Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 420 Treasure Hunt in the Maze of the Lord of Hailan
Even though Lu Qingshan now had the strength to suppress the arrogant and greedy Lord of Sirius, he did not choose to make a move immediately.

Because he knew very well that in the special environment of the Primordial Star, even a fifth-order universe lord or the strongest being in the universe could not possibly capture the Lord of Sirius hiding in front of a vortex passage.

Once he makes a move against the opponent, many of his own methods will be exposed, especially the Chaos Demon Suppression Tower, which he has never used since he acquired it.

Once these methods are exposed, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf will avoid Lu Qingshan in the future, making it much more difficult for him to deal with the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf.

To deal with the Lord of Sirius, one must at least be in a special environment like the Temple of Gods Execution, where no one can intervene, and then use swift and decisive means to suppress him.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not pay too much attention to the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf at this time, but continued to wait for the True Spirit Palace to open while riding the Chaos Returning to Ruins Tower, which was used to confuse everyone.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Sirius felt even more smug after seeing Lu Qingshan remain silent.

"Humph!"

The Lord of Sirius snorted coldly in his heart, then thought to himself, "So what if this Lord of Myriad Realms is powerful? He's still just as easily controlled by me."

"That guy, Nianjiao, wanted to use several high-grade treasures to exchange for parts of the God-Slaying Array Diagram, and then use those parts to trade with the human race for other treasures. That's absolutely impossible!"

"I've got this Lord of Myriad Realms cornered! Unless he gives me a supreme treasure, I will never exchange any part of the God-Slaying Array Diagram with him, not even if the two Demon Ancestors ask!"

For the Lord of Sirius, who rarely ventures into dangerous places, accumulating enough resources to exchange for a supreme treasure must be quite difficult.

Now that such a good opportunity has presented itself, he is naturally unwilling to give it up. Therefore, he directly rejected even when other powerful members of the demon race offered to exchange parts of the God-Slaying Array Diagram for their own benefit.

Just as various thoughts flashed through the mind of the Lord of Sirius, another towering figure, nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, emerged from beside another vortex passage in the distance.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the cosmic lords who were waiting on this primordial star all changed their expressions slightly. Even the Lord of the Sirius, who was hiding in the Sirius Palace, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

At the same time, countless powerful figures around them began to discuss the matter.

"It's the Lord of the Sea of ​​the Zerg!"

"I didn't expect even the Lord of Hailan to be here. This is going to be interesting!"

"Yes! Lord Hailan is very powerful, and she is also very skilled in soul attacks!"

"Hmph! Putting aside whether the Lord of Hailan has the token of the True Spirit Palace, just the fact that the Lord of All Realms of the human race is involved means she might not have the last laugh!"

"The Lord of Myriad Realms is indeed powerful, but the Lord of Hailan possesses a supreme palace-level treasure for protection, coupled with his terrifying soul attack. Even the strongest beings in the universe cannot defeat him!"

"The Zerg's cosmic overlords are indeed very troublesome; each of them has an extremely strong ability to survive!"

……

While the group of powerful figures and acquaintances were exchanging messages, Lu Qingshan's face also showed a hint of apprehension upon seeing the Lord of Hailan appear.

He wasn't worried that the Lord of Hailan would threaten his safety, but rather that once the Lord of Hailan obtained the treasures in the True Spirit Palace, he would never have another chance to get them.

Like other universe lords, even if they manage to seize a supreme treasure within the True Spirit Palace, Lu Qingshan can still use various means to entangle them!

But the Lord of Hailan is different!
The palace-type treasure possessed by the Lord of Hailan is a top-tier treasure. Once he hides inside it, Lu Qingshan will be completely helpless against him.

In fact, this is because there are very few Zerg Universe Lords, so each Universe Lord possesses a precious protective treasure.

Lord Hailan's strength ranks among the top three of the many universe lords of the Zerg. Coupled with the accumulation over a long period of time, it is only natural that he possesses a supreme treasure of the pinnacle palace type.

As Lu Qingshan showed a look of apprehension, the Lord of Hailan, who had noticed Lu Qingshan, also showed a look of apprehension.

After all, although there are more than ten universe lords gathered on this primordial star, most of them only have the strength of the second or third tier. Only she and Lu Qingshan truly possess the strength of the fourth tier.

Therefore, at this time, Lord Hailan had already regarded Lu Qingshan as his biggest rival.

"Lord of All Realms!"

The Lord of the Sea of ​​Mist looked in the direction of Lu Qingshan. Although the distance was quite far, she still spoke through a space-time continuum: "I didn't expect you to be on this primordial star. When we compete for the treasure later, please be merciful!"

The voice of the Lord of the Sea was incredibly gentle, and some of the cosmic overlords around felt as if they were in a beautiful dream world after hearing her voice.

However, Lu Qingshan did not lower his guard because of the gentle voice of the Lord of Hailan, because he knew very well how terrifying and cruel the Lord of Hailan was.

Once upon a time, the leader of a powerful race offended the Lord of Hailan on the Primordial Star. Later, the Lord of Hailan secretly plotted for a long time and finally joined forces with many powerful people to kill that Lord of the Universe. Even his race was wiped out by the Zerg.

"Lord of the Sea Mist, it seems you have obtained the token of the True Spirit Palace!"

Lu Qingshan immediately said coldly, "As for seizing the treasure, it's just a matter of each person relying on their own abilities!"

"Does that you, Lord of All Realms, have not obtained the token of the True Spirit Palace?"

The Lord of the Sea Mist said softly again, "If that's the case, Lord of All Realms, you'll probably have to leave empty-handed this time!"

"Then you don't need to worry about it, Lord Hailan!"

Lu Qingshan gave a casual reply and then ignored the other party.

hum!
Not long after the Lord of Hailan appeared on this primordial star number 04993, the entire primordial star began to tremble slightly.

The tremor was directly centered on the True Spirit Palace, spreading outwards in all directions.

After this tremor spread, the many powerful figures surrounding the True Spirit Palace all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"It's the Spirit Hall!"

"The Spirit Hall has opened!"

"Quickly inform the Ancestor that the True Spirit Palace has been opened!"

……

In no time, the many powerful individuals waiting on the original star number 04993 quickly sprang into action.

Among them, the powerful individuals who possessed the tokens of the True Spirit Temple naturally waited silently for the True Spirit Temple to absorb them;

Those powerful individuals without the tokens either continued to wait or began contacting their clan's experts, hoping to arrive and compete for the treasures after the battle for the supreme treasures within the True Spirit Hall had concluded...

At that moment, some powerful individuals began to emit a hazy white light, which echoed the fluctuations generated by the True Spirit Palace. Clearly, they all possessed tokens to enter the True Spirit Palace!

Once these figures, radiating a hazy white light, disappeared from their original positions, the remaining powerful beings on this primordial star finally learned the identities of the many powerful individuals who had entered the True Spirit Palace.

"I never expected that both the Lord of All Realms and the Lord of Hailan would possess tokens from the True Spirit Palace!"

After Lu Qingshan and Lord Hailan disappeared, a Universe Lord couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the competition within the True Spirit Palace is going to be even fiercer this time!"

"Yes!"

The Lord of the Universe's friend also sighed, "However, the others are not so lucky! And if the treasure falls into the hands of the Lord of Myriad Realms or the Lord of Hailan, we will have little hope of getting a share!"

"Why bother with so much!"

The Lord of the Universe transmitted his voice again, saying, "We don't know what the rules for treasure hunting are like in the True Spirit Palace. Perhaps the treasures will be won by other Lords of the Universe, or by those little guys at the level of Universe Venerables!"

"That's right! In any case, based on past experience, these people won't stay in the True Spirit Hall for too long. Let's continue to wait!"

Thus, some powerful individuals chose to leave, while others chose to stay and continue waiting.

……

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan's divine body was enveloped in a hazy white light and disappeared from its original spot, it quickly appeared in a vast white world.

This world is about ten million kilometers wide and high, but its length seems endless, like a giant passage. However, within this spacetime, spacetime itself is extremely stable. Even if Lu Qingshan uses his ability to control a spacetime area, or even uses the God-Slaying Array Diagram, he can only control and explore a range of ten million kilometers around him at most.

Further exploration was severely hampered and impossible.

"The rules within this True Spirit Hall seem to be different from those of the Azure Light Hall and the God-Slaying Hall that I entered before!"

As Lu Qingshan entered this white world, he flew rapidly forward, thinking to himself, "In terms of environment alone, it is quite similar to the maze environment recorded by my human race!"

It should be noted that although Lu Qingshan's cultivation time was relatively short, many other universe lords among the human race had already experienced the opening of the primordial star many times.

During the multiple openings of the primordial star, they naturally ventured into various temples, and thus recorded the environment and rules within many of these temples.

The challenge rules that Lu Qingshan experienced in the Azure Light Palace and the God-Slaying Palace were common temple challenge rules. The maze that Lu Qingshan mentioned now is also a common temple challenge rule.

Under the rules of a temple similar to the Azure Light Palace, generally, the stronger one's strength, the easier it is to obtain a supreme treasure.

But the rules of this maze are different!

To obtain a treasure within this maze-like environment, one must rely on luck and speed; the required strength is not as high as that required within the Azure Light Palace.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Qingshan appeared in this world, he immediately began to fly forward quickly in order to buy time.

In this way, Lu Qingshan flew at sub-light speed for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at the end of the white passage.

At the end of this passage is a fork in the road, leading to nine black passages, each of which is approximately tens of millions of kilometers wide and high.

"It really is a maze!"

Upon seeing the nine black passages, Lu Qingshan quickly recalled the descriptions of such maze rules from various documents about humankind.

In such mazes, there are usually a large number of branching paths and countless different kinds of passages.

When many intersections and passages converge, they become a huge maze.

In this intricate maze, the passages are constantly changing. Sometimes new passages will suddenly appear, sometimes passages will suddenly close, and sometimes special traps, monsters, and so on will appear randomly. The strength of the monsters is generally proportional to the strength of the challenger.

The many treasures within the temple are hidden in the passages of these labyrinths, and those who attempt to obtain them generally need a lot of luck.

Such rules for clearing the levels are far too unfriendly to a powerful figure like Lu Qingshan.

After all, his current strength is definitely among the top among the many powerful people who have entered the True Spirit Hall. If it were a challenge with rules similar to those of the Azure Light Hall and the God-Slaying Hall, his chances of obtaining a supreme treasure would be much greater.

After briefly recalling some information about the rules of the maze, Lu Qingshan quickly chose a black passage at random and continued to fly rapidly towards the front of the black passage at sub-light speed.

After flying to the end of the black passage, Lu Qingshan appeared at a fork in the road, where there were five white passages.

And so, Lu Qingshan kept choosing new passages, and kept traveling through these endless passages while searching for the traces of the treasure.

As Lu Qingshan entered the third fork in the road, he finally discovered the trace of a top-tier treasure weapon.

This top-tier treasure was hidden in a small trap, but Lu Qingshan was constantly using the God-Slaying Array Diagram, a top-tier domain-level treasure.

Although the area of ​​his domain was greatly suppressed, the small trap could not escape Lu Qingshan's detection at all, so he easily obtained that top-tier treasure weapon.

However, a top-tier treasure weapon is nothing to Lu Qingshan, so there's no need for him to care.

He simply put this top-tier treasure into the world ring he carried with him, and then Lu Qingshan began to wander through this endless maze again.

And so, there are top-tier treasures, ordinary treasures, and domain-specific treasures...

As time went by, Lu Qingshan's gains began to increase.

Just after Lu Qingshan acquired a top-tier domain-level treasure, a figure from another race suddenly appeared in front of him.

This alien creature had a pair of snow-white wings on its back, four arms on its body, and a very powerful aura.

As soon as Lu Qingshan saw the other party, he immediately recognized him as 'White Feather Venerable,' a top cosmic overlord of the Crystal Clan Alliance!
This Venerable White Feather was a special life form with a life gene level three thousand times higher. He was once killed, but later, his friend in the Crystal Clan broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe. Only then did he ask the Holy Lord of the Crystal Clan to revive him. After that, Venerable White Feather joined the Crystal Clan Alliance.

Whoosh!
The moment Lu Qingshan saw Venerable Baiyu, he immediately transformed into a blur and flew towards Venerable Baiyu's location.

Although Venerable Baiyu also possessed an ordinary domain-type treasure, how could its detection capabilities compare to Lu Qingshan's God-Slaying Array Diagram?

Therefore, when Lu Qingshan was discovered by him, he was already enveloped by the God-Slaying Array Domain that Lu Qingshan had cast.

"It's the God-Slaying Array Diagram of the Lord of All Realms!"

After being trapped in the God-Slaying Array, Venerable Baiyu, who possessed the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord and even had the potential to rival the Lord of the Universe, did not choose to flee.

Because he knew very well that, facing a super strongman like Lu Qingshan who possessed a top-tier domain-level treasure, even as a top-tier cosmic overlord, he had no hope of escaping.

Therefore, Venerable Baiyu chose to wait respectfully in place. After all, the enmity between the Crystal Alliance and the Hong Alliance was not great, and he rarely provoked the strong of the human race. This Lord of Myriad Realms might not make a move against him.

After Lu Qingshan flew to him, Venerable Baiyu quickly greeted him respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Lord of Myriad Realms!"

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then said, "Venerable Baiyu, do you want to live or die?"

"Of course I want to live!" Venerable Baiyu's attitude was extremely respectful at this moment.

Because he knew in his heart that Lu Qingshan had asked such a question, he was probably willing to let him go, and that way his precious treasures might be saved.

"In that case..."

Lu Qingshan immediately said, "Hand over all the storage space you carry with you!"

"This……"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Baiyu was slightly taken aback, but still handed over all the spatial rings and world rings he had.

He had no intention of hiding, after all, to make such a small move under the nose of a super strong person like Lu Qingshan would undoubtedly be courting death.

Lu Qingshan waved his hand and brought the storage space that Venerable Baiyu had taken out to his front. Then, a wisp of divine power seeped into it, quickly removing the spiritual imprint on the other party, and then he discovered the many treasures inside.

These storage spaces don't contain many treasures. Apart from some treasures that can quickly restore one's divine body, there are only some ordinary and top-tier treasures left. There isn't even a single ordinary supreme treasure.

Given Venerable Baiyu's strength, the items in his storage space would certainly not be so meager.

The reason for this situation was that he had sent many of his treasures to a safe place before entering the True Spirit Hall, and only brought some treasures that could quickly restore divine power when he entered the True Spirit Hall.

With these treasures, he could have lasted a long time even against a typical universe lord, but unfortunately he encountered Lu Qingshan.

As for the other important and top-tier treasures, they were most likely obtained by Venerable Baiyu after he entered the True Spirit Palace.

Lu Qingshan casually browsed through the treasures in these storage spaces before handing them all back to Venerable Baiyu.

The reason he checked the other person's storage ring was simply to see if it contained any components of the True Spirit Lamp.

After all, when the True Spirit Palace was created, the stone tablet contained descriptions of many components of the True Spirit Heart Lamp.

If such a part existed, he would naturally take it directly.

But now that there are no relevant parts, Lu Qingshan naturally doesn't care about the ordinary treasures in Venerable Baiyu's storage space.

As for the treasures on Venerable Baiyu's body, they could be worth hundreds or even two hundred treasure points, but he has already broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, and his strength is considered top-tier among the Lords of the Universe. Naturally, he would not bully the weak because of the treasures on the other party's body.
