Chapter 977: Impossible Goal (Requesting Monthly Votes)

“Boom!!”

Two dazzling giant axe-gangs, a thousand meters long, slashed out, illuminating the entire planet.

Simultaneously, space was torn apart, instantly forming vast black fissures, releasing the cutting force of space.

They could even draw in all the spear-gangs, like a monstrous beast opening its bloodied maw to devour them completely.

“Boom!!!”

In an instant, violent collision erupted, producing a deafening roar.

“Shiiii!”

Amid the explosion, Lin Qi transformed into a beam of purple-gold light, piercing through the air.

As the two gangs clashed fiercely, he surged forward, directly heading toward Wei Gu.

Far above in the sky, Nihe watched the collision, silently astonished:

“This Lin Qi is absurdly strong!”

“If I were in his place, I’d already be obliterated.”

“But why do I feel Wei Gu can’t beat Lin Qi?”

“Or has a Star Domain genius already become unable to stop him? Unless someone even stronger comes—like a Legendary genius?”

“Wei Gu is already the strongest among our intelligent lifeforms.”

“If Lin Qi can defeat him, it only proves Lin Qi is too powerful.”

“This time, he’ll probably clear two more layers of the Original Tower.”

…

“Shiiii!!”

“Boom!!”

The two gangs collided, and the cross-axe gang shattered instantly.

Lin Qi’s purple-gold spiral spear-gang smashed through the axe-gang and continued hurtling toward Wei Gu.

Meanwhile, Wei Gu split into countless illusions, warping space to evade the spear-gang’s attack.

“Boom boom!!!”

Eventually, these spear-gangs slammed into the earth, cracking the ground and sending up clouds of dust.

Amid the dust, Lin Qi suddenly appeared—his speed like lightning, combined with spatial laws, terrifyingly swift.

Wei Gu hadn’t even reacted when he saw Lin Qi already standing before him.

“Boom!!”

Lin Qi swung the Golden Thunder Spear; the heavy spear, infused with his power, came crashing down upon Wei Gu.

“Hummm!!”

Facing the devastating downward strike, the burly Wei Gu chose not to meet force with force—he had witnessed Lin Qi’s strength.

Direct confrontation would almost certainly end in his defeat.

So he opted for instantaneous teleportation, using his body technique to confuse Lin Qi.

Combat doesn’t require direct confrontation—only victory matters.

Amid the dust and howling winds, space twisted; light, air currents, source energy, and dust all shifted, becoming blurred.

Not only vision was obstructed—spiritual perception was too.

This left Lin Qi unable to precisely lock onto Wei Gu’s location.

“Trying to confuse me?”

Lin Qi’s lips curled slightly.

Swinging the spear, he spun rapidly in place, bracing the spear against his waist as his body whirled like a top.

Fourteen true meanings flowed along the spear tip; three types of gang energy erupted wildly.

“Whooosh!!!”

In rapid rotation, a colossal purple-gold tornado formed.

The sharp spear tip tore through the surrounding space, creating vast fissures, whose cutting force merging with the tornado.

Great Universe Rift-Space Spear Scripture—Hurricane Blade, Severing Space!

This was the second killing technique in the spear scripture, fused with the tearing true meaning of spatial laws.

It could rip open space, forming a colossal golden tornado, each gust woven from golden threads, infused with violent thunder energy.

A massive-area killing technique.

He had never used this technique on others before.

Moreover, he had perfected this technique—it was the one most suited to him, its power reaching an unimaginable level.

Thus, the Wei Gu who had teleported out now faced Lin Qi’s killing technique.

He sensed immense danger.

If he met it head-on, he’d be the one destroyed.

Simultaneously, a powerful suction erupted from the tornado, like a tentacle wrapping around him.

Attempting to teleport was now too late.

He had no choice but to endure it.

He swung his silver giant battle-axe; torrential source energy poured from his body.

Purple-gold gang energy also erupted from him.

With a powerful swing, he gripped the axe with both arms, raised it high as if splitting the earth, tearing open the ground and instantly summoning a thousand-meter axe aura.

Violent thunder dominated—this was meant to shatter everything, including Lin Qi’s golden tornado.

“Boom!!”

The two attacks collided instantly.

“Hummm!!”

Across the wasteland, another deafening roar erupted; the terrifying shockwave of gang energy spread outward.

The entire wasteland—even the whole planet—now bore a prominent basin-like crater on its surface.

Alongside it, a purple-gold tornado stretched over thousands of kilometers.

Lin Qi’s technique had grown ever wider in range—the closer to the center, the more terrifying its power.

Under the assault of the purple-gold tornado, the thousand-meter purple-gold axe-gang, capable of splitting the planet’s crust, was effortlessly torn apart.

Like countless blades, it sliced the axe-gang into countless energy fragments, scattering outward.

With his attack shattered, Wei Gu himself was engulfed—he activated a defensive technique, purple-gold gang energy forming a fortress around him.

“Boom boom!!!”

But against the golden tornado’s assault, his defensive technique shattered instantly, followed by his silver battle armor, which cracked across its surface.

Then it began to break apart.

Under extreme cutting force, his armor could no longer withstand the technique’s assault.

“Crack crack!!”

Finally, the armor shattered completely—then his flesh and blood.

“Roar~”

Wei Gu let out a pained roar, his body sliced into countless fragments, including his internal source core.

Everything shattered—reduced to dust!

The final outcome of the battle was clear.

Wei Gu’s flesh and body scattered with the wind, dissolving into the air like the golden tornado.

Only an endless, vast crater remained, its rocks still humming with the ripples of Jin Zhi’s law, Lei Zhi’s law, and spatial law.

【Battle Ended!】

【Member Lin Qi, congratulations! You have defeated the examiner Wei Gu and successfully passed Original Tower Layer 15!】

【You have received 200 million cultivation points and 10 opportunities to observe Chaotic Artifacts!】

【Ranking (Star Evolution): 100 → 9】

【Yes/No to proceed to Original Tower Layer 16?】

…

On Lin Qi’s side, clad in Dark Radiance Battle Armor, he reappeared at the original spot.

He gazed at the bottomless crater before him and shook his head silently.

The power of this killing technique still exceeded his expectations.

Once unleashed, its strength far surpassed ordinary techniques.

It had sliced Wei Gu into fragments—too cruel.

But he was extremely satisfied with its power.

He had now cleared two layers of the Original Tower.

Just as he had predicted.

He had now fulfilled all prerequisites for the second trial.

He turned his gaze to the large screen.

Having cleared Layer 15 of the Original Tower, eight others now ranked above him.

He had to admit—the Grand Primordial Sacred Land still had formidable experts.

At the 15th level of the Original Tower, examinees have mastered the true essence of five spatial laws and significantly enhanced their strength.

Yet considering that his examinee Weigu is already at the level of a Star Domain genius.

As for other geniuses’ examinees, they remain at Niehe’s level—given enough time, they might still break through.

But even so, his strength is still immensely powerful.

Yet no matter how strong, he must still pass the second trial of the Supreme Being.

At this moment, in the sky, Niehe, clad in golden armor, watched the battle end and could not help shaking his head.

Lost again!

He had known that Weigu might not be able to defeat Lin Qi.

Lin Qi now is terrifyingly strong.

Weigu truly cannot win against him.

It turns out this is indeed the case.

He guessed, as last time, Lin Qi would pass two levels at once, then return to cultivate for several thousand years before advancing further.

“Hum!”
