Chapter 48

: An overwhelming victory

In the Tongtian Bridge dimension, Li Che didn't wait long at the port before a burly human youth was teleported out. The cosmic-level little guy was stunned for a moment before realizing his failure.

Then, he sighed softly, bowed slightly to Li Che, and disappeared from the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

Crossing the Heavenly Bridge is no easy task, whether for the emerging geniuses within the clan or for the established powerhouses.

This kid looks familiar; I think he was fifth or sixth in this peak genius battle...

Watching the cosmic-level little guy disappear, Li Che smiled. He took a step and vanished from his original spot, appearing in another independent virtual space.

It was a vast space shrouded in mist and fog, with all kinds of decorations exactly the same as the details of the Tongtian Bridge that Li Che had seen from the Tongtian Bridge plane, except that he had now become a bridge crosser instead of an observer.

Li Che strode forward on the bridge. A moment later, his path was obscured by a fog, and a rumbling wave of will entered his ears.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent you like. Defeating your opponent will allow you to pass the first level."

"A martial artist!" Li Che said without hesitation.

"brush!"

Immediately, a ball of black liquid flew out from the clouds and transformed into a mysterious figure wearing a pitch-black mask. He stood domineeringly in the way ahead, holding a pitch-black iron rod, which was surrounded by a faint glow of earth and spatial laws.

His world power, genetic level, physical strength, etc., are exactly the same as Li Che's now.

"Let the battle begin!"

The figure's voice was deep and resonant. As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Li Che to be ready, he suddenly charged towards Li Che, his iron rod like a dragon in a raging tide, tearing at Li Che.

In response, Li Che simply dodged lightly, creating a near-real spatial afterimage. He effortlessly evaded the domineering blow, then transformed his palm into a blade, striking the mysterious man on the back of the head.

"puff!"

The head exploded instantly.

First level of the sky bridge, passed!

The next moment, Li Che felt the thick fog in front of him instantly dissipate, and a more beautiful and wider road appeared before him.

Without hesitation, he continued forward, and with the speed of a Realm Lord, he arrived at the end of the mist again in a short time.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent you like. Defeating your opponent will allow you to pass the second level."

Same voice, same question.

"Warrior!"

Li Che remained undeterred.

A mass of black liquid reappeared, wriggling and transforming into a burly figure wearing a black mask, the earth and space primordial laws flowing from the iron rod in his hand growing ever stronger.

Li Che continued forward, raised his palm, and chopped down.

"puff!"

The mysterious figure's head was once again severed and blown off.

Second level, passed!

"Ugh!"

Li Che sighed softly, exerted force with his feet, and suddenly rushed towards the front of the Tongtian Bridge.

The opponents in the early stages of the Tongtian Bridge were too weak. He needed stronger opponents, but due to the rules, he had to go through the process.

A few minutes later, on the Tongtian Bridge, Li Che raised his hand again and shattered his opponent on the third floor with a palm strike.

Then came the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors...

Each time he arrives at a new Tongtian Bridge, Li Che chooses a martial artist. He carefully waits for his opponent to make a move to judge their strength.

Unfortunately, these opponents, originally intended for cosmic-level and domain lord-level beings, were far too weak for Li Che. Even with identical physical attributes, they had absolutely no chance of putting up a fight.

Li Che was like a god of death, striding forward on the Tongtian Bridge. No opponent could make him take it seriously. He didn't need weapons or armor; a single palm strike from him was enough to kill all his opponents.

Of course, he also clearly felt that his opponents were getting stronger.

In Li Che's own experience, every three levels the strength of his opponents on the Tongtian Bridge would undergo a qualitative leap. Especially after reaching the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, which was theoretically the threshold of the immortal god level, Li Che had to be on high alert.

Of course, it was only a little bit serious.

The tenth floor, the eleventh floor, the twelfth floor, the thirteenth floor, the fourteenth floor...

These five levels represent the stages that the Immortal Military Lords are at. To be able to occupy five levels on the Tongtian Bridge, where the division of strength is extremely strict, one can imagine the vast difference in the understanding of the laws among the Immortal Military Lords.

Immortal gods who have passed through the 10th level of the Bridge to Heaven are among the weakest in the immortal circle. They are usually those who have just broken through, with basic strength of about 100 times that of a peak world lord, low understanding of laws, and are also penniless, often unable to produce even a thousand Chaos Units.

Many of these immortal deities travel to the outer battlefields in an E9-class standard spaceship to enhance their strength and accumulate wealth in that brutal arena.

Those who pass through the 11th level of the Sky Bridge have basically left the stage of the weakest level of Immortal Military Lord. Although they are still not considered very strong, they have already entered the inner sanctum.

Those who reach the 12th level of understanding of the laws are considered to have reached a completely new level and become the backbone of the Immortal Army Lords.

Immortals at this level are military leaders widely recognized on the battlefield. They can lead large-scale cosmic legions to fight on extraterrestrial battlefields, or form immortal squads to explore and adventure on the outskirts of extraterrestrial battlefields.

Those who have reached the 13th level of the Bridge to Heaven in their understanding of the laws are already considered to have a very high status among the Immortal Army Lords.

Immortals who have reached this stage of understanding the laws have often accumulated wealth over a long period of time. They possess considerable wealth, complete sets of weapons, armor, and other supporting facilities, and have generally amassed a group of realm lords under their command.

At this level, military leaders can ruthlessly spend money to take control of a medium-level civilization in the universe, protecting the peace and stability of countless billions of people in a vast star field. Alternatively, they can join the five major powers and become the captain of the guard team for those core genius members.

According to Li Che's assessment, the two military leaders from his hometown, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, could barely pass the 13th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

As for those immortals whose understanding of the laws has reached the 14th level of the Bridge to Heaven, such immortals are already quite powerful. Many of them have already mastered immortality and can be called top-level immortal military lords.

Li Che speculated that Hu Yanbo's understanding of the laws was at the peak of the 14th level of the Tongtian Bridge or barely passed the 15th level.

However, given the same physical attributes, these opponents' level of understanding of the laws was nothing in Li Che's eyes.

He didn't draw his weapon, but instead used the profound principles of spatial strangulation to easily break through all of his opponent's attacks with punches, kicks, headbutts, and knee strikes.

He swept through the levels with overwhelming force and soon arrived at a new stage of the Sky Bridge, where he chose to challenge the opponent on the fifteenth floor.

According to the information from the Giant Axe Arena, the fifteenth level of the Sky Bridge is a dividing line within the realm of immortal gods.

Passing through the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge is one of the important criteria used by the five giants to judge whether an immortal is qualified to reach the Marquis level.

At this crucial level, Li Che finally took it very seriously.

In this battle, Li Che used his secret technique for the first time on the Tongtian Bridge. It was one of the boxing techniques recorded in "Black Hole Evolution," which Li Che then adapted and improved upon based on his own situation.

"Major Collapse Fist!"

"boom!"

With a single punch, the opponent on the 15th floor of the Sky Bridge had no chance to resist and was instantly crushed into nothingness.
