Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 81 The True Essence of the Frozen Chaos Monument!

call out!

The almost ethereal space shuttle shot towards Shen Mu, seemingly slow, but appearing in front of Shen Mu in an instant.

hold head high!

The dragon's roar echoed, and the originally illusory water dragon suddenly shrank a hundredfold, becoming incredibly solid. Its scales were clearly visible, and the laws of water and space were tightly intertwined, with a strange fluctuation flowing around it.

boom!

The water dragon extended its claw and forcefully blocked the seemingly unstoppable spatial shuttle, causing intense fluctuations of law to reverberate throughout the Tongtian Bridge plane.

"How is this possible? Break it!"

The silver-armored warrior's expression changed slightly. He manipulated the space shuttle, transforming it into a phantom blue divine light, and pierced towards the Azure Ice Dragon controlled by Shen Mu.

With a deafening roar, the scales on the surface of the Azure Ice Dragon shattered at the point of attack, turning into countless tiny ice needles.

Immediately following, the space shuttle shot out hundreds of times at an incredible speed, leaving the Azure Ice Dragon covered in wounds, with faint blue threads appearing on its body, making it appear somewhat illusory.

"The fifth level is actually the ultimate in attack and speed!"

Even with the peak of the fourth level of the Frost God Weapon and a hundred times the amplitude of his consciousness, Shen Mu's Frost God Weapon was suppressed by the Space Shuttle for a short time and could collapse at any moment.

The silver-clad figure in the distance looked down at Shen Mu with a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "It's already quite remarkable that you've made it this far on your first attempt at crossing the Tongtian Bridge. You should go back and practice some more."

call out!

The nearly transparent shuttle once again streaked across the sky, as if piercing the surface of water, creating violent ripples in the void.

Shen Mu's expression turned solemn, and the clear light in his eyes intensified.

"Gather!"

The nearly collapsed Azure Ice Dragon solidified again, and an extremely cold aura surged out, forming countless icy mists that filled the entire plane.

The transparent shuttle transformed into a long dragon, leaving behind blurry afterimages, and once again pierced towards Shen Mu.

hold head high!

The Azure Ice Dragon hovered in mid-air, transforming into countless dragon shadows, once again blocking the transparent shuttle.

boom!

With a sweep of its tail, terrifying power erupted, and with a clang, it actually smashed the space shuttle away.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The space was filled with streaks of dragon tails, and the Azure Ice Dragon seemed to be swimming in the sea, blocking the attacks of the Space Shuttle time and time again with an eerie and extremely fast speed.

Moreover, with each collision, the Azure Ice Dragon can almost instantly reassemble the scattered parts.

"Impossible! Even with a hundred times the amplitude of consciousness, it shouldn't be this strong!"

The silver-armored general looked at Shen Mu with some shock. How could the fourth level of the Frost God Weapon withstand the attack of the fifth level?

It is important to know that the difference between the nine levels of divine weapons is greater as you progress. In fact, by the eighth or ninth level, each level can be divided into multiple stages, and the difference in power between each stage is like heaven and earth.

Moreover, the silver-armored man was also able to confirm that Shen Mu's understanding of the Frozen Chaos Stele was not as profound as his.

Shen Mu had thoroughly grasped the spatial mysteries of the first picture, but he only had a basic understanding of the laws of water, barely passing the test.

Just then, a clear light suddenly shone in Shen Mu's eyes!

Countless ethereal mental energies frantically condensed in Shen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into countless incomparably sharp mental energy swords.

The first level of the Soul Imprint Secret Technique: Myriad Swords Soul Imprint!

It might be hard to believe, but Shen Mu's strongest attack method right now is not a master of manipulation, but an illusionist's.

It is the purest soul attack under a hundredfold increase in consciousness amplitude!

call out!

Countless illusory psychic swords burst forth, instantly engulfing the silver-armored warrior and piercing into his sea of ​​consciousness!

boom!

At this moment, the space shuttle, which had been subtly suppressing Shen Mu, became unstable. As it was once again knocked away by Shen Mu, strands of blue threads began to appear on it, indicating that it was not solid enough.

"Now!"

hold head high!

The aura emanating from the Azure Ice Dragon suddenly surged to a new level, and the fluctuations of the Water Law and the Space Law began to resonate at this moment, causing its power to increase several times in an instant!

boom!

The enormous dragon tail, carrying terrifying power, slammed down, causing the entire fifth level of the Sky Bridge to tremble.

The unstable spatial shuttle was shattered by Shen Mu, completely collapsing. The silver-armored warrior, who was in a daze, was also completely crushed into mincemeat by this attack!

The intense fluctuations of the laws, along with the endless ice mist, began to slowly dissipate, and all the commotion completely subsided.

In the pale mist, Shen Mu's hazy figure gradually became clear as the mist dissipated.

Fifth floor, cleared!

……

The Skybridge plane, central island.

"Hahaha, as expected of my junior brother!"

King Optimus Prime was delighted and looked at King Silver Moon, King Black Mist, and the others beside him, saying, "You all have to honor your bets. The debts I owe you are now wiped clean!"

Silver Moon King withdrew his admiring gaze from the screen and said to Sky King, "Alright, alright, it's just a few hundred million Chaos Units, let's skip it."

Black Mist King and other creditors of Optimus Prime nodded in agreement, since Optimus Prime didn't owe them much anyway.

Unlike his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, King Qingtian owes a little to every friend he has. For a king-level expert, each of them has a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

So even though Optimus Prime had a lot of debt, nobody was pressuring him for money, and he was doing much better than his teacher.

Dozens of immortal gods looked at the white-robed youth on the screen, some praising him, while others were shocked.

Those who were shocked were all powerful immortals and grandmasters of the Frozen School.

For a genius of Shen Mu's caliber, even if he creates some miracles, it is within the reasonable range. These immortal powerhouses will be mentally prepared and will not be too shocked.

However, what shocked these powerful immortals of the Frozen School was not Shen Mu passing through the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but rather the mysteries revealed during Shen Mu's final strike.

"Longyu..."

The Frost Serpent King's voice was somewhat hoarse: "This little fellow seems to have grasped the essence of the first image of the Chaos Stele!"

The most crucial element of the "Nine Streams Map" on the Frozen Chaos Stele is not the mystery of the laws of water and space, but the resonance between water and space—a unique combination of these two laws.

The resonance between water and space in this "Nine Streams Painting" is not particularly profound, but it is quite unique.

Without a sufficiently profound understanding of the two fundamental laws of water and space, one should not be able to perceive the resonance of these laws at all.

Among the several masters and king-level experts of the Frozen School present.

Even the strongest Jade King, only after reaching the Realm Lord level and comprehending the two laws to a certain degree, could perceive the resonance of these laws and discover the true essence hidden within the Frozen Chaos Stele.

The combination and fusion of laws have little to do with talent, since the mysteries of those laws have already been comprehended. What's important is how to combine and comprehend them to perceive and unleash that divine resonance.

This feeling is similar to creating secret techniques, but it places more emphasis on comprehension.

"He's only... cosmic level!"

An expression of disbelief appeared on the exquisite face of the Jade King.

At this moment, Shen Mu had already stepped onto the sixth level of the Sky Bridge.

Although the guardian of the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge was only using the fifth level of the Frost God Weapon, its power was several times greater than that of the fifth level.

In just a few rounds, Shen Mu's figure was annihilated by the almost invisible spatial shuttle.

On the central island, dozens of immortal figures began to depart.

"This little guy failed after all. The fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven was already astonishing enough. If he had made it past the sixth level, even the great beings of our human race would have taken notice of him."

"Incredible! Congratulations on the emergence of another peerless genius for our human race!"

Optimus Prime was also very happy: "Junior Brother's communication line should be busy right now. We need to inform the teacher of this good news first."

After saying this, King Qingtian and his fellow disciples disappeared from the spot.

As Longyu Wang listened to the discussions of other immortal schools, he pursed his lips slightly.

You think you can only gain the attention of a great being by passing the sixth level? You don't understand the true essence of the Frozen Style at all.

The next instant, the figure of the Jade King disappeared from the spot, as he was about to report the news to the Nine Swords Venerable.

……

Virtual universe, primeval area, within Berlan's manor.

In the training ground, Berlan stared in disbelief at the emails in the virtual universe.

"The gap is actually widening."

Back in the Genius Battle, Shen Mu only defeated him by virtue of his advantage in applying the laws. Now, however, he has completely surpassed him in just three short years.

Berlan closed his eyes in pain.

"I gave up cultivating with you across time and space, all so I could surpass you... all so I could surpass you again!"

Bolan clenched his fists tightly, then suddenly his expression froze as he recalled a sentence that the genius Shen Mu had once told him.

"Those I surpass are never considered my rivals..."

Meanwhile, in Chaos City.

In a corner of the ancient city, on the rooftop of a secluded cultivation dwelling, Luo Feng held a long sword and was practicing the "Blood Flowing" sword technique, verifying his understanding of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele and "Time and Space Notes".

Suddenly, Babata's shocked voice rang in Luo Feng's ears.

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng, Virtual Universe Company sent an email: Shen Mu has just passed the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

Luo Feng was taken aback. He was no longer the ignorant boy he once was, and he fully understood what the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge represented.

"Did my senior brother really pass the fifth level?"

Babata confirmed, "Absolutely right, this email was sent personally by Baffin, the guardian of the Skybridge."

Luo Feng looked somewhat shocked, then suddenly laughed.

"As expected, it has to be my senior brother!"

Seeing Luo Feng suddenly laugh, Babata asked with some concern, "Luo Feng, are you alright? You weren't upset, were you?"

Luo Feng shook his head slightly: "How could that be? We've gotten used to it over the years. Besides, the stronger Senior Brother becomes, the brighter our future will be."

At the heart of this ancient city, deep within the City Lord's Mansion, lies the Chaotic Ruins world.

The Chaos City Lord, clad in a red battle robe, gazed across time and space, landing on a cultivation residence near the City Lord's Mansion.

Having just exited the virtual world, Shen Mu immediately blocked all emails and communications from strangers, and then began to sort out his gains from this trip across the Sky Bridge.

"This little guy is really calm."

An expression of admiration appeared in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord: "A powerful secret technique for plundering talent, a cosmic-level comprehension of the resonance of laws... and this calm and composed temperament."

After noticing the strangeness about Shen Mu, the Lord of Chaos City observed Shen Mu for two days.

Then, he witnessed firsthand the process of Shen Mu's Azure Dragon clone analyzing and solidifying the 'Spirit Parasitic Demon Insect' talent secret technique. Even the Chaos City Lord was somewhat shocked at the time, as such a heaven-defying secret technique could actually be conceived in the primordial universe.

After the Lord of Chaos withdrew his gaze, his consciousness traversed endless light-years and two universes.

……

At this moment, Shen Mu, the person involved, was on the phone with his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"Disciple, whether it is the law of water or the law of space, I can guide you if you encounter any doubts. However, the true essence of this Frozen Chaos Stele is the fusion of laws, which I have never explored."

On the other side of the screen was the initial image of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, an eight-meter-tall giant with scales that resembled humans in appearance, but with strange scales on his forehead, similar to dragon scales.

Shen Mu said respectfully, "Teacher has given me more than enough help. I believe that with my own efforts, I will surely be able to embark on the path of fusing with the laws."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom couldn't help but laugh and said, "Foolish! With such talent, you can find the true path to heaven at the cosmic level. I wonder how many people want to get involved with you."

Shen Mu has only just begun to grasp the commonalities between the two laws of water and space, and has figured out how the two laws are combined and applied in the first picture.

He's still far from truly grasping the principles of fusion, not even having scratched the surface, but this is already quite incredible. After all, Shen Mu reached this point without any guidance.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had a slightly serious expression on his face. He said, "Just now, Jiujian contacted me. He heard that you haven't been able to find a mentor for the Primitive Region yet, and he's considering having Longyu King as your mentor."

"The Jade King?"

Shen Mu was slightly surprised. Generally speaking, members of the Primal Secret Realm would be equipped with an Immortal-level Guardian Commander and an Immortal-level Instructor.

This kind of mentor is somewhat similar to the relationship between Shen Mu and Han Tian of the Qianwu Secret Realm. It is not a true master-disciple relationship, but simply a student and teacher relationship.

Therefore, being a mentor is a thankless task. Most members of the original area are only mentored by immortals at the Marquis level, and only a very few with exceptional talent will be noticed by king-level immortals.

As for Longyu Wang, whose status is barely comparable to that of a newly initiated Venerable, he would never stoop to being a mentor and has never been heard of.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "If Senior Longyu King is willing to give me guidance, it would be my honor."

Seeing Shen Mu agree, Venerable Qianwu smiled and said, "Alright, I will reply to Venerable Jiujian right away. This Longyu King is the strongest Immortal of the Icebound School of the Virtual Universe Company, and has the potential to surpass Immortal. You must treat him with utmost respect."

"Teacher, rest assured, your disciple will certainly remain respectful to Senior Longyu King."

……

The next morning.

Virtual Universe, Primitive Zone, entrance to Manor No. 114.

Shen Mu, together with the immortal god Yu Lun and all the guards and servants in the manor, gathered at the entrance.

"Your Highness, you've arrived!"

In the distance, a streak of emerald light flashed across the sky and then swiftly landed in front of Shen Mu and the others.

A stunningly beautiful woman with flowing purple hair, dressed in azure armor, appeared before Shen Mu. It was none other than the Jade King.

Shen Mu bowed slightly and said, "Shen Mu greets Teacher Longyu."

This was the first time Shen Mu had seen the Jade King. He was like a jade sculpture, with a clear and beautiful appearance, giving people the illusion that he did not exist in this time and space.
