Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 259 Forced to Retreat
Just as Lu Qingshan killed the Black Wolf Venerable, three more figures appeared in the void hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Lu Qingshan and the others.

The leader was over twenty meters tall with extremely strong limbs, and had three eyes on his head that constantly flashed with a chilling light.

If Lu Qingshan and the others saw this person, they would immediately recognize him as 'New Maple Venerable' of the Human Race Cosmic Mercenary Alliance!
Venerable Xinfeng possesses the strength of a high-level universe venerable, making him quite powerful. Although he lacks a supreme treasure for protection, he is considered to be in the middle tier among the many high-level universe venerables in the human race.

After Venerable Azure Wolf retrieved the Crimson Fire Tower, Venerable Mad Blade had already sent a distress message to Venerable New Maple and his group, who were also adventuring in the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm.

Although the cosmic rulers of the human race may have internal conflicts, they are still very united when faced with external enemies.

So, having just received Mad Blade Venerable's distress message, and after learning that the opponent was only Azure Wolf Venerable and his two companions, who posed no threat to him, New Maple Venerable immediately rushed over with two companions who possessed the strength of a mid-level universe Venerable.

Initially, they had accurate coordinates and could travel instantly, which was extremely convenient and fast.

However, the space within the battle zone of Lu Qingshan and the others had been completely sealed off, so after arriving in the void 100 million kilometers away from Lu Qingshan and the others, they could only slowly approach the battlefield by flying.

Even if they flew at near-light speed at full speed, it would still take them at least several minutes to reach the battlefield, a distance of 100 million kilometers.

This means that Lu Qingshan and his two companions must hold out for several minutes against the Azure Wolf Venerable and his group.

Originally, Venerable Xinfeng thought that Venerable Kuangdao and his two companions would suffer a lot of losses at the hands of Venerable Qinglang on the demon side. However, as soon as he arrived nearby, before he could even detect the specific situation of the two sides in the battle, he suddenly felt a violent explosion that spread directly over a distance of tens of millions of kilometers.

"Oh no! A powerful individual has self-destructed!"

One of Venerable Xinfeng's companions hurriedly asked anxiously, "Xinfeng, what's going on? What exactly happened?"

They were still hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the battle zone, and were unable to perceive the specific situation occurring within the battle zone through divine power and spatial fluctuations.

As for the detection by the large detectors, they were blocked by the small detectors carried by Venerable Qinglang and others.

However, although they could not perceive the specific situation within the battle area, they could feel the terrifying impact of the powerful figure's self-destruction.

In fact, the impact force was not too powerful in terms of sheer power, but its range was extremely wide, which was clearly different from the attack of a strong person. Therefore, they instantly recognized that this was the power of a strong person's self-destruction.

"I do not know either!"

Venerable Xinfeng quickly transmitted his voice to his two companions, saying, "It's only been a dozen seconds since Venerable Kuangfeng sent me the distress message. In such a short time, they should be able to hold on!"

"Could it be that Venerable Qinglang and the others have made a breakthrough in their strength? Or has something else happened? Never mind, let's hurry over there!"

After saying this, Venerable Xinfeng quickly flew towards the area where Lu Qingshan and the others were located, together with his two companions.

……

And the other side.

"This this……"

After seeing Lu Qingshan force the Black Wolf Venerable to self-destruct, the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable from the demon race were completely stunned.

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

With his massive divine body, Azure Wolf Venerable blasted Mad Blade Venerable back with a single claw attack. Then, his eyes widened, burning with endless flames: "You're courting death!"

It should be noted that the Sirius lineage, as one of the royal families of the demon race, owes much of its existence to the Lord of Sirius, the ruler of the universe.

Aside from the Lord of Sirius, there are not many other Universe Venerables in the Sirius lineage, only seventeen in total, including the Black Wolf Venerable and the Heavenly Flower Venerable who have just broken through not long ago.

Although the Black Wolf Venerable was relatively weak, he had a very good relationship with the Blue Wolf Venerable.

That is why Venerable Azure Wolf brought the other party along when exploring the secret realm of the universe this time.

But now, the Black Wolf Venerable had just begun to act alongside him, and he had so easily fallen at the hands of a powerful human, and right in front of him!
How could he explain this to the leader, and how could he not go mad?

Although the Black Wolf Venerable could be resurrected by the Lord of Sirius after his fall, the price of his resurrection was extremely high, given that he was a cosmic venerable.

Moreover, he now possesses the top-tier flying palace-type treasure, the 'Crimson Fire Tower,' yet he still caused the Black Wolf Venerable's downfall. This is absolutely a display of incompetence!

That is why the Azure Wolf Venerable went completely mad at this moment, roaring wildly at Lu Qingshan.

"Hahaha!"

After hearing what Venerable Azure Wolf said, Lu Qingshan showed no fear. Instead, he directly charged at Venerable Azure Wolf with his Purple Lightning Frost Sword, shouting, "Foolish demon scum, I will not only kill that black wolf, but I will also kill you!"

"Kill me? How arrogant!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable instantly swung its sharp claws and roared as it charged toward Lu Qingshan's location.

Seeing this, Mad Blade Venerable wanted to help, but was interrupted by Lu Qingshan's telepathic message.

"Crazy knife!"

Lu Qingshan immediately transmitted his voice, "Leave Venerable Qinglang to me, you go and help Tie Ying!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's telepathic message, Mad Blade Venerable immediately nodded and replied, "Myriad Realms, then be careful!"

He had witnessed Lu Qingshan's methods in killing the Black Wolf Venerable, and Lu Qingshan's strength was definitely greater than his own, so he naturally had no worries.

"Take my move!"

After Mad Saber Venerable went to support Iron Eagle Venerable, Lu Qingshan also roared angrily at Azure Wolf Venerable.

Wow!

A dazzling purple sword light suddenly shone, then shot towards the Azure Wolf Venerable who was charging towards him from afar.

The Azure Wolf Venerable's claw strike, unleashed in fury, possessed boundless power, while Lu Qingshan's purple sword light carried even greater might.

Rumble!
The moment the two collided, the immense power completely turned a large area into a vacuum, sweeping away even the most basic spatial particle streams.

Immediately afterwards...

The Azure Wolf Venerable retreated rapidly with all four hooves, while Lu Qingshan only took three steps back.

"Hahaha!"

Having regained his footing, Lu Qingshan immediately charged towards Venerable Qinglang again: "Venerable Qinglang, your strength isn't all that great!"

"damn it!"

Faced with Lu Qingshan's ferocious attack, Venerable Qinglang was also extremely angry, but he did not expect that he would be at a disadvantage in the battle.

boom! boom! boom……

At the level of a Cosmic Venerable, the speed of combat is astounding.

Lu Qingshan and Venerable Qinglang clashed repeatedly, exchanging blows hundreds of times in just a few seconds, with Venerable Qinglang being completely overwhelmed by Lu Qingshan in every single one of their encounters!

After the two clashed again, Qinglang Venerable, realizing that Lu Qingshan's divine body had not weakened at all, finally used the force of his counterattack to rush towards Long Diao Venerable, who was being suppressed by Kuangdao Venerable and Tieying Venerable not far away.

Wow!

During the flight, a crimson three-story pagoda quickly appeared behind Venerable Azure Wolf; it was none other than the top-tier flying palace-type treasure, the 'Crimson Fire Pagoda'!
As soon as the Crimson Fire Tower appeared, it flew directly towards Venerable Azure Wolf. Venerable Azure Wolf then used the impact of the battle to instantly hide inside the Crimson Fire Tower, and then controlled the Crimson Fire Tower to fly towards Venerable Dragon Sable not far away.

Seeing this, Venerable Dragon Sable quickly made a series of moves to temporarily blast Venerable Mad Blade and Venerable Iron Eagle back, and then also hid inside the Crimson Fire Tower.

"Blue Wolf!"

As soon as Venerable Dragon Sable appeared inside the Crimson Fire Tower, he immediately said, "I didn't expect that Venerable of Myriad Realms to be so powerful, and he even dared to bring other clones with him!"

"It seems he's either confident of surviving, or he has a third clone!"

"We've really been defeated by this bastard this time. We've not only lost a lot of divine power, but we've also lost Black Wolf!"

In fact, even in a one-on-two situation, the Dragon Sable Venerable, with his enormous divine body, was not afraid of Mad Blade Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable at all; it was just that being tormented by them was very uncomfortable.

However, not only is his divine body enormous, but he also possesses top-tier armor to protect him. If the battle were to continue, the first to give out would still be Mad Blade Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable.

However, given how things have developed, it's impossible for them to snatch the treasure from Lu Qingshan and his companions now. Therefore, they might as well give up quickly and conserve their divine power.

the other side.

When Lu Qingshan, Mad Blade Venerable, and Iron Eagle Venerable saw that the demon race's Azure Wolf Venerable and Dragon Sable Venerable had taken refuge in the Crimson Fire Tower, they quickly stopped burning their divine power and did not intend to continue attacking the other side.

After all, the two of them were hiding inside the Crimson Fire Tower. Without a higher-level sealing treasure in hand, even a cosmic overlord would be unable to do anything to them, let alone them.

"Hahaha!"

Iron Eagle Venerable even transmitted his voice directly: "Today was truly exhilarating! Not only did we obtain three Void Sands, but we also inflicted a great loss on these demon scum, and even that Black Wolf Venerable was killed by the Myriad Realms!"

"Who says it isn't?"

At this moment, the Mad Blade Venerable also had a smile on his face: "These demon scum usually act recklessly because of their huge divine bodies. Today, we've finally taught them a lesson!"

While the three Mad Saber Venerables were exchanging pleasant telepathic messages...

"The insidious Venerable One of All Realms!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable inside the Crimson Fire Tower roared, "You just wait! We, the demon race, the Heavenly Wolf lineage, will definitely not let you go!"

"You won't let me go?"

Lu Qingshan said disdainfully, "I want to see what tricks your demon race has up its sleeve. If you're so capable, don't hide in the Crimson Fire Tower, come out and fight me again!"

Upon hearing this, both the Dragon Sable Venerable and the Azure Wolf Venerable within the Crimson Fire Tower were filled with rage.

When they first met, it was Lu Qingshan and his two companions who hid in the palace-like treasure, but now it has become them, and even the Black Wolf Venerable has perished.

Naturally, they were furious at the reversal of fortune.

The culprit behind all this is the treacherous and cunning Lu Qingshan, who deliberately concealed his strength from the very beginning.

"Blue Wolf, I know you're furious right now, but don't fall for this Venerable of Myriad Realms' trick!"

While transmitting his voice to Venerable Long Diao to ensure the safety of Venerable Qinglang, Venerable Long Diao said to Lu Qingshan outside, "Venerable Wanjie, we are currently inside the Crimson Fire Tower. Feel free to use any means you have!"

"Unfortunately, even if you were ten or a hundred times stronger, you would still be powerless to do anything about it!"

"Foolish demons!"

Before Lu Qingshan could speak, the Mad Saber Venerable spoke up: "All you're good for is empty talk!"

"you……"

Hearing what Venerable Mad Blade and Venerable Iron Eagle said, Venerable Dragon Sable was also filled with anger.

However, reason told him that continuing to fight would not benefit him, so he stopped talking and instead said directly to the Azure Wolf Venerable beside him, "Azure Wolf, continuing to fight is clearly not beneficial to us anymore. Moreover, this Azure Phoenix Secret Realm is, after all, within the territory of the human race. Once other powerful members of the human race arrive, it will be troublesome for us to leave!"

"All right!"

Upon hearing what Venerable Dragon Sable said, Venerable Azure Wolf quickly lifted the spatial blockade. After leaving Lu Qingshan and the others with a harsh remark, he instantly disappeared.

Lu Qingshan and the other two did not use spatial sealing to prevent the other party from leaving, after all, the price to pay for dealing with the Azure Wolf Venerable and others hiding in the Crimson Fire Tower would definitely be very high.

Even if they can invite powerful figures from other human races, the master of the Crimson Fire Tower, 'Greedy Moon Venerable,' will definitely come, and a great battle might break out then.

If it were something of great benefit, that would be one thing, but the cause of this incident was merely three grains of void sand, which is hardly worth starting a major war for a cosmic overlord.

Moreover, once such a major battle breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict!
Moreover, Lu Qingshan and his companions not only did not suffer a major loss this time, but also obtained three Void Sands and even killed the Black Wolf Venerable. Naturally, they should know when to stop while they are ahead.

Just after Venerable Qinglang and Venerable Longshao left, Venerable Xinfeng and his two companions, who had sensed the dissipation of spatial fluctuations in the distant void, immediately teleported to Lu Qingshan and his two companions.

"Crazy knife!"

As soon as Venerable Xinfeng appeared, he immediately asked, "Are you all alright? Where are the demon clan's Azure Wolf Venerable and the others?"

"Hahaha! Of course it's alright!"

Mad Blade Venerable immediately laughed and said, "Xinfeng, you're too late this time. You didn't get to witness the scene where Wanjie forced the Black Wolf Venerable of the demon race to self-destruct!"

"This……"

Upon hearing Mad Blade Venerable's words, New Maple Venerable was somewhat bewildered: "Mad Blade, are you saying that the burst of power just now was due to the self-destruction of the Black Wolf Venerable of the Demon Clan, and that the opponent self-destructed because of the Myriad Realms Venerable?"

The two companions of Venerable Xinfeng were also shocked, and then they all looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.

"How can it be false?"

Iron Eagle Venerable quickly said, "That Black Wolf Venerable self-destructed right in front of us; he's definitely dead!"

"This……"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Venerable Xinfeng quickly looked at Lu Qingshan with surprise.

He knew a bit about the Black Wolf Venerable of the demon race. The Heavenly Wolf lineage was a powerful figure with a divine body that was over ten kilometers tall. Even if he wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be an easy task.

But now, Lu Qingshan has only been around for a little over ten million years, and his strength is already this great?
Thinking of this, Venerable Xinfeng quickly said, "Venerable of Myriad Realms, I never expected you to have such astonishing strength!"

"Actually, the main reason is that the Black Wolf Venerable was wearing an ordinary heavy-treasure armor!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "If the opponent is wearing a top-tier magical armor, then there's nothing I can do!"

"So that's it!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's answer, Venerable Xinfeng suddenly understood, but he still quickly said, "Even so, Venerable Wanjie, your strength is already very impressive!"

"Yes!"

One of Venerable Xinfeng's companions quickly added, "Even within our human race, there are many Universe Venerables who have never killed a Universe Venerable from another race!"

"Venerable One of the Myriad Realms, you were able to kill that Black Wolf Venerable in such a short time of cultivation, it's simply astonishing!"

"Hahaha!"

The Mad Blade Venerable quickly smiled and said, "Xin Feng, we must thank the three of you for coming to our aid this time!"

"Mad Blade, you're too kind!"

Venerable Xinfeng quickly replied, "We are all strong members of the human race, so naturally we should help each other!"

"Moreover, we didn't help much by coming here this time. You forced the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable to retreat, and even the Black Wolf Venerable perished at the hands of the Myriad Realms Venerable!"

"However, the fact that we were able to witness the Venerable of Myriad Realms kill the Venerable Black Wolf makes this trip worthwhile!"

It should be noted that, apart from some special places such as the Primordial Star, it is generally very difficult for cosmic beings to perish when they are venturing into the universe.

The Primal Star event has only just ended, and the powerful beings of all races are still recuperating.

Lu Qingshan's killing of the Black Wolf Venerable is considered a significant event, even among both human and demon races.

"Gentlemen, this is not the place to chat!"

Mad Blade Venerable quickly said, "Why don't we return to the human territory first, and then continue our conversation?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan and Iron Eagle Venerable had no objections, and the three of them, including New Maple Venerable, quickly nodded in agreement.

After all, for them, exploring secret realms is a matter of luck; it doesn't matter if they do it sooner or later.

Lu Qingshan's killing of the Black Wolf Venerable of the demon race is definitely something to celebrate. They are naturally willing to return to the human territory with Lu Qingshan and the others to celebrate and spend more time with him.

And so, the group quickly returned to the virtual universe company's global headquarters continent within the human race's territory via the divine kingdom's teleportation, and then held a small banquet at the Mad Blade Venerable's residence.
