Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Wu Hao continued toward the next level of the Dark Sky Bridge. Yes, his understanding of the laws was only at the level of the sixteenth level Sky Bridge, but this did not mean that his true combat strength was only at the sixteenth level.

The Bridge to Heaven, starting from the tenth floor, represents the common level of immortal-level understanding of the laws; floors eleven to fourteen represent the level of immortal military lord-level understanding of the laws; and floors fifteen to seventeen represent the level of marquis-level understanding of the laws.

Wu Hao's passage through the fifteenth and sixteenth levels already signified that he had attained the level of Marquis-level comprehension of the laws. However, the seventeenth level represented the peak level of Marquis-level comprehension of the laws, indicating that Wu Hao had already reached the pinnacle of the Marquis-level.

But you have to understand that he is only a domain lord who is a few hundred years old. Once Wu Hao fully reveals his talent and potential...

Not only the few top races in the universe that border human territory, but even those top races that do not border human territory would probably try to assassinate him.

So what? Wu Hao has the Main God Space to suppress his soul, so he will never be enslaved by it. Moreover, he currently has three clones, and there will be even more in the future. Almost no alien race can easily suppress and kill him.

Wu Hao wants to show the entire universe just how much of a shock a genius who never gives up and can never be killed can bring to the entire universe.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the seventeenth floor."

"I choose the martial artist!" Wu Hao looked up at the sky.

Rumble~~~
As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, the world lost its color, and countless rays of light flickered and shimmered, until a man in black gradually emerged from the infinite darkness.

He held the Divine Light Sword in one hand and stood high in the air.

"Domain Lord?" A questioning voice came from the man in black. He looked at Wu Hao in surprise and said, "Domain Lord, you are the only one in history to have managed to break into this place!"

Wu Hao grinned and ignored the man in black. His muscles swelled and contracted, and his body, simulated in the virtual universe, was frantically changing under the control of his Four Initial Gene Lock, evolving towards his ideal state.

"What are you doing? Why do I feel like your body is merging with the laws of light? How did you do that? Can you cheat in the virtual universe?" the man in black asked in a puzzled voice.

But as Wu Hao's face turned bright red, a piece of flesh gradually tore off, and blood gushed from his face instantly.

Meanwhile, Wu Hao's body had completely expanded, seemingly transforming into an energy life form.

"This is gene modification, a pharmacist's method, but you can't ingest ammunition in the virtual universe!" the man in black muttered, finally making his judgment, "Excluding all the impossibilities, you are self-regulating your body's genes to achieve the purpose of evolution!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body shot up instantly, and the Divine Light Sword shone brightly, gradually turning into extreme darkness, covering the entire arena.

"Trying to alter your genes to gain greater physical strength? Dream on! Go back and cultivate the laws of nature, where divine light shines infinitely!"

The darkness transformed from the boundless light enveloped Wu Hao's body, and the blade of the Divine Light Sword sliced ​​through everything, seemingly ready to cleave Wu Hao's body at any moment.

Wu Hao desperately used the laws of time to resist, trying to slow down the black-clad man's sword strike, but the difference in their understanding of the laws did not slow the black-clad man down even for a moment.

He had no choice but to extend his right hand, raise the Divine Light Sword high, and use its boundless divine light to block it.

However, the moment the sword in his hand made contact with the opponent's attack, Wu Hao's attack crumbled instantly, and his head tilted as the black-clad man's divine light sword slashed at his shoulder.

This wasn't because he could withstand the attack from a Marquis-level Law Enlightenment with his physical body, but because Wu Hao's left hand, with another sword, blocked the attack from the man in black.

At this moment, everyone on and off the field was shocked by this scene. First, Wu Hao was able to directly modify his bloodline in his virtual body. Second, he was able to create a sword that did not exist out of thin air in the virtual universe.

What exactly was that weapon, and why was it able to be brought into the Dark Sky Bridge Arena without Wu Hao making a choice?

Wu Hao grinned, blood gushing from his mouth, and his maniacal battle roar echoed across the arena: "You're too late! I've already succeeded!"

Yes, he has completed the transformation. Although this physical body cannot compare with the physical body in the real world, it has gained a trace of its spirit.

However, his body's genes had collapsed during the modification. He still has thirty seconds to waste. If he can defeat the man in black within 30 seconds, he can pass the 17th floor.

"Boom!" Wu Hao's right hand instantly launched an attack, its divine light shining brightly, instantly forcing the man in black to fly backward.

After forcing the man in black back, Wu Hao's left-hand lightsaber, which was over a hundred meters long, shone with boundless divine light and attacked his opponent once again.

Yes, the sword he conjured in his left hand was none other than Seth Galaxy, a power he hadn't used in a long time.

Ultraman's lightsaber is closely related to the intensity of light energy within Ultraman's body. When Wu Hao was at the stellar and cosmic level, the opponents he faced all used immortal weapons.

At that time, Seth Galaxy's strength was too low. If you took it out, it would be destroyed by your opponent. It was useless to use but a pity to throw away.

But now his Ultraman body is already at the level of a World Lord. Although its toughness is still not as good as the Divine Light Sword, it is still strong enough to be taken out and used.

When used in the virtual universe, its true strength is no less than that in reality.

Soon, the lightsaber of Seth Galaxy made contact with the black-clad man's divine lightsaber, and the two swords sparked a great deal of fire.

"die!"

Seth Galaxy was withdrawn, and Wu Hao used two swords in his hands, one on the left and one on the right, to unleash the Divine Light Flow simultaneously. Even though his understanding of the laws was not as good as the man in black, he suppressed him for a time and he was unable to fight back.

"This is no ordinary pair of swords!" As an invincible king, Zhenyan immediately saw the exquisite nature of Wu Hao's attack. "Although the Divine Light Sword is known for its lightness and speed, it is actually a two-handed weapon with great power. Yet Wu Hao was able to fuse the various laws of the Divine Light Sword with one hand and bring it to life in actual combat. He is truly gifted!"

Everyone watched the battle unfold, and were once again awestruck by Wu Hao.

"What's even more remarkable is that Wu Hao used different sword techniques with each hand, as if the man in black were fighting two identical opponents with perfect coordination!"

However, as soon as Zhenyan King finished speaking, the man in black suddenly unleashed an even stronger aura, and for a moment there were signs of a counterattack.

However, Wu Hao remained unmoved by his opponent's counterattack. The light of his divine sword dimmed, and the burst of power from his two hands became even stronger.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and laser beams shot out from them, instantly striking the man in black. The man in black's fighting rhythm was disrupted; while carefully dodging the lasers, he instantly tried to create distance again.

However, Wu Hao didn't give him that chance at all. He instantly closed in again, and the Seth Galaxy stretched out for hundreds of meters, instantly enveloping the man in black.

"Die!" Wu Hao closed in again, slicing the black-clad man's body in two with his sword, bringing the battle to a close.

"Congratulations on passing the seventeenth level of the Sky Bridge. Would you like to continue to the next level?"

Just as Wu Hao was about to say something, his entire body's genes instantly collapsed, and he fell to the ground like a pile of rotten flesh.

He was then teleported out of the Dark Skybridge due to his death and entered the hall of the Skybridge plane.

"Huff, huff!"

Wu Hao gasped for breath, the pain still lingering throughout his body. Even though he had suppressed the pain with his willpower at the time, he was still shaken even now that it was all over.

"Hahahahaha!" Wu Hao laughed wildly. He had never fought so fiercely in over a hundred years of arduous cultivation. Now, being able to fight like this allowed him to release all the madness and bloodlust that had been suppressed within him.

After calming down, Wu Hao looked up behind him. He saw hundreds of Kings and Universe Venerables standing behind him, smiling at him with eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, his genuine emotions were completely ignored by the powerful figures. Everyone was concerned about how he managed to genetically modify his body in such a short time.

But everyone knows this is Wu Hao's secret technique. Since Wu Hao doesn't reveal it on his own initiative, no one has the right to ask him to tell us.

Suddenly, Dark Star Venerable frowned. A whisper from the intelligent life form on his shoulder instantly changed his expression.

He then left the crowd and came to Wu Hao's side: "Master has ordered that he wants to see you. Come with me!"

Wu Hao was overjoyed. He had just passed the seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven when his teacher came to find him. Could it be that the teacher wanted to take him as a formal disciple?
He nodded immediately and then followed Dark Star Venerable away via teleportation.

After Wu Hao left, his achievement on the Bridge to Heaven instantly spread throughout the entire human territory via the virtual universe network.

In the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom, the King of the Golden Sword Kingdom is talking with the King of the Qianwu Kingdom. Despite being two cosmic kingdoms with adjacent territories, the relationship between the two kings is quite close.

Suddenly, the King of the Golden Sword Kingdom paused slightly, then turned to the King of the Qianwu Kingdom and said, "Qianwu, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom has produced an extraordinary genius!"

"What? You mean Wu Hao or Luo Feng?" Qianwu was heavily in debt and didn't dare to meet with his friends, so his sources of information were naturally very limited.

"Of course it's Wu Hao!" King Jinlan laughed loudly. "Just now in the virtual universe, Wu Hao, at around three hundred years old and with the strength of a ninth-level Domain Lord, successfully passed through the ninth to seventeenth levels of the Dark Sky Bridge. Such talent is unprecedented and unparalleled. You Qianwu are truly blessed."

"What?" The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was also surprised. He did not expect that the top student in his class, whom he had trained at the Virtual Universe Company branch, could achieve such a level.

Their surprise was secondary; Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong also heard Wu Hao's message and immediately sent emails to inquire.

However, the surprise within the human race was secondary; those truly sensitive to this message were the alien races bordering human territory.

Within the starry sky territory of the Wild Universe Kingdom, in a 'space interlayer' corresponding to a certain star, lies a vast divine kingdom.

This magnificent divine kingdom is the location of the Zerg's infiltrative organization.

Within the divine realm, a figure in golden robes suddenly ran and shouted, "Master, Master, important intelligence! Important intelligence!"

His hurried steps stirred up chaos among countless Zerg warriors, and countless Zerg beasts roared at him.

Suddenly, a clear and charming voice rang out from the sky. The voice was melodious and gentle, as if giving people endless warmth: "What's the panic? Can't you just tell me what information you have?"

The man in the golden robe immediately stopped and respectfully knelt before the Zerg mother hive protected by a large number of immortal Zerg warriors above, saying, "Master, we just received news that Wu Hao of the human race, who is also 001 on the assassination list, just went to break through the Heavenly Bridge. He started from the ninth level and broke through eight levels in a row. At the age of only three hundred years old and with the status of a domain lord, he has reached the seventeenth level."

"What!" The golden-robed man's words instantly unsettled the Zerg Queen. She detached herself from the hive, flew down, and grabbed the golden-robed man's shoulder. "Is the news true or false? Have you verified the intelligence?"

"Of course it's true!" The man in the golden robe swallowed hard, shrinking back nervously. "I saw it with my own eyes; there's no way it could be fake!"

The Zerg Queen instantly flew into a rage, and all the Zerg in the entire divine kingdom fell silent in fear: "The seventeenth level of the Bridge to Heaven is the comprehension of the laws at the peak of the Marquis level. A mere 300-year-old brat actually has the comprehension of the laws at the peak of the Marquis level. Is this the next Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master? No, this is the next Universe Master! Humanity, humanity absolutely cannot allow a Universe Master to grow up under my nose!"

"I absolutely will not allow it, I absolutely will not allow it!" The Queen Mother was acting like a madwoman. Judging from her face, she seemed to be the one who had tried to kill Wu Hao.

"Report to the higher-ups, and notify the other races!" The Zerg Queen's voice rang out simultaneously in the minds of all the Zerg. "I refuse to believe they would tolerate such a genius emerging from among humans!"

A genius of the trillion-epoch level—a genius that only emerges once every ten trillion epochs in the initial universe from its birth to its destruction, appearing now in the territory of the human race—is not a tragedy for other races.

Back then, the human race rose to power and suppressed several other top races. Now, we absolutely cannot allow any human to rise to such a powerful position again.

Not only the Zerg intelligence network, but also the Machine Race, the Demon Race, the Prison Race, the Crystal Race, and others heard the news and each reacted accordingly.

However, at this moment, on Thunder Island in the virtual universe, Nine Swords Venerable and Longyu King gathered together. Looking at his subordinate who had been away for a long time, Nine Swords Venerable said, "It seems that Wu Hao's talent is so high that I can no longer control him. Longyu, how was your relationship with him during the hundreds of years you went to protect him?"

Having already been informed by the Nine Swords Venerable, King Longyu was now being questioned about their personal relationship, so he naturally had to tell the truth: "Longyu and His Highness Wu Hao are just ordinary protectors and protected persons, and have no deep personal relationship!"

"Hey, as expected of you!" Nine Swords shook his head. As a Venerable without a deep backing, he had long understood the importance of making friends. Wu Hao had shown great talent back then, and when Longyu King was assigned there, he hadn't had any personal relationship with him for a hundred years.

"Well, that works too. At least we're protecting him, so there's some semblance of affection involved."
