Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

The Five Elements Universe, on Tianyuan Mountain.

A massive spatial passage floated in the void, like a colorful vortex.

As the space rippled like water, a towering figure, as majestic as a mountain and radiating terrifying pressure, appeared in the vortex.

"Such a powerful aura! Which Venerable One has arrived at the Five Elements Sacred Land?"

A colossal figure, tens of kilometers tall, suddenly appeared before the spatial passage, its golden and silver pupils filled with doubt.

"King Chenxin, it's been a long time."

The Venerable Poison Dragon looked down at the King of Dust, whose divine body was much smaller than his own, opened his blood-red maw, and felt very pleased.

Dust Heart King was one of the ultimate kings that Ye Xingkong enslaved in the extraterritorial battlefield.

He is the "Time-Space Nightmare Beast," one of the eighteen royal families of the demon race.

Because they both came from the royal family of the demon race, the relationship between Venerable Poison Dragon and King Chenxin was quite good.

"Poison Dragon...you've broken through to the Universe Venerable Realm?"

Dust King stared wide-eyed, saying incredulously.

Even though cultivating in the Five Elements Universe has many advantages, is it really that easy to break through to become a Universe Venerable?
"King Chenxin, you should also strive to cultivate diligently."

"Only by constantly becoming stronger can I better assist my master!"

Venerable Poison Dragon said with a smile.

"Humph!"

"Of course I know!"

Upon hearing this, King Chenxin felt a secret displeasure.

If he hadn't been assigned to guard this spatial passage and couldn't go to the Samsara Platform to temper his will, even if he couldn't break through to the Universe Venerable, his strength would have improved considerably, at least reaching the invincible King level!
"I'm going to see my master now."

The Poison Dragon King smiled, then flapped its wings, transforming into a huge black shadow that vanished without a trace in an instant.

"Woo~"

"Such clear fundamental laws of the universe!"

Venerable Poison Dragon flew through the Five Elements Universe, carefully sensing the rich aura of laws around him. It seemed that every cell in his divine body was cheering with joy.

"I have little confidence in creating the ultimate secret technique of a Universe Venerable within ten thousand epochs in the primordial universe."

"But in the Five Elements Secret Realm... it's not a problem at all!"

Venerable Poison Dragon was overjoyed.

The efficiency of comprehending the laws of the Five Elements universe is ten thousand times that of the external world.

In other words, cultivating here for 10,000 epochs is equivalent to 100 million epochs, or one trillion years, in the outside world!
“My master… ordered me to go to the top of Tianyuan Mountain to see him.”

A gentle voice echoed in the Poison Dragon Venerable's mind, and his expression instantly became extremely respectful.

Whoosh!
He teleported instantly to the summit of the mysterious Tianyuan Mountain.

The place was completely empty, with a thin white mist surrounding it, making it impossible to see anything.

The Poison Dragon Venerable was somewhat puzzled. He spread his divine power outwards, only to find that his divine power could not penetrate the thick fog at all.

Boom~
Suddenly, as if it came to life, the mist gradually receded to both sides, revealing a deep and secluded path.

Without giving it much thought, Venerable Poison Dragon followed the path.

At the end of the road is an ancient stone table.

There are only three stone chairs around the stone table, two of which are empty.

Only on the stone chair in the very center sat a very handsome young man wearing a blue robe.

"Owner."

When Venerable Poison Dragon saw Ye Xingkong, he lowered his huge head and looked very respectful.

He discovered that... even though he had become a cosmic venerable, he still couldn't see through this renowned Hongmeng venerable.

You should know that Ye Xingkong is actually only immortal!
"Poison Dragon, you're quite good."

"Among the many powerful individuals under my command, you are the second to break through to the Universe Venerable level."

Ye Xingkong put down his teacup, a faint smile on his face.

The Cosmic Venerable is already among the ranks of the super strong in the entire vast universe!

Even though the human race is one of the six most powerful races in the universe, there are only a little over three thousand universe venerables.

This clearly demonstrates just how rare cosmic beings are!
In the universe, for any race, the Cosmic Venerable is a true high-level being.

Even for some weaker races, a Cosmic Venerable might be the strongest member of that race!
"Thanks to our master for providing this magical secret realm!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how many years it would take to break through."

Venerable Poison Dragon was very humble and dared not be arrogant.

"Only when you have accumulated enough knowledge and experience can you take that step."

"If your own foundation is not strong enough, even if an opportunity comes your way, you will not be able to seize it."

Ye Xingkong smiled and shook his head.

The Poison Dragon King has been invincible since he was crowned King, a total of one hundred billion epochs ago.

Such a long period of accumulation meant that he was only missing an opportunity.

Now that I've entered the Five Elements Universe for cultivation, a breakthrough is a natural outcome.

"From now on, you should focus on your cultivation here!"

"The faster your strength increases, the greater your potential will be, and naturally, the more attention you will receive from the higher-ups of the demon race!"

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

Thanks to the rise in the status of the Poison Dragon Venerable among the demon race, he also learned many secrets of the demon race.

They are also very familiar with the recent movements of the demon race.

All I can say is that the thought of the demon race going all out to search for the whereabouts of the Divine Axe Venerable makes Ye Xingkong want to laugh.

"You want to find the Divine Axe Master?"

"Even if your demon race searches the entire primordial universe, you won't find a trace of me!"

Ye Xingkong clearly had this confidence.

With the Primordial Mirror in his possession, he could even ignore the time-space reversal of the Lord of the Universe.

“Master, the great being of my demon race, Lord Molong, values ​​me highly.”

"Not only did he bestow upon me an ordinary treasure, but he also promised that if I could create my own ultimate secret technique at the level of a Universe Venerable within ten thousand epochs, he would take me as his personal disciple!"

Venerable Poison Dragon revealed another crucial piece of information.

"The Lord of the Ink Dragon?"

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "If you can be accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe, your status among the demon race will probably rise even higher."

As he spoke, Ye Xingkong seemed to have thought of something else.

"If I remember correctly, you should be following the path of the Beast God, right?"

Ye Xingkong asked.

"Yes. My Molong clan is naturally and extremely compatible with the way of the Wood Beast God."

"Therefore, most of the strong members of the clan follow the path of wood-space fusion, while a small number follow the path of time-space."

Venerable Poison Dragon explained everything in detail.

Among the eighteen royal families of the demon race, the Molong clan is considered one of the more powerful races.

Because, two Universe Lords were born in the Ink Dragon Clan.

The oldest cosmic ruler, and the source of all life in the Ink Dragon race, is the Ink Dragon Lord.

The other one broke through later and was named "Lord of Ten Thousand Prisons"!
The Lord of Ink Dragon is more ancient and stronger, and he broke through to become a Lord of the Universe by fusing wood and void.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Prisons fully comprehends the two laws of time and space, ultimately becoming the Lord of the Universe.

Therefore, both the Way of the Wood and Void Beast God and the Great Way of Time and Space have their own lineages within the Ink Dragon Clan.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Prisons, that's a good name."

Ye Xingkong nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case, and you're following the path of wood-void fusion, then go to the Wood God Island to cultivate; it's more suitable for you there," Ye Xingkong said calmly.

Since the expansion of the Five Elements universe, five more islands have emerged, each representing one of the five fundamental laws of fusion: Metal Void, Wood Void, Water Void, Fire Void, and Earth Void.

However, because Ye Xingkong has not yet had any powerful individuals under his command who have broken through to the Universe Venerable level by following the Path of the Beast God, these five divine islands have never been open to the public.

"The Island of the Wood God?"

Venerable Poison Dragon was somewhat puzzled.

"Come with me!"

Ye Xingkong smiled and merely waved his sleeve.

brush!
Venerable Poison Dragon felt a wave of dizziness, as if the stars had shifted.

The next moment, he found himself on a huge floating island.

They say it's an island!
In reality, each of the five divine islands is ten light-years in diameter!
"What a huge tree!"

The Venerable Poison Dragon looked up and saw an incomparably majestic tree standing in the very center of the Wood God Island.

The moment I saw this tree, I was instantly captivated.

This is an incredibly peculiar and mysterious tree.

At first glance, this huge tree stands tall and straight, with countless branches spreading out, as vast as an endless starry sky.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the tree was actually only a few hundred meters tall.

Although it is only a few hundred meters tall, you can see this big tree from any corner of the Wood God Island as long as you look up.

It exists between illusion and reality.

It gives people a strong sense of unreality, yet it truly stands there.

You can see both the lush, verdant tree and the desolate scene of everything withering away.

Growth and decay, two completely opposite stages, exist at the same time and in the same space.

It is both incredibly contradictory and incredibly harmonious.

"This...this is the Law of Wood-Void Fusion!"

The Poison Dragon Venerable's eyes were filled with infatuation, and he murmured to himself.

To his surprise, he discovered that observing this great tree was equivalent to observing the law of wood-void fusion itself!
This is different from the fifty-two Chaos Steles in Chaos City.

The fifty-two Chaos Steles, such as the Cosmic Chaos Stele, also expound the complete Great Dao of Spacetime.

In reality, that was merely the Chaos City Lord's understanding and perception of the Great Dao of Time and Space.

This dreamlike tree is the embodiment of the law of wood and void fusion.

To comprehend this great tree is to comprehend the law itself!
"Woo~"

"Looking at this big tree, I have a strange feeling that I can easily comprehend the entire law of wood-void fusion."

The Venerable Poison Dragon's heart trembled, but in the end, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"how?"

Ye Xingkong looked at Venerable Poison Dragon and asked with a smile.

“Master, if we could continue to comprehend this divine tree…”

"My progress on the Wood-Void Fusion Law can be ten thousand times faster."

Venerable Poison Dragon said excitedly.

Perhaps, after cultivating on the island of wood for only tens of thousands of years, his strength could reach that of a high-level cosmic venerable.

Firstly, he already possessed an extremely deep foundation of knowledge and experience.

After becoming an invincible king and breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, one will initially experience a period of rapid growth in strength.

Secondly, the ten-thousand-fold training efficiency on the Wood Island is also terrifying.

Ten thousand times is actually an extremely exaggerated number.

Tens of thousands of years of cultivation is equivalent to hundreds of millions of years of cultivation in the outside world.

"good."

Ye Xingkong nodded with satisfaction.

However, he was also very clear in his heart that by comprehending this divine tree, Venerable Poison Dragon's strength would be greatly enhanced in a short period of time.

However, breaking through to become the supreme ruler of the universe is still incredibly difficult.

"The will of the strong is the key!"

"The Poison Dragon Venerable's will is currently only at the level of the Universe Venerable, so it is almost impossible for him to break through to the level of the Universe Overlord."

Ye Xingkong shook his head secretly.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy.

The cultivation of a strong person is actually like filling a huge container with water.

The efficiency of cultivation determines the speed of water injection;

The will of the strong determines the volume of the container.

In the Five Elements Universe, cultivating is ten thousand times faster, which is actually just filling the container faster.

It would have taken 100 million years to fill, but now it only took 10,000 years.

However, the container itself is only so big. Once it is full of water, no matter how much water you add, it cannot hold a single more drop.

In the beginning, the faster a strong person cultivates, the more likely they are to demonstrate greater talent.

However, once they reach their bottleneck, it may take hundreds of millions of years for them to make any further progress.

Therefore, in the most fundamental sense, one's own potential is still more important!

This is why Hong Neng was accepted as a personal disciple by the founder of the giant axe in the original story.

It should be noted that, apart from his remarkable willpower, Hong was far inferior to Luo Feng in other aspects.

The founder of the giant axe commented that Hong's cultivation period would be incredibly long, but he had a high probability of becoming a super strong being in the universe.

"Therefore, willpower is extremely important!"

"Willpower determines the ceiling!"

"The strong in the universe do not disregard willpower, but rather they simply lack effective methods to enhance it; they can only rely on their own gradual understanding and refinement."

Ye Xingkong sighed softly.

For example, many strong people admire the experience of life and death;

For example, some powerful beings will disguise themselves as ordinary life forms and wander in the universe;

For example, many strong people will deliberately endure various hardships;
……

All these different methods are actually for tempering one's own will.

However, this method of improving willpower is very slow.

The most ridiculous method is to repeatedly undergo life-or-death trials.

To put it bluntly, it's gambling with your life.

A successful breakthrough would naturally bring joy to everyone.
If it fails, then death will be the end of it all.

Of course, from another perspective, there is great fear as well as great opportunity between life and death.

Being between life and death, or in dire straits, is indeed the most effective way, as universally acknowledged, to temper one's will.

This is why billions of species throughout the universe, including the human race, have almost universally accepted the "Dark Forest" cosmic law.

Even within the human race, the competition between different races is extremely fierce.

Some weaker races were oppressed and enslaved.

The entire race was enslaved, sold to various parts of the universe, and eventually wiped out.

These things have actually received the tacit approval of the highest levels of humanity.

It seems……

The Five Elements Universe is indeed a unique cultivation paradise in the universe.

Whether it's comprehending the laws of nature or tempering one's will, it possesses numerous unique advantages. (End of Chapter)
