Peerless Genius

As Li Che ascends through the layers of the Skybridge, the scenery of this independent dimension constantly changes.

The sea, the sky, the stars, the constellations… Starting from the port in the vast ocean at the bottom, as it defeats one powerful opponent after another, this bridge rises all the way up, extending towards the end of the sky.

By the time they reached the 16th floor, the Sky Bridge had reached the interior of the planet Hengxing, a massive, eternally burning planet. Even though it was just a virtual simulation created by the virtual universe, it still constantly emitted terrifying heat, scorching the hearts of the challengers.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a mentalist controller, or a mentalist illusionist. Choose any opponent you like. Defeat your opponent to pass the 16th floor." The same ethereal and vast voice was unchanged from the 1st floor.

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

"brush!"

Suddenly, a ball of golden-red flames fell from the blazing star. The flames slowly wriggled and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a figure clad in crimson armor. He wore an intricate dark gold mask, and with a slight shift in his aura, he synchronized with Li Che.

"Truly impressive, going from level 1 to level 15 without any difficulty. A realm lord like you truly has a bright future."

The mysterious figure looked at Li Che, a smile seemingly appearing on its face beneath the mask, and said in a deep voice,

"On the 16th floor, my power is completely different from before. Be careful, even if you are strong, you may die at my hands at any time."

"brush!"

As he spoke, the mysterious figure's aura deepened, and the armor on his body spread out like flowing water. The armor was a deep dark red, enveloping the mysterious figure's entire body like a dragon-man mecha. A prismatic crystal was also embedded in his chest, from which dense, mysterious patterns spread out.

Behind that mecha-like armor, there was a thick, massive tail that created faint ripples in space with each swing.

"Nine Refinements of the Flame Crystal Body?"

Li Che was surprised. The aura of the mecha of the opponent on the 16th floor was too familiar. The book "Black Hole Evolution" recorded a body-refining secret technique called "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body", and its aura was extremely similar to that of the mecha.

"The Flame Crystal Divine Armor is a high-level divine battle armor personally designed by the Flame Crystal Kingdom Lord, the creator of the Nine Refinements Body. It is basically sufficient before you become an invincible king. If you are interested, you can check it out in the points shop."

The opponent on the 16th floor lowered his center of gravity, locked his aura onto Li Che, and said in a deep voice.

"Thanks for reminding me."

Li Che raised an eyebrow. He had also noticed a pattern: the higher the level of the opponent, the more they would show a desire to communicate. The opponent on the Tongtian Bridge must be an intelligent life form, very willing to communicate with the strong.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the dark, heavy Dark Sea Spear appeared. Over the years, he had not encountered any weapons that he particularly liked or were particularly suitable for, but a spear was enough to evolve all his combat methods.

"here we go!"

As both sides' auras reached their peak, the mysterious man let out a low roar, his aura becoming increasingly violent and ferocious. Countless illusory scales appeared on his body, which was covered by the Flame Crystal Divine Armor, and he charged fiercely towards Li Che.

The feeling was that the opponent had transformed into a monster carrying the stars on its back. Its speed, strength, and skills had all reached their peak under the blessing of the great power of the laws, and it crashed down on Li Che.

"This Flame Crystal Armor is something else!"

Li Che raised an eyebrow. He had to admit the power of the Flame Crystal Divine Armor. It was like a complete body-refining technique perfectly integrated into a suit of armor, making it extremely powerful in both defense and attack.

But that's still not enough!

"Collapse!"

He raised the Dark Sea Spear high, and the surging power of spatial laws spread out, condensing into a deep black hole in mid-air, carrying unparalleled power and laws as it crashed down on his opponent.

The pitch-black hole, carrying the power of the fundamental laws of earth and space, exploded with a muffled metallic clang the moment it came into contact with the Flame Crystal Armor. Layer upon layer of spatial collapse and immense power rippled outwards, making the Flame Crystal Armor seem to let out a mournful cry.

This is the power of the ultimate collapse of the laws!

"boom!"

Even though the opponent on the 16th floor was very strong, it was still sent flying by this blow. The dark red flame crystal on its surface was shattered, and its body crashed heavily onto the railing at the edge of the Sky Bridge.

"So strong!"

The opponent on the 16th floor of the Bridge to Heaven had already reached the level of a high-ranking Marquis in terms of his understanding of the laws and his mastery of secret techniques. Of course, he was not so easy to defeat. He rolled on the ground and faced Li Che with his limbs on the ground. The prismatic crystal on his chest throbbed, quickly preparing a new move.

"roar!"

The next moment, the opponent let out a deep roar like a giant beast. He suddenly disappeared from his spot and lashed out at Li Che with the giant tail of the Flame Crystal. Tens of thousands of dense tail shadows, each shadow carrying the power of the stars.

That's another top-tier combat technique recorded in "Black Hole Evolution"!

Without a doubt, even if a realm lord were to unleash this move, it would be enough to endanger the life of an immortal god.

"Guixu Town!"

Faced with the dense, indistinguishable whip shadows, Li Che remained calm and raised the Dark Sea Spear in his hand once more, the dark black hole phantoms rapidly intertwining.

But this time, something completely different appeared on the black hole—a vast and powerful sealing force that instantly imprisoned all the whip shadows in place.

"boom!"

The spear, imbued with the mysteries of spatial containment, swept across the battlefield with overwhelming force, shattering all the illusory images of the Flame Crystal Tail. The spear, containing boundless power, once again imprinted itself on the opponent, directly pulverizing the mysterious figure through the Flame Crystal Divine Armor.

"What a brilliant move!"

In the virtual universe, in the palace of Venerable Fiery Erosion, King Yongbo watched as Li Che killed his opponent on the 16th floor in two moves, and his eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed in admiration.

He had previously said that Li Che might stop at the 16th floor, but he never expected that the 16th floor would not be able to stop Li Che's progress at all.

This shows that Li Che's understanding of the laws has fully reached the standard of the Giant Axe Secret Realm, comparable to many high-ranking immortal gods.

"That move combined at least five sub-branches of spatial sealing, and its suppressive ability was indeed excellent." Venerable Fiery also clearly appreciated Li Che's second move. Just from that move, one could see that Li Che's understanding and application of the laws were very skillful.

"I can accept even more outrageous geniuses like this," Yongbo Wang laughed. "Teacher, I now think Junior Uncle can pass the 17th floor."

Upon hearing this, the Fiery Venerable, who sat atop the throne of endless black flames, glanced at his disciple and murmured:

"Of course, although Yanpolo's 'Black Hole Evolution' is not as suitable for him as the Black Light God General's inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect, with my junior brother's aptitude, passing the 17th level is not that difficult."
