Chapter 153: Passing the Universe‑Level Primitive Tong Tian Mountain

The Void Blade in Xiao Yu's hand emitted mysterious ripples; as Xiao Yu flew at high speed, a series of black streaks trailed behind him, clearly the marks left by the urgent repair after space was sliced.

Whoosh!

The battle instantaneously begins!

The bull‑headed man let out an excited howl, immediately seized the terrifying Great Axe, and with a single stride the ground roared violently; in an instant he surged to Xiao Yu's front, and the fearsome axe was already raised, instantly turning into a streak of earth‑colored axe blade.

Where the axe blade passed, space formed scar‑like patterns.

Yuan Ren stood on the rock, and the black bamboo pole behind him shot out directly; at the same time the entire pole seemed to stretch violently in an instant, consisting of nine segments, each segment instantly shedding, with countless threads interlacing.

It formed a weapon resembling a nine‑section whip! This is the third‑grade Mind‑force Weapon — the Arc Snake.

A black shield simultaneously materialized before her, its rim adorned with serpentine patterns.

Boom!

No matter how powerful She Nv's mind‑force was, it still could not disturb Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge, let alone harm his Soul Crystal.

Xiao Yu briefly recovered his expenditure, then continued rushing toward the mountain's mid‑section.

A strand of black light traced a mysterious curve through the void, sliding along a rift in space‑time, leaving a spatial fissure.

Xiao Yu understood that these gatekeepers must be intelligences created by the Virtual Universe System; after countless ages, these intelligences had become 'intelligent life', possessing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Congratulations on passing the Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan."

At the same time, the virtualized mind‑force She Nv wielded brushed against the layers of blue Illusory Shadows in Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge; the outermost shadow quivered, then shattered, while the mind‑force was exhausted by the second layer's space‑time ripples; after the mind‑force vanished, the outer blue shadow quickly reconstituted.

…

Yuan Ren was extremely angry, yet in the blink of an eye the bull‑headed man and She Nv were slain, and the black streak of light, as fast as lightning, returned before Xiao Yu.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After dozens of rounds of combat, Xiao Yu had become familiar with the duo's coordination, and then he killed the bull‑headed man and the Yuan Ren.

"Psshh!" Xiao Yu, like an Instant Teleport, zipped through space to the bull‑headed man's rear; the Void Blade pierced from behind his head, exited through his forehead, and red‑white liquid streamed from the wound.

The Void Blade in Xiao Yu's hand burst with dazzling light; the entire blade vanished into the void, leaving only the hilt, which he held in his right hand.

All three gatekeepers smiled at Xiao Yu; She Nv could not help but ask, "Xiao Yu, why does the illusion I cast remain ineffective against you?"

From the foot of the Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan upward, the gatekeepers at the foot and mid‑section were all successfully slain by Xiao Yu.

Encircling Xiao Yu's Soul Crystal, a dense network of 100 Core nodes instantly generated layers of blue Illusory Shadows, each layer comprising 10,081 facets, shimmering with space‑time ripples.

"Passed." Xiao Yu took a deep breath.

Without She Nv, the trio's power instantly waned.

She Nv's body split in two, blood flooding the ground.

The summit gate is the final and hardest gate; the strength gap is at least a hundredfold compared to the foot of the mountain.

In an instant, the bull‑headed man, the lean Yuan Ren, and She Nv all struck simultaneously; in terms of speed, the mind‑force was by far the fastest, penetrating directly into Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge.

Within the Sea of Knowledge.

The Void Blade in Xiao Yu's hand radiated blade‑qi, forming a ten‑meter-long black‑glowing blade that rippled with space‑time, warping the surrounding space.

From afar, the Yuan Ren's complexion turned ashen, then his face changed dramatically: "This is the Void Blade's God‑Slash!" He hurriedly sent a voice message: "She Nv, attack his soul quickly, scatter his consciousness."

"The three of us were created and have gone millions of epochs without being challenged." The Yuan Ren also stood up.

In an instant, the bull‑headed man, the lean Yuan Ren, and She Nv all struck; the first to reach was still She Nv's mind‑force attack.

Having already cleared two trials, Xiao Yu naturally defended himself; the trio's coordination was tighter than before, their strength greater, and the mind‑force attacks even more formidable.

"Refreshing!" the bull‑headed man shouted, then looked at Xiao Yu, "Your Highness, the three guys at the mid‑section and summit are far beyond our level."

A hazy illusion instantly darted out, as fast as lightning, arriving before the bull‑headed man's Great Axe and right before Xiao Yu. It resembled a poisonous snake lunging at Xiao Yu.

"No need for you to say it!" She Nv's face turned cold, and the invisible mind‑force struck Xiao Yu again.

Clouds and mist swirled atop the summit; the bull‑headed man lay there snoring like thunder, the Yuan Ren drank merrily from a large barrel of fine wine, and in a distant pool the She Nv frolicked in the water. When Xiao Yu descended onto the summit, the three gatekeepers simultaneously opened their eyes and stared, scrutinizing him.

Xiao Yu's form shifted, speed soaring to the limit, instantly spawning ten thousand illusory clones; each blade strike was bizarrely precise, targeting the Great Axe and the Arc Snake.

After dozens of rounds of combat.

"With that little mind‑force you still try to ambush like the others!" Xiao Yu, in a clear instant, dodged the lean Yuan Ren's mind‑force weapon, slashed the bull‑headed man's Great Axe apart, then instantly appeared before She Nv; the Void Blade radiated dazzling light, forming a ten‑meter giant blade that cleaved heaven and earth.

Psshh!

Xiao Yu again unleashed the Void Blade's fourth‑grade God‑Slash, a single strike killing the Yuan Ren.

In the Virtual Universe, Thunder Island was bustling; the entire company's management learned the news — Xiao Yu had cleared the Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan!

And it was a Universe‑level Tong Tian Shan!

"After so long, our human race finally has a junior who has cleared the Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan, and it's a 'Universe‑level' Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan." A tall, slender man with compound eyes, clad in an eerie emerald battle armor, sat nearby, delicately sipping a cup of fruit wine while murmuring in admiration.

Simultaneously, She Nv's eyes flashed violet, and invisible mind‑force struck Xiao Yu directly.

The corpses on the ground vanished, and three figures reappeared.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yu."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiao Yu flew continuously upward along the towering, cloud‑piercing Yuan Shi Tong Tian Shan, soaring for a long time before finally reaching the summit.

Psshh!

"How many years have passed?" She Nv sighed from the pool, slowly swimming out.

At the same moment.

"Xiao Yu." She Nv looked at Xiao Yu, her voice soft and soothing, "I would love to chat more with you, outsider, but we must fulfill our duties and give it our all."

The mind‑force impact surged in, dispersed by space‑time ripples; less than a tenth struck the blue Illusory Shadow, which remained as steady as a mountain, not a tremor.

"Your mind‑force isn't strong enough!" Xiao Yu smiled.

Boom! The black shield before She Nv shattered, and the Void Blade cleaved her in two, leaving a spatial fissure at the spot.

She Nv's face changed dramatically, and she roared through a voice transmission: "You still haven't rushed to help block it!!!"

"This Xiao Yu truly lives up to being favored by the Chaos City Lord; his potential is indeed extraordinary," the bald man in a silver robe bearing a green Secret Pattern smiled, glancing at the other person.

The Yuan Ren manipulated the black arc of light and hurled it toward Xiao Yu.

Shrouded in mist, the three blurred corpses' wounds instantly vanished and returned to normal, and at the same time the Ox-Headed Man, She Nv, and Yuan Ren all rose to their feet.

Xiao Yu charged at She Nv, reaching her in an instant.

The Ox-Headed Man stared wide‑eyed, then fell down in disbelief.

The three currently chatting are all Universe Sage Level strongmen, belonging to the management tier within the Virtual Universe Company.
