In the first Trial Tower, the fierce beast ‘Blood-Furred Mammoth’ was utterly swept away, proving to be extremely weak.
However, as the trials progressed to the second and third Trial Towers…
The combat strength of the Blood-Furred Mammoths ascended to new levels repeatedly. By the time they reached the seventh Trial Tower, any single one among ten thousand Blood-Furred Mammoths could easily slaughter 99.99% of the million geniuses present! When ten thousand of them attacked in unison… it was truly a nightmare.
“Heavens! They’re all illusions!”
“Death God Bolan has gone berserk.”
On the screen,
Under the onslaught of countless frenzied Blood-Furred Mammoths attacking and trampling, a dense cluster of white-robed young men appeared in an instant. Each was incredibly lifelike, exuding cyan energy flows within a certain radius. Within this cyan energy flow, over a thousand white-robed youths seemed to form the absolute domain of this ‘Death God’ Bolan, enabling him to strike from any location.
Blades of swordlight flashed coldly!
Each strike seemed to tear through space itself!
Swift as lightning!
Each sword strike was so fast that even the gathered geniuses couldn’t follow with their naked eyes!
Evasive as the wind!
Each sword strike was utterly unpredictable, as if following no pattern at all!
“Thud!” “Thud!” “Thud!”…
Each strike pierced the vital points of the Blood-Furred Mammoths’ heads. Blood splattered repeatedly as one mammoth after another, each capable of rivaling the top 100 contestants, fell dead. Yet the other mammoths grew even more frenzied and coordinated in their attacks, their massive iron hooves trampling toward ‘Death God’ Bolan.
Precise! Incredibly precise!
One mammoth after another collapsed. This was ‘Death God’ Bolan, whose sword strikes were always fatal!
“Slash!” A tusk of a Blood-Furred Mammoth pierced ‘Death God’ Bolan’s arm, blood spraying out, and all illusions vanished at once.
“Hmph!”
The cold-eyed white-robed youth flashed a murderous glint, and his blood-colored sword pierced straight through the skull of the mammoth before him.
“Boom~~” Other mammoths rushed in wildly, trampling him underfoot. After suffering three heavy blows in succession, the white-robed youth was finally knocked flying and crushed beneath the stampede of countless mammoths.
Out of ten thousand Blood-Furred Mammoths, ‘Death God’ Bolan killed 5,612!
Just in the first layer of the seventh Trial Tower, he earned 561.2 million points, bringing his total score beyond ten billion.
However!
He still failed, failing in the first layer of the seventh Trial Tower!
…
“Heavens!”
Across the entire central plaza, the gathered million geniuses watching the screens exhaled deeply. The previous battle scenes of ‘Death God’ Bolan had completely left them breathless. His sword’s speed! His sword’s unpredictability! His sword’s ferocity! Combined with his exquisitely refined movements, all left every genius in awe.
“He failed.”
“What a pity!”
“The seventh Trial Tower is just too difficult. If it weren’t for ‘Death God’ Bolan, others entering would likely be trampled to death instantly by the surging Blood-Furred Mammoths.”
“He managed to slay more than five thousand Blood-Furred Mammoths, which implies he could single-handedly vanquish over five thousand elite warriors ranked among the top hundred?”
Though ‘Death God’ Bolan failed, his feat chilled the hearts of those present who had already broken into the top hundred and were certain to enter the core ranks of the Virtual Universe Company. The gifted siblings from the mysterious ‘Augustus Planet’, the Prince of Banka Star, the genius girl from the Mengluo Wing Clan, the savage youth Ronjun… all were staring at the screen.
“He’s too strong.” The savage youth ‘Ronjun’ clenched his fists, staring at the screen. “No matter from which aspect, he’s far superior to me. Against him… I couldn’t even withstand a single move!”
“Brother, no wonder the teacher said we have absolutely no chance of beating him. He… he’s just too strong.” The green-curled-haired girl with secret markings on her face, looking as if she were made of water, softly murmured. The green-haired young man beside her nodded: “Yes, Qianshui, I feel like… I couldn’t even block a single strike from him. I couldn’t possibly stop him.”
…
The strength of ‘Death God’ Bolan was awe-inspiring!
Ranking from 2nd to 6th were all at the first layer of the sixth Trial Tower. From 7th to 11th, they were at the seventh layer of the fifth Trial Tower. From 12th to 21st, they were at the sixth layer of the fifth Trial Tower…
But the 1st place was at the first layer of the seventh Trial Tower!
From the records, it was evident that the gap between second place and the rest was relatively small, with everyone closely matched.
Only the first place!
He had completely outclassed everyone by an entire Trial Tower’s worth of difference. That was an enormous gap!
…
‘Death God’ Bolan was expelled from the Trial Space. Now, only three remained within the ongoing trials—’Blood Blade’ Kandita, ‘Sword of Life’ Yifeng, and ‘The Madman’ Luo Feng!
…
Fifth Trial Tower, Fifth Layer.
Candita, the muscular bald man with two purple markings on his face, standing on the ‘Whirlwind Edge’, narrowed his eyes as he observed the newly formed scene before him—a large mechanical research base, its ground entirely composed of alloy. Standing upon this alloyed ground were 100 humanoid mechanical puppets, each eight meters tall and clad entirely in silver.
Mechanical puppets were combat weapons constructed by the Mechanical Race.
Each member of the Mechanical Race was an intelligent lifeform, capable of functioning as a control terminal. Each could form its own mechanical kingdom, with the ‘mechanical puppets’ being one of the combat units within this mechanical kingdom.
“Buzz!”
The 100 towering mechanical puppets activated their energy sources, their eyes glowing red as they locked onto the distant human—Candita.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The mechanical puppets instantly dashed forward like lightning, some even taking flight mid-sprint, all rushing toward Candita.
“Their speed is clearly far more monstrous than the mechanical puppets from the fourth Trial Tower!” Candita, riding the ‘Whirlwind Edge’, curved away in an arc to evade their direct assault. The best way to defeat the mechanical puppets was to eliminate them one by one. To confront them head-on would be sheer recklessness.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Invisible railgun projectiles launched from the mechanical puppets’ arm-mounted launchers. Railguns came in many specifications, with the highest speed reaching light speed. However, such railguns were extremely costly. Even within the Mechanical Race’s mechanical kingdoms, only the most elite units were equipped with light-speed ranged weapons.
The ranged attacks launched by these mechanical puppets were far from reaching light speed.
“I hate these ranged attacks the most!” Candita gritted his teeth.
As time passed, the battle grew increasingly brutal. Candita sustained injuries, while one mechanical puppet after another was destroyed, their chest armor shattered and control chips obliterated.
Boom!
A mechanical puppet’s iron fist came crashing down, narrowly missing Candita, who dodged just in time, causing the fist to slam into the ground, leaving a deep crater in the alloyed surface.
Iron fists! Leg blades! Railguns! Flames! Body slams!
These massive mechanical beasts were impervious to any psychic attacks. The only way to destroy them was through physical force!
“Crash!”
Badly injured, Candita finally failed to dodge an onslaught of incoming fists and was struck so hard he was embedded into the alloy ground, reduced to pulp.
Candita failed at the fifth layer of the fifth Trial Tower!
Final ranking: 28th!
…
At the same fifth layer of the fifth Trial Tower!
“Big guys, big guys, come on! Come at me!” A handsome purple-haired youth, ghostlike and swift as wind, danced among the towering mechanical puppets. The reaction speed, movement speed, and attack power of the mechanical puppets in this fifth Trial Tower were all set extremely high.
To dare to dart between these mechanical puppets was simply miraculous.
He was none other than ‘Sword of Life’ Yifeng.
This shy young man’s eyes were pure, filled with joy, as if dancing amidst life and death, without a trace of tension.
“Slice!” “Slice!”
Blades of swordlight brimming with boundless vitality flashed repeatedly, either damaging the puppets’ joints or piercing their vital points directly. He smiled joyfully with every strike, each move dazzling to behold.
Yifeng was born into the royal family of the Gulong Cosmic Nation. The royal family of the Cosmic Nation had multiplied countless times over billions of years. Being of royal blood brought little advantage. Wealth and status were still earned through personal effort. However, since childhood, a neurological disorder had left his lower body paralyzed, with only his upper body functioning normally.
Even with advanced technology capable of altering bloodlines and replacing organs…
The brain, however, was the core housing the soul, and could not be replaced without creating an entirely new person. As for ‘soul transference’, he lacked both the ability and the support to undergo such a process.
Seated in a wheelchair since childhood, he watched other young members of the royal family undergo unified training. Unable to suppress his longing, he obtained the royal family’s most basic cultivation secret technique. According to others, perhaps through this cultivation method, his body might heal itself naturally, possibly curing his condition.
He practiced persistently. Since he couldn’t control his lower body, he used only his upper limbs.
Again and again, he wielded the sword.
The sword became the vessel of his longing, his understanding of life! His swordsmanship reached incredible heights, drawing the attention of the royal family’s elders. Eventually, an immortal being was personally dispatched to assist him, enabling him to finally stand and control his lower body freely.
He stood!
After decades of paralysis, he cherished the sensation of running freely. He dashed repeatedly, executing movements and wielding his sword, laughing joyfully…
His swordsmanship led him into the Wood Elemental Law!
His movements led him into the Wind Elemental Law!
Crossing the threshold of two elemental laws elevated his status within the royal family to an extraordinary height. Though he held high rank, he remained the same shy youth, his heart filled only with love for life and the wind generated by running…
…
‘Sword of Life’ Yifeng destroyed all 100 mechanical puppets, successfully passing the fifth layer of the fifth Trial Tower, and advanced to the sixth layer. However, the sixth layer housed ten ‘Cang’ star beasts. The ‘Cang’ were far more agile than the mechanical puppets, all having entered the realm of elemental laws.
After killing three ‘Cang’, Yifeng was defeated.
This shy young man halted at the sixth layer of the fifth Trial Tower! Ranking: 16th!
…
At this moment!
After ‘Blood Blade’ Candita and ‘Sword of Life’ Yifeng were expelled from the Trial Space, only one remained within the ongoing trials… ‘The Madman’ Luo Feng!
