Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 434 The Demon Clan's Fortuitous Armament
Within the virtual world of the Demon Clan's territory, in the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.

At this moment, many powerful members of the demon race have gathered in the temple belonging to the Dream Demon Ancestor, which is located in the very center of the virtual world.

They were all true high-ranking members of the demon race, beings at the level of universe masters.

"Exterminate the ban!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor's gaze swept over the group of universe lords of the demon race, and then he asked, "What brings you all here with you this time?"

"Demon Ancestor!"

The Lord of Annihilation quickly spoke up, saying, "In the past few million years, the human race, the insect race, and the machine race have been subtly uniting against my demon race, resulting in heavy losses for my demon race!"

"Up to now, during the opening of this Primal Star alone, our Demon Clan Alliance has already lost more than two thousand Universe Venerables, more than three hundred Universe Overlords, and fourteen Top Universe Overlords!"

"The combined number of powerful individuals lost by the human race, the demon race, and the insect race did not exceed that of our demon race!"

"Ok!"

After listening to the Lord of Annihilation's words, the Dream Demon Ancestor nodded slightly and said, "I remember you told me about this not long ago, but didn't I say there was no need to worry about it?"

"Demon Ancestor!"

The Lord of Annihilation quickly spoke again, saying, "We've come to see you this time mainly about the resurrection of those cosmic overlords and top-tier cosmic overlords!"

"We have resurrected almost all of the more than two thousand cosmic venerables who fell this time. The main problem is that those cosmic overlords have not been able to be resurrected by reversing time and space, which has made many powerful people in the clan and alliance uneasy!"

"The number of treasures emerging on the Primordial Star is decreasing, but during this period, the gains of our Demon Clan Alliance are the lowest, far lower than those of other super powers in the Primordial Universe!"

"Furthermore, the fact that those fallen cosmic overlords have been unable to resurrect for so long has caused some dissatisfaction among the alien races within the alliance!"

Hearing the Lord of Annihilation's words, the Dream Demon Ancestor remained calm. After pondering for a moment, he asked again, "What about the Universe Venerables within our clan?"

"The cosmic venerables within the clan have no objections!"

The Lord of Annihilation quickly said, "However, most of them have already returned to their clan's territory. Even if they venture out, they mostly do so in the secret realms of the universe within their clan's territory. Only those with extremely strong survival abilities dare to continue venturing to the Primordial Star!"

"That's good!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, then continued, "We don't need to care about the thoughts of those alien races within the alliance. As for those fallen cosmic overlords, we will definitely revive them after Zhenjiao and I return to the original universe!"

"This……"

The Lord of Annihilation quickly spoke again, saying, "Demon Ancestor, many alien races within the alliance are actually speculating that you and Demon Ancestor Zhen might be trapped in a dangerous place in the Cosmic Sea!"

"Do the thoughts of those alien races matter?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor's gaze swept over the group of universe lords of the demon race, and then he calmly said, "I'm afraid that's what you all think too. You came here this time with the intention of gathering information!"

Upon hearing Meng Yaozu's words, all the surrounding demon race lords fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the Dream Demon Ancestor spoke again.

"Zhenjiao and I are indeed in a dangerous place inside the spaceship!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice was very calm: "However, the two of us are not trapped, but are doing something big! We didn't tell you before simply because it wasn't done yet!"

"But you're all getting impatient now, so Zhenjiao and I discussed it and decided to tell you about it!"

Upon hearing Meng Yaozu's words, all the universe lords of the demon race were immediately relieved.

What they were most worried about was that the situation the alien race had described would occur, with both the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor trapped in the perilous depths of the cosmic sea and unable to escape.

Now that the Dream Demon Ancestor himself said that he was not trapped, they were naturally relieved.

At this moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor spoke again, saying, "The reason why Zhenjiao and I have not appeared in the Primordial Universe and the Cosmic Sea for so long is because we have discovered the trace of an extremely powerful treasure!"

"The most powerful treasure?"

"The most powerful treasure!"

After hearing what the Dream Demon Ancestor said, all the universe lords of the demon race were stunned, and then their faces showed excitement.

It should be understood that the most powerful treasures are the most precious treasures in the universe, and each one possesses extremely terrifying power.

If a fifth-order universe lord possesses an ultimate treasure, he could even withstand the attack of the strongest being in the universe head-on!
Unfortunately, even in the vast and boundless ocean of the universe, the number of supreme treasures is extremely rare.

Even among the strongest beings in the universe who survived one or two reincarnations, not every one of them had a supreme treasure protecting them, let alone the strongest beings in the original universe.

Just like the four top races today, only the insect race and the demon race possess the most powerful treasures.

Now, the demon race is about to possess its second supreme treasure. How could these demon race's cosmic lords not be excited?
"That's right!"

Seeing the expressions of the demon race's cosmic lords, the Dream Demon Ancestor quickly said, "This supreme treasure was first discovered by Zhenjiao, but it is protected by an energy shield!"

"After Zhenjiao discovered this supreme treasure, he quickly informed me, and I rushed over to help him break through the energy shield!"

"However, the energy contained in that energy shield is still very powerful. Zhenjiao and I bombarded that shield for nearly 10 billion epochs, but we still couldn't break it!"

"This……"

Upon hearing the Dream Demon Ancestor's words, the Lord of Annihilation quickly spoke up, "Demon race, should we go and help bombard that energy shield together?"

"Need not!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor quickly shook his head and said, "Your strength is too low. Even the strongest attack from a fifth-order Universe Lord cannot cause any damage to that light barrier!"

The difference between the Lord of the Universe and the strongest being in the universe is not simply a difference in secret techniques.

Like the Lord of the Universe, the strongest among them are those similar to the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of the Star River, who created top-tier fifth-order secret techniques.
However, once one breaks through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, even the weakest one is likely to be able to create a top-tier sixth-order secret technique, and even an average one is likely to be able to create a seventh-order secret technique.

The difference in secret techniques alone is as high as tens or even hundreds of times!
In addition, the divine power of someone who breaks through from the realm of the Lord of the Universe to the realm of the strongest being in the universe is a hundred times purer than before.

With a stronger foundation, even when using secret techniques of the same level, their power will be a hundred times greater than before.

However, even the strongest beings in the universe have their power greatly limited when fighting against the ruler of the universe.

Just like in the primordial universe, the strongest beings in the universe could only unleash the peak power of the sixth rank at most;

Although the strongest beings in the universe are not as restricted as they are in the primordial universe, the basic power they can draw upon is only equivalent to that of a universe master at the perfect gene level!

The most terrifying power is unleashed by the strongest beings in the universe when they are not fighting the ruler of the universe!

This is why, in something as simple as breaking through an energy shield, the efficiency of one of the universe's strongest beings far surpasses that of hundreds or thousands of universe lords.

"not to mention……"

The Dream Demon Ancestor continued, "The clan cannot be without strong individuals to oversee it. Now that neither Zhenjiao nor I can return to the original universe, the clan needs you universe lords to take charge!"

"Moreover, that defensive light shield has no energy replenishment. Now, with the constant bombardment from Zhenjiao and me, more than half of its energy has been consumed. I estimate that it will take at least several hundred million epochs, and at most several billion epochs, for Zhenjiao and me to break through that energy shield and obtain the supreme treasure inside!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing the Dream Demon Ancestor's words, the Blood Chisel Lord quickly laughed and said, "Once the two Demon Ancestors obtain the new supreme treasure, their strength will increase significantly. Let's see how the human race, the insect race, and the mechanical race will be able to fight against our demon race then?"

"That's right!"

"Blood Chisel is absolutely right!"

For a moment, all the lords of the universe among the demon race were excitedly discussing it.

It should be understood that even the strongest being in the universe would receive an immense boost from a supreme treasure.

The demon race already possesses a supreme treasure; if they were to acquire another, their overall strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"Alright!" The Dream Demon Ancestor quickly spoke again, reminding them, "Since we haven't obtained the supreme treasure yet, it's best for you to keep a low profile, otherwise, something unexpected might happen!"

"Keep this to yourselves, and don't tell anyone else, not even your close companions or the alien races in the alliance!"

"Even if those alien races within the alliance have grievances, let them say whatever they want. Once Zhenjiao and I have obtained the supreme treasure, we will naturally deal with it!"

"Yes, Demon Ancestor!"

"Don't worry, Demon Ancestor!"

In an instant, many of the demon race's universe lords nodded in agreement.

After learning that Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor had not returned to the original universe for a long time in order to obtain the most powerful treasure, these demon race universe lords no longer had their previous worries. Instead, they were all filled with high fighting spirit!

……

Initial universe, Chaos City.

On the other side, while Lu Qingshan handed over the components of the True Spirit Heart Lamp to the Lord of the Desolate Mirror, his main battle body and second avatar, who were active on the Primordial Star, also returned to their respective divine kingdoms.

After all, fewer and fewer treasures are being created on the Primal Star now, so there's no need for him to continue wasting his time on that Primal Star.

After gathering all the spoils from the original planet, Lu Qingshan quickly brought them to Chaos City.

Chaos City remains majestic and imposing; apart from some changes in the people living there, nothing else has changed.

Lu Qingshan, now shrunk in size, walked along the streets of Chaos City and soon arrived at the gate of a side hall next to the City Lord's Mansion.

Rumble!
Because Lu Qingshan had already submitted an application in the virtual universe before coming here, the bronze gate, which was over a hundred meters wide, opened with a bang as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the side hall.

After Lu Qingshan stepped inside, the heavy bronze door quickly closed again.

As soon as Lu Qingshan entered the side hall, he waved his hand and sent some of his unused treasures to the blue stone plate in front of him. After these treasures were appraised by the virtual universe system, gentle voices rang in Lu Qingshan's mind.

"The High-Grade Treasure Armor, when contributed to the clan, will yield a total of 45 Treasure Points. Lord of All Realms, would you like to contribute it to the clan's treasury?"

……

"A top-tier treasure weapon, if contributed to the clan, will yield 120 treasure points. Lord of all realms, would you like to contribute it to the clan's treasury?"

……

"A high-level palace-type treasure can be contributed to the clan and will yield 450 treasure points. Lord of all realms, would you like to contribute it to the clan's treasury?"

……

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement.

These treasures were mostly obtained by him during his adventures on the Primal Star over the past period. Apart from some treasures and resources left behind as rewards for his disciples and clansmen, the rest are basically all here.

Once a crack appeared on the cyan stone disc, and all the treasures contributed by Lu Qingshan were collected, the wealth he held became 4987 Treasure Points and 1861 Heavy Treasure Points!
"It seems that dealing with other universe lords is still more rewarding!"

Looking at the nearly five thousand Treasure Points in his hand, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.

You should know that after he exchanged for the Chaos Demon Suppression Tower in the clan's treasury, he only had a little over two hundred Treasure Points left.

This means that he obtained nearly five thousand Treasure Points during the opening of this Primal Star.

If the rulers of other universes in the universe knew about this, they would surely be extremely jealous.

In fact, Lu Qingshan gained even more than that.

The most precious of them all is undoubtedly the top-grade 'Nether Bamboo God-Slaying Armor' from the supreme treasure armor that he obtained from the demon race using the suppressed Lord of the Heavenly Wolf!

In addition, a large portion of these nearly five thousand treasure points came from treasures held by the Lord of Sirius.

Lu Qingshan only exchanged a little over two thousand treasure points for the treasures he actually obtained from the original star.

However, this is already quite good, mainly because he often goes to provide assistance after receiving distress signals from human groups or powerful members of the Hongmeng.

Although most of the time it's a wasted trip, the treasures that can get the Lords of the Universe to ask for help are at least top-tier treasure weapons. If there is any gain, you can at least get dozens of treasure points.

This is precisely why Lu Qingshan was able to accumulate so many resources over millions of years, far exceeding the speed at which he had previously accumulated resources in the cosmic sea.

"I have a lot of these Treasure Points, but they're not actually that useful!"

Looking at the nearly five thousand Treasure Points in his hand, Lu Qingshan quickly began to secretly plan in his mind: "Now, whether it is my main body or my second clone, the level of life genes has reached nearly ten thousand times. Although the level of life genes of my second clone is slightly lower, it is enough. There is no need to continue to improve it in the short term!"

"As for protective treasures, I no longer need the cheap ones, and I can't afford the expensive ones for the time being!"

The most valuable treasures Lu Qingshan currently possesses are undoubtedly the God-Slaying Array Diagram, the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword, and the Nether Bamboo God-Slaying Armor. If these three treasures were contributed to the human race's treasury, they could each obtain over ten thousand treasure points.

As for the other treasures, the most precious one is the Chaos Demon Suppression Tower, which he had just exchanged for not long ago.

"With the treasure points I currently possess, let alone exchanging them for treasures at the peak domain level, it would be impossible to even exchange them for the best of the peak supreme treasure weapons!"

As Lu Qingshan browsed through the many treasures in the human race's treasury, he secretly thought to himself, "Otherwise, I could also exchange a top-grade longsword from the pinnacle of treasures for my second clone, so that the strength of my second clone could be improved again!"

"I'll probably be adventuring in the cosmic sea for a while now, and I'll encounter more powerful beings than in the original universe!"

"In that case, it would be best to exchange for a top-tier treasure that assists in flight, which would give me a greater advantage in terms of movement!"

As the saying goes, "A skilled strategist achieves no great feats."
For a long time, Lu Qingshan has been exchanging for the ultimate combat boots that assist in flight.

For example, the high-grade treasure boots 'Fleeting Light and Shadow', the top-grade treasure boots 'Sky-Splitting Cloud-Stepping Boots', and so on...

These combat boots, though seemingly useless in battle, actually greatly enhanced Lu Qingshan's agility and burst speed, among other things...

That is precisely why Lu Qingshan was able to be more at ease and composed in battles in the special environment of the Primitive Star!
His current wealth is insufficient to exchange for top-tier weapons among those ultimate treasures, or treasures of the ultimate domain level. Exchanging for a top-tier treasure that assists in flight is naturally a good option.

Having made his decision, Lu Qingshan quickly began browsing through the pinnacle treasure of the human race: the combat boots.

There are only a few Supreme Treasure Boots among the human race, a total of only five. Except for one of them, which has an exchange price of over 10,000 Treasure Points, the other Supreme Treasure Boots are all priced below 5,000 Treasure Points.

"What a good thing!"

Looking at the 'Ghostly Shadow' boots, which cost a whopping 19800 Treasure Points, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim, "This 'Ghostly Shadow' boots are definitely among the best of the best!"

However, the 'Ghostly Shadow' was far beyond what Lu Qingshan could currently exchange for, so he quickly turned his attention to a pair of dark gold combat boots covered with endless law runes.

Dragon Soul Boots: The ultimate treasure boots, requiring 3980 treasure points to obtain.

After a moment's thought, Lu Qingshan quickly submitted his application to exchange for the Dragon Soul Boots.

Boom! !
After Lu Qingshan paid the corresponding treasure points, the cyan stone disc in front of him cracked open again, and a pair of dark gold combat boots quickly flew out from it.

"Dragon Soul Boots!"

Lu Qingshan immediately released a wisp of divine power that permeated the body, and after completing the recognition process, he received an ancient message.

The power of these Dragon Soul Boots was obviously much stronger than the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Stepping Boots he had worn before, so Lu Qingshan directly handed the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Stepping Boots to his second clone.

As for the Swift Shadow Boots originally used by his second clone, he did not return them to the clan's treasury, but instead reserved them to be bestowed upon his disciples in the future.

At this point, Lu Qingshan clearly didn't have many Treasure Points left, so he naturally wouldn't exchange them for any other useless treasures.

After leaving Chaos City, Lu Qingshan first rested in the Divine Kingdom and familiarized himself with the newly exchanged treasures. Then he sent his main body and second avatar to the Cosmic Sea.
