Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 302 Fame Spreads Throughout the Universe
Outside the gate of a simple mansion in a remote area of ​​Chaos City.

The gates of this mansion were as black as ink, and looked as if they hadn't been opened for a long time.

Suddenly, a figure clad in cyan armor appeared outside the mansion gate. It was none other than the Monumental Corpse Venerable, who had just presided over a battle of top geniuses and led many geniuses into the Chaos City for cultivation.

"Haha, it's rare to have a good friend come to visit!"

Just after Venerable Monument appeared at the entrance of the mansion, a gentle laugh came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, the pitch-black door opened automatically, and then a three-eyed old man dressed in a linen robe walked out.

"Kandri, it's been a long time!"

The Monument Venerable smiled and said, "I happen to be in charge of hosting the Peak Genius Battle this time, so I thought I'd come and visit you!"

Kandri quickly invited Venerable Monument to the living room of the mansion. After waving to Venerable Monument to serve him fine wine and delicacies, Kandri smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Monument, I heard you suffered a bit of a loss when you were adventuring in the cosmic secret realm?"

"That's right!"

The Monument Venerable downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then said rather dejectedly, "I was adventuring in the Purple Snow Secret Realm with the Golden Knife Venerable before, and we finally came across a Xiaoxiang Bamboo, but the Hundred Flower Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable of the demon race beat us to it. Then those two demon bastards took advantage of their enormous divine bodies to relentlessly pursue me, causing me to expend a lot of divine power, and I haven't fully recovered yet!"

"Monument, you are still too young!"

After hearing what Venerable Monument said, Kandri quickly smiled and said, "Actually, encounters like yours are common among the cosmic venerables of my human race. There's really no need for you to be angry about it!"

"Moreover, you've been quite lucky this time; you only lost a little divine power! Among the universe venerables of our human race, quite a few have perished while searching for treasures in cosmic secret realms!"

"Although they will definitely be resurrected by the clan's higher-ups after their fall, they will also incur a huge debt as a result!"

"You should know that you haven't even cultivated for a hundred million epochs yet! In my opinion, you should immerse yourself in cultivation for a while longer, and go out to explore the cosmic secret realms when you are stronger!"

If it were an ordinary person, Kandri would not have spoken so intimately with someone he barely knew.

The relationship between Venerable Beihai and him was quite good. When Venerable Beihai first came to Chaos City to cultivate, he had given him some pointers. So, the two had always had a good relationship.

That is why Kandri, whose cultivation years were incredibly long, spoke up to remind Venerable Beihai.

This is because he had seen far too many super geniuses in the past who, after breaking through to the level of Cosmic Venerable, remained full of confidence, only to perish while venturing into the secret realms of the universe, thus incurring a huge debt to their race.

“I understand!” Venerable Monument quickly nodded and said.

He broke through to the Universe Venerable realm after only tens of millions of years of cultivation, so he was naturally very confident and even believed that he could quickly grow to the level of Universe Overlord or even Universe Lord.

But now, more than 80 million epochs later, he finally understands how difficult it is to cultivate after becoming a Universe Venerable.

"The remains of monuments are something we, the cosmic venerables, fear most when venturing through the universe..."

Just as Kandri was about to give the Monumentalist another reminder, the two of them simultaneously received an important email.

"It was actually a mass email from the Hongmeng leadership?"

Upon seeing the email message, Kandri quickly waved his hand and opened a virtual screen in the void in front of him.

"Our human race's Myriad Realms Venerable has already stepped into the level of a cosmic overlord. In the Purple Snow Secret Realm, he successively killed the demon race's Dragon Sable Venerable and Hundred Flower Venerable, and escaped unscathed from the hands of nearly ten demon race cosmic venerables led by Dragon Fang Venerable and Three Yang Venerable!"

"Let us all congratulate our human race on gaining another cosmic overlord, and at the same time, I hope that you will all continue to work hard and eventually become super strong beings who roam the universe and protect our human race from wind and rain!"

Upon seeing this message, Kandri was slightly taken aback.

Although he wasn't as familiar with Venerable Lu Qingshan as he was with Venerable Beihai, he still knew him quite well. In fact, the two had met a few times at banquets of other cosmic venerables in reality!
But how long has it been?
It should be noted that since Lu Qingshan broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, no new Cosmic Venerable has emerged in the human race. Therefore, Lu Qingshan is now the Cosmic Venerable who has broken through in the shortest time in the human race.

How long has it been? How did the Venerable of Myriad Realms acquire the strength of a cosmic overlord? And how was he able to escape unscathed from the siege of the Venerable of Dragon Fang and others?

In terms of strength, Kandri is actually a cosmic overlord, but he is not confident that he can escape unscathed from the Dragon Fang Venerable!
If Kandri's expression was merely one of stunned surprise, then the expression of the Venerable Monument beside him was far more shocked.

After all, he had just encountered the demon race's Dragon Sable Venerable and Hundred Flowers Venerable, so he knew very well how troublesome these two were!

Even in a one-on-one situation, he would have a lot of trouble if he encountered one of them.

These two powerful demon race members, whose overall strength was even greater than his, actually perished at the hands of the Venerable of Myriad Realms.

Doesn't this mean that Lu Qingshan, who has been cultivating for longer than him and whose breakthrough to the Universe Venerable level took longer than him, already has the strength to easily kill him?
And just then...

"The remains of a monument!"

Kandri quickly spoke up, "You just said that the ones who caused you trouble before were Venerable Dragon Sable and Venerable Hundred Flowers, right?"

"Not bad!"

Once he regained his senses, Venerable Monument quickly said, "Venerable Myriad Realms had previously inquired about Venerable Hundred Flowers and Venerable Hundred Flowers, saying he would teach them a lesson if given the chance. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I didn't expect..."

"Then this time, the myriad realms have avenged you!"

Kandri quickly said, "Let's go, let's go to the myriad realms to offer our congratulations. I imagine many powerful figures from our human race will be there!"

"This……"

Venerable Monument was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded and said, "Let's go together, let's go together!"

When Lu Qingshan killed the Black Wolf Venerable of the Demon Clan, the Monument Venerable still harbored the desire to compete with Lu Qingshan!

But now...

More than 80 million epochs have passed, and Venerable Monument has long realized how difficult it is to cultivate as a Universe Venerable.

Although he possesses a treasure bestowed upon him by his teacher, Lord Youhou, making him stronger than other cosmic venerables of the same level, reaching the level of a cosmic overlord is still an incredibly difficult task for him!

For this reason, the idea of ​​competing with Lu Qingshan had completely disappeared from the heart of the Venerable Monument.

This is the same as those geniuses in the Genius Battle!

If a genius is only slightly stronger, the other geniuses will naturally be dissatisfied and unwilling to admit defeat;
But if it is a super genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs, or even once every tens of millions of epochs, then other geniuses can only look on in awe and will not have any intention of comparing themselves with him!

……

In a luxurious mansion on the continent where the Virtual Universe Corporation is headquartered, a stronghold of the human race.

At this moment, two figures exuding astonishing auras were drinking and conversing in the living room of the mansion.

One of them was about two meters tall, wearing a dark blue robe engraved with countless secret patterns, and carrying a strange blue longsword on his back.

The other person was over eight meters tall, with a burly build, wearing blood-red armor, and had eight arms!

These two were none other than Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan, who had ventured into the ancient mysterious realm with Lu Qingshan and ultimately perished alongside him at the hands of Venerable Suojin of the demon race!
At this time, more than 80 million epochs had passed since the three of them perished at the hands of Venerable Suojin. Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan had naturally been resurrected by the higher-ups of the human race through time reversal.

"Iron Fist, I heard you just received a mission to guard the Lost Starfield?"

Venerable Tianfeng raised his wine cup in congratulations and said, "Congratulations!"

"Actually, it was mainly thanks to Tu Shen's help!"

Iron Fist Venerable said helplessly, "Back then, the two of us and Venerable of Myriad Realms perished at the hands of that demon race's Lock Gold Venerable, and the God-Slaying Palace that God-Slaying lent me was naturally lost as well!"

"Fortunately, after being resurrected by the clan's higher-ups through time reversal, Tu Shen didn't rush me to return the Tu Shen Temple. Instead, he helped me find a position within the company to slowly repay the debt!"

"It just so happens that Scarlet Star, who guards the Lost Starfield, recently planned to venture into the universe, so I obtained this mission with the help of Godslayer!"

"That's already pretty good!"

Venerable Tianfeng quickly nodded and said, "With this mission, as long as we take on the role for a longer period of time, there will always be a chance to pay off the debt!"

"Sigh! It's so hard for me to pay off my debts!"

Iron Fist Venerable couldn't help but sigh, "This time I lost all my treasures, and even the God-Slaying Palace that God-Slaying lent me. Adding the cost of this resurrection, I now owe 2.3 Treasure Points, probably more than Qian Wu and the others!" "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have borrowed the God-Slaying Palace from God-Slaying. That way, even if I perished at the hands of that Lock Gold Venerable, I would have owed less debt!"

"Actually, encountering that Venerable Locked Gold was our bad luck!"

Venerable Tianfeng picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he sighed and said, "Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary Venerable Suojin would be able to produce both a domain-type treasure and a flying palace-type treasure at the same time?"

"If that Venerable Locked Gold didn't have a palace-type treasure, we could definitely hold out until reinforcements arrived thanks to the Temple of Slaughtering Gods!"

"Sigh! Let's not talk about me now!"

The Iron Fist Master shook his head, then continued, "Tianfeng, how have you been lately?"

"My situation is just average!"

Venerable Tianfeng immediately said, "Fortunately, our race has been kind to us fallen Universe Venerables. Even though we have incurred debts due to our resurrection, they won't immediately deduct all the valuable treasure points we have!"

"After my resurrection, I used the remaining treasure points to exchange for a top-tier treasure armor and a regular telekinetic weapon treasure. Although my strength is a bit weaker than before, it will be enough for me to use for a while!"

"Our race has indeed been very kind to us cosmic beings!"

The Iron Fist Master quickly nodded and said, "Even though we owe huge debts, they won't press us for repayment, leaving us with the most basic dignity!"

"However, I still envy Wan Jie. He has an avatar, so even if he fell into the hands of that Lock Gold Venerable, he only lost some treasures. There was no need for the higher-ups of his clan to reverse time and resurrect him!"

"That's true!"

Venerable Tianfeng quickly said, "I once heard from a friend that during our fall, he went to the Ancestral God Sect and even opened a treasure trove in the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove. I heard that even the worst treasures in those treasure troves are comparable to supreme treasures!"

"I've heard about this too. The myriad realms are indeed quite lucky!"

The Iron Fist Venerable quickly nodded and said, "However, those in the myriad realms who possess avatars have an inherently much easier time accumulating wealth than we do!"

While Venerable Tianfeng and Venerable Tiequan were exchanging words, they suddenly received a mass email from the high-ranking members of the Hongmeng Alliance.

Tianfeng Venerable curiously opened the email, only to find that it contained the message that Lu Qingshan had killed Long Diao Venerable and Baihua Venerable, and had escaped unscathed from Longya Venerable and others.

"This……"

Upon reading the message, Venerable Tianfeng's face was filled with disbelief: "How long has it been? How could he have such terrifying strength in the Myriad Realms?"

"Yes!"

At this moment, after reading the email, the Iron Fist Venerable was also shocked: "The Dragon Fang Venerable's strength is in no way inferior to that Lock Gold Venerable. At most, he is only slightly inferior in terms of protective treasures. I did not expect that Wan Jie can now escape unscathed from the hands of such a powerful person!"

Upon hearing Iron Fist Venerable's words, Heavenly Wind Venerable couldn't help but sigh, "If he had possessed such strength back then, wouldn't we have avoided our demise?"

"Tianfeng, you're overthinking it!"

The Iron Fist Venerable quickly said, "If Wan Jie had possessed such strength back then, he wouldn't have ventured into the cosmic secret realms with you and me!"

"That's true!"

Venerable Tianfeng nodded slightly, then continued, "Iron Fist, you've become famous in this battle across the myriad realms. I plan to go and congratulate you. Would you like to come along?"

Upon hearing this, the Iron Fist Venerable nodded hurriedly and said, "Let's go together, let's go together!"

……

Inside the control room of the No. 001 military base on the eleventh battlefield outside the region.

At this moment, two figures were talking in the control room; they were Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Liufeng.

"Liu Feng!"

Venerable Yaoguang looked at Venerable Liufeng and quickly asked, "How much did our human camp suffer this time with the breakthrough of the Qiujiahou clan to become an Immortal King?"

"Our human race suffered relatively small losses this time!"

Venerable Liufeng quickly replied, "The 'Mountain-Piercing Venerable' of the Qiujiahou Clan broke through temporarily under the attack of a near-invincible young man from the Mechanical Clan, so the first thing he had to deal with after breaking through was naturally the strongmen of the Mechanical Clan!"

"Moreover, I arrived there quite quickly this time. The Mountain-Piercing Venerable didn't even have time to attack the King-level Immortals of my human race before I, along with several other Universe Venerables from other factions, drove them out of the extraterritorial battlefield!"

"It's a pity that the newly discovered treasure has also fallen into the hands of that Venerable Mountain-Penetrating!"

"That's nothing!"

Venerable Radiant Light smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary treasure; it's nothing to our human race!"

"The Qiujiahou clan, to which the Venerable of the Mountain-Piercing Mountain belongs, is a powerful clan. After killing the genius of the Mechanical Clan this time, they have now come to blows with the Mechanical Clan. Hopefully, he can cause some trouble for the Mechanical Clan in the future!"

"Their dogfighting is actually a good thing for our human race!"

Venerable Liufeng nodded, then said with some regret, "It's a pity that the person who broke through this time is neither from our human race nor a member of the Hong Alliance!"

"Since we opened this eleventh battlefield outside the domain, sixteen Immortal Kings have broken through to the Universe Venerable realm. Among them, five belong to our human camp. However, only one of them is a member of the Hong Alliance, and he is not even a strongman from our human race!"

"There's nothing we can do about that!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly spoke up, saying, "This extraterrestrial battlefield has gathered powerful individuals from billions of races across the universe. Among the many powerful individuals on our human side, the members of the Hong Alliance are less than one-tenth of the total, let alone the powerful individuals of our human race!"

"It's already quite remarkable that one of these sixteen breakthrough experts is a member of the Hong Alliance!"

"If only our human race could also have strong individuals break through to the next level!"

Venerable Liu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Ever since Venerable of Myriad Realms broke through to the realm of Universe Venerable, eighty million epochs have passed, and our human race has yet to produce a new Universe Venerable!"

"That's normal!"

Venerable Radiance calmly said, "How much time has passed? The demon race, the insect race, and the machine race haven't produced many cosmic venerables yet, have they?"

"Moreover, before Junior Brother Qingshan, our human race had produced several Universe Venerables in succession, including powerful figures such as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and Venerable Jiufeng!"

"That's true!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Venerable Liufeng quickly nodded in agreement.

But at that moment, the two of them simultaneously received a mass email from the top management of Hongmeng.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Yaoguang quickly opened the email, which contained the news that Lu Qingshan had killed Venerable Long Diao and Venerable Baihua, and had escaped unscathed from Venerable Longya and others.

"This……"

After reading the email, Venerable Yaoguang was momentarily stunned: "Junior Brother Qingshan, he..."

"The Venerable One of Myriad Realms' strength has increased way too fast!"

Venerable Liufeng, standing to the side, was even more shocked: "Venerable Longya's strength is terrifying. I remember when the Primordial Star opened last time, he killed Venerable Zhongzhan of the Insect Clan. I didn't expect that even when he and other powerful demons joined forces, they couldn't do anything to Venerable Wanjie!"

"Yes!"

Even now, Venerable Radiant Light, having regained his senses, was still somewhat incredulous.

It should be noted that the Dragon Fang Venerable was stronger than him, yet Lu Qingshan was able to escape unscathed from his grasp.

"I never expected Aoyama to grow up so fast!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "Liufeng, I plan to go to Junior Brother Qingshan's place to congratulate him. Would you like to come along?"

“Of course!” Venerable Liufeng quickly nodded and said.

　This time, I wrote about two minor subplots: the resurrection of the Cosmic Venerable and the breakthrough of the Venerable in the extraterrestrial battlefield. As for the debt owed by Qianwu, he hasn't died a third time yet, so he's naturally not the richest man.
