The Ancestral God Stele and the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain

Above the Altar Blood Pool.

Chiling clone felt the surging power within his body. He had not only transformed into an Imperial Race life form, but his realm had also leaped from the stellar level to the ninth level of the cosmic level. With just a thought, he could break through to the Domain Lord.

His soul was also enveloped by a transparent crystal sphere covered with lightning-inspired patterns.

Origin Core.

It is Origin Core that only the Luoxiao Imperial Race possesses. Within the Origin Core, there is even an invisible connection that links it to another world— the Inner World of the Imperial Race's life form.

That was a continent, spanning 30,000 kilometers in length and width.

Dark golden clouds filled the sky above the vast continent, crackling with lightning that constantly exploded, creating an apocalyptic scene. As a result, although the continent was shrouded in dark golden clouds, the intermittent lightning prevented it from appearing truly dark.

It really is Special Lifeform, Jiang Yao thought to himself with secret delight, his efforts had not been in vain.

From this moment on, the Chiling clone truly possessed the same power as his original self. Moreover, compared to the Human Main Body, who needed to painstakingly comprehend and analyze the laws, the Chiling clone could unleash the Lightning-Time Fusion Law at the Heavenly Bridge simply by relying on instinct.

After Chiling clone, he no longer needed to comprehend and analyze the laws to improve. He only needed to continuously draw out the power of the drop of Origin Blood Essence from the depths of his soul, and his Beast God Intent would continue to improve, as would his Fusion Law.

It's definitely the easiest and most effortless clone.

Dragon Eagle King handed a thin metal plate to Chiling clone and smiled, "This is information about the Giant Axe Coliseum my Human Race clashed with the Giant Axe."

Seeing Chiling probe his consciousness into the thin metal sheet, the Dragon Eagle King spoke gently, "Since 60,000 epochs ago, every time the Sacred Altar opens, those with outstanding talent from the Royal Bloodline will be selected to enter the Core Layer of the Giant Axe Coliseum. However, those who enter my Giant Axe Coliseum are usually first absorbed into the Shenshi Secret Realm or the Tianxu Secret Realm."

"But the highest level of the Giant Axe Coliseum is the Giant Axe Secret Realm. You have already transformed into an Imperial Race life form and can directly enter the Giant Axe Secret Realm to receive the nurturing of the Human Race's top geniuses."

After feigning hesitation, Chiling clone agreed, "Chiling is willing to join the Giant Axe Coliseum."

Joining the Core Layer the five major powers would not only grant him access to top-tier resources and training opportunities, but also provide him with protection. He simply couldn't find a reason not to join.

"Good!" Dragon Eagle King laughed heartily. The Luoxiao Race's Imperial Bloodline is definitely one of the most outstanding talents among humans under normal circumstances. If it weren't for the extreme difficulty of becoming Immortal God, the fame of the Luo Xiao Imperial Bloodline would have long been comparable to the 12 peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Behemoth.

The Dragon Eagle King was extremely excited about the gains from the opening of the Sacred Altar, as if he had regained a little face in front of the Virtual Universe Company.

However, it was only a tiny bit. Dragon Eagle King knew in his heart that a genius of Jiang Yao's caliber was far beyond what the Luoxiao Imperial Race could compare to.

Blood Axe King beamed with joy. To him, countless inferior bloodlines of the Luoxiao Race were no match for the Imperial Bloodline. Only the Imperial Bloodline was truly regarded as one of his own, as the true descendants of the God Emperor.

"The Sacred Altar Baptism is over. All those below the royal bloodline shall withdraw from the Sacred Altar Forbidden Domain!" After selecting two more geniuses from Jiang Yao Luoxiao Royal to recruit into the Giant Axe Coliseum, Dragon Eagle King once again regained his cold and stern expression.

Blood Axe King stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the core geniuses of the five major forces, including Jiang Yao, and the Luoxiao Race geniuses like Chiling who had differentiated into royal bloodlines or higher. "Follow me!"

Completely bewildered, the geniuses from the five major powers and the Luoxiao Race followed the two Immortal Expert out of the Altar Blood Pool and entered the underground through a passage behind the Blood Pool.

After going down more than ten kilometers underground, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground cavern surrounded by rock walls.

On a high platform, there is a gray stone tablet that looks like it was carved from rock. On the front of the tablet is a strange-looking creature.

It showed no abnormalities, no charm whatsoever; it was just like an ordinary rock monument, even rougher.

However, the moment Chiling clone saw the stone tablet, his soul felt a tremor.

Blood Axe King said with reverence, "This is the third treasure of the Nine Star Sea, besides the Stone Stairs and the Sacred Altar: the Ancestral God Stele!"

Ancestral God Stele?

Jiang Yao's mind raced. Combining the tremor in Chiling clone's soul just now, could it be related to the Ancestral God Sect?

"This is a treasure brought back from the Ancestral God Sect by His Majesty the God Emperor of this clan," said the Blood Axe King, looking at the simple and rough stone tablet. "It contains extremely profound inheritances. Unfortunately, for countless years, no one in my Luoxiao Race has been able to gain recognition for this Supreme Treasure and obtain its inheritance, including geniuses like you from the Core Layer of the five major powers."

Dragon Eagle King continued, "Every time the Sacred Altar opens, all the geniuses of the five major forces who have received the Sacred Altar Baptism, as well as those of royal blood or above from the Luoxiao Race, can observe the Ancestral God Stele. However, no one has ever been able to obtain the inheritance of the Ancestral God Stele, including the former Venerable Shihuo."

"Of course, besides you low-level geniuses, some World Lord Level geniuses, and even the Immortal God of my Giant Axe Coliseum and the Luoxiao Race, have come here to try to obtain the inheritance of the Ancestral God Stele, but all have failed."

Jiang Yao pondered for a moment. No wonder they opened it up to these low-level geniuses to observe. It must be because even the Immortal Expert couldn't obtain the inheritance of the Ancestral God Stele, so they simply decided to try their luck and see if any lucky ones would emerge from among the low-level geniuses.

"Everyone will ascend the platform in turn. Each person has only three days to observe. If you gain nothing within three days, it means you are not destined to obtain the Ancestral God Stele."

Dragon Eagle King's gaze swept over the crowd. "You can observe the Ancestral God Stele however you like. You can use your consciousness or mental power to explore it, or you can try dripping blood on the Ancestral God Stele, or you can directly attack the Ancestral God Stele."

Amidst the curious laughter of the crowd, the Dragon Eagle King sneered, "Believe me, you are utterly incapable of causing any damage to the Ancestral God Stele, even if some of you have already reached the Domain Lord level, or used Glittering Star Stone or Holy Star Stone."

Dragon Eagle King turned his gaze to the geniuses from the five major forces, including Jiang Yao: "Let's start with you. The order is: Giant Axe Coliseum, Virtual Universe Company, Universe Galaxy Bank, Universe Mercenary Alliance, and First Universe Bank. You can decide the order within yourselves."

The royal geniuses of the Luoxiao Race were somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that Blood Axe King and Chiling clone did not express any objection, they could only obediently comply.

As one of only two Imperial Race among the Luoxiao Race present Blood Axe King was indifferent to the discontent of the clan's geniuses. It was only natural that the five major Human Race forces would prioritize this matter. Moreover, for many years, no one had been able to obtain the inheritance of this Ancestral God Stele, and even many Immortal Experts were at a loss. To Blood Axe King, this was just a routine matter.

Blood Axe King's gaze fell on Jiang Yao. If there was anyone who could possibly obtain the Ancestral God Stele, it would only be the current number one genius of this Human Race. Otherwise, the Holy Temple Master would not have made an excuse to prevent Jiang Yao from undergoing the Sacred Altar Baptism.

After some internal discussion, Naluo of the Giant Axe Coliseum walked ahead to the ancient-looking Ancestral God Stele in full view of everyone.

Naluo, who had already reached the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, first dripped a drop of blood onto the Ancestral God Stele, but the Ancestral God Stele did not react at all.

Somewhat disappointed, Naluo then sat cross-legged in Ancestral God Stele, closed his eyes, and presumably began to comprehend it using his mental power or other methods.

Obviously, no one would give up in less than three days. No one understands better than the core geniuses of the five major powers just how valuable a high-level inheritance from the Ancestral God Sect truly is.

There are 15 geniuses in the Giant Axe Coliseum. It will take more than a month for Jiang Yao to be selected, and it will take more than half a year for Chiling clone to be selected. Jiang Yao was just about to sort out the Years secret technique he obtained on the Stone Stairs when he suddenly froze.

"Is the cosmic-level Qualification Battle about to begin?"

Jiang Yao and Laiyi, who were both at the Primal Secret Realm Universe level, exchanged a glance and immediately devoted most of their consciousness to the Virtual Universe.

Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region.

"The Primal Region's cosmic-level Qualification Battle is about to begin. All assemble."

A deep, resonant voice instantly echoed throughout the entire Primal Region, and the four cosmic-level members soared into the sky, standing in the form of a figure in purple robes.

Of the four current cosmic-level members in the Primal Region, besides Jiang Yao and Laiyi, who also accepted the Nine Star Sea cultivation mission, there is also a Red-Haired Youth Ailer and a bald man named Kun.

Both of them focused their gaze on Jiang Yao, their expressions somewhat bitter.

During the last Qualification Battle, Jiang Yao was still in Chaos City. Newcomers are exempt from participating in Qualification Battle if they stay in Chaos City for 30 years.

In this Qualification Battle, one of the two— the Red-Haired Youth and the bald man—must be eliminated.

Jiang Yao, needless to say, is a prodigy who could have won first place even in a Domain Lord- level Qualification Battle. Laiyi has also already passed the 8th level of the Heavenly Bridge, so his strength is indeed a notch above the two of them.

The positions of the Primal Secret Region Member are relatively stable. At least in the past thousand years, the top three in the Qualification Battle have all been the same three. No genius in the Primordial Secret Realm has been able to challenge their positions.

Even if newcomers join, they usually find it difficult to challenge the veterans' status in the first few Qualification Battle. They will all be defeated in the first Qualification Battle and sent to the Primordial Secret Realm. This is also a way for the Virtual Universe Company to hone the character of geniuses.

Jiang Yao was an unreasonable newcomer. It was one thing that he passed the 6th level on his first attempt at crossing the Heavenly Bridge, but he passed the 11th level on his second attempt. This was practically a dimensional reduction attack among the universe-level members of the Primal Region.

The purple-robed Immortal God who organized the Qualification Battle chuckled inwardly, then felt a pang of sympathy for the other three. To be born in the same era as such a monster was truly a tragedy.

After the rules were explained, Jiang Yao and the other three were teleported to a special scene in the Virtual Universe, where each of them would participate in three battles.

In less than half a day, the six battles were almost over. Jiang Yao naturally won all three battles, ending the fights decisively. No opponent could withstand even a single blow from him.

"Your Prince Jiang Yao, another battle is not over yet," the purple-robed Immortal God chuckled. "Would you like to watch a live broadcast of their battle?"

"No need." Jiang Yao had no interest in this squabbling between inexperienced players. "I'm going to explore the Primal Heaven-Reaching Mountain."

"The Primal Heaven-Reaching Mountain?"

The man in purple was taken aback for a moment, then congratulated him with a look of amazement, "Then I wish Your Highness success in conquering the mountain."

He remembered that Jiang Yao had passed through 11 levels of the Heavenly Bridge ninety years ago. How could he pass through 12 levels in just ninety years?

Ninety years is but a fleeting moment for Core Layer cosmic genius who cultivates for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Not to mention that advancing one level on the Heavenly Bridge to Heaven becomes increasingly difficult; advancing one level in an entire era is considered fast.

The man in purple was unaware of Jiang Yao's experiences in the Nine Star Sea world.

Jiang Yao smiled. Ninety years ago, he had already reached the level of the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge based solely on his understanding of the Space-Time Law. However, his realm was still too low, making it difficult for him to unleash the true power of the eighth level of the Universe Divine Weapon.

He has now mastered the fourth level of "Eye of Zhenhuang," with Mental Power Amplitude of 1600 times. Let alone the eighth level, he could even manage to use the ninth level with all his might.

As for the Path of the Beast God, that goes without saying.

However, the Path of the Beast God is not needed for simply venturing into the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain.

Virtual Universe, a specially Opening dimensional space.

On this vast land stand three majestic mountains, each one taller than the last.

Carrying the Universe Divine Weapon, Jiang Yao transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and stopped at the foot of the cosmic-level Heaven-Reaching Mountain.

The tall, minotaur-like figure, awakened from a deep sleep atop the boulder, blinked in surprise. "You want to challenge the Primal Heaven-Reaching Mountain?"

After receiving Jiang Yao's confirmation, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Monkey! Snake Woman! Someone's trying to break into the mountain!"

Immediately, two streaks of Flowing Light flew in from afar.

"Jiang Yao?"

"Your Prince Jiang Yao, I didn't hear that you recently passed the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge? Passing it is no easy feat."

Jiang Yao laughed and said, "Then you can judge whether my 'Heavenly Axe Manifesting the Cosmos' is up to par?"

In an instant, thousands of shimmering lights formed a Giant Axe with gray-white patterns on its surface.

It is the Heavenly Universe Divine Weapon Sky Dome Axe!

With a single axe strike, the blurry, chaotic axe shadow transformed into a long, chaotic Long River, completely engulfing the three minotaurs.

The mountaintop was shrouded in mist, and Jiang Yao, who had been trekking through the foot and waist of the mountain, disturbed the snoring bull-headed man.

The Snake Woman looked at Jiang Yao, her voice soft. "Your Prince Jiang Yao, you are the most likely genius in nearly ten thousand epochs to conquer the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain. However, the three of us will not easily admit defeat. If you cannot stably wield the Sky Dome Axe for a long time with your cosmic-level psychic power, you will be worn down by us."

Jiang Yao said softly, "Then I'm afraid I won't give you the chance to wear me down."

Boom!

The Universe Divine Weapon behind him instantly disintegrated.

The Snake Woman and the other two's expressions changed drastically. "How is this possible?"

Endless light bloomed on the mountaintop, yet nothing concrete could be seen; one could only vaguely sense an invisible halo constantly rotating.

A powerful force capable of annihilating the world and Control of Space-Time spread out.

It's as if a spacetime has suddenly developed its own will, wanting to decide the life and death of other lives in this world.

The ninth level of the Universe Divine Weapon – the Wheel of the Universe!

Then, an invisible halo of light spun and crashed down on the three of them, as if the world had collapsed and they had all crumbled and shattered.

Minotaur, Snake Woman, and Ape-man were like fragile porcelain under such power.

After everything settled down, Jiang Yao stood atop the mountain, feeling the exhaustion of his mental energy, but also a sense of exhilaration.

With a 1600-fold Mental Power Amplitude, coupled with his willpower enhanced 45 times by the transformation of the Stone Stairs, he was actually able to unleash the ninth form of the Universe Divine Weapon at the Universe Level 9 Realm.

If he were to combine his two Beast God Intent, he would be able to unleash the power of the Universe Divine Weapon beyond the limits of his predecessors.

The two Fusion Law Light-Time, and Fire-Space, can perfectly enhance the Universe Divine Weapon that combines the Space-Time Law, and maintain a just-right balance.

Just like how Luo Feng's Gold-Space Path of the Beast God enhanced the Yan Shen Armament in the original work.

At the same moment.

Thunder Island the Virtual Universe became lively as all the company's management members learned the news— Jiang Yao had conquered the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain!

There will be another chapter in the early morning.
