After reaching an agreement with Venerable Huoshen on returning the primordial-class supreme treasure, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his Divine Realm and retrieved the primordial-class supreme treasure being used by his Infinite Divine Sea avatar.

Of course, while retrieving the primordial-class supreme treasure, Lu Qingshan also did not forget to have his Infinite Divine Sea avatar split off a portion of its divine body to carry with him.

Having completed all this, Lu Qingshan swiftly carried the numerous supreme treasures back to the Chaos City.

Next, he first returned the rented primordial-class supreme treasure to Venerable Huoshen, then proceeded to the Human Clan's treasure vault.

Boom—

After the bronze gate slowly closed, Lu Qingshan promptly placed his top-tier domain-class supreme treasure, "Purple Thunder Domain," onto the blue stone disc ahead.

After the Virtual Universe System appraised the value of Purple Thunder Domain, a gentle voice immediately sounded in Lu Qingshan's ear: "One top-tier domain-class supreme treasure, donated to the Clan, grants 2.25 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points. Lu Qingshan, do you wish to donate this treasure to the Clan's treasure vault?"

"2.25 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points?" Lu Qingshan's expression flickered with surprise.

Compared to its original exchange price of 2.5 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, the donation value of Purple Thunder Domain was clearly much lower—equivalent to over eight hundred Heavy Treasure Points, enough to rival the entire fortune of a moderately wealthy mid-tier Cosmic Sovereign.

Yet Lu Qingshan paid it little mind, for this was precisely the point of donation!

The Human Clan's strong ones donate treasures to the Clan's treasure vault at slightly reduced prices, while others who need them pay the normal cost to exchange for them.

In this back-and-forth, the Human Clan naturally accumulates substantial resources, which can then be used to cultivate the Clan's next-generation geniuses and forge key locations (such as military bases on the Outlands battlefield, etc.)…

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan promptly nodded and replied: "Yes!"

Once the Purple Thunder Domain on the blue stone disc was absorbed into the Human Clan's treasure vault, Lu Qingshan's account was credited with 2.25 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

Without hesitation, Lu Qingshan immediately opened the exchange menu for auxiliary flight-class supreme treasures.

Auxiliary flight-class treasures take many forms, but the most common are wing-shaped and boot-shaped.

Generally, auxiliary flight-class treasures are quite precious—slightly more expensive than armor of the same tier, yet cheaper than domain-class or soul-class treasures of the same level.

Lu Qingshan browsed all auxiliary flight-class supreme treasures in the Human Clan's treasure vault, and ultimately selected the most suitable pair for himself within his budget: the Purple Thunder Soaring Boots.

"Purple Thunder Soaring Boots, auxiliary flight-class ordinary supreme treasure, greatly enhances the user's movement technique!"

The gentle voice echoed again in Lu Qingshan's mind: "The Purple Thunder Soaring Boots are a lightning-attribute supreme treasure; they can be activated by mastering the complete Lightning Primordial Law. If you have not mastered the complete Lightning Primordial Law, but have mastered the Time Primordial Law above it, you may still activate their power!"

"Purple Thunder Soaring Boots? That's the one!"

After reading the full description of the Purple Thunder Soaring Boots, Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction and submitted his application to exchange for them.

"Purple Thunder Soaring Boots, cost: 5 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points. Lu Qingshan, do you wish to exchange?"

"Exchange!" Lu Qingshan immediately nodded.

Boom—

The blue stone disc at the center of the side hall slowly opened again, and a pair of purple-gold boots, wreathed in wisps of purple lightning, flew out from the crack.

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, and the purple-gold boots instantly flew into his grasp.

"Purple Thunder Soaring Boots!"

Gazing at the supreme treasure boots in his hand, Lu Qingshan swiftly released a thread of divine power to permeate them, completing the mastery process.

After exchanging for the Purple Thunder Soaring Boots, Lu Qingshan's remaining resources fell below one Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Point, so he naturally did not exchange for any other treasures.

Next, Lu Qingshan directly left the Initial Universe, and while familiarizing himself within his Divine Realm with his newly acquired Purple Thunder Soaring Boots and the domain-class supreme treasure "Black Wind Sea" borrowed from Zifeng Zunzhe, he waited for the day the Primitive Star opened.

Thus time passed, and before long, another ten years had elapsed.

…

Within Lu Qingshan's Divine Realm.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan wore the Nine Dragon Sovereign Armor, stepped in the Purple Thunder Soaring Boots, bore the Meteor Trace, carried the domain-class supreme treasure "Black Wind Sea," and wore a World Ring containing the split divine body of his Infinite Divine Sea avatar.

"The Human Clan's strong ones have already advanced into the Primitive Star—it is time for me to depart!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "I hope I can gain some worthwhile rewards on this Primitive Star!"

After all, every time the Primitive Star opens, even Cosmic Lords may perish.

Thus, even though Lu Qingshan had prepared extensively, he dared not claim he would face no mortal danger within the Primitive Star.

But as long as he could break even before dying, even if his main body perished there, it would be acceptable.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan activated a temporary Divine Realm teleportation channel.

…

In a vast, desolate starry expanse over a hundred billion light-years from the Human Clan's territory.

This starry region held no celestial bodies or Secret Realms—only terrifying storms formed from electromagnetic fluids.

Hum!

As a hazy glow flared, a towering figure two hundred meters tall suddenly appeared in this cosmic void.

He wore purple-gold battle armor, bore a purple-gold longsword, and an endless aura of pressure naturally radiated from him, enough to instill fear in countless cosmic powerhouses.

Any well-informed powerhouse who saw this figure would immediately recognize him: Lu Qingshan, the Wan Jie Zunzhe, a Cosmic Sovereign whose fame had surged within the last hundred billion eons of the Human Clan!

"Hahaha, the Primitive Star has finally opened!"

Lu Qingshan gazed ahead and saw, amidst the electromagnetic fluid storms, a colossal vortex.

The vortex's diameter was roughly a hundred billion kilometers, emitting dazzling, radiant colored light that warped the surrounding space completely.

Merely the oppressive force generated by this vortex channel could annihilate most ordinary Immortal Spirits.

"This is the Primitive Star passage!"

Lu Qingshan gazed at the vortex ahead and mused: "The Primitive Star consists of 10,081 stars, each with a diameter of one hundred billion kilometers. Since it has just opened, there's no need to target a specific one—I'll just pick any."

Thinking of this…

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan took a step forward and instantly became a streak of light, flying into the dazzling colored passage ahead.

His figure sped deeper into the passage, and the oppressive force around him grew ever stronger.

Yet Lu Qingshan wore the Nine Dragon Sovereign Armor, and his life gene level had already reached a hundredfold—he felt no effect whatsoever.

Boom—

Amid the roaring distortion and trembling of the surrounding space, Lu Qingshan quickly vanished into the depths of the passage.

……

On Original Star No. 05631.

From within the dazzling vortex, a towering figure clad in purple-gold battle armor suddenly shot forth—it was Lu Qingshan, arriving via the vortex passage.

"This must be Original Star No. 05631!"

Lu Qingshan stood in midair and looked back; there, suspended in the sky, was the vortex passage.

"This Original Star is truly astonishing!"

Lu Qingshan carefully sensed the terrifying pressure exerted by the surrounding space: "Just this spatial pressure alone far exceeds that of a neutron star—even ordinary Immortal Gods would find it extremely difficult to move here!"

Before arriving at the Original Star, Lu Qingshan had already learned of its many peculiarities.

There are 10,081 Original Stars in total, each of identical size, with a diameter of roughly one hundred billion kilometers!

Moreover, spatial fluctuations on every Original Star are completely halted, and the pressure is unimaginably intense, making teleportation and Divine Realm transmission impossible here.

A diameter of one hundred billion kilometers is negligible to Cosmic Sovereigns.

But the pressure on an Original Star is terrifying, as if constantly within the domain of a supreme domain artifact—even Cosmic Sovereigns accelerating to sub-light speed require considerable time.

Furthermore, flying here, whether changing direction or accelerating, is vastly slower than in the outside world.

"The pressure here is still quite strong, but it has no effect on me!" Lu Qingshan sensed his surroundings, then casually chose a direction and swiftly shot through the air.

The regions where treasures appear on an Original Star are entirely random, with no discernible pattern—whether one stays in one place or wanders endlessly across the Original Star, the probability of encountering a treasure emerging is nearly identical.

As Lu Qingshan advanced, he continuously sensed the energy signatures around him.

After all, the data he obtained indicated that treasures emerging on an Original Star always produce disturbances, and the more precious the treasure, the greater the disturbance.

Thus, sensing energy signatures on an Original Star is a common method among powerful beings to locate treasures.

Thus, Lu Qingshan flew across Original Star No. 05631 for over half a year before finally sensing a relatively weak energy fluctuation.

"Over there!" Lu Qingshan immediately turned his head.

After confirming the direction of the energy fluctuation, Lu Qingshan instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the distance.

The pressure on this Original Star is terrifying, so as Lu Qingshan accelerated, the resistance he faced grew ever greater—but for Lu Qingshan clad in the Nine Dragon Supreme Heaven Armor, it was easily bearable.

When Lu Qingshan reached sub-light speed, less than five seconds later he arrived above an endless swamp.

Above the swamp, five figures were locked in battle: three were Yu Clan warriors, and the other two were Meng Yao Zu warriors.

These five warriors were all High Cosmic Sovereigns; though the three Yu Clan warriors held a slight advantage, the two Meng Yao Zu warriors, relying on their massive divine bodies, continuously tangled with the Yu Clan warriors.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan swiftly descended, and immediately discerned the emerging treasure and the identities of the five warriors engaged in combat.

"From the aura, this emerging treasure must be a supreme-grade artifact!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "The artifact hasn't fully emerged yet. The combatants are three Cosmic Sovereigns of the Yu Clan and two of the Meng Yao Zu—all High Cosmic Sovereigns. They pose no threat to me!"

Meanwhile, other squads were rapidly approaching this region.

Among the combatants, the two Meng Yao Zu warriors were clearly losing ground, but since they were closer to the treasure's emergence point, they intended to use their massive divine bodies to hold out until the treasure fully emerged, then seize it first.

As time passed, three more warrior squads arrived.

Yet these newly arrived squads did not immediately intervene; instead, they all silently waited, preparing to fight only when the supreme artifact fully emerged.

Soon…

"The treasure has emerged!"

"It's out!"

The warrior squads in the sky instantly erupted in excitement, and the battle between the Meng Yao Zu and Yu Clan warriors reached a fever pitch.

Splash!

In an instant, the divine power of countless warriors flooded the area around the newly emerged artifact, each attempting to penetrate it and claim mastery.

But their divine powers interfered with one another, and none succeeded in establishing mastery.

After all, imprinting a life signature onto a supreme artifact or a domain artifact requires solitude and absolute freedom from interference.

At that moment, Lu Qingshan, high above, began his dive downward.

As he dove, Lu Qingshan instantly activated the domain artifact "Black Wind Sea," borrowed from Zifeng Zunzhe!

Boom—!

Countless black whirlwinds instantly spread across the surrounding spacetime, turning the entire swamp region into an ocean of black whirlwinds.

The five High Cosmic Sovereigns locked in battle, engulfed by the black whirlwind ocean, faced immense resistance and their speed plummeted.

Within this endless black sea, streams of black whirlwinds converged, rapidly forming a strange beast's spectral form.

The beast dove straight toward the newly emerged artifact, extended a claw, seized it, then charged upward toward the descending Lu Qingshan, clutching the artifact.

Silence.

Seeing this, the Yu Clan and Meng Yao Zu warriors halted their battle, and the warrior squads hovering above stood stunned.

They were merely competing for a supreme artifact—how had a domain artifact suddenly appeared?

Moreover, the power of this domain was clearly that of an exceedingly precious domain artifact.

"That's…"

"It looks like Black Wind Sea!"

"Yes! It's Black Wind Sea! Zifeng Zunzhe's Black Wind Sea from the Human Clan!"

"That man isn't Zifeng Zunzhe—I remember Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body isn't this large!"

"That's Wan Jie Zunzhe of the Human Clan—I've seen him fight before!"

Instantly, the surrounding warriors turned their gazes toward Lu Qingshan, standing at the center of the endless black whirlwind ocean.

The black whirlwinds howled as the strange beast flew before Lu Qingshan and extended its claws, placing the newly emerged artifact into his hands.

This is a heavy treasure divine hammer; it appears to have already crossed into the tier of top-tier heavy treasures.

While the crowd was shocked, Lu Qingshan also quickly separated a wisp of divine power to permeate it, quickly completed the master-acceptance, and stored the heavy treasure divine hammer into his World Ring.

Only then did Lu Qingshan look at the crowd and say: "You have fought for so long; although it is cruel to let you return empty-handed, this heavy treasure belongs to me!"

"If any of you are unwilling, feel free to strike at me!"

"Leave quickly!"

"Let's go!"

"The strength of Wan Jie Zunzhe is still terrifying; even with Long Ya Zunzhe uniting numerous Universe Venerables, they could not do anything to him, so we have even less chance!"

"I truly did not expect Wan Jie Zunzhe to have borrowed Venerable Yao Guang's 'Black Wind Sea'; it seems he will be even more difficult to deal with in the future!"

"Let's go too; this time we definitely have no chance to obtain the treasure!"

In an instant, squads all around rapidly retreated in different directions; even the Demon Clan experts and Meng Yao Zu experts who had just fought a great battle were no exception.

Although they had lost some divine power due to fighting over the heavy treasure just now, after seeing that the person who took the heavy treasure was Lu Qingshan, at most they were just somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts.

Because they knew clearly in their hearts that with Lu Qingshan's strength, it was fundamentally impossible for them to snatch the heavy treasure from Lu Qingshan's hands; they might even be killed by Lu Qingshan.

Although they were all outstanding figures among the High-Level Universe Venerables, they did not have absolute certainty to preserve their lives against a Universe Hegemon.

This is true fame!

The illustrious fame Lu Qingshan forged by roaming the universe for a hundred billion eras!

On the other side, after seeing the crowd retreat one by one, Lu Qingshan did not rely on the advantage of possessing a Domain-type supreme treasure to chase and kill them; even those two Meng Yao Zu experts were no exception.

After all, there are some unwritten rules for roaming the Primordial Star!

On the Primordial Star, if there is no huge conflict of interest or deep grudge, generally one will not deal a killing blow after encountering experts from different camps.

It is fine if they are experts of the same level, but if experts with a huge gap in strength frequently attack the weak, it will absolutely provoke pursuit by enemies with even greater strength.

Venerable Yao Guang had once told Lu Qingshan that in the past, an alien Universe Lord felt that slowly searching for treasures that were coming into the world was too slow, so he simply directly attacked the Universe Venerables of various races roaming the Primordial Star.

In just a few short months, this Universe Lord had already killed hundreds of Universe Venerables of various races, gathering resources worth over a hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points.

However, his such widespread slaughter naturally drew out the Universe Lords behind the experts of various races.

In the end, this Universe Lord was besieged by several Universe Lords and perished, and the race he belonged to was directly annihilated by other races, completely disappearing into the vast universe.
