Chapter 488: Exploration, Great Battle

"The Lord of Huisuo excels in close-quarters combat, and the Lord of Tunyu is even more adept at soul attacks. If these two join hands, even a typical Universe Supreme would likely be able to hold its own against them!"

"Unfortunately, they have met me this time!"

Seeing the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu appear together, Lu Qingshan felt no great pressure in his heart.

For Lu Qingshan at this moment, the soul attacks of the Lord of Tunyu posed absolutely no threat to him; on the contrary, his own soul attacks might be able to threaten the Lord of Jinjiao and the Lord of Huisuo.

As for the Lord of Huisuo, who excels in close-quarters combat, he might have been able to fight the original him, but now Lu Qingshan can even suppress the Hun Dun Chengzhu whose strength has increased, let alone this Lord of Huisuo.

With the aid of numerous precious supreme treasures, even in a one-on-two situation, Lu Qingshan was very confident he could suppress the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu.

"However..."

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "I remember the Peng Gong Zhi Zhu once said that the secret techniques created by the Lord of Huisuo are quite special; one move among them is similar to time suspension cast at the Immortal stage. This time, I can truly get a good look at it!"

"I never expected that you, Lord Haoshan, would have invited the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

After seeing Lu Qingshan standing beside Lord Haoshan, the Lord of Jinjiao spoke with some wariness: "You must have paid a heavy price to invite the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

At the same time, the Lord of Jinjiao also transmitted a voice to the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu beside him: "Huisuo, Tunyu, we are likely in some trouble this time!"

"Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds has cultivated for a relatively short time, he had already crossed into the fifth-rank level before; recently, he has risen to fame in this Sea of Universes and is indeed a very formidable supreme existence!"

"Now that he has appeared here, our plan to annihilate Lord Haoshan will likely come to nothing!"

"Indeed!"

After hearing the Lord of Jinjiao's transmitted voice, the Lord of Tunyu quickly transmitted back: "The will of the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds is quite powerful; he has already crossed into the Universe Supreme level, and is even slightly stronger than me. I fear my soul attacks will hardly pose any threat to him!"

"Hmph!"

The Lord of Huisuo, whose body was permeated with boundless violent aura, immediately let out a cold snort, then transmitted: "Jinjiao, Tunyu, why do you boost the enemy's morale and dampen your own?"

"How long has the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds cultivated? Even if he has crossed into the fifth-rank level, what is so impressive about that? You fear him, but I do not!"

"Rest assured, once we encounter precious treasures, I will handle the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds alone. You two only need to deal with Lord Haoshan and Lord Qingsang. With your combined strength, can you not handle Lord Haoshan and Lord Qingsang?"

"If it is only Lord Haoshan and Lord Qingsang, they naturally cannot be opponents for me and Jinjiao!"

The Lord of Tunyu immediately transmitted: "I alone can handle those two; at that time, Jinjiao can take the opportunity to seize the treasures!"

"However, what worries me most is the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds. If Huisuo, you can truly hold off the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds alone, I am willing to give up an additional half-percent in the distribution of treasures this time!"

"Rest assured, leave the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds to me!"

The Lord of Huisuo immediately said: "This time, I will definitely make him understand that opposing the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance is the most foolish behavior!"

"Then it is settled!" The Lord of Tunyu quickly nodded slightly and transmitted.

"I have no problem either!" The Lord of Jinjiao similarly transmitted in response.

Whether they stood at the very peak of the Universe Lords or possessed the ability of clones, they naturally would not be overly wary of Lu Qingshan; once they encountered precious opportunities next, they certainly would not easily give them up.

"What price I paid has nothing to do with you, Lord of Jinjiao!"

On the other side, Lord Haoshan quickly looked at the Lord of Jinjiao and said: "Lord of Jinjiao, since everyone has arrived, there is no need to continue waiting; let us enter quickly!"

"Go!" The Lord of Jinjiao nodded and responded in the same manner.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan and Lord Qingsang followed Lord Haoshan, while the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu followed the Lord of Jinjiao; a group of six figures flew together into the towering, strange palace ahead.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

During the flight, Lord Haoshan also transmitted with some worry: "I never expected the Lord of Jinjiao would have invited the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu!"

"The strength of these two is extremely terrifying; one excels in close combat, and the other excels in long-range attacks and soul attacks. Their coordination is extremely seamless; fighting them together will indeed be extremely difficult!"

"The Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu!"

At that moment, even Lord Qingsan felt immense pressure.

Facing these two Universe Lords with incomparably terrifying strength, if Lu Qingshan had not been present, he might have already turned and retreated.

"Do not worry!"

Lu Qingshan quickly transmitted to the worried Lord Qingsang and Lord Haoshan in their hearts: "If it is an ordinary treasure, both sides can negotiate the distribution!"

"If a truly precious treasure appears, the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu will be left to me to handle; you two only need to deal with the Lord of Jinjiao!"

In fact, even facing the Lord of Huisuo and the other two simultaneously, Lu Qingshan had ample confidence.

However, since his main purpose for coming here was to seize treasures, he naturally had to consider all factors.

"Good!"

"Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, rest assured, we two will definitely coordinate well with you!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan decide to handle the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu alone, Lord Qingsang and Lord Haoshan immediately felt much more relaxed in their hearts.

As long as Lu Qingshan truly blocked the Lord of Huisuo and the Lord of Tunyu, they would definitely be able to snatch suitable treasures from the Lord of Jinjiao.

And while Lu Qingshan and the others were exchanging transmitted voices, their group of six finally arrived at the core area of this strange palace.

In front of the six of them stood six identical massive stone doors, distributed across six different directions.

"This is the entrance to the core area!"

Looking at the towering stone doors ahead, Lord Haoshan quickly transmitted to Lu Qingshan and Lord Qingsang: "According to the information obtained by me and the Lord of Jinjiao, to enter the final core place, six powerful ones must each hold a token and enter through these six passages; after breaking through layers of obstacles, they must embed the tokens into specific areas and finally inject a large amount of divine power to succeed!"

"I once split my divine power into avatars with the Lord of Jinjiao to attempt acting separately, but we all failed!"

"Lord Haoshan!"

The Lord of Jinjiao beside him also quickly looked at Lord Haoshan, then spoke: "Let us begin!"

Hearing these words, Lord Haoshan did not hesitate at all.

After all, the opportunity was right before their eyes; who would be willing to withdraw?

"Enter!"

"Enter!"

It was seen that the six powerful ones of Lu Qingshan's side and the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance side each dispersed, and soon each holding a token, entered the stone doors ahead one by one.

The passages behind the stone doors seemed to have been swept clean by Lord Haoshan and the Lord of Jinjiao in advance, so there were no layers of obstacles as Lord Haoshan had mentioned, and naturally no treasures would appear.

Just like that, after flying at sub-light speed for over ten seconds, Lu Qingshan quickly arrived at the end of the passage.

At the end of this passage lay a recess covered in strange mystical patterns, its shape perfectly matching the token in Lu Qingshan's hand.

Lu Qingshan stirred his thoughts, and the token instantly shot forth, seamlessly fitting into the recess ahead.

At the same moment…

Hum!

Lu Qingshan immediately poured forth waves of divine power, seeping into the recess.

With Lu Qingshan's potent divine power flooding in, the entire passage blazed with endless light; the strange mystical patterns flared one after another, and even the surrounding space began to tremble incessantly.

Simultaneously, the same phenomenon occurred in the passage entered by Lord Haoshan and the others — clearly, they too had activated their tokens.

Once all the mystical patterns in the six passages glowed fully, they converged into a single colossal mystical diagram, which then stirred the entire strange palace.

Boom—!

Amid a tremendous roar, the obstructions at the ends of the six passages vanished instantly, and Lu Qingshan and his five companions soon appeared at the edge of a vast world.

"Is this the core region of this great hall?"

Lu Qingshan gazed at the vast world around him and at Lord Haoshan and the others who had appeared alongside him, his mind filled with surprise — for everything had proceeded far too smoothly.
