On a platform at the foot of Demon Mountain, palaces of various sizes and shapes stretch out in an undulating pattern, among which one emerald green palace is much larger than the others.

Outside the palace gates, a group of Yao Rao Snake Woman clad in emerald green armor stood upright, each with an astonishingly beautiful appearance.

A young man dressed in white robes walked over. He dared not look at the faces of these Snake Woman and headed towards the palace gate.

He only entered after obtaining permission.

"Greetings Marquis Po Yu!"

The young man in white robes knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.

" Yi Chang, I read your email. Has that genius from the Primal Secret Region named Luo Feng entered Demon Mountain?"

A cold, clear voice rang out, as if ice pierced the soul.

The white-robed youth shivered. Even though he was a powerful World Lord Ninth Stage, he felt as if he could die at any moment in front of this Marquis Po Yu.

Thinking of the legend of Marquis Po Yu, the white-robed youth did not hesitate and quickly replied, "Lord Marquis Po Yu, His Highness Luo Feng's spaceship has just arrived and should still be going through the procedures. It has not yet entered the Demon Mountain."

,"Um.

The cold, clear voice rang out again.

Then a silver-white gun with a one-meter caliber was thrown in front of him.

" Marquis Po Yu Marquis----"

The white-robed youth glanced at the Machine Race weapons on the ground, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

This is an E9-class Machine Race Laser Gun. Even for him, the chances of surviving an attack by this Laser Gun are extremely slim.

Why did Marquis Po Yu hand him this gun? Did he want him to assassinate Prince Luo Feng?

How is that possible!

Yi Chang thought about it for a moment and realized how absurd his idea was. Marquis Po Yu was a big shot in the Virtual Universe Company, and Prince Luo Feng was a genius in the Primal Secret Region. How could they possibly assassinate him and even ask him to do it?

But when he thought of Marquis Po Yu's past crazy behavior, he didn't feel confident.

" Yi Chang — Luo Feng is a genius from our Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region. It would be such a pity if he were killed by those natives in Demon Mountain —Give him this Laser Gun. With this weapon protecting him, he will be relatively safer in Demon Mountain."

That's really how it is!

The white-robed youth secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Yes, Marquis Po Yu, I will now hand over this weapon to Prince Luo Feng."

"Okay, go ahead, he'll be going in soon."

"Yes."

The young man in white picked up the Laser Gun from the ground, turned around, and hurriedly left the palace.

On the throne, the Yao Rao Snake Woman's emerald green eyes, full of seductive charm, gazed in the direction the young man had left. Her emerald green snake tail, several meters long, swayed, indicating that her emotions were somewhat fluctuating.

" Luo Feng —that bastard Zhen Yan's junior brother—I really want to kill him, but unfortunately he's a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable."

" The Myriad Laws Venerable! A being of the level of Universe Overlord! Hah—I can't afford to offend him, nor can my race."

" Luo Feng is truly lucky to be a disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable. If he were Zhen Yan's disciple, I would definitely kill him, kill him!!"

A burst of maniacal laughter echoed from within the palace. The Snake People Race guards standing outside the gate turned to look in the direction of the palace, their expressions a mixture of awe and worry.

Marquis Po Yu's illness seems to be getting worse.

At the foot of the Demon Mountain.

Luo Feng stored the Red Token representing his identity into his Space Ring, and then walked towards the giant passages ahead.

Suddenly a voice came.

"Your Highness Luo Feng, please wait a moment."

Luo Feng glanced back and saw a young man in white robes rushing over. The man was faintly radiating the World Power, indicating that he was a master at the World Lord Level.

Such a powerful individual—if placed in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he could establish a top-tier family—is merely an ordinary staff member in this Demon Mountain.

"What's up?"

Luo Feng stopped in his tracks.

"My name is Yi Chang. Marquis Po Yu knows that His Highness Luo Feng is going to Demon Mountain to participate in the trial, and he specially asked me to give you a treasure."

"Treasure?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Although he had received preferential treatment in many places over the years due to his status as a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, this was the first time he had ever been gifted treasures by Marquis Immortal God before participating in the trial.

Luo Feng took the Space Ring and examined it.

Then Babata's voice came through.

"Wow, Luo Feng, this is a great item! E9 Laser Gun! It can easily kill World Lord Level expert. Luo Feng, your Human Clone is only at the Universe Level 9 Realm, and Cloud-Touching Vine is only Domain Lord. With this treasure, entering this Demon Mountain will be much safer."

" Babata, I brought my Shadow Demon Race Clone with me for this challenging mission. Even if we encounter these native World Lord, we won't be afraid."

Luo Feng muttered to himself.

" Shadow Demon Race Clone, this is your last trump card. Who reveals their trump card right away? Against ordinary World Lord enemies, this weapon is more than enough. Don't underestimate this small weapon; it's worth over 5,000 Hunyuan Unit, more valuable than that Machine Race spaceship on Earth."

" Babata, I think you're just reluctant to part with these Hunyuan Unit."

Luo Feng saw through Babata's thoughts. He glanced up at the white-robed staff member, knowing he was just a deliveryman, and didn't refuse, saying, "Thank you, please convey my thanks to Marquis Po Yu."

"Your Highness Luo Feng, I will certainly deliver it to you."

Yi Chang replied very politely.

Luo Feng hummed in agreement and nodded before walking into Demon Sound Mountain.

In the dark cave, a figure cautiously made its way forward, as a biting wind blew by.

Luo Feng couldn't help but shiver.

" Babata, are you sure we're not in the wrong place? This really is Demon Sound Mountain, not Ice Mountain. Why is it so cold?"

Universe Level 9 is considered a powerful being in most parts of the universe, capable of fighting on a white dwarf.

Here, Luo Feng could clearly feel a terrifying chill emanating from his body.

Moreover, the ground and the surface of the rocks here are covered with a thin layer of ice, making it look as if a frost has just fallen.

"That's right, this is Demon Sound Mountain. We've only just entered, so we haven't heard any demonic sounds yet. The Ice Mountain is on the other side, so it's normal for it to be a bit cold here, right?"

--

Babata replied.

"Hmm, that makes sense. Be sure to scout out the dangers for me. Once we enter this place, besides being careful of the demonic sounds and Phantom Beast, we also need to be wary of the powerful natives. They all want to kill me, the genius of the Virtual Universe Company."

"No problem."

After a while...

" Luo Feng, there's a Domain Lord Ninth Stage native eight thousand meters ahead of you. He doesn't have a detector and hasn't detected our presence. Should we kill him? Didn't the staff member say that obtaining ten thousand Black Token would grant additional benefits?"

Babata suggested.

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, they haven't provoked me, why kill them! Although these people are natives of the Primordial Secret Realm, they are still members of the Human Race."

"Hmm, I forgot this isn't your Golden Horned Beast Clone."

Babata directed Luo Feng to walk in the other direction, then muttered something.

" Babata, what do you mean? Even if it's Golden Horned Beast Clone, I won't kill indiscriminately!"

"Okay, be careful."

"Waaaaah."

"Splash splash splash."

The two were still chatting when a terrifying, demonic sound suddenly appeared.

Luo Feng immediately stopped in his tracks. The sound, like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, poured directly into his soul, as if countless demons were fighting each other in his consciousness.

"You dare to show off your limited skills in front of me with such a trivial illusion!"

Luo Feng snorted.

The illusion shattered quickly.

The lingering, eerie sound in his mind vanished.

This is why he chose to go to Demon Sound Mountain. After receiving the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Technique from his teacher, Luo Feng discovered that he had a very strong resistance to illusions. Entering Demon Sound Mountain was like a fish entering the sea.

" Luo Feng, be careful. According to the records, demonic sounds vary in strength. The demonic sound we just heard wasn't particularly strong; most Universe Level beings could withstand it."

Babata said.

"Yes, I know—you can continue to investigate for me."

"Ten kilometers to your right, there's a pure white creature that looks like a panda. It should be the Phantom Beast of Demon Sound Mountain; its strength is unknown—"

"According to the information from Virtual Universe Company, this thing is impossible to kill. There's no need to provoke it. Let's move on."

"Good!"

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In a dark cave.

Luo Feng sheathed his long sword.

On the ground in front of him lay two native powerhouses at the Domain Lord Level, their bodies now separated from their heads, their Domain Lord Life Core shattered.

"He who kills will be killed in return. To avoid conflict, I disguised myself as a native. I didn't expect anyone would still try to attack me, so don't blame me."

He collected the two people's storage treasures.

Luo Feng took a look.

It's all just scrap metal, adding up to only a few hundred billion Universe Coin. After all, entering this Demon Mountain is a matter of life and death, and few people would carry their wealth with them. The items belonging to the natives inside are more valuable for collection.

"Hmm, over a hundred Black Token. These two guys must have killed quite a few people."

One hundred Black Token are still far from the ten thousand tokens needed to earn an extra reward.

Luo Feng had no intention of forcing himself to collect them all, so he accepted them for now. Whenever any native dared to attack him, he would take their tokens.

" Luo Feng, Luo Feng ----"

Babata's urgent voice came through.

" Babata, what's wrong?"

Luo Feng asked in surprise.

" Luo Feng, I've just spotted two Immortal God, extremely powerful Immortal God. They're flying towards your right front."

"A powerful Immortal God?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Isn't this Demon Mountain only open to those below the Immortal level? How come there are Immortal God here as well?

Moreover, this is the Primordial Secret Realm, a secret realm completely controlled by their Virtual Universe Company, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

" Luo Feng, didn't those natives call this Demon Mountain Holy Mountain, a Inheritance Land? Could it be that there's some terrifying inheritance here, and all these Immortal God are here for it?"

" Babata, your guess is very important. Our teacher said that every perilous mission has a secret, and the secret of this Demon Mountain might be related to these two Immortal God." A hint of excitement flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. " Babata, can you track them down?"

"Sure, your detector was a gift from your senior brother Zhen Yan. It's the detector he uses at the King Level, so it's more advanced than those others. But you'll have to be quick," Babata said.

"No problem!"

Luo Feng replied.

Then his true form disappeared, and a figure wearing a black robe appeared, with skin covered in fine, spiderweb-like patterns.

This is Luo Feng's Shadow Demon Race Clone, already at the World Lord Ninth Stage.

Law of Space fluctuate and swirl.

Following Babata's directions, Luo Feng rapidly increased his speed, tracking the location of the Immortal God he had just detected.

The Immortal God was obviously faster and ignored the demonic sound. Although Luo Feng kept chasing at top speed, the distance between them kept widening. Fortunately, his detector was very advanced and could keep up with the Immortal god.

Much later.

Luo Feng 'Shadow Demon Race Clone arrived at a wide Bing Chuan plain. The place was very open, and the Bing Chuan was straight like a mirror, but there were pits of different sizes everywhere in the Bing Chuan.

Luo Feng walked to the side of a pit and looked down.

It was impossible to see anything below clearly, but there seemed to be the roar of wild beasts.

" Babata, have all those Immortal God disappeared here? Did they enter this pit?"

Luo Feng asked.

"Logically, you should have entered this area, but I'm not sure, Luo Feng —after all, you fell too far behind in the end, so I can only determine your approximate location," Babata replied.

"I'll send Shadow Demon Race Clone inside, while my main body stays outside. If the Shadow Demon Race Clone dies, we'll leave immediately."

Luo Feng made a decision quickly.

He was about to discover the secret behind this Demon Mountain, so he naturally wouldn't give up easily. In any case, the Origin Core had always been with the Golden Horned Beast Golden Horned Beast, which was still cultivating in the Ganwu Mystic Region. Even if the Shadow Demon Race Clone and the Human Main Body all died, they could still be reborn.

There are definitely risks, but they're not too great. And once you miss such an opportunity, you might miss it forever!

The Shadow Demon Race Clone only carried its own personal treasures, handing everything else over to Luo Feng 'Human Main Body, before jumping down without hesitation.

The Domain Lord Level Cloud-Touching Vine quietly covered the Human Main Body, serving as a sturdy armor and providing some support from the Origin Force. Luo Feng Feng's main body quietly retreated to the side, focusing his attention on the perspective of the Shadow Demon Race Clone.
