First Round of Elimination

Just then, a colossal spaceship descended with a thunderous roar, its exterior majestic, lines rigid, and aura domineering. Two prominent Dongdi Clan characters were emblazoned on the hull—"Xuanling."

The hull was forged from an unknown metal, its surface carved with mysterious totems, as if inscribed with runes holding some power, shimmering with a faint glow.

Once the ship came to a halt, the outer hatch opened.

"Whoosh, whoosh"

In orderly fashion, teams of people flew out one after another, the ship continuously disgorging a full thousand Cosmic Level youths of the Dongdi Clan.

"Those are—people from Xuanling Academy."

"This bunch won't be easy to deal with."

Nearby, some Dongdi Clan geniuses who had already disembarked from other ships murmured with a hint of wariness.

"Xuanling Academy..."

Teacher Wala watched the scene, as if recalling something.

"Among the geniuses who pass the Eastern Domain Tournament each cycle, a considerable number come from this Xuanling Academy. The students who walk out from here to participate in the tournament are all not to be underestimated."

"Alright, no need to worry about them for now. We'll naturally meet them in the competition."

"For now, let's go register."

On the way to registration, Teacher Wala added a reminder.

"The first round of the Eastern Domain Tournament mainly weeds out those with insufficient law comprehension. It serves as a screening process, with no danger to life."

"But in the second round, it's real combat, and very perilous."

"Don't let your guard down."

At the tournament square, all eighteen million-plus Cosmic Level youths participating in the Eastern Domain Tournament had already arrived.

Teacher Wala had taken a seat in the spectator stands surrounding the square.

The lowest rank among those watching here was Marquis-level Immortals, along with many powerful King-level Immortal Gods.

Some formidable beings were engaged in conversation.

"I didn't expect Heavenly Dragon King's son, White Dragon, to also join the Eastern Domain Tournament."

"Indeed. Lord Heavenly Dragon King broke through directly to King-level Immortal upon his advancement, with combat power rivaling a Venerable. Even ordinary Venerables can't match his status in the clan. His only son should have the qualifications to directly enter the Dongdi Tower for inheritance."

"But since his son is here, it'll be tough for anyone else to vie for first place. I've heard he places great importance on his son, personally training and instructing him."

"That's not certain. We'll see how much of his father's valor he inherits."

Just then, a woman in a green robe suddenly appeared on the central throne of the spectator stands. Dressed in flowing green, she exuded elegance and nobility, her features seemingly hidden behind a veil of mist, hazy and indistinct.

Her entire figure was ethereal, as if existing in a different dimensional space.

The moment she appeared, the powerful beings who had been conversing immediately fell silent out of respect.

"The first round of the Eastern Domain Tournament is the Law Elimination Battle."

"You little ones of the Dongdi Clan, your consciousness will be projected into a wondrous secret treasure—the Law Tower."

A detached voice, accompanied by an oppressive aura, spread across the entire square.

"Once inside the Law Tower, you will all possess an identical Cosmic Level peak body, with exactly the same base power. What will be tested is your level of law comprehension."

"Each floor of the tower has nine levels, and each level has a guardian. Everyone starts from the first level of the first floor, defeating the guardian to advance to the next level."

"Roam freely within the Law Tower. Climb as many floors as you can, reach as many levels as you can."

"After everyone finishes their run in the Law Tower, rankings will be determined based on the floors and levels you have cleared."

"The top six hundred and forty thousand will advance to the next round of selection. The rest will be eliminated directly!"

"Try not to hide your strength. The top one thousand in the Law Tower will receive special protection—they will not encounter each other in the brutal second round of combat, avoiding premature defeat against overly powerful opponents."

"Prepare yourselves. The first round of elimination begins now."

With an invisible ripple sweeping across the square, the consciousness of all eighteen million-plus Cosmic Level youths participating in the Eastern Domain Tournament entered the Law Tower.

Before the first level of the first floor of the Law Tower.

Feng Hui suddenly appeared here, his footsteps echoing dully against the solid floor.

Before him stretched a vast space. The first floor of the tower was very tall, its lofty dome inlaid with gems that sparkled like stars, casting a soft glow that illuminated the entire hall.

His gaze traced the intricately carved stone pillars within the tower, their surfaces etched with ancient and mysterious symbols, as if telling tales of an unknown history.

"Beep"

Feng Hui looked down at his wrist, where a screen displayed some information.

"Contestant: Feng Hui (Jia 312 Academy)

Floors cleared, levels cleared: Floor Zero, Level Zero

Ranking: None"

Law Tower Space: Number 0647 9583

Note: Once dead, an individual's Law Tower challenge ends.

Each floor has nine levels, each with a guardian. Defeat the guardian to enter the next level. Defeat all nine guardians to advance to the next floor.

When all participants are dead, the first round of the Eastern Domain Tournament ends, and the final rankings are determined.

Below is the ranking list.

"Participant Feng Hui, please select your desired weapon."

A vast, indifferent voice echoed within the tower.

Feng Hui casually chose a black longblade that felt right in his hands. Here, all weapons were of the same tier—after all, the purpose was to test one's comprehension of the Laws, so weapon differences could not be allowed to interfere.

"Whoosh"

He transformed into a streak of light and flew straight to the first level.

"Huff" At the level, a golden figure materialized out of thin air, also wielding a longblade—this was the guardian of the first level.

Feng Hui slashed down with his blade, and before the guardian could make a move, it was defeated.

Second level, third level, fourth level... ninth level.

The difficulty of the Law Tower's first floor was not high, and Feng Hui quickly cleared all nine levels to reach the second floor.

"This Law Tower is quite similar to the Heavenly Bridge on the human side. The difficulty of the first floor matches the first floor of the Heavenly Bridge, but it's subdivided into nine levels, with difficulty increasing step by step."

"From this perspective, the Law Tower reflects a challenger's Law comprehension more precisely than the Heavenly Bridge."

For example, two people might both clear the first floor of the Heavenly Bridge, but their actual skill levels could differ. On the Heavenly Bridge, such differences in skill are somewhat vague.

But the Law Tower uses nine levels to pinpoint exactly where one's skill stands on that floor.

This makes it easier to gauge one's progress, which is greatly beneficial for cultivation.

No wonder this was a sacred universe that had existed for eons—the Law Tower alone showed how advanced its cultivation civilization was, with far more complete facilities.

Feng Hui's human body had only cleared the fourth floor of the Heavenly Bridge, but that was a long time ago.

After fully comprehending the first nine profound mysteries of the essence of the Time Law and the Law of Space, his strength had soared.

He simply hadn't lacked Chaos Tablet comprehension opportunities, nor did he urgently need points, so he had been busy cultivating and comprehending in Chaos City without bothering to challenge the fifth floor.

Since the Dongdi Clan clone had entered this Law Tower...

Then let him test his current Law comprehension level here in the Law Tower.
