That message, after hundreds of thousands of transmissions, finally reached a white Heavenly Wolf in the Demon race, outside the Human Territory.
This white Heavenly Wolf was a powerful Immortal, with a Divine Body over ten kilometers long. After receiving the message from the Human Race's intelligence network, he quickly glanced at it and immediately rushed to a palace in the endless starfield.
The palace floated, surrounded by flames of various colors—black, white, purple, red, green, blue… Each flame was as large as a Stellar Rank, swirling around the palace.
If one were farther away, it would be impossible to see any of this.
Clearly, the space-time around the palace was distorted, forming its own separate space-time.
After the white Heavenly Wolf Race Immortal arrived at the palace, he respectfully prostrated himself on the square in front of the palace and said, "Leader! There is intelligence from the Human Race's territory, concerning the Pinnacle Genius Battle."
In that solidified flame palace, the eye-like carvings suddenly blinked, and the entire palace rumbled, "The Human Race's Pinnacle Genius Battle, has some Genius been born again?"
"Yes," the white Heavenly Wolf Race Immortal respectfully replied, "A Genius named Kedi has been born. While only at the Stellar Rank, he has a profound comprehension of the two supreme Laws: 'Space Law' and 'Time Law', and he simultaneously manifested Time Clone and Space Afterimage."
"Simultaneously… Space Law and Time Law mixed…" The rumbling voice murmured, then loudly declared, "Give the order! Place Human Race's Kedi on the must-kill list, NO.1!"
The white Heavenly Wolf Immortal respectfully replied, "Yes! Leader."
At the same time, the Zerg and Mechanical Race, also among the six Pinnacle Races, received similar news.
...
Trial Tower space.
Ender, who was injured and had bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, looked at the points on his wrist screen and thought, "Kedi has been eliminated. From the points, he should have passed the second level of the seventh Trial Tower."
At this time, the ranking on the points list was:
NO.1 Kedi (Li Yu Universe Country), Points: 30,237,770,000
NO.2 Ender (Ganwu Universe Country), Points: 4,697,770,000
...
After checking his points, Ender thought, "It was already difficult for me to pass the fourth level of the sixth Trial Tower. It will probably be very hard to pass the fifth level."
After the arduous battle on the fifth level, he knew that with his current movement technique level, it would be very difficult to pass the fifth level, which allowed for long-range attacks.
"Even if I can't pass, I'll see how many Mechanical Puppets I can kill."
Thinking this, Ender's mind stirred, and the Endless Vine extended towards the last winged, furry, three-eyed lion-like monster—the Ferocious beast "Flying Hou."
...
Central Square.
"Ender has entered the fifth level."
"Amazing! Besides Kedi, he's the strongest."
The eliminated million Geniuses discussed endlessly, and Kedi, who had just been eliminated, was also watching the light screen.
"That young fellow from Ganwu Universe Country has entered the fifth level of the sixth Trial Tower."
"It's already very good if he can pass the fifth level, after all, his movement technique is a weakness."
"Indeed, his movement technique is a bit weak, but it's still very good that he made it to the fifth level, stronger than many previous Genius Battles."
"Indeed, the level of this Pinnacle Genius Battle is quite good. In previous Genius Battles of average level, a Genius who reached the first level of the sixth Trial Tower would definitely have won first place."
The Immortal Team Leaders watched the light screen and discussed.
...
In the light screen.
Ender entered the fifth level of the sixth Trial Tower.
It was a large Mechanical experimental base, with the ground completely paved with alloy. On this alloy ground stood 100 silver humanoid Mechanical Puppets, each eight meters tall. Mechanical Puppets are a type of combat weapon built by the Mechanical Race.
Every member of the Mechanical Race is an intelligent life form; each of them can be considered a control terminal, and each can form a Mechanical Kingdom! And "Mechanical Puppet" is one of the combat units within this Mechanical Kingdom.
"Buzz!"
Four tall Mechanical Puppets activated their energy, their eyes emitting red light, instantly locking onto the Human Race here—Ender.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The Mechanical Puppets instantly ran like lightning, some even running directly into the air, all rapidly pouncing on Ender.
"Go!"
Stepping on his fourth-tier Spirit Weapon, Ender flew directly into the distance without a word, avoiding the charging Mechanical Race Puppets.
With his movement technique level, the best way to defeat the Mechanical Race Puppets was not to engage in direct combat, but to use guerrilla tactics and defeat them one by one.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Invisible railguns fired from the Mechanical Puppets' arm launchers.
Railguns come in many specifications; the highest speed a railgun can reach is light speed, but such railguns are very expensive. Even the Mechanical Race's Mechanical Kingdom only equips its most important units with light-speed long-range weapons.
And the long-range attacks fired by these Mechanical Puppets were far from light speed.
But even though they didn't reach light speed, these long-range attacks were extremely troublesome, forcing Ender to evade the railgun attacks, which slowed down his flight speed.
Boom!
A pursuing Mechanical Puppet's iron fist smashed down. Ender narrowly dodged it, causing the iron fist to strike the ground, creating a large, deep crater in the alloy ground.
Iron fist! Leg blade! Railgun! Flames! Body ram!
These massive Mechanical lumps were immune to any Spiritual Power attacks; to destroy them, one could only use material attacks to forcibly break them!
As time passed, the battle became increasingly fierce. Ender was injured, and the Mechanical Puppets were also destroyed one by one, their control chips shattered by blows to their chests.
Boom!
Injured, Ender failed to dodge and was swept by an iron fist. Before he could adjust his posture, he was hit by an invisible railgun, directly suffering a severe blow.
Thud!
A Mechanical Puppet charged forward and used its metal body to kill the severely injured Ender.
At this point, in the fifth level of the sixth Trial Tower, after killing 42 Mechanical Race Puppets, Ender was eliminated.
...
Whoosh!
Returning to the Central Square as a white light, Ender shook his head helplessly, "My movement technique is too weak. Facing powerful opponents with many attack methods and a considerable number, defeat was inevitable."
Although he was eliminated on the fifth level due to his weak movement technique, he did not regret his decision to specialize in the Wood Origin Law. Compared to the astonishing talent of the Wood Law, his talent in Space Law was much weaker. If he was willing to spend dozens or hundreds of years cultivating, with the assistance of secret techniques, he could also comprehend Space Law.
But time did not allow him to spend dozens or hundreds of years, or rather, he was unwilling to Cultivate for another five thousand years and participate in the next Pinnacle Genius Battle.
At the same time, watching Ender being eliminated, the Immortal Spiritual Gods leading the teams in the Central Square discussed, "That young fellow has been eliminated."
"Given his age of less than a hundred, it's very good that he made it to the fifth level of the sixth Trial Tower before being eliminated."
"Right! Very good. Among the top 100 Geniuses in the points ranking, besides him, the youngest one has also Cultivated for over eight hundred years."
"To Cultivate for several times, or even dozens of times, less time than others and still reach this level of Law comprehension is already excellent."
"Indeed, Kedi also Cultivated for over three thousand years."
The Immortals discussed, waiting for the last few dawdling Geniuses to finish the Trial Tower pre-selection...
