Chapter 481: Passing Years

Time flows ceaselessly, never halting for any single powerful being.

Since transferring the Infinite Divine Sea avatar from the Divine Kingdom into the Primordial Universe, Lu Qingshan's many avatars have each fulfilled their duties: some ventured into the Sea of Universes seeking special opportunities, others tempered their wills, some devoted themselves to comprehending and fusing laws, and yet others studied secret arts, and so on...

It is worth mentioning that since breaking through to the fifth-rank Universe Master realm, Lu Qingshan's fame within the Sea of Universes has grown ever greater.

After all, even within the Sea of Universes, Universe Masters who have created fifth-rank secret arts are not numerous.

Furthermore, Lu Qingshan possesses a vast quantity of divine power, sufficient to withstand prolonged attacks from ordinary Universe Supremes; thus, in the absence of major conflicts of interest, few powerful beings in the Sea of Universes are willing to engage him in combat.

And within the Primordial Universe, this is even more true!

Therefore, Lu Qingshan's cultivation path has already become extremely tranquil; even when occasional setbacks arise, for one of his immense strength, they are merely trivial matters.

Thus, time continued to flow ceaselessly.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty billion eras had passed since Lu Qingshan transferred the Infinite Divine Sea avatar from the Divine Kingdom into the Primordial Universe.

Virtual Universe, Lei Ting Island peak.

This place is covered with endless chaotic energy flows, and within these chaotic flows stand several extremely towering divine halls.

These divine halls are all residences of Universe Masters from the Virtual Universe Company lineage, and the master of one of these halls is precisely the ruler of the Virtual Universe Company, Hun Dun Chengzhu.

And within Hun Dun Chengzhu's divine hall...

Here was constructed an infinitely vast space, and in the central region of this vast space, two figures emitting terrifying auras were currently facing each other from a distance.

One figure wore purple-gold battle armor, with a resolute face, and continuously emitted a strange aura from his body—sometimes explosive, sometimes sharp, sometimes ethereal... He was the super-existence renowned even throughout the Sea of Universes, the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, Lu Qingshan;

while the other person wore a golden long robe, with a scaled tail growing from his back, and his twin eyes seemed to harbor a sea of stars; his aura was towering and vast. He was the leader of the Virtual Universe Company lineage, Hun Dun Chengzhu.

At this moment, the auras of Lu Qingshan and Hun Dun Chengzhu spread outward in all directions, and even their momentum continued to rise.

"Hahaha, Senior Uncle, receive my strike!"

Lu Qingshan laughed loudly, then instantly drew the purple-gold long sword carried on his back; immediately, his entire form transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, rushing rapidly toward Hun Dun Chengzhu's location.

"Very well!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu's face likewise displayed a smile; then the dilapidated stone staff in his hand immediately swung fiercely forward.

Bang!

Lu Qingshan's purple-gold long sword in his hand soon collided with the dilapidated stone staff in Hun Dun Chengzhu's hand; immediately, an extremely terrifying power erupted outward with the two of them as the center.

Boom-boom-boom!

Waves of terrible shockwaves swept in all directions in an instant; everything within the surrounding space directly turned into a state of nothingness, and even the spatial particle flows completely vanished.

Yet the figures of Lu Qingshan and Hun Dun Chengzhu seemed utterly unaffected by this shock force, remaining steadily in their original positions.

"Hahaha!"

Sensing the power of Lu Qingshan's attack, Hun Dun Chengzhu could not help but smile and say, "Ten Thousand Worlds, the power of this strike of yours has indeed grown considerably stronger, but I suspect your purpose in coming to spar with me this time extends beyond this!"

"I see that you have now completely comprehended the five Beast God Paths of Jin Zhi, Mu Kong, Shui Kong, Tu Kong, and Huo Kong; you must have, based on these, created new secret arts!"

"Truly, nothing can be concealed from you, Senior Uncle Hun Dun!"

After hearing Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, Lu Qingshan soon laughed loudly: "I have indeed created several sets of secret arts this time, which is why I came to spar with you, Senior Uncle!"

"However, Senior Uncle, you must be careful; if you are too careless, you might just be defeated by my hand!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Hun Dun Chengzhu's face soon displayed a slight smile; he then spoke in the same manner: "How coincidental!"

"My strength has also increased considerably recently; I just wanted to find someone to spar with, and unexpectedly, Ten Thousand Worlds has come knocking!"

"Then that is even better!"

Lu Qingshan soon said with a smile: "Senior Uncle, be careful!"

The words had barely fallen when Lu Qingshan swiftly swung the purple-gold long sword in his hand: "Five Elements Annihilation!"

Rustle-rustle-rustle!

Lu Qingshan merely shifted his mind, and immediately, strange threads emitting lights of various colors spread across the purple-gold long sword in his hand.

These threads were either crimson, or green, or yellow, or golden, or blue, containing the explosiveness of Fire, the vitality of Wood, the heaviness of Earth, the sharpness of Jin Zhi, and the gentleness of Water...

Five threads of laws of different attributes, at this moment, were fused together in an incredibly perfect manner.

Immediately, these countless threads of laws converged upon each other, then directly transformed into a terrifying sword light emitting five-colored radiance!

"Go!"

Lu Qingshan merely lightly swung the long sword in his hand, and this five-colored sword light immediately, carrying overwhelming power, rushed swiftly to strike toward Hun Dun Chengzhu's location.

"This is..."

Seeing the majestic attack wielded by Lu Qingshan, Hun Dun Chengzhu's face could not help but display a smile: "Ten Thousand Worlds has indeed completely fused these five Beast God Paths together!"

"This strike is likely even more perfect, even more terrifying, than the 'Five Beasts Great Extinction' of the Five Hun Lords of the Divine Eye Clan!"

As one of the topmost Universe Masters in the Sea of Universes, Hun Dun Chengzhu had naturally fought against the Five Hun Lords of the Divine Eye Clan, so he was very clear on just how terrifying the Five Hun Lords' ultimate moves truly were.

And now, the feeling this secret art of Lu Qingshan gave him was even slightly stronger than the strongest secret art of the Five Hun Lords.

Of course, although Hun Dun Chengzhu was surprised in his heart, he did not forget to respond to Lu Qingshan's attack.

If it were several hundred billion eras ago, blocking this move would have been quite troublesome for him.

But during the past several hundred billion eras, his strength had also improved.

"With a flip of the palm, a universe is created!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu, clad in a golden long robe, merely slowly extended his hand; then that palm began to rapidly swell, finally transforming directly into a shadow that blocked out the sky and obscured the sun, containing within it the birth and evolution of a universe, while threads of chaotic energy were intermingled throughout, appearing extremely dreamlike.

The moment this palm shadow appeared, it immediately covered toward the direction of the five-colored sword light, as if intending to crush the sword light completely into dust.

"The power of Senior Uncle's ultimate move has grown stronger again!"

Gazing at that sky-blocking, sun-obscuring giant palm, Lu Qingshan's heart stirred; then he exerted all his strength to control that five-colored sword light.

Boom-boom-boom!

Only then did that hand, blocking the sky, soon collide with the five-colored sword light, and instantly completely envelop the five-colored sword light.

The five-colored sword light wielded by Lu Qingshan seemed completely trapped; no matter what, it could not break through the envelopment of that sky-blocking hand, and could only, beneath the envelopment of the sky-blocking hand, constantly annihilate and be devoured by it.

After the power of the five-colored sword light completely dissipated, that sky-blocking hand still carried immense power, and then directly turned palm into fist, striking directly toward the direction where Lu Qingshan was.

Boom—!

The power of the fist shadow exploded directly, instantly blasting Lu Qingshan's figure back several million kilometers.

After a moment, all movement and sound vanished.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing the terrifying power wielded by the Hun Dun Chengzhu, Lu Qingshan directly laughed out loud: "Elder Hun Dun, I didn't expect your ultimate move to have become so terrifying!"

"I could achieve this breakthrough also thanks to the many secret techniques you contributed last time, Wan Jie!"

The Hun Dun Chengzhu quickly spoke: "Although those secret techniques from ancient civilizations differ greatly from the secret techniques we cultivate, they still hold some reference value for us!"

"Especially some of the secret techniques that integrate the laws of time and space; they moved me greatly!"
