Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 116 One Strike Startles Even Gods and Demons!

The Skybridge plane, in the center of the island.

Luo Feng and the other two watched in silence as Luo Shen unleashed his power. The guardian of the fifth level was almost powerless to resist and was completely suppressed. Then, the battle blade drew a perfect arc, spraying blood everywhere.

"He's far ahead of us now."

"That's incredible!"

"If I really had to face Ah Shen, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to withstand one strike before he killed me. His movement and swordsmanship are so impressive that even if I used my Demon Slayer Clan clone and Golden Horned Beast clone, I would still be no match for him."

I watched it all the way through.

The biggest takeaway for the three of them was that they fully realized the gap between themselves and Luo Shen.

"I'm afraid the sixth floor won't be able to stop him."

Baffin, one of the guardians standing nearby, couldn't help but interject. Seeing that all three of them were looking at him, he explained, "The guardians of the fifth and sixth levels of the Sky Bridge both use the technique of 'spatial cutting.' But judging from how easily Luo Shen suppressed and defeated the guardian of the fifth level just now, the guardian of the sixth level is not capable of stopping him."

After all, Luo Shen already possessed the strength to confidently pass through the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge simply by understanding the profound mysteries of space itself.

Upon hearing this...

The three of them felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on their hearts.

The difference is too big!

They all entered Chaos City together, so why were Luo Shen and Bo Lan already far ahead of them while everyone else was still wandering around the first and second levels?

Is the gap between them really so large that it's impossible to overcome?

Do not!

Rong Jun clenched his fists, a resolute glint in his eyes, and looked at Luo Shen, who was fighting the sixth-level gatekeeper with ethereal movements and blazing sword light, appearing completely relaxed. He said in a deep voice, "Luo Shen and Bo Lan are indeed far ahead of us now, but I will not admit defeat. Ten years, twenty years, a hundred years, a thousand years, one day, I will catch up with them!"

"That's right!"

Even the usually carefree Uka nodded emphatically: "I should go back and work hard!"

Done.

The two of them left the virtual universe in unison.

Luo Feng was left alone, staring intently at the live stream screen at the scene of Luo Shen's fierce battle with the sixth level guardian. He was trying to simulate Luo Shen's attack using his Demon Slayer Clan clone!

"This is the path that the Demon Slayer Clan's avatars should take!"

On the sixth level of the Sky Bridge.

"I'm done playing this game. I've figured out your tricks!"

Luo Shen unleashed his swordsmanship once more, but this time it was not as casual as before. This time, he truly manipulated the surrounding cosmic space, and there was even a faint spatial distortion in front of the blade.

"You think you can defeat me like this? Dream on!"

The guardian of the sixth level gritted his teeth and roared, "If you want to kill me, then die with me!!"

They completely abandoned defense.

It was a fight to the death, with blades flashing and countless figures merging into one, unleashing a single, supremely powerful strike, demonstrating the unparalleled skill in cutting through space.

The nine artistic conceptions contained in the first picture, "Raindrop Picture," have been completely exhausted in this one stroke.

If it were anyone else, like Bolan, they might not have been able to withstand that blow. However, he was facing Luo Shen, a super genius who had thoroughly comprehended the thirty-six essential mysteries!

Luo Shen remained calm in the face of the blow.

The two sword lights clashed in mid-air, and one of them instantly turned to dust, leaving only the gatekeeper's sword to penetrate deep into the enemy's defenses.

however.

There was no joy on his face.

"Whoosh!" Luo Shen's figure instantly traversed a distance of tens of meters, leaving several mesmerizing phantoms on a curve, while a flash of sword light appeared at the same time.

Puff!

It was as if a chef's knife was precisely slicing through the fish.

The incomparably sharp Ghost Blade directly connected to the outer space. As soon as it passed by the gatekeeper at an unexpected angle, it pierced his chest, and the force burst out, instantly severing his heart meridian.

One turn.

At the same time, speed bursts forth instantly, with a single step.

That terrifying strike reappeared, the battle blade gleaming in mid-air, its edge twisting with space, as if space itself were about to be cleaved apart by this single blow.

The next second, his head flew high into the air!

Level 6, cleared!

To be honest, passing the first six levels was not difficult for Luo Shen at all.

After all, given his understanding of the laws and his research into the profound mysteries of space, he only began to feel a little troubled on the seventh level.

The seventh level of the Sky Bridge.

It is in the boundless starry sky, with the bridge extending directly into the starry sky.

At the end of the seventh-level sky bridge, a small meteorite several kilometers in diameter was suspended. Luo Shen flew all the way and finally landed on the bridge, quietly watching the meteorite suspended in front of him.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat them to advance to the seventh level!"

A hoarse sound came from the meteorite.

"A martial artist!" Luo Shen said.

Snapped!

A piece of rock broke off from the edge of the meteorite and crashed onto the bridge. As it rolled across the bridge, it transformed into a warrior wearing blue armor, a silver mask, and carrying a sword.

"You've reached the seventh level at the ninth rank of the cosmic level? Your future is limitless!"

The man in blue had a somewhat aged voice.

Luo Shen nodded somewhat noncommittally and said, "Could you gatekeepers change your lines a little? You're not tired of hearing them, but I'm tired of them. Every gatekeeper says almost the same thing."

"Cough cough~"

The man in blue coughed somewhat awkwardly.

They obviously didn't expect Luo Shen to say such things, but they couldn't be blamed for it, since this was the dialogue script arranged for them by the virtual universe system.

"Enough with the chit-chat, let's get started!"

The blue-clad man was instantly enveloped by wisps of earthy-yellow energy, completely covering the surrounding space for thousands of meters. With the combination of the two fundamental laws of earth and space, the surrounding world began to change.

"boom!"

Carrying a terrifying spatial pressure, it suddenly charged towards Luo Shen; this was the specialty of the guardian of the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Spatial oppression!

If we were to convert this to the Divine Weapon, this move would be on the same level as the sixth level of the Divine Weapon, 'Sword World'. The only difference is that, unlike the Divine Weapon, it cannot freely condense sword energy within the Sword World to launch an attack.

However, for ordinary martial artists, it is extremely difficult to use movement techniques under such terrifying pressure.

If we compare space to seawater...

Luo Shen is like a fish swimming freely in the sea.

Under normal circumstances, fish swim freely in the seawater without any restraint or influence. However, under the spatial pressure of the other party, the seawater that was originally meant to help them will freeze into ice in an instant.

Instead of helping Luo Shen's movements, it would restrict his actions.

This is the essence of spatial oppression.

However, facing the imposing aura of the blue-clad man, Luo Shen not only did not retreat, but instead took up his battle sword and went straight to meet him.

"Hmph, arrogant!"

The man in blue gave a low snort, and with the enhancement of his domain, his speed increased instead of decreasing!

boom!!

Luo Shen held the battle sword, following the graceful arc of the spatial fluctuations. The moment he swung the sword, he directly triggered the surrounding spatial pressure, chasing the fleeting light that bloomed from the spatial fluctuations in the darkness.

Swift as a flash of light!

This strike was filled with ferocity and imposing aura, with a red glow emanating from the edge of the blade!

"Clang!!"

The two swords clashed violently, and the terrifying power contained within them sent the blue-clad man flying backward, his body tumbling through the air in a sorry state.

"How is that possible!"

Barely managing to dissipate that terrifying force, the man in blue looked at Luo Shen with an ugly expression.

Clearly, the timing and location were on his side. Luo Shen had simply swung his knife, yet how could such a seemingly harmless strike contain such terrifying power?

"Your strike, though powerful, was ultimately superficial."

Luo Shen's indifferent voice rang out.

But the man in blue was still not convinced and once again exerted his domain pressure, communicating with the universe to unleash that terrifying slash. Just in terms of the "Drizzle Painting", this slash had exhausted the thirty-six kinds of artistic conception changes.

A glint flashed in Luo Shen's eyes, and a faint smile played on his lips: "Interesting, but not enough!"

Raise a fire to burn the sky!

He raised his sword high, his eyes shining like stars, and the profound mystery of the thirty-seven spatial essences that he had comprehended appeared in his mind, combined with the inspiration he had received while comprehending the Chaos Stele earlier—'Dual Heaven of Ice and Fire'!

Water spirit clone and fire spirit clone.

These are Luo Shen's only two clones. As energy beings, they are both favored by the laws of each other. Once they reach the level of World Lord, they will be able to completely control this law and become immortal.

The laws of water and fire are the two laws that Luo Shen has come to understand most deeply at this time.

The two most profound laws, combined with everything currently learned, have created a terrifying secret technique. Its profound implications are likely comparable to those of a typical Immortal-level secret technique.

A dazzling light suddenly rose up!

The blue-clad man flung his sword far away, and the disbelief in his eyes eventually faded, plunging him into complete darkness.

Seventh level of the Sky Bridge, pass!

*************

I have some things to do today, so this is the only update. I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Sorry.
