Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 278 Current Status Within the Plan Group
On the other side, after leaving his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peaks, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his residence on Purple Thorn Island to familiarize himself with the high-grade treasure armor he had just obtained from the treasure trove.

"Master Ice Peak said that the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is extremely superior among high-grade treasure armors?"

Inside the mansion's living room, Lu Qingshan quietly gazed at the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor floating in front of him, a hint of joy appearing on his face: "In that case, the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is worth at least more than twenty Treasure Points!"

"This one high-grade treasure armor alone is enough to make my entire fortune surpass that of most universe overlords!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that many of the cosmic overlords Lu Qingshan encountered possessed high-grade treasure armor protecting them, such as Venerable Zifeng, Venerable Yaoguang, Palace Master Tianshi, Venerable Guiyi, and even Venerable Suojin, who had once killed him in the ancient mysterious realm...

In reality, most cosmic overlords' entire fortune consists of just one ordinary supreme weapon or one ordinary supreme armor.

Only by becoming stronger, such as by creating the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord;
Or perhaps it has accumulated countless years without much decline;

Or perhaps it's a cosmic overlord with a powerful background...

Only such powerful individuals can possess even more precious treasures, such as high-grade supreme weapons, high-grade supreme armor, as well as ordinary domain-type, palace-type, and soul-type supreme treasures, etc.

The Nine Dragons Overlord Armor that Lu Qingshan has obtained is considered a relatively high-grade treasure armor. If it were contributed to the human race's treasury, it might be enough to exchange for a set of high-grade treasure weapons and high-grade treasure armor.

"The high-grade treasure armor is indeed very precious, but fully activating its triple form is quite difficult!"

After trying to activate the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't have to put in much effort to fully activate the second form of the top-tier treasure armor 'Thunder Dragon Roaring Armor' that I exchanged for in the treasure vault before!"

"But with this Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, I can only activate the first level right now. Activating the second level won't be too difficult, even after spending several years. But activating the third level will probably require a lot of effort!"

"Unless my understanding of the laws can break through again, and I can comprehend one of the three major branches of the fundamental laws of space, or directly comprehend the fifth level of the lightning-time fusion law, it will probably be difficult to activate the third level of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor in a short period of time!"

It should be understood that every supreme treasure has complex law patterns on it. There are generally two ways to use these law patterns to activate the higher form of these supreme treasures.

The first method is that if one has a high level of understanding of the laws, one can activate the system directly not long after successfully recognizing the master.
The second method is to gradually familiarize oneself with and study the laws and runes on these treasures over a long period of time. As long as one's understanding of the laws is not too far off, it is possible to activate a higher form of the treasure through long-term study.

Although Lu Qingshan's current strength is comparable to that of a high-level universe venerable, his realm is almost the same as that of a common low-level universe venerable. Therefore, activating the third form of a high-level treasure armor will definitely be quite troublesome.

"It seems I still can't use the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor right now!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is only activated to the second level, once it encounters those super strong people, even if the opponent's attack power does not reach the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor's maximum withstand limit, the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor can only reduce the attack power to one-thousandth of the original."

"This is inferior not only to Luo Feng's Calamity Armor in the original story, but even to an ordinary Supreme Treasure Armor activated at its third level!"

Among armor-type treasures and supreme treasures, ordinary treasures generally only have one form, which can reduce the attack power to one percent of the original.

The top-tier treasure has two forms. The first form can reduce the attack power to one percent of the original, and the second form can reduce the attack power to one-thousandth of the original.

As for ordinary treasures, high-level treasures, and top-level treasures, they generally only have three forms. The reduction in attack power is mostly similar to that of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor that Lu Qingshan just obtained, except that the upper limit of the damage is different.

Ordinary treasure armor is generally sufficient to support battles at the level of a cosmic overlord, unless the cosmic overlord wields a high-level treasure weapon, such as the Qixue Palace Master in the original work, and only then can the ordinary treasure armor reach its limit when it unleashes its full power.

As for high-grade supreme treasure armor, only beings at the level of top cosmic overlords have the opportunity to reach its limit, such as the strongest World Tree in the original work, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, and Luo Feng, who created the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe but is still in the immortal stage, etc...

Only supreme treasures can potentially reduce the power of attacks they receive to one ten-thousandth of their original strength after activating their third form, such as the Calamity Armor and the Mad Demon God-Slaying Armor obtained by Luo Feng in the original work...

"However, I am currently planning to spend some time in seclusion researching the Path of the Beast God, so there is no need for me to rush out for adventures and training. Therefore, I will not need this Nine Dragons Overlord Armor!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Once I fully comprehend the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, my strength will probably increase significantly. At that time, I might be able to withstand attacks from top-tier universe overlords!"

After studying the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, Lu Qingshan decided to go into seclusion to cultivate.

But just then, Ye Chen suddenly contacted him in the chat group.

Upon receiving the message, Lu Qingshan's consciousness quickly connected to the multiverse chat group.

[Ye Chen: @Lu Qingshan, group owner, are you there? I need your help with something!]

At this moment, everyone in the group was chatting idly, but after seeing Ye Chen's distress message, they all fell silent.

[Lu Qingshan: @Ye Chen, are you in some kind of trouble?]

Upon seeing Ye Chen's message for help, Lu Qingshan felt no worry whatsoever.

With his current strength, it's hard to say who would be stronger or weaker compared to the top sword gods and demon gods in the world of Sword Dao Supremacy.

Not to mention that Ye Chen hasn't even left the True Spirit Continent yet. He only needs to spare a portion of his divine power to suppress everything.

[Ye Chen: That's right, group owner!]

[Ye Chen: The demon race is now preparing to invade the True Spirit Continent. Although my current strength is much greater than it was at the same time in the original story, and I'm confident I can face the leaders of those demon armies, it will still be very difficult for me to annihilate the entire demon army in a short period of time!]

[Ye Chen: Moreover, this invasion by the Demon Clan is also a rare opportunity for the strong individuals of our True Spirit Continent to hone their skills!]

[Ye Chen: So I'd like to ask the group leader to come and provide support, to rescue our True Spirit Continent's experts when they encounter danger, and then, after we completely annihilate the Demon Army, to help deal with the enemies on the deadly road. This would give our True Spirit Continent's Life and Death Realm Kings a chance to leave the True Spirit Continent, allowing them not only to extend their lifespan but also to travel to other life-bearing planets!]

[Ye Chen: I know this will be a lot of trouble for you, Group Owner, so I'm willing to use my 150,000 points as payment to ask for your help!]

After reading Ye Chen's words, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

As the protagonist of the world of "Sword Dao Supreme", Ye Chen's character is absolutely impeccable.

In the world of "Sword Dao Supreme", the realms are divided into Qi Refining Realm, True Essence Condensation Realm, Yuan Embracing Realm, Star Extreme Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, and Life and Death Realm.

Among them, martial artists in the Qi Refining Realm, True Essence Condensation Realm, and Embracing Yuan Realm are relatively ordinary. Even if they cultivate to the peak of the Embracing Yuan Realm, their lifespan will not increase significantly.

A Star Realm warrior can live for about two hundred years, while a Spirit Sea Realm warrior is already considered a powerful figure and can live for several hundred years.

As for those in the Life and Death Realm, they are known as kings, and their lifespan can reach a thousand years. This is only because the rules of the True Spirit Continent have been damaged.

In fact, on other life-bearing planets in the universe, even the weakest King of Life and Death can survive for 100,000 years if they do not perish due to various accidents.

The Realm of Life and Death is divided into nine levels, each with a significant difference in strength, and lifespan also changes noticeably in the later stages.

The first five levels of the Life and Death Realm are relatively ordinary. At the sixth level, one can become a king; at the seventh level, an emperor; at the eighth level, a sovereign; and at the ninth level, a supreme being!
The later the stage, the greater the gap in strength between each level, and the more difficult it becomes to break through.

In fact, with Ye Chen's current strength, he already has the opportunity to deal with the demon army on his own, or even fight his way out to other life-bearing planets.

After all, in the original story, he did this even without joining the multiverse chat group.

Having been a member of the chat group for many years, Ye Chen now fully understands just how valuable the points within the chat group are.

Some selfish, powerful individuals would never spend so many points just to save powerful individuals who have little to do with them.

But now, Ye Chen spent 150,000 points to invite Lu Qingshan to the world of "Sword Dao Supreme," simply for the sake of the others on the True Spirit Continent. Firstly, to save the lives of other powerful figures on the True Spirit Continent; secondly, to ask Lu Qingshan to help clear the dead end, allowing the others on the True Spirit Continent to travel to other life-bearing planets.

After all, although Ye Chen's current strength is somewhat stronger than at the same time in the original story, it is still insufficient to kill those powerful demons who guard the dead ends but whose strength is not suppressed at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up in the chat group.

[Lu Qingshan: @Ye Chen, this is simple. Just let me know when you're ready!]

A world where swordsmanship reigns supreme, the True Spirit Continent.

At this moment, the great calamity of the demon race is about to erupt. Although Ye Chen already has the strength to deal with the great calamity of the demon race, he does not want to see other powerful figures on the True Spirit Continent suffer heavy casualties.

Upon receiving Lu Qingshan's affirmative reply, the pressure in his heart instantly lessened considerably.

[Ye Chen: Thank you so much for your help, group owner! I am extremely grateful!]

[System notification: Ye Chen transferred 150000 points to Lu Qingshan.]

Seeing that Ye Chen and Lu Qingshan had reached an agreement, the other people in the chat group quickly spoke up as well.

[Pang Bo: @Ye Chen, Brother Ye Chen, I'd like to join in the fun too, is that alright?]

[Xiao Yan: I want to go too! I've just entered the Dou Sheng realm, and I want to see if Dou Sheng are stronger, or if those Demon Kings in the Life and Death Realm are stronger!]

[Meng Huan: If I could, I'd like to join in the fun!]

[Pang Bo: @Meng Huan, don't join in the fun. Besides the group owner, you're the strongest in the group. If you went, you could probably wipe out all those demons by yourself!]

[Meng Huan: I don't need to do anything!]

Pang Bo: That works too!

[Ye Chen: Everyone is welcome to come, but you'll have to pay for the points you need for your crossover!]

[Pang Bo: Don't worry!]

Xiao Yan: No problem!

The world of Swallowed Star, Lu Qingshan's divine realm.

Seeing the 150,000 points Ye Chen sent him, Lu Qingshan was naturally quite happy.

It should be noted that after breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, each time he activated the Enlightenment Blessing function, it required 240,000 points.

In addition, due to the difficulty in obtaining points within the chat group and the issue of time flow in various worlds, Lu Qingshan has only activated the Enlightenment Enhancement function a few times in the past 100,000 epochs.

Even so, it was because the chat group had gained Li Yunlong and Gao Yao, two members who, like Cao Cao and Yue Buqun, would often exchange points with him for resources.

Lu Qingshan was waiting for enough points to use the Enlightenment Enhancement function to receive the third level of the Beast God Path in the Inheritance Land. Now that he has these 150,000 points, he has finally accumulated another opportunity to activate the Enlightenment Enhancement function.

"With these points, I can go to the Land of Inheritance to receive the inheritance!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I think I can fully comprehend the third level of the Beast God's Path in one go. Then I can take advantage of this favorable situation to plan for the Glory Points!"

For Lu Qingshan, although comprehending the Path of the Beast God was easier than comprehending the Laws of Space, there were still several obstacles that limited his progress on the Path of the Beast God.

One issue is his own comprehension, which is not difficult to resolve with the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group;

Secondly, the points required to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group can be accumulated over time.
The third is the honor points required to receive the inheritance.

Perhaps when his understanding of the Path of the Beast God is at a low level, receiving the Beast God's inheritance once, with the blessing of enlightenment, would be enough for him to fully comprehend the current level of the Path of the Beast God.

However, as his mastery of the Path of the Beast God increases, it will be more difficult to replicate such an experience. At that time, Lu Qingshan will inevitably need some Glory Points to continue receiving the inheritance.

However, obtaining Glory Points is definitely the most difficult of these obstacles.

Just like his disciple Streich, who became the inheritor of the Beast God more than 100,000 epochs ago, he has not yet accumulated enough 100 Glory Points to receive a new Beast God inheritance.

In this situation, Lu Qingshan would naturally need certain methods to obtain a large number of Glory Points.

He already had some plans in mind, and the points Ye Chen sent were just the right amount.

[System notification: Lu Qingshan has collected Ye Chen's points.]

After receiving Ye Chen's points, Lu Qingshan naturally and quickly sent a portion of his divine power to the Sword Dao Supreme World.

However, the divine power he split off this time was not much, only equivalent to the divine power of a peak-level King-level expert.

In fact, if it were merely to carve through the dead end, the power of an ordinary immortal level, along with the many secret techniques he possessed, would probably be sufficient.

However, on this trip, he also needs to act as a caretaker, ensuring that the powerful figures on the True Spirit Continent can hone their skills without dying in battle. Naturally, he needs to carry more power and perform more precise operations at the same time.

At the same time, Pang Bo, Xiao Yan, Meng Huan, Cao Cao, and Yue Buqun in the chat group also spent a sum of points to go to the Sword Dao Supreme World for training.

As for Han Li, Gao Yao, Tianmeng Bingcan, and the others, they did not go to join in the fun; they just wanted to watch through the live stream.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to join in the fun, but cross-dimensional teleportation required him to pay points, which he naturally didn't want to waste, so he didn't go.

After Lu Qingshan and his group were teleported across realms, the great calamity of the demon race in the original storyline of the Sword Dao Supreme world quickly broke out.

However, with Lu Qingshan's overwhelming power protecting the True Spirit Continent, there were naturally no surprises.

In this battle, Pang Bo and his companions displayed strength far greater than that shown in the original novel at the same time.

The strongest among them is naturally Meng Huan. He has now reached the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm. Although he is not as good as the Star Destroyer Venerable who was killed by Lu Qingshan, he is still quite good.

Secondly, there is Xiao Yan, who has already broken through to the Dou Sheng realm. His Buddha Fury Lotus not only caused great damage to the demon army, but also brought great shock to the powerful people of the True Spirit Continent.
As for Pang Bo, he has already cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Realm, and it will probably not be long before he can break through to the Immortal Platform.

Yue Buqun and Cao Cao's strength improvement is still a bit slower, but now they are equivalent to the late-stage Star Realm martial artists in the Sword Dao Supreme world. If placed in worlds like The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they would naturally be considered to be attacking from a lower dimension!
After Ye Chen and his group wiped out the entire demon army, those on the True Spirit Continent who had thought they were doomed by the demon powerhouses regained consciousness under Lu Qingshan's guidance.

Such an unbelievable thing happening was naturally unimaginable to them.

However, Ye Chen already possessed overwhelming power on the True Spirit Continent, so there was no need to explain in too much detail to them.

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan casually killed a group of powerful demons guarding outside the True Spirit Continent, and then held a small banquet with Ye Chen, Pang Bo and others on the True Spirit Continent before stepping into the interdimensional teleportation channel in the chat group and returning to the Swallowed Star World.
