"First Aspect of Annihilation · Bloodkill!"

"Second Aspect of Annihilation · Army Breaker!"

"Third Aspect of Annihilation · Piercing Heart!"

"…."

"Tenth Aspect of Annihilation · Boundless!"

One after another, blood-colored saber auras, each a kilometer wide and stretching across the heavens and earth, crashed down madly. The ocean was cleaved into chaos, throwing up colossal waves ten thousand meters high…

The sea was split in two by a single slash, revealing the ocean floor beneath—jagged rocks jutted out like dried picks. The entire world now resembled an apocalyptic scene.

This—was the power of a Second-tier Martial King!

At the Martial King level, one already stood above the Martial Gods, having reached a realm incomprehensible to ordinary humans on Earth… If such power were to appear on Earth, the clash between two Martial Kings would be enough to shatter the planet!

And if one went even higher…

Just imagining it was enough to instill a bone-deep fear!

"Exhilarating! Exhilarating! Hahahahaha…"

Su Xiaobai unleashed over a thousand slashes in an instant.

Each blade contained immense blood energy. Combined with the explosive boosts from various techniques, any single strike was enough to slay a Second-tier Martial King!

As he attacked, he laughed maniacally, seemingly unhinged.

Under the surge of blood qi, Su Xiaobai appeared as a battle-mad lunatic, utterly forgetting about passing the trial—his heart held only one thing: slaughter!

The combination of [Scroll of Eternal Vitality] and [True Art of Burning Blood Fury] was truly invincible!

The life-attribute Martial King-level technique granted horrifying regeneration…

Even though the Bloodburn technique had reached its peak—offering a tenfold boost—it still couldn't keep up with the recovery speed of the Scroll of Eternal Vitality. If blood consumption speed was rated at 10, then the recovery rate was a staggering 1000!

Before blood was even consumed, it had already fully regenerated—imagine the result!

…

Billowing black smoke and darkness were swept apart along with sea and sky.

The man used incomprehensible speed to blink and leap… Though he was peerless in agility among Second-tier Martial Kings, he couldn't even get close to Su Xiaobai once throughout the entire battle!

All he could do was dodge, evade, and search for openings.

But no matter how fast he moved, no matter how flawlessly he concealed his presence, he could not escape Su Xiaobai's spatial perception empowered by the burst of blood qi!

Before he even approached, Su Xiaobai had already locked onto his position.

Worse still—Su Xiaobai's own movement techniques were just as agile!

And so, one minute later…

The once-joined ocean was split in two again—along with the man and the crescent-ring weapon in his hand!

"Floor 103, cleared!"

"You've been awarded 130,000 cultivation points!"

"You may select one bonus Transcendent-level technique!"

Came the voice from the Virtual Network.

"Skip. Next floor!"

Su Xiaobai's blood-red pupils flashed with an unending will to fight!

"Floor 104, begin!"

Just as the voice finished, Su Xiaobai's blood qi erupted again!

…

"Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon cleared Floor 103!!!!"

"1 minute and 32 seconds—again, he's first!!"

"Hiss~~~ You have to reach the Second-tier Martial King level just to even clear Floor 103, and he still crushed it!"

"Did he receive the Martial Immortal's legacy?!"

"Wouldn't be surprising if it were the Martial Emperor's inheritance!"

"Terrifying… clearing every floor in a single go—is there even any justice left?!"

"Will he keep going for Floor 104?"

"Until now, only 1,048 people in the entire Vast Domain have ever reached Floor 104… Could he be the 1,049th?"

"If he ranks first, then he's not the 1,049th—he'll be the one who surpasses all 1,048 before him!"

"Where is Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon's limit?!"

"…."

The clearing of Floor 103 once again stirred up a frenzy of astonished cries.

Actually, each floor had countless challengers… but the Virtual Network ranked them based on challenge attempts, clear time, personal strength, and more to determine the top 100.

After Floor 101, the number of contenders dropped off a cliff.

If Floor 100 still had tens of millions—maybe over a billion—reaching it,

Then Floor 101 had fewer than 100,000.

Floor 102, under 10,000.

Floor 103—just a bit over 1,000.

Floor 104—so few that even the top 100 leaderboard had empty slots.

Floor 105—only six people.

And this number was the total accumulated over countless years since the Virtual Network's inception.

Now Su Xiaobai had cleared Floor 103, entering the top 1,000 of all time among Transcendents.

If he cleared Floor 104, he'd be in the top 100!

Those in the top 100—what kind of beings were they?

The hidden boss of the Virtual Network Army—one of the six who cleared Floor 105.

The boss behind Cloudsky Palace had cleared Floor 104.

The boss behind the Blood Slayer Alliance was also once among the top 100.

The boss of Pavilion of the Tower hadn't even cleared Floor 103.

As for the boss of the Dark Banquet, their identity remains unknown…

But one thing was clear—anyone who reached the top 100, as long as they didn't fall along the way, inevitably became an earth-shaking, sky-piercing legend!

Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon was brimming with limitless potential!

"Sister Yan, he's incredible!"

Nangong Yixin's eyes were full of awe.

"If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes, I'd never believe someone at that level could be human!"

Zhuo Bingyan exclaimed.

Since entering the Virtual Network and witnessing the Vast Domain—this grand, boundless world—and the countless monstrous geniuses within, Zhuo Bingyan deeply felt the gap between humans and other races.

Compared to those born with innate advantages, even being born at the Martial Commander level, humans seemed far too weak…

But to her surprise—

Today, she saw with her own eyes that someone who had climbed to Floor 103 of the Illusory Tower had emerged from the human ranks, rising step by step before her.

In Zhuo Bingyan's heart, Su Xiaobai's figure was gradually replacing that of the legendary human savior… Because before her stood a living legend!

At that moment, the Floor 104 leaderboard updated.

A cry of shock burst through the heavens. Zhuo Bingyan's pupils dilated—she felt a chill crawl up her spine, raising goosebumps across her body!

"Sister Yan, first place!! He's first on Floor 104!!!"

Nangong Yixin jumped up in excitement, pointing at the new leaderboard.

Sure enough, the name 'Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon' was right at the top!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the next moment, everyone in the Newborn City felt their breath catch.

They all instinctively looked skyward, where shadowy figures, cloaked in light and impossible to make out clearly, were tearing through space!

Everyone in the city trembled inwardly.

In their eyes gleamed awe and fear—

That was… Martial Emperor level!
