Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 438 The Harvest of a Long Year

After the strongest of the Giant Axe informed the human race of the universe's lords that the demon race had obtained the second supreme treasure, the Giant Axe meeting quickly ended.

After the Giant Axe Conference concluded, the Lord of Chaos City quickly relayed the order to cease operations against the demon race to the human race's cosmic venerables.

Of course, the actions of these cosmic sages have nothing to do with Lu Qingshan now.

So after the Giant Axe Conference ended, Lu Qingshan first chatted with his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, and told him that he had created the strongest secret technique of the Universe Lord Fusion.

Upon learning that Lu Qingshan had created the strongest secret technique for the fusion of the universe's masters, the Ice Peak Lord was naturally very excited.

After all, in the past, there were only three powerful beings among the human race who created the strongest secret technique that combined the power of the universe lord: the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, and Lord Peng Gong. Now, there is another one: Lu Qingshan, who is also his disciple.

Seeing his disciple surpass him, the Ice Peak Master was naturally very excited and thrilled.

In the virtual universe, atop Thunder Island, within the temple of the Lord of Ice Peaks.

"Qingshan!"

The Lord of Ice Peak looked at his disciple sitting beside him, feeling extremely satisfied: "You have created the strongest secret technique for the fusion of the Lord of the Universe, which means you have already reached the very pinnacle of the Lord of the Universe level!"

"However, I hope you will not slack off in the slightest, but continue to cultivate diligently, striving to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe and become a new pillar of strength for our human race!"

"Teacher, don't worry!"

Lu Qingshan quickly and solemnly replied, "This disciple will certainly cultivate diligently and will never let you down, Master!"

Of course, although Lu Qingshan said that, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe so easily.

It's not that Lu Qingshan lacked confidence in creating a sixth-order secret technique within a short period of time (hundreds of billions of epochs), thus entering the level of the strongest in the universe.

With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, his strength will definitely continue to improve. Even if the speed of acquiring chat group points is a little slow, as long as he accumulates hundreds of billions of epochs, he will be able to create a sixth-level secret technique.

However, there are two paths to becoming the strongest in the universe!
The first is the most common path of laws. As long as one can create a sixth-level secret technique, one can generally break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe through the path of laws. This is also the breakthrough path of most universe masters.
The second is naturally the path of divine power that Luo Feng took in the original work.

Only by taking the path of divine power can one achieve greater success in the future!
Especially after breaking through to 90,000 times or even 100,000 times the level of life genes, the potential for further breakthroughs will far exceed that of other experts of the same level.

Moreover, after breaking through to the strongest in the universe, during the evolution of the miniature universe, the breakthrough achiever has the opportunity to observe the process of chaotic evolution, which is the only time in a strong person's life that they can observe the process of chaotic evolution.

Observing the evolution of chaos will lead to a rapid increase in strength.

If one's strength is already very powerful before observing the evolution of chaos, then one's strength will become even more terrifying when observing the evolution of chaos.

Furthermore, the secret techniques for creating higher levels from lower realms also help to enhance comprehension and potential.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan naturally wanted to stay in the Universe Master stage for as long as possible.

Of course, even if Lu Qingshan doesn't break through to the level of the strongest in the universe, his strength can still continue to improve.

If he creates a top-tier sixth-order secret technique in the future, then his main body and second clone together will be the strongest combat power in the original universe, which is actually better than having all clones merge into one after he becomes the strongest in the universe.

"Qingshan!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan's confident demeanor, the Ice Peak Master quickly sighed, "Your strength has now far surpassed that of your master, and I will no longer be able to help you in any way!"

"However, I must give you one last piece of advice: always maintain a sense of awe for the universe, and never let your power make you lose all reverence!"

“Like your grandmaster, who was once unstoppable in the vast universe, but because he clashed with the original will of the primordial universe, the original will of the primordial universe seized the opportunity, and then your grandmaster was completely suppressed by the original will!”

After hearing the Ice Peak Lord's instructions, Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said, "Disciple understands!"

"Ok!"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly, and then chatted with Lu Qingshan about other things.

After spending most of the day communicating with the Lord of Ice Peak, Lu Qingshan finally got up to take his leave.

After Lu Qingshan left, the Ice Peak Master remained in the same spot, his mind constantly replaying the scenes of when he took Lu Qingshan as his disciple.

To be honest, when the Lord of Ice Peak chose to take Lu Qingshan as his disciple...

Firstly, it was due to Lu Qingshan's own diligent cultivation;
Secondly, it was because of the recommendation of his disciple, Venerable Yaoguang;

Thirdly, it was because Lu Qingshan asked him to revive his family that he realized Lu Qingshan was a sentimental person.

When the Ice Peak Master first accepted Lu Qingshan as his disciple, it was merely a casual act.

In the eyes of the Ice Peak Lord at the time, Lu Qingshan was probably only capable of reaching the level of an invincible king, with a slight chance of breaking through to the realm of a universe venerable.

What the Lord of Ice Peak didn't expect was that after Lu Qingshan became his disciple, he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm in a short time.

Because Lu Qingshan possessed an avatar, he held Lu Qingshan in high regard after he broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, since there weren't many Cosmic Venerables among the human race who possessed avatars.

Therefore, when he granted Lu Qingshan resources, he also gave Lu Qingshan some special guidance.

What the Ice Peak Lord didn't expect was that ever since he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, the shock that Lu Qingshan brought him had never stopped.

First, he easily killed one alien universe venerable after another. Later, as a universe venerable, he snatched food from the jaws of several universe lords. Finally, he directly broke through to the realm of universe lord...

Almost all of these events were beyond his expectations.

Even now, Lu Qingshan has created the strongest secret technique for the fusion of the universe masters, and has the hope of stepping into the realm of the strongest in the universe!

"It is indeed very difficult to break through from the realm of the Lord of the Universe to the realm of the strongest in the universe. Even Senior Brother Chaos and Senior Brother Darkness have not succeeded after cultivating for countless years!"

The Lord of Ice Peak couldn't help but secretly look forward to it: "However, my disciple has already created far too many miracles along the way. I hope he will have the opportunity to reach the realm of the strongest in the universe in the future!"

……

On the other side, after leaving his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peaks' mansion, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own temple and began to consider his next move.

"Now that I have created the strongest secret technique for the fusion of the universe masters, my strength has increased significantly again. It's time to resolve some issues that I couldn't resolve before!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself.

That's right!

Since the closure of the Primordial Star, over the past billions of epochs, Lu Qingshan, aside from cultivation, has spent his main body and second avatar adventuring in the cosmic sea. His slightly weaker second avatar primarily ventures into dangerous areas one level below the three most perilous regions. Over these billions of epochs, he hasn't encountered any fatal dangers, nor has he encountered any special eras or astonishing gains!

On the contrary, Lu Qingshan's main combatant encountered many opportunities and great gains while venturing into the three forbidden lands, but also faced many life-or-death crises.

Lu Qingshan's main battle clone possesses top-tier fourth-order strength, coupled with a massive reserve of divine power. Even when encountering the strongest beings in the universe, it can withstand them for a long time until other powerful beings from the human race come to its rescue.

Even so, his main battle clones had already perished three times while venturing into the three perilous lands.

The first time was in the inner domain of the Peak Realm. At that time, the Primordial Star had just closed for two hundred million epochs. He had been adventuring in the cosmic ship with the Lord of the Desolate Mirror. However, the Lord of the Desolate Mirror lost too much divine power, and it was troublesome to replenish it even through other clones.

Moreover, he and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror had been adventuring in the cosmic sea for nearly two hundred million epochs, and had gained quite a lot. Therefore, the Lord of the Desolate Mirror planned to return to the original cosmic territory to rest for a while.

After parting ways with the Lord of the Desolate Realm, he had been adventuring in the cosmic ship for a long time, so he decided to explore the other two forbidden lands and headed to the inner domain of the Peak Realm.

In a dangerous place within the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm, he unfortunately encountered a Fire Source Spirit at the level of the strongest being in the universe. He was eventually forced into a dead end by that Fire Source Spirit, and even the Chaos Returning Ruins Tower, a top-tier palace-type treasure, could not protect him.

Because of that fall, he lost many of his most precious treasures, including the God-Slaying Array Diagram, the Chaos Returning to Nothingness Tower, and the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword. It was arguably the most devastating loss he had ever suffered.

Later, the founder of the giant axe also went to that place, which was a deadly place for the Lord of the Universe but not fatally dangerous for the strongest in the universe, to search for the treasures he left behind after his fall. In the end, he only found the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword and the Nether Bamboo God-Slaying Armor.

However, the treasures that were found could not be given back to Lu Qingshan, but were instead contributed to the treasure trove of the human race once again.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan had accumulated a lot of resources while adventuring in the spaceship with the Lord of the Desolate Mirror. He eventually spent a sum of resources to redeem the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword, but he did not redeem the Nether Bamboo God-Slaying Armor again.

He discovered that with a massive supply of divine power, his ability to deal with danger was not much different whether he used a regular peak-level treasure armor or a top-grade peak-level treasure armor.

It's just that using the best quality of the ultimate treasure armor can sustain you for a longer time or consume less divine power.

However, the divine power consumed was negligible for Lu Qingshan, so he only exchanged for an ordinary peak-level treasure armor, and then used the remaining resources to exchange for other protective treasures.

The second fall also occurred within the inner domain of the Peak-Swept Realm.

That was eight hundred million years after the original star closed. At that time, Lu Qingshan was wandering in the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm. Because of his strong strength and massive reserves of divine power, he had made quite a name for himself.

Later, in the struggle for a top-tier soul-type treasure, he engaged in a three-way battle with the Skeleton Clan of the first reincarnation era and the Universe Lord of the human race of the second reincarnation era.

In the end, Lu Qingshan secretly joined forces with the Universe Lord of the human race in the second reincarnation era to force back the Universe Lord of the Skeleton Clan. Finally, he handed over many resources to the strongmen of the human race in the second reincarnation era, and only then did he manage to acquire that top-level soul treasure.

However, not long after, he was suddenly besieged by five Universe Lords of the Skeleton Clan, the weakest of whom was a fourth-order Universe Lord whose strength was almost equal to his.

In fact, if it were just a matter of continuing to fight, Lu Qingshan could still hold out until the strong members of the human race arrived to provide support.

However, the five Skeleton Clan Universe Lords had already made preparations before besieging him. After completely suppressing him, they took out a supreme palace-type treasure and directly suppressed him.

Just before the Skeleton Clan sent him to the miniature universe of the strongest being in their universe, Lu Qingshan self-destructed, and his many treasures naturally fell into the hands of the Skeleton Clan.

The third fall occurred inside the spaceship.

Back then, Lu Qingshan was suppressed by many universe lords of the Skeleton Clan in the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm, and then he self-destructed, losing all the treasures he possessed.

Because the treasure he carried wasn't particularly valuable, his losses weren't as severe as the first time. In addition, he had accumulated a lot of resources while adventuring in the cosmic sea, so he quickly exchanged for treasures in the human race's treasury and restored his strength.

However, the power of the Skeleton Clan far surpasses that of the human race. If he wants to take revenge, he can only rely on himself and cannot involve other powerful members of the human race.

Otherwise, if the human race is targeted by the Skeleton Clan, apart from a few universe lords like the Chaos City Lord, other universe lords will likely find it difficult to continue venturing into the cosmic sea.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan's revenge was only directed at the five Skeleton Clan Universe Lords who suppressed him. He couldn't afford to cause trouble for the other Skeleton Clan Universe Lords, otherwise, if the conflict escalated, he and the human race would be the ones to suffer.

Among the five Skeleton Clan Universe Lords, even the weakest possessed a top-tier palace-type treasure for protection. Given Lu Qingshan's strength at the time, he was utterly powerless against them.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan naturally chose to temporarily avoid the limelight and, after recovering his strength, returned directly to the spaceship to explore.

After wandering the inner domain of the cosmic ship for hundreds of millions of epochs, Lu Qingshan unexpectedly discovered the trace of a supreme treasure of the peak domain type.

Just when he was finally about to obtain that supreme treasure of the highest realm, he suddenly encountered the Demon Heart Saint Lord of the first reincarnation era!
This Demon Heart Saint Lord is of special life origin. In the first cycle of reincarnation, he was considered the strongest solitary being in the universe. He had no ties to any race, so he acted recklessly in the cosmic sea.

Furthermore, this Demon Heart Saint Lord possesses two supreme treasures, one for offense and one for defense, and his strength has reached the top of the eighth rank. Even the Divine Eye Clan is unwilling to provoke him.

When Lu Qingshan first met the Demon Heart Saint Lord, he intended to hand over the supreme treasure of the peak domain type. Unfortunately, the Demon Heart Saint Lord did not give him any time to react and annihilated his main battle body in one blow.

An attack at the top level of the eighth rank would have been unbearable even if he had been wearing the finest of the pinnacle treasure armor at the time, let alone the ordinary pinnacle treasure armor he was wearing.

Of course, Lu Qingshan had encountered more than just these three crises during his long journey in the cosmic sea.

But apart from these three crises, all the other crises he encountered were eventually resolved without serious harm, either by yielding to those powerful alien races, by escaping with his own strength, or by waiting for other powerful members of the Hong Alliance to arrive and provide support, and so on...

Moreover, when Lu Qingshan was adventuring in the Cosmic Sea, in addition to encountering many crises, he also encountered many opportunities.

First, there are some resources to be gained!

Over the past billions of epochs, his second avatar had been venturing into second-tier dangerous areas. Although he hadn't gained anything special, he had still accumulated resources worth over 13,000 treasure points.
As for the original body who ventured into the three forbidden zones, although he perished three times in succession, he still gained a lot of resources because there were more opportunities in the forbidden zones than in other places.

Over billions of epochs, Lu Qingshan has accumulated resources exceeding 60,000 Treasure Points.

This terrifying rate of resource accumulation even far surpasses that of a fifth-order universe lord like the Chaos City Lord.

But that's normal!
Firstly, although the Lord of Chaos City possesses three avatars, two of them are stationed in the Primal Secret Realm and the Initial Universe respectively, and usually only one avatar can venture into the Cosmic Sea.

Secondly, once the Chaos City Lord's avatar experiences a major battle and suffers severe loss of divine power, it must return to the original universe to recover for a period of time before it can continue its adventures, which wastes a lot of time.

With the divine power replenished by his endless divine sea clones, Lu Qingshan could instantly recover even if his divine power was severely depleted. Furthermore, with two clones adventuring in the cosmic sea together, the speed at which he accumulated resources was naturally much faster.

Of course, he perished three times in succession, also because he lost precious treasures and consumed a lot of resources.

However, after his first fall, the treasures he carried were not as precious as they were at the beginning. So even though he fell three times, the resources he possessed were still considerable.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at his current wealth: 38961 Treasure Points and 2631 Heavy Treasure Points.

Apart from that, the treasures on Lu Qingshan's second avatar remained largely unchanged, still including the Flowing Star Meteor Sword, the Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Armor, the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Stepping Boots, the Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Bell, and the Demon Heaven Domain (a top-grade treasure among high-level category treasures)...

Lu Qingshan's main combat body, however, carried the top-grade "Jingni" weapon, the top-grade "Nine Heavens Aurora Armor" armor, the top-grade "Phantom" combat boots, the high-level soul-type treasure "Soul-Suppressing Bell", and the top-grade domain-type treasure "Mifeng Domain"...
