Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

primordial universe.

The vast and boundless territory of the demon race.

Within the magnificent and ancient palace lies a golden mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers.

swoosh~
A streak of gray light rushed into the palace.

"Lord of Changjiu, I have urgent news to report!"

The gray figure landed on the ground, humbly prostrating itself with a respectful expression.

Boom~
Suddenly, three bright, round stars lit up the vast mountain range. Upon closer inspection, they were not stars at all, but three enormous eyes.

"whats the matter?"

“Venerable Yi Bromine…I have heard of your name.”

The Lord of Changjiu's eyes were icy, a hint of savagery flashing within them: "You are not one of my subordinates, do you know the price of trespassing into Changjiu Palace?"

"The appropriate bromine is unknown..."

As Venerable Yimu was stared at by that cold gaze, he felt as if his entire divine body had been frozen, and an irresistible sense of death welled up from the depths of his heart.

It was just an ordinary Universe Venerable among the demon race, with strength only at the mid-level Universe Venerable level.

Logically speaking, given Venerable Yimo's status, he should not be qualified to personally meet the Lord of Changjiu.

After all, the status of the Lord of Changjiu among the demon race is comparable to that of the Lord of Chaos City among the human race.

Not only in terms of status, but also in terms of strength, the two are not far apart, both reaching the top level of the fifth rank.

Finally, the Lord of Changjiu looked away and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll give you a chance. Speak, what's the news?"

"Thank you, Lord Changjiu!"

Venerable Yimo breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashing with greedy green light, and said excitedly, "I was appointed by the Lord of Sirius to oversee the Third Extraterrestrial Battlefield, and it has been 36,000 epochs since then."

The Lord of Changjiu's expression was icy, signaling Venerable Yimo to continue speaking.

The four dominant races—humans, demons, insects, and machines—have collectively opened up eleven extraterritorial battlefields.

The four major races had a rule that, except for the great decisive battle that takes place once every countless eras, cosmic lords were not allowed to enter the battlefield outside the domain.

Once the rules are set, someone must be responsible for enforcing them; otherwise, it's no different from empty talk.

Therefore, each of the four major races dispatched a Universe Venerable to each battlefield, resulting in forty-four Universe Venerables across the eleven battlefields.

These cosmic beings are usually only responsible for monitoring; they are absolutely not allowed to personally intervene unless there are special circumstances.

“During my time overseeing the battlefields outside the region, a major incident occurred.”

"I didn't pay much attention at first, but when I checked carefully, I found that it involved a great being of the human race."

Venerable Yilu said quickly.

"Oh?"

The Lord of Changjiu became interested and asked casually, "The outer battlefield only allows invincible kings to enter, so how could it involve such beings?"

"Lord of Changjiu, please take a look."

Venerable Yi-lu did not continue speaking, but instead handed over a piece of information.

The Lord of Changjiu extended his enormous gray claws and gently tapped the void in front of him. Then, a scene automatically played in the air.

The scene depicted a cold, desolate starry sky.

A dark gold metal treasure chest floated in the void, its surface engraved with numerous mythical beast patterns.

"This aura... seems to be from a top-tier treasure?"

The Lord of Changjiu spoke with a hint of doubt in his voice.

The information presented by Venerable Yi-mo was very detailed, including not only images and sounds, but also a portion of the aura.

With the discerning eye of the Lord of Changjiu, one can naturally see that this so-called metal treasure chest is actually a top-tier treasure of the sealing type.

"Even Universe Venerables would covet treasures of this caliber, so how could they appear on an extraterrestrial battlefield?"

The Lord of Changjiu sensed that something was amiss.

"The Lord of Changjiu is wise!"

Venerable Yimo nodded vigorously and said, "That's exactly why I also felt something was wrong, so I investigated this matter in detail."

Top-tier treasures... even he, a mid-level universe venerable, doesn't possess them!
The video then continued playing.

Surrounding this newly discovered treasure were thousands of immortal kings from all four factions, even alarming many powerful kings from the four major clans who had been silent for countless years.

To know……

The title of King and Immortal on the battlefield outside the realm is only a small part of the title of King and Immortal held by various races.

Some ancient and powerful immortal kings have reached the limit of their current strength and wealth accumulation, and there is no point in them killing on the battlefield outside the domain anymore.

These powerful, immortal kings mostly stayed in the rear, cultivating for countless years to take the final step towards becoming a cosmic venerable.

However, with the emergence of top-tier treasures, and the fact that even the most powerful beings in the universe could not personally intervene, some ancient kings and immortals from various races returned to the battlefields beyond the realms once again.

So, what was the final outcome?

The Lord of Changjiu asked with some curiosity.

Thousands of kings fought a fierce battle for a single top-tier treasure—something that hadn't happened in many eras.

"That top-tier treasure was taken by a newly crowned, invincible 'Sword Array King' from humanity."

Venerable Yilu shook his head and said.

"Humans? Humans again!"

The Lord of Changjiu had a cold look in his eyes and a hint of anger in his voice.

"Lord of Changjiu, according to my investigation, this human king-level invincible is very unusual."

"Venerable Yiluo said in a deep voice."

"At the very beginning, the human Sword Formation King showed no interest in top-tier treasures, but instead took advantage of the chaos to kill a large number of our race's King-level Immortals."

"Based on my observation, he only targets the strong members of the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race, and he can basically kill them with one blow."

"In the end, he suddenly unleashed unparalleled strength, slaying three invincible kings in succession, and then snatched away the top treasure in full view of everyone."

"Imperial Bromine Venerable said through gritted teeth."

"To have slain three invincible kings in succession? How is that possible!"

A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Changjiu. He said, "If the Invincible King can escape from the hands of a Universe Venerable, does this Sword Formation King possess the strength of a Universe Venerable?"

"Yes."

Venerable Yi Bromine nodded affirmatively: "He not only possesses the strength of a Universe Venerable, but I also suspect that the top-tier treasure was deliberately released by the Sword Array King to attract a large number of King-level Immortals to gather here, and then unleash a massacre!"

The Lord of Changjiu frowned and asked expressionlessly, "Have you found out the identity of the Sword Array King?"

"I found it!"

"According to repeated confirmations by the intelligence department, he should be Ye Qing, the son of the Hongmeng Dao Master!"

Venerable Yi Bromine bared his ferocious fangs and said excitedly, "Great Lord Changjiu, as soon as I found out that this matter involved the Lord of Hongmeng Dao, I dared not delay for a moment and came to find you immediately."

"Well, you did a good job."

The Lord of Changjiu nodded, and upon hearing the name of the Lord of Hongmeng Dao, a glint flashed in his eyes. He quickly asked, "Can the location of the Sword Array King be confirmed?"

"can!"

“I personally took action and left a divine mark on his body.”

Venerable Yimu revealed a sinister smile and said, "According to my senses... he shouldn't have left the extraterritorial battlefield yet." "Good, very good!"

The Lord of Changjiu was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Don't leave yet, stay in my palace. I need you at any time."

"As ordered."

Venerable Yi Bromine nodded vigorously, his heart filled with excitement. By attaching himself to the powerful Lord Changjiu, he would have a strong backer within the demon race.

On the other side, the Lord of Changjiu immediately contacted the Lord of Ruby of the Zerg and the Lord of Taiju of the Machine Race through special means.

Both of these Universe Lords are fifth-order Universe Lords, holding very high positions within the Zerg and Mech races.

"Changjiu, what business do you have with us?"

The Crimson Jade Lord's incredibly alluring voice rang out, seemingly tinged with a hint of resentment.

"Regarding the Primordial Dao Lord of Humanity!"

"The Lord of Changjiu said with full confidence."

"how?"

"Has that cowardly turtle finally decided to come out and make his mark?"

The Lord of Crimson Jade's voice was noticeably louder as she asked, "Have you made a plan? With the three of us personally taking action, there will absolutely be no mistakes!"

"There's no time to lose; opportunities are fleeting."

"Changjiu, we finally got information about the Lord of Hongmeng, we can't let it slip away easily."

The Lord of Taiju also spoke in a cold voice.

It's no wonder they weren't in a hurry; hundreds of thousands of years had passed since the three races finalized their plan to assassinate Ye Xingkong.

However, throughout these long years, Ye Xingkong never stepped out of the Hongmeng Dojo, leaving them with no opportunity whatsoever.

"No, it's not what you think."

The Lord of Changjiu shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless, and then recounted what had just happened.

"You mean... to lure out the human Primordial Dao Master through the Sword Formation King?"

Lord of Crimson Jade frowned, then shook his head and said, "It's too obvious. As long as Lord Hongmeng isn't stupid, he can guess that this is a trap."

"Changjiu, your plan may not be feasible."

"Besides, given the personality of the Hongmeng Dao Lord, he might not care about an offspring!"

Lord Taiju shook his head and said.

"No!"

The Lord of Changjiu smiled and said, "You are a Zerg and a Machine race, so of course you wouldn't understand the meaning of family and offspring."

"Furthermore, the time it took for the Hongmeng Dao Lord to become the Lord of the Universe was very short, so his relationship with the Sword Array King must have been very deep."

“Even if he knows it’s a trap, the Lord of Hongmeng is very likely to make a move.”

"The Lord of Changjiu said calmly."

Many ancient beings in the universe have either achieved immortality with their loved ones or have long since died in the long river of time; kinship no longer exists for them.

However, the Lord of Hongmeng Dao is too young, and his emphasis on family ties is completely different.

"Besides, even if the success rate is not high."

"This is our only chance right now."

The Lord of Changjiu said solemnly, "Given the cautious nature of the Lord of Hongmeng, he may already possess the strength of the third tier when he travels through the universe again."

"Okay, I agree."

Lord of Crimson Jade nodded slowly, seemingly convinced by Lord of Changjiu.

"Since you two agree, then the minority shall obey the majority."

The Lord of Taiju agreed, a strange glint in his red-glowing eyes, and said, "However, if we fail this time, humanity will only be more vigilant next time."

······
Extraterritorial battlefield.

Barracks Base No. 031.

"King of Sword Formations, welcome home."

Ye Qing, dressed in a blue armor, walked into the manor, let out a long sigh of relief, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"My careful planning, even using a top-tier treasure as bait, has finally caught quite a few big fish."

Ye Qing's armor transformed into casual clothes, and he lay comfortably on the sofa, a smug smile on his lips.

Last time, he comprehended the second level of the Five Elements Spirit Sword's secret runes, greatly increasing his strength, but he did not immediately take action.

After all, none of the immortal kings who roamed the outer battlefields were fools. Knowing that their strength was inferior to Ye Qing's, they teleported away from a great distance to escape.

Therefore... if Ye Qing were to rashly reveal his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to kill many King-level Immortals.

To defeat the enemy, strength alone is not enough; you also need brains!

Therefore, he meticulously orchestrated this grand scheme, attracting thousands of immortal kings to join the game.

Of course, those who were granted the title of King and Immortal were not stupid, and they inevitably had some doubts in their hearts.

After all, the sudden appearance of a treasure that even a cosmic venerable would covet on the extraterrestrial battlefield was too abrupt and abnormal.

Unfortunately, wealth has always been a powerful motivator.

When faced with absolute benefits, there will always be people willing to take risks.

These immortal kings who have cultivated to their current level have all experienced countless life-or-death crises; deep down, they are all true "gamblers"!
If they dared not gamble, if they dared not take risks, they might have already died on the road to becoming strong.

"This battle was extremely dangerous."

"After all, there are thousands of Kings. Even if I have the Five Elements Battle Armor to protect my life, I would still die if surrounded by dozens of Kings Immortals!"

Ye Qing recalled the experience of that great battle, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Thousands of immortal kings have been created, the weakest of whom are advanced kings, the vast majority are peak kings, and the rarely seen limit kings and invincible kings have emerged one after another.

Fortunately, most of the immortal kings were focused on that top-tier treasure, and few people noticed Ye Qing.

"hey-hey!"

"The second level of the Five Elements Spirit Sword is indeed incredibly powerful; it can kill a King at the limit in just two or three strikes."

"Even if someone is invincible and has been crowned a king, unless they are particularly good at protecting themselves, they are no match for me."

"It's a bit of a pity that in the end only three invincible kings were killed!"

Ye Qing felt a slight sense of regret.

Those who can achieve the title of king and be invincible are all shrewd and cunning.

When Ye Qing unleashed his full power, he only had time to kill three invincible kings. The other invincible kings chose not to compete for the treasures and instead teleported away from the battlefield.

"In total, I killed 32 King-level Immortals in this battle."

"Among them are three invincible kings, nine kings at the limit, fifteen kings at the peak, and five high-level kings who are immortal."

Ye Qing pondered this in his mind, and excitement gradually appeared on his face.

By this calculation, he could obtain 510 doses of Life Evolution Potion!

"Five hundred and ten... plus the original forty times the level of life genes, that's five hundred and fifty times the genes."

"Haha, now my genetic level is probably no less than that of some special life forms."

A slight smile appeared on Ye Qing's lips. (End of Chapter)
