Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Ye Xingkong examined the battle sword in his hand.

It is about six meters long, entirely golden, with intricate silver patterns engraved on the blade and a lifelike mythical beast carved on the hilt.

[Fragments of Gold]

[Quality: Star-level]

[Note: This is an ordinary battle sword, once the personal weapon of a true god-level powerhouse, which was lost here for unknown reasons.]

"The sword is named 'Shattered Gold,' but unfortunately, it is a standard-issue combat sword."

A hint of regret flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

As a master craftsman, although his success rate in forging supreme treasures was rather disappointing, he still had a keen eye for crafting them.

This supreme and precious battle blade is far inferior to the "Void Chessboard".

Standard treasures, as the name suggests, are those that can be mass-produced and are obviously not very valuable.

True super-strong individuals seek treasures that perfectly suit them, allowing them to unleash their strongest combat power.

Each person has different secret techniques and fighting habits, so the treasures that suit them are naturally diverse.

The standard "Supreme Treasure" can only be said to be barely usable, unable to unleash its full power, but it is still much stronger than the peak treasure.

"The primitive universe was scarce in resources, and treasures were hard to come by. So what was the point of having any kind of standard or unstandardized system?"

"It's already good enough if we have a supreme treasure that we can use!"

Ye Xingkong didn't mind at all and happily put away the "Shattered Gold" battle sword.

The Five Elements Clone is skilled in close-combat swordsmanship. Just from the name of this sword, you can tell it's related to the "Law of Metal" and the "Law of Space," making it perfect for the Five Elements Clone to use.

"I can now consider myself a man who possesses two supreme treasures!"

Ye Xingkong was in a very good mood.

This being possesses the supreme treasure "Void Chessboard," masters the seventh-tier secret technique "Myriad Stars," and can unleash eighth-tier combat power in the cosmic sea;

With the Five Elements Avatar combined with this supreme treasure battle blade, one can unleash eighth-tier combat power;

As for the third clone, "Huang," he possesses ninth-tier combat power.

but……

Having explored the Abyss Rift for several months, Ye Xingkong had fought against many True God-level Blood Demons and gained some profound insights.

That is, the so-called eighth-order combat power of the Cosmic Sea is actually inferior to the "eighth-order" of the Seven Towers Realm.

The difference lies not only in the secret techniques and treasures, but also in the environment in which they exist.

In the cosmic sea, due to the suppression of the primordial cosmic consciousness, the strongest beings in each universe can only use divine power at a level of cosmic lord with ten thousand times the genetic power.

In other words, there is not much difference in divine power between a true god and a lord of the universe.

But in reality, the transformation from the master of the universe to a true god involves a hundredfold increase in divine power alone.

Those who can become true gods generally have a life gene level that is ten thousand times higher.

Therefore, without the suppression of the original cosmic consciousness, a true god's divine power alone would be equivalent to a cosmic lord at the level of life genes, a million times stronger.

In the Seven Towers Realm, True Gods can unleash even greater power.

Or rather, the so-called "seventh-order" combat power displayed by the true god in the cosmic sea is actually a hundred times weaker than the true seventh-order combat power.

In the cosmic ocean, even the most powerful cosmic rulers can rival the strongest beings in the universe.

However, even a sixth-order universe lord in the Seven Towers Realm would not dare to easily provoke a true god-level powerhouse.

The threshold to true godhood is like an insurmountable chasm!
"The primordial universe is like a beginner's village, protecting the weak in every way."

"But once you step outside the realm of what the original universe can control, such good things will no longer be possible."

Ye Xingkong felt very emotional.

Of his main body and three clones, only the third clone, "Huang," can truly unleash the combat power of a ninth-tier being.

Even with the most powerful treasures, the main body and the five elemental clones would find it difficult to contend with a true god-level expert in the Seven Towers Realm.

Of course, the situation would be completely different in the primordial universe.

With the three major combat forces unleashed, they could almost sweep away the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race.

However, Panwu, who had always been regarded by Ye Xingkong as the main combat clone, suddenly became the weakest of the four combat forces.

"The injury has almost fully recovered."

“Keep exploring!”

As Ye Xingkong felt his body gradually recover, his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

In just a few months, he obtained an extremely powerful treasure and many rare and precious materials from the abyss rift.

If we were to explore for thousands or tens of thousands of years, I simply couldn't imagine it!
Especially after Ye Xingkong cultivated the "Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique", his demand for True God-level natural treasures increased significantly.

The Abyss Rift, which was considered a "forbidden zone" by powerful outsiders, was no less than a treasure trove in his eyes.

"The Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique is a God-King level secret art, and can be called the most core inheritance of the Jin God-King lineage."

"The requirements for mastering this secret technique are also very high."

Ye Xingkong was deep in thought.

First, it requires an extremely high level of skill in weapon crafting.

Secondly, it requires a large number of rare and precious natural materials.

Third, there are certain requirements regarding the genetic level of life.

These three requirements... make cultivating the "Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique" extremely difficult, even the God King of Jin himself did not achieve mastery.

"The first level of the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique is the simplest to cultivate."

"Requires the ability to refine top-tier treasures, several true god-level rare materials, and a perfect life gene level."

"Once mastered, the body will be as hard as a top-grade treasure."

Ye Xingkong sighed softly.

The first layer is still the simplest.

As for the second level, it requires the ability to refine the most powerful treasures, and requires several Void True God-level natural treasures, dozens of True God-level natural treasures, and a perfect life gene level.

Once the second level is mastered, the body will be as powerful and precious as a supreme treasure.

This secret technique is indeed incredibly powerful, making one virtually invincible in terms of physical strength, but its requirements are also extremely demanding.

"Originally, my chances of mastering the second level were slim."

"But now that we've entered the [Abyss Rift], we might find that there's still hope."

Ye Xingkong took a deep breath.

Whether for the ultimate treasure or for a large quantity of rare and precious materials, he was determined to explore the Abyss Rift.

······
How big is the Abyss Rift?

To this day, this remains a secret within the Seven Towers.

Or rather, it's likely that no powerful individual has ever explored the entire [Abyss Rift].

Bang!
Ye Xingkong casually threw a punch, blasting another True God-level Blood Demon into a cloud of blood mist.

Ding ~ Ding ~
Two crisp voices sounded.

Ye Xingkong walked forward expressionlessly and threw two palm-sized metal blocks into his storage space.

Tungsten gold, a divine-level natural treasure, can be used as the main material for refining the most powerful treasures.

Its value is naturally very high; at least, such a treasure has never appeared in the primordial universe.

For Ye Xingkong, who had been exploring the Abyss Rift for two and a half years, it was better than nothing.

"Unfortunately, no second supreme treasure dropped after that."

Ye Xingkong felt a little regretful.

Over the past two and a half years, his achievements have been mediocre.

Aside from the very first time it dropped a supreme treasure, subsequent drops were mostly just divine-level rare and precious materials. Most of the time, nothing dropped at all.

Ye Xingkong had no choice but to get used to the abysmal drop rate in the Seven Towers Realm.

After all, even the most powerful treasures aren't as common as cabbages; you can't just come to the Abyss Rift to buy them in bulk.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Not far away, two more True God-level Blood Demons materialized.

One of them was particularly tall, with more exquisite armor, and its whole body exuded a soaring aura of bloodlust.

"It's a ninth-tier Blood Demon!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes lit up.

True god-level blood demons are naturally divided into seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks.

Generally speaking, the stronger you are, the higher the probability of dropping items.

Ye Xingkong's previous success in obtaining a supreme treasure after killing a seventh-tier blood demon can be described as pure luck.

"Die!"

Without hesitation, Ye Xingkong took a step that covered hundreds of kilometers, and then unleashed a powerful punch.

Bang!
The seventh-tier blood demon didn't even have time to react before it was blasted into dust by a single punch.

The difference between the seventh and ninth tiers is simply too great!

"Run away when you encounter someone stronger than yourself, and attack directly when you encounter someone weaker than yourself."

"This is how I navigate the Abyss Rift!"

Ye Xingkong felt no shame for bullying the weak and fearing the strong; in fact, he became even more courageous in battle.

With each punch and kick, he fought the remaining ninth-tier blood demon to a standstill.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Ye Xingkong's punches landed squarely, his unparalleled strength combined with his body, comparable to a top-tier treasure, forcefully causing the ninth-tier Blood Demon's armor to collapse.

However, the battle was very intense.

The ninth-tier Blood Demon unleashed a blade of light, leaving a long gash on Ye Xingkong's body.

In fact, this primitive and rough fighting style was not what Ye Xingkong wanted to see.

Although the "Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique" can make your body as hard as a supreme treasure, its true purpose is not to let you engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Instead, after mastering the technique, one should then place another layer of supreme armor on their body to further enhance their strength!

However, Ye Xingkong didn't want to use the treasure because this clone simply couldn't use it.

The most basic principle in using a treasure is to use divine power to activate its runes, which is the only way to unleash its full power.

However, Ye Xingkong's third avatar "Huang" and the Devouring Star cultivation system are not on the same path.

Without divine power, a supreme treasure is like a cell phone without power; it might not even be as useful as a brick.

boom! boom! boom!
The void was filled with afterimages of the two fighting, each punch landing with a powerful roar.

"happy!"

Ye Xingkong roared inwardly.

As time passed, he managed to suppress the ninth-tier blood demon by trading blows for damage.

After all, it is just a monster generated from the Seven Towers Realm, and there is still a big gap between it and a true ninth-order true god. At least it will not run away when the situation is bad.

"Die to me!"

Ye Xingkong unleashed a punch that blasted a large hole in the armor of the ninth-tier Blood Demon.

Wow~
The ninth-tier blood demon vanished into a sky full of blood mist, and then, it was gone.

Ye Xing was panting heavily when he didn't hear the expected crisp tinkling sound, and his smile instantly froze on his face.

Cheating!
I finally managed to kill a ninth-tier blood demon, and you can't even protect a true god-level treasure?
Just then, the earth and sky shook.

The bloodthirsty aura throughout the entire [Abyss Rift] seemed to be drawn by something, and instantly surged violently.

"Looks like it's the day of blood coagulation again..."

"Never mind, let's find somewhere to hide first!"

Ye Xingkong looked up at the sky, his expression solemn.

At the edge of the world, a rich red color was gradually gathering, seemingly a scarlet sun slowly rising.

Deep within that crimson hue, something terrifying seemed to be brewing!
Ye Xingkong felt a chill run down his spine just from looking at him for a single glance.

Having spent so much time in the Abyss Rift, he naturally grasped some of its patterns.

Whenever the "Day of Blood Coagulation" occurs, the Blood Demons in the [Abyss Rift] will collectively riot, and their strength will suddenly increase to a higher level.

Even the weakest seventh-tier blood demon can unleash eighth-tier combat power, and blood demons at the Void God level are particularly active.

"The last time the blood clotted was nine months ago."

Ye Xingkong returned to the shelter he had prepared in advance and made a mental note.

He spent two and a half years exploring the Abyss Rift, a place where blood coagulation occurred four times.

Once the day of blood coagulation arrives, the Blood Demon's strength will increase significantly, but the drop rate of items will remain unchanged. Of course, he wouldn't go looking for trouble.

The period of blood clotting usually lasts for half a month to a month, which is not long, so he just treats it as a time to rest.

After all, prolonged, high-intensity combat is a huge burden for Ye Xingkong.

Given the dangerous environment of the Abyss Rift, if he hadn't been able to escape at any time with the help of the "Primordial Mirror," he probably would have perished long ago.

"My previous battles with the True God-level Blood Demons have exposed many weaknesses of this clone of mine."

"That is, the means of combat are simply too limited!"

Ye Xingkong sat cross-legged on the ground, healing his wounds while reflecting on the previous battles.

The clone "Wilderness" did not follow the orthodox path of devouring the starry sky, so it did not use the treasures and secret techniques of the Origin Continent at all.

"Therefore, if you want to enrich your combat methods, you can only rely on creating them yourself!"

Ye Xingkong took a deep breath and began to calm down and cultivate.

······
primordial universe.

Headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo, Ancient Origin Star.

A tremendous tremor suddenly erupted from the palace, which was engulfed in flames.

boom!
The boundless sea of ​​fire unleashed a giant wave thousands of meters high, surging wildly out of the palace until it collided with a transparent protective shield outside the palace, at which point the fiery wave gradually subsided.

"What a pity, another supreme treasure has been ruined in the refining process!"

In the very center of the palace, Ye Xingkong himself was dressed in white, but his face was as black as charcoal.

The commotion just now was naturally caused by his failure to refine the treasure.

"The difficulty of forging a supreme treasure is simply not on the same level as that of a peak treasure!"

With a wave of his hand, Ye Xingkong instantly restored the chaotic hall to calm, but he sighed inwardly.

In the past two and a half years, the third clone "Huang" risked his life in the [Abyss Rift], and most of the wealth he obtained was squandered by the main body.

"Including the previous attempts, this is the fifth failure."

Ye Xingkong frowned and glanced at the World Ring with his divine power.

There are still nine True God-level rare treasures left, which is not a small number. In the primordial universe, they would be the kind of treasures you could get robbed on the street.

However, if he continues like this, even the most rare and precious treasures won't be enough to satisfy him!

"Let's summarize our experience first, and then begin the sixth refining process."

Ye Xingkong calmed himself down, glanced at the proficiency panel, and felt a little more confident.

At least he has the advantage of proficiency; as long as he keeps trying, his skill level will naturally increase.

The art of weapon crafting ultimately requires extensive practice, and consuming rare and precious materials is perfectly normal. (End of Chapter)
