Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 103 Enlightenment for Ten Thousand Years in Chaos City

The fifteenth level of the Sky Bridge is a huge watershed.

Once you pass this level, you've entered the realm of immortality and being granted a noble title.

Ye Xingkong stood silently, a thick layer of mist spreading across the open space in front of him.

Only by defeating the opponent will the gray mist dissipate, allowing one to enter the next level of the Sky Bridge.

call!
A cloud of black liquid flew out from the clouds and eventually transformed into a mysterious figure wearing a black mask.

The mysterious man wore metal combat boots and held a silver battle sword in his hand, his cold eyes fixed on Ye Xingkong.

"It's extremely rare to get here on the first attempt at crossing the Tongtian Bridge, even after millions of years."

"However, the fifteenth level of the Sky Bridge is different; it's more difficult than all fourteen levels combined. You don't have much of a chance."

"Go back and train properly for a while before coming back."

The mysterious man's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"Enough talk, let's begin!"

Ye Xingkong remained remarkably calm.

"it is good."

The mysterious man nodded, and the battle blade in his hand suddenly transformed into a dazzling silver streak.

The blade's light was exquisite, like a vast and mighty river cutting through space, leaving behind dark spatial cracks that occasionally appeared in its wake.

"This cut"

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful.

The two supreme laws of space and time are perfectly combined in this strike, even causing the flow of time around the blade to become disordered, giving people an eerie feeling.

One second, the blade seemed to be right in front of you, but the next second, it was hundreds of meters away again.

"As expected of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, it cultivates both time and space; its power is truly formidable!"

Ye Xingkong sighed.

brush!
With a single step, a series of Ye Xingkong figures appeared in the path he followed.

In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of Ye Xingkong appeared in the space.

This is not a simple spatial illusion, but a special illusion formed by the combination of the laws of space and the laws of time.

You thought you hit Ye Xingkong in the present moment, but you actually hit Ye Xingkong from the previous second.

brush!
The mysterious figure's blade flashed, and a large number of illusory figures disappeared. Then, even more illusory figures appeared, but the real Ye Xingkong was completely unharmed.

"Good form!"

The mysterious man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but growl excitedly, "It seems you're worthy of making me use my strongest move. If you can withstand this attack, you will..."

Before he could finish speaking, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.

As the mysterious man looked down at his chest, a sharp blade suddenly pierced through him.

"Don't you know that villains die from talking too much?"

Thousands of illusory figures merged with each other in the space, until only Ye Xingkong remained, holding a battle sword with an indifferent expression.

"you"

The mysterious man's eyes gradually dimmed, and then he turned into a wisp of black liquid, disappearing into the world.

"You've made it through the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

Ye Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle just now seemed easy, but it wasn't difficult at all.

After all, the difference in their understanding of the laws was too great, and the outcome could be decided in the blink of an eye.

"Based on my understanding of the Chaos Monument of the Universe, I estimate I can get through the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, but the seventeenth level will be my limit."

"As for the eighteenth floor, there is no hope in the short term."

Of course, this was merely Ye Xingkong's insight into the "Cosmic Chaos Monument".

If we include other methods, such as the top-level secret technique "Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Blade Technique" created primarily based on the Law of Metal and secondarily based on the Law of Space.

With the help of the "Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique", Ye Xingkong was confident that he could reach the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

But this is not an understanding of the Chaos Monument of the Universe, and even if one could pass through it, it wouldn't be of much significance.

"My understanding of the Chaos Monument of the Universe is still too limited."

"We have indeed gained a lot in just three years, but we need more time to reflect and mature."

"Perhaps, I should focus on comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe and create my own secret techniques for the 'Cosmic' school."

Ye Xingkong's comprehension has now reached the level of a universe master. Logically speaking, creating an ultimate secret technique should be easy for him; it's just a matter of time.

He created the "Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Blade Technique" by referring to only a few top-level secret sword techniques.

Now that Ye Xingkong has the "Cosmic Chaos Stele" to refer to, creating his own secret techniques is naturally much simpler, and the power of his self-created secret techniques is also much stronger.

After all, compared to the entire "universe" school of martial arts, these are merely a few top-tier secret techniques, like fireflies vying for the moon's brilliance.

brush!
A moment later, Ye Xingkong flew out from the Cosmic Sky Bridge.

He didn't attempt to reach the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, not because he lacked the ability, but because he saw no need for it.

Ye Xingkong is currently operating under a false identity right under the noses of the human race's higher-ups. If he becomes too conspicuous, he might be exposed one day.

Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile if possible.

On the fifteenth floor of the Sky Bridge, having just entered the Immortal Realm, it still fits the "Silver Serpent" persona very well.

Anyway, Ye Xingkong still has fifteen more opportunities to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele, which is enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

Tongtianqiao Plane Island.

Seeing that the female immortal king was still standing in the square, Ye Xingkong landed beside the two of them with a smile on his face.

"I am Silver Serpent, greetings to King Sword Autumn."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

Although it was his first time meeting this powerful woman, he quickly figured out her identity by checking through the virtual universe.

Sword Autumn King, the immortal king of the universe's number one bank.

It is very powerful, and now it has the strength of a peak king.

"Silver Serpent, are you a weapon refiner?"

Jianqiu Wang looked at Ye Xingkong, a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Weapon refiners are a very rare profession in the universe.

Moreover, Ye Xingkong is a weapon refiner capable of forging immortal divine weapons at the King level, making him an extremely rare figure among the human race.

"I was originally just an ordinary immortal, but I was recruited by the Virtual Universe Company because I had a little talent in the art of weapon crafting."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"I see."

King Jianqiu nodded.

It is indeed very rare in history for someone to cultivate to immortality before joining the Virtual Universe Company and immediately become a high-ranking member.

"This is my virtual universe ID: xxxxxx"

There aren't many powerful individuals in Chaos City who follow the 'Cosmic' style. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to me.

Sword Autumn King said calmly.

Even though she is a peerless immortal with an extremely proud heart, it is still very necessary to get to know a master weapon refiner.

For a powerful individual, while understanding the laws is fundamental, it is only one of many aspects.

Weapons, secret techniques, treasures, and so on are all indispensable.

······
Ye Xingkong bid farewell to King Jianqiu and returned to Yuanliu Palace. "I should try to keep this identity as low-key as possible in the future."

"It's best to appear aloof to outsiders, dislike socializing, and only focus on asceticism."

"Of course, basic communication is still necessary, otherwise it is easy to arouse suspicion."

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, his face showing deep thought.

There's no way around it; the more friends you have, the wider your social circle, and the higher your status, the greater the risk of your true identity being exposed.

He currently only wants to cultivate quietly, ideally all the way to the Lord of the Universe, until he is invincible in the Universe Sea. This is the safest way.

"Besides, I'm not the only one among the human race who wears a disguise!"

Ye Xingkong had not forgotten that the creator of the "Ten Thousand Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique," "Tip," was a true master of the universe, but usually only displayed the strength of a cosmic overlord.

"My most important thing right now is to improve my strength as much as possible."

"After all, this is a world where great power resides within oneself; everything else takes a backseat!"

Although he was a cheater, Ye Xingkong was very clear-headed.

All that showing off and getting slapped in the face is just fiction. In a high-level martial arts world like Swallowing the Stars, where the danger level is off the charts, the safest way to survive is to grow into a strong person as quickly as possible.

As long as I am invincible in the world, no one can hurt me!
"Therefore, there are three major goals going forward."

"First, try your best to comprehend the laws, and ideally reach the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven."

"Second, I created my own ultimate secret technique."

"Third, create a second clone."

"I will not step out of Chaos City until any of these three goals are achieved."

Ye Xingkong's Dao heart was very firm.

He arrived at the highest point of Yuanliu Palace, atop a majestic mountain peak, sat down on the ground, looked up at the sky, and began to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe with rapt attention.

······
When one is immersed in cultivation, one cannot feel the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, it has been six years since Ye Xingkong came to Chaos City.

That year, the "Primordial Body Refining Method" finally broke through to the second level and began to deduce the second clone.

However, deducing the genes of life is an incredibly massive undertaking.

Moreover, Ye Xingkong adopted the most rudimentary "exhaustive search method," which would take an unknown number of years.

Fortunately, Ye Xingkong had plenty of patience.

Moreover, the unique feature of the "Primordial Body Refining Method" is that each clone is relatively independent.

Even if Ye Xingkong's main body and his five elemental clones break through to immortality in the future, he will still be able to create new clones.

······
It has been three hundred years since I arrived in Chaos City, which is a thousand years in the outside world.

That year, Ye Xingkong's comprehension of the laws finally reached the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, comparable to the title of Immortal King.

Of course, although he made a breakthrough in his understanding of the laws, he did not attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge.

To outsiders, "Silver Serpent" remains the same master craftsman who roamed the fifteenth floor of the Sky Bridge.

However, while the Five Elements Avatars kept a low profile, the human main body made no attempt to hide it and directly broke through to the Realm Lord level.

That same year, Ye Xingkong comprehended the 108 essential aspects of the laws of time.

From then on, the two supreme laws, the laws of space and time, held no secrets from him.

······
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have passed, which is ten thousand years in the outside world.

Despite the changing times outside, this ancient and unchanging Chaos City seems to have remained unchanged.

In the Yuanliu Palace.

An elegant pavilion, where several imposing figures sat before a stone table.

"Tsk tsk, Silver Serpent, it's really not easy to get a taste of your wine!"

A man dressed in purple battle armor and always carrying a golden sword laughed loudly.

"Everyone knows Silver Snake is a famous tycoon. We have to drink this wine, and we have to drink it all!"

A tall man with two bull horns, a face covered in black scales, and eyes that looked like two deep black holes said with a smile.

"Gu Kong Wang and Lie Shen Wang, you two only know how to take advantage of the Silver Serpent."

"Look at King Jianqiu, he doesn't care about such petty gains!"

A woman shrouded in black robes, with a voice as melodious as a nightingale, said with a smile.

Ye Xingkong remained silent, only smiling as he looked at the four immortal kings before him.

King Gu Kong, King Lie Shen, King Jian Qiu, and King You Ming are all super strong individuals in the "Universe" school of Chaos City.

Over the years, Ye Xingkong has adhered to the principle of "keeping a low profile" and developing his career in a low-key manner. However, as a human being, he is bound to have a social circle.

Constantly hiding from others only makes you more likely to arouse suspicion.

These four immortal kings are all good friends of Ye Xingkong over the years, and they occasionally get together to drink and chat.

"By the way, King Gu Kong, the pseudo-treasure 'Extreme Heaven Sword' that you asked me to repair last time is here. Take it!"

Ye Xingkong took a sip of fine wine and casually tossed out a dark red longsword.

This sword is five meters long and one meter wide, with extremely complex patterns on its surface, subtly evoking powerful fluctuations from the fundamental laws of the universe.

Given Ye Xingkong's skill in weapon crafting, it's hard to say how successful he would be in crafting a pseudo-heavy treasure; the success rate would probably be only about 50%. However, repairing it shouldn't be a problem.

"Haha, it's finally fixed!"

"Without this Heavenly Sword, my strength would be weakened by three points."

"With this sword in hand, I am confident that I can venture into the 'Gou Li Secret Realm' again."

King Gu Kong's face lit up with ecstasy as he held the Heavenly Sword and looked it over from head to toe.

"Tsk tsk, Silver Snake, your skills are really good. You can't even tell there are any signs of repair."

Gu Kongwang laughed loudly.

"Don't get too excited yet, settle the money first."

"Since we're friends, I won't charge you for the refining process. Just give me the cost of the materials."

Ye Xingkong smiled and held up five fingers, saying, "Fifty billion Hunyuan."

"Damn it! This is a robbery!"

Gu Kongwang yelled, but still paid the money with a pained expression.

The other princes, upon seeing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They all knew that a mere fifty billion Hunyuan was nothing to a powerhouse of Gu Kongwang's level.

"The Gouli Secret Realm is located in the distant territory of the Prison Clan, and it is said to produce many rare and precious natural treasures."

“King Gu Kong, you obtained a ‘Heartless Stone’ in the Gouli Secret Realm last time, earning at least 80 billion Hunyuan. You still think 5 billion Hunyuan is too much?”

"King Gu Kong, you're so stingy!"

Lie Shenwang took a sip of wine and joked with a smile.

"I risked my life for those 80 billion Hunyuan!"

"You have no idea how dangerous the Gouli Secret Realm is. In some places, even a Universe Venerable can perish."

"Not to mention that you might encounter powerful individuals from other races vying for treasure, and a battle could break out at any moment."

Gu Kongwang glared and defended himself.

Although the other immortal kings laughed at King Gu Kong, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Venturing into the Gouli Secret Realm was indeed very dangerous; otherwise, even the pseudo-treasure wouldn't have been damaged, which shows how intense the battle was.
