Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Innate Secret Technique - Celestial Spheres!
Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged under the ancient tree, knowing from the information in his mind that this was a special secret technique with extremely powerful energy!

10081 stars are scattered throughout the sky, arranged in various extremely mysterious combinations.

Every star is interconnected, endlessly regenerating and eternally enduring.

Different permutations and combinations... produce completely different effects.

There is a vast and solemn "Starry Spacetime" composed of 10081 stars. Once activated, tens of thousands of stars can instantly control the starry sky within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, forming a spacetime on its own.

It can bind enemies with the power of the stars in the sky. In the "Starry Spacetime", one's own strength will naturally increase, while the enemy's strength will be greatly weakened.
There is also the "Star God King," composed of 10081 stars, whose divine power is like a prison, representing the ultimate means of attack!
"Different combinations will produce different results."

"The real mystery... isn't the stars themselves, but the way the 10081 stars are arranged!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes gradually brightened.

Rumble~
With a thought, he manipulated his immortal divine power, and 10081 leaves flew to his front.

"The Celestial Spheres—Starry Spacetime! Unite!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes narrowed as he used 10081 leaves to form an incredibly profound array in the void.

The leaves are just ordinary leaves.

Let alone an immortal powerhouse, even an ordinary person at the apprentice level could be easily torn apart.

Tens of thousands of leaves moved continuously in the void, like stars in the universe, each leaf moving along a certain unchanging trajectory.

At first glance, it looks like tens of thousands of leaves moving randomly and haphazardly, just like a child playing with mud.

But upon closer inspection, it seems to contain endless mysteries.

Although I sensed something profound, I didn't know how to express it in words.

Boom~
At a certain moment, when these 10081 leaves formed a mysterious and peculiar combination, a strange power descended.

Suddenly, the surrounding space trembled, and the ten thousand slowly moving leaves began to gradually take control of the surrounding spacetime.

only……

Just as the secret technique reached its most crucial moment, the tens of thousands of leaves trembled slightly, and under the influence of a powerful force, they all turned into dust.

"Did it fail?"

Ye Xingkong murmured to himself, seemingly unsurprised.

After all, these leaves are too fragile, just like the sand and gravel that can be found everywhere on the ground, and are not enough to bear such powerful spacetime forces.

If these 10081 leaves were replaced with 10081 Star Treasures, the power would be completely different.

"The Celestial Constellation Secret Technique is incredibly powerful!"

Ye Xingkong snapped out of his reverie about the secret technique and gave it a very positive evaluation.

The truly powerful aspect of this innate secret technique lies in the way those 10081 stars operate.

"Perfect!"

A hint of shock flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

Just like a 10081-fold increase in the level of life genes, every inch of skin, muscle and bone is like the most perfect work of the universe!
An absolutely perfect genetic structure, without a single flaw or defect!
Ye Xingkong observed the movement of the stars in the heavens and felt a sense of "perfection".

The trajectory of each star, the arrangement of each star, has reached a state of perfect harmony; even the slightest deviation would not produce such an effect.

However, the more extraordinary the secret technique, the more difficult it is to execute.

Unlike Panwu's clone's "World-Destroying Red Lotus", Zhou Tian Xing Chen requires a set of matching treasures to unleash its full power.

Of course, it's not impossible to directly use immortal divine power to become ethereal, but the consumption of divine power would be extremely terrifying.

Ye Xingkong estimated that maintaining the Zhou Tian Xing celestial constellation for one second would consume one-tenth of his divine body.

Things to know...

The human being has now reached a level of perfect life genes 10081 times that of the human being, and its divine body is 90,000 kilometers high. The amplitude of its divine body has also reached 100 times the limit of the universe.

In terms of both the quality and quantity of divine power, the three major forces are actually no different.

One clone burned divine power to unleash "Zhou Tian Xing Chen," but could only maintain it for ten seconds.

In a battle, this obviously wouldn't play a crucial role.

"If you have a set of matching treasures to use the Zhou Tian Xing Chen technique, the consumption of divine power can be reduced to one ten-thousandth."

Ye Xingkong frowned and began to think.

10081 stars means that 10081 corresponding treasures are needed.

Even if each star is just the weakest and most ordinary treasure, worth only 1 treasure point, it is still comparable to an ordinary supreme treasure.

Moreover, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array, composed of ordinary treasures, is quite limited.

It might be enough in the short term, but it will be a bit too slow once Ye Xingkong's strength grows.

"Ideally, I'd like a God-King level treasure, getting it right away in one go."

Ye Xingkong was having some wild ideas.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking.

God-King level treasures are incredibly precious even in the Origin Continent, let alone in this god-dead primitive universe.

"What should I do?"

"Ultimately, we're still lacking in truly exceptional treasures!"

Ye Xingkong sighed softly, suddenly feeling somewhat troubled.

······
A few months later.

Since reaching the level of perfect genes, Ye Xingkong's two clones have been staying in the Five Elements Universe.

Panwu's clone was busy familiarizing himself with the newly acquired high-level treasure, the giant axe, while the Five Elements clone continued to comprehend the laws of space.

The summit of Tianyuan Mountain.

[Space Law: 80015/100000]

A proficiency panel appeared in front of the Five Elements Avatar.

"For me now, the complete laws of space are no longer a problem."

"The only thing needed is time!"

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding spatial laws.

It can only be said that the Five Elements Universe is indeed a sacred place for comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe, with an efficiency ten thousand times that of the outside world, and much stronger than the initial universe.

"For now, the exploration of the Primal Star has come to a temporary halt."

"Next, I need to strive to break through to the Universe Venerable level as soon as possible."

Ye Xingkong remained calm and composed, his face showing no change in expression.

Once he achieves the status of a Space Venerable, his strength will undergo another dramatic change.

……

An endless void somewhere in Tianyuan Mountain.

The chaotic air currents swirled around, floating like clouds and mist.

Panwu's clone stood in the void, tightly gripping a giant axe that exuded boundless killing intent.

The giant axe was entirely black, except for a faint layer of blood-red at the very edge of the blade.

The axe is covered with many lifelike carvings of mythical beasts. At first glance, the entire giant axe looks like a prehistoric beast with its jaws wide open.

"Black Steel, as expected of a high-grade treasure, it's indeed more powerful than ordinary treasures!"

Ye Xingkong briefly tested the power of "Black Steel" and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

If we had this giant axe, we wouldn't have needed to use "World-Destroying Red Lotus" when facing Lord Fantian.

It should be noted that using a heaven-defying secret technique like the "World-Destroying Red Lotus" consumes an enormous amount of divine power.

Back on the original planet, Panwu's clone condensed two "red lotuses," burning one-tenth of his divine power in the process.

Even after consuming one-tenth of their strength, which may seem to leave them with 90% of their divine body, it has already greatly affected their power, basically limiting them to only half of their peak combat strength.

However, Panwu's clone has now achieved a perfect divine body.

Both the size of the divine body and the mass of divine power far surpassed those on the original star.

Now, casting "Crimson Lotus of Annihilation" would consume negligible amounts of divine power. "Starry Sky Across the Nine Heavens..."

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged in the void, frowning as he pondered.

He created this unique skill primarily to pass the Fire Lord's trial, without putting in much effort.

Even though they are both ultimate secret techniques at the level of the Lord of the Universe, Starry Sky Nine Heavens is still inferior to the two great arts, Endless Reincarnation and Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique.

Moreover, in essence, Starry Sky Nine Heavens is a unique sword technique.

However, since knives and axes have some things in common, Panwu's clones have been making do for the time being.

However, a knife is still a knife, and an axe is still an axe; they are fundamentally different.

Even if you asked the creator of the giant axe to grab a knife and start chopping people, he wouldn't be used to it!
Ye Xingkong began to study secret techniques, and based on the original Xingyao Jiutian, he modified it into a unique axe technique.

Since it's not a secret technique created from scratch, it doesn't require too much effort.

……

On the ancient star.

A palace engulfed in an endless sea of ​​fire.

Ye Xingkong gently patted the gourd at his waist, and the endless sea of ​​fire seemed to flow and surge wildly into the gourd's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the endless sea of ​​fire vanished, leaving only a bright blue bead the size of a child's fist behind.

Whoosh!
Ye Xingkong put the blue pearl into his hand, a sigh appearing on his face.

"Both of my clones have plans!"

"Now that I'm here, I can't just sit idle either!"

Ye Xingkong shook his head.

He has been stuck on the second level of the "Treasure Refining Manual" for a long time, and can only refine ordinary treasures.

Ordinary treasures... are no longer enough to keep up with Ye Xingkong's strength.

Now is the time to put some effort into honing this weapon-refining skill.

[Treasure Refining Manual: Second Level (150100/200000)]

Ye Xingkong glanced at the proficiency panel and carefully played with the blue orb in his hand.

This bead may not look big, but its mass is greater than that of a typical star.

Ye Xingkong crafted this precious pearl naturally to assemble the "Zhou Tian Xing Chen" treasure.

"This star may seem simple, but it is actually a top-tier treasure, worth about 120 treasure points."

"10081 pieces is approximately 370 Treasure Points!"

"Tsk tsk, its value is comparable to some top-tier treasures!"

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, it takes a huge price to craft such a treasure.

The "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Tu" (Celestial Star Chart) is formed by the final combination of 10081 top-tier precious stars, and its power is absolutely no weaker than that of ordinary top-tier treasures.

"Fortunately, I am a weapon refiner."

"A treasure worth 370 Treasure Points can be crafted by yourself. Only one-tenth of the crafting materials are needed, which is 37 Treasure Points."

Ye Xingkong felt a little gratified.

As for the materials used to refine these top-tier precious stars, he didn't need to search for them in the universe himself; they were all available in the human race's treasury, only the required quantity was relatively large.

Although Ye Xingkong couldn't come up with 37 Treasure Points all at once, he still had 0.5 Treasure Points left, which was enough to exchange for a few sets of materials.

Refining these 10081 top-tier treasures is undoubtedly a massive undertaking that will take an incredibly long time.

Ye Xingkong has been working on improving his proficiency in the "Weapon Refining Manual" recently, and he'll take this opportunity to refine a few more items.

······
The distant territory of the demon clan.

Amidst the endless black flames that stretch for hundreds of millions of kilometers in the starry sky, towering mountain peaks stand.

The mountains are home to a large number of monsters, making it seem like a kingdom belonging to monsters.

There were young demon beasts playing around, whose auras were only at the cosmic or domain lord level; there were many demon races whose strength had reached the level of immortal gods; and there were even many cosmic venerable demon beasts.

Many powerful figures live in these mountains, and when they look at the central peak, they all show a respectful expression.

The outermost edge of the entire central mountain peak is filled with endless starlight.

This is the location of "Dream Demon Ancestor," one of the two strongest beings of the demon race.

The Dream Demon Ancestor is an existence with an extremely high status in the vast universe.

His strength has reached the pinnacle of this primordial universe, making him a powerful figure whom many universe lords must revere. His reputation is in no way inferior to that of the human creator with the giant axe.

In the main hall.

A large silver serpent coiled around the throne, its eyes half-closed. Its tail wrapped around the edge of the throne eight or nine times, and the tip of its tail still extended down to the foot of the throne.

His enormous body was like a black hole, swallowing up any light that got close, leaving only a vague outline of a vast void on the throne.

"Hua Hua Hua~~~"

At this very moment, time and space within the main hall were flowing backward.

Scenes flashed by rapidly, showing how various cosmic venerables had come to pay homage to the Dream Demon Ancestor.

"Certainly!"

Suddenly, a figure from a past era, who was respectfully bowing, was locked onto.

Time continued to rewind, and the surrounding scenery kept changing, but only that huge figure remained motionless, like a sculpture.

"Time travel!"

The reversed timeline began to rapidly return, and the backlash from the laws governing the universe began to continuously transmit to the enormous figure on the throne.

The Dream Demon Ancestor's body trembled slightly, as if resurrecting a cosmic overlord was an extremely heavy burden for him.

After a long while, everything returned to calm.

Lord Fantian regained consciousness and stood in the main hall, looking completely bewildered.

Soon, his memory returned, and his eyes revealed a complex expression of regret, anger, and resentment.

"Thank you, Demon Ancestor Xie Meng."

Lord Fantian lowered his enormous head and spoke in a low voice.

His divine body was nearly a hundred kilometers tall, but compared to the enormous figure of the Dream Demon Ancestor, he was like an ant.

"Fan Tian..."

"You should know the price of resurrecting a cosmic overlord."

The Dream Demon Ancestor on the throne spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Yes!"

Lord Fantian nodded, his heart seemingly bleeding.

He had lost almost all his treasures on the original planet, and now he was penniless, only able to repay his clan's debts through long-term accumulation.

It should be noted that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was resurrected twice, and the amount of treasure points he owed was something he could hardly repay in his lifetime.

The price he paid for being resurrected as a cosmic overlord was immense.

More importantly, the stronger the divine body of a powerful being, the greater the price they pay for resurrection.

It's like pulling a fish out of the water; the larger the fish, the harder it is to pull it out.

Therefore, the debt that Lord Fantian owes to his people will likely be difficult to repay over many years.

"Go back and tell Lord Sirius everything that happened to you on the Primal Star."

"Regarding the matter of the Divine Axe Venerable, the clan has decided to entrust him with full authority to handle it."

"Dream Demon Ancestor said somewhat wearily."

"Yes."

Lord Fantian nodded and left the ancient hall. (End of Chapter)
