The plane space dedicated to the Genius Battle.
Central Square.
"My god—Bolan has also entered the Seventh Trial Tower!"
"Look! Phantoms—so many phantoms!"
"He truly lives up to his title—the genius who comprehended the Flow of Ten Thousand Lines!"
"Against ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths that have crossed the threshold of law… Bolan is forced to reveal his trump card!"
Seventh Trial Tower — First Floor
The moment Bolan saw the endless tide of Blood-Haired Mammoths, his pupils contracted sharply.
Ten thousand of them.
Every single one had stepped across the Law Threshold.
Without hesitation, Bolan activated his near-perfect Space Law.
His body shattered into countless illusory forms, real and false indistinguishable.
Around each phantom, streams of cyan spatial airflow coiled and twisted.
Whoosh!
Scarlet sword light flashed.
Bolan's blade moved like lightning.
Each strike took the life of a Blood-Haired Mammoth.
But—
There were too many.
And the battlefield continued to compress.
Pffft!
A mammoth's tusk pierced straight through Bolan's arm.
In that instant—
All illusions collapsed.
"Hngh!"
Bolan's face darkened.
His blood sword slashed out, cleaving the mammoth's skull and killing it on the spot.
But he knew.
This was his limit.
After exhausting himself to slaughter over five thousand mammoths, his strength finally gave out.
The remaining beasts surged forward—
And trampled him into nothingness.
Central Square — Verdict
"Bolan… failed."
"He stopped at the first floor of the Seventh Trial Tower."
"Ten thousand law-threshold mammoths… it's simply impossible."
"I don't even dare imagine how strong the Great Demon King is—killing them all in a single strike."
Bolan was teleported out.
The surrounding voices entered his ears—
And his body froze.
"One move… wiped them all out?"
It felt as though his soul had been hollowed out.
"Bolan, it's true."
Lancelot, also from Noah Universe Kingdom, walked over, awe undisguised.
"Do you know what Jiang Yan used to clear the first two floors?"
"The seventh layer of the Yan Divine Weapon."
"He can wield the seventh layer."
"The… seventh layer?"
Bolan stood rooted in place.
Utterly stunned.
Watching Jiang Yan
"There are only two floors left."
Rong Jun stared at the final screen, watching Jiang Yan quietly recover within the trial space.
"Can he really clear it?"
Uka said softly, "If the Great Demon King can wield the seventh layer of the Yan Divine Weapon… the Seventh Trial Tower shouldn't stop him."
Thor laughed.
"I believe in Third Brother. Once he recovers, aren't the Starry Sky Giant Beasts just one spear per kill?"
Luo Feng nodded.
"Third Brother… always creates miracles."
Hong said nothing.
But his gaze never left the screen.
The entire square—
Millions of geniuses.
1,008 Immortals.
Even the Nine Swords Venerable—
All watched in silence.
Chaos City — City Lord's Mansion
Several towering figures sat within the hall.
"Star Prison," the Chaos City Lord said slowly, "you truly accepted an extraordinary disciple."
A genius unseen for hundreds of millions of years—
Had been quietly taken as a personal disciple.
No warning. No rumors.
"Haha!"
The Star Prison Demon Lord laughed heartily, unable to hide his pride.
"This kid really gives me face."
His gaze remained fixed on the projection of Jiang Yan.
Satisfied beyond measure.
"Tsk."
The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord spoke coolly.
"You really stepped in dog shit luck, Star Prison."
The Star Prison Demon Lord snorted.
"Jealousy won't change fate. You just don't have this life."
The truth was—
What had shocked him most was not just Jiang Yan's talent.
It was the thickness of the karmic thread.
Thicker than even his two existing personal disciples.
That alone had compelled him—
A top universe overlord—
To descend personally.
"Such a genius," the Chaos City Lord said gravely,
"must be protected."
"We cannot repeat the tragedy of Ke Ti."
Star Prison replied calmly, "It's already arranged. As long as he doesn't rush into foreign lairs seeking death, nothing will happen to him."
"He's moving."
The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord spoke suddenly.
Seventh Trial Tower — Sixth Floor
Jiang Yan appeared before a Starry Sky Giant Beast — Cang.
One spear.
The beast's massive body was torn apart.
Second spear.
Third spear.
Ten spears—
Ten kills.
Clean. Precise. Absolute.
"At Star Level… flawlessly executing the fourth form of the Four Elephants Spear Codex."
The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord sighed.
"Such talent is rarer than the ancient records themselves."
The Chaos City Lord nodded slowly.
Even many Domain Lords could not meet the requirements for that form.
Yet Jiang Yan had done it.
The Star Prison Demon Lord merely smiled.
This is nothing, he thought.
He's already mastered the fifth form.
And even fused two upper laws with eight lower laws.
"Hm?"
Suddenly—
The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord's pupils shrank.
Seventh Trial Tower — Seventh Floor
Jiang Yan appeared before the Zerg Mother Nest.
Before the Mother Nest could react—
He vanished.
Reappearing directly in front of it.
Talent Secret Technique of the Destruction Giant Beast Clan—
Time Stands Still.
The world froze.
Then—
A spear was thrust.
Four Elephants Spear Codex — Realm Lord Chapter
Fifth Form: World-Shattering Break.
The Realm-Lord-level Zerg Mother Nest—
Was torn apart.
Erased.
Destroyed in a single strike.
The Seventh Trial Tower—
Uncleared since the dawn of the Genius Battle—
Had fallen.
Today.
To Jiang Yan.
The impossible—
Had been made reality.
