The Primal Heavenly Mountain

The Virtual Universe is a specially created dimensional space.

This is a vast and desolate land, upon which stand three majestic mountains. On the slopes of these three majestic mountains, two characters gleam with golden light.

Tiandi and earth, the Taichu, the origin!

The mountain peak in the center, inscribed with the word 'primitive', is the most majestic and towering!

Whoosh!

Having just crossed the Heavenly Bridge, Yang Wu's consciousness returned to reality, and he immediately reappeared in the Heavenly Mountain Plane. He then transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and flew straight towards the Primal Heavenly Mountain.

Yang Wu landed at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the towering, Primal Heavenly Mountain that seemed to reach into the clouds. Not far from him, a tall, bull -Minotaur with horns was fast asleep on a boulder, his snores like thunder.

Beside the Minotaur lay a Giant Axe, dark purple axe, which looked as if it were formed from countless congealed drops of blood, sending chills down one's spine.

"Minotaur, wake up! I'm going to conquer the Primal Heavenly Mountain!" Yang Wu shouted calmly.

Upon hearing Yang Wu's voice, the tall, sleeping Minotaur immediately sprang to his feet, blinked instinctively, and looked at Yang Wu in surprise, exclaiming, "You... you want to challenge the Primal Heavenly Mountain?"

"Hmm." Yang Wu nodded gently.

"Haha, finally someone's come to challenge the Primal Heavenly Mountain!" the Minotaur laughed heartily, then roared, "Someone's trying to break into the mountain, aren't you two coming over here?"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, two streams of Flowing Light flew in from other directions at the foot of the Primal Heavenly Mountain, eventually transforming into two human figures.

On the left is a Lean Ape-man wearing silver-white armor and covered in golden fur, with a black bamboo pole strapped to his back.

On the right is a bewitching woman wrapped in a semi-transparent veil and with a snake's tail.

Of the three, the Minotaur is a martial artist, the Lean Ape-man is Spiritual Master, and the Snake Woman is Illusionist.

To pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, one must simultaneously face the combined attacks of these three Gatekeeper.

Even if each of them is slightly weaker than the challengers, the three of them working together and complementing each other make them much stronger.

Those who attempt to pass through the mountain must fight their way from the foot of the mountain to the summit, killing all the Gatekeeper, in order to successfully pass through Heavenly Mountain.

The Gatekeeper at the mountainside are ten times stronger than Gatekeeper at the foot of the mountain, and the Gatekeeper at the summit are also ten times stronger than Gatekeeper at the mountainside.

Even the checkpoints at the foot of the mountain are only accessible to a very small number of people!

"Heh heh, finally someone's come to challenge the Primal Heavenly Mountain!" The Lean Ape-man leaned forward slightly and said with a strange laugh.

Heavenly Mountain is an insurmountable benchmark, and most geniuses enter higher-level secret realms through Qualification Battle. Therefore, the entire Heavenly Mountain Plane is rarely visited by people.

Of course, there are also occasional exceptional geniuses who have just been recruited by the Virtual Universe Company. After joining the Endless Secret Realm, they can't wait for the Qualification Battle to begin and come to challenge the Heavenly Mountain.

Perhaps some people can conquer the Tiandi and Earth and the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, but the Primal Heavenly Mountain is many times more difficult, so very few people come to the Primal Heavenly Mountain to try their luck.

"Let me see what his background is?" The alluring Snake Woman- woman glanced at Yang Wu with tender affection, and then a phantom screen appeared before her eyes.

These three Gatekeeper were created by the Virtual Universe Company and can never betray us, so they have extremely high authority within the Virtual Universe.

Looking at the information on the screen, the Snake Woman- woman's eyes were filled with surprise. She then smiled at Yang Wu and said, "So it's Prince Yang Wu from the Primal Secret Region! When you left Chaos City, you had already passed the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge. And just now, you even passed the Twelfth level!"

"Your Highness Yang Wu, you are quite impressive. However, if you want to conquer the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain challenge, having only the Law Comprehension of the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge might not be enough!" the Snake Woman reminded her with a smile.

The Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge is merely one condition for passing through the 'Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain'; passing through the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge does not guarantee that one can pass through the Universe Level Heavenly Mountain.

Because there are three Gatekeeper of Heavenly Mountain, many factors must be considered during the battle, such as Combat Secret Technique, Amplitude Secret Technique, and willpower.

If the Heavenly Bridge primarily tests one's Law Comprehension, then the Heavenly Mountain tests all aspects of one's abilities; to successfully cross it, one needs to have no obvious weaknesses.

Throughout human history, there have been a few geniuses who crossed their respective Heavenly Bridge but were unable to cross the Heavenly Mountain.

"Really? I'd like to give it a try!" Yang Wu said with a soft laugh.

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, countless crimson threads burst forth from the Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand, drawing upon the two Origin Law fire and space.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen such a formidable opponent, let's make our move!"

The Minotaur roared excitedly, then grabbed his terrifying Giant Axe and rushed in front of Yang Wu in an instant. At the same time, the terrifying Giant Axe was already raised high, leaving only the afterimage of the axe blade in mid-air.

Sizzle...

Where the axe blade passed, cracks appeared even in outer space.

"The eighth level of the Overlord Spear? Interesting!" The Lean Ape-man chuckled, and the black bamboo pole behind him flew out instantly, transforming into a long whip with nine sections in mid-air. Countless silk threads were connected between each section of bamboo.

Call out!

The long, whip-like Telepathic Weapon shot out instantly, as fast as lightning, like a venomous snake, towards Yang Wu.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, look here." The Snake Woman's charming voice was captivating, and a flash of purple light appeared in her watery eyes. An invisible mental attack immediately enveloped Yang Wu's Sea of Consciousness.

Faced with the three's all-out attack, Yang Wu merely smiled slightly, without making any attempt to dodge.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a light flick of his Overlord Spear, Yang Wu unleashed three beams of spear light, each aimed directly at one of the three men.

The eighth level of the Overlord Spear, 'Shattering the Void', allows for both close-quarters combat and ranged attacks.

In an instant, the two Origin Law fire and space were cleverly combined through the Overlord Spear, subtly drawing upon the power of Tiandi. Under Yang Wu's control, the three spear beams flickered erratically, their speed astonishing, distorting the space they guarded, as if they were about to devour everything.

Three streaks of spear light instantly traversed several kilometers, suddenly piercing towards the path that the three Gatekeeper were sure to take.

The tall Minotaur's expression was extremely solemn as he slashed directly at a crimson spear beam with his axe blade.

Boom!

It was like two giant planets colliding!

The Crimson Spear Light slammed into the earthen-yellow axe blade, and the powerful impact was transmitted through the Giant Axe, sending the tall Minotaur flying backward.

As the Minotaur was sent flying backward, its body was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the powerful impact.

"Not good!" The Lean Ape-man and the Snake Woman's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

The Minotaur had the strongest defense among them, yet it was killed instantly.

Wow!

At the same time, two more crimson rays arrived in front of the two men and immediately pierced through their foreheads.

The battle ended instantly; the three Gatekeeper at the foot of the mountain were utterly powerless to resist.

"This level at the foot of the mountain is too easy. Even if the three of us work together, we're probably only at the level of the ninth level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

As Yang Wu pondered this, he flew upwards.

The checkpoint at the foot of the mountain posed no threat to him whatsoever, and even the Gatekeeper at the mountainside were easily defeated by Yang Wu.

Call!

Yang Wu flew upwards along the towering, Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, and after a short while, he finally arrived at the summit.

Clouds and mist swirled around the mountaintop. Minotaur lay on a boulder, snoring loudly, while Lean Ape-man drank heartily from a large barrel of fine wine. In the distance, a Snake Woman was playing in a pool of water.

When Yang Wu landed on the mountaintop, the three Gatekeeper turned around at the same time and looked at Yang Wu.

The summit is the last and most difficult pass in the Primal Heavenly Mountain.

"How many years has it been?" The Snake Woman in the pool sighed softly, slowly emerging from the water, her body draped only in a thin veil.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, it's a pleasure to see you." The Snake Woman's voice was soft and gentle, soothing to the ear.

"Yes, it has been far too long since we've seen any challengers." A deep voice came from the Minotaur's mouth.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, after millions of eons, you are the first challenger we have ever seen." The Lean Ape-man also put down his wine barrel and stood up.

Although you don't need the enlightenment from the Twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge to pass this level, you only need to defeat the Gatekeeper at the mountainside.

But the Primal Heavenly Mountain is truly too difficult. Generally speaking, even the number one person in the Universe Level from each era's Primal Secret Region would find it extremely difficult to pass the foot of the mountain, let alone the mountainside, which is more than ten times more difficult.

As for the mountaintop, that's truly just a legend!

The Snake Woman- woman, with eyes as clear as water, smiled and said, "Your Highness Yang Wu, your talent is truly astonishing, but getting past us will be very difficult!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Yang Wu said with a slight smile.

"I will certainly grant Your Highness's wish!" the Snake Woman- woman said softly with a smile.

With that smile, the Snake Woman unleashed Soul Attack, her invisible and intangible Spiritual Force directly penetrating Yang Wu's Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, the Lean Ape-man and the tall Minotaur also began their attacks, with an arc of Flowing Light and a terrifying axe blade slashing towards Yang Wu simultaneously.

Within Yang Wu's Sea of Consciousness.

A majestic Void Tower sits at the center, exquisitely crafted with a five-story structure.

It's incredible that Yang Wu could condense a five-layered Void Tower with his Universe Level Spiritual Force, but his Law Comprehension was even more heaven-defying. He also had the added benefit of ten thousand years of experience in the Simulator, and in the end, he still managed to condense it with great difficulty.

"Boom!"

The Snake Woman unleashed an invisible psychic attack on the Void Tower, but the entire Void Tower remained completely unmoved.

"Too weak!"

Yang Wu was completely unaffected by the Snake Woman's illusionary attacks.

Of the three Gatekeeper, the one who poses the least threat to Yang Wu is the Illusionist Snake Woman.

The fifth Pagoda Realm Void Tower is a level that even the vast majority of Peak World Lord cannot reach. Even Hu Yanbo, who created the enslavement secret technique Soul Seal, only managed to cultivate to the Six-Layer Pagoda Realm before his death.

In addition to Yang Wu's state of mind of Unity of Heaven and Man, and his will comparable to the Peak World Lord, to shake Yang Wu's soul, at least King Level Immortal would have to take action!

"Kill!" Yang Wu's eyes flashed like lightning as he shouted.

Boom!

The Overlord Spear in Yang Wu's hand reached its maximum speed in an instant, colliding fiercely with the Blood-colored Great Axe in the Minotaur's hand.

Their attacks collided violently, and they were both sent flying backward.

"What? I used all my strength to unleash the eighth level of the Overlord Spear technique, and I'm only evenly matched with this Minotaur?" Yang Wu's expression changed slightly.

This one Minotaur alone is already as strong as the Gatekeeper of the Twelfth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge.

He could easily defeat them one by one, but facing three at once was quite a challenge.

"Kill the Spiritual Master first!"

Yang Wu's heart stirred, and he immediately used the <Nine Steps of Sky-Stepping>, rushing towards the Lean Ape-man like lightning.

Of the three Gatekeeper, the Illusionist Snake Woman poses the least threat to Yang Wu. Even if she uses her Telepathic Weapon, she cannot harm Yang Wu in the slightest.

The greatest threat to Yang Wu was undoubtedly the Ape-man Race's Spiritual Master. His attacks were comparable to those of the Minotaur, but the speed of his Telepathic Weapon was much faster and more unpredictable.

"Minotaur, hold them off for me!"

Seeing Yang Wu unleash astonishing speed, the Lean Ape-man immediately hid behind the Minotaur. As Spiritual Master, he naturally couldn't let Yang Wu get close.

"No problem, watch me! Haha..." The Minotaur laughed loudly and charged straight at Yang Wu.

He raised the blood-red Giant Axe in his hand high, causing the space to tremble. The Giant Axe swept through the spatial rift and cleaved directly towards Yang Wu's head.

At the same time, the Lean Ape-man also controlled Telepathic Weapon to attack Yang Wu from behind.

"Nine Steps of Sky-Stepping!"

Yang Wu, Sky-Stepping Boots, dodged at an incredible angle just as the Minotaur's Giant Axe and the ape-man's Telepathic Weapon were about to strike him, leaving a strange afterimage in the air.

"What!" The Lean Ape-man and the Minotaur were instantly horrified upon seeing this.

The Lean Ape-man, startled, frantically manipulated his Telepathic Weapon to change direction; otherwise, a collision with the Minotaur would have severely injured him.

Just as the Lean Ape-man was fully controlling his Telepathic Weapon, Yang Wu had already rushed in front of him.

"Shattering the Void!" At this moment, Yang Wu unleashed his full power.

This shot possesses boundless power.

Once a Spiritual Master is brought close by a martial artist, their fate is clearly sealed.

Yang Wu thrust out his spear, shattering the space instantly. Yang Wu spear then struck the Lean Ape-man directly between the eyebrows, the terrifying spear light raging through his skull, easily killing him.

"Let's end this!" After the Lean Ape-man died, Yang Wu dodged the Minotaur's attack and charged towards the Snake Woman.

In fact, once the Lean Ape-man was killed by Yang Wu in close combat, the outcome of this battle was already decided.

At the summit of the Primal Heavenly Mountain, shrouded in mist, Yang Wu looked down at the three mangled corpses and thought to himself, "If I had only simply passed the Twelfth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge, I probably wouldn't have been able to get through this Primal Heavenly Mountain today!"

"Unfortunately, my Movement Technique is far superior to my attack!"

As a martial artist, the greatest fear is being too weak in Movement Technique, making it impossible to get close enough to fight an enemy. Therefore, Yang Wu places great importance on his Movement Technique, both in simulated experiences and in reality.

Nearly ten thousand years of simulated experience had allowed Yang Wu to integrate all his Law Comprehension into his Movement Technique.

After all, although Yang Wu was considered a minor genius in the Simulator, his speed of Law Comprehension wasn't that amazing. So, while comprehending Law, he naturally had to try to practice some secret techniques.

Although some secret techniques are impossible for Yang Wu to use because he is only at the Universe Level, at the Universe Level, Yang Wu has already brought all the secret techniques he has cultivated to their limit.

That's right.

The Law Comprehension that Yang Wu gained during the simulation were extremely important; they formed the foundation of his immense strength.

But Yang Wu's gains from the simulation were far more than that. For example, the <Flame Crystal Nine Refinement Body> was something that some Universe Level geniuses in the Taichu Secret Realm had spent over a thousand years just to master.

Although Yang Wu's talent is currently stronger, how long will it take him to master this secret technique?

However, after the simulation ended, he instantly mastered the secret technique, saving him hundreds of years of arduous practice.

For example, the Void Tower. If it weren't for the cultivation experience from the simulation, even if Yang Wu's Law Comprehension heaven-defying, he probably wouldn't have been able to condense a five-layered tower at the Universe Level.

Suddenly--

The injuries on the three corpses in front of Yang Wu disappeared instantly, and they returned to normal. Then, the Minotaur, the Snake Woman, and the ape man also stood up.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Yang Wu, you have successfully traversed the Primal Heavenly Mountain."

The three Gatekeeper at the summit all smiled and congratulated Yang Wu.

Standing atop the Primal Heavenly Mountain, Yang Wu looked down at the endless, desolate land below and the two slightly lower Tiandi and earth not far away, the Taichu Tongtian, and said softly, "This is just the beginning!"

Immediately, Yang Wu's figure vanished from the Heavenly Mountain Plane.
