Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 361 The Temple of Gods Execution Opens, Successive Breakthroughs
The original star, number 04793, is located near the Temple of Gods Execution, which has already been established.

At this moment, super strong individuals from various forces in the primordial universe have gathered here. Among them, even the weakest are the best of the universe overlords, and there are some top universe overlords who are rarely seen in normal times.

Among these powerful individuals, very few actually possess the tokens of the God-Slaying Hall. Most of them are simply waiting to take advantage of the chaos once the God-Slaying Hall opens.

After all, as time goes by, the probability of finding precious treasures on the original planet has become increasingly lower.

What emerged from the God-Slaying Palace was a top-tier domain-level treasure. Although it was only a part of it, it was enough to make countless super-strong individuals covet it.

Among the many powerful figures around them were four super strong individuals emanating terrifying auras; these were none other than the four renowned Lords of the Universe.

Each of them stayed in a strange palace shaped like solidified flames. The palace was decorated with many strange carvings. It was the famous Sirius Palace in the universe, and the Sirius Lord of the demon race lived inside the palace.
A man dressed in a light blue robe, with a cold face and an extremely cold aura emanating from his body, was none other than the Snow Heaven Palace Master, whose Azure Light Divine Sword had been taken by Lu Qingshan in the Azure Light Divine Palace.

The other person seemed to be made entirely of rock, with a body shape resembling a tortoise. He had a pair of blood-red eyes on his ferocious head, and his body was covered in thick armor. He was none other than the leader of the powerful Qiujiahou tribe, the Qiujia Lord!

The last one was tall and burly, covered in a dense layer of scales, with a proud single horn on his forehead, exuding an aura of overwhelming dominance!
This person was enough to make many powerful figures around him extremely wary just by standing there in the void, because he was a super strong person with a great reputation in the universe, the leader of the Yan God Clan, the Yan Emperor!

Of the four universe lords present, Yan Di is undoubtedly the strongest.

"Emperor Yan!"

The voice of the Lord of Sirius soon echoed from within the Sirius Palace: "You also obtained this token of the God-Slaying Palace?"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing the Lord of Sirius's words, Emperor Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Sirius, don't you think you're meddling too much? Does that mean I can't come here just because I didn't obtain the token of the God-Slaying Palace?"

"Emperor Yan, you..."

After hearing Yan Di's words, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He was a powerful demon, and naturally harbored deep grudges against powerful human beings.

He originally thought that since Emperor Yan had defected from the human race, there must have been a great conflict between him and the strong members of the human race. With the human race as a common enemy, the two of them could have a friendly exchange.

But to everyone's surprise, Emperor Yan was indeed as arrogant and disdainful of everyone as the legends had it!
"What does this damned Yan Emperor have to be so arrogant about?"

The Lord of Sirius couldn't help but think to himself, "He only managed to obtain a few supreme treasures by luck. He didn't offend our demon race. If he had, no matter how powerful he was, he would have been killed by our demon race!"

It should be noted that the demon race currently has two of the strongest beings in the universe. In a one-on-one situation, perhaps only the Ancestral God Sect in this primordial universe can rival the demon race.

Just as the Lord of Sirius and his three companions were patiently waiting near the Temple of Godslaying, another towering figure flew in from afar.

While the Snow Heaven Palace Master and the Black Mist Lord waited patiently, a majestic figure suddenly appeared in the distance and quickly flew towards the temple.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, both the Snow Heaven Palace Master and the Lord of the Dragon Armor changed their expressions slightly, and even the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Palace couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

At the same time, many powerful figures around them began to discuss the matter.

"It's the Flint Lord of the Hong Alliance!"

"This is going to be interesting! The Lord of Flint is no weaker than Emperor Yan!"

"Do you think the Lord of Flint possesses any tokens from the Temple of Godslayer?"

"There should be, otherwise, given the speed of information transmission in the Hongmeng's virtual universe, the Lord of Flint could have waited until the Temple of Gods Execution opened before rushing over!"

……

"Hahaha!"

The Lord of Flint, having regained his footing, exhaled two streams of flame from his nostrils: "I never expected to encounter so many Lords of the Universe this time!"

"flint!"

Upon seeing the Lord of Flint appear, Emperor Yan quickly nodded slightly in greeting.

Back when he was still among the human race, the Lord of Flint was extremely flattering to him.

Yan Di naturally wouldn't care about the flattery of ordinary people, but the Lord of Flint had already created the strongest secret technique among the Lords of the Universe. Although his protective treasures and life genes were somewhat inferior to his, his strength was still extremely powerful.

Even though Emperor Yan was arrogant at the time, he still respected the Lord of Flint to a certain extent, so the relationship between the two of them was quite good.

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Flint simply snorted coldly after hearing the Emperor Yan's greeting, completely ignoring him.

It should be noted that the Lord of Flint is a special life form, and has no clan to burden him.

The reason he chose to join the Hong Alliance, which was dominated by the human race, was because he was resurrected once by the Giant Axe Founder when he was still at the level of a Universe Venerable. That's why he joined the Hong Alliance and has been fighting for the interests of the human race ever since.

The reason he had been so flattering to Emperor Yan was not only because Emperor Yan possessed extremely high potential, but more importantly because Emperor Yan was a member of the human race.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the Flame Emperor was, the Lord of Flint would not have been so polite.

But now that the Flame Emperor has separated from the human race, he naturally won't give the Flame Emperor a friendly look anymore.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the Lord of Flint was showing him no respect, Emperor Yan was quite annoyed.

However, it's not the time for the treasure to be revealed yet, and he doesn't want to have a big battle with the other party and let others benefit from it!

"Lord of Flint!"

The voice of the Lord of Sirius quickly echoed from within the Sirius Palace: "I didn't expect you to come here too. It seems you must have obtained the token of the God-Slaying Palace!"

"Lord of Sirius!"

Lord Flint nodded slightly toward the direction of the Sirius Palace: "I didn't expect you to be here too!"

"Hahaha!"

The Lord of Sirius immediately laughed and said, "I just happened to come across a token, so I came to join in the fun!"

At the same time that these cosmic lords were exchanging telepathic messages...

hum!
The entire original star, number 04793, began to tremble slightly.

The tremor was seen spreading outwards in all directions from the Temple of Godslaying.

After the shockwave spread, the many powerful figures surrounding the Temple of Gods Execution all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"The Temple of Gods' Execution is about to open!"

"Quickly inform the leader that the Temple of Godslayers has been activated!"

……

Upon seeing the opening of the God-Slaying Palace, many powerful individuals without tokens began to act.

At the same time, many powerful individuals who possessed the tokens of the God-Slaying Temple quickly emitted a faint white light, and then their figures all disappeared.

Among these figures were the Lord of Sirius, the Lord of Qiongjia, the Lord of Snow Heaven Palace, the Lord of Flint, and others, but only the Flame Emperor remained in place.

"I didn't expect that all four of these guys had the tokens of the God-Slaying Temple!"

Watching the figures of the Lord of Sirius and the others disappear, Emperor Yan thought to himself, "Then the Palace Master of Snow Heaven and the Lord of the Dragon Armor are one thing, but if the Lord of Sirius or the Lord of Flint gets the treasure this time, it will be difficult for me to snatch it again!"

However, Emperor Yan did not give up immediately. After all, in such a temple, it is not necessarily true that the strongest person can win the final treasure.

Even a cosmic overlord who enters it sometimes has a chance to seize treasures.

However, even if a cosmic overlord did obtain such a precious treasure, it would be difficult for him to leave smoothly without a powerful background.

……

Meanwhile, when the Temple of Gods Execution was activated, Lu Qingshan was still communicating with his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, in the virtual universe.

"Qingshan, what's wrong?" The Ice Peak Lord asked with concern after noticing the abnormality on Lu Qingshan's face.

“Teacher, it’s the God-Slaying Palace on that primordial star that has been opened!” Lu Qingshan replied immediately.

"Oh?" The Lord of Ice Peak was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky, Green Mountain. You just created the peak secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, and the Temple of Gods Execution has already opened!"

"That's what I think too!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Perhaps this time the God-Slaying Array Diagram will fall into my hands!"

"Qingshan, don't be too careless!"

The Lord of Ice Peak quickly continued, "According to the intelligence sent back by my Hong Alliance, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Race, the Lord of the Snow Heaven Palace of the Crystal Race Alliance, the Lord of the Qiujiahou Race, and the traitor Yan Emperor of my human race have all been waiting outside the God-Slaying Hall for a long time!"

"These universe lords are all quite powerful, especially the Flame Emperor. Although his character is despicable, his strength is still considerable! Now that so much time has passed, the Flame Emperor may have already created the strongest secret technique for universe lords. If so, his strength is comparable to mine, and he still poses a great threat to you!"

"This disciple will definitely be careful!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

However, although he said that, he wasn't too worried about the Yan Emperor.

After all, in the original work, even when Luo Feng rose to power, the Flame Emperor had not yet created the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord, and his strength was still a notch weaker than that of the Ice Peak Lord.

Moreover, after Luo Feng retrieved the Calamity Armor from Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan's armor became a top-tier treasure, and its overall strength was somewhat weakened.

"If you encounter danger, call for help immediately!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly replied, "The strongest members of my human race will definitely arrive in time to provide support!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement.

the other side……

While communicating with the Lord of Ice Peak in the virtual universe, Lu Qingshan's true form was quickly enveloped in a dazzling white light.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan found himself in a white, misty world.

Once he came to his senses, Lu Qingshan quickly observed his surroundings. In the center of this white world, a battle blade emitting a ghostly light was floating.

Further away, there was another figure clad in cyan armor.

"The Earthenware Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance?"

Upon seeing the figure in blue armor, Lu Qingshan quickly recognized the other party's identity.

"The Venerable One of All Realms?"

Just as Lu Qingshan realized the other party's identity, the Earthenware Venerable also quickly recognized him.

At that moment, a new message was quickly transmitted from the token of the God-Slaying Palace that Lu Qingshan carried with him, which was the rule of the God-Slaying Palace.

The rules within the God-Slaying Hall are quite similar to those of the Azure Light Hall that Lu Qingshan had previously ventured into...

After entering the God-Slaying Hall, the sixty-four powerful individuals holding tokens will randomly appear in a space containing corresponding treasures and vortex passages leading to the next space.

If you encounter other powerful individuals, only one person can enter the next level of space.

"I didn't expect the rules to be like this inside the Temple of Gods Execution!"

Having understood the rules, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze to the Earthenware Venerable in the distance.

The strength of this Earthenware Venerable is already quite good among the universe overlords. However, even before his breakthrough, Lu Qingshan would have had a chance to kill him with some effort, let alone the current Lu Qingshan.

At this moment, the Earthenware Venerable, who had learned the rules, did not hesitate at all and immediately used his movement technique to flee in the opposite direction from Lu Qingshan.

While fleeing, Venerable Tu Tao also transmitted his voice to Lu Qingshan: "Venerable Wanjie, I'm giving up everything, whether it's the treasures or the qualification to enter the next level. I hope you can spare me this time!"

At this moment, Venerable Tu Tao undoubtedly regretted not contributing the token of the God-Slaying Temple to the Northern Frontier Alliance earlier.

He originally thought that with his strength, even if he couldn't get the final precious treasure by entering the Temple of Gods Execution, he would still gain something else.

Unexpectedly, the rules within the God-Slaying Hall were so cruel, and he encountered the renowned Venerable of Myriad Realms right away.

Now, in order to save his life, he has no choice but to give up the fight for the treasure!
"This……"

Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then quickly agreed.

Firstly, this Earthenware Venerable doesn't possess many treasures, and there's no enmity between them, so there's no need to attack him.

Secondly, the Earthenware Venerable was already on guard and had distanced himself from him. It would be difficult to kill him using only the methods he had before his breakthrough. However, if he were to reveal the methods of a Universe Lord, it would undoubtedly leak the information prematurely.

A mere earthenware monk like him is certainly not worth him doing this!
Immediately, Lu Qingshan ignored the Earthenware Venerable and flew directly to the battle blade emitting a ghostly light in the center of the world, then sent a wisp of divine power to penetrate it.

"An ordinary treasured battle sword?"

After completing the recognition process, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect to encounter such a precious treasure right from the start. It seems that this trip to the God-Slaying Palace will definitely yield many gains!"

And just after Lu Qingshan sheathed his battle sword...

Rumble!
Right where the battle blade had been, a vortex passage emitting a faint light slowly took shape.

Looking back at the Earthenware Venerable, Lu Qingshan quickly stepped into the vortex passage leading to the next level.

Meanwhile, watching Lu Qingshan's figure disappear, the Earthenware Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance secretly rejoiced.

"Isn't it said that the Venerable of Myriad Realms is bloodthirsty by nature and harbors great hostility towards the powerful figures of our Northern Frontier Alliance?"

The Earthenware Venerable couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that this Venerable of Myriad Realms is quite easy to talk to; he hasn't even tried to kill me!"

"However, I gained absolutely nothing from entering this God-Slaying Temple this time, which is a huge loss! If I had contributed the token to the Alliance back then, I would at least have received a common supreme treasure weapon!"

Thinking of this, Venerable Earthenware felt another pang of heartache!
……

the other side.

After stepping into the vortex passage, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at the next level of the God-Slaying Hall.

The overall layout of this space is quite similar to the previous one; it is also a white, misty world, with a cyan mirror placed in the center.

Lu Qingshan didn't pay attention to the mirror, but instead looked directly at another figure not far away.

The creature was nearly 200 meters long, similar in size to a black bear, but covered in black scales.

This strange, eerie beast, which exudes a rather oppressive aura, is none other than the leader of the Demon Ape lineage, an ordinary race in the universe—the Demon Ape Venerable.

"The Demon Ape Venerable of the Misty Alliance?"

Lu Qingshan was quite surprised to see the Demon Ape Venerable.

When he created the fifth ultimate secret technique, this Demon Ape Venerable was the two thousandth opponent that his teacher, Lu Qingshan, had set up for him.

"I never expected to encounter this Demon Ape Venerable here!"

Lu Qingshan wanted to go up and talk to the Demon Ape Venerable, but the Demon Ape Venerable's reaction upon seeing him was even more panicked than that of the Earthenware Venerable on the previous level.

As the Demon Ape Venerable fled frantically in the opposite direction from Lu Qingshan, he sent a telepathic plea for mercy to Lu Qingshan, just like the Earthenware Venerable before him.

After all, this Demon Ape Venerable is the leader of the Demon Ape clan. If he were to perish in this God-Slaying Hall, the future treatment of the Demon Ape lineage would probably not be much better than that of the Golden Horn clan after the fall of Herodo.

Even with the strength Lu Qingshan had previously displayed, he was capable of killing the Demon Ape Venerable, so he must be quite afraid.

After hearing the Demon Ape Venerable's telepathic message, Lu Qingshan felt bored and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk with the Demon Ape Venerable.

After Lu Qingshan arrived in front of the cyan mirror, he quickly released a wisp of divine power to complete the recognition of the mirror as his master.

"A top-tier treasure of the domain?"

After sensing the message from the cyan mirror, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "It seems to be more valuable than that previous treasured battle blade!"

"I wonder what treasures and powerful figures I'll encounter on the next level?"

With that thought in mind, Lu Qingshan immediately stepped into the vortex passage that had fully formed after he took the cyan mirror.
