Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 118 Treasure Components, Enlightenment in Chaos City

Inside the main control room of the Starship.

"Finally... have we reached the true core of Cold Flame Lake?"

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and a surge of excitement flashed through his heart.

According to the Eye of the Void's detection, a magnificent glass palace was floating about a billion kilometers away from him.

"The very center of Cold Flame Lake is actually a palace?"

Ye Xingkong was very surprised.

This is completely different from the rumors circulating outside!

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. Most of those who venture into Cold Flame Lake are Marquis Immortals, and only a very few are King Immortals.

Ordinary Marquis-level Immortals cannot even break through the outermost white flames of the core area, so naturally they would have no idea what the innermost part of Cold Flame Lake looks like.

Whoosh!
The Starship transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the crystal palace, which was comparable in size to a star.

As he got closer, Ye Xingkong gradually saw the entire palace clearly.

The ancient palace has nine floors, each with exquisite and lifelike carvings of mythical beasts.

There are nine mythical beasts in total, each formed from a unique flame.

Cyan, purple, black, white, blue, red, yellow, orange, gold.

Nine-story palace, nine kinds of flames, nine mythical beasts.

Ye Xingkong silently gazed at the strange beasts, his brows slightly furrowed.

These strange beasts were not any of the races he had ever seen in the primordial universe.

"Ok?"

Ye Xingkong's expression suddenly changed.

As the Starship slowly approached the Crystal Palace, a nine-colored vortex suddenly appeared at the very bottom of the palace.

The vortex was a million kilometers in diameter, and its unparalleled suction instantly swallowed the Starship.

"How many years has it been... another trial participant has arrived?"

In the dimly lit hall, the invisible life form drifted about, its tone devoid of any emotion.

brush!
Ye Xingkong appeared in an ancient hall.

"Where is this place?"

"The ruins left behind by the Lord of Fire?"

Ye Xingkong observed his surroundings with a serious expression.

As for the Starship and the Phantom Spirit, they had long been stored in his World Ring.

"Humanity!"

"Welcome to... the final trial ground of the Lord of Fire!"

At that moment, a cold voice echoed in the hall.

Ye Xingkong frowned. He looked around and could only hear sounds, but he didn't see any life.

However, this did not pose a problem for him.

"Eye of the Void, open!"

Ye Xingkong sneered inwardly.

brush!
Within the detection range of the Eye of the Void, all that is hidden is an illusion!

Then, Ye Xingkong's face showed utter shock.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things?!"

"This...this is actually a supreme treasure of the peak domain level?"

Ye Xingkong's heart pounded uncontrollably, and he was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

A treasure at the pinnacle of realms!
It should be noted that the value of treasures of the domain, soul, and palace categories is a level higher than that of other treasures of the same level.

The supreme treasures of the pinnacle realm can be said to be the most precious treasures below the supreme treasures.

It can be said that the entire human race cannot find many supreme treasures of the highest level.

"Could it be that I'm on a lucky streak today?"

Ye Xingkong was overjoyed, but he gradually calmed down the next moment.

"A supreme treasure of the highest realm level, even a great being like the Chaos City Lord would be tempted by it!"

"A treasure of this caliber is simply left untouched on the battlefield outside the realm, and no one comes to claim it. Who would believe that?"

"There must be other secrets that no one knows!"

Ye Xingkong pondered silently in his heart.

"Hello, may I ask where this place is? Who are you? Why am I here?"

Ye Xingkong remained calm and casually shouted into the void.

"You're human, how could you not know?"

"Haha! It seems... your status among the human race is not high, otherwise you wouldn't have been so foolish as to come here."

"Huh, you're actually a Realm Lord? It's impressive that a Realm Lord could get this far!"

The unknown life form said with great surprise.

"You'd be even more surprised if you knew I just killed a peak-level King."

Ye Xingkong thought to himself.

"I told you, this is the trial ground left behind by the Lord of Fire!"

"Little one, as long as you can pass the trial, you can obtain all the legacy of the Lord of Fire!"

"As for my name, you can call me 'Nine Radiances'!"

The voice of the unknown life form spoke mockingly.

"'Nine Luminaries'?"

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful. Through the "Eye of the Void," he naturally understood what the "Nine Luminaries" were.

"Strictly speaking, 'Nine Luminaries' is not a life form, but an ancient artifact spirit."

"However... ordinary treasures are not enough to give birth to a spirit, and even ordinary supreme treasures are not qualified."

"Only extremely powerful treasures, such as the Wu-Slaying Wings and the Star Tower, can give birth to artifact spirits."

Ye Xingkong frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.

As a weapon refiner, although he had never owned a supreme treasure, he still had basic common sense.

While supreme treasures of the pinnacle realm are precious, they are not so rare as to give birth to a spirit.

"Perhaps, this treasure is just a little special."

Ye Xingkong shook his head; that was the only explanation he could offer.

After all, the universe is vast and full of wonders, and the Lord of Fire is a born beast god, one of the earliest universe lords to be born in the primordial universe.

In the early days of the primordial universe, many great opportunities were created, and perhaps many of them were obtained by the Lord of Fire.

"Lord Jiuyao, what are the contents of the trial?"

Ye Xingkong decided to play it safe for now and asked calmly.

What are the contents of the trial?

"I do not know either……"

Jiuyao's voice carried a hint of confusion before he said calmly, "I am merely a spirit responsible for guiding those undergoing trials. As for the content of the trials set by my master... I have no authority to view it."

"However, there is one thing I can tell you."

Jiuyao said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Master's trial is a trial of life and death. If you fail, you will perish. For countless eons, no one has ever successfully passed the trial. Of course, judging from your appearance, you should be a genius of the human race, so even if you perish, you will be resurrected. However... the price of resurrection is probably something you cannot afford."

"A life-or-death trial? I'm so scared!"

Ye Xingkong remained completely unmoved; in fact, he even felt a little amused.

Just kidding, I'm a cheater!
"Alright then, in that case, quickly arrange a trial for me."

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Ye Xingkong said casually.

"as you wish!"

"However... the human world lord in your world ring cannot participate in the trial with you."

Jiuyao said in a cold voice.

"Phantom Spirit..."

Ye Xingkong was taken aback. He hadn't expected the artifact spirit to be so powerful, capable of even detecting the life hidden within his world ring.

"Don't worry, I will teleport her directly outside of Cold Flame Lake." Jiu Yao's voice rang out again.

As the spirit of "Nine Luminaries Aurora Lake", it can be said that the entire Cold Flame Lake area is under its control, and teleporting a person is very simple.

"That's the only way."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he released the Phantom Spirit from the World Ring and handed her the Starship.

With the Starship in hand, Phantom Spirit's strength is more than enough to safely return to the barracks base.

"Ye Xingkong, be careful in everything you do, and make sure you come back alive."

Huanling's eyes reddened as she spoke with reluctance.

Although she didn't know why she suddenly appeared in a palace, given the danger level of the core area of ​​Cold Flame Lake, what Ye Xingkong was about to do must have been extremely dangerous.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to take her to a safe area first.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Ye Xingkong waved his hand and smiled casually.

"it is good!"

"I'll wait for you to come back."

A smile appeared on Huanling's pretty face.

Perhaps it was Ye Xingkong's incredibly confident demeanor that calmed her down a bit.

brush~
A spatial fluctuation flashed by.

Huanling disappeared into the ancient hall, leaving Ye Xingkong alone, silently gazing at the mottled murals in the palace.

"Let the trial begin!"

Ye Xingkong took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

Rumble~
A loud bang was heard, and then at the end of the ancient hall, a passage suddenly opened up in the wall.

The passage is about two meters wide and three meters high, and you can't see the end of it.

“Walk in along this passage.”

"The trial grounds lie at the very end!"

"Remember, this is a trial of life and death. You are still a realm lord, and your life is finite. If you feel there is no hope, you might as well self-destruct sooner rather than later!"

Jiuyao's calm voice rang out again.

Ye Xingkong nodded and calmly walked towards the deep, dark passage.

······
at the same time.

In the primordial universe, in the city of chaos.

"Ha ha!"

"Silver Serpent, congratulations on passing the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven!"

"Silver Serpent, let's go for a drink sometime!"

Ye Xingkong greeted his friends with a smile and then returned to his residence.

"After cultivating for several hundred years, she has already passed the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. This rate of strength improvement is a bit too fast for 'Silver Serpent'!"

"However, since I've used up all my opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, I have no choice but to try my way through the Heavenly Bridge."

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, shaking his head helplessly.

The flow of time is different in the initial universe and the primordial universe. While I have been wandering in the outer battlefield for over a thousand years, only a few hundred years have actually passed in Chaos City.

[Space Law: 56000/100000]

[Time Rule: 15000/100000]

Ye Xingkong glanced at the proficiency panel.

"Without being able to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Monument, my speed of understanding spatial laws has decreased significantly!"

"Ah! If only I had a Chaos Stele, so I could study it anytime, anywhere."

Ye Xingkong thought greedily.

In fact, his cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds compared to that of ordinary experts.

However, who would complain that their cultivation isn't fast enough?
"As for myself, it seems I've run into some trouble."

"The Lord of Fire's trial... that's interesting!"

A slight smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's lips.

The Lord of Fire, as a born beast god, lives a carefree and unrestrained life, and is indeed a very interesting and powerful being.

When he set up the trial, he probably didn't expect anyone to pass it.

"An immortal god must create his own ultimate-level secret technique, and his will must also reach the level of the master of the universe."

"This requirement... if I didn't cheat, I'm afraid no one could meet it."

"What's even more outrageous is that even though I'm a realm lord, they're testing me according to the requirements of an immortal god!"

"Was it because the Lord of Fire never expected that a Realm Lord would participate in the trial?"

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but mutter curses.

However, he wasn't particularly angry inside.

After all, creating an ultimate-level secret technique was not a difficult task for him; it was just a matter of time.

"The Nine Luminaries Aurora Lake is quite interesting; it seems to be a component of a powerful treasure."

"Otherwise, it's unlikely that a supreme treasure of the pinnacle realm would give birth to a spirit."

A glint of light flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

Many powerful treasures in the universe actually have mysterious origins.

Apart from a portion that was crafted by master craftsmen, many other treasures "floated" over from the cosmic sea.

"The Nine Luminaries Aurora Lake is probably a treasure that drifted over from the Origin Continent."

"Otherwise, with the skills of the original universe's weapon refiners, apart from the Mountain-Sitting Guest, no one could refine a treasure of this level."

Ye Xingkong sighed softly.

Although he was hailed as a master craftsman by many immortal kings, he was only capable of crafting ordinary treasures.

Even ordinary treasures can only be theoretically crafted; in reality, only a few pseudo-treasures have been crafted.

As for refining supreme treasures, that's still too far off for him.

Ye Xingkong slowly rose, transformed into a streak of light, and arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion is vast and expansive, with ancient buildings covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

"Lord Kandri, I have come to study the Cosmic Chaos Monument."

Ye Xingkong bowed slightly and said with a smile.

What you see is a deep, secluded corridor, 60 meters wide and 120 meters high, with tall, bronze-colored doors on both sides.

Each bronze door bears ancient inscriptions: 'Mother Ancestor', 'Giant Axe', 'Dragon's Journey', 'Universe'...

What's even more peculiar is that in front of each bronze door stands an identical, kind-looking old man.

"It's a silver snake!"

"Didn't you just use up your last chance for enlightenment more than three hundred years ago?"

"Let me check, it turns out that passing through the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge gives me another chance!"

"Not bad, very good."

"Kandri said with a chuckle."

Ye Xingkong had cultivated in Chaos City for thousands of years and often came to study the Chaos Stele, so he was naturally very familiar with the guardian of the Chaos Stele.

Kandri is an extremely ancient cosmic being among the human race.

In terms of antiquity, it is no less ancient than the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

In terms of strength, Kandri is slightly stronger than the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

The main reason is that the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom has used most of his treasures to pay off debts over the years, which has made him much inferior to other strong individuals of the same level in terms of "treasures".

"The Cosmic Chaos Stele is currently uncomprehended, let's go inside quickly."

"The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is extremely rare, so we must make the most of it."

Kandri spoke earnestly, his words perhaps containing some hints.

"Thank you, Lord Kandri."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly and transformed into a stream of light, flying into the ancient secret chamber.
