Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 386 Exploring the Exchange of Treasures
In a remote region of the universe, within the territory of the powerful Coffin Light Clan.

The Coffin Light Clan possesses two Universe Lords, and their leader, the Coffin Light Lord, has created the strongest secret technique among Universe Lords. Compared to other Universe Lords in the Primordial Universe, their strength is still very powerful, so the Coffin Light Clan holds a very high position in the Primordial Universe.

On an ordinary life-bearing planet on the edge of the Coffin Light Clan's territory, a figure clad in purple-gold armor suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was Lu Qingshan, who had arrived via divine kingdom teleportation and instantaneous teleportation.

"The life forms of the Coffin Light Clan are quite peculiar!"

Looking at the various forms of the Coffin Light Clan members, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Although they are rock-based life forms, they possess souls. I wonder if the Coffin Light Clan has gained or lost out!"

For ordinary strong people, not having a soul is equivalent to having one less weakness. They will not be at risk of being possessed, nor will they be killed or enslaved by soul attacks.
However, some special traditions in the universe can only be received by beings with souls.

Those soulless lives gain some advantages, but also lose some opportunities.

"Hu Ya, you must live up to expectations!"

In a corner of this life-bearing planet, a stellar-level member of the Coffin Clan was encouraging his child: "Strive to break into the top ten in this assessment and go to the Holy City to cultivate. When that happens, our entire clan will be proud of you!"

"Don't worry, Father!"

The member of the Coffin Clan, who also possessed stellar-level strength, confidently declared, "I will definitely break into the top ten and go to the Holy City, or even the Holy Temple, to cultivate!"

Clearly, a grand event is taking place on this life-bearing planet.

Some geniuses at the stellar level were eager to try their luck, hoping to break into the top ten in the assessment and thus gain the qualification to go to the Holy City for cultivation.

"Lord of All Realms!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was casually exploring the Coffin Light Clan on this planet, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Lu Qingshan turned his head to look.

A figure clad in jet-black armor was seen strolling slowly through the outer universe, though its speed appeared slow.

On this life-bearing planet, neither the lord with the strength of a domain lord nor the numerous sophisticated detection instruments could detect even the slightest trace of the other party.

"Lord of the Coffin Light!"

Upon seeing this figure, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "I didn't expect you to choose to meet me in your Jiguang Clan's territory!"

"However, your Coffin Light Clan's mechanism for cultivating future geniuses is quite perfect. Given time, perhaps your Coffin Light Clan will be able to produce a third Universe Lord!"

"Then I shall take your kind words, Lord of All Realms!"

Lord of Coffin Light quickly smiled and said, "In fact, when it comes to cultivating geniuses for the next generation of the race, your human race is the best in the entire primordial universe!"

"Especially the virtual universe that spans all corners of the universe can unite countless lives within the vast territory of your human race, and the utilization of resources can be optimized!"

"The way my Jiguang clan trains its descendants is actually based on the idea of ​​how your human clan trains its geniuses. However, my Jiguang clan does not have a virtual universe, so even the assessments can only be conducted in small areas!"

Upon hearing what the Lord of Coffins said, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile.

The virtual universe is indeed of great help to the human race.

Communication technology in the primitive universe today is divided into two types: one is the various virtual worlds built by most races with the help of intelligent life; the other is the virtual universe of the human race.

The virtual universe is a super secret technique created by the original ancestors of the human race, and it is fundamentally different from the virtual worlds constructed by intelligent life.

In virtual worlds, if the intelligent life form responsible for their construction encounters a problem, the entire virtual world will collapse.
However, the virtual universe of the human race is different. Even if the mechanical race's universe master, who is the core of the processing, falls, the human race can replace him with another AI to take over as the new core of the processing.

Moreover, the virtual worlds constructed by intelligent life forms have a limit to their coverage. Even the most technologically advanced mechanical race can only build virtual worlds that can cover one or two star sectors at most (equivalent to a cosmic kingdom within the human race's territory).

"Sometimes I even think about leading the Coffin Light Clan to join your Hong Alliance!"

The Lord of Coffins exclaimed again, "In this way, my Coffin Clan will also be able to use that incredibly convenient virtual universe!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "If Lord of the Coffin Light is willing to join our Hong Alliance, our human race will certainly welcome you very much!"

"forget it!"

Lord of the Coffin quickly waved his hand and continued, "Not long after the Northern Frontier Alliance was established, Lord of the Black Lotus Clan invited me to join, but I declined!"

"Although you top clans, or even top powers, control vast resources, the struggles between you are also fierce!"

"My Coffin Light Clan relies entirely on me and the Coffin Spirit for support. If something happens to us, it will be questionable whether my Coffin Light Clan can even survive in this universe!"

Upon hearing what the Lord of Coffin said, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Since you, Lord of Coffin, have no intention of joining our Hong Alliance, let's get straight to the point!"

"Alright!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Coffin Light instantly produced an ancient bronze lamp that flickered on and off.

This ancient bronze lamp is entirely blue, with obvious signs of age on its surface. The lamp oil inside, however, appears extremely clear, with ripples spreading out within it. Even without a wick, it continuously emits a flickering light.

"This is the artifact of the God-Slaying Array Diagram that my Thorn Ring Alliance possesses!"

The Lord of Coffins looked at the ancient bronze lamp in his hand and sighed, "When the Primordial Star opened, it was obtained by a cosmic overlord of the Water Clan, and then it came into the hands of the Lord of Water Clan!"

"After I learned of this news, I had to pay a great price to exchange it from the Lord of the Waters!"

"As for these two high-grade treasures, I obtained them on the original star!"

With a thought, the Lord of Coffins summoned another silver spear and a blood-red battle blade beside the bronze lamp.

"Now they belong to you, Lord of All Realms!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Coffin Light quickly waved his hand and presented three treasures, including the ancient bronze lamp, to Lu Qingshan.

He wasn't worried that Lu Qingshan would go back on his word and simply take all the treasures.

Because now is not the time to roam the universe and fight for treasures, but rather the exchange conditions have already been agreed upon.

A mere component of a top-tier palace-type treasure might be quite valuable to an ordinary universe lord, but it's certainly insignificant to the entire human race and not worth risking the human race's reputation for.

"This is already the ninth part!"

At this moment, Lu Qingshan paid no attention to the silver spear and the blood-red battle blade, but focused all his attention on the ancient bronze lamp.

It should be noted that in the past period, most of his wealth had been used to exchange for other components of the God-Slaying Array Diagram.

After exchanging numerous treasures and items that could enhance his life's genetic level in the human race's treasury, he only had a little over one hundred treasure points left.

In the subsequent process of exchanging for other parts of the God-Slaying Formation Diagram, the cost for each part is between thirty and forty Treasure Points.

Over the past period, he has exchanged the five major components of the God-Slaying Array Diagram from other forces in the Primordial Universe, which alone cost him more than 170 Treasure Points.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Lu Qingshan also obtained some resources by resurrecting the Universe Venerable within his clan.

Although those Cosmic Venerables might not be able to afford the cost of resurrection immediately after their resurrection, this cost is temporarily lent out by the entire human race. Therefore, Lu Qingshan can obtain corresponding Treasure Points for each Cosmic Venerable he resurrects.

If it weren't for this, he would probably have needed to borrow treasure points from the Lord of Ice Peak to exchange for the Obsidian Tower component from the human race's treasury.

Of course, while various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, he also quickly waved his hand and took out the Obsidian Tower component he had previously exchanged.

"Lord of the Coffin, this is the Obsidian Tower component in the hands of my human race!"

Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and presented the black, spire-shaped treasure he had just taken out to the Lord of Coffin Light.

"that's it!"

Looking at the black, spire-shaped treasure before him, the Lord of Coffins couldn't help but show excitement.

It's important to know that when he first obtained the main components of the Obsidian Tower, it was during the opening of the Primal Star more than 20 billion epochs ago.

Since then, he has been thinking about collecting all the main components of the Obsidian Tower.

Now, more than 20 billion epochs have passed, and even the Primordial Star has been opened twice more. He has finally collected all the components of the Obsidian Tower. Once the Obsidian Tower is restored to its complete state, its power will be quite impressive even among top-tier palace-type treasures.

With such a supreme treasure protecting him, he will be much safer when he travels through the universe.

"Lord of the Coffin Light!"

After handing over the Obsidian Tower components to the Lord of the Coffin, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "Now that the transaction is complete, I won't linger any longer!"

"it is good!"

At this moment, the Lord of Coffins had just gathered the main components of the Obsidian Tower and was only thinking about quickly verifying the power of the Obsidian Tower after it was restored to its complete state. Naturally, he didn't have much time to entertain Lu Qingshan.

So he quickly said, "Lord of all realms, if you have any free time in the future, please feel free to visit my Coffin Light Clan!"

"no problem!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then immediately used teleportation to disappear from the spot.

……

Just as Lu Qingshan was heading to the territory of the Coffin Light Clan to exchange treasures with the Lord of Coffin Light...

On the edge of the human race's territory, within the borders of the Qingyao Universe Kingdom, lies a rather dangerous cosmic secret realm.

At this moment, Lawrence and two other cosmic overlords of the human race are exploring this secret realm.

In fact, Lawrence's achievements in comprehending the laws at this time were not very high, but with his life gene level of up to two thousand times, as well as the many treasures bestowed upon him by Lu Qingshan after obtaining the God-Slaying Array Diagram, he also possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord.

So after resting and recuperating in his clan's territory for a while and getting familiar with the power of the treasure, Lawrence soon accepted the invitation from other cosmic overlords of the human race to venture into this cosmic secret realm.

Although this secret cosmic realm is quite dangerous, it is relatively safe for cosmic overlords like them.

So Lawrence and his two companions chatted constantly while exploring the secret realms of the universe.

"Lawrence!"

While carefully surveying the surroundings, Venerable Yanxin from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance said to Lawrence, "The Lord of All Realms is really good to you!"

“When we encountered the Demon Clan's Dragon Emperor Venerable before, if it weren't for you relying on your high-grade treasure armor to withstand his attacks, we would have suffered a great loss!”

The Dragon Emperor Venerable is an extremely powerful cosmic overlord in the demon race camp. He not only possesses a high-level treasure weapon, but also created the ultimate secret technique of the cosmic overlord that matches his weapon.

In addition, the Dragon Emperor Venerable's divine body was quite large, which naturally put a lot of pressure on the three of them, including the Flame Heart Venerable.

At this critical moment, it was Lawrence who, relying on his enormous divine body and astonishing defense, managed to entangle with the Dragon Emperor Venerable.

The Dragon Emperor was no match for Lawrence, who possessed a high-grade treasure armor and whose divine body was far larger than his own. After several rounds of fighting, he chose to retreat, and Lawrence and his companions were finally out of danger.

"My teacher has truly been incredibly kind to me!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yanxin's words, Lawrence quickly responded earnestly.

You should know that if it weren't for Lu Qingshan's help, he would never have had the chance to possess this special life form with a life gene level two thousand times higher.

Without this special life clone, even if he broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable, he would only be an ordinary initial Universe Venerable. How could he be qualified to venture to that primordial star, and how could he obtain the token of the God-Slaying Palace?
Not to mention how he has acquired such terrifying strength in such a short period of time!
"To be honest, I sometimes really envy you, Lawrence!"

Venerable Yanxin continued with a smile, "Look at you now, you have both a high-grade treasure weapon and a high-grade treasure armor!"

"After years of hard work, all I have now is a set of ordinary supreme treasure weapons and armor. I'm still a long way from exchanging them for a high-level supreme treasure weapon!"

It should be noted that as one of the universe's overlords among the human race, Venerable Yanxin rarely envies other powerful individuals.

But now, he is very envious of Lawrence.

After all, Lawrence is far inferior to him in terms of understanding the laws and creating his own secret techniques. But if he really fought desperately, even if he exhausted all his divine power, he would not be able to pose much of a threat to Lawrence.

While Venerable Yanxin and Lawrence were chatting...

"Yanxin, Lawrence, come quick, look here!"

The 'Crimson Light Venerable' who had been releasing divine power to explore the surrounding environment quickly transmitted his voice to the two of them.

After hearing the transmission from Venerable Crimson Light, Venerable Yanxin and Lawrence quickly followed Venerable Crimson Light's gaze to investigate.

Deep underground, there was a rather large spatial vortex.

"This is……"

Lawrence sensed the spatial vortex that was constantly absorbing and releasing energy, and he was slightly alarmed: "A spatial wormhole?"

"A teleportation channel?" Venerable Yanxin's face was also full of surprise.

You should know that they had been exploring this cosmic secret realm for a long time and had never encountered a single spatial vortex.

"Among all the information I've gathered, there's absolutely no information about this spatial vortex!"

Venerable Yanxin quickly and solemnly said, "It seems that this spatial vortex is either newly appeared or something that our human race's powerful members have never discovered before!"

"I wonder where this spatial vortex leads?"

The Crimson Light Venerable looked at Lawrence and Flame Heart Venerable and asked, "Flame Heart, Lawrence, shall we go and take a chance?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Venerable Yanxin quickly nodded and said, "We venture into the secret realms of the universe for opportunities and treasures. Now that such an opportunity may be right before our eyes, how can we back down because of this?"

“I’ll go too!” Lawrence nodded in agreement.

With his current strength, he could even survive if he encountered a top-tier cosmic overlord.

Moreover, he has a hidden trump card, which might allow him to hold his own against even an ordinary universe master. Therefore, he naturally has no fear when faced with such an opportunity.

After discussing it, Lawrence and his two companions quickly rushed into the huge spatial vortex.

With a shift in space, Lawrence and his two companions soon appeared at the edge of a vast hall.

"here it is……"

Looking at the unusual surroundings, Lawrence and his two companions were somewhat bewildered.

Just then, an extremely peculiar aura suddenly spread out, and Lawrence and the other two immediately released their divine power to investigate.

In the very heart of this vast hall, there stood a high platform made of bluestone, upon which sat a majestic figure, cross-legged in meditation.

The figure was over a thousand kilometers tall and exuded an extremely powerful aura, but it was devoid of any life force.

"Who is this?"

Lawrence sensed the towering figure ahead through his divine power, and was completely bewildered.

He noticed that the oppressive aura emanating from that figure was remarkably similar to that of his teacher, Lu Qingshan: "Could this be a fallen cosmic lord?"

"This is the chosen one!"

Just then, Venerable Yanxin's excited voice rang in the ears of Lawrence and Venerable Chiguang.

Upon hearing this, Lawrence quickly found a lot of information about the Lord of Destiny through the virtual universe.

This chosen one was a unique and special life form, and even possessed the extremely rare ability to create clones. He was undoubtedly a renowned figure in the original universe.

However, news later spread throughout the universe that the Lord of Destiny had perished. Although its authenticity could not be confirmed, the Lord of Destiny had indeed disappeared from the universe for a long time, so many powerful figures speculated that the Lord of Destiny had fallen.
