Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 243 Slaying a Six-Star Demon and Purchasing Treasures
In hell, there is usually a tribe or bandit gang within a radius of several thousand miles, which is their respective sphere of influence.

Of course, in this hell filled with killing, even those seemingly harmless tribes can turn into bandits at any time when they encounter a suitable target.

Silvermoon City is one of the ten large cities within a radius of one billion miles of Azure Wave Prefecture. Naturally, it is a melting pot of all sorts of forces.

Lu Qingshan's high-profile sale of numerous divine titles within the chaotic Black Sand Castle, displaying the strength of a mid-level god, naturally attracted the attention of many bandit gangs.

So, not long after Lu Qingshan left Silvermoon City, he was targeted by four or five bandit squads.

However, although Lu Qingshan acted quite ostentatiously this time, the value of the spoils he displayed was not very high, with a total value of only a few million inkstones.

Therefore, even the strongest bandit squad was only led by two high-ranking gods.

"It's a pity the fish we caught this time were too small!"

Feeling the many figures following behind him, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "There are only five high-level gods in total. Even if I kill them all, I'm still a long way from my goal!"

"Never mind, it's just a matter of killing them and then going fishing again!"

As various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, he had already traveled quite a distance from Silvermoon City.

At that moment, a bandit squad finally made their move against him.

The first to pursue and kill Lu Qingshan was the strongest bandit squad, which also had two high-level gods. After all, only they were confident that they could force the other bandit squads to retreat after killing Lu Qingshan.

"Stop!"

The two high-ranking gods of this bandit squad, along with their subordinates, quickly blocked Lu Qingshan's path from both the front and the back.

Of course, this was also a result of Lu Qingshan's deliberate actions. Otherwise, with his speed, he only needed to unleash a little burst of speed, and these people wouldn't even be able to see his shadow.

"Considering that you are also a mid-level god and cultivation is not easy, I can give you a chance!"

The high-ranking god standing behind Lu Qingshan spoke arrogantly: "Hand over all the spatial rings you have, and I can let you join us! Of course, we've taken your wealth, and you'll get a share when it's time to distribute it!"

After hearing the bandit leader's words, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

They stole his treasure and now they want to give him a share?
This hell truly lives up to its reputation for being teeming with bandit gangs; over such a long period, even their raids have become quite unique.

However, this is quite common in Hell. Lu Qingshan had encountered this situation several times on his way to Silvermoon City.

Just as Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, the bandit leader impatiently said, "Have you thought it through..."

Faced with the bandit leader's question, Lu Qingshan did not answer. Instead, he directly grabbed a high-level divine sword and rushed towards the other party.

These people were, after all, gods, and among them were powerful high-ranking gods. Lu Qing, on the other hand, only brought with him the power equivalent to a peak ordinary king, so he was naturally unable to kill them with his own pressure.

On the other side, when they saw that Lu Qingshan not only did not surrender, but also dared to fight back against them, the bandits were slightly taken aback.

"court death!"

The bandit leader, realizing what was happening, immediately snorted coldly and then said in a deep voice, "Brothers, since he's so reckless, let's finish him off quickly!"

Whew! Whew! Whew...

Hundreds of bandits instantly transformed into countless phantoms—lightning, flames, and streams of water…

Next, Lu Qingshan moved like a tiger among sheep. His figure flashed through the bandits, and with each swing of his sword, he accurately killed a bandit.

One by one, the bandits died, and one after another, divine sparks appeared before Lu Qingshan.

"Still too weak!"

After sensing the power of the two high-ranking gods, Lu Qingshan was quite impressed.

The strength of these two high-ranking gods was barely equivalent to that of the weakest newly appointed immortal gods, and they had no ability to resist him at all.

In just a short time, Lu Qingshan slaughtered the strongest bandit group.

Seeing this, the other bandit groups nearby quickly realized they had bitten off more than they could chew and fled in panic.

But Lu Qingshan had already transferred them out, so how could he let them leave so easily?
And so, as Lu Qingshan's figure flashed continuously, one bandit after another fell at his hands.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to kill the last high god, the opponent quickly let out an anxious roar.

"I can't kill you?"

Lu Qingshan immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me why. Do you have some powerful background? If I kill you, will I face retaliation?"

"That's right!"

The high-ranking god hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "The six-star demon 'Holmes' is my elder brother. If you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!"

"A six-star demon?"

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Qingshan immediately became interested.

In this hell, a six-star demon is already considered very powerful. Above that, there are only a few seven-star demons and Asuras.

"very good!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly: "The wealth from a six-star demon should be enough for me to do what I want to do!"

On the other side, seeing Lu Qingshan nod, the high god 'Lington' also felt a glimmer of hope.

Although he still has a mid-level god clone, this high-level god clone is now his most powerful clone.

Once this most powerful clone falls, his strength will instantly drop significantly, and he will be able to live in the city under the protection of his elder brother from now on.

"Then you deserve to die even more!"

Lu Qingshan flashed, and the long sword in his hand instantly swept past the body of the high god 'Lingdun'.

……

Inside a very luxurious mansion in Silvermoon City.

At this moment, a figure dressed in a magnificent purple robe was enjoying a meal. This person was none other than Holmes, a famous six-star demon in Silvermoon City!
But at that moment, another figure dressed in a purple robe suddenly ran over; it was the mid-level god avatar of the high god 'Lington'.

"Big brother, please save me!"

As soon as Lington appeared, he quickly cried out, "My avatar, a high-ranking god, is being chased more than fifty miles outside Silvermoon City! Brother, please save me!"

"Hmph, I told you long ago to stop doing that plundering!"

Holmes snorted coldly and quickly dispatched a figure dressed in a crimson robe to rush in the direction indicated by the high god Lington.

Holmes has three clones in total, two of which have the strength of a six-star demon. The one who rushed over was his fastest fire-type high god clone.

As for the other clone, it continued to teach Lington a lesson.

But at that moment, a look of pain appeared on Lington's face.

Then...

"Brother, my avatar as a high-ranking god has been killed!"

After his clone was killed, Lington's expression quickly twisted: "Kill him! Big brother, you must kill him!"

Upon hearing Lington's words, Holmes, who was standing to the side, quickly showed a look of surprise and doubt: "Lington, didn't you tell him that you are my brother?"

"I told you!"

Lington quickly said, "When I realized I was no match for him, I immediately called out your name, brother, but he said, 'Then I deserve to die even more,' and then killed my clone without hesitation!"

"court death!"

Upon hearing Lington's words, Holmes's face quickly turned angry.

Although he and Lington were not blood brothers, they had been adventuring in Hell together for a long time.

Even when he was at the intermediate god stage because he was going to follow the path of fusion of laws, Lington's high god avatar protected him for a long time.

Therefore, after he became powerful, he also gave Lington a lot of resources.

However, Lington really wanted to make a name for himself, so he secretly formed a raiding squad. Thinking of this, Holmes's fire-elemental high-level god avatar quickly headed towards Lu Qingshan's location.

Although he didn't think Lu Qingshan would stay in the same place after killing Lington and the others, he still wanted to go and try.

……

On the other side, after killing all the bandits who had been following him, Lu Qingshan finally had time to take stock of his spoils.

It must be said that the bandits who can operate near the city are far wealthier than the bandits he killed on the road.

The mid-level god-like bandits he encountered on the road were only worth a few hundred thousand ink stones, while the mid-level god-like bandits he killed now were worth at least several hundred thousand ink stones.

Especially those leading high-ranking god bandits, whose net worth reached tens of millions. It's just a pity that the high-ranking god 'Lington' also has other god avatars, so his spatial ring cannot be opened at all. Otherwise, Lu Qingshan's net worth would probably have increased even more.

"If even an ordinary high-level god has this much wealth, then a six-star demon must possess even more!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Once I kill that six-star demon, I should have enough wealth to buy all the treasures I want!"

……

Just as Lu Qingshan was examining the value of these spoils, a fiery red streak of light flew in from afar. It was none other than the fire-type high-level god avatar of the six-star demon 'Holmes'.

"You're the one who killed Lington?"

Holmes looked at Lu Qingshan, his voice filled with boundless killing intent.

"You are the six-star demon 'Holmes'?" Lu Qingshan looked up at the other party.

"Hahaha... It really is you!"

Holmes's voice boomed: "You've got guts! You killed my sworn brother and still dare to stay here and wait for me. Should I thank you or laugh at you?"

"Of course, I still have to thank you for making it so easy for me to find you. I'll make sure you die a quick death later!"

"Oh?"

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Qingshan conjured a superior-level divine artifact longsword that he found very comfortable to wield: "The reason I've been waiting here is to see just how strong a six-star demon really is. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

"Insanity!"

The six-star demon Holmes looked down at Lu Qingshan, and two black hammers emitting a ghostly light quickly appeared in his thick hands, surrounded by endless flames.

The battle between Holmes, a six-star demon renowned throughout Silvermoon City, and Lu Qingshan, an outsider from another world, is about to erupt.

"Let's see how strong this person is first!"

A glint of light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and then he immediately used his movement technique, becoming like a real lightning bolt, his speed instantly soaring to its limit.

"Die!" Holmes, wielding twin hammers, suddenly sprang into action.

The battle begins instantly!
The black divine hammer, burning with flames, was swung around, seemingly shattering the surrounding space, and then, like two shooting stars, it madly bombarded Lu Qingshan.

Wow!
A dazzling sword light instantly met the attack.

Wherever the sword light went, a visible crack appeared in the surrounding space.

boom!
Holmes's giant hammer and Lu Qingshan's longsword collided instantly, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards in all directions.

"It's really awesome!"

Feeling the intense recoil, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "This six-star demon's strength is indeed extraordinary. He alone is probably enough to kill thousands of ordinary high-level gods!"

It should be noted that the basic power of all high-ranking gods is the same.

Like Lington, Lu Qingshan could easily kill him without breaking a sweat, but Holmes' strength was already something that made him feel something special.

Of course, these are just some special cases.

While Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, Holmes on the other side was also somewhat stunned after feeling the recoil from his hand.

It should be noted that this clone of his is skilled in fire-based laws and wields a divine hammer that has been nurtured for countless years, which makes his power burst extremely terrifying, even comparable to a seven-star demon.

But now, the enemy in front of them is able to withstand it with a seemingly ordinary longsword, which is truly unbelievable.

"Could he be a seven-star demon?" At this thought, Holmes' fighting spirit vanished instantly.

However, Lu Qingshan, who was not far away, had no intention of letting him go, so he quickly charged forward again with his long sword in hand.

boom! boom! boom!
As the two clashed again and again, Holmes's fear grew stronger and stronger.

Lu Qingshan, however, was constantly thinking even while fighting his opponent.

"The gods of this Panlong world do have some tricks up their sleeves!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "They are not very strong in their understanding of the laws. Even the main gods may not be able to comprehend a law to the Great Perfection level!"

"But their understanding of the laws is still quite impressive, and coupled with the long period of time they've spent in the Panlong World, they truly possess some special methods!"

"But that's all! This six-star demon, even at its full power, is only slightly stronger than a typical King-level expert at their limit!"

"Moreover, none of them are immortal, so their ability to survive is much weaker!"

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan's figure instantly changed and quickly appeared to Holmes' right rear side.

"Mystic Thunder Blade!"

The longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand transformed into a dazzling light, so beautiful it was mesmerizing.

Boom!

Holmes turned around and swung his hammer, trying to block Lu Qingshan's sword.

But the longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand seemed to have eyes, and it quickly drew a winding trajectory before slicing across Holmes's neck.

Under Lu Qingshan's sword strike, Holmes's body was severed from his head, and a black divine spark flew out instantly.

"That was really easy!"

Looking at the black divine spark floating in front of him, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "If this were on the battlefield outside the realm, killing a peak-level King would be much more difficult!"

It should be noted that in the world of Swallowed Star, all the powerful beings above the Marquis level possess immortality.

Aside from soul attacks, it is extremely difficult to annihilate an opponent through physical attacks, let alone kill them with a single sword strike.

"but……"

Lu Qingshan quickly had another thought: "If a mere six-star demon has such abilities, what about a seven-star demon, or even an Asura or a Great Perfection Upper God?"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly abandoned his idea of ​​leaving immediately after buying the treasures, and instead decided to find some strong people in this hell to have a good sparring match.

Of course, for Lu Qingshan, the most important thing right now is to return to Silvermoon City and buy the supplies he wants.

However, when Lu Qingshan was examining the spoils left behind by Holmes, he discovered that Holmes also possessed other divine avatars, so the spatial ring could not be opened either.

"What bad luck!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to continue fishing.

Fortunately, hell is never short of bandits willing to take risks. The treasures Lu Qingshan offered for the second fishing trip were even more valuable, so the bandits he caught were even stronger.

Although some of them possessed divine avatars, the wealth he could acquire alone amounted to hundreds of billions of inkstones, enough for Lu Qingshan to use.

As a result, Lu Qingshan, who had acquired many spoils of war, quickly returned to Silvermoon City and then purchased many treasures he wanted there.

Including one lower-level godhood, one middle-level godhood, and one higher-level godhood from eleven systems such as the Seven Great Laws and the Four Great Rules, as well as numerous treasures such as the Soul Golden Bead...

Of course, Lu Qingshan didn't forget to prepare some treasures for Yale, since he would need Yale to send the many treasures he purchased to the Swallowed Star world through his monthly free bonus quota.

After nearly exhausting his wealth, Lu Qingshan quickly embarked on his journey to find and challenge powerful figures in hell.

　I have something to do today, so there will only be one update!

　　Furthermore, given the protagonist's current strength, there's almost no good plot to write in the Panlong world (of course, this is also because I'm not familiar with the Panlong's devouring aspect). The story will likely wrap up tomorrow, returning to the devouring theme. Please leave a comment if you have any Panlong plot ideas you'd like to see, and I'll briefly outline them in the chat group later.
