Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 331 Powerful Figures of Various Races, Schemes of Different Races, Lord of Changjiu
"Humph!"

The Lord of the Azure Phoenix snorted coldly, and a vast river of stars suddenly appeared out of thin air in the surrounding void.

As soon as this galaxy appeared, it instantly enveloped the surrounding space-time, completely enveloping Lu Qingshan and the others.

Within this galaxy, endless starlight permeates the air, and each ray of starlight exudes an extremely terrifying pressure.

This vast starry river was naturally the domain-type treasure 'Rainbow Star River' that the Azure Phoenix Lord used.

In fact, the Rainbow Star River, Lu Qingshan's 'Extreme Universe Void Disc', and the domain-type supreme treasures used by Venerable Poison Dragon are extremely similar in power.

Therefore, the Azure Phoenix Lord did not unleash her power immediately upon arrival. After all, treasures with the same effect cannot stack their power. Even if she had unleashed Rainbow Star River, it would have been difficult to provide any assistance to Lu Qingshan. At most, it would have changed the situation from a two-horse race to a three-way standoff in terms of domains!

But now it’s different!

The Azure Phoenix Venerable has already broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe. Even if it is the same supreme treasure, its power is much stronger when activated by the comprehension and power of the laws at the level of the Lord of the Universe than when activated by the comprehension and power of the laws at the level of the Venerable of the Universe.

Suddenly, the endless starry river in the void surged, instantly covering Lu Qingshan's Extreme Universe Void Disk Domain and the domain cast by Venerable Poison Dragon.

Under the immense pressure of this starry river, the Poison Dragon Palace, where the Poison Dragon Venerable was riding, seemed like a small boat in a vast ocean, as if it might be destroyed at any moment.

An ordinary domain-level treasure actually suppressed a high-level flying palace-level treasure, which would normally be impossible.

However, it is quite normal that the one wielding the ordinary domain-type supreme treasure is a universe lord, while the one riding the high-level flying palace-type supreme treasure is a universe venerable.

Of course, the power of high-level flying palace-type treasures is still very strong. Even the Azure Phoenix Lord, who has already broken through, can only suppress it slightly at most.

"Lord of the Azure Phoenix!"

The voice of Venerable Poison Dragon quickly echoed from within the Poison Dragon Palace: "I truly admire you. I never imagined you could take this final step under such circumstances and break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Even if you break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, there's no way you can stop me!"

"I'm not going to say any more to you today, I'm leaving now! You don't have the ability to create clones, and once you reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe, you can't be resurrected by reversing time and space. I hope you can continue to be so arrogant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Poison Dragon once again began to burn his divine power to activate his Poison Dragon Palace.

After the Venerable Poison Dragon burned his divine power to activate it, the power of the Poison Dragon Palace surged instantly. Even under the dual pressure of the Azure Phoenix Lord's domain-type treasure and control over a spacetime, it quickly accelerated to sub-light speed and then flew rapidly in the opposite direction.

"Poison Dragon, you're lucky!"

Upon seeing that the Poison Dragon Palace had accelerated to near-light speed, the Azure Phoenix Lord snorted coldly and then stopped paying attention to them.

In fact, if she were to burn her divine power as well, she would still have a chance to slow down the Poison Dragon Venerable's escape by relying on her domain and the power to control space and time.

However, the Poison Dragon Palace was a high-level palace-type treasure, and even if she broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, it would be difficult for her to deal with the Poison Dragon Venerable hiding in the Poison Dragon Palace.

Moreover, Venerable Poison Dragon is right. She has just broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe. Although her strength has increased dramatically, she has also lost the chance to be resurrected by reversing time and space.

Therefore, she naturally needs to return to the core territory of the human race as soon as possible, and then cultivate in seclusion for a period of time to continue to improve her strength and survival ability.

With this in mind, the Lord of the Azure Phoenix quickly reunited with Lu Qingshan.

"Lord of the Azure Phoenix!" Lu Qingshan bowed slightly in greeting.

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

The Lord of the Azure Phoenix quickly nodded and said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's return to the territory of the human race as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in response.

Next, Lu Qingshan quickly followed the Azure Phoenix Lord to the vortex passage leading to the outside world. After leaving the original star, the two of them went through a divine kingdom teleportation and a teleportation of millions of light-years before finally arriving at the continent of the Giant Axe Arena's universe headquarters.

Meanwhile, the two universe masters of the Giant Axe Arena had already appeared on the Giant Axe Arena headquarters continent.

One of them was towering, with dazzling long golden hair, a smiling face, and eyebrows that drooped all the way to his chest, exuding an extremely transcendent air.
The other person was wearing dark blue armor, with dark blue scales on his face and a vertical eye between his eyebrows!
These two are none other than the Lord of Void Gold and the Lord of Stormy Retreat, from the Giant Axe Arena lineage.

"Hahaha! Qingluan, you've finally broken through!"

As soon as the Azure Phoenix Lord and Lu Qingshan appeared on the headquarters continent of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, the Void Gold Lord greeted them with a smile and said happily, "After your breakthrough this time, my Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena lineage now has five Universe Lords, finally we are not inferior to the Virtual Universe Company lineage!"

Meanwhile, Lord Lan Cang smiled and said, "Qing Luan, congratulations on breaking through to the realm of the Universe Lord!"

"Teacher, Lanzang!"

The Lord of Azure Phoenix nodded slightly to the Lord of Lan Cang before continuing, "Actually, my breakthrough this time was largely thanks to the battle between Wan Jie and the Poison Dragon Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance!"

"If I hadn't been moved by witnessing their battle and thus comprehended the complete fundamental laws of time, I probably wouldn't have been able to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

After hearing what the Azure Phoenix Lord said, both the Void Gold Lord and the Lan Cang Lord were quite surprised.

In fact, the Azure Phoenix Lord had already informed them of the breakthrough. Even the Dark Lord of the Giant Axe Arena lineage and the Lord of the Youhou lineage of the Virtual Universe Company rushed to support the Azure Phoenix Lord as soon as they heard the news, because they were worried that the Azure Phoenix Lord, who had just broken through, would be besieged by the lords of the hostile races.

Fortunately, the Azure Phoenix Lord was very close to the vortex passage leading away from the original star this time, so he quickly and smoothly left the original star. Naturally, the Dark Lord and the Nether Lord no longer needed to provide support.

However, at that time, the Lord of the Azure Phoenix only told them about his breakthrough, but did not say how he broke through.

Now that the Lord of the Azure Phoenix has said these words, they realize that there is such a connection between them.

At this moment, Venerable Qingluan quickly turned to look at Lu Qingshan and said solemnly, "Wanjie, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to break through!"

"Lord of the Azure Phoenix, you flatter me!"

After hearing what the Azure Phoenix Lord said, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Actually, even without me, you were still able to break through to the Universe Lord realm!"

Lu Qingshan was telling the absolute truth!

After all, when Luo Feng began to rise to power in the original novel, there were only three top cosmic overlords among the human race: the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, the Lord of the Star Prison Demon, and the Venerable Ancestral Tree.

Therefore, the Lord of the Azure Phoenix has either completely perished or broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

It would be very difficult for a top-tier cosmic overlord who could be resurrected by reversing time and space to completely perish, so the Azure Phoenix Lord most likely broke through to the realm of the cosmic lord, and it seems that this is indeed the case now!
Next, the three Azure Phoenix Lords exchanged a few more words with Lu Qingshan, and then Lu Qingshan tactfully took his leave with Venerable Xinfeng and Venerable Wuchi, who had emerged from the World Ring.

After all, the Lord of the Universe and the Supreme Being of the Universe are on two different levels within the human race!

If Venerable Qingluan has not yet broken through, he can naturally spend more time communicating with him, or even hold a small banquet.

But now that Venerable Qingluan has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, he naturally has many important matters to attend to, so how could he possibly have time to entertain the three Venerables of the Universe?
So Lu Qingshan wisely took his leave!

……

Giant Axe Arena, the headquarters of the entire universe, continent.

Xinfeng Venerable and Wuchi Venerable followed Lu Qingshan on the way to the teleportation channel, their expressions of shock still undiminished.

"I never expected that Venerable Qingluan would actually break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Yes! Now our human race has gained another master of the universe, and our future influence will definitely be even greater!"

"That's right! The Azure Phoenix Lord already possessed a special life form, and after this breakthrough, he's probably considered quite powerful even among the Lords of the Universe!"

"I reckon the clan will be holding a high-level meeting soon to announce the breakthrough of the Azure Phoenix Lord!"

In the midst of their constant telepathic communication, Lu Qingshan and his two companions quickly arrived near the central teleportation channel of the Giant Axe Arena's global headquarters continent.

Lu Qingshan originally intended to return directly to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters on the mainland for a rest, but at the enthusiastic invitation of Venerable Xinfeng and Venerable Xinfeng, he followed them to the Universe Mercenary Alliance's headquarters on the mainland.

……

Just as Lu Qingshan was heading to the headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance on the mainland...

The vast universe, an endless expanse of empty stars.

Three thoughts traversed endless space and descended directly into this desolate starry sky, after which three strange figures vaguely appeared.

One of the figures had an extremely slender figure, and even as a mere phantom, it exuded endless allure;
Another figure was a large, silver-white snake, with countless snake shadows vaguely surrounding its body; the last figure was a very large, oval-shaped brown sphere, which looked very mysterious.

These three figures were the leaders of the three top races: the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race: the Zerg Queen, the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the Machine Race Father God.

"I presume you two have already received the news!"

The Machine God looked at the Zerg Queen and the Dream Demon Ancestor, then said in a deep voice, "The Azure Phoenix Venerable of the human race just broke through to the Universe Lord realm on that primordial star. He has probably already returned to the human race to cultivate in seclusion!"

"Hmph! Damn human race!"

After hearing the words of the Machine Race Father God, the Dream Demon Ancestor said coldly, "I never expected that our joint effort to deal with the Northern Frontier Alliance would actually allow the human race to gain an advantage and give birth to a new Lord of the Universe!"

"Yes! With the addition of the newly ascended Azure Phoenix Lord, the human race now has fifteen Universe Lords!"

The Zerg Queen's voice was also somewhat low: "Moreover, the Azure Phoenix Venerable possessed a unique life form that is one of a kind in the universe. Although it does not have the ability to create clones, its life gene level is naturally seven thousand times that of ordinary life in the universe!"

"Once she dedicates herself to cultivation for a while, reaching the third rank will be a breeze!"

It should be noted that third-tier universe masters are quite rare in the universe. Even among super powers like the four top races, not every universe master has reached the third tier.

They either elevated their life's genetic level to nearly ten thousand times, mastered supreme treasures and weapons that suited them perfectly, or created the strongest secret techniques of the universe's ruler.

If all three conditions are met, then one has already entered the level of a fourth-order universe master!

"If only we had the chance to kill the Lord of the Azure Phoenix!"

The Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan quickly said, "This Azure Phoenix Lord has no ability to create clones, and after breaking through to the Universe Lord realm, he can no longer be resurrected by reversing time and space!"

"If we can kill it, the human race will not only lose a cosmic ruler, but also a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

"Mengcha, do you think that giant axe is something you can't just sit around with?"

The Mechanical Race Father God said in a deep voice, "Let's not even talk about whether we can kill the Azure Phoenix Lord. If we really do kill him, do you think Giant Axe, Chaos, Peng Gong, and the others will go crazy and kill our three races' ordinary Universe Lords?"

Hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor said no more.

Although the three races have been fighting each other for countless years, they have generally kept their conflict at the level of cosmic sovereigns.

It was only at the very beginning, when they were vying for vast core territories, that the four top races had their cosmic masters fall at each other's hands.

If they really manage to kill the Azure Phoenix Lord, the human race will surely retaliate in kind!

"Let's discuss this matter further."

The Zerg Queen quickly said, "Perhaps we can wait until the Azure Phoenix Lord goes to the Cosmic Sea, and then find a way to get those madmen from the First Cycle Era to kill him. At that time, the human race won't be able to find us!"

"Disaster!"

The Mechanical God spoke again, saying, "Since the Azure Phoenix Lord does not have the ability to create clones, the human race should not easily allow her to venture into the cosmic sea!"

"By the way! The Star Lord of Liulan from the Northern Frontier Alliance contacted me before, saying that he wanted to join forces with the three of us to deal with the human race. What do you think?"

"How ridiculous!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor immediately sneered, "The Liulan Clan is just a slightly stronger powerful clan. Does the Liulan Star Lord think that just because he has formed a Northern Frontier Alliance and has that guy from the Northern Frontier as his backer, he is qualified to cooperate with us?"

"That's right!"

The Zerg Queen also said in a deep voice, "That Lord Liulan is truly overestimating himself. What qualifications does his powerful race have to cooperate with us?"

The four dominant clans are constantly fighting each other, and their grudges are naturally very deep.

Given the chance, they would absolutely want to completely annihilate each other!

But while they were constantly fighting, they also regarded each other as a respectable opponent.

Aside from each other, they didn't really respect even top-tier clans like the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan, let alone a powerful clan like the Liulan Clan.

"That's what I think too!"

The Mechanical God nodded in agreement, saying, "If it weren't for that fellow from the Northern Frontier, wouldn't it be a simple matter for us four to join forces and annihilate the Liulan Clan?"

In fact, any one of them could easily destroy the Liulan Clan.

The reasons for not doing so are threefold: first, out of fear of the True God of the Northern Frontier; second, out of concern that it would unite other powerful races in the universe against a common enemy; and third, out of concern that the other three major races would benefit from the situation.

"Then let's just say that the human race got lucky this time!"

The Zerg Queen quickly said softly, "As for the Northern Frontier Alliance, we will proceed according to the plan we devised with Giant Axe!"

"When that fellow in the Northern Frontier gets fed up and can't hold on any longer, the Northern Frontier Alliance will naturally fall apart!"

"it is good!"

"I agree!"

The mechanical race's father god and the dream demon ancestor echoed in agreement.

After reaching a consensus, the huge oval brown sphere, the vaguely visible slender figure, and the silver serpent surrounded by countless snake shadows quickly disappeared, and the starry sky returned to calm once again.

At the same time, an oval brown sphere and a slender figure reappeared in another part of the starry sky; they were the Machine Father God and the Zerg Queen.

"Queen!"

The mechanical god quickly asked, puzzled, "Is there something you wanted to discuss with me here alone?"

"mechanical!"

The Zerg Queen said softly, "Don't you think there are too many cosmic rulers among the human and demon races?"

"Among our four peak races, my insectoid race only has five universe lords, and your mechanical race only has eight universe lords, but the human race now has fifteen universe lords, and the demon race has eighteen universe lords!"

"With so many universe masters, their chances of producing one more universe-leading being are far greater than those of our two races!"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing the Zerg Queen's words, the Mechanical Father God snorted coldly and said, "The powerful beings of the demon race and the human race are indeed more insightful, and their numbers are too great. Although most of them are ants, there will always be some geniuses who emerge!"

"Yes!"

The Zerg Queen quickly continued, "Therefore, I think our two races should cooperate more closely and target the demon and human races more!"

"That's a good idea!" The mechanical god quickly nodded and said.

"A great opportunity is coming right now!"

The Zerg Queen quickly said, "The Demon Race's Lord Changjiu is currently training in the Cosmic Sea. According to our Zerg experts' investigation, this Lord Changjiu has already reached the fourth tier of strength and has created two of the strongest secret techniques of the Cosmic Lord!"

"If he's given more time, he'll definitely be able to reach the fifth tier. Then the demon race will have three fifth-tier universe lords!"

“Your race and my race each have one fifth-order universe lord, and the human race only has two fifth-order universe lords. Don’t you think the demon race has too many fifth-order universe lords?”

"Instead of trying to kill the Azure Phoenix Lord, it would be better to try to kill the Changjiu Lord!"

"That's true!"

The Mechanical God quickly nodded and said, "The threat posed by the Azure Phoenix Lord to our two races is far less than that of the Changjiu Lord!"

"However, this matter cannot be handled by our two races alone. We still need to contact the human race to discuss it together, and let the human race take the lead!"

"no problem!"

The Zerg Queen quickly nodded and said, "I'll contact Giant Axe right away!"
