Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 226 Divine Might
Within the territory of the Yanfeng Universe Kingdom.

In a secluded interdimensional space within the starry sky, within Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom.

Above the vast, boundless divine sea avatar, an incomparably enormous three-colored vortex had now appeared.

This tri-colored vortex stretched for millions of kilometers, and the aura of the three primordial laws—wind, lightning, and light—had now perfectly combined together!
At the core of this massive vortex lies nothingness, yet it continuously emanates the aura of the fundamental laws of time.

When a powerful individual breaks through to become a Universe Venerable, if they do not have an avatar, the Origin of the Universe will naturally descend directly upon them, allowing them to quickly absorb the Origin of the Universe's energy and transform it into their own divine power!
If a powerful being possesses clones, the origin of the universe will directly descend upon the clone with the largest volume and most energy, which will further enhance the efficiency of the opponent in devouring divine power.

Especially now that Lu Qingshan's main body is still in the Chaos City in the initial universe, and his second clone and the Endless Divine Sea clone are both within the Divine Kingdom, the origin of the universe will naturally descend upon his incomparably vast Endless Divine Sea clone.

This is 'selective arrival,' a gift from the primordial will of the universe to life living in the original universe.

Wow!
Countless streams of divine time-powered seawater, visible to the naked eye, surged from the other end of the massive vortex and flowed into the endless divine sea below.

"The fundamental law of time has descended; what a magnificent scene!"

Lu Qingshan looked up at the tri-colored vortex that stretched for millions of kilometers in the sky, and he was deeply shocked.

While it is extremely difficult for a single cosmic being to emerge from the human race, the probability of such an emergence is much greater when considering the billions of races in the vast universe.

Especially on the battlefields beyond the realms where powerful individuals gather!
The reason why the four major races created the extraterritorial battlefield is not only to fight each other, but more importantly, to hone the strength of their own races!

Meanwhile, other forces in the vast universe also send their strongest members to join one side and train on the extraterritorial battlefield. This includes even the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan, which do not have much territorial conflict with the four top clans. Their purpose is naturally the same: to hone the strength of their clans.

This is why, almost every so often, a King-level Immortal breaks through to the Universe Venerable realm on the extraterrestrial battlefield, which further motivates countless powerful individuals to go to the extraterrestrial battlefield to hone their skills.

After all, for immortal gods with eternal lifespans, there aren't many things that matter to them anymore, and breaking through to a higher realm is one of them!

Otherwise, so many powerful individuals wouldn't have risked their lives to go to the extraterritorial battlefield even though they knew it was extremely dangerous and they could perish at any moment.

When these powerful individuals broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, many of them were under the watchful eyes of countless other powerful individuals, so naturally there is a wealth of information recording the scenes of Cosmic Venerable breakthroughs.

When each Immortal King breaks through to the Universe Venerable realm, they generally still possess the superior fundamental laws, and either a three-colored vortex (the fundamental law of time) or a five-colored vortex (the fundamental law of space) descends.

Under normal circumstances, these vortexes are relatively small, usually only a few hundred kilometers in size, even for those powerful beings with a body size of more than ten kilometers who break through.

Only when some exceptionally powerful special life forms, or life forms with a size of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers, break through to the Venerable Realm will the vortex range expand significantly!

Now, when Lu Qingshan broke through, the diameter of the three-colored vortex had reached millions of kilometers, which was even larger than the scene when some powerful special life forms broke through.

The root cause of this special situation is naturally Lu Qingshan's endless divine sea clone.

When Lu Qingshan broke through to the peak of the King-Sealing Realm and his divine power was reorganized, his Endless Divine Sea clone, which originally had a diameter of over a thousand kilometers, shrank again to a diameter of over eight hundred kilometers.

However, when Lu Qingshan first began his secluded cultivation, he also attached great importance to the expansion of his Endless Divine Sea clone.

After all, at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, burning divine power to fight is commonplace, and there are countless Cosmic Venerables with enormous physiques.

If Lu Qingshan wants to continue to expend divine power as recklessly as he did when he was an immortal god at the Universe Venerable stage, he must expand the system of his Endless Divine Sea clones as much as possible before breaking through!

Originally, Lu Qingshan wanted to exchange for or rent a primordial treasure to expand his endless divine sea clone.

However, the treasures of the origin are too precious. Even the most ordinary ones have entered the level of supreme treasures. With the wealth in Lu Qingshan's hands, it is naturally impossible to buy them.

As for renting, it's not very realistic either. First, the cost of renting a treasure of the origin is quite high, and with the wealth in Lu Qingshan's hands, it would be difficult to rent it for a long time.

Secondly, the original star had only been closed for a short time, and the human race's most precious treasures were in high-speed circulation. Even if it were to be used, it would be very difficult for someone like him, a King-level Immortal, to use them!
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan was still at the Immortal God realm before, and the soul of his Endless Divine Sea clone was not damaged. Using some not particularly precious treasures was enough to accelerate the expansion of the Endless Divine Sea clone.

In this way, after tens of millions of years of expansion, Lu Qingshan has spent hundreds of trillions of Hunyuan units of wealth to expand the diameter of his Endless Divine Sea clone to more than 50 million kilometers!

It was precisely because of this that when Lu Qingshan broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, the diameter of the three-colored vortex above his Endless Divine Sea clone reached millions of kilometers.

Of course, this is certainly not comparable to the multicolored vortex with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers that Luo Feng created when he broke through to the Venerable Realm in the original work.

However, Luo Feng's Nether Sea clone at that time had already reached a diameter of more than 20 billion kilometers, and its life gene level had reached a perfect gene level of 10081 times.

That is naturally incomparable to Lu Qingshan's Endless Divine Sea clone, which is only over 50 million kilometers in diameter and has a very ordinary level of life genes.

Of course, for Lu Qingshan, the endless divine sea clone with a diameter of more than 50 million kilometers was already more than enough.

After all, in the vast universe, apart from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and Luo Feng in the original work, who else could possess a massive clone with a diameter of light-years?
In any case, the greatest function of the Endless Divine Sea clone for him is to replenish the consumed divine power. Whether it is 50 million kilometers in diameter or hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter, it is enough to meet his needs!
Wow...

The boundless divine power of the seawater, emanating the aura of the fundamental laws of time, poured directly from the tri-colored vortex with a diameter of millions of kilometers.

Rumble!
Like a waterfall, divine power surged directly into the endless divine sea below, while Lu Qingshan's endless divine sea clone frantically absorbed this divine power to power his own divine power to transform from the immortal stage to the level of the cosmic venerable.

Breaking through from the Immortal King realm to the Universe Venerable realm, the basic power of divine strength alone will reach a hundred times that of before.

For example, an ordinary peak-level King has 100,000 times the power of a Realm Lord, and after breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable, he will have 10 million times the power of a Realm Lord.

In addition, given the astonishing difference in their understanding of the laws, it is virtually impossible for anyone, except for the most extraordinary and exceptional life forms, to defeat a cosmic venerable at the immortal level.

"hurry up!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the three-colored vortex above his head and thought to himself, "I must seize every minute and second to absorb divine power as quickly as possible and try to transform as many divine bodies as possible!"

It's important to understand that the time that the origin of the universe appeared was extremely short!
Whenever a powerful individual breaks through to become an immortal, a cosmic venerable, or enters the level of a cosmic master, the origin of the universe will directly unleash a massive amount of energy for them to absorb, transforming their immortal divine power into venerable-level divine power.

However, among these three stages, only when one breaks through from the Realm Lord to the Immortal can the divine body be completely transformed. In other words, no matter how large the divine body of the person breaking through is, the origin of the universe will provide enough energy for the transformation to succeed.
However, when one breaks through to the stages of Cosmic Venerable or even Cosmic Lord, the time when the Origin of the Universe descends is very short. How much energy one can absorb depends entirely on one's own abilities.

If the divine body is relatively small, the powerful being can naturally convert most or even all of the divine body. However, if the divine body is too large, even if the being desperately absorbs, only a very small portion of the divine body can be converted.

call!call!call!
Below, towering waves surged within the endless divine sea, relentlessly absorbing the divine power and seawater, causing an astonishing transformation within itself.

A moment later, everything vanished, and Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom finally returned to peace.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's endless divine sea clone had already calmed down, but its internal divine power was still constantly being converted.

Above him, Lu Qingshan's second avatar had already completed its divine power conversion the instant the cosmic origin descended, its divine body strength soaring a hundredfold. "The size of the Endless Divine Sea avatar is simply enormous!"

Feeling the situation within his boundless divine sea clone, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "Even though I've tried my best to absorb cosmic energy and even prepared some auxiliary treasures in advance, I've only managed to transform a little over 20% of my divine body!"

Now, Lu Qingshan finally realized the disadvantages of having such a large divine body.

For example, when the powerful members of the Starry Sky Beast lineage enter the level of the Cosmic Venerable, their divine power conversion is estimated to be no more than 50%. As for the remaining 50%, it is unknown how many years it would take to reach a perfect state!
"Luckily, I have other clones!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "With the boundless divine sea clone as a huge energy source, my main body and second clone can always maintain their strongest state and are not afraid of the consumption of divine power!"

"I was already one of the best among the invincible kings before I broke through!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Judging from the fact that invincible kings have the strength of a mid-level Venerable upon breaking through, my current strength should be a bit stronger than an average mid-level Venerable. If I add the effect of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar, I won't be afraid at all even when fighting against high-level Venerables!"

Although he had never fought against a true Universe Venerable, Lu Qingshan was quite familiar with many Universe Venerables and naturally had a great understanding of the strength of the Universe Venerable level.

After ordinary peak-level or limit-level King-level experts break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, they naturally become low-level Cosmic Venerables, with their strength being the lowest among all Cosmic Venerables.
While the invincible kings who break through to the realm of the Universe Venerable are weaker in their understanding of the laws than the intermediate Universe Venerables, they have already acquired the Amplification Secret Technique, the level of life genes, the combat secret techniques, and even the protective treasures. Their strength is naturally comparable to that of the intermediate Universe Venerables.

As for higher-level cosmic venerables and even stronger cosmic overlords, they need to be more perfect in many aspects such as their understanding of laws, level of life genes, combat techniques, and protective treasures!

Of course, even if one's understanding of the laws is weaker, having greater advantages in other areas such as the level of life genes can still allow one to possess a higher level of strength!

After experiencing the immense power contained within his body, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze to his own divine kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is the foundation of the immortal gods!

As the immortal gods' strength continues to increase, their divine kingdoms will also continuously expand and transform. When they reach the level of the strongest beings in the universe, their divine kingdoms will be able to directly transform into a small universe and separate from the original universe.

The initial universe of the human race was a miniature universe of the 'Primordial Ancestor,' the strongest being in the universe who led the human race to rise!

When Lu Qingshan first broke through to the level of the Immortal King, the diameter of the Divine Kingdom was only 100,000 kilometers. Although it was not at the bottom among the immortal gods, it was close.

However, as his strength continued to increase and the long years passed, his divine kingdom had already reached a diameter of more than 500 million kilometers before breaking through to the realm of the Universe Venerable.

And now...

After Lu Qingshan entered the realm of the Universe Venerable, his divine kingdom naturally began to transform once again.

Rumble!
Within his divine realm, the world changed color, and the surrounding membranes continued to expand.

Although Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom was expanding in the past, the speed was far slower than it is now.

As the divine kingdom expands, it is also slowly absorbing the divine power of the endless divine sea avatars!
And so, the divine kingdom continued to transform.

The transformation of the divine kingdom lasted for three days before it finally subsided.

"My divine kingdom has become more stable!"

Lu Qingshan sensed the aura of his own divine kingdom: "My control over my divine kingdom has become even stronger!"

If Lu Qingshan's previous divine kingdom was a thatched hut that any universe venerable could destroy, then his current divine kingdom is a safe house built of reinforced concrete. Even if a universe overlord appeared in his divine kingdom, it would probably be difficult to destroy such a solid and stable divine kingdom!

Of course, taking the enemy into the divine realm to fight is also a last-ditch effort, and no strong person would be willing to do so without absolute certainty.

After all, once the divine kingdom is destroyed, it will be very difficult to break through the cultivation level in the future!

……

A moment later, inside a magnificent temple above the Endless Divine Sea clone.

"This power..."

After Lu Qingshan's second clone, whose divine power had been completely transformed, fully erupted, a hint of joy appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "Twenty times the life gene level, eighty-six times the body amplitude, my current basic strength is probably quite good even among high-level Venerables!"

It should be noted that even many cosmic overlords have not reached the hundredfold limit in terms of their life gene level and amplitude secret techniques.

Just like the elder of the Golden Horn Clan, Hirodo's body amplitude was only sixty-four times, and his life gene level should be around sixty times. In terms of basic strength alone, he was only a little over twice that of Lu Qingshan.

In fact, at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, unless it is an extremely extraordinary special life form, the difference in basic power is generally quite small.

After all, a cosmic venerable who has reached the limit of 100 times in terms of physical amplitude and life gene level is only four times stronger than a cosmic venerable who has 50 times the life gene level and 50 times the physical amplitude!

This is precisely why many cosmic overlords are unwilling to waste vast amounts of resources on raising the level of life genes to a hundredfold limit.

After all, increasing the level of life genes from eighty times to the limit of one hundred times requires enough resources to exchange for several ordinary treasures, but consuming so many resources results in a negligible increase in strength!
The biggest difference between cosmic venerables lies in their understanding of laws, combat techniques, protective treasures, and even supreme treasures!

"Although I don't have many treasures on me right now, after breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, I will naturally be able to become the personal disciple of Master Ice Peak!"

Lu Qingshan secretly planned, "With my clone, Master Ice Peak will definitely value me more and will probably bestow one or two precious treasures upon me!"

"Therefore, after this breakthrough, my biggest disadvantage has become my comprehension of laws and combat techniques!"

Like other cosmic venerables, even the weakest of them have created peak-level combat techniques using complete superior primordial laws!
Lu Qingshan's self-created sword technique is equivalent to the peak level of the fourth form!

If one's understanding of the laws continues to advance, one can create the fifth form, the sixth form, and so on...

Just like the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" created by Herodo, an elder of the Golden Horn Clan, it is a combat secret technique created by different levels of the Way of the Beast God.

"My true form is still in the primordial universe, and it's time for me to take some time out to convert my divine power!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "But there's no rush. Before that, I should first demonstrate my strength. That way, I can not only increase my authority among the human race, but also receive the treasure from Master Ice Peak!"

With this thought in mind, Lu Qingshan immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and rushed to the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

　You've probably all heard about the strong winds in Hebei. There's a power outage, and typing on my phone is too slow, so I've only managed one chapter today. My phone only has about 10% battery left, and I don't have a power bank at home…
