Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 409 A Breakthrough in Strength Over the Years
"This matter is finally over!"

Watching his disciples Lawrence and Venerable Ning Shuang leave, Lu Qingshan felt quite emotional.

In fact, the conflict between the demon race and the human race, which occurred more than 100,000 epochs ago due to Lu Qingshan's enslavement of the Nether Demon Venerable, had already dissipated.

Although there is still great enmity between the human race and the demon race, it is entirely due to the enmity between the four top races themselves.

As time has passed, the impact of Lu Qingshan's enslavement of the demon race's Nether Demon Venerable has largely dissipated.

Of course, this is also because the Demon Lord has been staying in the Ancestral God Sect and cultivating peacefully.

Otherwise, if the opponent is discovered by the demon race in the Ancestral God Sect's secret realm or some cosmic secret realm, there will definitely be powerful demons who will descend and kill them.

After all, the fact that the Demon Lord was enslaved by Lu Qingshan was a disgrace to the demon race, and they definitely wanted to kill the Demon Lord.

"Next, let's see if that Nether Demon Venerable can break through to the Universe Lord realm in the future!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Once that Nether Demon Venerable really breaks through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the demon race will probably go crazy for a while!"

"However, that Nether Demon Venerable has neither fully comprehended the Path of the Beast God nor the Heart of the Beast God. It is certainly not something that can be achieved in a short time if he wants to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"What I need to do most right now is to create the strongest secret technique of the universe master as soon as possible, and at the same time, accumulate as many resources as possible to improve my life gene level, exchange for some treasures that can enhance my strength, and so on!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan quickly contacted the human race and the various universe lords within the Hong Alliance, wanting to find people to venture into the cosmic sea with him.

After receiving Lu Qingshan's email, the Sailfish Lord within the Hong Alliance quickly contacted him.

This Lord of the Sailfish is one of the two Universe Lords of the powerful Sailfish clan. He not only possesses the strength of a third-tier Universe Lord, but also has the enviable ability to create clones.

More importantly, the Lord of the Sailfish also possesses a precious top-tier palace-type treasure. Going on adventures in the cosmic sea with Lu Qingshan, who possesses a top-tier domain-type treasure, would definitely produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

And so, after discussing things with the Lord of the Sailfish, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Sailfish soon set off again to explore the Cosmic Sea.

Time keeps passing by...

As Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Sailfish ventured into the Cosmic Sea, they frequently encountered powerful individuals from other forces within the Cosmic Sea...

Sometimes they would meet these powerful figures and then quickly part ways, and other times they would fight each other because of the appearance of a supreme treasure. The result was naturally that each side would win and lose!
It is worth mentioning that the Lord of the Sailfish also possesses a massive avatar of his divine body. Although he does not dare to carry it with him like Lu Qingshan does, he can immediately return to the original universe to replenish his divine power when his divine power is depleted.

This is why Lu Qingshan spent far more time adventuring in the Cosmic Sea with the Lord of the Sailfish than with the Lord of the Mantis and the Lord of Yanshan before him.

And so, time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 10 billion epochs have passed!

……

Virtual universe, atop Thunder Island.

This place is filled with endless chaotic energy, and within this endless chaotic energy stand several incomparably majestic palaces.

These magnificent palaces all belong to the cosmic lords of the Virtual Universe Company, and one of them belongs to the Ice Peak Lord.

Inside the magnificent palace where the Lord of the Ice Peak resides.

There exists an extremely vast space here, and within this endless space, two figures exuding terrifying auras are currently facing each other from afar.

One of them wore purple-gold armor and had a resolute face; the other wore silver-white armor and had a cold face. These two were Lu Qingshan and his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, who were fully armed.

At this moment, the auras of Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Ice Peak were surging continuously, and even their momentum was rising steadily.

"kill!"

The Lord of Ice Peak roared, and then the silver longsword behind him was instantly drawn. He immediately transformed into a silver-white phantom and rushed towards Lu Qingshan's direction.

"Hahaha, good time!"

Lu Qingshan also laughed loudly, and then, wielding a dark gold longsword, he charged towards the Lord of Ice Peak.

boom!
The longswords in the hands of Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Ice Peak clashed instantly, and a terrifying power immediately erupted from the two of them.

Rumble!
An incredibly terrifying shockwave swept outwards in an instant, turning everything in the surrounding space and time into nothingness.

As for Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Ice Peak, they were also rapidly pushed back by this enormous impact.

"Hahaha!"

Having regained his footing, the Ice Peak Lord looked in Lu Qingshan's direction and then laughed loudly, "Qingshan, your strength has increased again!"

"teacher!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "If you don't show some real skills soon, be careful you might get defeated by your disciple!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Ice Peak Master's face immediately showed a hint of surprise: "Qingshan, your strength has already improved to this level?"

"I'd like to see what gives you the confidence to defeat me. You'd better watch out!"

"teacher!"

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's fighting spirit was also boiling: "Just bring it on!"

His strength has improved this time, so naturally he wants to test it in battle.

"Hahaha, then your master is going to get serious!"

The Ice Peak Lord, wielding a silver longsword, laughed loudly, then lightly swung the sword: "Frozen!"

The silver longsword in the Ice Peak Lord's hand trembled continuously, and at the same time, silvery-white ice crystal threads were constantly spreading out.

These ice crystal threads looked incredibly dreamlike, one after another, stretching endlessly, instantly covering the entire surrounding space and time.

As the number of these ice crystal threads increases, their power becomes more and more terrifying!
"boom!"

Finally, these ice crystal threads converged in an instant, transforming into a silver-white sword light that swiftly slashed towards Lu Qingshan's location.

Around the sword light, there were even wisps of chaotic energy.

call!
This dazzling sword light pierced through layers of space. Its speed seemed slow, but it appeared in front of Lu Qingshan almost instantly.

"Hahaha, good time!"

Holding a dark gold longsword, Lu Qingshan immediately burst into laughter and then unleashed the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe that he had just created.

"Purple Thunder Heaven-Piercing Slash!"

Wow!
Suddenly, streaks of purple lightning, radiating terrifying pressure, emanated from the dark gold longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand. These purple lightning bolts then stirred the strange fluctuations in the surrounding space-time, transforming directly into a dazzling purple sword light, within which it seemed to have given birth to a universe.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qingshan gently swung the dark gold longsword in his hand, and a dazzling sword light instantly pierced forward!

Just as the dazzling sword light and the sword light unleashed by the Ice Peak Lord were about to collide, the dazzling sword light mysteriously dodged to the side, then crossed the Ice Peak Lord's sword light at an unbelievable angle, before rushing rapidly towards the direction of the Ice Peak Lord.
"Is this the trick again?"

Faced with Lu Qingshan's bizarre attack, the Ice Peak Lord showed no surprise: "Block it for me!"

He instantly swung the silver-white longsword in his hand.

However, Lu Qingshan's attack was too swift. Even though the Ice Peak Lord was prepared, he only had time to raise his silver-white longsword in front of him and did not have enough time to use his secret technique to defend himself again.

Rumble!
The dazzling sword light slammed directly into the silver-white longsword in the Ice Peak Lord's hand, instantly unleashing terrifying power.

An incredibly terrifying shockwave swept outwards in all directions in an instant. Its immense power even turned the surrounding spacetime into nothingness, and even the spatial particle stream completely dissipated.

After the terrifying power erupted, it quickly struck the Ice Peak Lord's divine body through the silver longsword, blasting the Ice Peak Lord back hundreds of steps before he regained his footing.

Meanwhile, the terrifying sword light unleashed by the Lord of Ice Peak also struck the dark golden longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand, sending Lu Qingshan's body flying backward.

When everything dissipated, the surrounding void returned to calm.

"Hahaha!"

The Ice Peak Lord, who had suffered a minor loss at Lu Qingshan's hands, felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Qingshan, you have already created the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord?"

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan slung the dark gold longsword behind his back, and then appeared in front of the Ice Peak Lord in a flash: "After countless years of seclusion, this disciple has finally created the first form of the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord!"

In fact, with the help of the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group, Lu Qingshan could have created the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord much faster, and it wouldn't have been impossible for him to even create the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord Fusion. However, after Lu Qingshan broke through to the Universe Lord realm, the points required to activate the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group increased significantly. Even after nearly 10 billion epochs had passed, he hadn't been able to accumulate enough points to activate the enlightenment enhancement function more than a few times.

Moreover, after activating the Enlightenment Enhancement function, Lu Qingshan mostly used it to comprehend the Light-Time Fusion Law, the Wind-Time Fusion Law, and so on, so it did not bring much help to his self-created secret techniques.

However, after the chat group was upgraded last time, Lu Qingshan's comprehension improved, so he created his own strongest secret technique as the Lord of the Universe through his own efforts.

"Qingshan, well done!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's affirmative reply, the Lord of Ice Peak quickly said, "The time you took to create this strongest secret technique is much less than what I did!"

At this moment, the Lord of Ice Peaks was undoubtedly very happy.

After all, even among the many universe masters of the human race, there are many universe masters who have not created the strongest secret technique for universe masters.

Moreover, with his massive reserves of divine power, Lu Qingshan was able to withstand the attacks of a fifth-order Universe Lord simply by creating the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Lord.

Now that Lu Qingshan has created the strongest secret technique of the universe master, his strength has even ranked among the top five of the human race.

Among the entire human race, perhaps only the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, and the Lord of Penggong can slightly surpass his disciple.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Ice Peak couldn't help but exclaim, "Qingshan, your overall strength is probably already surpassing that of your master!"

"My current advantage is simply because I've lived a long time and have more treasures on me!"

"Moreover, the strongest secret technique you created this time is very similar to the first ultimate secret technique you created before. It can completely exchange injuries with a strong opponent of the same level!"

As he said this, the Lord of Ice Peak waved his hand, and he and Lu Qingshan returned to the main hall.

Then, with a thought, the Lord of Ice Peaks conjured up a multitude of fine wines and delicacies before him and Lu Qingshan.

As the Lord of Ice Peak waved for Lu Qingshan to take a seat, he recalled the strongest secret technique Lu Qingshan had used earlier, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "This secret technique, combined with your massive reserves of divine power, is simply a perfect match!"

"If you and I were to actually fight to the death in reality, I'm afraid we'd only be able to escape in a palace-like treasure!"

"Teacher, you're too kind!"

Lu Qingshan stood up and poured a full cup of fine wine for the Lord of Ice Peak, then smiled and said, "This disciple only used a trick!"

"You're not taking shortcuts!"

Lord of Ice Peak picked up the wine that Lu Qingshan had poured and drank it all in one gulp. Then he couldn't help but say, "Qingshan, the fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries is indeed very suitable for you!"

"With this newly created strongest secret technique, coupled with your massive reserves of divine power, there are few people below the fifth-tier Universe Lord level who can rival you!"

"This disciple's current strength is still far from sufficient!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "Especially when it comes to supreme treasures, this disciple still has a long way to go!"

"Qingshan, you don't need to be in such a hurry!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak quickly smiled and said, "The treasures in the hands of the strong are all accumulated over a long period of time!"

"Just like when I was trying to exchange for the Iceberg Palace, I spent hundreds of billions of epochs to accumulate resources!"

"You haven't been cultivating for very long yet, so naturally you're lacking in the skills to acquire supreme treasures!"

"But what you've accomplished over this period of time is already quite impressive!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly continued to ask, "I remember you once said that the life gene level of your main battle avatar has now been increased by nearly ten thousand times, right?"

"Your skills far surpass those of your master. I believe that as time goes by, the treasures you possess will become more numerous and increasingly precious!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

"correct!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks quickly spoke again, asking, "Is there still no result for the last two components of your God-Slaying Array Diagram?"

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "There is still no news about one of the components of that God-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

"As for the other component, it is in the hands of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan. I contacted the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan several times, and even offered the price of a top-tier treasure armor (around 200 treasure points), but he still refused to exchange it. Instead, he wanted me to offer a peak treasure in exchange. That's just wishful thinking!"

"Damn demons!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then snorted coldly, "The Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is far too greedy, but Qingshan, you don't need to worry too much!"

"Perhaps after some time, the demon race will need our human race's help. At that time, it will be very easy to get back the parts of your God-Slaying Array Diagram!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded again.

Next, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Ice Peak enjoyed their meal and chatted for a while.

……

The original universe, the Ancestral God Religion, and the Ancestral God Palace.

"Buzz!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was having a pleasant conversation with his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, an invisible and terrifying will descended upon the Ancestral God Palace.

At this moment, three figures with different appearances were sitting on the three thrones in the Ancestral God Palace. They were the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect.

The three ancestral gods all had extremely solemn expressions at this moment. They all closed their eyes, appearing incredibly holy, and at the same time, powerful and strange energy emanated from their bodies.

"My children..."

"The Primordial Star..."

"the last time……"

"next time……"

"Time extended..."

"Seize the opportunity..."

The ancient will continuously transmitted mysterious messages, which descended upon these three ancestral gods.

After a long time, that invisible, powerful will finally dissipated.

Then all three ancestral gods opened their eyes, looked at each other, and were all surprised.

"Time flies so fast!"

The ancient ancestral god, seated in the center, quickly spoke, saying, "Trillion epochs have passed since the beginning of this cycle of reincarnation!"

"Yes!"

The two-faced ancestral god sitting on the left sighed softly, "It seems like just yesterday that the eight innate beast gods were being hunted down by countless powerful figures. I never imagined that trillions of epochs have passed!"

"I wonder when we'll be able to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe!"

The Ancestral God, seated on the right, quickly said, "Although our Ancestral God Sect is currently the largest power in this primordial universe, we do not have a single strongest being in the universe!"

"If this cycle of time ends and we haven't produced the strongest being in the universe yet, we'll be in big trouble!"

"No need to rush!"

The Two-Faced Ancestral God quickly spoke up, saying, "According to the experts of the previous two reincarnation eras, a reincarnation era lasts for a full ten trillion epochs. We still have enough time to break through!"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things!"

The ancient ancestral god, seated in the center, quickly spoke up: "Let's hurry and convey the instructions of the primordial will to the other forces!"

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

The other two ancestral gods both nodded in agreement.
