Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 342 The Heart of the Beast God
Within the azure world of the Azure Light Palace.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan quickly shrank the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower, which had completely suppressed the Void Tower-riding Venerable Lock Gold, and then flew back into his hand.

"He hasn't self-destructed yet; it seems he's still hoping someone can rescue him!"

Looking at the Locked Gold Venerable suppressed by the Chaos Returning Ruins Tower, Lu Qingshan sneered inwardly, "However, since I can suppress you, I can naturally kill you too!"

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at the Ice Throat Venerable, who had already retreated to a great distance.

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

After noticing Lu Qingshan's gaze, Venerable Ice Throat immediately replied telepathically, "Congratulations on suppressing Venerable Locked Gold. With such a palace-like treasure protecting you, I believe you will definitely gain a lot even if you enter the next level!"

While transmitting his voice to Lu Qingshan, Venerable Ice Throat was also prepared to escape at any moment. After all, given the terrifying strength that Lu Qingshan had just displayed, if he got too close to him, he would have absolutely no chance of escaping.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan didn't pay too much attention to the Ice Throat Venerable at this moment. Instead, he quickly flew to the center of the square and then released a wisp of divine power to collect the high-grade treasure weapon that was placed there.

After Lu Qingshan put away the treasure, a vortex passage slowly formed in front of him!
However, Lu Qingshan did not immediately step into the teleportation channel. Instead, he directly connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and headed to his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak's, residence.

……

In the virtual universe, atop Thunder Island, within the Ice Peak Temple shrouded in endless chaotic currents.

Lu Qingshan stepped directly across the threshold of the main hall and entered the hall. Only after reaching the depths of the endless chaotic energy did he respectfully call out, "Teacher!"

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, a figure dressed in a silver robe quickly emerged from the endless chaotic energy; it was none other than the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Qingshan!"

The Lord of Ice Peak smiled at Lu Qingshan and then asked, "You should be wandering around in the Azure Light Palace right now. Did you come to find me because you've run into trouble?"

"We've encountered a small problem!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "When I ventured into the Azure Light Palace this time, I encountered Venerable Bluefin of the Insect Clan Alliance, Venerable Purple Roc of my Hong Alliance, and others!"

The Lord of Ice Peak listened silently, after all, neither the Blue Fin Venerable nor the Purple Roc Venerable could possibly threaten Lu Qingshan.

"The Bluefin Venerable fell at the hands of this disciple, while the Purple Roc Venerable retreated voluntarily after encountering this disciple!"

Lu Qingshan continued, "However, after entering the next level, I encountered Venerable Lock Gold of the Demon Clan and Venerable Ice Throat of the Prison Clan!"

“The Ice Throat Venerable did not dare to fight the disciple, so he chose to retreat. The Lock Gold Venerable had killed the disciple before, so the disciple fought a fierce battle with him.”

"However, that Venerable Locked Gold possessed a palace-like treasure for protection, so in the end, I had no choice but to expose the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower to suppress him!"

"Oh? You actually suppressed that Venerable Locked Gold!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Ice Peak Lord was slightly surprised, then laughed: "Although the original strength of that Lock Gold Venerable was not bad, his protective treasures were still very ordinary!"

"But later, I don't know what kind of opportunity I had, and I actually managed to acquire a complete set of domain-type treasures, palace-type treasures, and soul-type treasures all at once. Even if I encountered an ordinary universe lord, I would have a chance to save my life. I never expected that I would fall into your hands this time!"

"It was only because I happened to encounter the special environment inside the Azure Light Palace that the other powerful members of the Demon Clan Alliance were unable to provide support, which allowed me to successfully suppress Venerable Lock Gold!"

Lu Qingshan hurriedly said, "But I'm worried that Venerable Suojin has already sought help from the Lord of the Demon Universe. After I leave the Azure Light Hall, the Lord of the Demon Universe might take action against me!"

"Humph!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak couldn't help but snort coldly: "That demon race has always been so shameless!"

"But you don't need to worry about this!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly said, "You are a strong person of my human race, and my human race will naturally not allow you to be forced by those alien universe lords!"

"Next, you just need to continue exploring within the Azure Light Palace. When you leave the Azure Light Palace, powerful members of our human race will naturally come to your aid!"

"is teacher!"

With the promise from the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan immediately felt relieved.

"Go!"

The Lord of the Ice Peaks immediately instructed, "With my human race as your backing, you only need to strive forward; you don't need to worry about anything!"

"is teacher!"

Lu Qingshan respectfully responded and then withdrew from the temple of the Lord of Ice Peak.

……

"Qingshan is quite lucky!"

Watching Lu Qingshan's departing figure, the Ice Peak Lord sighed inwardly, "I never expected that he would reap such rewards so soon after I handed over the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower to him!"

"If he can maintain this luck, he might actually be able to exchange it for the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower!"

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Ice Peaks couldn't help but laugh.

The stronger a disciple is, the more confident he is in bestowing treasures upon him.

Otherwise, even if he bestowed treasures, they would be taken away by powerful alien races!

"but……"

The Lord of Ice Peak was also secretly pondering: "The Lord of Gold probably knows that Green Mountain is my disciple. He might invite other universe lords of the demon race to the Primordial Star this time!"

"And the most important thing in order to meet up with Qingshan on that primordial star is actually a domain-type supreme treasure!"

"My main battle avatar is still adventuring in the cosmic sea, and the 'Frosty Mist Realm' is also inside it. All I'm carrying with me now is a high-level class treasure!"

"This is enough to deal with ordinary universe lords, but it might still be a bit difficult to deal with a prepared demon race!"

"It seems we'll have to ask our senior brother for help this time. Those few demons who possess top-tier domain-level treasures are also adventuring in the cosmic sea. With our senior brother's strength and the power of the Thousand Treasures River in his hand, he should be able to suppress everything on that primordial star!"

With this in mind, the Lord of Ice Peaks immediately set off for the Thousand Treasure River region within the Primal Secret Realm.

……

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan stepped into the teleportation channel leading to the fifth floor of the Azure Light Palace, he quickly arrived in a blue world that was very similar to the one before.

At this moment, three supreme treasures were displayed on the huge plaza in the center of the cyan world, their auras clearly no less than that of the high-grade supreme treasure on the fourth floor.

"Three supreme treasures? They must all be high-grade supreme treasures!"

After seeing the treasures displayed in the square, Lu Qingshan felt relatively calm.

After all, his gains from killing the Bluefin Venerable and suppressing the Locked Gold Venerable were astonishing.

Because Lu Qingshan spent a lot of time suppressing the Locked Gold Venerable on the fourth level, the cyan light barrier blocking his body disappeared immediately after he entered the fifth level.

Once the cyan light barrier dissipated, Lu Qingshan quickly noticed two other figures exuding astonishing auras.

One of the figures was a rock-like being over fifty meters tall. It wore a gray battle armor and exuded a heavy aura. It was none other than the cosmic overlord, Venerable Bing Shi, from the 'Snow Frontier Alliance,' a second-tier power in the universe!
The appearance of Venerable Bingshi had no effect on Lu Qingshan.

Although the opponent created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord, he had relatively few protective treasures, and his divine body was not very large, so he posed no threat to Lu Qingshan at all.

What truly put Lu Qingshan under pressure was another enormous figure, towering like a mountain.

The creature was over a thousand kilometers tall, covered in blue scales, and had a single horn pointing skyward on its forehead, making it look extremely ferocious.

"Starry Sky Beast Alliance, Four-sided Venerable!"

Lu Qingshan was very wary after recognizing the other party's identity.

The Four-sided Venerable is one of the top cosmic overlords in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, but if the other party is only a top cosmic overlord, it is not enough to make Lu Qingshan so vigilant.

The most important point is that the true form of this Four-sided Venerable is the Golden Horned Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance!
It should be noted that the Golden Horned Beast is capable of giving birth to three clones, which, together with its original body, would make four divine bodies.

Furthermore, the main battle avatar of the Four-sided Venerable is a special life form with a life gene level of 1,500 times, which gives it the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

"This Four-Sided Venerable One is known throughout the universe for his arrogance and difficulty in dealing with people!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Moreover, his other clones must be quite large as well. With my current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with him!"

Just as many thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Venerable Four-Sided quickly spoke up.

"Venerable Bingshi, Venerable Wanjie!"

The Four-Sided Venerable's voice seemed to leave no room for doubt: "All the treasures on this floor belong to me, you have no objections, right?"

"No comment!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and the Four-Edge Venerable, Venerable Bingshi had already retreated rapidly and flown into the distance. Hearing the Four-Edge Venerable's telepathic message, he quickly replied, "Four-Edge Venerable, Myriad Realms Venerable, I have absolutely no intention of being your enemy!" After hearing Venerable Bingshi's reply, Venerable Four-Edge's gaze quickly turned back to Lu Qingshan: "Myriad Realms Venerable, what about you?"

"The Four-Sided Venerable!"

Lu Qingshan immediately said coldly, "Are you ordering your servants around? Although I respect your strength, I am very unhappy with your way of distributing resources!"

Lu Qingshan was wary because he was currently unable to kill the Four-Sided Venerable who carried other clones, but that did not mean he was afraid of him.

After all, he possesses the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower, a supreme treasure of the high-level palace type, which already puts him in an invincible position. Moreover, even if a real battle were to break out, the Four-sided Venerable would definitely suffer greater losses!
"court death!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, a cold glint instantly appeared in the eyes of the Four-Edged Venerable: "Myriad Realms Venerable, you don't think that just because you were able to escape unscathed from the Poison Dragon Venerable and the Phantom Palace Master, you have the right to be arrogant in front of me!"

"Since you're unwilling to agree, then I'll kill you until you do, and then I'll take the treasure!"

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Four-Sided Venerable's divine body instantly burst into flames, and his gaze became extremely cold.

This is a powerful member of the Golden Horned Beast lineage, naturally cold and bloodthirsty.

Wow!
A golden light streaked across the cosmos, traversing tens of thousands of kilometers, and struck Lu Qingshan with tremendous force.

Seeing that Venerable Four-Sided Armor made the first move, Lu Qingshan was naturally extremely angry.

If Venerable Four-Sided Venerable were willing to discuss things properly, they might not be unable to reach an agreement, but right now the other party doesn't even consider him an equal.

"Four-sided Venerable One, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Lu Qingshan roared angrily and then swung the Lone Goose Shadow Sword in his hand.

Wow!

A dazzling sword light flashed across the sky, then met the golden light carrying immense power.

Rumble!
The sword light and the golden light collided, instantly unleashing extremely terrifying power, with endless shockwaves sweeping in all directions.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this scene, Venerable Four-Sided was slightly taken aback.

You should know that just now, in order to teach this Venerable of Myriad Realms a lesson, he unleashed his strongest attack as soon as he made his move.

He had thought he could directly defeat Lu Qingshan's ultimate technique and then annihilate a part of Lu Qingshan's divine body, but now it seems that they are evenly matched.

"It's because of that supreme treasure in his possession! It must be a top-tier treasure!"

Upon realizing this, Venerable Four-Sided was initially startled, but then his heart filled with excitement and greed.

It should be noted that among the many treasures that have emerged from the Azure Light Palace, the most precious one is nothing more than a top-tier treasure longsword.

This is already considered standard equipment for a cosmic ruler, and its value is immeasurable!
"Hahaha!"

The Four-Sided Venerable laughed inwardly: "I'll risk it all! As long as I can kill this Myriad Realms Venerable, the many treasures on his body alone will be enough for me to reap endless rewards!"

"kill!"

Having figured it out, the Four-Sided Venerable, now filled with greed, once again charged towards Lu Qingshan's location.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Venerable Four-Sided was determined to fight to the end, Lu Qingshan was naturally quite angry and charged at him as well.

In less than a minute, Lu Qingshan and the Four-Sided Venerable had already exchanged blows over a hundred times.

Their strengths were roughly equal at this point, so each attack was largely neutralized by the opponent, and the remaining power, after being weakened by the high-level armor, had become negligible.

However, even the slightest loss still exists, and coupled with the loss from burning divine power, their divine bodies are constantly being depleted.

However, both of them carried a sufficient reserve of divine power, so they were able to maintain the integrity of their divine bodies at all times.

And so, time continued to pass.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes...

And in the process of constantly fighting with the Four-Sided Venerable...

"This is... the Heart of the Beast God?"

As Lu Qingshan endured the relentless attacks of the Four-Sided Venerable, a sliver of insight began to emerge within him.

The Four-Sided Venerable's attacks were very special; it seemed that every part of his divine body could unleash secret techniques to attack, precisely because he had comprehended the Heart of the Beast God.

The most unfathomable aspect of the Path of the Beast God is undoubtedly the Heart of the Beast God.

Even if one fully comprehends the seventh level of the Path of the Beast God, one still needs to comprehend the Heart of the Beast God in order to successfully break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

With the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group, as time goes by, comprehending the complete Path of the Beast God is not a problem for Lu Qingshan at all.

However, the Heart of the Beast God is too ethereal and elusive!
But now, the fierce battle with this Four-Sided Venerable has given Lu Qingshan such an opportunity.

"Enlightenment Enhancement Function Activated!"

At that moment, Lu Qingshan quickly spent the 24 points he had accumulated over a long period of time to activate the Enlightenment Blessing function in the chat group.

This time, Lu Qingshan even used the group owner's special privileges to shorten the duration of the enlightenment blessing function to one hour.

It should be noted that back when he was still at the Immortal Realm, simply maintaining the Enlightenment Enhancement function for a year was enough to allow Lu Qingshan to accelerate his progress when receiving the Divine General's inheritance.

Now, this enlightenment enhancement function, which cost 240,000 points, will only last for one hour!

This means that Lu Qingshan's comprehension during this hour was absolutely terrifying.

And so, while fighting with the Four-Sided Venerable, Lu Qingshan tried to comprehend the ethereal Beast God's Heart.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qingshan could only gain a slight understanding by doing this; it would be impossible for him to truly comprehend the Heart of the Beast God.

However, with the aid of the Enlightenment Enhancement function, Lu Qingshan now had this possibility.

boom! boom! boom!
Each clash between Lu Qingshan and the Four-Sided Venerable brought Lu Qingshan different insights.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's thoughts were racing, and even his endless divine sea clone within the Divine Kingdom and his second clone within the Ancestral God Sect were constantly analyzing everything he could think of.

The Heart of the Beast God is extremely ethereal, because it is not traceable like the understanding of laws.

It is a state of complete detachment, freedom, and authenticity.

It is related to one's state of mind, but the connection between them is not very deep.

mysterious!

No trace to be found!

This is the synonym for the Heart of the Beast God.

Now, Lu Qingshan was fighting desperately with a super strong expert who had comprehended the heart of the Beast God, which gave him a sudden insight.

With the added benefit of the Enlightenment Enhancement function, he was able to firmly grasp this insight.

In this way, Lu Qingshan's divine power was constantly being depleted in each battle, but he didn't care at all.

As time went by, Lu Qingshan's feelings grew deeper and deeper.

"Roar!"

Finally, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but let out a roar.

At that moment, he suddenly forgot himself;

At that moment, he seemed to transform into a beast god!
Joy, joy, anger, roar, madness...

Transform yourself into a beast god and roam the universe!

He fought against his enemies, battling through the endless void, the battle continuing through galaxies until his final demise!
Once Lu Qingshan regained consciousness, he quickly returned to a clear-headed state.

However, he had completely mastered that previous state and could re-enter it at any time.

"This is the Heart of the Beast God?" Lu Qingshan felt quite excited as he sensed his own condition.

Because now he only needs to comprehend the seventh level of the Path of the Beast God to reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe.
