Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 120 The Prelude to Earth

Luo Feng has been detained.

Zhou Yang muttered to himself, his originally cheerful mood turning somber.

This is not only because of Luo Feng's detention, but also because of another big problem that this incident will cause.

"At this point in time, it should be close to the time when Hong was accepted as a disciple by the founder of the Giant Axe, and the secrets of Earth were discovered."

Yes, it's the secret of Earth!

The Earth was transformed by that mysterious mountain dweller billions of years ago.

Any life born on Earth, especially during the embryonic development process, is subject to the invisible influence of the entire Earth, and a certain aspect of its soul undergoes special evolution.

Humans, born and raised on Earth, are more likely to experience and improve their mental state.

People with a strong mindset naturally possess extremely strong willpower and ample patience!

This is one of the essential elements for becoming a strong person.

Moreover, a strong mental state makes it easier to resist illusion attacks and the like.

Therefore, for the entire human race, sending pregnant women with strong bloodlines to Earth means they will be gradually influenced by the Earth.

Once a child is born, as long as they are properly guided, nurtured, and trained, their temperament can easily be improved.

With an elevated state of mind, coupled with strong bloodline talent and abundant resources for nurturing, the number of powerful individuals born naturally increases significantly.

"Once the secrets of Earth are revealed, the entire human race will be in an uproar. The descendants of the families of the cosmic rulers will be tempted, and they will all want to send their bloodlines to Earth to be conceived and born."

Zhou Yang's brows gradually furrowed.

Even if I outperform Luo Feng at the same stage, and even if I become the disciple of a powerful Venerable-level expert, it will still be impossible to retain ownership of Earth.

After all, he was just a minor domain lord, and the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't go against the interests of the entire human race's leadership for his sake.

As for notifying Hong in advance not to venture into the Illusionary Sea?

The idea was barely born before it was instantly extinguished.

It was because of his amazing performance in the Illusionary Sea that Hong was accepted as a disciple by the founder of the Giant Axe, which was a precious opportunity in his cultivation career.

Cutting off someone's opportunities has serious karmic consequences.

"Since the outcome cannot be changed, let's try our best to gain as much benefit as possible!"

"But before that, I need to find a way to give myself more say!"

He silently took stock of himself.

After nearly a century of contemplation, his understanding of both the laws of space and the laws of wood has greatly improved, and he should now be at a level that surpasses the 15th floor of the Sky Bridge.

However, the bridge between the 15th and 16th floors is a major hurdle, and he is somewhat unsure which floor he has reached.

"However, after nearly a century of continuous cultivation of the 'Three Souls, Nine Refinements,' my soul strength has definitely surpassed that of most Realm Lords, and may even be comparable to that of ordinary Immortals!"

"Furthermore, I have successfully imprinted the twelfth main storyline diagram. With nearly a century of improvement, my life gene level has increased by almost 860 times!"

"A Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain would require roughly the combat power of the 16th level of the Tongtian Bridge."

Zhou Yang's gaze gradually hardened.

The virtual universe, the Tongtian Mountain dimension.

On this vast land, there are only three towering mountains, and on the waist of each mountain are characters that emit golden light—Heaven and Earth, Primordial Beginning, and Primordial Origin.

The original Tongtian Mountain is clearly the highest among them.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Yang, who appeared out of nowhere on this land, quickly flew towards the Primordial Tongtian Mountain.

Zhou Yang landed at the foot of the mountain, looked up at the towering, ancient Tongtian Mountain, and then looked down at the tall minotaur who was fast asleep on a large rock not far away.

Beside him stood a massive, dark purple axe, which at first glance looked as if countless drops of blood had congealed, sending chills down one's spine.

"Old Niu, call all your men over here, I'm going to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain!"

Zhou Yang shouted at the minotaur.

"what!"

The minotaur, who had been fast asleep, was instantly awakened.

His bull-like eyes darted around, and he quickly came to understand what Zhou Yang had said.

He shook his massive bull head and immediately roared behind him, "Old Ape, Snake Woman, come quick! Someone has broken into the Primal Tongtian Mountain!"

"Swish!" "Swish!"

Two streaks of light flew in from afar; they were the ape-man spirit master and the snake-woman illusionist.

"Your Highness Zhou Yang, you've only been a Domain Lord for 300 years and you're already venturing into Tongtian Mountain? Why don't you go back and cultivate some more before coming back?"

The alluring snake woman chuckled sweetly.

The initial universe was nearly a hundred years old, but three hundred years had passed in the outside world.

However, Zhou Yang smiled faintly after hearing his words.

"Snake Woman, your illusions are far from sufficient!"

As his low growl rang out, the scene before us was like a tattered curtain being torn apart in an instant.

As the layer of the image shattered, the real scene began to appear.

At this moment, the minotaur who had been standing at a distance talking to Zhou Yang was now standing right in front of him.

Before the minotaur, a black whip shadow was already almost landing on Zhou Yang's head.

The moment Zhou Yang said he wanted to challenge Tongtian Mountain, the snake woman had already begun to cast an illusion!

"snort!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, and the dark green, ancient-looking whip he was carrying instantly disintegrated into 10081 green blades.

Tens of thousands of green streams of light flowed and combined, instantly transforming into 108 lush green willow leaves.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

108 green willow leaves spun rapidly around Zhou Yang, quickly forming a green tornado.

"Clang clang clang clang~~~"

The ape-man psychic was struck repeatedly, and the long black whip was instantly flung away.

The minotaur, who was about to rush in front of him, was torn to shreds by the raging tornado before he could even utter a sound!

"Wow, how can you be so strong!"

The ape-man psychic and the snake-woman illusionist in the distance both exclaimed in surprise.

However, the next moment, the countless falling leaves transformed into a long dragon that swept in, instantly engulfing them completely.

A series of streaks of light flashed past and then combined behind Zhou Yang to form a dark green, ancient-looking whip.

He glanced lightly at the empty foot of the mountain, then flew upwards towards Tongtian Mountain without stopping.

……

Zhou Yang flew upwards from the foot of the original Tongtian Mountain and soon encountered the gatekeeper on the mountainside.

The guardians here are much stronger than those at the foot of the mountain; the three of them working together are roughly equivalent to the difficulty of the 15th level of the Sky Bridge.

In this challenge, Zhou Yang once again used the ninth level of the Origin Divine Weapon. This time, the 108 emerald green willow leaves transformed into a lifelike emerald green snake.

After the long snake easily pierced the ape-man psychic's head, he also easily dealt with the remaining minotaur and snake woman.

"Phew~~"

Zhou Yang flew upwards along the towering, pristine Tongtian Mountain for a long time before finally reaching the summit.

Clouds and mist swirled around the mountaintop, where the Minotaur lay snoring loudly, while the ape-man drank heartily from a large barrel of fine wine, and in the distance, a snake woman frolicked in a pool of water.

When Zhou Yang landed on the mountaintop, the three gatekeepers simultaneously opened their eyes and looked over, scrutinizing him.

The final and most difficult challenge is the one at the summit.

An amazing battle suddenly broke out!

Countless thin, green blades flew out from behind Zhou Yang and instantly combined to form an oval, emerald-green leaf the size of a palm.

A dazzling silver light flowed and spread across the leaves, giving them a dense pattern of silver veins.

"Buzz~"

The moment the silver patterns took shape, the lush green leaves instantly became ethereal, as if they no longer belonged to this time and space.

"Tch~"

The lush green leaves seemed to pierce through space and instantly appeared in front of the minotaur.

At the same time, Zhou Yang's pupils shone brightly, and a vast and boundless mental power surged out, transforming into a giant hammer that slammed heavily into the depths of the minotaur's sea of ​​consciousness!

For nearly a century, he has been constantly operating the "Three Souls and Nine Refinements," and his soul strength has reached an unbelievable level.

In addition, his soul attacks have become powerful enough to affect ordinary immortals after years of studying the various soul manuals left behind by Kandri!

As expected, the minotaur was momentarily stunned by his full-force attack.

That momentary lapse in concentration sealed the victory!

"puff!"

The ancient, verdant leaves pierced through the void, instantly penetrating his skull. The sharp energy scattered, easily shattering the life core within his body!

With the death of the most threatening of the three gatekeepers, the minotaur, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

Zhou Yang completely ignored the snake woman's illusion attack and easily killed the ape-man psychic.

Then a verdant leaf, seemingly vanishing into thin air, suddenly appeared and pierced directly through the snake woman's head.

The Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Domain Lord level expedition, has been successfully completed!

In his cultivation residence in Chaos City, Zhou Yang's consciousness returned.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Then let's break through to the World Lord level now."
