Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 286 Opening Up and Occupation
Rumble!
The terrifying shockwave swept in all directions in an instant, even shattering the already cracked Misty Island into numerous fragments of the continent.

Fortunately, the most precious hallucinogenic fruit tree on Misty Island had been protected by Venerable Purple Wind in advance, so it did not suffer any damage.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan and his group joined forces to defend themselves. In addition, the leader was Venerable Yaoguang and many other cosmic overlords, so they were able to completely withstand the power generated by Venerable Chengtian's self-destruction.

Even the losses suffered by each of them were not significant; the most significant loss was less than one percent of their divine bodies.

In the endless starry sky, the shattered Misty Island is flying in all directions.

With a thought, Venerable Zifeng quickly brought the many treasures left behind by Venerable Chengtian after his fall into his hands under the control of his domain-type supreme treasure.

The treasures on the Orange Heaven Venerable were very simple: only an orange-colored supreme armor and a light blue supreme divine sword. As for other treasures, they were negligible.

"Hahaha!"

The Radiant Venerable, standing to the side, quickly laughed and said, "I never expected that a cosmic overlord like the Orange Heaven Venerable would fall at our hands!"

"Fortunately, this is a joint action by our four top clans, and the forces we sent are overwhelming! In a one-on-one situation, we could at most suppress this Orange Heaven Venerable, and he could also ask the Black Pepper Clan or even other powerful members of the Liulan Alliance for help!"

It's important to understand that any cosmic overlord is already qualified to lead their race to occupy a territory and thrive in the primordial universe, like Herodo, the leader of the Golden Horned Clan, and so on...

Every cosmic overlord possesses astonishing abilities, making it naturally difficult for them to perish while traversing the universe.

First, if the cosmic overlord sees that things are not going well, it can run away;

Even if you can't escape for various reasons, you can still try to hold on for a while longer and then ask some clansmen, friends, or allies for help!

Just like in this battle, if only one or two universe overlords attacked Orange Heaven Venerable, he could definitely hold out for a long time, and then other powerful figures might come to his rescue!
However, this time the opening of the extraterritorial battlefield is a joint action among the four top races, so it is unlikely that any other powerful figures would dare to come to the rescue of Venerable Orange Sky.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan and his group killed Orange Heaven Venerable very quickly. Even if someone dared to come to their rescue, they would not be able to do so in time.

"Yes!"

The disciple of Lord Youhou, Venerable Beiyue, quickly said with a smile, "I have never killed a cosmic overlord in all my years of cultivation. I never expected to have such an opportunity today!"

The other cosmic venerables around him sighed inwardly upon hearing Venerable Beiyue's words.

It should be noted that Venerable Orange Sky's strength surpasses that of the vast majority of them!

Among the many human race cosmic lords present, only five cosmic overlords, including Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Zifeng, were stronger than or roughly equal to Venerable Chengtian.

As for the others, if they encounter the Orange Heaven Venerable alone, it will not be an easy task for them to escape from him.

But now, the powerful Orange Heaven Venerable has fallen in their siege.

This is the difference between the elite races and other powerful and ordinary races.

The Black Pepper Clan only has one Universe Lord. Once that Lord falls, the Black Pepper Clan's status will naturally plummet.

As for the elite races like the human race, their universe masters have the strongest beings in the universe as their backers, so the probability of them falling is definitely lower than that of universe masters without such backing. Even if one or two universe masters were to fall, it would not have a devastating impact on the entire human race!

"Everyone!"

After collecting all the treasures left behind by Orange Heaven Venerable and the other Universe Venerables of the Black Pepper Clan after their self-destruction, Purple Wind Venerable quickly said, "According to the rules of my human race, all the spoils from this joint operation will belong to the public, and the race will then bestow corresponding treasure points according to our respective contributions!"

"So I'll keep these treasures for now, and later I'll contribute them to the clan's treasury along with the hallucinogenic fruit tree!"

"no problem!"

"It should!"

After hearing what Venerable Zifeng said, many other cosmic venerables around him spoke up.

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but nod inwardly.

The human race had already joined forces with the other three major races to open up many battlefields outside the realm, so their procedures in this regard were naturally very well-established.

As for the spoils obtained in joint operations, it is perfectly normal for them to be turned over to the public.

After all, this was a joint action by the entire human race, with one team alone containing five cosmic overlords and fifty cosmic venerables.

Furthermore, given the varying strengths and contributions of the individuals, allowing these cosmic venerables to distribute the spoils among themselves might lead to some conflicts.
Therefore, it would be better to pool all the spoils from this operation and then have the virtual universe system distribute the loot according to each person's contribution.

"All right!"

The Radiant Venerable, clad in silver armor, quickly said, "The Orange Heaven Venerable has fallen, and we have obtained the Illusion Fruit Tree. Our team's main mission for this mission can be considered complete!"

"Let's split into five teams. First, set up the war bases according to the coordinates provided by the race, and then start sweeping through the space around the war bases!"

Since the four top clans intend to develop the Black Pepper Secret Realm into the eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield, they naturally need to set up military bases in this extraterrestrial battlefield.

According to the rules of the human race, one hundred AAA-level war bases are set up on each extraterritorial battlefield to serve as the human race's main base on that battlefield.

Each AAA-level war base possesses overall defensive capabilities comparable to a regular flying palace-type treasure. Moreover, in addition to its astonishing defense, the war base also boasts numerous offensive capabilities, making it more valuable than most ordinary flying palace-type treasures.

Even if a cosmic overlord were to go all out, it would be impossible to destroy a AAA-level war base in a short period of time.

During this time, it was enough for the powerful members of the human race stationed on the outer battlefields, and even the cosmic rulers of the human race, to arrive.

In the mission previously assigned to the human race, Lu Qingshan's team not only had to kill Orange Heaven Venerable and the many Black Pepper Clan Universe Venerables around him, but also had to place five military bases in designated areas, and at the same time sweep the surrounding environment of the military bases to clear enough areas for spaceships to travel through space.

After all, the secret realm of the universe is different from the normal cosmic sky. There is far too much dust and debris in it, so it is necessary to clear out areas to make them free of any obstructions so that spaceships can accelerate and travel through the universe.

that's it……

After killing Orange Heaven Venerable, Lu Qingshan's team quickly split into five smaller teams, each with one Universe Overlord and ten Universe Venerables.

Lu Qingshan naturally joined the team of his senior brother, Venerable Yaoguang, and Venerable Liufeng, who had a good relationship with him, also joined the team.

Led by Venerable Yaoguang, Lu Qingshan and his group quickly teleported to an area designated by the human race as a war base.

"out!"

With a thought, Venerable Yaoguang instantly created an enormous military base in front of Lu Qingshan and his group.

This is a war base that is larger than an ordinary star, with a diameter of millions of kilometers, and it looks incredibly ferocious!
The moment it appeared before Lu Qingshan and his group, the massive war base was instantly enveloped in a layer of colorful energy shield.

Above this menacing military base, there are countless mysterious and powerful solidified law runes, mechanical cannons with diameters of hundreds of kilometers, densely packed passageways, countless energy points, and so on...

This is a perfect work that elevates the violent war machine to the level of art.

Even the combined wealth of many ordinary cosmic venerables would probably not be worth as much as this war base.

Many of the human beings present were cosmic venerables who had all ventured into the outer battlefields, but even so, many of them were still extremely shocked when they saw this military base.

After all, the military bases they saw on the battlefield outside the domain were already there, while the military base in front of them was one they had just set up here.

"AAA-level divine base!"

Venerable Radiant Light looked at the military base ahead and couldn't help but sigh, "Even for me, destroying this military base would be extremely troublesome!"

"With this military base serving as our human race's main base on the extraterritorial battlefield, I believe those little guys venturing into this extraterritorial battlefield will be much safer!"

“Yes!” Venerable Liu Feng, standing next to Lu Qingshan, quickly said with a smile, “This is our human race’s main base on this extraterrestrial battlefield, so naturally it must be carefully built!”

"All right!"

After setting up the barracks base at the designated coordinates, Venerable Yaoguang quickly turned to Lu Qingshan and his group and instructed them: "Everyone, you can now set off to sweep those coordinates. I have already sent you the specific coordinates through the virtual universe!"

"Although our human race has designated all the Cosmic Venerables in our assigned areas as key targets, there are bound to be some who slip through the net. Therefore, you must be extra careful when sweeping through the cosmos. If you encounter any danger, call for help immediately, and I will arrive to provide support as soon as possible!"

"Junior Brother Qingshan, Venerable Liufeng, you two stay here and join me as support!"

"no problem!"

"Rest assured, Venerable Radiant Light!"

The surrounding cosmic venerables nodded in agreement, and then teleported away.

Those who remained in place, besides the newly established military base, were Venerable Yaoguang, Lu Qingshan, and Venerable Liufeng.

"Green hills, flowing maple leaves!"

Venerable Yaoguang looked at Lu Qingshan and the other person, then smiled and said, "Let's go in together!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan and Venerable Liufeng quickly followed Venerable Yaoguang to a spacious hall inside the military base.

Inside the luxurious hall, Venerable Radiant Light quickly waved his hand and released eight streams of light.

Eight streams of light landed in different locations in the hall. Upon closer inspection, Lu Qingshan discovered that they were actually eight black bases carved with extremely complex patterns.

Once the eight pedestals were in place, a hazy light quickly shone above them, marking the activation of the divine kingdom teleportation channel.

Unlike the temporary divine kingdom teleportation channels that ordinary powerful beings open under normal circumstances, these eight bases are used to solidify the divine kingdom teleportation channels.

"This is a teleportation channel between the eight major logistics bases of my human race and this military base!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly smiled and explained, "Each of these eight bases contains a divine power token of one of the eight immortal gods. They only need to use these as targets to cast the Divine Kingdom Teleportation spell, and they will soon be able to solidify the Divine Kingdom Teleportation Channel!"

"From now on, the strong within the territory of our human race will be able to travel directly from the logistics base to this military camp through this fixed teleportation channel!"

"So that's it!"

Lu Qingshan suddenly realized, and then thought to himself, "It seems that the reason why the clan's higher-ups decided to wait half a year before starting this operation to open up the extraterritorial battlefield was not only to allow us, the universe venerables, to be better prepared, but also to prepare other things such as military camps, divine kingdom teleportation channels, etc."

Special resources like military bases may have been built long ago, but the allocation of various resources also takes time.

Fortunately, the human race possesses the incredible ability of virtual universes, which certainly makes resource allocation more convenient and faster.

In no time, the fixed teleportation channel to the divine kingdom was completed.

Then...

Eight figures dressed in white robes emerged from eight spatial passages.

"I've met His Holiness!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his two companions, the eight figures quickly bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

Venerable Yaoguang nodded slightly, then asked, "Did you encounter any unusual situations when you passed through the spatial passage?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, there is nothing unusual!" the eight white-robed figures immediately reported.

"it is good!"

Venerable Radiant Light then waved his hand and said, "Since there are no abnormalities, you can return to the logistics base! We can then open the teleportation channel here according to the clan's orders!"

"Yes!"

The eight figures in white robes immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Qingshan and the other two again, and then each turned around and walked back into the spatial passage they had come from.

"Brother!"

After the eight white-robed figures left, Lu Qingshan quickly said with a smile, "Is this eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield going to be activated so soon?"

"Of course!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly smiled and said, "Qingshan, you should know that when opening up the extraterrestrial battlefield, there isn't much that we, the cosmic venerables, need to do!"

"The most important thing is to eliminate the existences at the level of Cosmic Venerables in this secret realm, and to sweep away the various cosmic travel points!"

"Besides that, we don't need to get involved in things like the native inhabitants or some hard-to-find treasures. When the powerful beings from billions of races in the universe enter this extraterrestrial battlefield, they will naturally solve these problems gradually!"

"So that's it!"

After hearing Venerable Yaoguang's explanation, Lu Qingshan immediately understood.

Just like the native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent in the original work, those universe venerables from the four peak races never paid any attention to them.

The targets of the Cosmic Venerables were merely those Cosmic Venerable-level beings among these alien races; as for those who had been granted the title of King or Immortal, they were simply targets they attacked casually.

In the original story, after the fall of the Giant Axe Founder, the human race quickly began preparing for their escape, such as sending many cosmic venerables and immortal gods to the primordial universe, and so on...

It is believed that the Black Pepper Clan made some preparations after the fall of the Black Pepper Lord. However, even with all their preparations, even if another Universe Lord appears in the future, it will not pose much of a threat to the four top clans.

The plight of the native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent is similar to that of the ordinary ethnic groups in this Black Pepper Secret Realm.

Many ordinary races in this Black Pepper Secret Realm, led by Universe Venerables, probably still don't know that the Black Pepper Lord has fallen, and then the powerhouses of the four peak races have already arrived.

"Qingshan!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly looked at Lu Qingshan again and then said, "This time I took over the task of guarding this eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield from the clan. Next, I need to find five more Universe Venerables to cooperate with me. You have an avatar, so why not let one of your avatars guard this place with me? The clan will bestow one treasure point for every ten million epochs, which is quite good!"

"And Venerable Liufeng, if you'd like, you can also join me in guarding this place!"

Before Lu Qingshan could reply to Venerable Yaoguang's words, Venerable Liufeng excitedly answered, "I am willing, thank you for the invitation, Venerable Yaoguang!"

It should be noted that the task of guarding the extraterrestrial battlefield is an excellent job for many cosmic venerables of the human race. Not only is the workload light, but the contributions they receive are also quite considerable.

Gaining one Treasure Point every ten million epochs may not seem like much, but as time goes by and it accumulates, it becomes quite considerable!
However, to take on such a mission to guard the battlefield outside the domain, one must at least possess the strength of a high-level cosmic venerable.

The standard setup for a human race to guard an extraterrestrial battlefield is usually two cosmic overlords, each accompanied by five high-level cosmic venerables.

Venerable Yaoguang invited Lu Qingshan because he and Lu Qingshan had a close relationship.
As for inviting Venerable Liufeng, it's because Venerable Liufeng has just exchanged for a supreme weapon, making him one of the more powerful Venerables in the higher universes.

After careful consideration, Lu Qingshan realized that he wouldn't be very busy for a while, and guarding the extraterritorial battlefield wouldn't interfere with his cultivation, so he quickly agreed.

　I'm busy today, so the second chapter will probably be a little late, maybe around 2 or 3 a.m., but I should be able to post it.
