Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

"Can't kill you? You're so confident!"

Ye Xingkong frowned and sneered, "Lord of the Giant Rock, although your defensive capabilities are incredibly strong, it's impossible for your divine body to remain unscathed after withstanding my full-force axe strike!"

Ye Xingkong was very confident in his attack.

The combat technique "Starfire Illuminates the Sky" has reached the fifth level!
The weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Axe, is only a top-tier treasure, which is a disadvantage... Generally speaking, even the worst fifth-tier universe lords use peak-tier treasure weapons, or even the finest among peak-tier treasures.

However, Ye Xingkong's life gene level is ten thousand times higher, and the difference in the quality of his divine power can, to some extent, make up for the difference in the treasure.

In short, Ye Xingkong is a true fifth-order universe master.

Not to mention dealing with the Lord of Giant Rocks, even if the Lord of Chaos City came, he could still go toe-to-toe with him for a few moves.

"Haha, you're right!"

"A fifth-level attack can indeed cause some damage to my divine body!"

"But my divine body is a full 100,000 kilometers tall. How many attacks would it take to bring me down?"

The Lord of the Giant Rock said smugly and confidently, "I'm afraid the divine power you expended to use your secret technique is less than the divine power I annihilated!"

"Humans, don't waste your time!"

The Lord of the Rock roared arrogantly, laughing as he said, "By the way, thanks to your axe strike just now, I was sent flying hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, finally escaping the entanglement of the fire giant!"

These fire giants are actually quite weak in attack, at most comparable to the weakest universe master, and pose no threat to ordinary universe masters.

It is only because they can teleport that they have a great advantage in speed, which makes them so difficult to deal with.

"How arrogant!"

"I don't believe I can't cure you!"

Ye Xingkong laughed loudly and swung the dark golden Dragon Slayer Axe in his hand once more.

brush!
The ancient dragon patterns on the Dragon Slayer Axe lit up, and thousands of golden axe blades converged to form a mighty golden river, eventually coalescing into a giant axe tens of thousands of kilometers high.

"cut!"

Ye Xingkong roared.

"Humph!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Even the Lord of the Giant Rock was somewhat intimidated by such a devastating attack, but he remained defiant.

He is a special life form of rock, born with a very special divine body that can directly weaken material attacks to one-thousandth of their original size.

At the same time, the armor of the Lord of Giant Rock is also a top-grade treasure armor that can reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth.

With the two combined, even the strongest attack hitting the Lord of the Giant Rock would only have one hundred millionth of its power.

No wonder, even a powerful figure like the Lord of Chaos City couldn't be bothered to deal with the Lord of Giant Rock.

bang~
The Dragon Slayer Axe struck the massive divine body of the Rock Lord with solid force.

but……

The violent and domineering divine power, carrying boundless destructive force, was weakened layer by layer through the supreme armor and the divine body's defense, until its power became quite limited.

"Ha ha!"

"It only annihilated one ten-thousandth of my divine body!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock was overjoyed.

His divine body was enormous; only one ten-thousandth of it was annihilated, and his aura appeared unchanged from the outside.

In contrast, Ye Xingkong's divine body only remained a few thousand meters tall, making him seem like a tiny speck in front of the Lord of Giant Rocks.

"So what if you are a fifth-order universe lord?"

"You can't hurt me, but I'll wear you down!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock burst into laughter.

"Lord of the Rock, don't be so smug!"

"If one move doesn't work, I'll try another!"

Ye Xingkong snorted coldly, directly burning his divine body, and swung his axe again.

He has traversed the universe for countless years and has never encountered such a hard tortoise shell!

"Come and fight!"

Ye Xingkong has now completely clashed with the Lord of the Giant Rock.

He possesses the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, his divine power is ten thousand times that of the Lord of the Universe, and his divine body is ten thousand kilometers tall!
In terms of divine power, who can compare to him?
boom! boom! boom!
Ye Xingkong remained silent, only swinging his Dragon-Slaying Axe relentlessly.

An ax!
Ten axes!

Hundred axes!

A thousand axes!

……

Ye Xingkong unleashed the Starfire Blaze technique thousands of times. Each swing of his axe was not a mechanical repetition, but rather a result of research and experimentation.

Through repeated attacks, we continuously refine the combat technique "Starfire Shines in the Sky".

boom! boom! boom!
Under the bombardment of thousands upon thousands of times, the divine aura of the Lord of the Giant Rock was gradually weakening.

Each time, it can only weaken one ten-thousandth of the divine body.

A divine body with a ratio of one in ten thousand is completely negligible.

But what about ten thousand times?
Ten thousand times, that's annihilating 10% of the divine body!
"How come the body of the Human God Axe Master hasn't suffered any damage?"

As the battle continued, the Lord of the Giant Rock gradually began to panic.

Using a fifth-tier combat technique should theoretically consume a great deal of energy.

Among the super-strongest beings in the universe, no one has ever heard of someone casting a secret technique ten thousand times without their divine power weakening in the slightest!

However, even after Ye Xingkong used it ten thousand times, his divine body's aura remained completely unchanged.

"How can this be!"

"Could it be that he carries a clone with him, and this clone is extremely large, capable of replenishing his divine power at any time?"

The Lord of the Giant Rock thought to himself.

"Even if he has clones, the divine power of those clones is still limited!"

“Using a fifth-tier secret technique ten thousand times consumes an incredibly terrifying amount of divine power. Even if the Divine Axe Master’s clone is large, it would still consume a great deal of divine power.”

"I refuse to believe he can outlast me!"

A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Lord of the Giant Rock.

Even after withstanding 10,000 attacks, he still has 90% of his divine body remaining and can sustain himself for a long time.

"To bring me down, you'll need to cast the secret technique at least 90,000 more times!"

"I don't believe it anymore!"

"The Lord of the Divine Axe still possesses so much divine power!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock snorted coldly and continued to be bombarded by Ye Xingkong like a stubborn rock.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to resist.

The Lord of the Giant Rock is incredibly powerful in terms of physical defense, but his offensive capabilities are rather average.

His self-created combat technique was only at the level of the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, far too weak to harm Ye Xingkong at all.

……

As time went by, Ye Xingkong, like the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains, swung his giant axe time and time again.

Boom~Boom~Boom~
A giant golden axe seemed to pierce through the galaxy, radiating incomparably terrifying power.

Twenty thousand axes...

Thirty thousand axes...

Ye Xingkong was completely immersed in this incredibly profound axe technique, as if he were not fighting the Lord of the Giant Rock, but facing a whetstone.

suddenly!

The 30,001st axe blow!
With this swing of the axe, the golden giant axe phantom became more solid, seemingly different from before.

boom!
After the Lord of the Giant Rock received the 30,001st axe blow, his expression also changed drastically.

"what!"

"This axe blow... actually annihilated one fifty-thousandth of my divine body?"

"The Lord of the Divine Axe has actually broken through in strength during the battle!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with utter panic.

He didn't have a clone; he only dared to enter the Northern Nether Palace because of his strong defenses. If things continue like this, he might really perish.

"Not bad!"

"It wasn't for nothing that I painstakingly cast the secret technique 30,000 times; I've finally perfected it a bit more!"

Ye Xingkong's mind was as still as water, his eyes bright. Among the fifth-order secret techniques, there were naturally differences in power.

For example, the combat secret technique created by the Lord of Chaos City is definitely the most powerful secret technique among all the Lords of the Universe!
Ye Xingkong tried and studied the technique again and again, making the "Starfire Illuminates the Sky" move more perfect. Although its power did not reach a qualitative change, it was still increased by about 100%.

Previously, a single axe strike could only annihilate one ten-thousandth of the Rock Lord's divine body, but now a single axe strike can annihilate one fifty-thousandth of it.

"come on!"

"This tortoise shell only has 70% of its divine body left. If it is attacked more than 30,000 times, it will be completely destroyed!"

Ye Xingkong continued to immerse himself in perfecting the secret technique.

······
The Five Elements Universe.

Around the towering Tianyuan Mountain, billions of light-years high, eight supercontinents float.

Fire God Island.

A towering volcano, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, has its surrounding black rocks melt into magma, transforming into a vast ocean of lava.

The scorching temperature was enough to annihilate even the most revered beings in the universe.

The five avatars, dressed in white, sat cross-legged on a black ocean of lava with their eyes slightly closed.

"I didn't expect that I would have some talent in the law of fire and space fusion."

"Such great progress has been made in just one hundred years."

Ye Xingkong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as a lake.

[Fire-Air Fusion Law: 50000/200000]

"Maybe……"

"If I had achieved the status of the master of the universe by using the Fire and Void Dao, it might have been much simpler."

Ye Xingkong thought lightly in his heart.

Of course, the reason he found it easy to comprehend the law of fire and space fusion was entirely because the law of fusion of the five elements was more compatible with the five elements clone.

This principle applies not only to the Fire-Void Fusion Law, but also to the Wood-Void, Metal-Void, Water-Void, and Earth-Void Laws.

"At most another ten thousand years, I should be able to fully comprehend the laws of fire and space."

Ye Xingkong lowered his eyes, continuing to immerse himself in comprehending the laws.

Comprehending the laws of fire and space on the Island of the God of Fire is ten thousand times more efficient than in the outside world.

In other words, Ye Xingkong's hundred years of cultivation here is equivalent to a million years of cultivation in the primordial universe, so his progress is naturally very rapid.

······
Time flies.

A thousand years have passed since the twenty-seven cosmic lords from the nine forces entered the Northern Nether Palace.

A thousand years may be a long time for an ordinary life.

But for the Lord of the Universe, it is merely a fleeting moment of life.

During this thousand-year period, the Lord of the Universe, who entered the Northern Nether Palace, would occasionally reveal some information through his divine power avatar.

Among these events, news of the fall of some cosmic rulers also emerged.

For example, the news of the fall of the Lord of Qingfeng was spread by someone in the third hundred years;

In the five hundredth year, the Dark Lord of the Snow Frontier Alliance fell;
In the 800th year, the Lord of the Dead Star of the Northern Frontier Alliance fell.

Over the course of a thousand years, three cosmic lords have fallen, and all of them were merely avatars of those lords.

Of course, these are only the publicly known ones.

It's also possible that some cosmic rulers have perished, but no news has emerged.

Even so, among the numerous battles for supreme treasures in the history of the Primordial Star, the struggle for the Northern Nether Palace was not considered too brutal.

After all, the inner world of the Northern Nether Palace is simply too vast!

The twenty-seven Lords of the Universe are scattered among them, and the chances of them meeting are extremely small.

Even if they were to meet, it would be unlikely that the two universe masters would kill each other unless their strengths were vastly different.

At this moment.

The Northern Netherworld Palace, the second level, the "Flame Prison".

Thousands of golden axe shadows almost filled the space, as if transforming into a golden world.

"Lord of the Divine Axe!"

"We had no enmity whatsoever. Was it worth paying such a high price to kill me?"

"If you let me go, I promise I will never be an enemy of humans again!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock had bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice, and kept begging for mercy.

Ye Xingkong remained silent, continuing to swing the Dragon-Slaying Axe time and time again.

boom! boom! boom!
Under repeated bombardment, the Lord of the Giant Rock was extremely weak, with only 3% of his divine body remaining!
Despair! Utter despair!
The Lord of the Giant Rock never expected that Ye Xingkong could actually use a fifth-order secret technique tens of thousands of times.

Even more astonishingly, despite using the secret technique tens of thousands of times, his divine body's aura remained completely unchanged.

"abnormal!"

"How could such an abnormally powerful being be born in the universe?"

The Lord of the Giant Rock was filled with despair.

The divine power consumed by ten thousand fifth-order secret techniques is even equivalent to the total divine power of nearly a thousand universe lords with divine bodies tens of thousands of kilometers high.

Not to mention, Ye Xingkong used it more than 60,000 times!

boom!
At this moment, Ye Xingkong swung his axe again.

The power contained in this axe blow was subtly greater than that of the previous tens of thousands of blows.

"With this axe strike... he's actually made another breakthrough!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Once you reach the level of a universe master, making further progress becomes incredibly difficult.

Perhaps even after cultivating for billions of epochs, one's strength would not change.

However, in just a few hundred years, Ye Xingkong's secret technique has increased in power twice!

"call!"

"After more than 30,000 attempts... I finally managed to integrate the Five Elements Fusion Law into my axe technique!"

Ye Xingkong stopped swinging his giant axe, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

If we were to say that among the many laws he comprehended, the most powerful one is not the complete laws of time and space, nor the laws of the various beast god paths, but the law of the fusion of the five elements!

Although he only grasped a superficial understanding of the Five Elements Fusion Law, its power still absolutely crushed other laws.

"This axe blow... could actually annihilate even one ten-thousandth of the Rock Lord's divine body?"

"Not bad!"

Ye Xingkong nodded in satisfaction.

At first, he could only annihilate one ten-thousandth of the Giant Rock Lord's divine body with one axe, but now he can annihilate one ten-thousandth of the divine body with one axe.

Although the difference may seem small, it is equivalent to a tenfold increase in power!
"Lord of the Giant Rock..."

Ye Xingkong put away the Dragon Slayer Axe, looked at the Giant Rock Lord whose aura was extremely weak, and his expression turned slightly cold.

"Do you want to live or die?"

Ye Xingkong said indifferently.

"Want to live!"

"I also want to become the strongest in the universe, transcend reincarnation, and establish a holy land!"

"How could you possibly perish here so easily?"

"The Lord of the Giant Rock said in a deep, booming voice."

"To establish a holy land?"

"You really don't know your place!"

Ye Xingkong was somewhat amused.

However, he also knew that this was the nature of rock-type life forms—they were rather straightforward and seemed a bit silly.

Although the billions of races in the universe are roughly equal in intelligence after cultivating to the level of a universe master, their personalities are quite different.

Some races are born bloodthirsty, some are naturally kind, and some are more straightforward...

"The Master of the Divine Axe".

"If you let me go this time, I'll owe you a favor."

"From now on, I, Giant Rock, will never be an enemy of the human race. You can even ask me to leave the Thorn Ring Alliance and join the Grand Alliance!"

The Lord of the Giant Rock patted his chest and said confidently. (End of Chapter)
