Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

The Ice and Fire Venerable returned to the Five Elements Universe.

The clear understanding of the laws surrounding me was many times clearer than that of the primordial universe.

"He has cultivated for nearly 300,000 years, which is equivalent to an ordinary person cultivating for nearly 3 billion years in the outside world."

The Ice and Fire Venerable sat cross-legged on the cloud, his heart at peace.

At this moment, he neither comprehended the laws nor pondered the secret techniques, but instead began to recall his long life.

His real name was "Wang Cheng", and he was born not long after the Xiu clan was founded.

Because of their extremely high bloodline, the Xiu clan becomes a domain lord upon adulthood and is born with eight times the life gene level, making it very difficult for them to reproduce.

On average, only one new member of the Xiu clan is born every thousand years.

The Xiu clan has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, but its total population is less than 300,000.

Of course, since they live and reproduce in the Five Elements Universe, in such a heaven-defying environment, the Xiu Clan members can easily break through to immortality with just a little cultivation.

Of the nearly 300,000 members of the Xiu Clan, over 99% are immortals, and a large number have been granted titles of marquis or king.

The number of Universe Venerables has decreased significantly. After all, comprehending the complete laws of space and time is a completely different level of difficulty. In addition, the cultivation race has only existed for a short time, and many powerful individuals remain at the peak of the King-Sealing stage.

However, as time goes by, these immortal kings will soon break through to the level of cosmic venerables.

Until then……

The number of Universe Venerables in the Hongmeng Dojo will experience an explosive growth period, and may even quickly surpass the other five top forces.

"However, for my Hongmeng Daoist Temple, it is meaningless to have more cosmic venerables."

"What the Dao Lord truly needs is a second Lord of the Universe."

The Ice and Fire Venerable thought to himself.

From the moment he was born, he displayed unparalleled talent, causing a sensation throughout the entire cultivation clan, and eventually even alarming Ye Xingkong, the Lord of the Primordial Dao.

"This child possesses the potential to become the master of the universe!"

This was Ye Xingkong's evaluation of the Ice and Fire Venerable back then.

However, to the regret of the entire Xiu clan, Ye Xingkong ultimately did not accept Wang Cheng as his disciple.

It wasn't that he lacked talent; it was simply that Ye Xingkong was too lazy to take on disciples.

Over the next hundreds of thousands of years, Wang Cheng did not disappoint his talent. In just a few hundred thousand years, he became a Universe Venerable and gradually rose to a high position in the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

After breaking through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, his progress did not slow down at all, and he became a Cosmic Overlord in a very short time.

Of course, the rapid improvement of Ice and Fire Venerable's strength is also related to Ye Xingkong's willingness to spend resources to cultivate his subordinates.

Limited resources such as treasures, secret techniques, and potions can generally be easily obtained with sufficient Daoist contribution points.

Given the status of Venerable Ice and Fire in the Hongmeng Dojo, he would naturally not lack Dojo contribution points.

"I have thoroughly comprehended the laws of space, and I have also perfected the laws of time."

Everything is ready, except for the final step.

The Ice and Fire Venerable's eyes were serene, his mind still recalling the contents of the ancient civilization's inheritance.

This legacy details the path from immortality to becoming the master of the universe.

It can be said that this inheritance alone can increase the probability of a cosmic venerable breaking through to the cosmic master level by 30%.

Don't underestimate this 30% chance.

It should be noted that the human race has thousands of cosmic venerables, but there are only twenty-one cosmic lords.

The Ice and Fire Venerable sat cross-legged on the cloud, completely relaxed, and gradually lost track of time.

Am I asleep?

The Ice and Fire Venerable murmured deep within his heart.

For the cultivator race, being born at the pinnacle of the universe level means that sleep is a very distant concept for them.

No, it's not about sleeping.

Feeling no sense of self, merging with heaven and earth—this is the legendary state of oneness with nature.

Heaven refers to the universe and all things in it;
Human is the self.

With the two combined, the Ice and Fire Venerable seemed to have gained a completely new understanding of the universe.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, a mysterious aura descended.

The Ice and Fire Venerable slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm and a gentle smile on his lips.

In the next instant, the world changed drastically.

Chaotic energy converged, and primordial cosmic consciousness descended into the Five Elements Universe.

A crack spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers appeared in the sky, and within the enormous gap, clear fluctuations of primordial laws could be seen.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Light, Wind, Time, Space...

Each law is incredibly clear, as if one were directly observing the fundamental laws of the universe itself.

At this moment, all the powerful cultivators in the Five Elements Universe were alarmed by this dramatic change.

"This is... the descent of the fundamental laws!"

One after another, powerful super strong individuals floated in the void, gazing into the distance; among them were many who had been granted the title of King or Immortal.

These immortal kings are all future cosmic venerables of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple!
"What a powerful breath."

"This is not breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable, but breaking through to the level of a Universe Lord!"

A middle-aged man wearing golden armor, whose aura had reached the peak of the King-level realm, said in shock, his face full of awe.

If he saw someone break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, he might feel envious and wonder why that person wasn't him.

but……

The Lord of the Universe, the ultimate super-powerful being standing at the very top of the vast universe, is far beyond his reach.

As a result, everyone felt genuine awe and respect.

The black and white vortex in the void, with a diameter of over 100 million kilometers, alternated between black and white, radiating overwhelming pressure.

At the center of this vortex lies a passage connecting to the "Ocean of Cosmic Laws".

Wow~
The Ice and Fire Venerable had no time to be surprised, as he was wholeheartedly absorbing the divine power.

His life genes did not reach the level of perfect genes, about 3,300 times, and his divine body was not as huge as that of the demon race, only 100 meters tall.

In fact, a divine body that is 100 meters tall is already considered extremely large among human beings.

Most powerful humans have divine bodies that are around two or three meters tall, and those that exceed ten meters are extremely rare.

As for larger divine bodies, they have basically possessed other life forms in the universe.

In terms of the size of divine bodies, the human race is indeed at a great disadvantage, with only three top cosmic overlords.

Time passes slowly.

Rumble~~~
The Ice and Fire Venerable's divine body was like the Yangtze River, swallowing up a massive amount of pure divine power.

The core of the vortex, with its intermingling black and white concentric rings, unleashed a torrent of divine power and seawater through a vortex channel hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter.

Moments later, the fundamental laws of the universe came and went quickly.

The Ice and Fire Venerable reluctantly stopped absorbing divine power, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

"The divine body transformation is about 10%, which is not bad!"

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded with satisfaction.

His divine body was much larger than that of ordinary human races, and his life gene level was 3,300 times that of ordinary universe venerables with 100 times the life gene level.

If it were an ordinary human cosmic overlord, he would have been able to directly transform into a divine body in a very short time.

"Lord of Ice and Fire, congratulations."

A gentle voice sounded from behind.

Wang Cheng turned around and found that Ye Xingkong had appeared behind him at some point.

"Thank you, Master."

Wang Cheng immediately bowed respectfully.

He discovered that even after breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he still felt that the Hongmeng Dao Lord, who was high above him, was unfathomable.

"Many powerful figures from the Hongmeng Dojo." "Besides me, you are the first universe master."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"If it weren't for the Dao Lord's cultivation, Wang Cheng wouldn't be where he is today."

Wang Cheng spoke with great sincerity.

He cultivated all the way to the position of the Lord of the Universe in less than 300,000 years, which would be enough to be called a "peerless genius" in the primordial universe.

However, the more talented someone is, the more humble they are, or rather, the more self-aware they are.

If there were no Five Elements universe, no Reincarnation Platform, no ancient civilization inheritance...

Even if Wang Cheng can become the master of the universe, who knows how many years it will take!
Talent is important, but the external environment is also very important.

"Now that you have broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, have you decided on a title?"

Ye Xingkong asked with a smile.

"Just as the Dao Lord just said, the Lord of Ice and Fire is excellent."

Wang Cheng said with a smile.

At the level of the Cosmic Venerable, all his skills were based on the secret technique of fusing water and fire.

Although he broke through to become the master of the universe through the Great Dao of Time and Space, his future understanding will also be directed towards comprehending the laws of the fusion of space, water, and fire.

The title of Lord of Ice and Fire suits him quite well.

"The birth of the second universe master in my Hongmeng Daoist Temple is a major event."

"I have already notified the Lord of the Universe of the human race to convene a supreme meeting to announce this matter."

Ye Xingkong was in a good mood.

The Lord of Ice and Fire is a true genius.

Such a genius might only be born once in a very long time, even among the entire human race.

The fact that the Hongmeng Daoist Temple could produce a Lord of Ice and Fire in less than 300,000 years can only be described as extremely lucky.

"Now that you have broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, I cannot remain silent."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

He was likely very generous to his subordinates.

In particular, since the Ice and Fire Venerable is a being born from the Five Elements Universe, there is no possibility of him betraying them.

"These life evolution potions should be enough for you to achieve perfect life genes."

Ye Xingkong first took out a large pile of extremely precious medicines.

"This……"

The Lord of Ice and Fire glared, his heart filled with excitement.

The Life Evolution Potion, such a treasure, is priced at one Treasure Point in the Primordial Treasure Vault.

Of course, as a high-ranking member of the Hongmeng Dojo, the Lord of Ice and Fire receives a discount when exchanging these treasures, requiring only 0.1 Treasure Points per item.

However, the thousands of Life Evolution Potions that Ye Xingkong casually gave out were worth nearly seven hundred Treasure Points in total.

Seven hundred Treasure Points are equivalent to several top-tier treasures, which is a huge sum for a Lord of the Universe.

"Thank you, Master."

"The Lord of Ice and Fire said excitedly."

The perfect life gene level is of great significance to him.

First, the divine body reaches a height of 100,000 kilometers, exceeding that of most special life forms, which means that the shortcomings of the divine body are eliminated.

Secondly, the primordial universe also bestows innate secret techniques, equivalent to the ultimate secret techniques of the cosmic master.

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Xingkong shook his head casually.

The true cost of the Life Evolution Potion is only thirty Treasure Points, not nearly as high as the Lord of Ice and Fire imagined.

Moreover, to become a true god, one must basically be at the level of perfect life genes.

Ye Xingkong's expectations for the Lord of Ice and Fire go far beyond just becoming the Lord of the Universe!

You need the right environment and the right secret techniques, so you should at least be able to break through to the level of a true god, right?

"The life evolution potion is nothing to me, so this doesn't count as a congratulatory gift."

"These two treasures... I entrust them to you."

After a moment of thought, Ye Xingkong took out two more treasures that were shimmering with a faint light.

One was an ancient suit of armor that radiated a chaotic golden hue.

One was a fist-sized, crystal-clear bead. Inside the bead, two lifelike dragon-shaped beasts, one blue and one red, roamed, radiating a powerful aura.

"This armor is called the Five Elements Battle Armor, which is equivalent to a top-tier treasure armor. You'll understand how to use it once you go back and think about it."

"This bead is called the 'Water and Fire Dragon-Suppressing Bead,' and it is a high-grade treasure of the soul type."

Ye Xingkong said lightly.

The Lord of Ice and Fire was extremely excited as he accepted the two treasures.

Two treasures equivalent to top-tier ultimate treasures!

Which universe ruler in the universe can obtain two top-tier treasures for free?

As expected of the Lord of Hongmeng Dao, he's incredibly generous!

"Thank you, Taoist Master!"

"I can never repay the Dao Lord's kindness in this lifetime!"

The Lord of Ice and Fire said with great emotion.

"Alright, let's go back and consolidate our cultivation level first."

Ye Xingkong waved his hand, looking completely indifferent.

For him, any treasure below the level of supreme treasure can be forged by himself.

"The fact that the second Lord of the Universe is Wang Cheng is exactly what I expected."

"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly..."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his expression quite calm.

Under the cultivation environment of the Five Elements Universe and with the guidance of ancient civilizations, the number of future universe masters in the Hongmeng Daoist Temple will only increase.

Let alone the Lord of Ice and Fire, even if it were someone like Kodi or the Venerable Fire Eclipse, they would most likely become Lords of the Universe.

However, at this stage, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple does indeed need a master of the universe.

After all, it doesn't look good that the huge sixth-largest top power is only supported by Ye Xingkong alone.

"As for the second one... I don't know how long we'll have to wait."

"Chen'er is considered to be the most promising, while the others still lack some experience."

Ye Xingkong shook his head.

The barrier of the Lord of the Universe is not so easy to overcome.

A peerless genius like Wang Cheng is not a common occurrence; it takes hundreds of millions of epochs for the entire human race to produce one.

The rest is up to time.

"As for the three cosmic kingdoms that were ceded by the three races, after thousands of years of sweeping, they are almost finished by now."

Ye Xingkong took this matter quite seriously.

After all, these three cosmic kingdoms are directly under the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, and the other five top forces are not qualified to interfere.

Given Ye Xingkong's various methods, these three directly subordinate universe nations must be different from ordinary universe nations.

"After Chen'er breaks through to the Universe Venerable realm, let him manage a universe kingdom."

"The way of cultivation lies in the balance of tension and relaxation. Simply engaging in fighting and killing is ultimately not enough. Management is also a kind of cultivation!"

Ye Xingkong gradually made up his mind. (End of this chapter)
