Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Bloody Battle on Tongtian Bridge

{Thank you for the first Patreon member on becoming a Patreon supporter I really appreciate it}

Inside a G-grade spaceship, at the Virtual Universe Company's universal headquarters.

In the spacious hall, Venerable Gu Lun sat on his throne, with an Immortal standing not far in front of him.

The Immortal respectfully said, "Venerable, the latest news regarding the Tongtian Bridge challenge has arrived."

Venerable Gu Lun nodded slightly, "Speak."

"In this Pinnacle Genius Battle, a total of five individuals have passed the Tongtian Bridge's third level and above. Among them, Manle and Nuno passed the third level, Eighteen passed the fourth level, Ender passed the fifth level, and Kedi passed the seventh level."

"Hmm?" Venerable Gu Lun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Kedi and Ender haven't gone to challenge the Tongtian Bridge yet?"

"Yes." Hearing this, the Immortal paused, then replied, "Since challenging the Tongtian Bridge in their tenth year in Primal Chaos City, Kedi and Ender have not challenged the Tongtian Bridge again."

Venerable Gu Lun shook his head slightly and said, "These two little guys are really not in a hurry."

Primal Chaos City, Ender's residence.

On the rooftop, there were two Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clones, observing the externalized Laws of the Beginning Universe and simultaneously comprehending the Space Origin Law.

Whoosh!

Ender sprinted up the stairs, arriving at the rooftop in the blink of an eye, then collected the two Clones into his world ring.

"Thirty years in Primal Chaos City are about to pass. Now, even the spaceship for our group of young people should be on its way."

He looked up at the externalized Laws of the Beginning Universe, naturally feeling reluctant, because it would not be easy to reside in Primal Chaos City for a long time in the future; obtaining permanent residency required passing the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"In the twenty years after passing the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge, my Law comprehension has progressed very well."

Ender thought to himself, "Although I don't have enough points to exchange for the third volume of 'Divine Tree True Solution,' with Seventh Senior Brother's guidance on Cultivating the second volume of 'Time Space Scribbles,' my Law comprehension progress isn't much worse."

Compared to the third volume of "Divine Tree True Solution," which required a whopping 100,000 exchange points, the second volume of "Time Space Scribbles" only required 10,000 exchange points, a full ten times difference.

"Since the time is almost up, it's time to go challenge the Tongtian Bridge."

Ender sat down cross-legged, his consciousness entering the Virtual Universe.

Virtual Universe, Tongtian Bridge Plane.

Swish!

A flash of white light, and Ender arrived at the plaza in the center of the island.

"Ender!" Guardian Bevin's eyes lit up. "This little guy, who can hold his calm so well, is finally willing to come challenge the Tongtian Bridge."

Ender came before Guardian Bevin and bowed, saying, "Guardian Bevin, sir."

"Ender, you're here to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, aren't you?" Guardian Bevin said, "There's no one on the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge right now, you can go straight in."

"Alright." Ender nodded, then entered the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge.

Seeing Ender enter the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge, Guardian Bevin began sending out mass emails, thinking to himself, "One Kedi, one Ender. Both are being watched by many important figures. It's said these important figures are even betting on whose future achievements will be higher."

Swish!

Another flash of white light, and Kedi, in blue hair and white clothes, appeared on the island plaza.

"Hmm!" Guardian Bevin's eyes widened slightly. "Kedi is also here to challenge the Tongtian Bridge!"

Beginning Universe, inside the hall of a fish-shaped G-grade spaceship.

Due to the presence of Venerable Gu Lun, the entire hall was silent. More than ten Immortals, radiating powerful auras, dared not make a sound.

"Venerable."

Suddenly, the Immortal standing beside Venerable Gu Lun spoke, "I just received an email from the Guardian; Ender and Kedi have just entered the Tongtian Bridge."

"Oh?" Venerable Gu Lun opened his eyes and smiled, "They two have finally gone to challenge the Tongtian Bridge. Let's go watch."

The next moment, the two entered the Virtual Universe and arrived at a palace on the mountainside of the Thunder Island Central Mountains.

Swish!

Two massive light screens appeared, displaying live broadcasts of Ender and Kedi challenging the Tongtian Bridge.

Venerable Gu Lun was a Universe Venerable, and the authority he possessed was naturally incomparable to that of an Immortal. He could watch live broadcasts of others challenging the Tongtian Bridge without entering the Tongtian Bridge Plane himself.

Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge, Sixth Level.

A voice came from the whirlwind at the end of the sixth level, "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Choose one, defeat them, and you can enter the sixth level."

Ender said without hesitation, "Warrior."

As his voice fell, a silver-clad figure swiftly flew out of the whirlwind. His hands wore fifth-tier claw-type Force Weaponss, Devil Shadow Claws, and each of his arms had an arm shield with a diameter of twenty centimeters.

"You're here again." The silver-clad figure said indifferently, "I wonder how much you've improved in the past twenty years. Don't let your secret techniques be as poor as ever."

Ender narrowed his eyes, "You'll know if you try."

Whoosh!

Ender moved, his figure flickering in the air like a black lightning bolt, streaking across the sky!

"Insignificant trick!"

The silver-clad figure sneered, his form flashing as he lunged directly at a black figure, then slammed his palm downwards, and a massive claw shadow burst forth!

Boom!

The immense power contained within that giant claw shadow was extremely strong. With a single strike, it directly shattered the black figure, like a broken bubble!

"What?!"

Having struck successfully, the silver-clad figure felt no joy; instead, his eyes showed shock, "How did he dodge it?!"

"Too slow!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the silver-clad figure—it was Ender's voice.

Pfft!

At the same time, the sound of flesh being pierced rang out. The silver-clad figure's body was pierced by a black hand claw, and blood splattered!

The next moment, the dead silver-clad figure transformed into a breeze and returned to the whirlwind. The whirlwind also dissipated as the breeze returned, revealing the bridge surface behind it.

Whoosh!

Ender's figure flashed, flying along the bridge surface of the Tongtian Bridge's seventh level. At this moment, the Tongtian Bridge was no longer a fierce wind, but an endless starry sky!

Soon, he reached the end of the seventh level, where a small meteorite, several kilometers in diameter, floated.

"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Choose one, and you can pass the seventh level." The meteorite emitted a voice.

"Warrior." Ender said.

As his voice fell, a piece of rock broke off the meteorite and transformed into a blue-clad figure with a mask, wearing blue claw-type weapons and arm shields.

"Young man at Universe Level First Order, it's quite impressive that you've made it this far." The blue-clad figure's voice was somewhat aged.

Facing the compliment, Ender nodded slightly, "Hmm."

"I very much hope you can pass, but my strength far exceeds that of the sixth level's guardian." The blue-clad figure said with a hint of regret, "It will be very difficult for you to defeat me."

"Is that so?" A smile appeared on Ender's face, "My goal is the eighth level, and you can't stop me!"

"I hope so." The blue-clad figure's aged voice held a hint of amusement.

Suddenly, a meteorite flew by, obscuring the figures of the two in confrontation.

Clang!

The moment the meteorite flew past, the two had already transformed into two lightning bolts, engaging in combat!

Clang, clang, clang…

Because both of them primarily used close-range agile movement techniques and wielded claw-type weapons, their combat speed was extremely fast.

Extinction One!

Ender unleashed the first move from "Fivefold Extinction Claw," a claw shadow that seemed capable of tearing even space, instantly enveloping the blue-clad figure.

"Not good!" This claw came too suddenly. The blue-clad figure couldn't dodge and could only use the arm shields on his arms to block, attempting to fend off this fierce strike!

Clang!

The blue-clad figure blocked it, but the immense power contained within that strike directly sent him flying.

Extinction Two!

Ender's figure was like a black lightning bolt, closely pursuing the blue-clad figure without letting go, while simultaneously unleashing the second move of "Fivefold Extinction Claw." An invisible yet intuitively perceivable claw shadow emerged.

This claw seemed to annihilate space. Wherever it passed, space seemed to retreat, yet only a black, sharp hand claw sliced through.

Facing this attack, which was invisible yet its terrifying power could be intuitively felt, the blue-clad figure's eyes showed despair. He once again reached out to block, fully activating the Law secret patterns on his arm shields.

Boom!

Ender's black, sharp hand claw slammed heavily onto the blue-clad figure's blocking arm shield. The Gene Energy light shattered, and Space Law fluctuations vibrated!

Crack!

Although the blue-clad figure blocked this strike, the immense power caused his arm to break. The residual force carried his arm into his chest, causing his chest to indent slightly, and he spat out blood!

Extinction One!

Ender's figure flashed, having already pursued the blue-clad figure. With a wave of his hand, he created five claw marks, and a massive black claw shadow emerged, slamming downwards onto his head.

Bang!

His head shattered, and the blue-clad figure instantly died!

After the blue-clad figure died, he transformed into a stone, returning to the meteorite as if time flowed backward, making the meteorite as good as new.

And with the return of the stone, the meteorite also vanished without a trace, revealing the bridge surface in the starry sky behind it.

"The seventh level is passed." Ender thought to himself, "Now to see if I can pass the eighth level."

Tongtian Bridge Plane, Island Plaza.

The young people who arrived after receiving the email were numb with shock as they saw Ender pass the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge on the light screen!

Because there were two massive light screens in the plaza: one showed Ender's figure, and the other showed Kedi's figure.

Ender had passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, while Kedi, having entered the Tongtian Bridge later, had only passed the eighth level.

But even so, the levels of the Tongtian Bridge that both of them could pass were levels that these young people could only look up to!

Watching the live broadcast of Ender and Kedi challenging the Tongtian Bridge, Immortals, each radiating a powerful aura, discussed among themselves.

"It's truly exaggerated, these two little guys are stronger than the last!"

"Back when I was in Primal Chaos City for thirty years, I only managed to reach the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge!"

"Indeed! These two little guys have such great talent; one passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, and the other passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge!"

"This session has produced two peerless Geniuses. I'm afraid the next Pinnacle Genius Battle's standard will be much lower."

"With this session preceding it, if the next session doesn't produce a Genius that appears only once every thousand eras, people will definitely feel the standard is lacking."

These Immortals discussed, but their eyes never left the two light screens, because they could tell that both of them could still challenge higher levels of the Tongtian Bridge.

Tongtian Bridge, Eighth Level.

The meteorite, several kilometers in diameter, at the end of the bridge surface emitted a voice, "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist…"

Ender said, "Warrior."

A piece of rock broke off the meteorite and transformed into a blue-clad figure, who said in a slightly aged voice, "Very good, for a Universe Level First Order to reach the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, you already have the capital to be proud."

Ender smiled, "Heh, thank you for the compliment."

"Are you ready?" The blue-clad figure asked.

Ender didn't speak, only nodded lightly.

Whoosh!

The blue-clad figure launched the first attack, his figure flickering, with multiple figures appearing wherever he passed, rushing directly towards Ender.

As Ender's body moved, several real figures appeared, making it impossible to discern which was the true body.

Clang!

The figures on both sides collided and dissipated like bubbles, then the true bodies engaged, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Extinction One!

Ender pressed down with his hand, and a massive black claw shadow emerged. Five arc-like claw marks covered all of the blue-clad figure's forms, like a giant beast swinging its claw downwards.

Wham!

The claw shadow slammed onto the Tongtian Bridge's surface, clearing all of the blue-clad figure's forms. Only his true body dodged this strike.

However, the blue-clad figure had already approached Ender and also used a secret technique to attack.

Swish, swish…

Dozens of claw shadows appeared in succession, seemingly covering the sky and earth, directly enveloping Ender, who had split into several figures.

Wham!

Ender's real figures, which he had split into, were submerged by the sky-covering claw shadows, while his true body, relying on the second level of "Instant Shadow Illusion Body," dodged the blue-clad figure's attack.

"Good movement technique."

The blue-clad figure praised, his figure turning back to pursue Ender, who had already evaded.

Extinction One!

As if sensing something, Ender flipped and swung a claw, five arc-like claw marks sweeping horizontally towards the blue-clad figure.

The blue-clad figure had no escape. With one hand, he swung a claw, using an attack to offset and reduce the power of the incoming claw shadow. With his other hand, he blocked in front of him, fully activating the secret patterns on his arm shield.

Buzz!

The arm shield, fully activated with secret patterns, instantly doubled in size, covering more than half of his body.

"Now's the time!"

Ender, who had been dodging just moments ago, had now caught up with that claw shadow and arrived in front of the blue-clad figure.

Extinction Two!

Ender extended a single hand, delivering a strike that seemed to annihilate space, an illusory imprint on the blue-clad figure's arm shield.

Boom!

The blue-clad figure retreated violently. Although he blocked this sudden strike, his arm made a "creaking" sound as he blocked, already fractured!

Extinction Two!

Ender was incredibly fast, catching up to the retreating blue-clad figure. He extended another hand, his hand claw imbued with terrifying power, intending to strike his body with this blow.

"Impossible!"

The blue-clad figure was experienced in combat and reacted extremely quickly, using his fractured hand to unleash a secret technique, directly confronting the attack.

Bang!

In the powerful explosion that resulted from their clash, the blue-clad figure's already fractured arm was shattered to pieces in the blast.

Crack!

Ender's left arm broke, becoming a bloody mess in the powerful collision, making it difficult to use it further.

With his left arm severely injured, he gritted his teeth and advanced again, using his intact right hand to activate the arm shield's secret patterns to block in front of him, while simultaneously grasping his left arm to stabilize it.

Extinction Two!

Power that seemed to annihilate space emerged. Ender used his bloody left hand to once again unleash Extinction Two!

"Hmm!"

The blue-clad figure was surprised, seemingly not expecting Ender to be able to do this. He could only use the arm shield on his intact arm to block. After fully activating the secret patterns, the arm shield covered most of his body.

Boom!

Flesh, blood, and shattered bones splattered. Ender's left arm was pulverized, and the blue-clad figure's blocking arm also fractured with a "creaking" sound.

"A weakness!"

Ender's heart tightened. His intact right hand had already extended, using the last of his Gene Energy to unleash the final Extinction Two!
