"See?"
"The power of the Falling Stars technique has started to weaken!"
As several Immortals sighed in amazement, Jiang Li stepped into the second Trial Tower.
"There's still more than half left?"
He once again activated Falling Stars. Countless meteors crashed down, sweeping through the entire tower, yet there were still over five thousand Blood-Furred Mammoths remaining.
ROAR!
After enduring the first wave of destruction, all five thousand-plus Blood-Furred Mammoths erupted with dazzling crimson light. Their massive bodies looked as though they had been drenched in blood as they transformed into scarlet streaks of light, stampeding straight toward Jiang Li.
"One strike isn't enough? Then I'll use another."
Faced with the overwhelming charge, Jiang Li remained calm and composed. His spiritual force exploded outward, while inside his soul space, the Earth-Space fused Law Planet shone with brilliant radiance.
The next moment—
The octagonal diamond-shaped Falling Stars treasure suddenly burst with blinding light.
Even denser streams of meteors rained down across the battlefield.
"Th-This..."
The Immortal experts watching were left staring at one another in disbelief.
"Does this Jiang Li only know this one move?"
"This is unbelievable."
Across the Virtual Universe Network, every universe country closely followed the constantly changing rankings.
"Jiang Li is incredible!"
"He's way ahead of everyone else!"
"Rong Jun is already in 17th place! He cleared one Trial Tower!"
"Hong is right behind him—he's entered the top ten thousand!"
"What about Luo Feng?"
"Why can't I find him?"
Throughout the Qianwu Universe Country, countless people frantically searched for Luo Feng's ranking.
Soon enough—
Jiang Li repeated the exact same strategy and effortlessly cleared the second Trial Tower.
Then...
He cleared the third Trial Tower as well!
Seeing such an almost shamelessly efficient method, many Immortals gradually lost interest and shifted their attention to the other genius competitors.
"Jiang Li may be ranked first, but his methods are far too one-dimensional. There's no way he'll pass the fourth Trial Tower!"
An Immortal from the Noah Universe Country declared confidently.
"The body provided by the Virtual Universe can withstand activating Falling Stars three times. At best, he'll reach the third level of the fourth tower."
"But with the points from just the third tower, he still has a good chance of making the top 7,300."
The cold-eyed Immortal glanced at the eliminated geniuses and shook his head slightly.
"Kari, you've been eliminated too?"
"Bras, you're out as well?"
"Fenglun, even you couldn't make it?"
Fenglun, one of Luo Feng's friends, had stopped at the sixth level of the third tower. He sighed helplessly.
"The Sky Beast 'Cang' was just too powerful. I couldn't deal with it."
"But your Qianwu Universe Country's Jiang Li is truly incredible. He's already reached the fourth tower!"
"Him?"
Fenglun paused before looking at Jiang Li's name at the very top of the rankings.
"That's perfectly normal."
"He was ranked first in our World Zone."
"His nickname is... the Great Demon King."
"They say that during the World Zone competition, not a single opponent managed to force him to draw a second sword."
"So terrifying?"
The young men and women gathered nearby were stunned.
Among the seven Trial Towers, the first two were relatively easy.
However...
Starting from the third Trial Tower, over ninety percent of all geniuses were eliminated.
Inside the tower—
Using Falling Stars, Jiang Li smoothly arrived at the sixth level of the fourth Trial Tower.
"The power of Falling Stars isn't enough to deal with ten Star Beasts anymore."
Stepping into the sixth level, Jiang Li extended his jade-like right hand.
Within the Virtual Universe, his weapon changed.
The Wind-Thunder Cloud Sword instantly appeared in his grasp.
Facing ten Star Beasts comparable to the Golden-Horned Beast—
His figure blurred.
Underneath the white battle robe, countless afterimages erupted simultaneously.
At first glance...
The entire sixth level of the Trial Tower seemed filled with nothing but Jiang Li's silhouettes!
"Th-This...!"
The few Immortals still watching Jiang Li suddenly cried out in shock.
"Another practitioner of the Ten Thousand Line Flow!"
"Who?"
"That Jiang Li!"
The surrounding Immortals all revealed astonished expressions.
"This kid... could it be that his Earth-Space Law fusion isn't merely due to perfect mastery of the Earth Origin Law?"
"If that's the case... we'll have to reevaluate him."
"Hahaha! Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Country has truly produced a remarkable batch of geniuses this time!"
"Stop pretending to stay so calm."
Seeing the armored Immortal Thirteen smile indifferently, the other Immortals couldn't help teasing him.
"You're acting as though you already knew."
"Heh."
Immortal Thirteen smiled faintly.
"His teacher... is a Space Venerable."
"Oh?"
The moment they heard the words 'Space Venerable,' all the Immortals immediately understood.
Even for Immortals like themselves, receiving guidance from a Venerable was far from easy.
"Death God Bolan has caught up!"
"Looks like Jiang Li's performance has finally motivated him!"
As time passed, Bolan, acknowledged as the greatest super genius in dozens of generations, also cleared the fourth Trial Tower, rapidly closing the gap.
With the movement technique Ten Thousand Line Flow, Jiang Li easily conquered the fifth Trial Tower, while Bolan remained right behind him.
The fierce elimination round had gradually transformed into a duel between two peerless geniuses.
"With Ten Thousand Line Flow, the two of them actually have a chance of clearing the sixth Trial Tower."
An Immortal with fiery red hair commented.
"Hm?"
"Thirteen—your Qianwu Universe Country's Rong Jun is dead."
An Immortal who had been watching Rong Jun spoke.
"He fell on the seventh level of the fifth tower."
"A very impressive result."
"What a pity."
Even Immortal Thirteen felt somewhat regretful.
Rong Jun possessed tremendous combat power, but his comprehension of the Space Law was far inferior to Bolan's and Jiang Li's.
Against the endless tide of insect warriors produced by the Insect Queen, a single mistake was enough to cost him his life.
As he sighed—
Immortal Thirteen suddenly froze.
He realized that three competitors from the Qianwu Universe Country were still alive.
One was naturally Jiang Li, who had already reached the sixth Trial Tower.
The other two were:
Hong, currently on the second level of the fourth tower.
And Luo Feng, still on the first level of the third tower.
"Why are those two progressing so slowly?"
He wasn't the only one to notice.
As time continued to pass, only a handful of contestants remained alive.
Soon—
The Virtual Universe Company released its latest trial report.
"As of today, only five participants remain alive inside the Trial Space!"
"They are—"
"The Great Demon King, Jiang Li, from the Qianwu Universe Country!"
"Death God Bolan, from the Noah Universe Country!"
"Life Sword Yifeng, from the Gulun Universe Country!"
"Madman Luo Feng, from the Qianwu Universe Country!"
"Aurora Hong, from the Qianwu Universe Country!"
The moment the update was published, the entire Qianwu Universe Country erupted into celebration.
"Jiang Li!"
"Jiang Li!"
"Jiang Li!"
"Luo Feng! Luo Feng! Luo Feng!"
"Hong! Hong! Hong!"
"Hahaha!"
"Out of over a million geniuses, only five are left alive—and three of them are from our Qianwu Universe Country!"
The entire Qianwu Universe Country was in an uproar.
The Black Dragon Mountain Empire was practically losing its mind.
"This is freaking awesome!"
"They're all citizens of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"
"The number one empire in the universe!"
"The Great Demon King is absolutely insane!"
"He's firmly in first place, crushing every other genius!"
"Look!"
"Luo Feng and Hong's rankings are climbing too!"
"Come on, everyone! Cheer for our heroes!"
As their rankings continued to rise, both the Virtual Universe and the real world throughout the Black Dragon Mountain Empire exploded with excitement.
Every citizen was overwhelmed with exhilaration.
Across the vast human race, among 1,008 Universe Countries, a medium-level civilization like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was as common as grains of sand.
Yet...
Such a seemingly insignificant empire had produced three geniuses who now stood among humanity's greatest talents.
How could they not be ecstatic?
How could they not feel immeasurable pride?
"Come on!"
"You have to hold on!"
Inside Galaxy City, within the spacious courtyard of the Jiangnan Residence, Thunder God and the others clenched their fists so tightly that they trembled.
Tears of excitement were already welling up in their eyes.
Meanwhile—
Inside the special plaza created for the Genius Competition, over one million eliminated geniuses stared fixedly at the five giant screens suspended in the air.
Even the Immortals seated upon their lofty thrones had become visibly tense.
BOOM!
When a white blur swung its sword and completely annihilated the Insect Queen, the entire plaza finally erupted after holding its breath for so long.
"My heavens... Jiang Li is unbelievably powerful!"
"The movement technique Ten Thousand Line Flow is practically invincible!"
"Even while being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of insect warriors, he can still move freely without restraint!"
"This is absolute madness!"
"Now... all that's left is to see whether Bolan can do the same!"
The countless geniuses who had once felt only envy now looked on with nothing but awe and shock.
