The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315: The Last One Standing

Under the eyes of all the spectators, Chen Tongyue, dressed in black, raised his right foot and stepped forward.

Although it was just a simple step, it was powerful and forceful, causing the space to tremble. That piece of void seemed unable to withstand the power of this step. One could even see the spatial barrier nearly shattering.

In order to ascend the eighteenth immortal bridge, Chen Tongyue employed various means. His strength, comparable to an ordinary Great Ability, was displayed to the fullest at this moment.

However, he only managed to step toward the eighteenth immortal bridge and couldn’t even get within five meters of it.

At the very moment Chen Tongyue took this step, an indescribable terrifying will and power surged out from the immortal bridge.

This will was supreme and inviolable.

Upon the arrival of this will, all the energy around Chen Tongyue’s body surged and instantly crumbled. Whether it was Divine Power or various Domain Powers, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Chen Tongyue’s face turned crimson, appearing fierce and terrifying.

His eyes also turned blood-red. He clenched his fists tightly, slightly raising his head, seemingly unwilling to submit.

Yet, under the will of the immortal bridge, all his means were silenced. He couldn’t even muster the Divine Power anymore. He couldn’t possibly move closer to the eighteenth immortal bridge by even a step.

All around the venue, from one great hall to another, Martial Artists quietly watched Chen Tongyue on the immortal bridge.

At this time, everyone understood that Chen Tongyue probably couldn’t ascend the eighteenth immortal bridge. Chen Tongyue’s journey on the immortal bridge would end at this seventeenth immortal bridge.

This was already an incredible achievement.

At least, in the last millions of years on this immortal bridge, successfully ascending the seventeenth immortal bridge equaled the best record.

For millions of years, no Martial Artist had successfully ascended the eighteenth immortal bridge.

In fact, even looking throughout the history of the Immortal Bridge Meeting, there weren’t many Martial Artists who could ascend the eighteenth immortal bridge. The eighteenth immortal bridge was a watershed, a gateway for dragons to leap through.

”In the end... still failed!”

”Chen Tongyue is already very impressive. His strength can undoubtedly match that of an Average Master of Ten Thousand Gods.”

”Indeed! Even if he couldn’t ascend the eighteenth immortal bridge, he is enough to become renowned throughout the God Realm!”

When Chen Tongyue, dressed in a black robe, disappeared from the immortal bridge, the many Martial Artists in the great hall finally breathed out and began to talk.

Chen Tongyue disappeared from the immortal bridge and appeared on the venue below the bridge the next moment.

He stood on the venue for a long time without any movement.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly raised his head again, his gaze directed at the immortal bridge, staring at the blue figure on the sixteenth immortal bridge.

”Yan Jin, can you ascend the seventeenth immortal bridge?” Chen Tongyue softly spoke this sentence.

Failing to ascend the eighteenth immortal bridge, claiming that Chen Tongyue was not disappointed would definitely not be true. However, he did not harbor any thoughts of despair because of it.

As many Martial Artists were discussing at this moment, being able to ascend the seventeenth immortal bridge was already on par with the best performance in almost a million years. He was also confident that in the future, he would definitely become the Master of Ten Thousand Gods.

”Chen Tongyue’s journey on the immortal bridge has ended!” Kuai Rong looked at Chen Tongyue, who was not far away.

Wen Yan, Sun Zhao nodded.

”On the immortal bridge, only Yan Jin is left.” Kuai Rong raised his eyes again, looking at Jing Yan on the sixteenth immortal bridge, still in the process of birthing the fifth Divine Core Flower.

Jing Yan’s attempt to birth the fifth Divine Core Flower couldn’t be hidden from Kuai Rong and other Masters of Ten Thousand Gods. A breakthrough in the realm wasn’t like a domain transformation. A breakthrough in the realm released power very prominently. So, Kuai Rong and others were well aware that Jing Yan wanted to advance to the Nine Tripods Main God on this immortal bridge.

However, with less than five years left, Jing Yan still showed no signs of successfully advancing to Nine Tripods.

”If in these last few years, he can’t birth the fifth Divine Core Flower, then his journey on the immortal bridge will end here.” Sun Zhao also looked at Jing Yan and spoke.

”A Martial Artist at the Three Flowers Main God Realm managing to reach the sixteenth immortal bridge, isn’t that already rare? Anyway, I’ve never seen a Three Flowers Main God reach the sixteenth immortal bridge, except for this Yan Jin at this Immortal Bridge Meeting.” Kuai Rong clicked his tongue in amazement.

He meant that since he became a disciple of the Star Moon Valley Master, there hadn’t been a Three Flowers Main God able to reach the sixteenth immortal bridge.

”I am just like you, I’ve never seen with my own eyes a Three Flowers Main God reaching the sixteenth immortal bridge.” Sun Zhao lightly shook his head, agreeing.

Several years later!

”Still a little short!”

”Sigh...” Jing Yan opened his eyes with some regret.

He had stayed on the sixteenth immortal bridge for nearly ten years. If he didn’t ascend the seventeenth immortal bridge soon, he would be transported out of the immortal bridge.

His fifth Divine Core Flower still hadn’t birthed on the fifth Divine Core. Jing Yan could clearly sense that he was very close to birthing the fifth Divine Core Flower. If given ten more years, he had the confidence to birth the fifth Divine Core Flower.

However, this sixteenth immortal bridge couldn’t give him another ten years.

Jing Yan stood up on the sixteenth immortal bridge. His gaze slowly turned upward, looking toward the seventeenth immortal bridge, which was also where Chen Tongyue’s journey on the immortal bridge had ended.

”Yan Jin didn’t advance to Nine Tripods?”

”No! He couldn’t successfully birth the fifth Divine Core Flower!”

”Without advancing to Nine Tripods Main God, he probably can’t ascend to the seventeenth immortal bridge, right?”

”It seems it’s over. Chen Tongyue ended at the seventeenth immortal bridge, and so did Yan Jin at the sixteenth immortal bridge. He can also be proud. He went further on the immortal bridge than Zhan Fei and Hu Lin.”

In each of the great halls, many Martial Artists were watching Jing Yan on the sixteenth immortal bridge.

Even many Great Abilities were deliberately paying attention to Jing Yan at this moment.

For example, Wu Huo Ancestor and Emperor Dong Hua. They all purposely turned their eyes toward Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s inability to birth the fifth Divine Core Flower on the sixteenth immortal bridge was naturally clear to these Great Abilities.

In the great hall where Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign resided.

Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign let out a low, derisive laugh as he withdrew his gaze from Jing Yan, then shook his head.

”I thought this little kid could become a surprise by reaching Nine Tripods on the immortal bridge, but it seems I still overestimated you!” Zhi Ying Divine Sovereign said with a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.

He had previously decided that if Jing Yan could reach Nine Tripods on the immortal bridge, he would give Jing Yan a chance and take him as a direct disciple. But now it seemed Jing Yan was unlikely to birth the fifth Divine Core Flower on the immortal bridge and reach the realm of Nine Tripods Main God.
