Chapter 482

After the sparring ended, Lu Qingshan exchanged further insights with the Master of Chaos City on the art of creation, before returning his awareness to reality.

In a hidden region of the Mysterious Star System, the Infinite Divine Sea avatar continued to expand relentlessly.

Above the Infinite Divine Sea avatar floated an ancient, unadorned divine palace radiating peculiar light.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan’s third avatar stood before the palace, silently observing the Infinite Divine Sea avatar below.

Within the Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s core region, a vacuum zone roughly one hundred million kilometers in diameter now existed—no drop of divine force seawater could penetrate it, as if a colossal bubble floated inside the avatar’s body.

Inside this vast vacuum bubble, countless objects now hovered.

Various metals, minerals, soil, liquids…

Ordinary substances like soil and water droplets from common life planets; or mysterious materials such as genetic matter from highly evolved special lifeforms, even rare cosmic treasures…

All manner of strange substances from the vast universe now filled this space, nearly overwhelming the hundred-million-kilometer diameter.

Billions of metals! Billions of special energy bodies! Billions of liquids! Billions of plants! All matter! Even truly living lifeforms!

From single-celled organisms to the divine bodies of cosmic lords from various races.

Simultaneously, Lu Qingshan’s Infinite Divine Sea avatar continuously applied the “Creation” art to analyze and study these materials.

“My Infinite Divine Sea avatar has grown even larger!”

Feeling the vastness of his Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s divine body, Lu Qingshan silently marveled.

Over the past three hundred billion eons, the life gene level of this avatar had steadily risen under Lu Qingshan’s efforts.

Logically, after a life gene level increases, the body should shrink as it did before.

Yet over this long span, Lu Qingshan had continuously expanded the avatar’s divine body, aided by the peak-origin treasure “Spirit Gathering Bowl,” and now its diameter exceeded eight hundred billion kilometers.

With such a colossal divine body, in the entire Prime Universe, only the Nine You Sea of the Nine You Lord might surpass him.

“My Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s divine force quality is likely no weaker than the Nine You Lord’s!”

Feeling the life gene level of his Infinite Divine Sea avatar, Lu Qingshan thought inwardly.

After centuries of effort, aided by the Enlightenment Boost function in the chat group, his Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s life gene level had reached nearly ten thousand times that of an ordinary lifeform in the universe.

Though it had not yet reached the perfect 10,081-fold life gene level, this level was now fully mastered by him.

That meant, had his main battle body and second avatar not used precious resources to elevate their life gene levels, they could now achieve nearly ten thousand times the ordinary life gene level through self-cultivation alone.

Even his third avatar, born from the “Creation” art within the Infinite Divine Sea avatar, now had a life gene level of nearly ten thousand times the ordinary—had it been equipped with a full set of peak treasures, its power would rival that of Lu Qingshan’s main body and second avatar.

Of course, even after Lu Qingshan’s gains from the Fire Void Beast God “Fen Kong”’s legacy, the Human Clan’s treasure vault still lacked sufficient peak-level domain treasures.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan’s third avatar’s primary duties remained cultivation and assisting the expansion of the Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s body, so he had only exchanged for peak weapons and armor from the Human Clan’s vault; other domain treasures were merely top-tier, granting combat power roughly comparable to the division of the Master of Chaos City stationed in the Prime Secret Realm.

Over these long eons, Lu Qingshan had exchanged insights with the Nine You Lord many times, as both shared the same realm, possessed the “Creation” art, and pursued the divine force path.

Through these exchanges, Lu Qingshan naturally learned some of the Nine You Lord’s secrets.

For instance, the Nine You Lord himself was an extraordinarily rare special lifeform, born with a life gene level of over nine thousand times that of an ordinary lifeform.

In the original story, the Nine You Lord’s Nine You Sea avatar had a low life gene level—only about one-tenth of his main body, or roughly nine hundred times.

Now, with Lu Qingshan’s presence, the Nine You Lord had taken the divine force path.

Though his achievements on this path fell short of Lu Qingshan’s, he had fully comprehended how to construct a life gene level of over two thousand times, and thus raised his Nine You Sea avatar’s life gene level to over two thousand times, gaining a measurable power increase.

Of course, whether Lu Qingshan or the Nine You Lord, each could only birth one avatar through the “Creation” art.

“What a pity…”

After a flood of thoughts passed through his mind, Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly: “My main battle body has roamed the Cosmic Sea for so long, yet encountered no special opportunities or any Chuancheng related to the divine force path!”

Over these three hundred billion eons, his achievements on the divine force path far surpassed those of the Nine You Lord at his level, and on the Faze path, he had comprehended eight Beast God Dao paths, creating powerful arts such as “Five Elements Annihilation” and “Eight Directions Total Annihilation,” far exceeding the Master of Chaos City at the same level.

Logically, such cultivation speed was already remarkable.

But Lu Qingshan was not satisfied.

First, after his comprehension ability improved again, it now surpassed that of the Master of Chaos City at the same level;

Second, over this long period, he had continuously trained his second avatar’s willpower within the Black Rune Pillar space—though it had not broken into the Void True God realm, it was already among the strongest in the universe;

Third, he had the Enlightenment Boost function in the chat group—though earning chat group points was difficult, over these three hundred billion eons he had activated the function several times.

Thus, Lu Qingshan remained dissatisfied with his cultivation progress, especially on the divine force path.

“With the Enlightenment Boost function, if I had received any Chuancheng or guidance on the divine force path, I would surely have already elevated my life gene level to the perfect 10,081-fold!” Lu Qingshan thought inwardly.

Though near-ten-thousand-fold and perfect life gene levels did not differ greatly in offensive power, they were fundamentally distinct.

For example, Lu Qingshan’s three avatars all had near-ten-thousand-fold life gene levels and divine bodies of over ten thousand kilometers—but upon reaching the perfect life gene level, the divine body could instantly swell to over ninety thousand kilometers tall;

Moreover, the perfect life gene level represented the absolute limit of the Cosmic Lord stage; once this limit was shattered, one could smoothly enter the Cosmic Strongest realm.

In the original story, Luo Feng had raised his life gene level to over sixteen thousand times before accepting the Title Mission in the Jin World, thanks not only to his own comprehension and the “Creation” art, but also to the many divine force path insights he gained from the Duan Donghe Chuancheng .

Now, Lu Qingshan had only fragments of such divine force path guidance from memories of the original story.

Of course, this was not his fault.

In truth, Lu Qingshan had elevated his Infinite Divine Sea avatar’s life gene level to near ten thousand times in such a short span without any Chuancheng —thanks not only to the Enlightenment Boost function, but also to his own relentless effort.

During this time, he dispatched his subordinates to collect Yanshenzu corpses by any means possible, even capturing powerful Yanshenzu members directly.

Because of this, the Yan Emperor grew even more hostile toward the Human Clan, but in Lu Qingshan’s eyes, the Yan Emperor’s hostility was merely impotent rage.

For him, had it not been for the Mountain Guest’s interference, he would have long ago rallied other Human Clan elites to suppress and exterminate the Yan Emperor!

Additionally, to study the divine force path, Lu Qingshan collected the blood of numerous Cosmic Lords, even obtaining the blood of seven Cosmic Strongest, including the Axe Creator himself!

After all, in the original story, Luo Feng achieved breakthroughs on the divine force path only after acquiring vast quantities of True God blood in the Jin World.

Unfortunately, the blood of Cosmic Lords and Cosmic Strongest could never be forcibly seized.
