Chapter 154: Luo Yuan vs. Space Venerable

Virtual Universe, Heavenly Bridge plane.

Luo Yuan was flying at a low altitude along the surface of a deep, boundless bridge that stretched straight into the starry sky. He had just cleared the 20th floor of the Heavenly Bridge and was now heading toward the 21st. With his invincible strength below the level of a Universe Superior, clearing the first 20 floors had been quite effortless for him, especially since Illusionists had the least impact on him.

The difficulty of clearing the 21st floor was comparable to battling a Primary Universe Superior. The guardian of that level directly utilized the complete power of either the Space or Time Laws to fight, which was terrifyingly powerful.

"I want to test whether my current full strength can put up a fight against a Superior!" A stunning battle intent flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes.

Arriving at the end of the 21st floor, Luo Yuan found that the background here was a super-large black hole, seemingly devouring everything around it and radiating an aura full of mystery.

"Challenger, you may choose any of the three: Spirit Controller, Spirit Illusionist, or Brawler as your opponent. Defeat them to pass the 21st floor and become a Universe Superior," a deep voice echoed from the black hole in the background.

"Let's go with the Controller!" Luo Yuan replied. He figured that the Controller should be the strongest option. He was just playing around this time anyway and didn't really expect to win; after all, for a World Lord to want to kill a Superior purely based on their own strength was simply too difficult.

"Hum~"

Suddenly, a wisp of gray mist appeared and instantly condensed into a human figure. It was a slender silhouette wrapped entirely in gray battle armor. The figure gave Luo Yuan a slight bow and spoke very politely, "Respected Your Highness Luo Yuan, hello. I am your guardian for the 21st floor this time.

"Your Highness should know that only by cultivating either the Time or Space Origin Law to the state of perfection can one become a Universe Superior. I have mastered the complete Space Law, having fully fused the three profound meanings of Spatial Teleportation, Slashing, and Sealing. Therefore, next, I will let Your Highness witness the power of a Space Superior!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow. Among the ten origin laws, space was the one he had mastered most deeply. He could already apply the three profound meanings of spatial teleportation, slashing, and sealing within a small range, but he could not yet teleport thousands of light-years in a single bound like a Space Superior, nor could he seal off an entire realm. He was quite looking forward to seeing the true might of a Space Superior.

"By the way, judging by your voice, why are you a female? All the ones I faced on the 20th floor were male," Luo Yuan suddenly asked with a mischievous smile.

The slender gray figure paused for a moment before explaining, "We are all virtually generated and do not have genders. Well then, Your Highness Luo Yuan, the challenge is about to begin!"

"Come on, I've already laid flat and accepted my fate!" Luo Yuan laughed.

The gray figure grabbed with her hand, and a giant gray sword appeared. This giant sword was composed of countless fragments, looking as though it might fall apart at any second.

Luo Yuan took out the Beast God Weapon. Under the control of his mind power, countless fragments also flew out, hovering densely in front of him. Law runes flickered on every fragment, and instantly, these fragments assembled into a beast god form several hundred meters long, charging frantically toward the gray figure.

The gray figure unhurriedly extended a hand and gently chanted, "Seal!"

Immediately, an intangible ripple spread in all directions, as if this patch of space had frozen. The beast god formed by Luo Yuan's Beast God Weapon also seemed as though it had been hit by a immobilization curse, stopping dead in mid-air and unable to move at all. However, he could sense that it was bound by the rules, stripped of its spatial movement permissions.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan also activated the spatial sealing he had mastered. Although his range was limited, it allowed him to move again. Then, the gray figure watched in shock as the "beast god," which had just been frozen by space, suddenly moved again. Although its movements were not as swift as before, closing in on her was well within its capability.

"What? You have also mastered spatial sealing? How is that possible?" the gray figure asked in a dazed tone.

"Don't be surprised. If we were fighting in the vast universe, I certainly wouldn't compare to you, but in this small space, I can still utilize the Space Law to seize some authority," Luo Yuan explained casually.

Hearing this, the gray figure said nothing more. She also manipulated her own mind power weapon, engaging it in battle with Luo Yuan's Beast God Weapon. Then, the gray figure suddenly executed spatial teleportation to assassinate Luo Yuan. Seeing this, Luo Yuan hurriedly used spatial teleportation to flee. Thus, the two of them played a game of chase on the 21st floor of the Heavenly Bridge—one running and one pursuing—causing Bafin, the steadfast keeper watching the big screen outside, to twitch the corners of his mouth.

"This, this, this... A Space Superior is actually chasing a World Lord all over the place, and can't even catch him? Am I hallucinating? This His Highness Luo Yuan has actually mastered the three profound meanings of space as well. Although it hasn't reached the stage of complete fusion, this is still too astonishing!" the keeper Bafin muttered to himself.

On the 21st floor of the Heavenly Bridge, after chasing Luo Yuan for quite a while, the gray figure, usually known for her polished manners, grew somewhat irritated and enraged.

"Spatial Freezing! Spatial Slashing!"

The gray figure suddenly unleashed both "Slashing" and "Sealing" at Luo Yuan simultaneously, followed immediately by "Blink"—Spatial Teleportation.

"You don't play by the rules! A dignified Space Superior actually using all three profound meanings of space on a mere World Lord like me!"

"Boom~"

Virtual space, Yuxiang Mountain Primeval Region, Ancient Style Manor No. 112.

Sitting in the study, Luo Yuan curled his lip. His attempt to clear the 21st floor of the Heavenly Bridge could be considered a failure, but he had managed to force a dignified Space Superior to use her full strength. That in itself was a rare achievement, and it had benefited him immensely, making his application of the three spatial profound meanings even more fluid and natural. He had not lost due to a lack of comprehension in the laws, but rather due to his realm. After all, at the same realm, the power unleashed when manipulating laws differs completely between a World Lord and a Universe Superior. Luo Yuan utilized world power, whereas the Space Superior utilized divine power.

"Beep beep beep~"

"Master, you have received several thousand emails. With your current clearance, you can view them directly!" the intelligent assistant Xiao Ba suddenly reminded him.

"Xiao Ba, sort them by email type for me!" Luo Yuan said.

"Understood!"

After a short while.

"Master, they have been sorted. A total of 3,658 emails: among them, 3,552 are alliance-seeking letters from various peak Sector Lords, 100 are congratulatory letters from various Universe Superiors, 5 are condolences letters from five Universe Masters, and 1 is an email from the Primal Chaos City Leader, which only you can view personally."

"Open the email from Teacher Primal Chaos for me!"

"Yes!"

"Luo Yuan, you have done very well. To be able to clear the World Lord-level Primeval Heavenly Mountain and the 20th floor of the Heavenly Bridge while still at the World Lord level, and even force a Space Superior to use their full strength on the 21st floor—your performance far exceeds my expectations and leaves those Universe Masters with nothing to say.

"I have already nominated you to the Virtual Universe Company's Human Heroes' Alliance (Virtual Universe Company's top-tier faction / Primordial Secret Region's higher-level organization translated as the Primordial Alliance), the highest authority organization of the human race, which requires at least being a Universe Overlord (or Sector Lord with Overlord-level backing / King-class Undying) to be eligible to join. It can be said to be the supreme combat power organization of our human race. The Primordial Alliance space is located in the highest plane of the entire virtual universe. I will have your second senior brother take you there to have a look when you get the chance. I hope you will continue to forge ahead and grow into a peak combat power and guardian of the human race!

"Primal Chaos."
