After his only remaining arm was severely injured and fractured, the man in blue knew things were bad and quickly used his movement technique, attempting to dodge.
Ender had anticipated this, so as his previous attack ended, his intact right hand had already struck out.
Extinction Two!
That strike, which seemed capable of annihilating Space, landed directly on the blue-clothed man's head, and its powerful might instantly obliterated his head!
...
On the Tongtian Bridge Plane, on the island square.
"This young fellow named Ender is quite formidable; he actually managed to pass through that!"
"He is indeed formidable. This young fellow's Law comprehension isn't superior, but he still managed to pass the eighth level."
"To Cultivate as a Warrior for thirty years in Primal Chaos City and still raise his Space Origin Law comprehension to the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge is a Genius that appears only once every hundred thousand epochs. No wonder he was taken as a Disciple by a Universe Venerable!"
"I think this young fellow is decisive enough. Daring to switch to Cultivating as a Warrior for thirty years in Primal Chaos City—I wouldn't have dared to do that back then!"
Watching Ender on the light screen, passing the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge in a hard-won victory, the Immortals discussed amongst themselves.
Manle looked at the light screen and thought, "Ender passed the eighth level."
He turned his head to look at another light screen, on which Kedi had passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"I thought this guy was joking at first," Manle sighed internally. "I didn't expect him to actually turn Kedi's solitary lead into a peerless duo vying for supremacy!"
Every three levels of the Tongtian Bridge were a threshold. Kedi had now passed the ninth level of the Universe Tongtian Bridge. His chances of passing the tenth level were likely not high, and even if he did, it would be difficult to pass the eleventh level.
This was exactly as Ender had said: he wouldn't let Kedi lead by two levels on the Tongtian Bridge!
"The eighth level has been passed!"
On the other side, the Fox Clan woman, Fei, looked at Ender on the light screen with astonishment. She knew his Law talent was very high and had no intention of competing with him anymore.
But seeing him pass the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, with the number of levels he passed being double hers, a huge wave inevitably surged in her heart.
One must know that each level of the Tongtian Bridge was harder to pass than the last, and the gap in Law comprehension between the fourth and eighth levels was not merely double!
...
"Ender passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and Kedi passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge. We're going to be miserable in the future!"
"Who's to say? In the future, when our generation is mentioned, Kedi and Ender will be the first ones brought up. As for us, at most, we'll just serve as background."
"Actually, we can look at the bright side. With the two of them, more people will check our generation's information in the future."
"Uh... that's not exactly a good thing, is it?"
The young people of the same generation were also discussing. They were already numb to Ender and Kedi's Tongtian Bridge achievements. The gap was too large to evoke any negative emotions; it was more about self-mockery.
...
"I won!"
Ender, whose Gene Energy was exhausted, looked at the man in blue turning into a stone and returning to the meteor, thinking, "I've passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge."
The meteor disappeared, and his state returned to Pinnacle. His arm, which had been damaged in the battle, was as good as new, and his Gene Energy had also recovered.
"Only the last two levels remain to pass the tenth level within five hundred years!"
Ender's heart was filled with excitement. "If I pass the ninth level within five hundred years, I'll be able to pass Teacher's test and revive Big Brother!"
Whoosh!
In his excitement, he flew towards the ninth level.
Soon, he arrived at the end of the ninth level, where there was still a meteor several kilometers in diameter.
The meteor emitted a voice, "Please choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist..."
Ender said without hesitation, "Warrior!"
As his voice fell, the meteor broke off a piece of stone and transformed into another man in blue.
"You barely passed the eighth level," the man in blue said in an old voice. "It's impossible to defeat me!"
Hearing this, Ender did not answer. His figure flickered, and he directly charged towards him!
Extinction Two!
Power that seemed capable of annihilating Space gathered in his right hand as Ender grabbed towards the man in blue.
"Useless effort."
Facing this powerful strike, the man in blue's eyes were indifferent. He raised a hand, activated the secret patterns on his arm shield, and simultaneously used a secret technique to slap Ender's attacking right hand with his arm shield.
Boom!
The two attacks, radiating Space Law fluctuations, collided. Ender was sent flying backward, his right arm slightly damaged.
He was somewhat startled, "What!"
The Extinction Two he performed could fracture the arm of the eighth-level man in blue, but this ninth-level man in blue blocked it so easily and even sent him flying.
"Your Law comprehension is not enough," the man in blue's voice rang out. "Go back and Cultivate for a while, then come again."
Hearing this, Ender's pupils constricted. It turned out that the man in blue had caught up and was now right beside him!
Clang, clang, clang...
Claw shadows containing immense power continuously covered Ender's body. Even though he tried his best to defend, he was still overwhelmed by the continuous onslaught!
...
Swish!
A white light flashed, and Ender appeared on the island square of the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
"I lost," he shook his head internally. "I barely passed the eighth level, but at the ninth level, I was completely crushed."
His Law comprehension wasn't enough, and his amplitude wasn't as abnormal as Luo Feng's; otherwise, he could have exchanged a few more moves with the man in blue.
"Ender."
Manle walked over and sent a voice transmission, "You're really abnormal, you've already passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, while I've only passed the third."
"Mm," Ender looked over and sent a voice transmission, "Manle, you're here too."
"Of course!" Manle raised his head and indicated, "You and Kedi challenging the Tongtian Bridge at the same time caused quite a stir. Many Immortals came to watch you challenge it."
Ender scanned his surroundings and indeed found many Immortals emitting powerful auras. Then he looked up at the huge light screen in the sky.
In the light screen, Kedi was currently killing the man in yellow with a single sword strike.
"The tenth level has been passed!"
"Truly formidable. Kedi's Law comprehension is already comparable to an ordinary Immortal's."
"Not only that, he comprehended the Universe Primal Chaos Tablet and Cultivated both 'Time' and 'Space,' two higher-level Laws."
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding Immortals, Ender was slightly surprised. "Kedi has already passed the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge?"
He was somewhat surprised, but then he thought, in the original novel, Kedi passed the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain, so passing the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge now is normal... or not!
One must know that when Kedi first entered Primal Chaos City, his Law comprehension was only at the fifth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he hadn't even passed it.
But now, thirty years later, he can pass the tenth level of the Universe Tongtian Bridge. Such a rapid increase in Law comprehension is too fast, almost unbelievable!
"Hmm?" Ender suddenly realized, "Cultivating in Primal Chaos City for thirty years and raising Space Law from initial comprehension to the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge... it seems I'm quite abnormal too."
Thinking of this, he no longer dwelled on it. If Kedi's Law comprehension speed was fast, then so be it; it didn't have much impact on him.
Moreover, with Kedi in front helping him take the heat, the attention of the alien races on him would be much less. Also, there was a super Genius in the Huge Axe Dojo, suspected to be Venerable Fire Erosion, who could also share the danger for him.
Just as Ender was thinking, Kedi had already been defeated on the eleventh level of the Universe Tongtian Bridge.
...
In a residence in Primal Chaos City.
Nuno looked at the email on the light screen in front of him, his expression blank, his eyes devoid of much light. At this moment, he no longer had the desire to compare himself with Ender, because the gap between them in Law comprehension was simply too great, to the point of despair!
In terms of Law comprehension, even Manle, whom he didn't think much of, had surpassed him.
Although both were at the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, Manle passed the third level using Space Origin Law, while he used Wind Origin Law!
One was a higher-level Law, and the other was a lower-level Law he once looked down upon. Such a contrast caused him immense pain internally!
...
In the Virtual Universe, on Thunder Island Central Mountains, in a palace on the mountainside.
Venerable Gu Lun looked at the battles on the two light screens in the main hall and smiled, "Both of them are excellent. Perhaps their future palaces will also be built on the mountainside of this Central Mountain Range."
The Immortals in the main hall were startled. "Venerable thinks these two young fellows will become Universe Venerables in the future!"
Universe Venerable, what a magnificent existence! They were powerhouses who had comprehended a higher-level Law and could establish a Universe Country!
Yet, Venerable Gu Lun believed that Kedi and Ender, these two young fellows who had just participated in the Pinnacle Genius Battle not long ago, could become Universe Venerables in the future. What a great compliment this was.
...
On Thunder Island Central Mountains, in another palace on the mountainside.
Venerable Ling Tu looked at the email sent by Guardian Bevin, somewhat surprised. "Junior Brother has passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge?"
He had guided Ender and knew that his Space Origin Law comprehension was not low, already close to the eighth-level Tongtian Bridge standard, but he didn't expect him to be able to pass it after his guidance, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"My Junior Brother truly has quite an Opportunity. That message is very suitable for him. I hope he understands my meaning."
Thinking this, he sent an email to Ender.
...
On the Tongtian Bridge Plane, on the island square.
Ender, who was just about to leave, suddenly received an email from Seventh Senior Brother Venerable Ling Tu. Although he had doubts, he accepted his invitation.
Swish!
With a flash of white light, Ender disappeared from the center of the island and reappeared in a palace the next moment.
Seeing Venerable Ling Tu on the throne and noticing an outsider present, Ender respectfully sent a voice transmission, "Senior Brother."
"Junior Brother," Venerable Ling Tu sent a voice transmission with a smile, "Do you remember our agreement? I once said that if you passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge within thirty years in Primal Chaos City, I would tell you a piece of information."
"Now that you've passed the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge within the agreed time, I will tell you that news as promised."
"Universe Mercenary Alliance, Glory Secret Realm, Taas World."
"Glory Secret Realm, Taas World." After listening, Ender pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the location of a trial mission."
And then, facts proved that he was not mistaken. Venerable Ling Tu's subsequent words confirmed his guess.
Venerable Ling Tu instructed via voice transmission, "Remember, complete several trial missions before going to Taas World."
Hearing this, Ender respectfully sent a voice transmission, "Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother."
Venerable Ling Tu nodded, then said, "Go. According to the time, you should be leaving Primal Chaos City now."
"Yes." Ender stepped back two paces, then turned into a white light and disappeared.
...
Primal Chaos City, residence rooftop.
Ender opened his eyes and looked at the externally manifested Laws in the sky of the Beginning Universe, thinking, "From Seventh Senior Brother's message and his instructions, that Taas World should hold an Opportunity suitable for me."
The Virtual Universe Company's trial missions were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. Each trial mission's location held an Opportunity. For example, Blood River World was where the Gold Beast God fell, and it contained treasures like Blood River Crystal.
Devil Note Mountain also had the Legacy of the Devil's Voice God General. That Devil's Voice God General's Legacy was not simple; once fully accepted, one could Cultivate to Universe Overlord.
And Ice Mountain, which was two sides of the same coin as Devil Note Mountain, was also suspected to have the Legacy of the Cold Ice God General. Of course, this was only a suspicion; it was not stated in the original novel.
"If it were other people, perhaps they would need to complete several trial missions before discovering the hidden Opportunities in the trial mission worlds."
Ender secretly thought, "But I am different. I know that the trial mission worlds have Opportunities, so I can search for them diligently in advance."
"In the future, I will walk the Beast God Path, so Blood River World is definitely a place I must go. Blood River Crystal is an Arcana Treasure beneficial to flesh-and-blood life."
He shook his head internally, feeling a bit regretful, "My Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone is a plant lifeform and cannot enjoy such an Arcana Treasure; only my human main body can use it."
"There's no need to go to Devil Note Mountain. Without the Mosha Clan Clone's innate secret technique, 'Replication,' I can't even enter that Legacy Hall."
Outside the Devil's Voice God General's Legacy Hall, there were many World Master and even Immortal Rank Ferocious beasts. Without the ability to conceal one's aura or whereabouts, one could not enter.
"After Blood River World, I'll randomly select a few more trial mission worlds, and then choose to enter Taas World. That should be fine."
Thinking this, Ender nodded slightly. "It's decided then. There's still some time before returning to the Original Universe, so I can take this Opportunity to further comprehend the externally manifested Laws of the Beginning Universe."
...
Three days later.
Ender was observing the externally manifested Laws of the Beginning Universe and comprehending the Wood Origin Law.
Suddenly, a voice rang in his mind, "Prepare to depart!"
Hearing this voice, Ender immediately sobered up and also saw the dark blue, fish-shaped spaceship hovering above Primal Chaos City.
"It's Venerable Gu Lun's voice."
Because he had participated in the Pinnacle Genius Battle, he remembered his voice and could distinguish it immediately.
Seeing figures soaring into the sky and flying towards the dark blue, fish-shaped spaceship, Ender thought, "It's time to leave."
Whoosh!
Ender also soared into the sky, flying towards the dark blue, fish-shaped spaceship.
...
Entering the spaceship, Ender followed the corridor to a lounge and found that out of the 1000 Geniuses of his generation, only 886 remained.
"So 114 people died from hunting Primal Chaos Beasts, huh?" he thought.
After chatting with a few acquaintances for a while, Venerable Gu Lun, clad in fiery red battle armor, walked in. An invisible, powerful pressure enveloped everyone, instantly silencing the lounge.
"The thirty years of basic Cultivation in Primal Chaos City have ended. Your performance has satisfied me. Although the mortality rate is not low, your Tongtian Bridge achievements are astonishing."
Venerable Gu Lun smiled, "Kedi and Ender, one passing the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge and the other passing the eighth level, rank among the top three in nearly a thousand Pinnacle Genius Battles."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Kedi and Ender. They were already accustomed to and numb to the two's astonishing performance. If someone were to tell them in the future that the two had become great Universe Venerables, they wouldn't be surprised either.
...
After passing through the time-distorted passage, the Universe spaceship finally entered the Original Universe.
"You have left the Beginning Universe," Venerable Gu Lun looked down at the crowd. "This signifies that your safest Cultivation in Primal Chaos City has officially ended! Next, you will be divided into four teams and sent to the Primal Secret Realm, Absolute Beginning Secret Realm, Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and Last Phase Secret Realm, respectively."
"From now on, it will no longer be as comfortable as it was in Primal Chaos City. I wish you good luck, and I hope you are all still alive the next time I see you."
Rumble!
The Universe spaceship began to decelerate. A moment later, the hatch opened.
Ender and the others streamed out of the hatch and immediately saw the undulating mountains in the distance, the numerous spaceships in the distance, and the figures flying across the sky. And in the sky, there were even many stars!
At this point, they had left the Beginning Universe, concluding their thirty-year Cultivation life in Primal Chaos City!
