Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 260 Famous Throughout the Universe
In the core territory of the demon race, there lies a precious cosmic secret realm.

In the endless, vast starry sky, a palace exuding a powerful aura floats silently.

At this moment, endless flames surrounded the palace. Clusters of black, white, purple, red... flames of various colors were as large as stars, but they still appeared tiny compared to the majestic palace.

If you're far enough away, you can't even see any of it clearly.

Because around this palace, space and time have been completely distorted, as if it were an independent space and time.

At this moment, the area around the palace was completely silent, deathly still.

But at this moment...

Suddenly, a hazy light and shadow appeared on the huge plaza in front of the palace, followed by the appearance of a blue wolf figure about ten kilometers long. It was none other than the Azure Wolf Venerable, who had returned to the demon race's territory from the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm.

After returning to the demon realm, Venerable Azure Wolf first greeted Venerable Dragon Sable, and then quickly arrived at the sacred land of the Heavenly Wolf lineage, near this magnificent palace.

This magnificent palace is none other than the Sirius Palace, a supreme treasure of the flying palace class, which the Lord of the Sirius, one of the rulers of the demon race's universe, relies on to traverse the universe!
"Leader!" The Azure Wolf Venerable, who had revealed his form, quickly prostrated himself on the ground and then respectfully called out.

Suddenly, a pair of eye-like statues on the Sirius Palace ahead blinked, and then a majestic voice quickly rang out from within the palace: "Azure Wolf, what brings you here? Speak!"

"leader!"

The Azure Wolf Venerable quickly and respectfully said, "Black Wolf has just perished!"

"What did you say?"

As soon as Venerable Azure Wolf finished speaking, a burly figure bathed in endless flames slowly walked out of the Heavenly Wolf Palace. It was none other than the most powerful being of the Heavenly Wolf lineage of the demon royal family, the Lord of Heavenly Wolf.

As soon as the Lord of Sirius appeared, he looked down at the Azure Wolf Venerable who was prostrate on the ground and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Blue Wolf quickly and respectfully replied, "That's right, Chief!"

"Previously, I went to explore the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm within the human territory with Black Wolf and Dragon Sable of the Twin-Headed Demon Sable lineage. Then, because of three Void Sands, we fought against Mad Blade Venerable, Iron Eagle Venerable, and Myriad Realms Venerable of the human race!"

"I never expected that damned Venerable of Myriad Realms would be so cunning. He clearly possessed immense strength and numerous treasures, yet he secretly concealed his power, waiting until Black Wolf lowered his guard before suddenly striking, and then Black Wolf perished at his hands!"

"The Venerable One of All Realms?"

After hearing what the Azure Wolf Venerable said, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf was slightly taken aback.

He immediately thought of something that the head of the intelligence department, Venerable Dark Night, had reported to him not long ago.

At that time, the Venerable of Myriad Realms had just broken through to the realm of the Venerable of the Universe. He originally wanted to punish the Venerable of Dark Night, but later his disciple, Venerable Tianhua, suddenly appeared and pleaded for the Venerable of Dark Night, so he let the Venerable of Dark Night go.

But now...

"That little guy from the human race who just broke through to the next level already has the strength to kill a black wolf?"

At this moment, the Lord of Sirius was undoubtedly extremely surprised.

After all, his initial assessment of the Venerable One of Myriad Realms was that even if the other party had an avatar, it would be difficult for him to pose any threat to the demon race.

But only such a short time has passed, and he has already been slapped in the face by Lu Qingshan.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Sirius quickly said, "Show me the whole story, including the battle in which Black Wolf was killed!"

Upon hearing the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf's words, the Azure Wolf Venerable quickly recounted the entire incident, also fully demonstrating Lu Qingshan's battle against the Black Wolf Venerable to the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf.

"Okay!"

After reading these messages, the Lord of Sirius quickly said, "It seems I underestimated this newly ascended Venerable of the Myriad Realms from the human race. To possess such strength so soon after his breakthrough, he should have an easy time reaching the advanced Venerable realm in the future. Moreover, he has the ability to create clones, so he might even have the opportunity to become a cosmic overlord!"

"However, he actually dared to use my Sirius lineage as his stepping stone; he's courting death!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Wolf Venerable quickly and respectfully asked, "Leader, what should we do?"

"Humph!"

The Lord of Sirius quickly snorted coldly, "First, leak this news to the Zerg and the Machine Race. They probably don't want the human race to have another cosmic overlord with an avatar in the future, so they will naturally go looking for trouble with that Venerable of Myriad Realms!"

"At the same time, I will also report this news to the two demon ancestors, and then our demon race's powerful members will certainly not let him off easily!"

“Yes, Chief!” Venerable Blue Wolf nodded quickly.

"besides!"

The Lord of Sirius quickly spoke again: "You borrowed the Crimson Fire Tower of Greedy Moon and allowed Black Wolf to be killed by the Human Race's Myriad Realms Venerable right before your eyes. You also bear some responsibility for his resurrection!"

"Here's what we'll do! Black Wolf hasn't been alive for long, and he needs to be protected by powerful treasures after his resurrection. So, prepare a powerful weapon and a suit of armor for him!"

"As for the cost of resurrection, let him bear it himself!"

"This……"

After hearing the Lord of Sirius's words, the Azure Wolf Venerable hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Chief!"

The Lord of Sirius holds an absolutely supreme position within the Sirius lineage. Since the Lord of Sirius has spoken, even if Venerable Azure Wolf is unwilling, he has no choice but to agree.

Subsequently, the Lord of Sirius quickly began to revive the Black Wolf Venerable.

Seeing this, Venerable Qinglang felt quite emotional.

This is one of the great advantages of being a member of the royal family!
If it were an ordinary race within the demon race, or even a member of the royal family, even after the fall of a cosmic venerable, they would still need to wait for the higher-ups of their race to unify and reverse time to revive them.

However, with the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf lineage, he can revive any fallen powerhouses within the clan at any time, if he so desires.

Soon, under the Lord of Sirius's reversal of time and space, the Black Wolf Venerable who had just fallen was quickly resurrected.

"Here……"

The Black Wolf Venerable was slightly taken aback at first, but after regaining his senses, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "Thank you, Chief, for reversing time and reviving me!"

"Ok!"

Lord Sirius nodded slightly, then looked at Venerable Black Wolf: "Black Wolf, although I have resurrected you, do not forget that you have already died once!"

"From now on, you should focus on your cultivation within the clan and also teach the younger generation! As for the price of this resurrection, you can pay it back slowly!"

“Yes, Chief!” Black Wolf Venerable nodded quickly.

"Alright, you may leave!" As soon as the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly in front of the Azure Wolf Venerable and the other man.

……

At the same time that the Lord of Sirius reversed time and space to revive the Black Wolf Venerable, the news that Lu Qingshan had killed the Black Wolf Venerable of the Demon Clan was also spreading rapidly throughout the vast universe among the Demon Clan, as well as the Mad Blade Venerable, the New Maple Venerable, and others.

In particular, the human races that can use the virtual universe, as well as the many human allies within the Hong Alliance, receive the news very quickly.

It should be understood that becoming a Universe Venerable already qualifies one to lead a race to survive in the universe, and may even qualify one to join a top-tier or even peak power.

Just like in the Hongmeng, there exists a weak race with only one Universe Venerable.

If it is the initial stage of the primordial star, then the fall of a cosmic sovereign is quite common, and even cosmic overlords and cosmic masters may fall.

However, the original star has been closed for a long time now, and news of the fall of the Cosmic Venerable is still rare.

Especially among the most powerful races, it may take millions or even tens of millions of years for a single cosmic venerable to fall.

This is why, upon learning that Venerable Lu Qingshan of the Myriad Realms had killed Venerable Black Wolf of the Demon Clan, the entire human race, and even the entire Hong Alliance, were thrown into a small tremor.

……

In a remote region of the universe, far from human territory, lies the territory of the 'Golden Horn Clan,' one of the ordinary races in the universe.

At the very heart of this territory, a massive landmass with a diameter of trillions of kilometers was built—the sacred ground of the Golden Horn tribe.

Meanwhile, in the holy city within the sacred grounds of the Golden Horn Clan, the leader of the Golden Horn Clan, the cosmic overlord 'Hirodo', was discussing matters with a group of Golden Horn Clan elders.

"Elders!"

Herodo looked at the dozen or so figures around him, and then said, "Thousands of epochs have passed since I built the Holy Monument!"

"Over these thousands of epochs, the geniuses of my Golden Horn Clan have seen their cultivation speed increase significantly compared to the past, thanks to the Holy Stele. There has even been a new Immortal King!"

"This shows that this sacred monument is extremely important to our Golden Horn Clan. I hope it can cultivate more powerful individuals for our Golden Horn Clan in the future!"

Hearing Herodo's words, many elders of the Golden Horn tribe were extremely excited.

The monument built by Herodo was of utmost importance to the entire Goldenhorn tribe.

Even some of them had tried to comprehend the Holy Stele, and some had even made some progress, not to mention those immortals, or even those lesser immortals.

The importance of this sacred monument to the Golden Horn Clan far surpasses that of any elder except Herodo!

But just as these elders of the Golden Horn tribe were excitedly exchanging ideas...

"This... how is this possible?" Clements, an elder of the Golden Horned Clan who had been in charge of handling matters related to the human race, suddenly exclaimed, his face showing disbelief.

Noticing this, Herodo quickly asked, "Clements, what's wrong?"

"leader!"

Upon hearing Hirodo's question, Clements, regaining his senses, quickly replied, "I just received a message from a friend in the Hong Alliance, saying that the Human Race's Myriad Realms Venerable has just killed the Demon Race's Black Wolf Venerable in the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm within the Human Race's territory!"

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

Upon hearing Clements's words, the elders of the Golden Horned Clan all wore expressions of disbelief.

The Venerable Ones of Myriad Realms and the Venerable Ones of Black Wolf are cosmic venerables who have recently made breakthroughs in the human and demon races, respectively. Naturally, they have some information about the two of them.

It should be noted that although the Golden Horn Clan currently has nineteen Universe Venerables, including Herodo, no more than ten of them dare to claim that they can surpass the Black Wolf Venerable in strength.

This means that Lu Qingshan, who has just broken through more than a thousand epochs, already has the strength to kill half of the universe venerables of the Golden Horn Clan!

Faced with this situation, they naturally did not want to believe it.

"Didn't the Venerable One of Myriad Realms just break through not long ago?"

"Yes! I remember when he broke through, Clements even presented a congratulatory gift on behalf of my Golden Horn Clan!"

"How long has it been? How could he possibly have killed the Black Wolf Venerable?"

The elders of the Golden Horn tribe discussed it among themselves.

And just then...

"Don't forget!"

Hirodo quickly said, "The human race is the pinnacle race, and the Venerable of Myriad Realms is the personal disciple of the great human being, the Lord of Ice Peak. Moreover, the Venerable of Myriad Realms also possesses the ability to create clones!"

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Golden Horn Clan around them all sighed in admiration.

Yes!

That's a human race!

Even ordinary King-level Immortals who break through to the Universe Venerable realm receive a great deal of gifts from their race, let alone the Venerable of Myriad Realms, the personal disciple of the Ice Peak Lord!
"The fact that the Venerable of Myriad Realms killed the Black Wolf Venerable of the demon race is definitely something to celebrate!"

Hirodo spoke again, "Clements, you are the one in our Golden Horn Clan who has the best relationship with the Venerable of All Realms. Go now and prepare a gift for the Venerable of All Realms, and then come with me to the human territory to congratulate him!"

Clements was still in shock at this moment.

It should be noted that his strength was only about the same as that of the Black Wolf Venerable of the demon race, but his divine body was much smaller than that of the Black Wolf Venerable!
If Lu Qingshan was able to kill the Black Wolf Venerable, killing him would be even easier.

"That little brat who only broke through to the advanced level of Marquis under my guidance back then, can now kill me so easily?"

Even after receiving an email from a friend, Clements found it hard to believe.

But now that Herodo had spoken, even though he was still in shock, he had to quickly reply, "Yes, Chief!"

……

In the primordial universe, within the city of chaos.

"Come see me quickly!"

"Come see me quickly!"

A majestic voice echoed in the ears of hundreds of cosmic-level geniuses, instantly causing them all to stop cultivating.

Then...

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Within the vast and boundless Chaos City, where air currents swirled, figures soared into the sky one after another.

More than 800 figures flew in one direction.

In the direction these figures were heading, a majestic crimson palace floated in the void. In front of the palace stood a figure wearing ancient crimson armor, exuding a terrifying aura. This was none other than the Monumental Venerable from the Virtual Universe Company lineage.

Meanwhile, the figures gathering in the direction of the Monument Venerable were the cosmic-level geniuses who had broken into the top 1,000 in the entire universe in the peak power battle he had just presided over, and then joined the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Greetings, Venerable One!" The geniuses, now fully assembled, bowed respectfully to Venerable One of the Monument.

"Humph!"

The Venerable Monument let out a low snort, which struck the minds of every genius like a heavy hammer: "Your class is simply the worst class I've taught in over ten million years!"

“In a safe place like Chaos City, nearly 20% of you have died, which is even less than those little guys at the Stellar level!”

silence!

The group of geniuses stood respectfully before the Venerable Monument, not daring to utter a single rebuttal.

"You will be leaving Chaos City in ten days."

The Venerable Monument quickly said, "You will face even greater danger then. It probably won't be long before you have very few people left!"

"Hmph! Now everyone should hurry up and start cultivating!"

"Those who want to challenge the Heavenly Bridge should go challenge the Heavenly Bridge, and those who want to comprehend the Chaos Stele should comprehend the Chaos Stele! After you leave Chaos City this time, who knows how long it will be before you can come back!"

"Clarissa, stay here. Everyone else, go!"

Clarissa is currently ranked number one in the entire universe in this year's peak power battle. She has already passed the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven, which shows great potential. Therefore, Venerable Monument is willing to give her some guidance.

But at that moment, Venerable Monument suddenly received an important email.

"An email from my senior brother? Could it be something important?"

Thinking of this, Venerable Monument disregarded his instructions to Clarissa and quickly opened the email he had just received.

“Junior Brother Beihai, Lu Qingshan, the Venerable of Myriad Realms from my Virtual Universe Company lineage, has just killed the Black Wolf Venerable from the demon race in the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm!”

Upon seeing the message he had just received, Venerable Beihai was completely stunned.

This, how is this possible?

If Lu Qingshan is slightly stronger than him now, the Monument Venerable can accept it. Even if Lu Qingshan easily crushed a Universe Venerable, he can barely understand it.

What does it mean to kill that Black Wolf Venerable?
Even among the many mid-level Universe Venerables of the human race, the vast majority would not be able to kill that Black Wolf Venerable!
"Could it be that the Venerable One of the Myriad Realms is already so much stronger than me?"

The Monument Venerable still couldn't believe that Lu Qingshan, whose talent wasn't as strong as his and who broke through to the Universe Venerable realm a little later, could achieve such a feat.

However, with a strong will, he quickly adjusted his state and began to think carefully.

What have I been doing all these years?

"After successfully breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm and realizing the difficulty of comprehending the fundamental laws of time, I became much lax in my cultivation!"

The Monument Venerable thought to himself, "In recent years, I have focused my main efforts on cultivating these geniuses, hoping that my subordinates can have as many Marquis Immortals or even King Immortals as other Universe Venerables!"

"I actually let these trivial matters delay my cultivation. How incredibly foolish of me!"

"If I had focused all my attention on cultivation, I probably would have already created the fourth combat technique with the complete spatial origin law!"

Upon seeing the news that Lu Qingshan had killed the Black Wolf Venerable, the Monument Venerable couldn't help but feel an endless longing rising in his heart.

If you can't see it, fine; you'll just think it's unrealistic.

However, Lu Qingshan has been cultivating for much longer than him, but he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm later than him.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Monument Venerable, Lu Qingshan's talent was somewhat inferior to his.

But now, Lu Qingshan is already able to kill the Black Wolf Venerable, while he hasn't even created the fourth peak secret technique yet.

"I was wrong!"

A smile quickly appeared on Venerable Monument's face: "It was Venerable of Myriad Realms who awakened me. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have wasted a lot of time!"

"As for now, I should continue to cultivate diligently! I believe that as long as I continue to cultivate diligently, I will definitely be able to catch up with, or even surpass, the Venerable of Myriad Realms in the future!"

With that in mind, Venerable Monument merely gave Clarissa a few pointers before letting her leave.

He no longer cared much about even the task of getting these geniuses to leave the initial universe, and directly handed these trivial matters over to his subordinates.

As for Venerable Beihai himself, he has already decided to begin his secluded cultivation.
