Chapter 948: New Tester (Requesting Monthly Votes)

The Primordial World, core region.

Across the boundless Tianhe River, a massive bronze tower stood upon the earth, piercing straight into the clouds, its summit unseen.

This was the Primordial Tower.

Large numbers of members from the Primordial Sacred Land constantly entered and exited, some gathering outside the tower, discussing the major rankings projected before them.

“Fan Jun is truly a top genius with the Earth Emperor Body—this talent is enviable; in just a few centuries, he has passed the seventh level of the Primordial Tower.”

“Among all geniuses in the Sacred Land’s history, he ranks among the best.”

“Give him a few more centuries, and he might even become a being of the Four Cosmic Realms.”

A group of new members were discussing, and Fan Jun, listening to their words, wore a faint smile of pride.

Far away, Lin Qi heard the discussion and felt a sense of familiarity.

Once, countless geniuses had debated their own rankings.

Back then, he had been competing with Meng Nuo, Ti Xi, and Qin Ling.

Now, all of them had been surpassed by him.

Yet he did not linger long, walking straight into the Primordial Tower.

His movements were swift; few even noticed his arrival.

…

【Member Lin Qi, welcome to the Primordial Tower!】

【Please select your combat equipment!】

【You will continue your trial at the 12th level of the Primordial Tower.】

【Primordial Tower Ranking (Xing Yan): 3010】

…

“Huhuh!!”

Across the endless wasteland, the ground was littered with brown rocks; the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, offering little light.

The boundless earth held only sparse traces of green on its peaks.

There was no sign of life—this was a dead planet.

A figure materialized out of thin air, stepping onto the ground.

It was Lin Qi; he once again chose his familiar combat gear: the Dark Radiance Battle Armor and the Jin Ting Great Spear.

Lin Qi felt the familiar air—he had returned to the 12th level of the Primordial Tower.

On the Four Cosmic Realms ranking, he had dropped four places.

This meant four others had grown stronger and surpassed him on the leaderboard.

“Shhh!”

The next instant, two figures appeared before him.

On the left stood Ni He, clad in dazzling golden battle armor, tall and upright, his skin silver.

Lin Qi’s old rival—each trial had always been between them.

But today, a stranger had appeared.

He wore silver battle armor adorned with purple-gold patterns, his face stern, his body even taller—an astonishing four meters.

His proportions were perfect, his expression cold, like a machine devoid of emotion.

Yet when he saw Lin Qi, he seemed to come alive, releasing an invisible, immense aura.

Beside him, the golden-armored Ni He spoke first:

“Lin Qi, I’ve heard of your deeds.”

“Congratulations on becoming a Legendary Genius.”

“No wonder you defeated me so easily after just mastering Space Law—you’re already a Legendary Genius.”

“Your talent makes defeating me no great feat.”

Lin Qi turned to the man beside Ni He and asked curiously:

“Ni He, who is this…?”

“Has the rule changed because I’m a Legendary Genius? Are you two going to attack me together?”

Ni He smiled and replied:

“Let me introduce you—this is Wei Gu. He is also a tester.”

“But he is my senior, possessing stronger combat awareness than I do.”

“With the same understanding of the laws, he is far stronger than I am.”

“He, too, has mastered the three laws: Gold, Thunder, and Space.”

“And he has already grasped the True Meaning of Ripping within Space Law—he is even stronger than I was before.”

“For this 12th level of the Primordial Tower, he will be your tester.”

Wei Gu then spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant:

“Member Lin Qi, I look forward to your guidance!”

Lin Qi smiled upon hearing this:

“They’ve raised the difficulty for me? Interesting.”

“I like it.”

“If your body can match the strength of a Star Domain genius, then it’ll be a real challenge.”

Ni He chuckled:

“You needn’t worry.”

“Wei Gu’s body was forged through a special secret technique—it has reached the same strength as an ordinary Star Domain genius.”

“It will offer you a completely new challenge.”

“You won’t be able to breeze through two levels in one go, like before.”

No sooner had he finished than Wei Gu’s hand appeared, gripping a massive silver axe, its surface etched with three law patterns!

Vast power erupted from his body.

Seeing this, Ni He immediately retreated.

“Lin Qi, good luck!”

“Let us see the true strength of a Legendary Genius.”

“Boom!!”

Lin Qi’s eyes also blazed with brilliant golden light; space twisted, and overwhelming pressure crushed the atmosphere to its limit.

He was deeply excited.

Only by fighting true experts could he test the Space Law he had cultivated.

Otherwise, if the opponent was too weak, even passing the trial meant nothing.

The voice of the Star Spirit rang from the sky:

【Countdown: …3, 2, 1】

【The 12th Level Trial of the Primordial Tower has officially begun.】

…

As the battle commenced,

Wei Gu, clad in silver armor, revealed a cold smile, and three-colored patterns emerged across his body.

Purple-gold light surged from within him.

The same Gold Sharpness, the same violent Thunder power, and the hidden Space Law—all converged.

The power of the three laws coalesced into a domain, surging forth like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire wasteland.

Heavy pressure exploded!

Vast power erupted from his body, warping and trembling space.

In an instant, he swung his axe, twelve True Meanings of the three laws swirling along its razor edge.

Where space touched the blade, it tore like thin paper.

Vast purple-gold energy surged from within him, flooding into the axe, then slashed downward!

“Boom!!”

In an instant, a colossal axe Gang erupted, the purple-gold axe instantly ripping through space.

“Crack crack!!”

Black fissures opened, endless cutting and devouring forces surging in, merging perfectly with the brutal axe Gang .

“Huhuh!!”

The entire wasteland erupted into gales as the space fissures appeared.

Facing this storm, Lin Qi felt a power capable of annihilating all things.

Wei Gu’s opening strike was far beyond expectation.

Its lethality was terrifying.

Just this single move surpassed Xuan Ge from the Abyss Ruins.

The utmost yang Gold and Thunder laws.

And the most lethal True Meaning of Ripping within Space Law.

Facing this strike, Lin Qi did not dodge.

He swung his Jin Ting Great Spear, and purple-gold light radiated from his body.

“Hummmmm!!”

Powerful Gang force surged violently from within him.

It flowed into the Jin Ting Great Spear.

Likewise, twelve True Meanings circled, coalescing into a hundred-meter giant spear Gang .

“Ssshhhh!!”

It tore through space and slammed forward!

“Boom!!”

In the air, three Laws converged and clashed head-on.

Purple-gold axe Gang vs. purple-gold spear Gang !

At the moment of impact, the spatial fissures around them widened further.

Blinding Law forces collided, causing spatial chaos and violent energy storms that sent shockwaves radiating outward.

“Boom!”

Amid the destructive shockwave, both men hovered steadily in midair.

Their powerful protective Gang force absorbed the impact, shielding them and holding firm against the energy surge.

Amid the deafening clash, victory was soon decided.

The purple-gold axe Gang shattered instantly, its flowing runes snapping apart.

Then the axe Gang cracked under the strain and broke apart!

The purple-gold spear Gang continued its assault, piercing through the air.
