Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 294 The Mutant Divine Body Increases Rapidly
Looking at the ancient, purple-gold longsword on the virtual screen in front of him, Lu Qingshan was quite looking forward to it.

In fact, he had long wanted to exchange for a supreme weapon to enhance his strength!

However, his strength was relatively weak at the time, especially after he obtained the treasures of the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove, which attracted the attention of many greedy powerful individuals.

If he rashly exchanges for a rare and precious weapon, and then perishes while exploring the secret realms of the universe, he might not even be able to recoup his investment.

But it’s different now!
He has now comprehended the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God, and based on this, he has created and perfected the fifth ultimate secret technique.

With his current strength, it would be too cowardly of him to hesitate to exchange for a supreme weapon because of the possibility of his demise.

"The Thunderous Strike Sword requires 1.5 Treasure Points to exchange. Lu Qingshan, would you like to exchange it?"

"exchange!"

Lu Qingshan nodded without hesitation.

Rumble!
The stone slab in the center of the side hall slowly cracked open again, soon revealing a passage leading to a bottomless abyss.

Then, a treasure slowly flew out from it. It was a long sword with an ancient shape and a purple-gold color. On the blade of this long sword were extremely complex and intricate strange law patterns.

As soon as the long sword appeared in mid-air, it flew directly towards Lu Qingshan, who had already paid the corresponding treasure points, and Lu Qingshan quickly reached out and grasped it in his hand.

"Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword!"

Lu Qingshan quickly released a wisp of Venerable Divine Power, which seeped into the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword to complete the recognition of its master. He then thought to himself, "Until I have enough wealth to exchange for a high-grade supreme weapon, this Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword should accompany me for a long time!"

After exchanging for the Thunderous Strike Sword and many treasures that enhance life gene levels, Lu Qingshan still had 2 Treasure Points and 3953 Heavy Treasure Points left.

Although the remaining wealth was still quite considerable, Lu Qingshan did not continue to exchange for other treasures.

After all, treasures are valued for their quality, not quantity. With his current strength, even if he were to exchange for some other treasures, it wouldn't be of much help to him.

After exchanging for treasures that suited him, Lu Qingshan quickly left Chaos City and returned directly to his divine kingdom.

Over the past eighty million epochs, although Lu Qingshan would occasionally take the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea clone to explore various cosmic secret realms, he would also continuously expand the size of the Endless Divine Sea clone at other times.

When Lu Qingshan broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, the diameter of his Endless Divine Sea clone had already expanded to more than 50 million kilometers.

However, when Lu Qingshan later broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable and his own strength was transformed into the divine power of the Universe Venerable, the divine body of the Endless Divine Sea clone was only transformed by more than 20%.

Therefore, in the very beginning, Lu Qingshan's Endless Divine Sea clone needed to absorb enough energy to completely transform his divine power into divine power at the Venerable level. This process took about ten million epochs.

Over the next 60 million epochs, the size of the Endless Divine Sea clone continued to expand, and now it has reached a diameter of over 100 million kilometers.

Of course, for Lu Qingshan, the function of the Endless Divine Sea clone is equivalent to a large energy storage pool, so a diameter of 50 million kilometers or 100 million kilometers makes little difference to him.

In any case, for his main body and second clone, such a sufficient source of energy is definitely inexhaustible!

Wow!
Above the endless divine sea, Lu Qingshan gently swung the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword, and the space in front of him instantly collapsed inch by inch.

"The power of a supreme treasure is indeed far, far greater than that of a common treasure!"

Looking at the space in front of him crumbling inch by inch, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder some universe venerables can greatly improve their strength after obtaining a precious treasure!"

Although Lu Qingshan had obtained the even more precious high-grade treasure armor 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor' from the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove 80 million epochs ago, the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor was, after all, a defensive armor, and its power was concealed. It was not visible unless attacked by a powerful figure.

But the Thunderous Killing Sword in Lu Qingshan's hand is different!
Lu Qingshan's mere casual swings were already far more powerful than the top-tier treasure weapons he had used before.

"Even a mere ordinary supreme treasure weapon is this amazing!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I wonder what kind of power a peak treasure, or even a supreme treasure, will possess?"

Don't be fooled by how easily Luo Feng in the original novel obtained the supreme treasure armor 'Chaos Armor' and even the ultimate treasure 'Star Tower'. That was entirely because he successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master after a near-death experience, thus completing the test left by the Mountain Master for his future disciple.

Apart from the reincarnated God-King, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, even the strongest beings in the other solitary universes would not be able to directly bestow upon their disciples peak-level treasure armor, let alone a supreme treasure like the Star Tower.

After all, some of the strongest beings in the original universe didn't even have a single supreme treasure!
Moreover, even among the current human race, it is unlikely that every universe lord possesses a top-tier supreme weapon, let alone even more precious treasures such as top-tier supreme armor.

The most precious treasure that Lu Qingshan has ever possessed is the high-grade treasure armor 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor' that he obtained from the treasure trove of the Ancestral God Sect.

"However, for me now, even a regular supreme treasure weapon is enough!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Once I can activate the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, then among the many universe overlords, there will basically be no one who can threaten me!"

As early as 80 million epochs ago, Lu Qingshan had already obtained the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor in the treasure trove of the Ancestral God Sect.

But even now, he hasn't been able to activate the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, so naturally he can't go out and explore the universe.

Otherwise, if he were killed by the enemy, he would suffer a huge loss.

Therefore, after obtaining the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, Lu Qingshan sent it to his divine kingdom.

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to continue researching the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, he suddenly remembered the treasures he had just exchanged in the human race's treasure vault for over 1,700 treasure points that could enhance the level of his life genes.

"Let's not rush to comprehend the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor. Let's focus on raising the level of my life genes first!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly took out the many precious treasures he had previously exchanged.

One after another, rare treasures, unparalleled in the universe, were placed before Lu Qingshan. Even many cosmic overlords would likely be quite excited upon seeing so many precious treasures at once, and it would be quite common for them to fight each other for them.

"Unfortunately, I'm still too poor!"

Looking at the many cosmic treasures before him, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh, "Otherwise, we could have directly raised the level of life genes to the limit of a hundred times that the laws of the universe can allow, which would have saved a little bit of resources!"

Back then, Lu Qingshan increased the life gene level of his second clone from twenty times to fifty times, which cost a full 1680 treasure points.

And now, the resources he exchanged to increase his life gene level from ten times to fifty times only cost him 1760 Treasure Points.

If you increase the speed from ten times to twenty times first, and then from twenty times to fifty times, the resources required will definitely be more.

Similarly, the resources required to directly upgrade from ten times the genetic level of life to one hundred times are definitely less than those required to upgrade from ten times to fifty times, and then from fifty times to one hundred times.

However, to raise the level of life's genes from ten times that of ordinary life in the universe to the limit of one hundred times, it would take a full five Treasure Points.

With the wealth Lu Qingshan currently possesses, it is not enough to exchange for such a large amount of resources after exchanging for the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword. Therefore, he can only raise the life gene level of his main body to fifty times that of ordinary life in the universe.

"Forget it, I'd rather not think about it anymore!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "What can I do? I'm too poor right now. I might as well lose a little money!"

With that in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly took the treasure in front of him that could enhance the level of life genes.

Then...

hum!
Lu Qingshan quickly released a wisp of Venerable Divine Power to completely envelop the treasure in his hand, and then began to slowly integrate it into his body using some special methods.

Because Lu Qingshan had prior experience in enhancing the genetic level of his second clone, he was quite familiar with the process.

After being used in a specific way, these treasures quickly merged with Lu Qingshan's Venerable Divine Power, causing his life's genetic level to continuously transform. Since Lu Qingshan's original divine body was relatively small, the transformation was naturally very rapid.

In a very short time, Lu Qingshan's life gene level was raised to fifty times that of ordinary life in the universe by these precious resources.

But at that moment, Lu Qingshan felt the 'thirst' of his divine body!
"This is……"

Upon sensing the divine body's thirst, Lu Qingshan was first slightly taken aback, then overjoyed: "Could it be..."

It should be noted that the precious treasures that Lu Qingshan exchanged from the human race's treasury all contained astonishing energy. Therefore, when Lu Qingshan's life gene level was being upgraded, these precious treasures would also replenish the energy in Lu Qingshan's body, keeping the divine power in Lu Qingshan's body in a perfect state.

Therefore, in theory, Lu Qingshan's divine body should not be in a state of 'hunger'.

unless……

The size of the divine body has changed due to the advancement of the life's genetic level.

It's important to know that most life forms in the universe have a fixed body size;
Even some life forms whose size can increase with their strength, such as some star beasts, will reach their size limit when they reach the peak of the World Lord level.

Whether one breaks through to the Immortal God realm or the Universe Venerable realm, only the divine power will undergo a transformation; the physical size will not increase further.

However, there are always exceptions. The laws of the universe also give some life forms that are born smaller a chance.

Therefore, any life form that enhances its genetic level has the potential to increase its physical size, although the probability is extremely small.

Now, Lu Qingshan's original divine body is experiencing a state of thirst, which is very likely due to this situation.

In an instant, Lu Qingshan's true form appeared above his clone in the Endless Divine Sea. Then, endless divine power and seawater surged up from below, quickly enveloping Lu Qingshan's true form and continuously absorbing it.

As Lu Qingshan's true form absorbed this divine power, his size continued to increase.

My height started from a little over two meters and then continued to grow.

Five meters, ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters...

As his height continued to increase, the divine power contained within Lu Qingshan's body also surged.

It wasn't until Lu Qingshan's height reached 200 meters that it finally stopped.

"Hahaha!"

Feeling the two-hundred-meter height of the original body and the vast divine power contained within it, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face.

It should be noted that even after creating the fifth ultimate secret technique, Lu Qingshan was only confident in dealing with the overlord of the universe.

If he encounters a top-tier cosmic overlord, he is still very likely to be in danger, and it would be quite normal for him to perish as a result.

After all, the attacks of a top-tier cosmic overlord are still extremely terrifying, while his divine body is only a little over two meters tall. Even if he wears high-grade treasure armor, he may still have all his divine power annihilated by a single move from a top-tier cosmic overlord.

In this way, even if he carried with him the split divine body of the endless divine sea avatar that replenished his divine power, he would not have time to replenish his own divine power.

But now, his divine body has reached a height of two hundred meters. Although it is still not as tall as those star beasts or some members of the demon royal family, its size is not small.

If Lu Qingshan can activate the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor to the third level, even some weaker universe lords might not be able to annihilate all his divine power in one move, let alone those top universe overlords.

With just a little bit of buffer time, he can quickly replenish his lost divine body to a perfect state through the split divine bodies of the Endless Divine Sea clone he carries with him.

In this way, before the divine power of the endless divine sea avatar splitting its divine body is exhausted, those super strong beings will naturally be unable to kill him.

"From today onwards, I can say I have the power to roam the universe!"

Feeling the boundless divine power contained within his body, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "Although my strength isn't too great yet, I already have an extremely strong ability to protect myself!"

"As long as I don't encounter any beings at the level of a universe lord, I'm confident enough to save my life!"

As for the Lord of the Universe, even if he encountered Lu Qingshan, he would not dare to attack Lu Qingshan unless there was a major conflict of interest.

After all, Lu Qingshan has the entire human race standing behind him, and he is also the personal disciple of the Ice Peak Lord. If a alien universe lord really attacks him, then the human race's universe lord will definitely teach the other party a lesson!
"Looks like I'm still pretty lucky!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I was worried that I would encounter a top-tier cosmic overlord in the future, but now it seems that even if I do encounter one, it's nothing to fear!"

"As for what comes next, let's focus our attention on comprehending the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor!"

"As long as I can fully comprehend the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, I can freely roam this vast universe with its powerful life-saving ability!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and took the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor that was originally left in the Divine Kingdom. Then he began to seriously study the third layer of law runes on the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor.

It must be said that the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor, as a high-level treasure, has a very profound third layer of law runes;

Under normal circumstances, only those with the comprehension of laws at the level of high-level cosmic venerables can activate the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor in a short period of time.

Although Lu Qingshan is still somewhat lacking in his understanding of the laws, he has been studying this third form for quite some time, so he still has some ideas about it.

And so, Lu Qingshan spent over ten thousand years researching before finally fully activating the third form of the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor.

……

Within Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom.

Lu Qingshan, who had handed over the task of guarding the extraterrestrial battlefield to other cosmic venerables, was wearing the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor and holding the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword. At this moment, he was looking down at the endless sea below.

Lu Qingshan waved his hand...

Wow!

The endless divine sea avatar below immediately split into a split divine body with a diameter of one million kilometers.

After storing the split divine body into the specially made world ring he carried with him, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "Although in my opinion, a top-tier universe overlord level being shouldn't be able to threaten me anymore!"

"But the Nine Dragons Overlord Armor is still too precious. Why not find someone to test my defensive capabilities first, so I can be sure of my thoughts!"

After having this idea, Lu Qingshan quickly thought of a suitable candidate: the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Although Lu Qingshan did not know at this time whether the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace had already reached the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was now the strongest among the people who were relatively close to him.

As for the other three top cosmic overlords of the human race, Lu Qingshan had only met them a few times!

"It has been more than 80 million epochs since Tian Shi broke through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Even if Tian Shi hasn't yet reached the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord, he's probably not far off!"

"Sparring with Tian Shi will allow me to better determine my own strength level!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately left his divine kingdom through the temporary divine kingdom teleportation channel and set off for the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master who was guarding outside the Blood Luo Continent.

　It's the weekend, and I'm quite busy, so this is the only chapter I'll write today.
