Chapter 333: The Northern Frontier Alliance Takes Root

Time continued to pass; in the blink of an eye, several hundred more years had gone by.

On Primitive Star number 06597.

At this moment, above a black swamp, an alien powerhouse ten kilometers tall, covered in snow-white fur, hunched over with a giant crimson vertical eye on his face, radiating endless bloodthirsty aura, was continuously attacking a figure clad in purple-gold battle armor.

The figure in purple-gold battle armor was naturally Lu Qingshan, now famous throughout the Primitive Universe, while the figure continuously attacking him was Tianhua Zunzhe of the Meng Yao Zu's Tianlang lineage, who had usurped a powerful special lifeform.

Tianhua Zunzhe had not cultivated for very long, even slightly less than Lu Qingshan, yet he had already created the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Dominators; furthermore, after usurping the special lifeform, his life-gene level reached two thousand times that of ordinary life in the universe, so he could now unleash power at the level of a top-tier Universe Dominator.

However, compared to other top-tier Universe Dominators with deep accumulation, the supreme treasures on Tianhua Zunzhe were still very ordinary, and he used only a high-grade supreme treasure weapon, so his threat to Lu Qingshan was naturally far inferior to that of the Poison Dragon Zunzhe from before.

Moreover, news that Lu Qingshan possessed an extremely vast Divine Body had already been known by many powerful beings in the universe, so under normal circumstances, few powerful beings were willing to contend with him.

The reason Tianhua Zunzhe was engaging Lu Qingshan now was entirely because a supreme treasure was slowly emerging within the swamp below.

At this moment, the supreme treasure had not yet fully emerged; to seize it, Tianhua Zunzhe and Lu Qingshan, who had both discovered it, naturally engaged in a fierce battle.

As for other powerful beings who had discovered the aura of this supreme treasure emerging, they dared not approach at all, hiding instead at a safe distance to watch the fight.

"I never expected to encounter Tianhua Zunzhe and Wan Jie Zunzhe fighting this time!"

"Tianhua Zunzhe is one thing, relying merely on usurping a special lifeform to possess the strength of a top-tier Universe Dominator, but Wan Jie Zunzhe is far more formidable!"

"Indeed! I heard Wan Jie Zunzhe successively forced back the Poison Dragon Zunzhe and the Shadow Palace Master of the Northern Frontier Alliance; now, the powerful beings of the Northern Frontier Alliance generally avoid Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

"As an ordinary lifeform in the universe, Wan Jie Zunzhe achieving this level is truly impressive!"

"Exactly! I wonder when I will be able to grow to the level of Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

"Stop dreaming! To possess the survival ability of Wan Jie Zunzhe, first you must own a precious supreme treasure for protection, and second, you must possess a Divine Body with a vast clone to constantly replenish your divine power; you don't even have a clone, so what are you talking about?"

Over this past period, most of Lu Qingshan's methods had already been figured out by the powerful beings roaming the Primitive Star.

However, this was also a very normal occurrence in the universe.

After all, powerful beings like Lu Qingshan were few and far between across the entire Primitive Universe, so being watched closely by numerous alien powerful beings was also a very normal thing.

"Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

Tianhua Zunzhe roared, his crimson vertical eye filled with madness: "You, a mere small Universe Dominator, dare contend with me for a supreme treasure?"

"Tianhua Zunzhe, what empty boasts you make!"

Lu Qingshan looked at Tianhua Zunzhe with utter disdain: "Your strength is far inferior to that of the Poison Dragon Zunzhe and the Shadow Palace Master; I advise you to get lost!"

Although Lu Qingshan was slightly inferior to Tianhua Zunzhe in attack potency, the latter's explosive power was also far weaker than the Poison Dragon Zunzhe's, and the damage he inflicted was far lower than that of the Poison Dragon Zunzhe from before.

In any case, he had ample reserves of divine power and could simply drag this out with Tianhua Zunzhe indefinitely.

Once the supreme treasure fully emerged, he could find a way to seize it!

Thus, time passed second by second.

Lu Qingshan and Tianhua Zunzhe continued to clash, while the supreme treasure slowly emerged.

During this process, more and more powerful beings were drawn by the emergence of the supreme treasure and the scene of Lu Qingshan and Tianhua Zunzhe fighting.

Yet, facing such terrifying powerful beings as Lu Qingshan and Tianhua Zunzhe, no one dared to approach.

Soon...

"The treasure has emerged!"

Seeing the treasure fully emerge, Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up; immediately, he flew toward the emerging supreme treasure.

However, Tianhua Zunzhe directly smashed out with a hammer, and that massive force blasted Lu Qingshan flying backward.

Nevertheless, under Lu Qingshan's influence, Tianhua Zunzhe found it difficult to seize the supreme treasure while taking advantage of the situation.

For a moment, even though the supreme treasure had emerged, Lu Qingshan and Tianhua Zunzhe continued to remain in a stalemate.

As time continued to pass, Tianhua Zunzhe's divine power was also continuously being consumed.

Although Lu Qingshan's divine power was also continuously being consumed, under the replenishment of his reserve divine power, it remained in perfect condition.

"Damn Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

After losing two percent of his divine power, Tianhua Zunzhe couldn't help but curse in his heart, then directly retreated.

This emerging treasure was merely an ordinary supreme treasure weapon, not worth wasting too much divine power to fight desperately for.

Moreover, even if he truly fought to the end, he might not be able to seize this supreme treasure from Lu Qingshan's hands.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Tianhua Zunzhe voluntarily retreat, Lu Qingshan quickly permeated a wisp of divine power into the newly emerged supreme treasure; after completing the soul-binding, he quickly stored it away: "Tianhua Zunzhe, it seems your strength is not as strong as you claimed!"

"Hmph!"

Tianhua Zunzhe immediately spoke coldly: "Wan Jie Zunzhe, you are merely relying on having a clone with a vast Divine Body!"

After saying this, Tianhua Zunzhe directly transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the distance.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan did not continue to block him; after all, Tianhua Zunzhe also possessed a supreme treasure of the flying palace type, and as long as the other party wanted to leave, Lu Qingshan simply could not stop him.

"An ordinary supreme treasure weapon, contributing it to the clan treasury would yield at least 1.5 supreme treasure points; that's not bad!"

After Tianhua Zunzhe departed, Lu Qingshan also flew toward the distance while investigating the information of the treasure he had just obtained.

"It's a pity that since forcing back the Shadow Palace Master, the powerful beings of the Northern Frontier Alliance encountered during this period have been becoming fewer and fewer!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Even many powerful beings of the Northern Frontier Alliance, as soon as they discover me, run far away, making it very difficult for me to make any kills!"

In recent years, Lu Qingshan had only killed two high-grade Universe Zunzhe of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and that was only because the opponents were entangled by powerful beings within the Hong Alliance.

Fortunately, while roaming the Primitive Star, he had also encountered scenes of treasures emerging, so he had gained some other rewards.

But all in all, over these past several hundred years, he had obtained a total wealth of less than three supreme treasure points, and that included the supreme treasure he had just acquired.

Virtual Universe, one of its plane spaces; here, endless darkness filled the area, with only a region containing scattered starlight.

Amidst this scattered starlight floated a simple yet towering divine temple.

At the very moment Lu Qingshan forced back Tianhua Zunzhe and seized the treasure on the Primitive Star, the Great Axe Founder and numerous Universe Masters of the Human Clan gathered here once again.

"Everyone has arrived!"

After all the Universe Masters of the human race had arrived, the Great Axe Founder soon spoke: "I have summoned everyone here today mainly because of the Northern Border Alliance!"

"The Northern Border Alliance?"

"Could it be that they can no longer hold on?"

"Great Axe, does that mean the Northern Border True God intends to abandon the Northern Border Alliance?"

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the Great Axe Founder shook his head slightly and said: "From today on, the Northern Border Alliance will become the ninth supreme power in the Primordial Universe, and our human race must no longer deliberately target the Northern Border Alliance; we need only interact with them as we do with other supreme powers!"

"What?"

"Great Axe, why is this?"

"Indeed! Although some powerful figures within the Hong Alliance have perished at the hands of the Northern Border Alliance's strong ones over the years, the number of our own powerful figures killed by the Northern Border Alliance is even greater!"

"Besides our Hong Alliance, the other five supreme powers have also killed quite a few of the Northern Border Alliance's strong ones. If we just exert a bit more effort, the Northern Border Alliance might collapse!"

In an instant, the Universe Masters of the human race all spoke up; none of them understood why the Great Axe Founder would make such a decision.

"Everyone need not be puzzled!"

The Great Axe Founder soon explained: "This decision was reached through joint deliberation by myself, the Insect Race Empress, the Meng Yao Zu's Meng Yao Zu, the Mechanical Race Father God, the Crystal Race Holy Lord, and the Prison Race Demon Ancestor!"

"The reason we made this decision is that Northern Border True God!"

"Northern Border True God?"

"Could it be that the Northern Border True God truly intends to defend the Northern Border Alliance to the death?" "That seems impossible; otherwise, for what purpose would he do so?"

"Indeed! In recent years, the Northern Border Alliance has probably already lost nearly a thousand Universe Dominators. With so many powerful figures requiring the Northern Border True God to resurrect them, would he not grow weary?"

"Everyone need not speculate further!"

The Great Axe Founder soon spoke again: "Not long ago, the Northern Border True God approached us several of us to discuss a peaceful resolution to the Northern Border Alliance issue!"

"The Northern Border True God wanted us six powers to cease targeting the Northern Border Alliance. Naturally, we six were unwilling to agree, but we did not expect the Northern Border True God to actively invite us to fight in the Sea of the Universe!"

"Although we several did not know what confidence the Northern Border True God possessed, we still accepted the invitation and engaged him in a great battle within the Sea of the Universe!"

"But what none of us expected was that the Northern Border True God had obtained a domain-type supreme treasure named 'Qiqu Starlight Lake,' whose power was vast and unstoppable."

"Protected by that domain-type supreme treasure, even with the six of us joining forces, we were fundamentally unable to threaten the Northern Border True God!"

Upon hearing the Great Axe Founder's words, all the Universe Masters of the human race were startled in their hearts.

"A supreme treasure?"

"How is this possible?"

"How did the Northern Border True God obtain a supreme treasure?"

It must be known that supreme treasures are extremely precious; even the strongest beings in the universe can only encounter them by chance, never seek them out.

Even among the eight supreme powers of the Primordial Universe, some do not possess a supreme treasure.

The human race actually once possessed a supreme treasure, but back then it was suppressed by the Primordial Universe's Original Will along with the Original Ancestor.

"Then I do not know!"

The Great Axe Founder soon said: "However, since the Northern Border True God possesses a domain-type supreme treasure, he is an extremely formidable existence even within the Sea of the Universe!"

"Now that the opponent is determined to defend the Northern Border Alliance, we are fundamentally unable to completely break relations with him!"

"Therefore, under the Northern Border True God's proposal, the Northern Border Alliance has decided to compensate each of our six powers with one peak supreme treasure weapon, thereby gaining our six powers' recognition!"

"In addition, the Northern Border True God has promised that in the future, if anyone wishes to establish a new supreme power, the Northern Border Alliance will advance and retreat together with our six powers!"

As soon as the Great Axe Founder finished speaking, the Universe Masters of the human race began to murmur among themselves.

"I never expected this conflict to end in such a result!" the Master of Qingdong from the Universe's First Bank quickly sighed.

"Who would say otherwise!"

The Master of Long Xing from the Virtual Universe Company soon spoke: "The Northern Border True God has exerted so much effort for the Northern Border Alliance. Do you think his domain-type supreme treasure was obtained through the Northern Border Alliance?"

"I do not think that is likely!"

The Master of Peng Gong from the Universe Star River Bank soon said: "How precious are supreme treasures? If other members of the Northern Border Alliance had obtained one, they would absolutely hide it carefully; how could they possibly hand it over to the Northern Border True God?"

"Hmph!"

The Master of Lord Huang Jian from the Universe Mercenary Alliance soon snorted coldly: "The Northern Border Alliance truly has good luck! One peak supreme treasure weapon has dismissed us six supreme powers. In my opinion, we should have demanded a supreme treasure of the peak domain type!"

In truth, the Northern Border Alliance's willingness to provide one peak supreme treasure weapon to each of the six powers was merely to give the six supreme powers a way to save face.

After all, although the Great Axe Founder and others could not overcome the Northern Border True God, the Northern Border True God could not overcome the Great Axe Founder and others either.

Moreover, if the six supreme powers joined forces, they could completely dominate at the levels of Universe Master and Universe Venerable. If they truly fought to the end, the Northern Border Alliance would certainly continue to suffer losses.

Now that the Great Axe Founder and others gave the Northern Border True God some face, the Northern Border Alliance also gave the six supreme powers a way to save face; thus, both sides could claim to have some dignity.

Therefore, the peak supreme treasure weapons compensated by the Northern Border Alliance were more symbolic in nature.

However, if it were six treasures of the peak domain type, it would absolutely be a devastating blow to the Northern Border Alliance; perhaps it would be better to continue fighting!

"Enough!"

The Great Axe Founder's low voice rang directly in everyone's ears: "This matter is settled!"

"Next, we will directly convene the Supreme Council. Hun Dun, at that time, you shall announce this decision!"

"No problem!" Hun Dun Chengzhu, standing nearby, quickly nodded and said.

On the other side, Lu Qingshan was planning to continue searching for strong ones of the Northern Border Alliance on the Primordial Star, when he suddenly received news that the race's Supreme Council was about to convene.

Although puzzled in his heart, Lu Qingshan quickly hastened to the place where the human race's Supreme Council was to be held.

Virtual Universe, Shenshan, the Hall of Ten Thousand Gods!

"Wan Jie!"

"Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

When Lu Qingshan's figure appeared here, the other Venerables of the human race warmly greeted him.

After all, Lu Qingshan's comprehensive strength within the human race is now considered the first among those below the top-tier Universe Dominators.

Lu Qingshan smiled and greeted everyone one by one, then walked over to the few Universe Hegemons.

"Guiyi!"

Lu Qingshan's gaze quickly fell upon Hun Dun Chengzhu's second disciple, Zifeng Zunzhe: "Your information is always well-informed. Do you know what this Supreme Council meeting has been convened for specifically?"

"I'm not too clear on the specific contents of the meeting either!"

Zifeng Zunzhe quickly shook his head and said: "But it should be related to the newly established Northern Border Alliance!"

"Related to the Northern Border Alliance?"

After hearing Zifeng Zunzhe's words, the many Universe Venerables around all showed looks of puzzlement on their faces.

"Everyone!"

After a short while, Hun Dun Chengzhu's grand voice rang out directly in everyone's ears: "This Supreme Council meeting has been convened mainly because of the establishment of the Northern Border Alliance!"

"Over this past period, many of you have slain strong practitioners of the Northern Border Alliance, making great contributions to our human race!"

"But starting from today, the mission to slay Universe Venerables of the Northern Border Alliance is hereby cancelled, and our human race will also recognize the Northern Border Alliance as the ninth super power of the Primordial Universe!"

"From today onward, when you encounter strong practitioners of the Northern Border Alliance, you only need to treat them as you would strong practitioners of any other power!"

The moment Hun Dun Chengzhu's words fell, the many Universe Venerables below immediately burst into an uproar.

"This is…"

"The rewards for slaying Northern Border Alliance strong practitioners are gone from now on?"

"Heavens! I just rented a treasure from the race's treasury, and now the benefits are being cancelled?"

The many Universe Venerables all wore thick puzzlement on their faces, but Lu Qingshan had long anticipated this in his heart.

After all, in the original work the Northern Border Alliance was one of the nine super powers of the Primordial Universe; there was no reason it couldn't hold its footing now.

"I wonder what price the Northern Border Alliance paid this time!"

Lu Qingshan could not help but secretly guess in his heart: "But this isn't a good thing for me either!"

"After all, once the Northern Border Alliance is recognized, I won't be able to keep wantonly slaying its strong practitioners in the future!"

"Fortunately, the ones I slew before already brought me quite a few gains, and now the strong practitioners of the Northern Border Alliance all actively avoid me upon seeing me, so it's not exactly unacceptable!"

"Everyone!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Hun Dun Chengzhu's voice rang out once more: "Going forward, everyone's main focus should still be placed on the Primordial Star!"

"The Primordial Star has not been open for too long now. In the days ahead, many precious treasures will still emerge. I hope everyone can obtain even greater gains during this upcoming period!"

After that, Hun Dun Chengzhu gave a few more instructions, and the Supreme Council meeting came to an end once more.
