Chapter 213: Distribution Plan: Fierce Battle

"This is very simple!"

Facing the Sovereign Beihai's question, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said: "All of you here accepted my and the Sovereign Beihai's invitation to attend this temporary meeting hall and discuss matters of great importance—clearly, you place great trust in me, the Sovereign Beihai, and our human race!"

"We currently have nearly ten thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals here, and the weakest among us are all at the peak of Hei Fengwang realm!"

"Those who have reached our realm naturally aren't fools; I'm sure none of you wish to serve as someone else's ladder!"

"Therefore, I propose that during this struggle for the great treasure, we all stay together, advancing and retreating as one, until this treasure hunt ends!"

"During combat, each of us must activate the Virtual Universe synchronization transmission to record our individual contributions!"

"As for the spoils of this battle, we shall gather them all after the fight and distribute them together: I take thirty percent, the Sovereign Beihai takes twenty percent, and the remaining fifty percent is divided among the rest according to individual contributions—what do you all think?"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the surrounding Hei Fengwang Immortals did not express dissatisfaction at him and the Sovereign Beihai claiming half the spoils; instead, all of them showed excited expressions.

They knew that the reason they had gathered around Lu Qingshan and the Sovereign Beihai was because they realized their own chances of seizing the ultimate treasure were slim, so they were willing to help Lu Qingshan and the Sovereign Beihai claim it.

In doing so, they could both cultivate ties with powerful figures like the Wanjie Wang and the Sovereign Beihai, and also receive a share of benefits from Lu Qingshan and the Sovereign Beihai.

In truth, as long as Lu Qingshan was willing to distribute three or four tenths of the spoils among them, they would already consider it excellent.

After all, since arriving at the Outer Battlefield, they had joined the human faction, dominated by the human race; furthermore, both Lu Qingshan and the Sovereign Beihai were extraordinarily powerful—each one capable of matching hundreds, even thousands of Hei Fengwang Immortals combined—so it was natural that they claimed the lion's share, and no one objected.

Now that Lu Qingshan was willing to give them half the spoils to divide among themselves, they were naturally thrilled.

"No problem!"

"I agree with the Wanjie Wang's suggestion!"

"Wanjie Wang, we all follow you—whatever you say, we'll do!"

Instantly, the surrounding Hei Fengwang Immortals all responded enthusiastically.

"Sovereign Beihai, what do you think?" Lu Qingshan quickly turned to the Sovereign Beihai beside him.

"This…"

After a moment's thought, the Sovereign Beihai also nodded in agreement: "I agree!"

In truth, for the Sovereign Beihai, he first felt there was no need to give so many spoils to the other Hei Fengwang Immortals, and second, he believed he should split the spoils equally with the Wanjie Wang, Lu Qingshan.

After all, in status, he was a disciple of the You Hou Zhi Zhu, and thus naturally held a higher position than the Wanjie Wang Lu Qingshan before him;

In talent, he had reached near Hei Fengwang Invincible realm in less than a million years—far surpassing Lu Qingshan, the Wanjie Wang, who had trained for over twenty million years!

Yet on the Outer Battlefield, what mattered most was one's actual strength.

And now Lu Qingshan's strength was slightly superior to his own; it was only fair that he received a larger share of the spoils;

As for the shares of the other Hei Fengwang Immortals, since Lu Qingshan had already set the five-tenths allocation, he was no fool—he would never openly oppose it, for that would offend everyone.

"Good!"

Seeing that everyone agreed to his spoils distribution plan, Lu Qingshan nodded again and said: "Since no one objects, our alliance is officially formed!"

"Next, we wait quietly for the great treasure to emerge, then strike first at the Baihua Wang—after killing her, if the opportunity arises, we shall seize the great treasure that has just appeared!"

"Wanjie Wang!"

A powerful Hei Fengwang Limit expert, "Tie Xian Wang," suddenly spoke up: "Since we're here to compete for the great treasure, after killing the Baihua Wang, we could just as easily join forces to eliminate others! I believe the Meng Yao Zu's 'Mo Tao Wang' is an excellent target—he certainly possesses more than one great treasure. I suggest we add him to our list of targets!"

Hearing Tie Xian Wang's words, Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.

Mo Tao Wang was a supreme powerhouse of the Meng Yao Zu faction; though he had not reached Hei Fengwang Invincible realm, his strength was nearly equal to that of the Sovereign Beihai.

Moreover, Mo Tao Wang was not only a direct disciple of a Universe Master, but also surrounded by over two thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals.

Recall that earlier, Lu Qingshan had gathered over five thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals and still lacked absolute confidence to annihilate the Baihua Wang;

Now, though our combined force approaches ten thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals, annihilating Mo Tao Wang would still be an extremely difficult task.

Yet before Lu Qingshan could voice opposition, the surrounding Hei Fengwang Immortals began speaking up!

"This is unacceptable!"

"Exactly! We can join forces to kill the Baihua Wang, but if we go after other superpowers who possess great treasures, we might provoke a united backlash from other powerhouses!"

"Indeed! The Baihua Wang belongs to the Meng Yao Zu faction; after killing her, even if Meng Yao Zu powerhouses target us, our ten thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals under the leadership of the Wanjie Wang and the Sovereign Beihai can handle it! But Mo Tao Wang belongs to the Meng Yao Zu faction—if we provoke the Meng Yao Zu and then also provoke the Meng Yao Zu, aren't we inviting trouble?"

"Tie Xian Wang, I know you once suffered defeat at Mo Tao Wang's hands—you can seek revenge later, but there's no need to drag everyone into this!"

"Right! We've gathered here primarily to compete for the great treasure! The Baihua Wang is number one on the human race's assassination list—we can deal with her, but provoking Mo Tao Wang would be unwise!"

"I agree too! We've finally come together under the leadership of the Wanjie Wang and the Sovereign Beihai to compete for the great treasure! Everyone has enemies—if we all acted like you, Tie Xian Wang, how could we cooperate?"

…

Instantly, the surrounding Hei Fengwang Immortals all voiced opposition to Tie Xian Wang.

Hearing the others' words, Lu Qingshan felt deep admiration within.

This was the advantage of great strength and powerful background!

In pure strength, Mo Tao Wang was slightly stronger than the Baihua Wang;

But in background, Mo Tao Wang was vastly inferior to the Baihua Wang.

Though both were direct disciples of Universe Masters, Mo Tao Wang's master was merely the leader of a powerful clan with only one Universe Master;

Yet the Baihua Wang's master was the Jin Zhi Master, famed across countless cosmic clans—throughout the vast universe, only the strongest cosmic being surpassed the Jin Zhi Master in power, and no one else matched him!

When Lu Qingshan decided to strike the Baihua Wang, not a single one of the nearly ten thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals objected;

Yet when Tie Xian Wang suggested targeting Mo Tao Wang, everyone opposed him.

Beyond the reasons they gave, this also stemmed from Tie Xian Wang's insufficient strength and weak background!

But since this alliance was initiated by Lu Qingshan, after these thoughts flashed through his mind, he quickly spoke.

"Everyone!"

Lu Qingshan first glanced around, signaling for silence, then continued: "What you've said is all very reasonable. Though our united force is formidable, we truly should not provoke too many enemies!"

"For now, we focus solely on the Baihua Wang, then find a way to jointly compete for the great treasure that has just emerged—what do you all think?"

"I agree!"

"The Wanjie Wang speaks wisely!"

At once, the crowd around them nodded and spoke in unison.

Lu Qingshan quickly turned his head to look at Iron Wire King. Knowing he lacked the influence of Lu Qingshan and Sovereign Beihai, Iron Wire King could only nod in agreement.

"Very well!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then continued: "This time, when we move against Hundred Flowers King, everyone who can unleash Time Stop must do so against him. Then, all of us will simultaneously unleash Material Attacks!"

"Material Attacks?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Sovereign Beihai nearby quickly spoke: "Wan Jie King, Hundred Flowers King is one of the sixteen imperial clans of the Meng Yao Zu, a powerhouse of the Twin-Headed Yaodiao lineage! He long ago cultivated a human avatar, which allowed him to lurk within our human race for countless years without being discovered!"

"If we unleash Material Attacks, at best we can only destroy one of his avatars. It would be better for everyone to launch a combined assault, directly infiltrating and annihilating all of his avatars!"

"Indeed!"

"I think Sovereign Beihai's idea is excellent!"

"Wan Jie King, with so many of us gathered, wouldn't it be simpler to simply launch a Soul Attack to annihilate Hundred Flowers King?"

At once, the crowd began to speak up in agreement.

"Everyone, you do not know this!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand to signal silence, then continued: "As far as I know, when Hundred Flowers King lurked within our human race in the past, his identity was eventually exposed. Our human race then dispatched a Zifeng Zunzhe skilled in Soul Attacks to annihilate, or even enslave, him!"

"Yet even so, Hundred Flowers King ultimately withstood that Zifeng Zunzhe's attack and calmly self-destructed! This alone proves that Hundred Flowers King is extremely proficient in Soul Defense!"

"Among us, powerful experts skilled in Soul Attacks are already rare. Even if we combine our Soul Attacks, we still fall short of that Zifeng Zunzhe. I fear it will be very difficult to annihilate Hundred Flowers King!"

"And if we fail to annihilate Hundred Flowers King with a Soul Attack, once he is on guard, even attempting a Material Attack will make it very difficult to destroy him!"

"Therefore, we might as well directly unleash Material Attacks to annihilate him. If Hundred Flowers King's human avatar is nearby, we can completely destroy him. If his human avatar is not nearby, we can still seize the heavy treasures on his person!"

"So that is how it is!"

"I never expected Hundred Flowers King to withstand a Zifeng Zunzhe's Soul Annihilation!"

"This time, thanks to Wan Jie King's extensive intelligence, otherwise we might have wasted our efforts in vain!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the many Hei Fengwang Immortals around nodded and sighed in admiration.

Next, Lu Qingshan quickly discussed with the crowd some details regarding the upcoming assault.

With Lu Qingshan, an undefeated Hei Fengwang, and Sovereign Beihai, a powerhouse nearing the level of an undefeated Hei Fengwang, leading them, everyone was filled with confidence for the upcoming operation.

In the void outside, the commotion caused by the emergence of the heavy treasure spear located in the swamp region began to grow increasingly loud.

As time ticked by second by second, the aura radiating from that heavy treasure spear began to grow increasingly intense.

Thus, the surrounding void was filled with dense crowds of powerful experts from various cosmic races. All of them stared fixedly at the direction where the heavy treasure was emerging, each poised and ready, all expecting to seize the heavy treasure!

Voom!

Accompanied by a barely perceptible spatial fluctuation, that heavy treasure spear finally burst from the earth, then quickly transformed into a brilliant black light, flying straight upward.

The heavy treasure spear that countless people had awaited finally emerged.

The moment the surrounding crowd of over a hundred thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals saw the heavy treasure spear emerge, each and every one became incredibly excited.

As the first Hei Fengwang Immortal moved, it was as if a massive boulder had been thrown into a calm lake; the previously silent void was instantly shattered.

Countless alien races launched their attacks, and various ranged assaults erupted continuously.

Crash!

The previously silent void, like fragile glass, exploded directly, sending countless spatial fragments scattering in all directions.

At this moment, the spatial blockade had long been activated. For these Hei Fengwang Immortals to seize that heavy treasure spear, they would have to use movement techniques to rush to the spear's location.

"Charge! Charge quickly!"

"Hurry!"

"Everyone, work together! Do not let others snatch the heavy treasure!"

At once, countless Hei Fengwang Immortals around unleashed terrifying speeds, all striving to be the first to seize that heavy treasure spear.

Although their strength made it difficult to withstand the hundred thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals around them, experts of the same camp absolutely could not kill each other.

Therefore, once they seized the heavy treasure, they could completely hide within the ranks of their own camp's experts.

By then, when experts from other camps attacked them, those experts from their own camp, even if unwilling in their hearts, would be forced to intervene and block the attacks; otherwise, they themselves would suffer misfortune!

This gave them the opportunity to snatch the heavy treasure and escape successfully!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

At once, countless teams instantly erupted into a massive chaotic battle.

The four camps totaled over one hundred thousand Hei Fengwang Immortals, and most were at the peak of Hei Fengwang, the limit of Hei Fengwang, and so on...

They gathered in groups of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, forming alliances that advanced and retreated together.

Although their combined attacks could not match the precise coordination of the insect warriors controlled by the Insect Race Empress, due to their own immense strength, the power unleashed absolutely far exceeded the combined strikes of the insect warriors!

To withstand such terrifying attacks, even an undefeated Hei Fengwang expert would need to join hands with companions nearby to block them!

"This scene is simply too insane!"

"Indeed! I once encountered the emergence of a Sealed Star within the Star Tower of the Seventh Battlefield in the Outer Regions, and even then, it was not as insane as this!"

"Yes! This time, even over a dozen undefeated Hei Fengwang experts have arrived. It seems the heavy treasure emerging this time is likely even more precious than that Sealed Star!"

"These people are simply too insane; we must be a little more careful!"

"Charge, charge, charge! As long as we can seize the heavy treasure, we will be instantly rich!"

One by one, the Hei Fengwang Immortals around excitedly transmitted their voices to their companions nearby.

Lu Qingshan and Sovereign Beihai stood together at the front of many allies, gazing from afar at the heavy treasure spear being contested by countless experts.

At this moment, only a few seconds had passed since the heavy treasure spear fully emerged, yet already hundreds of Hei Fengwang Immortals had perished, and even over a dozen experts at the limit of Hei Fengwang had fallen.

The closer one got to the area where the heavy treasure spear was located, the more insane the slaughter became; even the space within that region had completely transformed into basic particle flows.

"Seize the treasure!"

"Seize the treasure!"

One by one, the Hei Fengwang Immortals near the heavy treasure spear permeated their Immortal Divine Power into it, seeking to imprint their soul marks within.

However, to claim a heavy treasure as one's own requires completely imprinting one's soul mark within it; though this time is brief, it cannot be disturbed.

Yet now, at the same moment, tens of thousands of Hei Fengwang Immortals sought to imprint their soul marks upon that heavy treasure spear; their Immortal Divine Powers interfered with one another, so naturally none could succeed!

Just then...

"Boom!"

From afar, a terrifying combined attack suddenly surged toward an area near the heavy treasure spear.

In that area, dozens of Hei Fengwang Immortals instantly turned completely to nothingness.

"It is the Meng Yao Zu's Fire Bird King and Black Light King!"

"Everyone, defend!"

Seeing the two powerful commanders of the Meng Yao Zu camp and their surrounding allies strike, the powerful figures of other camps near the area where the heavy treasure spear lay almost simultaneously unleashed defensive measures; in the end, they weathered the storm with a narrow escape, while only the dozens of unlucky ones struck at the very beginning perished completely!

And upon seeing the Fire Bird King and Black Light King act, the other supreme powerful figures around them could no longer hold back.

Qing Tang Wang, Huo Huangwang, Feng Ying Wang, Poison Dragon King... one by one, supreme powerful figures led their allies to strike!

"Flee quickly!"

"Run quickly!"

"Seize the heavy treasure quickly!"

Seeing the many supreme existences strike one after another, the other Hei Fengwang Immortals also became utterly mad.

Some among them began to regret coming to contest the heavy treasure and wished to flee this place; yet others intended to snatch a chestnut from the fire, seizing the heavy treasure amidst the chaos...

In an instant, the void around was filled with various mental-force weapons, soul attacks, energy attacks, mechanical weapon attacks...

Countless powerful figures, in their struggle for the heavy treasure, for looting the spoils left after the demise of other Hei Fengwang Immortals, for survival, and so on, truly displayed their unique abilities like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea!

"Seize!"

"Quick, they are all mine!"

"Hahaha! I waited here for this very moment; although I cannot seize the heavy treasure, as long as I can snatch some spoils left after the demise of Hei Fengwang Immortals by taking advantage of this slaughter feast, I will be fully content!"

In an instant, countless powerful figures within the Human camp, the Meng Yao Zu camp, the Insect camp, and the Mechanical camp were all killing and looting madly.

Amidst the chaos, the Hundred Flowers King of the Meng Yao Zu camp, however, remained calm and collected, leading over a thousand allies nearby to seek a suitable opportunity.

"I never expected a single heavy treasure to drive so many Hei Fengwang Immortals completely mad!"

The Hundred Flowers King thought silently: "If they knew I held four heavy treasures in my hand, even including auxiliary flight-type and soul-type heavy treasures, I fear even those invincible Hei Fengwang supreme figures would go mad!"

"Fortunately, I chose to go to the Human race to lie in wait back then; otherwise, perhaps I too would now be completely mad over a single heavy treasure like these people!"

"This time, I will first join these allies to kill more alien races, and then see if there is an opportunity to seize that heavy treasure!"

Thinking thus, the Hundred Flowers King immediately transmitted a voice to the allies around him: "Fellow allies, let us all join hands to attack the Insect camp's 'Bo Lai Wang'; I see he has already gathered spoils from the demise of over a dozen powerful figures; once we kill him, we will surely gain much!"

"Target Bo Lai Wang, attack!"
