Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Seven Towers Realm, Five Elements City.

The majestic and ancient city stands on the edge of the Bloodstained Heights, like a magnificent fortress stretching across the sky, blocking the endless army of blood demons from the Forest Kingdom behind it.

The Five Elements Avatar, dressed in a blue robe, was located in the City Lord's Mansion, leisurely enjoying the delicacies before him.

"Not bad."

"The Drunken Cold Shrimp, a tribute from Lanyun Prefecture, is indeed a rare delicacy."

Ye Xingkong took a bite, and a pure chill bloomed on his taste buds, making him exclaim in praise.

Of the three powerful clones, the Five Elements clone was sent to oversee the Seven Towers Realm, responsible for collecting inherited treasures. Although it seemed like a tough job, it was actually quite a cushy one.

After all, the real trivial matters are left to his subordinates. Even if things get really bad, there are still four fifth-tier lords, including the Lord of the Sea Demon, so he doesn't need to do everything himself.

after awhile.

Ye Xingkong happily finished the shrimp on the table, then slowly got up and walked towards the martial arts room.

For him, tasting delicious food was merely about satisfying his appetite.

Hu~hu~hu~
In the martial arts room.

The blade flashed fiercely, and within that fleeting glint, one could vaguely see countless worlds, like grains of sand, being born, multiplying, and perishing.

Every moment a world is born, and every moment a world is destroyed.

The snow-white blade light resembled ocean waves, layer upon layer, continuous and endless, its power vast and boundless.

brush!brush!brush!
Deep knife marks were left on the thick wall, which was made of special materials and strong enough to withstand the attack of a true god.

"Seventh rank... it's still a little short."

"But it's soon."

Ye Xingkong put down his sword, his face showing deep thought, as if he was considering the shortcomings of his swordsmanship.

More than 36,000 years have passed since they received the Lin Kingdom's inheritance.

Over these long years, with the guidance of his lineage, Ye Xingkong's progress was frighteningly fast.

Not only did they reach the sixth rank early on, but now they are only one step away from the threshold of the seventh rank.

"Ok?"

At this moment, a golden token at Ye Xingkong's waist emitted a faint glow, with the three characters "Five Elements City" engraved on it.

He extended a wisp of divine power and plunged it into the token, and a message appeared in his mind.

"Reporting to the City Lord, the quest item 'Ten Thousand Meteorite Crystal' has been retrieved."

It was just a simple line of text, yet it brought a hint of joy to Ye Xingkong's face.

"reply ASAP!"

"Make sure the items are safe!"

Ye Xingkong transmitted a message into the token using his divine power.

This token engraved with the words "Five Elements City"... is actually the Five Elements City Guild token, and also a remote communication tool within the Seven Towers Realm.

No matter where you are or how far apart you are, you can use tokens to send messages to each other.

That's right!

The Seven Towers Realm is simulated as a game world, with adventurers and naturally, guilds composed of them.

In essence, Five Elements City is just a large player guild.

Ye Xingkong sheathed his battle sword, pondered for a moment, and walked towards the council hall.

In the very center of the hall, there is a lifelike map of mountains and rivers.

Unlike the map Ye Xingkong presented last time, which only marked the four kingdoms of Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest, this map also marked many other countries, forces, and danger zones.

"The second level of the Seven Towers Realm is very vast."

"The four kingdoms of Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Forest, along with more than 6,400 other forces of varying sizes, together form the Northern Region of the Northern Star Continent."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map in front of him for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.

The Seven Towers Realm is a deep and murky place!

In the Northern Region alone, there are more than 6,400 forces.

It should be noted that any entity that can be called a power must have at least one True God-level expert in charge.

"Only after unifying the Lin Kingdom did I realize how vast the world is!"

Ye Xingkong's tone was full of emotion.

Back then, after he wiped out all the experts from the White Dragon King's Mansion, Five Elements City was poised to annex the Lin Kingdom.

At that time, Ye Xingkong had just received the inheritance and his strength was not very stable, so he was in no hurry to make a move.

After all, to unify the Lin Kingdom, at least one true god is needed to oversee it.

Ye Xingkong wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time and could take his time. So it took him more than 30,000 years to gradually bring the entire Lin Kingdom under the sphere of influence of the Five Elements City.

As for the Great Power Sect, one of the other three major forces in the Lin Kingdom?
After Ye Xingkong visited the mountain gate with a knife one day, he completely ceased to exist.

It must be said that the Lin Kingdom is, after all, an ancient power that has existed for billions of years, and its foundation is still very profound.

Perhaps Lin Kingdom is only a small force in the Seven Towers Realm, but it is still better than Ye Xingkong, a blind outsider.

Having inherited some of the Lin Kingdom's heritage, Ye Xingkong gained a deeper understanding of the Seven Towers Realm.

Boom~
At this moment, a powerful aura rapidly moved towards the City Lord's Mansion.

A moment later, an old man dressed in silver armor appeared behind Ye Xingkong.

"Master, fortunately you have lived up to your command."

"I have finally brought back the Myriad Meteorite Crystal you requested."

The Lord of the Sirens knelt on one knee and spoke with utmost respect.

"Not bad, very good."

Ye Xingkong took the dark red crystal, his eyes lit up, and only after confirming that it was correct did he put it into his storage space.

It must be said that enslaving the Lord of the Sea Demons and other cosmic lords was indeed a very correct choice.

Although they are the weakest among the fifth-order universe masters, they are genuinely capable of demonstrating fifth-order strength, and many dangerous tasks can be entrusted to them.

If you count Ye Xingkong's subordinates, apart from himself, there isn't another fifth-tier combatant.

"Unfortunately, soul contracts are extremely rare in the Seven Towers Realm."

"Otherwise, given the personalities of many universe lords in the Seven Towers Realm, they would actually be quite willing to acknowledge a master in the face of life and death."

Ye Xingkong felt a pang of regret.

Perhaps due to their different upbringing, in the primordial universe, the rulers of the universe were all great beings, big shots of their respective forces and races, each with unparalleled arrogance.

Such powerful individuals value their dignity above all else, and would rather perish than become slaves.

However, in the Seven Towers Realm, many universe lords completely lack this kind of backbone.

Faced with the choice between life and dignity, most people would choose the former.

However, items like Soul Contracts are rare. The reason why the Lord of the Sea Demons was able to produce four of them in one go was simply because the White Dragon King's Palace happened to have these items in its treasury.

Even with the Lin Kingdom royal family's accumulation over many years, there are only four soul contracts, which shows how precious they are.

“I know you took a lot of risks for this Myriad Meteorite Crystal.”

"This bottle of Divine Power Potion is a reward for you. Go back and take good care of your injuries."

Ye Xingkong was in a good mood after receiving the quest item, and tossed out a red potion that emitted a faint fragrance.

"Thank you, Master!"

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Siren Lord.

The Divine Power Spring Potion is a healing potion at the level of a Universe Lord, capable of instantly restoring most of a Universe Lord's divine body.

Unfortunately, this medicine cannot be used repeatedly, otherwise it would place a great burden on the will of a strong person.

Otherwise, imagine if you had enough Divine Power Fountain during a battle, you could drink a bottle every time you were hit, wouldn't that be no different from having an infinite divine body?
However, the number of bottles of Divine Power that one can consume in a short period of time depends solely on the strength of one's will. In other words, the stronger one's will, the more one can drink.

In other words, Ye Xingkong already had the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, so he didn't need the Divine Power Spring at all. Otherwise, with his God-King level willpower, drinking this kind of thing wouldn't have been a problem for him.

"Now that I have the Myriad Meteorite Crystal, I can go to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion to receive the next stage of inheritance."

Ye Xingkong stroked the warm red crystal in his hand, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion is one of the three super powers, alongside the Myriad Laws Palace and the Medicine God Palace.

During his many years in the Seven Towers Realm, he was not only busy investigating the Myriad Laws Palace, but also kept up with the two major forces, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion and the Medicine God Palace.

After all, for Ye Xingkong, the skills of weapon crafting and potion making were quite important.

However, obtaining the second stage of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion's inheritance is no simpler than obtaining a Myriad Laws Token.

Ye Xingkong spent over 30,000 years, and with the Five Elements City's power greatly increased after annexing the Lin Kingdom, he finally managed to obtain this Myriad Meteorite Crystal.

Having stayed in the Seven Towers Realm for so long, he was already very familiar with the rules here.

On the surface, the Seven Towers Realm seems very "free," where you can get rare treasures by fighting monsters and learn skills by joining the Palace of Ten Thousand Laws.

In fact, that is indeed the case.

However, we need to add a category: below the true God!
Once you reach the level of a true god, you control everything, from inheritances to supreme treasures, with extreme rigor.

If Ye Xingkong hadn't destroyed the White Dragon King's Mansion in one fell swoop, he might not have been able to obtain the true god's inheritance from the Lin Kingdom.

Without the strength of a true god, one cannot receive the inheritance of a true god;
Without the inheritance of a true god, one cannot break through to the level of a true god.

This seems to have fallen into a vicious cycle.

Ye Xingkong was the only exception, after all, his strength could not be judged by conventional standards.

just
From another perspective, Ye Xingkong's ability to defeat four fifth-tier universe masters also demonstrates that he possesses strength unmatched below the level of a true god.

······
With the continuous influx of powerful individuals from the Five Elements Universe, Five Elements City has become increasingly prosperous.

Although Ye Xingkong controlled the entire Lin Kingdom, his base of operations was always the Five Elements City. After all, only the strong individuals born from his own miniature universe could be trusted completely.

Before he knew it, Ye Xingkong arrived in front of a building that was a hundred meters tall.

The building occupies an enormous area, and in the open square in front of it stands a bronze hammer tens of meters high.

The Heavenly Craft Pavilion branch in Five Elements City!

Unlike the Wanfa Palace, which requires one to travel to its headquarters to receive the inheritance, the Tiangong Pavilion allows the second stage of inheritance to be carried out at any of its branches.

Ye Xingqi walked calmly and confidently into the majestic ancient building with his hands behind his back.

A gaunt old man in black personally greeted him and led him to the third-floor reception room, where he was served the finest wine.

"May I ask what brings the city lord here?"

The old man in black remained indifferent, showing no excessive enthusiasm despite Ye Xingkong's status as the city lord.

"I wish to accept the second stage of the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion's inheritance."

Ye Xingkong took out the Myriad Meteorite Crystal and said with a smile.

"Oh?"

The old man in black changed his expression, took the Myriad Meteorite Crystal and examined it carefully. After a long while, he nodded and said, "That's right, it's this thing."

He then casually put the red stone away.

【Ding! 】

[You have completed the Heavenly Craft Pavilion's trial and are qualified to receive its inheritance!]

Ye Xingkong heard the notification from the Seven Towers Realm.

"Please, Lord City Lord."

The old man in black smiled slightly and led Ye Xingkong into the fourth floor of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

"What are the differences between the first and second stages of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion's inheritance?"

Ye Xingkong followed the old man and couldn't help but ask curiously.

When he acquired the first stage of the inheritance, he encountered virtually no obstacles; all he had to do was pay to learn.

But this second stage of inheritance...

It can be said that the Lord of the Sea Siren, a fifth-order universe lord, went through countless hardships to obtain it for Ye Xingkong.

The difficulty levels are on completely different levels!
The old man in black gave a playful smile and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Ye Xingkong was silent for a moment, then said, "Every aspect."

The old man in black smiled and said, "Their strength, status, and lineage are all different."

Ye Xingkong nodded thoughtfully, seemingly understanding the meaning behind his words.

If the Seven Towers Realm is considered a force, then learning the first stage of inheritance would at most make one an outer disciple or a peripheral member.

However, to learn the second stage of the inheritance, one must at least be a formal disciple or an inner disciple.

"This is the inheritance room."

"We weapon refiners don't have many formalities; once we go in, we can receive the inheritance."

The old man in black stopped in front of an unremarkable room and turned to look at Ye Xingkong.

"it is good."

Ye Xingkong nodded without the slightest hesitation and pushed open the door to enter.

The room was very small, and apart from a white circle drawn on the floor in the very center, there was nothing else there.

Ye Xingkong looked around and found nothing unusual, so he leisurely walked to the center of the white circle and sat down cross-legged.

hum~
A strange feeling descended upon me.

Ye Xingkong was stunned for a moment, only to feel his soul and body gradually separating.

Gradually, his body seemed to disappear, leaving only a spirit floating in the middle.

"Woo~"

"So much time has passed that I almost forgot that this clone of mine is a spiritual life form."

Ye Xingkong pursed his lips.

To be honest, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is quite something; it was able to see through the disguise of the Five Elements Avatar.

You should know that Ye Xingkong was able to run right under the nose of the Chaos City Lord without any problems back then, thanks to his ability to transform his Five Elements Avatar.

“Scanning for life force... Spiritual beings are eligible for inheritance.”

"Scanning the inheritor's realm... Lord of the Universe!"

A series of voices rang in my ears.

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression calm, everything seemed normal.

"Scanning the inheritor's will... Unknown!"

"Rescan...Unknown!"

"Beep! Confirmed that the inheritor's will has reached the branch test limit. It is recommended to send them to headquarters!"

"Contacting headquarters...unable to reach them!"

"Try contacting again...no response!"

"Three attempts to contact headquarters failed... It has been determined that contact with headquarters has been lost!"

"According to Rule 82, the examinee's information will be recorded based on the test limit of 'Peak Will of a True God of the Void' in this Inheritance Chamber!"

"Check the branch's permissions. One S-level assessment remains. Initiate the S-level assessment!"

Ye Xingkong was slightly taken aback when he heard the series of notification sounds in his ear.

The headquarters of Tiangong Pavilion... has already lost contact?

And what the heck is this S-level assessment?! (End of Chapter)
