Chapter 367: Winds and Waves

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan executed his movement technique, continuously breaking through layer upon layer of black seawater as he flew toward the nearest vortex passage.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan's speed continually soaring, Marquis Meixin's majestic voice exploded beside his ears: "With me here, you simply cannot escape—better just surrender obediently!"

Boom!

The instant Marquis Meixin finished speaking, the might of the black seawater around Lu Qingshan surged violently, and the binding force was simply terrifying.

Even a cosmic overlord wearing a high-grade supreme treasure armor who fell into it would probably be annihilated in an instant.

Droplets of water, each like a neutron star, gathered together and slammed toward Lu Qingshan like waves, trying to obstruct his speed.

Though called black seawater, it was actually an enormous domain formed by extremely dense special energy—only in form did it look like seawater.

Domain-type supreme treasures are like this: outwardly they may appear as starlight, desert, river, or seawater, but their essence is the same—all are domains formed by the gathering of special energy.

"The might of a top-grade domain-type supreme treasure really is fearsome!"

Feeling the might of the surrounding black seawater, Lu Qingshan could not help sighing inwardly: "If my God-Slaying Formation Diagram could gather all its components, its might might well surpass Marquis Meixin's Black Sea Domain!"

At this moment Lu Qingshan was still continuously breaking through the black seawater as he flew, and had not deployed his own domain-type supreme treasure, the 'Extreme Void Disk of Vast Time'.

After all, for domain-type supreme treasures, those of the same tier might still be able to contend with each other, differing only slightly in might;

but if they are of different tiers—for instance, a high-grade domain-type supreme treasure facing an ordinary one—it can simply crush it outright.

And for a Lord of the Universe, deploying an ordinary domain-type supreme treasure is not even as powerful as his own control over a region of spacetime, and its effect on same-tier powerhouses is negligible;

once a high-grade domain-type supreme treasure fully displays its might, it can indeed surpass the might of controlling a region of spacetime, and is of some use to a Lord of the Universe, but it still cannot impose much binding on same-tier powerhouses.

Only a top-grade domain-type supreme treasure!

A powerful Lord of the Universe, relying on just one top-grade domain-type supreme treasure, is enough to completely suppress same-tier powerhouses!

It's just that top-grade domain-type supreme treasures are truly too precious—even far more precious than many peak supreme treasure weapons.

In the human race's treasure vault, even a domain-type supreme treasure of relatively poor might costs two thousand treasure-points to exchange!

"Good thing I'm very close to that vortex passage now!"

Lu Qingshan, still breaking through the surrounding Black Sea Domain as he flew, thought to himself: "Among the Meng Yao Zu's three factions, the one closest to me is the Zusanfang Sect's Lord Minglian—even with the Black Sea Domain blocking me, she can't possibly intercept me before I enter that vortex passage!"

Lu Qingshan had brought along a vast reserve of divine power this time; in a one-on-one situation, even if he ran into Marquis Meixin and Lord Qingtian, both of whom had fourth-tier strength, he would still dare to have a go at them.

But now the Meng Yao Zu, the Zusanfang Sect, and the Machine Race had each dispatched a Lord of the Universe—five in total—to surround and attack him, so naturally he had to escape as quickly as possible.

After all, even if the enemy couldn't directly kill Lu Qingshan, they still had the ability to suppress him the way the various factions in the original work suppressed Lord Yuan'ao.

Although he had a clone and didn't need to worry about suppression, he was currently carrying over ninety percent of his wealth on him—once suppressed, he'd have to slowly accumulate wealth again over a long stretch of time.

Fortunately, the Primitive Star alone has 10,081 vortex passages, and the position at which he emerged from the God-Slaying Hall was also random.

Coupled with the Primitive Star's special environment, even a Lord of the Universe could at most only maintain sub-light-speed flight.

So even though the Meng Yao Zu, the Zusanfang Sect, and the Machine Race had dispatched five Lords of the Universe, at most they could only be scattered near five vortex passages; therefore, as long as he wasn't surrounded the moment he emerged, there was still a very good chance of escape.

Just like in the original work, when Luo Feng disguised himself as the Blood Cloud Hall Master, after appearing on the Primitive Star he was also chased and intercepted by Lords of the Universe dispatched by numerous factions in the universe, which was how he ran into the Northern Frontier Alliance's Lord Xinghe.

And compared to the team that hunted the Blood Cloud Hall Master in the original work, the five Lords of the Universe dispatched by the Meng Yao Zu, the Zusanfang Sect, and the Machine Race now were simply not worth mentioning.

"Not good!"

"That Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds still has such speed even under the suppression of the Black Sea Domain—even Lord Minglian, who's closest to him, probably can't intercept him!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan still maintained extreme speed, the Lords of the Universe from the Meng Yao Zu, the Zusanfang Sect, and the Machine Race also grew somewhat anxious.

"Marquis Meixin!"

One Lord of the Universe directly said to Marquis Meixin, who was deploying the Black Sea Domain: "Can your Black Sea Domain impose even greater binding on that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds?"

"I'm already going all out!"

Marquis Meixin immediately replied: "That Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds can still maintain such speed under my Black Sea Domain's influence—I suspect he has at least a high-grade auxiliary flight-type supreme treasure!"

"What about you, Lord Minglian?"

Another Lord of the Universe transmitted to Lord Minglian: "If you go all out, can you intercept the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds?"

"I can't intercept him!"

Lord Minglian immediately responded: "Although I'm the closest to that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, he's even closer to that vortex passage—without other powerhouses blocking him, I simply can't cut him off before he enters the vortex passage!"

"Then what do we do? Our three factions dispatched so many powerhouses to surround and kill that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds—can we not even manage to intercept him?"

Just then…

"No need to worry, everyone!"

The Machine Race's Lord Qingtian immediately transmitted to his many companions: "Our Machine Race's 'Lord Huicang' is about to arrive at the vortex passage between Primitive Star No. 08647 and this Primitive Star—that vortex passage is also very close to that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, and with the Black Sea Domain blocking him, Lord Huicang will definitely be able to intercept him!"

"Excellent!"

"Lord Huicang's strength is still very considerable—with him blocking, that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds definitely can't escape!"

"Looks like that Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds is done for!"

Hearing Lord Qingtian's words, the Lords of the Universe from the Meng Yao Zu, the Zusanfang Sect, and the Machine Race grew excited one after another.

A Lord of the Universe was about to fall at their hands—even if it was only a clone, that was enough to excite them.

What's more, the many treasures left behind after Lu Qingshan's fall might not amount to much for Lord Qingtian and Marquis Meixin, but for the other Lords of the Universe they were still a considerable fortune.

On the other side, Lu Qingshan was rapidly flying toward the nearest vortex passage.

But suddenly…

From another vortex passage not far away, a towering figure suddenly strode out.

This figure was roughly a thousand kilometers tall, wearing an ancient armor mottled with black and blue, his face flashing with a cold metallic sheen, and at his Marquis Meixin there was even a cracked vertical eye.

The moment this figure appeared on this Primitive Star, he immediately moved to intercept Lu Qingshan, roaring loudly: "Damned Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, you can't escape!"

Seeing this towering figure appear, Lu Qingshan was slightly startled: "The Machine Race's Lord Huicang?"

In truth, Lord Huicang's strength was about the same as Snow Sky Palace Lord, whom he had previously worn down to death—just with somewhat stronger survival ability, that's all.

If he encountered the Lord of Hui Cang alone, Lu Qingshan believed that after a fierce battle, the first to retreat would certainly be the Lord of Hui Cang.

But the situation is different now!

The Lord of Hui Cang is very close to his inevitable path; under the suppression of the Black Sea Realm, he would likely be unable to reach the nearest vortex passage before being intercepted.

But if he headed for any other vortex passage, the chance of being blocked by the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Clan, and the Mechanical Clan's elites would be far greater.

"Under these circumstances, I doubt I can escape on my own!"

Lu Qingshan thought inwardly: "Very well — to protect these supreme treasures on my person, I must seek help from the elites of my human race!"

Yes!

Before emerging from the God-Slaughtering Hall, Lu Qingshan had not sought aid from the human race's elites, because he believed that in the unique environment of the Primitive Star, even if four or five Cosmic Lords attacked him, he could easily escape.

But he never expected that the Meng Yao Tribe, the Insect Clan, and the Mechanical Clan had sent six Cosmic Lords to deal with him — including powerful ones like the Lord of Pillar-Supporting Heaven and the Thorny Vine Lord!

In the past, when a human race Cosmic Lord broke through — such as when the Qing Luan Zhi Zhu achieved breakthrough — the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Clan, and the Mechanical Clan would send at most three Cosmic Lords to besiege him.

This unusual situation arose not because Lu Qingshan's threat level rivals that of Luo Feng from the original story, but because he broke through immediately after Qing Luan Zhi Zhu!

The human race producing two Cosmic Lords within just a few million years has indeed placed considerable pressure on the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Clan, and the Mechanical Clan.

Yet Lu Qingshan was not overly alarmed.

After all, the environment of the Primitive Star is unique — even if a Cosmic Lord unleashed his full power, his maximum speed would be only sub-light.

Outside the Primitive Star, however, the human race's elites could reach this Primitive Star at incredible speed via Divine Realm teleportation and instantaneous movement.

Even if the human race's elites could not reach him in time, as long as one top-tier domain artifact could oppose the Cui Shen Zhi Zhu's Black Sea Realm, his escape from this Primitive Star would become far smoother.
