Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 244 The Lord of Bibo Mansion, a Respectable Deity

The powerful beings in hell are generally distinguished by their association with demons.

The Seven Star Demon is the strongest of all demons.

Under normal circumstances, even within an entire prefecture spanning a radius of one billion miles, the number of Seven-Star Demons would not be too large.

Above the Seven Star Demons are the Asura and the Lord of Purgatory.

The entire hell realm is vast, and after countless years of accumulation, the number of powerful beings is terrifying.

Even so, there are only 108 Asuras and 108 Purgatory Commanders in the entire hell.

Other powerful individuals who wish to become an Asura or a Purgatory Commander must defeat an Asura or a Purgatory Commander.

Among them, the 108 Asuras are the lords of the 108 palaces of Hell, while the 108 Purgatory Commanders lead an army in the endless purgatory of Hell.

In this world of Panlong, strength is often judged by the fusion of profound laws.

Among the six profound laws of the earth element, a high-ranking god who can fuse four of them can be considered a seven-star demon.

Above the Seven Star Demons, there are naturally super strong beings who have fused five or even nearly fused six types, namely the Asuras and the Purgatory Commanders;
Of course, besides these powerful beings, there are also Great Perfection Supreme Gods who can completely integrate all the profound mysteries together.

However, such perfect high-level gods are fewer in number than main gods.

Throughout the countless planes and endless ages of the Panlong World, only a few dozen Great Perfection Supreme Gods have ever appeared.

Although they are not as powerful as the main god, they are respected by the main god, and even the main god is willing to win them over.

After purchasing all the necessary supplies, Lu Qingshan quickly began searching for suitable Seven Star Demons to spar with in Silvermoon City.

Unfortunately, although the Seven-Star Demon is stronger than the Six-Star Demon, it is only equivalent to a slightly stronger King-level expert.

Of course, in the world of Swallowing the Stars, with immortality, given the difference in strength between a six-star demon and a seven-star demon, it would be very difficult for a seven-star demon to kill a six-star demon.
However, there is no immortality in this Panlong world. As long as one's strength is slightly inferior, there is a chance to kill the opponent, not to mention the difference between a seven-star demon and a six-star demon.

Of course, although the Seven Star Demon's strength is not as great as Lu Qingshan's, he still has many merits.

So after finding a few Seven-Star Demons to spar with, Lu Qingshan quickly set off for Bibo City.

Bibo City is the most prosperous of the ten cities in Bibo Prefecture, and it is also the core of Bibo Prefecture. The only Asura in Bibo Prefecture, who is also the Lord of Bibo Prefecture, is located there.

Lu Qingshan's trip to Bibo City was naturally to have a sparring match with the Bibo Prefecture Master.

In Hell, powerful Seven-Star Demons often attempt to challenge the Lord of the Hell and become Asuras, so the process of challenging the Lord of the Hell is quite complicated.

However, what Lu Qingshan wanted was to spar rather than challenge, so after demonstrating his strength in Bibo City, he quickly got the opportunity to spar with the Lord of Bibo Prefecture.

……

In a desolate wilderness outside Bibo City, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Bibo Prefecture were suspended in mid-air, facing each other from afar.

Because it was just a friendly spar, Lord Bibo didn't make the battle public knowledge, and Lu Qingshan naturally didn't care either.

After all, he wanted to spar with the Lord of Bibo Palace just to experience the strength of Shura.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan was wearing purple-gold armor, while the Lord of Bibo Mansion was wearing a set of blue close-fitting short shirt and trousers. His seemingly thin body seemed to conceal terrifying energy.

"Lord Bibo!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly in greeting.

"Hahaha!"

Lord Bibo looked at Lu Qingshan, then smiled and said, "Lu Qingshan, since you want to see my strength, then I will grant your wish!"

"However, if you are defeated by me, you will have to serve under me from now on!"

"Of course!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

In fact, this was also the condition that enabled him to fight against the Lord of Bibo Mansion.

After Lu Qingshan displayed strength comparable to a seven-star demon, he quickly attracted the attention of the Lord of Bibo Mansion, who then planned to recruit him.

Lu Qingshan also took this opportunity to ask for a chance to spar with Lord Bibo.

When he first heard Lu Qingshan's request, Lord Bibo thought he was there to seize the position of Lord of the Manor. But after Lu Qingshan explained, he understood Lu Qingshan's intentions.

Since it was merely a friendly spar, Lord Bibo was naturally willing, and if he won, he would gain another helper under his command.

“In that case, you should make the first move!” Lord Bibo said quickly.

After all, in his eyes, Lu Qingshan's strength was far inferior to his own.

"Alright!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and a high-level divine artifact longsword immediately appeared in his hand. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the direction of the Azure Wave Palace Master.

Upon noticing Lu Qingshan's explosive speed, Lord Bibo was slightly surprised, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "Such speed!"

call!
The Lord of the Azure Wave Palace swayed slightly, and his shoulders suddenly expanded like a crab. Then, the space around his body began to tremble slightly, as if there was an extremely strong gravitational force surrounding him.

As Lu Qingshan approached the Lord of Bibo Mansion, he quickly sensed an extremely powerful distorting force, and his speed slowed down.

At this moment, a battle blade radiating a terrifying aura quickly appeared in the hand of the Lord of Bibo Mansion, and then he slashed directly towards the direction where Lu Qingshan was.

Rumble!
In an instant, the longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand clashed with the battle saber in the hand of the Lord of Bibo Mansion, and endless shockwaves swept in all directions.

"kindness?"

After feeling the immense impact transmitted back from the blade, Lord Bibo's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly realized that Lu Qingshan's strength was greater than he had imagined, and that he was even capable of threatening him.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised after sensing the strength of the Lord of Bibo Palace.

"This Lord of the Azure Wave Palace is far more powerful than those Seven-Star Demons from before!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Moreover, he has undoubtedly comprehended the laws of the earth element. There is a peculiar 'gravitational field' around his body that can greatly reduce my speed when I get close to him!"

boom! boom! boom!
Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Bibo Manor clashed repeatedly, the sounds of swords clashing echoing incessantly.

After a short while, the two finally separated.

"You are very strong!"

Lord Bibo looked at Lu Qingshan not far away: "I didn't expect you to be much stronger than I imagined!"

"I suppose you, Lord of the Manor, also have some hidden tricks up your sleeve!" Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"I am able to serve as the head of a prefecture, naturally I have some special skills!"

Lord Bibo gripped his jet-black battle blade and said seriously, "However, once I unleash my ultimate move, you might die!"

"If you came here to challenge my position as the Lord of the Manor, then of course you deserve to die. But you only want to spar with me. It would be a pity if you were to perish at my hands like this!"

"Rest assured, Lord!"

Sensing the goodwill of Lord Bibo, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Since I dare to spar with you, Lord Bibo, I naturally have some means of self-preservation. So please don't hesitate to make your move!"

"Well!"

Lord Bibo looked at Lu Qingshan solemnly and then said, "Your strength is indeed very strong, and you are qualified to be my opponent. To show my respect for you, I will go all out from now on!"

"Mm!" Lu Qingshan nodded in response with a smile.

Then...

The Lord of the Azure Wave Palace merely swayed his body slightly, and the gravitational field around him seemed to materialize, forming a protective layer around his body.

Wow!
After this protective layer appeared, Lord Bibo switched from defense to offense, directly charging towards Lu Qingshan's direction with his dark battle blade in hand.

At this moment, the speed that Lord Bibo unleashed was much faster than Lu Qingshan's previous burst speed.

"That speed?"

Having sensed the formidable strength of the Lord of Bibo Mansion, Lu Qingshan finally stopped holding back.

In an instant, he pushed the power of a realm master, which was 100,000 times greater than that of a realm master, the amplitude of his body's vibrations, and even the fundamental laws of lightning that he had brought with him from this cross-realm crossing to their limits.

call out!
At this moment, Lu Qingshan was like a bolt of lightning. A crack appeared in the surrounding space, and then the long sword in Lu Qingshan's hand pierced directly into the chest of the Lord of Bibo Mansion.

After Lu Qingshan unleashed his full power, the Lord of Bibo Mansion instantly felt an extremely terrifying pressure.

call!
Faced with this situation, the Lord of Bibo Palace did not back down at all, but instead swung his battle blade once more. The blade, as black as ink, now even faintly shimmered with an earthy yellow light, clearly demonstrating that he had pushed the earth elemental laws to their limit.

Where the black blade passed, space itself shattered inch by inch. Such terrifying attack power, even the slightest aftershock, would probably be enough to tear apart an ordinary high-level god.

boom!
Lu Qingshan's longsword clashed with the battle blade in the hands of the Lord of Bibo Mansion once again, and the surrounding space even exploded.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Under this terrifying impact, both Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Bibo Mansion were sent flying backward.

"What a terrifying attack!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the Lord of Bibo Mansion from afar, feeling a great sense of admiration.

It should be noted that the Lord of Bibo Palace has not yet reached the Great Perfection realm.

Without the enhancement of willpower, his basic strength was the same as other high-level gods, but thanks to his understanding of the laws of earth, he was able to unleash such terrifying power, which was indeed very frightening.

And on the other side...

"What terrifying power!"

Sensing the power Lu Qingshan had just unleashed, the Lord of Bibo Palace was also taken aback: "My earth-elemental divine avatar is most adept at unleashing power. Below the Great Perfection level, I have yet to encounter many people who can suppress me in terms of power!"

"Lu Qingshan's power is actually this terrifying?"

After this brief clash, both Lu Qingshan and Lord Bibo realized that the person before them was definitely a formidable opponent.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, none of them were willing to easily admit defeat.

And so, the two figures crossed paths with lightning speed time and time again, their swords clashing repeatedly.

hum!
Finally, for the first time since crossing over into another realm, Lu Qingshan unleashed his soul attack.

Faced with Lu Qingshan's terrifying soul attack, the Lord of Bibo Palace could only rely on a soul defense artifact he had once obtained to resist it, but even so, his movements were slightly sluggish.

At that moment, Lu Qingshan's long sword pierced directly into the chest of the Lord of Bibo Mansion.

However, at the last moment, Lu Qingshan stopped abruptly, his longsword halting in front of the Lord of Bibo Mansion.

At this moment, seeing Lu Qingshan stop, the drop of Earth God power in the hand of the divine avatar in the soul ocean of the Azure Wave Palace Master also stopped erupting.

It should be noted that the Lord of Bibo Palace is, after all, an Asura, and has a great chance of obtaining the power of the main god.

So when he realized he was in mortal danger, he quickly prepared to use the power of the Supreme God to save his life.

But to his surprise, Lu Qingshan stopped at the last moment, so he naturally wouldn't waste the power of the Earth God that he had used to save his life.

"Lu Qingshan, you..."

Looking at Lu Qingshan, who finally stopped, Lord Bibo was quite puzzled.

Although the two of them had agreed that it was just a friendly spar, if Lu Qingshan had actually killed him just now, he could have become the new lord of Bibo Prefecture.

If it were him, there would be absolutely no way he would stop at this final moment.

"Master of the Palace!"

Lu Qingshan sheathed his longsword and then quickly said, "I came here only to spar with you. As for the so-called position of Lord of the Prefecture, it is not important to me!"

The reason Lu Qingshan stopped at the end was naturally not because he was afraid of the power of the main god that the Lord of Bibo Palace might possess.

The power of the main god can indeed greatly enhance the strength of the Lord of the Azure Wave Palace. Although Lu Qingshan does not have the power of the main god, he is able to burn his own divine power.

If they really fought to the death, the boost from burning divine power would probably surpass that from using the power of a main god, not to mention the terrifying defensive power brought by immortality.

The reason he stopped was entirely because he admired a powerful figure like Lord Bibo!
To be honest, the reason he was able to defeat Lord Bibo this time, besides his soul attack, was also because his basic strength far exceeded that of his opponent.

If Lu Qingshan was only using basic power comparable to that of a high-level god, then he would be far inferior to the Lord of Bibo Mansion before him.

"I thought that with my complete understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning, I could rival a high-level god at the Great Perfection, but I never imagined that I was just being delusional!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Although the gods in this Panlong World are relatively weak in their understanding of the laws, their ability to develop those laws is incredibly extraordinary!"

"This Lord of the Azure Wave Palace wasn't even at the Great Perfection stage, yet he was able to fight me to a standstill thanks to his understanding of the laws of the earth. In the end, I still won by relying on my soul attack!"

This battle even reminded Lu Qingshan of some things in the world of Swallowed Star.

In the original novel, after entering the Jin world, Luo Feng encountered an opponent in the God King Realm who could unleash a sixth-order secret technique using only lower-level laws.

You should know that a sixth-order secret technique is already at the level of the strongest in the universe.

Creating a sixth-order secret technique from a single lower-level law is an absolutely incredible thing in the primordial universe!
The gods of this Panlong world have undoubtedly embarked on this path.

Although they are still far from that level, they far surpass those ordinary immortals in the Devouring Star World who have mastered a complete lower-level primordial law.

That is why Lu Qingshan admired them so much.

After all, in this Panlong world, they cannot reach the level of a main god simply through cultivation.

In the world of Swallowed Star, after mastering the complete lower-level fundamental laws, one can continue to comprehend the fundamental laws of time and space, thereby breaking through to the realm of a cosmic venerable or even a cosmic master.

"I lost!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, Lord Bibo quickly spoke up as well.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

The defeat wasn't due to the opponent, but rather the gap between the Panlong World and the Swallowed Star World.

If this Lord of Azure Waves were placed in the Devouring Star World, he might not be able to become the Lord of the Universe, but he should have no problem becoming a Universe Venerable!

……

Because Lu Qingshan had no intention of seizing the position of Lord of Bibo Prefecture, even though Lord of Bibo Prefecture lost the battle, he remained very enthusiastic towards Lu Qingshan.

After all, Lu Qingshan was stronger than him, and there was no conflict of interest between them. It would be a fool not to befriend him.

Next, Lord Bibo hosted a lavish banquet at his residence to entertain Lu Qingshan, who naturally accepted the invitation.

It must be said that this Lord of the Azure Wave Palace is among the top in terms of both knowledge and strength among the 108 palace lords of Hell, and he is even the chief messenger of the Purple Thorn Monarch.

"Brother Qingshan!"

At the banquet, Lord Bibo looked at Lu Qingshan with a smile and said, "With your strength, becoming a Lord of a Prefecture in my Hell or the Commander of Purgatory would be a very simple matter. Even becoming an Envoy of the Main God would not be difficult!"

"If you're willing, I can introduce you to the Purple Thorn Monarch. Once you become the Purple Thorn Monarch's chief messenger, you'll definitely receive a divine artifact, and your strength should increase accordingly!"

"Still not!"

Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord of the Palace, but I'm used to being free and independent, and I don't have any intention of becoming a messenger of the main god for the time being!"

"By the way, Lord of the Manor, you are very knowledgeable. I wonder if you could tell me just how powerful a Great Perfection Upper God really is!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Bibo Palace was startled, and then asked, "Brother Qingshan, you're not going to spar with a Great Perfection expert, are you?"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

He did have this idea, but Great Perfection Supreme Gods are extremely rare, even rarer than Main Gods, so it would be very difficult for him to encounter one.

"The strength of a Great Perfection Upper God is absolutely terrifying!"

Lord Bibo quickly said, "I have seen several Great Perfection Upper Gods make a move. My power burst is already quite strong, but those Great Perfection beings still surpass me by more than ten times in terms of power burst!"

"Moreover, their strength is extremely comprehensive. Whether it's attack, defense, or soul defense, they are impeccable in every aspect!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan seemed to be deep in thought.

Judging from what Lord Bibo said, his strength at the Great Perfection stage should be similar to that of an invincible king.

Lu Qingshan came from another realm this time, carrying only power equivalent to the peak of the King-level realm. Although he used a secret technique with an amplitude of more than eighty times, there was still a gap between him and the invincible King-level realm in terms of treasures and the level of life genes.

"Brother Qingshan, although you are very strong, if you really fight against a Great Perfection Upper God, you probably won't last more than a few moves!"

After saying this, Lord Bibo quickly handed a spatial ring to Lu Qingshan and said, "Inside are some battles involving Great Perfection Upper Gods. Brother Qingshan, you can take a look!"

"Thank you, Lord of the Manor!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then quickly accepted the spatial ring handed to him by Lord of the Azure Wave Manor.
