Chapter 322
The Undercover Agents Who Became Bosses, and the Super-Evolved Starry Sky Beast
The Lord of Poison Dragons returned to his palace.
"Humph!"
"That old thing, the Dream Demon Ancestor, is still dreaming of reviving the demon race."
The Lord of Poison Dragons, his body as winding as a mountain range, sat coiled in the dimly lit, empty hall, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Breakthrough to become the strongest in the universe?
Just saying.
In fact, the Lord of Poison Dragons' comprehension of the laws has indeed reached the limit of the Lord of the Universe.
But when it comes to who is the strongest in the universe, no one can say for sure.
Even with the foundation of the Chaos City Lord, it took him nearly 100 million years to break through to the True God realm after receiving the inheritance of the ancient civilization.
The Poison Dragon Lord's talent and comprehension are definitely much inferior to those of the Chaos City Lord.
He only improved his strength so rapidly because he was a soul servant under Ye Xingkong, and he had no shortage of all kinds of treasures and secret techniques.
"Ok?"
"It's my master calling me!"
A flicker of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Poison Dragons.
A billion years!
A full billion years!
Since Ye Xingkong went into seclusion, he has never contacted the soul servants lurking in various races.
The Lord of the Poison Dragons had been cultivating silently for a billion years, almost forgetting that he was a powerful figure in the human faction!
hum~
The Lord of Poison Dragons channeled his divine power into the "Primordial Pearl," and a wisp of his consciousness entered the virtual world "Primordial Space."
The Primordial Space is the highest-level place in the Primordial Daoist Temple, and its secrecy is so great that even the major powers in the universe have never heard of it.
In the Hongmeng Dojo, only those who have reached the level of a Universe Master are qualified to enter this virtual world.
"The Poison Dragon pays respects to its master!"
The Lord of Poison Dragons appeared in the vast and boundless Star Palace. Upon seeing an extraordinary white figure standing in the distance, he immediately bowed in excitement.
"Get up."
Ye Xingkong turned around and said in a gentle voice.
The Lord of Poison Dragons nodded and noticed that besides himself, there were other figures in the hall exuding immense power.
The Flame God Clan, Lords of Flamefall;
The Starry Sky Beast Alliance, Lord of the Flame Demons;
Zerg, Lords of the Frostbite North;
The Prison Clan, Lords of the North Wind;
The Mechanical Race Alliance, Lord of Shadow Assassins;
……
Among the seventeen soul servants, nine are cosmic lords, and the remaining seven are all top-tier cosmic overlords.
"Greetings, Master."
Seventeen great beings from among the billions of races in the universe bent their proud spines.
Ye Xingkong gazed at these soul servants, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He invested far more resources and energy in these soul servants than the experts at the Hongmeng Dojo.
The many powerful figures in the Hongmeng Dojo... Although Ye Xingkong had personally trained them, human hearts are unpredictable, and only these soul servants would never betray him.
"Take this secret technique back and practice it."
"It would be best if we could master it, but it doesn't matter if we can't."
Ye Xingkong said calmly.
With a wave of his hand, a golden page appeared before each of these great beings.
"Heaven, Craftsmanship, Secret, Classics".
The Lord of Poison Dragons paused slightly upon reading these words.
The Hongmeng Space, a virtual space, was constructed using the power of the "Hongmeng Mirror," and thus can disregard the rules of the original universe, displaying many secret techniques from the Origin Continent.
Ye Xingkong's seventeen soul servants all cultivate the complete inheritance of the "Seven Towers Realm," and can at least cultivate to become Eternal True Gods.
However, since Ye Xingkong personally passed on the "Heavenly Crafting Manual" to them, it means that the preciousness of this manual far surpasses the inheritance within the Hongmeng Great Dao Tower.
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this teaching."
The seventeen soul servants all spoke with immense joy.
"The secret method has been passed on to you. Whether you can master it or not depends on your own destiny."
Ye Xingkong waved his hand and said indifferently.
The "Heavenly Crafting Manual" is a supreme technique of the God-King, with an extremely high entry difficulty. Even on the Origin Continent, only a very few geniuses are qualified to cultivate it.
The reason this method was passed down was to give these seventeen soul servants a chance.
If any of them are lucky enough to be able to enter the sect, Ye Xingkong will naturally not be stingy with resources to train them.
"During this period of time, if you have any doubts about your cultivation, please speak them out one by one."
Ye Xingkong sat on the throne and spoke calmly.
"As ordered!"
The seventeen soul servants immediately bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with a hint of joy.
The guidance of a peak tenth-tier expert is not something everyone has the opportunity to receive.
Moreover, Ye Xingkong possesses the core inheritance of two god-king level forces, the "Seven Towers Realm" and the "Jin Kingdom". Although he is only a master of the universe, he is definitely a prodigy in the Origin Continent.
“Master, I have some questions about the ‘Wind, Lightning, and Time Fusion Law’.”
A powerful figure, hundreds of meters tall and with a streamlined body made of purple metal and mysterious patterns on his chest, stepped out.
He was draped in a dark red cloak, his eyes gleamed with golden light, and his purple metal left arm held a long, ancient sword.
"Shadow Assassin, unleash your strongest move."
Ye Xingkong said with a smile.
"As ordered."
The Lord of Shadows nodded.
He is a great being of the "Dark Fear Clan" in the universe, a kind of metallic life form.
The Dark Terror Clan is a powerful race in the universe, with two Universe Lords among its members. They were once an important member of the Machine Race Alliance, and are now one of the members of the Three Races Alliance.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The Lord of Shadows took a step forward, wielding his ancient sword in his left hand, and instantly, countless terrifying sword energies appeared out of thin air.
These sword energies are invisible and colorless, extremely fast, and incredibly strange; ordinary experts simply cannot react to them.
"good."
Ye Xingkong nodded with satisfaction.
"This move is so bizarre that it's perfect for assassination."
"However, judging from the style of your secret technique, I suggest you should focus on the fusion of light, wind, and time."
"Once these three laws are merged, and then the law of lightning is incorporated... then one will have truly grasped the fusion law of the time school."
Ye Xingkong said calmly.
"Light, time, wind..."
"Understood."
A thoughtful look flashed across the Shadow Assassin's eyes.
The laws of lightning, wind, and time fusion...
The laws governing the fusion of light, wind, and time...
Both belong to the time-law school of thought, and although they seem to differ by only one law, they are actually two completely different paths.
For the Lord of Shadow Assassins, the latter is clearly more suitable.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
The Lord of Shadow Assassins was extremely relieved.
Choosing a direction to comprehend the laws of integration is equivalent to selecting a future path of cultivation; it is not a trivial matter.
Once decided, it cannot be easily changed.
The Lord of Shadows' understanding of "lightning, wind, and time" is still not deep. With some time, he can also switch to the "light, wind, and time" lineage.
But if one's understanding has already become quite profound, then it will be too late to change it.
"On the first floor of the Primordial Dao Tower, there is a Dharma called 'Shadowless and Formless Technique' that would suit you well." "Go and comprehend it yourself."
Ye Xingkong said.
Then he began to guide the other soul servants in their cultivation one by one.
These seventeen soul servants, having achieved the pinnacle of kingship, must have possessed exceptional talent.
Under Ye Xingkong's tireless cultivation, there are now five fifth-order universe masters, two fourth-order universe masters, and the remaining nine top universe overlords are only a step away from becoming universe masters.
They all benefited greatly from the guidance they received.
"Alright, all of you go down and study diligently, striving to break through to the True God realm as soon as possible."
Finally, Ye Xingkong waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression.
"As ordered."
The seventeen soul servants bowed and left the palace.
Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, raising his gaze to infinity, overlooking the vast primordial space.
Many of the most renowned and powerful beings in the universe are quietly cultivating in this virtual space.
"Over the past billion years, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has had a total of nineteen Universe Lords on the surface. If we include the nine Soul Servant Universe Lords, then there are twenty-eight."
"Forty-one top-tier cosmic overlords, two hundred and nine cosmic overlords, nearly ten thousand cosmic venerables, and approximately seventeen thousand immortal kings..."
Ye Xingkong was very satisfied.
Today, the Hongmeng Dojo has become the undisputed number one power in the universe.
Even the Ancestral God Sect dares not contend with it!
"A billion years have passed, and the three hundred cosmic kingdoms obtained from the demon race have been largely digested."
"The more vast the territory, the more geniuses will be born."
Ye Xingkong's eyes were calm as still water.
His ambitions extend far beyond the three hundred cosmic kingdoms of the demon race.
At the very least, the richest part of the original universe, which was occupied by the three-race alliance, will become the territory of the human race in the future.
The quality of geniuses emerging in each HarmonyOS Grand Competition now far surpasses that of the genius battles of humankind a billion years ago.
On one hand, there is the effect of martial arts among the general public;
On the other hand, territorial expansion is also a very important reason.
"The three races alliance together, not counting vassal groups, has about 1700 universe kingdoms."
"There are 3 strongest beings in the universe, 27 lords of the universe... Hmm, two of them are spies I planted."
Ye Xingkong couldn't help but smile faintly.
Because of the presence of two high-level spies, the Lord of the Poison Dragon and the Lord of the Northern Frost, he had an excellent understanding of the situation within the Three Races Alliance.
"However, if our human race were to attack the three-race alliance again as it did last time, it would likely provoke retaliation from other forces in the universe."
Ye Xingkong shook his head slightly.
The growing strength of the human race has gradually aroused panic among the major powers in the universe.
The Northern Frontier Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, the Snow Frontier Alliance, and other forces do not want to see an unparalleled power appear in the primordial universe.
Today, the human race is capable of annihilating the alliance of three races;
Tomorrow, the human race will be able to wipe out the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, and other forces.
A single alliance of three races is naturally no match for the human race.
However, if all the major powers in the universe were to unite against the human race, even Ye Xingkong would have to think twice.
"This time... we can't rely on force alone; we'll probably need to outsmart them."
Ye Xingkong thought to himself.
However, wasn't all that hard work he put into planting so many spies among the major powers in the universe for this very day?
······
The headquarters of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, Starry Sky Divine Mountain.
Amidst a mountain range spewing flames, a terrifying behemoth submerged in dark red magma slowly opened its eyes.
"Woo~"
"The 'Heavenly Craftsmanship Manual' bestowed upon me by my master is truly profound."
"I can understand each word individually, but when they're put together, they make my head spin."
The Lord of Flames shook his enormous head, thinking with some frustration.
Whoosh!
At that moment, two streaks of light, one gold and one silver, flew into this magma area.
"Greetings, Lord of the Flame Demon."
Two ferocious cosmic beasts landed on the ground and then bowed respectfully.
These two giant beasts...
One is a giant golden-horned beast with six ferocious sharp horns on its forehead and a dark gold body;
The other is the Devastating Beast with four mysterious scales on its forehead and snow-white fur.
"Ha ha!"
“Ten thousand curses and a thousand tribulations are no longer necessary in my presence.”
The Lord of Flame Demons said with a chuckle.
Despite being a supreme ruler of the universe, he showed no airs whatsoever when facing the two cosmic venerables, instead adopting an attitude of treating them as equals.
"Lord of the Flame Demon, if outsiders were to see him, it would likely arouse suspicion."
The Venerable Wanzhou hesitated before speaking.
"hehe!"
“I am the dignified ruler of the universe, and even the progenitor would not casually spy on this place.”
The Lord of Flame Demons said with a smile.
"in this way……"
Venerable Wanzhou and Venerable Qianjie finally relaxed and laughed, "Flame Demon, where is the secret technique that our master ordered you to pass on to us?"
"Take it!"
The Lord of Flames waved his enormous hooves and gently touched the foreheads of Venerable Ten Thousand Curses and Venerable Thousand Tribulations.
hum~
Both star beasts were slightly taken aback, and then a massive amount of information appeared out of thin air in their minds.
"The Secret Manual of Heavenly Craftsmanship..."
"What a profound secret technique!"
A hint of intoxication flashed in the eyes of Venerable Wanzhou and Venerable Qianjie.
"Ten thousand curses, a thousand kalpas, to be honest, even I find this secret technique extremely difficult to comprehend."
"If you two gain any insights, don't forget to teach me."
The Lord of Flame Demons laughed.
"Do not worry."
Venerable Wanzhou laughed and said, "You are our 'backer' in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, how could we treat you unfairly?"
"That's good."
The Lord of Flame Demons nodded and said.
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Curses and the Venerable of a Thousand Tribulations, one a Golden Horned Beast and the other a Destroying Beast, are hailed as the most talented Starry Sky Beasts since the progenitor of Starry Sky Beasts.
The senior members of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance unanimously believe that Venerable Wanzhou and Venerable Qianjie will definitely become the masters of the universe in the future, and there is even a glimmer of hope that they will become the strongest beings in the universe.
This point was even acknowledged by the progenitor of the Starry Sky Beasts.
However, within the entire Starry Sky Beast Alliance, only the Lord of Flame Demons knew that Venerable Ten Thousand Curses and Venerable Thousand Tribulations were actually Ye Xingkong's soul servants.
even……
Strictly speaking, neither the Venerable of Ten Thousand Curses nor the Venerable of a Thousand Tribulations are true cosmic behemoths, but rather new life forms created by Ye Xingkong based on the Golden Horned Beast and the Destroying Sag Beast.
The Venerable of Ten Thousand Curses was born with a life gene level a hundred times higher. Based on the Golden Horned Beast, he had extremely high talent in the six major laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space.
The Thousand Tribulations Venerable was born with a life gene level a hundred times higher. Based on the Destroyer Beast, he possessed extremely high talent in the four laws of lightning, light, wind, and time.
Not only do they possess extremely high talent in the laws, but the comprehension of Venerable Wanzhou and Venerable Qianjie is also extremely high.
These two life forms are special; unless Ye Xingkong creates another one, they will be unique in the entire primordial universe. (End of Chapter)
