Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

The secret realm of dry witches.

A vast and mysterious starry sky.

An endless stream of purple energy converged in the starry sky to form a gigantic face, its merciless and indifferent gaze sweeping over the hundreds of immortal gods beneath it.

"Humph!"

"You... have disappointed me greatly."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura belonging to the overlord of the universe spread out, causing many immortal gods to tremble involuntarily.

The weakest of these immortal gods are all Marquis-level immortals, who would be big shots in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

But in front of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"One hundred million years have passed since the start of the decisive battle on the extraterritorial battlefield."

"My Qianwu Universe Kingdom has dispatched a total of 3182 immortals and more than a thousand cosmic legions to participate in the war!"

"Only a hundred million years have passed, and the cosmic legion has suffered more than 80% losses, with over a thousand immortals perishing!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.

The decisive battle on the outer battlefield is a great war between different races.

Each of the 1011 human space nations has an obligation to send a large number of soldiers to participate in the war.

It can be said that more than 99.99% of the soldiers on the extraterritorial battlefield came from the 1011 Space Nation.

However, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom also spent a lot of resources and energy to train so many subordinates.

The cosmic legion is one thing, after all, they are just cosmic-level, domain lord-level, and world lord-level beings.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has a vast territory, with 18,000 star fields and countless inhabited planets.

In addition, within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, there are many cosmic secret realms, as well as a large population in the divine kingdom of immortal gods.

It can be said that, given the size of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, any powerhouse below the Immortal level could easily assemble tens of thousands of cosmic legions.

Only immortality carries a different meaning.

The transition from Realm Lord to Immortal, possessing an eternal lifespan, represents a qualitative transformation.

Otherwise, the word "deity" wouldn't have been added after "immortal".

One is a god, the other is a mortal.

This is the difference between an immortal and a realm lord!
Over countless eras, the Qianwu Secret Realm has only cultivated a few thousand immortals.

The loss of over a thousand Immortals in this battle outside the realm is an absolutely enormous loss, and it's no wonder that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is so furious.

"Your Majesty, it's not that my brothers are weak."

"It's just that the Three Races Alliance suddenly launched a large-scale sweep against the 'Wanye Island' area, where our Qianwu Secret Realm experts have been venturing. Even several Universe Venerables were dispatched."

"It's not just us; our brothers from the Thousand Mountains Universe Kingdom and the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom have also suffered heavy casualties."

A lean man with a pair of black wings on his back looked bitter.

Manye Island is a dangerous area located in the Seventh Battlefield, generally suitable for those at the Marquis/Immortal level or below to venture into.

Most of the immortal gods sent by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to the outer battlefields fought in the Wanye Island area.

"Among the powerful figures who ventured to Manyo Island, very few even achieved the title of King or Immortal."

Another immortal who had been granted a title of nobility spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom sounded slightly doubtful.

Although the four peak races fought fiercely in the decisive battle on the outer battlefield.

However, generally speaking, the Cosmic Sovereign is unlikely to carry out large-scale massacres of enemy immortal gods.

Firstly, they disdain doing so.

As a true powerhouse in the vast universe, the Cosmic Venerable would generally possess the dignity befitting a strong person.

Massacring the weak will only invite ridicule from others.

Secondly, if one's own cosmic sovereign slaughters the enemy's immortal gods, then conversely, the enemy's immortal gods can also slaughter one's own immortals in a similar manner.

Unless they are truly driven to the point of bloodlust, they rarely engage in indiscriminate attacks.

The Cosmic Venerable... has his own battlefield.

If it were merely a casual kill of an enemy immortal god during a momentous battle, that wouldn't be a big deal.

In a battle between two armies, the goal is definitely to kill as many enemy soldiers as possible.

However, it's a different story if a cosmic venerable one goes to a high-stakes battle zone where immortals are enfeoffed to carry out a massacre.

"I will go to the Cosmic Venerable in the outer battlefield of the Fate Domain to investigate this matter."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded slightly, a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "If the three-race alliance really crosses the line, my race will make them pay the price."

"Okay, all of you, please step aside."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spoke indifferently.

"As ordered."

Many immortal deities bowed respectfully.

Boom~
The giant face formed by the purple aura in the starry sky vanished with a roar. The immortal gods looked at each other in relief upon seeing this.

"With the king's intervention, there shouldn't be any problems with this matter."

"It's a pity about Junku Hou and the others. They were really unlucky. They encountered a cosmic venerable from another race and couldn't even run away."

"The Three Races Alliance has been far too insidious this time. A dignified Universe Venerable has actually made a move against a Marquis Immortal!"

One by one, the immortals who had been granted titles shook their heads and departed from this starry sky.

······
The core area of ​​the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Yuanzhong Palace.

Ye Xingkong, dressed in white, stood calmly at the end of the palace, surrounded by wisps of primordial purple energy.

"teacher."

Upon seeing the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, Ye Xingkong smiled.

"Ye Xingkong, what brings you here?"

A hint of joy appeared on the face of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler, and he laughed, "You lad, you're usually reluctant to leave your Hongmeng Dao Palace."

"I missed my teacher, so I came to visit."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"Come on, come on!"

"Sit down and drink!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom waved his hand, took out an ancient black wine pot, and said happily, "This wine of mine has quite a history. I snatched it from a friend when I went to the secret realm of the Ancestral God Sect last time."

Ye Xingkong poured himself a small cup. It tasted refreshing and had a faint fragrance, yet it also felt like a flame burning in his throat.

"This wine has power!"

"A perfect blend of hot and cold, truly a fine wine."

Ye Xingkong nodded.

"This wine is extremely rare."

"It is said to be brewed using a spring of spiritual water from the beginning of the universe, and every sip you drink is one less sip you have left."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom carefully poured himself half a cup, took a sip with relish, and said, "It's only because you came that no one else gets this treatment."

"Teacher, was that about the extraterritorial battlefield?"

Ye Xingkong put down his wine glass and asked calmly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing serious."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head indifferently.

In reality, the immortal gods who fell in the final battle, as well as the cosmic rulers of the human race, will all be resurrected by using time-reversal techniques; it's just a matter of how long it will take.

Otherwise, given the ferocity of the extraterrestrial battlefields, even the cosmic sovereigns personally intervened, and it's unlikely that so many immortal gods would dare to participate.

"Teacher, you don't need to worry about this. I will have my staff handle it."

Ye Xingkong said calmly.

"it is good."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded with a smile.

With the mighty Lord of Hongmeng having spoken, there was naturally no need for him to worry about it anymore. To put it bluntly, the decisive battle in the outer realms was nothing more than a minor interlude for the true high-ranking members of the four peak races.

The fighting may go on and on, but there may not actually be a result.

It should be noted that no matter how fierce the battle was, the final battle lasted for a full 100 million years.

The resources consumed by the human race are roughly equivalent to a top-tier treasure, and these resources are mainly used to resurrect the Universe Venerable and the Immortal.

How much is a top-tier treasure?
For a ruler of the universe, this is indeed quite precious.

But compared to a top-tier clan, it's nothing at all.

"The battlefield outside the region is indeed very cruel, with countless lives lost every day."

"However, in the long run, many geniuses have emerged."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spoke with a touch of emotion.

Although the losses suffered by the Qianwu Secret Realm in the outer battlefields were considerable, many immortal gods also broke through in one great battle after another.

Overall, most of those who perished were ordinary immortals, but the number of those who were granted the title of Marquis actually increased by several.

"Born in sorrow, died in happiness."

"Maintaining a certain level of survival pressure may not necessarily be a bad thing."

Ye Xingkong smiled and said, "Since the three-race alliance is willing to fight, then we will accompany them to the end."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

It seems that Ye Xingkong is using the decisive battle in the outer battlefield as a whetstone for the strong members of the human race!
As the war continues, the three-race allied forces will undoubtedly be the first to succumb.

After all, in terms of racial heritage, the combined strength of the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race might not even match that of the current human race.

"Teacher, I have come to give you something."

Ye Xingkong shifted the topic away from the battlefield outside the region and revealed the true purpose of his trip.

"Oh?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom's eyes lit up and he laughed, "I want to see what good stuff you, the Lord of Hongmeng Dao, can come up with."

He had long been accustomed to his disciple's extraordinary abilities.

Even if Ye Xingkong took out a top-tier treasure right in front of him, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord would not be surprised at all.

"This thing is called the Enlightenment Fruit."

Ye Xingkong placed a crystal-clear white fruit in front of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

"The Fruit of Enlightenment?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler as he picked up the white fruit and examined it carefully.

The fruit was about the size of a fist, pure white, and emitted a faint, delicate fragrance.

What's so special about this fruit?

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at Ye Xingkong with a puzzled expression.

He has existed for an incredibly long time and is quite knowledgeable, yet he has never seen the so-called "fruit of enlightenment".

"This fruit is somewhat beneficial for breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe."

"After taking it, the probability of breaking through can be increased by about one in a thousand."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"what!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom jumped to his feet, trembling with excitement.

Lord of the Universe! One in a thousand chance!

What is this concept?
In this vast primordial universe, among billions of races and countless beings, the Lord of the Universe is already the figure at the very top of the pyramid of the strong.

The entire human race currently has only twenty-seven universe masters.

"Could it be that I really have a chance to reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom couldn't help but tremble, but he took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.

"Ye Xingkong, no matter what, your teacher has to thank you."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and said, "To be honest, this Enlightenment Fruit is of great significance to me."

"but……"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom paused, then shook his head and said, "Teacher, you cannot accept this Enlightenment Fruit; it is too precious."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom still had some self-awareness.

Yes, he is indeed Ye Xingkong's teacher.

When Ye Xingkong was still very weak, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom provided him with a lot of help.

This is why, even though Ye Xingkong was already the Hongmeng Dao Lord who could suppress three fifth-order universe lords with one hand, he still treated the Qianwu Kingdom Lord with the respect due to a teacher.

Over the years, Ye Xingkong has also given the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom many treasures.

The value of these treasures is more than a billion times that the Qianwu Kingdom Lord invested in Ye Xingkong.
“There are people who need this Enlightenment Fruit more than I do. It would be more meaningful for you to leave this fruit to your own family.”

"As for the teacher... he was able to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe on his own."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head, his tone resolute.

With the ancient civilization inheritance previously provided by Ye Xingkong, the Qianwu Kingdom ruler may not necessarily become the ruler of the universe, but his chances are definitely much greater than before.

"Haha, teacher, you don't need to be so polite."

Ye Xingkong smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "There's more than one Enlightenment Fruit. You can take it without worry."

"really?"

Although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was very interested, he still had some doubts.

After all, in his view, this Enlightenment Fruit was far too precious; it was practically priceless.

If placed in the outside world, some powerful forces would even be willing to exchange top-tier treasures for it.

"These teachers don't need to be taken care of."

"Just don't waste this Enlightenment Fruit."

Ye Xingkong said calmly with a smile, "I hope... this fruit can create the twenty-eighth universe master of the human race."

"Then I won't be polite."

After much hesitation, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom finally accepted the Enlightenment Fruit.

"This is right!"

"Why are you being polite to me?"

Ye Xingkong smiled and continued, "Of course, the Enlightenment Fruit is only an aid; what's truly important is one's own accumulation."

Next, he imparted some experience to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom on his journey to becoming a master of the universe before leaving the Qianwu Secret Realm.

A few days later.

News then spread from the Qianwu Secret Realm that the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom had gone into seclusion.

······
virtual universe.

Inside a magnificent hall wreathed in endless purple lightning.

A towering figure, a thousand meters tall, with purple eyes, stood respectfully in the main hall.

Beside him was a graceful white figure.

"Dian, what's the deal with Wanye Island in the Seventh Battlefield?"

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm.

"Reporting to the Dao Master."

The Mad Lightning Venerable, clad in purple black iron armor, said with a fanatical expression, "I have investigated this matter thoroughly. It was the work of the Desire Venerable of the Mochalan Clan."

"The Venerable Buyu is an extremely powerful being in the universe who is exceptionally skilled in the art of the soul."

"Because they have two cosmic venerable soul servants, even though they come from a weak race, they are very famous in the universe."

"As for the cause of the incident, it seems that the two offspring of Venerable Buyu were killed by our human race's powerful warriors in the Wanye Island area."

"The Venerable Buyu massacred the human immortals in the Manyo Island region to vent his anger."

"I am the Mad Lightning Venerable," he said, frowning.

Clearly, he was also very dissatisfied with the actions of Venerable Bhūṭa. (End of Chapter)
