Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 435 The Demon Clan's Schemes Through the Long Years

The cosmic sea, with endless chaotic currents of energy drifting about.

In one region near the primordial universe, the membrane of the primordial universe is being constantly torn apart.

Even as the primordial universe continues to recover, it can never completely heal this torn hole, because inside this membrane, the most powerful black hole in the primordial universe is constantly tearing this membrane apart.

brush!brush!
Just then, two towering figures suddenly appeared in the cosmic sea outside the primordial universe. The pressure of the endless chaotic energy was very strong, but it felt like a gentle breeze to them.

One of the two figures was wearing black armor that emitted a ghostly light, while the other was wearing dark gold armor. They were Lu Qingshan's main battle body and second clone.

Although the world was still in the initial stage of its creation, the quantity and quality of the treasures that were being created had already begun to decline significantly. Therefore, he sent his main body and his second avatar to explore the primordial universe.

call!
Lu Qingshan instantly teleported to a void.

This void contains a total of 39 twisted spatial pores, all of which are naturally formed spatial wormholes in the cosmic sea. Entering one of them allows one to traverse an incredibly vast distance.

"It's not advisable for the main body and the clone to travel together during this expedition into the cosmic sea!"

Looking at the 39 spatial wormholes ahead, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Otherwise, if I encounter any fatal danger, all the treasures on my body will be lost!"

It should be noted that Lu Qingshan currently does not have many resources or spare treasures besides the treasure he is using.

With his current strength, he is relatively safe even in the cosmic sea.

However, in this cosmic sea, there are not only many alien universe's strongest beings, but also many dangerous places. Even the universe's strongest beings dare not say that they are absolutely safe, let alone Lu Qingshan in his current state.

If Lu Qingshan's two clones were to venture out together, they might both perish simultaneously.

After all, Lu Qingshan's current ability to protect himself is already quite strong. If he encounters ordinary danger, even his weaker second clone can escape.

If the danger is truly fatal, even if both clones act together, it will be of no use!
If Lu Qingshan's two clones perish at the same time, it will take him much more effort to regain his current strength.

Therefore, it's better for the two clones to act separately. This way, even if one clone falls, the other clone can still maintain a high level of strength thanks to its treasures.

"In that case..."

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision: "Let the main battle body carry the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword, the Nether Bamboo God-Slaying Armor, the God-Slaying Array Diagram, the Chaos Demon-Suppressing Tower, the Dragon Soul Boots, the Floating Pagoda Heart Lamp, and other equipment to the boundless sand sea inside the spaceship to find the Lord of the Desolate Mirror!"

"As for the second clone, there's no need for it to venture into the three most dangerous places. It only needs to carry treasures such as the Flowing Star Meteor Sword, the Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Armor, the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Stepping Boots, and the Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell to venture into some less dangerous places. This way, splitting up will definitely be safer!"

After making this decision, Lu Qingshan's main body and second clone immediately separated and entered different spatial wormholes.

The second clone headed to Sunset Canyon, a second most dangerous place in the cosmic sea, while the main combatant set off for the boundless sand sea inside the spaceship to meet with the Lord of the Desolate Mirror.

Teleport, teleport...

Space wormhole, space wormhole...

Flying, flying...

Switching between various means of travel, Lu Qingshan finally met up with the Lord of the Wilderness in the boundless sand sea area inside the spaceship after traveling for five days.

After reuniting, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror began to explore the boundless sand sea area within the spaceship.

However, the resources they obtained during their adventures in the spaceship were not as plentiful as what they had gained on the original planet.

Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Wilderness Mirror had been venturing into this boundless desert region for nearly five million years without encountering any truly amazing treasures.

Of course, during their nearly five million years of adventure, they also gained other rewards, which added up to over a thousand treasure points, so it wasn't a wasted effort.

It wasn't until 5.3 million years after Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror had been adventuring in this boundless sea of ​​sand that they finally encountered the scene of a supreme treasure weapon being born.

However, at the same time they discovered that supreme treasure weapon, two other cosmic lords from different factions also discovered that treasure.

Among these two forces are two Universe Lords of the Sea Eagle Clan from the Second Cycle Era, and the Pure Eye Lord of the Divine Eye Clan from the First Cycle Era.

Although there is only one Lord of the Pure Eye, he possesses the strength of the fifth rank; as for the two Universe Lords of the Second Cycle Era, they are both at the fourth rank, which is comparable to Lu Qingshan and Lord of the Desolate Mirror.

And so, the three sides clashed over the treasure.

Although the Lord of the Pure Eyes is powerful, he cannot fight against so many opponents.
Although Lu Qingshan and his companion, along with the two Universe Lords of the Sea Eagle Clan, were able to cooperate with their partners, they could not escape the entanglement of the Pure Eye Lord's supreme domain-type treasure.

After a fierce battle, the three parties finally reached an agreement on the distribution of that ultimate treasure weapon.

The supreme treasure, worth approximately 1,100 treasure points in the human race's treasury, belonged to Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror. However, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror took out a treasure worth 800 treasure points and distributed it to the Lord of the Pure Eye Clan of the Divine Eye Clan and two Universe Lords of the Sea Eagle Clan.

This distribution plan seems to indicate that Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Wilderness Mirror were at a disadvantage, receiving dozens less in treasure points.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated!
Because top-tier treasures are extremely rare, even the most ordinary top-tier treasure weapons are like that.

If this supreme treasure weapon were offered to the alien universe lords in the Hong Alliance who do not possess such weapons, they would likely be willing to offer 1,300 or even 1,500 treasure points in exchange.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lord of the Pure Eye and the Sea Eagle Clan, those two universe lords, had already lived through countless years and that they and their respective forces did not lack such ordinary peak-level treasure weapons, it would have been a very troublesome matter for Lu Qingshan and his group to complete this transaction.

After this great battle, both Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Wilderness suffered considerable damage to their divine bodies.

This naturally had no impact on Lu Qingshan. The Lord of the Desolate Mirror had also nurtured a Great God Body clone, so he quickly replenished his divine power and then ventured into the cosmic sea with Lu Qingshan again.

And so, time continued to pass.

While adventuring in the cosmic sea with the Lord of the Desolate Mirror, Lu Qingshan was also constantly striving to cultivate.

For example, fighting against some powerful beings encountered in the cosmic sea, thereby honing oneself;
For example, they could go to the Ancestral God Cult to continue receiving the Beast God's inheritance, and comprehend other Beast God paths that they have not yet fully understood, etc...

During this time, Lu Qingshan's Endless Divine Sea clone was also constantly chatting in the chat group, accumulating points.

Once he has accumulated enough points, he will look for a suitable opportunity to activate the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group; if he doesn't have enough points, he will cultivate on his own.

And so, time passed silently, and soon it was time for the original star to shut down.

The closure of the Primordial Star is certainly important to those Universe Lords who are not yet capable of venturing into the Cosmic Sea, but for a powerful figure like Lu Qingshan who has already begun venturing into the Cosmic Sea, it is merely a minor matter.

Even if the human race, the insect race, and the machine race joined forces and killed nearly four thousand cosmic venerables and nearly five hundred cosmic overlords of the demon race alliance during the opening of the primordial star, it would still be considered a small matter to the true leaders of the four peak forces.

After all, the biggest pillar of the four super powers is still the strongest beings in the universe, with at most some universe lords added.

Of course, the fact that the fallen cosmic overlord within the Demon Clan Alliance has not been resurrected by reversing time and space has also had a certain impact on the Demon Clan Alliance.

However, in retrospect, the time that those cosmic overlords spent falling was still too short.

If it weren't during the initial opening of the primordial star, it would be quite normal that even after tens of millions of epochs, they would not be able to be resurrected by reversing time and space after their fall.

Furthermore, since there were no anomalies in the miniature universes of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor, the human race, the insect race, and the machine race were not in a hurry to increase their efforts to deal with the demon race. After all, the struggle between such super powers was a matter of great importance, and it was impossible to rush into it.

For example, when the Northern Frontier Alliance was established, the Lord of the Black Lotus and others planned for an extremely long period of time.

It is quite rare for forces such as the demon race to unite and attack the human race in a very short time after Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of the Broken East River and the founder of the Giant Axe fell, as depicted in the original work.

After all, if they don't act quickly, the human race might produce a new strongest being in the universe in a short time after they inherit the legacy, making it even more difficult for them to take action against the human race!

Since the human race, the insectoid race, and the machine race are currently unable to ascertain the situation of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor, they will naturally not launch a decisive battle rashly.

Focusing the main combat force on the stages of Cosmic Venerable and Cosmic Overlord, and slowly boiling the frog in lukewarm water, is the best choice.

And so, time continued to pass.

One thousand epochs, ten thousand epochs, one hundred thousand epochs, one million epochs, ten million epochs...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than two billion epochs have passed since the original star was shut down.

Two billion epochs is undoubtedly an extremely long time for ordinary life.

Even world lord-level powerhouses with lifespans of tens of millions of years have fallen more than two million times.

But for a powerful being standing at the pinnacle of the universe, more than two billion epochs is far too short a time, so short that it is not worth mentioning at all!
Even the effects of the last opening of the Primordial Star haven't dissipated yet. Those powerful individuals who obtained the core components of the treasures during the Primordial Star's opening are still continuously collecting other parts of the treasures, such as the Lord of the Desolate Mirror who obtained the core body of the True Spirit Heart Lamp, and so on...

Meanwhile, in an extremely dangerous area within the inner domain of the spaceship, two figures were relentlessly bombarding a defensive light shield.

One of them was an incredibly huge silver-white serpent, surrounded by hundreds of millions of serpent shadows, and even the surrounding space was completely distorted into a vortex.

The other was a strange behemoth with a jagged shell, which looked extremely ferocious.

These two figures were the two strongest beings from the demon race of the primordial universe: Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor.

Over a hundred billion epochs ago, they had been bombarding the defensive light shield in this dangerous area. Now, the transparent light shield in front of them was finally becoming shaky and wouldn't hold for much longer. "Shockwave!"

As they continued to bombard the defensive light shield ahead, the Dream Demon Ancestor suddenly spoke up: "Extinction Forbidden just told me that the Ink Dragon Lord within the alliance has decided to lead his clan to break away from my Demon Clan Alliance!"

"court death!"

After hearing what the Dream Demon Ancestor said, the Zhen Demon Ancestor quickly said in a cold voice, "Meng Cha, the Mo Jiao Clan should be the first powerful clan to break away from my Demon Clan Alliance!"

"That's right!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor quickly nodded and said, "In the past billions of epochs, because the two of us have been unable to appear and revive those fallen cosmic overlords within the alliance, some races within the alliance have chosen to leave our Demon Race Alliance!"

"However, these separated races are mostly ordinary and weak races, and their impact on our demon race is negligible, so there's no need to worry about them too much!"

"This time, the Lord of the Ink Dragon chose to lead the Ink Dragon Clan to break away from our Demon Clan Alliance. After all, the Lord of the Ink Dragon is a fourth-order Universe Lord, and the Ink Dragon Clan also has another Universe Lord, so the impact on our Demon Clan is quite significant!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhen Yaozu quickly spoke up, saying, "After this period of continuous bombardment, this defensive light shield is already at its limit. It should break in the next day or two!"

"As long as we get our hands on this supreme treasure, we'll soon be able to return to the original universe and resurrect those fallen cosmic overlords. Then things will naturally get better!"

"As for the Lord of the Ink Dragon, it's not advisable to attack him in the short term. But let's see which force dares to accept his Ink Dragon Clan in the future!"

"That's true!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, then said with considerable relief, "Fortunately, no one has appeared here during this time, otherwise, once the news of this supreme treasure spread, it would definitely attract other powerful figures!"

"There are very few strong individuals who venture into this region to begin with!"

Zhen Yaozu smiled and said, "I was just casually wandering around this area when I first arrived. I never expected to discover the movement of this supreme treasure. This can be considered as good luck for my demon race!"

While exchanging information, the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor were also relentlessly bombarding the defensive light shield in front of them.

Suddenly……

With a 'poof' sound, the defensive light barrier in front of them suddenly shattered, revealing a black, cone-shaped treasure. The space around it was constantly being destroyed and restored.

"This is……"

The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the cone-shaped treasure in front of him and then said, "It looks like a supreme treasure weapon, but I wonder if it's a telekinetic weapon!"

Upon seeing this cone-shaped treasure, neither Dream Demon Ancestor nor Tremor Demon Ancestor showed any disappointment.

Because once you reach the level of supreme treasure, even the most ordinary weapon will have amazing effects.

Palace-type supreme treasures are rather special. As for other weapons, armor, domain-type supreme treasures, etc., they each have their own advantages, and there is no distinction between them.

"Shaking angle!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor quickly said, "You gave me the supreme treasure armor last time, so this supreme treasure should also belong to you!"

It should be noted that the supreme treasure armor that the Dream Demon Ancestor possessed was something they had acquired together back then.

However, since Zhen Yaozu was more skilled in defense, and the Supreme Treasure Armor was also primarily good at defense, it was given to Meng Yaozu, whose defensive capabilities were slightly weaker. This way, Meng Yaozu would be safer when adventuring in the cosmic sea.

"Let me first see what this supreme treasure is all about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Yaozu immediately released a wisp of divine power that seeped into the cone-shaped supreme treasure.

After a moment, Zhen Yaozu spoke again, saying, "This is indeed an extremely powerful and precious weapon, mainly suitable for close combat, but it can also be used as a telekinetic weapon!"

"Moreover, this supreme treasure weapon is quite compatible with me. With a little practice, it should be able to raise my attack power to the eighth level!"

"Eight levels?"

After hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Meng Yaozu's face quickly showed a hint of surprise.

It's important to understand that although they are all the strongest beings in the universe, there is a huge gap in their strength.

The weakest being in the universe among the strongest beings in the cosmic sea generally only possesses the strength of a top-tier sixth-order being.

Such universe-strongest beings are generally those with little experience who did not receive much improvement during the evolution of small universes. There are only three or four such universe-strongest beings in the entire universe.

With their basic power restricted, even in the cosmic sea, they would find it difficult to pose a significant threat to those fifth-order universe lords.

The average strongest being in the universe can create a seventh-order secret technique after the small universe evolution ends. This is already considered the average level among the strongest beings in the universe. The two of them are at this level.

Some of the strongest beings in the universe can create top-tier seventh-order secret techniques. The Dream Demon Ancestor, with his supreme treasure armor, can also unleash this level of power. Such beings are already considered quite powerful in the cosmic sea!

As for the strength of the eighth level, it is already considered quite powerful in the universe!
Apart from a very few powerful individuals who created this level of secret techniques, the strongest beings in the universe can only possess this level of strength by relying on supreme treasures.

For example, the Zerg Queen created her own top-tier seventh-order secret technique, but when combined with the supreme treasure of the palace type, she also possessed the strength of the eighth-order level.

As for the current strongest being in the Cosmic Sea, the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan, even with his accompanying supreme treasure, he can only unleash attacks at the top level of the ninth rank.

"That's right!"

Zhen Yaozu quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Now that I possess this 'Domain-Shattering Cone,' there are very few strongest beings in the universe stronger than me!"

"Great!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor immediately smiled and said, "Now that Zhenjiao's strength has greatly improved, the status of my demon race in this universe will be greatly enhanced!"

"Now that we have the most powerful treasure, should we return to the original universe immediately to put the other races in the alliance at ease?"

"Not urgent!"

Zhen Yaozu quickly said in a deep voice, "Those races within the alliance are just minor matters. What I'm thinking about now are the human race, the insectoid race, and the machine race!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Meng Yaozu was slightly taken aback: "Zhenjiao, what do you mean?"

"Humph!"

Zhen Yaozu snorted coldly, then continued, "These three top clans have been targeting my demon race for some time now. Since my strength has increased so much this time, I naturally want to take this opportunity to deal with these three top clans!"

"I plan to take this opportunity to attack one of the Giant Axe, the Queen, or the Machines. If we can catch them off guard and kill one of them, then the four top races will become three top races!"

"This……"

Upon hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Meng Yaozu was completely stunned.

After a moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor solemnly asked, "Zhenjiao, are you confident?"

It should be noted that although the strongest beings in the universe may occasionally perish in the cosmic sea, most of them perish in various dangerous environments.

The number of the strongest beings in the universe who were actually killed by other powerful beings is still very small.

In the entire universe, perhaps only the original ancestor and the seven true masters of the Divine Eye Clan, working together, would have had the opportunity to easily kill some of the weaker strongest beings in the universe.

"You can give it a try!"

Zhen Yaozu quickly spoke up, saying, "This time, the main reason is that my strength has greatly increased, and Giant Axe and the others didn't receive any news at all! Moreover, the 'Giant Elephant Demon God' from the second reincarnation era owes my demon race a great favor, so we can invite him to join us this time!"

"The first thing to do now is to choose one of the three, Giant Axe and his gang, as our target!"

"Then let's go with the giant axe!"

After a moment of thought, the Dream Demon Ancestor quickly spoke up: "The Zerg Queen possesses a supreme treasure of the palace type, which gives her an extremely strong ability to protect herself. Even if the seven True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan joined forces, they might not be able to defeat her!"

"Neither the giant axe nor the machine has a supreme treasure to protect them, and their strengths are about the same. However, the machine is skilled in mechanical combat and is more troublesome than the giant axe. Therefore, we have a better chance of success if we attack the giant axe!"

"The giant axe is indeed the easiest to deal with!"

After listening to the Dream Demon Ancestor's analysis, the Tremor Demon Ancestor quickly nodded and said, "Alright, let's make that giant axe our target!"

"Next, you should arrange for the strong members of your clan to carefully investigate the whereabouts of that giant axe. I should also familiarize myself with this newly acquired Domain Shattering Cone. Then, we'll invite the Giant Elephant Demon God to join us in this operation, and together we'll surround and kill that giant axe!"

"it is good!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor nodded solemnly and said, "I will make the arrangements immediately and will definitely find out the whereabouts of that giant axe!"
