Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 202 Double breakthrough
In the world of Swallowed Star, within Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom.

Lu Qingshan, who had already returned from the Flying Sword Asks the Way world, naturally had no idea that his departure had greatly shocked those Heavenly Dao Realm experts in the Flying Sword Asks the Way world. However, even if he did know, he wouldn't care too much.

After all, he was just a passerby in the world of Flying Sword Asks the Way.

His true foundation lies in this world of Devouring Stars, where he can continuously cultivate and grow stronger.

"This crossover experience has been very rewarding!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Not only did I fight against the powerful figures in the Flying Sword Inquiry World, but more importantly, I also gained 120,000 points!"

"Although this interdimensional teleportation cost me over 10,000 points, I still have over 100,000 points left after deducting the cost!"

"These points are enough for me to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function again!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at the chat group.

Meng Huan had already turned off the live stream, but the people in the chat group were still marveling at Lu Qingshan's previous killing of the Star Destroyer Venerable.

And just then...

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has received 120000 points from Meng Huan!]

Flying swords ask questions of the world.

At this time, the Buddhist Arhats and Heavenly Generals had already dispersed. Although many powerful figures knew that there might be some secrets within the Great Chang World, both Qin Yun and Patriarch Zhang now possessed strength comparable to that of a Golden Immortal.

In addition, the protective array within the Great Chang World is so powerful that even the combined efforts of the 108 Heavenly Generals, apart from the fallen Star Destroyer, cannot break it, let alone anyone else.

Even the old patriarch Boga had given up on the idea of ​​obtaining the Star Stone.

After all, now that the Great Venerable of Annihilation Star has been killed, as long as the people of the Great Chang World don't come out, he simply can't do anything to them.

But after everyone had left, Meng Huan's troubles were just beginning.

After all, he had previously communicated with Qin Yun telepathically, so Qin Yun naturally understood that Lu Qingshan was someone he had invited.

Although the crisis has been resolved, Qin Yun still needs to gather some information.

Fortunately, Meng Huan and Qin Yun had a very good relationship and a good understanding, so Meng Huan only needed to explain a little, and Qin Yun didn't ask any more questions.

After seeing Lu Qingshan collect the points he had promised, Meng Huan quickly took action as well.

[System notification: Meng Huan has uploaded the specified red envelope, containing a skeletal arm!]

[Meng Huan: Group admin, these are the spoils you left behind!]

[Meng Huan: However, these spoils of war are quite valuable, especially the Taiyin Disc and the Moyun Locking Chain. Sending just one of them would require paying a large number of extra points, so I simply cannot send them to you all at once!]

[Meng Huan: I'm out of points right now, so I can only send you one arm of the Star Destroyer Grand Venerable for now. The next arm will be sent to you in a month!]

Meng Huan had also traveled to the world of Sword Dao Supremacy back then. Even bringing some dragon vein energy back to his original world required a large number of points.

Therefore, he knew very well that the reason why Lu Qingshan left him all the spoils of war left behind by the Great Venerable of Extinction Star after his death was entirely because it would cost a lot of points to bring them back to the original world.

Although Lu Qingshan said he would leave the spoils of war to him, he couldn't keep them with a clear conscience!
That's why he wanted to send all these treasures to Lu Qingshan through red envelopes.

Unfortunately, even Buddhist Arhats and celestial generals desperately wanted to obtain one of the treasures left behind by the Great Venerable Star Destroyer after his death, making them extremely precious.

Even if he wanted to send one of the treasures to Lu Qingshan through a red envelope, he would need to pay a lot of extra points.

However, he has already given most of his points to Lu Qingshan, so for the time being he can only give Lu Qingshan the arm left behind by the Great Venerable of Extinction after his death, and he can only give one at a time.

[Lu Qingshan: @Meng Huan, you're too kind! The points you transferred to me before have already helped me a lot, as for these treasures, forget about them!]

[Meng Huan: Group admin, I know these treasures might not mean much to you, but they are still your spoils of war, so I definitely can't accept them!]

[Meng Huan: Besides, with my current strength, even if I were given these treasures, I wouldn't dare use them!]

[Lu Qingshan: Okay then, just send me the two arms of the Star Destroyer Grand Venerable. Don't send me the Taiyin Disc and the Cloud-Locking Heaven Chain!]

[Lu Qingshan: It's still quite troublesome for everyone to acquire points, and points are needed to improve strength. Wasting points on this is undoubtedly unwise!]

"This……"

After reading Lu Qingshan's words, Meng Huan couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.

If the Taiyin Disc and the Moyun Locking Chain were both given to Lu Qingshan, even if they were given separately, the required points would be enough for him to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function twice.

"However, this was originally the group leader's spoils of war, so I certainly can't keep it for myself!"

Meng Huan thought to himself, "That's it! I can exchange the Taiyin Disc and the Moyun Locking Chain for Star Stones, and then distribute them to the group owner in batches!"

Thinking of this, Meng Huan immediately had an idea.

[Meng Huan: Thank you for the reminder, group admin. I will definitely handle this matter well!]

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has received Meng Huan's red envelope!]

With a thought, Lu Qingshan quickly produced one of the Star Destroyer's arms in his hand.

When he exchanged the Heavenly Creation Dew from Han Li, he already understood that the treasures from other worlds received through the chat group would not attract the attention of the original universe's will like the rare items in the original work, but would directly and perfectly merge into the Swallowed Star world.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan was not worried that the appearance of the Star Destroyer's arm in his divine realm would attract the attention of the primordial will. Instead, he began to think about the function of this arm.

"The material of this arm looks much stronger than G-grade metal!"

Looking at the red arm in his hand, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Judging from the material alone, it should be equivalent to a treasure-level material. It can most likely be used to forge a treasure!"

"Although it's not of much use to me, I can contribute it to my clan or trade it with those powerful individuals who are skilled in crafting magical artifacts!"

After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan stopped paying attention to the arm of the Star Destroyer Venerable.

Next, Lu Qingshan chatted with the group of friends for a while and exchanged some more points with them, bringing his total points to over 160,000.

After exchanging points with his group members, Lu Qingshan only spared a little energy for chatting in the group and focused his main energy on cultivation in real life.

……

In his mansion within Chaos City, Lu Qingshan was alone in his cultivation chamber.

"Having gained so many points this time, I can activate the Enlightenment Blessing function twice more!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "However, judging from my experience of using the Enlightenment Enhancement function to comprehend the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele last time, the effect of the Chaos Stele on me is getting weaker and weaker!"

"But this is quite normal. If the Chaos Stele could really have a very good effect on the King-level Immortals, then the King-level Immortals wouldn't be stuck on the same realm card for endless years!"

"Moreover, I'm already very close to understanding how to stop time. What I lack now is accumulation, not sudden enlightenment!"

"In that case, when using the Enlightenment Enhancement function next time, I'll limit the duration of the effect to within a thousand years. This way, I can both improve my accumulation of understanding of the laws and take the opportunity to research my own secret techniques!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly began preparing many treasures to aid his cultivation.

With his current wealth, he can buy most of the treasures in the human realm that can help him comprehend the fundamental laws of time.

However, these external aids are merely supplementary; to truly enhance one's understanding of the laws, the most important thing is to rely on one's own efforts.

After preparing numerous treasures to aid his cultivation, Lu Qingshan quickly adjusted his state and then spent 80,000 points to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function.

He set the duration of this enlightenment blessing function to be one thousand years, and during this thousand years, Lu Qingshan dared not waste a single moment.

Even his second clone, who had been active on the battlefield outside the domain, had become much more low-key, spending most of his time in seclusion cultivating. He would only seek out some powerful alien races to spar when he made a breakthrough in his self-created secret techniques.

In this way, Lu Qingshan quickly became completely immersed in cultivation and was completely unaware of the passage of time.

One day, two days, three days...

One year, two years, ten years...

A thousand years later, Lu Qingshan's understanding of the fundamental laws of time had become increasingly profound, and he even defeated his nine hundredth opponent with the second sword technique, "Mysterious Thunder Heavenly Blade"!
Such a terrifying rate of progress even surprised his grandmaster, Venerable Yaoguang, who had been guiding him.

However, after exchanging ideas with Lu Qingshan, Venerable Yaoguang attributed his astonishing speed to his will, which was comparable to that of a Universe Venerable, and the foundation he had built upon creating the first peak-level sword technique!

Of course, although this speed of progress was already quite astonishing in the eyes of Venerable Yaoguang, Lu Qingshan was not entirely satisfied.

So after the effect of the first Enlightenment blessing ended, he quickly activated the second Enlightenment blessing!
And so time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, more than eight hundred years had gone by.

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

In a training ground within the temple where Venerable Radiant Light resides.

The training ground had now been simulated as a vast starry sky. "Buzz..."

As space fluctuated, a blurry shadow quickly appeared in the vast starry sky. With a gust of lightning storm sweeping by, the blurry shadow gradually took shape.

This was a figure hundreds of kilometers tall, with a pair of silver curved horns, a pair of purple eyes, and its entire body was covered in a layer of gray scales. It also had a tail like a scorpion on its back.

He simply stood there, yet he exuded a domineering and bloodthirsty aura of terror. This was the Purple Cocoon Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts.

The giant beasts of the starry sky have various appearances, and this purple cocoon beast is one of them that resembles a human, but in essence it is very different from humans.

It is inherently ferocious and is known throughout the universe for its bloodlust and savagery.

Of course, most of the giant cosmic beasts are extremely bloodthirsty!
"Woo!"

The giant purple cocoon beast's purple eyes contained a chilling, overwhelming killing intent. It then looked down at the tiny human figure in front of it, which was none other than Lu Qingshan, who was fully armed.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan also looked at the giant purple cocoon beast coiled in front of him.

The number of Starry Sky Beasts is already extremely small. Some Starry Sky Beasts at the Realm Lord level may not even encounter another Starry Sky Beast even if they cultivate until their lifespan is exhausted.

Even so, only after breaking through to the Immortal God realm can they be guided by the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, one of the eight peak forces in the Primordial Universe, and become a member of it.

This giant purple cocoon beast is one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts. Combined with its powerful innate secret techniques, its strength even surpasses that of some special life forms of the same level.

At the same time, this giant purple cocoon beast was also the thousandth opponent that Lu Qingshan encountered when he was creating the second peak secret technique!

Even with the help of Lu Qingshan's enlightenment ability, he still managed to stop his powerful opponent who had been with him for decades!
"let's start!"

Lu Qingshan stood in the void, looking at the giant purple cocoon beast in the distance, and then the purple longsword in his hand was instantly drawn!

"Roar!"

Upon seeing this, the giant purple cocoon beast roared madly and charged toward Lu Qingshan's location.

Its scorpion-like tail instantly tore through layers of space and stabbed directly at Lu Qingshan's head.

Wow!

With a mere flick of his purple longsword, Lu Qingshan severed the tail of the giant purple cocoon beast.

However, Lu Qingshan's face showed no sign of relief, because although this attack seemed to have endless power, it was actually just the simplest attack method in the hands of the Purple Cocoon Beast.

If you can't even block an attack from a scorpion's tail, then there's nothing more to say.

But if we manage to block this attack, we will be met with an even more ferocious attack from the Purple Cocoon Beast!
really……

Suddenly, sharp claws radiating endless eerie light appeared on the giant purple cocoon beast's hands, and then it directly grabbed towards Lu Qingshan's direction.

With just this one claw, the originally extremely stable space around him instantly shattered inch by inch. In an instant, spatial turbulence surged, and countless spatial fragments flew in all directions. Lu Qingshan felt an irresistible and terrifying aura spreading towards him.

"bring it on!"

Lu Qingshan was already used to the ferocious and violent attacks of the Purple Cocoon Beast.

Although he was defeated when he first encountered the giant purple cocoon beast, as time went by, his swordsmanship improved continuously, and he was now able to fight on equal terms with it.

Lu Qingshan's mind was focused on how to kill his opponent using the second sword technique, "Mysterious Thunder Heavenly Blade"!

With a sudden swing of his purple longsword, he unleashed countless dazzling sword beams.

Endless lightning roared around the sword light, and the surrounding space shattered completely. Then, the sword light, carrying boundless and overwhelming power, completely engulfed the enormous purple cocoon beast!

Rumble!
The moment the sword light collided with the claws in the Purple Cocoon Beast's hand, the gray scales on the Purple Cocoon Beast's body instantly turned purplish-black, and even the silver curved horns on its head were tinged with purplish-black.

A series of purplish-black rays of light emanated from the giant purple cocoon beast, continuously annihilating the sword beams that were surrounded by endless lightning.

Unfortunately, the terrifying sword beams unleashed by Lu Qingshan seemed to be inexhaustible. While being annihilated by the purple cocoon beast, they continuously generated more dazzling sword beams, as if they were endless.

When the endless sword light completely engulfed the purple cocoon beast, it finally could not withstand it any longer!
puff!
The colossal body of the Purple Cocoon Beast only lasted for a short while before it vanished into ashes like a bubble punctured by a steel needle!

"Hahaha... We finally succeeded!"

In the endless starry sky, Lu Qingshan finally revealed a long-lost smile: "After fighting this giant purple cocoon beast for decades, I have finally killed it!"

In reality, if it were a real battle, this giant purple cocoon beast might not be able to withstand his soul attack, which was enough to easily kill a peak-level King.

Even if you manage to withstand it, your strength will be greatly affected, and you will naturally find it difficult to unleash your full power when fighting him again.

However, this giant purple cocoon beast was an opponent carefully arranged by Venerable Radiant Light for him to create the second form of his sword technique. He could only rely on the power of the sword technique to defeat it, which is why it took so long.

However, it was well worth it. After defeating the Purple Cocoon Beast, his thousandth opponent, it also marked that his second sword technique, 'Mysterious Thunder Heavenly Blade,' had officially entered its peak level!

And just then...

hum!
With a slight ripple in the space, a figure radiating an extremely powerful aura instantly appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

Upon seeing the visitor, Lu Qingshan immediately greeted him respectfully, "Grandmaster!"

"Qingshan, I never imagined that you could elevate this second sword technique to its peak level in just over a thousand years!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, Venerable Yaoguang said with a smile, "Your teacher once told me that you have a great talent for researching self-created secret techniques!"

"I didn't quite believe this claim because I noticed that you weren't very fast at creating your own secret techniques before. But now it seems that you were accumulating knowledge and experience before finally unleashing it. This shows that you are indeed quite talented in creating your own secret techniques!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan felt somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, it was normal for him to spend millions of years creating the first peak secret technique. The reason he was able to create the second secret technique so quickly was partly due to his will reaching the Venerable level, but more so because he used the Enlightenment Enhancement function twice in a row!
Otherwise, it would have taken him an unknown amount of time to create this second peak secret technique!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "The reason I have made such progress is mainly because of your help, Grandmaster!"

Lu Qingshan was speaking from the heart!
If it weren't for Venerable Yaoguang consistently providing him with the most suitable opponents, even with the help of the Enlightenment Enhancement ability, he would never have been able to create a second-level peak sword technique in such a short time.

"Actually, it's mainly because you're talented enough!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said, "I have so many King-level Immortals under my command, and I will give serious guidance to each of them. However, most of them stop at the level of top-level secret techniques, and very few can truly create peak secret techniques!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied modestly, "Grandmaster, you flatter me. Compared to my fellow uncles, my current strength is still far behind!"

"Alright, don't say such polite things in front of me!"

Venerable Radiant Light immediately waved his hand and said, "Your current strength is enough to rank you in the top 100 among the many King-level Immortals of my human race!"

"Once your understanding of the laws breaks through to the level of the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and you create the third peak secret technique, your strength will be among the top in our human race, even among those who have been crowned kings and are invincible!"

"So your most important task now is to figure out how to stop time as soon as possible!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Although time-stopping is extremely difficult to comprehend, after using the Enlightenment Enhancement function twice, he is already very close to mastering true time-stopping.

Especially after creating the second peak secret technique, Lu Qingshan could feel that he was only one step away from understanding the time stop.

And so, Lu Qingshan continued his serious cultivation.

Three years later……

The second battlefield outside the region, on a remote island in the Wuwang Sea area.

hum!
An incomparably powerful aura of the laws of time instantly enveloped the remote island. Purple, cyan, and white secret patterns instantly covered the island, making it radiate light.

As a powerful aura of the fundamental laws of time descended, this remote island, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, became incredibly dazzling.

At this moment, in the central area of ​​this remote island, a figure dressed in purple-gold armor was sitting cross-legged in meditation. It was Lu Qingshan, who was in a state of cultivation.

Boom! !

The surrounding space trembled continuously, and then a drop of three-colored water appeared out of thin air above Lu Qingshan's head and fell down.

Tick ​​tock!

The three-colored droplet landed directly on Lu Qingshan's head, then completely ignored his physical body, penetrating into it and perfectly merging with every bit of divine power within him.

Chi Chi!

The three-colored water droplets merged with every bit of divine power within Lu Qingshan's body, quickly creating a three-colored mark between his eyebrows. This mark subtly contained the heart-palpitating fluctuations of the fundamental laws of time, a sign that had been acknowledged by the fundamental laws of time.

At this point, Lu Qingshan finally comprehended the concept of time stopping, thus elevating his understanding of the laws to the twentieth level of the Bridge to Heaven!
