Chapter 1191

In the Taichu Zone, Tianqi Zone, and Moshì Zone—the three major zones—many geniuses were startled awake, for at this moment they all received an email from the Warden Ba Fen, informing them that this year's specially recruited genius had already passed the third layer of the Heavenly Bridge and was now attempting the fourth layer; even geniuses engaged in leisure and rest could not help but halt their activities and head toward the Heavenly Bridge.

At the Heavenly Bridge, the crowd grew larger by the minute; many stared at the screen, eager to see whether Fang Yu could truly pass the fourth trial.

On the fourth layer of the Heavenly Bridge, Fang Yu stood upon the bridge's surface, when in the distance a dragon whirlwind appeared; from within it came a voice: "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, Illusionist—select any one, defeat them, and you may proceed to the fifth layer."

"Controller."

Fang Yu said.

As soon as his words fell, a figure flew out from the dragon whirlwind—clad in a silver-white robe, standing on a dark-cloud shuttle, bearing a dark-gold staff behind his back, his silver-white mask revealing eyes that gazed coldly at Fang Yu.

"Attack."

Fang Yu stood in empty space and spoke calmly.

"Take this!"

The silver-robed man pointed at Fang Yu, and from the dark-gold staff behind his back shot forth a dense swarm of golden tiny swords.

Indeed, the golden staff was composed of countless golden tiny swords; these countless blades hovered before the silver-robed man, while golden threads imbued with cosmic laws continuously drifted and connected.

One thousand six hundred tiny swords.

These one thousand six hundred tiny swords formed before the silver-robed man a structure resembling a grand array—complex golden threads interwove, covering the entire golden pillar with intricate patterns, like a totem pole.

"The fourth stage of the Yanshenbing—Great Skill Lies in Simplicity."

The several Immortal Kings watching naturally recognized this technique.

The Yanshenbing, a weapon commonly used by Controllers, at its fourth stage manifests a transformation: Great Skill Lies in Simplicity. This technique demands extreme mastery of space and the Metal Dao, requiring the fusion of the Sword Domain with spatial power—any movement carries immense force.

Once formed, a single strike can shatter mountains, trigger tidal waves in oceans.

"Take this!"

The silver-robed man growled.

Boom—

The massive totemic golden pillar rolled forward; as the golden pillar advanced, the surrounding space subtly compressed—now, as the totemic pillar rolled, it seemed to press against space itself.

The surrounding space subtly compressed; at this moment, the rolling totemic pillar seemed to press against space itself.

"It does have merit."

Fang Yu watched this technique—the fusion of the Sword Domain and spatial insight transformed into this rolling totemic pillar. Undeniably, it was an exquisite synthesis. Though it posed no threat to Fang Yu, a being of the Fifth Stage of Immortality, if a cultivator below the Third Stage of Immortality could comprehend such a principle, it would greatly enhance their combat power.

In short, this technique is ideal for training disciples.

If disciples of the Yuhua Sect could obtain this cultivation method, it would greatly aid their understanding of spatial laws, helping them break through to the Third Stage of Immortality—the Cave Heaven Realm—at the Wan Shou and Immortal stages.

But now, this technique faced Fang Yu…

Fang Yu simply unleashed the Great Cutting Technique; the silver-robed man, who controlled the fourth stage of the Yanshenbing—Great Skill Lies in Simplicity—was instantly cut apart, and the incoming totemic golden pillar was likewise sliced clean through.

"The Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Cutting Technique. If deeply comprehended, it aids cultivators in more easily understanding spatial laws. Of course, the highest level of the Great Cutting Technique—Soul Cutting—is an entirely different matter."

Fang Yu pondered.

The opponents of the Heavenly Bridge had given him no small amount of surprises.

At this moment, at the center of the Heavenly Bridge dimension.

"He passed the fourth layer effortlessly—remarkable."

"The Yanshenbing has nine stages, divided into three phases… Stages one to three form one phase, stages four to six another, and stages seven to nine yet another. But even if the Controller unleashed all nine stages of the Yanshenbing, I doubt it could withstand his cutting force."

"This is truly a delightful surprise!"

True Yans, King Long Yu, and King Tong Nan all watched the floating screen before them, their faces filled with delight.

Spatial cutting—this is a profound application of spatial primordial law. Under this cutting force, opponents are highly likely to be instantly obliterated.

"I heard he was specially recruited because he also comprehended some temporal laws."

True Yans suddenly spoke. "I'm curious at which layer he will use his temporal law."

"Temporal law…" King Tong Nan's eyes revealed a touch of awe. "I eagerly await his true form arriving at the Chaos City."

"I wonder if he'll continue to challenge the fifth layer?"

King Long Yu, the woman, gazed at Fang Yu in the distance, her beautiful eyes curious.

"He's moving! He's truly attempting the fifth layer!"

"Oh my god, is this real? A newcomer comes straight for the fifth layer? Without doubt, his name will be remembered by all who follow, and he will surely become a towering mountain before those who come after."

When they saw Fang Yu still attempting the fifth layer, many of the watching prodigies were utterly stunned.

They wanted to say something, but now, saying anything seemed pointless—because even most of them had not reached the fifth layer.

The difficulty of the Heavenly Bridge rises sharply; some trials cannot be passed merely through effort.

Yet now, this new arrival, this prodigy, was advancing toward the fifth layer.

Fifth layer: Passed!

Sixth layer: Passed!

Eighth layer: Passed!

The crowd was utterly speechless.

But Fang Yu did not continue to challenge the ninth layer.

Because his true body, after the Great Spatial-Temporal Teleportation, had now arrived at the virtual universe company's real-world headquarters.
