Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance

The sixth level held ten Starry Sky Behemoths called Cang.

The moment Jiang Luo entered the space, he was locked in a fierce struggle. The opponents on the sixth level were considerably stronger than those on the fifth.

The ten Cang were equivalent to ten weakened Golden Horned Beasts without wings. They worked together seamlessly, leaving him no chance to pick them off one by one.

Of course, given enough time, he could still kill them all through constant maneuvering.

But the King Kai Fist put a heavy strain on his body. He couldn't keep it up for long.

"Tenfold King Kai Fist!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Luo immediately raised the King Kai Fist to tenfold.

His already lightning-fast speed surged even higher.

In an instant, he found an opening. Gentle yet terrifying threads of rain pierced through one of the Cang.

With one Cang down, the remaining nine could no longer maintain their seamless coordination against Jiang Luo.

He cut them down one by one.

"Faster!"

Jiang Luo shot like lightning toward the entrance to the seventh level.

He could feel some of the cells in his body nearing collapse.

In an endless desert, a pitted sphere over a hundred meters tall stood in the only oasis.

Insect Race Warriors with triangular heads slick with mucus poured out of the Brood Nest.

In an instant, more than a thousand Zerg had emerged.

"I have to finish this one quickly!"

At the King Kai Fist's maximum tenfold speed, Jiang Luo darted between the charging Insect Race Warriors. Following gaps in their ranks, he raced toward the Brood Nest, refusing to engage them.

At the same time, an invisible wave shot from the Brood Nest and rushed into his sea of consciousness.

Jiang Luo wasn't afraid in the slightest. The Nuwa Map he visualized in his sea of consciousness blazed with light.

The Insect Queen's Soul Attack crashed against it like waves against a reef, unable to shake it in the slightest.

Even without the Nuwa Map, his soul had been strengthened by more than five thousand years of worship and offerings from the Luo Planet People. His state of mind had long since reached the pinnacle of unity between heaven and humanity.

It had even begun to surpass that state.

His will was naturally powerful beyond measure.

"Now!"

He had closed the distance to the Brood Nest enough.

Jiang Luo pressed his right index finger against his thumb, formed the Moon Heaven Seal, and pointed toward the Brood Nest in the distant oasis.

"Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance!"

Inside the Brood Nest, the Mother Emperor—with beautiful, transparent wings like a butterfly's and skin as crystalline and pale as if she were carved from crystal—was about to launch another Soul Attack.

A special domain descended without warning.

"What is this...?" The Mother Emperor was stunned.

It was as though she had been pulled into another plane of existence.

"An illusion!"

The Mother Emperor was about to use a spiritual secret technique to break through the illusion when she discovered that everything before her had gone dark.

It was as if deathly silence had enveloped her.

All five senses were gone.

In the end, even her consciousness could no longer reach beyond her body.

She seemed to have fallen into a state beyond awareness, life, or death.

As Jiang Luo's Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance—the signature move of the Virgo Saint Shaka—briefly deprived the Insect Queen of her six senses, thousands of Insect Race Warriors also lost the ability to move.

Jiang Luo didn't dare waste a moment.

After all, his opponent was an Insect Queen, the being most adept at Spiritual Force.

The Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance couldn't hold her for long.

The only reason she'd fallen for it so easily was that she hadn't been prepared for his methods.

He had only one chance!

"Twentyfold King Kai Fist!"

Jiang Luo felt as though nuclear fusion were taking place inside his body. As explosive power surged through him, countless cells began to collapse.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Countless threads of rain gathered at Jiang Luo's sword tip, forming a single crystalline raindrop.

Then his sword tip struck the Brood Nest.

In an instant, the droplet pierced through the Brood Nest and the beautiful Mother Emperor, who had just broken free of the Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance.

Right after, Jiang Luo's body collapsed completely and turned to ash.

Inside a manor near Ancient Wheel Hall on Sacred Island in the Virtual Universe.

Jiang Luo, who had died inside the Trial Tower, suddenly appeared in the hall, giving Wu He a fright.

Wu He looked at him as if he were a monster. "7,770,000 points... You cleared the third Trial Tower?"

Jiang Luo was still savoring the afterglow of that final, all-out strike. He replied casually, "I got lucky and killed the Mother Emperor."

That final strike at twentyfold King Kai Fist had given him a new understanding of the Great Way of Dripping Water.

He had finally taken his first real steps along that path.

Of course, the Great Way of Dripping Water described in the Rainwater Sutra was only one part of the Water Origin Law.

Compared with the complete Origin Law, what he had comprehended so far was a tiny fraction of the Law of Water.

Wu He murmured, "You've risen to 126th place. Of the 622 Star Level disciples in Ancient Wheel Hall, only a little over a hundred have cleared the third Trial Tower.

"And most of those hundred-plus geniuses are stuck on the first level of the fourth Trial Tower."

This guy had only crossed the threshold of the Origin Law five years ago.

Now he had surpassed most of the Star Level geniuses, going from the very bottom of the rankings to near the top.

"Master... perhaps one day you really will have a chance to take revenge..." For some reason, Wu He felt a powerful surge of confidence.

Jiang Luo was excited too, but not because of his dramatic rise in the rankings.

He was excited about the points he'd earned.

Clearing the third Trial Tower had brought his total to 7,770,000 points.

After subtracting the 3,160,000 he had nearly spent before, he had gained another 4.61 million points.

That was equivalent to 46 Hunyuan Units in Universe Coins.

It was enough to further cultivate the Ten Thousand Feather Tree, spread his faith, and buy the special materials needed to practice the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body.

Once he truly mastered the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body, he would have a decent chance of making it through the Flint Star World.

Gulun Secret Realm.

Inside a spaceship, Ji Chen stared at the glaring number 7,770,000 on his wrist screen and took a deep breath. "This guy... He's a monster!"

The other Star Level geniuses fell silent too.

His rate of progress was terrifyingly fast.

In just five years, a newcomer had left most of them behind.

"Could he have touched upon the Law of Space?"

"Impossible! If he had comprehended the Law of Space, then with both the Law of Water and the Law of Space, he couldn't have stopped at the third Trial Tower."

"Maybe he's gained some insight into the Law of Fire? Doesn't he have dual domains of water and fire?"

"Comprehending another law isn't that easy. Among the Star Level disciples in our Ancient Wheel Hall, those who've mastered two laws are exceedingly rare. I think Jiang Luo must have a strong affinity for the Law of Water, which is why his Law Comprehension has improved so quickly at the early stages..."

"Alas, I have a feeling that in a hundred years, the Giant Axe Arena's selection of Star Level Core Members will have another formidable rival."

Deep in Gulun Continent, inside a palace in the Virtual Universe.

"Marquis Mo Yan, Ancient Wheel Hall has sent a new email," the intelligent life reminded him.

"Oh?"

A man over ten meters tall, with iron-colored skin and cold eyes, shifted his gaze. "A Star Level disciple cleared the third Trial Tower? And he's a newcomer?

"That rate of improvement is astonishing. Could I have misjudged him before?"

He immediately opened the Trial Tower recording.

After watching for a while, Marquis Mo Yan shook his head in disappointment. "He didn't rely on the Origin Law... Why can't these youngsters understand that, at their stage, Law Comprehension is the foundation of everything?

"If they have the time and energy to practice these life-risking secret techniques, they'd be better off spending it comprehending the laws.

"Jiang Luo's talent rating remains unchanged. He is still at the third tier."
