Jiang Li's sword flashed like a gale, its edge sweeping forward with unstoppable momentum. In an instant, another Nine-Headed Python fell beneath his blade. His figure blurred, barely evading the sweeping tail of a divine serpent, only for countless snake heads to crash toward him from every direction.
For a brief moment—
Jiang Li seemed to have fallen into a hopeless hell of ten thousand serpents.
The enormous plaza fell into absolute silence.
At that instant, even the sound of breathing disappeared.
More than a million genius cultivators, along with the Immortals who had long since risen from their seats, stared fixedly at the central projection screen without daring to blink.
"Is it over?"
The giant clad in scaled armor—Thirteen—clenched his fists tightly, his eyes erupting with a breathtaking brilliance.
The next second—
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even the Immortals' pupils widened in disbelief, as though they had witnessed something utterly impossible.
On the screen—
Vines as thick as dragons burst forth in an instant.
One...
Two...
Three...
A total of 10,081 dragon-like vine tendrils exploded into existence, growing wildly as they forcibly wrapped around the charging Nine-Headed Pythons, binding them in place.
"What is that?!"
"The Nine-Coil Dragon Staff!"
"Impossible!"
The Nine-Coil Dragon Staff was a fifth-tier, top-grade spirit weapon powered by the fusion of the Wood and Space Laws.
Countless humans across the universe could wield it. Even among the vast population of Stellar-level humans, there were many capable of doing so.
But—
Jiang Li was not only a Stellar-level cultivator...
He had already comprehended the Earth Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
If he could now wield the Nine-Coil Dragon Staff...
That meant he had also comprehended the Wood Origin Law.
This completely shattered the limits of everything they believed possible.
After all...
Among every Immortal present, not a single one had ever heard of a Stellar-level cultivator comprehending three Origin Laws.
And it wasn't only the Immortals in the plaza who were shocked.
Inside the palace of the Qianwu Universe Country—
"How is this possible?"
"A Stellar-level cultivator specializing in Earth and Space Laws can actually wield the Nine-Coil Dragon Staff?"
"Wanshan, you've hidden this from us well!"
"Three Origin Laws... Your disciple is a genius that appears only once in millions upon millions of eras!"
The Universe Venerables all exclaimed in astonishment.
"Hahaha! Just keep watching."
Upon hearing those words, every Venerable—including the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Country—opened their eyes wide.
Could it be...
This kid still had another trump card?
Impossible...
Surely not...?
At that moment, Venerable Wanshan was overjoyed.
"As expected, this boy intends to charge forward without holding anything back. Fortunately, I still have enough favors owed to me. Otherwise... I might not have been able to protect you."
"Ahem..."
Venerable Minghu, whose divine power incarnation also sat within the palace, immediately declared with righteous confidence,
"He is my disciple as well."
Inside the Noah Universe Country—
Even the Noah Sovereign, himself a Universe Venerable, was utterly stunned.
"Three Origin Laws?"
"Bolan didn't lose unfairly."
"Your Majesty... isn't this cheating? How could a Stellar-level cultivator possibly comprehend three Origin Laws?"
The Noah Sovereign chuckled.
"With the Virtual Universe Company supervising the competition, how could such a thing be fake?"
The Barbarian Universe Country was equally shaken.
The Xiyue Universe Country...
"You said what?!"
Within the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company—
Venerable Nine Swords, seated upon his throne inside the grand hall, abruptly stood up and looked down at the Immortal reporting before him.
"Contestant Jiang Li has comprehended a third Origin Law!"
"Reporting to Your Excellency—during the Genius Competition organized by the Virtual Universe Company, an unprecedented genius has appeared. After clearing the first floor of the Seventh Trial Tower, he displayed a third Origin Law!"
Even the Giant Axe Fighting Arena quickly received the news.
"A Stellar-level cultivator has comprehended three Laws?"
"Could he be another peerless genius on Kedi's level?"
The Genius Competition was watched by humanity across the universe.
Although those supreme beings did not personally observe the Trial Towers, all of them had subordinates providing real-time reports.
Something comparable to a miracle spread with astonishing speed.
By the time Jiang Li had cleared the second floor of the Trial Tower...
The news had already spread through more than half of humanity's highest ranks.
Yet as the center of all this attention—
Jiang Li himself showed not the slightest excitement.
"This is only the second floor... and I almost failed."
Although he had successfully broken through using the Nine-Coil Dragon Staff together with his Earth Law Domain...
He knew his greatest weakness had already become obvious.
The Nine-Headed Pythons were vastly stronger than the Blood-Furred Mammoths.
Even with Weight of the Stars, the power of his Sixth-Level Domain simply wasn't enough to unleash its full potential.
"Wood and Space fusion?"
"Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Country has produced a true monster."
"Haha, Lucite is right."
"Jiang Li can no longer be considered a normal human."
"In all the Genius Competitions throughout history, there has never been a Stellar-level human who comprehended three Origin Laws."
"It's unbelievable."
"I'm beginning to suspect he isn't even human."
The Immortals all voiced their amazement as they watched the white-robed Jiang Li calmly step into the third floor of the Trial Tower.
"If he weren't human, would the Virtual Universe Company not know?"
Immortal Thirteen's smile stretched so wide it nearly reached the back of his head.
Inside the Trial Space—
Jiang Li calmly stepped onto the third floor.
A thousand Dora Tribe Warriors instantly appeared.
Each of them was a metallic lifeform that possessed the Metal Origin Law, while also displaying a rudimentary understanding of the Space Origin Law.
"Activate!"
Facing the army of Dora warriors descending from the sky, Jiang Li hesitated for not even a moment.
His spiritual power surged outward like a roaring flood.
His figure blurred.
One phantom after another appeared, their forms flickering between reality and illusion as they charged into battle, wielding the Wind-Cap Cloud Sword.
"Break! Break! Break!"
The sword erupted with devastating force.
Countless sword shadows swept across the battlefield as streams of sparks exploded wherever metal clashed against metal.
"So tough?"
Even when Jiang Li's true body unleashed the seventy-twofold vibration of Five-Clawed Heaven-Shattering Strike, smashing directly into a Dora warrior...
He managed only to shatter half of its body.
The durability of these metallic lifeforms far exceeded his expectations.
Of course...
Part of the reason was that this body had been provided by the Virtual Universe Network.
Its explosive strength was still subject to certain limitations.
Sword light coiled like dragons.
Golden sparks filled the air.
Clang!
Bang!
After every exchange, Jiang Li skillfully evaded the warriors' counterattacks.
But as more enemies rushed in...
The space available for him to maneuver rapidly shrank.
Clang! Clang!
Jiang Li was blasted backward through the air.
His body blurred once more as he attempted to break through the encirclement.
Just as he shot upward—
More Dora warriors surged toward him like thunder.
A blade filled with murderous intent flashed across the sky and slashed directly toward his right arm.
"Ancestral Dragon Body... Activate!"
Jiang Li roared.
In an instant—
An ancient, primordial aura enveloped his entire body.
The Dora warrior's blade struck his right arm squarely.
Clang!
Instead of flesh being torn apart...
A shower of sparks erupted as though steel had collided with divine metal.
Then—
Borrowing the tremendous impact, Jiang Li's figure shot backward.
His eyes gradually turned colder and colder.
Hiss—!
At that very moment—
The entire plaza, including every Immortal present, collectively drew a sharp breath.
"He... wasn't injured?"
"What was that golden light?"
"It couldn't have been the Metal Origin Law, could it?"
"This Jiang Li... is simply unbelievable!"
"My heavens..."
"Just how many trump cards does he still have?!"
The countless geniuses were no longer merely shocked.
A bone-chilling cold rose from the depths of their hearts.
Wave after wave of fear surged upward until it became a monstrous tidal wave.
He had already forced his way to the third floor of the Seventh Trial Tower by relying on his third Origin Law...
And now he possessed a mysterious golden radiance capable of protecting his body?
Just... what kind of monster was this man?!
