Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 370 The Calm Hoggs, the Thunder Illusion Venerable

The Star Prison Demon Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable had both cultivated for a longer time than the Azure Phoenix Lord, and both of them possessed clones. Therefore, before the Azure Phoenix Lord broke through, their overall strength was stronger than that of the Azure Phoenix Lord.

What they didn't expect was that the Azure Phoenix Lord, whose cultivation time was shorter than theirs, was the first to break through to the Universe Lord realm!
And so, the three Star Prison Demon Lords chatted and drank idly.

Suddenly, they all received an email from Venerable Emperor Hui.

"Hui Di's email?"

The three Venerable Ancestor Trees were slightly taken aback, and then they all opened the emails.

But after reading the email, they were all stunned, because the email described many things that happened after Lu Qingshan broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

"This...how is this possible?"

Coming to his senses, the Star Prison Demon Lord couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How long has it been? The Venerable of Myriad Realms has actually broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe?"

"This is indeed somewhat unbelievable!"

Venerable Ancestral Tree quickly exclaimed, "However, it seems that the Lord of Myriad Realms must have already broken through before venturing into the God-Slaying Palace, which gave him the opportunity to kill the Snow Heaven Palace Master and seize the final God-Slaying Array Diagram!"

"Yes!"

The Star Domain Demon Lord picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He then couldn't help but exclaim, "I never expected that the one who broke through after the Azure Phoenix Lord wasn't any of the three of us, but rather the Lord of Myriad Realms. This is truly unbelievable!"

Listening to the Star Domain Demon Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable's sighs, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's feelings were extremely complicated.

First of all, as Lu Qingshan's good friend, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master was very happy that Lu Qingshan was able to break through to the Universe Master realm.

But when he reminisced about the past, his feelings became extremely complicated.

When he first met Lu Qingshan, he had won first place in the Peak Genius Battle, and Lu Qingshan, as a member of the transportation department of the Virtual Universe Company, was responsible for escorting him to the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters on the continent.

Although Lu Qingshan was already an immortal god at that time, as a member of the Primal Secret Realm, he was not too afraid, but only showed a certain degree of respect.

It was this experience that led to a certain friendship between him and Lu Qingshan.

After cultivating for thousands of years, he surpassed Lu Qingshan in his understanding of the laws. Even when he was at the Realm Lord level, he was able to easily kill Lu Qingshan, who was already an immortal god.

In the days that followed, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace broke through to become an immortal god after tens of thousands of years, reaching the peak of the King title upon breakthrough, and then further broke through to become a Universe Venerable after hundreds of thousands of years.

At the banquet where he broke through to become a King-level Immortal and a Universe Venerable, he invited Lu Qingshan, whose strength had already improved, and even wanted to give Lu Qingshan some guidance.

However, Lu Qingshan refused to serve under him at the time, and he didn't care much about it afterward.

After all, with his strength constantly improving by leaps and bounds, as time goes by, Lu Qingshan will never see him again.

However, what the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace did not expect was that not long after he became the Universe Venerable, he began to hear Lu Qingshan's name again and again.

First, he became an immortal king, with the title of King of Myriad Realms;

Later, he became an invincible king, renowned throughout the battlefields beyond the realms;

Not long after, Lu Qingshan broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm;
As time went by, Lu Qingshan, who had broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, continued to grow stronger, and in terms of realm alone, he was already almost on par with him.

Even now, Lu Qingshan has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe before him.

Such a shocking event must have had a tremendous impact on the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Because he and Lu Qingshan were contemporaries, and his talent far surpassed Lu Qingshan's.

But now Lu Qingshan has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, while he is still stuck at the stage of the Venerable of the Universe.

"I never imagined that he would have already broken through to become the Lord of the Universe!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at the Star Prison Demon Lord and the Ancestral Tree Venerable and said, "Star Prison, Ancestral Tree, since the Azure Phoenix Lord and the Lord of Myriad Realms can break through, then we certainly can too!"

"As long as we continue to cultivate diligently, I believe that one day we will definitely reach the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Eclipse, you're right!"

The Star Prison Demon Lord raised his glass again and said, "The three of us will definitely break through in the future! But for now, let's raise our glasses together to celebrate the Lord of All Realms and to celebrate the even greater strength of our human race!"

"Correct!"

"Congratulations to the human race for gaining another super strong individual!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and Venerable Ancestral Tree nodded in agreement, and then raised their glasses in celebration.

However, after the celebration ended, the three members of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace quickly ended the gathering and returned to their respective cultivation grounds to cultivate.

After all, Lu Qingshan's talent and comprehension were inferior to theirs, and now he was able to break through to the Universe Master realm ahead of them, which was a great encouragement to them.

……

Inside a magnificent temple on Lu Qingshan's exclusive plane in the virtual universe.

"According to intelligence from my Virtual Universe Company, the Merman Marquis has been enslaved by a powerful demon, and his three immortal gods have all become his accomplices!"

"Fortunately, the head of the intelligence department, Shadow Monarch, has a good relationship with the teacher, so he entrusted this matter to us to handle ourselves!"

At this moment, Hoggs looked at the immortal king in front of him and said, "Dragonheart King, please take care of this matter!"

"I have just passed on the specific information that the intelligence department sent me to you. You must kill that Fishman Lord and all his henchmen. If necessary, you can mobilize the army within the territory of the Myriad Worlds Universe Kingdom to assist you!"

"I see!"

Dragonheart King quickly nodded and said, "I will set off immediately for the Myriad Realms Universe Kingdom to organize the operation!"

“Alright!” Hoggs nodded slightly, and after watching Dragonheart King leave the hall, he began to prepare to deal with the next trivial matter.

After all, he is currently in charge of handling the trivial matters under Lu Qingshan's command, so he is usually quite busy.

But at this moment...

"Brother!"

A burly figure suddenly appeared in the main hall.

Hoggs looked up and quickly recognized the person as Lawrence, the first disciple of Lu Qingshan's Universe Venerable, who was now considered a High-Level Universe Venerable.

"Lawrence!"

Hoggs was slightly surprised to see Lawrence suddenly find him: "Didn't the teacher say you were busy venturing into a dangerous place recently? How come you suddenly have time to come here?"

"Senior brother, this is wonderful news!"

Upon hearing Hoggs's words, Lawrence immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Just now, our teacher has stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe, becoming one of the most powerful beings in the vast universe!"

"Furthermore, the teacher also annihilated another universe lord, although it was only an avatar, which is something that many universe lords could not do!"

"This event has just occurred, so currently only the Cosmic Venerables of our human race are aware of it!"

"I came to inform you immediately after I learned about this. As for the teacher's family, Junior Brother Mingrui will handle that!"

"So that's it!"

Hoggs nodded slightly after hearing Lawrence's words.

Although he also had a smile on his face, he wasn't as excited as Lawrence.

Hoggs then quickly said, "I'll gather all the junior disciples under our teacher's command right now and share this good news with everyone!"

"This……"

Seeing Hoggs's expression, Lawrence was somewhat surprised, and then couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Hoggs, it's definitely a big deal that Teacher broke through to the Universe Lord realm this time, but you don't seem too excited!"

"Of course I'm happy that the teacher made a breakthrough!"

Hoggs quickly smiled and said, "However, Junior Brother Lawrence, if I told you that I knew all along that our teacher would break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, would you believe me?"

"How can this be?"

Lawrence quickly shook his head and said, "Our teacher must have just broken through. How did you know in advance, senior brother?"

"I'm not saying I know about the teacher's breakthrough!"

Hoggs quickly continued, "But I believe that the teacher is definitely capable of becoming the master of the universe!"

"This……"

Lawrence was stunned after hearing Hoggs's words; he really hadn't expected Hoggs to think that way.

"Junior brother, you haven't experienced enough yet!"

Hoggs quickly smiled and said, "When you break through again in the future, you might believe what I'm saying!"

"Back when you were still a World Lord, I became your disciple!"

"In the days that followed, I personally witnessed my teacher break through from a Realm Lord to an Immortal, then be granted the title of Marquis, King, and even step into the Universe Venerable realm!" "Even I was nurtured by my teacher from an Immortal Military Lord to an Immortal King! The terror of my teacher is far beyond your imagination!"

"Now that you have broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, it is just a natural progression in my eyes!"

"This……"

Lawrence fell silent after hearing Hoggs's words.

Actually, he felt that Hoggs's words were somewhat wrong, but he didn't know how to refute them, because what Hoggs said seemed to be true.

"All right!"

Hoggs continued, "Junior brother, you'll get used to it after your teacher breaks through a few more times!"

"I'll gather all my fellow disciples right now, and then we'll all go to Brother Hongwen's place to celebrate with our teacher. We can also wait for him to summon us there!"

“Okay!” Lawrence quickly nodded and said.

……

Eleventh battlefield outside the region, inside the No. 001 military base.

At this moment, Venerable Yaoguang was in the control room, and then looked expectantly at King Leihuan, who was sitting quietly on the ground not far away.

Meanwhile, King Lei Huan was completely absorbed in his cultivation.

He originally came to the extraterritorial battlefield intending to compete for a rare and precious treasure that had just emerged. However, after a fierce battle with the alien powerhouse, he suddenly gained some insight, so he went directly to his teacher, Venerable Yaoguang, to begin his secluded cultivation.

"Lei Huan has been stuck at the peak of the King-level realm for countless years!"

Venerable Yaoguang looked at King Leihuan, who was meditating in peace: "Over the past long period of time, Qingshan has put in a lot of effort to help his teacher break through to the Universe Venerable realm, and the treasures he has consumed are probably worth two or three thousand heavy treasure points. Leihuan should break through now!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Venerable Radiant Light's mind...

Rumble!
A vast aura of primordial laws descended instantly.

The core area where this aura of primordial laws descended was the place where Lei Huanwang, the leader of the No. 001 military camp, cultivated in seclusion.

"This is……"

Upon sensing the arrival of the fundamental laws, a hint of joy flashed across Venerable Radiance's face. Then, with a wave of his hand, King Thunder Illusion and he appeared outside the military base.

"Teacher!" Lei Huanwang called out quickly after regaining his senses.

Venerable Yaoguang immediately transmitted his voice, "Never mind anything else, focus on absorbing energy to transform your divine body, leave the rest to me!"

"is teacher!"

After saying this, King Lei Huan no longer cared about anything else and looked up directly at the sky.

A massive tri-colored vortex appeared directly above Lei Huanwang's head. In an instant, light, lightning, and the aura of the wind's primal law combined, instantly drawing upon an even more noble aura of the time's primal law.

At the core of the tri-colored vortex above Lei Huanwang's head lies a void space, connected to the mysterious origin of the universe.

At this moment, boundless divine power poured down from the origin of the universe and surged into the body of Thunder Illusion King.

However, Lei Huanwang's divine body is only a little over two meters tall. Even though his life gene level has been raised to twenty times that of ordinary life in the universe with Lu Qingshan's help, the energy he can absorb is still very limited.

So in just a moment, Lei Huanwang's divine body had already completed its transformation, and then the three-colored vortex in the void disappeared into thin air, and all fluctuations quickly dissipated.

"Someone has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm?"

"Who broke through?"

"Let's go over and take a look!"

One after another, the immortal kings who had been granted titles filed out of the military base, eager to see who had broken through to the next level.

At this moment, Venerable Yaoguang released a terrifying pressure and then looked at the group of King-level Immortals, saying, "Step back!"

"Yes!"

"As ordered!"

After feeling the terrifying pressure from Venerable Radiance, the group of Immortal Kings who had come to watch the spectacle all retreated.

At this moment, Venerable Lei Huan, who had just completed his breakthrough, was extremely excited: "I've broken through! After countless years of cultivation, I have finally broken through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

At this moment, Venerable Yaoguang quickly flew to Venerable Leihuan's side: "Leihuan, congratulations on entering the realm of Universe Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei Huan immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "This disciple thanks Master for protecting this disciple!"

"Haha, it's just a small matter!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said, "Lei Huan, how much of your divine body has been transformed during this breakthrough?"

"This disciple's divine body is rather small!"

Lei Huan Venerable quickly replied, "So this time the conversion was about ninety percent!"

"It's alright!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said, "Now that you've broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, all three generations of us, master and disciple, are finally Cosmic Venerables!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei Huan quickly and solemnly replied, "I owe my success today primarily to your guidance, Master!"

"Hahaha!"

Venerable Yaoguang immediately smiled and said, "My teachings are certainly important, but your success today is also inseparable from your own efforts!"

"Moreover, Qingshan has put a lot of effort into you. The treasures he prepared for you are something that even many high-level universe venerables might not be able to gather even if they went bankrupt!"

"This disciple truly owes Qingshan a great debt!"

Lei Huan Venerable quickly said, "Fortunately, I have finally broken through, and I haven't wasted Qingshan's efforts!"

“That’s true!” Venerable Yaoguang nodded slightly.

But at that moment, Venerable Yaoguang suddenly received an email from his friend, Venerable Huidi.

"Hui Di's email?"

A thought struck Venerable Yaoguang, and he immediately opened the email in front of him.

But after he finished reading the email, he was stunned, because the email contained a lot of information about Lu Qingshan's breakthrough to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Venerable Lei Huan asked quickly after seeing Venerable Yao Guang's expression.

After hearing what Venerable Lei Huan said, Venerable Yao Guang, who had regained his senses, immediately granted Venerable Lei Huan permission to view the emails, and then sighed, "Lei Huan, you should see it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Lei Huan quickly looked at the illusory screen in front of Venerable Yao Guang.

After reading the email message on the virtual screen, Venerable Lei Huan was immediately stunned.

"This this……"

After a moment, Venerable Lei Huan, having regained his senses, asked directly, "Teacher, is this true?"

"Of course!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, "Given Emperor Hui's personality, he would never send out such a clear email if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes!"

"Furthermore, other cosmic venerables have now confirmed the authenticity of this news through other channels!"

“Then, then Qingshan…” Venerable Lei Huan was still in shock.

He was still excited about his advancement to the level of a Universe Venerable, but then his disciple had already advanced to the level of a Universe Lord. This feeling was truly amazing.

"Qingshan's strength is improving at an incredibly fast pace!"

Even Venerable Radiance couldn't help but sigh, "He was like this when he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm. I never imagined that even the Universe Lord realm wouldn't be a challenge for him now!"

Thinking of this, Venerable Yaoguang couldn't help but look at Venerable Leihuan beside him and sighed, "Leihuan, the wisest thing you've ever done in your life was taking Qingshan as your disciple!"

"That's what I think too!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Venerable Leihuan quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "If I hadn't personally witnessed the rise of Qingshan, I would never have believed that an Immortal Military Lord could break through to become a Universe Lord within a hundred billion epochs of time!"

"Yes!"

Venerable Yaoguang quickly exclaimed, "Qingshan's path of cultivation is truly awe-inspiring!"

"Just watch, Qingshan has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe. Your good days are yet to come!"
