Demon Race Territory.
Deep within the endless starry sky, there was a palace surrounded by various flames.
Whoosh!
A streak of light flew from the distant starry sky, landing on the majestic plaza in front of the palace, transforming into a silver Celestial Wolf about ten kilometers long, exuding a powerful aura.
"Leader, according to the information provided by several Universe Venerables from our Race."
The silver Celestial Wolf respectfully prostrated, "NO.7's true identity is NO.1. He probably used an Arcana Treasure to conceal his identity, and his talent in the Wood-Space Beast God Path is extremely astonishing."
"NO.1 Ender? Arcana Treasure?"
A rumbling sound came from the palace, "Bi Fa, explain the detailed process."
"Yes, the matter is like this..."
The silver Celestial Wolf, Venerable Bi Fa, organized and relayed all the information he had obtained from multiple Universe Venerables.
"Venerable Quakebound, Beast God of Wood... Since NO.1 has left Aurora Radiance Continent, there's no need to go to Aurora Radiance Continent anymore."
After hearing the detailed account, the rumbling sound in the palace paused for a moment, then continued: "Issue a command: cancel the bounties on NO.4 and NO.7. Raise the bounty on NO.1 to one ordinary Arcana Treasure. If Soul enslaved or kill is achieved, a high-grade Arcana Treasure will be awarded!"
"Yes, Leader."
Venerable Bi Fa responded, then relayed the command through his Immortal Energy Avatar.
The intelligence department had once linked NO.4 King Verdant End with NO.1 Ender, suspecting they were the same person.
However, the former later Breakthrough to become an Immortal, while the latter was still a World Master on the Primal Secret Realm list, which is why they were separately bountied.
Now that NO.1 Ender's disguise as NO.7 King Void River has been exposed, it's highly possible that NO.4 King Verdant End was also a disguise of NO.1, so canceling the NO.4 bounty is normal.
"Bi Fa."
A rumbling sound came from the palace again, "Besides NO.1, NO.2 should also be closely monitored."
When NO.2 Kedi was at the Stellar Rank, he displayed the talent of mixing Space Law, which left a deep impression on the great existence in the palace, so he also wanted to kill him before he rose to power.
"Yes, Leader." Venerable Bi Fa nodded.
... ...
Primal Secret Realm.
After several days of slow travel, Ender arrived at the Primal Universe passage.
As usual, he saw the fish-shaped ferry spaceship, which departed at a fixed time, already docked, so he entered to wait for the spaceship to depart.
"Your Highness Ender."
An Immortal in a white uniform bowed respectfully upon seeing Ender enter the spaceship.
"Mm."
Ender nodded slightly, stepping towards the spaceship's main hall.
When the Genius powerhouses in the waiting hall had entered the spaceship, a voice was heard, "His Highness Ender has entered the spaceship. Departing for the Primal Universe!"
Boom!
The fish-shaped spaceship took off, heading towards the huge ring of light that was the Primal Universe passage.
A Marquis-level Immortal leisurely walked into the waiting hall. Since he knew the ferry spaceship departed at a fixed time, he wasn't in a hurry at all.
But as soon as he entered the waiting hall, he saw the fish-shaped spaceship from the other exit had already departed, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
"Hey! I haven't gotten on the spaceship yet!"
The Marquis-level Immortal quickly shouted, rushing towards the fish-shaped spaceship, "The time hasn't even arrived, why did it depart?!"
After chasing for two steps, seeing the fish-shaped spaceship had already gone far, the Marquis-level Immortal stopped and asked the white-clothed Immortal at the gate: "Why did the spaceship depart before its scheduled time?"
"Lord Zhu Ti, you should know the rules. For a spaceship to depart early, there must be a powerhouse of our human race inside."
The white-clothed Immortal recognized the Marquis-level Immortal and replied, "As for which specific powerhouse is inside, I won't tell you."
"Powerhouse..."
Lord Zhu Ti understood upon hearing this. "If I'm not mistaken, for a spaceship to enter the Primal Universe early, it must be at least a powerhouse extremely close to a Universe Venerable."
"However, a powerhouse of a Universe Venerable's caliber should be able to enter the Primal Universe directly, so it must be one of the legendary Invincible stage King-Level powerhouses."
"Alas, bad luck, just a step too late. Otherwise, I would have known which Invincible stage King-Level powerhouse of our human race was on the spaceship."
Lord Zhu Ti sighed inwardly, "Never mind, I'll wait for the next ferry spaceship."
... ...
Inside the fish-shaped spaceship that had already departed and was heading towards the Primal Universe passage.
In the main hall, there were over thirty Geniuses and six Immortals. All of them turned their gazes towards Ender, their eyes revealing awe and envy.
"That is Ender, the peerless Genius born in our Virtual Universe Company over ten thousand years ago. Rumor has it that his Law comprehension is already close to a Universe Venerable."
"This His Highness Ender is truly amazing. He can actually make the spaceship heading to Primal Chaos City in the Primal Universe depart early. Such treatment is probably something even a King-level Immortal cannot enjoy."
"If I had even one-tenth, no... even one-hundredth of Your Highness Ender's talent, I wouldn't still be stuck in the Last Phase Secret Realm for over ten thousand years!"
Looking at Ender, who had a calm expression but exuded a life aura no less than an Immortal, these Genius Immortal felt various emotions in their hearts.
Especially for those Immortal, most of them had Cultivated for over a hundred million years, yet their Law comprehension was far inferior to Ender, who had Cultivated for less than twenty thousand years. This made them very respectful.
... ...
Primal Universe.
The fish-shaped spaceship passed through the spatial passage, flying through the Void and arriving above Primal Chaos City.
"Hmm? This spaceship just left Primal Chaos City not long ago, why is it back again?"
A Black-Robed Envoy was somewhat surprised, "Could it be that an Invincible stage King-Level powerhouse or a Universe Venerable happened to take this spaceship?"
"Those who have been to Primal Chaos City can leave on their own. Those who haven't been to Primal Chaos City, come to me."
The Black-Robed Envoy, following protocol, had the newcomers who had never been to Primal Chaos City wait so he could uniformly inform them of Primal Chaos City's regulations.
Swoosh!
The fish-shaped spaceship's hatch opened, and Ender was the first to leap out, heading towards the Primal Chaos City Lord's Mansion.
"That's His Highness Ender!"
The Black-Robed Envoy naturally recognized Ender. After all, he was the one who had received Ender's batch of Geniuses back then.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
One after another, Genius Immortal streamed out. Only three had never been to Primal Chaos City and flew to the Black-Robed Envoy's side.
"What's going on?"
The Black-Robed Envoy saw that no one else was coming out of the spaceship's passage, yet he didn't see the expected Invincible stage King-Level or Universe Venerable, which greatly surprised him.
So, he asked the three newcomers who had never been to Primal Chaos City: "What's going on with your spaceship? Why did it arrive at Primal Chaos City early?"
"It's because His Highness Ender wanted to enter the Primal Universe, so the spaceship departed early." An Immortal replied.
Upon hearing this, the Black-Robed Envoy's eyes widened, "His Highness Ender?"
"Yes." The Immortal nodded.
"Has His Highness Ender's current status and position already reached that of an Invincible stage King-Level powerhouse? He can actually make the spaceship depart early!"
The Black-Robed Envoy felt it was incredible. "Too Heaven-Defying! I've been in Primal Chaos City for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a World Master receive such treatment."
"Envoy?"
The Immortal softly called out, "Should we depart now?"
"Oh!"
The Black-Robed Envoy nodded upon hearing this, "You follow me. I will introduce you to Primal Chaos City's three treasures..."
... ...
Ender flew to an area near the City Lord's Mansion and found an unoccupied residence to input his information.
Pushing the door open and entering the residence, he silently thought: "This time, I came to Primal Chaos City for secluded Cultivation, mainly to comprehend Space Law and study secret techniques."
"But before that, I must first pass the Eighteenth Layer of Tongtian Bridge to obtain permanent residency in Primal Chaos City."
Ender came to the quiet room and sat down cross-legged. "Now that my identity has been exposed, as Seventh Senior Brother's email said, even without the Virtual Universe Company's or my acknowledgment, almost the entire Hong Alliance Virtual City believes King Void River is my disguise."
"Compared to claw-type weapons, I am more proficient with spears, and there's no need to continue researching claw-type secret techniques. Spear-type secret techniques can unleash my true strength."
If his identity hadn't been exposed before, Ender might have considered researching claw-type secret techniques, but now that his identity wasn't hidden, he could boldly use a spear to display his strength!
"Since they all believe I am King Void River, I might as well reveal the identity of King Verdant End as well. Anyway, a careful investigation would likely reveal it."
Thinking this, Ender's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.
... ...
Tongtian Bridge Plane, central beautiful island.
Guardian Bevin, for countless years, watched over the Tongtian Bridge.
Swish!
With a flash of white light, Ender appeared on the island, immediately attracting Guardian Bevin's attention.
"Your Highness Ender."
Compared to his previous casualness, Guardian Bevin was much more respectful now, because Ender's status and position had greatly improved since his last visit to challenge the Tongtian Bridge.
Ender smiled, "Long time no see, Bevin."
"It has been over ten thousand years since I last met Your Highness."
Guardian Bevin's expression was respectful, "Your Highness, are you here to challenge the Tongtian Bridge?"
Ender nodded slightly, "Mm, is Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge empty?"
"Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge is currently empty, Your Highness can enter and challenge it at any time." Guardian Bevin replied.
"Good."
Ender smiled, "I'll go in first. You notify the others."
Guardian Bevin paused slightly, "Yes."
Whoosh!
Ender transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge.
"As early as several thousand years ago, His Highness Ender had already passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain. Now, coming to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, he can probably easily pass the 20th floor."
Guardian Bevin sighed inwardly, "Thinking back to when His Highness first came to challenge the Tongtian Bridge, he was quite a bit behind Kedi, who was first in his batch. But now, he has far surpassed Kedi."
While sighing inwardly, Guardian Bevin didn't forget to send the news of Ender challenging the Tongtian Bridge to the Immortals and Universe Venerables who were paying attention, as well as the many Geniuses in the Virtual Universe Company's Core Region.
When Guardian Bevin's email was sent, the Geniuses and powerhouses received the email and looked at it...
"Hmm, Ender went to challenge the Tongtian Bridge. The last time he challenged the Tongtian Bridge was over ten thousand years ago, and he only reached the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer before stopping. This time, he's probably going to pass the 20th floor."
"Ender finally went to challenge the Tongtian Bridge. I want to see if he is King Void River. I remember he used claw-type weapons when challenging the Tongtian Bridge before, while King Void River uses a spear."
"Ender already passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain a long time ago. His Law comprehension must have reached a terrifying level now. I won't be his opponent in the Secret Realm competition a few thousand years later, and neither will anyone else. As long as I can win against the others, that's enough."
"Ender and I are from the same batch. He passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixteenth Layer over ten thousand years ago, while I have only passed the Tongtian Bridge Sixth Layer. The gap is too big!"
... ...
Primal Secret Realm, Training Ground of Manor 112.
Manle, still as "robust" as ever, was practicing axe-type weapon secret techniques. Wherever the axe blade passed, it seemed to tear space apart.
"Ender already passed the Primal Sky Mountain a long time ago. Now, going to challenge the Tongtian Bridge is just a formality. There's no need to watch."
Upon receiving the news of Ender challenging the Tongtian Bridge, he shook his head helplessly, "Moreover, watching might even be a blow to my confidence. It's better not to watch."
"Hmm... To show sincerity, I should write a congratulatory email in advance."
Manle wrote an email and muttered, "Ender passed the 20th floor of Tongtian Bridge. It seems he can get a lot of points. He should treat me to good wine, right...?"
Primal Secret Realm, Manor 111.
The still beautiful Fei was currently sitting cross-legged in her study, with a thick metal book placed before her.
When she received the email from Guardian Bevin, she softly said, "There's no need to watch. With Ender's strength, he will definitely pass the 20th floor of Tongtian Bridge."
"I still need to work hard and strive to pass the Tongtian Bridge Tenth Layer, and then Breakthrough to become a World Master."
Fei, who had Fused three Blood River Crystals and activated the Blood Warrior secret patterns, had already passed the Tongtian Bridge Ninth Layer. To ensure she wouldn't fall into the Absolute Beginning Secret Realm at the Domain Master, she had remained at the Universe Level for thousands of years.
... ...
In a remote area of the Universe, within a resource-poor Universe Secret Realm.
Kedi was currently sitting cross-legged in a cave, comprehending the murals carved on the cave wall, with a hundred Star Eating Grass guarding him.
"There is only one last mural left to comprehend here. I hope it can help me further my comprehension of Space Law."
Kedi silently thought, "My comprehension of Space Law is already close to the Tongtian Bridge 20th floor, but it's very difficult to truly step into the threshold of the 20th floor; it requires comprehending a profound mystery."
After the content of Guardian Bevin's email was read by his virtual assistant, it was marked as an important email and directly alerted Kedi.
"Hmm?"
Kedi's slight consciousness in the Virtual Universe read the email. "Ender went to challenge the Tongtian Bridge...?"
He didn't pay too much attention to Ender challenging the Tongtian Bridge, after all, he had already passed the World Master Level Primal Sky Mountain, and passing the 20th floor of Tongtian Bridge now wasn't difficult.
"Wait, what is this?!"
Besides Guardian Bevin's email, another email greatly shocked Kedi, even causing his eyes to widen a bit.
"Ender disguised as an Invincible stage King-Level powerhouse, has completed the Soul enslavement of a Limit stage King Immortal, and the slaughter of a Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal!"
He showed a look of astonishment, "Marquis-level Immortal are already so hard to kill, how did he manage to slaughter Pinnacle Stage King-Level Immortal?"
With a Heavy Treasure and the assistance of an Immortal plant life, Kedi could kill a Pinnacle Stage Marquis-level Immortal, but it would be very difficult to kill anything higher.
"The gap between him and me has grown to such an extent..."
Kedi's eyes showed a hint of loss, "Do I still have a chance of winning the World Master Level Secret Realm competition a few thousand years from now...?"
... ...
Tongtian Bridge Plane.
As Guardian Bevin sent out the email, figures continuously appeared on the beautiful island, which previously had few people. In just a few breaths, over a hundred Genius powerhouses arrived.
At this moment, Ender had already reached the end of the Tongtian Bridge Seventeenth Layer...
