Chapter 328: The Poison Dragon Venerable in a Predicament

Poison Dragon Venerable is one of the top universe hegemons under the Northern Frontier Alliance, and his strength is extremely formidable even among many top universe hegemons.

As a top universe hegemon, the life gene level of Poison Dragon Venerable's main combat avatar is five thousand times that of ordinary life in the universe, and even his divine body reaches over ten kilometers.

Even if a regular Universe Master attacked him, he would be unable to inflict any damage on him within a short time.

Moreover, the most important point is that Poison Dragon Venerable possesses a high-grade palace-class supreme treasure called 'Poison Dragon Hall'; although it is far inferior to Lord Tianlang's Tianlang Hall of the Meng Yao Zu, it is still the strongest supreme treasure on his person, and he once relied on 'Poison Dragon Hall' to escape unscathed from the hands of a Universe Master.

Within the Northern Frontier Alliance, there are not many top universe hegemons worthy of Lu Qingshan's fear, and Poison Dragon Venerable is one of them.

First, Poison Dragon Venerable's Poison Dragon Hall possesses sealing functions, which are extremely effective against his Xuan Lei Bi Jie Tower;

Second, the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Hegemon created by Poison Dragon Venerable is quite effective against the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Hegemon he created, 'Nether Slash'; if they truly fought, he would definitely suffer a significant disadvantage.

However, after seeing Poison Dragon Venerable, Lu Qingshan was not overly worried; after all, he carried the split divine body of the Endless Divine Sea avatar, which is millions of kilometers in diameter, so as long as Poison Dragon Venerable could not annihilate all the divine power of his main combat avatar in one strike, he could definitely withstand Poison Dragon Venerable's attacks for a long time.

And when powerful beings roam the universe, they never rely on fighting alone; as a member of the Human Race, he can naturally call for help after encountering danger.

As long as he can hold out until reinforcements arrive, he will naturally be able to escape unscathed!

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, what should we do now?" Xin Feng Zunzhe, standing nearby, looked at Lu Qingshan anxiously and transmitted a voice.

Facing a top universe hegemon like Poison Dragon Venerable, he, as a high-grade Universe Venerable, could not even struggle.

If it were not for Lu Qingshan's presence, he would probably have chosen to explode himself by now.

Although he could be resurrected by the Human Race's high command reversing time and space in the future, the many treasures on his person would be lost, and he would also owe the race a debt of resources due to the resurrection.

"Xin Feng, Wu Chi, you two do not need to worry too much!"

Lu Qingshan quickly transmitted a voice to both Xin Feng Zunzhe and Wu Chi Zunzhe simultaneously: "With my methods, I should be able to hold out against this Poison Dragon Venerable for a while!"

"Moreover, I have already sought help from other powerful beings within the Hong Alliance; the Qing Luan Venerable of our Human Race is the closest to this primitive star, and is currently rushing here; once Qing Luan Venerable arrives, we will naturally be safe!"

That's right!

As soon as he encountered Poison Dragon Venerable, Lu Qingshan had already sent a distress message through the Virtual Universe.

Although he was confident he could withstand Poison Dragon Venerable for a short time, Poison Dragon Venerable's divine body was also quite massive, and during the battle, the stronger side holds an absolute advantage in divine power consumption.

Therefore, even though he carried a massive reserve of divine power, it would be very difficult for him to escape unscathed from Poison Dragon Venerable's hands without reinforcements arriving.

And after Lu Qingshan sent the distress message, Qing Luan Venerable, who was closest to this primitive star, had already been rushing over rapidly.

However, Qing Luan Venerable was roaming on another primitive star; even though he was quite close to the vortex channel, it would still take some time to arrive.

After hearing Lu Qingshan's transmitted voice, Xin Feng Zunzhe and Wu Chi Zunzhe felt slightly more at ease.

If Qing Luan Venerable could arrive in time, they would naturally be safe and sound, but they were also very worried about whether Lu Qingshan could block Poison Dragon Venerable's attacks during this period.

However, since matters had come to this, their worry was useless!

At this moment, Lu Qingshan looked at Poison Dragon Venerable of the Northern Frontier Alliance again, then couldn't help but sigh: "It seems the Northern Frontier Alliance really put a lot of thought into dealing with me, even inviting you, Poison Dragon Venerable, to act!"

A top universe hegemon like Poison Dragon Venerable hid inside the world ring carried by Grey Shadow Venerable, yet suddenly appeared after meeting him; this certainly could not be a coincidence.

It must be that he slaughtered many powerful beings of the Northern Frontier Alliance over the past few thousand years, provoking universal anger!

Indeed, that was the case!

Back when the Universe Venerables of the Northern Frontier Alliance decided at a meeting to invite Poison Dragon Venerable to deal with Lu Qingshan, this mission was quickly passed down to Poison Dragon Venerable.

After learning about Lu Qingshan's information, Poison Dragon Venerable quickly arrived at this primitive star where Lu Qingshan was located, then hid inside the world ring of Grey Shadow Venerable, with whom he had a quite good relationship.

Precisely because of this, after Grey Shadow Venerable encountered Xin Feng Zunzhe and Wu Chi Zunzhe, he fought fiercely without any conflict of interest or certainty of victory, all to attract Lu Qingshan's arrival!

Sure enough, Lu Qingshan, who received the distress signal from Xin Feng Zunzhe and the other, quickly rushed over.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, you have been too excessive recently!"

Poison Dragon Venerable quickly spoke in a cold voice: "Although your Hong Alliance has declared war on my Northern Frontier Alliance, it is limited to the Universe Venerable level only; this shows that the high command does not intend to completely tear off the mask!"

"If you had only killed a few Universe Hegemons, it would be one thing, but in just a few thousand years, over ten Universe Hegemons and dozens of high-grade Venerables of my Northern Frontier Alliance have perished at your hands; then do not blame me for coming to deal with you!"

"Hmph!"

Lu Qingshan let out a cold snort, then immediately transmitted a voice to Xin Feng Zunzhe and Wu Chi Zunzhe: "You two do not resist; I will first seal you both into the world ring I carry, and release you once it is safe!"

After speaking, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and sealed Xin Feng Zunzhe and the other, who offered no resistance, into the world ring he carried.

After all, the battle between him and Poison Dragon Venerable was destined to be incredibly terrifying; even Grey Shadow Venerable might not withstand it, let alone Xin Feng Zunzhe and the other.

Meanwhile, the Poison Dragon Venerable ahead, noticing Lu Qingshan's actions, did not stop him at all, but similarly sealed Grey Shadow Venerable into the world ring he carried.

In his eyes, the Wan Jie Zunzhe Lu Qingshan before him could not last long in his hands; after he killed Lu Qingshan, he could naturally crush Xin Feng Zunzhe and the other with a casual flick.

"Poison Dragon Venerable!"

After sealing Xin Feng Zunzhe and the other away, Lu Qingshan finally looked at Poison Dragon Venerable with interest: "It seems you think you have already got me cornered?"

"Hahaha, is that not so?"

Boom!

As soon as Poison Dragon Venerable finished speaking, he immediately ignited his own Venerable divine power.

A black lightning bolt instantly crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, with countless black electric snakes surging through the void, causing the time flow within the surrounding spacetime to become slightly disordered.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, receive death!" Poison Dragon Venerable instantly rushed to Lu Qingshan's front, roaring angrily at the same time.

At this moment, an ancient lightning spear surrounded by endless lightning had appeared in Poison Dragon Venerable's hand; as he roared, boundless light instantly erupted from that ancient spear, within which one could even vaguely see a vast universe being born and destroyed.

At the same time, the eight lower-level Origin Laws, the complete Time Origin Law, and a portion of the Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law were fully contained within it.

Whoosh!

Poison Dragon Venerable suddenly swung the spear in his hand; instantly, all his strength converged onto the lightning spear in his hand, and then he thrust it fiercely at Lu Qingshan.

Boom-boom-boom!

The ancient lightning spear, carrying endless might, swept through the sky; the feeling Lu Qingshan had was like an ordinary person facing the waves of the ocean alone.

"Come on!"

Facing this killing strike from Poison Dragon Venerable, Lu Qingshan showed no fear in his eyes; then he roared loudly as well, swung the Meteor Scar in his hand fiercely, and unleashed his self-created Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Hegemon, Nether Slash!

Bang!

In the void, the Meteor Scar, carrying brilliant sword light, struck the lightning spear in Poison Dragon Venerable's hand with a fierce crash.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The cosmic space around the two of them collapsed in an instant. Even with the stability of the primordial star, large numbers of spatial fragments instantly appeared and flew off in all directions, and Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe were also sent flying backward by the terrifying rebound force. Only, Zifeng Zunzhe steadied himself after just two steps back, while Lu Qingshan's figure was sent flying over a million kilometers.

During the process of being sent flying, the incomparably terrifying attack power of Zifeng Zunzhe—after being doubly weakened by Lu Qingshan's secret art and supreme treasure weapon—still carried world-shaking might as it bombarded Lu Qingshan's divine body.

This terrifying might, after being weakened layer upon layer, did not exceed the bearing limit of the Nine Dragon Hegemon Armor, so it was quickly reduced to one ten-thousandth of its original by the Nine Dragon Hegemon Armor, which had been activated to its third form.

But even so, Lu Qingshan felt every trace of his divine power trembling and being consumed!

In truth, at the level of secret arts, Lu Qingshan's Netherworld Slash and the cosmic overlord ultimate secret art employed by Zifeng Zunzhe were completely on par; it was only that Zifeng Zunzhe's secret art happened to counter his.

It was just that Zifeng Zunzhe's life gene level was fifty times that of Lu Qingshan, and combined with the gap at the supreme treasure weapon level, the explosive might he unleashed naturally far surpassed Lu Qingshan's.

"My divine body has lost twenty percent?"

After the rampaging might within his body dissipated, Lu Qingshan quickly sensed the state of his divine body at this moment, and could not help but feel a wave of relief in his heart.

One must remember that when the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu had obliterated sixty percent of his divine body in a single strike, he had still felt that before exhausting Lu Qingshan's divine power reserves he would be unable to do anything to him, let alone this Zifeng Zunzhe.

Of course, this did not mean that Zifeng Zunzhe's strength was inferior to the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu's.

In fact, as a veteran top-tier cosmic overlord, Zifeng Zunzhe had long since cultivated every aspect to the extreme of his current stage. Although his life gene level was somewhat lower than the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu's Desolate God avatar, the might after full eruption was in no way inferior to the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu's.

The reason he had only obliterated twenty percent of Lu Qingshan's divine power even while countering Lu Qingshan's secret art was entirely because Lu Qingshan's current strength had already grown far stronger than when he had sparred with the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu back then!

At that time, Lu Qingshan had only created the fifth sword stance, so naturally it was very hard for him to withstand the Heavenly Tian Tian Shi Gong Zhu who had employed a cosmic overlord ultimate secret art. But now what he was employing was a cosmic overlord ultimate secret art on the same level as Zifeng Zunzhe's. Although due to the differences in life gene level and supreme treasure weapon the might was much weaker, it was still enough to weaken a portion of the power.

And while Lu Qingshan was sighing inwardly, the split divine bodies of the Endless Divine Sea avatar within the World Ring were also continuously channeling pure divine power of the same origin as him into his true body's interior, causing his true body's divine power to recover to a perfect state in the blink of an eye.

Within the World Ring.

Because Lu Qingshan had not blocked the perception of the two Solemn Zunzhes, they could still sense the battle outside through certain means.

And upon seeing Lu Qingshan withstand Zifeng Zunzhe's full-power strike, the hearts that the two of them had suspended were also slowly set at ease.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe's survival ability is truly too strong—I never expected he could even withstand Zifeng Zunzhe's attack!"

"Now it just depends on how large the avatar divine body Wan Jie Zunzhe carries with him is. As long as he can hold out until Qingluan Zunzhe arrives, we'll be safe!"

"That's right! Hopefully Wan Jie Zunzhe can hold out until Qingluan Zunzhe arrives!"

Even the Northern Frontier Alliance knew the news that Lu Qingshan carried a large-divine-body avatar with him, so the two Solemn Zunzhes naturally also knew of it. It was just that none of them knew exactly how large the avatar divine body Lu Qingshan carried was.

On the other side……

Zifeng Zunzhe, upon seeing that Lu Qingshan's divine power had once again recovered to a perfect state after withstanding his full-power strike, was not overly surprised, because he had also long known of the news that Lu Qingshan carried an avatar with a relatively large body.

However, this posed no great threat to him—it was merely a matter of attacking a few more times.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, I want to see exactly how large that avatar's divine body of yours is, and how many of my attacks it can withstand!"

The moment his words fell, Zifeng Zunzhe once again gripped his thunderbolt long spear and rushed rapidly toward the direction where Lu Qingshan was.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a time, Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe clashed madly in the surrounding void.

Although Lu Qingshan was being suppressed by Zifeng Zunzhe the entire time, with the Endless Divine Sea avatar's split divine bodies continuously providing divine power replenishment, it could not be considered too wretched.

Time was constantly passing, and the battle between Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe was also continuously ongoing.

And throughout this continuous battle, Zifeng Zunzhe's expression was also constantly changing.

After half a minute of fighting, Zifeng Zunzhe's expression was only slightly surprised: "That avatar divine body Wan Jie Zunzhe carries with him really is large enough. I've already attacked him over a thousand times consecutively—even if that avatar's life gene level reaches a hundred times the limit and the divine body is several dozen kilometers, by now it should be nearly exhausted, right?"

……

After three minutes of fighting, the expression on Zifeng Zunzhe's face became rather solemn: "It seems this Wan Jie Zunzhe must have nurtured a fairly massive avatar—perhaps it could be over a thousand kilometers. But the larger the divine body, the more treasures needed to elevate the life gene level. As long as that avatar's life gene level is somewhat lower, the divine body should be nearly exhausted by now!"

……

After ten minutes of fighting, Zifeng Zunzhe's expression had grown increasingly solemn: "What kind of divine body has this Wan Jie Zunzhe nurtured? Even a divine body of over ten thousand kilometers should have been exhausted by me by now!"

"Those wastes in the Alliance—they couldn't even get clear intelligence before handing this mission to me. My divine body has already lost over one percent, and I still haven't finished off this Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

"After I kill this Wan Jie Zunzhe this time, I must make the Alliance compensate me for my losses!"

One must know that Zifeng Zunzhe's life gene level reached five thousand times that of ordinary life in the cosmos, and his divine body was also over ten kilometers. Even just a one percent loss of divine power counted as a massive amount of divine power!

And at this moment, Lu Qingshan, sensing the decline in Zifeng Zunzhe's attack intensity, could not help but mock: "Zifeng Zunzhe, is that all you've got?"

"Wan Jie Zunzhe, you're seeking death!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's mockery, Zifeng Zunzhe simply stopped considering anything else and once again continuously pursued and attacked Lu Qingshan, causing Lu Qingshan's divine power to be continuously consumed.

After all, the stronger side held an absolute advantage in divine power annihilation!

If it truly came down to a fight to the end, his divine body of over ten kilometers being entirely expended could completely annihilate over a million kilometers of Lu Qingshan's divine body!

As the battle continued on, time also kept passing, and Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body was also being continuously consumed.

One percent, two percent, four percent, seven percent……

By the time Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body had been consumed by eight percent, a hint of retreat finally sprouted in his heart.

"Could that avatar's divine power of Wan Jie Zunzhe be truly infinite?"

After Zifeng Zunzhe once again sent Lu Qingshan flying with his long spear, he could not help but think inwardly: "If this continues, my divine body will be severely worn down, and recovering to a perfect state will become troublesome!"

Only, Zifeng Zunzhe was now also somewhat in a situation where he could neither advance nor retreat.

One must know that he was a renowned top-tier cosmic overlord—even among the Northern Frontier Alliance where experts gathered, his overall strength could rank in the top hundred, and many Lords of the Universe were willing to treat him as an equal.

If he were truly forced back by an ordinary life like Lu Qingshan now, where would his face be placed in the future?

But if the battle continued, if he could kill Wan Jie Zunzhe and obtain the treasures on him that would be fine, but if he could not kill Lu Qingshan, then his losses would be enormous!

And just at this moment……

Whoosh!

Not far away, a streak of cyan light was rapidly approaching the area where Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe were fighting.
