The sixth level contained ten Starry Sky Giant Beasts known as Cang.

As soon as Jiang Luo entered the space, he was plunged into a bitter struggle; after all, the opponents on the sixth level were significantly stronger than those on the fifth.

The ten Cang were equivalent to ten weakened, wingless Golden Horned Beasts, and their tacit coordination made it difficult for him to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Of course, given enough time to maneuver, he could still slay them individually.

However, the King Kai Fist placed a heavy burden on his body, and he could not hold out for long.

"Tenfold King Kai Fist!"

Jiang Luo did not hesitate, immediately pushing the King Kai Fist to ten times its power.

His speed, already fast as lightning, was enhanced once more.

In an instant, he found a flaw, and a gentle yet terrifying drizzle of sword light pierced through the body of one Cang.

With one Cang eliminated, the remaining nine could no longer maintain their previous tacit coordination against Jiang Luo.

They were slaughtered by him one by one.

"Faster!"

Jiang Luo darted into the entrance of the seventh level like a bolt of lightning.

He could feel that a portion of the cells within his body were on the verge of collapse.

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

Triangular-headed Zerg warriors, covered in slime, surged out from the Hive.

In an instant, more than 1,000 Zerg poured out.

"This level must be finished quickly!"

Moving at the limit of his Tenfold King Kai Fist, Jiang Luo dodged and weaved through the pouncing Zerg warriors, racing toward the Hive through the gaps without engaging the warriors at all.

At the same time, an invisible ripple shot out from the Hive, instantly crashing into his sea of consciousness.

Jiang Luo was completely unfazed; the Nuwa Map visualized within his sea of consciousness shone with brilliant light.

The Zerg Matriarch's soul attack was like waves crashing against a reef, unable to shake him in the slightest.

Even without the Nuwa Map, having been worshipped and sacrificed to by the people of Luo Planet for over five thousand years, his soul had long reached the Great Perfection of the state of unity between heaven and man.

It had even faintly surpassed that level.

His willpower was naturally incomparably strong.

"Now!"

He had closed the distance to the Hive to a sufficient degree.

Jiang Luo pressed his right index finger and thumb together, forming the Moon Heaven Seal, and pointed it toward the Hive in the distant oasis.

"Treasured--Wheel--of--Heaven--Dance!"

Inside the Hive, the Matriarch—possessing beautiful, transparent butterfly wings and a fair, crystalline body that looked as if it were cast from crystal—was just about to launch another soul attack.

A special domain suddenly descended.

"This is..." The Matriarch was shocked.

She felt as if she had been pulled into another plane of space-time.

"An illusion!"

Just as the Matriarch was about to unleash a mental technique to break the illusion, she found her vision plunged into darkness.

It was as if she were wrapped in deathly silence.

All five senses were lost.

In the end, she could not even project her consciousness.

It was as if she had fallen into a state of ignorance, neither living nor dead.

As the Zerg Matriarch's six senses were briefly stripped away by the ultimate move of the Virgo Saint Shaka, which Jiang Luo had unleashed, the thousands of Zerg warriors also instantly lost the ability to act.

Jiang Luo dared not delay for even a second.

After all, the opponent was a Zerg Matriarch who excelled in spiritual telekinesis.

The Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance could not trap her for long.

It was only because the Zerg Matriarch was unprepared for his methods that she had fallen into the trap so smoothly.

He only had this one chance!

"Twentyfold King Kai Fist!"

Jiang Luo felt as if a nuclear fusion were occurring within his body; accompanied by an explosive surge of power, a massive number of cells began to collapse.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Countless threads of rain instantly condensed at the tip of Jiang Luo's sword into a single crystalline droplet.

The next moment, the tip of his sword pierced the Hive.

The water droplet pierced through the brood mother in an instant, piercing through the beautiful empress who had just broken free from the Treasured Wheel of Heaven Dance.

Immediately after, Jiang Luo's body completely collapsed, turning into fly ash.

Within a villa in a manor near the Ancient Wheel Hall on the Sacred Island of the Virtual Universe.

Jiang Luo, having died in the Trial Tower, suddenly appeared in the main hall, giving Wu He a start.

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

Still immersed in the lingering sensation of that ultimate burst from before, Jiang Luo replied casually, "I was lucky enough to kill the brood mother."

That final strike under the 20x King Kai Fist had given him a new understanding of the Droplet Great Dao.

He could finally say he had truly stepped into the threshold of the Droplet Great Dao.

Of course, the so-called Droplet Great Dao in the Rainwater Sutra was merely a fraction of the Origin Law of Water.

Compared to the complete Origin Law, what he had grasped now was but an insignificant speck of the Law of Water.

Wu He muttered, "Your ranking has risen to 126th place. Among the 622 Star-level disciples of the Ancient Wheel Hall, only a hundred or so have managed to clear the third Trial Tower."

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

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

Now, he had actually surpassed the majority of Star-level geniuses, leaping from the bottom of the pack to the top tier.

"Master... perhaps there really will be a day of vengeance in the future..." For some reason, a surge of intense confidence welled up in Wu He's heart.

Jiang Luo was also excited, though his excitement was not due to the massive jump in his ranking.

It was for the points he had obtained.

Clearing the third Trial Tower had earned him a total of 7,770,000 points.

Subtracting the 3,160,000 he had nearly exhausted previously, it meant he had a fresh influx of 4.61 million points.

That was equivalent to 46 Hunyuan units of cosmic currency.

It was enough to support him in further cultivating the Ten Thousand Feather Tree, spreading his faith, and purchasing the special materials needed to practice the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body.

Once the Thirteen Sword Fiend Body was truly mastered, he would have a decent chance of success when he went to the Flint Star World.

Gulun Secret Realm.

Inside a mechanical spaceship, Ji Chen stared at the glaring 7,770,000 figure on his wrist screen and took a deep breath: "This guy... he's a freak!"

The other Star-level geniuses also fell into silence.

This speed of improvement was terrifyingly fast.

A newcomer had left most of them in the dust in just five years.

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

"Impossible! If it were the Law of Space, combined with the Law of Water, he wouldn't have stopped at the third Trial Tower."

"Could it be that he has gained some insight into the Law of Fire? Doesn't he have a dual domain of water and fire?"

"Grasping another law isn't that simple. Among our Star-level disciples in the Ancient Wheel Hall, those who master two laws are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. I think this Jiang Luo just has a high affinity for the Law of Water, which is why his initial progress in law comprehension is so fast..."

"Sigh, I have a premonition that in a hundred years, there will be one more formidable rival for the Giant Axe Arena's selection of Star-level core members."

Virtual Universe, inside a palace deep within the Gulun Continent.

"Lord Mo Yan, the Ancient Wheel Hall has sent a new email," the intelligent lifeform reminded.

"Oh?"

A man over ten meters tall with skin the color of steel and cold, hollow eyes shifted his gaze: "A Star-level disciple cleared the third Trial Tower? And a newcomer at that?"

"This improvement speed shows remarkable talent. Could I have misjudged him before?"

He immediately pulled up the video replay of the Trial Tower.

After watching for only a moment, Marquis Mo Yan shook his head in disappointment: "It wasn't through the Origin Law... Why can't these little ones understand that at their stage, law comprehension is the foundation of everything."

"Instead of spending energy and time practicing these desperate secret techniques and ultimate moves, they should be focusing more on comprehending the laws."

"Jiang Luo's talent rating remains unchanged; it is still the third grade."
