Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 275 Amazing Gains, Harsh Conditions

Within the area covered by this colorful aurora lake, everything within the entire twenty-first peak was completely sealed off.

The reason why the Five-Colored Aurora Lake does this is naturally to keep it a secret!
It is guaranteed that once the inheritor who has obtained the conditions to open the treasure obtains it, no one other than the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will know about this newly discovered treasure.

Otherwise, if others find out that the inheritor has obtained the treasure, it will surely arouse their greed.

However, the treasures on the 108 mountain peaks are incredibly precious, each one comparable to a priceless treasure. Even if the information about the treasures is kept secret, it will surely arouse the greed of countless people.

If the treasure is obtained by an extremely powerful individual, that's fine. But if the powerful individual who obtains the treasure isn't very strong, then they will definitely be targeted.

And so, the mountain continued to tremble.

Lu Qingshan stood alone atop the twenty-first mountain peak, watching a giant rock, about five hundred meters high, slowly rise in front of him and finally float directly in front of him.

"I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden in this mountain?"

Lu Qingshan was quite surprised that he was able to unlock the treasure on the twenty-first mountain peak, but at this moment, all he felt was anticipation.

Just after the boulder hovered in front of Lu Qingshan, an ancient black ring slowly flew out from a dark cave ahead and then hovered directly in front of Lu Qingshan.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan immediately reached out and took the ancient black ring, then imprinted his divine power mark onto it.

The materials used in this black world ring are extremely unusual; it's impossible to tell what they are made of.

However, Lu Qingshan could sense that this world ring was quite precious. If it wasn't deliberately attacked, even a battle at the level of a universe master wouldn't easily destroy it.

The World Ring is quite special; if it's destroyed from the inside, it's extremely simple and easy to do.
As for external destruction, that depends on the materials used to create the World Ring. The more precious the materials, the more difficult it is to destroy.

After imprinting the divine power onto the world ring, Lu Qingshan immediately released a wisp of divine power to permeate it.

Within the world ring, a vast world stretched out before them, surrounded by nothingness, with only a boundless continent at its center.

At the very center of this vast continent, a gleaming purple-gold armor floats in the air.

This purple-gold armor is over a thousand meters tall and looks extremely ancient. The entire armor is covered with various mysterious laws and runes, and it constantly emits endless light and terrifying pressure.

"A set of armor?"

Looking at the ancient purple-gold armor in front of him, Lu Qingshan immediately released a wisp of divine power to penetrate it, and then quickly imprinted his spiritual mark on the ancient purple-gold armor.

"receive!"

Lu Qingshan reached out, and the huge purple-gold armor quickly shrank to about the same size as him before landing in front of him.

At the same time, a flood of information rushed into Lu Qingshan's mind, quickly making him very excited.

This treasured armor, named the 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor', has three forms.

Any attack power within the range of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor can be reduced to one percent of its original power in the first stage, one-thousandth in the second stage, and one-ten-thousandth in the third stage.

However, if the power of the attack exceeds the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor's tolerance range, the weakening effect of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor will decrease significantly. If the attack power is too strong, it may not even be able to weaken the armor.

However, this Nine Dragons Overlord Armor has already entered the level of a high-grade treasure. To reach the limit of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, one would probably need at least the strength of a top-tier universe overlord.

……

"It's...it's actually a high-grade treasure armor!"

Lu Qingshan's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the ancient purple-gold armor before him with immense joy.

The universe is full of treasures, but they can generally be divided into two categories: precious treasures and supreme treasures.

The treasures that Lu Qingshan used before, whether it was the cheapest Purple Thunder Skywing Sword or the more precious Lightning Escape Ship, were all just heavy treasures, and most of them were even ordinary heavy treasures that were of relatively poor quality.

As for supreme treasures, they are generally used by beings at the level of cosmic overlords or even cosmic masters.

The treasures are divided into several levels from low to high: common, high-grade, top-grade, and peak.

Among these treasures, even the most ordinary one is incredibly precious.

Even the most powerful beings in the universe would be tempted by it and even fight to the death over it, let alone a high-level treasure.

Although armor is considered relatively low in value among many treasures, only slightly more valuable than ordinary weapons, once it reaches the level of a high-grade treasure, it becomes incredibly precious.

Previously, Lu Qingshan had searched for information about high-grade treasure armor in the human race's treasure vault, but even the cheapest one required twelve treasure points to exchange for.

Lu Qingshan's entire fortune now consists of only three supreme treasure points and some major treasure points.

Even so, it was only because he became a disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak that he received the Four Treasure Points!

If it were an ordinary Universe Venerable, or even a high-level Universe Venerable who has cultivated for countless years, all their wealth combined would probably amount to less than one Treasure Point.

Like the other cosmic venerables who had worked with Lu Qingshan before, most of them did not have a net worth exceeding one Treasure Point.

Even most cosmic overlords, with all their wealth combined, probably only have four or five Treasure Points.

One ordinary treasure weapon costs one or two treasure points; one ordinary treasure armor costs three or four treasure points.

Although the cosmic overlords that Lu Qingshan knew all had extremely rich fortunes, they were all rather special among them.

The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace possesses a special life clone with an extremely high level of life genes. He is likely to become a top cosmic overlord in the future, and naturally, he has received great attention from the human race. He cannot be regarded as an ordinary example.
As for Venerable Zifeng, who had previously helped Lu Qingshan exchange for the soul-type treasure 'Meteor Tear', and Venerable Suojin, who had previously killed Lu Qingshan in the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm, they were just exceptionally lucky individuals.

Among them, Venerable Zifeng was quite lucky and obtained a component of a top-tier treasure that aided flight. Later, he was also fortunate enough to encounter the remaining components, but this was separated by the opening of the Primal Star twice.

Moreover, the process by which Venerable Zifeng obtained this component was extremely dangerous. He not only encountered other cosmic venerables, but even Emperor Yan shamelessly attacked his own kind for such a treasure.
As for Venerable Lock Gold, it was because of the huge gains he made during an adventure on the Primordial Star that he was able to exchange for domain-type treasures, palace-type treasures, and so on.

Their combined wealth, even compared to that of the Lord of the Universe and the top cosmic overlords, already represents one of the most substantial groups.

If it is an ordinary cosmic overlord, he will generally only have one ordinary supreme treasure weapon and one ordinary supreme treasure armor, just like Venerable Peifeng who appeared in the original work.
A cosmic overlord with even greater wealth might exchange for a high-level treasure weapon to enhance their attack power, or they might exchange for top-tier treasures such as domain-type treasures, palace-type treasures, or soul-type treasures to improve their overall strength. This is already quite impressive among cosmic overlords, just like the Qixue Palace Master in the original work.

If one has a larger fortune, one would naturally want to exchange it for high-grade treasure armor to further enhance one's ability to survive in battle. Just like Lu Qingshan's senior brother, Venerable Yaoguang, he is currently at this level. This is the wealth he has accumulated as a disciple of the Ice Peak Master and after a long period of cultivation.

After that, naturally, one would be equipped with ordinary supreme treasures of the domain, palace, and soul types. Venerable Zifeng and Venerable Suojin were at this level, which was already the limit that many universe overlords could achieve. Even many top universe overlords and universe lords of powerful races with little background used treasures of this level.

In terms of survival ability alone, a high-grade treasure armor is definitely not as good as an ordinary palace-type treasure.

However, firstly, high-grade treasure armor is cheaper than ordinary palace-type treasures;
Secondly, high-grade treasure armor allows its users to fight and seize treasures; while ordinary palace-type treasures can only be used to hide inside and save one's life!

Therefore, when given the choice, most cosmic overlords would still prefer to exchange for a high-grade supreme treasure armor first. This was especially true for Lu Qingshan at this moment.

"With my current strength, a high-grade treasure armor is even more suitable for me than a palace-type treasure!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "For example, when I encountered that Lock Gold Venerable before, if I had been wearing a high-grade treasure armor, he would have absolutely no chance of annihilating all the divine power of my main battle avatar in one blow."

"In this way, I will have the opportunity to rely on the divine power provided by the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea to keep at it!"

It should be noted that after Lu Qingshan was killed by the Venerable Lock Gold, he had considered using his wealth to exchange for an ordinary treasure armor to improve his ability to survive.

However, there is a clear difference between ordinary and high-grade treasure armor. If one encounters a powerful figure like the Lock Gold Venerable who possesses a high-grade treasure weapon and has created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord, the attack power that ordinary treasure armor can weaken is relatively limited. Therefore, Lu Qingshan ultimately gave up on this idea.

But now, with a high-grade treasure armor and the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea clone, Lu Qingshan is somewhat like Luo Feng in the original work who just obtained the Calamity Armor.

Before Luo Feng created the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, he was able to obtain the Sword River Luo component on the Primordial Star and wear down a universe overlord in the small universe of the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor. This was all thanks to the incomparably precious supreme treasure armor, the Calamity Armor!
If Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone had only been wearing ordinary treasure armor or even top-tier heavy treasure armor at the time, then even with his enormous divine body, he would not have been able to stop those cosmic overlords who possessed high-level treasure weapons.

However, the combination of the Golden Horned Beast's enormous divine body and the Tribulation Armor, a super treasure, made Luo Feng, who was only an Immortal with the strength of a High-Level Venerable at the time, an extremely troublesome existence!

"Although this Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is far inferior to the Calamity Armor that the Mountain-Sitting Guest meticulously crafted for Luo Feng, the leader of the Earth lineage, in the original work, it should be sufficient for my current needs!"

Looking at the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor before him, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "With this high-grade treasure armor protecting me, even a top-tier cosmic overlord like Venerable Lock Gold would probably be unable to do anything to me!"

"If I use my wealth to exchange for a suitable supreme weapon, then even if my strength cannot compare to the overlord of the universe, I should still be considered one of the top among the high-level universe venerables!"

"It seems that the Ancestral God Sect really made the right decision to come this time, allowing me to obtain such a precious treasure so quickly!"

call out!
Just then, a stream of light, shrunk to its smallest size, flew toward Lu Qingshan and then rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The flowing light contained a simple message, a message left by the one who placed the treasure to the inheritor who would receive it in the future.

"I am the Thunder Beast God. Now, my Ancestral God Sect, following the mandate of the laws governing the universe, has created this treasure trove. I'll also join in the fun and put some unused treasures inside for future inheritors!"

This voice, seemingly piercing through time and space, resounded in Lu Qingshan's mind.

It was as if an unparalleled powerhouse had appeared directly in front of Lu Qingshan, displaying the demeanor of a super strong person.

"This Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is a precious treasure that I obtained by chance during my Universe Venerable stage. Even after I comprehended the Law of Thunder-Time Fusion and entered the Universe Lord realm, it still accompanied me for a long time!"

"Later, the Heavenly Thunder Beast God perished, and I chose to inherit the throne, becoming the new Thunder Beast God. I received the innate secret techniques bestowed by the original will of the primordial universe, as well as many treasures within the Ancestral God Sect. Naturally, I no longer need this Nine Dragons Overlord Armor!"

"However, to obtain the treasure, you must also meet the conditions I have set!"

"Before I inherited the position of Thunder Beast God, I had already received a secret innate technique bestowed upon me by the primordial will of the universe. When I inherited the position of Thunder Beast God, I received another such gift. I can definitely be considered a favorite of the primordial will of the universe!"

"Inheritor, if you can receive two gifts from the original will of the primordial universe, you will be able to unlock this treasure and obtain the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor!"

"Hahaha, if someone can truly receive a gift from the primordial will of the universe, then they are definitely a favorite of the primordial will of the universe. It is quite a story that you were able to obtain this treasure that I left behind!"

After reading this simple message, Lu Qingshan immediately learned about the person who left the treasure and the conditions for opening it.

"Received two gifts from the original will of the primordial universe?"

Upon seeing this special condition, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, even receiving a gift from the original will of the primordial universe is an extremely difficult thing.

Just like Luo Feng in the original novel, he only received the gift of the original will of the universe after he relied on the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" to raise his life gene level to a perfect level.

Later, whether he created the ultimate secret technique during his realm master stage or raised the life gene level of his other clones to the perfect level, he did not receive any more talent secret techniques.

Although it is incredibly powerful that the so-called Thunder Beast God was able to receive two gifts from the original will of the primordial universe, one of them was a gift he received when he inherited the position of Beast God, so it cannot be considered by ordinary standards.

Even a genius like Luo Feng only received a gift from the original will of the primordial universe;

Even when Luo Feng first clashed with the Zerg Lord Banff and displayed his innate secret technique 'I Am the Universe' and the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe that he created himself, those alien powerhouses all believed that at least one of the secret techniques was his own creation, and that it was impossible for them all to be bestowed by the original will of the universe.

Therefore, it is clear that obtaining two gifts from the original will of the primordial universe is an extremely incredible thing, something that even many of the strongest beings in the universe find impossible.

If things continue as they are, it's likely that even by the end of this cycle, no one will be able to achieve this condition.

"But who told me to cheat?"

After thinking about his second clone and the endless divine sea clone, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled.

He obtained these two avatars entirely because of the bestowal of the original will of the primordial universe.

However, this was not because he gained the favor of the original will of the primordial universe, but because the original will of the primordial universe corrected a bug due to his interdimensional teleportation!

However, only Lu Qingshan and the original will of the primordial universe knew about this matter; naturally, no one else could possibly know it.

The original will of the primordial universe acts solely based on the operation of the supreme laws, without any personal preferences, and naturally would not inform the Ancestral God Sect about the bug that occurred at Lu Qingshan's place.

Therefore, after confirming that Lu Qingshan had met the conditions for opening this treasure, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake naturally opened the treasure, allowing the high-grade treasure armor 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor' to reappear!

It's fair to say that if Lu Qingshan hadn't joined the All-Heavens Chat Group, it would have been impossible to trigger the conditions for opening the treasure.

However, if he hadn't joined the All-Heavens Chat Group, he would most likely still be an ordinary immortal, and naturally wouldn't be able to come to this Ancestral God Sect.

After a moment, Lu Qingshan finally exclaimed, "Thank you, Thunder Beast God!"

With this high-grade treasure armor, his cultivation path will definitely be much easier from now on.

　I definitely overestimated myself today.

　　I slept for a long time this morning, then took a nap until after 4 pm, and then dealt with some trivial matters, which delayed me until now.

　　Regarding my previous leave, you can check the book club's online community. I have indeed been quite tired these past few days, although it was my own fault...

　　In addition, I have read many readers' comments and corrected what needed to be corrected, such as the scene where Luo Tianwang and others kneel and bow to the protagonist, as well as other minor errors.

　　As for the protagonist's inability to expand his Endless Divine Sea clone, you can refer to Luo Feng's Nether Sea clone. His expansion always required the Nether Sea clone to transform into a sea to expand its upper limit. Now that his divine body has split, the upper limit cannot be expanded, so naturally it cannot continue to grow larger.

　　As for updates, if I were in Hengshui, I would definitely stay up all night to finish the next chapter, but I'm at my hometown now, and my dad is quite concerned about my health. If I don't turn off the lights before midnight, I'll definitely get scolded, so there will only be one update today.

　　I'll write a little more and post it all together tomorrow.
