Path of the Thunder-Time Beast God, Venerable Yun Meng's Regret

The instant he killed the Zerg Mother Nest, Lu Ming felt the space before his eyes shift, and then he appeared in the central plaza.

The moment he appeared, the plaza, where over a million people had gathered, suddenly fell into deathly silence. Then, fervent discussion erupted with a bang!

"He actually... really made it through!"

"Has anyone ever truly cleared all seven Trial Towers before?"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"What kind of combat secret technique does he use? How can it be so powerful?"

"Yeah, just one breakthrough gave him a qualitative leap in strength. How did he do it?"

For an ordinary genius, even if they suddenly achieved a breakthrough in their grasp of the laws, their strength would at most rise by a small step. It was impossible for their strength to undergo a transformation as drastic as Lu Ming's.

There had to be some great secret hidden within Lu Ming's combat secret techniques. They simply could not see it.

But no matter what, Lu Ming's complete clearance of all seven Trial Towers, accomplishing a legendary miracle that no one had ever achieved before, was now an established fact.

After all, they had personally witnessed the birth of this brand-new legend.

"Haha, to witness the birth of such a peerless monster as Lu Ming in this era, we can all count ourselves honored!"

"Indeed. For Lu Ming to master the Huo Suo Codex at the Stellar level and even comprehend a trace of its core essence is truly astonishing!" The millions of geniuses did not know why Lu Ming had suddenly become so powerful, but these Immortal Beings understood the mystery perfectly well.

"Lightning and time can form an even more powerful fusion law. This path is powerful and difficult, but I believe Lu Ming absolutely has the qualifications to walk it!" The Immortal Being who had mentioned this matter when Lu Ming first revealed his Huo Suo True Body voiced his admiration once more.

"At the Stellar level, he can already fuse laws. Even if it is only a trace, it is still far too incredible. If I had not personally witnessed his breakthrough, I would not have dared believe it was real!" Another Immortal Being nodded solemnly as well.

At the final critical moment of danger on the second level of the seventh Trial Tower, the move Lu Ming had suddenly unleashed, Starfall, was in fact a trump card containing a trace of fusion law!

In terms of the depth to which they involved two Origin Laws, Extreme Point Instant Thunder, Lightning Magnetic Space, and Starfall were actually on the same level.

The only difference was that the first two moves, like the techniques used by those who controlled the Nine Divine Weapons, merely involved a combination of the two great Origin Laws of lightning and time.

The latter move, however, had truly given the two great Origin Laws of lightning and time a trace of fusion!

One was a combination, while the other was fusion.

A tiny difference could lead to worlds apart!

In essence, Lu Ming's breakthrough had not brought any major progress in his comprehension of the two great Origin Laws. He had merely fused a trace of the content of the two Origin Laws he had already grasped.

And that was precisely what created the miracle of him cutting through all seven Trial Towers in one go!

If he had relied purely on his comprehension of the foundational laws, even with a breakthrough in the midst of battle, Lu Ming definitely could not have achieved this.

It could only be said that this miracle had been brought about by a convergence of countless fortunate circumstances.

Listening to the discussions around him, Lu Ming remained completely unaffected as he calmly walked back to the Jinlan Universe Kingdom Genius Team.

Looking at Lu Ming's seemingly small figure, which nevertheless felt as though it were suspended high above the ninth heaven, even Sajia, Rudy, and the others who had known him at the Jinlan Dojo could not find the courage or a topic to approach him for conversation.

They did not even dare take the initiative to walk up to Lu Ming and offer a simple word of congratulations.

Because the radiance surrounding Lu Ming was simply too dazzling at that moment. It was as blinding and scorching as the sun, making even these "mortals" afraid to approach him.

Lu Ming still did not care about any of this.

As expected, my guess was right. Some of the ultimate techniques in the Huo Suo Codex truly involve fusion laws. As Lu Ming carefully reflected on the mysteries contained within Starfall, he completely confirmed his earlier speculation.

The secret codex bestowed by the Jinlan Kingdom Lord was indeed closely connected to the Path of the Thunder-Time Beast God.

However, compared to a complete secret technique like Beast God Seven Slaughters from the original work, the Huo Suo Codex likely only touched upon a relatively basic portion of the Thunder-time Fusion Law.

"Lu Ming, come with me." Before Lu Ming could think further, the unconcealedly delighted voice of Nine Peaks Divine General suddenly rang in his ear.

"Next should be the arena battles, right?" Lu Ming turned toward one section of the central plaza and saw that all 1,008 powerful Immortal Beings had risen and were flying toward the genius teams of their respective universe kingdoms.

Among them, Nine Peaks Divine General, clad in golden armor, instantly arrived before the Jinlan genius team and shouted, "Everyone, return to your residences."

Immediately.

The 1,008 genius teams, led by their Immortal Beings, returned to their respective residences.

First floor of Building 0513.

The thousand genius members of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom Genius Team stood there, respectful and silent beneath the overwhelming pressure of Nine Peaks Divine General.

"Lu Ming's performance in the previous Trial Tower assessment was nothing short of perfect." When Nine Peaks Divine General looked at Lu Ming, there was also a faint smile on his face.

He had completely cleared all seven Trial Towers and earned a staggering seventy-plus billion points. Even the second-place contender did not have a fraction of Lu Ming's score. How could such a result not be perfect?

Hearing Nine Peaks Divine General's praise, the other geniuses of Jinlan Universe Kingdom focused their gazes on Lu Ming once again, but all they felt was helplessness and despair.

Before such a peerless monster, they were not even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him.

"However, aside from Lu Ming, all of your performances were quite ordinary... Your journey in this Genius Battle ends here," Nine Peaks Divine General continued.

In truth, if Lu Ming had not appeared, Jinlan Universe Kingdom's performance in this Genius Battle would have been extremely poor. They would not even have had a single person qualified to participate in the peak Arena Finals.

But one Lu Ming was enough.

He alone was enough to look down upon all the other competitors!

"The rest of you may now return directly to reality and leave this place. Or you may wait for a while, and the Virtual Universe system will directly transport those of you who have been eliminated back to your respective universe kingdom continents."

"As for Lu Ming, come with me." Seeing Lu Ming's composed manner, Jiu Yue felt increasingly satisfied.

Although several decent prospects had emerged in this Genius Battle, the gap between them and Lu Ming was simply too great. They could not pose any threat at all.

In this Genius Battle, Jinlan Universe Kingdom was determined to take first place!

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island, within Venerable Yun Meng's temple.

Wearing white feathered robes and possessing Golden Wings behind her back, Venerable Yun Meng of the Dream Snail Wing Race was the great being presiding over this Genius Battle.

"Venerable, the Trial Space has ended. The selection for the Arena Finals will begin tomorrow." A beautiful woman in pink-and-white battle armor, with three pairs of translucent wings, bowed as she spoke.

Venerable Yun Meng replied gently, "I understand."

As a Venerable, she naturally had no interest in watching the trial process of a group of little ones. She had merely instructed Queen Butterfly, the strongest King-level Immortal under her command, to keep watch for her and notify her when the time came.

Queen Butterfly respectfully said, "Venerable, a super genius who cleared all seven Trial Towers has appeared in this Genius Battle."

"Oh? Someone cleared all seven Trial Towers?" Venerable Yun Meng appeared somewhat surprised.

Although those seven Trial Towers had been set up for Stellar-level geniuses, they still held great significance. Under normal circumstances, it was virtually impossible for anyone to clear them at the Stellar level.

Yet the true monsters of human history often shattered ordinary people's understanding and turned the impossible into possible.

"Venerable, this genius is Lu Ming from Jinlan Universe Kingdom." Queen Butterfly continued, bringing up footage of Lu Ming's progress through the Trial Towers for Venerable Yun Meng to view.

In just an instant, Venerable Yun Meng noticed Lu Ming's "transformation."

"At the Stellar level, he can already fuse a trace of two Origin Laws. Not bad." Venerable Yun Meng nodded in satisfaction, then praised, "If this trend continues, he has hope of traveling a great distance on the Path of the Beast God in the future."

"It is only a pity that I have not delved deeply into the Path of the Thunder-Time Beast God, so it would not be appropriate for me to directly accept him as a disciple." After praising him, Venerable Yun Meng could not help but feel some regret.
