Chapter 452: Retreat Unscathed

"This human Lord of Wan Jie' ultimate move is actually quite similar to Wu Hun's 'Five Beasts Great Extinction'!"

Watching Lu Qingshan continuously employ secret arts to attack the Lord of Candle Shadow, the Long Jian Lord of the Divine Eye Race couldn't help but transmit his voice to his two companions.

"It is quite similar!"

The Lord of Kindling Fire nodded and said: "However, what Wu Hun comprehended are the five Beast God Daos of Metal Void, Wood Void, Water Void, Fire Void, and Earth Void. What the Lord of Wan Jie comprehended should happen to be the three Beast God Daos of Light Time, Thunder Time, and Wind Time!"

"If Wu Hun were here and saw the Lord of Wan Jie' ultimate art, he would surely be thrilled at the sight of a worthy quarry!"

"Regardless, this human Lord of Wan Jie' strength is indeed quite impressive!"

The Long Jian Lord quickly said: "It seems the three Bone Race trash joining forces probably can't do anything to that human!"

"Even if the three of us joined forces, I'm afraid we'd be roughly on par with the Lord of Long Yuan and his two companions joining forces!"

The Lord of Kindling Fire quickly transmitted: "Long Jian, Pure Eye, what are your plans next? Are we going to stop that Lord of Wan Jie?"

"Let me first try to see if I can affect that Lord of Wan Jie through a soul attack!"

The Lord of Pure Eye quickly transmitted: "After all, that Lord of Wan Jie hasn't been cultivating for very long, so his willpower probably isn't that strong, and he's also unlikely to have a precious soul-type supreme treasure protecting him!"

"Later I'll find a suitable opportunity to directly attempt a soul-killing strike on him. If it affects him significantly, then we'll make our move; if the effect on him is minor, then we'll just let him leave!"

"That's a good plan!"

"Pure Eye, then it's up to you!"

After hearing the Lord of Pure Eye's plan, the Long Jian Lord and the Lord of Kindling Fire both transmitted their replies.

……

"Bastard!"

On the other side, facing Lu Qingshan's continuous attacks, the Lord of Candle Shadow was both anxious and furious.

The battle blade in his hand directly transformed into an afterimage as he continuously employed his self-created strongest ultimate art to resist.

It's just that his self-created strongest ultimate art was only at the level of a Lord of the Universe's strongest secret art. Even when combined with the Lord of Long Yuan, it could erupt with fifth-tier strength, but there was still a clear gap compared to a true Lord of the Universe's fused strongest secret art.

In the continuous battle, the Lord of Candle Shadow's divine body was being constantly weakened.

Five percent, eight percent, ten percent……

Because Lu Qingshan had been employing a fighting style of trading injury for injury, the divine power he consumed while enduring the full-force attacks of the Lord of Long Yuan and the Lord of Gray Eagle was certainly far more than the Lord of Candle Shadow's.

But with the replenishment of his stored divine power, Lu Qingshan's divine body remained in a perfect state throughout.

"Big Brother! Gray Eagle!"

After his divine body lost ten percent, the Lord of Candle Shadow finally transmitted to his two companions again: "With the Lord of Wan Jie' strength, the three of us simply can't take him down. Let's give up!"

"If we keep fighting, my divine body will be severely damaged, and recovering later will be troublesome!"

While transmitting, the Lord of Candle Shadow no longer tried to forcefully resist Lu Qingshan's attacks. Instead, his figure flashed, and he directly appeared beside the Lord of Long Yuan.

"I really didn't expect this Lord of Wan Jie to be so difficult to deal with, even more so than that Hun Dun Chengzhu of the human race!"

After the Lord of Long Yuan swung his long spear to help the Lord of Candle Shadow block Lu Qingshan's attack, he quickly said: "Lord of Wan Jie, Gray Eagle, let's stop!"

Hearing the Lord of Long Yuan' words, the Lord of Gray Eagle, knowing he couldn't do anything to Lu Qingshan, quickly stopped.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan naturally stopped his own attacks as well.

If possible, he still wasn't very willing to have a fierce conflict with Bone Race powerhouses at this point.

After all, the Bone Race's overall strength far exceeded the human race's. Completely offending them would bring no benefit to either him or the human race.

"Lord of Wan Jie, I admire your strength!"

The Lord of Long Yuan quickly said: "What is the name of that Lord of the Universe fused strongest secret art you used earlier?"

"Three Origins Return to the Ruins Slash!" Lu Qingshan quickly answered.

"It really is a very powerful ultimate art!"

The Lord of Long Yuan quickly said again: "I didn't expect that the Lord of Wan Jie, having cultivated for such a short time, has actually created a Lord of the Universe fused strongest secret art!"

"Lord of Long Yuan!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer as tense as before, Lu Qingshan's tone also became much friendlier: "Your 'Coiling Dragon Nine Spears' is also extraordinary. Even in a one-on-one situation, I might not necessarily be your match!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Long Yuan quickly said: "Lord of Wan Jie, you're too modest! The three of us attacking you and you could easily withstand it—I'm afraid even your human race's Hun Dun Chengzhu might not be your match!"

"I admire your strength. Although I don't know exactly what treasure you obtained this time, with your strength, you are already qualified to possess such a treasure. Let today's matter end here, how about it?"

As he said this, the Lord of Long Yuan quickly retracted the Colored Sand Domain field permeating the surrounding void, then gathered with his two companions.

Hearing the Lord of Long Yuan' words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He truly hadn't expected the matter to be resolved so easily.

But thinking carefully, this was actually quite normal.

After all, the Lord of Long Yuan and the others had no idea exactly how many treasures he had obtained. Based on past occurrences in the Bibo Sea region, at most only one supreme treasure at the peak domain-type level would emerge.

Although a supreme treasure of this level was equally priceless, with the strength Lu Qingshan had displayed, he was already qualified to possess it.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "No problem. I hope I get the chance to meet you three again next time!"

After saying this, Lu Qingshan immediately transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew toward the distance.

But just then, a strand of etherealized divine power suddenly seeped into Lu Qingshan's mind.

"Hmm?"

With the peak soul-type supreme treasure 'Soul Gathering Jade' guarding his soul, Lu Qingshan instantly sensed something was wrong.

"Lord of Pure Eye?"

Lu Qingshan's expression darkened. He quickly turned to look in the direction of the Lord of Pure Eye, then said coldly: "The two from the Divine Eye Race, is there something you need from me?"

"There is!"

The Lord of Pure Eye smiled and nodded.

The moment his words fell, the single-eyed phantom behind the Lord of Pure Eye suddenly swelled greatly. At the same time, an ancient mirror emerged from within his body and directly merged into that single-eyed phantom!

Then, that single-eyed phantom actually became solid, as if it were the Eye of Heaven and Earth, gazing at Lu Qingshan. An invisible attack then seeped into Lu Qingshan's mind—it was precisely the Lord of Pure Eye's most powerful soul attack technique, Pure Extinction Samsara!

Immediately after…

Whoosh!

A dazzling white light tore through the air toward Lu Qingshan's position — it was actually a strange beast-shaped weapon resembling a two-headed white flood dragon, lunging as if to cut Lu Qingshan clean in two at the waist.

"An ordinary strong cultivator struck by my illusion technique would have absolutely no power to resist!"

The Lord of the Pure Eyes transmitted his voice directly to his two companions: "If the Lord of Wan Jie is the same, then the two of you strike at once and together annihilate his divine body! But if the Lord of Wan Jie wakes too quickly, then we withdraw immediately!"

Meanwhile, inside Lu Qingshan's mind.

"Soul-Gathering Jade, guard me!" Sensing the soul attack, Lu Qingshan immediately activated the Soul-Gathering Jade within his sea of consciousness.

One must remember that as far back as the Immortal God stage, Lu Qingshan had already become famous across the extraterritorial battlefield for his soul attacks.

Moreover, because he possessed the ability to create clones, Lu Qingshan valued soul defense far more than other strong cultivators of the same level.

Back then, when he dared to venture into the Sea of Universes, he had already been confident he could self-detonate a clone to survive a soul attack from the universe's strongest.

And now, with the Soul-Gathering Jade — a peak-grade soul-type supreme treasure — guarding his soul, his soul defense had grown even more formidable.

Although the Lord of the Pure Eyes' soul attack was terrifying, there was still a considerable gap between it and a universe's strongest expert like the Insect Race Empress, who specialized in soul attacks.

Therefore, once the Lord of the Pure Eyes' soul attack seeped into Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, it failed to cause him the slightest bit of harm.

Crash!

Lu Qingshan lightly swung the longsword in his hand, and a resplendent sword-light blasted forward, instantly shattering the two white flood dragons lunging to bite him — revealing beneath them a supreme treasure in the shape of an utterly ordinary white long ruler.
