Bursting Forth in Desperation

!

The total points from the first six Trial Towers combined amounted to over 7.7 billion, while the seventh Trial Tower awarded ten billion points for its first floor alone!

Such an enormous point reward... naturally meant the difficulty had risen to hellish levels!

"My god, this isn't a joke, is it?!"

"Terrifying."

"The Blood-Haired Mammoths in the seventh Trial Tower are actually this strong! Each of those ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths probably has the strength of someone in the top 100 overall rankings." The watching young geniuses were all stunned.

The difficulty of the seventh Trial Tower was simply heaven-defying. Every one of the ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths on the first floor had attacks imbued with Origin Laws, making them terrifyingly powerful.

In the first Trial Tower, the vicious beasts known as Blood-Haired Mammoths had been utterly swept aside. They had been extremely weak.

But with the second Trial Tower, the third Trial Tower...

The Blood-Haired Mammoths' combat strength rose to a new level again and again. By the time they reached the seventh Trial Tower, any one of the ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths could slaughter 99.99% of the million geniuses in this competition! And when ten thousand of them joined forces to attack... that was simply a nightmare.

"How are we supposed to fight this?" Countless geniuses stared blankly at the only lit screen ahead, their minds filled with confusion.

"Is this as far as he goes?" Many Immortal Beings were also staring intently at the live broadcast.

In their judgment, Lu Ming's chances of clearing this floor were tiny—practically nonexistent!

Yet the next second, their pupils contracted again—

Lu Ming stood above the grassland world, watching the Blood-Haired Mammoths charging at him from all directions. He immediately transformed into his Huo Suo True Body form. Then, facing straight ahead, he let out an enraged roar like thunder exploding across dry land!

"Boom!"

A startling scene unfolded!

The fur all over the bodies of the Blood-Haired Mammoths charging wildly at Lu Ming suddenly stood on end. They let out terrified cries, as though they had suddenly encountered their mortal enemy, then turned around and fled for their lives!

The Blood-Haired Mammoths fled backward in sheer terror, even crashing into their own companions without hesitation!

"Roar!"

"Roar... roar..."

Chaos. Complete chaos!

The panicked roars of the Blood-Haired Mammoth herd rose and fell like a flood, surging into the clouds as the grassland below trembled violently.

"Vicious beasts without intelligence really are easy to scare." Lu Ming smiled faintly at the masterpiece before him, then immediately pursued the few Blood-Haired Mammoths closest to him!

"Extreme Point Instant Thunder—Break!"

Still controlling the Spherical Electromagnetic Space Domain, Lu Ming transformed into a flickering bolt of lightning and shot madly toward the primitive grassland world below.

Then, an incomparably shocking yet absurd sight appeared.

All ten thousand fierce Blood-Haired Mammoths scattered across the grasslands like a flock of terrified sheep, while Lu Ming, transformed into the Huo Suo Giant Beast, was like a majestic lion freely chasing its prey across the plains, unleashing a bloody slaughter!

If all ten thousand "sheep" had worked together to fight their enemy, then no matter how strong the lone "lion" was, it would have been easily crushed.

But now, those ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths had clearly been scared out of their wits. They could only let Lu Ming slaughter them at will!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One Blood-Haired Mammoth after another was caught by Lu Ming on the grasslands, then killed with a single thrust of his spear and blasted into pieces!

Strangely, this bloody slaughter failed to awaken their vicious nature. They still only focused on fleeing for their lives!

Within the grassland world.

Compared to the ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths running about like headless flies, the rampaging Lu Ming was perhaps the true "vicious beast" on this battlefield.

In the central plaza.

The millions of genius experts, along with the Immortal Beings, all fell silent.

"What just happened?!"

After a long silence, someone finally could not help asking the question.

Everyone understood that the Blood-Haired Mammoth herd's abnormal behavior must have been related to Lu Ming. Yet they still found it hard to imagine what kind of move could produce such an outrageous effect.

"Is this guy really human?" Someone could not help wondering.

After all, those ten thousand Blood-Haired Mammoths each possessed the strength of a genius ranked in the top 100 overall. Yet before Lu Ming, they were like mindless lambs, helplessly awaiting slaughter.

This horrifying scene sent chills through the hearts of many top geniuses near the top of the rankings.

The genius controller from the Azure Feather Clan, the Imperial Daughter of the Peakrock Universe Kingdom, the illusionist genius Remnant Dream, the perfect warrior Kun Zhou... all of them stared fixedly at the screen. Even after witnessing Lu Ming kill every Blood-Haired Mammoth on the first floor, it felt as if a massive boulder weighed on their hearts, leaving them unable to breathe.

Such a despairing gap made them afraid to even entertain thoughts of resistance.

"Was that an illusion technique?" an Immortal God asked uncertainly.

"No, it should have been a Soul Impact technique! It's very simple and crude, but against vicious beasts that have no reason and act only on instinct, it truly has an exceptional effect!" A tall Immortal wearing an iron mask had a glint flash through his eyes beneath the mask.

"I never expected this little fellow to have such a move!"

"With Soul Impact this powerful, his consciousness and will must be astonishingly strong as well!"

"If he were a Mental Master, he might still have a chance of clearing another floor or two. What a pity that he's a warrior." Some Immortal Beings also felt regret for Lu Ming.

"Indeed. Soul Impact works well only against vicious beasts like Blood-Haired Mammoths. The Nine-Headed Pythons on the second floor won't be so easily thrown into chaos."

"If he has no other trump cards, he should fall on the second floor."

The surrounding Immortals all made this confident judgment.

Although Lu Ming had slaughtered the first floor as easily as a tiger entering a flock of sheep, that was mainly because the Blood-Haired Mammoths were vicious beasts with low intelligence.

Just as ordinary beasts would be frightened off by flames or firecrackers, the Blood-Haired Mammoth herd had scattered in panic after being struck by Lu Ming's Soul Impact technique. Naturally, they no longer posed any threat.

The Nine-Headed Python herd on the second floor, however, had the same individual strength and numbers as the Blood-Haired Mammoths on the first floor. But Nine-Headed Pythons were demonic beasts, their intelligence no less than that of humans at the same level. If Lu Ming repeated the same move, at most he would make them "jump in fright" and fall into disarray for a moment.

But it would not take long for these highly intelligent demonic beasts to suppress the fear in their hearts and resume their siege against Lu Ming!

Could Lu Ming still create a miracle then?

Everyone silently watched Lu Ming's battle broadcast.

Within the Trial Space, Lu Ming had no idea of the attention and discussion outside. He went straight to the next floor.

Second floor of the seventh Trial Tower.

"Roar!"

The moment he entered, Lu Ming once again used the Soul Impact secret technique, "Intimidation," unleashing thunderous roars that echoed without end!

"Boom!" "Thud!" "Bang!"...

The many Nine-Headed Pythons winding toward Huo Suo Lu Ming immediately displayed varying degrees of negative reactions upon being struck by Lu Ming's domineering Soul Impact.

The several dozen closest Nine-Headed Pythons suffered the strongest Soul Impact, their bodies trembling so violently that they could no longer continue attacking. Those farther away, however, were only slightly affected in their movements. They remained clear-headed and continued their assault!

"This is dangerous!" Everyone's hearts rose to their throats upon seeing this perilous scene.

"Kill!"

Yet Lu Ming on the screen seemed not to notice that he was already on the brink of desperation. He continued forward without hesitation, swinging his spear as he charged into the demonic beast horde!

"Boom!" The bodies of one Nine-Headed Python after another exploded into bloody mist in midair, and Lu Ming's points continued to rise rapidly.

But at the same time—

"He's injured! Lu Ming is injured!" A group of geniuses outside the screen cried out in shock.

This was the first time Lu Ming had been injured in the Trial Space!

So he could be injured too.

"This is bad!" Many Immortal Beings watching the scene inwardly sighed. An injury often meant diminished combat strength, which would only lead to a quicker death.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Ming erupted in the depths of despair!

Like a true Starry Sky Giant Beast, not only did his injury fail to affect his combat strength in the slightest, it instead completely unleashed his ferocity!

The Spherical Electromagnetic Space Domain suddenly condensed entirely onto the bloodstained spear shaft, making his next strike seem to carry the weight of an entire world!

When he smashed out with his spear, he killed several hundred Nine-Headed Pythons in a single blow.

The situation reversed in an instant!
