Chapter 427: Suppression

"Could it be that this Lord of Wan Jie holds a top-grade palace-type supreme treasure with sealing functions?"

Upon seeing the purple-black pagoda that Lu Qingshan had taken out, Lord Tianlang's heart could not help but grow worried.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Lord Tianlang thought to himself: "How long has this Lord of Wan Jie even been since his breakthrough? Even with the help of the human race, for him to have raised his life-gene level to nearly ten thousand times, collected the other components of the God-Slaying Formation Diagram, and exchanged for a set of peak supreme treasure weapons and armor in this period is already heaven-defying enough — how could he possibly still have the resources to exchange for a top-grade palace-type supreme treasure?"

One must understand that a top-grade palace-type supreme treasure is no common cabbage.

Even the weakest top-grade palace-type supreme treasure is worth as much as two peak supreme treasure weapons.

If not for this, after roaming the universe for endless years, he would not still be using merely a top-quality piece among high-grade palace-type supreme treasures.

Thinking of this, Lord Tianlang's heart gradually settled down.

"Lord of Wan Jie!"

Though Lord Tianlang's voice was still icy at this moment, there was a trace of bluster masking fear in it: "Wanting to deal with me is not that easy. You don't think that just because you possess a palace-type supreme treasure you can suppress me, do you?"

"Then let us see together just how things turn out!"

Lu Qingshan let out a cold laugh, then immediately channeled the terrifying divine power from his burning into the Chaotic Demon-Suppressing Pagoda in his hand.

The Chaotic Demon-Suppressing Pagoda in Lu Qingshan's hand, radiating endless purple-black light, instantly swelled to a diameter of over a million kilometers, then flew directly above the Tianlang Palace that Lord Tianlang was riding in.

Immediately after, an invisible, terrifying swallowing force instantly took effect on the Tianlang Palace Lord Tianlang was riding in, beginning to madly devour it.

Rumble rumble rumble!

That terrifying swallowing force instantly caused the Tianlang Palace Lord Tianlang was riding in to begin tottering on the brink of collapse.

Inside the Tianlang Palace.

"Th-this… how is this possible?"

Feeling the Tianlang Palace tottering on the brink of collapse under the swallowing of Lu Qingshan's purple-black five-story pagoda, Lord Tianlang's face could not help but reveal a trace of panic.

One must understand that, when facing enemies, his most powerful life-preserving method was this Tianlang Palace in his hands.

Back then, when he and a fellow clansman had barged into the Nine Nether Sea of the Lord of Nine Nether, facing the Lord of Nine Nether who was madly burning his divine power, it was by relying on the Tianlang Palace that he had escaped with his life.

Of course, the reason Lord Tianlang had been able to escape back then was entirely because the Lord of Nine Nether had only just broken through not long before, and had neither created any terrifying ultimate techniques nor possessed suitable supreme treasures;

whereas now the Lord of Nine Nether's strength was already considered top-tier among universe lords, and he had also accumulated many precious treasures. If Lord Tianlang were to barge into the other's lair again, he would surely be completely suppressed by the other party, and then never be able to escape smoothly again.

But now…

"Who would have thought that this damned Lord of Wan Jie actually got his hands on a top-grade palace-type supreme treasure with sealing functions — this is big trouble!"

Feeling the terrifying swallowing force bearing down on the Tianlang Palace continuously increasing, Lord Tianlang's heart also began to sense that things were going badly.

Whoosh!

Just before the Tianlang Palace was completely suppressed by the Chaotic Demon-Suppressing Pagoda controlled by Lu Qingshan, Lord Tianlang finally left the Tianlang Palace.

Lord Tianlang moved his mind, completely retracted the Tianlang Palace, then directly burned his divine power and fled toward the distance.

Although Lord Tianlang's divine body consumption was relatively small now, he did not dare to continue fighting Lu Qingshan any longer.

After all, after Lu Qingshan's life-gene level had risen, his divine body was already larger than Lord Tianlang's, and coupled with Lu Qingshan's universe-famous divine power reserves, that also made him wary.

So what Lord Tianlang wanted to do now was to pull as much distance from Lu Qingshan as possible. When the time came, both sides would be flying at sub-light speed, and in these ever-changing labyrinth passages, Lu Qingshan would naturally find it very difficult to do anything to him.

Unfortunately, the surrounding space-time had long been enveloped by Lu Qingshan's God-Slaying Formation Diagram domain, and his movement techniques were affected to a certain extent;

moreover, Lu Qingshan also possessed the auxiliary flight-type top-grade supreme treasure "Sky-Splitting Cloud-Treading Boots," and using them to execute movement techniques was naturally much faster than Lord Tianlang's.

"Lord Tianlang!"

Seeing Lord Tianlang begin to flee, Lu Qingshan, who had been in a state of burning divine power all along, immediately executed his movement technique and gave chase: "Wanting to run now — isn't it a little too late?"

With the help of the God-Slaying Formation Diagram and the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Treading Boots, Lu Qingshan did not worry in the slightest that Lord Tianlang could escape from his hands.

"Damned Lord of Wan Jie!"

Lord Tianlang could not help but curse in his heart, but under Lu Qingshan's pursuit, he had no choice but to turn back and engage Lu Qingshan.

Otherwise, once Lu Qingshan's attacks fully struck his divine body, even with the protection of peak supreme treasure armor, the speed at which his divine power was depleted would greatly increase.

Just like that, Lu Qingshan and Lord Tianlang soon became entangled in combat once more, and their divine power was continuously being depleted.

The continuous depletion of divine power was nothing at all to Lu Qingshan, who carried with him endless divine sea clones splitting his divine body, but for Lord Tianlang, who had no clones at all, it was far more painful.

"Lord of Wan Jie!"

When the divine power depletion exceeded ten percent, Lord Tianlang could not help but roar angrily: "You bully the weak with your strength — are you trying to start a great war between your human race and my Meng Yao Zu?"

"Lord Tianlang! Didn't you previously think I couldn't do anything to you? How about now?"

Hearing Lord Tianlang's words, Lu Qingshan could not help but snort with laughter: "Just because of you, Lord Tianlang, even if you truly perished, it would hardly be enough to start a great war between the two great camps!"

"Moreover, even if a great war truly were started, would my human race be afraid of your Meng Yao Zu?"

While saying this, Lu Qingshan did not pause in the slightest, but continued to launch attacks against Lord Tianlang without cease.

Just like that, the battle between Lu Qingshan and Lord Tianlang continued unceasingly.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes…

This was a battle fought with insane ferocity — to be precise, it should be said that Lu Qingshan was continuously attacking Lord Tianlang.

And in these successive exchanges, Lord Tianlang's divine body was also continuously being depleted.

As for Lu Qingshan, who was continuously attacking Lord Tianlang, his divine body could instead receive continuous replenishment, remaining in perfect condition all along.

"Lord of Wan Jie, stop!"

After his divine body had been depleted by twenty percent, Lord Tianlang, having withstood a full-force strike from Lu Qingshan, finally opened his mouth and yielded: "As long as you are willing to stop, I can hand over the True Spirit Heart Lamp component I just obtained!"

"Once I leave this True Spirit Hall, I will also hand over the God-Slaying Formation Diagram component stored in my divine kingdom to you!"

"Lord Tianlang, you really are generous!"

Hearing these words from Lord Tianlang, Lu Qingshan could not help but snort with laughter: "If you had been willing to do this before entering this True Spirit Hall, I would certainly have thanked you!"

"But now that you are already about to be slain by me, you still want to use my own things to beg for mercy — that is truly laughable to the extreme!"

"Lord of Wan Jie, you are forcing my hand!"

The Lord of Tianlang now also realized the gravity of the situation, so he had grown even more frenzied: "I am one of the Lords of the Universe of the Meng Yao Zu. Many of my race's Lords of the Universe have received my favors, and even the Dream Demon Ancestor himself received my help when he was still weak. If you kill me, my Meng Yao Zu will surely fight you to the death!"

"So what if we fight to the death?"

Lu Qingshan let out a cold laugh and said: "Has your Meng Yao Zu ever been a friend of our human race to begin with?"

"Lord Tianlang, stop struggling. Just obediently become a sacrifice on my path to becoming a powerhouse!"

Before his words had even faded, Lu Qingshan swung his sword once more, and a resplendent streak of sword-light shot explosively toward the direction where Lord Tianlang was.

"Damned Lord of Wan Jie!"

Lord Tianlang let out a furious roar, then began once more to employ secret arts to block Lu Qingshan's attacks.

At the same time, the avatar Lord Tianlang had left within the Meng Yao Zu's domain also began swiftly reaching out to the many high-ranking members of the Meng Yao Zu.

……

Within the Meng Yao Zu's domain, in the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.

The divine-force avatar Lord Tianlang had left within the Meng Yao Zu's domain arrived directly at the Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm through divine-realm teleportation, then consciousness-linked into the 'virtual space' enveloping the entire Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.
