Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 113 Conquering the Heavenly Mountain, Becoming a Realm Lord
The Tongtian Mountain Plane.

Yu Duan's figure appeared directly at the foot of Tongtian Mountain, startling the white-haired ape.

"Your Highness Yu Duan, only a little over a thousand years have passed, and you're already confident you can conquer the Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level?"

The white-haired ape naturally recognized Yu Duan.

"Well, let's get started."

As Yu Duan was speaking, the minotaur and the snake woman flew over from two other directions at the foot of the mountain.

Swish!
A white-gold crystal-like longsword appeared in Yu Duan's palm, countless secret patterns intertwined and lit up, instantly rippling with a magnificent and dreamlike glow.

"Qiang!"

Swords flashed, and the battle was about to begin.

……

The two passes at the foot and halfway up the original Tongtian Mountain were no longer a challenge for Duan.

The checkpoint at the foot of the mountain is equivalent to the level of the fourteenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

The mountain pass is at the level of the fifteenth floor of the Sky Bridge.

Yu Duan did not use illusion attacks. He took the opportunity of this mountain expedition to practice the 'Inanimate Object Pause' transformation that he had just mastered.

In a short while, the guards at both checkpoints were easily defeated by Yu Duan.

"Shh!"

A dazzling streak of light flew rapidly upwards along the towering Tongtian Mountain, and after a few minutes...

Yu Duan's figure broke through layers of clouds and landed on the mountain peak shrouded in endless mist.

The three gatekeepers atop the mountain were already on high alert, their auras surging as they stared intently at Yu Duan.

"Your Highness Yu Duan, please use your full strength!"

The burly bull-headed figure roared, and the dark purple giant axe erupted with an endless, thick aura of blood!

In an instant, time and space trembled violently, and thousands of axe shadows tore through the sky, forming countless cracks that cleaved towards Yu Duan from all directions.

"cut!"

Yu Duan let out a soft shout, his voice containing a magical power that instantly swept over the three gatekeepers.

At the same time, the sword of time was drawn, and the fundamental laws of time and light combined to unleash an undying sword light in an instant.

Thousands of axe shadows exploded in an instant, and the sword light rushed straight towards the minotaur!

"Snake girl!!!"

The minotaur roared and instantly retreated, dodging the sword light.

This sword light was barely at the level of the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and was far inferior to the axe shadow cast by the minotaur.

However, Yu Duan's 'slash' contained a strong illusionary sound, which made the minotaur only able to leisurely resist the illusionary sound and unable to fight with all his might!
"Stop yelling! I've already used all my illusion magic to interfere, but it's useless!"

The snake woman's eyes shone brightly, and her long hair rippled with endless luster. As she unleashed her movement technique, the thin veil covering her body fell away.

Her exquisitely curvaceous figure was completely exposed, and countless secret patterns lit up on her fair skin. An illusion of endless desire swept over her, but it could not shake Yu Duan's mind at all.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of black streaks of light tore through the sky, instantly forming a black jade longsword that pierced through the void and appeared behind Yu Duan, slashing towards him.

Almost simultaneously, all three gatekeepers unleashed their strongest attacks.

If a genius barely manages to pass the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, they basically can't withstand this combination of attacks.

"Shh!"

In an instant, the black jade sword tore through Yu Duan's figure.

But almost at the same time, Yu Duan's figure, which had been split in two, suddenly blurred and transformed into a dazzling nebula-like material domain, which then spread out.

Following closely behind, the nebula matter condensed into hundreds of peaks, each emanating a pressure far exceeding that of immortal gods, as if hundreds of great beings had made their move.

"boom!"

One after another, towering swords materialized.

As those colossal swords of heaven and earth coalesced, the void was torn apart by terrifying rifts spanning countless billions of kilometers. The entire Tongtian Bridge plane teetered on the brink of collapse, and countless dazzling sword lights rippled outwards, filling layers of void.

boom!
The colossal swords of heaven and earth slashed down, instantly shattering space and time into countless turbulent storms. The three gatekeepers, along with the entire Tongtian Mountain plane, were reduced to dust in an instant.

The battle is over!

……

"Buzz!"

At the summit of the original Tongtian Mountain, the rippling nebula began to shrink.

In the blink of an eye, the nebula-like matter condensed into Duan's figure, which hovered in mid-air, his blue battle robe undamaged.

The three gatekeepers lay dead on the ground, each with a sword wound running through their foreheads, but no other injuries. Their aura and energy had completely dissipated.

"Buzz!"

The corpses of the three gatekeepers dissipated into streams of light, and then reformed.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on successfully conquering the Primal Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord-level peak!"

The three gatekeepers bowed to Yu Duan in unison.

Yu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work fighting me."

After saying that, Yu Duan disappeared from the spot without the slightest hesitation.

After Yu Duan left, the three gatekeepers breathed a sigh of relief.

"His Highness's will is unwavering; it cannot be swayed in the slightest," the snake woman said helplessly.

The minotaur chuckled: "It must be because you're too slutty. Even if you stripped naked, His Highness wouldn't bother to look at you!"

"roll roll roll!"

...In Chaos City, among countless cultivation residences, on the rooftop of one of the buildings.

Yu Duan sat cross-legged with a serene expression.

A moment later, Yu Duan opened his eyes, his expression relaxed.

"Everything went smoothly. However, I still exposed too many problems in this battle."

Yu Duan was very clear about where his problem lay.

That means they haven't practiced any combat techniques at all.

The secret technique "Eternal Cycle" is purely a method to assist in comprehending the laws.

Although the "Principles of Space" manual contains tens of thousands of secret techniques, including combat techniques, Yu Duan did not study them.

Relying solely on the Time Sword Technique, it has long been impossible to fully utilize the insights into the laws of the universe.

This time, Yu Duan did not use any powerful secret techniques to pass the test.

Simply relying on one's own understanding of the laws and basic illusion techniques to force one through is a miracle of sheer force!

"It's not too late to break through to the Realm Lord level first, and then choose a secret technique that suits you."

With a thought, Yu Duan's consciousness entered the world within his body.

"Rumble..."

The entire inner world was roaring violently, and small cosmic crystal mountains were rapidly melting and evaporating!

A continent with a diameter of 90 kilometers began to shrink and condense... but the space within the entire inner world was expanding wildly.

In just a moment, the original continent condensed into towering mountains, forming a deep abyss filled with terrifying power to devour and dissolve.

At the same time, countless points of light were coalescing, forming a palm-sized, colorful crystal in the abyss.

“Normal Golden Horned Beasts condense Golden Horn Boundary Stones with the Golden and Void attributes. But what I condensed... is a special crystal core containing four attributes: Light, Gold, Time, and Space. It should be easier to improve.”

As the four-colored crystals condensed, Yu Duan sensed the changes within them.

Your own core crystal can absorb treasures of four different attributes to enhance it.

The Golden Horn Boundary Stone can only absorb treasures with the attributes of gold and void to enhance its power.

As the transformation of his inner world was completed, Yu Duan's Origin Force Crystal Core and Mind Force Crystal Core suddenly melted.

hum!
Two distinct energies began to merge under the influence of consciousness and the power of laws, eventually coalescing into a single, strange, and dazzling light.

This is the power of the world!
Through this wisp of world power, Yu Duan immediately sensed the vast origin of the universe.

"Boom!"

The power of the world resonated with the origin of the universe, and a void passage was instantly opened.

Endless primordial energy of the universe surged wildly into Yu Duan's inner world through this void passage.

"Continent, solidify!"

With a mere thought, Yu Duan caused countless energies to converge, surrounding the central mountain range and coalescing into a supercontinent with a diameter of one million kilometers.

Outside the continent lies a vast ocean with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, filling the entire space of the inner world.

A moment later, the inner world completed its natural evolution, with continents, oceans, mountains, flowers, and plants all condensing into form, indistinguishable from the real world.

Even after the evolution of the inner world has ended, a rich source of cosmic energy still fills the inner world.

With a thought from Yu Duan, this cosmic energy instantly condensed into countless cosmic crystals, piling up into mountains within his inner world.

After the transformation of his inner world was completed, Yu Duan had a thought, and a wisp of his consciousness, following the resonance of the world's power, entered the vast origin of the universe along the void passage.

In Yu Duan's consciousness, this primordial land of the universe is a vast continent.

Every grain of sand on this continent contains a vast spacetime and world, filled with endless primordial energy.

"point!"

With a thought, Yu Duan's consciousness instantly split in two.

Half of their consciousness remained on this primordial continent, while the other half ventured into the vast ocean of the fundamental laws of time.

"Boom!"

The vast white ocean rolled endlessly, and Yu Duan's wisp of consciousness transformed into a drop of water, merging into the ocean and drifting and swimming with the endless waves.

This ocean is the origin of time in the primordial universe, the root of all changes in the laws of time.

……

At the same time, after Yu Duan completed his breakthrough, the virtual universe network sensed a leap in Yu Duan's life force.

Immediately, a message reached the top management of Virtual Universe Company.

Inside a magnificent palace on Thunder Island.

Ten cosmic masters gathered together for a meeting.

These 10 Cosmic Venerables are the management team responsible for handling important internal affairs of the company within these 10 epochs.

After 10 epochs, another 10 Cosmic Venerables will take over to handle the company's affairs.

"According to regulations, the core members of the company at the realm master level are required to go to the battlefield outside the realm for training... However, Yu Duan's situation is rather special, so this meeting is to discuss this issue."

"Just report directly to the city lord; you and I don't need to make a decision."

"Makes sense!"

……

A moment later, shortly after Yu Duan completed his breakthrough, an email arrived.

"Master, master, the great Lord of Chaos City summons you!"

A natural figure appeared, with a virtual light screen above its head displaying only one sentence: Come to the inner palace of the city lord's mansion to see me.
