Chapter 424: Lord of the Sea Mist — Labyrinth — Treasure Hunt

Facing the arrogant and greedy Lord Tianlang, Lu Qingshan, though now possessing the strength to suppress him, chose not to act immediately.

Because he knew well that in this unique environment of the Primitive Star, Lord Tianlang was hiding before a vortex passage, and even a fifth-rank Cosmic Lord or the strongest being in the universe could not possibly hold him back.

If he struck first, his many techniques would be exposed, especially the Chaos Suppressing Demon Tower, which he had never used since acquiring it.

Once these techniques were revealed, Lord Tianlang would avoid Lu Qingshan entirely in the future, making it far more difficult for him to deal with Lord Tianlang later.

To deal with Lord Tianlang, he would need a special environment like the God-Slaying Hall, where no one could interfere, and then strike with Lei Ting to suppress him.

So at this moment, Lu Qingshan paid little attention to Lord Tianlang and continued waiting beside the Chaos Return Void Tower, which he used to deceive others, for the True Spirit Hall to open.

On the other side, after seeing Lu Qingshan's silence, Lord Tianlang felt even more self-satisfied in his heart.

"Hmph!"

Lord Tianlang sneered inwardly, thinking: "So what if this Lord of Wan Jie is powerful? Isn't he still under my control?"

"That Nián Jiāo fellow wants to exchange a few high-grade supreme treasures for pieces of the God-Slaying Array Diagram to trade with the Human Clan for other supreme treasure pieces—absolutely impossible!"

"I've got this Lord of Wan Jie cornered! Unless I get one peak supreme treasure, I won't trade any piece of the God-Slaying Array Diagram—not even if the two Demon Ancestors beg me!"

For Lord Tianlang, who rarely ventured into dangerous places, accumulating resources to exchange for a peak supreme treasure was undoubtedly difficult.

Now that such a good opportunity had arisen, he naturally refused to let it slip away, so he outright rejected all other Meng Yao Zu elites who sought to exchange for pieces of the God-Slaying Array Diagram for their own benefit.

While Lord Tianlang's mind raced with thoughts, another towering figure nearly ten thousand kilometers tall emerged from a different vortex passage in the distance.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the newcomer, all the Cosmic Lords waiting on this Primitive Star changed expression slightly—even Lord Tianlang, hidden within Tianlang Palace, let out a cold snort.

At the same time, countless nearby powerhouses began whispering among themselves.

"It's the Hai Lan Zhi Zhu of the Insect Clan!"

"I didn't expect even Hai Lan Zhi Zhu has arrived—this is going to get lively!"

"Indeed! Hai Lan Zhi Zhu's power is extremely strong, and she excels at soul attacks!"

"Hmph! Never mind whether Hai Lan Zhi Zhu even has a True Spirit Hall relic—just having the Lord of Wan Jie here means she won't necessarily have the last laugh!"

"The Lord of Wan Jie is powerful, but Hai Lan Zhi Zhu possesses a peak palace-type supreme treasure for protection, plus her terrifying soul attacks—even the strongest being in the universe can't touch her!"

"The Cosmic Lords of the Insect Clan are indeed extremely hard to deal with; each has exceptional survival capabilities!"

……

As the powerhouses and acquaintances exchanged whispers, Lu Qingshan's face also showed a flicker of wariness upon seeing Hai Lan Zhi Zhu appear.

He wasn't worried she would threaten his safety, but feared that if Hai Lan Zhi Zhu obtained the supreme treasure inside the True Spirit Hall, he would never get another chance.

For other Cosmic Lords, even if they seized a supreme treasure inside the True Spirit Hall, Lu Qingshan could still use various methods to harass them!

But Hai Lan Zhi Zhu was different!

Hai Lan Zhi Zhu's palace-type supreme treasure was a peak-level one; once she retreated inside it, Lu Qingshan could do nothing to her.

In fact, this was because Insect Clan Cosmic Lords were exceedingly rare, so each possessed precious protective treasures.

Hai Lan Zhi Zhu's strength ranked among the top three among Insect Clan Cosmic Lords, and after millennia of accumulation, possessing a peak palace-type supreme treasure was perfectly normal.

As Lu Qingshan's face showed wariness, Hai Lan Zhi Zhu, noticing him, also displayed a look of caution.

After all, although over a dozen Cosmic Lords had gathered on this Primitive Star, most were only second- or third-rank; the only two with fourth-rank power were herself and Lu Qingshan.

Thus, Hai Lan Zhi Zhu now regarded Lu Qingshan as her greatest rival.

"Lord of Wan Jie!"

Hai Lan Zhi Zhu gazed toward Lu Qingshan's direction; though far away, she spoke through a spatial rift: "I didn't expect you to be here on this Primitive Star—please show mercy when we compete for the supreme treasures later!"

Hai Lan Zhi Zhu's voice was incredibly gentle; some Cosmic Lords who heard it felt as if they had entered a wondrous Illusion Realm.

But Lu Qingshan did not lower his guard because of her soft tone—he knew well how terrifying and cruel Hai Lan Zhi Zhu truly was.

Once, the leader of a powerful clan had deeply offended Hai Lan Zhi Zhu on a Primitive Star; later, she schemed secretly for a long time, eventually uniting many powerhouses to assassinate that Cosmic Lord, and even wiped out his entire clan.

"Hai Lan Zhi Zhu, it seems you've obtained a True Spirit Hall relic!"

Lu Qingshan replied coldly: "As for claiming treasures, it's simply a matter of who has the greater skill!"

"Didn't you obtain a True Spirit Hall relic?"

Hai Lan Zhi Zhu spoke softly again: "If so, Lord of Wan Jie, you may return empty-handed this time!"

"No need for you to worry about that, Hai Lan Zhi Zhu!"

Lu Qingshan replied casually, then ignored her entirely.

Hum!

Not long after Hai Lan Zhi Zhu appeared on Primitive Star No. 04993, the entire planet began to tremble slightly.

The tremor spread outward from the True Spirit Hall as its core, radiating in all directions.

After this tremor propagated, the faces of all powerhouses gathered near the True Spirit Hall lit up with delight.

"It's the True Spirit Hall!"

"The True Spirit Hall has opened!"

"Quick, notify our Ancestor—the True Spirit Hall has opened!"

……

Instantly, all powerhouses waiting on Primitive Star No. 04993 sprang into action.

Those possessing True Spirit Hall relics quietly waited for the True Spirit Hall to absorb them;

while those without relics either continued waiting or contacted their clan's powerhouses, hoping to arrive after the treasure struggle ended to claim the supreme treasures…

At that moment, some powerhouses began emitting a hazy white glow, resonating faintly with the True Spirit Hall's vibrations—clearly, they all possessed relics to enter the True Spirit Hall!

Once these glowing figures vanished from their spots, the remaining powerhouses on the Primitive Star finally knew the identities of those who had entered the True Spirit Hall.

"I didn't expect both the Lord of Wan Jie and Hai Lan Zhi Zhu possess True Spirit Hall relics!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan and Hai Lan Zhi Zhu both vanish, one Cosmic Lord couldn't help but sigh: "This competition inside the True Spirit Hall is going to be even fiercer!"

"Yes!"

The friend of this Lord of the Universe sighed in the same manner: "However, others are not so lucky! Moreover, if the Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao falls into the hands of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Worlds or the Lord of Lord Hai Lan, we will have little hope of getting a share!"

"Why worry about that!"

This Lord of the Universe transmitted his voice again: "We do not yet know what the rules for seizing treasures within the True Spirit Hall are. Perhaps the one who seizes the Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao will be another Lord of the Universe, or perhaps those young ones of the Universe Venerable level!"

"True! Anyway, judging by past experience, they cannot stay within the True Spirit Hall for too long. Let us continue to wait!"

Thus, some powerful ones chose to leave, while others chose to remain in place and continue waiting.

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan's divine body was shrouded by a hazy white light and vanished from the spot, it quickly appeared within a vast white world.

This world was about ten million kilometers in width and height, yet its length seemed endless, like a huge passage.
