Chapter 452: Retreat in Full Safety

“This human Lord of All Worlds’ ultimate technique is remarkably similar to Wu Hun’s ‘Five Beasts Annihilation’!”

Watching Lu Qingshan continuously unleash secret techniques to attack the Lord of Candle Shadow, the Dragon Sword Lord of the Divine Eye Clan couldn’t help but whisper to his two companions.

“It is indeed very similar!”

The Flame Lord nodded as well: “But Wu Hun comprehended the Five Beast Dao paths—Metal Void, Wood Void, Water Void, Fire Void, and Earth Void—while this Lord of All Worlds must have comprehended precisely the three Beast Dao paths: Light Time, Thunder Time, and Wind Time!”

“If Wu Hun were here, seeing this Lord of All Worlds’ ultimate technique, he’d surely be thrilled!”

“Regardless, this human Lord of All Worlds’ strength is truly impressive!”

The Dragon Sword Lord quickly said: “It seems these three trash Haizú members working together can’t possibly overcome this human!”

“Even if all three of us joined forces, we’d likely be no match for that trio of Dragon Abyss Lord and his allies!”

The Flame Lord quickly whispered: “Dragon Sword, Pure Eye—what are your plans next? Are you going to stop the Lord of All Worlds?”

“I’ll first try to see if I can affect the Lord of All Worlds with a soul attack!”

The Pure Eye Lord quickly whispered back: “This Lord of All Worlds has cultivated for such a short time—his willpower can’t be that strong, and he almost certainly doesn’t possess a precious soul treasure to protect himself!”

“Soon, I’ll find the right moment to directly attempt soul annihilation. If it greatly affects him, we strike. If his resistance is strong, we let him go.”

“That’s a good idea!”

“Pure Eye, we’re counting on you!”

Upon hearing Pure Eye Lord’s plan, both the Dragon Sword Lord and the Flame Lord immediately replied in whispers.

……

“Damn it!”

On the other side, facing Lu Qingshan’s relentless attacks, the Lord of Candle Shadow was both frantic and furious.

His battle blade instantly became a blur as he continuously unleashed his own created supreme technique to defend.

Yet his supreme technique was only at the level of a Universe Lord’s ultimate secret art—even when combined with Dragon Abyss Lord, it could only reach a fifth-rank power level, still clearly inferior to a true Universe Lord’s fused ultimate technique.

Throughout the ongoing battle, the Lord of Candle Shadow’s divine body was steadily weakening.

Five percent, eight percent, ten percent…

Because Lu Qingshan had been fighting with a strategy of trading blows, he absorbed far more divine energy loss from the full-force assaults of Dragon Abyss Lord and the Hawk Lord than the Lord of Candle Shadow did.

Yet thanks to his reserve divine energy replenishment, Lu Qingshan’s divine body remained perfectly intact.

“Brother! Hawk!”

After losing ten percent of his divine body, the Lord of Candle Shadow finally whispered again to his two companions: “With this Lord of All Worlds’ strength, the three of us can’t possibly defeat him—let’s give up!”

“If we keep fighting, my divine body will be severely damaged, and recovering later will be a nightmare!”

As he spoke, the Lord of Candle Shadow ceased trying to block Lu Qingshan’s attacks and instantly teleported beside Dragon Abyss Lord.

“I never imagined this Lord of All Worlds would be this troublesome—even more so than the Chaos City Lord of the human race!”

After Dragon Abyss Lord swung his long spear to block Lu Qingshan’s attack and shield the Lord of Candle Shadow, he quickly said: “Lord of All Worlds, Hawk Lord—stop!”

Hearing Dragon Abyss Lord’s words, the Hawk Lord, realizing he couldn’t overcome Lu Qingshan, immediately ceased his assault.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan naturally halted his own attacks.

If possible, he still preferred to avoid intense conflict with the Haizuqiangzhe at this moment.

After all, the Haizú’s overall strength far surpassed that of the human race; utterly antagonizing them would bring no benefit to him or his people.

“Lord of All Worlds, I admire your strength!”

Dragon Abyss Lord quickly spoke: “The fused ultimate technique you just used—what is its name?”

“Three Yuan Return to Void Slash!” Lu Qingshan replied promptly.

“Truly an extraordinary technique!”

Dragon Abyss Lord continued: “I never expected that after such a short cultivation time, you’d have created a fused ultimate technique of a Universe Lord!”

“Dragon Abyss Lord!”

Seeing the atmosphere no longer tense, Lu Qingshan’s tone grew much more amiable: “Your ‘Pan Dragon Nine Spears’ are also extraordinary—even one-on-one, I might not be your match!”

“Hahaha!”

Hearing this, Dragon Abyss Lord quickly said: “Lord of All Worlds, you’re too modest! We three attacked you together and still couldn’t break through—your Chaos City Lord may not even be your equal!”

“I admire your strength. Though I don’t know what treasure you obtained, with your power, you’re already worthy of possessing such a relic. Let’s call this matter settled, shall we?”

As he spoke, Dragon Abyss Lord immediately retracted the colorful sand domain that had filled the surrounding void, then joined his two companions.

Hearing Dragon Abyss Lord’s words, Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but pause in surprise—he hadn’t expected the matter to resolve so easily.

Yet upon reflection, it was quite reasonable.

After all, Dragon Abyss Lord and the others had no idea how many treasures he had acquired, and based on past events in the Bibo Sea region, the most valuable relic to emerge was usually only a peak-level domain treasure.

Though such a treasure was still incredibly precious, Lu Qingshan’s demonstrated strength now made him fully qualified to claim it.

Realizing this, Lu Qingshan quickly said: “Agreed. I hope we meet again sometime, Dragon Abyss Lord and the rest of you!”

With that, Lu Qingshan instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

But at that moment, a phantom divine force suddenly seeped into Lu Qingshan’s mind.

“Hmm?”

With the peak-level soul treasure ‘Juhun Jade’ guarding his soul, Lu Qingshan instantly sensed something was wrong.

“Pure Eye Lord?”

Lu Qingshan’s expression darkened; he swiftly turned toward the direction of the Pure Eye Lord and coldly said: “Two of you from the Divine Eye Clan—why stop me?”

“We have a reason!”

The Pure Eye Lord smiled and nodded.

As he spoke, the solitary eye shadow behind him suddenly swelled violently, and an ancient mirror emerged from his body, directly merging into the solitary eye shadow!

Then, the solitary eye shadow solidified, becoming like the gaze of heaven and earth, fixing upon Lu Qingshan—followed by an invisible attack piercing into his mind: Pure Eye Lord’s ultimate soul technique, Pure Annihilation Reincarnation!

Immediately after…

Shhh!

A brilliant white light shot through the void toward Lu Qingshan—a strange weapon resembling a two-headed white dragon, as if aiming to slice him cleanly in half.

“Most ordinary warriors struck by my illusion have zero resistance!”

The Pure Eye Lord whispered to his two companions: “If this Lord of All Worlds reacts the same way, you two strike simultaneously and annihilate his divine body. But if he recovers quickly, we abandon the attempt immediately!”

On the other side, within Lu Qingshan’s mind.

“Juhun Jade—guard me!” Sensing the soul attack, Lu Qingshan immediately activated the Juhun Jade in his mind.

Long before reaching Immortal Godhood, Lu Qingshan had been famed across the Outer Battlefield for his soul attacks.

Combined with his ability to create clones, he had always placed greater emphasis on soul defense than others of his level.

When he first dared to venture into the Universe Sea, he had already been confident he could detonate a clone under the soul assault of the strongest beings in the universe.

Now, with the peak-level soul treasure Juhun Jade guarding his soul, his soul defense was even stronger.

Though Pure Eye Lord’s soul attack was terrifying, it still fell far short of the soul assault prowess of the Queen of the Insect Race.

Thus, when Pure Eye Lord’s soul attack penetrated Lu Qingshan’s mind, it caused not the slightest effect.

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan lightly swung his sword, and a brilliant blade of light surged forward, instantly shattering the two white dragon heads lunging at him—revealing a seemingly ordinary white ruler-shaped treasure.
