Chapter 119: The Seventh Trial Tower

The surface of the gigantic mother nest, about fifty stories high, was pitted, and suddenly a swarm of blue‑green, slime‑slick, triangular‑headed Insect Race with blue carapace erupted.

They have two antennae, compound eyes, a lean body, two hind limbs supporting the torso, four forelimbs that resemble battle blades, and two translucent wings on the back.

In almost an instant, a thousand Insect Race emerged.

After three consecutive waves, about three thousand Insect Race appeared, all uniformly green mantises.

"All at once they released three thousand green mantises. The mother nest has discharged its entire stock at once; the next batch should come in twenty minutes." Xiao Yu smiled at the number of Insect Race that emerged.

Finishing these three thousand green mantises in twenty minutes poses no problem.

He moved, instantly splitting into a thousand illusory forms, maintaining high speed to begin a terrifying slaughter; his Fourth-tier Force Weapon Crescent Blade acted like a reaper, wildly harvesting the lives of the Insect Race cannon fodder.

In less than ten minutes, not a single green mantis remained; all were slain, then he cleaved the Insect Queen's mother nest like lightning, gravely wounding the Insect Queen, slightly restored his stamina, then directly killed the queen, and was teleported to the Seventh Trial Tower.

……

In the central plaza, tens of thousands of geniuses suddenly burst into exclamations.

"Heavens!"

"To think they passed the sixth Trial Tower's seventh floor so quickly—less than half an hour!"

"But with each tower, the difficulty spikes dramatically! The first floor of the seventh tower is several times harder than the seventh floor of the sixth tower."

"I wonder if he will make it through."

At this moment, the scoreboard on the big screen shifted to:

NO1: Xiao Yu (Qian Wu Universe Country), Points: 7,777,770,000;

NO2: Bo Lan (Noah Universe Country), Points: 1,777,700,000…

"Bo Lan has also reached the second floor of the fifth Trial Tower."

……

Seventh Trial Tower, First Floor.

Still a ten‑thousand‑strong horde of blood‑haired mammoths, each massive; each blood‑haired mammoth exudes an aura surpassing 99.9% of the hundred‑thousand geniuses, and each one's strength rivals the top hundred geniuses.

Wearing a Blue Force Armor, Xiao Yu moved, manifesting three thousand illusory forms, his speed surpassing that on the seventh floor of the sixth tower.

The blood‑haired mammoths launched attacks at the illusory forms, each imbued with the Fundamental Law, terrifyingly powerful.

From any of the three thousand illusory forms, Xiao Yu could strike; each slash killed a blood‑haired mammoth.

Each slash cleaved the mammoth's neck, spraying blood repeatedly; each slain mammoth could compare with those ranked in the top hundred overall.

Precision! Unparalleled precision!

This is Xiao Yu's swordsmanship now.

The blood‑haired mammoths collapsed with a roar, while the remaining ones continued to swarm Xiao Yu; the three thousand illusory forms, like three thousand Xiao Yus, attacked from different angles, swiftly slaying the mammoths.

Honestly, among these ten thousand blood‑haired mammoths, some were not worth killing.

The last blood‑haired mammoth fell, and Xiao Yu glanced down at the screen.

Participant: Xiao Yu (Qian Wu Universe Country)

Points: 17,777,770,000

Rank: 1

Then Xiao Yu was teleported to the second floor.

……

In a corner of the central plaza, 1,008 great Immortal beings sat together discussing each genius's trial.

"Thirteen, look, Xiao Yu has already cleared the first floor of the seventh tower," said the Silver‑robed Giant.

"What?"

"He actually made it through the first floor."

"Quickly check how he did it."

"That's three thousand illusory forms, the Hundred‑Line Flow of the third layer, almost reaching the fourth layer!"

"Xiao Yu's performance on the second floor was also impressive; that was five thousand illusory forms. I didn't expect him to have hidden strength when he cleared the first layer," the Silver‑robed Giant said to the Scale‑armor Giant, "Thirteen, this time your Qian Wu Universe Country is thriving; it looks like Xiao Yu is the only one."

"Haha, his performance was decent, not disappointing the Nation Lord's expectations," the Scale‑armor Giant smiled.

"It seems the second floor can no longer hold back Xiao Yu's pace," a Black‑robed Giant whispered, "Guess how many floors this youngster can reach."

"From the second floor onward, the trial beings grow stronger and wiser," the Silver‑robed Giant began, "If Xiao Yu has already mastered the Ten‑Thousand‑Line Flow, I estimate he can reach the fifth floor."

"If there's no prize, guessing correctly is meaningless," Scale‑armor Giant Thirteen laughed.

"Then let's add a prize. I bet Xiao Yu will reach the fourth floor, winning a battle‑axe‑shaped relic obtained during an expedition of the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm," the Black‑robed Giant said.

"I bet Xiao Yu will reach the third floor…"

……

One by one, the strongest among the Immortals joined the wager; endless ages give them few things of interest, and a little guy's trial progress—how many floors he can clear? —has become one of the few things that intrigues them.

……

Second floor: ten thousand enlightened nine‑headed python beasts that had grasped a hint of the Fundamental Law, yet they could not halt Xiao Yu's advance.

Teleported to the third floor.

Here stood a thousand metallic life Torra warriors; having fought six battles, Xiao Yu knew these Torra warriors matched the first‑floor blood‑haired mammoths in strength, only wiser, and possessed a racial talent: fusion.

The thousand Torra warriors could fuse into a single, far larger warrior whose power multiplied by hundreds.

If a pre‑fusion Torra warrior's strength equated to Universe-level, then the fused warrior's strength equated to Domain Lord Level.

To prevent their successful fusion, Xiao Yu instantly became ten thousand illusory forms, his movement inscrutably bizarre.

The ten thousand illusory forms, like Xiao Yu's myriad incarnations, allowed any single form to act as his true body, delivering lethal strikes to the Torra warriors' vital points.

Each slash Xiao Yu delivered contained the unfathomable power of the Fundamental Law.

Torra warriors fell one by one. Each roared and attacked Xiao Yu, each blow capable of killing a top‑ten genius.

The Tuo Luo tribe warriors, originally scattered, gathered toward each other, seeking to unite quickly and fend off Xiao Yu's slaughter.

Xiao Yu continuously manifested myriad phantom forms, repeatedly preventing the Tuo Luo tribe warriors from gathering, while harvesting their lives.

After several rounds of fighting, only about a hundred Tuo Luo tribe warriors remained gathered together; streaks of golden light flashed from their bodies, and then these metallic lives melted together, forming a thirty‑meter‑tall metal warrior.

An arm, one meter in thickness and gleaming with metallic sheen, swung a massive war blade.

This thirty‑meter‑tall Tuo Luo tribe warrior grew larger in size, but its movements did not slow; instead, they became several times faster.

With myriad phantom forms, Xiao Yu's movements were uncanny; even the Tuo Luo tribe warriors whose strength had increased dozens of times could not strike him for a moment. Whenever the war blade was about to cleave Xiao Yu, he instantly appeared at another phantom form nearby.

He then launched a lethal attack toward the enlarged Tuo Luo tribe warrior.

In an instant, the Tuo Luo tribe warrior's arms fell off, the war blade hit the ground, and the thirty‑meter‑tall Tuo Luo tribe warrior collapsed with a roar, splitting into dozens of Tuo Luo tribe warriors.
