Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

"did not expect……"

"The founder of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has actually joined my Hongmeng Daoist Temple."

Ye Xingkong watched the F-class spaceship sail away, his expression unusually splendid.

He hadn't really noticed that.

Since establishing the Hongmeng Dojo, Ye Xingkong has basically been hands-off, and he only knows a few of the more important members of his subordinates.

Despite possessing immortal strength, the Black Dragon's status within the Hongmeng Dojo is actually quite ordinary.

After all, after tens of thousands of years of development, the Hongmeng Dojo now has tens of thousands of immortal powerhouses, many of whom have been granted the titles of marquis or king.

Black Dragon, a military lord at the peak of immortality, is not particularly conspicuous in the Hongmeng Dojo.

Of course, it's just that they're inconspicuous among immortal powerhouses.

For the vast majority of ordinary life forms in the universe, immortality is already an eternal existence that must be looked up to.

"Tens of thousands of immortals..."

Ye Xingkong murmured to himself, nodding in satisfaction.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and unknowingly, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has gradually developed into a colossal entity in the universe.

In terms of overall strength, it has even surpassed the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

It should be noted that the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler only has a little over ten thousand Immortals under his command.

However, it took the Qianwu Universe Kingdom an incredibly long time to accumulate more than 10,000 immortal powerhouses, while the Hongmeng Dojo only took tens of thousands of years!

"More than ten thousand immortals are enough to contend for a cosmic kingdom."

"But there is still a long way to go before we can rival the five major human powers!"

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but shook his head.

The five top human powers each have a cosmic ruler.

Of course, Ye Xingkong's strength is actually not much different from that of the Lord of the Universe, and the Hongmeng Dojo can be considered to have the Lord of the Universe presiding over it.

But what about the large number of strong individuals at the grassroots and mid-level levels?

The Hongmeng Dojo is far from sufficient.

It should be noted that the five top human powers are spread across the 1008 universes, and the number of powerful individuals under their command is terrifying.

Taking the Virtual Universe Company as an example, its branch in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has three Marquis-level Immortals, 322 Ordinary Immortals, and approximately 8.2 million important members below the Immortal level.

One branch of the cosmic kingdom dispatched more than three hundred immortals.

1008 cosmic kingdoms are equivalent to more than 300,000 immortal beings.

These are just the branch office powerhouses; the real unparalleled powerhouses of the Virtual Universe Company are actually concentrated at headquarters!

This demonstrates just how astonishing and terrifying the power of Virtual Universe Company truly is!
Although the Hongmeng Dojo is only just beginning to show its potential, it is still too immature compared to the five major human powers.

The Green God Project is clearly epoch-making, so why can't it be rapidly promoted within the 1008 universe of humanity?
A major reason is that the number of powerful individuals in the Hongmeng Daoist Temple is insufficient to expand across the 1008 universes and establish branches in each one.

"I possess the Five Elements Universe, which can be considered the most superior cultivation conditions in the universe."

"Unfortunately, the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is too small. With its limited population, it will be very difficult for it to develop into the sixth largest human power."

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but frown.

A small territory means a small population and slow development; this is a very obvious principle.

The human race fights daily with the demon race, the machine race, and the insect race, engaging in protracted inter-race wars, all for the sake of territorial expansion.
"We need to think of a way to expand the base of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple."

"At the very least, if we could select geniuses within the 1008 universe like the five major powers do, the speed of cultivating strong individuals would be much faster!"

A thoughtful look flashed across Ye Xingkong's eyes.

Rumble~
"Ok?"

Just as Ye Xingkong was deep in thought, a special aura descended, causing the entire Ancient Origin Star to tremble.

"This is the aura of the fundamental laws of the universe..."

"Someone has broken through to the Universe Venerable Realm?"

Ye Xingkong's gaze fell on the Ancient Origin Star, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

At this very moment, on the ancient star.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One by one, immortal gods exuding powerful auras flew out, hovering in the void, gazing at the center where the aura of the universe's fundamental laws was strongest—a supreme ancient palace.

A five-colored vortex appeared in the sky above the palace.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth resonated with each other, giving rise to an even more noble and majestic aura of the 'Spatial Origin Law'. At the core of the five-colored vortex... was a void, like a mysterious passage connecting to the origin of the universe, with endless divine power directly entering the ancient palace.

"Who broke through?"

"That's the Primordial Dao Palace. Could it be that the Dao Lord has broken through?"

"Who is this person who has actually comprehended the complete laws of space and become a cosmic venerable one?"

Above the ancient star, figures, some radiating flames, some entwined with lightning, and some surrounded by flowing water, rose up, all watching this scene with shock and envy.

All immortal beings ultimately aim to become cosmic supreme beings.

Unfortunately, they were all stuck at that step for countless years, all longing for this day to come.

"Rumor has it that although the Dao Lord is known as the Primordial Venerable, he is actually only a King. Could it be that he has finally broken through today?"

"The Dao Lord already possessed the strength of a Universe Venerable during the King-Sealing stage; once he breaks through, his strength will become even more incredible!"

"The Dao Lord... is an extremely powerful being even in the universe!"

On the ancient star, the faces of the immortals flashed with fanaticism as they looked at the supreme palace in the sky, their eyes filled with worship.

In fact, Ye Xingkong broke through to the Universe Venerable level tens of thousands of years ago, but because he was too low-key, the outside world did not know this.

Now, when they see someone on Ancient Origin Star breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, they all subconsciously assume it's Ye Xingkong who broke through.

……

A moment later, all the fluctuations subsided.

Ye Xingkong appeared outside a cultivation palace, a faint smile on his face.

squeak~
The ancient gate opened.

A graceful figure in purple looked at Ye Xingkong, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes.

"After ten thousand years of seclusion, I have finally succeeded in breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable."

Huanling smiled slightly, feeling very happy.

The universe is vast and boundless, giving birth to countless living beings, all of whom embark on this path of cultivation to become powerful.

But how many of them can ultimately become supreme beings in the universe?
Now, she can be considered to have truly joined the ranks of the universe's strongest beings!

"Congratulations, Venerable Illusionary Spirit."

Ye Xingkong held Huanling's fair little hand, a joyful smile on his face.

Given Phantom Spirit's potential and talent, theoretically speaking, the possibility of him becoming a Universal Master is actually quite small.

After all, in the original story, she was only on the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, not even reaching the peak of the Kinghood.

However, "potential" is something that is difficult to define clearly.

A powerful individual cultivated for billions of years in the primordial universe, only to be stopped at the level of becoming a king and achieving immortality.
But if he were on the Origin Continent, he could easily become a true god!
So, is this powerful figure's potential to become an "immortal king" or a true god? The circumstances are different!
The conditions are different!
The final upper limit will naturally be different!
After Ye Xingkong established the Hongmeng Dojo, he basically opened up the supply of the most top-level cultivation resources to Huanling.

At Tianyuan Mountain, one can comprehend the laws of nature and temper one's will at the Reincarnation Platform.

Life Evolution Elixir elevates the genetic level of life.

Various inheritances and secret manuals from the Seven Towers Realm;
……

Under such incredible conditions, even an ordinary person has a high probability of becoming a cosmic master, let alone a phantom spirit!

"Ling'er, judging from your divine body's aura, it seems that it has not yet reached its full potential."

"How much divine power did you absorb this time?"

Ye Xingkong pulled Huanling into his arms, playing with her purple, fluffy fox tail, and asked with a smile.

"Hate!"

"We're an old married couple, why are you doing this?"

Huanling blushed, wagged her tail in dissatisfaction, and whispered.

"This time, when I broke through to the Universe Venerable, although I took advantage of the descent of the Origin Law to absorb it with all my might, I only reached 15% of my peak divine body."

Huanling shook her head and said, feeling a little regretful.

Before she even went into seclusion to break through to the Universe Venerable level, Ye Xingkong had already refined 10081 Life Evolution Potions, raising her life gene level to 10081 times, and her divine body to the height of a perfect divine body of 100,000 kilometers.

Even if such a massive divine body desperately tries to absorb divine power, it would be difficult to reach 100%.

After all, the time available to absorb divine power when breaking through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable is very limited.

"I've also prepared a gift for you this time as you break through to the Venerable Realm."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Huanling blinked her beautiful purple eyes, a look of anticipation appearing on her pretty face.

Ye Xingkong stretched out his hand, and a crystal-clear emerald green bead suddenly appeared in his palm.

Hu~hu~
This emerald green bead exudes a rich life force, as if it were alive, and is even breathing slowly.

"What is this?"

Huanling tilted her head and asked in a rather cute way.

"This is Crystal Cloud Vine."

"A cosmic-level auxiliary plant life form. As for its effects, you will naturally know after you recognize it as your master."

Ye Xingkong smiled mysteriously.

Crystal Cloud Vine is a new variety he has developed over the years, which can be understood as a special evolution of Cloud Vine.

Back then, after Ye Xingkong upgraded the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, he made several more attempts to cultivate a Cosmic Venerable-level Cloud-Moving Vine.

but……

After wasting several medium-grade Green God Potions, several attempts to break through to the next level ended in failure.

After studying it, Ye Xingkong deduced that the life potential of the Moyun Vine was limited and insufficient to break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

Even the most perfect Cloud Vine with 360 vines can only reach the level of immortality at its strongest, due to the limitations of its life genes!
However, as a grandmaster of alchemy, could Ye Xingkong be stumped by such a small problem?
After several improvements, Ye Xingkong cultivated a new type of cloud vine, which has even greater potential than the thousand-vine star-eating grass.

Because the vines of this 'Crystal Cloud Vine' are as bright and transparent as white crystal, it is named 'Crystal Cloud Vine'.

"This kind of plant life is unique in the universe!"

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

Because the Crystal Cloud Vine was cultivated by him through various medicines, it cannot reproduce naturally on its own.

Therefore, the Crystal Cloud Vine cannot be considered a race; it is merely an isolated case!
"This……"

Huanling extended her slender, fair fingers, and the moment she touched the Crystal Cloud Vine, she imprinted a divine mark, thus completing the recognition of her as its master.

Wow~
The crystal cloud vines flowed like water, rapidly merging into the phantom spirit's divine body.

At the same time, Huanling also heard a childish female voice in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Master~Master~"

"I'm so happy to finally see my master!"

Huanling blinked. After recognizing her as her master, she also understood the function of the Crystal Cloud Vine.

First, there is the sharing of divine power. The divine power of the host and the plant life can be freely converted, which is equivalent to a super-sized power bank.
The second ability is called "Armor Conversion," which means that the Crystal Cloud Vine can fuse with any metal armor treasure. After fusion, the defensive capabilities of the treasure armor will be greatly enhanced.

A regular treasure armor can be upgraded to a high-grade treasure armor!

The high-grade treasure armor can be upgraded to the top-grade treasure armor!
Of course, no matter how powerful the Crystal Cloud Vine is, it is ultimately just a cosmic venerable being, and strengthening a high-grade treasure armor is already its limit.

Even so, its ability to save its life is nothing short of abnormal.

"Now that you have broken through to the level of the Universe Venerable, and at a level of 10081 times the life gene level, your divine body foundation is equivalent to that of a newly broken Universe Lord."

"With the Crystal Cloud Vine on your body, you will have a certain ability to protect yourself even when facing the Lord of the Universe."

Ye Xingkong's voice was gentle.

In terms of offensive and defensive capabilities, Crystal Cloud Vine is actually far inferior to Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, but its defensive and life-saving abilities are simply phenomenal.

This is also why Ye Xingkong chose to give the Crystal Cloud Vine to Huanling.

As the most important person in your life, it doesn't matter if you're a little weak, but staying alive is the most important thing!
"correct!"

"After I break through to the Universe Venerable Realm this time, I estimate I will have to return to my Fox Clan's sacred land."

"After all, I am the third Universe Venerable of the Fox Clan!"

Huanling nestled in Ye Xingkong's arms, acting coquettishly, when suddenly she remembered something and her expression turned serious.

"The fox clan..."

Ye Xingkong nodded, not at all surprised.

The fox clan is a relatively important branch of the human race.

The Chimei clan, to which Huanling belongs, is actually a branch of the Fox clan.

Similarly, there are the Dragonmen, Apemen, Snakemen, and so on.

However, the overall strength of the fox clan is only average among human races, and it is incomparable to the dragon race.

Throughout human history, many powerful individuals have emerged from the fox clan, among whom only two have become Universe Venerables.

This breakthrough in Illusion Spirit, making him the third Universe Venerable of the Fox Clan, is naturally a significant event for the Fox Clan.

According to the tradition of the Fox Clan, every time a Universe Venerable is born, all the powerful members of the Fox Clan must be summoned for a grand ceremony.

At the same time, the Chimei clan, to which Huanling belongs, can also become the third most powerful clan among the fox clans!
"The two cosmic venerables of the fox clan are the ruler of the Southern Fox Universe Kingdom and Venerable Youli of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Their strength is only considered average."

A series of messages flashed through Ye Xingkong's mind.

In reality, it's not that these two cosmic venerables are weak, but rather that Ye Xingkong is currently too strong.

In his eyes, let alone a Universe Venerable, even a Universe Lord like the Lord of Sirius was considered a very weakling. (End of Chapter)
