Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 454 Interstellar Conflict, Breakthrough of Will
Time keeps flowing and never stops for any particular strong person.

In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed since Lu Qingshan arrived in this black-patterned stone pillar space.

For over two thousand years, Lu Qingshan has been honing his will in a region where the flow of time is three thousand times faster than normal, while also diligently studying the Path of the Beast God, which he has yet to fully comprehend...

However, at Lu Qingshan's current level, improving his strength is not something that can be done overnight.

Therefore, even though Lu Qingshan had cultivated for over seven million years under the accelerated time, his strength had not improved much in the past two thousand years.

"The years of cultivation are really boring!"

Lu Qingshan sat atop a massive boulder that flew around the black-patterned stone pillar, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, Lu Qingshan wasn't too bothered by it, since compared to other powerful individuals, he was already considered very lucky.

Because other powerful individuals are limited by their own comprehension, if they only focus on cultivation, it is generally difficult for them to continue to improve their strength after reaching their limit.

Just like the Star Lord Bei Chi who has been cultivating in seclusion within this black-patterned stone pillar space.

This Lord Beichi Star was a super strong being from the first reincarnation era. The time flow rate in his region was as high as 130,000 times. Now, after a long period of time, the total cultivation time of this Lord Beichi Star has accumulated to the point that he has already experienced countless reincarnation eras.

Although the opponent was quite powerful, he was not even comparable to the first true master of the Divine Eye Clan, let alone having gone through reincarnation and created a new holy land universe.

In the original work, the primordial ancestor was incredibly talented when he first started cultivating. Not long after entering the realm of the strongest in the universe, he gained the strength of an invincible universe sea and even wanted to possess the primordial universe...

However, as his cultivation level improved, the original ancestor's cultivation speed slowed down considerably. When he went to the Origin Continent, he only had the strength of a Void True God. Later, with Luo Feng's help, he was able to successfully enter the God King realm!
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, was able to continue cultivating and becoming stronger because of the enlightenment enhancement function within the chat group, which was already a very rare thing.

However, in such a short period of time, even Lu Qingshan himself would find it difficult to make a significant breakthrough in strength without the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group.

Meanwhile, in a rather dangerous area within the Qingfeng Realm, three figures were engaged in a fierce battle.

Two of the powerful beings belonged to one side. One was an incredibly enormous silver-white serpent, surrounded by countless serpent shadows, which even distorted the surrounding space into a vortex. The other was a strange behemoth with a serrated shell, which looked extremely ferocious. These two powerful beings were the two strongest beings of the original universe demon race, Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor.
On the other side was a huge black oval sphere, from which hunched figures were constantly shooting out, totaling more than nine thousand hunched figures.

Each of these hunched figures is tens of thousands of kilometers tall, made entirely of metal, with eight arms and braids hanging down around their heads.

This black oval sphere is none other than the greatest being of the Machine Race in the primordial universe, the Machine Race Father God.

Those hunched figures were mechanical puppets controlled by the mechanical god, each possessing incredible power.

Roar! Roar! Roar...

The mighty army of mechanical puppets roared directly toward the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor. Each mechanical puppet was controlled by the burning divine power of the Mechanical Race Father God, and its power was incredible, just like a controlled telekinetic weapon.

As the only being to reach the pinnacle of intelligent life evolution and become the strongest being in the universe, the mechanical father god's computational abilities and multitasking skills are unparalleled in the cosmos.

It should be understood that if a single mechanical life form at the level of a universe master is enough to serve as the intelligent core of the virtual universe and maintain its operation, then how terrifying must the computing power of the mechanical father god be?
These more than nine thousand mechanical puppets, each seemingly possessing a true soul, directly surrounded and attacked Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor.

"boom!"

More than five thousand mechanical puppets simultaneously unleashed a punch towards the direction of the Demon Ancestor. Each punch was exquisite and perfectly combined, forming a mighty and ferocious punch that could ravage the heavens and the earth.

The power of this punch is so great that it could probably annihilate any cosmic lord who is not protected by a top-grade supreme treasure armor.

"Break it for me!"

Zhen Yaozu directly controlled his recently acquired supreme treasure, the 'Shattering Domain Cone,' and used it to pierce through one of the black puppets.

Rumble!
Zhen Yaozu was blasted millions of kilometers away by a single punch, but he was not harmed in any way.
On the contrary, the mechanical puppet that was hit by the 'Shattering Domain Cone' has already suffered visible damage.

"This, this is impossible!"

After witnessing the damage to the mechanical puppet, even the mechanical god found it hard to believe.

After all, the materials he used to create the mechanical puppet were extremely precious, basically all of which were materials used to create top-tier treasures.

Although each puppet doesn't use many materials, it's not something that even the strongest beings in the universe can easily destroy.

"It's that weapon!"

After a brief sensing, the Mechanical Father God quickly discovered that the Demon Ancestor's strength had increased significantly: "Is that the most powerful treasure?"

"Damn it! How come this demon race is so lucky? They actually obtained a second supreme treasure?"

Just as various thoughts flashed through the mind of the Mechanical Race Father God, the next attacks from the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor were already imminent.

Faced with the greatly enhanced power of the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Mechanical God dared not be careless and quickly released more than a thousand mechanical puppets.

At this moment, the number of mechanical puppets reached 10081. Under the full control of the mechanical father god, they were like a whole, combined together, and unleashed a power far exceeding the imagination of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

"damn it!"

After enduring an attack from tens of thousands of mechanical puppets, the Dream Demon Ancestor couldn't help but transmit his voice to the Tremor Demon Ancestor, "Tremor Ancestor, how come these machines are so powerful?"

"It's his mechanical puppets!"

Zhen Yaozu was also helpless at this moment: "This machine has been hiding its strength all along. Its tens of thousands of puppets working together are actually no less powerful than mine!"

"Everyone says that the mechanical race doesn't have any supreme treasures, but the combined power of these mechanical puppets is probably no less than that of a supreme treasure!"

While exchanging telepathic messages, Zhen Yaozu and Meng Yaozu realized that they no longer had the chance to kill the Mechanical Race Father God, so they naturally stopped fighting.

Meanwhile, after seeing that Dream Demon Ancestor and Tremor Demon Ancestor had stopped fighting, the Mechanical Race Father God quickly put away all the mechanical puppets: "Dream Tea, Tremor Horn, I didn't expect that your demon race would actually obtain a second supreme treasure!"

"Mechanical, haven't you been hiding your strength all along too?"

Zhen Yaozu immediately said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for Mengcha and me attacking you together this time, I'm afraid no one in the universe would know that you are so powerful, right?"

"Hahaha!"

The mechanical god immediately laughed loudly, "If I hadn't been hiding my strength, wouldn't I have been outmaneuvered by the two of you this time?"

"Just you wait, this isn't over yet!"

After saying this, the mechanical father god immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.

At this moment, Zhen Yaozu quickly looked in another direction: "Golden Emperor Demon God, you've been watching for so long, it's time to show yourself!"

"Hahaha! I never expected that you two little guys from this reincarnation era would be able to obtain two supreme treasures. It's truly enviable!"

Before the words were finished, a child's figure suddenly appeared in the distant void.
This child has thirteen pairs of arms and is none other than the Golden Radiance Demon God, the strongest being in the universe from the Dream Eater Clan, one of the seven peak clans of the Second Cycle Era.

It should be understood that many forces that have experienced a complete primordial universe era, such as the First and Second Cycle Eras, generally need two or more of the strongest beings in the universe to be considered as peak forces.

However, the Dream Eater Clan only has one strongest being in the universe, yet they can still be considered a top-tier power. The fundamental reason for this is that their leader, the Golden Emperor Demon God, possesses extremely terrifying strength.

"Golden Demon God!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor immediately said, "Please do not leak the news that my demon race has obtained a second supreme treasure!"

"No leaks?"

The Golden Demon God let out a crisp laugh: "Tsk tsk, your demon race joined forces to deal with that mechanical race father god this time, causing him to suffer a silent loss and revealing his strength. He probably won't leak the information on his own. Next, your demon race will probably use this opportunity to deal with others, right?"

"Let me guess, are you going to deal with the giant axe of the human race, or the Zerg Queen? The Zerg Queen possesses a palace-type treasure, and even if you obtain a new supreme treasure, you won't be able to do anything to her. I'm afraid you're going to deal with the giant axe next, right?"

"Fine! No matter who you're going to deal with, if you want me to keep this information from leaking out, fine, just bring me a supreme treasure of the peak domain level!"

The Golden Demon God laughed and said, "As long as you give me a supreme treasure of the peak domain level, I will keep your secret!"

"Golden Demon God, you..."

After hearing the words of the Golden Emperor Demon God, the Dream Demon Ancestor glared angrily.

"how?"

The Golden Demon God immediately said in a cold voice, "You are unwilling? Or do you want to fight me?"

It should be noted that the Golden Emperor Demon God is not only extremely powerful, but also possesses a supreme treasure of the palace type for protection.

Even if the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor joined forces, or even if several more of the strongest beings in the universe attacked the opponent together, the opponent would still be able to escape unscathed.

"Shaking angle!"

Upon hearing Jinhuang Demon God's words, Dream Demon Ancestor immediately transmitted his voice to Zhen Demon Ancestor beside him, asking, "What should we do?"

"Ignore this Golden Emperor Demon God!" Zhen Yaozu quickly said, "We've already attacked the giant axe and the machine, but unfortunately, neither of them succeeded!"

"As long as we continue to make our moves in the cosmic sea, the news that we have obtained the supreme treasure will definitely leak out. There is no need to spend another peak-level domain-type supreme treasure for this!"

At this point, Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor merely glanced at Golden Emperor Demon God before transforming into two streaks of light and flying away into the distance.

"Ok?"

The Golden Emperor Demon God was clearly surprised that Dream Demon Ancestor and Zhen Demon Ancestor left so decisively. He had originally thought that he could gain some benefits this time.

"Hmph! Since you refuse to hand over your supreme treasure, I'll let the other forces know that you've obtained the most powerful treasure!"

With this in mind, the Golden Emperor Demon God quickly contacted many familiar powerful figures and spread the news that the demon race of the primordial universe had obtained the second supreme treasure and then fought against the father god of the mechanical race.

……

On the other side, Lu Qingshan, who had been honing his will within the space of the black-patterned stone pillar, was naturally unaware of the news that the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zhen Demon Ancestor had just fought a great battle with the Mechanical Race Father God.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan got up again as usual and flew towards the black-patterned stone pillar at the core.

This is something he has often done over the past two thousand years, but each time he can't last long before he has to fly back to the original area.

As Lu Qingshan continued flying forward, the boundless and powerful will emanating from the black-patterned stone pillar in front of him was constantly crushing down on him, just like billions of blood-stained black-armored legions roaring and charging incessantly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With roars and endless waves of will, the impact surged like a tide, relentlessly crushing Lu Qingshan's will.

"Just a little bit!"

"Just a little bit closer!"

Lu Qingshan's will was also roaring wildly!
His will had long since reached the limit of the level of the Lord of the Universe, and sometimes all it took was a single opportunity or a slight touch to break through.

"Break through!"

As Lu Qingshan drew ever closer to the black-patterned stone pillar, his will roared furiously.

boom! ! !
Like a bolt of lightning!
It was as if the endless chaotic world had directly evolved into the universe with billions of stars and countless living beings...

Just at this moment!
Lu Qingshan's will began to leap with joy, instantly giving rise to a feeling of exhilaration, like a bird soaring freely in the sky or a fish leaping in the vast sea, or a giant dragon trapped in shallow waters returning to the ocean...

An incredibly powerful will emanated directly from Lu Qingshan's body, constantly clashing with the immense will emanating from the black-patterned stone pillar.

"Hahaha!"

A look of satisfaction flashed across Lu Qingshan's face: "Finally, I've broken through!"

"go ahead!"

Whoosh!
After his will broke through, Lu Qingshan transformed into a streak of light and quickly approached the black-patterned stone pillar. Meanwhile, the flow of time around him began to accelerate.
Four thousand times, five thousand times, five thousand five hundred times...

When the flow of time reached about six thousand times that of the original universe, Lu Qingshan stopped moving forward.

At this moment, only three powerful figures, including the Star Lord Bei Chi, remained in front of Lu Qingshan.

"The impact from the will has become even stronger!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Although I can still move forward with my current willpower, the impact on me has greatly increased, which is not conducive to me continuing to hone my willpower!"

"I'll be staying here for a long time, so there's no need to rush. Let's stay here for now and continue to hone our willpower!"

"Moreover, now that my will has undergone a transformation and reached the level of the strongest in the universe, my cultivation will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort!"

To know……

Willpower is the commander! Consciousness is the general! Divine power is the soldier!
The transformation of will... is of great benefit to both cultivation speed and combat ability.

At least for Lu Qingshan, after his will undergoes a transformation, he will be able to comprehend the laws and create secret techniques at a much faster pace than before.

And so, after breaking through his will, Lu Qingshan once again found a huge boulder in an area where the flow of time was about six thousand times that of the original universe, and then sat cross-legged on it to continue his cultivation.

……

On the other side, not far from where Lu Qingshan was located.

On a massive, constantly shifting boulder, a powerful figure clad in a black robe and shrouded in black mist was meditating. This person was none other than the Black-Eyed Lord, a super-powerful being from the human race of the Second Cycle Era.

"Ok?"

At this moment, the Lord of Black Eyes, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, sensed a slight fluctuation in the silent space-time and quickly turned his head to look.

Not far away, a figure clad in purple-gold armor was seen flying towards his area.

"The Lord of All Realms?"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Black Pupils frowned deeply: "Why isn't he staying in his own area to cultivate? What is he doing flying in there?"

The Lord of Black Eyes is quite concerned about this powerful figure who has recently gained fame in the cosmic sea.

Perhaps because they were both powerful members of the human race, even though they were not from the same era of reincarnation, the Lord of Black Eyes still admired Lu Qingshan.

Despite his admiration, the Lord of Black Eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt when he saw Lu Qingshan continue flying towards the core area.

Although the ultimate will of the universe master could continue to delve deeper into the inner region, doing so would definitely affect one's own cultivation due to the powerful impact of the will, so no one would do that.

"Could it be that the will of the Lord of All Realms has broken through?"

Thinking of this, the Lord of Black Eyes couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

How can it be?

Breaking through one's will is never that easy.

He, the Lord of Black Eyes, was a rare genius among the human race in the second reincarnation era when it came to the path of the soul. As early as the immortal stage, he possessed a will comparable to that of a Universe Venerable. After becoming a Universe Venerable, he possessed a will comparable to that of a Universe Lord. However, after becoming a Universe Lord, it took him a full reincarnation era to possess a will comparable to that of the strongest being in the universe.

In his eyes, no matter how strong Lu Qingshan was, he would need to hone his skills for hundreds of millions of epochs within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space before his will could undergo a transformation!

However, under the gaze of the Lord of Black Pupils, Lu Qingshan continued to fly towards the black-patterned stone pillar until he reached an area roughly the same size as the pillar. He then stopped and found a place to begin cultivating.

"How can this be?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Lord of Black Eyes couldn't help but feel a sense of shock: "Without a will comparable to the strongest being in the universe, it would be impossible to reach this area!"

"Could it be that the will of the Lord of All Realms has truly undergone a transformation in such a short period of time?"

Although things appeared calm on the surface, a raging storm was brewing in the heart of the Lord of Black Eyes.

It should be noted that although he ultimately failed to reach the level of the strongest in the universe, the Lord of Black Eyes was still quite proud of his own will.

When Lu Qingshan first rose to fame in the Cosmic Sea, the Lord of Black Pupils was somewhat surprised, but he still felt that he could suppress Lu Qingshan in terms of will.

And that is indeed the case!

When Lu Qingshan first came to this black-patterned stone pillar space, the strength of his will he displayed was only equivalent to the ultimate will of a universe master.

Although it is only one step away from transformation, this one step has blocked countless powerful people.

Within this area of ​​the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar, there are more than a dozen powerful individuals who possess the ultimate will of a universe master, but only three individuals possess the will comparable to that of the strongest being in the universe!

But now, Lu Qingshan has reached the same level as the Lord of Black Pupils in terms of willpower, which is his greatest strength.

This was indeed something he found hard to accept.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan's actions also attracted the attention of other powerful figures near the No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

What the Lord of Black Eyes could think of, the other powerful figures naturally thought of as well.

These people all came from various forces in the cosmic sea, and the news spread incredibly quickly from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
