Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 364 Gains and Encounters

In a rather isolated region of the primordial universe, in a snowy, secret realm.

This is a cosmic secret realm with a maximum diameter of 1.2 million light-years, and it is also the core area of ​​the Snow Sky Clan, hence the name Snow Sky Secret Realm.

The Snow Sky Clan occupies a vast cosmic territory. Every ten thousand years or so, a large number of Snow Sky Clan geniuses are selected and led to this Snow Sky Secret Realm to multiply and thrive.

In the core area of ​​this Snowy Secret Realm, within an inconspicuous mountain range, a strange beast, thousands of kilometers long, suddenly awoke from its slumber, its eyes filled with intense shock and resentment.

"Fortunately!"

The strange beast thought to itself, "Luckily, I have the ability to create clones, otherwise I would have been completely annihilated by the human race, the Lord of All Realms!"

Clearly, this strange monster was the clone of the Snow Heaven Palace Master who had just perished at Lu Qingshan's hands.

When the Snow Heaven Palace Master was still very weak, she had a fortuitous encounter and by chance possessed a strange monster called the 'Lone Shadow Thousand-Eyed Beast' that could create clones.

Unfortunately, he lacked foresight at the time. After being given the opportunity to create a clone, he was worried that the act of possessing another body would be exposed, so he transformed his original body into a new clone.

Therefore, the divine bodies of his two clones are not very large, and their life gene levels are also very ordinary. Their combat power has never been particularly advantageous among strong individuals of the same level.

Fortunately, he later broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, which broke the limitations of the hundredfold life gene level and body size. Even the life gene level of the Snow Sky Clan's original body was increased by him to two thousand times, and his body, which was originally only twenty meters tall, directly increased to five hundred kilometers tall!
Having the ability to create clones is an extremely important thing for a universe master, especially in a situation like the Snow Heaven Palace Master, whose entire clan only has one universe master.

It was precisely because he possessed the ability to create clones that he dared to compete for some precious treasures on that primordial star.

What he didn't expect was that this trip to the God-Slaying Palace not only failed to bring him any benefits, but also cost him the treasures he had accumulated over countless years.

"However, this Lord of All Realms is far too cunning!"

Once he came to his senses, the Snow Heaven Palace Master thought to himself, "He remained unknown even after breaking through to the Universe Lord realm, probably to catch other powerful figures off guard. It just so happened that I happened to run into him this time!"

"However, since you've shown me no mercy, don't blame me for leaking the news that you've broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

Thinking of this, Palace Master Xuetian immediately began to spread the news that Lu Qingshan had broken through to the Universe Lord realm through some channels within the Crystal Clan Alliance.

However, the Crystal Clan's communication system is far less convenient than the virtual universe of the human race, so it will naturally take some time for this matter to spread widely.

Although he was furious, the Snow Heaven Palace Master understood that he could not pose any threat to Lu Qingshan by relying solely on his own abilities.

Even if his strength were to advance further and he created the strongest secret technique of the universe master, it would still be the same!
After two days of fierce fighting with him, the main battle avatar's divine body was still in perfect condition. This alone made the Lord of Myriad Realms extremely terrifying.

"This Lord of All Realms has just broken through and is not yet well-known!"

The Snow Heaven Palace Master thought to himself, "In this battle, I became his stepping stone! However, this Lord of Myriad Realms will definitely not be limited to this achievement in the future. Perhaps in the future, a Lord of the Universe will really fall at his hands!"

"This time I perished at the hands of the Lord of All Realms, and all my accumulated efforts over many years were destroyed in an instant!"

Although only the main combat avatar perished this time, it was still a very heavy loss for the Snow Heaven Palace Master.

It would take a very long time just to restore the massive divine power of that clone, not to mention the many treasures lost this time.

"Next, I'll focus on nurturing my own clone, and also find a way to acquire new treasures!"

The Snow Heaven Palace Master couldn't help but think to himself, "This is a good opportunity to cultivate in seclusion within the clan for a while. Who knows, I might create the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord someday!"

"It's a pity I haven't obtained a single Origin-type Treasure yet, otherwise the speed at which I can create clones would be much faster!"

Primal treasures offer no enhancement to offensive power or personal defense, but for a true powerhouse and the forces behind them, their value may even surpass that of soul-type, domain-type, and palace-type treasures.

And so, after sending many messages to the powerful members of the Crystal Clan Alliance and some cosmic venerables of the Snow Sky Clan, the Snow Sky Palace Master began his long cultivation career!
In fact, for powerful beings at the level of the Lord of the Universe, a single seclusion lasting hundreds of millions or even billions of epochs is a very common occurrence!

This time, the Snow Heaven Palace Master suffered a great loss at the hands of Lu Qingshan. Even after hundreds of billions of eras, his overall strength (mainly his treasures) may not be able to recover to its original state.

But he is already very lucky to have a clone and the opportunity to make a comeback.

……

Inside the fourth level of the God-Slaying Hall.

Once the aftershocks of the Snow Heaven Palace Master's self-destruction subsided, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and collected all the treasures left behind by the Snow Heaven Palace Master into his own hands.

"I actually killed a cosmic lord!"

Looking at the numerous treasures that flew in front of him, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

It should be noted that in the entire primordial universe, there were only a few hundred cosmic rulers.

Most universe masters, including those within the human race, have never killed a universe master.

Although Lu Qingshan's victory this time was somewhat unfair, a win is a win.

Just like in the original novel, after Luo Feng entered the Beast God Realm, he exhausted the Demon Sword Venerable with his enormous divine body and many precious treasures.

No matter what methods are used, as long as the opponent can be killed, that's enough.

Of course, after killing the Snow Heaven Palace Master, Lu Qingshan immediately learned that the other party had a clone.

Because these treasures left behind after the fall of the Snow Heaven Palace Master still bear the imprint of divine power. If the Snow Heaven Palace Master had completely perished, these imprints of divine power would definitely have disappeared.

Moreover, if the Snow Heaven Palace Master were nearby, he could retrieve many treasures with just a thought.

However, his other clone is currently extremely far away, not even on the original star, so naturally he cannot retrieve the many treasures.

With just a little effort, Lu Qingshan could easily break the divine imprint left by the Snow Heaven Palace Master in the treasure.

hum!hum!hum!
In an instant, Lu Qingshan released several streams of divine power that entered the treasures and world ring in front of him.

After a while...

puff!puff!puff!
The divine imprints left by the Snow Heaven Palace Master in the treasure and the World Ring were all conquered by Lu Qingshan.

"A top-tier treasured battle sword, a top-tier treasured armor, a common treasure of the flying palace type, and several other treasures!"

Imprinting his divine power mark onto the numerous treasures, Lu Qingshan quickly determined their value: "It seems that the Snow Heaven Palace Master returned all the other treasures to his clan's territory before entering the God-Slaying Hall. As for the other treasures, he must have obtained them in the first few levels of the God-Slaying Hall, but now they all belong to me!"

"All these treasures combined are definitely worth more than three hundred Treasure Points!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile: "Killing the Lord of the Universe is still more profitable, but unfortunately, it's still too difficult to kill the Lord of the Universe!"

Lu Qingshan was able to kill the Snow Heaven Palace Master this time because of the special environment inside the God-Slaying Hall, which made it impossible for the opponent to escape or ask other powerful figures for help.
Secondly, it was also because Lu Qingshan carried a massive amount of divine power reserves with him. If it weren't for the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar, Lu Qingshan wouldn't have been able to kill the Snow Heaven Palace Master, let alone be killed by him!
With a combination of special conditions, Lu Qingshan was able to successfully kill the Snow Heaven Palace Master, who was only an avatar of the opponent.

If it were a universe master without the ability to create clones, their ability to survive would probably be even more terrifying. Even if Lu Qingshan still had many advantages, it would probably be difficult for him to kill the opponent!
hum!
After examining the many treasures left behind by the Snow Heaven Palace Master, Lu Qingshan quickly released a wisp of divine power that seeped into the ancient golden bronze bell located in the central region of the world.

But to his surprise, after he imprinted his life mark on that ancient bronze bell, he received no message.

"This……"

A new thought quickly flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind: "It seems that this should be a component of that top-tier domain-type treasure, the Divine Array Diagram!"

It should be noted that before the Temple of Gods Execution was opened, the stone tablet that appeared in advance already contained a lot of information about the top-level domain treasure 'Gods Execution Array Diagram' that was about to be revealed.

The God-Slaying Array Diagram consists of the core component 'Array Diagram' and twelve array artifacts.

A single array artifact is only equivalent to an ordinary supreme treasure, but the commotion it causes upon its birth is comparable to that of a high-grade supreme treasure.

A single array diagram is only equivalent to an ordinary domain-type treasure. Its power increases with each array artifact it is fused with. If all twelve array artifacts are collected, the power of the God-Slaying Array Diagram will probably be comparable to the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River.

The stone tablet also contained some simple information about the array diagram and the twelve array artifacts, one of which was shaped like an ancient bronze bell.

"I obtained one of the array artifacts from the God-Slaying Array Diagram on this level, so perhaps other powerful individuals will also be able to obtain one!" After waving his hand to put the ancient bronze bell into the world ring he carried with him, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "It seems that in addition to the most precious array diagram, some of the twelve array artifacts will also appear in the God-Slaying Hall this time!"

"I wonder if the next floor is the last floor!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan, who had hidden inside the Chaos Returning Ruins Tower, quickly flew into the vortex passage leading to the next level.

……

After entering the vortex passage, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at the fifth level of the God-Slaying Hall.

At the center of this space, there is a strange array that exudes an astonishing pressure.

The array diagram was entirely golden, and it had twelve different phantom images on it. One of the phantom images was exactly the same as the ancient bronze bell that Lu Qingshan had obtained in the previous space.

"It seems this must be the main component of the God-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

Looking at the golden array diagram in front of him, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I wonder if I'll have a chance to get my hands on it this time!"

As various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, the transparent light barrier blocking his body quickly dissipated.

After all, he had fought for more than a day on the previous level to kill the Snow Heaven Palace Master, and other powerful figures had probably already arrived at this level.

If it weren't for the rules within the Temple of Gods Execution, the battle for the treasures might have already ended by the time he entered this level.

Just after the light screen in front of him dissipated, Lu Qingshan quickly saw three towering figures emanating terrifying auras, scattered in different directions.

"Are they all lords of the universe?"

Lu Qingshan was slightly startled, but quickly regained his composure.

After all, the treasures that emerge from the God-Slaying Palace are even more precious than ordinary top-tier treasures. In addition, there are a total of sixty-four tokens, so it is perfectly normal for several universe lords to appear.

In addition, the special rules within the God-Slaying Palace mean that the stronger you are, the more likely you are to last until the end.

Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over the three powerful figures, and he quickly recognized their identities: "They are the Lord of the Thorn Ring Alliance, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Clan, and the Lord of the Flint of my Hong Alliance!"

Seeing the Lord of Flint of the Hong Alliance, Lu Qingshan felt much more at ease.

With the Lord of Flint present, the worst-case scenario for the upcoming battles will be a two-on-two situation.

In terms of combat power, the Lord of Flint, who has entered the third tier, is the strongest among the four universe lords.
In terms of energy expenditure, Lu Qingshan, who carries the endless divine sea clone split divine body, has a huge advantage.

Therefore, once the battle begins, he and the Lord of Flint, working together, will definitely be able to completely suppress the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of Dragon Armor.

However, the Heavenly Wolf Palace in the hands of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is much more precious than the Chaos Returning to Nothingness Tower in his own hands, so it is definitely impossible to kill him in the same way he killed the Snow Heaven Palace Master before.

"Lord of Flint!"

After the Lord of Sirius swept his gaze over Lu Qingshan and the other two, he quickly looked at the Lord of Flint and said, "Then the Palace Master of Snow Heaven must have run into you, right? I wonder how you managed to make him give up entering this level?"

At this moment, the auras of the Lord of Flint and the Lord of Dragon Armor appeared undamaged, indicating that they had not encountered a major battle.

In the eyes of the Lord of Sirius, the strength of the Lord of Qiongjia was certainly not enough to make the Lord of Xuetian Palace retreat without a fight, so now only the Lord of Flint was left.

However, after hearing the words of the Lord of Sirius, the Lord of Flint turned his surprised and suspicious gaze toward the Lord of Dragon Armor.

Because he hadn't encountered the Snow Heaven Palace Master on the previous floors, and the meaning Hua Li, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, had just made was also that he hadn't encountered the Snow Heaven Palace Master.

In that case, the only one with the power to make the Snow Heaven Palace Master give up voluntarily is the Lord of the Curly Armor.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Qiongjia, who also did not encounter the Lord of the Snow Heaven Palace, turned his attention to the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Flint.

For a moment, the Lord of Sirius, the Lord of Flint, and the Lord of Qiongjia looked at each other, but none of them paid any attention to Lu Qingshan hiding inside the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower.

After a while...

"The Lord of the Dragon Armor!"

The Lord of Sirius was the first to break the silence, secretly transmitting his voice to the Lord of the Cobra Armor: "Among the three of us universe lords, Flint is the strongest!"

"Although your Qiujiahou clan is not part of my demon alliance, you have always maintained good relations with my demon alliance. Even when you ventured into the outer battlefield, you joined my demon camp!"

"Why don't we join forces and force the Lord of Flint to retreat first? After we obtain the treasure, we can then discuss how to divide it. What do you think?"

"no problem!"

The Lord of the Curly Armor quickly responded telepathically: "Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, if we can force back the Lord of Flint this time, please help me teach that Venerable of Myriad Realms from the Hong Alliance a lesson, kill his avatar, and seize the treasures on his body!"

"Oh?"

After hearing what the Lord of the Dragon Armor said, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although he had had such thoughts before, he quickly asked via telepathy, "Lord of the Dragon Armor, I wonder how that Venerable of Myriad Realms offended you?"

"Humph!"

The Lord of the Qiongjia quickly responded via telepathy: "Back then, one of my clan's Universe Venerables offended the Ancestral God Sect over some trivial matters. This Venerable of Myriad Realms showed no respect to my Qiongjia clan and directly killed Bifeng. Now that we've encountered him again, we must teach him a lesson!"

"It's a pity that my palace-type treasure is only of ordinary level, and it's not enough to suppress the palace-type treasure that the Venerable of Myriad Realms rode in. I can only rely on your Heavenly Wolf Palace!"

"Don't worry!"

The Lord of Sirius immediately responded telepathically: "My Sirius Palace is the finest among high-grade palace treasures. As long as the palace treasure of the Venerable of Myriad Realms is not the finest among high-grade palace treasures, I will be able to suppress it!"

"But before that, the two of us must first force the Lord of Flint to retreat, otherwise, with his support, we definitely won't be able to deal with the Venerable of Myriad Realms!"

“I understand!” The Lord of the Curly Armor quickly nodded in response.

On the other side, the Lord of Flint looked at the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of Qilin with great vigilance, because he also thought that the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of Qilin might join forces to deal with him.

He wasn't afraid of being besieged by the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Dragon Armor, but if they joined forces against him, it would be difficult for him to obtain the main components of the God-Slaying Array Diagram.

Thinking about this, the Lord of Flint couldn't help but look at Lu Qingshan with some disappointment.

Although Lu Qingshan was a powerful figure within the Hong Alliance, he now wished that the Snow Heaven Palace Master was the one appearing on this floor.

In this way, he and the Snow Heaven Palace Master might be able to join forces against the enemy and then continue to plot to seize the treasure.

But now that Lu Qingshan is here, he has no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Flint quickly transmitted his voice to Lu Qingshan: "Venerable One of the Myriad Realms, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Dragon Armor may attack me together later!"

"If that's the case, I'll find a way to stall them for a while, and then you can take the opportunity to seize the treasure!"

"Don't worry, as long as you can obtain the treasure, I will protect you. Moreover, I will also distribute a portion of the treasure to you after we leave. What do you think?"

"This……"

After hearing what the Lord of Flint said, Lu Qingshan hesitated.

That was actually his original plan, but now that the Lord of Flint has taken the initiative to say so and is even willing to create an opportunity for him, he should also take care of the Lord of Flint after he obtains the treasure.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied telepathically, "No problem!"
