Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Hongmeng Space-Time.

Tens of thousands of dazzling stars are scattered like chess pieces in the vast starry sky.

Inside the Hongmeng Dao Palace, an endless sea of ​​fire swept across the area, resembling a fiery inferno.

Multicolored flames scorched the space, and even the slightest leak of them was enough to cause the instant demise of a cosmic lord.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ye Xingkong, dressed in white, gently patted the gourd in his hand.

Call ~
Suddenly, the boundless sea of ​​fire shrank abruptly, transforming into a crystal-clear, nine-colored flame dragon.

The giant dragon circled in the palace for a moment before finally entering the Purple Gold Illusionary Gourd.

"good."

Ye Xingkong nodded, a satisfied look on his face.

He extended his long, slender, fair hand, and a small, azure-blue spherical object floated quietly in his palm.

"It wasn't in vain that I used so many rare and precious materials; I finally succeeded in replicating 'Earth'."

Ye Xingkong took a step forward, and his figure disappeared the next moment.

The Five Elements Universe.

The infinitely tall Tianyuan Mountain is like a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, while the surrounding billion heavens and the earth are like stars.

hum~
The space rippled like water, and Ye Xingkong's human form slowly emerged.

"This is it."

Ye Xingkong lowered his eyelids, waved his hand, and gently tossed the azure blue spherical object in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!
As the blue sphere moved further and further away, its volume rapidly increased until it transformed into a planet with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, finally hovering motionless in the void.

"To guide the creation of a race like the Mountain Dweller, a single planet is not enough; a corresponding array must also be set up."

Ye Xingkong's gaze remained calm.

When the Mountain Dweller created the Earth lineage, he not only transformed the Earth itself, but also modified countless planets within thousands of light-years around it.

Ye Xingkong took out one rare and precious material after another from his world ring and set up an incredibly complex star array using the surrounding void as a base.

This vast quantity of rare and precious natural treasures...

Looking across the entire primordial universe, many have become completely extinct, and some have never even appeared in the universe.

"When the Mountain Guest handed over the Earth's refining method so easily, he probably thought I wouldn't be able to gather enough materials."

A smile appeared on Ye Xingkong's lips.

All things considered, the rare and precious materials consumed in refining the Earth are comparable to those used in refining a supreme treasure.

Resources in the primitive universe were relatively scarce. Even the human race, one of the most powerful races, might not be able to gather enough materials even if they exhausted all their resources.

However, how could the Mountain-Sitting Guest have imagined that Ye Xingkong actually possessed a world!
With the vast resources of the Seven Towers Realm at his back, he can not only replicate Earth, but also make it much more perfect than the Earth created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

After all, when the Mountain Dweller first started refining Earth, many of the rare and precious materials he needed were not available in the original universe.

Make bricks without straw!

Even though the Mountain-Sitting Guest was a God-King level weapon refiner, he couldn't conjure up rare and precious materials out of thin air.

Fortunately, his weapon-refining skills had already reached a superb level, and he could still succeed by using some inferior treasures as substitutes during the refining process.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Ye Xingkong's original divine body recovered to a height of 100,000 kilometers, resembling a god who created the world, with stars moving at his fingertips.

Time passes slowly.

Several years have passed.

When Ye Xingkong placed the last star, the surrounding starry sky suddenly trembled. The azure planet, located at the core of the starry sky several light-years away, began to emit special fluctuations.

"Finally done."

"Let's call this planet Hongmeng Star."

Ye Xingkong breathed a slight sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his lips.

The mental effort required to refine the Primordial Star is even greater than that required to refine a supreme treasure.

"The efficiency of comprehending the laws of the Five Elements Universe is ten thousand times that of the outside world, and in addition, the Hongmeng Star has the natural ability to transform the soul."

"A powerful combination like this, I wonder how strong it will be!"

Ye Xingkong chuckled.

He created this planet primarily for the Ye family to thrive and multiply.

No matter what, they are his descendants, their blood flows in his veins, and Ye Xingkong cannot simply ignore them.

······
Hongmeng Space-Time.

On the plaza outside the Hongmeng Dao Palace, figures exuding a powerful aura descended.

"Brother, you are here."

"Little Qingzi, did Father summon you here too?"

"My dear sister, you've become even more beautiful after all these years!"

“Dear brother, even if you say that, I will not make potions for you for free.”

Ye Xuan, Ye Chen, Ye Qing, and Ye Lan, the four siblings, stood outside the Hongmeng Dao Palace, all with smiles on their faces.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since the four of us got together after breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm."

Ye Qing was dressed in a shimmering blue armor, with a sword box on his back, and every move he made exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

"When we reach our level, we can cultivate and seclude ourselves at will, and billions of years can pass in the blink of an eye."

Ye Xuan gently shook her head, her beautiful face radiating tranquility.

"Yes."

"I have been exploring the secret realms of the universe for some time now. My father said that as long as I can kill a universe lord, he will forge a supreme treasure for me."

Ye Qing said with a sense of helplessness.

A hundred million years have passed. Regardless of their talents, the cultivation resources they enjoy are something even the Lord of the Universe would envy.

Therefore, sooner or later, they all entered the realm of cosmic venerables, each possessing the strength of a top cosmic overlord.

"Alright, brothers and sisters, let's stop reminiscing!"

"Hurry inside, don't keep Father waiting."

Ye Lan stretched, blinked her dark, bright eyes, and said with a grin.

Inside the Hongmeng Dao Palace.

A myriad of primordial purple mists swirled around.

Ye Xingkong was dressed in white, his expression calm.

Standing beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman in purple with a graceful figure; it was Huanling.

"You've called them all here, is there something you want to announce?"

Huanling looked at Ye Xingkong with her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, a strange feeling stirring within her.

Tens of millions of years ago, in order to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, she had already announced that she would go into complete seclusion.

This time, Ye Xingkong actually managed to forcefully summon Huanling out of her seclusion.

"Don't I know you?"

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "If you really try to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe on your own, let alone a hundred million years, even a billion years would be difficult."

"Even if it's a billion years, compared to the other universe masters in the universe, that's already very fast, okay!"

Huanling rolled her eyes at Ye Xingkong, her hands supporting her breasts, clearly unconvinced.

For a powerful being at the level of a universe master, a billion years is indeed not a long time at all.

"I only decided to help you because I saw you were working so hard."

Ye Xingkong said with a smile.

"Oh?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Huanling's purple eyes, and her tone was somewhat disbelieving as she asked, "What kind of treasures in the universe... could actually help someone break through to the level of a universe master?"

"Naturally there is."

Ye Xingkong remained calm and smiled, "Leaving aside distant matters, the Beast God Egg that Chen'er and Yu'er fused with back then was of some benefit to their breakthrough to the Universe Lord level."

"Ling'er, look over there." Ye Xingkong held Huanling's slender hand and pointed into the distance.

Huanling looked up.

Outside the Hongmeng Dao Palace, there grew a lush, ancient green tree.

"The Tree of Enlightenment?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Huanling's eyes.

The origin of this ancient tree is quite mysterious. It was planted by Ye Xingkong a hundred million years ago and has the effect of temporarily enhancing comprehension.

However, the enlightenment tree can only improve one's comprehension to a very limited extent.

There is an effect, but not much.

To break through to the level of a master of the universe, one must rely more on one's own accumulation and understanding.

With sufficient personal accumulation, one can break through to the level of a universe master even without the Enlightenment Tree;
If your own strength is insufficient, it's useless even if you sit under the Enlightenment Tree in seclusion every day.

This is why the Enlightenment Tree grew outside the Hongmeng Dao Palace for 100 million years without attracting much attention.

At most, Ye Xingkong gave away a lot of Enlightenment Tree tea leaves to do favors, which became very popular among human experts.

Even if we assume the Enlightenment Tree's effects are truly miraculous, Ye Xingkong would have already given it to Huanling, Ye Chen, and Ye Xuan.

"Not long ago, this Enlightenment Tree... it bore fruit."

Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Can it still bear fruit?"

Huanling was slightly taken aback, her expression somewhat surprised.

She really didn't know that.

After all, the Enlightenment Tree was brought over by Ye Xingkong from the Seven Towers Realm; it didn't exist in the original universe.

"Although the Enlightenment Tree Leaf can temporarily enhance one's comprehension, its true value lies in the fruit it bears once every hundred million years."

Ye Xingkong revealed the true secret of this ancient tree.

Of course, there's one thing he didn't make clear.

The Enlightenment Tree grows for 100 million years and breaks through to become the Lord of the Universe. After that, it bears white fruit once every 100 million years.
It grows for a billion years, breaks through to the level of a true god, and bears a purple fruit once every billion years.
It grows for billions of years, breaks through to become a true god in the void, and bears a golden fruit once every billions of years.
It grows for hundreds of billions of years, reaching the level of an eternal true god, and bears a purple-gold fruit once every hundreds of billions of years.

"The Enlightenment Fruit...can it help one break through to become a Universe Master?"

Huanling pursed her pink lips, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"It is somewhat helpful."

"It can increase the success rate by about one in a thousand."

Ye Xingkong said.

"thousandth!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Huanling's eyes.

For those who break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, let alone a one in a thousand chance, even a one in a hundred million chance would be enough to trigger a great war between the peak races.

One cycle of the primordial universe is ten trillion epochs.

In other words, in one cycle, the Enlightenment Tree will bear fruit a total of one billion times.

Even a one percent chance is equivalent to a million universe lords.

Be nice!

How many universe lords are there in the entire cosmic ocean?

Is this an attempt to cultivate an army of cosmic rulers?
A look of disbelief flashed across Huanling's beautiful face, and she was completely stunned.

What she didn't know was that the Enlightenment Tree was originally a product of the Origin Continent.

On the Origin Continent... even the Lord of the Universe is less than a dog on the street.

"The Enlightenment Tree has borne two fruits this time."

"I plan to give you one, and give the other one to Teacher Qianwu."

Ye Xingkong said.

After all, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was his teacher when he was weak, and he had given him a lot of help along the way.

This Enlightenment Fruit is perfectly suitable for the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"Ah."

Huanling nodded and said gently, "The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is already a cosmic overlord. After cultivating in the Five Elements Universe for a hundred million years, it's about time he tried to break through to become a cosmic master."

"Ye Chen and the other three... I hope they can break through to the Universe Master level on their own."

"If all else fails, it's not too late to use the Enlightenment Fruit."

Ye Xingkong said lightly.

In reality, whether it's Huanling, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, or the four siblings Ye Chen and Ye Qing, with the inheritance of ancient civilizations, breaking through to the level of universe master is only a matter of time.

The only difference is that using the Enlightenment Fruit might allow for an immediate breakthrough.

It's difficult to explain clearly if one relies solely on self-cultivation.

After all, no one can say for sure when it comes to breaking through bottlenecks...

Some people fight a life-or-death battle, some dream for a thousand years, and some have a moment of clarity and may break through in an instant.
However, some people may be stuck at a bottleneck for billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of years.

"The child has seen his father."

"The child has seen his mother."

At this moment, the four siblings Ye Xuan, Ye Chen, Ye Qing, and Ye Lan entered the palace.

"You are here."

Ye Xingkong looked at the four siblings, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Come with me to the Five Elements Universe first."

With that, he waved his hand, and before Huanling and the others could react, he had already left the Hongmeng Dao Palace.

"Is this...the summit of Tianyuan Mountain?"

Ye Chen looked around at his surroundings, quite surprised.

He hadn't sensed any spatial fluctuations at all, yet he and his companions were taken away from the primordial universe.

"Father's strength... is becoming increasingly unfathomable."

A sense of awe rose in Ye Chen's heart.

Ye Xingkong didn't care at all.

The effects of the Primordial Mirror are indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Moreover, his strength and status are different now, and Huanling and the others are his closest people, so it doesn't matter if he occasionally reveals some of his methods.

"As you all probably know, the Five Elements Universe is actually my miniature universe."

"Within the miniature universe, I can control everything, and I don't need to be too afraid of the original universe consciousness."

Ye Xingkong looked at Huanling and the others and said with a smile.

"Primitive cosmic consciousness?"

Ye Xuan was puzzled. She didn't understand why Ye Xingkong would suddenly mention the primordial universe consciousness.

"The universe has its own laws of operation, and everything must follow these laws."

"If anything violates the laws of the universe, it will be obliterated or blocked by the original cosmic consciousness."

Seeing the puzzled looks on Huanling and the others' faces, Ye Xingkong smiled and explained.

"I have called you all here today to pass on a special tradition."

"This inheritance should not exist in the universe, even in the cosmic sea."

"However, this is my universe, so it can slightly rival the original universe."

Ye Xingkong said calmly.

In reality, the miniature universes of the strongest beings in the general universe are absolutely no match for the consciousness of the primordial universe.

But Ye Xingkong is different!

His miniature universe has a diameter of up to tens of billions of light-years!
Even in the face of such a vast universe, the consciousness of the primordial universe is still extremely small.

However, within his own universe, Ye Xingkong already possessed a certain degree of authority, allowing him to slightly rival the primordial universe. (End of Chapter)
