Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge, eleventh level.
Below the bridge body was glowing crimson magma, with wisps of light smoke rising from it, and the scorching high temperature distorted the air.
Amidst the red, glowing heat, Ender transformed into a black streak of light, flying towards the end of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.
"Thirteen is truly too reckless!"
According to the original plan, Ender was to wait until he had fully comprehended all the essences of the Space Law, and his comprehension of the Law reached the twelfth level, before attempting the Tongtian Bridge.
However, Thirteen's rash act of Possessing the Flame Star Beast left him with a pent-up frustration. Desperate for an outlet, he disregarded his previous plans and immediately came to challenge the Tongtian Bridge!
At the end of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, the glowing crimson magma below the bridge body trembled slightly, and at the same time, a rumbling sound emanated, "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the eleventh level."
"Warrior!" Ender said directly.
Rumble... The glowing crimson magma churned and trembled, and countless earthy yellow lights flew out from all directions of the magma, quickly gathering in the air.
In an instant, a masked figure appeared, clad in earthy yellow battle armor, wearing arm shields and claw-like weapons.
"A Universe Level Ninth Order coming to challenge the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge—it has been a long time since such an outstanding junior has been seen," the yellow-clad man's low voice resounded.
Whoosh!
Ender did not reply. With a stern expression, his figure merely flickered, instantly streaking through the scorching space like a black lightning bolt. Terrifying Law power gathered on his sinister black gauntlets, striking directly at the yellow-clad man.
"Such an impolite junior."
Facing the sudden attack, the yellow-clad man's figure flickered, attempting to dodge the assault.
Whoosh!
The yellow-clad man dodged and retreated, but Ender's attack speed was too fast, and his movement technique was unexpectedly good. The distance between them continuously closed.
"Hmm?!"
The yellow-clad man's expression changed slightly. "His speed..."
As the guardian of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, the yellow-clad man's Law comprehension, movement technique, and attack Secret Techniques all reached the lower limit of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.
Even with such a level, he was unable to evade Ender's attack, which immediately made him realize that the opponent's strength was sufficient to challenge the eleventh level, and even exceeded the average level.
Swish!
The yellow-clad man waved both hands, and two intersecting earthy yellow claw shadows appeared, carrying power that caused spatial fluctuations, attacking the incoming Ender.
Boom!
Facing the considerable attack, Ender neither dodged nor retreated. He sharply pulled his hands together in front of him, and two streaks of pitch-black light flashed past, his speed soaring even further!
It seemed as if space was torn, and desolate, dim rifts appeared. The earthy yellow claw shadows instantly disintegrated, and the power that caused spatial fluctuations was swallowed by the rifts, without causing any ripples!
Ender, whose speed had suddenly soared, charged before the yellow-clad man, his pitch-black, sinister gauntlets striking out continuously!
"What!"
The yellow-clad man was startled and quickly blocked with both hands. Amidst "clang, clang" sounds, he continuously parried several attacks.
Chirp!
Suddenly, it was as if an ancient Ferocious beast let out a sharp roar, its shriek shaking the Heart and causing the yellow-clad man's movements to pause.
Boom!
A claw shadow about two meters long appeared, striking down from the sky, as if it could shatter the earth with terrifying power, directly imprinting itself on the yellow-clad man's body.
Bang!
Receiving this blow, the yellow-clad man was slammed onto the bridge surface. The indestructible Tongtian Bridge remained unchanged, but an invisible shockwave spread from where he fell, temporarily dispelling the high temperature from the magma.
"Not good!"
The yellow-clad man thought it was bad and tried to flash away, but it was already too late.
Whoosh!
Ender's figure flickered. The moment the yellow-clad man fell onto the bridge surface, he had already charged before him, his hands continuously clawing out like the sharp claws of a Ferocious beast!
Clang—!
The incessant attacks, like a violent storm, merged the sounds of metal collisions into one. Ender's continuous offensive, like a Ferocious beast wielding its sharp claws, was occasionally accompanied by Soul-shaking beast roars, forcing the yellow-clad man to resist with difficulty... "What stimulated Ender?!"
"He's truly crazy! This is completely brutalizing the guardian!"
"Being able to brutalize the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge means his Law comprehension has exceeded the average level of the eleventh level."
"He's like a Ferocious beast! Is this the mystery of his affinity with the Beast God Path?!"
The Immortals watching the live broadcast of the Tongtian Bridge challenge in the island plaza, upon seeing Ender brutalizing the guardian of the eleventh level, expressed curiosity, exclamations, and doubts.
With Ender's level of Law comprehension, he could clearly defeat the guardian with relative ease, yet he chose to fight in a brutalizing manner like a Ferocious beast, which left them quite puzzled... "Is Ender, who is now like a Ferocious beast, venting his anger?"
"Ender's Heart seems to have issues. He could easily defeat the guardian but still chose to brutalize him. Hmm... continuous observation is needed."
"Beast God Artistic Conception? He has learned the Secret Technique to use the Beast God Artistic Conception?!"
Unlike the Immortals, the Universe Venerables watching the live broadcast from their respective palaces were more concerned with Ender's current state and the fighting style he displayed... Tongtian Bridge.
Chirp!
A roar like an ancient Ferocious beast sounded, its sharp shriek shaking the Heart.
At the same time, as if tearing space, a pitch-black claw shadow appeared, tracing an arc in the air, striking towards the yellow-clad man's head.
Crack!
After being brutalized for nearly half a minute, the yellow-clad man's head finally shattered, transforming into a sky full of earthy yellow light, returning to the glowing crimson magma below the Tongtian Bridge body.
Rumble... The end of the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge vibrated. The glowing crimson magma below the bridge body disappeared amidst the vibrations, replaced by vast land.
"Hoo—!"
After killing the yellow-clad man with one blow, Ender slowly exhaled. The frustration in his heart had dissipated a lot, but he still felt a slight incompleteness; it hadn't completely vanished.
"Hmm... still a bit short!"
As his Law comprehension was insufficient to pass the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge, Ender didn't bother trying the twelfth level. Instead, he directly went offline and left the Virtual Universe... Seeing Ender pass the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge, the Immortals present, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but start discussing.
"He's not challenging further; he probably doesn't have the confidence to pass the twelfth level."
"It's a bit of a pity. I still wanted to see how far he was from the twelfth level..."
"Even if he doesn't challenge the twelfth level, Ender has already surpassed Kedi."
"That's just currently. Kedi hasn't challenged the Tongtian Bridge since he came out of Primal Chaos City. When he goes to challenge it, he might immediately overtake Ender."
"I used to favor Kedi, but now I can't say whose talent is better..."
As Ender surpassed Kedi in the number of Tongtian Bridge levels, the views of some Immortals shifted from supporting Kedi to being neutral...
Original Universe, Glory Secret Realm, Taas World.
Ender, who had logged off from the Virtual Universe, released the hundred-meter-tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree second branch tree and then his main body entered the World Ring.
On the vast land within the World Ring, the human main body sat cross-legged on the ground. After deactivating the "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body" Secret Technique, his body height returned to 238 meters.
This meant that even sitting cross-legged, he was over a hundred meters tall, like a small mountain on the ground, appearing quite shocking.
"More than a hundred years have passed since I last fused Blood River Crystals."
Ender's last Fusion of Blood River Crystals was during his Cultivation mission in the Blood River World. At that time, after fusing three Blood River Crystals in the Ancient God Ruins, he had never fused Blood River Crystals again.
"Now my body height is 238 meters, exactly a hundred times my past self. I should be able to fuse Blood River Crystals more easily."
As the body volume increases, the upper limit for fusing Blood River Crystals generally also increases. A human of normal physique reaches their limit after fusing a hundred Blood River Crystals.
However, with the increase in body volume, although the effect of fusing Blood River Crystals is still present, the coverage of the Blood River Power is very limited. Naturally, it cannot cover the entire body, and can only be fused in separate limb parts.
For example, fusing a hundred into the left arm, a hundred into the right arm, a hundred into the torso, and so on... "Before my body height increased, the secret patterns of Blood River Power were enough to cover my chest."
Ender removed his battle armor and Cloud Vine armor, exposing the skin of his chest.
"Blood River Power!"
Driving the Blood River Power, crimson secret patterns immediately appeared on Ender's chest. These secret patterns seemed simple yet were as one, and contained incredibly mysterious power, capable of doubling his affinity with the Universe Origin.
However, unlike the crimson secret patterns that previously covered his chest, the current crimson secret patterns only covered a small area of his chest. Although the overall area hadn't decreased, the covered area was significantly different.
"Although the God Tree in Taas World is a very remarkable Opportunity, comprehending the God Tree can greatly accelerate my Space Law comprehension. However, the essence of the Space Law left on the God Tree is not complete."
With a thought, Ender's Spiritual Force drew over a Blood River Crystal.
"Simply comprehending the God Tree cannot allow me to fully grasp all the essences of the Space Law. It also requires the Cultivation of the "Divine Tree True Solution" Secret Technique and normal comprehension of the Space Law in conjunction."
Ender thought: "Fusing three, ten, and a hundred Blood River Crystals are all qualitative changes, capable of increasing the affinity with the Universe Origin by one, three, and ten times respectively, which can greatly enhance my Law comprehension speed!"
Stopping the Blood River Power, he lightly drew a line on his chest with his finger, and a wound nearly half a meter long appeared. Traces of fresh blood flowed from the wound, but in the blink of an eye, the blood stopped, and even flesh began to cut in the wound.
"The body's recovery speed is too fast, which isn't entirely a good thing."
Ender reached out and grasped the Blood River Crystal, inserting it into the freshly made wound. Immediately, a wave of killing intent impacted his will!
He easily withstood the impact of the killing intent. The killing intent from fusing the fourth Blood River Crystal was still unable to shake his will.
Soon, Ender opened his eyes, looked down at the healed wound on his chest, and then activated the Blood River Power!
Crimson secret patterns appeared on his chest. Compared to before, there were more crimson secret patterns, and at the same time, he could sense that his affinity with the Universe Origin had increased by more than one time. Fusing the fourth Blood River Crystal had slightly boosted the effect.
"Next, the fifth one."
At this moment, Ender was very calm. The frustration caused by Thirteen's reckless Possession of the Flame Star Beast, what little remained, had been submerged by the killing intent experienced during the Fusion of Blood River Crystals.
Stopping the Blood River Power, he again cut a wound on his chest, pressing the fifth Blood River Crystal into the wound for intimate contact with his flesh.
Boom!
A killing intent significantly stronger than when fusing the fourth one surged from the fifth Blood River Crystal at the wound, continuously impacting and eroding his will.
However, with Ender's current will, the fifth Blood River Crystal was also successfully fused with ease. Then came the Fusion of the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth ones!
When he reached the ninth Fusion, Ender couldn't help but let out a groan. His eyes became somewhat crimson, and the impact of the killing intent honed his will.
However, this was still within his tolerance. After persisting for a while, he successfully fused the ninth Blood River Crystal.
"I felt strained when fusing the ninth one, but with my will, I should be able to withstand the killing intent impact of the tenth Blood River Crystal."
His Life Gene level was 128 times the normal gene, and his body height was 238 meters. With such excellent physical conditions, as long as his will could resist the impact and erosion of the killing intent, he would be able to successfully fuse the tenth Blood River Crystal.
"Next, is the crucial tenth Blood River Crystal."
Fusing ten Blood River Crystals means becoming a Blood Warrior of Blood River Crystals. Once the Blood River Power is activated, the affinity with the Universe Origin will increase by three times, and both Law comprehension and Law attack power will see a significant boost.
With a light swipe of his finger, a deep wound immediately appeared on Ender's chest. Then, he inserted the tenth Blood River Crystal into the wound.
Boom!
With each fused Blood River Crystal, the killing intent accumulated. The moment he began fusing the tenth Blood River Crystal, an even more frenzied killing intent surged into his Sea of Consciousness, clashing with his will!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Shouts of battle and roars filling the heavens and earth resounded in Ender's Sea of Consciousness. That incredibly ferocious and tyrannical will clashed with his will again and again!
"Ah!!!"
Ender, who had fallen to the ground, clenched his teeth tightly, his body involuntarily convulsing. His hands were clenched into fists, and the immense grip made his knuckles turn white.
"This pain already surpasses Cultivating 'Eye of Distortion'!"
The intense pain from fusing the tenth Blood River Crystal caused sweat beads to continuously roll down his forehead, and he couldn't help but pound the ground with his fists, "bang, bang"!
And this intense pain also acted upon his Soul. This caused the Gu Yu Ancient Tree main tree and first branch tree in the Primal Secret Realm estate, and in the World Ring respectively, to tremble violently, with the rustling of leaves and branches continuously shaking!
At the same time, in the courtyard of Taas World, the hundred-meter-tall second branch tree also shook violently amidst rustling sounds, even causing a certain degree of tremor within several kilometers of the courtyard!
In the World Ring.
Ender pounded the ground, "bang, bang," his body constantly changing. At times, faint golden scales would appear, and at other times, his flesh would become pitch-black and unusually hard.
After a long while, until his body returned to normal, the faint golden scales and pitch-black flesh no longer appeared, and the intense pain also vanished.
"Hoo!"
After a long time, Ender recovered from the intense pain. After exhaling a turbid breath, he began to activate the Blood River Power.
Crimson secret patterns emerged. Unlike the simple secret patterns from fusing three Blood River Crystals, the crimson secret patterns after fusing ten Blood River Crystals and becoming a Blood Warrior were incredibly complex and perfect, forming a completely unified whole!
Not only that, these crimson perfect secret patterns also covered his torso, a significant difference from before when they only covered a portion of his chest.
And while activating the Blood River Power, Ender could clearly perceive that his affinity with the Universe Origin had reached three times. From now on, whether it was comprehending Laws or the power of Law attacks, both would be enhanced by three times!
"This is the power of a Black Warrior..."
