Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 261 The City Lord Summons Me, a Soul Treasure!
"Congratulations, Your Highness Lu Qingshan, on passing the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge!"

In a gray, gloomy space.

The black-clad gatekeeper materialized again, his gaze towards Lu Qingshan filled with respect and admiration.

"Thank you."

Lu Qingshan was not surprised that the gatekeepers could be resurrected from the dead; the three on Tongtian Mountain had been the same!
The further you go on this bridge, the more intelligent the guardians become. Lu Qingshan even felt as if he were facing a real living being.

The virtual universe is so vast and immense; such a secret technique is truly beyond comprehension. How did the original ancestor create it?

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, may I go and take a look at the 21st floor?"

The gatekeeper asked with a smile.

"Of course!"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

The gatekeeper stepped aside, and a wormhole shimmering with white light appeared behind him.

Lu Qingshan bowed to the gatekeeper and then flashed to the 21st level of the Sky Bridge.

The 21-story sky bridge represents the cosmic ruler's understanding of the laws.

Lu Qingshan knew very well that he had no chance of passing, but seeing it wouldn't hurt.

He was eager to see how a World Lord-level physical strength could manipulate the comprehension of laws at the Universe Venerable level!
If I could have such a day, what kind of battle scene would it be!
The space remained gray and gloomy. From within the thick fog, a figure resembling him slowly emerged.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, congratulations on passing through the 20th level of the Cosmic Bridge. In hundreds of millions of epochs, no one can compare to you."

"Thank you for the compliment. May I witness the power of a Universe Venerable's understanding of the laws?"

Lu Qingshan took out the Banyan Wood Divine Blade, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.

The gatekeeper opposite smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness will be satisfied."

"In that case, let's get started!"

Without further hesitation, Lu Qingshan took the initiative to make his move.

He knew that if the other party made the first move, he might be instantly killed just like when he tried to cross the 20th floor of the Sky Bridge last time.

"Through the void!! Time accelerates!"

Lu Qingshan used his movement technique to its fullest extent, and his speed had long since exceeded the speed of light.

"The Milky Way is beginning to appear!"

brush!
He slashed it down with a single stroke.

The dazzling blade light descended like a galaxy.

However, Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly after the first strike.

He discovered that the other person's figure had long since disappeared, and this was merely an afterimage.

What a great speed.

Is this the effect of accelerating time after mastering the complete laws of time?
Lu Qingshan knew very well that although each of the three branches was powerful, mastering only one of them was far less powerful than wielding the Time Law completely.

The time acceleration unleashed by this cosmic venerable's understanding of the laws was even slightly faster than Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone.

"seal up!"

Wow.

Time and space around Lu Qingshan stopped instantly.

This was a time stop, a hundred times more powerful than the time stop used by Lu Qingshan. His body felt as if it were stuck in a quagmire, and he could only move slightly.

"open!!!"

Lu Qingshan roared.

Unleashing a powerful will, with a 45-fold amplitude effect, at full strength!
break!!

There was a bang.

The surrounding space and time seemed to shatter, and Lu Qingshan struggled out.

At this moment, he held nothing back.

"What!!"

The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly, clearly this was beyond his expectations. He originally thought he could defeat him in one move, but he did not expect Lu Qingshan to break free from his time stop.

His willpower is astonishing! His amplitude is astonishing! His understanding of the laws of time is extremely profound!
"Shh!"

Another strike missed its mark.

Lu Qingshan used the ultimate secret technique, "The First Appearance of the Star River," reaching its maximum speed, but he still couldn't even touch the hem of the other's clothes.

Is this the enlightenment of the universal sovereign regarding the laws?
The difference is too big!
Even with the appearance of the Milky Way and his movement technique, he couldn't touch his opponent, making him a target at the opponent's mercy.

As for the Thousand Stars Overlapping Waves, the laws of time cannot restrict the opponent, so this move is completely useless.

"End it!"

The gatekeeper spoke again.

"kill!!"

The spatial blockade and time stop were activated simultaneously, and then the guardian's voice flashed by like a ghost.

A swish sound.

Lu Qingshan's body was broken in two from the middle.

Failed!
As expected, Lu Qingshan was not surprised.

“Your Highness Lu Qingshan, you are already very capable to have broken free from my time-stopping ability.”

"However, the understanding of the laws of a cosmic sovereign is far more powerful than you can imagine!"

Just before his consciousness was about to fade, a voice entered his ears.

"hehe!"

Lu Qingshan was speechless.

The Universe Venerable's understanding of the laws is indeed impressive, but he is currently only at the Realm Lord level.

Once he breaks through to the realm of immortal gods, combined with 80 times the genetic power, his foundation will be 800 million times the power of a realm lord.

Combined with amplitude effects.

That is 3.6 million times the power of a realm lord.

Even a cosmic venerable might not be immune to extortion.

After all, even someone like True King Yan could escape from the hands of a Universe Venerable. Lu Qingshan, having broken through to the Immortal God realm, is certainly stronger than True King Yan. It's not surprising that he could fight against a Universe Venerable.

The True King has ten times the genetic potential, while he has eighty times.

The key point is that Lu Qingshan still has a lot of room for improvement. After passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, he will immediately apply for the Blood of the Beast God, and his genes will immediately reach 100 times. Moreover, with the improvement of his physical genes, he can cultivate the Time Body again, and the amplitude effect will also be improved.

Before breaking through to the level of an immortal god, his strength could be increased significantly again.

In the dimension of the Skybridge, on a huge island, the scene in front of Baffin has disappeared.

The surprise in his eyes did not disappear.

"Brother Qingshan, you're too strong! You even managed to break free from the time stop of the guardian on the 21st floor!"

Having guarded the Tongtian Bridge plane for so many years, Baffin had never seen such a heaven-defying existence at the World Lord level. Even those great beings wouldn't be this exaggerated at the World Lord level, since World Lords have limited lifespans and must break through to the Immortal God realm within tens of millions of years.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan's performance was too exaggerated. Baffin couldn't even imagine that anyone could surpass Lu Qingshan in comprehending the laws of the Realm Lord level.

"Brother Qingshan, you really gave me a fright!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Baffin stood up and spoke.

"Brother Baffin, why hasn't the Purple Fire Ape Wine been opened yet?"

Lu Qingshan smiled and looked at the unopened wine bottle next to him.

"What's the point of drinking alone? Good wine is more enjoyable when shared."

With a wave of his hand, another chair appeared in front of him.

"Haha, okay, let's have a few drinks."

Lu Qingshan sat opposite Baffin, opened the Purple Fire Ape Wine, and drank a few glasses with Baffin.

“The Purple Fire Ape, a special life form… is so rare. Even when I was with my master, I only ever saw one.”

Baffin took a sip of the wine and said excitedly.

"Brother Baffin has also seen the Purple Fire Ape?"

Lu Qingshan asked in surprise.

"Yes, but that was countless years ago. It was in a secret cosmic realm. The Purple Fire Ape only flashed by and entered a fiery space."

"Brother Baffin, tell me quickly, what exactly does that Purple Fire Ape look like?"

"Haha, that Purple Fire Ape looks somewhat similar to the True King. Of course, their fur is different. The Purple Fire Ape's fur is bright red, and its body is covered with a layer of purple flames. Those flames are incredibly terrifying. Even an ordinary immortal god like the Purple Fire Ape can incinerate a King-level expert with its purple flames."

"The Purple Fire Ape I saw was about 80 meters tall. When it entered that fiery space, even ordinary Universe Venerables didn't dare to enter casually."

"Impressive! No wonder Purple Fire Ape Wine is so rare and precious!"

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"Special life forms are like that, extremely rare. The Purple Fire Ape was considered relatively numerous, probably over ten thousand. Of course, that's ancient history, and the current number is uncertain. Once special life forms appear, they are basically above the Immortal level. Those below the Immortal level stay in their own lair. The lairs of special life forms are usually in extremely dangerous cosmic secret realms, guarded by powerful members of their race. Even a Cosmic Venerable who dares to trespass might perish."

Baffin was very knowledgeable. He talked about everything from the Purple Fire Ape to special life forms, mentioning several special life forms that Lu Qingshan didn't know much about, which broadened Lu Qingshan's horizons.

The bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine was quite substantial; the two of them drank for a long time, and there was still more than half left.

Lu Qingshan received Nasus's reminder, glanced at the email, stood up and said, "Brother Baffin, you keep this bottle of wine for yourself. The city lord's mansion just sent me an email asking me to come over."

"The City Lord's Mansion." Baffin was startled and quickly said, "Brother Qingshan, the City Lord's Mansion wants you to go there. You can't delay. Go there quickly. If you see the great Chaos City Lord, you must be respectful."

"understand!"

Lu Qingshan stood up and exited the virtual universe.

……

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe. Lu Qingshan has been here several times and is quite familiar with the place.

However, this was his first time visiting the inner sanctum of the city lord's mansion.

"Stop!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, several immortal gods clad in armor blocked his way, their gazes fixed coldly on Lu Qingshan.

"I am Lu Qingshan. I received an email from the City Lord's Mansion asking me to come here!"

Lu Qingshan showed the email.

Although the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were just ordinary immortal gods, they represented the authority of the City Lord's Mansion, and Lu Qingshan still gave them a lot of face.

"Master Qingshan...please wait a moment while we verify this."

After a while.

The guards put away their weapons, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Grandmaster Qingshan, this has been verified. Please follow me."

"it is good."

Lu Qingshan followed the guard into the city lord's mansion and stopped at the entrance, where the words "Chaos Ruins" were engraved.

"I have met the Venerable Guiyi."

Lu Qingshan looked at the bald, powerful man and quickly bowed.

"So you are Lu Qingshan, very good... Come with me, your teacher is waiting for you."

"Yes." Lu Qingshan followed in the footsteps of Venerable Guiyi and stepped into the Chaos Ruins.

The world spun around him. Even with Lu Qingshan's understanding of the laws, he felt a sense of being unable to control his own power. Directly opposite him was a burly man, three meters tall, wearing dark red armor.

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, feeling as if the person in front of him was the embodiment of the laws of time and space.

Lu Qingshan knew that the other party was the founder of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, the third-ranked peak existence of the human race, and the great Chaos City Lord!
This was his first time meeting the other party.

"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City."

Lu Qingshan bowed in greeting.

He held this great being who had protected humanity for billions of years in high esteem.
"Lu Qingshan, this is our first meeting. Aren't you afraid you'll mistake me for someone else?"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly.

"The city lord seems to be the embodiment of the laws of time and space, how could I mistake him?"

Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up.

"Haha." The Lord of Chaos City carefully examined Lu Qingshan. Now that he was observing him up close, the changes in Lu Qingshan's body could no longer be hidden from him.

"You have good fortune; your physical genes have surpassed those of most cosmic venerables."

The Lord of Chaos City spoke calmly.

Venerable Guiyi, standing to the side, wore a surprised expression.

Clearly, he was unaware of this. Lu Qingshan did not deliberately show it, so even a Universe Venerable would find it difficult to detect his genetic changes. Of course, in front of the Chaos City Lord who controlled spacetime, everything was perfectly clear.

The Primordial Universe is the microcosm of the Primordial Ancestor. As the Primordial Ancestor's representative, the Lord of Chaos City can mobilize all power here. Even if the strongest beings in the universe come here, their chances of survival are extremely slim. This is why the Primordial Universe is said to be the safest place for humanity, without exception!

The founder of the giant axe possessed a microcosm, yet he still ventured into the cosmic sea, where he faced the risk of perishing. If he perished, his microcosm would naturally collapse, making it less safe than this place.

"Qingshan has some opportunities, but he is still lacking something, so he needs to seek help from his clan."

Lu Qingshan just then spoke.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded: "Since you can become a Black Warrior, the Blood of the Beast God should have a good effect on you. I can grant you sixty drops of the Blood of the Beast God."

"Thank you City Lord!"

Lu Qingshan was overjoyed, never expecting the Lord of Chaos City to be so generous, directly giving him sixty drops of Beast God's blood.

This means that he doesn't even need to pay back the original, and the original's hundredfold gene is already within reach.

"The clan will not be stingy with top geniuses with unlimited potential. The blood of the Beast God is only one of them; there are many other treasures that can be provided to you for free. You can look them up yourself later."

"in addition!"

The Lord of Chaos City stretched out his palm, and a spherical treasure, emitting a pale blue light like a crystal ball, appeared in his hand.

"This is the Soul Pearl! It's a precious treasure that protects the soul, and I consider it an extra gift from me to you."
