Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 83 Crossing the Sky Bridge, a Record? (3.2k)

Virtual universe, Yu Xiangshan.

The Golden Axe Venerable was outside the Chaos City Lord's palace. Seeing Luo Feng emerge, he went to greet him and said:

"Junior brother, how's it going? Is your teacher urging you to go and build the Sky Bridge?"

"You should have gotten it done sooner."

"Once I clear the twelfth level and conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain, I can directly break through to the Domain Lord level!"

"Yes, I've been stuck at the Universe level for a long time." Luo Feng thought to himself. He wasn't even thinking about breaking through to the Domain Lord level, but rather about just going straight to the World Lord level. The highest score mission at the Domain Lord level didn't offer very high rewards.

There's no need to try and prove yourself by breaking through the original Tongtian Mountain of the Domain Lord again.

The Golden Axe Venerable looked him over and saw that his junior brother had a bright future. In just a few decades, he had already reached the level of the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Many cosmic venerables couldn't achieve this in the early stages of cultivation. After all, not all powerful beings soar to the top in one leap. Some achieve it through sudden enlightenment, opportunities, and countless years of cultivation. For example, the lifespan of a realm lord is a full thousand epochs, which is ten million years.

What's a few decades?
But for this junior brother, the changes over the past few decades have been earth-shattering! Venerable Golden Axe believes that Luo Feng is at least a potential cosmic overlord! He may even have the potential to become the master of the universe.

"How's your cultivation in the Blood Luo World going? I told you to collect more Blood Luo Crystals, did you do it? If you haven't left the Blood Luo World yet, you must listen to me, those Blood Luo Crystals are very valuable," Venerable Golden Axe reminded him.

The only way to plunder Blood Crystals is through cultivation missions at the cosmic level. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no other way to obtain them.

The only option is to buy it at a high price.

"I listened to my senior brother's words," Luo Feng replied.

Venerable Golden Axe nodded, quite satisfied with this junior brother. He was also thinking that if this junior brother really soared to the heavens and became the master of the universe, then he might have a powerful backer in the future.

At his level, even with secluded cultivation, it's difficult to make any progress. It's more worthwhile to spend some free time building relationships with outstanding junior brothers.

“Since you’ve already looted it, remember not to sell it to the company. It’s only 600 points per piece, who are they trying to rip off? If you want to sell it, I can help you find a buyer. The price will be much, much higher than this. I won’t make a single penny of profit,” said Venerable Golden Axe.

He immediately realized something and lowered his voice, saying, "Junior brother, please don't tell the teacher what I just said. This thing is forbidden, and you have to sell it secretly."

"Junior brother understands, but senior brother, shall I go and try to cross the Tongtian Bridge?" Luo Feng was already eager for his teacher's reward and took the initiative to suggest it.

The Golden Axe Venerable said, "Go, go! I'll be waiting for your good news after you've passed the twelfth level!"

Chen Qi watched from the system space, listening to Golden Axe's words. He thought that this Golden Axe Venerable was not a bad person.

And in recent years.

Whenever Luo Feng had any questions or problems that had troubled him for a long time, he would ask Venerable Golden Axe, who would always answer him without reservation.

He also pointed out some key details, such as the Blood Crystal, which is a closely guarded secret.

If Chen Qi hadn't known, Luo Feng could have actually gained a considerable amount of resources from this.

"However, the most important thing is that Luo Feng is too amazing now. Even Jin Fu, a Universe Venerable, no longer puts on any airs and treats him almost like an equal."

Luo Feng returned to his manor in the Primordial Secret Realm, saw Dylan, and greeted him. Dylan's true form was still at the entrance of the Primordial Secret Realm, with his real body.

"Babata, tell Teacher Zhenyan that I'm going to cross the Tongtian Bridge."

Last time, Luo Feng didn't mention it to Teacher Zhenyan Wang because he had broken into the Tongtian Bridge. Teacher Zhenyan Wang had brought it up while drinking, and Luo Feng could clearly feel that Teacher Zhenyan Wang still cared about these things.

This time, he needs to give a notification.

Teacher Zhenyan treated him very well.

After receiving the reply from the True King, Luo Feng began to make his choice:
"Break through the sky bridge."

brush~
Luo Feng's figure disappeared.

A unique skybridge space.

A floating island is surrounded by a vast ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see, with rolling waves and fifty-two sky bridges leading directly to the horizon.

"Luo Feng, you're here! It's been a long time." 'Baffin' was also very enthusiastic.

Luo Feng nodded. Ever since he was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City, almost everyone had become enthusiastic.

He asked:

Is anyone inside the Nine Heavens Bridge?

“There is one, but it looks like it won’t pass and will lose soon,” said the guardian, Baffin.

The watchman, Baffin, asked proactively:

How many floors are you planning to attempt this time?

"The fourteenth floor." Luo Feng grinned.

"The fourteenth floor?" Baffin was slightly taken aback, but seeing Luo Feng's smile, he assumed it was a joke, and still chimed in:

"Excellent! As expected of Lord Chaos City Lord's outstanding disciple."

"He opened his mouth and said fourteen floors!"

"I wish you success in achieving your goal and breaking the universe-level record."

"Records?" Luo Feng was curious. Did the Tongtian Bridge really have records? He had never heard of that before!
Baffin then said:

"It's not anything important, it's just that people at the cosmic level, domain lord level, and world lord level have all cleared levels higher than those corresponding to the original Tongtian Mountain."

"And they are all on the same level."

"For example, there are two super strong individuals who have cleared the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven with a cosmic-level skill."

"Yes, you may have heard of his name, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace! In his early years, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was trapped in a secret universe realm where a mission was located for a long time due to some circumstances. He was mistakenly thought to have died, but in fact he obtained a great opportunity."

"Even the virtual universe has been cut off."

"Therefore, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was trapped at the cosmic level for a long time."

"After coming out, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace tried to cross the Heavenly Bridge again, passing through several levels until he reached the thirteenth level."

"However, it's not common for geniuses to deliberately get stuck at the cosmic level for an extended period of time. There are many who get stuck at the realm master level, for example. The realm master level has the added benefit of clearer laws, so it's very necessary for geniuses to get stuck at that level. Some even endure until they are close to their life limit in order to break through and achieve the titles of marquis or king."

Luo Feng listened with some emotion, but he didn't plan to wait until his death. Even if he managed to borrow all his money by then, it probably wouldn't last many years. Why wait until the end?

"Hey, all done. There's no one on the Nine Heavens Bridge anymore, you can go in now." Baffin said, and a challenger flew out in a disheveled state.

He was a domain lord of a primordial secret realm, but he failed to pass the eleventh level; this realm had been blocking him for too long.

"Senior, I'm going."

Luo Feng said something and flew towards the Nine Heavens Bridge.

"Haha, keep it up! If you can make it through the fourteenth floor in a cosmic way, that'll be a record-breaking achievement," Baffin's voice rang out from behind.

This left the lord of the original secret realm somewhat bewildered.

what?
Fourteenth floor?
What a joke.

He looked over and felt that Luo Feng's back looked somewhat familiar. He asked Baffin, "Senior, who is that person?"

“Luo Feng!” Baffin said.

“Luo Feng???” The domain lord 'Baron' was reluctant to leave.

He was very curious about this Luo Feng.

because
Baron is the last one at the Domain Lord level in the Primal Secret Realm. If Luo Feng breaks through to the Domain Lord level, then he will most likely be eliminated after the qualification battle.

Little did he know that Luo Feng had no intention of staying at the Domain Lord level.

Luo Feng flew deeper into the Tongtian Bridge until he reached the eleventh level. His opponent on the eleventh level was:
'The man in yellow'.

"Please select your opponent."

"The Controller!"

Decades ago, Luo Feng was defeated by the illusionist in yellow at this level, stopping at the eleventh level.

"We just eliminated one player."

"Now another one has come up with the challenge of the eleven-story sky bridge."

"Huh? Cosmic level?"

"What's going on? Young man, you're quite impressive. You can pass the tenth level with a cosmic-level skill."

“I heard that more than forty years ago,” Luo Feng said coldly. “Prepare to die!”

"Young man, don't underestimate me. What I'm using is the eighth level of the Divine Weapon—'Golden Sword Slices Through the Void'!" The man in yellow remained calm, as the Divine Weapon behind him transformed into countless tiny sword shadows that danced out...

A total of 108 handles.

Each golden sword was formed from 81 strands of golden light.

After the man in yellow gave a loud command, 108 gleaming golden swords quickly began to assemble and coalesce into a giant golden broadsword.

"combine!"

"A golden sword that cleaves the void? Who doesn't have one?"

At this moment, Luo Feng's mental power erupted in full force, his will surged like a torrent, pushing his power to its limit.

Driven by this power, his Divine Weapon appeared out of thin air. Several dense golden lights streaked across the sky like meteors, combining in an extremely ingenious and unpredictable manner.

Almost instantly, the same 'Golden Sword Slashes Through the Void' was formed, and with lightning speed, it pierced towards the gatekeeper dressed in yellow.

"Ok?"

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in the man in yellow. He quickly mobilized his power, trying to use the Divine Weapon to defend against the impending attack. However, in that brief moment...

Two broadswords, gleaming with golden light, clashed fiercely.

Shockingly, his divine weapon, the 'Golden Sword Slicing Through the Void,' couldn't withstand even a single blow under this fierce impact, and its form began to disintegrate.

'boom! '

In a burst of dazzling light.

The golden sword transformed into countless golden specks of light, scattering across the entire Tongtian Bridge like stars.

Immediately afterwards, an unstoppable sword light ripped through the air, streaking across the sky like a meteor.

In the afterglow of that sword light.

The figure of the man in yellow gradually blurred and finally disappeared—the man in yellow was dead!

On the Tongtian Bridge.

"Tsk tsk tsk, swift and clean, a one-hit kill." The guardian Baffin thought to himself, glancing at the primordial secret realm lord 'Baron'.

He said:

"Are you waiting for news of Luo Feng's clearance?"

"Mhm!" Baron nodded and asked, "Lord Guardian, we're both from the Primal Secret Realm, and the number of levels on the Sky Bridge isn't a secret either. Can you tell me?"

"It's alright to tell you, he has already passed the eleventh floor and is heading towards the twelfth floor."

"Huh?" Baron had just lost on the eleventh floor. He really couldn't imagine how a cosmic-level being could pass through the eleventh floor in just a few decades.

"Is this the disciple of the Chaos City Lord?"

"And he cleared the level with ease; it looks like even the twelfth floor won't stop him," Baffin said, while also wondering to himself, "Could this kid really be able to clear the fourteenth floor?"

"No, no, no, I must be overthinking it. Those who reached the thirteenth floor before were basically people who were trapped for a long time at the cosmic level, and they will all become super strong in the future."

"Luo Feng is not even a hundred years old yet."

"Twelve floors is already quite impressive."

"Higher."
