Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 124 Thirty Million Years, the Power of a Cosmic Overlord

The cosmic sea.

The vast primordial universe, like a white oval sphere of light, stood quietly in the endless void, surrounded by chaotic currents that resembled mist.

The endless, chaotic energy flowed irregularly, generating such intense pressure that the sheer force emanating from it was enough to obliterate an immortal god.

Not far from the primordial universe, in a secluded corner where no one goes, a small golden universe quietly floats.

If the primordial universe was a sun, then this golden miniature universe is only about the size of a speck of dust.

Inside the golden miniature universe.

There is a majestic mountain peak, towering into the sky and standing upright, like a pillar of the world.

The mountain peaks are shrouded in mist, and rows of magnificent palaces stretching endlessly, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, can be vaguely seen.

"The smallest universe of the strongest beings in the ordinary universe has a diameter of 100 million light-years."

“Mine is only 1000 light-years away, a difference of 100,000 times.”

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged at the highest point of this majestic mountain, his gaze seemingly able to reach any place in this miniature universe.

The structure of the Five Elements Split Universe is not like that of the Primal Universe, which gives birth to individual planets, galaxies, star fields, or cosmic secret realms.

At the very center of the entire universe is an immeasurably high and majestic mountain, which Ye Xingkong named "Tianyuan Mountain".

Beyond Tianyuan Mountain lies endless void, where countless white orbs of light float erratically.

Each white sphere of light represents a world.

The number of worlds is like the sands of the Ganges, countless. Perhaps every moment a world dies and every moment a new world is born.

Among these, the largest light spheres, numbering a constant three thousand, are known as the "Great Thousand Worlds"; the rest, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, are all called "Small Thousand Worlds".

Each of the great worlds is about the size of an ordinary star field.
As for the smaller worlds, their size varies, ranging from as large as thousands of galaxies to as small as the size of a galaxy.

Of course, the current golden miniature universe is still too small, with a diameter of only one hundred billion light-years.

If Ye Xingkong were to one day achieve a status above the God-King level, perhaps each of these three thousand great worlds could be comparable to the primordial universe.

At this moment.

The place where the Five Elements Avatars cultivate is on Tianyuan Mountain.

Within the entire golden mini-universe, only Tianyuan Mountain can be considered the true core, where one can enjoy ten thousand times the efficiency of comprehending the laws and a hundred thousand times the effect of time acceleration.

In other words, while the original body spent the past three hundred years in the primordial universe, the Five Elements clones had actually cultivated for three thousand epochs in the miniature universe.

"Thirty million years...that's a really long time!"

Ye Xingkong suddenly realized what was happening and let out a long breath.

For a being that has lived for less than 20,000 years, three thousand eras is an unimaginably long time.

Of course, the gains from these three thousand epochs of cultivation were also quite enormous.

The three most important secret techniques of Hongmeng have all entered the third level.

Ye Xingkong is already able to begin refining his third avatar, and his comprehension and will have reached the level of an Eternal True God.

However, the three great secret techniques of Hongmeng are extremely profound, and the progress becomes increasingly slow the further one cultivates them.

Ye Xingkong is currently only making slightly faster progress in the Primordial Body Refining Technique. As for the Primordial Soul Refining Technique and the Primordial Body Refining Technique, he can only improve them slowly through hard work.
When the "Golden Soul Technique" is cultivated to perfection, the soul's amplitude reaches 100 times.
The "Refining Treasures Manual" is the weapon-refining legacy of the Lord of Fire. When cultivated to the highest level, it can be used to refine top-tier treasures.

The Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique, Endless Reincarnation, and Starry Sky have all been deduced to the level of the ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe. In addition, he also created a set of soul attack techniques called "Annihilation"!
Creating one's own secret techniques takes the most time, and the vast majority of the three thousand eras were spent on deriving and creating them.

As for the rules...

The laws of space and time are progressing slowly. Ye Xingkong has also taken some time to fully comprehend the eight lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, light, and wind.

It can be said that in these 30 million years, Ye Xingkong has undergone a completely new qualitative change!

"Unfortunately, after the Five Elements Avatar broke through to immortality, the golden mini-universe transformed into a true mini-universe, and using the 100,000-fold time acceleration again would consume much more energy than before."

"The origin of the universe is precious. It's okay to consume some occasionally, but it becomes unbearable in the long run."

Ye Xingkong looked somewhat regretful.

If he could accelerate time without any cost, he would definitely survive until he became the strongest in the universe before emerging from seclusion.

"Ok?"

"Has Panwu's clone finally been fully formed?!"

Ye Xingkong's face suddenly lit up with joy, and his eyes brightened.

Whoosh!
A spatial fluctuation appeared above Tianyuan Mountain, followed by a towering figure as majestic as a mountain appearing in the void.

He was nine thousand kilometers tall, with bronze skin, an indestructible body, and a pair of chaotic eyes, and a pair of mysterious sun and moon marks on his forehead.

"Is this Panwu? He's so strong..."

Ye Xingkong sensed the power of this body and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Panwu's clone looks almost exactly like a human, has a genetic level 9000 times higher than that of an Earthling, and is 9,000 kilometers tall.

Even with his enormous divine body, Lu Tongwang, who was over 300 meters tall, looked like a tiny speck in front of Ye Xingkong.

Panwu's clone possesses three great innate secret techniques: Dharma Body, World-Destroying Red Lotus, and Self-Creating Chaos.

The true form of the Dharma body is born with a hundredfold increase in divine power and can freely enlarge or shrink its divine body without affecting its combat strength.

The Crimson Lotus of Annihilation is a combat technique of extremely terrifying power.

A unique type of innate secret technique that creates its own chaos.

Panwu's clone can temporarily transform into chaos, and in this temporary state, it will be easier to comprehend the laws of fusion.

"Strong, incredibly strong!"

Ye Xingkong was very excited.

Panwu, as a powerful and special life form, was born at the peak of the King-level Immortal realm. With a life gene level of nine thousand times, its basic strength was nine hundred million times that of a Realm Lord.

The genetic level of a typical cosmic overlord is estimated to be only around 60 to 70 times higher.

In other words, in terms of sheer power, Ye Xingkong is no less than a typical cosmic overlord.

"The foundation of a divine body is equivalent to that of a cosmic venerable being at a life gene level ninety times higher."

"I have created my own unique skills, and I also possess the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe;"

"My most treasured possessions are the Nine Luminaries Aurora Lake and the Nine Luminaries Glazed Palace, and my weapon is the top-tier treasure, the 'Shadowless Blade.'" "My martial avatar is now a true cosmic overlord in terms of combat power!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Cosmic Overlord...

Unbeknownst to me, my strength has already surpassed that of Teacher Qianwu?

brush!
Ye Xingkong took a step forward, and Panwu's clone and the Five Elements clone disappeared into the void at the same time.

······
Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, Ancient Origin Star.

In an elegant courtyard, three tall figures sat facing each other.

Ye Xingkong himself was dressed in green, his five elemental clones were dressed in white, and Panwu clone was dressed in black.

"Now that I have a second clone, my main body can finally relax and no longer have to do everything personally."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's face.

The Primordial Body Refining Technique is an extremely powerful and unparalleled secret technique for creating clones.

Its special features are twofold: first, it can deduce life; second, the individual clones are highly independent.

Two clones plus the original means three identities.

Especially after the Five Elements Avatar broke through to the Immortal realm, the Transformation Technique was further enhanced, making it a divine skill.

Nowadays, even the strongest being in the universe might not be able to see through the disguise of the Five Elements Avatar.

"Owner."

Two figures appeared outside the courtyard and spoke respectfully.

"come in."

Ye Xingkong said lightly.

"Yes."

The two men respectfully entered the courtyard and saw two ordinary-looking men sitting around the stone table. They didn't suspect anything and assumed they were Ye Xingkong's friends.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ye Xingkong looked at the two of them and said with a half-smile.

The two people who walked in, a man and a woman, both exuded the aura of immortal gods.

The woman wore a purple, form-fitting light armor set, with a seductive figure, snow-white skin, and a face like a peach blossom;

The man's face was quite ordinary; he was the kind of person you wouldn't recognize at first glance if he blended into a crowd.

"Master, the once-in-five-thousand-years genius battle is about to begin."

"This time... our Hongmeng Dojo has also trained several good disciples."

The woman spoke softly, her expression carrying a hint of allure, but perhaps due to her long-standing high position, she naturally exuded a noble air.

This woman was none other than Ji Ling'er.

When Ye Xingkong bought the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, he was too lazy to manage it himself, so he handed it over to Ji Ling'er to take care of.

Now, more than 10,000 years later, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield has developed rapidly, and Ji Ling'er deserves much credit for this.

Ye Xingkong was never stingy with rewards for his loyal subordinates.

In just over ten thousand years, Ji Ling'er has cultivated from the ninth level of the Domain Lord to the current Immortal realm.

As for the other male immortal, he was Silver Serpent from the Savage Universe Kingdom.

This immortal was quite tragic. He was originally a god, but he was inexplicably beaten into a deep sleep by Ye Xingkong. When he woke up, he was even more surprised to find that he no longer had an identity.

A master craftsman at the King level?
Am I really that amazing? How come I didn't know it myself?
original……

When Silver Serpent joined forces with another Immortal Golden Eagle to attack Ye Xingkong, they were already courting death.

However, since Ye Xingkong had taken over someone else's identity, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to kill them to silence them.

I'm a decent person!

So, they spared Silver Snake's life, allowing him to change his appearance and become a henchman under Ye Xingkong.

Now, his name is "Silver General".

As for regaining the identity of "Silver Snake," forget about it for the rest of your life.

I doubt he would dare to ask Yin to go back to "being himself" now.

"Hongmeng Daoist Temple..."

Ye Xingkong suddenly realized that he had such a force under his command.

The creation of the Hongmeng Dojo was not a random act, but rather carried a profound meaning.

After all, he hadn't discovered Earth yet, so he had to focus on cultivating the geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

According to Ye Xingkong, it's almost impossible for a true genius to emerge from such a remote and rural area as the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

But if a peerless genius does emerge, it means he is very likely from Earth.

This was Ye Xingkong's original intention in establishing the Hongmeng Dojo.

As for training subordinates, he didn't have the time for that. Wouldn't it be better to go to the outer battlefields and enslave a bunch of ready-made kings and immortals?

"Well, let me see."

Ye Xingkong pondered for a moment, then glanced at the materials that Ji Ling'er had prepared.

There are a total of three local geniuses from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

The first one was over three thousand years old, a martial artist, a ninth-level stellar-level cultivator, and a third-level lightning domain expert;

The second 800-year-old, a mentalist, a seventh-level stellar-level master, and a first-level master of the Fire Domain;
The third one is 1,300 years old, a martial artist, a ninth-level stellar-level being, and a second-level being in the Wood Domain.

"Not even a single person has crossed the threshold of the laws, and you call this a genius?"

"Well, for a place like the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, he is indeed a rare genius."

Ye Xingkong was rather disheartened.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. There aren't that many geniuses in the universe; ordinary people make up the vast majority.

"Alright, send them all to the Cosmic Genius Battle."

Ye Xingkong waved his hand dismissively and said.

If it were a true genius, he might spend some resources to nurture him properly. But for someone like this, who's unlikely to even break through to immortality, it's better to let him fend for himself.

However, Ye Xingkong thought about it again and felt that it was not quite right.

"We still can't be too hasty."

"There are many powerful beings in the universe who are unknown when they are weak, but shine brightly in the later stages."

Thinking of this, Ye Xingkong paused slightly and added, "How about this, if these three fail to enter the Virtual Universe Company, then so be it; if they succeed in entering the Virtual Universe Company, remember to keep a long-term observation."

"Yes."

Ji Ling'er and Yin Jiang both nodded.

After reporting some details, the two turned and left.

Ye Xingkong watched the two leave without saying a word.

Among his subordinates, Lu Tongwang and Bei Shuang are considered to be first-rate in terms of talent, and they have the potential to become Universe Venerables in the future.

After all, those who can cultivate to the level of becoming an immortal king are naturally exceptionally talented.

Ji Ling'er and Yin She have very average talents.

Especially for Ji Ling'er, without Ye Xingkong's help, it would have been extremely difficult for her to even break through to the Immortal Realm.

As for Silver General, although he was an immortal being, he had been stuck at the level of a military lord immortal for countless epochs, and his potential had long been exhausted.

After cultivating in a small universe for thirty million years, Ji Ling'er was only at the initial level of Marquis, while Yin Jiang was at the peak of Marquis.

Clearly, given his limited potential, the chances of breaking through are slim no matter how long he cultivates.

In this universe, the older something is, the more powerful it is. Otherwise, an ancient being like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom would have become the overlord of the universe long ago.

Unless Ye Xingkong spares no expense, just like Venerable Fiery helped Nightmare Candle, Ji Ling'er might have a chance to rise to a higher level.

However, Ye Xingkong treats his subordinates equally, and it is unlikely that he would bestow such a reward unless they have made great contributions.
