At the end of the 17th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
Ender was clad in silver-white battle armor, with a closed helmet on his head, and held a dark green long spear, identical to his King Verdant End attire during his time in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
"Please choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist..."
A rumbling sound emanated from the dim, scorched black objects around the bridge, which still retained a little heat.
"Warrior," Ender replied.
As his voice fell, the scorched black objects emitted countless purple light specks, quickly converging on the bridge surface to form a purple armored masked figure.
He wore purple battle armor, had purple hair, and also wielded a purple long spear.
Before the purple armored man could speak, Ender urged directly, "Begin."
Upon hearing this, the purple armored man's figure flickered, and he held the purple long spear, attacking Ender.
Whoosh!
His speed was incredibly fast, much faster than many World Master Generals in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, like a purple lightning bolt wielding a spear, its tip tearing a small crack in space.
Ender stood motionless in the air, holding the dark green long spear with one hand and casually waving it.
Tear!
Instantly, a huge crack was torn in the space on the bridge surface, instantly swallowing the incoming purple lightning, revealing only the star-like spatial fragments shuttling through the spatial interlayers.
Ender looked at the spatial crack, as if seeing countless stars, "The 17th floor of the Tongtian Bridge is too weak..."
Rumble.
As the purple armored man was killed, the endless black scorched Earth trembled, and the Tongtian Bridge extended towards the core of the planet.
Seeing the 18th floor of the Tongtian Bridge appear, Ender transformed into a silver stream of light and flew rapidly along the Tongtian Bridge.
...
On the beautiful island square in the Tongtian Bridge Plane.
Some Genius Immortal arrived before Ender started challenging the bridge, and some Genius powerhouses arrived after Ender started challenging the bridge.
And when the latter saw the figure in the projected light screen in the sky, they couldn't help but wonder, "This attire, why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"
"Of course, it's familiar! This is the attire of King Verdant End, who rose to prominence ten thousand years ago. Wait... could it be!"
"Ender is so proficient with a long spear, able to instantly kill the 17th floor guardian of the Tongtian Bridge. It seems he really is King Void River, who possesses Invincible stage King-Level strength."
"Besides his identity as King Void River, I never expected that King Verdant End, renowned for his defensive techniques ten thousand years ago, was also an impersonation by Ender."
"Ender is King Verdant End. No wonder no one could contact King Void River in the Hong Alliance. It turns out he joined the Hong Alliance under the identity of King Verdant End."
King Verdant End's reputation was not small. Not only was he a Limit stage King powerhouse close to being Invincible stage King-Level, known for his defensive techniques, but he was also ranked NO.4 on the assassination bounty list of the Demon race and other three Pinnacle racial groups.
And Ender had already established a formidable reputation in the Extraterritorial Battlefield ten thousand years ago under the identity of King Verdant End. The achievement of Invincible stage King-Level strength under the identity of King Void River ten thousand years later also seems acceptable to others...
...
Watching Ender's bridge challenge live broadcast were not only the Genius and Immortal who went to the Tongtian Bridge Plane, but also some Universe Venerable who watched the live broadcast in their exclusive spaces or palaces through their own permissions.
"Interesting. King Verdant End was also Ender's disguise. So, him killing a King-level Immortal was something that happened ten thousand years ago."
"So Ender is King Verdant End. I remember hearing that King Verdant End had a human Palace Master teacher in the Hong Alliance, but I never heard of any of our human Palace Masters taking on new Disciples."
"Haha, my luck with gambling is indeed good. I thought about betting on an underdog to win big, and I really did bet correctly. It's a pity I didn't bet much back then, otherwise I could have made a huge profit."
"I originally thought that with Kedi's Law Comprehension on the tenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge after thirty years in Primal Chaos City, even if he Cultivated both Time and Space Law, he could still suppress Ender, but I didn't expect..."
"Ling Tu made a fortune this time. Many people initially thought Ender was his Disciple, and he also placed a heavy bet on him. Perhaps in the future, he will obtain wealth equivalent to multiple Heavy Treasures."
As the Universe Venerable watching the live broadcast muttered to themselves, Ender had already passed the 18th and 19th floors of the Tongtian Bridge and was continuing to fly towards the 20th floor.
...
At the end of the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
A winding bridge surface came from the Void, extending towards the endless darkness beyond.
From the 19th floor of the Tongtian Bridge onwards, the 20th and 21st floors are both black hole environments, sequentially being the black hole edge, the black hole periphery, and the true black hole.
Ender flew along the bridge surface to the end of the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist..." A deep voice emanated from the surrounding endless darkness.
"Warrior," Ender said.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a large number of black dots floated out from the endless darkness, then quickly condensed into a human figure above the bridge surface.
He wore black armor, a black mask, and held a black long spear in one hand, as if he had merged with the surrounding black hole environment.
"Begin."
Ender still didn't give the black armored man a chance to speak, the difference being that this time he made the first Move.
Buzz!
As ripples appeared in space, Ender, clad in silver battle armor, appeared behind the black armored man, and the dark green long spear smashed down fiercely!
"Space Teleportation! Space Lockdown!"
The black armored man was somewhat surprised. Trapped and unable to teleport, he could only use his long spear to block.
Boom!
The black armored man was sent crashing onto the bridge surface with a single strike, and then he was met with a continuous barrage of attacks like a furious storm, leaving him only able to parry and unable to counterattack.
...
On the beautiful island square.
As Ender continuously passed through multiple floors of the Tongtian Bridge, the number of Genius Immortal in the square grew steadily.
"How many floors has His Highness Ender reached on the Tongtian Bridge? How can he still leave the guardian unable to fight back!"
"This is the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge! How can the guardian be so weak? The fourth-floor guardian of the Tongtian Bridge can easily defeat me. Did I challenge a fake Tongtian Bridge?"
"As expected of a Genius powerhouse who can impersonate King Void River, Ender not only comprehended the two profound mysteries of Space Teleportation and Space Lockdown, but his offensive secret techniques are also incredibly powerful."
"Having Cultivated for less than twenty thousand years, he has already comprehended two profound mysteries in his Space Law Comprehension. It is estimated that he will be able to comprehend the Space Strangulation profound mystery even as a World Master. In the future, he only needs to integrate the three great profound mysteries into one to comprehend the complete Space Law."
"Comprehending complete Space Law is not that simple. Who knows how many Limit stage King and Invincible stage King-Level powerhouses are stuck at the last step."
Among the crowd of Genius Immortal, Nineteen looked up at the light screen in the sky. Seeing Ender defeat the 20th floor guardian in the light screen, his eyes revealed admiration and reverence.
"Brother Eleven is too strong! Having Cultivated for less than twenty thousand years, his Law Comprehension has already reached the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge, extremely close to a Universe Venerable!"
As a newly promoted Huge Axe Secret Realm member of the Huge Axe Dojo, he deeply understood what it meant to have Law Comprehension reaching the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge. His teacher, King Aurora, also had Law Comprehension at the 20th floor.
The difference was that his teacher, King Aurora, was the Lord of Ganwu's foremost general, and had already been a Limit stage King powerhouse close to being Invincible stage King-Level countless years ago. Yet now, Ender had not only caught up in Law Comprehension, but his actual combat power had even surpassed his teacher, which made his admiration even stronger.
Nineteen secretly cheered himself on, "I also have to keep working hard. When Brother Eleven becomes an existence like a Universe Venerable in the future, I also want to become Brother Eleven's foremost general, just like my teacher!"
...
The 21st floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
Endless darkness, utterly silent.
The bridge surface continuously extended into the depths of darkness, and Ender flew along the bridge surface with an expressionless face.
"The 21st floor of the Tongtian Bridge represents complete Space Law."
He silently thought, "Although I survived a Universe Venerable's attack on Aurora Radiance Continent, that was achieved under various contributing factors."
"The Tongtian Bridge competes in Law Comprehension, amplitude, Soul will, and secret techniques."
"In terms of Law Comprehension of the Beast God Path, I might not be inferior to a Universe Venerable, but in Space Law, I'm far from it!"
Ender secretly thought, "Without comprehending complete Space Law, it's difficult for an Immortal to achieve a major Breakthrough in strength!"
Pinnacle stage King-Level Immortals, Limit stage King-Level immortals, and Invincible stage King-Level existences are all only on the 20th floor. Their Aptitude, talent, and Comprehension Ability might differ significantly, and external resources and treasures might differ even more, but none of them can take that final step.
The reason is that comprehending complete Space Law is too difficult!
Even with extremely high attainment in the Beast God Path, without becoming a Universe Venerable, it is difficult to achieve a huge Breakthrough in strength, and their strength is often just enough to overpower ordinary Universe Venerable.
Ender's speed slowed. Ahead was the end of the 20th floor of the Tongtian Bridge, where he could see a sphere more than two meters in diameter. The space around the sphere was completely twisted and shattered, with a large number of spatial fragments circling around it.
"Is this a real black hole?"
Ender looked at the sphere that seemed to be more than two meters high. Because it was just a background environment, he couldn't feel any gravitational pull from the black hole, nor would he be deprived of light by it.
True black hole celestial bodies cannot be seen with the naked eye. In the Earth era, there was still debate about the definition of a black hole.
But in the Universe, it had long been clarified.
It is a super-dense celestial body that has collapsed and compressed to the extreme, much denser than a neutron star, formed from the evolution of some super-massive stars in the Universe. It devours everything that approaches it, such as spaceships, planets, meteorites, stars, and all other celestial bodies, constantly strengthening itself.
Black holes also vary in power. The stronger the black hole, the larger its affected area. Even low-level black holes... require Universe Venerable strength to stand at their core.
If they are some super-strong black holes, most Universe Venerable also have to avoid them, as a slight carelessness could lead to the risk of falling.
"Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist. Choose one, defeat them, and you can pass the 21st floor and become a Universe Venerable." A deep voice emanated from the black hole celestial body.
"Warrior."
Ender spoke first, then silently thought, "Let me see just how powerful complete Space Law truly is."
Whoosh!
Above the black hole, a large number of black dots suddenly floated and condensed into a human figure. He wore black battle armor, a black mask, and held a black long spear.
The black armored man stood above the black hole celestial body and bowed elegantly, "Your Highness Ender, it is my honor to meet a World Master challenger."
"I must remind Your Highness that without comprehending complete Space Law, you cannot pass my challenge."
The black armored man's demeanor was elegant, "However, I will let Your Highness experience the power of complete Space Law and understand the difference between partial Space Law and complete Space Law."
"Your Highness, please make your Move. If I make the first Move, Your Highness will have no chance."
Ender nodded, "Good."
Challenging the Tongtian Bridge was different from the outside world. He didn't have 2,048 times the life gene, and his body couldn't withstand the power of complete Space Law, so he had to make the first Move.
"I don't even know how strong this Move is."
Ender slowly raised the dark green long spear with both hands, his expression gradually becoming sharp. Profound Wood-Space Fusion Laws gathered at the spearhead.
After Cultivating for several millennia on Aurora Radiance Continent, his Comprehension Ability in Wood-Space Fusion Laws had progressed rapidly.
In fact, he wasn't even sure where his Wood-Space Fusion Laws Comprehension stood on the Beast God Path, but he estimated it would definitely not be lower than the fourth level.
The fourth level of the Beast God Path, in terms of Law Comprehension, should not be worse than the 21st floor of the Tongtian Bridge. After all, Wood-Space Fusion Laws are even higher-level Laws than Space Law.
Although Ender hadn't spent a long time creating spear-type secret techniques with Wood-Space Fusion Laws as the core, with his Wood-Space Law Comprehension, even a rough creation would probably not be much weaker than the fourth Move of "Eternal Sky," 'Thunderbolt.'
Eternal Sky · Limitless Sky!
The dark green long spear, imbued with incredibly profound Wood-Space Fusion Laws, thrust straight out. Its power made the black armored man dare not underestimate it.
"Fusion Law, huh? Seal!"
The black armored man's expression was solemn as he pointed remotely at the dark green long spear, which was gathering terrifying power.
A powerful, invisible binding force instantly descended, as if possessing a power that could freeze time, acting upon the dark green long spear. Even Ender, holding the spear, was affected, momentarily frozen.
"Although Fusion Law is powerful, Your Highness Ender, your Move is a bit crude. Hmm—what is this?!"
The black armored man's eyes widened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Crack, crack, crack...
Space trembled. The power that seemed to freeze time only briefly affected the dark green long spear for an instant before being broken free by the terrifying power at the spearhead.
Whoosh!
The dark green long spear didn't tear space, but rather seemed to transcend time and space, directly piercing into the black armored man's body.
"Flash!"
The black armored man didn't hesitate, using Space Teleportation to dodge. He didn't dare to take that terrifying blow head-on.
Without delay or any spatial fluctuations, he instantly appeared behind Ender.
At this moment, the dark green long spear seemed to cross space and time, piercing through the afterimage the black armored man left behind.
"Kill!"
The black armored man turned and thrust his spear.
The black long spear pierced through space, and a smooth, pitch-black hole appeared. The black spearhead emerged from the hole, piercing through Ender's body and his core within.
At this point, Ender fell.
The challenge on the 21st floor of the Tongtian Bridge failed!
"Such high Fusion Law Comprehension. It's clearly not a very powerful Law application, yet it could break free from the suppression of Space Lockdown, forcing me to use Space Teleportation to dodge."
Watching Ender disappear, the black armored man's expression was solemn, "He's just a World Master, but this level of profound Fusion Law Comprehension, even among the Universe Venerable who have passed the 21st floor throughout history, none can compare to him."
...
On the square of the beautiful island.
Although Ender failed to pass the 21st floor of the Tongtian Bridge, it shocked many Genius Immortal present!
