Chapter 160: A Thousand Years of Harvest, The Meng Yao Zu's Scheme

Meanwhile, while Lu Qingshan was studying combat secret techniques under the guidance of his patriarch Venerable Yao Guang, his true body had also just finished another battle on the First Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

A flying-saucer-shaped spaceship entirely crimson in color was sailing through the cosmic starry sky, and inside the spaceship, Lu Qingshan was tallying up his gains from the battle that had just ended.

"Star Mystic Mother? Red Phoenix Essence Feather?"

"Turtleback Black Armor?"

After calculating the total value of the spoils, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Qingshan's face: "All these treasures added up should be worth about 1.3 billion Hunyuan units, right?"

"Looks like the strong ones from peak races really do carry a lot of treasures. This 'Feather King' of the Red Phoenix race isn't very famous among the Meng Yao Zu, but I didn't expect him to be so rich — even after self-destructing, he still left behind so many spoils!"

In the battle just concluded, Lu Qingshan, in a state of burning immortal divine power, simultaneously unleashed soul attacks and material attacks, forcing the 'Feather King' — an initial-stage Hei Fengwang-level strong one of the Meng Yao Zu's Red Phoenix lineage — to self-destruct in an extremely short time, so quickly that the Meng Yao Zu's reinforcements didn't even arrive in time.

"Still, there are too few strong ones from peak races roaming the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, and each one has terrifying trump cards — killing them is really troublesome!"

Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly: "The reason I could force that 'Feather King' to self-destruct so easily is mainly because he was completely countered by me, and the Meng Yao Zu's communication system is relatively slow. Combined with the fact that I completely overwhelmed him in every aspect after burning my immortal divine power, that's how I ended the battle in such a short time!"

One must understand that the reason peak races are peak races is entirely because they possess the strongest beings in the universe.

As for the number of Hei Fengwang-level immortals, they actually don't have that much of an advantage!

Take the human race, for example — among those still alive, there are only about ninety thousand Hei Fengwang-level immortals. The Meng Yao Zu have a few more, but only around a hundred thousand or so!

So when roaming the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, one rarely encounters strong ones from peak races.

However, under normal circumstances, strong ones from peak races are generally the cream of the crop among cultivators of the same level.

Take those ordinary races or weak races — their entire race might only have a few cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe, and even if those Zifeng Zunzhe can create a few amplification secret techniques, very few of their fellow-race immortal gods manage to cultivate them successfully!

For example, the 'Seven Killings of the Beast God' created by Lord Jinjiao race's Herodotus includes body-amplification secret techniques like the 'Beast God Transformation', but to cultivate that 'Beast God Transformation', one must comprehend the Gold-Space fusion law and raise it to an extremely high realm!

And among the many Hei Fengwang-level immortals of the Lord Jinjiao race, how many can comprehend the Gold-Space fusion law and cultivate it to an extremely high realm?

Because of this, it's naturally as hard as ascending to the heavens for the Hei Fengwang-level immortals of the Lord Jinjiao race to cultivate amplification secret techniques!

But if it's the Hei Fengwang-level immortals of peak races, that's a completely different story!

Take the human race — besides the strongest founder of the Giant Axe, there are also many Universe Masters, and the number of cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe is even greater.

With so many strong ones, even if only a portion of them choose to create their own amplification secret techniques, they can still create a great variety of them!

For example, those based on the law comprehensions from the Chaos Monument; those requiring precious treasures to aid cultivation; or those requiring long eons to cultivate...

The Hei Fengwang-level immortals of the human race can freely choose whichever amplification secret technique suits them to cultivate, so naturally it's easy for them to become the cream of the crop among cultivators of the same level through amplification secret techniques.

Like the 'Feather King' Lu Qingshan had just slain — he had mastered a soul-type amplification secret technique. Although its grade wasn't very high, when fully unleashed, he could still hold his own against ordinary high-stage Hei Fengwang-level immortal gods.

It's just a pity he ran into Lu Qingshan, who countered him completely!

In the battle just now, Lu Qingshan first disrupted the opponent's actions through soul attacks, then employed movement techniques to quickly close in, and finally relied on sword arts to continuously annihilate the opponent's divine power. Only in this way was he able to force the opponent to self-destruct in a short time — so quickly that other Meng Yao Zu strong ones with teleportation abilities didn't even have time to come support him.

"It's still easier to encounter strong ones while roaming this 'Five Lotus Domain'!"

Lu Qingshan sorted and stored the many spoils he had just obtained while sighing inwardly: "I've only been here for a little over three hundred years, and I've already slain thirteen Hei Fengwang-level immortals!"

The Five Lotus Domain is a naturally formed special region within the Cosmic Secret Realm. Although its diameter is less than ten light-years, it is the third-ranked dangerous place on the First Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

According to publicly available data from the human camp, the number of Hei Fengwang-level immortals roaming this Five Lotus Domain alone exceeds a hundred thousand, and the number of Feng Hou-level immortals is even greater. As for ordinary immortals, there are relatively few!

After all, for a dangerous place like the Five Lotus Domain, ordinary army-master-level immortals coming here to roam would undoubtedly be seeking death!

Even if led by a Hei Fengwang-level immortal, they simply couldn't withstand the battle shockwaves when Hei Fengwang-level strong ones clashed!

When Lu Qingshan's true body first arrived at this First Extraterrestrial Battlefield, he initially roamed the Phantom Galaxy within the radiation range of Barracks Base No. 007, and it was there that he slew his first Hei Fengwang-level immortal.

It's just that the density of strong ones in the Phantom Galaxy is really too low — sometimes one might go decades without encountering a single Hei Fengwang-level immortal.

So after roaming the Phantom Galaxy for over eight hundred years, Lu Qingshan came to the Five Lotus Domain to roam.

Back then, Lu Qingshan roamed the Phantom Galaxy for over eight hundred years and slew only fifteen alien-race Hei Fengwang-level immortals in total. Yet now, having just arrived at the Five Lotus Domain for over three hundred years, he has already slain thirteen alien-race Hei Fengwang-level immortals.

In over a thousand years, he slew fewer than thirty alien-race Hei Fengwang-level immortals in total — averaging one kill every thirty-plus years.

This speed looks very slow, but in reality, it's already extremely crazy among Hei Fengwang-level immortals!

The Luo Feng in the original work who could slay over a hundred Hei Fengwang-level immortals in just over a month after bonding with the Star Tower did so entirely because he possessed the telekinesis weapon supreme treasure, the Femo venom, and the Hei Fengwang-limit-level soul servant Heavy Arrow King!

Of course, besides these, the most important point is still that Luo Feng bonded with the Star Tower, allowing him to easily detect the traces of every strong one roaming within the Star Tower, and then choose the opponent most suitable for himself!

But this situation doesn't apply to others!

After all, even in the Five Lotus Domain, which has relatively many Hei Fengwang-level immortal gods, the total number of Hei Fengwang-level immortal gods combined is only around a hundred thousand or so.

These Hei Fengwang-level immortals are scattered across the Five Lotus Domain, which has a diameter of nearly ten light-years. Normally, encountering even one is difficult, let alone slaying them.

Although some Hei Fengwang-level immortals do have fixed activity zones, those are without exception super strong ones extremely confident in their own strength — the weakest being at the Hei Fengwang peak — and naturally not opponents the current Lu Qingshan can handle!

So if Lu Qingshan wants to encounter suitable targets, he can only slowly try his luck in the Phantom Galaxy and the Five Lotus Domain.

In these thousand-plus years, Lu Qingshan encountered only forty-plus alien-race Hei Fengwang-level immortals, among which were several Hei Fengwang-peak and high-stage Hei Fengwang-level ones.

Besides these, he also encountered distress signals from fellow-camp strong ones a few times!

Of course, in the process of slaying Hei Fengwang-level immortals, Lu Qingshan also encountered situations where strong ones with teleportation abilities rushed in to rescue them.

Sometimes the other party could arrive before Lu Qingshan slew the alien-race Hei Fengwang-level immortal, and naturally could use their teleportation ability to take them away.

But there were also a few times when, after the other party arrived, Lu Qingshan had already successfully slain the enemy.

Generally, in such situations, the strong ones who came to rescue would choose to withdraw on their own — after all, Lu Qingshan being able to slay Hei Fengwang-level immortals in a short time naturally makes people extremely wary.

There was only one exception.

At that time, Lu Qingshan had just arrived at the Five Lotus Domain to roam not long before, and he encountered the 'Seven Killings King' of the Meng Yao Zu camp's Chi Yong race!

The Chi Yong race are flesh-and-blood lifeforms, known for being fierce and bloodthirsty. However, that Seven Killings King's strength wasn't very high, so he naturally became Lu Qingshan's hunting target.

And just after Lu Qingshan successfully slew the Seven Killings King, the Chi Yong race's Hei Fengwang-peak strong one 'Egret King' suddenly arrived.

Although the battle had already ended, Egret King did not choose to withdraw, but instead began attacking Lu Qingshan frantically, eventually even starting to burn his immortal divine power.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan's strength had long since become a far cry from what it once was. A mere Hei Fengwang-peak immortal, even burning immortal divine power and fighting desperately, would find it very difficult to pose a fatal threat to him!

In the end, both sides lost large amounts of immortal divine power, and seeing that he couldn't do anything to Lu Qingshan, Egret King could only choose to withdraw.

Later, Lu Qingshan gathered some information through the many allies of the human camp, and only then learned that Egret King was a life-and-death close friend of that Seven Killings King.

However, that Egret King burned over 5% of his immortal divine power in the battle, and unlike Lu Qingshan, who possesses a clone with an enormous divine body, recovering would definitely require a very long period of time.

Naturally, although Lu Qingshan did not kill particularly many Hei Fengwang Immortals over this thousand-plus years, in the process of seeking suitable targets, he did kill quite a few Fenghou Immortal aliens.

After all, with Lu Qingshan's current strength, even without burning Immortal Divine Power, he could annihilate most peak Fenghou Immortals through powerful soul attacks.

Even when encountering those alien experts without souls, he could forcibly annihilate their Divine Power through powerful material attacks.

In this short span of over a thousand years, the number of alien experts who fell to Lu Qingshan's hands has already exceeded three hundred.

This included twenty-eight Hei Fengwang Immortals, nearly sixty peak Fenghou alien Immortal Divine Spirits, while the rest were mostly high-level Fenghou and initial-level Fenghou alien Immortals; as for Immortal Army Masters, there were hardly any!

And the fall of these alien enemies brought Lu Qingshan spoils worth over twenty-three billion Hunyuan units, as well as nearly five hundred trillion military merit quotas.

Such a terrifying rate of wealth accumulation, let alone peak Hei Fengwang experts, even most limit Hei Fengwang experts, under the desperate circumstances of burning Immortal Divine Power, could not achieve!

Moreover, once they burned Immortal Divine Power to fight desperately, they would have to spend vast amounts of time or astonishing wealth to restore their Divine Power, so naturally they could not compare to Lu Qingshan!

"First find a safe place to return the spoils to the Divine Kingdom, then continue searching for new targets!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan quickly used the detector to search for a suitable location.

Although with his current strength, very few on the Foreign Battlefield were willing to fight him desperately anymore, he still could not be called top-tier.

Not to mention those standing at the very peak of the Foreign Battlefield, approaching the level of invincible Hei Fengwang super experts, even limit Hei Fengwang experts, once burning Immortal Divine Power, could bring him a fatal threat!

Therefore, after obtaining the spoils, Lu Qingshan would still send them to the Divine Kingdom as usual; this way, even if he were truly killed, the losses could be minimized!

But just then, Lu Qingshan suddenly received a message from the Hong Alliance high command...

"Ten Thousand World King:

The Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance will open in three years. Because you have obtained a slot for the Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance, this is to notify you!

We hope the Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance allows your strength to increase greatly, making you a super expert who roams the universe!

Note: The location of the Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance is within the Human Race territory, inside the Glory Secret Realm of the core area of the Universal Mercenary Alliance; the specific coordinates are...

Note: Non-Human Race experts traveling to Human Race territory must apply in advance within the Hong Alliance; at that time, dedicated personnel will receive you!

Note: When traveling to the location of the Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance, you may not carry other intelligent life forms!

Hong Alliance!"

After browsing the full content of the message, a smile quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "The Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance is finally about to open!"

You must know, within the Human Race, those amplification secret techniques capable of cultivating soul amplification to the hundred-fold limit have a full set price of only twenty billion points.

Then why do Human Race experts still spend hundreds of billions of points, or even incur vast debts of favor, to choose to accept the Divine General Inheritance?

Naturally, because most amplification secret techniques in the universe have certain thresholds, requiring either extremely high law comprehension or numerous precious treasures, and so on...

Even for many peak Hei Fengwang experts, cultivating a single amplification secret technique to more than ten times is an extremely difficult matter!

But the Divine General Inheritance is different!

Any Hei Fengwang Immortal capable of accepting the Divine General Inheritance, whether cultivating body amplification or soul amplification, can at least raise it to thirty or forty times!

Moreover, if someone can accept the complete inheritance, they can even ascend in one step, becoming a super existence capable of roaming the universe!

"The Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance is about to open; next, I must definitely concentrate all my energy to accept the Ling Feng Divine General Inheritance!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "In that case, it is better for this original body of mine to temporarily leave the Foreign Battlefield; otherwise, when accepting the Divine General Inheritance, if I encounter alien experts, I will inevitably be distracted!"

"It is not too late to hunt down those alien experts after I finish receiving the Divine General Inheritance!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan immediately boarded a starship and rushed to a secluded place, then directly opened a temporary Divine Kingdom teleportation channel and returned to his own Divine Kingdom.

And just as Lu Qingshan returned to his own Divine Kingdom...

Foreign Battlefield First Front, the ruling layer of the Meng Yao Zu camp on the Foreign Battlefield.

"Confirm the information."

"In the 'Five Lotus Domain' area, the Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortal 'King Lingjian Wang' has, in the recent thousand years, killed two of our Meng Yao Zu Hei Fengwang Immortals, seven Fenghou Immortals, and eleven Hei Fengwang Immortals from the same camp, as well as nearly a hundred Fenghou Immortals; his actions are unrestrained, the threat level is extremely high, and he should be eliminated!"

Looking at the conclusion intelligently inferred by the Foreign Battlefield system on the screen, three Meng Yao Zu puppet bodies, entirely silver, were currently sitting around a round table exchanging words.

"Hmph!"

A man with an entirely silver body and a snake head, upon seeing this message, immediately angrily said: "This Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortal 'King Lingjian Wang' actually dares to kill our Meng Yao Zu experts so unrestrainedly; he is simply seeking his own death!"

"Exactly!"

Another absolutely beautiful woman with an entirely silver body and a fox head nodded and said: "Judging from the data analyzed by the battlefield intelligence, this King Lingjian Wang must have arrived at our Foreign Battlefield First Front only recently; moreover, among the many Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortals collected by the clan previously, there is no data on this person; perhaps he is a certain Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortal hiding his identity to slaughter wildly on the Foreign Battlefield!"

"According to the data, that King Lingjian Wang is extremely skilled in both material attacks and soul attacks; he can easily annihilate peak Fenghou, and once burning Immortal Divine Power, he can even annihilate Hei Fengwang Immortals within a short time; he is suspected to possess peak Hei Fengwang combat power!"

Another man with an entirely silver body and a lion head quickly spoke in a deep voice: "However, that 'King Lingjian Wang' comprehends the Time Origin Law, but no expert in our Meng Yao Zu camp has discovered that the opponent possesses special abilities such as 'Time Stop', 'Time Acceleration', or 'Time Deceleration'! So I think that King Lingjian Wang probably only has high-level Hei Fengwang law comprehension, and relies on soul amplification secret techniques to achieve peak Hei Fengwang combat power!"

"I think so too!"

The absolutely beautiful woman with an entirely silver body and a fox head nodded in agreement: "However, among the many Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortals, there is no expert whose characteristics completely match that King Lingjian Wang!"

"Moreover, that King Lingjian Wang often burns Immortal Divine Power in battles against Hei Fengwang Immortals. Three hundred years ago, the Bai Lu Wang of the Chi Yong Clan once fought with that King Lingjian Wang. According to Bai Lu Wang, that King Lingjian Wang lost at least five percent of his Divine Power in that battle, yet he still recovered within an extremely short time; so I think he must possess a certain amount of wealth, or other opportunities!"

"This person poses a huge threat!"

The man with an entirely silver body and a snake head quickly spoke in a deep voice: "I suggest sending a suitable expert to eliminate him!"

"Eliminating an expert comparable to peak Hei Fengwang is not easy, and that King Lingjian Wang is simultaneously skilled in soul attacks and material attacks!"

The man with an entirely silver body and a lion head quickly said: "Without huge benefits, I'm afraid no one would be willing to take action against him!"

"This matter is easy to handle!"

The woman with a fox head quickly said: "We just need to distribute the various information about that King Lingjian Wang, and then increase the reward for his elimination a bit. However, this King Lingjian Wang is quite difficult to deal with; perhaps he has other trump cards. So I think, to avoid accidents for our Meng Yao Zu experts, we had better assign this mission to those alien experts!"

"I think so too!"

The man with a lion head quickly nodded and said: "I remember that Shi Jia Wang of the Ju Yan Clan is wandering in that Five Lotus Domain. The Ju Yan Clan has no souls, so they are not afraid of material attacks at all; moreover, their divine bodies are quite massive, so even after burning Immortal Divine Power, recovery is relatively easy!"

"In addition, that Shi Jia Wang has also accepted the Mo Tian Divine General Inheritance; his body amplification has reached over thirty times, and he has also created peak-level combat secret techniques; indeed, he is a very good candidate!"

"Then let it be decided thus!" The man with a snake head nodded and said.

For these Meng Yao Zu high officials, if it were a good task like eliminating alien geniuses, naturally it would be assigned to experts of the same camp to complete;

But for hard bones like King Lingjian Wang, most of the time, after slightly increasing the reward, it is assigned to alien experts to complete!

After handling this matter, the Meng Yao Zu battlefield intelligence quickly refreshed with new information.

"Confirmed intel."

"In the 'Mizong Sea' region, the Mechanical Race faction's 'Yan Chihuo Wang'…"
