Chapter 72 Overpowering Berlan (Please Subscribe)

"This aura... it's not even at the ninth level of the Constant Star realm. No wonder everyone was able to clear the first trial tower!"

Generally speaking, a powerhouse at the ninth level of the realm can win when facing an attack from tens of thousands of ordinary people of the same realm, but if they are careless, they may also suffer an unexpected defeat.

However, according to the information Shen Mu obtained, no one has ever failed to pass the first trial tower in the Genius Battle Trial Space.

Looking at them now, the aura of these blood-haired mammoths is only around the fifth or sixth level of the Hengxing stage, no wonder no one has crashed.

"I have no interest in wasting my time."

The trial space ends at an unpredictable time; it depends on when the last participant finishes their trial.

Therefore, Shen Mu wouldn't be foolish enough to drag out the game for 10 days before clearing it. He would rather just push through it directly and then slowly study the laws and secret techniques on his own.

hum!

An invisible, illusory mental force surged from Shen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness and then condensed into longswords invisible to the naked eye.

In an instant, countless ethereal mental attacks erupted.

This is the simplest of the "Soul Imprint" secret techniques created by Master Hu Yanbo. It is a mental attack type secret technique, mainly used for easily defeating weaker opponents.

Boom!

The blood-haired mammoths closest to Shen Mu fell down without warning, their massive bodies propelled far across the ground by inertia.

Shen Mu strolled leisurely towards the herd of blood-haired mammoths.

As Shen Mu approached, countless crimson beasts fell one after another.

Moments later, countless blood-haired mammoth carcasses lay silently scattered across the vast grassland.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure disappeared from the spot and entered the second floor.

At the same time, the content on the screen on Shen Mu's right wrist also changed.

"First level, second floor: 1 monstrous beasts, the 'Nine-Headed Python'."

"Killing one beast earns one point; killing them all earns ten thousand points and allows you to enter the third level."

"Survive for ten more days, then you'll be teleported directly to the third level."

……

In the virtual universe, 1008 immortal beings sat casually in the central square.

The elimination process in the Trial Space is not broadcast publicly throughout the universe; only the changes in the rankings are made public.

The final arena battle will be broadcast live! However... the immortal beings of the various cosmic nations have the authority to watch the trials of each participant.

Someone jokingly said to General Thirteen, "Thirteen, your Prince Shen Mu's points are ahead of Bo Lan's, and he has always maintained first place."

"However, Berlan's points are also increasing rapidly. After all, mentalists still have too much of an advantage when it comes to slaughtering the weak."

"Shen Mu's mental attack methods are also very strong, perhaps no weaker than that little guy named Galesi."

Thirteen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, besides His Highness Shen Mu, our Qianwu Universe Kingdom also has Luo Feng and Rong Jun."

On the live stream screen, Shen Mu and Bo Lan were both rampaging through the levels, clearing the first trial tower in a very short time.

After observing Shen Mu for a while, Thirteen turned his attention to Luo Feng and Rong Jun.

With the information shared by Shen Mu, Luo Feng understood the mechanism of the Trial Tower and did not deliberately suppress himself, thus wasting time.

His killing speed was second only to Shen Mu and Bo Lan, leaving everyone else in a league of its own and ranking third.

"Luo Feng is also extremely strong, at the second level of the Divine Weapon, he has a very good chance of taking third place overall!"

As for Rong Jun, he also has the potential to break into the top ten in the entire universe. This time, their Qianwu Universe Kingdom might just occupy three of the top ten spots!

……

The fourth building, on its seventh floor, is located in an endless desert, where a sphere with a diameter of 100 meters floats in mid-air.

A thick layer of green venom and toxins swept out, corroding everything around it.

As Shen Mu entered the seventh level, from the numerous pitted holes on the surface of the giant mother nest, one after another, triangular-headed Zerg warriors with blue carapaces quickly crawled out!

They have two antennae, a muscular body, two hind limbs supporting their bodies, four forelimbs that resemble battle swords, and two translucent wings on their backs.

"Buzz!"

"Beer!"

A series of chilling, hoarse hissing sounds emanated, sending shivers down one's spine.

As Shen Mu's figure flashed and he rushed towards the Zerg mother nest, he was also pondering something.

Is the Zerg hive's soul talent a result of its innate arcane abilities?

If so, Shen Mu would be interested in replicating it, since his Azure Dragon clone could break through to the Domain Lord level in less than two years.

For a being with such a powerful soul, even creating an avatar wouldn't be very effective. Because no matter what kind of life form is created as an avatar, the soul is still the human soul.

The creation of a Zerg Queen clone might grant a significant boost to psychic abilities, but the soul would remain unaffected, undergoing a qualitative transformation and becoming like the Zerg Queen, possessing ten thousand primordial soul essences.

"We might be able to study this later. There happens to be a dormant World Lord-level Queen on Earth right now. It shouldn't be a problem to get some biological materials from her with Teacher Hantian's help."

A moment later, a cold, icy spike traced an incredibly precise arc through the air, easily piercing the frail figure of the Zerg Queen.

Having successfully passed the test, Shen Mu was teleported to the first floor of the fifth trial tower.

……

As time passed day by day, and as many geniuses entered the third trial tower, some began to be eliminated.

Then, in a very short period of time, the number of people eliminated became increasingly outrageous, reaching a peak of dozens or even hundreds of people being eliminated every second.

In just two or three days, a total of eight or nine hundred thousand geniuses were eliminated by the third trial tower.

brush!brush!brush!

In just a few seconds, dozens of figures were teleported out. They were all law geniuses with similar strength and similar speed in clearing the levels. They all failed on the seventh floor of the third tower.

The difficulty of the third defensive tower increased dramatically, making it difficult even for geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws to pass.

Hong's figure was prominently displayed among them.

"Hong, over here!"

Not far away, Feng Lun and the others waved and shouted to Hong; that was the area of ​​geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Seeing this, Hong immediately went over as well.

"Hong, which floor did you reach?" Feng Lun asked curiously.

Hong calmly replied, "The third one, the seventh floor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Lun and the others also showed expressions of certainty: "Me too, that Zerg Queen is producing Zerg warriors too fast, there's no way we can kill them all."

With his transparent hair, Paltrow said helplessly, "In our universe, besides Shen Mu, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun, there are very few who can pass the third trial tower."

In the central square, a thousand screens appeared, displaying live streams of the top one thousand geniuses ranked in the trial space.

The screens are arranged in order; the first screen shows Shen Mu's image, and the second screen shows Bo Lan's image.

Hundreds of thousands of eliminated participants are gazing at the distant screen, discussing the events in their own groups.

"These two are incredible! They're a whole level ahead of everyone else, and they've both made it to the seventh floor of the fifth trial tower!"

"And Luo Feng, he also made it into the fifth trial tower. He's capable of using the second level of the Divine Weapon Technique; he's a monster too!"

Countless geniuses debated the matter, with the vast majority believing that Berlan was stronger.

Although Shen Mu's killing speed was slightly faster than Bo Lan's, it wasn't much faster; he was only benefiting from the inherent advantages of being a mentalist.

As the tower's levels increased and the difficulty rose, Bolan had almost caught up with Shen Mu.

As time passed, more and more people were eliminated, and fewer and fewer strong individuals remained in the trials.

In the final stage, only five live broadcast screens remained on the central square.

Because at this time, only 5 people were still undergoing the trial, while the other many talented participants had all died and been kicked out of the trial space.

Among these five screens, three geniuses are still in the fifth trial tower, including Luo Feng.

Meanwhile, the figures on the other two screens had already reached the seventh floor of the sixth trial tower, leading Luo Feng, who was in third place, by an entire trial tower.

It's important to know that the differences between each trial tower become increasingly significant as you progress.

For example, the first level of the sixth trial tower requires 10 times the points of the seventh level of the fifth trial tower, and the difficulty of passing the level has also increased by more than 10 times.

On the screen, a blood-red afterimage swept past the fragile body of the Zerg Queen, and the white-clad Bolan successfully cleared the level!

Almost simultaneously, on another screen, the nine Frozen Sky Cones merged into one, seemingly piercing through space and ending the life of the Zerg Queen.

Shen Mu successfully passed the test!

At that moment, all the geniuses watching the battle were in an uproar.

"Bolan, Shenmu!"

"Those two actually cleared the sixth Trial Tower!"

"This is insane! The last time someone cleared the sixth Trial Tower was before the Genius Battle tens of thousands of times ago!"

"I'm not surprised that Berlan was able to clear the level; he's always been capable of it!"

"What surprised me the most was Shen Mu. In just five years, he actually mastered the third level of the Frost Divine Weapon to perfection!"

"I wonder if those two can clear the first level of the seventh trial tower!"

Countless people are watching, including the 1008 immortal beings.

To be able to break into the seventh trial tower is something that no one has been able to do for tens of thousands of epochs.

This time, two geniuses appeared at once in the genius battle!

On the screen, Shen Mu and Bo Lan appeared on the first floor of the seventh trial tower.

"Oh My God!"

"The attack from the Blood-Haired Mammoth in the Seventh Trial Tower actually contained the power of primordial laws!"

"Could anyone really break through the encirclement of ten thousand masters of the fundamental laws?"

Within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, countless geniuses were utterly shocked.

Because they discovered that the attacks of these blood-haired mammoths not only contained the power of primordial laws, but were also far stronger than their own. They were roughly comparable to the top 100 super geniuses in the entire universe.

Being besieged by ten thousand geniuses, each ranked 100th before the battle, the thought of a blood-haired mammoth is enough to send chills down your spine!

"He's injured! He's injured! Berlan's injured!"

"Shen Mu's movements are incredibly agile. He's managed to avoid injury despite using ranged attacks. Could he be surpassing Bolan in skill?"

At this moment, Berlan, who had easily passed through the first six trial towers, was the first to unleash his full power.

In an instant, countless figures of white-robed youths appeared in the space, and thousands of white-robed youths flickered within the endless azure air currents.

Whoosh! Clang!

Thousands of dazzling sword lights bloomed, turning this grassland into a sword domain!

As time passed, one mammoth after another fell, and Bolan, due to excessive exertion, gradually weakened, and his illusory forms began to disappear.

Moments later, Berlan succumbed to exhaustion and died in the siege of the Blood-haired Mammoths, exiting the trial space.

10000 Blood Mammoths, 6012 killed!

The leaderboard changed immediately.

"NO.1 Bolan (Noah's Universe Kingdom), Points: 13789770000"

"NO.2 Shen Mu (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 10853770000"

Bolan's score has been completely fixed, while Shen Mu's score is still slowly increasing.

……

Inside the Trial Tower, Shen Mu's figure was like a phantom, and the arc of his movements was exceptionally crisp and precise.

Even Shen Mu's movement technique gave people the illusion that he wasn't moving along the spatial fluctuations at all, but rather that the spatial fluctuations were actively conforming to Shen Mu's figure.

This is an incredibly exquisite secret technique that can only be performed after one has grasped the fundamental mysteries of the primordial laws of the universe.

"Berlan's points have been finalized; it seems he's been eliminated."

There are now four people remaining in the trial space: Bloodblade Candita, Life Sword Yifeng, Madman Luo Feng, and Shen Mu, who has made the most progress.

"Now, it's my turn to perform!"

In the next instant, Shen Mu drew a series of exquisite arcs in space, and more than three hundred spatial illusions condensed.

Although the number of illusions is much less than that of Berlan, the efficiency and extent of their dodging techniques far surpass that of Berlan.

It should be noted that in the original work, even Bolan, who was at the level of the Myriad Illusions Realm, was not as efficient at dodging as Luo Feng, who had 100 illusions, because he had not grasped the essence of space.

His exquisite movement and the highly efficient Frost God Weapon Level 3, while not as powerful as Bolan's final burst, made him far superior at crushing weaker opponents.

As time went by, although Shen Mu's movement techniques were exceptionally exquisite, his energy expenditure also increased.

However, the number of blood-haired mammoths that died was even greater, and even as Shen Mu's illusory bodies decreased, the pressure was also getting less and less.

Before long, the entire wild grassland was transformed into a pure white ice field, with the corpses of tens of thousands of mammoths lying everywhere, turning into huge ice sculptures.

Above countless ice sculptures, Shen Mu's figure, dressed in white, floated in mid-air.

A sliver of light shone through the dark, gloomy clouds, enveloping Shen Mu's figure.

His white-clad figure, bathed in soft golden light, was surprisingly dazzling, like a young deity!

……

The points leaderboard has changed again.

NO.1 Shen Mu (Qianwu Universe Kingdom), Points: 17777770000

NO.2 Bolan (Noah's Universe), Points: 13789770000

Bolan, who had just surpassed Shen Mu in points, has once again fallen behind Shen Mu.

At this moment, the once bustling central square fell silent once more, with millions of people remaining completely still.

I didn't have any drafts saved up, so I wrote 7,000 words. I'll write another 7,000 words tomorrow during the day and give you all a total of 14,000 words.
