Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 405 The Black Sword Master and the Human Race's Response

"Have you ever truly understood the heart of the Beast God?"

After a moment of reflection, Lu Qingshan asked again.

"not yet!"

The Demon Lord immediately said, "I have been trying to comprehend the Heart of the Beast God for a long time, but I have not succeeded until now!"

Hearing what the Demon Lord said, Lu Qingshan was quite disappointed.

After all, this Nether Demon Venerable has not fully comprehended either the Path of the Beast God or the Heart of the Beast God, and is definitely still some distance away from breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

However, Lu Qingshan didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, as long as this Demon Lord is the same Demon Lord who appeared in the original story, he won't lose out by enslaving him this time; it's just a matter of how much he gains.

If the other party can break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe in the future, then he will have made a huge profit.

Even if the other party is unable to break through due to being enslaved, the demon race has lost a universe master, and the human race has also benefited!

"Owner!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, the Nether Demon Venerable standing in front of him suddenly asked, "This subordinate seems to have never provoked you, Master. I wonder why you would specifically enslave my soul?"

Hearing what the Demon Lord said, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

These are the servants of the soul.

Although soul servants submit to their masters from the bottom of their hearts, they still possess self-awareness, which is why the Demon Lord asked this question.

Lu Qingshan immediately said, "I think you have great talent and comprehension, and you will definitely have the opportunity to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe in the future. That's why I enslaved your soul, so that the demon race can have one less Lord of the Universe!"

"This……"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Netherworld Venerable was somewhat bewildered.

In fact, even he himself didn't think he had any talent or comprehension. Moreover, there were some people in the demon race who had more talent and comprehension than him. He still didn't understand why Lu Qingshan would approach him.

However, the Netherworld Venerable, who was Lu Qingshan's soul servant, did not dwell on it too much. Instead, he quickly said, "Thank you for your high regard, Master. I will definitely work hard to cultivate and never let you down!"

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued, "You can just cultivate in seclusion within the Ancestral God Sect from now on. As for the secret realms, don't go there anymore, otherwise you might be targeted by powerful demons!"

"Understood!" Venerable Youmo quickly nodded and said.

The Demon Lord, originally a powerful member of the demon race, must have known how the demon race would target soul servants like him.

Given the chance, the demon race would never allow a powerful being like him, enslaved by the human race, to live!
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to continue giving instructions to the Netherworld Demon Venerable, he suddenly received an email from his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak.

"The teacher's email?"

Upon receiving the email, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, then thought to himself, "Could it be because of my enslavement of this Nether Demon Venerable?"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and rushed to a grand hall in the inner city of Hongmeng City.

……

Ancestral God Sect, Bauhinia Island.

This place is dotted with palaces of different styles, but each palace only occupies an area of ​​one kilometer in radius.

A series of palace buildings in various ethnic styles.

"Boom!"

Just as Lu Qingshan's consciousness connected to the virtual universe, a powerful aura of primordial law, causing the entire Purple Thorn Island to tremble, descended directly.

The appearance of this terrifying aura immediately attracted countless inheritors on the entire Purple Thorn Island to fly out of their palaces, while looking towards the central area where the primordial aura was strongest, inside a seemingly ordinary palace.

Above this mansion, a three-colored vortex had already appeared.

The three laws of light, thunder, and wind resonated with each other, quickly giving rise to an even more noble and majestic aura of the fundamental law of time!

At the core of that tricolor vortex was nothingness, like a mysterious passage connecting to the origin of the universe.

Rumble!
A massive amount of divine power surged directly from the origin of the universe into the mansion below.

"It's a scene where the fundamental law of time descends!"

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

"Who is this? He has actually comprehended the complete fundamental laws of time and become a Time Venerable!"

At this moment, figures rose one after another above Zijing Island, all looking at the mansion at the center of the vortex with shock and envy.

It should be noted that there are now hundreds of millions of inheritors on Purple Thorn Island. Although they are all elites from billions of races in the universe, most of them have already reached the realm of immortal gods, and the number of universe venerables is still extremely small.

Countless peak-level experts who had reached the King level were stuck at this final step, and each of them longed to step into the realm of the Universe Venerable.

And now, someone on Zijing Island has made a breakthrough.

"Whose residence is this?"

"I have no idea!"

"I do not know either!"

"It looks like the residence of the 'Black Sword King' of the human race!"

"The Black Sword King 'Stretch'? The disciple of the Lord of All Realms?"

Strach had been cultivating on Purple Thorn Island for a long time, and his life gene level had long reached the limit of a hundred times that of ordinary life in the universe, making his combat power quite astonishing at the King Immortal level. Therefore, he was quite famous on Purple Thorn Island.

It was precisely because of this that the many Beast God inheritors who sensed his presence quickly confirmed his identity.

As for the human race and the many cultivators of the Hong Alliance, they were even happier after learning that the person who broke through was Streich.

"The Black Sword King has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm?"

"Hahaha! The Black Sword King's strength is much greater than that of an ordinary invincible king. This time, he has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, so his strength is definitely even greater!"

"The Black Sword King has been trapped at this final step for a long time, but now he has finally broken through!"

"The Black Sword King has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable realm this time. We should pay him a visit and celebrate!"

"No rush. The Black Sword King is currently at a crucial moment of absorbing divine power, so we can't waste any time."

The human race and many powerful figures within the Hong Alliance communicated through telepathy.

A moment later, all the fluctuations subsided.

Many powerful individuals who sensed the commotion returned to their residences, while the human race, the Hong Alliance, and even some non-Hong Alliance alien races who were on good terms with Streich rushed to visit Streich's residence.

Meanwhile, at Strachey's mansion.

"Hahaha!"

After absorbing the divine power, Streich finally smiled: "I have not disappointed my teacher's expectations. I have finally broken through to the realm of the Cosmic Venerable!"

It's worth noting that when he was stuck at the last step, his teacher Lu Qingshan gave him a sum of Glory Points, allowing him another chance to receive the Beast God's inheritance.

Once Strachey was ready, he quickly used the opportunity to receive the Beast God's inheritance.

He had hoped to use that opportunity to break through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, but in the end, he failed to achieve his goal.

Now, after a long period of seclusion in his mansion, he has finally broken through to the realm of a Universe Venerable.

"The divine body has only been transformed by a little over 80%!"

After briefly sensing the divine power within his body, Streich thought to himself, "It seems I need to continue my secluded cultivation for the next period of time to restore my divine body to a perfect state!"

"But the most important thing right now is to inform the teacher about the breakthrough!"

With that in mind, Streich quickly sent an email to his teacher, Lu Qingshan, before opening the door to welcome his friends inside!
……

On the other side, in the virtual universe, in Hongmeng City, within the inner city.

Inside a very spacious hall, more than ten figures were talking.

They are all pillars of the human race, super beings at the level of cosmic masters.

Just then, a figure clad in purple-gold armor stepped into the main hall. It was Lu Qingshan, who had come after receiving an email from the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Myriad Realms!"

"Qingshan!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, all the surrounding universe lords greeted him. "Teacher, everyone!"

Lu Qingshan greeted everyone one by one, and then sat down next to his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Well done, Myriad Realms!"

The Lord of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance looked at Lu Qingshan, then raised his wine glass and invited Lu Qingshan to drink together: "I didn't expect that even that bastard Feng Tian couldn't do anything to you. This time, he finally knows how powerful our human race is!"

The reason why Lord of the Wilderness said this was because when the Primordial Star opened last time, he and Lord Fengtian entered a temple together and suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Lord Fengtian.

Seeing Lu Qingshan fighting with the God of the Fiery Sky, he naturally felt that his relationship with Lu Qingshan had taken a step closer.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Qingshan also picked up the wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled and said, "Actually, the divine power of that Fengtian God Lord is still far superior to mine, but it won't be so easy for him to kill me!"

"That's natural!"

The Dragon Lord, with a dragon tail on his back, quickly laughed and said, "With your ability to protect yourself, even if the God Lord Fengtian exhausts all his divine power, he probably still won't be able to do anything to you!"

Upon hearing what the Lord of Dragons said, Lu Qingshan naturally raised his cup to invite him to drink together.

After a good time drinking, everyone finally got down to business.

"Myriad Realms!"

The leader of the group, the Chaos City Lord, quickly spoke up: "The main reason I had Junior Brother Bingfeng call you here this time was to ask you about your enslavement of that Nether Demon Venerable. Has that Nether Demon Venerable really been enslaved by you?"

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "That Nether Demon Venerable has indeed become my soul servant!"

"Now we're in trouble!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's affirmative answer, Peng Gong, the master of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, quickly spoke up: "This time, you enslaved the cosmic overlords of the demon race in the myriad realms, so the cosmic overlords of our human race will be in danger next. Perhaps those cosmic overlords of the demon race will also try to enslave them!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Lord of the Wilderness quickly spoke up: "They dare to enslave the cosmic overlords of our human race. We are not to be trifled with either. At worst, we will wage a full-scale war. Do you think our human race is afraid of the demon race?"

"Our human race is naturally not afraid of their demon race!"

Upon hearing Lord of Desolation's words, Lord of Void Gold from the Giant Axe Arena quickly retorted, "However, if our human race were to engage in a full-scale war with that demon race, the insectoid race and the mechanical race would definitely be the beneficiaries!"

After the Lord of False Gold finished speaking, the Lord of Desolate Mirror fell silent.

Because he knew that what the Lord of False Gold said was true.

He certainly wouldn't be worried if it were a chaotic battle between the four top races, such as a decisive battle on the outer battlefield.

But if it really is a one-sided war with the demon race, allowing the insect race and the mechanical race to reap the benefits, he would definitely not be willing.

At that moment, the Lord of Ice Peaks, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"Actually, the demon race probably won't start a full-scale war with our human race!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly said, "We're worried about the serious consequences, and they're certainly worried too!"

After saying this, the Lord of Ice Peak quickly turned to Lu Qingshan and asked, "Qingshan, why did you enslave that Nether Demon Venerable this time?"

"It's just some personal grudges!" Lu Qingshan quickly said.

He couldn't possibly say that he knew the Nether Demon Venerable might break through to the Universe Venerable realm in the future, which was why he devised a way to enslave him, so he could only make up some random excuse.

"Qingshan, you were far too impulsive this time!"

The Lord of Ice Peak quickly said, "That Nether Demon Venerable offended you. Killing him would have been enough. But you directly enslaved his soul, which is a completely 'broken rule' thing to do!"

Upon hearing the words of the Ice Peak Lord, the other Universe Lords around him also nodded in agreement.

However, Lu Qingshan is, after all, on the same level as them, and his overall strength is now extremely strong.

The Lord of Ice Peaks, as a teacher, can say such things, but they cannot.

"Teacher, I understand!"

After hearing what the Lord of Ice Peak said, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement.

Then, Lu Qingshan looked directly at the other universe lords around him and said, "Everyone, it was indeed an ill-considered decision of mine to rashly attack that Nether Demon Venerable this time!"

"If my human race suffers any losses because of this, I will bear the consequences alone!"

"Myriad Realms, what kind of talk is that!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Void Gold, who was on good terms with him, immediately said, "Our human race has always been fighting with the demon race, so it's normal to suffer some losses!"

"Yes!"

Lord Huangjian of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance also spoke up, saying, "The demon race has done its share of bad things, so what's wrong with our human race doing one once in a while?"

"If that demon race wants to take revenge on my human race, let them come!"

"Myriad Realms, you don't need to overthink it!"

The Chaos City Lord, who was the leader of the Virtual Universe Company, quickly spoke up, saying, "We called you here mainly to get a sense of the situation!"

Now that things are clear, any problems that arise in the future should be solved together!

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan was quite moved.

In fact, although the higher-ups of human groups all have their own ulterior motives, they are still very united when it comes to dealing with other races.

This is precisely why Lu Qingshan went to great lengths to enslave the Nether Demon Venerable, thereby limiting the development of the demon race.

After all, even if the Nether Demon Venerable were to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe in the future, it would not be of any help to Lu Qingshan.

If it weren't for the development of the human race, he wouldn't have needed to do such a thing.

Next, everyone naturally began to drink freely again, and at the same time, under the guidance of the Chaos City Lord, they briefly discussed how to deal with the possible retaliation from the demon race.

Just then, Lu Qingshan suddenly received an email.

“Stretch’s email?”

Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, but quickly opened the email.

The email contained the news that Straitch had broken through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable.

"I never expected that Streich would also break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh after reading the news.

It should be noted that Streich was a disciple he took in when he was still at the Immortal King realm. Streich himself was not particularly talented, but he was accepted as a disciple because he was the first person to become a disciple when Lu Qingshan was giving a lecture.

However, Strachey later developed an exceptional talent for fusing Blood Crystals, eventually becoming a Black Warrior and using the blood of the Beast God to elevate his life gene level to a hundred times the limit of ordinary life in the universe.

Among the many disciples Lu Qingshan later took in, whether it was Lawrence, Lu Mingrui, or the two Immortal Kings, Scripps and Kemodima, their talent in comprehending the laws was stronger than that of Streich.

However, Streich cultivates the path of the Beast God and is able to receive the inheritance of the Beast God, which gives him a slight advantage in cultivation.

"Qingshan!"

The Lord of Ice Peak noticed the change in Lu Qingshan's expression and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's a good thing!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Just now, my disciple Streich broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm within the Ancestral God Sect!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Desolate Realm immediately became interested: "Our human race has actually had another Immortal break through to the Universe Venerable realm!"

"Yes!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks also said, "I also know that little guy named Streich. He is a Black Warrior who raised his life gene level to a hundred times the limit of ordinary life in the universe a long time ago. He's quite impressive!"

"Dark Warriors do indeed have a significant advantage in enhancing the level of life genes!"

The Lord of Qingdong couldn't help but nod and say, "This little guy has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, which will save us a lot of resources in this area in the future!"

"Hahaha!"

Lord of the Wilderness immediately raised his cup and said, "The birth of a new Cosmic Venerable among our human race is something worth celebrating, no matter what. Let's all drink to that together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly raised their glasses and drank together.

After that, Lu Qingshan and the others chatted for a while before dispersing.
