Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Whoosh!
A streak of dark green light pierced through the starry sky.

The Undying Venerable stood in the void, glanced back at the ancient and mysterious Ancient Origin Star, and a hint of shock flashed deep in his eyes.

"What did I originally plan to do here?"

"Looks like they've come looking for trouble!"

The Undying Venerable, recalling the massive deal he had just negotiated worth trillions of Chaos Yuan, fell silent.

The overall strength of the Hongmeng Dojo... was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

From the perspective of the powerful alone, there are at least three cosmic venerables who have been revealed.

As for Venerable Hongmeng Ye Xingkong, the sense of pressure he exerted on the Undying Venerable was definitely at the level of a universe master.

"The Venerable Hongmeng... no, he should be called the Lord of Hongmeng!"

"Even if he hasn't broken through to the level of a Universe Lord, he definitely has the strength of a Universe Lord."

"This, this is unbelievable! He's only been cultivating for a few years?"

The shock in the heart of the Immortal Venerable was beyond words.

Although Ye Xingkong did not actually make a move on Ancient Origin Star just now, he only used the Zhou Tian Star Formation to suppress the Undying Venerable.

However, in a duel between super strong individuals, a great deal can be determined simply by observing some minor details.

"If Venerable Hongmeng truly possesses the strength of a universe master, could he be the second master of the Divine Axe?"

An incredible thought flashed through the mind of the Immortal Venerable.

Lord of the Divine Axe!

That's the most monstrous and heaven-defying genius since the birth of the human race, and he definitely has the potential to become one of the strongest in the universe.

"At this point, how to deal with the Hongmeng Dojo is no longer something that I, a cosmic overlord, can decide."

"I've already informed the old man, the Lord of Void Gold, about the news from Ancient Origin Star through the virtual universe. As for the rest, let the Lord of the Universe above deal with it!"

"Especially the Primal Force series of potions newly developed by the Hongmeng Dojo, which are of even greater significance to my Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, no, to the entire human race, even more so than the Green God series!"

The Undying Venerable took a deep breath, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the starry sky.

······
Ancient Origin Star.

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged under the ancient tree, took a sip of tea, and looked extremely calm.

"Daoist!"

"Are you just going to let the Undying Venerable leave so easily?"

The Ancient Illusion Venerable, dressed in a seven-colored crystal armor, respectfully poured tea for Ye Xingkong, his expression showing a hint of resentment.

After all, the Undying Venerable's arrogant intrusion into Ancient Origin Star had secretly displeased many powerful figures in the Hongmeng Dojo.

If Ye Xingkong hadn't personally given the order, some of the universe venerables would have been unable to resist taking action.

"The Undying Venerable is just a pawn. Do you really think he's willing to offend my Hongmeng Daoist Temple?"

"Besides, didn't you already rip off the Giant Axe Arena by a hefty sum when you were negotiating the potion trade with him before?"

Ye Xingkong had a faint smile on his lips.

"That's because the potions from my Hongmeng Daoist Temple are incredibly potent, unique in the entire universe. If they want them, they can only buy them from us!"

"The Ancient Illusion Venerable said with a smirk."

Monopolies generate enormous profits that are extremely dangerous.

Among the five top powers of humanity, the Giant Axe Arena is considered to be on par with the strongest being in the universe because it is presided over by the strongest being in the universe. The Virtual Universe Company, on the other hand, does not have the strongest being in the universe, but it can stand on equal footing with the Giant Axe Arena. The main reason for this is the monopoly of the Virtual Universe.

"The rain is coming."

Ye Xingkong downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

The Immortal Venerable's trip to Ancient Origin Star was actually a test by the five major powers.

When the Hongmeng Daoist Temple was first established, it was very weak, and the highest levels of humanity paid almost no attention to it.

Now, 100,000 years later, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has developed into a force to be reckoned with, and has inevitably attracted more attention.

"Hopefully... those people won't go too far."

Ye Xingkong looked into the distance, his eyes as calm as the tranquil starry sky.

······
virtual universe.

A special dimension belonging exclusively to the Giant Axe Arena.

A magnificent golden palace, like an eternal sun radiating light and heat, floats high in the sky.

"The Lord of False Metal".

The Undying Venerable flew in in a great hurry, surrounded by countless dark green vines.

However, as soon as he stepped into the palace, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

In the majestic and sacred golden palace, two rows of golden thrones stood. Except for the central throne, which was empty, each of the other thrones had a phantom emanating a terrifying aura.

"Good heavens! What kind of formation is this?!"

"All five Universe Lords of my Giant Axe Arena are here!"

A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the Immortal Venerable.

Although this is a virtual universe, for a powerful being like the Lord of the Universe, it is only necessary to send a wisp of consciousness into the virtual universe, which does not affect exploration or cultivation at all.

However, the Undying Venerable knew very well that unless something major happened, the Lord of Void Gold would never easily summon all the Lords of the Universe.

"Immortal, you've come."

The Lord of Void Gold sat on the first throne on the right, his face serious and majestic, and said in a deep voice, "Tell all the Lords of the Universe about the Ancient Origin Star."

"Yes."

Although the Undying Venerable is usually very arrogant, he is quite obedient in front of the five Universe Lords.

"My mission to the Hongmeng Dojo is on behalf of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena!"

"Although I know that Ancient Origin Star is a den of dragons and tigers, as a member of the Giant Axe Arena, I still have no fear whatsoever..."

The Immortal Venerable spoke fluently and quickly recounted the events in detail.

Of course, the fact that he was suppressed by Ye Xingkong was completely ignored through a series of artistic embellishments.

"What! Venerable Hongmeng actually possesses the strength of a universe master?"

"Immortal Venerable One, is this truly the truth?"

"You will live, but you will be held accountable for what you said!"

All the universe lords in the Giant Axe Arena showed expressions of shock, turning their gazes to the Undying Venerable, their voices echoing like thunder in the hall.

"That's absolutely true!"

"How dare I, a supreme being of the universe, deceive you lords of the universe?"

As the Undying Venerable was being watched by several universe lords, it felt as if mountains were pressing down on his soul, and he instantly felt immense pressure.

"All right!"

At this moment, the Lord of Void Gold suddenly spoke, frowning as he said, "The fact that our human race has gained another Lord of the Universe is a blessing for the human race! What's with all of you making those faces?"

"Xu Jin, you've misunderstood. We're just very surprised."

"It seems that Venerable Hongmeng has been cultivating for less than 200,000 years, yet he has broken through to become the Lord of the Universe. It's unbelievable."

"Could it be... another master of the divine axe?"

The other four universe lords in the Giant Axe Arena quickly offered explanations.

"Gentlemen, you must not forget this."

"Before the Lord of the Divine Axe became the Lord of the Universe, Venerable Hongmeng was the strongest genius of our human race in this era!" the Lord of Void Gold said quietly.

Upon hearing this, the other universe lords were also slightly taken aback.

Yes!

Back when Ye Xingkong obtained the title of "Hongmeng Venerable" with his immortal body, the Lord of the Divine Axe was only King Panwu!
It was only because Ye Xingkong kept a low profile and Panwu's clone did one earth-shattering thing after another in the universe that people gradually forgot about him.

Hongmeng Venerable was a ruthless person who could suppress Panwu King and Kedi with a flick of his hand, so it doesn't seem too surprising that he broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

“If Venerable Hongmeng possesses the strength of a universe master, then we cannot be too forceful in our attitude.”

"The potions possessed by the Hongmeng Dojo are of immense value, beneficial to the development of the entire human race. They should contribute them."

"This matter requires equal negotiation; we cannot allow a repeat of the Yan Emperor incident!"

After careful consideration, the rulers of the universe spoke one after another.

Once one reaches the level of a cosmic master, their status and power become completely different.

For any race, the Lord of the Universe is the absolute pillar and foundation.

Ye Xingkong's display of the strength of a universe master means that he has the qualifications to be on equal footing with them.

Moreover, the Yan Emperor incident had occurred among the human race, so these universe lords dared not push them too hard.

"Equal negotiation..."

"Yes, that's what the teacher meant too."

A strange light flashed in the golden pupils of the Lord of False Gold as he spoke very slowly.

"What does 'The Founder of the Giant Axe' mean?"

The other universe lords' expressions changed slightly, and then they all nodded.

The cosmic rulers of the Giant Axe Arena lineage naturally all follow the lead of the Giant Axe founder.

No one can deny what he said.

"The attitude of my Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena towards the Hongmeng Dojo is thus settled."

"I hope you all understand that while conflicts of interest are permissible within our human race, we must unite on matters of principle!"

The Lord of Void Gold's gaze sharpened as he slowly swept over the four Universe Lords present.

There was a hint of warning in that gaze.

"That's natural; everything should prioritize the interests of the community."

"We can still see things clearly on matters of principle."

The other four cosmic lords quickly expressed their opinions.

"Next, let's talk about the Force series of potions."

"This theory of potions is even more important to the human race than the Green God series."

The Lord of False Gold spoke expressionlessly and in a dignified tone.

The Green God series of potions, while also possessing extremely powerful effects, are a complete game-changer compared to some related potions in the primordial universe.

However, this agent only targets plant life, and its application range is not actually that wide.

After all, plant life is ultimately just an external thing, a kind of auxiliary fighting partner.

For a strong person, the most important thing is their own strength.

Moreover, the emergence of the Green God series of agents has greatly reduced the cost of cultivating plant life to only one-tenth of the original cost.

However, even at just one-tenth of the price, it's not something an ordinary expert can afford.

It's like the difference between 100 million and 10 million; it's a tenfold difference, but for ordinary people, it's still a huge sum of money.

The Force series of potions are completely different.

This potion is one that can truly penetrate every aspect of the cultivation of powerful humans, and it may even become a "necessity" in the near future.

From world lords to apprentices, everyone needs to absorb primal energy from the universe to evolve themselves.

While it's true that the path to becoming a strong person becomes more about comprehending the laws as you progress, this doesn't mean that accumulating energy is unimportant.

No matter how high your understanding of the laws is, it is still very difficult for a first-tier cosmic-level martial artist to defeat a peak cosmic-level martial artist.

After all, the difference in energy between the first level of the cosmic level and the peak of the cosmic level is more than five hundred times.

No matter how profound one's understanding of the laws, it is difficult to make up for the gap in energy.

"According to the official information of the Hongmeng Dojo, the price of using the Force series of potions for cultivation is only one-tenth of the original price, and the cultivation speed is on average ten times faster."

Upon hearing these words from the Lord of Illusory Gold, the entire hall fell silent.

The other four cosmic rulers of the Giant Axe Founder looked at each other, speechless with shock.

One-tenth, what does that mean?
This means that with the existing resources of the human race, it is possible to cultivate ten times more powerful individuals than before.

Although they were all powerful individuals below the Immortal level.

However, with the base number tenfold larger, naturally more immortal beings are born.

With more immortals, there will be more cosmic venerables and more cosmic lords.

For the vast size of the entire human race, even one tenth, or even one hundred millionth, is an extremely large astronomical figure.

"If the Force series of potions are real."

"It is of no less significance to my people than acquiring an extremely powerful treasure."

The Lord of the Void Gold's calm voice echoed in the hall.

The difference lies in the fact that the significance of supreme treasures to the human race is explicit.

Once a supreme treasure is possessed, the top combat power of the human race can be elevated to another level.

The effects of the Force series of potions are invisible, and their effects are not immediately apparent.

But after ten million epochs, one hundred million epochs, or even after this cycle ends, the human race might have a dozen or more universe lords.

"The Force series of potions is of great importance, even concerning the entire human race."

"I'm afraid my Great Axe lineage alone is not enough to solve this problem. It will require Master to convene a Great Axe meeting."

The Lord of False Gold spoke in a steady voice.

"Convene the Great Axe Conference?"

"Since we can't be too forceful, we can only purchase medicine from the Hongmeng Dojo."

"The entire human race, from world lords to apprentices, requires the use of Force-based potions for cultivation. The benefits involved are simply unimaginable."

"Given the nature of the Hongmeng Dojo, they probably have even more precious medicines hidden away, only available to internal members."

"The Hongmeng Dojo is truly about to rise!"

"There's no way around it; the two major series of potions controlled by the Hongmeng Dojo are both incredibly powerful."

The five cosmic lords spoke one after another, their tone filled with emotion.

After this small meeting, at least the higher-ups of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena reached a consensus and generally adopted a supportive attitude towards the Hongmeng Dojo.

"Everyone, please don't leave."

"I reckon the teacher will be calling a major meeting soon, let's go together then."

The Lord of False Gold glanced around and said with a smile.

"Alright."

"At the meeting, our Giant Axe lineage will support the Hongmeng Dojo. Maybe when we buy potions, Venerable Hongmeng... no, I should say Lord Hongmeng will give us a discount."

"Haha! You wish!" (End of Chapter)
