"He has already passed the second level of the sixth Trial Tower!"

In the Virtual Universe, on the Kasolo Island, in Yinhu City, one of the four God Lords of Yinhu Island, God Lord Leiya, whose body was covered in scales, stared solemnly at the slightly glaring "No. 1 Jiang Yao (Xuanshang Universe Country), Points" on the screen.

The high-ranking realm lords below the stage remained silent, not daring to look at the expression on the face of the God Lord Jinlun sitting on the throne.

Everyone on Yinhu Island was naturally focused on the ultimate Peak Genius Tournament.

Even a stellar-level genius from Yinhu Island who had crossed the threshold of the Origin Law participated in the final battle. Although he had no hope of entering the Core Layer of the Virtual Universe Company, it was still the most outstanding result in the history of the Sacred Land Yinhu Island in the Peak Genius Tournament.

Without Jiang Yao, this could even be considered the most outstanding achievement in the history of the Lanhui Star Sector.

But at this moment, this stellar-level genius was unable to bring any joy to anyone on Yinhu Island.

"The third level consists of Metal Lifeform, the Tuoluo Race Warrior, who have no souls. Jiang Yao's Sui Divine Weapon's power has been halved. Relying solely on the Xing Divine Weapon, he may not be able to pass this level!" a realm lord said.

However, these words did not offer much comfort to the other high-ranking officials on Yinhu Island.

So what if I can't get past the third level? I'm still ranked number one in the Universal Final Trial Space!

He is the number one among the millions of stellar-level geniuses in the 1008 Universe Country!

This has even changed the already uncertain situation regarding the spots in the Primal Secret Realm. After seeing so many promotional videos of unparalleled geniuses, it's generally accepted that the winner of this year's Genius Tournament will be one of Sima Yan, Fito, and Jiang Yao.

If Jiang Yao were to enter the Primal Secret Realm, the status of the members of the Virtual Universe Company within the Primal Secret Region Member would be...

As if realizing something, God Lord Leiya looked at the true pillar of Yinhu Island, her teacher, God Lord Jinlun, with some alarm.

It seems they wanted to get comfort from the God Lord Jinlun that this worst-case scenario wouldn't happen.

Throughout the history of the Xuanshang Universe Country, many members of the Primal Secret Realm have emerged, and naturally, God Lord Leiya is aware of the status and power that Primal Secret Region Member would have if they were sent out.

The God Lord Jinlun, dressed in a golden robe, remained calm, seemingly unconcerned and unconcerned about the potential threat Jiang Yao might pose.

"Don't worry, with me here, the sky won't fall over Yinhu Island."

After speaking calmly, the God Lord Jinlun disappeared and logged off, leaving only the enormous throne in the center.

God Lord Leiya was taken aback, but felt a sense of relief, wondering if Zhenxuan King was willing to protect Yinhu Island?

As Immortal God, she naturally knew that the God Lord Jinlun had established a relationship with the Zhenxuan King by scheming to obtain the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal from the Jiuyuan, and had returned to the Talun Race.

Despite having already logged off from the Virtual Universe, the God Lord Jinlun remained remarkably composed in front of the high-ranking officials of Yinhu Island.

The usually dignified God Lord Jinlun stood before the Silver Lake, his eyes filled with regret.

If he had known this day would come, he would have risked conflict with Kasolo to kill Jiang Yao on Lingshen Planet.

But there's no going back in life.

The God Lord Jinlun looked down at the Silver Lake, which was as still as a giant silver mirror, reflecting the dazzling starry sky, and his eyes were filled with both fear and madness.

"There's no turning back now, which is good. I don't need to keep worrying about it anymore. If I can really get it, what is that Jiang Yao? I won't have to keep bowing and scraping before Zhenxuan King..."

The Kasolo Empire, Lanhui Planet.

A burst of laughter erupted inside the palace, a mixture of exhilaration and triumph.

The head guard glanced furtively into the palace, a smile playing on his lips. He knew perfectly well what His Majesty was so pleased about: His Majesty's only personal disciple had shone brightly in the final battle of the Peak Genius Tournament, surpassing even the already eliminated Fito to claim first place.

Not only His Majesty, but who in the Kasolo Empire, aside from those who besieged the Four Sacred Lands of the Lingtong Race, wouldn't be happy?

Kasolo's tail, covered in crimson scales, flicked gently, and even the murderous aura around him seemed to lessen considerably.

"Haha! This kid's treating the final battle like his own personal stage." Kasolo thought gleefully, "He probably still has some trump cards up his sleeve, heh, the Primal Secret Realm..."

Jiang Yao has inherited the <Zhenhuang>, and the effort he has put into cultivating the Origin Law of Space, as well as the achievements he has made, are definitely greater than those of the Law of Time.

"I never expected this kid to grow so fast. Perhaps that day will come sooner than I imagine. If the Primal Secret Region Member are released to the outside world..."

The young man, clad in purple armor, introspectively examined the Zhenhuang Seal within his divine body, which suppressed deadly poison in every cell. His gaze was fixed on the sky, as if he were looking through the atmosphere, across starry rivers and light-years, towards the direction of Yinhu Island.

"Silver... Lake..."

In the Central Plaza, although thousands of people were still fighting hard in the Trial Space, all the attention of the millions of eliminated participants and the 1,008 Immortal Expert was focused on Jiang Yao.

These participants who haven't been eliminated yet are just slow to kill; some have even turned the trial into a training exercise, insisting on staying for a full 10 days before moving on to a higher level.

There are no more people who truly have the potential to pass the fifth Trial Tower.

Therefore, whether Jiang Yao could pass the third level and which level of the sixth Trial Tower he could reach became the only question on everyone's mind before the end of the trial tower elimination round.

One of the four screens was specially set aside to track Jiang Yao's battle.

An Immortal God with two curved horns on his head sighed, "Jiang Yao may not be able to defeat Sima Yan in the arena battle and enter the Primal Secret Realm, but in terms of talent, he is definitely the most talented genius in this generation, no, in the last hundred generations, to comprehend the Origin Law."

With the Inheritance Token he possesses, he's certain to become a disciple of a powerful figure, and his future achievements will be limitless.

"Although the Sui Divine Weapon cannot unleash its full power against the Tuoluo Race Warrior, if the two Controller Divine Weapon work well together, it is not impossible to pass this level."

"Huh? Why did he put away the Xing Divine Weapon?"

"This is?"

The Central Plaza suddenly fell silent!

Inside the Trial Tower, Jiang Yao took a deep breath as he looked at the thousand Tuoluo Race Warrior, all of them black and almost blending into the cosmos.

Although the number of Tuoluo Race Warrior on the third level is ten times less than that of the Blood-Haired Mammoth on the first level, their overall strength is at least ten times greater.

After all, the Blood-Haired Mammoth is just a ferocious beast with low intelligence, relying mainly on its fighting instincts.

The Tuoluo Race Warrior, however, knew how to cooperate and could even use various secret techniques.

Perhaps with the combined power of the two Controller Divine Weapons, he could manage to get through this level, but he would inevitably face a fierce battle and may even get injured.

But he absolutely cannot get injured before entering the Seventh Trial Tower. The <Nine Styles of Bizhang> puts an extremely heavy burden on the body, and this body is not his original one.

With a thought, Jiang Yao suddenly unleashed 720 crystal blades as thin as cicada wings from the Sui Divine Weapon he carried on his back. A powerful wave of law descended, and the secret patterns wriggled and connected with each other.

With a loud bang!

A dazzling flame ignited, making the entire Trial Space bright and scorching hot.

"Lotus!"

The flames died down, revealing a crimson, translucent lotus flower, its petals composed of hundreds of jade discs.

Bathed in the radiant light of the lotus, Jiang Yao's body appeared almost divine.

Thin, seemingly illusory yet real, threads extend from the roots of the lotus, spreading in all directions and disappearing into the void.

This formed a spherical space, approximately a kilometer in diameter, centered on Jiang Yao, controlled and extended by silk threads.

The third form of the Sui Divine Weapon – Lotus Domain!

The lotus, seemingly composed of hundreds of crimson petals, trembled slightly, and one of its outer petals fell off, followed by another. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of petals had fallen.

The falling petals transformed into crimson blades in an instant, tracing mysterious paths and piercing through the Tuoluo Race Warrior had entered the spherical space at near-light speed, as if striking after them.

The crimson blade that pierced the Tuoluo Race Warrior did not fly out of the spherical space due to inertia, but instead, like a boomerang, traced a mysterious trajectory and returned to the lotus, transforming into petals.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, with petals falling and transforming into crimson blades that pierce through enemies, before returning to the lotus like swallows returning to their nests.

Because the crimson blade travels at near the speed of light, from an external perspective, the entire spherical space instantly becomes a forbidden zone filled with streaks of crimson light. Anyone who enters the space will be pierced and annihilated by a beam of crimson light in the next instant.

In just a few cycles, perhaps less than a second, a thousand Tuoluo Race Warrior had been wiped out.

The entire Central Plaza fell silent, then erupted into a clamor.

What is that?

"If I'm not mistaken... it should be the Lotus Domain!"

"The third form of the Sui Divine Weapon?!"

"Incredible! A stellar-level being can unleash the third level of the Sui Divine Weapon?"

Moyilin, his face covered in silver scales, shook his head weakly. Now, thinking back, he realized how ridiculous it was that he had always considered Jiang Yao his opponent and studied ways to defeat him before the final battle.

This kind of perversion had extinguished any desire in him to catch up or feel jealous.

As Sajin Fire Dragon hailed from the Yanpoluo Race, the origin of the Sui Divine Weapon, he naturally knew just how demanding the conditions were for unleashing the third form of the Sui Divine Weapon.

"The Origin Law of Space... His understanding of the Origin Law of Space has probably reached... the level of World Lord Level, incredible!"

The Immortal God sitting on the throne exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with astonishment and surprise.

"The third level... Jiang Yao's understanding of the Origin Law of Space has probably reached the level of World Lord Level, right?"

"Hey, the Law of Fire is one thing, Sima Yan's understanding of the Origin Law of Fire has reached a level that many realm lords can't match, but to achieve such a level of understanding of higher-level laws is truly extraordinary..."

"The sixth Trial Tower can't stop him anymore. When was the last time a genius passed the sixth Trial Tower?"

"It seems to be more than three hundred epochs ago, right? It's the King Heiyao, but I remember that when the King Heiyao cleared the sixth Trial Tower, he was nowhere near as strong or as easy as this Jiang Yao."

The Immortal Expert with two curved horns on his head said decisively, "The last genius Law Comprehension the level of Jiang Yao was back 1,400 epochs ago in the Genius Tournament held at the Giant Axe Coliseum!"

The immortals fell silent for a moment. Fourteen hundred epochs ago?

What does this mean?

Jiang Yao can now be considered the greatest genius of Cosmic Humans over the past tens of millions of years!

"A super genius that appears only once every ten million years... Perhaps... he can become Space Venerable in the future."

"Space Venerable? Hah, that's too exaggerated. Achieving the status of Space Venerable isn't so easy."

"Exactly, how long has it been since the Human Race produced a new Venerable?"

"Didn't that peerless genius from 1400 epochs ago perish halfway through his journey? He didn't even achieve immortality."

"Venerable!"

"Um?"

The group of Immortal Expert turned around in surprise and found that Venerable Tianhe, dressed in a dark battle robe, with skin covered in fiery red crystalline scales and three pairs of black and red wings on his back, had silently appeared behind them.

At this moment, he also looked on in astonishment at the screen as Jiang Yao used "Lotus Domain" to slaughter the Zerg army on the last floor of the sixth Trial Tower as if cutting melons and vegetables!
