Under the gaze of countless eyes, Bai Yue stepped into the Seventh Trial Tower.
The moment Space stabilized, pressure slammed down like a mountain.
This tower still housed ten thousand Blood-haired Mammoths, yet unlike before, every single one of them possessed strength ranked within the top one hundred overall. Their massive bodies were wreathed in Origin Law fluctuations; each casual movement distorted Space, and every attack carried terrifying destructive force.
Bai Yue exhaled slowly as he fought.
So this is the seventh tower…
The surge in difficulty was unmistakable. It was obvious that the Virtual Universe Corporation had never intended for anyone to truly clear all seven Trial Towers. The design itself drew a hard ceiling.
Still—
unmanageable? No.
On this floor, a single Blood-haired Mammoth could still be killed with a focused soul attack. However, wide-area soul suppression no longer worked. Once the damage spread, the Mammoths could endure it through brute Origin Law resistance.
So Bai Yue switched styles without hesitation.
He abandoned large-scale soul annihilation and fought as a pure Martial Artist.
His comprehension of Space Law unfolded completely. Each step folded Space beneath his feet, his body phasing between cracks in reality. The Mammoths' earth-shaking charges smashed into nothing but afterimages.
Their attacks missed.
His staff did not.
Every swing of the dark-gold long staff harvested a life.
One Mammoth fell.
Then another.
Then dozens more.
Gradually, the overwhelming horde thinned.
Finally—
Bang!
The last Blood-haired Mammoth collapsed, its massive body crashing into the void.
Bai Yue did not stop.
He advanced immediately to the next floor.
Seventh Trial Tower — Subsequent Floors
Second Floor
Ten thousand Nine-headed Pythons.
Their Law comprehension matched the previous floor, but their intelligence was far higher. Ambushes, coordinated assaults, feints—
Bai Yue deployed hundreds of illusions, fracturing their targeting and dismantling them one by one.
Passed.
Third Floor
One thousand Gyro Tribe Warriors, metallic lifeforms.
Passed.
Fourth Floor
One thousand Fei Hou, bizarre cosmic beasts with unpredictable movement.
Passed.
Fifth Floor
One hundred Automaton Race puppets.
Passed.
Sixth Floor
Ten Starry Sky Giant Beasts — Cang.
Each one alone was enough to suppress entire battlefields.
Passed.
Then—
The moment Bai Yue stepped onto the Seventh Floor, his expression finally changed.
Insect Race warriors filled the Starry Sky like a tide, their bodies dense with Law fluctuations. At the center, the Insect Race Mother Nest loomed—vast, grotesque, and exuding thick poisonous mist.
Even more dangerously—
As Bai Yue paused, another thousand Insect Race warriors surged out of the Mother Nest.
His pupils narrowed.
If the Mother Nest wasn't destroyed quickly, the enemy numbers would snowball endlessly. No matter how high his Law comprehension was, Origin Energy and Mental Power were finite.
Drag this out, and he would lose.
No more hesitation.
Golden Light Realm
The Domain secret technique Golden Light Realm erupted.
This was a supreme inheritance technique from the Golden-Horned Beast, one Bai Yue had never used publicly.
Now, it unfolded fully.
Hazy golden radiance expanded outward, swallowing the battlefield. Space thickened. Pressure multiplied. The movements of the Insect Race warriors—and even the Queen Mother—slowed by half a beat.
That half beat was fatal.
Countless illusory Bai Yues manifested across the void.
Staff shadows filled the heavens.
In an instant, thousands of Insect Race warriors were obliterated.
The battlefield turned into carnage.
Blood and shattered shells drifted through Space as both sides fought desperately. Bai Yue pressed forward without retreat, tearing straight toward the Mother Nest.
Huff… huff…
Heavy breathing escaped his lips.
It had been a long time since he felt true exhaustion.
But the results were clear.
The Insect Race Mother Nest had been smashed apart, reduced to fragments. No more reinforcements would emerge.
Only the Queen Mother remained.
In the void ahead, the Queen Mother hovered—frail, wounded, her azure eyes locked onto Bai Yue.
Victory was within reach.
He took a step forward.
Then—
A terrifying soul attack descended.
It struck his Sea of Consciousness like a falling star.
The Void Tower, cultivated to the third level, shattered instantly.
Darkness swallowed his vision.
Elimination
Bai Yue was kicked out of the Trial Tower.
"…What the hell?"
For a rare moment, Bai Yue was genuinely speechless.
That attack was impossible.
Just moments earlier, the Queen Mother clearly did not possess such terrifying Mental Power. There was no way she could unleash a soul attack capable of destroying his Void Tower in one blow.
This was blatant.
He glanced toward where Venerable Nine Swords had stood earlier.
Empty.
He looked at the 1,008 Undying observing from above.
No one would explain. No one would answer.
"…Forget it."
An arm can't twist a thigh.
With an Ah-Q-style mindset, Bai Yue stopped dwelling on it.
Regardless—
First place was already secured.
Aftermath
Thirteen's expression froze briefly when Bai Yue was eliminated. Then he let out a helpless, knowing smile.
One by one, more contestants were expelled from the Trial Towers.
Seventh Tower, First Floor — Bolan eliminated.
Fifth Tower, Fifth Floor — Kandita eliminated.
Eventually—
Only Luo Feng remained.
Bai Yue watched the lone projection on the plaza and commented lazily,
"This kid really knows how to steal the spotlight."
Not long after, Luo Feng fell on the first floor of the Sixth Trial Tower.
Overall Rank: Fourth in the Universe.
When the trials fully concluded, all participants were guided back to their residences.
"This time, our Ganwu Universe Country performed exceptionally well," Thirteen announced, his voice echoing through the hall. Praise from him was rare.
"Bai Yue—first place.
Luo Feng and Rong Jun—top one hundred, directly entering the Virtual Universe Corporation's core layer.
Three others—top 7,300, eligible for the final selection."
He paused.
"As for the rest… your Peak Genius Battle ends here."
Disappointment washed over the eliminated geniuses.
After final instructions, Thirteen turned sharply.
"Bai Yue, Luo Feng, Rong Jun—you six, follow me."
Inside a private room, Thirteen gave them final guidance, emphasizing the dominance of Mental Masters and key points for upcoming assessments.
"Not bad, Fengzi," Bai Yue grinned. "Fourth in the Universe."
"I know, I know—you're first," Luo Feng replied, rolling his eyes.
Rong Jun watched them quietly before speaking.
"You're both strong. I hope to meet you in the arena."
After he left, Bai Yue lowered his voice.
"Rong Jun's hiding something. Be careful if you meet him."
Luo Feng nodded slowly.
"I felt it too."
Soon after, they returned to their rooms.
The long, relentless battles had left even geniuses feeling drained.
Not long later, all eliminated contestants were teleported away, leaving only the top 7,300 and the Undying overseers.
