Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 256 Amazing Harvest
Just as the three Universe Venerables of the Demon Clan began exploring the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm, Lu Qingshan, Mad Blade Venerable, and Iron Eagle Venerable were also exploring the same area.

The direction that Lu Qingshan and his two companions were heading was also the direction that the three demon clan members, including the Azure Wolf Venerable, were in.

Of course, the two teams are now more than a light-year apart, so they will not be able to meet in the short term.

However, if neither side changes its course, they will certainly meet within the next few years.

Of course, encountering powerful figures from opposing factions is relatively easy when exploring secret realms of the universe; the probability is much higher than encountering treasures.

Unlike the battlefields outside the realm, beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables generally do not engage in battle even when they encounter powerful figures from opposing factions, unless there is a significant conflict of interest or grudge.

Therefore, even if Lu Qingshan and his two companions were to meet the three powerful members of the demon race, they would most likely just exchange insults and mockery.

Of course, neither Lu Qingshan nor the demon race has discovered any trace of the other side, so things are proceeding as usual.

And so time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than two years had gone by.

For more than two years, Lu Qingshan's side and the demon race's side maintained a flight speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second. Although they would take a break occasionally, they never changed their direction of travel.

That is why the distance between the two teams is now less than one billion kilometers.

However, both sides shielded themselves with small detectors, so the large detectors they used could not detect each other's tracks at all.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan, Mad Blade Venerable, and Iron Eagle Venerable continued to fly forward, while also using large and small detectors and divine power to explore the surrounding situation.

Although they had not made any progress in the past two years, they were not impatient at all.

After all, such an experience is the normal situation when exploring the secret realm of the universe. Their previous lucky discovery of the Purple Cloud Heart Grass was rather special.

"I've been in this Azure Roc Secret Realm for over 100,000 years, and I've only ever fought two real battles!"

As Lu Qingshan followed Mad Blade Venerable and the other man flying forward, he sighed inwardly, "Reaching the level of a Universe Venerable, it is far, far more difficult to fight against a powerhouse of the same level than at the Immortal God stage!"

"Even if we do encounter a strong opponent from the opposing faction, we will most likely not engage in combat!"

"Simply exploring and searching for treasure in this cosmic mystery is just too boring!"

Yes, boring!
For most cosmic beings, obtaining so many treasures in such a mundane adventure is definitely a stroke of incredible luck.
But for Lu Qingshan, it was rather boring.

If he could, he would prefer to hunt down powerful figures from opposing factions at will, just like an immortal god, so that even if his clones perished as a result, they could be reborn.

Unfortunately, once you reach the level of a Cosmic Venerable, even powerful individuals from opposing factions rarely fight each other.

Moreover, he is unlikely to encounter enemy powerhouses as frequently as he does on the battlefields outside the realm, unless he goes directly to the territories of alien races such as the demon race and the insect race to carry out massacres.

However, in this case, the one who would kill him would definitely be the cosmic overlord of these hostile races, and there might even be a cosmic lord who is proficient in soul attacks!

"That's it!"

Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, "So what if it's boring? Anyway, I have other clones cultivating in seclusion!"

"It's good for this second clone to slowly explore the universe and accumulate some wealth. That way, when I become stronger, I can exchange it for even more powerful treasures!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, the Mad Saber Venerable suddenly exclaimed, "Something's wrong!"

Upon hearing Mad Saber Venerable's words, Lu Qingshan and Iron Eagle Venerable quickly looked at the situation displayed by the large detector.

On the illusory screen, more than 300 million kilometers in front of them, three dazzling streaks of light streaked across the void, leaving behind trails of light.

"That is……"

After observing the specific treasures within the three streaks of light through the large detector, Venerable Iron Eagle was stunned.

"It's Void Sand!"

The Mad Blade Venerable, standing to the side, exclaimed with even greater excitement, "It's definitely Void Sand! And there are three of them!"

Lu Qingshan could now see the objects within the three streaks of light.

They were three strange, reddish objects, tens of kilometers in diameter and irregularly shaped, that looked like small meteorites.

Where these three crimson treasures, which resembled meteorites, passed, they left behind strange-looking trails in the void.

"That's right! It must be Void Sand!"

Lu Qingshan smiled as well: "Traces in the void, this scene is exactly the same as the scene of the emergence of void sand recorded in the virtual universe!"

Void Sand: A rare treasure that may be born only in extremely special places in the vast universe. When it takes shape, it is irregular in shape. If it is passed through the void, it can leave a mark on the void.

Void Sand is one of the precious materials for crafting supreme treasures. A single Void Sand can fetch as much as one hundred treasure points in the human race's treasury.

It should be noted that even if a powerful individual in the human race breaks through to the level of a Universe Venerable, the human race will only bestow upon them one hundred Treasure Points.

Now that three Void Sands have appeared simultaneously, that's three hundred Treasure Points, enough to drive even High-Level Venerables crazy.

"Hahaha!"

Mad Blade Venerable laughed heartily, "Looks like we're going to strike it rich this time!"

"That's right!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable said excitedly, "If we can get our hands on these three grains of Void Sand, it will be enough to make up for all the wealth we have accumulated over countless years!"

As he said this, Lu Qingshan and the other two instantly accelerated their flight speed to near-light speed and rushed towards the direction of the void sand.

It wasn't that they didn't want to teleport to the vicinity of the Void Sand and take it for themselves; it was simply because once the Void Sand appeared, the void within a radius of billions of kilometers would be completely sealed off. Apart from a very few powerful individuals with special abilities, no one else could approach it by teleporting.

Fortunately, the three void sands were not flying very fast, and the distance between them was not too far.

They only need to increase their speed to near the speed of light, and it won't be long before they catch up with those three void sands.

……

While Lu Qingshan and his two companions were rapidly flying towards the location of the three Void Sands, the three members of the Demon Clan's Azure Wolf Venerable camp also quickly discovered the traces of the Void Sands through a large detector.

"It's Void Sand!" Venerable Azure Wolf exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right!"

The Dragon Sable Venerable, standing to the side, said with equal excitement, "And this time there are three at once! It seems our previous guess was correct!"

"Hurry up and rush over there to get your hands on that Void Sand!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable instantly increased his speed to near-light speed, then transmitted his voice, saying, "It would be terrible if other powerful individuals beat us to it!"

"Look at what you're saying!"

Venerable Dragon Sable also increased his speed to catch up, then casually said, "This Azure Roc Secret Realm is so vast, how many powerful figures have ventured into it? How could we possibly run into it by chance?"

"That's true!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable nodded slightly, then said in the same way, "However, it would be better if we got our hands on these three Void Sands as soon as possible, so we could feel more at ease!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The three powerful demons instantly transformed into three streaks of light and flew towards the direction of the Void Sand.

However, the distance between the Azure Wolf Venerable and his two companions and the Void Sand was significantly greater than that between Lu Qingshan and his companions. If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Qingshan and his group would definitely catch up with the three Void Sand particles much sooner. Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan, Mad Blade Venerable, and Iron Eagle Venerable swiftly flew through the air, traversing wastelands and forests, and soon arrived near the three Void Sand particles, whose speed had greatly decreased.

hum!
The Mad Blade Venerable directly unleashed his divine power, quickly enveloping the three Void Sands that were flying through the air.

Under the control of the Mad Blade Venerable's divine power, the speed of these three Void Sands instantly began to decrease rapidly until they came to a complete stop.

"Haha, I got it!"

With a thought, Mad Blade Venerable instantly stored the three Void Sands into the World Ring he carried with him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, although the Azure Wolf Venerable of the demon race was not as fast as Lu Qingshan and his companions, he had now arrived more than a million kilometers away from them.

For a cosmic sovereign, such a short distance, even if it cannot be detected by a detector, is still enough to sense the enemy's information through spatial fluctuations and the pervasive divine power.

After seeing that Mad Blade Venerable had instantly taken away all three Void Sands, the three members of the Demon Clan, including Azure Wolf Venerable, were also completely enraged.

"Damn humans, leave behind the Void Sand, or we'll fight to the death!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable, surrounded by azure light, roared instantly.

"It's a powerful demon!"

When the three Azure Wolf Venerables discovered the whereabouts of Lu Qingshan and his companions, Lu Qingshan and his two companions naturally also immediately noticed their presence.

"They are the Azure Wolf Venerable, the Dragon Sable Venerable, and the Black Wolf Venerable from the demon race!"

Upon sensing the presence of the newcomers, Mad Blade Venerable quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the Void Sand is now in our hands. These three demon bastards are definitely going to have made a wasted trip!"

"Hahaha!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable, standing to the side, quickly laughed and said, "It's really satisfying to see them so furious! These demon scum are no match for us in terms of strength; they're just relying on their enormous divine bodies to wear us down!"

Upon hearing what Mad Saber Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable said, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

Judging from the words of the two Mad Blade Venerables, they seemed to have no regard for the three Dragon Sable Venerables in front of them.

However, in terms of strength alone, the Mad Blade Venerable and his companion should be roughly equal to the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable.

The demon race has a massive divine body, so they should definitely suffer losses if a real battle breaks out.

But now, the two Mad Blade Venerables seemed quite fearless, which naturally puzzled Lu Qingshan.

The Iron Eagle Venerable, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense the doubt in Lu Qingshan's mind, and then quickly said, "Myriad Realms, you don't need to worry too much!"

“We two have dealt with the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable. Although their divine bodies are larger than ours, they are not to be feared!”

"Especially now that the Void Sands are in our hands, their attempt to seize them is nothing short of wishful thinking!"

At this moment, the three Azure Wolf Venerables rushed to the front of Mad Blade Venerables.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, a hint of killing intent flashed through the Dragon Sable Venerable's mind, but he managed to restrain himself for the time being.

"Damn human scum!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable, who had already sealed off this space-time, roared instantly: "Hand over those three Void Sands, or we'll fight to the death!"

"Blue Wolf, you idiot!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable directly mocked, "You don't actually think you still have a chance to obtain that Void Sand, do you?"

"I thought you wouldn't waste any more time after we took the Void Sand, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid!"

"court death!"

Upon hearing Iron Eagle Venerable's words, Azure Wolf Venerable, who was ten kilometers tall, stomped his claw towards the direction where Lu Qingshan and the other two were.

Wow!

Iron Eagle Venerable unleashed a blade of light, blocking the hoof-like claws that were trampling towards the three of them. He then transmitted his voice to Mad Blade Venerable: "Mad Blade, it's too disadvantageous to fight these demon scum. This time, it's up to you!"

"Do not worry!"

Mad Blade Venerable nodded slightly: "Storm Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive temple instantly appeared behind the Mad Blade Venerable. This temple was over ten kilometers high, entirely blue, and looked extremely ancient.

As the temple appeared, Mad Blade Venerable quickly transmitted his voice to Lu Qingshan: "Myriad Realms, hurry into the temple!"

At the same time, Mad Blade Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable also transformed into two streams of light and rushed into the azure temple behind them.

"It's actually a flying palace-type treasure!"

Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, and then he also transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the blue temple behind him.

Palace-type treasures are absolute life-saving artifacts; aside from soul attacks, they can withstand almost all material attacks within their range.

Among the three powerful figures on the demon side, none were skilled in soul attacks, and their physical attack power was insufficient to destroy this palace-like treasure, so they naturally posed no threat to them.

Sure enough, after flying into the cyan palace, Mad Blade Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected such a twist of fate!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable laughed and said, "But the result this time is still good. We obtained three Void Sands without much effort. Our luck is really too good!"

The Mad Blade Venerable, standing to the side, looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "Don't worry about the myriad realms!"

“We’ve dealt with Venerable Dragon Sable and Venerable Azure Wolf before. With their strength, they can’t do anything to us inside this palace-type treasure! Once they lift the spatial blockade, we can leave directly by teleporting!”

The Iron Eagle Venerable sneered, "Damn demon scum, didn't you say you wanted to fight to the death? If you've got the guts, then smash this palace-like treasure to pieces!"

Upon hearing Iron Eagle Venerable's mockery, both Dragon Sable Venerable and Black Wolf Venerable showed expressions of anger.

They wanted to teach Iron Eagle Venerable a heavy lesson, but their strength was simply no match for Lu Qingshan and his two companions who were inside a palace-like treasure.

Only the Azure Wolf Venerable remained calm. Just as the three, including the Dragon Sable Venerable, were about to give up, he finally spoke.

"Mad Blade, you don't think I don't know you possess a flying palace-type treasure, do you?!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable said disdainfully, "Last time in the 'Wuhua Secret Realm,' you used this very move to escape from my demon race's Venerable Tianming, didn't you!"

"What a pity! You've run into me this time; you're just unlucky!"

Upon hearing this, the Mad Blade Venerable, one of the palace-type treasures, immediately burst into laughter.

"Blue Wolf, you don't actually think you're stronger than Venerable Tianming, do you?!"

Mad Blade Venerable said disdainfully, "Even he couldn't do anything to me, so what makes you think you can?"

"Yes! Me!"

As soon as Venerable Azure Wolf finished speaking, a three-story pagoda, entirely crimson in color, instantly appeared behind him.
