Planetary Level

As time passed, Yang Wu's troubles lessened considerably after his victory in the sparring match with the Third Speaker at the War God Palace.

Aside from attending the wedding of Phantom Squad leader Chu Tian and Lu Qing, Yang Wu had been focusing on his cultivation at home.

It's unclear whether the two got married after Lu Gang's death in the original story. However, in this world, with Yang Wu's arrival, Lu Gang is still alive, and Chu Tian has broken through to the War God Level even faster because of Yang Wu. So, everything has become wonderful.

However, ever since Yang Wu used the Spirit of Vegetation to bring his physical attributes to the peak of the War God, his cultivation has stagnated.

In terms of physical attributes, Yang Wu is capable of breaking through to the Planetary Level. Because his mental state has reached the first level, his spirit and willpower far surpass those of ordinary Planetary Level martial artists, and he can basically break through at any time.

However, in order to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, Yang Wu decided to wait a while longer.

As for techniques, Yang Wu has already mastered the <World Destroyer> spear technique to its limit, and the other secret manuals on Earth are extremely ordinary. The only one he can continue to cultivate is <Martial Artist Secret Manual 289 Style>.

However, Yang Wu did not have any subsequent cultivation techniques. Therefore, Yang Wu could only begin to slowly study his own field and gradually familiarize himself with it.

Time quickly passed to February 2057.

In January, Yang Wu also participated in a simulation, but some unexpected events occurred during the simulation, resulting in Yang Wu gaining nothing.

February 1st, early morning.

After having breakfast, Yang Wu entered the Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber and once again activated his Life Simulation.

"The characters in The Sims are created by the Simulator itself, and their memories differ from those of the host. Please operate with caution."

"Please select the personality of your Sim."

"1. Cautious; 2. Brave; 3. Cold-blooded."

Yang Wu did not hesitate and directly chose his courageous personality.

Then, lines of text began to appear on the Simulator panel in front of Yang Wu.

[At 25, through continuous and arduous training, your physical attributes have reached the peak of Advanced War God, and you have also comprehended the Flame Domain.]

[In March, you ventured into the Wilderness Area to hunt monsters and hone your skills, only to be besieged by several King Level monsters. In a life-or-death crisis, you successfully broke through to the Planetary Level and even managed to kill two King Level monsters.]

[In September, having already reached the Planetary Level, you decided to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins in order to obtain profound secret manuals, despite the opposition of the Hall Master 'Hong'. You became the first Planetary Level martial artist to enter the ruins.]

[You have triggered an elite-level assessment mission in No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, and have been trapped in a crystal house by the ruins' Controller, thus beginning your death-defying assessment mission.]

[The Ruins Controller has provided you with three years' worth of water and food, and has tasked you with breaking through the assessment room within those three years. Failure to complete the mission will result in death.]

[At 26, you diligently practiced the secret manual inscribed on the wall in the assessment room, unleashing 20 times your normal power. With the aid of your domain, you successfully broke through the assessment room.]

[You have successfully passed the Elite Assessment mission at No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins and received a large reward.]

[At age 27, a new ruin appeared on the Australia Continent, containing a treasure called Muya Crystal, which sparked a global frenzy among the strongest. Your strength far surpasses that of the other Councilor, giving you a significant advantage in the competition for the Muya Crystal. Ultimately, you obtained four Muya Crystal.]

[Many powerful forces wanted to exchange their Muya Crystal for yours, but you refused them all, having already learned of the Muya Crystal's miraculous effects. Subsequently, you used the Muya Crystal to cultivate your Genetic Origin Energy in the Gravity Chamber, and within a year, you successfully broke through to the third tier of the Planetary Level.]

[At age 28, a terrifying monster with Star Level power suddenly appears on Earth. Humanity uses Destruction nuclear bombs and mysterious firearms obtained from Ancient Civilization Ruins, yet they only manage to wound it.]

[After the monster was wounded, Hong and Thor, Thunder God had just mastered their domains, decided to ignite their domains and fight the monster to the death. You, who had also mastered your domain, stepped forward as well.]

[During the process of burning through the domain, your understanding of the domain deepened, and you successfully broke through to the Domain Second Layer.]

However, that terrifying monster was simply too powerful. Under its full-force attack, Hong and Thunder God were severely injured and fell unconscious, and you, being weaker, were killed instantly.

After the simulation ended, Yang Wu frowned.

Yang Wu was not at all surprised to fall to the Golden Horned Beast.

After all, the Golden Horned Beast belongs to one of the most elite bloodlines in the universe, reaching the World Lord Level upon adulthood, making its strength extremely terrifying.

With ten times the genetic potential, plus various Innate Secret Technique, it is enough to make it stand out among its peers.

Even a newly born, Stellar Level One Golden Horned Beast is not something that can be defeated by a few Planetary Level who have comprehended a domain.

With their domains, Yang Wu and his companions were practically invincible among their peers at the Planetary Level, and could even fight opponents of higher levels. However, the Golden Horned Beast at the Star Level was equally invincible among its peers, and Yang Wu and his group were naturally no match for it.

Even Luo Feng, who burned his life force in the original story, would probably not have been able to break through the Golden Horned Beast's soul defense without the help of the Universe Level Spiritual Force left behind by Hu Yanbo in his Sea of Consciousness.

To Yang Wu's surprise, he encountered another attack by King Level monster in the Simulator.

This reminded Yang Wu of his experience during the simulation in January.

[At 25, through continuous hard work and cultivation, your physical attributes have approached the peak of the War God Level, and you have comprehended the Flame Domain.]

[In January, you ventured into the Wilderness Area to hunt monsters and hone your skills, only to be suddenly attacked by several King Level monsters. You fought valiantly, but were still killed by the King Level monsters before rescue arrived.]

Because of this simulation experience, Yang Wu didn't leave the Base City at all throughout January.

However, during the second simulation, Yang Wu was once again besieged by a King Level monster.

Once in January, once in March. How could it be such a coincidence?

"It must be a conspiracy!" Yang Wu was quite certain in his heart.

"The simulation is over. You can choose one of the following rewards."

[1. Martial arts skill level at age 28.]

[2. Martial arts insights at age 28.]

[3. Simulated life experiences.]

"I choose option two!"

He absolutely could not give up on comprehending the second level of martial arts! As for the conspiracy, Yang Wu already had a plan in mind.

The instant Yang Wu made his choice, countless insights flooded his mind again, some about domains, others about Force Application Technique...

Countless insights appeared in Yang Wu's mind, then merged with each other, allowing Yang Wu to fully comprehend them.

"Since Planetary Level beings can also enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, then the next step is to break through to the Planetary Level!"

After finishing his comprehension, Yang Wu sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate the Guidance Technique recorded in the <World Destroyer> manual.

In fact, someone like Yang Wu, with sufficient awareness, spirit, and physical qualities, could break through to the first level of the Planetary Level at any time.

Yang Wu simply thought that once Planetary Level, he would no longer be able to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, so he had never tried to break through.

Before long, Yang Wu felt his whole body begin to heat up, as if every cell in his body was boiling.

The body's Genetic Origin Energy begins to gather, from droplets forming streams, then rivers...

Warm currents appeared throughout Yang Wu's body, gathering and eventually converging at the Dantian point in his abdomen.

"Boom!"

In Yang Wu's Dantian, it was as if Pangu Heaven Opening, instantly opening up with a roar. The rotating Genetic Origin Energy continuously gathered, then expanded and contracted within the Dantian, becoming smaller each time.

Finally, Yang Wu felt a tremor run through his soul, and a fiery red Miniature Planet formed from Genetic Origin Energy appeared in his Dantian.

The Miniature Planet was constantly rotating, emitting strange fluctuations.

Subsequently, wisps of fiery red Genetic Origin Energy separated from the Miniature Planet and continuously merged into Yang Wu's body.

As the Genetic Origin Energy continued to integrate, Yang Wu's entire body underwent an astonishing transformation, far more remarkable than when he used Dragon Blood and the Spirit of Vegetation.

At the same time, wisps of flame began to appear on Yang Wu's body. The flames then gathered more and more, and soon completely enveloped Yang Wu.

When a martial artist advances from the Apprentice Level to the Planetary Level, they will awaken their own special ability. Yang Wu's special ability is clearly the 'fire attribute' among the eight basic attributes.

As his special abilities were activated, Yang Wu's body continued to be modified, becoming even more suited to fire.

At this moment, Yang Wu's Flame Domain was finally able to be released outside his body.

An invisible and intangible fiery red domain enveloped Yang Wu, subtly exerting control over the surrounding space.

"No wonder the Hall Master possesses Planetary Level invincible strength!"

Feeling the power of the domain, Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "This domain is indeed excessively powerful!"

"Now, let's see who's behind this!"

In the Simulator, Yang Wu was attacked twice by King Level monsters at different times. No matter whose conspiracy it was, Yang Wu would not let them get away with it!
