Chapter 1190: The Newcomer Fang Yu Is Too Intense!

"What? A new arrival has already passed the second level of Tianqiao? Who is this person? How could they be so powerful?"

"A prodigy recruited under special admission? Named Fang Yu? Even if he's incredibly talented, how could he pass the second level of Tianqiao right after arriving? Back when I tried to pass this second level, it took me three full years! And I was still considered a prodigy of the Tai Chu Secret Realm!"

"We must see this for ourselves—this Fang Yu, just who is he?"

Virtual Universe, Tianqiao Dimension.

The news that Fang Yu had passed the second level of Tianqiao spread quickly, and on this mist-shrouded beautiful island, figure after figure appeared.

Most of these figures were outstanding prodigies from the last Genius War and Strongest War, recruited into the Virtual Universe Corporation; naturally, they paid close attention to Tianqiao, for the more levels one passed, the more terrifying the prodigy's potential.

Even now, some among them had only passed three or four levels, none having reached the fifth.

Hum.

Three more figures appeared on the beautiful island—two men and one woman. The woman wore a deep blue long robe, her purple hair flowing elegantly; the two men wore white and black robes respectively.

Upon the arrival of these three beings, all the Virtual Universe Corporation's prodigies who had rushed over bowed respectfully.

For these three beings were all kings among the Immortals.

Planetary, Stellar, Cosmic, Domain, World, Immortal.

Within the Immortal realm, status varied greatly.

Ordinary Immortals could become military lords, commanding entire legions.

The stronger ones could be enfeoffed as marquises or kings—these three arriving beings were all supreme entities among Immortals, founders of sects who taught the next generation; everyone who met them must show utmost reverence.

"Hail, True Evolution King, Tong Nan King, Long Yu King."

Guardian Ba Fen also hurried to bow respectfully.

"Will Fang Yu continue to challenge the third level?"

One of the three beings, True Evolution King, spoke.

"Yes, True Evolution King—he has just reached the third level."

Guardian Ba Fen quickly replied, waving his hand to project the image of Tianqiao onto a screen—over ten meters long and nearly eight meters wide—showing a segment of Tianqiao and a mass of white mist, with Fang Yu standing upon it, gazing at the mist.

"It's about to begin. He looks confident. I'm truly eager to see his performance."

True Evolution King smiled faintly.

"Hmm."

Tong Nan King also murmured in response.

The three supreme beings all watched the screen.

They had all heard of the Virtual Universe Corporation recruiting a prodigy, and originally planned to observe later—but now this prodigy named Fang Yu had passed two levels in succession right after arriving, and they were all intensely curious whether he could pass the third.

If he could, without doubt, the Corporation had truly found a prodigy and must nurture him well.

The end of the third level of Tianqiao.

"I choose the Controller."

Fang Yu looked at the cloud of mist before him and spoke.

As his words ended, the mist coalesced into a black-robed man, bearing a black longsword on his back, masked, his cold gaze fixed on Fang Yu: "Want to pass the third level? Don't dream of it—you won't make it through this level!"

In the same instant, his black longsword flashed forward, aiming to slice Fang Yu into pieces.

The Three Thousand Dao, Speed is King—this black-robed man's sword speed had reached an extreme; ordinary challengers had no chance to resist and were instantly slain.

Yet in that instant, Fang Yu merely extended a finger—a single point. The Three Thousand Dao, Great Cutting Art, manifested as countless black threads, their serrated cutting force instantly shattering the incoming black sword into fragments.

Then, the black cutting threads surged forward, striking the black-robed man's body, which likewise shattered into pieces.

Third level, passed.

"This Fang Yu has mastered spatial control to such an extent? Excellent—truly excellent!"

On the central beautiful island.

The towering True Evolution King, the slender Tong Nan King, and the beautiful Long Yu King all stared at the live screen, their faces filled with shock and admiration.

"Spatial cutting force is indeed a terrifying power. To master such force means he has touched the very foundation of cosmic spatial origin—and among all the prodigies we've recruited throughout history, few have achieved this!"

"This cutting force has even inspired me. I cannot fathom how he came to comprehend this spatial origin—has he practiced some spatial secret art? His true body hasn't even reached the Chaos City yet, so he couldn't have studied the Nine Cosmic Chaos Steles or the Drifting Blood technique…"

All three royal Immortals wore expressions of profound astonishment.

The cosmic spatial origin's laws are vast and profound; fully comprehending them is nearly impossible. Consider the countless human beings born, growing, dying, cycling generation after generation—over ten thousand years, a million years, even ten million years—perhaps only one Cosmic Sovereign emerges.

To become a Cosmic Sovereign, one must be a Time Venerable or a Space Venerable—thus, fully comprehending the spatial origin's laws is unimaginably difficult.

In the Chaos City, the Nine Cosmic Chaos Steles, which record spatial secret arts, are the supreme cultivation path that directly leads one to become a Space Venerable.

The Nine Cosmic Chaos Steles are profound and unfathomable, consisting of nine diagrams: mastering seven allows one to become a Space Venerable and Cosmic Sovereign. The first diagram is the Raindrop, the second the Drizzle, the third the Downpour—each progressively refining the study of spatial origin. Later, the fourth is the Star Diagram, the fifth the Star System Diagram, the sixth the Galaxy Diagram; the seventh diagram—the strange, incomprehensible beast—represents the complete cosmic spatial origin.

Mastering the first seven diagrams allows one to become a Space Venerable and Cosmic Sovereign.

Yet neither True Evolution King, Long Yu King, nor Tong Nan King believed Fang Yu had obtained the Nine Cosmic Chaos Steles—the direct path to spatial Dao—so how had he comprehended spatial laws to the point of manifesting cutting force capable of annihilating opponents?

"Given his current mastery of spatial cutting, even the fourth level of Tianqiao may not hold him back."

"Tianqiao's difficulty increases every three levels. I'm also eager to see if he can pass the fourth level—if he can, we may truly have encountered a prodigy."

Long Yu King said.

"If he passes the fourth level of Tianqiao, how many prodigies will be left sleepless with envy?"

The three royal Immortals exchanged glances.

"He… he passed the third level? After years of guidance from Laoshide Sect, I barely passed the third level—how did he do it?"

In the Tai Chu region, a prodigy stared wide-eyed in shock.

"How is this Fang Yu so strong? He wants to challenge the fourth level? No way—I've tried the fourth level several times and failed every time! That black-robed man's speed is too fast—I'm instantly obliterated!"

"How can this specially recruited prodigy be so powerful? I was recruited thirty years ago too, but after thirty years of cultivation in the End Times Zone, I've only passed two levels—and that's already impressive. He just arrived and wants to challenge the fourth level…"
