Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 397 Obtain the treasure
"Alright, you two can leave now!"

The Lord of Heartlessness's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Of course, the Lord of Loss of Heart did not believe that a mere Lord of the Mantis, plus a Universe Lord who had just broken through not long ago, would dare to compete with him for the supreme treasure.

Therefore, at this moment, the heartless lord had already regarded the treasure in front of him, which had not yet been fully revealed, as his own.

It's important to know that when you're adventuring in the cosmic sea, obtaining a treasure usually requires going through many dangers.

Now that such a top-tier treasure has fallen into his hands so easily, he is naturally very happy.

"Even a top-tier treasure weapon is enough to equal my accumulation over hundreds of thousands of years!"

The heartless lord thought to himself, "If this mountain peak is a palace-type treasure, then it is even more precious!"

After hearing the Heartless Lord's words, Lu Qingshan remained relatively calm.

Since he never intended to give away this treasure so easily, he was bound to have a battle with the other party next.

Although the Lord of Heartlessness was very powerful, he was still somewhat inferior to the Lord of All Gods who had attacked him at the time.

Lu Qingshan was already able to fight against the Lord of All Gods before, and now he not only has the supreme treasure armor protecting him, but his life gene level has also been greatly improved, so naturally he is even less afraid of this heartless lord.

However, the Lord of the Mantises on the side showed a look of shock and anger.

"A heartless lord!"

The Lord of the Mantis looked in the direction of the Lord of the Lost Heart, and then said in a deep voice, "We discovered this treasure first, but now that you, Lord of the Lost Heart, have also appeared, we naturally will not keep it all to ourselves!"

"How about we split the spoils equally?"

"Lord of the Mantis!"

After hearing the Lord of the Mantis's words, the Lord of Heartlessness said coldly, "You and this little guy who just broke through not long ago, do you think you're worthy of sharing a treasure with me?"

"The fact that I let you two leave safely is already a favor to the founder of the Hong Alliance's Giant Axe!"

"I advise you two not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! If you really try to compete with me for the supreme treasure, even if you manage to escape in the end, the newly ascended Lord of Myriad Realms beside you will perish at my hands!"

In the eyes of the Lord of Heartlessness, Lu Qingshan was merely a Universe Lord who had only recently broken through to the next level, and his strength was naturally very weak.

With such strength, daring to venture into this cosmic sea is simply courting death.

However, the human race does have one of the strongest beings in the universe, and Lu Qingshan also has a rather troublesome Lord of the Mantis by his side, so he did not intend to make a move against Lu Qingshan.

However, if they were to actually fight, even if Lu Qingshan and his companion didn't perish, they would certainly have to flee in disarray.

"How arrogant!"

Lu Qingshan snorted coldly, then looked at the Lord of Heartlessness and said in a cold voice, "Lord of Heartlessness, I want to see what kind of ability you have to kill me."

In order to venture into this cosmic sea, Lu Qingshan had spent almost all of his wealth, greatly enhancing his ability to survive. So how could he be afraid of the cosmic master in front of him?

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Loss of Heart immediately laughed loudly: "Foolish human, you don't actually think this Cosmic Sea is as safe as your original universe, do you?"

"Today I'm going to show you that even if you become the ruler of the universe, you're still nothing special!"

"Someone like you, a newly ascended Universe Lord, has no right to venture into this Universe Sea! I've already given you a chance. Since you two are unwilling to leave, then obediently accept your death!"

Wow!
As soon as the Lord of Despair finished speaking, the surrounding space and time were instantly enveloped by endless streams of water.

This fiery domain is filled with endless flames, so theoretically, it should be impossible for water to flow there.

However, this flow of water was a special energy revealed after a domain-type treasure was used, and it was only manifested in the form of water, so it was not suppressed by the Flowing Fire Domain.

As soon as this endless stream of water appeared, it swept in all directions, even freezing the surrounding spatial fluctuations and completely sealing off the space itself.

The Lord of Loss of Heart is a powerful figure from the first era of reincarnation. With the accumulation of many years, he has long since obtained many super treasures. What he is using now is one of his famous treasures, the top-level domain treasure 'Water Domain'!
"Watershed?"

Having already learned about the strength of the Lord of Loss through the information, Lu Qingshan sneered and then immediately activated the God-Slaying Array Diagram that he had obtained on the Primordial Star and had spent a great deal of money to collect its parts.

Wow!

Endless golden light instantly spread out, piercing through the surrounding endless void.

Amidst this endless golden light, there were also phantom images of various treasures constantly moving about.

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

Each of these treasures exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

boom! boom! boom!
One after another, the treasures shuttled back and forth, constantly bombarding the endless water flow around them, and soon completely drove away the water flow in a large area around Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Mantis.

For a time, the water basin occupied about two-thirds of the space, while the remaining third was firmly occupied by the God-Slaying Array Domain cast by Lu Qingshan.

boom!boom!boom……

The domains formed by the Water Stream and the God-Slaying Array Diagram clashed repeatedly in the surrounding void. Although the Water Stream was more powerful, both were top-tier domain treasures, so it was impossible for it to gain an overwhelming advantage.

"A top-tier domain-level treasure?" Upon seeing this, the Heartless Lord couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

You should know that the reason he thought he could easily win against two opponents was because he possessed a top-tier domain-level treasure.

Having a domain-specific treasure is very effective, whether for escaping or trapping enemies.

The Lord of the Mantis has roamed the cosmic sea for countless years, and his most famous treasure is the top-tier palace-type treasure, the Mantis Palace. He certainly does not possess any top-tier domain-type treasures.

But what the Lord of Heartlessness didn't expect was that Lu Qingshan, who was insignificant in his eyes, was able to produce a top-level domain-type treasure not long after his breakthrough.

"Thank goodness! Fortunately, my water domain is stronger, so I can still maintain some advantages!"

After such a thought flashed through his mind, the Lord of Heartlessness quickly said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect that your primitive universe human race would treat you, a newly broken universe lord, quite well, even bestowing upon you a top-level domain-type treasure. It seems you must be a super genius!"

"However, no matter how talented I am, this treasure is destined to fall into my hands!"

"A heartless lord, anyone can spout empty words!"

Lu Qingshan gripped the Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow Sword, then sneered, "Show me everything you've got!"

"court death!"

The Lord of Heartlessness roared, and then his figure, shrouded in endless water, transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the mountain-shaped treasure that was being born.

Although he was extremely angry at this point, he clearly did not let anger cloud his judgment.

Inside the Lang'an Palace, where the Lord of Lang'an resides, it would be very difficult for him to kill both Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Lang'an. Therefore, his primary target was the mountain-shaped treasure that was just emerging.

If he could obtain this newly discovered treasure, his mission would be considered a success. At that point, whether he retreated or ravaged Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Mantis, the initiative would be in his hands.

"Lord of the Mantis!"

Upon seeing the Heartless Lord's actions, Lu Qingshan immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "Leave the Heartless Lord to me, and you seize the treasure while you have the chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan immediately grabbed the Lone Goose Shadow Sword and rushed towards the direction of the Lord of Lost Heart.

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's telepathic message, the Lord of the Mantis was slightly taken aback.

It should be noted that his strength is somewhat greater than Lu Qingshan's, and he has also created the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe. However, he is slightly weaker than the Lord of Heartlessness in terms of treasures and life genes.

Logically, he should have been the one to hold off the wicked master, while Lu Qingshan would seize the treasure. But now their tasks have been reversed.

However, the Lord of the Mantis was not too worried about Lu Qingshan's safety, since Lu Qingshan had already fought against the Lord of All Gods of the Mechanical Race in the Primordial Universe.

Now that Lu Qingshan dares to take the initiative to meet that heartless master, he must have a certain degree of confidence.

Wow!

As many thoughts flashed through the mind of the Lord of the Mantis, Lu Qingshan took the initiative to make his move.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone from the Lone Goose Reflecting Shadow Sword, followed by a brilliant bolt of lightning that flew swiftly toward the location of the Lord of Heartlessness. This was none other than the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Slash, created by Lu Qingshan!
However, facing an opponent like the Lord of Loss of Hearts who created the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe, Lu Qingshan did not hide his killing move as before, because even if he hid it, he would not be able to cause any damage to the Lord of Loss of Hearts.

What he needs to do most now is to slow down the speed of the heartless lord by constantly attacking him, so that the Lord of the Mantis can seize the treasure that is about to be born first.

"court death!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan approach him, the Heartless Lord couldn't help but reveal a hint of anger on his face.

After all, in his eyes, Lu Qingshan, who had just broken through, was not worthy of being his opponent.

"Since you want to die, then I will make it happen for you!"

With a thought, the Lord of Loss immediately produced a blood-red spear in his hand, much larger than his divine body. The spear was covered in mottled bloodstains left by other powerful figures and constantly released an incomparably bloody and terrifying aura.

hum!
The Lord of Despair suddenly swung his spear, and instantly endless blood light swept in all directions. At its core was the tip of the bloody spear, which had even formed a blood-red wheel.

Wow!

The crimson wheel slashed horizontally towards Lu Qingshan's location, and wherever it passed, it seemed as if space and time were completely split in two.

puff!

When the crimson roulette met the lightning unleashed by Lu Qingshan, it easily cleaved the lightning in two, even the sword light within it was not spared, while the power of the crimson roulette did not diminish much.

Wow!

When the crimson roulette wheel rushed in front of Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan had already swung the Lone Goose Shadow Sword in his hand once again.

boom!
The crimson roulette wheel struck Lu Qingshan's Lone Goose Shadow Sword directly. After being slightly weakened, its remaining power slammed into Lu Qingshan's Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Armor.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Armor is a top-tier treasure armor. It can easily withstand even the full-force attack of a fifth-tier universe lord. Its power is naturally incomparable to the previous top-tier treasure armor.

After being weakened by the Nine Heavens Thunder Armor, the remaining power of the crimson roulette was reduced to only one ten-thousandth of its original strength.

Although this one ten-thousandth of the power was still extremely terrifying, it was something that Lu Qingshan, whose life gene level had improved and whose divine body had grown exponentially, could easily withstand.

Rumble!
Although the violent impact still sent Lu Qingshan flying backward, the actual damage it caused him had become negligible.

When everything dissipated, the surrounding void returned to calm.

"My divine body has actually lost five-thousandths of its original strength?"

Feeling the loss he had suffered, Lu Qingshan was still quite surprised: "It seems that the Lord of Heartlessness is still quite powerful!"

The Lord of Gods' attack initially damaged Lu Qingshan's divine body by 40%, but that was because he was wearing the top-tier treasure armor, the Dragon Bone Heaven-Shaking Armor. The Lord of Gods' attack exceeded the Dragon Bone Heaven-Shaking Armor's limit, so the Dragon Bone Heaven-Shaking Armor, which could have reduced the attack's power to one ten-thousandth, only reduced it to one-thousandth of its original power.

Now, Lu Qingshan is not only wearing the ultimate treasure armor, but his divine body and life gene level have also been greatly improved, so it is not surprising that he only lost five-thousandths of his divine body.

Of course, a loss of five per thousand of a divine body may seem insignificant, but the battles between cosmic lords are incredibly swift. Without subsequent replenishment of divine power, each loss of five per thousand of a divine body would certainly not last long.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan carried with him the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar, so he was not afraid of this mere five-thousandths of divine power loss.

While Lu Qingshan was surprised, the Lord of Heartlessness, who was not far away, also showed a look of surprise.

"It seems that the armor you're wearing is at least top-tier armor!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan's divine body aura had not changed significantly, the Lord of Despair quickly spoke up, saying, "If it were merely a top-tier treasure armor, you would absolutely not have been able to withstand my attacks so easily!"

"But if you think that will save your life from me, you're sorely mistaken!"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Qingshan stepped into the void and immediately rushed towards the direction of the Lord of Heartlessness: "Lord of Heartlessness, why say so much? If you want to deal with me, we'll see how you do it!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan transformed into a streak of light once again and charged towards the direction of the Lord of Heartlessness.

And so, Lu Qingshan and the Heartless Lord quickly engaged in battle.

The Lord of the Mantis has been constantly looking for an opportunity to seize the treasure.

Unfortunately, the Lord of the Lost Heart's Water Domain was indeed superior in power, and it always shrouded the vicinity of that mountain-type treasure that had just been involved in the incident.

However, the Lord of Loss's actions were completely entangled by Lu Qingshan, who was fighting him, and he was unable to break free from the battle.

And so, the three of them were locked in a stalemate.

As time passed, the Lord of the Mantis finally broke through the layers of barriers of the water domain after his outburst and appeared near the mountain-shaped treasure. He then directly infused it with his divine power and put the newly born mountain-shaped treasure into the world ring he carried with him.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Lord of Despair, who was fighting Lu Qingshan, quickly stopped his attack.

"Lord of all realms, I never imagined that after attacking you for so long, your divine body would not have weakened at all!"

The Lord of Loss quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "It seems you possess the ability to create clones, and you even carry your clones with you!"

In fact, such things are not uncommon. For example, An Yong, the Lord of the Divine Eye Clan in the first cycle of reincarnation, carried a great divine body clone with him. So even when he encountered a fifth-order universe lord, the other party was not afraid at all.

"You heartless lord, your strength is also formidable!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "In a one-on-one situation, even if I could withstand your attack, I definitely wouldn't be able to take the treasure from you!"

"But now that the treasure is in our hands, do you want to continue fighting?"

"That's it!"

The Lord of Heartlessness looked at Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Mantis, then said, "You two should leave!"

Having said this, the Lord of Loss of Heart immediately dispersed the domain formed by the watercourse.

In truth, the Lord of Loss still wanted to continue his battle with Lu Qingshan and his companion.

However, he alone could not threaten Lu Qingshan and the other two, so if he wanted to continue the fight, he could only invite other strong members of the clan to come.

Although there are many powerful members of the Skeleton Clan, most of them are gathered in the three forbidden lands. In this Flowing Fire Domain, there is only the Lord of Lost Heart.

If he were in danger, that would be one thing, but if he were to ask other powerful members of the clan for help simply to vent his anger, it would undoubtedly be very inappropriate.

Moreover, when he was vying for the treasure, he also examined the aura of that mountain-shaped treasure. It was just a top-tier treasure weapon, not worth the trouble.

Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Mantis breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Lord of Loss of Heart had given up.

Although the two of them were not afraid of the Lord of Loss of Heart, they would be in danger if he invited other powerful members of the Skeleton Clan to come.

Now that the heartless ruler has taken the initiative to give up, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Mantis exchanged a glance, and then quickly flew in the opposite direction from the Lord of Lost Heart.
