Chapter 431: The New Fifth Tier

Boom boom boom!

Wherever the warblade in the hand of the Lord of Changjiu swept past, a jet-black, ink-like rift in space instantly appeared, as if the entire void had been split in two.

"After endless ages of silence, I have finally created the strongest fifth-tier fusion secret art!"

At this moment, killing intent filled the eyes of the Lord of Changjiu: "Lord of Wan Jie, now I shall use your corpse to forge my illustrious fame!"

Yes!

At this point, the Lord of Changjiu had already created the strongest fifth-tier Universe Lord fusion secret art, and this was the first time he displayed his full power to the outside world.

His protective treasure, life-gene level, and secret art had all reached the absolute limit a Universe Lord could achieve — that is, the strength of a top-tier fifth-tier being.

"This is…"

Seeing the Lord of Changjiu strike, Lu Qingshan's expression also shifted slightly.

Because he suddenly realized that the Lord of Changjiu's strength was far greater than he had imagined — clearly, he had already stepped into the fifth tier.

"Could the Lord of Changjiu have already stepped into the fifth tier?"

Such a thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, but he was not overly shaken.

First, in the original work, the Lord of Changjiu had always possessed top-tier fifth-tier strength;

second, even before he had created his strongest Universe Lord secret art, he had already been able to withstand the full-force assault of a fifth-tier Universe Lord like the Divine Lord of Beacon Heaven — let alone the current him, who had already created his strongest secret art.

"Block it for me!" Lu Qingshan growled inwardly.

Facing a fifth-tier attack, he immediately unleashed his own self-created strongest Universe Lord secret art, 'Purple Thunder Profound Heaven Slash'.

The boundless divine power within Lu Qingshan's body instantly surged madly into the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, and the might of the sword abruptly skyrocketed.

Endless power gathered at the tip of the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword, and in an instant a purple sword-light erupted, slamming viciously into the silver-white warblade in the Lord of Changjiu's hand.

Boom boom boom!

The Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword and the silver-white warblade collided violently in the void, instantly producing an incomparably terrifying shockwave.

And as the shockwave spread out in all directions, the silver-white warblade in the Lord of Changjiu's hand also split apart the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword in Lu Qingshan's grip, then hacked viciously into Lu Qingshan's body.

Bang!

Struck by the silver-white warblade in the Lord of Changjiu's hand, Lu Qingshan's entire body was sent flying backward.

However, the remaining might carried by the silver-white warblade was already negligible by then, and was further weakened to one ten-thousandth by the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment Armor on Lu Qingshan's body, so it only caused a slight loss of his divine power, which was then rapidly restored under the infusion of his boundless divine power.

"The Lord of Changjiu's strength has indeed stepped into the fifth tier!"

Feeling the loss to his divine body, Lu Qingshan could not help but sigh inwardly: "And his strength is already extremely formidable even among fifth-tier beings — it should be in no way inferior to the Divine Lord of Beacon Heaven, otherwise he could not have wiped out one ten-thousandth of my divine body in a single strike!"

Although the loss of one ten-thousandth of his divine body was nothing to a Universe Lord, Lu Qingshan's divine body was nearly ten thousand kilometers tall, and he had used his ultimate technique to resist the Lord of Changjiu's attack, while also being protected by a peak treasure-grade armor.

If it had been a Universe Lord with a smaller divine body, who had not created the strongest secret art, and who also lacked the protection of peak treasure-grade armor, then after taking the Lord of Changjiu's full-force strike, even if they did not die on the spot, they would certainly have been gravely wounded.

"What!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan had suffered virtually no damage under his attack, the Lord of Changjiu was also quite shaken.

One had to remember that the strike just now had been the result of his full-force attack, yet the damage it ultimately inflicted on Lu Qingshan was negligible.

"It seems this Lord of Wan Jie has indeed become far more troublesome!"

After his shock passed, the Lord of Changjiu could not help but sigh inwardly: "And the armor on him is probably a top-quality piece among peak treasure-grade armors — otherwise, facing my frenzied attack, he could not have handled it so easily!"

"Damn this Lord of Wan Jie — he only broke through not long ago, yet I don't know how he has accumulated so many resources. Could it all have been bestowed by the human race?"

One had to remember that the Lord of Changjiu had originally been the most dazzling prodigy of the Meng Yao Zu, and the Meng Yao Zu's bestowments upon him were naturally extraordinarily lavish.

Over the long ages past, the two Ancestral Fiends had bestowed upon him countless resources — so much so that the act had already drawn some resentment from other Universe Lords of the Meng Yao Zu.

Fortunately, he had not let down the expectations of the two Ancestral Fiends, and had smoothly stepped into the ranks of fifth-tier Universe Lords.

And the next step, his goal was naturally to break through once more and become the Meng Yao Zu's third strongest Universe Lord.

On the other side, the surrounding Universe Lords, upon seeing the Lord of Changjiu erupt with such terrifying strength, all revealed looks of shock on their faces.

"Heavens! The Lord of Changjiu has actually created a fifth-tier Universe Lord fusion strongest secret art?"

"That's right! I remember when the Lord of Changjiu used to venture out into the Sea of Cosmos, he often needed other powerful experts from the Meng Yao Zu alliance to come rescue him — who would have thought he'd create a Universe Lord fusion strongest secret art so quickly!"

"The Lord of Changjiu has created a Universe Lord fusion strongest secret art — yet another super powerhouse not to be trifled with has appeared in the Primordial Cosmos!"

"Given the Lord of Changjiu's talent and comprehension, in the future he may well become the Meng Yao Zu's third strongest Universe Lord!"

"The Meng Yao Zu's overall strength is indeed formidable — not only do they have two strongest Universe Lords, they even have three fifth-tier Universe Lords now!"

"That's right! We're still in the early period of the Primordial Cosmos. By the time this reincarnation era ends, the Meng Yao Zu's overall strength may well surpass that of the Divine Eye Race!"

"Hmph! Don't forget, the Meng Yao Zu have split once before. If you count the Beast Ancestor and the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor, the Meng Yao Zu have already produced four strongest Universe Lords — far more than the Divine Eye Race of the same period!"

"That's right! Fortunately the Beast Ancestor, the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor, and the Meng Yao Zu's two Ancestral Fiends are not on good terms — otherwise, who knows how terrifying the Meng Yao Zu would be now!"

"The human race is also terrifying — don't forget the original Ancestor of the past, who was a super powerhouse who roamed the Sea of Cosmos without a single equal! If that Ancestor had not been suppressed, even with four strongest Universe Lords, the Meng Yao Zu would probably not have dared to keep fighting the human race!"

For a time, the many surrounding Universe Lords began transmitting messages to familiar friends, discussing among themselves.

Especially some Universe Lords with extremely long cultivation ages were even moved to recall certain past events — such as how the original Ancestor had once led the human race to rise, roaming the Sea of Cosmos without a single equal; how the Beast Ancestor's original Meng Yao Zu had ultimately split into the Meng Yao Zu and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance…

If the surrounding Universe Lords watching the battle were shocked and sighing, then the human race's Universe Lords who were currently blocking the Meng Yao Zu experts all turned ugly at the sight of the Lord of Changjiu erupting with fifth-tier strength.

Although the human race also had three fifth-tier Universe Lords, the Lord of Darkness had always been operating under a disguised identity in the Sea of Cosmos, and could not rush to provide support at this moment.

And the Meng Yao Zu had already sent more experts to the Primordial Star than the human race this time; now, with the leadership of the Lord of Changjiu, who had broken through to the fifth tier, it would be far more troublesome for Lu Qingshan to withdraw unscathed from here on.

Virtual Cosmos, within a luxurious great hall in Hong Alliance City.

To facilitate communication, the group of Universe Lords from the human race responsible for supporting Lu Qingshan had all gathered here.

"This is troublesome now!"

The Lord of Wilderness Insight of the Universe Mercenary Alliance was the first to speak: "That Lord of Changjiu has broken through to the fifth tier, and now he has a peak domain-type treasure protecting him — it will be difficult for the Lord of Wan Jie to return safely to our human race's territory!"

"It should be fine, right?"

The Lord of Qingluan, who had also come out to receive Lu Qingshan this time due to his improved strength, quickly said: "The Lord of Wan Jie is still very powerful. Even the Divine Lord of Beacon Heaven of the Zushen Sect could not do anything to him back then. Now that his strength has greatly advanced, although this Lord of Changjiu has broken through to the fifth tier, he probably still can't do anything to the Lord of Wan Jie!"

"The Lord of Wan Jie' strength is indeed very formidable!"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror soon spoke again: "Add to that the terrifying divine power reserves of the Wan Jie, and in a one-on-one duel, the Lord of Changjiu is naturally powerless against him!"

"I fear nothing else, only that the Wan Jie will be sealed!"

"Sealed!"

After hearing the words of the Lord of the Desolate Mirror, the faces of many Universe Lords from the human race all showed a trace of worry.

It must be known that many powerful Universe Lords in the universe, although their strength cannot compare to the Strongest of the Universe, still have a chance to preserve their lives in the hands of the Strongest of the Universe.

Normally, what they worry about most in battle is likewise being suppressed and sealed by other powerful beings.

Even with a supreme treasure weapon in hand, it is still possible to be sealed.

And once sealed, if they are merely carried into a certain small universe, they will naturally be at the mercy of the other party to be rolled into a ball or flattened.

Just like the previous Lord of Tianlang, hiding inside the Tianlang Hall, even a Fifth-Rank Universe Lord was powerless against him, yet in the end he was suppressed by Lu Qingshan, which led to a life-or-death crisis, and at the same time provoked a host of Meng Yao Zu experts to move out in full force.

"Although the strength of the Lord of Changjiu is formidable, it is not enough to threaten the Wan Jie!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu also soon spoke solemnly: "But once the opponent joins hands with several Universe Lords, they can completely trap the Wan Jie, and then directly suppress and seal them!"

"Once the Wan Jie are suppressed and sealed, they will inevitably be taken to a small universe of the Meng Yao Zu; at that time, even if one can self-destruct a clone, one will still lose a vast amount of divine power and many precious supreme treasures!"

Hearing these words, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu's face soon also showed a look of concern: "Lu Qingshan, you must be very careful from now on!"

"The Lord of Changjiu holds a supreme treasure of the peak palace class bestowed by the Dream Demon Ancestor; you must absolutely not be suppressed by him in alliance with other Meng Yao Zu Universe Lords!"

"Teacher, rest assured!"

Lu Qingshan soon nodded and said: "Disciple is now relatively close to the vortex passage leading to Primitive Star 08654; escaping this predicament is not difficult!"

"That is right!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Qingdong Zhi Zhu of the Universe's First Bank soon spoke: "The environment on the Primitive Star is special; as long as the Wan Jie teleport to Primitive Star 08654, it will be difficult for those scum of the Meng Yao Zu to pursue and kill him!"

"Now we shall see whether the Wan Jie teleport to that Primitive Star 0864 first, or whether those scum of the Meng Yao Zu surround the Wan Jie first!"

On Primitive Star 04993.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Changjiu of the Meng Yao Zu were constantly exchanging blows.

With Lu Qingshan possessing what could be called an oceanic supply of divine power, he naturally feared the Lord of Changjiu not at all.
