Personal Disciple

Li Che had no idea what the Lord of False Gold and the others were talking about. After passing through the 18th level of the Sky Bridge, he had once again traversed a long distance and arrived in another vast starry sky.

The background of the starry sky is filled with endless, deep nothingness, with only a vast black hole floating there, devouring all the matter, light and energy around it.

As Li Che reached the end of the bridge, he heard a familiar, deep voice echoing from the surrounding void:

"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 19th floor."

"A martial artist." Li Che held the jet-black spear in his hand and spoke directly.

"Phew~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of black matter immediately began to evaporate from the black hole in the distance. The strange matter condensed into a figure, who was covered in black armor and had a black mask on his face. He looked mysterious and powerful.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Li Che, you have successfully passed the 18th level of the Bridge to Heaven at the Realm Lord level. Based on your current performance, you are definitely among the top 6 Realm Lord level geniuses in the Giant Axe Secret Realm."

The figure didn't rush to make a move; instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and bowed slightly to Li Che.

As the guardian of the 19th level of the Giant Axe Bridge to Heaven, he encounters mostly immortal gods as challengers, while those who successfully defeat him are often high-level king-level powerhouses.

Young geniuses like Li Che are extremely rare.

"Overpraise."

Li Che held a jet-black spear and calmly gazed at the gatekeeper of the 19th floor.

"Let's begin then."

The black-armored man on the 19th floor whispered, and after synchronizing his basic strength with Li Che's, he also conjured a spear in his hand that was exactly the same as Li Che's.

"Just a reminder, Your Highness Li Che, I have mastered almost the complete spatial strangulation and sealing techniques. In terms of comprehension alone, I am superior to you."

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-armored man thrust his spear forward, aiming straight for Li Che's head. The sharp spear unleashed layers of ethereal turbulence, enveloping the space where Li Che was located.

Li Che could sense that the spatial turbulence, shimmering with silver light, contained unimaginable destructive power.

The 19th level of the Bridge to Heaven represents a high-level King-level understanding of the laws. King-level immortals at this level are absolute powerhouses and are considered extremely transcendent beings within the universe.

Having successfully challenged the 18th level of the Sky Bridge, Li Che naturally felt no pressure. He simply wanted to see just how powerful the 19th level was.

Faced with such a strike that contained almost complete spatial strangulation and spatial sealing power, Li Che frowned slightly at first, but quickly relaxed. He raised his spear high and smashed it down on his opponent.

In an instant, the power of the world around Li Che surged, transforming into an incredibly realistic black hole around him. Within the black hole, raging spatial turbulence sealed and tore everything apart.

"The Return to Nothingness Form!"

This is the only move that Li Che has studied and researched in Chaos City for over four hundred years. It incorporates all the mysteries of the previous "Return to the Void" secret technique and is a masterpiece that integrates all of Li Che's current understanding of the laws. It is absolutely in harmony with him.

With this move, Li Che has already defeated 720 opponents set up for him by the Lord of Luhai. Although it is only one move, it is definitely among the top secret techniques.

Furthermore, the derivation of this first secret technique has not yet reached its limit. Li Che has never stopped improving over the years, and there is still much room for further improvement in his secret technique.

"boom!"

The thrust, containing almost complete laws of spatial strangulation and sealing, collided with Li Che's strongest secret technique. The spacetime around them immediately began to violently annihilate, causing the bridge surface beneath their feet to tremble slightly.

This level of understanding is indeed deeper than mine.

However, Li Che managed to block this attack with his unique Guixu technique. Although his understanding of the laws was insufficient, his secret techniques could make up for it.

"Your self-created martial art is quite impressive, Your Highness!"

Even Li Che's opponent was slightly taken aback by this scene, and his voice was filled with emotion.

But the next moment, the opponent's spear suddenly changed direction. He used an equally exquisite combat technique, and the spear was still aimed directly at Li Che's head.

"kill!"

Upon seeing this, Li Che immediately engaged his opponent.

The battle between the two lasted only a few dozen moves before Li Che was completely suppressed. The opponent on the 19th floor not only possessed the laws, but as a powerful expert at the King level, he also mastered a top-level secret technique. The combination of the two made his combat power soar to a terrifying level.

Despite his best efforts, Li Che only managed to exchange a few hundred blows with his opponent before being pierced by a sharp spear and his entire body was shredded into a bloody mist.

"Buzz!"

At the moment of death in the virtual universe, Li Che felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Instead of resurrecting immediately, he exited the virtual universe and stood up in his original universe.

He took a deep breath and stretched out on the balcony. Although he failed, he felt the pent-up frustration finally dissipate.

Becoming a disciple of the Lord of the Universe was a crucial step in Li Che's early rise to power. Now that he had completed the trial of becoming the Lord of Void Gold's personal disciple, it was a testament to the hard work he had put into his cultivation over the years.

Next, I need to focus on cultivation for a period of time, converting all my talents into combat power. Then, I should choose a sufficiently powerful clone, and that should be enough to break through to the immortal level...

He pondered silently, knowing that with the help of a cosmic ruler, he would at least not lack start-up capital.

Li Che knew very well that the Lord of Void Gold was not the Lord of Chaos City. Although this Lord of the Universe was not known for his domineering and protective nature, he was not stingy with his own disciples.

"brush!"

As Li Che was deep in thought, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards him from afar. The figure quickly arrived downstairs at Li Che's residence and, in a flash, was already standing on the balcony.

It was none other than the third disciple of his senior brother, Venerable Fiery Erosion, the werewolf immortal Eternal King.

Upon their first meeting, this immortal patted Li Che forcefully on the shoulder, his wolfish mouth revealing a grotesque grin:

"Hahaha! Congratulations, Junior Uncle, on passing the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge! You are now considered a senior figure in our Void Gold lineage!"

Li Che remained silent.

Thinking about it, it's true. I am now considered a disciple of a great fourth-order universe master, and my status among the many disciples and grand-disciples of the Void Gold Master can be said to have reached the first tier in one step.

"Come, come, Junior Uncle, I'll take you to Grandmaster's palace right now. He wants to see you immediately!"

Yongbo Wang placed his hairy hand on Li Che's shoulder. As soon as he finished speaking, he teleported with Li Che and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
