In the first trial tower, the fierce beasts known as the Blood Haired Mammoths were completely overwhelmed. They were extremely weak.
But as he reached the second trial tower, the third trial tower…
The combat strength of the Blood Haired Mammoths rose to new levels again and again. By the time they reached the seventh trial tower, any one of the 10,000 Blood Haired Mammoths was enough to slaughter 99.99% of the million geniuses participating in this battle!
When all 10,000 attacked together, it was truly a nightmare.
“My God, they’re all phantom bodies!”
“God of Death Berlan has gone all out!”
On the screen.
Under the overwhelming attacks, trampling and assaults of countless frenzied Blood Haired Mammoths, countless figures of a white robed young man suddenly appeared. Every one of them looked incomparably real.
Within a certain area around them, blue coloured streams of air spread out. Within those streams of air were more than a thousand white robed young men, as though they had become the absolute domain of the God of Death Berlan. It was as if he could strike with his sword from anywhere.
The sword light was razor sharp!
Every sword strike seemed to slice through space!
Fast as lightning!
Every sword strike was already so fast that the geniuses present could not see it clearly with their naked eyes!
Strange as the wind!
With every sword strike, no one could determine its trajectory. It seemed to have no pattern at all!
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”…
Every sword pierced directly into the vital point of a Blood Haired Mammoth’s head.
Blood splashed again and again, as Blood Haired Mammoths with strength enough to rank among the top 100 overall were killed one after another. Yet the remaining Blood Haired Mammoths attacked even more frantically and effectively, their huge iron hooves repeatedly trampling towards the God of Death Berlan.
Precise!
Incomparably precise!
One Blood Haired Mammoth after another collapsed.
This was the God of Death Berlan. Once he struck with his sword, it was certain to kill!
“Puff!”
The tusk of a Blood Haired Mammoth pierced into the arm of the God of Death Berlan. Blood splashed, and all the phantom bodies disappeared.
“Hmph!”
A sharp glint flashed through the eyes of the cold white robed young man. His blood sword directly pierced through the head of the Blood Haired Mammoth before him.
“Boom!”
The other Blood Haired Mammoths frantically charged forward, attacking and trampling him.
After suffering three consecutive heavy injuries, the white robed young man was finally knocked flying and killed beneath the trampling of countless Blood Haired Mammoths.
Of the 10,000 Blood Haired Mammoths, God of Death Berlan killed 5,612!
From the first level of the seventh trial tower alone, he obtained 5.612 billion points, causing his total points to exceed 10 billion.
However!
He still failed.
He failed at the first level of the seventh trial tower.
……
“Phew!”
The more than one million genius experts gathered around the screens on the central square all let out long breaths.
The battle scene of God of Death Berlan had completely left them breathless.
The speed of his sword!
The strange nature of his sword!
The ferocity of his sword!
Together with his exquisite movement technique, it made all the geniuses look up to him in awe.
“He failed.”
“What a pity!”
“The seventh trial tower is too difficult. If it weren’t God of Death Berlan, anyone else who entered would probably be trampled to death instantly by the surging Blood Haired Mammoths.”
“He actually killed more than 5,000 Blood Haired Mammoths. Doesn’t that mean he could single handedly kill more than 5,000 experts ranked in the top 100?”
Although God of Death Berlan had failed, some of the geniuses present who had already entered the top 100 and were certain to enter the Virtual Universe Company’s core layer felt chills in their hearts.
The genius siblings from the mysterious place known as Ancient Star, the Prince of Manka Star, the genius girl from the Dream Spiral Wing Race, the Wild Man youth Rong Jun, and others were all staring at the screen.
“Too strong.” The Wild Man youth Rong Jun clenched his fists and stared at the screen. “No matter which aspect you look at, he is far stronger than me. If I fought him… I couldn’t even withstand one move!”
“Brother, no wonder Teacher said that we had no chance of defeating him. He is too strong.” The girl with green curly hair and mysterious patterns on her face, whose entire body seemed as delicate as if it were made of water, said softly.
The green haired young man beside her nodded. “Yes, Qianshui, I feel that I couldn’t even withstand one of his attacks. I simply couldn’t block him.”
……
The strength of God of Death Berlan was so overwhelming that it made people look up to him.
Those ranked from second to sixth overall had all fallen at the first level of the sixth trial tower.
Those ranked from seventh to eleventh had all fallen at the seventh level of the fifth trial tower.
Those ranked from twelfth to twenty first had all fallen at the sixth level of the fifth trial tower…
And first place had reached the first level of the seventh trial tower!
The results clearly showed that the difference between everyone from second place onwards was not very large. They were all relatively close.
Only first place was different!
He had directly left everyone behind by an entire trial tower.
The gap was simply enormous!
God of Death Berlan was kicked out of the trial space.
Now, only three people remained in the trials, Blood Edge Kandita, Sword of Life Yifeng, and Madman Luo Feng!
……
The fifth level of the fifth trial tower.
Stepping on the Whirlwind Edge, Kandita, the bald and muscular man with two purple markings on his face, narrowed his pupils as he looked at the scene that had formed before him.
It was a huge mechanical laboratory.
The entire floor was made of alloy, and standing on that alloy floor were 100 humanoid mechanical puppets, each eight metres tall and entirely silver.
Mechanical puppets were a type of combat weapon constructed by the Mechanical Race.
Every member of the Mechanical Race was an intelligent lifeform. Each one could be considered a control terminal, and each one could form an entire mechanical kingdom!
Mechanical puppets were one type of combat unit within these mechanical kingdoms.
Buzz!
The 100 enormous mechanical puppets activated their energy systems. Red light shot from their eyes, instantly locking onto the human in the distance, Kandita.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The mechanical puppets instantly began running like lightning. Some even flew directly into the air while running, rapidly pouncing towards Kandita.
“Their speed is clearly far more monstrous than that of the mechanical puppets in the fourth trial tower!”
Kandita stepped on the Whirlwind Edge and drew an arc through the air, avoiding the direct charge of the mechanical puppets from afar.
The best way to defeat mechanical puppets was still to kill them one by one. Fighting them head on would simply be too reckless.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Invisible railguns were fired from the launchers on the mechanical puppets’ arms.
There were many different specifications of railguns. The highest speed of a railgun could reach the speed of light, but such railguns were extremely expensive. Even within the mechanical kingdoms of the Mechanical Race, only extremely important combat units were equipped with light speed long range weapons.
The long range attacks fired by these mechanical puppets were nowhere near the speed of light.
“I hate these long range attacks the most!” Kandita gritted his teeth.
As time passed, the battle became increasingly intense.
Kandita was injured, while one mechanical puppet after another had its chest blasted open, destroying its control chip.
Boom!
A mechanical puppet’s iron fist smashed down.
Kandita narrowly dodged it, causing the iron fist to strike the ground. The alloy floor immediately caved in, forming a huge crater.
Iron fists!
Leg blades!
Railguns!
Flames!
Body collisions!
These enormous mechanical lumps were immune to all spiritual force attacks. To destroy them, one could only rely on physical attacks to forcibly destroy them.
Bang!
The heavily injured Kandita finally failed to dodge the incoming iron fists. He was smashed directly into the alloy floor and turned into a mass of flesh.
Kandita had failed at the fifth level of the fifth trial tower!
His final ranking was 28th!
……
The same fifth level of the fifth trial tower!
“Big guys, big guys, come on, come on!”
A handsome youth with purple hair moved like a ghost, floating through the numerous enormous mechanical puppets like a gust of wind.
The reactions, movement speed, attack power and other attributes of the mechanical puppets in the fifth trial tower had all been set extremely high.
Daring to weave through these mechanical puppets was simply unbelievable.
He was none other than Sword of Life Yifeng.
The shy young man’s eyes were extremely pure, filled with a kind of joy. It was as though he were dancing between life and death, and this could not bring him the slightest tension.
“Puff!” “Puff!”
Sword lights containing boundless vitality repeatedly flashed.
Some injured the joints of the mechanical puppets, while others directly pierced into their vital points.
He smiled happily as he performed each move. Every single move was dazzling.
Yifeng, Sword of Life, had been born into the royal family of the Gulen Universe Country.
After countless years, the royal families of the various universe countries had multiplied to an incalculable number. Being a member of the royal family did not bring them much. If they wanted wealth and status, they still had to rely on themselves.
However, he had suffered from a neurological problem in his brain since childhood, causing his lower body to be completely unresponsive. Only his upper body functioned normally.
No matter how advanced technology became, it could alter one’s bloodline and replace the internal organs of the body.
But!
The core of the brain was where the soul resided. The brain could not be replaced.
If it were replaced, it would be another person.
As for soul possession, he did not have the ability to possess another body, and furthermore, nobody was willing to help him.
He had sat in a wheelchair since childhood.
Watching the other young children of the royal family undergo unified training, he could not bear it any longer either.
He obtained a basic cultivation secret technique of the royal family.
According to what others said, perhaps cultivating a secret technique could allow the body to improve itself from within and perhaps cure his illness.
He practised.
Since he could not control his lower body, he would use his hands.
Again and again, he wielded the sword.
The sword carried his yearning, as well as his understanding of life.
His attainments in swordsmanship continued to improve, eventually reaching an incredible level. He even attracted the attention of the higher levels of the royal family.
Later, they directly sent an Immortal existence to help him personally.
Finally, he was able to stand again and freely control the lower half of his body.
He stood up!
After being paralysed for decades, he loved the feeling of running more than anything.
He ran again and again.
He displayed his movement technique and swung his sword.
He smiled, laughing happily…
His swordsmanship allowed him to enter the Origin Law of Wood!
His movement technique allowed him to enter the Origin Law of Wind!
Stepping across the thresholds of two great Origin Laws caused his status within the royal family to rise to an extremely high level.
Although his status was high, he remained that same shy young man.
His heart contained only his love for life, and his love for the ‘wind’ produced by running…
……
Sword of Life Yifeng destroyed all 100 mechanical puppets and successfully passed the fifth level of the fifth trial tower before entering the sixth level.
However, the sixth level contained ten starry sky behemoths known as Cang.
The Cang were far more agile than the mechanical puppets, and every one of them had stepped into the Origin Laws.
After killing three Cang, Yifeng was defeated.
This shy young man stopped at the sixth level of the fifth trial tower.
His final ranking was 16th!
……
At this moment!
After Blood Edge Kandita and Sword of Life Yifeng were kicked out of the trial spaces, only one person remained in the trials.
The Madman, Luo Feng!
