Humans devour, and the proverb "living off a woman is eternal" holds true.

The Black Mist King is also a super existence of the 'Nine Universes' school, but he belongs to the Giant Axe Arena.

In a short time, dozens of immortal gods gathered in the Tongtian Bridge plane, most of whom were at the King level.

A beautiful woman wearing azure battle armor and with flowing purple hair suddenly appeared.

"Longyu!"

King Zhenyan exclaimed in surprise, "Look, so many big shots are watching here, all waiting to poach Nine Swords Venerable's talent."

He certainly knew why so many immortal gods had gathered there.

Most of them were just there to join in the fun and see just how incredible the legendary newcomer really was!

"This batch of newcomers was guided by the Venerable One, so they should naturally be under the Venerable One's command. If you want to poach them, you should be poaching from the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler."

Longyu Wang glanced at the others with her bright eyes. Her whole being was like a piece of jade, with a sense of clarity, as if she did not exist in this time and space at all.

"Everyone."

The Silver Moon King smiled and said, "Which level do you think Lin Hao can pass?"

The True King looked at the guardian, Baffin, and asked, "What level is Lin Hao on now?"

"He's only just started crossing the Sky Bridge, and he's already finished the battle on the third level."

"That is the answer from the watchman, Baffin."

Chapter 83 Initial Application of the Essence of Laws

Baffin is the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane. He is most familiar with the situation of everyone on the Tongtian Bridge. Even super strong people like Zhenyan King cannot directly investigate the battle on the Tongtian Bridge.

"Play a video of him breaking through the overpass."

"That's what King Longyu instructed."

"Yes."

With a wave of his hand, a huge screen appeared in front of him, displaying an image of Lin Hao standing on the Tongtian Bridge looking at a cloud of white mist.

These powerful figures who were granted titles of kings and marquises were the subject of much discussion.

"I bet Lin Hao can easily pass the sixth level! He might even be able to pass the tenth level with a bit more practice!"

"I've heard he's incredibly talented, but it can't be that bad, right?"

"It's hard to say. Anyone who has seen his genius battle videos, who can apply the Law of Water to that extent, and teleport like him!"

Everyone fell silent. Not every immortal king can master teleportation.

Compared to Lin Hao, it feels like all their years of cultivation have been for nothing.

"He also has that incredible healing ability..."

Someone interrupted.

"That's survivability! The Bridge to Heaven requires offensive power to defeat the enemy! I admit his survival skills might be unparalleled, even making him a marquis or king, but clearing the level still relies on attack!"

“Indeed, a deep understanding of the laws does not necessarily equate to strong offensive methods. I admit that he has strong healing abilities and is very talented in spatial laws, especially in teleportation, but what about offense? The pure water elemental law has an upper limit to its offensive power.”

"We'll see as we go on; at least the first few floors pose no challenge for him."

At this time-

"It's about to begin."

Longyu Wang's eyes lit up.

Immediately, many immortal gods turned to look at the screen, where Lin Hao had instantly annihilated the mysterious black-clad figure formed from the fourth layer of clouds.

On the screen, Lin Hao faced the fourth-level gatekeeper. His figure flashed and he instantly closed in as if he were flowing water. His sword, the Void-Slaying Blade, traced a mysterious trajectory, causing ripples in the space. The gatekeeper hadn't even fully raised his weapon before he shattered and vanished like a bubble.

"..."

"Hiss... Another instant kill? Even the fourth floor is one-shotted?"

"His movement and sword strikes... are too fast and too smooth. The laws of space are completely integrated into his footwork and swordsmanship!"

"The attack power is not weak either! That slash caused spatial ripples to resonate, and the power was terrifyingly concentrated."

"It seems we underestimated him. His attack power may not be weak, but it is overshadowed by his teleportation and ability to keep his companions alive."

"I heard that the genius tournament is just this boring... No matter who he fights, no matter which tower or floor he's on, it's all an instant kill..."

The many immortal gods watched the screen, discussing it with slight surprise.

Lin Hao began to carefully observe the attacks of the gatekeeper warriors from the fifth level onwards.

The guardian warriors on the fifth and sixth levels unleashed exquisite sword techniques, some as heavy as the earth crushing, some as violent as thunderbolts, and some as swift as a fleeting shadow.

Lin Hao did not pursue an instant defeat, but relied on his profound water-based fundamental law defense and the Myriad Flowing Body Technique to maneuver around, carefully comprehending the subtle application of spatial laws and power exertion techniques contained in his opponent's moves.

He simulated and improved upon the techniques used by his opponent in battle, incorporating his own understanding of water and space into the exquisite swordsmanship he employed.

Finally, after observing and learning, he passed through the sixth level with a clean and decisive strike that was more fluid and imbued with the power of spatial vibration.

The seventh level of the Sky Bridge.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a controller, or an illusionist. Defeat your opponent to pass through the seventh level of the Bridge to Heaven."

Ahead of Lin Hao was a huge cloud of mist, from which a voice emanated.

Lin Hao didn't hesitate at all: "Martial artist!"

His goal was clear: to witness the gatekeepers' more advanced attack methods!

call!

A ball of black liquid flew out from the huge cloud, and the black liquid quickly condensed in mid-air into a mysterious warrior wearing a black battle suit and a mask.

This person held a dark purple battle blade, his aura was as deep as a mountain, and a sense of spatial tearing that was condensed to the extreme emanated from him.

"Boy, you've made it this far, your understanding of the laws is quite solid! Unfortunately, the seventh level is a qualitative leap!"

The mysterious martial artist's voice was icy cold, and before he could finish speaking, his figure suddenly blurred!

He didn't teleport; rather, his movements were so fast that they left behind afterimages.

At the same time, the battle blade in his hand transformed into an extremely condensed purple line, silently yet carrying a terrifying power to cut through space, appearing almost simultaneously at nine vital points around Lin Hao's body!

His application of spatial laws is clearly several levels higher than that of the sixth-level gatekeeper!

'So powerful! The spatial cutting and undercurrent strangulation techniques have been combined! The speed also far surpasses before!'

Lin Hao's pupils contracted slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He saw it with perfect clarity!

Just before the blade of light that tore through space coalesced into a line and was about to pierce his body—he moved!

He neither took the attack head-on nor launched an immediate attack.

His footsteps flowed as if he were stepping on the weak points of space, and his figure instantly became like a phantom and flowing water!

Whoosh!

He narrowly avoided all the purple blade lines that were about to cut vital organs.

The essence of the spatial law "teleportation"—"spatial resonance"—was used by him for extreme evasion, rather than for sneak attacks.

"Quick reaction!"

The man in black snorted coldly, and his dark purple battle blade swept through the space in a semicircle, drawing in countless tiny spatial rifts to form a dense cage of blade energy that suddenly enveloped and strangled Lin Hao!

It has a certain charm of spatial enclosure and spatial division!

"The gatekeeper is adept at both offense and defense, and their attacks, especially those with a spatial-cutting element, are extremely fierce. Lin Hao can only rely on defense and evasion to hold on, and he's finding it very difficult..."

One of the comments was that he was granted the title of Marquis and would live forever.

"It seems he's only good at teleportation in terms of spatial laws; he's already struggling at only the seventh level..."

Some people are confused.

"Look! He's started imitating and learning!"

Longyu Wang pointed at the screen.

On the screen, Lin Hao dodged and weaved through a dense, rain-like cage of sword energy, tearing apart the layers of water defenses that overlapped and then collapsed.

He appeared disheveled, but his eyes remained fixed on the black-clad man's technique and the rhythmic fluctuations of spatial cutting, capturing the essence of "condensing space into a blade."

Unable to break through Lin Hao's defenses, the man in black grew increasingly ferocious with his blade, determined to crush Lin Hao completely.

Just then—as he narrowly dodged the largest spatial rift, Lin Hao's eyes lit up!

"Water, the softest of all, can also be the hardest! The cutting of space, so that's how it works, its core lies in the detonation of the resonance point!"

He grasped the fragile "balance point" needed to maintain the powerful attack force of the man in black's swordsmanship!

He also realized how to combine his own sword intent, which combines strength and gentleness, with the spatial fluctuations in an instant!

"break!"

Lin Hao stopped avoiding the situation and instead advanced!

The air-slicing blade in his hand suddenly lit up, no longer pursuing a grand momentum, but compressing and concentrating all the resilience of the water's origin and the power of space folding into a single point at the tip of the blade!

The trajectory of that slash was extremely simple and direct, yet it carried an absolute will to pierce through spatial nodes!

Like water dripping on a stone, it found that one and only crack, instantly piercing into a subtle gap between the black-clad man's sword energy defense and spatial fluctuations!

"what?!"

The man in black was clearly shocked; he had never seen such a direct attack on his "power node" before!

Defense was too late, and the attack was forcibly halted!

puff!

That strike, which embodied all of Lin Hao's current insights and power, precisely pierced the core node of the black-clad man's power flow!

The man in black shuddered, his movements froze, and he stared incredulously at the tip of the knife in his chest.

That was no ordinary penetrating wound; the shockwave contained in the blade tip completely disrupted his condensed sword intent and the power of the fundamental laws of space.

His body shattered into pieces, turning into black liquid and returning to the clouds.

"He won?! He cleared the seventh level?! He really learned and applied it on the spot, finding a way to break the pattern?!"
