Chapter 89: Crazy Explosion

Boom!

An invisible strange force descended upon the entire plane space, causing the 1,008,000 young geniuses within the plane space to be instantly teleported!

Swish!

Zhou Yang's figure appeared on a massive meteor.

The massive meteor drifted slowly through the endless starry sky, and at its center, seven towering spires rose majestically like mountains!

"Trial Tower!"

Zhou Yang lowered his head to look at the screen on his wrist, where the challenge rules of the Trial Tower began to appear.

"Participant: Zhou Yang (Qianwu Universe Nation)"

Score: 0

Rank: None

Current Trial Space: ID No. 0467989.

Within the Trial Space there are seven Trial Towers, each with seven levels.

The first Trial Tower grants up to 10,000 points per level; clearing all seven levels yields a maximum of 70,000 points.

The second Trial Tower grants up to 100,000 points per level; clearing all seven levels yields up to 700,000 points.

……

The fourth Trial Tower grants up to 10,000,000 points per level; clearing all seven levels yields up to 70,000,000 points.

……

The seventh Trial Tower grants up to 10,000,000,000 points per level; clearing all seven levels yields up to 100,000,000,000 points.

Note: If you die, the trial ends.

There are two ways to clear each level: 1) Kill all targets in the level to earn the maximum points and be instantly transferred to the next level. 2) If you fail to kill all targets, after ten days, provided you are still alive, you will be transferred to the next level to continue the trial.

When all participants have died, the trial ends and the final rankings are decided.

Below is the leaderboard.

"The seven Trial Towers, like the three Tongtian Mountains, are proclaimed as the ultimate benchmark for the Cosmic Human Race's unparalleled geniuses!"

Zhou Yang's battle spirit rose gradually within him.

"It's been nearly fourteen years since I crossed over!"

"From an ordinary Martial Arts Academy trainee, to a Quasi-Martial Artist, to the Elite Training Camp, to acquiring the Yunmo Star Secret Technique, then entering the Universe, undergoing the Soul River Secret Realm trials, and plotting the World Within World!"

"Fourteen years, never daring to slack even for a moment!"

"Now, it has finally arrived at this step!"

"If this battle succeeds, I can join the Virtual Universe Core Secret Realm, and from then on background, resources, secret techniques, etc., will no longer be my shortcomings! My true rise will begin today!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang's battle spirit had condensed to the extreme, and flames seemed to blaze within his pupils!

"Then let's fight!"

His figure turned into a streak of light and instantly surged into the first Trial Tower!

The first level of the first tower contained ten thousand "Blood-Hair Mammoths", each roughly as strong as an ordinary Domain-Level Genius.

"Roar!"

"Boom—boom—boom~~~"

One by one, the gigantic Blood-Hair Mammoths let out frenzied roars and attacked Zhou Yang, their explosive momentum making the air tremble.

"Kill!"

Zhou Yang let out a low shout, and thin, cicada-wing-like Lu Se Dao Pian spun out from his dark-green ancient whip.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Over a thousand blades instantly accelerated, charging into the Blood-Hair Mammoth herd!

Streaks of blood light flashed continuously, and one by one the Blood-Hair Mammoths were pierced through the head and fell.

Only a moment later—

All ten thousand Blood-Hair Mammoths were completely slaughtered!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Streaks of flowing light discs spiraled back, and Zhou Yang's figure was instantly teleported to the next level.

The second level contains ten thousand "Nine-Headed Pythons", whose intelligence far exceeds that of the Blood-Hair Mammoths of the first level, and they even understand how to cooperate in battle.

However, once the Source Divine Weapon was unleashed, the Nine-Headed Pythons fell like weak lambs, being slain instantly!

The third level featured illusory flying knives shaped like willow leaves darting back and forth, continuously piercing the cores of the Tuoluo Tribe Warriors.

Fourth level.

Fifth level.

At this moment, Zhou Yang held nothing back and erupted wildly!

The opponents of the seven stages of the first Trial Tower were swiftly swept away by him!

He did not linger, and rushed straight toward the next Trial Tower.

In the Virtual Universe, the Central Plaza housed 1,008 Immortal Beings, seated casually everywhere.

In front of them, massive floating screens displayed the leaderboard of this challenge match and some spectacular battle scenes.

Eliminations in the Trial Space are not broadcast to the entire Universe; only the leaderboard changes are made public, and the final arena showdown will be broadcast publicly!

However, the Immortal Beings of the various Universe Nations have permission to directly watch each participant's trial progress.

"That one called Bolan is truly ruthless, charging straight to the first spot upon arrival."

"Hmm!"

"So fast, Bolan's score is rising astonishingly, far pulling ahead of the second place."

"Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Nation's Rong Jun is also impressive; his points are now ranked 12th."

All 1,008 powerful Immortal Beings can easily view the leaderboard and watch the trial status.

Now they each represent their own Yuzhou Guo, and of course they all hope their nation's geniuses shine brighter, for that gives them face.

For these beings who have eternal years, face and dignity are very important.

Among the countless geniuses they watch, Noah Universe Nation's Bolan is undoubtedly the most dazzling!

Mutated spatial perception, speed beyond limits, and ultra‑strong Combat Secret Art!

Bolan seized the top of the leaderboard as soon as he appeared!

Moreover, his points are soaring at an absurd rate, nearly dozens of times faster than the second place!

"This Bolan is, without a doubt, the number one of this Genius Battle!"

"Indeed, a Stellar Level spatial perception already mutated like that, and it even catches up with an ordinary Realm Lord!"

The Immortal Beings chat casually, one after another.

"Overpraised, overpraised"

"Bolan, this kid still needs to work hard, haha, hahahaha~~~"

The Immortal strongman from Noah Universe Nation is even flushed with pride, his smug expression evident.

"Eh!"

At that moment, an Immortal wearing a blue robe with a white rhombus mark on his forehead lets out a light "Eh".

"What's wrong, Longuer?"

The Immortal Beings smile as they speak.

"Hmm?"

Yet in the next instant, they are instantly drawn to a name on the leaderboard!

That name rockets from the lower half of the list, leaping straight into the top thousand, then the top hundred, then the top ten.

Finally, it leaps past the widely‑expected Bolan and lands directly at first place!

But the moment his rank is overtaken, Bolan seems provoked; his point increase spikes dramatically, and he quickly reclaims the top.

However, the one who surpassed him is also unwilling to concede and pushes forward to chase!

In the following time, the two seem to be battling!

On the leaderboard, sometimes Bolan's name leads, other times the opponent overtakes!

Bolan, Zhou Yang!

These two names, in an interleaving ascent, firmly lock the top two spots on the leaderboard.

Moreover, the gap between their points and the third place is almost a tenfold chasm!

"Sss~"

"Where did another genius pop up! Zhou Yang of the Qianwu Universe Nation."

Even among the 1,008 powerful Immortal Beings, some can't help but gasp.

Many Immortal Beings quickly opened Zhou Yang's combat video, their surprised faces deepening.

"Whoa, Source Divine Weapon, nine flying daggers launched together—this power firmly places him in the top ten!"

"Not only that, see how his nine daggers coordinate flawlessly, clearly mastered, and he casually creates hundreds of spatial phantoms—obviously not his limit."

The Immortal with the white rhombus mark on his forehead says, "I think he might not be any worse than Bolan!"

"Not worse than Bolan?"

His words cause many Immortal Beings to be slightly surprised.

Another genius comparable to Bolan?

Bolan is deemed a once‑in‑ten‑million‑years unparalleled genius, and even many Universe Nation Lords are awestruck by his talent!

Another such genius?

"No, I must quickly report to the Nation Lord!"

The Immortal Beings swiftly report Zhou Yang's situation to the Nation Lord behind them.

Many even set their sights directly on the Qianwu Universe Nation's scale‑armor battle‑robe giant.

"Heh! Thirteen, your Qianwu Universe Nation hides quite deep!"

The Immortal Beings all wear envious expressions.

"You guys are good, you produced a Rong Jun, and you even hide an even stronger Zhou Yang; is your Qianwu Universe Nation holding back to surprise us?"

"Haha, it's a scare, actually!"

These Immortal Beings feel envy and jealousy, while some close friends are happy for the Qianwu Universe Nation.

And the scale‑armor battle‑robe giant 'Thirteen' from the Qianwu Universe Nation, whose face had been calm, finally now shows a rare smile.

He casts a glance at the many Immortals watching, lets out a proud snort, but pretends to speak casually:

"Overpraised, overpraised"

"Zhou Yang this little guy is still very immature; he still needs to keep working hard."

He almost repeats the words of the Noah Universe Nation Immortal just now.

"Hahaha~~"

"Thirteen this guy can also joke now, haha~~"

The group of Immortal Beings burst into laughter.

"In this Genius Battle, first Bolan appeared, now Zhou Yang shows up, along with Rong Jun, Long Yun, Augustus siblings, and others."

Even the Noah Universe Nation's Immortal strongman nods in admiration:

"The quality of this Genius Battle ranks among the higher levels in history!"

"Not bad, geniuses keep emerging from the major Yuzhou Guo, truly a blessing for our Human Race."

One after another, the Immortals are all chatting with smiles.

And under their gaze, those two dazzling names continue to alternate in endless cycles.

The first Trial Tower, the second, the third—continuing up to the sixth Trial Tower.

Over a million geniuses from the 1008 Yuzhou Guo, most of whom were eliminated from the Trial Tower space before the fifth Trial Tower.

These eliminated geniuses also gather on the plaza in the middle of the 1008th building, their gazes inevitably turning upward.

There, two massive screens floated side by side, and even the scenes on the screens were extremely similar.

Both screens displayed massive Insect Race Armies, each with a figure raging in savage slaughter!

On the left screen, a white‑robed youth wielding a Blood Sword appears.

With a slight movement of his figure, countless dense phantoms instantly materialized behind him.

A full thousand phantoms, each looking incredibly solid!

Bloodlight flashes, the sword's silhouette is fierce!

Each strike is as fast as lightning, as if space itself were being sliced!

Each strike is swift as a whirlwind, its trajectory unfathomable!

It seems as if a thousand phantoms are striking simultaneously!

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!".

The Blood Sword easily pierces the heads of Insect Race soldiers one by one, blood splattering continuously!

In the end, the supposedly massive Insect Race Army was completely wiped out by this single person with a Blood Sword!

And at the same moment, on the right screen.

Among the countless Insect Race armies, nine Xiu Xu Fei Dao instantly merged, condensing into a single, incredibly solid emerald Willow Leaf Flying Knife!

"Buzz!"

The Willow Leaf Flying Knife seemed to pierce space, instantly appearing before the Insect Race Queen amid the alien army.

A huge expression of terror flashes across the Insect Race Queen's enchanting, beautiful face!

"Puff!"

The knife sweeps by, that beautiful skull flies high, and the countless Insect Race army instantly loses its vitality!

In the next instant, under the gaze of 1008 powerful Immortals and over a million geniuses on the plaza.

The two figures on the screen: one in a white robe with a Blood Sword, the other standing on a Silver Star Plate, bearing an Ancient Simple Long Whip.

The two silhouettes almost simultaneously rushed into the final seventh Trial Tower!
