Chapter 2038: Chapter 2038: Devour Proposal, Cosmic Graveyard
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe was silent for a moment before speaking, "Your small universe is too perfect. To me, it feels like a true middle-grade Great Universe, with no need to break through any bottleneck. Therefore, there’s nothing I can do!"
Ye Feng was taken aback: "Really?"
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe said, "According to usual standards, your universe is not a small universe but a genuine middle-grade Great Universe, naturally not needing to evolve into a lower-grade Great Universe. Because that would be akin to a cultivator’s cultivation level regressing, wouldn’t it?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but frown.
If that’s true, there’s no solution!
The small universe is still a small universe, but all its aspects have already equaled a middle-grade Great Universe, so conventional methods cannot be used to break through.
And the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe seems to only know conventional methods of cosmic evolution.
Thus, the other party is also at a loss.
"So what should I do?" Ye Feng stood there, eyes filled with disappointment.
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe thought for a moment, then said to Ye Feng: "Are you sure your universe is just an ordinary small universe?"
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "I’m sure."
"Then that’s where the problem lies," said the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe, a cosmic consciousness with vast experience, "Your small universe is very special. It’s akin to a cultivator who is at the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, but in all respects, it compares to the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable."
"Yes, it is," Ye Feng nodded, "I am currently at the one-hundredth layer of the Creation Realm, corresponding to the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor among cultivators. But in fact, my solid foundation, thanks to the universe inside me, is comparable to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable."
After pausing, Ye Feng asked, "So, do you have any strategies, senior?"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
After a long time.
"My young friend, you might as well try letting your small universe devour and merge with other broken universes. This might enable your small universe to evolve. Even if it doesn’t succeed, it can elevate to a state very close to evolution, so a slight opportunity can break the barrier."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe suggested this method.
"That’s worth a try, but where should I find those broken universes?" Ye Feng spread his hands.
"I know a place," the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe suddenly laughed, "But there are conditions."
"An exchange of benefits?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes, I can tell you the location of that place, but you’ll have to help me with a task." The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe finally revealed its purpose.
"I need to know, what kind of place is it? Can it really help me?" Ye Feng asked.
"It’s the Cosmic Graveyard, where all broken universes are buried, so you can go there to devour pieces of the universe."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe said outright.
Letting Ye Feng know these details wasn’t a problem, after all, he still didn’t know the exact coordinates.
"Cosmic Graveyard?" Ye Feng silently remembered the name, "Tell me, what do I need to do to get the exact coordinates of the Cosmic Graveyard? Also, I need more than just coordinates; I have to be able to reach it."
"If you can help me, I can naturally give you a pass to the Cosmic Graveyard."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe said.
"Deal!" Ye Feng nodded.
"Young people sure are straightforward," the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe laughed, "You just need to provide me with enough Primordial Source, and I can let you enter the Cosmic Graveyard."
"Primordial Source?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
"My trace of consciousness entered your small universe and discovered that you can even nurture the Primordial Source. It’s a supreme treasure capable of enabling universe evolution. If you can provide me with ten thousand threads, I’ll send you to the Cosmic Graveyard."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe spoke transparently.
"I can do that." Ye Feng nodded his head.
He could constantly nurture the Primordial Source; ten thousand threads weren’t much, as it could be managed within half a month. To trade it for the chance to reach the Cosmic Graveyard was not a loss.
"By the way, since you can create the Primordial Source, why not directly use it to enhance your small universe? It might help in its evolution."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe reminded.
"It’s no use," Ye Feng shook his head, "My universe has always been absorbing the Primordial Source, but it still can’t evolve. I even suspect the reason it can’t evolve is that it’s absorbed too much Primordial Source, making the universe’s foundation too solid."
"That’s very likely," the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe continued the conversation with Ye Feng, exchanging information.
Time flew by, and half a month passed.
Ye Feng worked tirelessly, finally collecting ten thousand threads of the Primordial Source, placing it in front of the Demon Spirit Ancient Tree to be absorbed and refined by the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe.
"Hahaha, this feels great."
After absorbing the Primordial Source, the consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe felt immensely comfortable, as it repaired previous hidden ailments and reached its peak state again. Moreover, its cosmic consciousness origin advanced further.
"I’ve already provided the ten thousand threads of Primordial Source, so you should fulfill your promise now."
Ye Feng said.
"No problem, I will send you to the legendary Cosmic Graveyard. Once you are there, whether or not you gain opportunities depends entirely on your abilities."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe reminded.
He was a bit worried that if Ye Feng didn’t gain fortunes, he might get furious and wreak havoc in the Demon Spirit Universe, leading to chaos.
"Just send me to the Cosmic Graveyard, as for what happens next, I will handle it."
"Alright, then let’s set off!"
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe began to exert power, as the enormous Demon Spirit Ancient Tree continuously shivered, communicating with the origin of the Cosmic Sea, causing a whirlpool to appear atop the massive tree and warp the space-time to form a portal.
"Ye Feng, quickly go!"
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe clearly couldn’t sustain it for long.
Earlier, it discussed with Ye Feng, revealing that the Demon Spirit Ancient Tree could communicate with the Cosmic Sea, possessing talents absent in other high-grade Great Universes, like opening a path to the Cosmic Graveyard.
But, opening such a path was time-consuming and laborious.
Even with his power, he couldn’t sustain it for long.
"Understood, I’m going." Ye Feng didn’t hesitate, leaping into the whirlpool and entering a dark blue passage, gradually moving afar.
Above the Demon Spirit Ancient Tree.
The massive whirlpool gradually shrank, eventually becoming a void fold area.
"Let’s hope this guy makes it back alive."
The consciousness of the Demon Spirit Universe murmured.
The Cosmic Graveyard is no benevolent place; surviving there and obtaining opportunities requires immense strength.
This had already been reminded to Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng indicated that as long as no Heavenly Venerable was stationed in the Cosmic Graveyard, he had nothing to fear.
...
Under an orange-red sky.
Ye Feng emerged from a crack, then heavily crashed to the ground, rubbing his sore back.
"Really exhausting!"
Ye Feng spat, ejecting the dirt and orange-purple grass roots from his mouth, standing up to observe his surroundings.
This was a strange void.
Beneath his feet lay fertile soil, yet only half-meter high plants similar to reed grass grew, in hues of orange-purple, with no tall plants in sight.
Lifting his head, he could see the orange-red sky.
Intermittently, void cracks appeared, spitting out various bizarre items, which would then crash onto the vast land with a clatter.
Here was the entrance to the Cosmic Graveyard.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng walked through the air, following the guidance of the Devil Spirit Universe Consciousness, and quickly crossed the vast grassland that stretched for unknown light years, reaching the front of an ancient city tower.
Passing through here, one can enter the true graveyard.
"Who approaches?"
On the city tower, a warrior nine meters tall, dressed in dark golden armor, shouted. This figure wielded a sharp longsword and had eight eyes.
"I want to enter the Cosmic Graveyard."
"Nonsense! The Cosmic Graveyard is a forbidden area of the Cosmic Sea, not a place you can enter at will."
The Golden Armored Giant jumped down from the thousand-meter-high city tower, his body swelling to several hundred meters tall, swinging the sharp longsword in his hand, striking fiercely at Ye Feng.
The pressure of a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level erupted in full force.
"Very powerful, able to rival Venerable Hong Mei, one of the top-tier Quasi-Heavenly Venerable in the Cosmic Sea."
Ye Feng quickly made a judgment.
However, he was not flustered at all.
To be able to traverse the Cosmic Graveyard, before entering this place, Ye Feng had retrieved the Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array, which was originally placed in the Outer Domain Battlefield. With this sword array, and his own strength, killing a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable is easy.
However, Ye Feng did not use the Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array.
The Devil Spirit Universe Consciousness had warned that the guardian of the Cosmic Graveyard city tower was a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level protector, with an important role to prevent the strange creatures inside the Cosmic Graveyard from getting out, so they must not be made enemies.
Therefore, Ye Feng did not go for the kill.
"Return of Ten Thousand Swords."
Thus, Ye Feng drew the Primordial Sword Embryo from his back. The dazzling sword light burst forth instantly, sweeping across the surrounding void and clashing with the Golden Armored Giant’s sword.
Clang!
Ye Feng stepped back three paces, while the Golden Armored Giant’s figure wavered, retreating one step, his back crashing into the city tower, with a look of shock in all eight eyes.
"Big guy, let me through," Ye Feng said.
The Golden Armored Giant widened his eyes, gradually shrinking his body to ten meters tall, standing ten meters apart from Ye Feng, both continually sizing each other up.
"You’re only a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor?"
Finally, the Golden Armored Giant was shocked to discover that this young man, who could rival him, was actually only at the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, leaving him flabbergasted.
"Yes, just recently broke through," Ye Feng nodded, "I need to enter the Cosmic Graveyard to devour the universe fragments inside, please let me pass."
"You’re courting death!" The Golden Armored Giant’s eyes were full of disdain. "Even though your strength is absurdly formidable, each universe fragment contains a remnant cosmic consciousness. If you dare to devour, be cautious of being swallowed by the violent and murderous cosmic consciousness."
"I’m not afraid," Ye Feng shook his head.
"Why not?"
"Not afraid means not afraid."
The awkward conversation between the two made the atmosphere a bit eerie, and they tacitly stopped talking.
"Kid, you are courting death! But since you seek your own end, don’t blame me."
Finally, the Golden Armored Giant relented.
He stood aside, opening the city gate. Through the open gate, Ye Feng could see a vast and boundless magnificent starry sky filled with countless cosmic fragments, beautiful yet hiding deadly threats.
"Go ahead!" the Golden Armored Giant said.
"Thank you," Ye Feng passed through the city gate, entering the vast starry sky, looked back, and found the city tower standing alone without any scenery around, only the rest of the starry sky as the backdrop.
It looked like the city tower was a tiny asteroid floating in the starry sky, not noticeable at all.
The people here didn’t know that the city tower was the only passage to leave the Cosmic Graveyard.
"He really went in."
Ye Feng mumbled, glancing around, and immediately noticed a short old man standing before him, only one meter tall, his face full of whiskers, smiling at him.
"Young man, you’re an outsider?" the old man asked.
"Yes," Ye Feng nodded, using the Eye of Insight to view the other’s information.
[Name: Longling Cosmic Consciousness]
[Grade: Middle Rank Great Universe Level]
[Status: Fragmented]
[Introduction: After the fragmentation of Longling Universe, most of the remains were buried in the Cosmic Graveyard. Over the years, the fragments attracted and fused, forming the current Longling Cosmic Consciousness with Half-Step Heavenly Venerable strength.]
[Remarks: Greedy, insidious]
Seeing this, Ye Feng stroked his chin.
Having just entered the Cosmic Graveyard, encountering a fragmented consciousness of a Middle Rank Great Universe was truly fortunate.
"Young man, I have a blessed land here, follow me quickly to obtain treasures that can help you break through to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable," the old man smiled.
He looked harmless.
But, Ye Feng knew this person intended to devour him. However, the old man didn’t know Ye Feng was not as weak and easy to deceive as he appeared.
Boom!
With just one punch, Ye Feng blasted the fragmented consciousness of Longling Universe into pieces, transforming into various broken laws and cosmic origins, all devoured and refined by Ye Feng, enhancing his microcosm to a certain extent.
"Try to harm me, then die."
Ye Feng withdrew his fist, looking around, discovering countless splendid nebulas.
These were not true nebulas but individual broken universes, at worst Lower Rank Great Universes, and many were High-grade Great Universes.
"Devouring them all would be best."
Ye Feng grinned, but he knew he couldn’t possibly devour all the fragmented universes, after all, his microcosm had its limits. Even if there were no bottlenecks, he would still be stuck at the peak of a Heavenly Venerable, which is the limit for a High-grade Great Universe.
And in the Cosmic Graveyard, countless fragmented universes were buried, impossible to absorb completely.
If attempted, even a Heavenly Venerable would be overwhelmed.
Swoosh!
Ye Feng charged into the distance, where a group of fog-like creatures appeared. Upon seeing him, they clawed and rushed at him, attempting to devour him.
"Begone!"
Ye Feng slashed with his sword, and the fragmented cosmic consciousness with only God-King level strength crumbled, turning into motley energy, refined by Ye Feng first and then absorbed, enriching the laws of the microcosm.
"The microcosm is indeed stronger, yet there’s no sign of evolution."
Ye Feng was troubled, compelled to continue flying deeper into the Cosmic Graveyard. Wherever he passed, he encountered hundreds of fragmented cosmic consciousnesses, all devoured.
Half a day later.
Ye Feng reached a dazzling starry sky, littered with fragments of many universes, each nurturing its own fragmented consciousness, all strong.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s microcosm, having devoured numerous fragmented cosmic consciousnesses, had grown twice as large as before, its strength doubled.
"Such a sweet aroma!"
Amidst a nebula stretching tens of thousands of miles, a huge face appeared, staring at Ye Feng, able to smell the primordial source aura emanating from him.
That was a bait deliberately released by Ye Feng.
The purpose, naturally, was fishing.
As expected, upon reaching this area, he attracted a fragmented cosmic consciousness of a High-grade Great Universe, possessing Quasi-Heavenly Venerable strength.
"Kill!"
Ye Feng waved his sleeves, and the Sky Annihilation Four Immortals Array behind him shot out simultaneously, slashing in cross patterns.
