Sensational

"Clang!"

The primal energy weapons in their hands clashed once more. Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out from the point of impact, seemingly shattering space itself as invisible ripples washed over everything around them.

Seizing this opening, before his opponent could react, Ji Ning's clone unleashed the Gold elemental Dao. With a thought, he slashed his sword across his opponent's body, cutting them in half.

This was the first time he had used the Dao he had comprehended since entering the front tower.

After using the Dao, the power of his swordplay increased exponentially. Just as his opponent had said, there was a world of difference between him and someone who had only reached the Nine-layer Domain on the ninth floor.

Especially since he was using the Gold elemental Dao; its extreme sharpness could easily cut through the Nine-layer Domain defense his opponent had reinforced with the Earth elemental Dao.

Outside, even though they had anticipated it, the guardian Tian He was overjoyed when Ji Ning's clone used the Gold elemental Dao. He immediately sent the information to his immediate superior and his Immortal acquaintances.

After reviewing the preceding footage, Tian He had guessed that Ji Ning's clone had touched upon the threshold of the Earth elemental Dao, given his Earth-elemental Domain had reached the ninth layer.

He hadn't expected to still underestimate Ji Ning's clone. The moment the Gold elemental Dao was used, Tian He had no further reservations and sent out the news!

On a massive floating island at the center of the Gan Wu Secret Realm, it was called an island in comparison to the Gan Wu Continent, but its diameter actually exceeded one hundred million kilometers.

This island was named Dry-Sun Island and was the residence of King Gan Yang. The island boasted beautiful scenery, with cascading springs and waterfalls adorning the peaks. Countless exotic flowers, rare herbs, and precious trees grew there, and numerous buildings were scattered across the island.

In the central part of the island lay vast stretches of magnificent palace complexes. As King Gan Yang's private domain, the island was primarily inhabited by his direct descendants and some of his disciples.

Over countless ages, the population had grown considerably, but relative to the immense size of the island, it remained sparsely populated.

At this moment, within the largest palace at the center, King Gan Yang, seated on his throne, opened his eyes. His gaze was radiant and his presence imposing, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

He was a direct descendant of Lord Gan Wu, and after a long period, his own strength had reached the King-level peak. He was highly valued by Lord Gan Wu, who had appointed him to manage the Gan Wu Dojo, discover geniuses, and nurture powerful individuals.

Just moments ago, the message from the guardian Tian He had alerted him.

"Universe Level Nine peak, has passed the tenth floor of the Gan Wu Tower, suspected to have grasped two Daos. Not bad."

Yes, at this level, it could only be considered "not bad," especially since he was Universe Level Nine.

Comparing it to the Star Level genius battle of Luo Feng and his peers in the original timeline, almost all of the top 1000 in the universe had touched upon the threshold of the Dao.

The top dozens had almost all grasped two Daos, some even high-level Daos, and there was even a monstrous talent like Bolan, who had comprehended the Space Law to the point of being able to create thousands of Illusionary Bodies.

Of course, that was the result of 5,000 years of accumulation across the entire human territory. Undeniably, the strength he was currently displaying was not enough to surprise King Gan Yang.

If Ji Ning's clone only possessed the strength he had shown so far, he might rank among the top in the Gan Wu Secret Realm, but on a universal scale, he might not stand out.

To an Immortal King like King Gan Yang, geniuses of this caliber were commonplace in their long lives. However, very few managed to grow to their level, so he did not go there directly. He merely instructed the guardian Tian He to report the situation to him at all times.

In the virtual plane where the Gan Wu Tower was located, unbeknownst to the many testers in the plaza, numerous Immortals from the Gan Wu Secret Realm had descended.

As one of the guardians of this plane, Tian He knew when these Immortals arrived. He used his authority to project the situation inside the tower for them to watch.

They hid in the void, observing Ji Ning's every move within the Gan Wu Tower.

"How many floors do you think this kid can clear?"

"Looking at his performance on the tenth floor, passing the eleventh should not be difficult. The twelfth will be tough, as the guardian of the twelfth floor has already reached a certain level of comprehension in the Space Law!" said a giant man, eight meters tall, clad in scale armor.

"Thirteen, you're here too." Seeing the person speaking, everyone greeted him.

This person was one of Lord Gan Wu's personal guards, and his strength had reached the Marquis level. However, because he rarely went out for training as a personal guard, he did not possess the title of Marquis.

The Gan Wu Universe Kingdom boasted three hundred kings and marquises. Did this truly mean there were only 300 Marquises and Kings combined?

Clearly not. These 300 were merely enfeoffed, essentially holding official positions within the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom.

King Gan Yang, for instance, was the head of the Gan Wu Dojo. Furthermore, the titles conferred by the Gan Wu Universe Kingdom had no direct correlation with one's strength! Some individuals with the title of Marquis actually possessed the strength of a King; this was very common.

Ji Ning was unaware of everything happening outside, nor did he care.

Since he had decided to reveal his strength and attract the attention of important figures, hoping to gain access to more knowledge and protection, he had anticipated this situation.

He was currently battling the guardian of the eleventh floor. Unlike the guardian of the tenth floor, who had only grasped the basics of the Dao, the guardian of the eleventh floor had not only significantly improved his original Dao but had also grasped the High-level Space Dao.

The setting for the eleventh floor was within a planet's asteroid belt. Surrounding chaotic asteroids flew about at terrifying speeds, and one could be struck if not careful.

However, this did not pose much of a challenge to either of them. The battle was now drawing to a close. Ji Ning suddenly created hundreds of Illusionary Bodies, attacking the guardian with different sword stances. The guardian's nine Illusionary Bodies were instantly shattered, and his main body was also cut down with a single sword strike. Even an asteroid behind him was sliced in half.

Without much rest, Ji Ning's clone was teleported to a higher floor. He intended to go all out, to verify the extent of his capabilities.

With his full strength unleashed, he successfully passed the 12th floor, not with flashy techniques, but purely by overwhelming his opponent.

Soon, the 13th and 14th floors were also cleared. He finally fell on the 15th floor.

Although he hadn't used all his trump cards in this challenge, he had employed most of his conventional methods, such as his amplification technique that yielded over 60 times his normal strength, and his deeply comprehended Gold elemental Dao and Space Dao.

Yet, even these had caused a significant stir outside.

While he was still challenging the floors, especially after clearing the 12th floor, a large portion of the King-level powerhouses in the entire Gan Wu Secret Realm who received the news had descended upon the virtual plane of the Gan Wu Tower.

In the end, it even alarmed Lord Gan Wu, who immediately issued a gag order and instructed King Gan Yang to bring Ji Ning's clone to see him immediately after he finished his challenge!

After failing the challenge and being killed by his opponent, Ji Ning's clone was not teleported to the main entrance of the Gan Wu Tower but instead appeared before King Gan Yang.

"Ji Ning, I am the head of the Gan Wu Dojo. You are very good. As a Universe Level cultivator, you have cleared fourteen floors of the Gan Wu Tower. Among all the Universe Level cultivators in the current Gan Wu Universe Kingdom, you are the first."

"King Gan Yang, you flatter me. I am still far from it. The universe is vast, and there are many geniuses like me!" He knew who the head of the Gan Wu Dojo was.

"Yes, the universe is indeed too vast."

After a moment of reflection, King Gan Yang continued, "Let's go, Ji Ning. The Lord wishes to see you!"
