Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

"All motherships, listen to my command! Lead your troops to encircle and annihilate the remaining alien forces!"

Having received the coordinates from the Nine Extremes and Eight Directions Domain, the Black Dragon spoke with a murderous aura.

With a single command, the entire Tianchen Universe Kingdom began to mobilize.

Enormous warships set out, densely covering most of the starry sky, each fully loaded with heavily armed space warriors.

"It seems my guess was right; there really is a King among the remnants of the demon race!"

Black Dragon's eyes turned cold.

If a King-level Immortal were to unleash their full power, they could probably destroy an entire star system with ease.

Given enough time, he could potentially destroy an entire star system.

Although the Black Dragon himself possessed the strength to become a king, he ultimately had to take care of the entire Tianchen Universe Kingdom, while the other side only needed to cause destruction.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it!

Black Dragon dared not imagine that if he attacked blindly and inadvertently fell into a trap set up in advance by the immortal demon race, it would give that demon race king ample time to wreak havoc, and the resulting losses would be absolutely incalculable.

The opponent doesn't need to kill the black dragon, or even pose a threat; simply trapping it is enough.

"With the Sky Eye surveillance system this time, I don't believe you can escape!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Black Dragon's eyes.

That demon king... of course, he would personally deal with him.

"Black Dragon King, I wish you every success!"

Qi Xinwang smiled and said that he did not suggest joining forces with the Black Dragon to besiege the demon king.

After all, everyone has their own responsibilities.

The Black Dragon's duty is to exterminate all demons within the Tianchen Universe Kingdom. If King Qixin were to offer to help, it would inevitably raise suspicions of him "sharing" the spoils of war.

Secondly...

When facing other immortals who are also immortals from the Hongmeng Dojo, the power of the immortals they are bestowed upon is almost overwhelming.

Purple Sun Body Forging Method, Ancient Ruins God Forging Method, Immortal-level Plant Life...

With all sorts of methods at his disposal, there's no possibility that the Black Dragon couldn't defeat that demon king.

"Thank you!"

Black Dragon cupped his hands in greeting to King Qixin, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, before leading his mighty army toward the rebels' stronghold.

······
At this moment.

In the virtual world "Nine Towers Realm" built by the Nine Extremes and Eight Directions Domain.

"Master, do you want to load the built-in 'Torch Relay Project' program module?"

The voice of Heaven, devoid of any emotion, rang out.

"it is good"

Ye Xingkong nodded slowly.

In the Origin Continent, what is the greatest function of a virtual world?
It's not communication, it's not entertainment, it's cultivation!

To be precise, it is used to select and cultivate geniuses.

boom!
There was a loud noise.

Ye Xingkong looked up and saw a majestic nine-story golden tower at the end of the starry sky.

From any point on any planet, simply look up and you will see the phantom of that endlessly tall ancient tower.

"This is... the Spark Program?"

Ye Xingkong looked into the distance.

In reality, the so-called nine-story tower at the end of the starry sky is just a phantom; it does not have a real form and is essentially just a trial space.

All you need to do is apply for permission from "Heavenly Dao" to enter the trial space.

"Master, shall we enter the Flame Space for a trial?"

The voice of Heaven resounded.

"it is good."

Ye Xingkong nodded, feeling somewhat eager to try.

He wanted to see what was so special about the trial space designed by the forces that created the "Nine Extremes and Eight Directions Domain".

swoosh~
A flash of white light flashed.

The next second, Ye Xingkong appeared in a boundless starry sky, and a transparent figure appeared in front of him.

[Name: Lord of the Primordial Chaos]

[Realm: Master of Laws]

[Life gene level: 10081 times]

[Level: First Level]

"Hello, challenger."

"Welcome to the Flame Space. Please prepare yourselves; the battle will begin in thirty seconds!"

A cold voice sounded.

Thirty seconds later.

A flash of white light appeared, and a gray-robed figure emanating chaotic energy appeared in the starry sky.

"kill!"

The gray-robed man held a blood-red battle blade. With a flash of light, the blade cleaved through a silver scar stretching for hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Wherever the blade flashed, space shattered inch by inch.

"I rely on!"

"The first level already has the strength of a universe master?"

Ye Xingkong was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening.

The force that created the "Nine Extremes and Eight Directions Domain" originated from the Origin Continent.

On the continent of origin, any life form can easily become a true god through cultivation, and the lord of the universe is generally regarded as a child.

So, it's normal that the first level of the Trial Space is at the level of the Lord of the Universe, right?
boom!
Ye Xingkong stretched out his right hand and gently clenched it, instantly shattering the ferocious blade light.

The difference in strength is too great; one doesn't even need to use their full strength to defeat the opponent.

"His understanding of the laws is probably at the level of a beginner cosmic master."

"The level of life's genes is a thousand times greater."

"The level of the secret technique is first tier."

Ye Xingkong looked thoughtful.

In other words, the opponent in this first layer is probably the weakest universe lord on the Origin Continent.

However, even the weakest one has a life gene level a thousand times higher.

In the primordial universe, unless one is a special life form, it would take a third-order universe lord to have a thousand times more life genes.

Ye Xingkong didn't stop and continued to the next level.

The second level is still a first-order universe master, but the strength is slightly greater than that of a second-order master.

the third floor……

The fourth floor...

It wasn't until the eleventh level that the opponent became a second-order universe master, and the level of life genes was also raised to three thousand times.

Upon reaching the fifty-first level, the opponent transformed into a fifth-order universe master, a perfect life gene level.

Ye Xingkong fought his way through the levels until he reached the eightieth floor before finally stopping.

"The opponent on the eightieth floor possesses a seventh-order secret technique, perfect life genes, and a complete understanding of several fusion laws."

"This level... is almost the limit of the seventh rank."

"Once you cross that threshold, it will mean you have eighth-tier strength."

After failing several times in his attempts to reach the 80th floor, Ye Xingkong didn't bother wasting any more time.

After all, it was a trial space created by the forces of the Origin Continent. The last level probably had the strength of a Void True God, so it's normal that I couldn't pass it.

"The Torch Space, if it's just a trial space, isn't anything special."

"After all, even the virtual universe can create a seven-story trial tower in the Genius Battle."

Ye Xingkong's eyes gleamed.

What makes the Firelight Space special is that it simulates opponents that are so perfect and comprehensive that they can almost perfectly test the strength of the challengers.

As for the trial tower created in the virtual universe, it appears quite crude in comparison.

It must be said that the virtual universe is able to accomplish many incredible things largely because the Primal Ancestor possessed the original universe. As for its secret techniques and technological capabilities, the virtual universe is quite ordinary.

Of course, this is in comparison to the secret techniques of the Origin Continent.

"The Virtual Universe Company selects geniuses through a Cosmic Genius Battle, where countless star-level geniuses battle each other to select a small group of the most outstanding geniuses."

"It is precisely because of the enormous resources required and the complicated process that the Genius Battle is held once every era."

"But if we had the Fire Space, I wonder how much trouble it would save us."

Ye Xingkong nodded slightly.

As expected of the forces from the Origin Continent, their methods of cultivating geniuses far surpass those of the Primitive Universe.

As long as one sets a standard for oneself, specifying age and realm, and as long as one breaks through to a certain level of the Flame Space, one can become a core member of the Primordial Daoist Temple.

This would increase efficiency many times over, essentially making it a battle of geniuses every single moment.

"Of course, to implement this plan, we must first change the difficulty of the Spark Space."

Ye Xingkong shook his head.

He could already picture a stellar-level genius entering the Flame Space full of ambition, only to find that his first opponent was the Lord of the Universe.

"As for the difficulty, let's start with the apprentice level."

"After all, the philosophy of my Hongmeng Dojo is that everyone can become a dragon and promote martial arts for all!"

Under Ye Xingkong's planning, the difficulty of the Torch Space was quickly reset, with new levels ranging from apprentice to cosmic venerable.

Furthermore, he also created three major ranking lists: "Heaven, Earth, and Man," in a very flamboyant manner.

The list is updated in real time, and every living being in the entire Nine Towers Realm can see it simply by looking up.

The Ranking of People only includes the top one million strongest individuals below the Immortal level.
The Earth Ranking lists the top 10,000 immortal powerhouses.
The Heavenly Ranking lists the top 100 cosmic masters.

By the time……

"Hiss~ Is he the Venerable XX who ranks tenth on the Heavenly Ranking?"

"Those ranked below the top 100 on the Earthly Ranking are all ants."

"You are Luo Feng, the peerless genius ranked number one on the Human Ranking? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Thinking about these scenes, Ye Xingkong felt a sense of déjà vu, like reading a typical fantasy novel.

"In any case, the existence of rankings can objectively promote healthy competition among geniuses and strong individuals."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

Of course, these three ranking lists—Heaven, Earth, and Man—are not just empty lists.

In each era, the Hongmeng Daoist Academy will also give some special rewards according to the ranking, which can be regarded as an aid to these geniuses and strong people in their cultivation.

As for why there is no list of the Lords of the Universe?

The Lord of the Universe is already the highest level of the race, and can be considered a contributor to the race, so there is naturally no need for any ranking.

After inspecting the "Spark Space" and finding it to be quite good in all aspects, Ye Xingkong left the "Nine Towers Realm" with satisfaction.

At that time, we will wait to relocate a large number of people to the three directly subordinate universe nations before officially launching the Nine Extremes and Eight Directions Domain.

······
The starry sky, infinitely far from the territory of humankind.

Cold Rain Secret Realm.

Unlike some extremely dangerous but also treasure-filled secret realms in the primordial universe.

The Cold Rain Secret Realm is highly dangerous and has a harsh environment, but it is also notoriously barren.

As a result, virtually no powerful individuals venture into the Cold Rain Secret Realm, and the secret realm itself has not even given rise to any races or life forms.

Spatial fluctuations arose.

Two figures appeared in the starry sky outside the Cold Rain Secret Realm.

"Little White, is this where your Feather Clan lives?"

Ye Chen swept his divine power across the surrounding starry sky, his brows furrowing slightly.

Harsh environment, scarce resources, sparse cosmic energy, extremely low concentration of primordial laws...

It is safe to say that no ethnic group would ever reproduce in such a place.

Relocating a people to such a place essentially means "slow death."

"Although the universe is vast and expansive, the number of races is also extremely large, far exceeding hundreds of millions?"

"The territory that can truly support the survival and reproduction of a people is extremely limited."

Bai Qingyu sighed softly.

This is the tragedy of the weak.

Ye Chen nodded silently without saying a word.

Happiness is created by comparison.

Even among human species, the lowest levels of life are still miserable, such as apprentices who do not even have basic civil rights.

However, these people are at least able to live normal lives.

The five top powers also strictly prohibit powerful individuals from engaging in indiscriminate killing, and will punish any obviously cruel acts.

In contrast, the winged race was in a much worse situation.

"Achen, come with me."

"Without the guidance of a Feather Clan member, you will not be able to find my Feather Clan's settlement."

A slight smile appeared on Bai Qingyu's pretty face.

"it is good."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded.

Bai Qingyu's decision to bring her to the land where the Feather Clan lived and thrived signified absolute trust.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the depths of the Cold Rain Secret Realm.

The Cold Rain Secret Realm, just as its name suggests, is filled with drops of icy water floating in the starry sky.

The densely packed water droplets resembled rapidly moving shooting stars.

Each drop of water contains an astonishing weight, coupled with terrifying speed. If one were to be hit head-on, even a Marquis-level Immortal would perish instantly, and even a King-level Immortal would not dare to withstand it.

Fortunately, these dangers posed no threat to the Cosmic Venerable.

Or rather, there was no danger in the entire Cold Rain Secret Realm that could threaten the Universe Venerable.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two continued flying deeper into the secret realm, and the deeper they went, the greater the density of the "raindrops".

Later on, the dense raindrops moved erratically, making it impossible to dodge them; the only option was to endure the rain with one's body.

Boom~
Nine pairs of shimmering wings extended from behind Ye Chen, each pair being several thousand meters long.

boom! boom! boom!
The precious wings folded together in front of her, forming a circular protective shield that quickly enveloped Bai Qingyu.

"Little White, I'll protect you."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

He has already broken through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, so naturally he is not afraid of these "raindrops".

However, Bai Qingyu was pregnant and had not yet broken through to the Immortal Realm, remaining only a Realm Lord.

Of course, with her current understanding of the laws, breaking through to immortality is quite simple.

Bai Qingyu didn't say anything, but just showed a happy smile.

"arrive."

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Qingyu stopped flying and looked at the distant starry sky.

Ye Chen hovered in the starry sky and looked into the distance.

This is already the deepest part of the Cold Rain Secret Realm. The density and power of the "raindrops" are greater than in the outer area. Even a low-level King-level Immortal could perish if he is not careful.

However, in this starry sky where almost no one can reach, there is a continent with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers floating.

A transparent cyan protective shield lies directly above the continent, protecting it from the attacks of tens of thousands of "raindrops".

"You Feathered Clan... live on such a small continent?"

Ye Chen was very surprised.

This continent is not even as big as a single planet within the territory of humankind.

"The Cold Rain Secret Realm has a harsh environment, and it is impossible for anyone below the cosmic level to survive there."

"The vast majority of our race's life exists within the Immortal God Kingdom. Only a very few geniuses with the potential to break through to immortality are qualified to live outside."

Bai Qingyu lowered her head, and a hint of inferiority unconsciously surfaced in her tone.

The Winged Race's plight... compared to the human race, seems utterly insignificant. (End of Chapter)
