"Not necessarily. While it's not impossible, I know he won't force it," Thunder Robe King said. "It's clear that Yang Yu isn't the kind of person who's superficial or boastful; he only focuses on honing his skills to the maximum extent possible."

Those who can calm their minds and comprehend the Law Essence are not the kind of people who are superficial, boastful, or showy.

Thunder Robe King's guess was accurate. With his speed advantage, Yang Yu could easily hunt down the Mammoth Beast in front of him using only his first form.

But that would just turn it into a mere display of Movement Technique and speed, without actually honing one's combat skills.

Now unleash a second Illusory Lightning: one to further refine the 'Lightning Light Curtain,' and the other for slaughter!

"Boom!"

While swimming among the mammoths, Yang Yu was distracted, manipulating two Illusory Lightning to fight his enemies with completely different moves.

The Psychic Amplitude has reached 70, which means that I can use it at a rate of 70!

It was like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

The Illusory Lightning, primarily used for killing, was so fast that its trajectory was impossible to track, and in a fleeting moment, it took the head of the Mammoth Beast.

But in the blink of an eye, it cleaved the entire Mammoth Beast in two with an absolutely explosive force!

"Another fully comprehended Law Essence the Leidian law!" Thunder Robe King stared intently at the Illusory Lightning that Yang Yu had deliberately unleashed, his heart deeply shaken. "The Essence of Judgment!"

"And it's the Essence of Judgment!"

As the most powerful Law Essence in the Lightning Law, with the strongest direct attack, the Thunder Robe King was well aware of the ferocity of the Essence of Judgment.

His ability to forge a formidable reputation among countless races and immortals on the Outer-Domain Battlefield owes much to the Essence of Judgment!

"Tsk tsk, what a fierce attack! I feel like a real Leidian is constantly 'Judgment Profundity' those Mammoth Beasts!" The female deputy examiner was so shocked that she was almost numb.

The Thunder God Weapon, as the most violent weapon in terms of frontal attack among the Nine Great Controller God Weapons, is naturally not that simple.

Yang Yu, through the Thunder God Weapon, perfectly brought out the Essence of Judgment in terms of Material Attack.

This was also thanks to the fact that the Thunder God Weapon was originally engraved with corresponding Law Secret Pattern, which Yang Yu mastered in a short time.

On the contrary, the progress in applying the Essence of Judgment to Soul Attack is very slow, since one is readily available, while the other requires exploration from scratch.

The speeds are naturally different.

Feeling the immense power of the Thunder God Weapon, Yang Yu felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill them until the heavens and earth are darkened!"

At this moment, Yang Yu was thoroughly enjoying the thrill of this extreme killing!

Even Zhuliuyin Clone, who was immersed in cultivating the Time Law in the real world, temporarily stopped cultivating and showed an expression of enjoyment.

"This is the real battle!"

On the battlefield.

As bolts of Leidian relentlessly 'Judgment Profundity' the Blood-Haired Mammoth, each giant mammoth could not withstand even a single round under the bright Purple Lightning.

Each one was easily cleaved from head to tail!

These Blood-Haired Mammoth were helpless against Yang Yu!

"Watching him fight is a real treat." This was the common sentiment among all the examiners who watched Yang Yu's battle.

Blood, lightning.

A shattered, Blood-Haired Mammoth; a handsome young man roaming freely across the battlefield.

This scene was extremely impactful.

Finally.

A few minutes later.

Yang Yu finished the slaughter. Seeing that there wasn't a single intact Blood-Haired Mammoth on the ground, Yang Yu stepped into the next trial space.

The thousand stronger and more intelligent nine-headed Demon Beast were all wiped out in less than a minute when Yang Yu unleashed the Second Form the Thunder God Weapon, combining offense and defense.

Next are the third, fourth, and fifth floors.

Yang Yu easily swept them all.

We've reached the sixth floor.

This is a vast wasteland, where ten enormous, dark golden creatures— the Starry Sky Behemoth 'Cang'—are either lying down or walking and patrolling.

Among the 'Gold Attribute' Starry Sky Behemoth, the first place naturally belongs to the 'Golden Horned Behemoth,' which is one of the twelve Peak Bloodline of Starry Sky Behemoth, and the second place belongs to the 'Azure' before us!

Although it cannot compare to the Golden Horned Behemoth, it is still a favorite of the Gold Origin Law, and it also possesses Talent Secret Technique and Inherited Memory!

In terms of combat power, talent, comprehension, growth potential, and other average aspects, it is slightly stronger than the most Peak Bloodline!

The ten colossal Starry Sky Behemoth 'Cang' before us are about 300 meters long, with tails almost as long as their bodies. Their entire bodies are covered in dark gold scales, and there are sharp, protruding spikes on their backs.

Its head was enormous, but the top was bald. Its wide, blood-red maw was chilling, filled with incredibly sharp teeth and an astonishing bite force. Beneath its scales were a pair of huge, triangular eyes, filled with a cold, bloodthirsty, and cruel rage.

"Hum!"

The ten colossal Starry Sky Behemoth, 'Cang', all turned their enormous heads to look at the tiny Human Yang Yu before them.

His incredibly human-like eyes were filled with amusement.

In their view, humans, a race inherently weak, are not worthy of being their adversaries.

This is a source of pride unique to the Starry Sky Behemoth race!

Yang Yu had easily passed the first five levels, but the difficulty of the sixth level had clearly increased significantly.

The Starry Sky Behemoth Cang is far superior to the previous Mechanical Puppet and nine-headed Demon Beast in terms of both agility and combat skills.

Yang Yu took Cang seriously, as Cang had already stepped into the threshold of the Origin Law and had a considerable level of comprehension.

"Boom!"

Stepping on the Thunder Light Disc, Yang Yu transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged head-on towards the Ten-Headed Azure Dragon!

"Hum!"

Seeing that the tiny humans before him dared to launch an attack, Cang felt his deep-seated pride had been offended.

Instantly, ten enormous azure beasts transformed into Golden Flowing Light and charged towards Yang Yu.

Seeing that Cang's flight speed was barely keeping up with his, Yang Yu revealed a mysterious smile, and with a thought, his speed increased again!

It traced a graceful trajectory, bypassing the fastest charging blue dragon.

"Hum!!!"

Realizing that the humans before him were not so easy to deal with, the leader, Cang, immediately shouted.

The nine-headed dragon behind it immediately roared and then formed a combined Combined Attack Battle Formation.

It's obvious.

Yang Yu's speed, which was beyond their comprehension, made them take him seriously.

Compared to their inner pride, failure is what they feel most ashamed of!

"Interesting."

Yang Yu, who was rapidly circling around the edge of the battlefield, did not rush to make a move, preparing to have a proper encounter with this legendary Starry Sky Behemoth.

"Whoosh!"

Two bolts of lightning, almost solidified, slashed fiercely towards the leader, Cang!

"Smack!"

At the critical moment, the strongest of the two beasts unleashed its full potential, its tail lashing out and narrowly striking an Illusory Lightning of lightning.

But another bolt of lightning struck its eye directly, piercing its skull with a violent thud!

The leading Starry Sky Behemoth Cang, perished!

"Hum!!!"

Seeing their leader so easily killed, the other nine-headed dragons were filled with fear and unleashed their killing moves.

In an instant.

On the battlefield, the Gold Origin Law rippled outwards.

The enormous tail and hooves of the azure beast, imbued with the profound Gold Origin Law, lunged at Yang Yu.

"It's useless!"

Yang Yu's eyes were filled with composure.

He knew very well that although the Starry Sky Behemoth were extremely powerful, fast, had terrifyingly strong attack power, and were extremely talented, humans of the same or even higher level dared not confront them head-on. However, the Starry Sky Behemoth's only weakness was their enormous size!

Their large size makes it difficult to face smaller opponents, such as humans.

If you can't keep up with the speed of your opponent, the enormous size of the Starry Sky Behemoth will become a weakness!

"A decent understanding of the Gold Origin Law, and the combat skills are also good, but that's about it."

Yang Yu commented with great interest.

Each of these ten colossal Starry Sky Behemoth Cang could easily qualify for the Taichu Secret Realm if taken to participate in the Genius Competition!

That is indeed the case.

In Yang Yu's generation of the Genius Competition, many of the final members of the Taichu Secret Realm perished here.

He was surrounded and killed by ten giant tigers.

This demonstrates their tenacity and strength.

But Yang Yu only felt it was a little troublesome.

His eyes turned cold.

He unleashed two almost tangible, Illusory Lightning that crashed down upon the remaining Cang.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Nine sounds rang out in succession.

The remaining nine-headed Cang were all killed by the Thunder God Weapon who pierced their skulls.

"That was truly clean and efficient," the assistant examiners praised.

Thunder Robe King nodded repeatedly as he watched.

If they could pass the sixth floor of the Fifth Trial Tower so easily, then their chances of passing the next Sixth Trial Tower completely are indeed quite high.

Yes.

Even with Yang Yu's impressive performance, in the eyes of Thunder Robe King and the other examiners, he only had a chance of successfully passing the Sixth Trial Tower.

The Special Assessment set up by the Virtual Universe Company is indeed a whole level more difficult than selection methods like the Genius Competition!

After all, passing the assessment allows direct entry into the Primal Secret Realm, making one a core member. Naturally, the difficulty level is the highest.

Moreover, the average level of the champions in previous Genius Competition is actually only passing the sixth or seventh floor of the Fifth Trial Tower.

As for the Sixth Trial Tower?

Those who can pass the first level are truly Peerless Genius.

As long as he doesn't encounter Peerless Genius like Boluo, who only appears once every tens of thousands of epochs, then he will undoubtedly be the number one in that generation of Genius Competition!

However, the Special Assessment now requires passing the Sixth Trial Tower completely!

This requirement is about as difficult as selecting a genius like Boluo.

Given the high level of difficulty, it's only natural that passing it would grant direct entry into the Primal Secret Realm. This is also why the examiners, including Thunder Robe King, weren't very optimistic about Yang Yu's chances of succeeding.

But is this Yang Yu's limit?

Obviously not!

Yang Yu hasn't even used the Time Law yet!

Even powerful Soul Attack Ultimate Move were useless!

As the space blurred, Yang Yu was teleported to the seventh floor.

The Zerg Mother Empress is still in this Trial Space.

However, its overall strength, troop production speed, and ability to create Zerg Warrior far surpass the Zerg Mother Empress in the previous Trial Tower.

This is a desert that appears to stretch endlessly.

In the distance, on the green land, there is a huge sphere, 120 meters in diameter, with a pitted and uneven surface. Some venom flows on the surface of the sphere, and it faintly emits poisonous gas.

At the same time, a large number of various Zerg Warrior began to emerge from inside the giant sphere.

120 meters is equivalent to a 40-story building on Earth. That is to say, from the pitted 'holes' on the surface of the giant Mother Nest, which is about 40 stories high, suddenly emerged one after another of the triangular-headed, bluish Zerg covered with bluish carapaces and covered with a little sticky mucus.

These Zerg Warrior have two antennae, large compound eyes that take up almost a third of their heads, and are very strong. They have two hind limbs supporting their bodies, as well as four forelimbs that resemble War Blade. They also have two translucent wings on their backs.

'Green Mantis!'

The combat-type Zerg among Zerg Warrior!

The enormous Mother Nest, 40 stories high, had pits and holes each about a meter in diameter. Almost instantly, 1,000 Zerg surged out of the Mother Nest's surface!

This Zerg Warrior are being bred at a rate more than ten times faster than the previous Zerg Mother Empress!

This was also something that Virtual Universe Company specifically adjusted when the Special Assessment was initiated.

The Zerg Mother Empress's unit production speed in the Genius Competition is actually not that fast.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

In three consecutive rounds, approximately 3,000 Zerg emerged, all of them being 'Green Mantis'!

Although the Green Mantis is considered one of the most common cannon fodder among the 'combat-type Zerg,' it is cannon fodder that appears in the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

If it appeared within Human Territory, even the weakest Green Mantis could sweep across a Life Planet, while one reaching the strength of World Lord could sweep across an entire star system!!!

After all, in the real world, even the weakest Zerg Mother Empress is at the World Lord Level, and the weakest Zerg Warrior she spawns are at the Star Level!

With a little effort, one can cultivate Zerg Warrior at the World Lord Level.

As for the strength of the 'Zerg Mother Nest' in the trial space, it has obviously been adjusted. Otherwise, a real Zerg Mother Nest could give rise to many different types, which can be divided into detection, assassination, ranged attack, and assault types, etc., based on their functions.

If we categorize it by structure, there are even more subcategories.

And the troop production speed is even faster!

This is what makes the Zerg race so terrifying.

"3,000 Green Mantis."

Yang Yu frowned slightly as he watched the overwhelming swarms of Green Mantis flying in at breakneck speed, some from the ground and some from the air. "The Mother Nest has released all its stock at once. The next batch should be in two minutes."

It takes time for the Zerg to hatch in the Mother Nest within the Trial Tower.

These 3,000 were clearly gestated early on; of course, in reality, Mother Nest's gestation capacity wouldn't be that poor. Otherwise, how could it so easily occupy a star system or even a star region?

"Kill!"

Yang Yu's eyes turned cold, and he unleashed his Thunder Body Technique, starting a terrifying slaughter with a speed far exceeding that of the Green Mantis. A wisp of Leidian formed a defensive 'Lightning Light Curtain,' while another illusory Leidian launched an attack, piercing through the entire swarm of insects time and time again, killing one Green Mantis after another.

"It's stronger than I expected." Although the kill speed still seemed fast, Yang Yu still frowned slightly.

Each of these three thousand Green Mantis is almost as strong as the Starry Sky Behemoth Cang from before. If ten Cangs were placed here...

They wouldn't even last a second before being hunted and devoured by these three thousand Green Mantis!

But Yang Yu has only revealed one-tenth of his strength!

With his feet firmly planted on the Thunder Light Disc, Yang Yu's speed suddenly surged once again!

The 'speed' essence of the Lightning Law is perfectly embodied at this moment through a fifth-tier Flying Spiritual Weapon!

"Wow! Just how fast is this kid?" The female examiner looked like she'd seen a ghost. "Logically, Star Level speed shouldn't be this fast."

"This is the 'fast' essence of the Lightning Law, which excels in speed. Moreover, Yang Yu has grasped it very deeply and applied it perfectly. It's not surprising that he can unleash such speed with the help of the Thunder Light Disc."

Thunder Robe King said with a smile, "This female deputy examiner is just a slightly stronger immortal, and she doesn't cultivate the Lightning Law, so naturally she can't see the deeper levels."

"So that's how it is," the beautiful female examiner murmured.
