techniques.

"How could it be so easy!" Everyone was instantly amazed. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Wu Hao's strength, but rather that he killed the man in black so easily and effortlessly.

"It's the Law of Time!" King Zhenyan exclaimed. "Such a profound understanding of the Law of Time! To directly suppress the opponent's actions with the Law of Time, rendering them unable to resist, requires a complete and utter crushing understanding of the gatekeeper's Law of Time to achieve such ease!"

On the dark, sky-reaching bridge, Wu Hao shook his head and sighed before continuing down to the next level.

The nine-story dark bridge that had once caused him great trouble was now utterly insignificant in his eyes.

Hopefully, the next level of the sky bridge will allow him to warm up.

A moment later, the man in black on the tenth floor appeared in front of Wu Hao. He looked up at Wu Hao and said, "You are very strong, but I will use all my strength to stop you from going to the next floor!"

Wu Hao ignored his nonsense and drew his sword to charge forward. The laws of time and light manifested around him, instantly suppressing the black-clad man's comprehension of the laws. His originally gleaming divine sword was replaced by darkness, leaving only the light sword in Wu Hao's hand shining alone on the entire arena.

"Next level!"

Wu Hao turned his gaze away from the fragments of the man in black and headed straight for the dark sky bridge on the next level.

Outside the dark, sky-reaching bridge, everyone looked at Wu Hao, who seemed nonchalant, with eyes full of light.

It seems that today they are about to witness a miracle, a miracle that will shake the entire universe.

The black-clad man on the eleventh floor unleashed the seventh level of Divine Light Flowing, but his myriad sword lights had already reached the pinnacle. Wu Hao fought against him and felt the difference for a while, but he felt that the man was much weaker than him. He immediately killed the opponent on the eleventh floor with a single sword strike and headed to the next floor.

The black-clad man on the twelfth floor used the eighth level of the Great Perfection of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, where the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One had been completely fused together at the same time. After admiring it briefly once more, Wu Hao defeated him with the same move.

On the island in the Tongtian Bridge plane, a large group of immortals and venerables gathered in silence, staring at the screen in shock.

The twelve-story Heavenly Bridge has already reached the level of a military lord's immortal understanding of the laws.

Judging from Wu Hao's expression, he seemed very relaxed and carefree, as if it were a picnic.

"Incredible, incredible! He is indeed a genius of the billion-era level, even stronger than Coty. This kind of strength is simply beyond all our imagination."

"Of course, geniuses of this caliber cannot be judged by common sense. They always have an imagination that is far stronger than your understanding!"

At this moment, Wu Hao continued to walk forward, and the black-clad man on the next level gradually took shape. He drew his long sword and looked at Wu Hao's face.

"You are currently the strongest at the Domain Lord level in the entire Primordial Secret Realm. Reaching this level seems very easy for you. However, I wonder how you compare to those geniuses of the past?"

The man in black had icy eyes, but his tone was completely at odds with his expression: "I have tested countless geniuses. Are you the next Coty, the next Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, or the next Lord of the Netherworld?"

"Maybe I'll be the next Giant Axe?" Wu Hao couldn't help but tease when the other party compared him to countless powerful figures.

"Hahaha!" Not only the black-clad men, but also the countless kings and venerables watching from the sidelines burst into laughter. Among them, the one who laughed the most was the Dark Star Venerable in the crowd.

"Hahaha, Dark Star, did you hear what your junior brother said? He said he's the next Giant Axe!" A Venerable laughed so hard he almost fell over, his eyes full of contempt. "I'm dying of laughter, the next strongest in the universe."

Upon hearing this assessment, Dark Star's expression instantly changed drastically. "What are you laughing at? Laughing at someone climbing towards the summit? He dares to compare himself to a giant axe because he is a genius of the trillion-era level. And you? What are you? Do you dare to compare yourself to a giant axe?"

The Venerable One's face instantly darkened, but he dared not argue with Dark Star.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Dark Star continued, "We must not lose the courage to continue climbing towards the realm of the strong. If we can't even look up, when will we ever have the strength to become the ultimate universe overlord, the master of the universe?"

“Dark Star is right!” A high-ranking Venerable nodded. “Just like that Qian Wu, as one of the strongest among the rulers of the universe, he still has the courage to fight to the death and strives to become stronger. Although he is currently unlucky and has fallen twice, who can guarantee that he will fail next time? Perhaps in the future, we will need to pay him the respects he deserves!”

"That's right!" everyone agreed in unison.

While the Venerables were talking to each other, Wu Hao once again cleaved through the guardian of the thirteenth floor with a single strike and broke through to the fourteenth floor.

The guardian of the fourteenth floor stood high in the sky, looking down at Wu Hao.

"It's been a long time since anyone at the Domain Lord level has been able to create this place. I remember the last person to reach this point with Domain Lord strength was Coty. I wonder if you'll be the next one!"

"Hmph!" Wu Hao sneered, "You dare to compare yourself to me with a mere grain of rice? Do you think a fallen genius can stand shoulder to shoulder with me? This time, I'm here to prove to the entire universe that I, Wu Hao, deserve the title of a genius at the trillion-epoch level. I don't need to compare myself to anyone. My only opponent is myself!"

Enraged, Wu Hao drew his sword. Without waiting for the man in black to make a move, he unleashed the eighth level of Divine Light, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, and instantly killed the man in black on the fourteenth level.

"What? Impossible!"

"What?! How can this be?!"

Outside the arena, on the Tongtian Bridge dimension, everyone exclaimed in amazement once again. Wu Hao's progress had slowed down, and they had all concluded that he was on the fourteenth or fifteenth floor.

But what is this now? He actually killed the gatekeeper of the fourteenth floor in one move.

Using only one move indicates that Wu Hao still has energy left and can reach even higher levels.

"Next is the comprehension of the laws at the Marquis Immortal level, which is the Marquis Immortal level! Who can reach the Marquis level of law comprehension at the Domain Lord level? Is this something a human can do? Even those few special life forms in the universe could not reach such a level at the Domain Lord level, right?"

"It seems we are about to witness a miracle. Who was the last person to achieve the level of a Domain Lord and possess the comprehension of a Marquis?"

"I don't know, maybe there isn't one at all. Anyone capable of comprehending this law would have already broken through to become a Realm Lord. It's impossible for them to comprehend a law at the Domain Lord level." "Yeah, who would comprehend a law at the Domain Lord level? Realm Lords are the most suitable life level for comprehending laws. Suppressing oneself at this level is completely unnecessary!"

However, none of this affected Wu Hao at all, and he soon walked onto the fifteenth level of the Sky Bridge.

The man in black looked at Wu Hao and said, "You're quite good. In these ten million epochs, you are the first person to break through to my territory with the strength of a Domain Lord. I hope you can advance to the next level!"

Wu Hao remained silent and raised the Divine Light Sword again with both hands.

Unlike the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, the fourteenth level was only one level weaker in his understanding and was still very instructive. He needed to learn from it and verify each other's understanding.

"Please choose one of the following as your opponent: a martial artist, a mentalist, or an illusionist!"

"A martial artist!" Wu Hao chose his opponent without hesitation.

"Whoosh!" The guardian of the fifteenth level also used the technique of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, but his understanding of the laws of time and light had been greatly perfected, and the entire Tongtian Bridge was covered with countless long swords.

The terrifying power was concentrated together, and this ultimate move of unifying ten thousand swords was used like an ordinary attack.

Wu Hao countered in kind, and the two fought from high altitude to ground, and then from ground to high altitude again.

While fighting, Wu Hao observed his opponent's attack methods, finally seeing every detail of his moves perfectly.

"I've finished learning, let's move on to the next level!" Instantly, Wu Hao's sword light surged again, and the burst of power engulfed the man in black like a tsunami.

After the light faded, Wu Hao looked expressionlessly at the long path leading to the next level of the Heavenly Bridge, then walked in.

"It's the fifteenth floor! How many floors can he actually reach? How many floors can he possibly reach?!"

In the Tongtian Bridge dimension, people seemed numb and quietly awaited Wu Hao to deliver even more shocks.

The fifteenth level represents the level of law comprehension at the Marquis/Immortal level. For a Domain Lord around three hundred years old to have reached the Marquis/Immortal level in law comprehension is simply outrageous.

No matter how talented or brilliant a person may have been, no one could comprehend the laws to this extent with the strength of a domain lord.

The reason Wu Hao was able to reach this point as a Domain Lord is twofold: firstly, he used the Immortal Fruit and Shadow Clone technique to gain an unfair advantage; secondly, he was young enough that he did not break through the Life Realm too quickly.

The sixteenth level is the limit of Wu Hao's comprehension of the laws. Facing opponents at this level, Wu Hao must be careful.

This level is quite a challenge for him, and it should give him a good time.

"Hahaha, not bad. You are the first person in countless years to reach the sixteenth level with the strength of a Domain Lord. The future of humanity needs geniuses like you, but I will not hold back." The man in black drew his Divine Light Sword, his eyes coldly fixed on Wu Hao: "In this battle, I will give you a profound lesson, so that you will know that the Domain Lord level has its limits. You should cultivate to the level of a World Lord as soon as possible before challenging me again!"

Wu Hao ignored his opponent, and the two of them simultaneously drew their divine swords and slashed at him.

The Ninth Level of Divine Light Flows Away – Infinity!
Both swung their swords simultaneously, and the sword light instantly covered the entire martial arts arena. The two beams of light collided with each other, and the light shone brightly to the extreme in an instant.

Throughout the entire competition, nothing else could be seen but the brilliance.

The onlookers outside were the same; they could no longer see what was happening on the stage.

The light obscured everything in the arena, and only the two people on the field knew what had happened between them.

Moments later, the arena, which had been shining brightly, suddenly turned as if a black hole had appeared, becoming extremely dark. There was still no way to detect what was happening.

"Damn it, these people who master the laws of light are always showing either the aurora or extreme darkness. Can't they give the spectators a better viewing experience?"

However, the fact that those who do not cultivate the laws of light cannot see clearly does not mean that Venerable Dark Star cannot see clearly.

At this moment, through his senses of the laws of light, he could clearly see the battle between Wu Hao and the gatekeeper.

The two are evenly matched; it all comes down to who can find the other's weakness first.

Wu Hao dared not be careless in the slightest. His eyes and mental energy could be blocked by the laws of light, but the aura of the laws would not affect his judgment.

Perceiving the world through the laws of light is far clearer than seeing it with your eyes and mental power.

Therefore, neither he nor the man in black, who were fighting on the scene, were affected in the slightest by the changes in the laws of light.

Both of them were now treating the ninth level of infinity as a means of ordinary attack.

Such explosive output inevitably turns what should have been a quick battle into a war of attrition.

After five or six seconds, both sides had already made nearly a hundred moves each, yet neither of them seemed to be exhausted.

"Impossible! How could you possibly be like this? Why can your body still unleash its power? Where do you get all that extra strength? How come your body hasn't collapsed yet?!"

Hearing the man in black's hysteria, Wu Hao smiled contemptuously and said, "The standardized body given by the virtual universe, although its life level cannot be modified, can be freely modified by me in terms of genes and gene expression. As long as I can transform the body into a different bloodline, I can naturally unleash the potential in the bloodline at will!"

After another exchange of blows, the black-clad man, who was clearly showing signs of fatigue, was pierced through by Wu Hao's Divine Light Sword.

Finally, he killed the gatekeeper of the sixteenth level and passed through the sixteenth level of the Dark Sky Bridge.

After the battle ended, the laws of light on the Tongtian Bridge dissipated, and the outside world could see the situation clearly again.

Wu Hao stood there alone, and the Tongtian Bridge dimension announced that Wu Hao had broken through to the sixteenth level.

A gasp rippled through the crowd as everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

How many eras has it been? In the history of humankind, has anyone ever been able to reach this place at the level of a Domain Lord?
Everyone had a big question mark in their heads, but along with their questions, Wu Hao continued to head towards the next level's sky bridge intersection.

"Is he going to try to advance to the next level?" (End of Chapter)
