Chapter 481

Time flowed on endlessly, never pausing for any mighty being.

Since transferring his Infinite Divine Sea avatar from the Divine Realm into the Primitive Universe, Lu Qing’s many avatars had each taken on their own roles—some exploring the Universe Sea for rare opportunities, some honing their willpower, some deeply contemplating the fusion of laws, others studying secret arts...

Notably, since breaking through to the fifth-rank Universe Lord level, Lu Qing’s reputation in the Universe Sea had grown ever greater.

After all, even within the Universe Sea, few Universe Lords had created fifth-rank secret arts.

And Lu Qing possessed an immense reservoir of divine power, sufficient to withstand prolonged assaults from the strongest beings of an ordinary universe; thus, few in the Universe Sea were willing to fight him unless a massive Liyi conflict arose.

And within the Primitive Universe, this was even more so!

Thus, Lu Qing’s cultivation path had begun to grow exceedingly tranquil; even occasional setbacks were but minor matters to one of his strength.

And so, time continued to flow.

In the blink of an eye, over thirty billion eons had passed since Lu Qing transferred his Infinite Divine Sea avatar from the Divine Realm into the Primitive Universe.

…

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island’s peak.

Endless chaotic currents filled the area, and amid these currents stood several towering divine palaces.

These palaces were the residences of the Virtual Universe Corporation’s Universe Lords, and one of them belonged to the corporation’s ruler—the Chaos City Lord.

And within the Chaos City Lord’s palace...

A vast, boundless space had been constructed, and at its center stood two figures radiating terrifying auras, facing each other across the distance.

One figure wore purple-gold battle armor, his face resolute, his body emitting a strange aura—sometimes explosive, sometimes sharp, sometimes ethereal—it was the legendary supreme being known throughout the Universe Sea, the Lord of Myriad Worlds, Lu Qing;

The other wore a golden robe, his back adorned with a scaled tail, his eyes containing galaxies and oceans, his aura majestic and boundless—it was the leader of the Virtual Universe Corporation, the Chaos City Lord.

At this moment, the auras of Lu Qing and the Chaos City Lord spread outward in all directions, their pressure continuously rising.

“Hahaha, Uncle, take this!”

Lu Qing laughed loudly, then instantly drew the purple-gold longsword strapped to his back, and in the next instant, his entire body became a streak of purple-gold light, hurtling toward the Chaos City Lord.

“Come!”

The Chaos City Lord smiled as well, and his worn stone staff shot forward with a swift swing.

Crash!

Lu Qing’s purple-gold longsword collided with the Chaos City Lord’s stone staff, and immediately a terrifying force erupted from between them.

Boom!

A wave of devastating shockwaves swept outward in an instant, reducing all surrounding space to nothingness—even the stream of spatial particles vanished entirely.

Yet Lu Qing and the Chaos City Lord remained perfectly still, as if untouched by the force.

“Hahaha!”

Feeling the power of Lu Qing’s attack, the Chaos City Lord smiled: “Wanjie, your technique’s strength has indeed grown considerably—but I doubt you came here just to test this alone.”

“I sense you’ve fully comprehended the Five Beasts’ Paths—Fire Space, Wood Space, Water Space, Earth Space, and Metal Space—and you’ve surely created a new secret art based on them.”

“Truly, nothing escapes your observation, Uncle Chaos!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing laughed heartily: “I’ve indeed developed several new secret arts—that’s why I came to spar with you, Uncle!”

“But be careful, Uncle—if you grow careless, you might just lose to me!”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, the Chaos City Lord smiled. “How coincidental.”

“My own strength has also improved recently—I was just looking for someone to spar with, and here you are!”

“Perfect!”

Lu Qing grinned: “Uncle, watch out!”

No sooner had he spoken than Lu Qing swung his purple-gold longsword: “Five Elements Annihilation!”

Whoosh!

With a thought, countless strange threads of colored light erupted from his sword—crimson, green, yellow, gold, blue—each embodying fire’s explosion, wood’s vitality, earth’s weight, metal’s sharpness, water’s gentleness...

The five distinct elemental law threads fused together in perfect harmony.

Then, these countless threads converged into a single terrifying blade of five-colored light.

Immediately, these countless rule threads converged together, then transformed directly into a terrifying blade of light radiating five-colored radiance!

Lu Qing merely flicked his wrist, and the five-colored blade shot forward with overwhelming force toward the Chaos City Lord.

Zhijianluqingshanjinshiqingqinghuidongshouzhongchangjian ， Zhedaowucaijianguangbianlijixiedaizhetaotianweinengchaohundunchengzhusuozaifangxiangjisuzhanqu 。

Seeing Lu Qing’s majestic attack, the Chaos City Lord smiled: “Wanjie has truly fused the Five Beasts’ Paths completely!”

“This technique is even more complete and terrifying than the Five Beasts’ Annihilation of the Eye Clan’s Wu Hun Lord!”

As one of the top Universe Lords in the Universe Sea, the Chaos City Lord had fought Wu Hun Lord before—he knew just how terrifying that technique was.

Yet now, Lu Qing’s secret art felt even stronger than Wu Hun Lord’s ultimate technique.

Of course, though surprised, the Chaos City Lord did not forget to respond.

A few hundred billion eons ago, blocking this would have been difficult.

But in the past few hundred billion eons, his strength had also advanced.

“With a flick of the hand, a universe is born!”

The Chaos City Lord, clad in golden robes, slowly extended his hand—and his palm rapidly expanded until it became a colossal shadow obscuring the heavens, containing the birth and evolution of an entire universe, interwoven with wisps of chaotic energy, appearing almost dreamlike.

The moment this palm-shadow appeared, it descended upon the five-colored blade, as if determined to crush it into dust.

“Uncle’s ultimate technique has grown even stronger!”

Watching the colossal palm, Lu Qing’s mind stirred, and he exerted all his control over the five-colored blade.

Kanzhenazhetianbiribandejudashouzhang ， Luqingshanxinzhongyidong ， Suihoubianjiejinquanlidicaokongqilenadaowucaijianguang 。

The sky-obscuring palm swiftly engulfed the five-colored blade, completely enclosing it.

Lu Qing’s blade, as if trapped, could not break free—it could only continuously annihilate and be consumed within the palm’s grip.

When the five-colored blade’s power finally dissipated, the sky-obscuring palm still carried immense force, then transformed into a fist and slammed toward Lu Qing.

Dengdaowucaijianguangdeweinengwanquanxiaosan ， Nazhetiandashouqueshiyijiuxiedaizhehenqiangdeweineng ， Suihougengshizhijiehuazhangweiquan ， Zhijiechaozhuluqingshansuozaifangxianghongjierlai 。

The fist’s power erupted, instantly hurling Lu Qing back hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Moments later, all motion ceased.

“Hahaha!”

Seeing the terrifying power the Chaos City Lord had displayed, Lu Qing laughed loudly: “Uncle Chaos, your ultimate technique has become terrifying indeed!”

“My breakthrough owes much to the secret arts you contributed last time!”

The Chaos City Lord replied: “Those ancient civilization arts differ greatly from ours, but they still offer valuable insights.”

“Especially those blending time and space laws—they deeply inspired me.”

"Especially some of the secret techniques that fuse time and space laws deeply moved me!"
