Chapter 274: Downfall

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the terrifying suction power of the Void Tower, Lu Qingshan, Zifeng Zunzhe, and Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe quickly left the God-Slaying Temple, and each instantly ignited their own divine power.

The Void Tower of Suo Jin Zunzhe indeed possessed endless might, yet when Lu Qingshan and the other two burned their divine power to resist fiercely, it was still insufficient to directly suppress the three of them, at most merely slightly hindering their speed.

And after leaving the God-Slaying Temple, Lu Qingshan and the other two, knowing they were absolutely no match for Suo Jin Zunzhe, did not hesitate at all, but directly followed their original plan, transforming into three streaks of light and flying off in three different directions.

At this moment, they were within the Ancient Mystery Secret Realm; once they accelerated to sub-light speed and put some distance between themselves and Suo Jin Zunzhe, it would be very difficult for Suo Jin Zunzhe to deal with them.

"Scum of the Human Race!"

Suo Jin Zunzhe, who had likewise ignited his divine power, directly sneered: "Thinking to flee now is already too late!"

"Ninety Million Jin Sha Domain, arise!"

Suo Jin Zunzhe's voice boomed, simultaneously sounding in the ears of Lu Qingshan, Zifeng Zunzhe, and Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe.

At the same time, within the vast spherical region spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers around them, a massive quantity of golden sand-like material instantly filled the area.

Although these materials looked like sand grains, they were manifested from a Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, and the diameter of every single sand grain reached several kilometers, making them truly indestructible.

For existences at the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe level, the might of each sand grain was not too strong, but with countless sand grains gathering together, their combined might was even sufficient to annihilate some weaker Universe Zifeng Zunzhes.

Fortunately, none of the three, Lu Qingshan and the others, were ordinary Universe Zifeng Zunzhes, and all possessed top-tier heavy treasures in the form of armor to protect them, so for the moment they encountered no danger.

But immediately after...

Boom!

Under Suo Jin Zunzhe's control, the boundless sand grains, each radiating endless Jin Guang, continuously and crazily converged toward the area where Lu Qingshan and the other two were located; their might constantly stacked, quickly forming three massive sand-grain whirlwinds that directly swept toward Lu Qingshan and the other two.

Facing a Domain-class treasure with such terrifying might, even with the strength of high-level Universe Zifeng Zunzhes that Lu Qingshan and the other two possessed, flying and moving became extremely difficult.

"Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao!!!"

"It is a Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao!"

"How is this possible?"

Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe and Zifeng Zunzhe, whose flight speeds were greatly affected, immediately felt despair in their hearts.

If Suo Jin Zunzhe had employed the top-tier Domain-class heavy treasure he previously equipped, they might still have had a chance to escape, but now the opponent was employing a Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, whose might had directly increased several-fold.

Without a miracle appearing, they had absolutely no hope of survival.

It was just that what they did not understand in their hearts was why Suo Jin Zunzhe, whose protective treasures were originally not particularly precious, could possess a Palace-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao and then also acquire a Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao.

"Hahaha!"

On the other side, seeing Lu Qingshan and the other two trapped in a desperate situation under the shroud of the Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, Suo Jin Zunzhe's face could not help but reveal a smile.

"Back then, when I adventured on the Primitive Star and entered that 'Cang Jiu Hall', I ultimately obtained the treasures within it very smoothly, and then exchanged this set of treasures most suitable for me from the race's treasure vault!"

Suo Jin Zunzhe thought silently in his heart: "Originally, I intended to conceal my strength and then find a way to kill a Universe Overlord!"

"However, every Universe Overlord is not so easily killed; Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe holds the God-Slaying Temple of the God-Slaying Zifeng Zunzhe, so my action this time can be considered to have yielded quite good gains!"

In fact, when Suo Jin Zunzhe first encountered Lu Qingshan and the other two, his thought at that time was merely to make a casual move.

If Lu Qingshan and the other two had directly separated and fled at that time, perhaps one or two of them might truly have escaped.

Because whether it was the Void Tower or the Ninety Million Jin Sha Domain, both were treasures Suo Jin Zunzhe had recently exchanged from the Meng Yao Zu treasure vault, and he had never before exposed them during an engagement with an enemy.

And given the strength and status of Lu Qingshan and the other two, in Suo Jin Zunzhe's eyes, they were not yet sufficient for him to expose these two major killing moves.

It was just a pity that at that time, for safety considerations, Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe directly brought out the God-Slaying Temple.

Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe's attitude of having nothing to fear while hiding inside the God-Slaying Temple truly made Suo Jin Zunzhe feel displeased in his heart;

furthermore, since the God-Slaying Temple was a top-tier Palace-class heavy treasure, its value was even greater than the combined total wealth of Lu Qingshan and the other two, so it was naturally worth Suo Jin Zunzhe exposing his two major trump cards!

With Suo Jin Zunzhe's strength at the Universe Overlord level, and wielding a Domain-class Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, it would be a joke if he still allowed Lu Qingshan and the other two to escape.

"Time to draw in the net!"

At Suo Jin Zunzhe's thought, a long blade radiating a dim light immediately appeared in his front paw.

Subsequently, Suo Jin Zunzhe held the long blade and advanced rapidly through the endless sea of sand, encountering no obstruction whatsoever; instead, he moved even more like a fish in water, because this Ninety Million Jin Sha Domain was his domain.

"The God-Slaying Temple is most important! First, kill that Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe!"

Thinking this, Suo Jin Zunzhe immediately held the long blade and rapidly approached the direction where Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe was located.

At this moment, Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe was undoubtedly the most panicked of the three, Lu Qingshan and the others.

Back when he planned to venture into the Cosmic Secret Realm, for safety considerations, he borrowed the 'God-Slaying Temple', this top-tier Palace-class heavy treasure, from his friend, the God-Slaying Zifeng Zunzhe.

He originally thought that with the 'God-Slaying Temple' protecting him, it should be very difficult to encounter danger while venturing into the Cosmic Secret Realm.

In fact, that was indeed the case; when he recently ventured into the Cosmic Secret Realm, he had successively encountered two Universe Overlords, but after he hid inside the God-Slaying Temple, the opponents had no way to deal with him.

And these two experiences made him feel even more fortunate in his heart that he had borrowed the 'God-Slaying Temple' from the God-Slaying Zifeng Zunzhe!

But now, facing Suo Jin Zunzhe who could kill him, Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe was completely panicked, even feeling some regret!

His God-Slaying Temple was borrowed from his friend, the God-Slaying Zifeng Zunzhe!

If he truly perished and lost the God-Slaying Temple, he could not even imagine what his future circumstances would be.

It must be known that the exchange price for treasures of the God-Slaying Temple's level in the Human Race's treasure vault exceeded two Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

And for a high-level Universe Zifeng Zunzhe who did not carry a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, the cost for the race's high-level authorities to intervene and resurrect him was merely 0.8 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points!

"Could it be that I will be like Gan Wu Zunzhe from now on?" Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe thought silently in his heart.

Gan Wu Zunzhe was also one of his friends, whose cultivation years were far more ancient than his, but precisely because he had perished twice in succession, and on one occasion had lost a Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao borrowed from a friend, he then owed the race and his friend a huge debt!

And just as various thoughts flashed through Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe's mind, while he continuously punched and blasted through the heavy obstacles ahead to fly...

"Hmm?" Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe's eyebrows instantly furrowed.

Although he was within the domain employed by Suo Jin Zunzhe, he still sensed the enemy's approach.

Subsequently, a cold blade light instantly flared up, then directly crossed the space of the endless sea of sand, rushing straight to Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe's front with overwhelming might!

Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe's eyes bulged wide, and then, in shock and fury, he directly unleashed the strongest ultimate move he had created, the 'Spirit Explosion Fist'!

Bang!

The cold blade light struck the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable's fist with a vicious boom, and the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable could even hear the trembling resonance of his top-grade treasure gauntlet.

Then, the sharp blade light, its momentum unabated, slashed directly onto the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable's divine body.

"This... the strength of Suo Jin Venerable has grown stronger again!"

Feeling that he had lost over forty percent of his divine power in this single strike, the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable was filled with terror in his heart.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing another blade light slash toward him again, the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable was instantly filled with despair in his heart; he knew he would surely die under this move.

He had intended to hide once more inside his top-grade palace-class treasure, the 'Slaughter God Palace', but if he did that, once suppressed by Suo Jin Venerable, he feared he wouldn't even be able to self-destruct.

"Enough! Explode! Explode! Explode!"

After quickly editing and sending several emails through the Virtual Universe, the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable ultimately chose to self-destruct.

An endless shockwave instantly swept in all directions; even the endless sand sea around them retreated in a short time, leaving behind a vacuum zone mixed with countless space particle streams.

"The Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable's strength was quite good, yet I still killed him with two blade strikes!"

Suo Jin Venerable controlled his domain-class supreme treasure to quickly gather the treasures left behind after the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable's fall, then couldn't help but think secretly in his heart: "With my current strength, beneath the top-tier universe overlords, I must be the most powerful, right!"

"If I want to continue increasing my strength, I must either break through to the Universe Master level or exchange a top-grade supreme treasure battle blade from the Clan Treasury!"

"Of course, those are matters for later; what is most important for me now is to first crush the remaining two little bugs!"

Thinking this, Suo Jin Venerable quickly charged toward the Sky Wind Venerable, who was relatively close to him.

Meanwhile, the Sky Wind Venerable was also fleeing for his life, but after feeling the power of that recent self-explosion, panic seized his heart.

"That was the direction of Lord Lord Tiequan!"

The Sky Wind Venerable couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I never thought that among the three of us, the one to fall first would be Lord Lord Tiequan, who had the strongest life-saving abilities; however, Lord Lord Tiequan possessed a top-grade palace-class treasure, so even if I were Suo Jin Venerable, I would have pursued him first!"

"I wonder if the next one will be me or Wan Jie Venerable?"

Just as various thoughts flashed through the Sky Wind Venerable's mind, Suo Jin Venerable, wielding the cold long blade, quickly rushed to his front.

At this moment, Suo Jin Venerable's space law domain had also combined with his domain-class supreme treasure, crazily hindering the Sky Wind Venerable.

Facing Suo Jin Venerable who had killed to his front, the Sky Wind Venerable did not simply wait to be killed.

Whoosh!

The Sky Wind Venerable merely shifted his mind, and the strange long sword on his back instantly disassembled, then, under the control of his divine power, formed a strange giant beast.

Then, this giant beast roared fiercely and charged directly at Suo Jin Venerable, who was pursuing and killing.

On the other side, seeing the Sky Wind Venerable fighting desperately, a look of surprise appeared on Suo Jin Venerable's face instead: "A thought-power weapon top-grade treasure? That counts as a small harvest!"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Suo Jin Venerable waved the long blade in his hand, and a mournful blade light instantly lit up again.

Bang!

Struck by this mournful blade light, the strange beast formed by the Sky Wind Venerable's thought-power weapon was instantly blasted into four pieces and five parts; then, the blade light's momentum unabated, quickly struck the Sky Wind Venerable's body.

"My divine body has lost sixty-three percent! Explode for me!"

After feeling the damage to his divine body, the Sky Wind Venerable did not hesitate at all and directly chose to self-destruct.

As a Universe Venerable of the Human Clan, even upon falling, he would be resurrected by the Human Clan's high-level officials through time-space reversal; it would just mean owing some debts.

But if he was killed by Suo Jin Venerable and fell into a deep sleep, then he would be completely finished.

"There is one last one!"

After controlling his domain-class supreme treasure to gather all the treasures left behind after the Sky Wind Venerable's self-explosion, Suo Jin Venerable quickly looked toward the direction where Lu Qingshan was: "The Human Clan's Wan Jie Venerable!"

"I heard that not long ago, Hei Lang Zunzhe of the Tianlang lineage fell at the hands of this Wan Jie Venerable; if I kill him this time, I believe I will gain considerable favor from the Tianlang lineage!"

Thinking this, Suo Jin Venerable quickly charged toward the direction where Lu Qingshan was.

On the other side...

"The Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable and the Sky Wind Venerable are both finished!"

After consecutively feeling the power of two self-explosions, Lu Qingshan also sighed deeply in his heart: "I never thought I would encounter Suo Jin Venerable, whose strength has greatly increased, this time!"

Just as when he previously killed Hei Lang Zunzhe, the biggest reason was that Hei Lang Zunzhe did not know his strength.

And the palace-class supreme treasure and domain-class supreme treasure in Suo Jin Venerable's hands were unknown to them; furthermore, Suo Jin Venerable's strength was originally enough to crush them, so being able to kill them was nothing surprising.

However, he did not panic like the Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable and the Sky Wind Venerable; after all, even if this avatar of his fell, at most he would only lose some divine power and top-grade treasures.

Just as Lu Qingshan was sighing in his heart, Suo Jin Venerable quickly killed to his front.

"Ridiculous human trash!"

Suo Jin Venerable's gaze was full of mockery: "Where do you still want to flee to?"

Lu Qingshan did not reply, but directly drew the Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword carried on his back.

"Still want to resist?"

Seeing Lu Qingshan take out his weapon, Suo Jin Venerable's expression couldn't help but pause slightly.

He had originally thought that Lu Qingshan, upon seeing him, would self-destruct immediately; after all, Lu Qingshan had only broken through not long ago, and his strength was definitely inferior to the previous Lord Lord Tiequan Venerable and Sky Wind Venerable; in his hands, he naturally wouldn't last even a single move.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Qingshan actually had the courage to attack in front of him.

"Interesting!"

Suo Jin Venerable nodded slightly, but still roared coldly: "But you still must die!"

As soon as the words fell, Suo Jin Venerable instantly slashed out a mournful blade light.

Whoosh!

Where this terrifying blade light passed, the universe space cracked layer by layer; the Sand Sea domain not only offered no obstruction but actually increased the blade light's power by a few degrees.

"Block it for me!"

Facing this terrifying move, Lu Qingshan also fully erupted.

While diffusing etherealized divine power to execute the 'Slayer God Sword' technique to attack Suo Jin Venerable's soul, he also fully executed the fourth form, the ultimate-level sword technique, 'Time and Space Severance'!

But unfortunately, after Lu Qingshan's etherealized Immortal Divine Power entered Suo Jin Venerable's body, it was as if an earthen ox had entered the sea, leaving absolutely no trace or sound.

Afterwards, a brilliant sword light flashed instantly, colliding violently with that terrifying blade light.

Immediately, that terrifying blade light shattered the brilliant sword light cast by Lu Qingshan, then slammed fiercely into Lu Qingshan's body.

Boom!

Although Lu Qingshan's divine body managed to stabilize his stance by relying on the defense of a supreme treasure armor, the armor's defense had long reached its limit, failing to even weaken one-tenth of the attack's power.

And under that terrifying assault, more than eighty percent of Lu Qingshan's divine body was directly annihilated.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan's will was strong enough to remain conscious despite the severe damage to his divine body.

Within the World Ring he carried, the divine body split from the Infinite Divine Sea Avatar released a surge of mighty divine power, instantly restoring Lu Qingshan's divine body to a perfect state.

"This..."

Sensing Lu Qingshan's aura weaken drastically before instantly returning to a perfect state, Suo Jin Zunzhe's expression first showed slight surprise, then quickly turned to delight: "This fool actually carries his avatar with him?"

Suo Jin Zunzhe naturally already knew about Lu Qingshan possessing an avatar; indeed, he had been quite envious of it.

Now seeing that Lu Qingshan carried his avatar with him, he was even happier.

After all, if he killed both Lu Qingshan's original body and his avatar, even if Lu Qingshan were resurrected by the human race's high command reversing time and space, it would require a huge price.

"Kill!"

A fierce glint flashed in Suo Jin Zunzhe's eyes; he then directly increased the speed at which he burned his own divine power, simultaneously unleashing his strongest ultimate move, one he had not even used when killing Lord Lord Tiequan Zunzhe and Tian Feng Zunzhe.

He saw his long blade in hand slash fiercely, yet the void seemed to show nothing appearing at all.

Yet at this moment, Lu Qingshan had already sensed a strange blade light rushing toward him rapidly through divine power, though the space ahead showed no disturbance whatsoever.

"Danger! Danger! Danger!"

Facing this terrifying attack with no trace to follow, Lu Qingshan found he could not even begin to block it.

"This time, I'm afraid I will truly perish!"

Sensing the terrifying power carried by that strange attack, Lu Qingshan understood in his heart that even if he wore ordinary supreme treasure armor, it might not withstand this move.

"Enough! When I first began venturing into the Secret Realms, I had long foreseen this day would come!"

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan ceased struggling and instantly detonated the entire divine power reserves of his Second Avatar and the portion of the divine body split from the Infinite Divine Sea within the World Ring.

If used solely for combat, the power unleashed by Lu Qingshan's Infinite Divine Sea Avatar was inferior to that of the Second Avatar, let alone the portion of the divine body split from the Infinite Divine Sea.

Yet the portion of the divine body Lu Qingshan carried with him alone had a diameter exceeding one hundred thousand kilometers.

Even though the life gene level of the Infinite Divine Sea Avatar was ordinary, and even though this was merely a split portion of the divine body, its explosive power remained extremely terrifying.

Boom!

In an instant, an attack capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted with Lu Qingshan at its center.

With Lu Qingshan at the center, everything within a million kilometers around him turned to nothingness; space within ten million kilometers turned into the most basic particle flows; even within a range of over one hundred million kilometers, there were only various space fragments, all matter utterly pulverized.

Facing such a terrifying attack, Suo Jin Zunzhe, clad in high-grade supreme treasure armor, felt considerable surprise in his heart.

This was not because the attack's power would harm him, but because he thought Lu Qingshan was far too impulsive to carry, and even detonate, such a massive divine body.

After all, once such a massive divine body detonates, restoring it later, even with the help of a Source-class supreme treasure, would require extremely long years.
