Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 116 The Power of a Single Blade: Slaying a King!

Cold Flame Lake, the heart of the region.

The Starship was moving very carefully.

The terrifying white flames emitted an intense heat that scorched the surrounding starry sky to ashes.

"Activate the 'Eye of the Void'!"

Ye Xingkong pondered for a moment, and suddenly the situation within a radius of one billion kilometers was laid bare before his eyes.

"There's nothing there, that shouldn't be! How could this be?"

Ye Xingkong frowned.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the secret of Cold Flame Lake could be found so easily, that treasure would probably have been taken away by someone over countless eons.

Should we... go further into Cold Flame Lake?

A hint of hesitation arose in Ye Xingkong's heart.

This core area is already extremely dangerous; even powerful kings wouldn't dare to venture in recklessly. If we continue deeper, the danger level will likely rise several notches.

Ye Xingkong himself didn't care; if he encountered a major danger, he could simply use the "teleportation" function to escape. But what about Huanling?

"Qing'er, continue flying forward."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment, then spoke with a firm expression.

With the Starship's defensive capabilities, it can hold out for a short time unless it encounters an attack from a "Cosmic Venerable" level.

"Yes!"

Qing'er nodded, her tone somewhat solemn.

……

The Starship was flying at a constant speed of sub-light in the core of Cold Flame Lake.

Here, there are almost no powerful figures; all the danger comes from Cold Flame Lake itself.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Xingkong had spent over two hundred years exploring this core area.

Two hundred years is but a blink of an eye for Ye Xingkong, who is devoted to cultivation.

The bad news is that there was still no gain, but the good news is that no danger was encountered.

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and glanced at the proficiency panel.

"If I count the time, I've been in the extraterrestrial battlefield for a thousand years now!"

Ye Xingkong stretched, a hint of emotion flashing across his face.

Of course, the Five Elements Avatars cultivating in Chaos City would be equivalent to only three hundred years having passed.

"Unfortunately, after two hundred years of exploration, nothing has been discovered."

Ye Xingkong shook his head, but he wasn't too disappointed.

He can wait a mere two hundred years.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Ye Xingkong's expression changed slightly.

Within the detection range of the Eye of the Void, a spaceship was seen flying aimlessly.

"Judging from the aura of the divine body, he is actually a high-level King-level Immortal."

"This appearance seems to be that of 'King Lu Tong,' one of the nine kings of Cold Flame Lake."

Ye Xingkong was slightly surprised.

But it makes sense, since most of the powerful individuals who come to explore Cold Flame Lake have some interest in that "domain-type treasure".

It's not really strange that some powerful individuals would venture into the core area to explore.

"Lu Tongwang belongs to the 'Mysterious Crystal Clan,' a rock-type life form, and is part of the demon race in the outer battlefield."

A lot of information quickly appeared in Ye Xingkong's mind.

The Xuanjing Clan is a very powerful race in the universe, with a very small population but extremely strong individual members. This makes the Xuanjing Clan a powerful race in the universe. They don't need to be subordinate to the top races, but some of the Xuanjing Clan's strongest members still join one of the four major factions to gain the qualification to enter the extraterrestrial battlefield and hone their skills.

Battle is the best way to hone the strong.

True super-strong individuals are not afraid of battle; they only constantly put pressure on themselves to hone and strengthen themselves.

"It seems they haven't noticed me yet?"

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

The small detector he purchased for 1200 billion Hunyuan was considered extremely high-end even in the entire extraterrestrial battlefield.

Let alone a mere high-level King-level expert, even at the limit of King-level, the detector might not be as good as Ye Xingkong.

After all, even a peak-level expert at the King level only has a net worth of around 100 billion Hunyuan.

A powerful person's wealth is mainly concentrated in weapons, armor, and spaceships; they are unwilling to spend too much money on purchasing probes.

"Perfect timing. After sitting still for two hundred years, it's time to stretch my muscles and bones."

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

After two hundred years of cultivation, he has many new ideas about "Endless Reincarnation".

"Phantom Spirit, we've encountered an enemy. Stay put on the spaceship."

Ye Xingkong pinched the latter's fair and smooth cheek, finding the texture quite pleasant.

"Enemy? Where are the enemies?"

Huanling looked around, a hint of confusion on her pretty face.

In this terrifying world of white flames, how could one possibly encounter an enemy?
Ye Xingkong smiled.

In terms of strength, the Phantom Spirit is actually not weak in the outer battlefield.

Her understanding of the laws alone reached the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, equivalent to the peak of the Immortal Lord title.

In terms of combat techniques, he has already created a top-tier soul attack technique called "Bewitching God"!
Regarding soul amplitude, he once obtained a comprehension spot as one of the "Nine Illusory Gods" of the Ancestral God Sect by chance, which increased his soul amplitude by 15 times.

The combination of these three elements gives the Phantom Spirit combat power comparable to that of an immortal who has been granted the title of Marquis.

The only shortcoming is that his psychic power foundation is too poor, only fifteen times that of a "peak Realm Lord".

After all, life gene level and soul amplitude secret techniques are still too rare and precious for immortal level powerhouses.

Even the geniuses at the core of the five major powers cannot easily access these things.

In the original story, Luo Feng obtained the opportunity to study the "Demon Sound God General" by chance, thereby increasing his soul's amplitude. The inheritance of the Demon Sound God General... is something that even for a King-level expert, it requires a huge price to obtain.

……

In a world of white flames.

A dark gold spaceship was flying slowly.

Inside the spaceship's main control room, Lu Tongwang sat comfortably on the sofa, with various rare metal materials from the universe laid out in front of him.

He picked up a fist-sized piece of emerald green metal, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and made a crunching sound.

"Mmm, this is delicious!"

Lu Tongwang showed an expression of enjoyment.

The Xuanjing Clan is a very powerful race in the universe. They are born with three times the genetic level of life, and their adult bodies are over 300 meters tall.

King Lu Tong's entire body seemed to be inlaid with a layer of dazzling blue diamonds, and he had a sharp crystal-like horn on his forehead, making him look like a crystal giant more than a hundred meters tall.

"I have been exploring this core area for over 100,000 years."

"Unfortunately, we have never found the legendary treasure land."

As Lu Tongwang enjoyed his meal, a glint of cunning flashed in his narrow eyes.

As an ancient being in the universe, he actually knows more about the origins of Cold Flame Lake than ordinary powerful beings outside the universe.

"Back then, many powerful forces in the primordial universe united to besiege the Lord of Fire, one of the eight innate beast gods. It is said that the battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed, and even some cosmic lords perished."

"The fall of each born beast god is like a 'whale fall.' Although this Cold Flame Lake was only caused by the aftershocks of that great battle, it also gave birth to a great opportunity."

While enjoying his meal, King Lu Tong pondered slowly.

This top-secret information was given to him by the great leader of the Xuanjing Clan, the Lord of Xuanjing.

However, the opportunity at Cold Flame Lake is more of a legend.

Throughout countless eons, many powerful beings have descended upon this place, and some have even spent countless years searching for it, yet they have still found nothing.

Boom~
Just as Lu Tongwang was slowly pondering, an extremely powerful light wave struck the spaceship's energy shield.

"Warning! Warning!"

"The spaceship has suffered a major blow. The energy shield is only 30% intact, and the spaceship is over 40% damaged!"

The spaceship's AI emitted a piercing alarm.

"Sneak attack! Enemy in sight!"

Lu Tongwang's expression changed, and he immediately put away the spaceship, his entire body hovering in the endless white flames.

If an ordinary King-level expert were exposed to the white flames without sufficient defensive measures, their divine body would likely be instantly burned and annihilated.

However, Lu Tongwang is a rock-type life form, naturally possessing strong defensive capabilities and is not afraid of fire at all, making it difficult for the white flames to pose a threat to him.

This is also his greatest advantage in daring to explore the core area for more than 100,000 years.

"Who! Who is it!"

"How dare you launch a sneak attack on the great Cabello!"

King Lu Tong roared angrily, his immortal divine power sweeping across the vast starry sky around him, but he found no enemy, and a chill ran through him.

"It seems... the enemy's detectors are very advanced; I can't find them at all."

Lu Tongwang thought to himself silently.

Although he was a rock life form, he was highly intelligent. Since the other party did not show himself, he simply left the battlefield.

brush!
Lu Tongwang transformed into a streak of light and flew swiftly in one direction.

brush!
Finally, a golden blade of light suddenly shone forth and struck Lu Tongwang's enormous divine body.

"It's you, King of the Golden Realm!"

Lu Tongwang's eyes lit up, and he roared loudly. At the same time, his huge fist gathered endless blue light, as if forming a blue star.

boom!
With a single punch, he actually managed to block Ye Xingkong's blade of light.

"Lu Tongwang!"

Ye Xingkong held his battle sword and shouted in a low voice.

He was completely enveloped in dark gold armor, and the white flames around him were weakened by one ten-thousandth, posing virtually no threat to him.

Lu Tongwang, a high-level immortal king, combined with the innate talent of the Xuanjing clan, has combat power comparable to the peak of the king level.

It can be said that Lu Tongwang was definitely the strongest opponent Ye Xingkong encountered when he came to Cold Flame Lake.

In Cold Flame Lake, there has always been a saying about the "Eight Great Kings", who are eight immortal kings who frequently roam the Cold Flame Lake area.

Before Ye Xingkong's reputation as the "King of the Golden Realm" spread, King Lu Tong was already known as the head of the eight great kings.

However, over the years, King Lu Tong has been exploring the core area of ​​Cold Flame Lake and rarely makes a move, resulting in little news about him from the outside world.

"Golden Realm King, how dare you provoke me! You are truly overestimating yourself!"

"Do you think that by bullying some nobles and immortals, you can become our enemy?!"

King Lu Tong laughed heartily. He was wearing a pair of very ancient blue crystal gauntlets, which were obviously also extremely powerful treasures.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
"A Hundred Fists!"

King Lu Tong roared.

Despite it being just a single punch, hundreds of enormous fist shadows appeared in the starry sky, hurtling towards Ye Xingkong from all directions.

"Heh, a mere trick!"

Ye Xingkong sneered.

The next moment, a huge blade shadow suddenly appeared amidst the endless sea of ​​fire.

The sword shadows stretched to the heavens and the earth; wherever the sword light swept past, it seemed as if time and space had stopped.

Countless fist shadows froze in place, except for one dazzling line that pierced through the starry sky tens of thousands of kilometers away and struck Lu Tongwang's body.

"This...this is the law of time and the law of space?"

"Impossible! Cultivating the laws of space alone is already so difficult, how could you possibly cultivate both at the same time!"

Lu Tongwang's expression changed drastically.

Under that earth-shattering slash, time and space seemed to be distorted, making it impossible to dodge.

"You are lucky to be the first enemy I encountered after creating 'Endless Reincarnation'."

Ye Xingkong smiled brightly.

He didn't hold back at all with that strike, almost unleashing his full fighting power.

The Laws of the Twentieth Floor of the Sky Bridge!
Ten thousand times the power of a Realm Lord!
The pseudo-treasure "Broken Abyss" activated the second layer of secret runes, "Slaying the Void"!
The ultimate combat technique, "Endless Reincarnation"!
With all four factors combined, the power of this strike was clearly terrifying, exceeding even the peak of the King-level realm!

"It actually annihilated fifteen percent of my divine body!"

King Lu Tong was filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that although he is a high-level King-level Immortal, he was born with three times the life gene level, plus a divine body that is 300 meters tall, so his strength is actually not much worse than that of a peak King.

However, this one strike still annihilated fifteen percent of his divine body.

In other words, if Ye Xingkong were to strike him four or five more times, he would perish.

Of course, Lu Tongwang did not know that Ye Xingkong was still a realm master and could not burn his divine body.

If he were to burn his divine body, he could probably be killed with just one or two strikes.

"Escape! We must escape!"

Without hesitation, King Lu Tong burned a portion of his divine body, transforming into a streak of light and flying away into the distance.

"Escape? Where do you think you're going to escape to?"

Ye Xingkong sighed.

boom!
Centered on Ye Xingkong, golden vines spread out, instantly covering the surrounding millions of kilometers of starry sky.

"Bloom, Star-Eating Grass!"

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

As the most adept at twining among plant life forms, the Thousand-vine Star-Eating Grass is something Lu Tongwang simply cannot escape!
