Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

primordial universe.

A silent, cold, empty starry sky.

Whoosh!
Suddenly, a slight ripple appeared in the surrounding space, and then a towering figure with soaring demonic energy appeared out of thin air.

"Jie Jie~"

Ye Xingkong sneered twice, then took out a treasure that looked like an ancient, crimson palace made of many stones.

This treasure is named "Red Fang Palace," and it is an ordinary supreme treasure of the sealing type.

Although its defensive capabilities are average, it possesses strong suppression and sealing abilities.

If Ye Xingkong were to unleash his full power, sealing an ordinary cosmic overlord would be a piece of cake.

At this moment.

The interior of the Red Fang Palace is incredibly vast, resembling a small world.

The world was filled with endless, scorching blood-red energy, which made the surrounding space extremely oppressive, making teleportation impossible and even greatly slowing down movement speed.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sat cross-legged on the ground. After experiencing the ups and downs along the way, he was now quite calm.

"If the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable wanted to kill me, he would have done so already!"

"The fact that I'm keeping him alive now probably means he has some other purpose."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom's eyes flickered, his heart filled with unease.

Although he knew he wouldn't die anytime soon, who knew if the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable had a penchant for imprisoning or abusing powerful individuals?

It is important to know that there are many infamous villains in the universe who take pleasure in torturing the strong.

If it falls into their hands, the best outcome is self-destruction.

"I hope... the ending won't really be that tragic!"

"If it really comes to that, the worst that can happen is death, but I can always be resurrected."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom clenched his fist, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Of course, what he really couldn't bear to part with was all the treasures he possessed!

The time it took for the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom to become the overlord of the universe was very short. Although he had been lucky enough to accumulate a lot of wealth on the original star in the past ten thousand years, he exchanged all of this wealth for precious treasures and carried them with him.

For the truly strong, only their own strength matters.

Therefore, the vast majority of the wealth of the strong is used to improve their own strength, and they rarely keep a large amount of cash, as that would be a complete waste!

Rumble~
Just as the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was feeling uneasy, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Hiss~hiss~
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked up and saw that endless crimson energy was beginning to converge within the Crimson Fang Palace, eventually forming a huge vortex.

Within this vortex, a super-powerful being exuding boundless demonic energy slowly emerged.

"Blood Demon Celestial Venerable!"

A figure appeared in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler, and his heart involuntarily clenched slightly.

A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!
The Blood Demon Celestial Venerable has been infamous for centuries, and dozens of cosmic overlords have fallen at his hands.

That overwhelming demonic energy!

That rich aura of blood!
That undisguised evil aura!

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom couldn't help but hold his breath slightly.

Even with his cosmic overlord-level will, he couldn't help but feel terrified in the face of that ever-present aura of destruction.

destroy……

die……

evil……

The aura that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom sensed was not the kind of evil that came from the slaughter of billions of lives, but an evil and destruction from the depths of the soul.

This is an extremely fundamental force.

At first glance, it looks as if the universe is being destroyed and everything is withering away.

"This this……"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was so surprised that he was speechless.

He may be the only living being in close proximity to the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable.

He could vaguely sense that this pure evil, this pure destruction... was not the personality or preference of a strong person, but had become close to the Dao!

"The Blood Demon Celestial Venerable is unfathomable!"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom felt the terrifying evil aura and couldn't help but be secretly alarmed.

"Jie Jie~"

"Human...do you know why I've come to find you this time?"

Ye Xingkong stared at the Qianwu Kingdom ruler in front of him for a long time, then let out a hoarse laugh.

"I don't know."

Upon hearing this, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head rather shrewishly.

Judging from the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable's tone, he didn't seem to really want to kill him.

"You should know that I, Blood Demon Celestial Venerable, have slaughtered countless people. No powerful person who falls into my hands has ever left alive."

"However, I can give you a chance."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his tone slightly mocking.

"This……"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the Qianwu King, who said, "I will do my best."

"it is good!"

Ye Xingkong nodded, a half-smile on his face, and said, "I want to make a deal with your human race. If you can bring the Lord of Chaos City here, I will spare your life."

"Who?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was stunned, almost doubting that he had heard correctly.

Although the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable has recently caused a great stir on the Primordial Star, his strength is indeed very strong, enough to go head-to-head with the Lord of the Universe.

But who is the Lord of Chaos City?
He was an invincible figure even among the Lords of the Universe, the head of the Virtual Universe Company, and a great being second only to the founder of the Giant Axe among the entire human race.

Encountering the Lord of Chaos City... it's already a miracle that the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable didn't flee, but this time he actually proposed to meet him.

"Okay, I can give it a try."

Upon hearing Ye Xingkong's request, the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler felt much more at ease, and his expression improved considerably.

The Lord of Chaos City is truly a pillar of the human race!

As long as the Lord of Chaos City is there, I will be absolutely safe.

"Don't try anything funny!"

Your life is in my hands!

Ye Xingkong spoke in a hoarse voice, a ball of crimson light gathering at his fingertips.

After a while.

"The Lord of Chaos City said he is willing to come and see you."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said with a sigh of relief.

In the past, if he hadn't broken through to become a cosmic overlord, even with his status as the Lord of Chaos City, he wouldn't have been able to see him whenever he wanted.

However, once one becomes the overlord of the universe, their status changes completely.

Looking at the entire human race, the cosmic overlords are the strongest at the very top, second only to the cosmic lords and the three top cosmic overlords.

"Can you let me go now?"

At this moment, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked tentatively in a low voice.

"Let the Lord of Chaos City come and fetch you."

Ye Xingkong wore a half-smile, then his figure vanished from the spot.

Rumble~
The outside world is empty space.

Ye Xingkong waved his hand and put away the Crimson Fang Palace, then waited quietly.

Time passes slowly, I don’t know how long it has been.

Sudden……

Clang! Thump! Whoosh! Sizzle!
Various sounds suddenly arose, initially very soft, but slowly resonating as if in one's heart.

Ye Xingkong slowly opened his eyes and looked at the endless dark starry sky.

In the vast universe, a faint, flowing river of stars appeared out of nowhere. The river was several light-years wide and endlessly long, as if it led to the end of the universe.

In this indistinct river, various strange objects float, each radiating a terrifying pressure.

"Qianbao River?"

Ye Xingkong felt the powerful pressure emanating from the river, and his expression changed slightly.

The overwhelming oppressive force generated by this starry river alone could easily annihilate the divine body of a high-level cosmic venerable.

"You are the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable?"

"interesting……"

At that moment, a gentle voice rang out in the starry sky.

Wow~
A towering figure, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, strode forward, riding the waves of a golden river of stars, wielding a massive stone club. "The Lord of Chaos City?"

Ye Xingkong smiled upon seeing this.

His divine body suddenly grew larger and larger, reaching a height of nearly ten thousand kilometers, before stopping.

Although the overwhelming pressure of the Thousand Treasures River was strong, it could only make him feel some restraint, and it was far from annihilating his divine body.

Rumble~
Then, an endless river of blood appeared, and countless blood-red figures emerged from the surging river, like ancient demon gods, exuding overwhelming ferocity.

Of course, the Demon Blood River was just an ordinary treasure of the domain type, and it could only struggle to withstand the impact of the Thousand Treasures River, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.

"As expected of the Thousand Treasures River, a top-tier treasure in its category!"

"It really lives up to its reputation!"

Ye Xingkong sighed softly.

This is the difference between him and the top powerhouses in the universe.

With such a huge difference in their treasures, how can we fight?
"hehe!"

The Lord of Chaos City walked barefoot across the waves, holding a mottled, scarred stone club.

The stone rod seemed to have been ravaged, with countless ancient and mysterious patterns appearing on its surface, faintly evoking the fundamental laws of the universe.

He was wearing a seemingly ordinary garment, but on that garment were faintly visible thousands of objects emitting sounds that penetrated the soul, and each thread of the garment was like a rushing river.

"Peak of the Gemstone Staff!"

"That seemingly ordinary garment is also a supreme treasure!"

With Ye Xingkong's discerning eye as a master weapon refiner, he easily discerned the true nature of the two supreme treasures possessed by the Chaos City Lord.

"As expected of the Lord of Chaos City, even if it is just an avatar, he carries at least three top-tier treasures!"

Ye Xingkong felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Although the Qianbao River, a supreme treasure of the domain category, is a top-tier treasure, in terms of value, it surpasses those two peak treasures.

"Blood Demon Celestial Venerable, how dare you!"

"You've committed a heinous crime in the universe, yet you dare to come and see me!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you on the spot?"

The Chaos City Lord's voice was like thunder, even carrying a slight impact on the soul. Some powerful individuals with weak willpower would probably be momentarily stunned by this voice.

"Jie Jie~"

“Lord of Chaos City, I admit that I am no match for you.”

"But when it comes to escaping, since I was able to escape from the encirclement of dozens of universe lords, I can naturally escape from your hands as well!"

Ye Xingkong chuckled twice and said with great confidence.

"Oh?"

"Yeah!"

The Lord of Chaos City snorted coldly, causing the starry sky to tremble. At the same time, a faint light condensed on the ancient stone staff in his hand, emanating an extremely dangerous aura.

As an invincible being among the rulers of the universe, his majesty is not to be violated.

"and many more!"

Seeing that the Chaos City Lord was about to attack without saying a word, Ye Xingkong immediately raised his hand and said, "Chaos City Lord, let me ask you, in the two hundred years I have dominated the Primordial Star, have I ever killed a single strong person from your human race?"

"Not yet."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head truthfully.

"If that's the case, why should we resort to arms against each other?"

"To tell you the truth, I've come to you today to make a deal with your human race!"

Ye Xingkong continued.

"trade?"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled.

In fact, he never intended to take action in the first place; he was just trying to scare Ye Xingkong.

After all, judging from various actions, the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable does have some goodwill towards other humans.

The Lord of Chaos City was incredibly intelligent; he would never offend a cosmic ruler for the sake of some so-called "greater good."

Moreover, the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable is a universe lord with extremely strong self-preservation abilities and no forces to hold him back.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Without any powerful forces to hold them back, lone strongmen in the universe often act with even greater impunity.

"What kind of deal is it? Tell me about it."

The Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.

Ye Xingkong pondered for a moment, then tossed out a world ring and said calmly, "I have a batch of precious treasures and supreme treasures. Don't worry about how you got them. I'm just asking if you humans will accept them?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City instantly understood and smiled knowingly.

Stolen goods!
"Tsk tsk, quite a lot!"

The Lord of Chaos City took the World Ring, and after a brief sweep of his divine power, he was immediately startled.

The treasures in the world ring, roughly calculated, probably amount to around a thousand treasure points.

"That's fine!"

"However, I will only give you nine hundred treasure points for these treasures."

"You can barter, but the treasures you offer must be something that our human race possesses, and they cannot be too precious."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded and finally agreed to the deal.

He didn't want to make money off Ye Xingkong; he simply wanted to befriend a Lord of the Universe.

Although the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable's identity is rather sensitive, since he has shown goodwill towards the human race, the Chaos City Lord should naturally respond in kind.

After all, there are always some things that are inconvenient for major powers in the universe to do.

At this point, it would be necessary to invite some powerful lone wolves from across the universe to do it.

"Nine hundred treasure points..."

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful.

The price offered by the Chaos City Lord was one-tenth less than his estimate. However, the human race would also bear risks by accepting this shipment, and would definitely have to take some kickbacks.

"Row!"

"I agreed!"

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment and then readily nodded.

These precious treasures would have been useless to him if he couldn't sell them.

Only by trading it out can you get what you want.

"Lord of Chaos City!"

"All the items I need are here. See if you can gather them all."

Ye Xingkong handed over a list.

"what?"

The Lord of Chaos glanced at the list and immediately showed surprise.

The list contained numerous treasures, none of which were particularly valuable; they were all fairly common in the universe.

However, the required quantity is relatively large, and most of it consists of materials for refining weapons.

"With so many refining materials... do you know how to refine weapons?"

The Lord of Chaos asked with a curious expression.

"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

"I can barely forge a few top-tier treasures!"

Ye Xingkong waved his hand and said very modestly.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City was quite shocked.

This ruthless killer in front of me doesn't look like a master weapon refiner at all!

There are probably no more than five people in the entire primordial universe who can refine top-tier treasures.

In an instant, the Blood Demon Celestial Venerable's status in the heart of the Chaos City Lord rose to another level.

"Our human race can gather these materials, but the quantity is too large, and it will take some time."

"These few rare and precious materials are not very valuable, but they are extremely rare. Our human race has no stock of them."

After a moment's thought, the Lord of Chaos City gave a reply.

Ultimately, the human race managed to collect 85% of the items on the list, and the remaining 15% were replaced with corresponding items.

"Fine!"

Ye Xingkong nodded, not particularly surprised.

He hadn't originally planned to acquire all the treasures on the list.

After all, some of these refining materials are indeed extremely rare. (End of Chapter)
