Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 295 The Terrifying Strength of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master

Human territory, the primordial realm.

In the misty void, an incomparably majestic palace floats above the vast Blood Luo Continent; this is the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

The Eclipse Palace, located in the void, is much larger than an ordinary planet!

From a distance, black dots would occasionally appear to enter and leave the Eclipse Palace. If the distance were to be increased, it would be discovered that those black dots were actually spaceships with diameters of over a hundred meters, and some of the larger ones even had diameters of several thousand meters.

call!
As the surrounding space rippled slightly, a figure clad in purple-gold armor appeared in the void outside the Heavenly Eclipse Palace. It was Lu Qingshan, who had arrived near the Heavenly Eclipse Palace via divine kingdom teleportation and then teleported (using his equipment).

In fact, teleportation is prohibited in the area surrounding the Heavenly Eclipse Palace. Even those powerful experts at the pinnacle of the King realm who possess teleportation abilities dare not teleport near the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Because any spatial fluctuations caused by teleportation would immediately attract the attention of many powerful figures within the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Just as some powerful figures within the Heavenly Eclipse Palace sensed the fluctuations of the teleportation and were about to go and investigate, they suddenly heard the voice of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master stopping them.

Then, a figure flew out from the ninth floor of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and instantly arrived in front of Lu Qingshan.

He was dressed in a silver robe with many golden silk patterns, and had crystal-clear skin and long, flowing brown-red hair.

There was a vertical line between his eyebrows, but otherwise he looked no different from an ordinary human.

This person is none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, who has been in charge of the Blood Luo Continent for over 80 million epochs, and is also one of the most outstanding among the many cosmic venerables of the human race.

"Myriad Realms!"

The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master was clearly surprised to see Lu Qingshan, so while inviting Lu Qingshan to rest in the main hall, he asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly have time to come here?"

The lifespan of a Cosmic Venerable is incredibly long, and with the existence of a virtual universe within the human race, it's quite normal for even close friends to only meet in reality once every tens of millions of epochs.

Just like when Lu Qingshan arranged for Lu Zixuan to go to the Blood Luo Continent for training not long ago, he only greeted the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master in the virtual universe.

However, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace would certainly not personally handle such a minor matter; at most, he would only instruct his subordinates to pay a little attention to it.

Moreover, at that time, Lu Zixuan had already possessed the body of the two-headed demon sable and conceived a clone. If she still perished on the Blood Luo Continent under such circumstances, it would be because her own abilities were too weak.

"It's been a long time since I've visited Tian Shi, so I came to check in!" Lu Qingshan said quickly with a smile.

Subsequently, at the invitation of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, Lu Qingshan quickly followed him to the main hall on the highest floor of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

After both sides took their seats as host and guest, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace first waved to Lu Qingshan, serving him fine wine and delicacies. Then, he smiled and said, "Myriad Realms, I heard that you have fully comprehended the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God and have even become an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect. That is truly astonishing!"

"Eclipse, you're too modest!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Who among the billions of powerful beings in the universe doesn't know your name, the name of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master?"

"Now that so much time has passed, even my strength has improved considerably. I imagine your strength, Heavenly Eclipse, must have improved a lot as well, right?"

"At our level, it's extremely difficult to improve our strength!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly shook his head and said, "I have been in seclusion for tens of millions of epochs, and my strength has only improved slightly!"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred, and he asked, "I wonder if Heavenly Eclipse has created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord?"

"This……"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Myriad Realms, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

After tens of millions of epochs of cultivation, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has indeed created the ultimate secret technique for the overlord of the universe.

However, he never told anyone else that he wanted to surprise the powerful alien next time they met.

"Eclipse, you've misunderstood!"

Seeing the slight change in the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's expression, Lu Qingshan quickly explained, "I didn't mean to inquire about your specific strength. It's just that I came to see you this time because I do have something I want to ask for your help with, so I inquired about it!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly said, "I wonder if there's anything you need my help with, Myriad Realms?"

"Is such that!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "My strength has improved a lot recently, and with the many methods at my disposal, I feel that I now have a chance to save my life from the hands of a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

"I came to see you, Tian Shi, because I wanted to have a real-world spar with you and test my own strength!"

"This……"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace finally understood why Lu Qingshan had asked him earlier if he had created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord.

After all, every top-tier cosmic overlord is very well-rounded. Although he has conceived special life clones, if he has not created the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic overlord, it is still very difficult for him to possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

only……

"Myriad Realms!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly spoke up, saying, "I know your strength may have improved a lot recently, but you must know that the strength of any top-tier cosmic overlord is extremely terrifying. Even many cosmic overlords wearing supreme treasure armor would find it difficult to survive against a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

In the eyes of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, although Lu Qingshan has now fully comprehended the fifth level of the Path of the Beast God, it is impossible for him to improve his strength by much.

Although Lu Qingshan, as the disciple of the Ice Peak Lord, might be bestowed with precious treasures by the Ice Peak Lord, he might still struggle even against a cosmic overlord, let alone a top-tier cosmic overlord.

After hearing what the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace said, Lu Qingshan did not feel that the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was looking down on him.

But that is indeed the case!

If he hadn't obtained the high-grade treasure armor 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor' from the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove, and if his physique hadn't exploded to two hundred meters tall due to a breakthrough in his life gene level, he really wouldn't have been confident enough to face a top-tier cosmic overlord.

So Lu Qingshan quickly explained, "Tian Shi, I know all that you're saying, and I also have some guesses about the strength of the top cosmic overlords!"

"However, I have had some fortunate encounters in my cultivation so far, so I am naturally quite confident. That's why I've come to ask you to help me see just how advanced my ability to protect myself has become!"

"But don't worry, I will take full responsibility for any losses you incur from burning your divine power!"

If Lu Qingshan wanted to test the limits of his endurance, he would inevitably need the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master to burn his divine power and go all out.

Otherwise, even if the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace possessed terrifying strength, he would have no way to cause any damage to Lu Qingshan.

This is precisely why Lu Qingshan did not seek out the other three top universe overlords of the human race, even though he knew that the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master might not have created the ultimate secret technique for universe overlords.

After all, his relationship with Venerable Ancestral Tree, Lord Star Prison Demon, and Venerable Azure Phoenix was only so-so. Asking them to burn their divine power to attack him with all their might would undoubtedly be a rather troublesome matter.

Fortunately, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace has now created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord. Perhaps because he has just broken through, his protective treasures are weaker than those of other top universe overlords, but his strength should be almost the same.

"That's fine!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly spoke up, saying, "Since you insist, Myriad Realms, then let's have a friendly spar! As for the slight loss from burning divine power, it's completely insignificant to me!"

"On the contrary, if you, myriad realms, cannot withstand my attack and your clone is destroyed, you will have to create a new clone!"

"I know this!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Although my opportunities are not as good as yours, Tian Shi, I still have a relatively large divine body avatar. A slight loss of divine power is not a big deal for me!"

"That's good!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's answer, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "Myriad Realms, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace immediately released a wisp of divine power to envelop himself and Lu Qingshan.

Then, with a thought, Lu Qingshan and the other person disappeared from their original spot and appeared in a cosmic star system dozens of light-years away from the Blood Luo Continent.

"This place is quite remote; usually, nobody comes here!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace looked at Lu Qingshan and then said, "Myriad Realms, let's spar here!" "Very well!"

Lu Qingshan flashed and instantly appeared in the void dozens of kilometers away from the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master: "Heavenly Eclipse, aren't you going to let your special life clone take action?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master quickly smiled and said, "In the myriad realms, my true form is also very powerful!"

"Alright then!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly. He knew he was being looked down upon, but he didn't say anything more.

"Myriad Realms!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace stood in the void, looking at Lu Qingshan from afar, and then said, "You make the first move!"

"Alright!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then with a thought, his body instantly grew to two hundred meters tall.

In this world of Devouring Stars, even an ordinary immortal can change the size and shape of their divine body, but it will affect their ability to exert their power.

For convenience, Lu Qingshan had previously kept his divine body at a height of only two meters. Now that he needed to fight, he naturally restored it to a height of over two hundred meters.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's divine body suddenly grow to two hundred meters tall, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master was slightly surprised, but then didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he knew that raising one's life gene level could potentially increase one's physical size, and that this occasionally happened among the many universe venerables of the human race and the Hong Alliance when they raised their life gene level.

"Myriad Realms!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect your divine body to have grown to over two hundred meters tall. Among the many cosmic venerables of my human race, this is already considered quite large! However, if you think that a large physique can greatly enhance your ability to survive, then you are mistaken!"

"I see!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then said, "Tian Shi, I'm about to go all out, so you'd better be careful!"

"Go ahead and make your move!" The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace stood with his hands behind his back in the void, exuding the demeanor of a powerful figure.

"kill!"

Lu Qingshan let out a loud shout and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the direction of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master.

at the same time……

Lu Qingshan's divine power had begun to burn, and endless light had appeared on the Thunderous Shocking Sword in his hand, clearly indicating that he had already unleashed the fifth sword technique, 'Annihilation Slash'!
"Nice trick!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan's sudden burst of power, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master in the void nodded slightly in approval.

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to rush in front of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master...

The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master held his right fist horizontally in front of his chest, and then incredibly complex golden runes began to appear on the gauntlet in his hand!
At the same time, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace also instantly burned his divine power, and then his aura soared instantly, almost in the blink of an eye, surpassing Lu Qingshan who had already unleashed his full power.

"Break it for me!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace sighed softly, and then endless divine power instantly poured into the gauntlets in his hands!

boom!
A fist shadow instantly traversed endless space, distorting time and space wherever it passed, even creating visible spatial ripples.

This strike was incredibly powerful, instantly shattering Lu Qingshan's 'Annihilation Slash' technique, and then continued to bombard Lu Qingshan with its immense power.

After being struck by the fist, Lu Qingshan was like a shooting star, sent flying far away by the immense impact.

"Such immense power! Truly worthy of being called the overlord of the universe!"

As Lu Qingshan flew backward, he felt the power of the fist shadow and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "If I were only wearing the top-grade treasure armor I wore before, this attack would probably have been enough to seriously injure me!"

The attack that the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master just made was already more terrifying than Lu Qingshan's full-force attack.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan was wearing the high-grade treasure armor 'Nine Dragons Overlord Armor', so the damage he suffered after taking this attack was almost negligible.

"Myriad Realms, I never imagined you were this powerful!"

After sensing that Lu Qingshan's divine power aura had not changed significantly, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "My attack just now was considered quite good even among universe overlords. I didn't expect that after you fully withstood that attack, your divine body was not greatly damaged. It seems that you now have the strength of a universe overlord!"

"Hahaha!"

Sensing the surprise in the voice of the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile: "I've only barely crossed the threshold of becoming a universe overlord. My strength is still far inferior to yours, Heavenly Eclipse!"

"Since your strength is sufficient, Myriad Realms, then take my second move!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace gripped his gauntlets, his aura surging ever higher: "This next move is the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic overlord that I spent over fifty million epochs to create!"

As soon as the voice appeared in Lu Qingshan's mind, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace finally took the initiative to make a move.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace let out a low shout, and then suddenly swung his fist.

In an instant, countless fist shadows filled the surrounding void, and then these fist shadows bombarded the direction where Lu Qingshan was located.

"This……"

Lu Qingshan tried to use his ultimate move to block, but even if he used the fifth ultimate secret technique, 'Annihilation Slash,' he would be unable to withstand this terrifying attack.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan could only hold the Thunderous Strike Sword horizontally in front of his chest to protect himself.

boom! boom! boom……

The countless fist shadows possessed incredible power, continuously bombarding Lu Qingshan's body and sending him flying backward.

"This power..."

As Lu Qingshan was being sent flying backward, he also felt the damage to himself: "Truly worthy of being the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace! Just the mere appearance of the main body annihilated three-thousandths of my divine power!"

Compared to Lu Qingshan's current 200-meter-tall divine body, a 0.3% damage is indeed insignificant.

However, if Lu Qingshan's divine body had not increased dramatically when his life gene level was raised, he would probably have been completely annihilated by the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master under this move.

Of course, this is also because Lu Qingshan's current level of secret techniques is lower than that of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword in his hand has not played any role at all.

If the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's attack had been weaker, he could have easily reduced its power by using the Thunderous Radiance Killing Sword to parry it with a secret technique. Even if his divine body were smaller, he wouldn't have been instantly killed by the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master.

While Lu Qingshan was shocked, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, who had stopped burning his divine power in the distance, was also extremely shocked.

It should be noted that his strength just now had reached the limit that most cosmic overlords could achieve.

A hundredfold increase in the level of life genes, a hundredfold increase in body amplitude, advanced treasure weapons, the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic overlord...

Above that are the top cosmic overlords with extremely high levels of life genes, and even the supreme cosmic lords!
But now, after enduring his full-force attack in his current state, Lu Qingshan's divine aura has not weakened significantly!
"It seems his opportunities in the myriad realms are also quite astonishing!"

After such a thought flashed through his mind, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "Myriad Realms, what you are wearing should be a high-grade treasure armor! If it were an ordinary treasure armor, it would have reached its limit after I used my full strength. Even if your divine body is relatively large, you should at least be seriously injured!"

"I actually obtained a high-grade treasure armor by sheer chance!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Actually, you should have heard about the Heavenly Eclipse. This high-grade treasure armor is what I obtained after opening the treasure trove in the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove!"

"So that's it!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's explanation, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace suddenly understood.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan spoke again, saying, "Heavenly Eclipse, can I now witness your full strength?"

　Chapter Two will be available, but it will probably be a little later.
