Chapter 281: Astonishing Harvest

After leaving the Glory World, Lu Qing quickly connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and arrived within Hong Alliance City.

Inside the inner city of Hong Alliance City, within a rather luxurious mansion, Lu Qing's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Upon arriving in Hong Alliance City, Lu Qing quickly sent emails to "King Huiyao" and "King Qinglu."

Both King Qinglu and King Huiyao were inheritors of the Beast God from the Ancestral God Sect. At the same time, their strength was among the best of the third-level inheritors. Among them, King Qinglu, an alien of the Hong Alliance, had even created an ultimate secret technique; his strength was enough to rank in the top 100 among more than 90 million third-level inheritors!

The reason Lu Qing invited King Huiyao and King Qinglu was, naturally, to test his own strength.

Although Lu Qing had now fully comprehended the third level of the Thunder-Time Fusion Law, the secret techniques he had previously created were based on the Time Origin Law. These two were certainly unable to combine perfectly, and it was inevitable that he would be affected to some extent during combat.

He could actually go and modify his combat secret techniques, but doing so would inevitably take a considerable amount of time. By then, once the heat of him obtaining the treasure in the Treasure Land subsided, it would be too difficult for him to gain the attention of the many inheritors within the Ancestral God Sect as he did now.

On the other side, King Huiyao and King Qinglu also quickly received the invitation email sent by Lu Qing.

Among them, King Huiyao was the personal disciple of the Lord of Qingdong, the person in power at the First Universe Bank. Although he had not broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, he already possessed the strength of an invincible King Sealed.

As for King Qinglu, he also came from a powerful race. Although it was not as strong as the human race, King Qinglu had created an ultimate secret technique during the Immortal stage and was equally valued by the higher-ups of his race, so he was also bestowed with precious treasures.

It was precisely because of this that the two of them were also qualified to enter and reside in the inner city of Hong Alliance City.

After receiving Lu Qing's email, King Huiyao and King Qinglu quickly rushed to the gate of Lu Qing's mansion, and Lu Qing also quickly welcomed them out with a smile.

"Venerable Wanjie!"

"Greetings, Venerable Wanjie!"

King Huiyao and King Qinglu bowed slightly in salute at the same time.

"Hahaha! You two need not be so formal!"

Lu Qing reached out to gently support King Huiyao and his companion, then greeted them and walked into the mansion.

After both parties arrived in the mansion's living room and took their seats as host and guests, Lu Qing quickly waved his hand to send many fine wines and delicacies to King Huiyao and his companion.

"You two, please!" Lu Qing raised his glass to invite them.

"Thank you, Venerable!" King Huiyao and King Qinglu also raised their glasses and said.

After King Huiyao and his companion drank the fine wine in their glasses in one gulp, Lu Qing then spoke: "I invited you two here this time mainly because there is something I would like to ask for your help with!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, King Huiyao and King Qinglu could not help but be startled.

Afterward, King Huiyao and his companion looked at each other, and King Huiyao spoke: "Venerable, if you have any orders, the two of us will certainly do our utmost!"

"It is just that our strength is far from that of the Venerable; I do not know in what way we can be of help to the Venerable?"

Although King Qinglu did not speak, he also looked at Lu Qing with a puzzled expression.

"It is like this!"

Lu Qing quickly said: "I would like to spar with you two in the Virtual Universe using the Beast God Dao, so that I can know what level my current strength is at among the third-level inheritors, and then choose a suitable opponent to challenge!"

"So that is how it is!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, King Huiyao and King Qinglu quickly nodded and agreed.

Afterward, after the three of them drank freely in the mansion's living room, they quickly arrived at a training space within Hong Alliance City.

At this time, the training ground had been simulated into a vast, boundless mountain range. Lu Qing stood on the peak of a mountain, while King Huiyao and King Qinglu also stood on mountains not far away opposite him.

"Venerable Wanjie!"

King Huiyao, not far away, quickly said: "My strength is a bit weaker than King Qinglu's; why don't the two of us spar first?"

In fact, in the eyes of King Huiyao and King Qinglu, although Lu Qing was a Universe Venerable, he had only just stepped into the third level of the Beast God Dao, and in terms of comprehension of the Beast God Dao alone, he certainly could not compare to them.

Therefore, King Huiyao, who was slightly weaker in strength and also a powerhouse of the human race, wanted to make the first move, which could also allow Lu Qing not to lose too embarrassingly.

"No problem!" Lu Qing quickly nodded and said.

Anyway, he invited King Huiyao and his companion here this time to verify his own strength. Now that both of them were here, it didn't matter who made the move.

In mid-air, Lu Qing and King Huiyao faced each other from a distance.

At this time, both of them were using divine bodies at the peak King Sealed level, so naturally, there would be no discomfort.

Boom! Boom!

Lu Qing and King Huiyao almost simultaneously burned their own immortal divine power.

"Ha!"

King Huiyao held a black, ancient, simple long saber tightly in his hand. With a low shout, his whole body transformed rapidly, scales appearing all over him, and his arms became extremely thick, just like a humanoid Beast God.

Behind King Huiyao, a huge Beast God phantom appeared, its pair of illusory eyes filled with madness.

King Huiyao, who was originally very gentle, had now become completely crazy, with only a trace of clarity remaining deep in his eyes. Afterward, he turned directly into a stream of light and lunged toward the direction where Lu Qing was.

"Well come!"

Lu Qing also quickly held a simulated purple crystal long sword and met him.

For a time, saber blades raged and sword light crisscrossed in the training ground.

In the distance, King Qinglu was carefully watching the battle between Lu Qing and King Huiyao.

"I didn't expect Huiyao to go all out from the beginning!"

King Qinglu could not help but think secretly in his heart: "In this state, even if I wanted to defeat King Huiyao, it would be very difficult. I wonder how Venerable Wanjie will deal with it?"

Compared to King Sealed Immortals, Universe Venerables are indeed very powerful.

However, King Qinglu and King Huiyao were both invincible King Sealed powerhouses standing at the very peak of King Sealed Immortals. Except for the comprehension of laws, they were already not much different from Universe Venerables in terms of amplitude secret techniques and secret technique mastery. Once they broke through, they would at least possess the strength of a mid-level Universe Venerable.

And now that they were sparring with Venerable Wanjie purely through fusion laws, the gap in law comprehension disappeared, and naturally, they could be evenly matched or even have a chance to win.

But just at this moment...

"What?"

King Qinglu was completely shocked, looking at Lu Qing and King Huiyao, who were fighting, in disbelief.

He saw that the movements of King Huiyao, who was originally evenly matched or even slightly superior, suddenly appeared to have a moment of stagnation, while Lu Qing immediately seized this fleeting opportunity and directly beheaded King Qinglu with one sword!

Lu Qing looked at King Qinglu, who had a stunned expression in the distance; Lu Qing was also somewhat surprised in his heart.

You must know that after Lu Qing accepted the inheritance of the Four Directions Divine Generals, his body amplitude had reached 86 times, which was very astonishing even among Universe Venerables, let alone at the King Sealed Immortal level!

Moreover, although Lu Qing had not created new combat secret techniques with the Thunder-Time Fusion Law, he had originally created the first four styles of ultimate secret techniques with the Time Origin Law.

Coupled with the fact that he had fully comprehended the third level of the fusion law, even if he forcibly used the first three styles of the "Nine Swords of Cutting Heaven" he had created before, he could still rival some extremely powerful peak-level combat secret techniques.

But what Lu Qing did not expect was that when he was sparring with King Huiyao, the opponent's divine power explosion was clearly a notch weaker than his, yet he was slightly at a disadvantage.

In the end, he relied on his powerful will to unleash a soul attack secret technique, which allowed him to successfully defeat the opponent.

"I lost!"

King Huiyao, who had recovered, flew over from the distance, then looked at Lu Qing in disbelief: "Venerable Wanjie, I didn't expect that you would have reached this level just after stepping into the third level of the Beast God Dao!"

Although Lu Qing was a Universe Venerable, his cultivation time was much less than King Huiyao's.

And King Huiyao had long heard about Lu Qing's display of extremely powerful soul attack prowess on the extraterritorial battlefield.

Therefore, when he was sparring with Lu Qing, he had been guarding against Lu Qing's soul attacks.

In his view, Lu Qing's will might be a bit stronger, but his own will had also entered the Universe Venerable level.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Qing's comprehension of the Beast God Dao was slightly worse than his, he relied on the peak-level soul defense secret technique he created himself, which was absolutely able to block Lu Qing's soul attacks.

But now...

"I also concede, no need to compare anymore!"

King Qinglu also quickly shook his head and sighed: "Although my strength is a bit stronger than King Huiyao's, my soul defense is about the same as King Huiyao's."

"Venerable, you were just able to use soul attacks to make King Huiyao's movements stagnate; naturally, I would be no exception, and naturally, I would not be the Venerable's opponent."

"Venerable, you were able to cultivate the Beast God Dao to this level in such a short time; we are convinced!"

At this time, King Huiyao and King Qinglu felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts.

You must know that in the long history of the Ancestral God Sect, there had indeed been some Universe Venerables who had just arrived at the Ancestral God Sect as second-level inheritors or third-level inheritors.

Although they could relatively easily cultivate the Beast God Dao to the fourth level or even the fifth level, this also required a very long period of time.

Just like more than 3 million eras ago, when the Pixiu Venerable of the Prison Race first became a Beast God inheritor, he was only a second-level inheritor.

At that time, the Pixiu Venerable spent tens of thousands of years becoming a third-level inheritor, and then spent more than 1 million years becoming a fourth-level inheritor.

During this period, the Pixiu Venerable had also been challenged by King Sealed Immortals among the third-level inheritors, and naturally, there were wins and losses.

And now, Lu Qing had cultivated the Beast God Dao to this level in such a short time; otherwise, even with a strong will, it would be impossible to make their movements stagnate through simple soul attacks.

Afterward, King Huiyao could not help but sigh: "Venerable Wanjie, it seems that you are indeed very talented in the cultivation of the Beast God Dao!"

"Perhaps it won't be long before you can become a sixth-level inheritor or even a seventh-level inheritor!"

"As for those third-level inheritors who challenge you, no one should be your opponent. We congratulate Venerable Wanjie here in advance for being able to harvest a large amount of Glory Points!"

"Hahaha, I just have a slightly higher original realm!"

Lu Qing quickly said with a smile: "I believe that it won't be long before you two can also become fourth-level inheritors. By then, our Hong Alliance will have two more Universe Venerables!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, there was no look of expectation on the faces of King Huiyao and King Qinglu.

Once upon a time, they had also felt that they would inevitably be able to step into the fourth level of the Beast God Dao in the future, or even break through to become Universe Venerables.

But after a long time, they realized how difficult it was to achieve this.

And even if they successfully stepped into the fourth level of the Beast God Dao, it was not certain that they would be able to step into the Universe Venerable realm.

Among the current fourth-level inheritors, there are still some King Sealed Immortals.

Next, Lu Qing entertained King Huiyao and King Qinglu in his mansion again.

After King Huiyao and his companion left, Lu Qing quickly sat alone in his mansion and thought about how to obtain Glory Points.

Through the battle with King Huiyao, Lu Qing also understood that his own strength could now be considered a leader among third-level inheritors.

Those who wanted to challenge him were naturally not to be feared.

It was just that nearly a hundred challengers alone were naturally far from enough for Lu Qing.

"Among the hundreds of millions of Beast God inheritors in the Ancestral God Sect, the number of third-level inheritors is undoubtedly the largest!"

Lu Qing planned secretly in his heart: "I want to obtain as many Glory Points as possible; now is absolutely the best opportunity!"

"Otherwise, after I step into the fourth level or even the fifth level of the Beast God Dao, it will be much more troublesome to want to obtain Glory Points!"

"Since that is the case, it is best to take this opportunity to accumulate enough Glory Points. Even if I cannot obtain hundreds of thousands of Glory Points like Luo Feng in the original work, at least I must have thousands of Glory Points!"

"By then, relying on these Glory Points, I can continue to use the Enlightenment Blessing function to go to the Inheritance Land to accept the inheritance!"

"However..."

Lu Qing thought secretly in his heart: "To want to obtain a large amount of Glory Points by taking this opportunity, it seems that I still need to plan carefully!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing quickly had an idea.

"Since they won't take the initiative to challenge me, then I will take the initiative to challenge them!"

Lu Qing thought secretly in his heart: "The number of third-level inheritors in the Ancestral God Sect exceeds 90 million. Even if only one in ten thousand people accepts my challenge, it is enough for me to obtain nearly 10,000 Glory Points!"

"However, to make them accept the challenge according to my ideas, I still need to spend some effort!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qing quickly began to take action.

On the other side, within the Glory Secret Realm of the Ancestral God Sect.

Many King Sealed Immortals who challenged Lu Qing were excited one by one when they saw Lu Qing's figure disappear on its own.

On the side of the Monster Race camp.

"Hahaha!"

King Canghou laughed loudly: "What Venerable Wanjie, he doesn't even dare to fight with us King Sealed Immortals. Does such a person deserve to be called a Universe Venerable?"

"That's right! That Venerable Wanjie is a coward!"

Another Monster Race King Sealed Immortal also said with a smile: "Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant in the future?"

And just as the group of Monster Race powerhouses were communicating...

Suddenly, an inheritor of the Monster Race's Heavenly Wolf lineage was slightly stunned, and then he quickly said: "Everyone, that Venerable Wanjie sent me a battle invitation message!"

"King Biaoyan, are you saying that Venerable Wanjie of the human race has invited you to battle?" Other Monster Race powerhouses quickly asked.

"That's right!" King Biaoyan of the Heavenly Wolf lineage quickly nodded and said.

And just at this moment...

"I also received a battle invitation message from that Venerable Wanjie!"

"I received it too!"

"I thought I read it wrong; I also received a battle invitation message from that Venerable Wanjie!"

For a time, ten King Sealed Immortals spoke up one after another.

"Hmph, cowardly Venerable Wanjie!"

After hearing the words of these Monster Race King Sealed Immortals, King Canghou could not help but say coldly: "You don't dare to fight me, but instead go to challenge those who are weak. What kind of powerhouse are you?"

"That's right! That Venerable Wanjie is truly too cowardly!"

For a time, the group of Monster Race powerhouses denounced him one after another.

Soon...

"King Biaoyan!"

King Canghou quickly looked at King Biaoyan on the side: "Among our Monster Race powerhouses who received the battle invitation message from that Venerable Wanjie, your strength is the strongest. How about you go and fight that Venerable Wanjie?"

"I go and fight that Venerable Wanjie?" King Biaoyan was suddenly somewhat unwilling.

Although he also despised that Venerable Wanjie, since the other party dared to invite him to battle, he must have some certainty in his heart.

How difficult is it for him to accumulate Glory Points?

How could he accept the battle invitation of that Venerable Wanjie when he knew he would lose?

"Isn't it just one Glory Point?"

King Canghou quickly said: "I remember that not long ago, Venerable Black Wolf of your Heavenly Wolf lineage also fell into the hands of that Venerable Wanjie. Don't you want to wash away the shame for your Heavenly Wolf lineage?"

"Even if you lose, it's just a loss of one Glory Point. But if you can really defeat that Venerable Wanjie, perhaps you will be valued by the powerhouses of your Heavenly Wolf lineage!"

"Good!"

Hearing King Canghou's words, King Biaoyan finally nodded and agreed: "I will go and fight that Venerable Wanjie!"

Glory World, Battle World.

On a vast, boundless grassland.

Lu Qing wore purple-gold battle armor and looked from a distance at the figure of the powerhouse of the Monster Race's Heavenly Wolf lineage in front.

"King Biaoyan of the Monster Race?"

Lu Qing looked at the other party and thought secretly in his heart: "What a lucky guy!"

He had previously invited many powerhouses among the third-level inheritors in the Monster Race, Machine Race, and Bug Race alliances to battle at the same time, and this King Biaoyan of the Monster Race was the first to accept his battle invitation.

And after King Biaoyan accepted Lu Qing's battle invitation, Lu Qing first sent challenge emails to many third-level inheritors, and then began his first battle.

"Venerable Wanjie!"

King Biaoyan quickly shouted coldly: "Today I will let you know that I, King Biaoyan, am not to be trifled with!"

"Is that so?"

Lu Qing quickly said coldly: "Stop the nonsense, how many Glory Points do you intend to bet?"

"One Glory Point!"

King Biaoyan quickly said coldly: "Venerable Wanjie, I will only bet one Glory Point with you!"

He was not stupid; knowing that the possibility of losing was high, he naturally would not bet too many Glory Points with Lu Qing.

"Then hurry up and accept your death!"

Lu Qing gave a low shout, and then turned into a stream of light and rushed rapidly toward King Biaoyan.

It was just that Lu Qing's speed and attack power this time were much weaker than when he fought King Huiyao before.

And facing Lu Qing's attack, King Biaoyan was naturally extremely vigilant at first, but after fighting for a moment, he suddenly discovered that the strength of this Venerable Wanjie in front of him seemed to be even weaker than his own.

After discovering this point, a smile appeared on King Biaoyan's face instantly: "Do I have a chance to kill this Venerable Wanjie?"

Immediately afterward, King Biaoyan exerted force suddenly, quickly gaining the upper hand in the battle, and finally, after an extremely difficult battle, King Biaoyan finally killed Lu Qing and won this duel.

"What a pity!"

Seeing Lu Qing, whose divine body was completely annihilated, King Biaoyan could not help but sigh in his heart: "If I had known that this Venerable Wanjie was so weak, I would have bet three Glory Points with him, and then I could have won all his Glory Points directly!"

Glory World open-air plaza, the group of Monster Race powerhouses were looking forward to the battle between King Biaoyan and Lu Qing.

"Do you think King Biaoyan will win?"

"It should be very difficult! That Venerable Wanjie is a Universe Venerable after all, and there is information from the human race. He dares to invite King Biaoyan to battle; he must have great certainty!"

"Hmph! Damn Venerable Wanjie!"

King Canghou shouted in a low voice: "If you have the ability, accept my battle invitation!"

And just at this moment, King Biaoyan appeared on the Glory Plaza again.

"Look quickly, it's King Biaoyan!"

"King Biaoyan is here!"

For a time, the powerhouses on the Monster Race side all looked at King Biaoyan, which even attracted the attention of powerhouses from other sides.

"Everyone!"

At this time, King Biaoyan's face was full of smiles, and then he said very happily: "I did not fail my mission this trip; I have already killed that Venerable Wanjie!"

Afterward, a hazy light shot out from the black book beside King Biaoyan, directly manifesting a 3D virtual projection in mid-air of the open-air plaza, on which was the scene of Lu Qing and King Biaoyan fighting in the battle space.

The battle began from the moment Lu Qing and King Biaoyan met...

The battle was very intense, and then King Biaoyan quickly gained the upper hand, until Lu Qing was completely killed...

In order to show off, King Biaoyan deliberately displayed this 3D virtual projection as extremely large, so for a time, many powerhouses on the Glory Plaza saw this scene.

As for Lu Qing feeling angry because of losing face, as a Monster Race powerhouse, he would care even less.

On the contrary, the angrier Lu Qing was, the greater the credit he had established for the Monster Race!

"This is..."

"Unbelievable!"

"That Venerable Wanjie actually lost at the hands of King Biaoyan!"

After seeing that the battle record of Venerable Wanjie on the third-level leaderboard had become 0 wins and 1 loss, the inheritors of various races in the universe who were active in the Glory World were completely shocked!

Many of them had received Lu Qing's battle invitation message before and didn't know what to do, but now...

"That Venerable Wanjie also invited me to battle just now. My strength is even stronger than King Biaoyan's. If I agree to the duel, wouldn't I be able to get one Glory Point for nothing?"

"That Venerable Wanjie and the human race are indeed not to be trifled with, but this time it was Venerable Wanjie who took the initiative to invite me to battle. The experience of ravaging a Universe Venerable is not often seen. Accept the battle!"

"Accept the battle quickly! Otherwise, when Venerable Wanjie's Glory Points are won by others, it won't be my turn!"

"Venerable Wanjie just opened a treasure in the Treasure Land. If we can defeat him, perhaps we can open other treasures!"

"Although Venerable Wanjie invited me to battle, and my strength is stronger than King Biaoyan's, it's better not to provoke that human race and Venerable Wanjie. Avoid the battle!"

"That Venerable Wanjie dares to invite so many of us to battle at the same time; perhaps there is some conspiracy in this matter. Avoid the battle!"

If the powerhouses of other races were considering whether to accept Lu Qing's battle invitation at this time, then the powerhouses of the human race and Hong Alliance were somewhat helpless after seeing the video of King Biaoyan defeating Lu Qing.

"Sigh!"

Venerable Qinghuo could not help but sigh: "I didn't expect Wanjie to be so impulsive. Now that he has lost to a King Sealed Immortal, he has lost a lot of face!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal!"

Venerable Taoxiu on the side quickly said: "Victory and defeat are common things. When our Hong Alliance powerhouses meet that King Biaoyan in the future, we can just crush him to death!"

"This is..."

King Huiyao, who had just lost to Lu Qing in the Virtual Universe, had a look of confusion on his face: "How could Venerable Wanjie lose to that King Biaoyan?"

"I don't know yet!"

Venerable Qinglu on the side quickly said: "However, looking at the video, King Biaoyan's strength has not improved much, and Venerable Wanjie should have deliberately hidden his strength. Perhaps there is some planning in this that we don't know about!"

"Let's continue to watch; perhaps the truth will come out soon!"

Lu Qing did not pay too much attention to the views of those alien races or even the Hong Alliance powerhouses.

At this time, his face was full of smiles because he was constantly receiving messages from third-level inheritors accepting his battle invitation.

One thousand people, two thousand people, three thousand people...

After a full nine thousand people accepted his battle invitation, the new messages began to gradually decrease.

And at this time, Lu Qing also accepted all the battle invitations from the many powerhouses who had invited him to battle before.

In the Monster Race camp, King Canghou suddenly frowned.

Because just now, he received a message that Lu Qing had accepted his battle invitation.

"How is this possible?"

King Canghou was full of confusion: "That Venerable Wanjie couldn't even defeat King Biaoyan; how could he dare to accept my battle invitation? Could it be..."

King Canghou already had some guesses in his heart at this time.

Lu Qing naturally would not care about the views of people like King Canghou, but started his second battle.

This time the opponent was a Prison Race King Sealed Immortal whom Lu Qing had actively invited to battle.

"Venerable Wanjie!"

This Prison Race King Sealed Immortal appeared very friendly after seeing Lu Qing: "I don't know how many Glory Points you intend to bet?"

"One Glory Point!" Lu Qing quickly nodded and said.

Although he had enough confidence to defeat the opponent, he still decided to bet one Glory Point, so that even if he overturned, he would still have another chance.

The battle started quickly.

The battle also ended quickly!

The result was naturally no surprise. Facing Lu Qing, who had fully exploded his strength, this Prison Race King Sealed Immortal could not even hold on for a few moves, and even when his entire divine body was annihilated by Lu Qing in the end, there was still a look of disbelief on his face.

As time passed, the battles continued, but the open-air plaza of the Glory World had already completely exploded!

"15 wins, 1 loss!"

"55 wins, 1 loss!"

As more and more powerhouses were defeated by Lu Qing, and as Lu Qing's battle record on the third-level leaderboard continued to soar, the group of Beast God inheritors also quickly woke up.

"This is a trap!"

"Cunning human race, cunning Venerable Wanjie!"

"I didn't expect this Venerable Wanjie to be so cunning. I have been very careful when inviting people to battle, absolutely not provoking those who are stronger than me. I finally accumulated 51 Glory Points, but I didn't expect to lose one this time!"

"The speed at which this Venerable Wanjie earns Glory Points is too fast!"

"Hahaha! Fortunately, I didn't accept the battle invitation of that Venerable Wanjie!"

"Me neither!"

"Actually, this cannot be blamed on everyone. Many people would be tempted by the opportunity to ravage a Universe Venerable and get Glory Points for nothing!"

"That's right! If you want to blame someone, blame that Venerable Wanjie for being too cunning! And that Monster Race King Biaoyan for being too useless, not even seeing that Venerable Wanjie was hiding his strength, and even displaying the battle video!"

"Cunning Venerable Wanjie, damn King Biaoyan!"
