Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Generally speaking, only beings at the Dao Lord level are qualified to issue the Hongmeng Decree of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

Since its founding hundreds of millions of years ago, only five super-strong individuals have been called "Dao Masters".

The one ranked first is naturally Ye Xingkong, the Hongmeng Dao Master, who holds the highest position.

Below the Hongmeng Dao Lord are four Deputy Dao Lords: Tianxuan Dao Lord Ye Xuan, Tianchen Dao Lord Ye Chen, Tianqing Dao Lord Ye Qing, and Tianlan Dao Lord Ye Lan.

Even the second universe master of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, the Ice and Fire Master, is below the four deputy Dao masters in terms of status.

Ok!

In fact, the so-called highest level of the Hongmeng Dojo is just the Ye family's one-man rule.

After all, the entire Hongmeng Dojo was created by Ye Xingkong.

The cultivation resources, secret techniques, and cultivation venues that truly drive outside experts crazy within the Hongmeng Dojo were all provided by Ye Xingkong.

Without Ye Xingkong, the Hongmeng Dojo would no longer be the Hongmeng Dojo.

At this moment.

Ancient Origin Star, some unknown place.

In the void, a huge black stone round table floated, with five thrones standing in the four directions.

The four super-strong individuals beside this stone table are Ye Xuan, Ye Chen, Ye Qing, and Ye Lan.

While their ability to become deputy Dao Masters of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple, second only to Ye Xingkong, is largely due to Ye Xingkong, their own abilities in all aspects are also impeccable.

In terms of strength, although they are all only Universe Venerables, they have all cultivated the inherited secret techniques of the Origin Continent, possess numerous special abilities, and have reached a perfect level in terms of life genes. They are also completely free of supreme treasures and precious items...

Or rather, Ye Xingkong was just short of giving each of them an extremely powerful treasure!

In summary, all four deputy Dao Masters of the Hongmeng Daoist Academy possess at least the strength of a third-tier Universe Lord.

Aside from not being able to control time and space, he is actually no different from the ruler of the universe.

"Father means that we should make some big moves on the battlefield outside the region this time!"

Ye Xuan looked at the other four figures, her pretty face expressionless.

"Oh?"

"A big move, how big?"

Ye Qing sat on the throne, raised his eyebrows, and asked with some surprise.

"As big as you want!"

Ye Xuan's expression was indifferent, and her tone was very calm.

However, his words caused a look of surprise to appear on the faces of the other four people.

"You mean... our Hongmeng Dojo no longer needs to endure this?"

Ye Qing's eyes widened, and her tone became excited.

The four deputy Dao Masters, who manage the vast Hongmeng Daoist Temple, have always had their own division of labor.

Ye Xuan was mainly responsible for internal affairs, while Ye Qing was responsible for external affairs, such as war, espionage, and intelligence.

The highest-ranking administrator of the Hongmeng Dojo in the outer battlefield, "Raging Lightning Venerable," is one of Ye Qing's subordinates.

However, for the past hundred million years, Ye Qing has been in charge of external affairs, which has actually been quite frustrating.

Because, under Ye Xingkong's orders, the Hongmeng Dojo has always exercised restraint and forbearance in its handling of external affairs over the years.

Yes!

To powerful outsiders, it was already an incredible feat that the Hongmeng Daoist Temple could develop to such a scale in just one hundred million years.

However, what these powerful figures did not know was that what they saw was under the circumstances of the Hongmeng Dojo's extreme "restraint" and "patience".

"Don't be too happy too early."

Ye Xuan glanced coldly at Ye Qing and said indifferently, "We can only unleash some of our strength in the extraterritorial battlefield. We still can't expose too much of our true high-end combat power."

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Ye Qing said with a sense of pride.

The high-end combat power of the Hongmeng Dojo has actually been seriously underestimated by the outside world.

After all, on the surface, the Hongmeng Dojo only has two universe masters: Ye Xingkong himself and the Ice and Fire Master.

In reality, just the four of them—Huanling, Ye Xuan, Ye Chen, Ye Lan, and Ye Qing—already constitute five genuine universe lords in terms of combat power.

Among Ye Xingkong's seventeen soul servants, there is now one who has broken through to the level of a universe master.

Strictly speaking, if a full-scale war were to break out between the four peak races in the next second, the Hongmeng Dojo could easily pull out ten Universe Lords.

It should be noted that among the six top human powers, the Giant Axe Arena only has seven Universe Lords.

At least at the level of the Lord of the Universe, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple is already the leader of the six major human powers.

"At least until Father truly breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, the Hongmeng Dojo cannot reveal too much of its strength."

Michelle Ye also sighed softly.

She knew, of course, the frustration Ye Qing felt. He clearly possessed great strength, yet he couldn't freely display it.

Firstly, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has developed too rapidly, which has already attracted the attention of many forces in the universe.

If the billions of races in the universe knew that Ye Xingkong possessed a legacy that allowed him to transcend, they would definitely put pressure on the human race without hesitation.

Ye Xingkong is very strong, but he is not strong enough to suppress all the strong people in the universe by himself.

Even the original ancestor could not have done this.

As for the second reason, it is related to Ye Xingkong's consistently steady personality.

As a cheater who's as steady as a rock...

When Ye Xingkong is weaker than his enemy, he will choose to endure it because he cannot defeat the opponent.

Even when his strength surpasses that of his enemy, Ye Xingkong will still choose to endure, because he may be able to defeat them but not be confident in killing them, and it would be easy to alert the enemy.

Even when he was confident of killing the enemy, Ye Xingkong still chose to endure, because even if he could kill him, the enemy's last-ditch counterattack could cause him heavy losses.
Ye Xingkong will only truly make a move when his strength far surpasses that of his enemy and he can kill them effortlessly.

Therefore, neither Ye Xingkong himself nor the entire Hongmeng Dojo have revealed more than the tip of the iceberg to the outside world in recent years.

"Once the Hongmeng Decree is issued, I estimate that only some of the true geniuses and experts of my Hongmeng Dojo will have a slight interest in going to the outer battlefield to fight."

"There are quite a few good things in this Hongmeng Token. It remains to be seen whether they can make the most of it."

Michelle Ye nodded slightly, a faint smile on her face.

"hey-hey!"

"Among the immortal geniuses of this era in our Hongmeng Daoist Temple, there are quite a few potential killers."

Ye Qing also grinned.

He could already imagine the bloodbath that would ensue when some of the prodigies from the Hongmeng Daoist Academy entered the extraterrestrial battlefield.

······
at the same time.

In a palace shrouded in endless lightning, on a battlefield beyond the borders.

"Sir, why are you here?"

The Venerable Mad Lightning looked surprised and spoke in a very respectful tone.

"Alright, why are we still arguing about this and that?"

The black dragon entered the palace, waved his hand, and smiled on his face, which was covered with black dragon scales.

"Don't dare."

The Mad Lightning Venerable quickly shook his head, his tone very respectful.

At first...

Around 100 million years ago, both the Mad Lightning Venerable and the Black Dragon were at the Qianwu branch of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

At that time, Black Dragon was the Minister of Commerce of the Qianwu Branch, and Mad Lightning Venerable was still a Marquis and Immortal, and was Black Dragon's subordinate.

A mere hundred million years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Black Dragon has become a top-tier cosmic overlord, while the Lightning Lord is slightly weaker, but is still a cosmic overlord.

It can be said that the two had a very deep friendship.

"The Daoist temple has issued the Primordial Decree this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the extraterrestrial battlefield will become chaotic."

Black Dragon sat on the throne without any ceremony and laughed, "The higher-ups of the dojo are afraid that the three-race alliance might resort to desperate measures, so they sent me here to keep an eye on things."

"So it was because of the Primordial Chaos Token." Venerable Kuangdian nodded, then a look of envy appeared on his face. "What a pity, why didn't we encounter such a good opportunity back then?"

This time, the Hongmeng Order is mainly aimed at the battlefield outside the domain.

At that time, every powerful member of the Hongmeng Dojo will be able to receive a token, namely the Hongmeng Token.

Once you enter the extraterrestrial battlefield, every time you kill a powerful alien race, it will be recorded by the Hongmeng Token and you will gain battle merits.

Once you have accumulated a certain number of battle merits, you can use your consciousness to enter the Hongmeng Token and exchange it for treasures.

Because each Hongmeng Token contains a wealth of treasures, including supreme treasures, important treasures, and life evolution potions.

It's important to know that if you were to exchange these treasures in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault normally, the contribution points required would be astronomical.

Therefore, the issuance of the Hongmeng Decree can be considered an extremely grand event at the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

"Haha, different people have different opportunities."

Some things cannot be forced.

Heilong stroked the Black Dragon Mace in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

For example, this supreme treasure of mine is something that other powerful individuals wouldn't even dare to dream of!

Ang~
The Black Dragon Mace seemed to sense its master's mood, its entire body flashing with black light as it responded with a faint dragon's roar.

"As expected of a supreme treasure, it's practically become sentient."

Black Dragon nodded, feeling very pleased.

After obtaining the Heavenly Soul Water, he further repaired the Black Dragon Mace. Although it had not yet reached the level of a supreme treasure, it was now at least a top-tier treasure.

"By the way, there's something I need to report to you."

Suddenly remembering something, Venerable Mad Lightning laughed and said, "That kid from the Ye family is currently in the extraterritorial battlefield, specifically in the most chaotic seventh battlefield."

"Ye family?"

"Among the immortals in my Hongmeng Daoist Temple in this era, there seem to be no members of the Ye family."

"There was a decent genius at the realm lord level, but I heard that he died on the battlefield outside the realm some time ago."

Black Dragon pondered for a moment, seemingly somewhat uncertain.

As a top-tier cosmic overlord, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to the affairs between realm lords and immortals.

"It was because of this incident that the Ye family sent a King-level Immortal to seek revenge."

The Mad Lightning Venerable shook his head and said.

The Azure Blood King was a powerful figure ranked 172nd on the Earth Ranking, but he was completely beneath the Black Dragon's notice.

"No matter what, they are from the Ye family, so we need to pay close attention to them."

Black Dragon said with a serious expression.

The Ye family is indeed a very special existence within the Hongmeng Dojo.

This is something that is unavoidable no matter what.

"clear."

The Mad Lightning Venerable nodded and laughed, "I haven't done anything else these past few days but have been keeping an eye on this Azure Blood King!"

Whoosh!
Just as the Black Dragon and the Mad Lightning Venerable were talking, a silver-white streak of light landed outside the Purple Thunder Palace.

"teacher."

A clear voice sounded.

"come in."

Upon hearing this figure, a smile involuntarily appeared on the black dragon's lips.

The person who arrived was none other than his most prized disciple, King Qianyu.

"The disciple has met the teacher."

"I have met Venerable Mad Lightning."

A young man with a slender face, about 1.9 meters tall, and a face similar to that of an Earthling slowly walked into the main hall.

He wore a dark green armor that resembled an ancient tree, with nine silver short spears, each over a meter long, strapped to his back, and an ancient-looking battle sword at his waist.

"Upon seeing the promulgation of the Hongmeng Decree, I left the Five Elements Holy Land and came to pay my respects to my master as soon as I arrived at the battlefield outside the realm."

"King Qianyu said with his head down."

"Ah."

"The emergence of the Hongmeng Order this time is an opportunity for you."

Black Dragon stood with his hands behind his back and said with a serious expression.

He was actually quite satisfied with his disciple.

After all, among the immortals of this era, Qianyu Wang could rank seventh.

Being ranked seventh on the Earthly Ranking indicates that one possesses the strength to kill a Universe Venerable.

Even when Black Dragon was still in the Immortal stage, he wasn't as strong as Thousand Universe King.

"There are quite a few treasures in this Hongmeng Token. Have you decided which one you want?"

"Black Dragon asked calmly."

“Teacher, I think one of the top-tier treasure sets, ‘Nine Stars Piercing the Sky,’ is more suitable for me.”

King Qianyu quickly said.

The Nine Stars Piercing the Sky set is composed of nine short spears, and its value is no less than that of an ordinary treasure.

King Qianyu was skilled in a unique move, an ultimate secret technique at the immortal level. In a very short time, he burned his divine power to throw a short spear, which could instantly pierce through the starry sky. Its power was extremely terrifying.

If this ultimate move is executed with a top-tier set of precious artifacts, its power will be even more formidable.

Upon hearing this, Heilong frowned slightly.

"Teacher, isn't choosing Nine Stars Piercing the Sky a bit inappropriate?"

King Qianyu asked hurriedly.

"Nine Stars Piercing the Heavens is a top-tier treasure set, comparable to a supreme treasure, and is naturally excellent in itself."

Black Dragon paused, then spoke in a calm tone.

With Qianyu Wang's strength, it's practically certain that he can acquire the Nine Stars Piercing the Heavens treasure.

After all, he was competing with other super kings and some cosmic venerables at the same time, and the chances of Qianyu King obtaining the truly top-ranked treasures in the Hongmeng Token were undoubtedly very small.

"Treasures are precious, but they are ultimately external things."

Black Dragon's gaze sharpened, and he said calmly, "Disciple, do you know that although you are ranked seventh on the Earthly Ranking, in your teacher's eyes, you can only be ranked in the top thirty at most?"

"what?"

King Qianyu was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

The difference between seventh place on the Earth Ranking and the top thirty is not small.

The top ten is a watershed moment.

The difference between eleventh place and tenth place is like the difference between heaven and earth.

For a moment, King Qianyu felt some doubt and even anger.

However, the person who said this was his teacher, a top-tier cosmic overlord. No matter how displeased Qianyu Wang was, he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

"Indeed, the top ten on the Earth Ranking are all unparalleled geniuses."

"However, their ability to kill a Universe Venerable is largely due to external means."

"In the teacher's opinion, the differences between the top 30 on the local list are actually not that big."

Black Dragon said with a chuckle.

"Isn't it normal to rely on external things?"

"King Qianyu asked in confusion."

For a super-strong individual, the majority of their strength likely comes from "external objects." Without these external objects, their strength would undoubtedly decrease dramatically. (End of Chapter)
