Chapter 511: You Come, I Go

Lu Qingshan himself was a cosmic lord with ten thousand times the base gene count, and with a vast reserve of divine power on his person, the power of his self-destruction was naturally terrifying.

If it had been a peak palace-class ultimate treasure, it might well have been shattered outright by Lu Qingshan’s internal explosion!

Yet the Empress Palace, being a palace-class supreme ultimate treasure, naturally could not be shattered outright by Lu Qingshan’s explosion.

In fact, though Lu Qingshan’s explosion was terrifyingly powerful, under the Empress’s full control, the Empress Palace merely trembled slightly.

Though it suffered no damage from Lu Qingshan’s explosion, the Empress’s face could not help but betray a look of shock.

For she simply could not fathom why Lu Qingshan had detonated himself so decisively.

“Such terrifying power—this Lord of Myriad Realms must possess an enormous divine body!”

The Empress secretly thought to herself: “Such a colossal divine body—and he just blew it up?”

Of course, even as she was astonished, the Empress quickly spread waves of divine power, seeping into the few ultimate treasures left behind by Lu Qingshan’s explosion.

For in the eyes of the universe’s strongest beings, Lu Qingshan, though his three avatars could each unleash top-tier sixth-rank power, had most likely obtained a particularly unique set of supreme ultimate treasures.

That was precisely why they had targeted Lu Qingshan in this battle.

Their goal was both to drain the strength of the human race and to seize the supreme ultimate treasures in Lu Qingshan’s possession.

“No matter what, this first supreme ultimate treasure must remain in the hands of my insect race!”

The Empress thought to herself: “Even if the demon race and mechanical race complain later, I can simply give them more peak ultimate treasures!”

When she had originally discussed this with the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Shock Demon Ancestor, and the Mechanical Race’s Father God, they had agreed to suppress all three of Lu Qingshan’s avatars and divide the spoils equally among the three.

But they also knew well that Lu Qingshan would never allow them to suppress all three of his avatars.

Thus, the first treasure seized would be crucial.

As the controller of the Empress Palace, the Empress held a major advantage at this moment.

Yet just as the Empress fully claimed ownership of Lu Qingshan’s remaining ultimate treasures and received their myriad signals, her expression froze completely—even her external body was affected.

For she discovered that the few ultimate treasures left by Lu Qingshan were merely one peak ultimate weapon, one peak ultimate armor, one peak domain-class ultimate treasure, and one top-tier soul-class ultimate treasure…

Aside from these, Lu Qingshan carried no other treasures whatsoever.

Though these treasures were valuable—even useful to cosmic strongest beings—they paled in comparison to the grand bounty the Empress had imagined.

“How is this possible?”

Inside the Empress Palace, the Empress’s avatar stared at the few ultimate treasures before her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

…

On the other side, within a world ring carried by the Great Axe Founder as he battled the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Whoosh!

Inside the world ring, a sea of divine power, over ten million kilometers in diameter, surged endlessly.

After Lu Qingshan’s divine body exploded, a towering figure once again coalesced from the vast ocean of divine power—it was Lu Qingshan’s main battle body, just now self-destroyed.

“These three races have indeed targeted me!”

As Lu Qingshan reformed his divine body, he gestured to summon nearby ultimate treasures and re-equipped himself, thinking inwardly: “But they’ve miscalculated badly this time!”

This war against the insect race, demon race, and mechanical race had long been planned and meticulously prepared by the human race.

Before the battle began, the human race had already anticipated every possible scenario—including what to do if they lost.

The possibility that Lu Qingshan would be targeted by the three races’ cosmic strongest beings had naturally been considered by the human race’s elites.

If Lu Qingshan’s top-tier sixth-rank power had truly come from supreme ultimate treasures, his suppression by the three races would have plunged the human race into grave disadvantage.

But Lu Qingshan’s ability to unleash top-tier sixth-rank power came entirely from his own creation of a sixth-rank top-tier secret technique!

Coupled with his near-infinite reserve of divine power, even if he exploded and perished, he could rapidly restore his divine body—so the human race would suffer little loss, at most losing a few peak ultimate treasures.

In fact, Lu Qingshan’s stubborn power displayed in this battle was itself part of the human race’s planned strategy.

After all, in overall strength, the three-race alliance still far surpassed the human race.

Thus, the human race needed to demonstrate sufficient tenacity and strength to force the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race back to the negotiating table.

This was exactly how it had been when the demon race gained its second cosmic strongest being and launched its territorial expansion war.

That was why Lu Qingshan had left several precious ultimate treasures on his three avatars in the hands of the Great Axe Founder—not only swapping his peak soul-class ultimate treasure for a top-tier one, but also leaving behind his palace-class ultimate treasure and auxiliary flight treasure.

What Lu Qingshan carried were merely ultimate treasures that did not affect his combat power—such as his preferred peak ultimate weapon and armor, and his peak domain-class ultimate treasure.

Whoosh!

After equipping himself with the pre-prepared ultimate treasures around him, Lu Qingshan swiftly gathered a portion of the divine power sea into a world ring he carried.

Then, he directly transmitted to the Great Axe Founder outside: “Great Axe, I’m ready. Let me out!”

Outside in the void, the Great Axe Founder, still battling the Dream Demon Ancestor, heard Lu Qingshan’s transmission and could not help but smile.

After all, Lu Qingshan’s earlier suppression by the Empress had greatly dampened the morale of the human faction.

Especially the alien cosmic lords, who had all been deeply affected.

Now that Lu Qingshan was ready, his reappearance would immediately restore the human faction’s morale.

Thinking this, the Great Axe Founder activated his intent and immediately released Lu Qingshan from the world ring.

Whoosh!

The surrounding space trembled slightly, and a towering figure, over ten thousand kilometers tall, appeared beside the Great Axe Founder.

“Lord of Myriad Realms?”

“Lord of Myriad Realms!”

Seeing Lu Qingshan reappear, the surrounding powerful beings couldn't help but be astonished—even the alien cosmic lords within the human faction cried out in shock.

“Damn it!”

The Dream Demon Ancestor, who had been fighting the Great Axe Founder, was also startled to see Lu Qingshan reappear: “How did this bastard Lord of Myriad Realms return so fast? Does this Great Axe fool have his other avatars with him?”

And at this moment…

“Dream Demon Ancestor, die!”

The moment Lu Qingshan appeared, he immediately charged toward the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Seeing Lu Qingshan charging toward him, the Dream Demon Ancestor could not help but sneer.

He had just been wondering how Lu Qingshan could return so quickly after being suppressed by the Empress—but now, seeing him charge directly at him, he instantly understood!

“Hmph!”

The Dream Demon Ancestor roared angrily: “You fool, Lord of Myriad Realms, you don’t think you can still stop me, do you?”

“I’ll show you now the true gap between a cosmic lord and a cosmic strongest being!”
