Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

At the highest meeting of the ethnic group.

Faced with Ye Xingkong's series of bombshell announcements, the eyes of many human universe masters shone brightly.

"These things are only applicable to the Immortal and Venerable stages..."

"But it doesn't seem like something that the Lord of the Universe, or even the strongest being in the ordinary universe, could create."

Peng Gong's consciousness snapped out of its daze from the jade slip and said with a shocked expression.

As one of the few fifth-order universe lords among the human race, Lord Peng Gong is a powerful figure on par with the Lord of Chaos City, and naturally has extremely high standards.

"Purple Sun Body Forging Method", "Ancient Ruins God Forging Method", "Seven Star Radiance Array"!
Some things at the level of immortals or cosmic sages are of no significance to the cosmic lord.

However, by observing the small details, one can see from these immortal secret techniques a cultivation system that is different from the three cycles of the original universe, and even far surpasses the original universe.

The other universe lords also nodded solemnly, their eyes showing a hint of joy.

If a race is like a pyramid, then the most important are, of course, the cosmic rulers who stand at the top of the pyramid.

The number and strength of the cosmic rulers determine the status of a race in the universe.

However, the ordinary people who make up the base of the pyramid, as well as the powerful figures in the middle of the pyramid, are equally important.

Without one, how can there be two?

Without a solid foundation, how can a towering spire be built?

The inheritances that Ye Xingkong brought out were genuinely enhancing the overall strength of the human race.

"If these secret techniques were made public, the strength of our race's immortals and cosmic venerables would probably increase several times over."

"It's not impossible for one race to fight against three races!"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled.

Unlike other universe lords, there wasn't even a trace of shock on his face.

Having witnessed Ye Xingkong's unexpected actions time and time again, the Lord of Chaos City was no longer surprised.

"Hongmeng, what exactly is this [Highland Set] you mentioned earlier?"

"Is it possible to simulate this in a virtual universe?"

The founder of the giant axe looked over, his face filled with doubt.

The other universe lords also remained silent, looking at Ye Xingkong with slightly expectant eyes.

"The Highland Set is, to be precise, a great treasure, but it is divided into several parts."

"A single component is merely a King-level Immortal Divine Weapon."

"But if you assemble a set, it will possess the power of an ordinary treasure."

Ye Xingkong spoke eloquently, and with a wave of his hand, a dark green armor exuding a chilling aura appeared before the lords of the universe.

The armor appeared to be made of wood, with mottled marks on its surface resembling tree bark, and gnarled branches faintly visible at the seams.

"However, these are not the most important things about the [Highland Set]."

"Its true function lies in providing an ultimate secret technique at the level of immortality."

Ye Xingkong said in a calm tone.

"What does it mean to include an ultimate secret technique?"

The Lord of Darkness, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.

Ye Xingkong took a deep breath and smiled, "As long as you wear this set, you can naturally unleash the full power of this secret technique!"

hiss~
Immediately, all twenty-odd universe lords of the human race gasped in shock.

Shock!

Unbelievable!

Without any comprehension, as long as this treasure is refined, one can unleash the ultimate secret technique.

Although it was merely an ultimate secret technique at the immortal level, this method was something that even these cosmic lords had never heard of.

"Ordinary peak-level immortal kings, after wearing the [Highland Set], will possess the invincible strength of a peak-level king."

"Of course... it's definitely one of the weaker ones among the King of Kings."

"After all, which of the invincible kings of each race doesn't possess ultimate secret techniques, and which one doesn't have several powerful treasures?"

Ye Xingkong said calmly.

The Highlands Set has become less valuable since Five Elements City took control of the Bloodstained Highlands.

At least, over hundreds of thousands of years, Five Elements City still has hundreds of thousands of sets of [Highland Sets] in its inventory. Giving some to the human race would not have any impact at all.

After all, the human race only has 100,000 kings in total. Even if each person has one, there would still be a lot to spare.

On the contrary, the [Blood Demon Set] and [Blood God Set], one suitable for a Universe Venerable and the other for a Universe Lord, are much more valuable.

Upon hearing this, all the universe lords present were speechless.

Ye Xingkong made it sound so easy.

A single set of the [Highland Set] is indeed only the weakest invincible king-level weapon, still weaker than the normal invincible king-level weapons of each race.

But what if the [Highland Set] is combined with the Purple Sun Body Forging Technique, the Ancient Ruins God Forging Technique, and the Seven Star Light Array?

Seven invincible kings with a power amplified by thirty times, combined with a joint attack, could even rival a mid-level universe venerable!
The enormous gap between being a king and a cosmic venerable being was so easily bridged.

"Everyone!"

The founder of the giant axe stood up, his expression solemn, his heart brimming with pride, and said, "Since we have so much strength at our disposal, if the three races want to fight... then we will fight them!"

"Fight! Fight until they surrender!"

"In the era of our ancestors, when has our human race ever been so humiliated?"

"Haha! Fight! Our human race will surely rise!"

Each of the universe's rulers was greatly excited.

Next, the high-ranking members of the human race discussed some specific details, and then a series of orders were relayed from the highest council.

The entire human race is like an enormous machine, and when it starts to operate wildly, the power it unleashes is astonishing.

······
at the same time.

A silent, cold starry sky.

Four powerful and majestic consciousnesses descended, even causing the fundamental laws of the universe to temporarily retreat.

"Gentlemen, what should we do now?"

The Zerg Queen sighed softly, a complex expression appearing on her beautiful face.

Unexpectedly, neither the Mechanical Father God nor the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor spoke, remaining unusually silent.

The three races uniting to launch a decisive battle was naturally ordered by these strongest beings in the universe.

However, compared to the enormous losses suffered by the three races this time, the so-called final battle was like a consolation prize that was dispensable.

The watermelon is already lost. Even if we could win back a sesame seed, it would only make the three races look a little better. It would be meaningless.

In other words, even if the three races win this decisive battle, what difference will it make?
At most, it only involves the level of cosmic sages, and does not fundamentally harm the human race.

"The foundation of this son of the Primordial Dao Lord is already established."

The mechanical father god remained silent for a long time before coldly uttering a few words.

"If he hadn't taken advantage of that supreme treasure, how could we have suffered such a great loss?"

"Dream Demon Ancestor said in an icy tone."

During that great battle, when the Lord of Changjiu realized that Ye Xingkong possessed an extremely powerful treasure, he immediately sought help from the Dream Demon Ancestor.

However... Ye Xingkong's suppression speed was too fast. Even though the Dream Demon Ancestor and the others arrived at the fastest speed, they were still a step too late.

"His supreme treasure is indeed quite powerful."

The mechanical father god nodded as well.

The Void Chessboard is both a supreme treasure among psychic weapons and a domain-type artifact. In the absence of supreme domain-type artifacts, the "Heaven and Earth Chessboard" domain is capable of suppressing all peak domain-type artifacts!
If it weren't for the suppression of the domain, even with his sixth-order strength, Ye Xingkong might not have been able to easily suppress three fifth-order individuals.

"At least we should be thankful that the most powerful treasure is in the hands of the Lord of Hongmeng Dao, not the creator of the giant axe."

Zhen Yaozu's voice was hoarse, echoing for a long time in the starry sky.

The Zerg Queen looked at the other strongest beings in the universe, her beautiful eyes flashing, wanting to say something but remaining silent.

"The Founder of the Giant Axe was indeed the strongest being in the universe..."

"But can't you see that, given the talent displayed by the Primordial Dao Lord, shouldn't he be even more terrifying than the Giant Axe Founder?"

"How long did the Giant Axe Founder cultivate, and how long did the Primordial Dao Master cultivate?"

"In the future, who can guarantee that the Primordial Dao Master won't be the second Primordial Ancestor?"

The Zerg Queen thought to herself.

She didn't say these words aloud, but presumably the other strongest beings in the universe must have noticed them; they just subconsciously didn't want to face them.

How should one deal with a sixth-order universe master?
If the Lord of Hongmeng Dao could suppress the Lord of Changjiu and the others once, why couldn't he suppress them a second time?

Unbeknownst to them, the three races suddenly discovered that the human race had gained another incredibly powerful individual.

In the primordial universe, the Lord of Hongmeng was an existence on par with the strongest beings in the universe.

"First the Lord of the Divine Axe, then the Lord of the Primordial Chaos Dao. Can our three races really suppress the human race with their combined strength?"

"Or... while humanity hasn't fully risen to power, let's befriend them first, at least not become too hostile!"

The Zerg Queen's beautiful eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Among the three races—the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race—the Insect Race is the weakest and holds the most awkward position.

Even if the Zerg defeat the Terrans, what benefits can the Zerg, being the weakest party, possibly gain?

They will still be suppressed by the mechanical race and the demon race!
Perhaps, for the Zerg, the current situation of four races standing side by side is the best.

"If we allow the human race to continue developing like this, they will likely surpass our three races sooner or later... We must take action!"

At this moment, the Zhenyao Clan slowly spoke, their gazes turning to the Zerg Queen and the Mechanical Father God.

His meaning was very clear: the three races should unite, not just in the battlefields beyond the borders, but in forming a complete alliance.

However, these two strongest beings in the universe remained silent, as if they hadn't understood at all.

This starry sky was caught in a brief stalemate.

"That's it!"

Let's discuss this later!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the Zhenyao Clan, the Dream Demon Ancestor had no choice but to speak up: "No matter what, in this great battle, our three clans must strike hard against the arrogance of the human race. If we can kill a few peerless geniuses, that would be even better!"

Both the Mechanical Father and the Zerg Queen remained silent, though their eyes held a cold expression.

It is true that all three races are secretly targeting the human race, but the hatred between the machine race, the demon race, and the insect race is also a deep-seated blood feud.

Over the long course of history, how many talented and powerful individuals from the mechanical and insectoid races have fallen at the hands of the demon race?

The three races... have never been a united front!

······
Headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo, Ancient Origin Star.

Ye Xingkong returned to the Hongmeng Dao Palace and casually released Ye Qing.

The boy looked dejected, seemingly afraid to look Ye Xingkong in the eye; the former spiritedness of the Sword Formation King was nowhere to be seen.

"Father...I was wrong."

Ye Qing sighed softly, seemingly feeling guilty.

As the third son of the Hongmeng Dao Master, he understood very well that the reason he was able to earn the great title of "King of Sword Formations" was largely because he had a very powerful father.

A mere realm lord possesses so many treasures that it's like they're free; he even throws out top-tier treasures as bait.

Such wealth and power... even the personal disciples of the Lord of the Universe don't receive this kind of treatment.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ye Xingkong asked with a calm smile.

"I enjoy many special treatments because of my father's status."

"However, having privileges also means bearing equal responsibilities!"

"When I walk in the universe, I am not only representing myself, Ye Qing, but also my father, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, and I must shoulder the responsibility."

There was a hint of self-reproach in Ye Qing's tone.

If he hadn't been careless in his actions, allowing the alien race to discover his identity, none of this would have happened.

When he discovered that the entire 031st military base had been annihilated and that only he was still alive, he realized that the alien race's target was not him at all, but Ye Xingkong!
The outcome was naturally positive; Ye Xingkong forcefully suppressed the three universe masters.

But what if Ye Xingkong wasn't that strong?
What if Ye Xingkong was just an ordinary newly promoted universe master?
Does this mean that the human race is likely to lose a ruler of the universe?
"Ha ha!"

Ye Xingkong smiled and shook his head, saying, "Qing'er, what if I told you that all of this was part of my plan?"

"what?"

Ye Qing was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand a lot.

Yes!

Why was I sent out to train now when I was cultivating well in the Five Elements Universe?

I'm afraid Father had already planned to turn the tables on us!
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for my father to arrive in an instant as soon as the alien universe lord made his move.

It should be noted that even if the father noticed something was wrong immediately and rushed to the extraterrestrial battlefield via the divine kingdom's teleportation, it would still take at least ten seconds.

Apparently...

All of this was a scheme devised by the father, a plan to deliver a ruthless blow to these alien races!

"Qing'er, the hatred between the alien races and our human race is almost irreconcilable."

“Any genius of our human race is on the assassination list of the alien races.”

"Do you think that with the strength you've demonstrated, you won't attract the attention of the alien races?"

Ye Xingkong shook his head and said earnestly, "Even if you weren't discovered by the alien race this time, what about next time? And the time after that? It's just a matter of time."

Ye Qing nodded in realization.

That seems to make sense!
With the sudden emergence of an invincible king among the human race, the alien races would naturally mobilize all their resources to gather relevant information.

In other words, even if Ye Qing's identity can be kept secret for a while, it cannot be kept secret forever.

"Father, I understand!"

Ye Qing clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and said, "The great battle is about to begin, and this time I will definitely kill as many alien races as possible for my clan!"

"okay."

"With your strength, why are you killing people every day!"

Ye Xingkong patted Ye Qing's head and laughed, "With your foundation, there's no need to stay at the Realm Lord stage. Break through to Immortality as soon as possible. After you break through, find your older brother."

"Big brother..."

Ye Qing lowered his head and remained silent, a strange look flashing across his face.

His elder brother, Ye Chen, the young master of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, has never returned since he left home to explore the universe hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Of course, they didn't meet in real life, but Ye Qing could still see Ye Chen frequently in the virtual universe.

Where is my elder brother now?

Ye Qing asked, still confused.

"The Mysterious Realm of the Flame..."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, a meaningful expression on his face. (End of Chapter)
