Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 126

Lu Yunhe suddenly thought of this, then cut off the thought. He was too weak now, and thinking about these things was pointless and would only cause him trouble.

"Someone?"

Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's voice, the minotaur instantly opened his eyes, got up from the ground, and asked in surprise, "You've come to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain?"

“That’s right!” Lu Yunhe nodded.

"Haha, finally someone's here again!" The minotaur laughed heartily. Clearly, those of them who had been staying here for so long rarely encountered anyone they could communicate with.

"You two, hurry up and come down to greet the customer!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!

As a loud voice rang out, two figures flew in from the other two directions of the original Tongtian Mountain triangle.

A lean ape-man wearing silver-white armor, wielding a black bamboo pole, and covered in golden fur.

The other was a strange woman with a snake tail, wrapped in a semi-transparent gauze dress.

Of these three, the minotaur is a warrior, the ape-man is a psychic, and the snake-man is an illusionist—these are the three main professions of the primordial universe.

Chapter 194 One against three

"Hehe, finally someone has come to challenge the Primordial Tongtian Mountain. Before, everyone who came tried to challenge the Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Tongtian Mountains," the lean ape-man laughed.

"Let me see who he is!"

The snake-woman gave Lu Yunhe a seductive look, then stared blankly at the information provided by the virtual universe network.

"So it's His Highness Lu Yunhe from the Primal Secret Realm... Your Highness..."

As she continued, the snake woman's voice suddenly faltered, leaving the minotaur and ape-man on the other side puzzled.

"It seems Your Highness has an extraordinary background. With our limited authority, we can only see your identity and name."

The snake woman, who was originally alluring and seductive, suddenly became much more serious. However, this behavior gave people a feeling of being both innocent and lustful.

"I see!"

The minotaur glanced at the virtual panel and shouted, "Your Highness may be of extraordinary status, but we all act according to the programs set up by the virtual universe. We can't go easy on Your Highness."

"Cheating is unnecessary!"

Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly. He had already cheated enough; there was no need to cheat again in the virtual world.

The rules for conquering the Tianshan Mountains are simple: kill all the guards at the foot, the middle, and the summit.

As a genius and a strong individual, one cannot have any weaknesses. Therefore, one must fight against three opponents, facing the siege of three mainstream professions, and win the battle by killing all three to clear the level.

The difficulty of the challenge is very high. Each of the three professions—Martial Artist, Spiritualist, and Illusionist—has its own characteristics. When the three cooperate and complement each other, the difficulty becomes even greater.

If the Bridge to Heaven primarily tests one's level of understanding of the laws, then the Mountain to Heaven tests one's true combat skills, including combat experience, amplification techniques, and willpower...

"In that case, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The minotaur roared excitedly, grabbed the giant axe beside him, and charged towards Lu Yunhe like a heavily armored tank.

At the same time, the terrifying giant axe was already raised high. Wherever the axe blade, enveloped in yellow energy, slashed, the space itself rippled, demonstrating the immense power it possessed.

"Primordial Style!"

With a flick of his hand, Lu Yunhe unleashed the primordial divine weapon, instantly linking the powers of the ten fundamental laws together to form a near-perfect projection world.

The projected world created in the blink of an eye directly enveloped the minotaur and the other two.

"What an amazing self-contained world, it's practically the same as a projection of a world lord."

The lean ape-man was astonished and hid far behind the minotaur. At the same time, the black bamboo pole behind him flew out and suddenly lengthened.

The entire bamboo pole has nine sections, each of which detaches instantly but is then connected by an almost invisible thread.

The nine-section whip, like a venomous snake, struck first, reaching Lu Yunhe before the minotaur and launching a fatal attack.

"Your Highness, don't forget me!"

The snake woman hiding at the back seemed to offer a kind suggestion, but a flash of purple light appeared in her eyes, and she instantly launched an invisible illusion attack.

In an instant, the minotaur, the ape-man, and the snake woman launched their attack simultaneously, their coordination seamless.

Feeling the illusion cast by the snake woman, Lu Yunhe smiled inwardly. "You dare to show off your petty skills before an expert?"

"Taiyin Soul Stealing!"

Lu Yunhe activated the "Taiyin" secret technique passed down to him by the King of Xiyue, directly devouring the illusion released by the snake woman and then returning it back to her in double measure.

"not good!"

Sensing the invisible mental force attacking her, the snake woman was terrified. However, the invisible illusions offered no escape, and she could only rely on her soul and mind to withstand them.

The snake woman was immediately immersed in her own illusionary world.

"Snake girl!"

The ape-man, who was manipulating the nine-section whip on the rock, sensed something was wrong and quickly sent a telepathic message to the snake woman, trying to wake her up.

"You should worry about yourself!"

Lu Yunhe twirled the primordial divine weapon in his hand, and instantly the nine-section sword-shaped fragments fell off. Then, under the control of the primal force of the universe, they hit the ape-man's nine-section whip from nine different angles.

clap clap clap...

The nine-section whip, as sharp as a venomous snake, was pinned to the dark earth by nine small swords.

"My weapon!"

The lean ape-man let out a strange cry. It was hard to imagine that the other party was clearly just a martial artist, but how could he seem to have more agile control over weapons than he, a mentalist?

"There's one last one!"

A stream of earthy yellow energy swirled around the primitive divine weapon in Lu Yunhe's hand.

Then, moving from bottom to top, he caught the minotaur's heavy slash in an almost effortless manner.

"How can this power be stronger than mine?"

The minotaur held a giant axe with both hands, but he couldn't subdue Lu Yunhe, who was holding a sword with one hand.

"Good cooperation!"

Lu Yunhe exclaimed in admiration, and then the primitive divine weapon in his hand suddenly disappeared. Three sword lights flashed, and a thorn appeared between the eyebrows of the minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman. They immediately lost their life force.

Divine Weapon Seventh Level - Void Style!

Although the minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman were quite strong, they were probably only at the level of the seventh or eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

"Psychic body!"

Looking at the three corpses lying on the ground, Lu Yunhe realized that if professional factors were taken into account, the combined test of the three of them was almost a test of the challengers' mental and physical abilities.

As for the so-called "gods," in the context of Swallowing the Stars, they should correspond to the realm of laws.

As Lu Yunhe pondered, he flew towards the mountainside of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain.

The three guardians of Tongtian Mountain are all minotaurs, apes, and snake women, but their strengths are vastly different.

The guardians at the foot of the mountain may only have the Law level of the seventh or eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge. By the time they reached the middle of the mountain, the Law level of the three of them had reached the limit of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, which is equivalent to the limit of the Law level of the Realm Lord.

The difficulty on the mountainside is indeed much higher, after all, none of the members in the entire universe-level primordial secret realm have reached the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven in terms of law level.

Unfortunately, it was Lu Yunhe who was trying to break through the barrier. Even with the three of them working together, they still couldn't withstand a single move, just like the three people at the foot of the mountain.

Upon reaching the summit, the three guardians experienced a qualitative leap in their law level, reaching the immortal level.

Even someone with the level of the laws of the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge could be killed by the three of them if they had poor combat awareness or obvious weaknesses.

"The vastness of the universe!"

The eighth level of the Primal Divine Weapon—Cosmic Style—combined with its self-contained world, made it seem as if the entire world was under Lu Yunhe's control, completely preventing the three gatekeepers from leveraging any cooperative advantages.

"cut!"

Lu Yunhe slashed down with his sword, and countless sword energies filled the entire world. Then, like a surging tsunami, they directly engulfed the minotaur, ape-man, and snake-man.

Chapter 195 A Brand New Exchange

"Breaked through!"

Standing atop the primeval Tongtian Mountain, shrouded in mist, Lu Yunhe looked at the two shorter peaks in the distance and the three almost unrecognizable corpses, and felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Although he had long since reached a state of indifference to worldly gains, Lu Yunhe was still willing to put in some effort to achieve honors that were within his grasp.

He has already cleared the Cosmic-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain, one of the three benchmarks of human geniuses. Next up are the Domain Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain and the World Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain.

"However, with my current understanding of the laws, I should only be able to reach around the fourteenth floor without using the amplification technique."

Lu Yunhe estimated in his mind that the original Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level should have a law level of at least the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he was still a step behind.

"It would be about right to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City for a few decades."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, "Since I'm already here, it doesn't matter if it takes me decades to conquer the Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level."

call……

Just as Lu Yunhe was pondering, the three corpses on the ground suddenly returned to normal, and then the minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman all stood up.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on conquering the Primal Tongtian Mountain! Your genius will be known throughout the entire universe!" the three minotaurs congratulated.

"Just a genius!" Lu Yunhe shook his head slightly. More than a genius, he wanted his reputation as a powerful figure to resound throughout the universe.

After saying that, Lu Yunhe's consciousness left the Tongtian Mountain plane.

……

After Lu Yunhe passed through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, the management of Virtual Universe Company was the first to learn of this information.

After all, the human race is one of the six most powerful races in the universe. The secrecy surrounding these geniuses is mainly reflected in their whereabouts or identities, not in their achievements.

On the contrary, the human race will actively publicize the achievements of geniuses, which helps to enhance the overall sense of honor of the human race and showcase the human race's talent pool to other races, etc.

"After so long, our human race has finally produced another descendant who can conquer the Primal Tongtian Mountain, and it is even a 'cosmic-level' Primal Tongtian Mountain."
