The Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer, Tongtian Bridge Fourteenth Layer, and Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer each involved combat within a planet's core, magma layer, and surface, respectively.
As the saying goes, three layers make a threshold, and the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer battlefield naturally changed.
Ender, clad in black battle attire, flew continuously along the bridge surface. Ahead was a colossal star emitting light and heat, and the endless Tongtian Bridge led to the star's surface.
Soon.
He followed the Tongtian Bridge, which spanned the cosmos, flying from a planet to the surface of a star.
"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat one to pass the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer." A deep, rumbling voice emanated from the entire star.
"Warrior," Ender replied.
Boom!
As his voice fell, the scorching flames on the star's surface seemed to ignite. A ball of fire rose from the star's surface and landed on the Tongtian Bridge's surface.
The flames receded, coalescing into a masked Fire Armor Man in fiery red armor.
He wore fiery red armor, had fiery red hair, and arm shields of the same color on both arms, along with fierce red gauntlets on his hands.
"It has been a very long time since anyone of Domain Master has reached the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer."
The Fire Armor Man gazed at Ender with his golden eyes, his voice grand and resonant.
"It won't be long before someone else reaches the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer," Ender replied, then added, "Let's begin."
"Alright," the Fire Armor Man nodded in agreement.
The next moment, his figure flickered, transforming into a fiery red stream of light that rushed towards Ender.
Facing the Fire Armor Man's assault, Ender did not immediately react. When that terrifying power struck.
Whoosh!
A shadowy black claw appeared. Though not long, it seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, shattering the space it passed through, creating deep, empty rifts as it went.
This shadowy black claw came too quickly and too suddenly, catching the attacking Fire Armor Man off guard. In an instant, he was swept into it, torn into fragments along with the space, transforming into a ball of flame that returned to the endless scorching flames of the star.
With this, the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer—passed!
Rumble!
The Tongtian Bridge's surface trembled. The bridge, which had only reached the star's surface, extended inward, and the entire Tongtian Bridge became enveloped in endless scorching flames.
Ender didn't hesitate, flying forward along the bridge surface, entering the bridge tunnel composed of endless scorching flames.
...
Soon, Ender also passed the Tongtian Bridge Fourteenth Layer, flying along the bridge surface towards the core of the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer star.
After flying for a long time amidst the endless flames, he arrived at the end of the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer. The surroundings and the end of the bridge were still endless scorching flames, and he was situated within this sea of fire.
At the end of the bridge, a rumbling sound echoed, "Please choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist…"
"Warrior," Ender replied without hesitation.
As his voice fell.
The scorching flames at the end of the bridge surged violently. A ball of fire shot towards the bridge surface, transforming into a fiery red Fire Armor Man.
Ender didn't want to waste time, so he urged, "No need for pleasantries, let's just begin."
"As you wish," the Fire Armor Man's golden eyes were cold.
Boom!
Terrifying Qi waves and invisible shockwaves spread. The Fire Armor Man transformed into a fiery red stream of light, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the air as he attacked Ender.
Ender's figure swayed, seemingly without moving, but in reality, he transformed into a black stream of light, merging with a continuously spreading shadowy black rifts.
Whoosh!
The shadowy black rifts extended infinitely, instantly engulfing the fiery red stream of light and continuing to extend for a few breaths before stopping. It was then that Ender's figure reappeared above the bridge surface.
As the scorching flames, into which the Fire Armor Man had transformed, reintegrated into the star's core, the Tongtian Bridge vibrated violently, and the surrounding environment changed abruptly!
...
Tongtian Bridge Plane, Island Plaza.
A massive light screen floated in the air, broadcasting Ender's progress on the Tongtian Bridge. Below, in the plaza, many Geniuses and powerful individuals were looking up and watching.
"He passed the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer too."
"This is too easy. The Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer was like the Tongtian Bridge Thirteenth Layer, defeating the Guardian in an instant."
"At this rate, Ender is probably going to pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
"It's not that simple. The Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer and the three layers he just passed are not on the same level."
Seeing Ender easily pass the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer, the Geniuses and powerful individuals began to discuss, each expressing their own opinions.
"As expected of a Disciple of an Existence greater than a Universe Venerable, this talent is truly Prodigy-level."
Guardian Bevin also looked up at the light screen in the sky, sighing inwardly, "I thought he was just saying it casually before, but I didn't expect him to truly have the strength to pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
While the other eight Domain Masters in the Primal Secret Realm were still unable to Breakthrough their Law comprehension at the Tongtian Bridge Fourteenth Layer, Ender had already passed the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer. The difference was more than just heaven and earth!
...
As Ender passed the Tongtian Bridge Fifteenth Layer, the surrounding environment changed abruptly.
He was teleported from inside the star to the cosmos, and the Tongtian Bridge beneath his feet led to a dim planet ahead, like the remnants of countless extinguished flames.
Flying along the Tongtian Bridge's surface, he quickly reached the end of the bridge, which was the planet's surface.
It was a vast expanse of shadowy black charred matter. The entire planet seemed to be composed of it, though there was still some residual heat.
"Is this a black dwarf?" Ender guessed.
As he reached the end of the Tongtian Bridge, a rumbling sound emanated from the entire planet, "Please choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist…"
"Warrior," Ender replied.
As his voice fell, the planet's surface vibrated, and countless purple light points emerged from the planet's surface, finally condensing on the bridge surface into a masked Purple Armor Man.
He wore purple armor, had purple hair, purple arm shields on his forearms, and fierce purple gauntlets on his hands.
"It has been a very, very long time since the last Domain Master reached this point. It's impressive that you've made it here."
The Purple Armor Man gazed at Ender with his dark golden eyes and said, "However, your journey on the bridge ends here."
"You want to defeat me? Give it a try," Ender smiled.
"I'm different from the previous Guardian," the Purple Armor Man said, "I hope you can maintain your confidence."
Whoosh!!
Both moved in unison, their figures flickering into streams of light as they attacked each other. Wherever they passed, space shattered, and tiny, web-like crack continuously spread outwards.
Boom!
In an instant, the two clashed. Claw strikes tore through the surrounding space, and illusory or real claw shadows filled the surrounding space. The powerful Space Law power bombarded and shattered the space fragments further.
After a few breaths of combat, Ender had a clear understanding of the Purple Armor Man's strength. Although the opponent's Secret Technique power was comparable to his, he surpassed the opponent in Law comprehension.
If the crushing force of his body's amplification was also considered, he wouldn't need to expend much effort to defeat his opponent.
"I've figured out the strength of the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer. It's time to end this battle."
Thinking this, Ender instantly unleashed his combat power!
Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body!
With the activation of the body amplification Secret Technique, his physical strength was amplified 11 times, creating a basic strength suppression against the Purple Armor Man who had no amplification Secret Technique.
Extinction Five! The final Move of 'Fivefold Extinction Claw', a Secret Technique Move with an upper limit of the Tongtian Bridge Eighteenth Layer. Now, when unleashed with his Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer Law comprehension, coupled with the amplification Secret Technique's boost, its power was far more terrifying than 'Extinction Four'!
The Law power contained within Ender's shadowy black gauntlets was incredibly terrifying. The moment he engaged the Purple Armor Man, endless power poured forth.
Whoosh!!
A shadowy black claw mark flashed past, piercing through the Purple Armor Man's body, directly tearing his body apart. Then, five long space rifts, seemingly capable of tearing through the cosmos, appeared.
This terrifying power erupted too quickly, leaving the Purple Armor Man no time to resist. He was instantly killed by the terrifying power contained within the shadowy black gauntlets.
With this, the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer was passed!
The Purple Armor Man's death transformed into countless purple light points that fell into the shadowy black charred earth at the end of the Tongtian Bridge.
Rumble!!
The endless shadowy black charred earth trembled, and the Tongtian Bridge extended into the planet's interior.
Looking at the Tongtian Bridge extending into the planet's interior, Ender let out a light breath. The Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer wasn't too difficult for him.
Because, next, there was an even more difficult Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain waiting for him to challenge!
"It's time to leave and challenge the Domain Master Primal Sky Mountain."
Muttering softly, Ender teleported away from the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
...
"Passed? He just passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer?"
"Too strong! Ender is truly terrifyingly powerful, killing the Guardian so easily."
"Passing the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer in less than ten thousand years, this level of talent is truly Prodigy-level. Kedi is slightly inferior compared to him."
On the Tongtian Bridge Plane's island plaza, the Geniuses and powerful individuals watching Ender's live broadcast of him challenging the Tongtian Bridge were all quite astonished.
Because not only was Ender's Law comprehension progress astonishingly fast, but his combat power was also strong enough to instantly kill the Guardian, which truly exceeded their expectations.
"Seeing Ender today, I feel as if I'm seeing a Huge Axe from the past, who was also able to crush the Guardian at the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
"In our Human Race history, anyone who has passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer at the Domain Master, as long as they haven't fallen, is at least a Peak Invincible-stage King Level existence."
"To be precise, the number of people who become Universe Venerables is greater than those who become Peak Invincible-stage King Level."
"Indeed, most Prodigy-level Geniuses like this, as long as they don't fall, will achieve Universe Venerable status."
As it involved the Human Race's Huge Axe, those ancient Immortals could only communicate via telepathy.
"He really passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer!"
Seeing Ender pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer and leave the Tongtian Bridge Plane, Guardian Bevin quickly fulfilled his duty and sent out the mass message.
...
"He passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer so easily?"
"His instant power is so strong? This Ender's strength seems to be not that simple."
"Being able to pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer, this Ender will probably be able to pass the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain in no time."
"Prodigy, truly a Prodigy, this progress speed is too fast."
The Universe Venerables, who were watching the live broadcast from their palaces on Thunder Island or their independent spaces in the Virtual Universe using their privileges, all sighed in admiration at Ender's performance, simply because his progress speed was too fast and astonishing.
Not only did he surpass Kedi, but he also surpassed Jiu Mengluo, the super Genius of the Huge Axe Dojo.
Moreover, judging from Ender's performance on the bridge just now, his chances of passing the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain were very high.
Even if he didn't pass the Domain Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, he could cultivate in seclusion for a while longer, improve his Secret Techniques and other abilities, and then the probability of successfully passing Sky Mountain would increase.
...
Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain, Absolute Beginning Secret Realm.
Manle sat in the study of his manor, with fine wine and delicacies on the table before him. At this moment, he was waiting for news of Ender's progress on the Tongtian Bridge.
"Hmm… open the email."
Suddenly, the voice of the intelligent optical computer sounded in his mind. He quickly told it to open the newly received email.
"Haha!"
Looking at the email on the light screen before him, Manle's face broke into a joyful smile, "This truly fits Ender's style of doing things. He only challenges when he truly has the confidence to pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
"With such happy news, it's worth celebrating. My purchase of so much delicious food wasn't in vain."
With that, he began a long-overdue indulgence, using the excuse of celebrating Ender's success.
...
In another manor in the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm.
The beautiful Fox Clan woman, 'Fei', was half-reclining languidly on the sofa, her fluffy white fox tail gently swaying.
"Hmm, it's finally here."
Sitting up properly, she gently lifted a fair finger, and a light screen appeared before her.
"Alas, he passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
Eighteen sighed softly, "The gap hasn't shrunk, but instead grown larger and larger. I truly don't know if joining their small circle is a good or bad thing."
"It probably won't be long. Perhaps before I even enter the Primal Secret Realm, it will be Kedi's turn to pass the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer."
She gently shook her head, "Even though we are both Human Race, the difference in talent is so vast."
The Human Race is a group with a very large fluctuation in talent, unlike those groups with racial talent where the talent upper and lower limits have a very small difference.
For example, the Mosha Clan. If the full score for talent is 10, then the Mosha Clan's racial talent is 9.5, with a fluctuation of about 0.5 points, meaning the difference between the upper and lower limits is only 1 point.
However, 99% of the Human Race's branches do not have racial talent, so the upper limit is a full score of 10, while the lower limit is 0.1 points. The difference between the two is incredibly vast.
Among them, high talent is relatively difficult to be born due to the restrictions of the Universe's operating Law. Occasionally, an extremely talented Genius will emerge, while countless other Human Race individuals are mostly of low talent.
However, talent also has a chance to be reshaped, and this reshaping is done by Possessing a life form with a Clone, and then nurturing the True Body by nurturing the Clone.
Nurturing is like a new birth of life, and talent will be randomly reshaped.
It's just that reshaping is like gambling. If the talent is extremely poor, it's understandable to take a gamble.
Of course, gambling also requires capital. There aren't many like Ender who are willing to spend a huge price to help their younger brother purchase Possession resources.
If the talent is not bad, then gambling is very likely to result in a complete loss, and one can only rely on the body gained through Possession to comprehend the Law.
Therefore, many Geniuses with exceptionally outstanding talent in their own races often do not choose to Possess other races.
Unless the other party can nurture a large number of Clones, and the quality of the nurtured Clones is high enough, only then will Geniuses consider Possession.
...
Ender left the Tongtian Bridge Plane and, upon returning to his manor in the Primal Secret Realm, immediately entered the Sky Mountain Plane…
