Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Human territory.

Savage Universe Kingdom.

Amidst the vast and dazzling Milky Way, a majestic figure quietly emerged.

"Is this the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena, the Giant Axe Secret Realm?"

A strange light flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

In the distant starry sky, numerous celestial bodies, including planets, stars, and nebulae, could be seen floating.

At the very center of these celestial bodies lies a vast and boundless continent that stretches as far as the eye can see.

This continent is like the center of the universe, with all celestial bodies revolving around it.

"As expected of the Giant Axe Arena!"

Ye Xingkong was inwardly amazed.

This supercontinent is probably tens of light-years in diameter, which is more than enough to serve as the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena.

Rumble~
At this moment, a vague and ethereal power of spacetime converged, and then a majestic golden figure appeared in the starry sky.

"The Master of the Divine Axe".

The imposing golden figure wore a smile.

"Lord of the Void Gold, I never expected that you would come to greet me in person."

A smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's face.

"Divine Axe, this is your first time visiting my Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena headquarters, of course I have to take it seriously!"

"Come on! Follow me inside!"

The Lord of False Gold said with a chuckle.

Ye Xingkong nodded, observing the supercontinent before him.

As the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena, this continent must contain all sorts of terrifying weapons, the cost of which is probably no less than that of a top-tier treasure.

Even if the Lord of the Universe wanted to force his way in, it would be utterly wishful thinking.

"Our teacher returned to the primordial universe some time ago because of the matter of the Northern Nether Palace."

"Now, I should be waiting for you at the Temple of the Giant Axe."

The voice of the Lord of False Gold was filled with majesty.

His appearance is very similar to that of an Earthling, except that he has nine strange golden transparent "marks" on his forehead, slightly pointed ears, and pure gold eyes.

"God Ax!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that we would meet in real life after just meeting in the virtual universe."

At this moment, a towering figure, over thirty meters tall, emerged, his entire body covered in purple scales and carrying a giant axe on his back.

He is another cosmic master of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena lineage, the Lord of Lanzang.

"Lan Zang, you've come too? That's rare."

The Lord of False Gold was somewhat surprised.

"Lord of the Stormy Realm".

Ye Xingkong nodded.

"I heard that the Lord of the Divine Axe is coming, so of course I have to come and see."

Lord Lanzang laughed heartily.

In reality, his true self cultivates within the miniature universe of the Giant Axe Founder; what came this time was merely a divine power avatar.

Ye Xingkong looked at the Lord of Lanzang. He didn't actually know much about the human universe lords outside the virtual universe lineage.

Lord of Lanzang is the junior brother of Lord of Xujin and the youngest direct disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe.

In terms of strength, it is of course extremely terrifying, and it is estimated that it has already crossed the threshold of the third-order universe master.

While in the virtual universe, Ye Xingkong hadn't yet realized it.

However, upon meeting him in real life, he discovered that the Lord of Lancang exuded an extremely heavy aura of malevolence.

The intensity of this malevolent aura was only slightly lower than that of the "Blood Demon Celestial Venerable" he was disguised as.

"Such a heavy aura of killing intent, just how many powerful figures have been slaughtered?"

Ye Xingkong sighed inwardly.

However, he also understood that most of the strong individuals trained in the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena had grown up through brutal life-and-death battles, and therefore, they were generally obsessed with killing.

Slaughter is their way of the strong, it is part of their martial arts.

"Let's go in, don't keep the teacher waiting."

At this moment, the Lord of False Gold spoke.

"See the teacher?"

"I won't go!"

Lord Lanzang quickly shook his head.

In the outside world, he was a super being who had killed countless people and whose name alone made powerful alien races tremble with fear.

But in front of the founder of the giant axe, he was just an incompetent little disciple.

As he spoke, the Lord of Lanzang suddenly vanished.

"That guy, Lan Zang!"

The Lord of False Gold couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Although the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena lineage has the Giant Axe Founder, the strongest being in the universe.

However, the founder of the giant axe never interfered in affairs, spending most of his time cultivating or adventuring in the cosmic sea.

The actual manager of the Giant Axe Arena is the Lord of Virtual Gold!
Among the many disciples of the founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Void Gold is not only the eldest brother, but also teaches and answers questions on behalf of the founder of the Giant Axe, so he can be considered a half-teacher.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Led by the Lord of False Gold, Ye Xingkong traversed space and soon arrived in front of an ancient palace that floated above the stars.

From the outside, this palace looks exactly like the Giant Axe Temple in the virtual universe, exuding an ancient and wild aura.

"Teacher, the Lord of the Divine Axe has arrived."

The Lord of False Gold and Ye Xingkong walked into the temple side by side.

Upon entering the Giant Axe Temple, Ye Xingkong felt that the palace was as vast and boundless as the universe, and that he felt incredibly small within it.

Above the dome of the palace, there are 10081 stars, some bright and some dim, floating. Upon closer inspection, they form a mysterious giant axe pattern.

"It's 10081 again..."

"It seems that true super-strong individuals share common insights into the universe."

Ye Xingkong pondered to himself.

"Divine Axe, you've arrived."

At the far end of the hall, a rough voice rang out.

Ye Xingkong was slightly taken aback, and then noticed that at the end of the temple, there stood a giant with long, flowing hair.

When he first entered the temple, he was so engrossed in observing the "giant axe" pattern that he failed to discover the creator of the giant axe!
"The founder of the giant axe".

Ye Xingkong bent down slightly.

He deserves our utmost respect for this sole pillar of humanity.

"You came just in time!"

The founder of the giant axe spoke in a rough voice, with a hint of amusement, "Just now, the nine major forces that possess the Northern Nether Pearl discussed the matter and decided to jointly open the Northern Nether Palace 30,000 years from now."

Thirty thousand years?

Ye Xingkong was slightly taken aback.

Thirty thousand years!
He's probably not even been cultivating for 30,000 years yet.
The Lord of False Gold, on the other hand, had a perfectly normal expression.

Indeed, for the eternal and ancient cosmic ruler, time is merely a number, utterly meaningless.

Ye Xingkong felt that 30,000 years was a long time because he was still too young.

After he has experienced an incredibly long period of time, he will naturally not feel that 30,000 years is a long time.

"Thirty thousand years is neither long nor short; we should make as many preparations as possible."

The founder of the giant axe looked at Ye Xingkong and said with a smile.

He came to Ye Xingkong's side and took out a ball of burning purple flames that seemed to scorch and penetrate even the space itself.

Upon closer inspection, however, it turned out to be not flames at all, but a priceless suit of armor.

"This armor is called the 'Mysterious Crimson Flame Armor'. Its defensive capabilities are quite good even among top-tier treasure armors. It is a treasure bestowed upon you by your clan."

"Once worn, it can withstand most damage from beings at the level of a universe master."

The founder of the giant axe handed the "purple flame" to Ye Xingkong.

The Lord of Void Gold, standing to the side, couldn't hide a hint of envy in his eyes. "The Divine Axe, even the armor that Master himself uses, is only a top-tier treasure of armor."

"Now that you have obtained this treasure, do not forget the gift from your people."

The Lord of False Gold couldn't help but speak up.

"Giant Axe, you..."

Ye Xingkong looked at the creator of the giant axe and was slightly taken aback.

But that makes sense, since the human race doesn't possess any supreme treasures. Even the best treasure armor is only at the level of a peak treasure.

"Ha ha!"

The founder of the giant axe waved his hand casually and laughed, "Even among top-tier treasures, there are differences in quality. My treasure armor is naturally better than yours."

Ye Xingkong nodded, finally feeling relieved.

As a weapon refiner himself, he naturally knew that even among treasures of the same level, the value could vary greatly.

Just like among the pinnacle treasure armors, there are top-grade pinnacle treasure armors like the Calamity Armor, as well as some ordinary pinnacle treasure armors.

As the strongest being in the universe, the Giant Axe Founder's armor should be a top-tier, supreme treasure armor.

"Thirty thousand years is enough time for you to become familiar with this 'Mysterious Crimson Flame Armor'."

"At that time, your ability to survive will also be greatly improved."

"That's what the founder of the giant axe said."

······
Leave the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena.

Ye Xingkong returned to Guyuan Star, sat cross-legged on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

"Mysterious Crimson Flame Armor..."

Ye Xingkong murmured softly. Having obtained this supreme treasure from the Giant Axe Founder, he felt a slight pressure in his heart.

You reap what you sow; this is a universal truth.

Especially the cosmic rulers of the human race, who occupy a position within their race, are mostly giving back.

After Ye Xingkong broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he obtained a supreme treasure without making any effort.

It should be noted that among the nineteen universe lords of the human race, many do not even possess a single supreme treasure.

No wonder they felt resentful.

"The battle for the Northern Netherworld Palace must be fought brilliantly!"

Ye Xingkong made a decision in his heart.

He glanced at the proficiency panel.

[Name: Ye Xingkong]

"To quickly improve one's strength, one can only focus on three aspects: realm, secret techniques, and supreme treasures."

"In terms of the laws of time, based on the comprehension efficiency of the Five Elements Avatars, it will probably be difficult for them to break through to the level of Universe Lord within 30,000 years."

"A supreme treasure? Unless you obtain an extremely powerful supreme treasure, it won't be a decisive factor."

"Then we'll have to delve deeper into the secret techniques!"

Ye Xingkong slowly stood up, took a step, and was directly teleported to the Five Elements Universe.

The Five Elements Universe, at the summit of Tianyuan Mountain.

As soon as Ye Xingkong appeared, he felt that the fluctuations of the laws around him were much clearer than those in the original universe.

If the fluctuations of the Five Elements Universe Laws are like 4K uncensored clarity, then the fluctuations of the Primordial Universe Laws are like a 480P video with a thick layer of mosaic.

One is in the heavens, the other on the earth; neither is an exaggeration.

"At my level, I want to make further breakthroughs in strength by creating secret techniques."

"The strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe is no longer meaningful. Above that, the only thing that can be done is to create a fifth-order secret technique, which is the strongest fusion secret technique."

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but frown.

He currently has no clue how to create the most powerful fusion technique.

"Among the many secret techniques I created, there are Endless Reincarnation, Starfire Illuminating the Sky, Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Blade Technique, and Annihilation."

"Among them, Endless Reincarnation and Starfire Illuminating the Sky have been developed to the strongest secret technique level, while Nine Revolutions Gengjin Blade Technique and Annihilation are still at the ultimate secret technique level."

"Since we still don't have a clue... let's upgrade both of these secret techniques to the strongest level first!"

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, immersed in the creation of secret techniques.

Time is long.

Just ten years passed.

Ye Xingkong then pushed the level of Annihilation to the strongest secret technique level.

Annihilation is a secret technique for attacking the soul.

Over the next twenty years, the Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Blade Technique was upgraded to its strongest secret method.

"The Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Knife Technique is a secret method created solely based on the principles of metal."

"If I want to create the strongest fusion technique myself, following the proper steps probably won't work; I can only try an unconventional approach!"

"How about we create a secret technique based on the Five Elements Integration Law?"

Ye Xingkong kept thinking, and ideas gradually formed in his mind.

However, the Five Elements Integration Law is too profound and complex. Even grasping just a little bit of it is much more difficult than comprehending the entire law of space.

"Directly creating the secret method for the fusion of the five elements is too difficult; let's simplify the steps."

"First, create your own five strongest secret techniques: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Then, combine them together, and you'll be done!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to take action.

Creating the strongest secret technique of the universe master was not difficult for him; it was something he could easily master.

The principles of metal already exist in the "Nine Revolutions Geng Metal Knife Technique," so there is no need to create one yourself.

He spent fifty years developing the "Nine Revolutions Fire Blade Technique" based on the Law of Fire.
The Law of Water, after forty years of research, created the "Nine Revolutions Gui Water Knife Technique";
The Law of Wood, which took about seventy years, created the "Nine Revolutions Yi Wood Knife Technique";
The Law of Earth, approximately 140 years ago, created the "Nine Revolutions Earth Knife Technique".

"It took about three hundred years to complete the five secret techniques, all of which are the strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe."

"Next, we will integrate the five secret techniques together."

"This is also the most difficult step."

Ye Xingkong's eyes flickered between bright and dim, completely absorbed in the moment.

Rumble~
He had only comprehended half of it when he suddenly soared into the sky, his Panwu clone disintegrating into a chaotic void.

A unique innate technique, creating chaos within itself!
Panwu's clone can transform into "chaos," and in this state, it will be easier to comprehend the laws of fusion.

"Hmm~"

"Under these conditions, it is indeed much easier to study the secret method of the fusion of the five elements, much faster!"

Ye Xingkong was overjoyed.

However, the energy required to maintain this 'self-contained chaos' state is also astonishing.

Panwu's divine body, which spans 100,000 kilometers, can only be maintained for ten years!

Ten years is a very long time in the blink of an eye during a battle.

However, when it comes to studying combat techniques, it can take millions or even hundreds of millions of years, so ten years is simply too short.

"Fortunately, I have the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass."

"Otherwise, being forced to exit the 'chaotic' state halfway through studying the secret technique would be too unpleasant!"

Ye Xingkong thought with a sense of relief. (End of Chapter)
