Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 123 Prototype

The Skybridge plane, central island.

The simultaneous appearance of the Chaos City Lord and the Venerable Guiyi caused the guardian Baffin to tremble all over. He had been guarding the Tongtian Bridge for hundreds of millions of years, and this was the first time he had ever seen the Chaos City Lord.

"Lord of the city!" Baffin said in a trembling voice.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled gently and said, "Baffin, you've worked hard guarding the Bridge to Heaven all these years."

These words made Baffin feel like he had taken a super tonic, and he felt like he was floating on air, as if he was about to ascend to heaven. Fortunately, he still had some self-control and forced himself to suppress his excitement, saying, "This is what Baffin should do."

His eyes held a hint of fanaticism.

If we say that on the original Earth, Hong was a deity in the hearts of the people of Earth.

Then, the Chaos City Lord, who controls the Virtual Universe Company and has guarded Chaos City for countless years, is another supreme deity to all members of the Virtual Universe Company!

"Has Luo Shen begun his attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge?" the Chaos City Lord asked.

Baffin was taken aback.

He quickly realized that the Chaos City Lord's trip was naturally for his personal disciple Luo Shen, so he hurriedly waved his hand to summon a light screen and said, "His Highness Luo Shen has just entered the Bridge to Heaven and has only just reached the end of the fourteenth level."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

With his access privileges, he naturally didn't need to come to the Tongtian Bridge to watch the live stream of Luo Shen crossing it.

But I don't know why.

He suddenly felt like moving around today, so he came with Venerable Guiyi.

On the screen.

Luo Shen had a brief conversation with the guardian of the fourteenth floor, and then the two sides clashed in a fierce and intense battle.

"Clang!"

Luo Shen managed to parry the sword that suddenly appeared in front of him with some difficulty, and his entire body retreated thousands of kilometers in an instant, his eyes fixed on the calm and composed gatekeeper.

"As expected, the higher the floor, the more difficult it becomes!"

Luo Shen couldn't help but think to himself, "It's only a difference of one level, and both are traversing the void, but the strength of the guardian on the thirteenth level is on a completely different level compared to the fourteenth level!"

If the thirteenth-level gatekeeper's sword still leaves a trace when traversing the void...

The sword of the fourteenth level guardian was completely devoid of any martial spirit. Although it appeared to be slashing forward, it suddenly changed direction during the slash and rose up from below him.

If it weren't for his strong understanding of the fundamental laws of space, and his thorough comprehension of the essence of the 108 spaces...

Let alone fighting.

He feared that he would have his throat slit by the opponent's bizarre fighting style the moment they clashed, and even so, there was still a faint line of blood on his neck.

The residual spatial energy prevented his wounds from healing for a long time.

"My only advantage is my swordsmanship."

Comparing the strengths of both sides, Luo Shen realized that his chances of winning were slim from any perspective, especially since his opponent's battle blade could freely traverse the void, leaving him with no choice but to passively endure the blows.

In this way, his only advantage was also eliminated.

"To reach the fourteenth level at a cosmic level, your strength is already comparable to those super geniuses in history. Unfortunately, the fourteenth level is different from the thirteenth. You can defeat the guardian of the thirteenth level with your superior swordsmanship, but you cannot defeat me!"

The gatekeeper moved like lightning, appearing suddenly in front of Luo Shen, and with a sudden slash of his sword, as if teleporting.

"You think you've got this in the bag?"

Luo Shen's eyes burned like fire as he keenly sensed every fluctuation in the surrounding space. His Ghostly Blade flashed from its sheath, streaking across the air, and blocked the battle blade that had just emerged from the space.

"Clang!"

They blocked the opponent's attack once again!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, Luo Shen seemed to transform into a three-headed, six-armed being, his Ghostly Blade wielded in a phantom-like manner, protecting himself in the center and rendering every attack by his opponent futile.

however.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it!

A dark shadow moved silently, like a venomous snake, piercing through the fine net of blades, heading straight for Luo Shen's head!

"Um?"

A sudden unease rose in Luo Shen's heart. Although he couldn't quite explain it, he didn't hesitate to move to the right, drawing a ghostly arc.

"laugh!"

The knife that was supposed to pierce Luo Shen's skull only severed his left hand at the shoulder because of Luo Shen's sudden movement.

A successful strike!

The battle blade vanished instantly, disappearing into the void.

"Traversing the void, truly extraordinary!" Luo Shen stared at his vanished left hand, clenching his teeth and fixing his gaze on the black-robed gatekeeper.

If it weren't for his keen senses and quick reaction, he might have already been taken advantage of by the other party.

The loss of his left hand disrupted his balance. Although the impact on him was minimal, at this moment, any slight impact would be magnified infinitely.

"Still not working?"

Luo Shen sighed. He hadn't been able to fully comprehend the fourth picture, so passing the fourteenth level would indeed be very difficult.

However, he's only missing an arm!

He hasn't lost yet!

Whoosh!

Transforming into a streak of light, Luo Shen took the initiative to attack the black-robed gatekeeper. His idol, a commander surnamed Li, once said that even if he was defeated, he would fall on the road of charging forward!

"war!"

The growl seemed to burst from within the throat.

Each strike followed the spatial fluctuations, and combined with the axe light in his mind that combined the profound essence of 108 spaces, Luo Shen unleashed his full power.

They relied on a reckless fighting style.

For a time, Luo Shen actually managed to make the black-robed gatekeeper look rather disheveled.

However, the guardian of the fourteenth level was indeed stronger than that of the thirteenth level. Although he was inferior to Luo Shen in swordsmanship, he managed to prevent Luo Shen from gaining any advantage by relying on his ability to traverse the void.

Furthermore, during a certain offensive-defensive transition, they completely gained control of the battle.

Whether it was the black-robed gatekeeper on the fourteenth floor or the Chaos City Lord outside, they all felt that Luo Shen was powerless to turn the tide, after all, the gap between them was still too obvious.

The black-robed gatekeeper's blade flashed faster with each strike!

The speed is getting faster with each strike!

The flashing swords formed a river, and the silver moon hung upside down, appearing so magnificent against the backdrop of the surrounding firelight.

But Luo Shen's situation became increasingly precarious.

As the gates closed in step by step, Luo Shen's space to dodge became smaller and smaller. He was about to be forced into a corner with nowhere to hide, and in the end, he could only suffer a fatal blow.

"Die!"

The black-robed gatekeeper had already sensed victory.

Take decisive action.

The battle blade in his hand suddenly slashed down, flashing in mid-air. In an instant, it seemed as if the battle blade was coming from all directions, enveloping Luo Shen in the center.

Is there really no hope?

In this critical moment.

A picture suddenly popped into Luo Shen's mind.

It was a giant hand, tightly gripping a battle axe. It swept across the air, assuming a starting stance, just like the scene engraved in the fourth picture. The 108 kinds of spatial essences and mysteries combined with each other in the sea of ​​consciousness. The axe light that was previously combined with the 108 kinds of essences and mysteries seemed to come alive at this moment.

"Yes, that's it! This is the complete fourth axe!"

Luo Shen was overjoyed.

"laugh!"

A fluid motion: draw the sword, take a step, and slash in the light!

Central Island.

The Chaos City Lord and Venerable Guiyi, who were watching the battle, looked slightly surprised. They were about to lose, but they never expected that Luo Shen would have some enlightenment at this moment.

"His strike has already crossed the threshold of a peak secret technique."

The Way of the Venerable Guiyi.

The Chaos City Lord nodded, a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that your junior brother would not only excel in comprehending the laws, but also have such outstanding combat talent. This strike already has the prototype of a peak secret technique."

Top-tier secret techniques are the most frequently used combat techniques by cosmic sages.

Above that lies the ultimate secret technique!

The secret techniques created by cosmic overlords such as Herodo and the One-One Venerable, as well as some newly established cosmic lords, belong to this level. Those who can break through to this level of secret techniques will almost certainly become cosmic overlords once they reach the Venerable level.

On the screen.

Luo Shen did not waste the skill he had just mastered, and actually managed to kill the gatekeeper with his last breath!

*******

I'm going back to my hometown tonight, so updates might be a little less frequent.
