Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 388 Arrival
In the secluded retreat of the Lord of Destiny.

boom!
The binding power within the surrounding space-time suddenly surged, and Lawrence, Venerable Yanxin, and Venerable Chiguang seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand.

Fortunately, all three of them were powerful Universe Venerables, and they were all wearing supreme armor, so the power of the Universe Lord controlling a spacetime was not enough to kill them directly.

Furthermore, Lawrence and his two companions had already burned their divine power, which allowed them to put up some resistance for a time.

"Lord of Black Scales!"

Sensing the continuous depletion of his divine body, Venerable Yanxin quickly said loudly, "The three of us are willing to give up the opportunities here, please spare us!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yanxin's words, Lawrence frowned slightly.

Since he had already informed his teacher, the Lord of All Realms, of the news, it would be a great pity to give up this opportunity.

However, Lawrence did not object, because he was unsure whether Lu Qingshan would arrive in time to save them.

After all, with the Black Scale Lord controlling a certain space-time, it would be impossible for Lu Qingshan to arrive quickly.

By the time Lu Qingshan arrives, they may have already been killed or suppressed by the Lord of Black Scales.

If the Lord of Black Scales is willing to let them go, it would be worth it even if it meant giving up this rare opportunity.

But at this moment...

"The little insects of the human race!"

The Black Scale Lord's voice quickly rang in Lawrence and the other two's ears: "You actually think you can get away with this? You're dreaming!"

With that, the Lord of Black Scales quickly flew towards the direction where Lawrence and the other two were.

Although he was the supreme ruler of the universe, he could not kill Lawrence and his two companions, who possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord, simply by controlling the power of a region's spacetime.

Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang were quite alarmed after hearing the words of the Lord of Black Scales.

Their two divine bodies were only a dozen meters tall, and they wore ordinary supreme treasure armor. Under the control of the Black Scale Lord, they might be able to hold out for a while, but if the Black Scale Lord got close and attacked them, a single casual move would be enough to kill them.

"Lawrence, Crimson Light!"

Venerable Yanxin quickly transmitted his voice to his two companions and asked, "It seems that the Lord of Black Scales is not going to let us go. What should we do now?"

"Don't worry, you two!"

Lawrence quickly transmitted his voice to Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang, saying, "I have informed our teacher about what happened here. I believe our teacher will be able to arrive in time!"

"The Lord of All Realms?"

"The Lord of All Realms is coming?"

After hearing Lawrence's words, both Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang showed hope on their faces.

Although Lu Qingshan is a newly promoted universe lord among the human race, they had heard about how he overpowered many universe lords on the original star and even killed the Snow Heaven Palace Master's avatar.

So when they heard that Lu Qingshan was on his way, they were indeed relieved.

"I wonder if the Lord of All Realms will be able to arrive in time?" Venerable Yanxin couldn't help but think to himself.

"Everyone!"

But at that moment, the voice of the Crimson Light Venerable rang out again in the minds of the Flame Heart Venerable and Lawrence: "Since the Lord of All Realms is about to arrive, we can no longer sit idly by and wait for our doom!"

"Since the Lord of Black Scales doesn't intend to let us go, why don't we try to seize the divine body and treasures left behind by the Lord of Destiny after his fall? If the Lord of All Realms can't arrive in time, we can at least destroy some resources!"

"it is good!"

"Just do it!"

Upon hearing Venerable Crimson Light's words, both Venerable Flame Heart and Lawrence were moved.

The reason they were willing to give up this opportunity was simply because they knew they were no match for the Lord of Black Scales, and they had no choice but to do so in order to save their lives.

Now that the Lord of Black Scales has no intention of letting them go, they naturally won't be as subservient as before.

Moreover, if they can actually seize the treasure and successfully wait for Lu Qingshan, the Lord of All Realms, to arrive with their support, then even if they give the lion's share to Lu Qingshan, their gains this time will be substantial enough.

With this in mind, Lawrence and his two companions quickly sprang into action.

They each used their own methods, no longer caring about the special techniques that the Lord of Destiny might have left behind, and began to rapidly approach the divine body left behind after the Lord of Destiny's fall.

"That's practically courting death!"

Upon seeing Lawrence and his companions' actions, the Lord of Black Scales let out a cold snort and then began to slow down their speed by influencing spacetime.

However, the spacetime within the Lord of Destiny's secluded cultivation place was quite unique, and with Lawrence and the other two also using spatial sealing, even the Lord of the Universe could not quickly approach through teleportation.

Therefore, if the Lord of Black Scales wanted to get there, he could only fly there slowly.

He was quite far from the divine body of the Lord of Destiny. If he hadn't slowed down Lawrence and his companions, they might have actually been able to reach the vicinity of the Lord of Destiny's divine body before he arrived.

Of course, even if Lawrence and his two companions managed to seize the divine body of the Lord of Destiny after his fall before the Lord of Black Scales, he would still have enough strength to kill him.

Thus, due to the distance, the two sides were locked in a stalemate for a short period of time.

The Lord of Black Scales was quite far from the remains of the Lord of Destiny, but its speed was not affected at all. It was able to approach the body at near-light speed (light speed would enter the dark universe, and then it would be unable to control a part of the spacetime in the original universe).
Although Lawrence and his two companions were quite close, they still had to break through layers of obstacles imposed by the Lord of Black Scales, which greatly affected their speed, and their divine bodies were also constantly being depleted.

And so, as time passed, the divine bodies of Lawrence and the other two were constantly depleted, but they were getting closer and closer to the divine body of the Lord of Destiny.

Just when Lawrence and his two companions were less than a million kilometers away from the Divine Body of the Lord of Destiny and were about to be able to put it away, they also entered the attack range of the Lord of Black Scales.

"You scum of the human race, die!"

Seeing that the attack range was sufficient, the Lord of Black Scales roared and instantly grasped the black spear on his back.

Wow!

The Lord of Black Scales gripped his spear with one hand and casually thrust it towards the direction where Lawrence and his companions were.

This seemingly ordinary stab caused the entire space-time to tremble slightly, clearly indicating that it was a secret technique containing the principles of space-time.

Then, a black spear light rushed towards the direction where Lawrence and the other two were located. Wherever it passed, the universe shattered layer by layer as if a steel needle had been inserted into tofu, and even a visible spacetime rift appeared.

This terrifying attack was extremely fast and powerful. Even if Lawrence and the other two used secret techniques to resist it, they could not weaken its power much. Therefore, in the end, Lawrence, with his enormous divine body and the strongest defense, could only stand in front of Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang.

Rumble!
The black spear light slammed into Lawrence, instantly annihilating more than 30% of his divine body. Even the Flame Heart Venerable and the Crimson Light Venerable behind him were affected by the remaining power, each losing 10% of their divine bodies.

"The power of the Lord of the Universe is simply too great!"

Lawrence was extremely shocked as he felt the damage to himself.

It should be noted that what he was enduring at this moment was merely a casual attack launched by the Black Scale Lord from an extremely long distance.

But this single attack annihilated more than 30% of his divine body, and even Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang were affected.

Just then, the Lord of Black Scales in the distance once again swung his black spear.

"not good!"

Upon witnessing the Black Scale Lord's actions, Lawrence could no longer be bothered by the shock of the opponent's attack power.

For him, the most important thing now is to save his life before Lu Qingshan arrives.

"Phantom Limitless Shuttle!"

Lawrence had a thought, and a long, spindle-shaped treasure appeared in front of him. It was the flying palace-type treasure that Lu Qingshan had rewarded him with.

As soon as this flying palace-like treasure appeared, it rapidly grew in size, instantly expanding to tens of thousands of kilometers, and then flew directly towards Lawrence's location.

Whoosh!
Lawrence immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the Phantom Infinite Shuttle.

At the same time, he quickly transmitted his voice to Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang: "Yanxin, Chiguang, come in quickly!"

"This is……"

"A palace-type treasure!"

When they saw Lawrence take out a flying palace-type treasure, Venerable Yanxin and Venerable Chiguang were slightly stunned.

It should be noted that flying palace-type treasures are extremely precious. The combined wealth of the two of them probably wouldn't even be worth as much as a single flying palace-type treasure.

Moreover, before Lawrence ventured into the cosmic secret realm with them, he had never mentioned possessing a flying palace-type treasure. However, the fewer people who knew about such a trump card, the better, so they had no objections and transformed into two streaks of light, rushing into the Phantom Limitless Shuttle.

Only after escaping into the Phantom Infinite Shuttle did Lawrence and his two companions finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lawrence, what is this flying palace-type treasure of yours...?" Venerable Yanxin couldn't help but ask.

"This is also a gift from my teacher!"

Lawrence quickly said, "Please forgive me for not informing you two of this before!"

"That's perfectly normal!"

The Crimson Light Venerable quickly smiled and said, "Even if I possessed such a treasure, I wouldn't tell anyone before it was revealed!"

"Yes!"

Venerable Yanxin nodded in agreement, saying, "However, we don't know if it's safe for us to hide in this palace-like treasure!"

"At least hiding will allow us to hold out for longer!"

The Crimson Light Venerable quickly said, "Moreover, the Lord of All Realms is already on his way. We just need to hold out until the Lord of All Realms arrives!"

In the outer universe and starry sky.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing Lawrence and his companions hide inside a flying palace-type treasure, the Black Scale Lord's face quickly showed surprise, but it soon turned into delight: "I didn't expect such an unexpected gain!"

With his strength, although he couldn't break through the defenses of the flying palace-type treasure, he had other ways to deal with Lawrence and his two companions hiding inside the palace-type treasure.

"These three little bugs thought they were safe hiding inside a flying palace-type treasure!"

The Lord of Black Scales sneered, then waved his hand, and a five-story pagoda, entirely black, appeared before him. It was one of his protective treasures, a high-level flying palace-type treasure called the 'Magic Light Pagoda'.

"go with!"

With a thought from the Lord of Black Scales, the pitch-black magic light tower instantly flew above the Phantom Limitless Shuttle and began to frantically absorb its energy.

Rumble!
The powerful suction force acted on the Phantom Limitless Shuttle, instantly making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

Inside the Phantom Infinite Shuttle.

"not good!"

"They're going to be suppressed by the Lord of Black Scales!"

The three of them, Lawrence, all looked flustered.

Faced with the suppression of the Black Scale Lord, they were clearly powerless to resist while hiding inside the Phantom Limitless Shuttle.

However, if they leave the Phantom Shuttle, they will still be completely annihilated by the Black Scale Lord's secret technique.

For the time being, they had no choice but to continue hiding inside the Phantom Infinite Shuttle.

After all, for them, being suppressed is always better than being directly annihilated.

Even if they are ultimately unable to escape, they still have the opportunity to self-destruct.

And so, under the suction of the Magic Light Tower, the Phantom Infinite Shuttle quickly became unable to withstand it.

But just as the Phantom Shuttle was flying towards the Magic Light Tower with the help of the suction power...

hum!
In the vast universe, endless golden light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The golden light directly covered the entire secluded place of the Lord of Destiny, and even spread out to a distance of several light-years, as if it were boundless.

Amidst this endless golden light, countless illusory images of supreme treasures of various shapes constantly moved about.

Swords, longswords, bronze bells, jade flutes, zithers...

Each piece exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

boom! boom! boom!
One after another, the treasures bombarded the Magic Light Tower, and its terrifying absorption power was soon affected.

Under the blessing of that endless golden light, the Phantom Shuttle became more stable and stopped flying towards the Magic Light Tower.

"The God-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

"It's the teacher's God-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

Inside the Phantom Infinite Shuttle, Lawrence and his two companions, who were about to be swallowed up by the Magic Light Tower, all showed expressions of surprise and delight upon seeing this scene.

"The God-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

Upon seeing the endless golden light, the Lord of Black Scales, who was not far away, revealed an ugly expression and roared, "Lord of All Realms, now that you have arrived, why do you not show yourself!"

Suddenly, endless black light burst forth around his divine body, instantly suppressing the endless golden light surrounding him.

However, a tremendous power suddenly erupted from within that endless golden light, suppressing the endless black light emanating from the Black Scale Lord's body.

"This is impossible!"

Sensing the immense pressure emanating from the endless golden light, the Black Scale Lord's face once again showed shock: "This power..."

"Could it be that the Lord of All Realms has already elevated the power of this God-Slaying Array Diagram to the level of a top-tier domain-class treasure?"

The Black Scale Lord was naturally aware that the God-Slaying Array Diagram was a top-tier domain-type treasure that had recently been shut down on the Primordial Star. However, he did not expect that Lu Qingshan would be able to collect so many parts of the God-Slaying Array Diagram in such a short period of time.

This is because it requires not only gathering information on these components, but also negotiating with various forces and preparing a lot of resources for exchange!
In the eyes of the Black Scale Lord, Lu Qingshan was just a Universe Lord who had recently broken through to the next level. Even with the help of the human race behind him, it would be difficult for him to collect all the components of the God-Slaying Array Diagram in a short period of time.

Inside the Phantom Infinite Shuttle.

Having escaped the crisis of falling, Lawrence and his two companions were also intently sensing the outside world, their faces filled with utter shock.

"I never imagined that even before the Lord of All Realms has shown himself, a single supreme treasure would be enough to suppress the Lord of Black Scales!" Venerable Yanxin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes!"

The Crimson Light Venerable also exclaimed, "The Lord of Myriad Realms is truly too powerful! The Black Scale Lord has long since broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, yet he is now being easily suppressed by the Lord of Myriad Realms!"

"The teacher is really amazing!"

Hearing his two friends' exclamations, Lawrence secretly thought to himself, "I wonder when I'll be able to reach the same level of skill as my teacher!"

……

Amidst endless golden light, a figure five hundred kilometers tall, clad in purple-gold armor and carrying a silver longsword, slowly walked from the distant starry sky. It was Lu Qingshan, who had rushed over after receiving Lawrence's message.

"Lord of Black Scales!"

Lu Qingshan's majestic voice boomed directly through the domain formed by the God-Slaying Array Diagram into the Black Scale Lord's ears: "You think you can suppress my disciple?"

"Humph!"

The Lord of Black Scales roared angrily in the direction of Lu Qingshan, "Lord of All Realms, I never imagined that you could elevate the power of this God-Slaying Array Diagram to the level of a top-tier domain-class treasure in such a short time!"

"But you're only relying on this domain-type treasure. Without it, you're nothing in my eyes!"

For the Lord of Black Scales, it was no longer possible for him to suppress or kill Lawrence and the other two under Lu Qingshan's protection. Therefore, his most important task now was to seize the relics left behind by the Lord of Destiny after his fall.

Fortunately, he is now much closer to the divine body of the Lord of Destiny than Lu Qingshan is, so even with the influence of the God-Slaying Array Diagram, he still has enough time to seize the many relics left behind by the Lord of Destiny after his fall.

Therefore, while the Lord of Black Scales roared at Lu Qingshan, he also quickly swung his black spear to break through the domain formed by the God-Slaying Array Diagram, and then flew rapidly towards the direction of the Lord of Destiny's divine body.

"Relics left behind after the fall of the Lord of Destiny?"

Lu Qingshan, who noticed the Black Scale Lord's actions, immediately realized what the other party was thinking.

However, he is indeed very far from the divine body of the Lord of Destiny. Without any other assistance, the Black Scale Lord's speed would definitely be much faster than his.

"but……"

Lu Qingshan's gaze quickly fell on the Phantom Limitless Shuttle, which was closest to the divine body of the Lord of Destiny.
