Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 119 The World Tree and the Undead Banyan
The nineteenth level of the Sky Bridge.

The dazzling accretion disk roared and spun at an extremely fast speed, devouring the surrounding stars, and spacetime was distorted under the gravitational effect.

"Shh!"

A streak of light flashed, and Yu Duan's figure appeared on the accretion disk.

The immense gravity here is merely a simulated background, so even if you stand here, you won't feel anything.

"Please choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist!"

The enormous accretion disk, billions of kilometers in diameter, vibrated, emitting a deafening sound.

"I choose the illusionist."

Yu Duan's voice was calm. As he finished speaking, countless luminous substances detached from the accretion disk and condensed into a figure wearing a black battle robe and mask, carrying a special telekinetic weapon.

Although Yu Duan's opponent is an illusionist, he still possesses telekinetic weapons.

While the telekinetic weapons of a Soul Master are slightly inferior to those of a Psychic Master in terms of physical attack, they generally contain special illusionary effects, making them more valuable.

Yu Duan's opponent, the gatekeeper of this level, possesses a psychic weapon that is a magic mirror composed of countless crystals.

"It is my honor to fight against Your Highness, who is at the Realm Lord level. Is Your Highness ready?"

The gatekeeper's posture was elegant and noble; he appeared to be asking a question, but in reality, the battle had already begun.

A deep and distant demonic sound rippled outwards, not merely a simple demonic illusion, but also an invisible blade formed from the power of countless illusory worlds, directly piercing towards Yu Duan.

Yu Duan could ignore his illusions, but he needed to defend against the ethereal soul attack.

"boom!"

Within Yu Duan's spiritual realm, countless soul blades exploded, producing a series of booming sounds.

A pyramid-like triangular prism emerged, formed from the power of the ethereal world, its entire body radiating a faint white-gold glow.

The next moment, the innate secret technique enhancement and the soul secret technique taught by Master Qinghuan Wang were unleashed, and the soul pyramid instantly collapsed and condensed 16 times.

On this soul pyramid, countless complex and mysterious patterns of time and light laws intertwine, exuding an aura of 'eternity and indestructibility'.

"Bang, bang..."

Countless spiritual blades struck Yu Duan's pyramid defenses, instantly shattering and annihilating them.

It appears to be the world power at the peak of the realm lord level, but it contains the profound mysteries of the laws at the high level of the king-level, capable of easily annihilating the souls of ordinary immortal gods.

However, it could not shake Yu Duan's soul defense. That solid, dazzling pyramid was like an ultimate celestial body, impossible to budge even slightly.

"Enough with the nonsense, take this sword!"

In an instant, Yu Duan unleashed his secret technique, unleashing billions of indestructible sword energies that raged and transformed into an eternal sword domain.

A hazy yet magnificent nebula spread out along with the sword domain, permeating the entire nineteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"What a powerful sonic illusion technique!"

The gatekeeper turned pale and was greatly alarmed.

What seemed like an ordinary battle shout from Yu Duan transformed into a surging, ferocious tide on a spiritual level.

Like a beast god roaring to the sky, boundless killing intent accompanied by a tidal wave of soul attacks bombarded his soul defenses.

"Buzz!"

Behind the gatekeeper, the crystal magic mirror suddenly trembled.

Then countless crystal rays scattered out, each one a miniature mirror, emitting intense light.

Instantly, a dazzling magical domain of light spread out, and the figure of the gatekeeper was hidden within this blazing light domain.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two vast domains of light crushed each other, like two great worlds colliding.

Thousands of sword lights raged, slicing down countless miniature crystal magic mirrors.

"boom!"

A terrifying explosion erupted, and countless magic mirrors within the crystal light field refracted the light, causing a dazzling star to condense before suddenly exploding.

Countless energy tides erupted, concealing countless Soul-Destroying Needles condensed from the power of the illusory world, which instantly raged in all directions.

"So strong!"

Yu Duan's face paled slightly. The initial soul attack was just a test; now the true level of this gatekeeper was being revealed.

In terms of understanding the laws, Yu Duan has only just escaped the stage of barely passing the eighteenth level, which is only slightly better than some immortals who have barely been crowned kings.

The guardian of this level, however, possessed advanced knowledge of the laws of the highest level, the King-level.

"I can't find his true form... His illusory realm is too exquisite to distinguish between the real and the fake."

Yu Duan could see the figures of the gatekeepers materializing one after another, their auras identical to the real ones.

"Boom!"

In an instant, another enormous star fell, followed by an instant explosion.

Yu Duan's Nebula Sword Domain trembled violently at this moment, and it was on the verge of collapsing.

shhhhhh!
At this moment, countless crystal mirrors simultaneously emitted dazzling rays of light, and stars coalesced.

Immediately following was a shower of stars, instantly shattering spacetime inch by inch, with countless fragments raging outwards, accompanied by invisible Soul-Destroying Needles, almost completely engulfing the entire nineteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

In an instant, Yu Duan's Nebula Light Domain was completely swallowed up, and a figure fell silently onto the bridge.

The nineteenth level of the Sky Bridge failed.

……

"Shh!"

A stream of light appeared, and Yu Duan's figure appeared directly in the center of the Tongtian Bridge Island.

"That was the feeling of soul annihilation just now..." Yu Duan came back to his senses. The effects of this virtual universe were truly amazing, even able to simulate the feeling of soul annihilation.

At this moment, the guardian Bafen hurriedly came over: "Congratulations, Your Highness Yu Duan, on passing the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. You can now establish your own sect and reside in Chaos City forever!"

Baffin's gaze toward Yu Duan had shifted from simple enthusiasm to a hint of respect.

In terms of understanding the laws, Yu Duan has already surpassed this guardian of the Tongtian Bridge.

Once one breaks through to immortality, one immediately becomes a king-level being.

"Senior Baffin is joking. I am far from being able to establish my own school of thought."

Yu Duan responded with a smile, chatted with Baffin for a few words, and then left the virtual universe.

After Yu Duan left, Baffin sighed in shock, "The little guy who was a star level more than two thousand years ago has now become a grandmaster level being... It's too fast."

It took more than two thousand years to cross the eighteen levels of the Tongtian Bridge.

Even if the next nineteenth or twentieth level is difficult, it probably won't take many epochs.

This level of understanding and progress is far, far faster than that of the Fiery Venerable in the Giant Axe Arena more than a thousand epochs ago.

……

"It's time to put creating our own secret techniques on the agenda."

On the rooftop of his cultivation residence, Yu Duan opened his eyes, recalling the battle he had just fought on the nineteenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

The Eternal Sword Domain Secret Technique is a secret technique for activating the Nine Swords Domain Treasure, and can be considered a combat-aiding secret technique.

If I were to learn other secret techniques, not only would it consume too much energy, but I would also be unable to unleash my full potential.

Self-created secret techniques are generally a level more powerful than those of others, which is a difference of several dozen times.

"My clone is about to leave Chaos City. Before leaving, I must pay my respects to my teacher, the Lord of Darkness!"

When Yu Duan last visited his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, he mentioned that before leaving Chaos City, he should go to the courtyard on Thunder Island to search for him.

Virtual universe, Thunder Island plane.

"Shh!"

In the central square of the public area of ​​Thunder Island, Yu Duan's figure suddenly appeared, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

"That's... Yu Duan?"

"How did Yu Duan end up on Thunder Island?"

"Even the disciple of the Lord of the Universe cannot freely roam Thunder Island, can he?"

In a rest area at the edge of the plaza, several immortal deities from the core of the Virtual Universe Corporation were communicating telepathically.

Thunder Island and Rain Mountain are similar.

Different regions were divided according to different strengths.

The edge zone is the dwelling place of ordinary immortals.

The Central District is the residence of those who have been granted the title of Marquis and are immortal.

At the heart of Thunder Island, at the foot of Mount Gods, lies the activity area of ​​countless immortal kings.

Without the corresponding strength, even those disciples of cosmic venerables and immortal kings can only move around within their palaces and cannot wander around freely.

As a disciple of the Lord of Darkness, Yu Duan was previously teleported to the Thunder Island plane and appeared directly in the courtyard and palace of the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Youhou.

"No need to guess anymore. I just received news that Yu Duan has passed the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven."

At this moment, an immortal deity transmitted a message: "Just now, my disciple went to the Tongtian Mountain plane to break through the barrier and personally witnessed the guardian Baffin congratulating Yu Duan on passing the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge."

"According to the rules, once you pass the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, you become a Grandmaster and can build a palace at the foot of Mount Gods."

After passing through the eighteen levels of the Sky Bridge, the changes in permissions within the virtual universe are multifaceted.

For example, information on past genius battles, data and videos of the core geniuses of the five top forces, etc., can all be viewed, as long as they are not kept strictly confidential, which makes it easier for the Immortal King to recruit disciples.

Previously, Yu Duan was comparable to a King of Immortality in status, and also had very high authority within the Virtual Universe Company.

But some privileges are unnecessary for geniuses.

Only after passing through the eighteen levels of the Heavenly Bridge and gaining enlightenment equivalent to being crowned a king, can one grant the authority to instruct disciples.

"Shh!"

Yu Duan's figure transformed into a streak of light, ascending along the Mountain of Gods.

A moment later, they arrived outside the courtyard of the Dark Lord's teacher.

"teacher!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Yu Duan saw the figure of the Lord of Darkness and immediately bowed in respect.

The Lord of Darkness had been waiting for Yu Duan to arrive, and his gaze toward Yu Duan was filled with satisfaction.

"After you break through to the Realm Lord level, you'll be able to create two clones. Do you have any plans for that?"

The Lord of Darkness cut straight to the point, asking Yu Duan for his thoughts on the clone.

Yu Duan hesitated for two seconds, then shook his head.

"Master, I have not yet decided to nurture the remaining two clones."

"Yes, it's good to take your time choosing."

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face: "Regarding the remaining two avatars, as their teacher, I have two recommendations."

"They are the largest special life forms at the World Lord level, namely the World Tree."

"And the strongest life form at the realm lord level in terms of soul attack and defense, the Undead Demon Banyan."
