Chapter 202: Star-Devouring Great Venerable

Devouring the Starry Sky World.

Seeing the 120,000 points Meng Huan sent him, Lu Qingshan's heart was also quite stirred.

To know, even for him to activate the Dao-Comprehension Boost function once only required 80,000 points.

"I didn't expect this Meng Huan to be quite capable of accumulating points!" Lu Qingshan thought silently.

But what he didn't know was that since Meng Huan joined the group until now, he had only accumulated less than 200,000 points!

Previously, merely several uses of the Dao-Comprehension Boost function had raised Meng Huan from the Second Realm of the Primordial Spirit to the Sixth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal.

However, breaking through from the Sixth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal to the Seventh Heaven of the Celestial Immortal was absolutely an incredibly difficult matter, so Meng Huan had planned to accumulate for a longer period, gather more points, and then, with the help of the Dao-Comprehension Boost function, break into the Late Stage of the Celestial Immortal in one go.

But who could have expected that although he and Qin Yun had already taken the Hundred-Zhang Starstone, that Bojia Old Ancestor still would not give up!

With no choice, Meng Huan could only choose to spend points to request Lu Qingshan's intervention.

Although it pained him greatly to take out all the points in his hand at once, if it could save his father Qin Yun's hometown world, it would be very worth it!

"With this sum of points, I can completely activate the Dao-Comprehension Boost function once more!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently: "By then, I might even comprehend Time Suspension!"

For the current Lu Qingshan, the most important function within the chat group was the Dao-Comprehension Boost function.

It was just a pity that activating the Dao-Comprehension Boost function consumed points far too much; otherwise, he might have already crossed into the Venerable Realm of the Universe by now.

Now that Meng Huan had brought out such a huge sum of points, even if he burned all the divine power of a clone for it, it would be very worth it.

Of course, although he attached great importance to this sum of points, Lu Qingshan did not claim it immediately.

【Lu Qingshan: @Meng Huan, let's talk about the points later; I will make some preparations, then immediately rush to your location!】

After saying this, Lu Qingshan's clone on the Outer Realm Battlefield quickly gathered several Soul Servants into his Divine Kingdom, then began spending points to apply to travel to the Flying Sword Asking Dao World where Meng Huan was located.

And just as Lu Qingshan was preparing to apply to travel to the Flying Sword Asking Dao World where Meng Huan was located, others in the chat group also became interested.

【Pang Bo: @Meng Huan, remember to start the live stream; we want to watch the battle!】

【Brother Xiao Yan: I want to watch too!】

【Ye Chen: Want to watch +1!】

【Han Li: Want to watch +1!】

Although their strength was insufficient to travel to the Flying Sword Asking Dao World to help Meng Huan resolve the crisis, encountering such a great battle was rare, so naturally they wanted to watch the battle via live stream.

And seeing the requests from everyone in the chat group to have him start the live stream first, Meng Huan was also slightly stunned.

Afterwards...

【Meng Huan: Everyone, this matter also depends on the Group Master's opinion!】

【Lu Qingshan: No problem!】

Seeing Lu Qingshan's words, Meng Huan quickly started the live stream.

【System Notification: Meng Huan has started a group live stream.】

Upon seeing the chat group's notification, everyone in the group quickly opened Meng Huan's live stream.

It was seen that at this moment, the eight great formations within the Dachang World had been fully activated; above the nineteen provinces of Dachang, layers of light shimmered, whether golden light shields, or greenish light shields, or purple light shields, or earth-yellow light shields...

The eight great formations combined perfectly, sheltering the land of the nineteen provinces of Dachang and the surrounding thousand-li sea area.

And outside the eight great formations, a vast, rolling black cloud, resembling a small star, loomed, covering half the sky.

And deep within this huge black cloud, there was a heart-rattling red light, in which a huge face floated.

This black cloud was the most terrifying existence below the Great Power in the Flying Sword Asking Dao World, the Star-Devouring Great Venerable.

As a Chaos Demon God, his talent was extremely terrifying; born able to devour stars, later combining the methods of the Demon Path's 'Spirit-Devouring Lineage', his strength became even more terrifying.

Because Great Powers could not travel to the Small World in their true bodies, this Star-Devouring Great Venerable was an invincible existence within the Small World; for endless ages, he had devoured countless living beings!

Originally, the eighteen Arhats of the Buddhist Sect, together with the one hundred and eight Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Realm, could match him evenly, even forcing him to retreat.

But this time, the Star-Devouring Great Venerable obtained the Primordial Spiritual Treasure Taiyin Plate from Bojia Old Ancestor, greatly increasing his strength; if the eighteen Arhats and the one hundred and eight Heavenly Generals entered the Small World to fight him as before, a slight carelessness could result in injury.

Precisely for this reason, for the sake of their own safety, whether the eighteen Arhats of the Buddhist Sect or the one hundred and eight Divine Generals of the Heavenly Realm, they only dared to attack the Star-Devouring Great Venerable from outside the Small World across the void.

But even if they personally entered the Small World, they were no match for the Star-Devouring Great Venerable; let alone fighting him across the void from outside the Small World; at most, they could only slightly restrain the Star-Devouring Great Venerable.

At this moment, the Great Formation of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, as well as the Great Formation of the Eighteen Arhats, had been simultaneously activated outside the Small World.

It was seen that streams of starlight and golden palm prints fell one after another, smashing down upon that massive black cloud.

But unfortunately, these streams of starlight and golden palm prints, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, had greatly reduced power; the Star-Devouring Great Venerable could fully rely on his mighty physique to withstand them hard, while his two most powerful red arms directly began destroying the various protective formations within the Dachang World.

The Star-Devouring Great Venerable's two red arms were like heavenly pillars, constantly smashing upon the defensive formations that Qin Yun and others had carefully prepared for their hometown Dachang World.

Fortunately, the power of the eight protective great formations was extremely strong; they actually withstood these two terrifying arms.

But even so, if no one could stop this Star-Devouring Great Venerable, the eight great formations being broken through would only be a matter of time.

【Pang Bo: This Star-Devouring Great Venerable is indeed very evil, but one must admit, his strength is also extremely terrifying!】

【Brother Xiao Yan: Yes! This Star-Devouring Great Venerable's strength is so terrifying; even if my Master intervened, he probably would not be one percent of this person's level!】

【Ye Chen: The life-and-death realm demons in my world compared to this Star-Devouring Great Venerable are simply like children playing house!】

【Yue Buqun: It is truly unbelievable! The eighteen Arhats of the Buddhist Sect, the thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, Erlang Zhenjun; I never thought figures from myths and legends would all appear in the world where Daoist Friend Meng Huan is located!】

And at this critical moment, another Celestial Immortal of the Dachang World, 'Grand Master Zhang', actually chose to breakthrough to the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal.

This Grand Master Zhang was one of Lingbao Tianzun's disciples; his talent and comprehension were naturally extremely extraordinary; the moment he broke through to the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Immortal, he immediately possessed strength comparable to a Great Power.

In a one-on-one situation, this Grand Master Zhang could even suppress most of the eighteen Arhats of the Buddhist Sect.

But even so, facing the incredibly terrifying strength of the Star-Devouring Great Venerable, he was still powerless!

Even if Grand Master Zhang and the current Qin Yun joined forces, facing the Star-Devouring Great Venerable, they were still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

Qin Yun's gaze, through the void, easily saw every inch of land in the nineteen provinces of the Dachang World.

Under the terrifying threat brought by the Star-Devouring Great Venerable, countless living beings in the Dachang World were terrified, yet in their hearts they also hoped that a high expert could eliminate the demon.

But unfortunately, even the Heavenly Realm, the Dao Sect, and the Buddhist Sect were not omnipotent!

At least within the small worlds, they could no longer find a single Jin Xian-level powerhouse capable of fighting the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe!

"The Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe's power is too terrifying; our formation can probably only hold out for another stick of incense!"

Patriarch Zhang also looked toward his homeland, then said helplessly, "If there truly is no other way, rather than fighting to the death, we should save whoever we can and lead some people away!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun's heart was also filled with some grief and indignation.

He knew clearly in his heart that the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe had invaded the Great Chang World solely for the Star Stone in his possession.

For Qin Yun, if he could truly save the Great Chang World, even giving up the hundred-zhang-long Star Stone would be well worth it.

But that was the Demonic Path! The Demonic Path that committed every evil!

Going back on one's word, being fickle, and being sinister and cunning were simply the most normal things in the world to them!

"Do we really have to abandon our homeland and flee with only a handful of people?"

Qin Yun's gaze turned to this homeland that had given him life and raised him; a decision quickly formed in his heart: "No, there is still another way!"

At this moment, he had already decided to withdraw the concealment technique and forcibly undergo the heavenly tribulation to break through to the Jin Xian realm!

In fact, given Qin Yun's realm, he could have long ago broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Jin Xian realm.

Unfortunately, the path he walked was the Sword Immortal lineage with no precedent; to break through to the Jin Xian realm, he would have to create his own Sword Immortal technique at the Jin Xian level!

Even though his current realm had already surpassed most Jin Xian powerhouses, he still had little confidence in creating a Sword Immortal technique at the Jin Xian level!

But now, facing the threat of the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe, he had no choice but to forcibly break through to gain the strength to fight the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe!

Yet just as Qin Yun was about to withdraw the concealment technique, an telepathic transmission from his adopted son, Meng Huan, suddenly came to his mind.

"Father, please wait a moment!"

Meng Huan transmitted very seriously, "The situation has not yet reached a point of no return; I have already sought aid from a supreme powerhouse, and the other party will arrive immediately!"

While transmitting to Qin Yun, Meng Huan also quickly spoke within the chat group.

【Meng Huan: @Lu Qingshan, Group Owner, my father and I are still relatively weak, so after you arrive, please try not to have too much contact with us; otherwise, the powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm will easily target us!】

【Lu Qingshan: Rest assured, I know what to do; I certainly won't put you in a difficult position. Just place my inter-realm travel destination in another region of the Great Chang World!】

As the saying goes, "Take the money, remove the trouble for the payer!"

Meng Huan had already given him a appearance fee of 120,000 points; naturally, he had to arrange everything perfectly!

【Meng Huan: Group Owner, then I entrust everything to you!】

【Lu Qingshan: Rest assured, I will do my utmost to kill that Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe!】

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan has used the inter-realm travel channel. Do you agree?】

【System Notification: Meng Huan has approved your application to enter the Flying Sword Asking Dao World!】

Accompanying the system notification sound within the chat group, Lu Qingshan's second clone instantly vanished from his original location.

……

Buzz!

Under Meng Huan's arrangement, Lu Qingshan appeared silently in Kunlun Prefecture of the Great Chang World, while no one within the Flying Sword Asking Dao World could detect it!

"Hmm?"

Lu Qingshan, who had inter-realm traveled to the Flying Sword Asking Dao World, moved his body slightly and quickly sensed the suppression of this world's Heavenly Dao upon himself.

In his original world, when he unleashed attacks, he could always draw upon the might of the primordial laws of the universe, but here that was impossible!

"Even if I have comprehended Time Stop, I probably cannot use it within this world!" Lu Qingshan thought silently.

In the Devouring World, abilities like Time Stop, Teleportation, and even the Universe Master reversing time to resurrect the fallen, or the Supreme Universe Ruler's "Words Become Law," were actually just special abilities granted by the Primordial Universe!

Let alone inter-realm traveling to a foreign world, even breaking through the cycles to reach the Origin Continent, one probably still wouldn't be able to use special abilities like Teleportation or Time Reversal!

"However, if the cultivation method of the Devouring World were transferred to this Flying Sword Asking Dao World, it should be equivalent to a rather special method of achieving sainthood through the physical body!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently: "Although I can no longer draw upon the might of the primordial laws, even relying solely on my own strength, my power far exceeds the Ninth Layer of the Jin Xian realm of this world!"

"However, now is not the time to consider these things!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe, who was frantically breaking the formation outside the protective array: "Let me first clash with this demonic fiend!"

"I want to see whether this Ninth Layer of the Jin Xian realm, who can suppress ordinary Jin Xian Buddhas, or I, this Hei Fengwang at the limit of the King realm, am stronger!"

……

On the other side, seeing the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe's speed in breaking the formation increase, Patriarch Zhang's heart grew increasingly anxious.

And Qin Yun turned his gaze to his adopted son Meng Huan, then secretly transmitted, "Huan'er, is what you said true? Why hasn't it happened yet..."

But before Qin Yun could finish speaking, an extremely special and terrifying aura suddenly appeared in Kunlun Prefecture of the Great Chang World.

At the same time, a majestic voice rang out in the minds of countless people: "Who is disturbing my peaceful slumber?"

In the Mingyao Domain, in the starry sky outside the Great Chang World.

Now that the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe wished to annihilate the Great Chang World, there were simply too many people in the Three Realms paying attention to this battle.

Although they did not know what was special about the Great Chang World, since the ancestor Bojia had sent people to act twice and even went so far as to hand over the extremely precious innate spiritual treasure, the Taiyin Plate, to the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe, they could naturally guess that something special within the Great Chang World was attracting the ancestor Bojia.

Now, a host of Jin Xian from the Heavenly Realm, numerous Buddhas from the Buddhist Sect, and even various Demon Saints, the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Witches, and even the Ancestral Demons stationed in the 'Dark Demon Abyss' were all watching the Great Chang World.

They were all waiting for the outcome of this battle: would the Star-Devouring Great Zifeng Zunzhe successfully annihilate the countless living beings of the Great Chang World, or would a new turning point appear?

And just at this moment, that majestic voice suddenly rang out in all of their minds.

"Who is it?"

"Who is there?"

Countless powerhouses' gazes followed the direction from which the sound came, and they saw a majestic man clad in purple-gold battle armor, carrying a long sword on his back, stepping onto the void within Kunlun Prefecture of the Great Chang World; it was precisely Lu Qingshan, who had inter-realm traveled.

"Who is this person?"

"Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?"

After seeing Lu Qingshan's figure, countless people felt doubt in their hearts.

Whether it was the Jin Xian Buddhas outside the Great Chang World, or Patriarch Zhang, Qin Yun, and others within the Great Chang World, none possessed any information about Lu Qingshan!

"Could this be the supreme expert that Huan'er spoke of?"

Thinking of this, Qin Yun glanced calmly at his adopted son, Meng Huan, beside him.

In fact, in recent years, he had also discovered some peculiarities about his adopted son Meng Huan, but had never asked about them in detail!

【Brother Xiao Yan: Move aside quickly, the Group Owner is about to show off!】

【Pang Bo: I truly wish to take his place!】

【Han Li: Image. JPG! @Pang Bo, I have already taken a screenshot. If you do not want the Group Owner to know you wish to replace him, you had better give me a big red envelope!】

【Ye Chen: Image. JPG! @Pang Bo, I want a big red envelope too!】

【Pang Bo: My loyalty to the Group Owner is witnessed by heaven and earth; do not try to sow discord!】

And while everyone in the chat group was chatting idly...

Inside the world of Flying Sword Inquiry.

The Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe, who was breaking the formation, looked directly toward the direction where Lu Qingshan was: "Who are you?"

"A little demon!"

Lu Qingshan stepped on the void, then looked calmly at the Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe and asked: "Did you wake me?"

"Hmph, so what if it was me?"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan did not answer the question, the face of the Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe, shrouded within a massive black cloud, looked down from above. Meanwhile, deep within two red stone arms, he smashed heavily toward the great protective formation in front of Lu Qingshan: "You who play with gods and ghosts, after I break the formation, I will eat you first!"

For the Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe, what he feared most were those top-tier Jin Xian, or even existences at the Heavenly Dao realm.

And in a small world where great powers could not descend in person, who would be his match?

"You want to eat me? Then we shall see if you have the ability!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan turned his head to look toward the direction where Qin Yun and the others were, then spoke to Zhang Zushi, who had the strongest aura: "Little one, open the formation and let me out!"

"This..."

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Zhang Zushi hesitated somewhat.

Although he was not clear on Lu Qingshan's identity, since Lu Qingshan was now confronting that Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe, they were now on the same side.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zushi hurriedly said: "If you are confident, feel free to act against that Star-Annihilating Demon; the formation will offer no obstruction!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then immediately stepped out of the great formation!

Only to see the formation light shield in the high sky ripple slightly, then easily let Lu Qingshan's figure pass through.

【Pang Bo: The fight is about to start; who do you think is stronger, the Group Owner or that Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe?】

【Brother Xiao Yan: What is there to say? Of course it is the Group Owner!】

【Han Li: The Group Owner never fights a battle without confidence; since he is acting this time, he must be confident!】

【Ye Chen: I think so too! How long do you think that Star-Annihilating Great Zifeng Zunzhe can last against the Group Owner?】
