Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Time flows like water.

In the blink of an eye, ten eras had passed.

For ordinary life in the universe, 100,000 years is perhaps the rise and fall of a civilization.

However, time seems to leave no trace on the ancient star.

This planet remains as prosperous as ever.

At this moment.

Inside a fiery palace filled with a seven-colored sea of ​​fire.

Ye Xingkong remained calm, his divine power surging like the sea as he controlled the flames.

After a long while, he withdrew his divine power and slowly took a refined treasure in his hand.

"This is a top-tier treasure among longswords, and it fits well with the laws of wood and space, so let's name it 'Azure Grain Sword'."

Ye Xingkong examined the treasured longsword in his hand. It was as green as a section of bamboo, its restrained nature revealing its sharpness. A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The total value of the materials used to craft this ultimate treasure is 190 treasure points, which is about one-tenth of the entire treasure's value.

In other words, if the Azure Lotus Sword is contributed to the human race, one can obtain approximately 1,800 Treasure Points.

As for the missing hundred Treasure Points, that's an extra cut taken by the clan.

"After ten thousand years of weapon forging, I haven't lost money overall; in fact, I've made a small profit!"

Ye Xingkong pondered carefully in his mind, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Back then, he spent all 18,000 Treasure Points, almost emptying out all the rare and precious materials in the human race's treasury that could be used to refine top-tier treasures.

Over the course of 100,000 years, this batch of refining materials has been almost entirely used up.

Ye Xingkong successfully crafted fifteen top-tier treasures, with a total value estimated to be at least 30,000 to 40,000 treasure points.

This was when Ye Xingkong first started refining top-tier treasures, and his success rate was low. He failed many times and wasted a lot of rare and precious materials.

Once you've leveled up your proficiency, the success rate of crafting ordinary peak-level treasures can basically reach 80%.

If one is to refine top-grade treasures such as peak palaces or peak domains, the success rate can reach about 40%.

"However, the real difficulty in refining a top-grade treasure lies not only in the refining process itself, but more importantly in the extreme rarity of the rare and precious materials required for the refining!"

"Such top-grade natural treasures are extremely rare in the primordial universe; even the entire human race couldn't put together a set."

Ye Xingkong shook his head and sighed softly.

Having reached this level, he can gradually understand the loneliness and desolation that masters like the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord felt.

The so-called ultimate treasure, the so-called treasure points...

It doesn't mean much to them anymore!
If Ye Xingkong wanted to earn Treasure Points, he could easily earn tens of thousands of Treasure Points by crafting just a few top-tier treasures.

Treasure Points are just a number.

What Ye Xingkong truly lacks is a top-grade, supreme treasure, an extremely powerful treasure!

Unfortunately, none of these treasures are in the human race's treasury.

"However, ten thousand years of weapon forging was not without its rewards. At least I managed to max out my proficiency in the third stage of weapon forging."

Ye Xingkong glanced at the proficiency panel.

[Name: Ye Xingkong]

[Realm: Lord of the Universe]

[Primordial Body Refinement Technique: 1/100000 (Fourth Level)]

[Primordial Soul Refining Technique: 1/100000 (Fourth Level)]

[Fire and Void Fusion Law: 200000/200000 (Perfect)]

……

[Life gene level: 10081 times]

[Self-created secret techniques: Five Elements Reincarnation Blade Technique, Endless Reincarnation, Starlight Shining Through the Nine Heavens, Annihilation]

After 100,000 years of cultivation, Ye Xingkong's progress was naturally enormous.

After all, his previous cultivation time combined didn't even amount to 100,000 years.

"The inheritance of weapon crafting and potion making has reached the third stage of perfection. However, the inheritance of the fourth stage still needs to be obtained from the Seven Towers Realm."

"Breaking through the fourth level of the Primordial Body Refining Technique allows me to create a fourth clone, but I haven't even finalized the creation of a third clone yet."

"Having broken through to the fourth level of the Primordial Soul Refining Technique, my comprehension and willpower have reached the God King realm."

Ye Xingkong looked away from the proficiency panel, his heart as calm as a lake.

The greatest progress in these 100,000 years has undoubtedly been the breakthrough in the Primordial Soul Refining Technique.

Comprehension and will at the level of a god-king...

It's safe to say that even if that old scoundrel Zuo Shan Ke came knocking on his door, Ye Xingkong wouldn't back down even a little bit.

In contrast, progress in the rules seems to be merely proceeding step by step.

He had fully comprehended the two major principles of the fusion of Wood and Fire;
He has already comprehended one-quarter of the concepts of Water Void, Earth Void, and Metal Void.

"Unbeknownst to me, I've almost become invincible throughout the entire primordial universe! I'm comparable to the original progenitor back then!"

"No, it should be even more heaven-defying than the original ancestor!"

Ye Xingkong looked up at the sky, a faint thought stirring in his heart.

Does this mean that before Luo Feng even appears, I'm going to become the biggest mastermind in the primordial universe?

"Luo Feng! Luo Feng!"

"If you don't get born soon, I'll take care of the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race one by one, and then you won't be needed anymore!"

Ye Xingkong couldn't help but smile.

Regarding his current point in time, he only determined a general range, roughly within a billion years from the beginning of the original timeline.

After all, the black dragon that founded the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in the original work had already become immortal tens of thousands of years ago.

"Black dragon..."

Ye Xingkong murmured to himself, a playful look on his face.

Since of his appearance, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had nothing to do with him. However, the immortal black dragon had joined the Hongmeng Dojo early on.

Ye Xingkong had been secretly keeping an eye on this village chief from the novice village in the original story.

"If I remember correctly, Black Dragon is doing quite well in this world, and his strength is almost at the peak of the Marquis level."

Ye Xingkong's gaze was incredibly profound, as if it could pierce through layers of time and space, landing on a tiny figure in the Five Elements Universe.

······
At this moment.

The Five Elements Universe, the Great Void Heaven.

Inside Taixu City, on the second-floor balcony of a small white building.

The black dragon sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly opened its eyes.

"Ten thousand years has passed so quickly?"

"It seems we have no choice but to leave the Great Void Heaven!"

A deep sense of reluctance flashed through Heilong's heart.

After all, once he returns to the original universe, his speed of comprehending the laws of space will plummet.

hum~ hum~ hum~
At this moment, the identity token in the black dragon's hand emitted a faint red fluctuation.

This means that his time in the Taixu Heaven has run out, and he must leave within the allotted time.

[Heilong]

[Number of floors in the Tower of Babel: 16]

[Number of times comprehending the Primordial Chaos Stele: 2]

[Duration: 0.5 days]

Black Dragon glanced at the information on his identity token, a hint of emotion appearing on his rugged face.

The 100,000 years he spent cultivating in the Five Elements Universe felt like a dream to him, and his progress was as fast as a rocket.

The first year after entering the Great Void Heaven.

Black Dragon became engrossed in comprehending the laws of space, accumulating knowledge and experience until he finally broke through to the level of Marquis and Immortal in one fell swoop.

If he can achieve immortality, he will truly be granted the title of Marquis and become an immortal.

...The tenth year.

Black Dragon gained a great deal from his first attempt to comprehend the Primordial Chaos Stele.

Furthermore, it was learned that for each level of the Tower of Babel that one could pass through, one would gain an opportunity to comprehend the Primordial Chaos Stele.

The so-called Taixu Chaos Stele is actually similar to the Chaos Stele in Chaos City, except that it was not created by any powerful being, but was naturally conceived by Taixu Heaven.

The effect of comprehending the Primordial Chaos Stele is the same as the effect of comprehending the Chaos Stele in Chaos City.

……

The first ten thousand years after entering the Great Void Heaven.

When the Black Dragon first broke into the Tower of Babel, he reached the fifteenth floor in one go, causing quite a stir in the Five Elements Universe.

From then on, the title "Black Dragon Marquis" gradually spread among the powerful figures of the Hongmeng Dojo!
……

Entering the 30,000th year of the Great Void Heaven.

Black Dragon used up several opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele and successfully passed the sixteenth floor of the Tower of Babel, reaching the advanced level of Marquis and Immortal in his understanding of the laws.

……

It has been 50,000 years since the beginning of the Great Void Heaven.

Black Dragon comprehended the second level of the "Purple Sun Body Refining Method," and his divine power amplitude reached twenty times.

……

The 80,000th year.

Having mastered the third level of the "Purple Sun Body Refining Method," the amplification of divine power reached thirty times!
……

"Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"But for me, it was nothing short of a complete transformation!"

Black Dragon slowly walked out of Taixu City, his heart filled with endless sighs and emotions.

He passed through the spatial passage and left the Taixu Heaven, returning once again to the Zhutian Palace, which he had visited 100,000 years ago.

The Hall of All Heavens remains unchanged, with only a green-robed messenger quietly waiting in the hall.

However, this green-robed envoy was not the same one who received the black dragon 100,000 years ago.

"Black Dragon Marquis!"

Upon seeing the black dragon appear, the green-robed envoy was taken aback at first, then quickly bowed and showed a respectful expression.

Over the past 100,000 years, the Black Dragon has risen to the rank of Marquis, and the title "Marquis of the Black Dragon" has gradually spread.

After all, even in the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, being granted the title of Marquis and Immortal is not something that can be considered an unknown figure.

"Ah."

Black Dragon nodded calmly.

But then he suddenly frowned and looked at the teleportation array located in the very center of the hall.

buzz~
A spatial ripple appeared in the void, and then a thousand powerful figures with different appearances appeared out of thin air on the teleportation array.

"Another batch of powerful individuals have entered the Five Elements Secret Realm!"

Heilong sighed inwardly.

Upon seeing the arrival of the group, the green-robed envoy quickly flew forward and began to explain the rules of the Five Elements Secret Realm to everyone.

A moment later, the thousand powerful individuals from all over the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield hurriedly departed.

"Is Lord Black Dragon about to leave the Five Elements Secret Realm?"

At this moment, the envoy in the green robe walked up with a smile.

"it's not true."

The black dragon shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I wish to go to the Reincarnation Platform."

"Reincarnation Platform?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the green-robed envoy, then he smiled and pointed in a direction, saying, "Go to the Reincarnation Platform, just keep walking along that passage."

"Thank you!"

Heilong cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left.

The Hall of All Heavens acts as a transit station in the Five Elements Secret Realm, connecting both Tianyuan Mountain and the Reincarnation Platform.

······
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The black dragon flew rapidly along the corridor and soon found itself at the summit of an endless mountain, where all that could be seen was an endless sea of ​​white clouds.

"Is this the Reincarnation Platform?"

Black Dragon frowned.

He saw nothing but a sea of ​​clouds.

"Who is coming?"

At that moment, a cold, hoarse voice echoed in the void.
As soon as the sound rang out, the black dragon felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave, as if my soul had been frozen.

"This...this is a Universe Venerable!"

Black Dragon was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the guardian of the Reincarnation Platform was actually a cosmic venerable being.

swoosh~
A blurry shadow gradually materialized in the distance.

A moment later, the black dragon finally got a clear look at the appearance of the cosmic venerable one before him.

He wore a gray robe and was over a hundred meters tall. He had two crystal-clear dragon horns on his forehead, one blue and one red, both with incredibly mysterious innate patterns.

"This is a powerful figure from the cultivation clan!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Black Dragon's eyes.

Having spent 100,000 years in the Five Elements Secret Realm, he naturally had some understanding of the Cultivation Clan.

The Xiu Clan is said to be an indigenous life form within the Five Elements Secret Realm, and there are also rumors that it was created personally by the Lord of Hongmeng Dao.

In short, the Xiu race is a very mysterious and powerful race!
Every cultivator is born with an extremely high affinity for the two laws of water and fire. As soon as they reach adulthood, they can reach the peak of the Domain Lord level, and their innate life gene level is eight times higher.

Born so extraordinary!

This has led to the emergence of many extremely powerful and terrifying individuals within the Xiu clan over the long course of history.

At least, the Black Dragon had cultivated in the Five Elements Secret Realm for 100,000 years and had seen many powerful cultivators comprehend the laws of space in the Void Heaven.

"Black Dragon Marquis?"

"Indeed, there is an opportunity to comprehend the Reincarnation Platform."

The cosmic venerable one swept his gaze over the black dragon, as if he could see right through him in an instant.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

Facing a cosmic venerable being, the black dragon was naturally extremely respectful and dared not overstep his bounds in the slightest.

"hehe!"

"I am the Lord of Ice and Fire."

The Ice and Fire Venerable chuckled in a hoarse voice.

"The Ice and Fire Venerable? That sounds a bit strange."

Black Dragon had some doubts.

Judging from the title of this cosmic sage, it seems that he has achieved great success in the two laws of water and fire.

only……

Nowadays, the mainstream schools of thought in the universe almost all follow the path of spacetime or the path of beast gods, and very few powerful individuals would bother to study these two lower-level laws.

"You know the rules of the Reincarnation Platform, right?"

The Ice and Fire Venerable spoke indifferently, and with a wave of his hand, the black dragon felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, and its whole body seemed to be suffocating.

The next moment, the world was spinning.

The two arrived at the edge of a bottomless pool.

"pool?"

Black Dragon was stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds, an expression of utter shock appeared on his face.

In this pool, which was no more than a hundred meters wide, there were hundreds of millions of orbs of light floating up and down. Within each orb, countless images flashed by like a carousel.

"This pool is called the Pool of the Heavens."

"Each ball of light is a world in itself."

The Ice and Fire Venerable seemed used to the astonished expressions of his visitors, and said calmly, "The myriad worlds are but a pool of water; only by leaping out of this pool can one be considered to have transcended."

"Is the world within this Pool of Heavens... all real?"

Black Dragon swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask a question that everyone would ask.

"nature."

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded and said, "Not only can we enter the myriad worlds through the Reincarnation Platform, but the powerful beings in the myriad worlds can also ascend to the Reincarnation Platform." (End of Chapter)
