Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Time flies.

After receiving the true god's inheritance from Lin Guo, Ye Xingkong devoted himself to the study of secret techniques.

With his god-king level comprehension and willpower, and with the guidance of the inheritance, his progress will be unimaginably fast.

Headquarters of the Hongmeng Daoist Academy, beneath the Enlightenment Tree.

"Sixth-tier secret technique...complete!"

A glint flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He slowly rose to his feet, an ancient chessboard floating in his hand, with 36,000 black and white pieces spinning like stars.

"It seems that the sixth-order secret technique is not as difficult as I imagined. It was accomplished in just five thousand years."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

Five thousand years...

For the first two thousand years, he mainly studied the secret technique "Ten Thousand Stars" that accompanied the Void Chessboard.

"Ten Thousand Stars" is a seventh-order secret technique with three layers of content.

The first level, Myriad Transformations, is a fifth-order power technique, belonging to the entry level;
The second level, Unity, possesses six levels of power;

The third level, Wanxing, has reached the seventh level of power.

Ye Xingkong focused intently on his studies, and in just two thousand years he had mastered the first and second levels of "Ten Thousand Stars," and even scratched the surface of the third level, "Ten Thousand Stars."

For the next three thousand years, they began to create their own secret techniques.

Based on the "Ten Thousand Stars" secret technique, Ye Xingkong encountered almost no bottlenecks and easily created a sixth-order axe technique called "Creation".

although……

The differences in content between the spiritual master's secret techniques and the axe techniques are so vast that they are completely unrelated.

With Ye Xingkong's extraordinary comprehension, once he crossed the threshold of the sixth rank, all types of secret techniques would be no challenge at all.

"The secret technique 'Creation' was created by Panwu's clone. As for the main body, the seventh-tier secret technique 'Myriad Stars' is sufficient."

"Although the 'Myriad Stars' technique is not an original creation, it is, after all, a matching technique for the Void Chessboard. It is most compatible with this supreme treasure and can unleash considerable power!"

A thoughtful look flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

If we truly consider what suits us best, it's ideal to create our own secret techniques and treasures.

However, rare treasures are hard to come by, and the most powerful treasures are even harder to come by!
Ye Xingkong was slightly excited to obtain the Void Chessboard, but as for refining a supreme treasure himself, that was a bit of a pipe dream.

"Next... I will create another sixth-order sword technique to add the Five Elements Avatar."

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

······
Ancient Origin Star, Hongmeng Dao Palace.

Although Ye Xingkong himself was cultivating in seclusion under the Enlightenment Tree, a divine power avatar remained outside for a long time.

After all, while cultivation is important, it hasn't reached the point where one must be fully focused and not relax even slightly.

"Father."

Ye Qing, clad in cyan armor, strode over, his face still handsome, but his expression now held a sharper and more composed air.

Ye Xingkong looked Ye Qing up and down, and nodded inwardly.

A greenhouse can never cultivate a towering tree; the path to strength requires the tempering of blood and fire.

Over the tens of thousands of years of life-and-death battles on the battlefields beyond the realm, Ye Qing has clearly grown considerably.

"Father, I'm here to receive my reward."

Ye Qing looked at Ye Xingkong and grinned, revealing a bright smile.

"Oh?"

Ye Xingkong was slightly surprised.

It has only been a little over 35,000 years since Ye Qing left the Hongmeng Dojo to go out and train.

In less than 40,000 years... he killed ten kings?
Ye Xingkong was somewhat surprised, not because he didn't believe Ye Qing, but because the speed was simply too fast.

Being crowned an immortal king, especially one from one of the three most powerful races—the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race—is no easy feat.

First, they are few in number.
The battlefield outside the domain is so vast, and the number of races involved is countless. Just searching for the whereabouts of the three major races' kings could take a long time.

Secondly, it is very difficult.

Even a peerless genius like Coty, who appears only once every hundred million epochs in the human race, could at most kill a Marquis during the World Lord era.

To kill a beginner-level Immortal King, one must at least possess the strength of a peak-level Immortal King!

Take steps back,
Even if Ye Qing's strength reaches the peak of the King-level realm, if he cannot be killed in a short time, the opponent can bring in a powerful expert to help.

In short, killing an immortal king is not that simple!
In the original novel, Luo Feng was initially able to kill Feng Wang mainly because of the legendary Femo Venom.

“I checked in the military system, and in the past 35,000 years, you have killed a total of twelve kings from three major races.”

"Qing'er, you did a great job!"

Ye Xingkong said with great satisfaction.

Ye Qing's performance in completing the mission in just over 30,000 years actually exceeded his expectations.

after all……

In Ye Xingkong's initial opinion, Ye Qing's talent was not particularly high.

He's at least not at Coty's level; he's probably about the same as Berlan, a genius that only appears once every ten thousand epochs in the human race.

The reason why he performed even better than Coty during his time as a Realm Lord was mainly because the cultivation conditions provided by Ye Xingkong were too extraordinary.

Top-tier treasure sets, life evolution potions, a ten-thousand-fold increase in the efficiency of comprehending the Five Elements and Universe Laws, and the Reincarnation Platform to temper one's will...

If it were Coty in his place, he would undoubtedly become the ruler of the universe, if not the master of the universe.

However, Ye Xingkong did not expect his son to be an exceptionally talented genius.

Come to think of it, the vast majority of people in the universe are ordinary people, so where do so many extraordinary geniuses come from?

A genius like Coty, who appears only once every hundred million epochs, means that in one cycle of reincarnation, the human population might only number around 100,000. How could he possibly be so lucky as to be reborn into Ye Xingkong's family?
"Father, I have some new questions about the second level of the Five Elements Spirit Sword."

Ye Qing was delighted to receive Ye Xingkong's praise and smiled as he replied.

With a thought, the five elemental swords behind him flew out one by one.

"But there's no harm in talking."

Ye Xingkong said.

"it is good."

Ye Qing nodded slightly, and then the five ancient flying swords radiating spiritual light trembled slightly, as if they had teleported, and in an instant they formed a sword formation filled with endless sword energy.

"Give it to me!"

Ye Qing suddenly shouted, a sharp glint in his eyes.

The next moment, the Five Elements Sword Formation in the void began to change subtly. Under the control of a powerful spiritual force, thousands of sword energies began to vaguely form a giant, multicolored sword.

This massive, ancient sword exudes a terrifying aura, its blade shimmering with five strange colors, as if it were a divine sword that came from the primordial chaos.

buzz~
However, before the "Five Elements Giant Sword" could even last a few seconds, it suddenly collapsed and scattered.

"pity!"

"The second form of the Five Elements Spirit Sword... still not working."

Ye Qing's face looked somewhat pale. He put away the Five Elements Spirit Sword and shook his head helplessly.

Ye Xingkong watched this scene, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

As the creator of the Five Elements Spirit Sword, Ye Xingkong could naturally see at a glance that although Ye Qing was still some distance from the second level of the Five Elements Spirit Sword, he had made considerable progress compared to last time.

"If you wish to unleash the second form of the Five Elements Spirit Sword, there are two paths you can take."

Ye Xingkong, with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly: "The first way is to enhance one's mental power. As long as one's mental power is strong enough, one can naturally force the five swords to merge into one." Ye Qing nodded noncommittally upon hearing this.

indeed.

He had a feeling that if he broke through to immortality now, he could easily unleash the second level of the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

"What about the second method?"

Ye Qing couldn't help but ask.

Breaking through to immortality now is definitely not his choice, after all, he still wants to kill a King-level invincible being to earn life evolution potions!

"The second approach is through laws."

Ye Xingkong gave Ye Qing a deep look and smiled, "The Five Elements Spirit Sword is a top-tier treasure that utilizes the five major laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, your application of these laws is still too superficial."

As a top-tier treasure set, the Five Elements Spirit Sword is far from involving the Five Elements Fusion Law; in essence, it is still a combination and application of the Five Laws.

The Five Elements Fusion Law... is not something a Realm Lord should be involved in.

Ye Xingkong slowly walked into the main hall and gently pointed out with his finger.

hum~
Divine power surged in the void, condensing into a phantom of a fire god wielding a large sword and standing ten meters tall.

"look!"

"This phantom of the fire god is a secret technique that I created casually using the laws of fire."

"If classified according to the universe, this secret technique belongs to the lowest level."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

Ye Qing nodded, sensing that the power of this secret technique wasn't actually that strong.

Such a level of secret technique, let alone him, even any random realm lord could create it.

"Look again!"

Ye Xingkong smiled and pointed again.

Boom!

The void in the hall trembled slightly, and the phantom of the fire god instantly became real, with mysterious runes appearing on the greatsword in its hand and the armor on its body.

A terrifying aura permeated the hall.

Ye Qing stared blankly at the fire god before him—no, he should be called the fire god king—and was speechless with surprise.

"The second secret technique I'm demonstrating is also based on the Law of Fire, but its power reaches the sixth level."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile, "The same law can have vastly different powers depending on how it is applied and understood."

Ye Qing looked at the illusory figure of the Flame God King, a burning glint in his eyes, and asked, "What is the sixth rank?"

"Don't worry about it."

"You'll know when you become the Lord of the Universe."

Ye Xingkong remained calm.

"How about this."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment and said, "I have created a separate battle space for you in the virtual universe and set up a total of two thousand opponents."

"Once you can defeat 1000, it means you can already use the second layer of the Five Elements Spirit Sword runes."

"Of course, if you can defeat 2000 opponents, it means you can unleash the third layer of secret runes."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"Qing'er understands."

Ye Qing's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

"correct!"

"According to the original agreement, after killing ten King-level Immortals, a reward will be given for each additional King-level Immortal killed."

"I took a look and saw that you had killed only low-level Kings, so I'll give you two bottles of Life Evolution Potion."

Ye Xingkong glanced at Ye Qing's military merit record and readily handed the two bottles of medicine to Ye Qing.

"Thank you father."

Ye Qing was still pondering the Five Elements Spirit Sword, and even though he had obtained the two potions he had been longing for, he didn't seem particularly happy.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Practice diligently, and I hope that one day you can reach my current level."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as vast as the starry sky, and said with a smile.

"Yes."

Ye Qing bowed and withdrew, but his heart was burning with passion.

Father's current realm... that's the supreme ruler of the universe!

……

After Ye Qing left the Hongmeng Dao Palace, Ye Xingkong sat on the throne and his consciousness directly entered the human race's army system to review Ye Qing's experiences over the years.

Given his current position, he naturally has extremely high authority within the military system.

The military system... was originally formed by the five top powers leading the 1008 Universe Nation, and the main management team consisted of the strongest members of the five powers.

However, now that the human race has become one of the six major powers, the leadership of the race's army has been expanded to include a cosmic venerable from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

After all, the rule of the human race by the six top powers is not something to be taken lightly!

It is fair to say that the shadows of the six major powers can be seen in every aspect of human society, including the economy, politics, and military.

"This kid is just like me back in the day!"

Ye Xingkong glanced at it casually and couldn't help but smile slightly.

According to the military system records, after Ye Qing entered the extraterritorial battlefield, he first stayed in an elite squad for several hundred years.

In this process, it's inevitable that some will pretend to be weak while actually being strong.

Ye Qing first disguised himself as an ordinary realm master warrior and followed the team through several battles, both large and small.

It wasn't until the team faced a life-or-death crisis that they revealed their true strength, killing two alien military lords at the peak of immortality in one fell swoop.

After that, he left the team and began to venture out on his own in the outer battlefields.

While seeking out opponents to hone his skills, he also tried to comprehend the secret patterns on the Five Elements Spirit Sword. In this way, more than 30,000 years passed.

Several of his battles, in which he slew novice-level King-level Immortals, made Ye Qing famous throughout the universe, earning him the title of "King of Sword Formations."

······
The third extraterritorial battlefield, Barracks Base No. 031.

"Sword Formation King, welcome to the Third Extraterrestrial Battlefield."

As soon as Ye Qing stepped through the spatial passage, a female staff member dressed in a silver robe rushed over, her attitude extremely respectful.

The name of the Sword Array King... has been widely known in the Third Domain Outer Battlefield in recent years.

After all, not just any ruthless person could kill twelve King-level Immortals in just over 30,000 years!
"Lord Sword Formation King, do you plan to go straight to the battlefield, or rest at the base first?"

The woman in the silver robe gave a sweet smile.

"Let's rest first."

"I plan to cultivate for a few days."

Ye Qing said indifferently.

Upon arriving at the extraterritorial battlefield, his appearance was somewhat different from before, making him almost unrecognizable as the same person.

That's normal. Given Ye Qing's identity, he would naturally have to hide his identity when venturing into the outer battlefields, otherwise wouldn't he be an easy target for assassination by the alien races?
"Ok."

"I will arrange the best accommodation for you at Base 031 right away."

The woman in the silver robe bowed slightly, her tone extremely respectful. (End of Chapter)
