Chapter 311

While Lu Qingshan was roaming on Primitive Star No. 05631, two other human powerhouses with powerful auras appeared on this primitive star.

If Lu Qingshan were here, he would immediately recognize these two as Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe of the Virtual Universe Corporation's human faction.

Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe were both High-level Venerable Realm cultivators, their strength among the human faction's Venerable Realm cultivators considered quite formidable.

With this opening of the primitive star, they naturally came to explore it.

"Gan Wu!"

A low voice spoke—it was Bei Ming Zunzhe: "Your luck is truly terrible; if we weren't bound by life-and-death friendship, I'd never join you on this primitive star."

"Bei Ming, don't say that!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe beside him couldn't help retorting: "Even if my luck is bad, it can't stay bad forever!"

"I've already perished twice, but aren't there other Venerable Realm cultivators in our human faction who've perished twice too?"

"And during the last two openings of this primitive star, I didn't come at all—surely I won't perish again just because I came this time?"

"Who knows?"

Bei Ming Zunzhe quickly chuckled: "Your bad luck is legendary in our human faction—I'm surprised anyone still lent you treasures this time!"

"Honestly, I didn't really want to come here either!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe sighed, then continued: "But after my two consecutive deaths, my debts piled up too high."

"Though my friends haven't pressured me to repay, over these long years I've been steadily gathering resources to settle them."

"But my wealth accumulation has been painfully slow—even after such long time, I still haven't cleared my debts."

"That's why I invited you, Bei Ming, to explore this primitive star together—I hoped to acquire a few treasures and finally pay off what I owe."

"That's true enough."

Bei Ming Zunzhe quickly chuckled: "But have you ever considered what happens if you perish again here?"

"That's impossible!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe immediately said: "We'll be careful this time—we won't encounter fatal dangers. Are you scared already, Bei Ming, before we even started exploring?"

"What am I scared of?"

Bei Ming Zunzhe laughed: "Even if I perish here, I'll only lose some treasures—I can still afford the cost of my faction reversing time to resurrect me!"

"I'm mainly worried about you, Gan Wu—you still haven't repaid your old debts; if you perish again, you'll never recover!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe waved his hand: "Enough talk—let's focus on exploring this primitive star. Maybe we'll find something valuable soon!"

At that moment…

A peculiar aura suddenly spread around Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe.

Having experience, they both paused slightly, then immediately reacted.

"This aura? Definitely a set of powerful treasures—or an ordinary supreme treasure!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe said at once: "And it's close—probably not far away!"

"Hahaha!"

Bei Ming Zunzhe beside him immediately sent a mental message: "Gan Wu, it seems I misjudged you—we encountered treasure just after arriving! Your luck isn't so bad after all!"

"Still, to secure this treasure, we'll likely have to fight other alien powerhouses."

"So what? With our strength, we can even challenge ordinary Cosmic Sovereigns!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe said quickly: "Let's hurry there—someone else might snatch it first!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe instantly became two streaks of light, speeding toward the source of the treasure's aura.

…

After Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe sensed the treasure's aura, several other strong teams in surrounding regions also detected it.

"It's the aura of treasure emerging—and so powerful! The treasure must be extremely valuable!"

"Treasure! It's not far— we can make it!"

"Hurry! Don't let other powerhouses get there first!"

Instantly, two or three strong teams rushed toward the treasure's emergence point.

…

On another side, Lu Qingshan was also roaming on Primitive Star No. 05631.

More than two years had passed since Lu Qingshan arrived on the primitive star, yet in all that time, he had only encountered one scene of a top-tier powerful treasure emerging.

In the following days, he hadn't obtained a single ordinary powerful treasure.

As Lu Qingshan wandered aimlessly across the primitive star…

"Help! Help! Myself and Bei Ming are under attack by alien powerhouses on Primitive Star No. 05631—eight High-level Venerable Realm cultivators! Request support! Request support!"

An urgent distress signal was transmitted directly to Lu Qingshan via the Virtual Universe System.

"A distress call from Bei Ming Zunzhe and Gan Wu Zunzhe?"

Lu Qingshan glanced at the signal and quickly determined the battle location was only fifty million kilometers away.

Though human powerhouses often schemed against each other, such conflicts mostly occurred below the Venerable Realm.

At the Venerable Realm level, especially when facing alien powerhouses, human cultivators remained highly united.

"Eight High-level Venerable Realm cultivators attacking Gan Wu and Bei Ming?"

Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: "They must have found something valuable."

Thinking this, Lu Qingshan immediately headed toward the battle coordinates shown in the distress signal.

…

In a vast, desolate mountain range, lush greenery stretched everywhere.

And above this vast mountain range, ten terrifying Universe Venerables were currently engaged in battle.

Strictly speaking, eight of those Universe Venerables were besieging the two, Gan Wu Zunzhe and Elder Bei Ming, from the Human Race.

In fact, the strength of Bei Ming Zunzhe and Gan Wu Zunzhe was not particularly great; logically, it should be very difficult for them to withstand a siege by eight peers of the same level.

However, these eight strong ones came from three factions: three Universe Venerables from the Insect Race Alliance, two Universe Venerables from the Meng Yao Zu Alliance, and three Universe Venerables from the Nine Realms Alliance.

Their main reason for besieging Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe was to seize the supreme treasure that the two had just successfully obtained upon its emergence.

But since they were not from the same camp, while besieging Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe, they remained constantly vigilant against other teams to avoid doing the work for others.

Precisely because these three teams fought independently and watched each other warily, Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe were able to continue holding on.

Yet even so, Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe were at an absolute disadvantage in the fight, and even frequently encountered extremely dangerous situations.

"Gan Wu!"

Bei Ming Zunzhe punched away a Meng Yao Zu Universe Venerable preparing to ambush him, then transmitted a voice to Gan Wu Zunzhe: "Besieged by these eight scum, the two of us will likely find it hard to escape this place with the treasure!"

"If we really can't hold on in a moment, I think it would be better to let them fight over that supreme treasure!"

"Rest assured!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe, who was currently fighting desperately while burning his divine power, quickly responded via voice transmission: "I have already sent a distress message; there should be Hong Alliance strong ones exploring nearby!"

"As long as we hold on until reinforcements arrive, we will naturally have a chance to escape with the treasure!"

"Of course, if our divine power is severely damaged and reinforcements still haven't arrived, I will definitely hand over that supreme treasure I just stashed away for them to fight over!"

Although Gan Wu Zunzhe and his companion were already in dire straits, Gan Wu Zunzhe was unwilling to give up the supreme treasure he had just obtained.

Speaking of which, the two of them were quite lucky to have obtained this supreme treasure this time.

At that time, they were the first to arrive near the supreme treasure; the treasure had fully emerged, so they immediately stashed it away.

But just as they intended to leave the area quickly, other teams arrived one after another.

Seeing that Gan Wu Zunzhe and his companion had taken the treasure, and that the two did not possess strength that inspired fear, the other strong teams naturally were unwilling to give up easily, so they quickly besieged Gan Wu Zunzhe and his companion. As time passed, the divine power of Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe continued to be consumed.

"Gan Wu, my divine power is already nearly ten percent depleted!"

Bei Ming Zunzhe transmitted his voice again: "Once divine power loss exceeds twenty percent, our strength will definitely decline!"

"Bei Ming, hold on a bit longer!"

While doing his utmost to resist the siege by various alien races, Gan Wu Zunzhe transmitted a voice to Bei Ming Zunzhe: "If we throw that supreme treasure out now, we won't know when we'll encounter such an opportunity again!"

Hearing Gan Wu Zunzhe's voice transmission, Bei Ming Zunzhe silently nodded in his heart.

Although precious treasures emerge from the Primitive Star from time to time, strong ones face two difficulties when trying to obtain them.

First, the time and location of a treasure's emergence are random; one cannot simply meet them whenever one wishes.

Second, naturally, the commotion of a treasure's emergence is huge and will definitely attract many strong teams from the vicinity!

Now that the two of them had encountered an emerging supreme treasure so quickly and managed to get it into their hands, giving it up now would indeed be a pity!

And as the battle continued, Bei Ming Zunzhe lost another five percent of his divine body.

"Gan Wu, give up!"

Bei Ming Zunzhe transmitted his voice helplessly again: "If we don't give up now, the two of us will likely both be in danger!"

"This..."

After hearing Bei Ming Zunzhe's repeated voice transmission, Gan Wu Zunzhe felt extremely helpless in his heart.

At this moment, he still owed a huge fortune to many friends and his race, so naturally he was unwilling to easily give up the supreme treasure already in hand.

But Bei Ming Zunzhe had lost fifteen percent of his divine body, and he was actually in much the same situation!

"Damn Meng Yao Zu scum!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe roared angrily in his heart: "If not for you, Bei Ming and I would have escaped long ago!"

The two Universe Venerables of the Meng Yao Zu Alliance were the second team to arrive, right behind Gan Wu Zunzhe and his companion.

If they had not blocked Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe first, the two would have already escaped smoothly by now.

But just as Gan Wu Zunzhe, in helplessness, intended to throw out the supreme treasure he had just obtained for others to fight over, he suddenly received a message from Lu Qingshan.

"Gan Wu, hold on; I will arrive at the battlefield at the fastest speed!"

"It is Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

Upon receiving Lu Qingshan's message, Gan Wu Zunzhe felt as if an ordinary person had just been given a shot of a powerful stimulant.

Immediately after, he transmitted a voice to Bei Ming Zunzhe beside him with immense excitement: "Bei Ming, Wan Jie Zunzhe is almost here; let's hold on a bit longer!"

"Wan Jie Zunzhe is right near us?"

Hearing Gan Wu Zunzhe's voice transmission, Bei Ming Zunzhe instantly became excited.

After the long passage of ten billion eras, Lu Qingshan now held a famous reputation throughout the universe; even many Universe Overlords were unwilling to fight him.

"That's right!"

Gan Wu Zunzhe immediately transmitted his voice: "Let's hold on a bit longer; once Wan Jie Zunzhe arrives, it will be those alien scum who suffer!"

"Hahaha!"

Bei Ming Zunzhe also laughed as he transmitted his voice: "I once saw Wan Jie Zunzhe act in the Chi You Secret Realm; at that time, one strike of his severely injured the Insect Race Alliance's Tian Qi Zunzhe. Now we can finally witness Wan Jie Zunzhe's peerless style again!"

Moments later, Lu Qingshan had already arrived near the battlefield.

"Eight High Venerables!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the crowd fighting in the arena: "Although with my current strength I have a full chance to kill them all, it is not advisable to make too many enemies!"

"Otherwise, if all their major camps send out Universe Overlords and Top-tier Universe Overlords to target me, although I am not afraid, it will be much harder to seize treasures in the future!"

"In that case, this time I will take those two Meng Yao Zu Universe Venerables as my target!"

During the long years of the past, Lu Qingshan had fought Meng Yao Zu strong ones the most, and had also from time to time killed one or two Meng Yao Zu strong ones.

Therefore, among the three major races of the Insect Race, the Meng Yao Zu, and the Mechanical Race, the Meng Yao Zu side hated Lu Qingshan the most.

Precisely for this reason, Lu Qingshan had made the two Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Meng Yao Zu the target of his current journey.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately transformed into a streak of light and surged toward the battlefield.

Naturally, Lu Qingshan's appearance attracted the attention of Gan Wu Zunzhe and others who were currently engaged in combat.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe has arrived!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's figure, both Gan Wu Zunzhe and Bei Ming Zunzhe wore expressions of relief on their faces.

After all, if Lu Qingshan had appeared even a moment later, they would have had to hand over the precious treasure they had just obtained, no matter how unwilling they were.

Meanwhile, the eight Universe Zifeng Zunzhe surrounding and besieging Gan Wu Zunzhe and the other also showed Solemn expressions on their faces upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear.

"Not good! It is the Wan Jie Zunzhe of the Human Race!"

"Damn it! It is actually that madman, Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

"How did this madman arrive so quickly?"

"Wu Di, what should we do next?"

Although Lu Qingshan was merely a single person, he was someone they feared greatly, for Lu Qingshan had previously achieved the feat of killing several High-level Universe Zifeng Zunzhe multiple times.

If they chose to continue fighting, they would not only be unable to pose any threat to Lu Qingshan, but they might even have one or two of them killed by that Wan Jie Zunzhe.

"Hmph!"

One of the Meng Yao Zu's Universe Zifeng Zunzhe soon transmitted a voice to his teammate: "I recall that Tian Hua Zunzhe of the Lord Tianlang lineage has always wanted to deal with this Wan Jie Zunzhe. Now that he dares to appear on this Primordial Star, I am sure Tian Hua Zunzhe will not let him go!"

Shortly after, this Meng Yao Zu Universe Zifeng Zunzhe quickly relayed news of Lu Qingshan back to his race.

And at this moment...

"Meng Yao Zu scum, accept death!"

Lu Qingshan had no intention of communicating with these alien experts at all; instead, he immediately ignited his divine power and simultaneously activated the Domain-type supreme treasure, Black Wind Sea.

With the support of Black Wind Sea, Lu Qingshan immediately held the High-level supreme treasure longsword, Falling Star Scar, and charged at the two Meng Yao Zu Universe Zifeng Zunzhe.

On the other side...

"Not good, it is a Domain-type supreme treasure!"

"This madman, Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

"Does he intend to leave all of us here?"

"Not good! We must quickly leave this Domain; our speed is absurdly slow within it, and we will surely be picked off one by one by that Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

The numerous alien experts trapped within Black Wind Sea were all filled with alarm.

A Universe Dominator possessing a Domain-type supreme treasure, if willing to spend some time and pay a price, would absolutely have the opportunity to pick them off one by one!

They had come to this Primordial Star to take risks, naturally having prepared themselves to fight to the death.

However, facing a Universe Dominator like Lu Qingshan whose strength far exceeded theirs, the only thing they could think of was to flee immediately.

At this moment, in the center of Black Wind Sea, after sensing the movements of the eight alien Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, Lu Qingshan instead directly charged at the two Meng Yao Zu Universe Zifeng Zunzhe.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under Lu Qingshan's terrifying attacks, the two Meng Yao Zu Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, whose divine bodies were already not very large, could only leave behind a single mournful scream before falling directly into Lu Qingshan's hands.

Upon hearing the screams of the Meng Yao Zu Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, the several Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Insect Race Alliance and the Nine Realms Alliance were also filled with panic one by one.

Fortunately, Lu Qingshan did not choose to continue the slaughter but instead immediately withdrew the Black Wind Sea Domain spreading in the surrounding void.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan withdraw the Black Wind Sea Domain, the several Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Insect Race Alliance and the Nine Realms Alliance first quickly fled to a safe distance, and then gazed toward Lu Qingshan's location across the endless space.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, you are truly too excessive!"

A Universe Zifeng Zunzhe of the Insect Race camp immediately roared: "You are a Universe Dominator; even after seeing you, we were forced to retreat voluntarily, yet you still dare to attack us. This is truly shameless!"

"Zunzhe Wu Di, are you looking for death?"

Lu Qingshan sneered coldly and immediately held Falling Star Scar to charge toward Wu Di Zunzhe's location; this action frightened Wu Di Zunzhe and his companions beside him into accelerating their escape immediately.

After all, he was far from Lu Qingshan's match; if they fell into that terrifying Domain again, they would surely be killed by Lu Qingshan.
