Chapter 462: Bonds Forged Through Sparring

Within the range of the second Black Pattern Shi Zhu, Lu Qingshan was currently tempering his own will in a region where the flow of time reached six thousand times that of the primal universe, while also cultivating with focused concentration.

Suddenly…

Rumble rumble rumble!

A vast, surging ripple of water suddenly swept toward the region where Lu Qingshan was, and at the same time, a profound voice rang out from within that water-ripple domain: "Lord of Wan Jie!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Qingshan came to his senses and immediately turned his head to look: "Water Ripple Prison? It's the Five-Hun Lord of the Divine Eye Clan?"

After recognizing the newcomer, a trace of surprise also quickly flashed across Lu Qingshan's face.

One had to know that ever since he had used the fusion laws of Lightning Time, Wind Time, and Light Time to create the strongest fusion secret art for a Lord of the Universe, he had always wanted to find this Five-Hun Lord to exchange blows.

It was just that he had never run into this Five-Hun Lord before, and later he had come into this Black Pattern Shi Zhu space to elevate his will, so this matter had been delayed.

But what he hadn't expected was that this Five-Hun Lord had actually come looking for him on his own.

"Five-Hun Lord!"

Lu Qingshan quickly rose and flew toward the direction of the Five-Hun Lord, simultaneously sending a voice transmission directly.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan actively flying toward him, the attitude the Five-Hun Lord displayed was still quite amicable.

After all, Lu Qingshan had once been able to preserve his life at the hands of the strongest being in the universe, so the Five-Hun Lord had never felt that he could kill Lu Qingshan.

His purpose in hurrying over specifically to find Lu Qingshan this time was merely to exchange moves with each other, and then see if he could gain a touch of inspiration from the secret art Lu Qingshan had created.

When neither side was going all out, there was naturally no need for them to be at daggers drawn.

"Lord of Wan Jie!"

The Five-Hun Lord immediately said: "I heard that you used the complete fusion laws of Lightning Time, Wind Time, and Light Time to create a single strongest fusion secret art for a Lord of the Universe. I wonder if you could let me witness it?"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing the Five-Hun Lord's words, Lu Qingshan quickly said with a smile: "Actually, I've long wanted to witness the strongest fusion secret art you've created using the five Beast God Daos as well. It's just that I never found a suitable opportunity. I didn't expect that you, Five-Hun Lord, would actually come looking for me first this time!"

"Hahaha, I too was excited at the sight of a worthy quarry, so I hurried over!"

The Five-Hun Lord quickly said with a smile: "I hope you won't disappoint me, Lord of Wan Jie!"

While Lu Qingshan and the Five-Hun Lord were communicating via voice transmission, the other powerhouses cultivating within the influence range of this second Black Pattern Shi Zhu also began sending voice transmissions to discuss among themselves because of the Five-Hun Lord's arrival.

"That's the Five-Hun Lord of the Divine Eye Clan, isn't it?"

"I've heard this Five-Hun Lord has always been extremely arrogant and domineering in his actions. Why is he being so polite today?"

"Don't you see who he's facing?"

"Exactly! That's the famously renowned Lord of Wan Jie. Even the lone-wolf strongest being of the First Reincarnation Era, 'Extreme Shadow Demon God,' chased him for so long and still couldn't do anything to him, let alone this Five-Hun Lord!"

"The Five-Hun Lord is rather wild, but that depends on the target! As far as I know, he holds quite a bit of admiration for Hun Dun Chengzhu of the human race group in the primal universe!"

"It looks like this Five-Hun Lord wants to exchange moves with that Lord of Wan Jie. I wonder whose strength between the two of them is superior?"

"It should be the Five-Hun Lord, after all. The Five-Hun Lord's ultimate technique was created using five Beast God Daos, while that Lord of Wan Jie' ultimate technique was created using only three Beast God Daos!"

"What you're saying! By that logic, would that mean the Shi Shi Jian Ben Yuan Law is more powerful than the Time Origin Law?"

"I also feel the Five-Hun Lord's strength is superior! After all, aside from creating the strongest fusion secret art for a Lord of the Universe, another reason that Lord of Wan Jie has recently risen to sudden fame is that he possesses a massive reserve of divine power!"

"This time, since the Five-Hun Lord and the Lord of Wan Jie are merely exchanging moves, that massive divine power supply won't be of use! The Five-Hun Lord has been cultivating for many years after all, so his strength is bound to be slightly greater than that Lord of Wan Jie'!"

……

On the other side, just as the surrounding Lords of the Universe were communicating via voice transmission, the Five-Hun Lord also quickly made his move.

"Lord of Wan Jie, you'd better be careful!"

The Five-Hun Lord's voice rumbled, and the single-eyed phantom behind him instantly swelled, followed by the eruption of incomparably dazzling light.

In an instant, the surrounding heaven and earth underwent a tremendous change.

Lu Qingshan only felt that he had plunged directly into a brand-new world. In the sky, a giant single eye gazed down upon the endless earth, while at the edge of the horizon, five different colors—cyan, gold, and others—interwove together.

"Five-Hun World! Water Ripple Prison!"

"Rise!"

As the Five-Hun Lord's voice fell, five-colored light immediately suffused the void, and then completely merged with the endless surrounding water ripples.

Immediately after, the five-colored light that had merged with the water ripples directly gathered into an incomparably enormous palm. Its five fingers were respectively gold, green, blue, red, and yellow, clearly having fully integrated all five Beast God Daos within.

Rumble rumble rumble!

This enormous palm seemed as though it wanted to erase everything, and grabbed directly toward Lu Qingshan.

"Hahaha, well met!"

Lu Qingshan let out a great laugh, then swung the peak treasure-grade longsword in his hand.

He saw streaks of sword light gather before him, and they quickly formed an incomparably ferocious Lightning Beast God.

At the same time, the Lightning Beast God's enormous tail, wreathed in endless purple light, directly smashed toward that enormous palm with tremendous force.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Those five fingers, like heavenly pillars, had originally intended to grab Lu Qingshan directly, but under the lash of the Lightning Beast God's tail, they were forced to retract.

"You've indeed got some skill!"

Seeing his attack easily neutralized by Lu Qingshan, a trace of excitement also flashed through the Five-Hun Lord's eyes: "However, my Water Ripple Prison is only considered average in power among peak domain-type treasures. Even when coordinated with the Five-Hun World, it's only equivalent to a slightly stronger peak domain-type treasure. It's still relatively simple to take down those ordinary Lords of the Universe, but it's impossible to threaten this Lord of Wan Jie!"

"Looks like I'll have to get a little serious from here on out!"

The Five-Hun Lord's mind moved, and strange black scales immediately began to appear all over his body. In particular, his right hand actually turned completely gold.

Even the armor on the Five-Hun Lord became incomparably ferocious, with protrusions on the shoulders, elbows covered in blades, and hands that resembled five blades. The entire person looked as though he were a Blade Beast God.

"Perish for me!"

He saw the Five-Hun Lord directly whistle as he charged toward Lu Qingshan's direction, while his strongest right hand transformed directly into five golden blades, hacking down toward Lu Qingshan's direction.

"Extinction Divine Armor! It's the Five-Hun Lord's Extinction Divine Armor!"

"Looks like the Lord of Five Hun is going all out!"

"The last time I saw the Lord of Five Hun make a move was over three hundred billion eons ago. Back then, the Lord of Five Hun obliterated nearly a third of the divine power of the Star Swirl Lord of the Second Reincarnation Era in a single strike!"

Seeing the Lord of Five Hun go all out, the surrounding Universe Lords watching the battle began transmitting their discussions to one another.

As a powerhouse of the First Reincarnation Era, the Lord of Five Hun's methods were naturally not unfamiliar to these Universe Lords, but what they cared about even more was Lu Qingshan's response.

After all, although Lu Qingshan had risen to sudden fame within the Sea of Universes, it had all happened only recently. Most of them had never personally witnessed Lu Qingshan fight; at most, they had previously seen some recorded images.

"Extinction!"

A fierce glint flashed in the Lord of Five Hun's eyes, and the five golden blades howled as they hacked toward Lu Qingshan.

This was his ultimate killing move after comprehending the third layer of secret patterns on his own armor; its might was enough to rival a Universe Lord's fusion of the strongest secret arts.

"He still has something held back?"

Seeing that the Lord of Five Hun had not deployed his self-created Five Beasts Great Extinction, Lu Qingshan likewise did not deploy his own Three Origins Return-to-Ruins Slash.

He was seen to sweep the longsword in his hand sharply, and then a resplendent sword-light came into being straight across the sky—not only terrifyingly fast, but its might was also irresistible.

Boom boom boom!

The resplendent sword-light and the golden blades collided violently, and then an incomparably terrifying shockwave instantly swept out in all directions.

Afterwards…

"Five Beasts God!"

The Lord of Five Hun directly controlled his Extinction God Armor to swiftly condense into a ferocious strange beast. It had stout four hooves, three pairs of wings, and nine tails, a powerful lion-like body, and also five heads…

These five heads were each of different appearance: one was an eerie head entwined with vines, one was a horned lizard bristling with towering baleful aura, one was a dragon head wreathed in flames…
