Chapter 340: Great Vengeance Achieved
"Kill!"
Under the shroud of the Extreme Universe Grand Void Disk domain, Lu Qingshan once again wielded the Lone Swan Shadow Sword and charged at Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, who was secretly plotting in his heart.
By now he had already gained the upper hand in the fight, so naturally he had to press the advantage.
Although Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's aura had not noticeably declined under his attacks, Lu Qingshan, with his vast reserves of divine power, was not the least bit flustered.
After all, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe merely maintaining his own strength required burning divine power every moment.
Like in the original work, Luo Feng, who had just broken through to the Decay Realm not long ago and whose strength barely reached the level of a high-tier Zifeng Zunzhe, could rely on his vast divine power reserves and astonishing defense to wear down a universe overlord; needless to say, this was even more true for Lu Qingshan, who could now crush Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe in every aspect.
"Damn Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"
Seeing Lu Qingshan charge at him again, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe simultaneously unleashed his strongest ultimate technique to defend while rushing toward the high-tier supreme treasure located in the central area of the plaza.
But unfortunately, Lu Qingshan, protected by numerous precious treasures, could completely crush him in both attack power and movement technique. So even though Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe fought desperately, he could not get within a hair's breadth of that high-tier supreme treasure; even when he tried to use a domain-type supreme treasure to collect it, Lu Qingshan blocked him with the Extreme Universe Grand Void Disk.
And so, time kept slipping by.
In less than half a minute, Lu Qingshan had already struck Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe over a hundred times.
Although each attack under Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's counter could not inflict too much damage, after a hundred attacks, combined with the drain from Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's own burning of divine power, it had cost him four percent of his divine body.
"No good!"
Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe continued to stubbornly endure Lu Qingshan's attacks while secretly thinking in his heart: "That bastard Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength is simply too great. Relying on myself alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this supreme treasure from him!"
Thinking of this, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe immediately sent a voice transmission to Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe, who was hiding not far away watching the tigers fight: "Ci Hou, this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength is far greater than ours. Relying on yourself alone, you absolutely have no way to obtain the treasure of this level!"
"How about we join forces to seize the treasure? As for the gains, we can split them evenly!"
"This…"
After hearing Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's voice transmission, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe did indeed feel a slight stirring of interest.
One must know that during this opening of the Primitive Star, he had only obtained wealth equivalent to a few ordinary supreme treasures in total.
A single high-tier supreme treasure was already enough to make him fight desperately once.
"It's just that…"
Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe quickly looked at Lu Qingshan, who was currently trampling Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe: "This Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's strength is simply too great. Moreover, after fighting Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe for so long, his divine power aura has not declined at all. It seems he still carries that avatar with the super-giant divine body on him!"
"Although I, like Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, have a high-tier supreme treasure armor protecting me, I don't have as massive a divine body as Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, nor do I have a palace-type supreme treasure for protection!"
"Once I truly anger this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe by fighting for the treasure and he makes me his primary target, even if I wanted to escape within this Green Light Hall, I wouldn't be able to!"
"When it's time to let go, one still has to let go. It seems the supreme treasure of this level is not fated to be mine!"
After countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe quickly sent a voice transmission to Lu Qingshan: "Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe, I have no intention of meddling in the grudge between you and Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, nor do I wish to compete for the treasure of this level, and I will not block you from entering the next spatial layer. Can the two of us coexist peacefully?"
"Hmm?"
Lu Qingshan, who was continuously attacking Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, was quite surprised upon hearing Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe's voice transmission.
One must know that after entering this level, he had actually already prepared himself to be jointly attacked by Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe and Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe, after all, such things were quite common in the universe.
Yet he felt no worry in his heart at all, and was rather looking forward to it, because he was also very interested in the treasures on Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe.
But now that Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe had already voluntarily backed down, naturally it wouldn't do for him to press the issue further.
After all, no matter what, the other party was still a powerhouse of the pinnacle race, the Prison Race, and he simply could not kill the other party completely.
"No problem!"
Lu Qingshan immediately sent a voice transmission to Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe: "Since you, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe, are unwilling to be my enemy, naturally I will not make a move against you!"
After hearing Lu Qingshan's voice transmission, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe immediately set his mind at ease, and then retreated even farther from the area where Lu Qingshan and Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe were fighting.
"Damn Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe!"
Seeing Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe voluntarily retreat, how could Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe not know what the other was thinking.
But right now he was being continuously attacked by Lu Qingshan and had absolutely no way to deal with it, so he could only continue sending a voice transmission to Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe: "Ci Hou, do you think this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe will let you off?"
Unfortunately, after hearing his voice transmission, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe still paid him no heed.
"Sigh!"
Looking at Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe, who completely ignored him, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe could not help but sigh in his heart: "Had I known it would be like this, it would have been better to have given up the chance to enter this level to that Nu Yu Zifeng Zunzhe of the Crystal Race earlier!"
"Fortunately, I also killed Hui Li Zifeng Zunzhe this time, so this trip can hardly be called a complete loss!"
"Since this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe wants to keep fighting, then none of us will enter the next level!"
Thinking of this…
"Void Tower!"
Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe waved his hand, and a jet-black treasure tower instantly appeared behind him.
This treasure tower had seven levels in total, with extremely complex secret patterns inscribed on its body. The moment it appeared, it rapidly grew larger, then charged straight toward Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe.
And Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, taking advantage of the recoil from taking Lu Qingshan's full-force strike head-on, directly accelerated and charged into this seven-level treasure tower.
After fleeing into the flying palace-type supreme treasure 'Void Tower', Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If not for this Void Tower, I might have fallen this time!"
Inside the Void Tower, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe gazed at Lu Qingshan outside from afar: "This human race's Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe is growing far too fast. Before, he had no power to fight back against me, yet now he has actually created a universe overlord-level ultimate technique, and even obtained a top-tier supreme treasure weapon. It's truly inconceivable!"
"Flying palace-type supreme treasure?"
Lu Qingshan looked ahead at Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe hiding inside the Void Tower, and a hint of reminiscence could not help but appear on his face.
How similar was the current situation to when he had originally encountered Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe?
Back then, Lu Qingshan, Tian Feng Zifeng Zunzhe, and Lord Lord Tiequan Zifeng Zunzhe had hidden inside the God-Slaying Hall that Lord Lord Tiequan Zifeng Zunzhe had borrowed from Tu Shen Zifeng Zunzhe, but Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe had taken out this Void Tower to suppress them hiding inside the God-Slaying Hall.
But now, the situations of the two sides had been reversed!
"Hahaha, damn Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"
Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's voice rang out from within the black treasure tower: "I admit, your strength is indeed a bit greater than mine, but you are merely relying on that top-tier supreme treasure weapon!"
"If not for this Void Tower, I would have likely fallen into your hands this time, but now what can you do to me?"
"And with me here, don't even think about entering the next level of this Green Light Hall, unless you hand over the supreme treasure of this level, as well as all the many treasures you obtained earlier, to me. Then I might change my mind!"
Although hiding inside a flying palace-level ultimate treasure made it impossible to launch attacks, simply disrupting Lu Qingshan's entry into the spatial passage to the next level was still easy.
"What can you do to me?"
After hearing Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sneer, then said: "Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, do you really think hiding inside a palace-level ultimate treasure makes you absolutely safe?"
"Have you forgotten how you targeted me inside the God-Slaying Temple?"
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan's hand appeared with a three-tiered treasure tower emitting purple light.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Lu Qingshan pull out a palace-level ultimate treasure, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe burst into laughter: "Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe, you don't actually think having one palace-level ultimate treasure lets you suppress me, do you?"
"Let me tell you, my Void Tower was exchanged from my Meng Yao Zu's treasure vault at an enormous cost—do you really think you can suppress me?"
"We'll see if your Void Tower is as powerful as you claim!"
Lu Qingshan sneered, then poured his burned divine power into the Chaos Return Void Tower.
The Chaos Return Void Tower, radiating endless purple light, instantly swelled to a diameter of over one hundred thousand kilometers, then flew directly above Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's Void Tower.
Immediately, an invisible suction force acted upon Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's Void Tower, beginning a furious absorption.
Boom—
The immensely powerful suction force instantly made Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's Void Tower tremble precariously.
Inside the Void Tower.
"This… this is impossible!"
Feeling his Void Tower destabilize under the absorption of Lu Qingshan's palace-level ultimate treasure, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's face instantly filled with disbelief.
"My Void Tower was exchanged from my clan's treasure vault at an astonishing cost—it's already among the finest in palace-level ultimate treasures!"
"To suppress a Void Tower so easily requires at least a high-grade palace-level ultimate treasure! The Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe might possess a top-grade ultimate weapon, but how could he possibly own a high-grade palace-level ultimate treasure?" After all, high-grade palace-level ultimate treasures were far more precious than top-grade ultimate weapons—even many Cosmic Masters struggled to obtain one.
And now Lu Qingshan was merely a Cosmic Venerable—yet he possessed such an astonishing ultimate treasure, leaving Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe deeply shaken.
"This is a serious problem!"
Feeling the terrifying suction force of the Chaos Return Void Tower intensify, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe sensed impending doom.
Boom!
Just before the Void Tower was fully suppressed by the Chaos Return Void Tower, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe finally abandoned the Void Tower.
He waved his hand, completely retracting the Void Tower, then burned divine power and fled into the distance.
The world within the Green Light Palace was boundless—if he could put enough distance between himself and Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan would struggle to deal with him.
"Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe!"
Lu Qingshan, still in a state of burning divine power, instantly activated his movement technique and chased after him: "Now you want to run? Isn't that a bit too late?"
Although Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe possessed a domain-level ultimate treasure, Lu Qingshan possessed the Extreme Void Tai Xu Disc.
Combined with the Floating Light Swift Boots, Lu Qingshan's burst speed far surpassed Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's.
Thus, after being caught by Lu Qingshan, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe was forced to continue fighting him.
Meanwhile, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe, watching from the sidelines, was deeply shocked to see Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, who had hidden inside a palace-level ultimate treasure, still forced out by Lu Qingshan.
"Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's Void Tower is already among the most valuable palace-level ultimate treasures—could the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's palace-level ultimate treasure have reached the high-grade tier?"
Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe felt immense relief: "Good thing I didn't choose to ally with Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe—otherwise I'd be in deep trouble now!"
"Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's attack power, divine power reserves, and array of ultimate treasures all pale beside the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's—he's finished this time!"
"No, I must retreat farther away—lest the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe turn on me next!"
Thinking this, Ci Hou Zifeng Zunzhe immediately fled furiously in the opposite direction from where Lu Qingshan and Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe were fighting.
On the other side, the battle between Lu Qingshan and Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe continued unabated.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes…
This was an extremely frenzied battle—more accurately, Lu Qingshan was relentlessly attacking Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe!
In each exchange, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's divine power steadily weakened.
As for Lu Qingshan, whose divine body was clearly smaller, he maintained a perfect state thanks to his reserve divine power supply.
"Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe, you're forcing me!"
Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe now realized the severity of the situation and became utterly frenzied.
"I am forcing you!"
Facing the completely berserk Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, Lu Qingshan remained unmoved, continuing his furious assaults: "Suo Jin, prepare to perish!"
Even though Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body stretched over ten kilometers, each strike from Lu Qingshan inflicted minimal damage, yet over time, his divine body continued to erode.
Ninety percent, eighty percent, seventy percent…
As his divine body dwindled, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's strength plummeted—and as his strength fell, his divine body depleted even faster.
"Damn Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"
When Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body dropped to only forty percent, he once again retreated into his palace-level ultimate treasure, the Void Tower.
"I can only hide inside the Void Tower for now!"
Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe, unwilling to abandon his precious ultimate treasures, thought inwardly: "Even if this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe suppresses me, he cannot kill me while I'm inside a palace-level ultimate treasure in the short term!"
"As long as this Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe leaves the Green Light Palace, my clan's elders will have the chance to kill him and seize his treasures—then I'll be saved!"
On the other side, Lu Qingshan immediately understood Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe's plan upon seeing him retreat again into his palace-level ultimate treasure.
This was the weakness of suppression-type ultimate treasures!
Once a suppression-type ultimate treasure suppresses an enemy hiding in a palace-level ultimate treasure, it usually cannot kill them directly—only transport them to dangerous places.
During that time, if a powerful ally arrives to rescue them, there's a chance they can be saved.
But Lu Qingshan wasn't overly concerned—after all, Suo Jin Zifeng Zunzhe had the Meng Yao Zu Alliance behind him, and Lu Qingshan had the Human Clan and the Hong Alliance behind him.
If a Meng Yao Zu Cosmic Master attacked him, Human Clan Cosmic Masters would surely intervene.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly exerted his full strength to activate his Hun Dun Gui Xu Tower, then directly suppressed the Void Tower in which Jin Zhi was traveling.
After being suppressed by Lu Qingshan, although Jin Zhi's heart panicked, the divine power avatar he had left within his clan acted quickly.
Meng Yao Zu territory, Meng Zu Secret Realm.
The avatar Jin Zhi left within the clan relied on a servant's Divine Kingdom teleportation to arrive at Meng Zu Secret Realm, then connected his consciousness to the Virtual World.
As a peak race, although the Meng Yao Zu's technological means were the worst among the four peak races, they did possess a Virtual World.
However, the scope covered by this Virtual World was very small, basically the size of a single Secret Realm, so for Jin Zhi to contact the clan's high leadership, he had to come to this Meng Zu Secret Realm.
Within the Meng Yao Zu Virtual World, amidst a vast expanse of clouds and mist, towering white palaces rose and fell continuously, where many Universe Masters of the Meng Yao Zu resided.
Inside one of these palaces, Jin Zhi's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, then respectfully shouted forward: "Teacher!"
Jin Zhi's teacher was the leader of the Kong Jin Hou lineage, and also the only Universe Master of the Kong Jin Hou lineage, the Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu!
"Hmm?"
Seeing Jin Zhi, Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu asked with confusion: "Jin Zhi, why have you come to my place?"
"Teacher, it is like this!"
Jin Zhi hurriedly said: "Disciple previously luckily obtained the token of the Qing Guang Hall, so when the Qing Guang Hall opened, I entered it to venture forth!"
"However, inside that Qing Guang Hall, Disciple encountered Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe of the Human Race; the opponent possessed a palace-class supreme treasure with extremely astonishing power, and the Void Tower I was riding was easily suppressed by him!"
"Hmm?"
After hearing Jin Zhi's words, Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu asked with great surprise: "Are you saying the supreme treasure in Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's hand can suppress your Void Tower?"
Regarding the fact that Jin Zhi obtained the Qing Guang Hall token but did not hand it over to the clan, Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu did not care too much.
After all, everyone has their own thoughts; Jin Zhi had a palace-class supreme treasure protecting him, so his ability to preserve his life was naturally very good, and venturing into that Qing Guang Hall was quite normal.
What he cared about more now was the supreme treasure held in Lu Qingshan's hand.
"Yes!"
Jin Zhi nodded quickly and said: "Disciple suspects that is a high-grade palace-class supreme treasure, and moreover, that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe possesses at least one top-grade supreme treasure weapon!"
After saying this, Jin Zhi quickly waved his hand to simulate the battle scene between him and Lu Qingshan.
"High-grade palace-class supreme treasure? Top-grade supreme treasure weapon? The Human Race truly spoils that Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe!"
Having watched the video, Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu thought silently in his heart: "With so many supreme treasures, it is worth my making a move!"
Actually, according to the unwritten rules of the universe, Universe Masters generally cannot act against Universe Zifeng Zunzhe at will.
Just like the super-strong Hun Dun Chengzhu, if he acted against other alien race Universe Zifeng Zunzhe during the opening of the Primitive Star, he would likely accumulate tens of thousands of supreme treasure points, or even more wealth, within a single day.
But if Hun Dun Chengzhu did this, the Mie Xu Jin Zhi Zhu of the Meng Yao Zu, the Hei Lian Zhi Zhu of the Bei Jiang Alliance, and others could do the same!
But this time is different!
First, with the opening of the Qing Guang Hall, there were certainly some Universe Masters waiting outside; anyone who obtained a supreme treasure from within the Qing Guang Hall must possess the ability to escape smoothly from many powerful figures to successfully take the treasure away;
Second, Lu Qingshan suppressed Jin Zhi, which counts as a very good reason for him, the teacher, to make a move!
"However, Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's teacher is Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu; if he ventures into that Qing Guang Hall this time, Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu might be outside to receive him!"
Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu thought silently in his heart: "That fellow Lord Lord Bingfeng's strength is still somewhat stronger than mine, and he is protected by many precious treasures; with my strength, dealing with him would be very difficult, so it would be best to invite another Universe Master!"
Although Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu's strength was quite good, he had only just crossed into the Third Stage, whereas Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu had long since crossed into the Fourth Stage level; naturally, he could not be Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu's match.
Thinking of this, Kong Xu Jin Zhi Zhu quickly went to the other Universe Masters of the Meng Yao Zu.
