The Skeleton Chain sighed for a long time; finally, Zhou Leng spoke.

"Did you complete the trial?"

The Skeleton Chain paused, remembering the fear of being asked by parents about final exam results, and silently turned around to leave, continuing to search for its own suitable light footprint.

Zhou Leng sat by the bridge, "watching" the Starry Giant running map in his mind, slowly comprehending.

On the opposite side of the Ancient Star Bridge, the Planetary Ancient Bridge.

A group of bruised Demon Giants squatted at the bridge’s side like little thugs, lined up in a row.

"Are the giants in the universe so fierce?"

"The key is, the fiercest ones are all on the bridge opposite; here, we are just a bunch of weaklings. But even so, we can’t win."

"How many footprints did you collectively seize?"

"None of the high ones, none of the middle, only seized one of the low, and then went again, only to be knocked out."

"Then you’re quite lucky; I basically slept all the way through, getting knocked out every time I fought."

"How about Zhou Leng over there?"

Everyone turned their head, looking toward the Ancient Star Bridge on the opposite side, soon seeing Zhou Leng.

"Huh? Zhou Leng is done too, hahaha..."

"Look at him sitting there, what’s the difference from us?"

"Comfortably."

"But, he seems unhurt."

"His recovery ability is strong, probably used as a punching bag by those giants for fun, not even as well off as us."

"Layered Meat Mountain, what about you?"

Everyone turned to the strongest among the Demon Giants. Not only was he the Lord’s grandson, but he had also received massive resources before entering, his power advancing rapidly.

Layered Meat Mountain shook his head and said, "Only comprehended three times in a very low footprint. Harvest was minimal."

"Three times? As expected of you..."

"With your current power back in the Demon Purgatory, you’d definitely seize the Middle-Rank throne."

"You have patience, if it were me, I’d be grinning ear to ear. Even the worst Ancient Bridge inheritance is left by the Starry Giants..."

All demons looked at Layered Meat Mountain; he only smiled slightly.

The future of Layered Meat Mountain is boundless.

From now on, he is already the unshakable rising star of the Demon Giant race; the entire clan will pour massive resources into him.

Layered Meat Mountain gazed at the opposite bridge, saying, "After the Ancient Bridge, it’s the famous ’Dragon Slaying Mountain’, also the end of the vast ancient road..."

"The top geniuses will climb the mountain directly, slaying dragons..."

"And we will be thrown into the ’big ditch’ at the mountain’s foot, fighting bloody battles with other giants. Only a few victors will climb out, reach the mountain’s foot, and start the dragon-slaying..."

"Therefore, next, we must join forces in the big ditch, fight out a territory, striving to climb out and reach Dragon Slaying Mountain. Of course, if we can encounter Zhou Leng, we’ll settle him casually; if not, we’ll wait until we return to the Ten Realms."

Layered Meat Mountain planned with the demons for what comes next.

Zhou Leng quietly cultivated on the Ancient Bridge.

After a long while, he raised his head in confusion, looking around.

Everything seemed normal, yet he didn’t know why; there was a constant feeling that the entire cultivation process was extraordinarily long.

The time flow of this Ancient Bridge differed from the outside world.

It felt like months of cultivation, but the actual time seemed less than a day.

Then, he cast aside distractions, continuing the comprehension of the Starry Giant running map.

Occasionally, he’d comprehend the Sea Suppression Stele, which he obtained long ago.

Originally from the first Celestial Tier Trial reward, afterward met a mysterious person carving the Ancient River Jade Stele in the Ancient River Sect’s dream, whose marks were indeed similar to the Sea Suppression Stele.

Although comprehended many times before, only accidentally gaining insight into the Cosmic Tsunami, nothing else.

Now promoted to Martial Saint; perhaps a new comprehension could arise.

Besides the Starry Giant running map and Sea Suppression Stele, other giant inheritances gained from various light footprints needed repetitive comprehension, shouldn’t be forgotten.

These are genuine god-level powers, even if comprehension isn’t clear now, short-term seemingly useless, a waste of time at first glance.

But by steadfastly comprehending, upon breaking through a certain critical point, unimaginable harvest awaits.

Zhao Dongjun, a brilliant talent, spent over twenty years gradually comprehending the East Monarch’s Stone Wall.

After an uncertain period, a strange force disturbance interrupted everyone’s cultivation.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes.

The voice of the Starry Giant resonated in everyone’s ear.

"The journey on the Ancient Bridge, ends. Next is the final Dragon Slaying Mountain."

"Giants and dragons, eternal foes; Starry Giants likewise battled Star Dragons throughout the universe."

"On Dragon Slaying Mountain, are imprisoned numerous dragons; you will combat them, ascending higher on the vast ancient road."

"The stars, watching over at the end."

Just after falling, the Ancient Bridge collapsed.

Continuous shouts echoed around, many trial-takers’ feet cracked, plummeting below, even demigod powers couldn’t hold them in suspension.

Zhou Leng and the few others stood in place, unchanged, immovable.

A moment later, a faint light flickered, Zhou Leng and some giants appeared on a plain.

In front, a black mountain towered, straight up to the cloud sky, extending endlessly.

On the mountain, faintly visible are circular structures like arenas, densely packed, connected by roads.

Zhou Leng scanned the other trial-takers.

Around a million entered the Ancient Star Bridge.

But at this moment, standing here, there were roughly twenty thousand.

Mostly from the Ancient Star Bridge, a few from the Planetary Ancient Bridge.

Zhou Leng’s gaze swept across those trial-takers, recognizing many familiar faces.

The Celestial Light Giant, no one dared challenge.

A head like a black hole, the Black Sky Giant.

The golden shining Glory Lion.

Also, the Insect Giant defeated by the Witch Giant; upon seeing Zhou Leng’s gaze, he hurriedly nodded in salute.

The strongest middle-rank demigods of the vast ancient road trial rallied here.

Zhou Leng looked back; where the Ancient Bridge once stood, there lay a void.

Further back in the distance, climb Star Mountain was barely visible; certain giants were slowly ascending it.

Zhou Leng hadn’t seen Mountain and River Origin, Gold Li, et cetera. As expected, due to just being promoted to demigods, they lacked strength, still climbing Star Mountain.

No giants who had been with the Skeleton Chain could stand here.

Every group they belonged to governed a star domain.

In their eyes, the entire Ten Realms was just a small person’s private property.

Yet in this cosmic-level trial, they struggled to reach the forefront.

And, this was just the trial of the Giant Race and a few groups.

The voice of the Starry Giant resounded again.

"Now, everyone rests for a day, waiting for the dragon’s roar, to choose a path to the mountain."

Zhou Leng sensed his body.

Everything was normal.

Indeed, having spent the last moments comprehending the Starry Giant inheritance, the original fatigue and injuries have been repaired.

As he pondered, the Insect Giant approached.

"Hello, I heard people say you are Zhou Tian Jihan. I’m Insect Glory."

The Insect Giant sat down, sitting about ten meters tall, resembling a small mountain.
