From a distance, it didn't matter if it was the second bridge, the third or fourth, or even the eleventh bridge. All of them had illusory figures on them.
However, the further one went, the fewer figures there were. On the ninth bridge, there were ten figures. On the tenth bridge, there were only two. As for the eleventh bridge … there was only one!
Furthermore, the figures were blurry, and the further one went, the more difficult it was to see clearly.
Looking at the illusory figures, Wang Baole knew that … they were most likely the Dao Shadows left behind by the people who had crossed the bridge.
"After this," Wang Baole murmured, "this bridge … will also have a Dao Shadow of mine." With that, he transformed into a beam of light that whistled through the air.
Although the distance between the first and second Heaven Trampling Bridges didn't seem to be very far, the truth was that they were separated by an enormous distance. Furthermore, that distance contained the Dao of Space. Therefore, even with the level of Wang Baole's cultivation base, it took him several days to reach the second bridge.
As he neared, the second bridge became clearer before Wang Baole's eyes. Compared to the first bridge, the second bridge was significantly larger. It was several times the size of the first bridge, and at the same time, it was more majestic. Wang Baole, who was standing under the bridge, should have seemed insignificant in comparison. However, as he stood there, the aura exuding from his body seemed to be even more majestic than the second bridge.
That was because … he was different from all of the other cultivators who had come to the second bridge. Most of them had not reached the Heaven Trampling Stage, and had needed to use the bridge to complete the final step.
However, Wang Baole was different. His battle prowess was already in the Heaven Trampling Stage. What he needed was the blessing of the bridge to make his battle prowess even more powerful.
Therefore, as he stood there in front of the second bridge, Wang Baole's figure shook Heaven and Earth.
In fact, as he passed the first bridge and reached a state of perfection, his aura resonated with the second bridge, causing rumbling sounds to echo out.
"Extraordinary," he thought. In front of the first bridge, Father Wang, who was meditating with his legs crossed, raised his head and stared at Wang Baole. There was a look of admiration in his eyes. Beside him, a figure appeared.
She was also looking at Wang Baole in front of the second bridge in the distance. Her eyes were filled with concern, and then she turned to look at her father.
"Father … the second bridge …"
"The second bridge shouldn't pose much of an obstacle to him. It's not time for me to bestow upon him yet," Father Wang sighed and explained.
Even as the words left the father and daughter's mouth, Wang Baole stood in front of the second bridge and stepped onto it. As soon as his foot touched the ground, a droning sound filled his body. It was as if some invisible force were sweeping over him, as if it were checking to see if he was qualified to step onto the second bridge.
Divine will exploded out from the second bridge, enveloping Wang Baole's soul and examining it to see if his body, mind, and Dao were complete.
Wang Baole frowned slightly. He didn't like being examined inside and out. However, he was a guest on the Immortal Astral Continent, and this bridge was not ordinary. It was a sacred existence on the Immortal Astral Continent.
Although he didn't like it, Wang Baole suppressed the emotions in his heart and allowed the bridge to scan him.
But … as the bridge continued to test him, a repulsive force soon erupted from the second bridge. It gave Wang Baole the feeling that even though his body, spirit, and Dao were complete … he wasn't a cultivator from the Immortal Astral Continent, so he didn't have the right to step into the Heaven Trampling Bridge.
Amidst the repulsive force, waves of frightening explosive force were released from the second bridge, heading straight for Wang Baole's right leg that was on the bridge, as if trying to lift it up.
"Hmm?" Wang Baole raised his eyebrows. His right foot stood there like a boulder and didn't move at all. He turned around and looked at the figures of the Wang father and daughter in front of the first bridge.
"Senior, this bridge …" Wang Baole didn't finish speaking.
"What should we do if there are obstacles?" Father Wang's reply to Wang Baole was a calm voice under his deep gaze.
"Kill!" With one foot on the bridge, Wang Baole's eyes became sharp.
"If you don't agree, what should we do?" Father Wang asked once more.
Wang Baole didn't hesitate to answer. At the same time, his eyes became even brighter and he spoke once more.
"Senior, junior understands, but … junior didn't finish what I wanted to say. What I wanted to say was that if junior accidentally collapses this bridge … I hope senior won't blame me."
When Father Wang heard this, he began to laugh. His laughter spread in all directions and his expression was filled with joy. It was as if he hadn't laughed like this in many years.
"If you can do it, then it's fine!"
When Wang Yiyi heard this, she seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. Her eyes went wide, and she quickly grabbed her father's clothes. She wanted to say something, but when she saw that her father didn't seem to care, she hesitated for a moment and then said nothing.
As soon as Father Wang said the words "it's fine," Wang Baole's aura exploded out. He turned around, ignoring the repulsive force of the second bridge and its resistance. His right foot landed on the bridge, and he leaped up.
As he stepped down, the second bridge rumbled, and the repulsive force grew even stronger. It was like a wave crashing against the bridge. However, it didn't affect Wang Baole in the slightest. Even though the pressure increased, even though the explosive force was shocking, he continued to walk forward as if he were taking a stroll in the park.
With every step Wang Baole took, the second bridge shuddered violently. It was as if every step Wang Baole took was a form of suppression against it.
Cracks appeared under Wang Baole's feet!
At the same time, the repulsive force from the bridge erupted like a powerful pressure. Wang Baole, whose body, soul, and dao had reached perfection on the first bridge, felt as if they were being refined.
With each step he took, his aura became more and more majestic, more and more vast, more and more powerful!
In the end, the world rumbled and the entire Immortal Astral Continent was in an uproar.
When ordinary people crossed the bridge, they had to be respected.
When extraordinary people crossed the bridge, they had to be suppressed!
If you don't agree with me, then I'll suppress you!
If you block my dao, then I'll kill you!
What was carefree? It wasn't hiding from the world or compromising. Only with absolute strength could one be absolutely carefree!
This was carefree.
This was an immortal!
As the rumbles echoed, Wang Baole's figure became infinitely large and appeared in the sky above the Immortal Astral Continent. Everyone could see his body and the bridge below him.
At this moment, the second bridge seemed to be … a foil!
Even though it was unwilling, it couldn't do anything because Wang Baole's aura became more and more shocking. However, the second bridge didn't give in and continued to release repulsive force.
At this moment, the entire Immortal Astral Continent appeared in Wang Baole's divine sense.
This was the unique blessing of the second bridge, the blessing of divine sense, or more accurately, the blessing of will.
The larger the divine sense, the more information it would receive. The stronger the will, the more stable the mind would be. At this moment, in Wang Baole's divine sense, the appearance of the Immortal Astral Continent had changed.
The 72 domains had turned into 72 golden-armored giants that were solemnly looking at the sky. Inside each of the 72 giants were 8,000 universes that were rumbling as they rotated.
In each universe, there were 108 different ferocious beasts. At this moment, they were roaring at Wang Baole. To be more accurate, they were roaring and begging!
It was as if they had felt Wang Baole's divine sense and were begging Wang Baole to release them and set them free!
At the same time, the various cities on the Immortal Astral Continent trembled violently, causing countless cultivators to fly out from where they were and look at Wang Baole in shock. The ground trembled even more violently, and the illusory images of giant beasts appeared in every city, all of them crying and begging the heavens.
This scene was not unfamiliar to the cultivators of the Immortal Astral Continent. Soon, some cultivators exclaimed.
"Someone … Someone is trampling the heavens!!"
"I've finally seen someone trample the heavens once in my life!!"
"Who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
For the cultivators of the Immortal Astral Continent, although this was rare, it had happened several times over the years. However, it had been too long, so most of them didn't react immediately.
At this moment, cries of alarm soon spread across the Immortal Astral Continent.
Wang Baole didn't pay attention to the commotion on the Immortal Astral Continent. At this moment, he was experiencing how powerful his divine sense had become and how determined his will had become. He walked faster and faster and his aura erupted to a peak. His eyes shined brightly and he was about to let out a roar, but in the next moment …
As his foot landed, a thunderous rumble echoed across the Immortal Astral Continent.
The bridge had collapsed.
All living beings on the Immortal Astral Continent … became silent.
Everyone who looked at the sky widened their eyes and was dumbfounded.
Even the beasts that were begging suddenly stopped. Their eyes were filled with fear and they shrunk their heads back as if they didn't dare to make a sound.
Wang Baole scratched his head and guiltily looked at Father Wang, who was standing before the first bridge. He felt a bit embarrassed.
"Senior …"
"You really made it collapse." Father Wang silently pondered for a bit and then sighed.
As for Wang Yiyi beside him, she blinked and coughed, but she didn't speak.
