Showing His Edge in the Law Tower

A figure charged wildly through the Law Tower, like a god of slaughter.

With Feng Hui's strength—he had long since cleared the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Bridge—the first few layers of the Law Tower, whose difficulty was comparable to the Heavenly Bridge, were incredibly easy for him.

Second Layer... He cleared all nine stages with ease.

Third Layer... He cleared all nine stages.

The Eighth Stage of the Fourth Layer of the Law Tower.

"I'm starting to feel a little pressure."

After defeating the guardian of this stage with a slash, Feng Hui thought to himself.

He lowered his head and looked at the information on the screen.

Participant: Feng Hui (Jia 312 Academy)

Layers and stages cleared: Fourth Layer, Eighth Stage

Rank: 8

Seeing his rank, Feng Hui's pupils contracted and his gaze sharpened.

The Eighth Stage of the Fourth Layer of the Law Tower translated to a level that had cleared the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Bridge and was approaching the Fifth Layer among the Human Race in the Original Universe.

Yet in the Eastern Domain Tournament, he could only rank eighth.

It was true that many of the geniuses participating in the Eastern Domain Tournament had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, and some for more than ten thousand.

But they were still Cosmic Level geniuses who had yet to enter Dongdi Tower for an inheritance and had not yet received genuine cultivation.

As expected of a Holy Land Universe with such deep foundations. He had Peak Marquis Teacher Wala to instruct him, and Teacher Wala had given him the first volume of the Cosmic Scripture. The other geniuses must have had their own opportunities and fortunes, too.

Even Teacher Wala had obtained the incredible introductory cultivation method of the Cosmic Scripture. The geniuses from those truly great planes certainly wouldn't lack guidance from cultivation methods.

But his human body had already entered Chaos City, the Human Race's holy land for cultivation, to receive training. Although Chaos City's cultivation should be less comprehensive and efficient than the Holy Land Universe's training of its geniuses, it was still like having completed a year of middle school before running off to take an elementary school exam somewhere else.

Even if that "middle school" was a poor little school in the middle of nowhere, it would be disgraceful if he couldn't do well on an elementary school exam.

Feng Hui's gaze was resolute as he continued toward the Ninth Stage of the Fourth Layer.

After clearing the Ninth Stage of the Fourth Layer, he reached the First Stage of the Fifth Layer.

As soon as he entered the Fifth Layer, the difficulty soared.

Feng Hui was locked in a hard-fought battle with the Golden Guardian of this stage.

After a long while, he finally defeated his opponent and entered the Second Stage.

By then, Feng Hui had risen to third place.

"Oh?" Many Immortal Gods on the Observation Stand were watching the projected scenes of the Law Tower trials above the plaza. They looked surprised.

By now, most people had finished their Law Tower trials.

Only three people, including Feng Hui, had cleared the First Stage of the Fifth Layer.

There was nothing particularly remarkable about clearing the First Stage of the Fifth Layer. Many geniuses in the Eastern Domain Great World could do it.

But Cosmic Level geniuses who reached the Fifth Layer of the Law Tower before entering the Eastern Domain Great World for training or receiving an inheritance in Dongdi Tower were extremely rare across the entire Eastern Domain.

The first was White Dragon, the son of the Heavenly Dragon King. The Immortals weren't very surprised that he had reached this level; after all, like father, like son.

Compared to his father, the Heavenly Dragon King, White Dragon's performance was still far from stunning.

The second was a young man from the Thunderclap Plane who wielded a Thunder Great Axe.

The Thunderclap Plane was a renowned holy land for cultivating the Lightning Law and the Time Law throughout the Eastern Domain. It was home to countless experts and enjoyed a formidable reputation.

What was more, the old man who taught the young man was a powerful King-level Immortal with considerable renown in the Eastern Domain. Many of the experts present knew his teacher.

It was only natural for a genius like that to appear.

But Feng Hui... He came from Jia 312 Academy...

What was Jia 312 Academy?

Many Immortals had never even heard of it.

After all, it didn't even have a proper name—just a number. There were countless insignificant little academies like it in the Eastern Domain.

Even the well-known Xuanling Academy in the Eastern Domain had no students who could clear the Fifth Layer.

And yet a wild genius like this had emerged from such an obscure little academy. How could the Immortals not be astonished?

At that moment, Feng Hui faced a true test in the Second Stage of the Fifth Layer.

The Golden Figure before him wielded a long saber and drove Feng Hui into a desperate retreat, leaving him in a sorry state.

The guardian of this Second Stage was even stronger than the one in the First Stage.

Feng Hui had only cleared the First Stage after a long, hard fight. It was no surprise that he was now at a disadvantage.

"He's about to lose," an Immortal Expert on the Observation Stand concluded.

"Indeed. He's reached his limit."

The powerful Immortal Gods had keen eyes, and their judgment was accurate.

"He's already done very well. It's not easy to come this far from a small place."

Just as Feng Hui's battle grew perilous, an image flashed through his mind, which had sunk into a hazy state: the first image on the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

In theory, Feng Hui had long since fully comprehended the nine mysteries of the essence of the Time Law and the Law of Space contained in that first image.

There should have been no secrets left in it for him.

But now...

"So that's it. So that's how it is." Feng Hui's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Yes, he had previously comprehended the nine mysteries of the essence of the Time Law and the Law of Space contained in the first image of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, but... he hadn't comprehended the image as a whole.

No wonder he had always felt that the first image looked so perfect whenever he studied the Cosmic Chaos Stele. He hadn't realized what it meant back then... Only now did he understand.

How could the first image of the Cosmic Chaos Stele be so simple?

The nine mysteries of the essence of the Time Law and the Law of Space contained in that image intertwined and connected with one another, forming a perfect whole.

Before, Feng Hui had only comprehended the first nine mysteries of the essence of the two higher laws in isolation. Now, with the nine mysteries of each law's essence combined, everything was different.

The introductory volume of the Cosmic Scripture also described this and contained a corresponding secret technique. Feng Hui simply hadn't been able to see it before because his level of understanding was insufficient.

"Time-Space Kill!"

Feng Hui's aura soared as he unleashed the corresponding secret technique from the introductory volume of the Cosmic Scripture. Countless streaks of saber light converged and crashed down, making even space and time seem to tremble before their radiance.

"Pfft!"

The attack swept past the Golden Figure before him.

The Second Stage of the Fifth Layer of the Law Tower... Cleared!

"This is... the Cosmic Scripture? He can actually use 'Time-Space Kill,' the secret technique from its introductory volume."

The Elegant Noble Blue-Robed Woman, seated on the throne at the very center of the Observation Stand, had been watching with casual interest. But at this sight, she immediately perked up.

He cultivated the Cosmic Scripture, trained in both space and time, and followed the path of analyzing the essence of laws. He had even made considerable progress.

This little fellow was indeed quite interesting.

After another breakthrough, Feng Hui's strength surged once again.

He quickly cleared the next several stages.

Of course, he was still far from reaching the Sixth Layer of the Law Tower. In the end, he stopped at the Ninth Stage of the Fifth Layer.

By then, everyone had finished the Law Tower trials, and the first round of eliminations in the Eastern Domain Tournament was complete.

Feng Hui's overall rank in the Law Tower was—first place!
