Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 355 The Lord of the Universe Project
In the distant interdimensional space, within Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom.

"I'm finally about to break through!"

On the vast, boundless divine sea avatar, a figure clad in purple-gold armor suddenly appeared; it was the divine power avatar condensed by Lu Qingshan.

At this moment, the divine power avatar looked up at the sky and saw that an extremely huge vortex had appeared above the endless divine sea avatar.

This enormous vortex stretched for billions of kilometers in diameter, with black, white, and more black intertwined, forming endless, massive vortexes that carried boundless power.

At the core of this enormous vortex lies a void, within which the aura of the endless fundamental laws of time and space continues to emanate.

When a powerful individual breaks through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, if they do not have an avatar, the fundamental laws of the universe will naturally descend upon them, allowing them to rapidly absorb the primordial energy of the universe and transform it into their own divine power.

However, if a powerful being like Lu Qingshan possesses clones, the origin of the universe will directly descend upon the clone with the largest volume and most energy, which will further enhance the efficiency of the person breaking through by absorbing divine power.

The largest of Lu Qingshan's main body and second clone is only 200 meters tall, while the diameter of the Endless Divine Sea clone is more than 2 billion kilometers. The origin of the universe naturally descends upon the Endless Divine Sea clone.

This is 'selective arrival,' which is also a gift from the primordial will of the universe to life living in the original universe.

"This kind of power is truly terrifying!"

Looking at the enormous vortex in the sky with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, Lu Qingshan was quite shocked.

It should be noted that when he broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, the size of his Endless Divine Sea clone was already quite large, but at that time the diameter of the Three-Colored Vortex was only a few million kilometers.

But now, as he steps into the realm of the universe's master, the diameter of the energy vortex is more than ten thousand times larger than before!
Moreover, unlike the three-colored vortex that appeared when he broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm last time, this vortex is entirely composed of black and white constantly rotating with each other.

Although Lu Qingshan has not yet fully comprehended the fundamental laws of space, the fundamental laws of space still descended upon him when he broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

Black and white vortexes intertwined, forming endless rings, all radiating overwhelming pressure.

If you look closely, you'll notice that there are also subtle other colors mixed in with the black and white swirls.

At the center of this enormous black and white vortex lies a passage, a passage connecting the 'Origin of the Universe' and Lu Qingshan's Divine Kingdom.

"Such terrifying power is probably rarely seen in this primordial universe!"

Looking at the black and white vortex high in the sky, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.

It should be noted that since this era of reincarnation began in the primordial universe, no more than a thousand universe masters have been born so far.

Among these cosmic lords, most of their divine bodies could not exceed 10,000 kilometers, let alone compare to the endless divine sea avatar with a diameter of more than two billion kilometers.

In the vast universe, the only one whose breakthrough to the level of a universe master could make a greater commotion than Lu Qingshan was probably the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds of the Ancestral God Sect!

Wow!
Countless streams of divine power and seawater, visible to the naked eye, surged down from the other end of the giant vortex, then poured wildly into the endless divine sea below.

"The crucial moment has arrived!"

Lu Qingshan knew very well that this was the most crucial moment for breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe: devouring divine power!

The size of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar is so enormous that, under normal circumstances, it would take an extremely long time to increase its divine power or even expand its size.

But at the moment of breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the divine power from the origin of the universe is inexhaustible and can be supplied for his frantic absorption.

How much divine power Lu Qingshan could absorb depended entirely on his own absorption speed, so naturally, Lu Qingshan cherished this rare opportunity.

After all, the next time he has such an opportunity, it will be when he becomes the strongest in the universe.

Becoming the strongest being in the universe requires creating one's own mini-universe, at which point one will no longer receive the favor and blessings of the original universe as one does now.

"The time available to absorb divine power is extremely limited."

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I must devour it with the highest efficiency!"

It's important to understand that the time it took for the origin of the universe to appear was extremely short!
Whenever a powerful being breaks through to become an immortal, a cosmic venerable, or a cosmic master, the origin of the universe will directly send down a large amount of energy for them to absorb and transform into their own divine power.

However, in these three stages, only when one breaks through to the Immortal Realm will the Origin of the Universe provide enough energy to completely transform their divine body. As for the other two stages, it depends on the speed at which the person breaking through absorbs energy.

If a powerful being has a relatively small divine body, they can naturally convert most or even all of their divine body. However, if a powerful being has an excessively large divine body, even if they desperately absorb it, they can only convert a portion of their divine body.

"Nine Thunder Heavenly Shield!"

With a low shout, Lu Qingshan conjured a bowl-shaped treasure radiating a dazzling purple light from his boundless divine sea. It was the Nine Thunder Profound Heaven Shield, a primordial treasure he had previously exchanged for in the human race's treasure vault.

As it ascended, the Nine Thunder Heavenly Shield rapidly expanded, then turned bowl-shaped and directly blocked the center of the divine power transmission channel.

Boom! !

With the blessing of the Nine Thunder Heavenly Cover, the already surging divine power seawater instantly became even more violent.

At the core of the black and white vortex, endless divine power and seawater poured down like a vast celestial river.

The divine power of the seawater poured out so quickly that it was as if a vast ocean had collapsed. It was ten thousand times more terrifying than when Lu Qingshan broke through to the Universe Venerable realm last time.
"I suck, I suck, I suck!!!"

At this moment, all of Lu Qingshan's will was controlling the Endless Divine Sea clone and the Nine Thunder Profound Heaven Shield to frantically devour the divine power from the origin of the universe.

Ingestion, transformation...

With the assistance of the Nine Thunder Heavenly Shield, a supreme treasure of the origin, Lu Qingshan's endless divine sea clone naturally transformed at an astonishing speed.

The divine power that was originally only at the level of the Universe Venerable immediately transformed into the level of the Universe Lord.

Breaking from a Universe Venerable to a Universe Lord, the basic power of divine power alone will reach a hundred times the original. In addition, with the astonishing difference brought about by the breakthrough of the laws, the strength will increase by more than a hundred or a thousand times.
Unfortunately, the opportunity to devour divine power so extensively could only last for a short while.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan's entire divine kingdom returned to calm, and the pressure of the primordial laws of the universe had also subsided.

Only deep within the boundless divine sea avatar, the endless seawater continued to slowly transform.

"Hahaha, with the blessing of this primordial treasure, even though the diameter of my endless divine sea avatar is over two billion kilometers, I still managed to transform more than sixty percent of my divine body!"

Feeling the vast aura emanating from his boundless divine sea avatar below, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim, "In the current primordial universe, apart from that freak, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, no one can surpass me in terms of total divine power!"

Although the life gene level of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar is very low, its diameter is as high as more than two billion kilometers, which is already inexhaustible as an energy reserve!
"Furthermore, I have two other large clones for combat!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Now that I have broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the original limitation of a hundred times the life gene level is no longer there. I can completely use treasures to raise the life gene level to a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!"

It should be noted that in the primordial universe, apart from the leader of the Yan God Clan, the Yan Emperor, perhaps only a powerful individual who cultivated the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" could raise the level of their life genes to more than a hundred times before becoming the ruler of the universe.

Now that Lu Qingshan has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, he will naturally no longer be subject to such restrictions.

"And my divine kingdom!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel his own divine kingdom.

The divine kingdom is the foundation of the strong!

As its strength continues to increase, the divine kingdom will also continue to expand and transform. When it reaches the level of the strongest in the universe, the divine kingdom will be able to directly transform into a small universe and break away from the original universe.

The initial universe of the human race is a miniature universe of the super-powerful 'Original Ancestor' who led the rise of the human race.

When Lu Qingshan first broke through to the Immortal God realm, his divine kingdom was only 100,000 kilometers in diameter, which was close to being at the bottom among the Immortal Gods.

However, as his own strength continued to improve, and he even broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, coupled with the expansion over endless years, the diameter of his divine kingdom has even exceeded 10 billion kilometers!
And now...

After Lu Qingshan stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe, his divine kingdom naturally began to undergo another transformation. Rumble!
Within Lu Qingshan's divine realm, the world changed color, and the surrounding membranes began to expand outwards.

Although his divine kingdom had been slowly expanding in the past, its expansion speed was far slower than it is now.

As the divine kingdom expands, it also continuously absorbs the divine power of the endless divine sea avatars!
And so, Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom continued to transform.

His transformation into a divine kingdom finally subsided after a full day.

"My divine kingdom has become more stable!"

Lu Qingshan felt his own divine kingdom: "And my control over the divine kingdom has become even stronger!"

Given the current stability of Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom, even if he were to absorb an ordinary universe lord into it, he would probably have a chance to suppress him.

Of course, taking the enemy into the divine realm to fight is a last-ditch effort, and no strong person would do this without absolute certainty.

After all, once the divine kingdom is destroyed, it will be very difficult to break through to a higher realm in the future!

"The day I break through to the next level will be the day my divine kingdom transforms into a miniature universe!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "But this is still a long way off for me. After all, I will definitely break through using the divine power route. Even if I can't reach the level of 100,000 times the life gene of Luo Feng in the original work, I only need to reach more than 90,000 times the life gene and possess the Infinite Divine Body!"

"Of course!"

As Lu Qingshan sensed the changes in his own strength, he quickly thought to himself, "For me, the most important thing now is to improve my strength as soon as possible, and then go to the God-Slaying Palace to venture out!"

"Before my breakthrough, I only possessed the strength of a top-tier universe overlord because of the Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow Sword. So after the breakthrough, I can only be considered an ordinary first-tier universe lord!"

"To further improve my strength, I need to: first, create a higher-level secret technique; second, exchange for more powerful treasures; and third, enhance my life gene level!"

"Creating secret techniques is not something that can be done overnight, but exchanging for treasures and improving one's life gene level are quite simple!"

"With my current wealth, while I can't exchange for a top-tier treasure, I can certainly exchange for a top-level treasure armor. And raising my life gene level a thousandfold should still be achievable!"

"Even if I don't create the ultimate secret technique of the universe master by then, my strength will have barely reached the second tier. Coupled with my astonishing reserves of divine power, I can definitely save my life from a third-tier universe master!"

For Lu Qingshan, immediately venturing into the God-Slaying Palace after breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe was not an impulsive choice.

Although a top-tier domain-type treasure has appeared in the God-Slaying Palace, it is only a core component. It is extremely difficult to collect all of them, so it is not worth the effort of fourth- or even fifth-tier universe lords.

After all, fourth- and fifth-order universe masters are quite rare in this primordial universe; second- and third-order universe masters are the most common.

That's why Lu Qingshan dared to venture into the God-Slaying Palace!

After all, given his strength, the possibility of encountering fatal danger in the God-Slaying Palace is relatively low. Perhaps he can still take advantage of the fact that other powerful figures do not know that he has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe to seize the final treasure, just like before.

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan's main body, who was staying in his mansion on the continent of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, quickly set off for the Chaos City of the Initial Universe.

On his way to Chaos City, Lu Qingshan quickly submitted an application to enter the clan's treasure vault through the virtual universe.

……

In the primordial universe, within the city of chaos.

"Sir!"

"The Venerable One of All Realms!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, all the guards at the entrance of the city lord's mansion acted with extreme respect.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then went directly to the side hall door.

Rumble!
With a thunderous roar, the bronze gate, which was over a hundred meters wide, slowly opened.

After Lu Qingshan stepped inside, the bronze gate slowly closed again.

Upon entering the side hall, Lu Qingshan quickly opened the exchange form in the human race's treasure vault. In the lower right corner of the form, his current wealth was displayed...

Treasure Points: 259

Heavy treasure point: 2197.

He initially possessed 336 Treasure Points after contributing the Azure Light Divine Sword and other treasures to the human race's treasury. However, he later spent 46 Treasure Points to exchange for the Nine Thunder Heavenly Shield, and because the Azure Light Palace token was transferred to Venerable Fei Yu and Venerable Golden Axe, he now only has a little over 32 Treasure Points left.

"I still have plenty of resources at my disposal!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Even many universe lords probably don't have the wealth I have now!"

"I want to venture into the God-Slaying Palace. The most important thing is to improve my survival ability. So the most important thing is to exchange for a top-level treasure armor that can withstand battles at the level of a universe lord, and then exchange for treasures that can improve the level of life genes, and then see if I can increase the size of my body!"

Lu Qingshan's main battle form is a full two hundred meters tall, which is already quite good among Universe Venerables, but very small among Universe Lords.

However, after their breakthrough, the Lords of the Universe have removed the limitations of the hundredfold increase in the level of life genes and the size of the divine body. As long as they are willing to spend resources to improve the level of life genes, the divine body can definitely become larger!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked up at the huge, hazy form in mid-air and said, "Special Resources!"

Wow!
The form changed instantly, revealing a variety of valuable resources available for exchange.

Having already researched the relevant information, Lu Qingshan selected a number of precious materials that could boost the life gene level of his main combat body by a thousand times after a brief search, spending a total of 66 Treasure Points.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue improving his life gene level, but rather that to increase his life gene level to two thousand times, he would need to spend 188 Treasure Points.

Raising the life gene level to two thousand times only results in twice the strength of a life gene level one thousand times higher, which is far too low a cost-benefit ratio.

"I still need to exchange for a top-tier treasure armor, so I can't afford to use up all the treasures I have just to upgrade my life gene level!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "As for further improving my life gene level, I'll wait until I have more wealth to do that!"

With that in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly checked the top-tier treasure armor on the exchange form.

Compared to ordinary and high-grade treasure armor, the number of top-tier treasure armors among the human race is undoubtedly much smaller, totaling only about two hundred pieces, with prices ranging from one hundred treasure points to seven hundred treasure points.

After careful examination, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his attention to a simple, purple-gold armor.

Dragonbone Sky-Shaking Armor: A top-tier treasure armor, requiring 218 Treasure Points to obtain!
Among the top-tier treasure armors, there are twelve suitable for Lu Qingshan to use, and the Dragon Bone Heaven-Shaking Armor is considered one of the better ones.

However, the price of 218 Treasure Points exceeded the resources he currently possessed.

However, Lu Qingshan did not back down because of the high exchange price. Instead, he directly clicked on the detailed information of the Dragon Bone Sky-Shaking Armor.

Soon, a phantom image of an ancient, purple-gold battle armor appeared in the void, surrounded by numerous dragon-shaped phantom images.

at the same time……

"The Dragon Bone Heaven-Shaking Armor is a top-tier treasure armor. When activated to its highest level, it is powerful enough to withstand the full force of most universe lords!"

A gentle voice rang directly in Lu Qingshan's ear: "However, it is quite difficult to activate the Dragon Bone Sky-Shaking Armor to its highest form. Even a Universe Venerable would need a long time to adapt!"

"If it cannot be activated to its highest form, its effect is even less than that of a typical high-grade treasure armor!"
