instead, he planned to wait until his next entry into the Prime Universe to use it while meditating on the Chaos Stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had already used the Enlightenment Boost once during his previous meditation on the Chaos Stele, which allowed him to make astonishing progress within the Chaos City in just two thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, at that time, Lu Qing had too few points to afford using the Enlightenment Boost every time he meditated on the Chaos Stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was precisely why Lu Qing had already begun accumulating points for his next training session in the Chaos City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, time continued to pass, and before he knew it, over two hundred thousand years had elapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Lu Qing not only made up for the vacation he had taken after his last training session in the Chaos City, but also received his first five-thousand-year vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this time, Lu Qing did not choose to rest; instead, he planned to wait until his next vacation to accumulate ten thousand years, then re-enter the Chaos City to train for three thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although three thousand years of training was extremely brief for an immortal with eternal life, combining the Chaos Stele with the chat group’s Enlightenment Boost would still grant him considerable progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the virtual universe, Thunder Island, within the training space of Lu Qing’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simulate the scene as Ziguang Island!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Lu Qing’s command, the intelligent lifeform Deep Blue swiftly acted, and the entire training space instantly transformed into a vast purple island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a region he often visited during his days roaming the Outland Battlefield; though called an island, its diameter exceeded thirty million kilometers and could accommodate battles among King-level Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portion Lu Qing simulated in his training space was merely a tiny fragment of Ziguang Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lu Qing stood barefoot on dark-gold battle boots, his back bearing a crystal longsword forged from Thunder Source Purple Crystal, floating above Ziguang Island as he gazed far ahead at a massive mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Thunder Break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing suddenly roared, and in an instant, the crystal longsword at his back was gripped in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he swung the sword fiercely, a brilliant purple blade of light instantly tore through layers of space ahead, slashing toward the distant colossal mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple blade struck the massive mountain range with full force, instantly severing a peak towering tens of thousands of kilometers high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severed peak crashed heavily to the ground, instantly stirring up endless interstellar dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the power of this full-force strike, Lu Qing’s face lit up with excitement: “After countless years of arduous cultivation, the power of this self-created secret technique has finally reached the top tier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even most King-level Immortals’ self-created secret techniques were merely top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Qing’s current understanding of cosmic laws was far inferior to that of King-level experts, even this single top-tier technique was enough to let him tower over most peers of his own level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the most important thing for me right now is that I’ve fully comprehended the fifth diagram of the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing thought to himself: “Now I can restructure my divine power again, and after this restructuring, I will gain a true immortal body—this is truly double fortune!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, regardless of which Chaos Stele one meditates on, the fifth diagram always corresponds to a minor branch of one of the two supreme primordial laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the complete Space Primordial Law can be divided into three major branches—‘Instant Transmission,’ ‘Crushing,’ and ‘Space Lock’—each major branch further splits into numerous sub-branches, and those into even smaller ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lu Qing had now fully comprehended was a minor branch beneath ‘Time Stop,’ one of the three major branches of the Time Primordial Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely comprehending this minor branch was enough to grant him the ability to pass the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time to restructure my divine power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Lu Qing’s consciousness immediately returned to the real world, and he swiftly began restructuring his divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, his divine power had risen from an initial hundredfold Lord-power to eight hundredfold Lord-power, but this breakthrough to one thousandfold Lord-power was a fundamental transformation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine power, restructure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of restructuring divine power carried no danger, but previously, Lu Qing had relied only on fragmented Time Primordial Law, which could enhance divine power’s strength but could not achieve fundamental transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, Lu Qing relied on a complete branch of the Time Primordial Law, allowing his restructured divine power to reach a relatively perfect state—the Immortal Body of a Marquis-level Immortal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Immortal Lord level, even when combat power was similar, there were many opportunities to kill an opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the stronger side outnumbered the weaker side, it became even simpler!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the Marquis-level Immortal tier and above, unless there was a vast power disparity, killing an opponent two levels weaker required immense cost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for this was that all Marquis-level Immortals possessed an Immortal Body; even if reduced to dust, they could reform entirely without any loss of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill a Marquis-level Immortal with an Immortal Body, only two methods generally worked: ‘Soul Annihilation’ and ‘Forced Erasure.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To annihilate an enemy’s soul, one must utterly dominate in soul attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet who among those who became Immortal Spirits had not fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? Nearly every one possessed immense willpower; annihilating an Immortal Spirit through soul attacks was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcibly erasing an Immortal Spirit with an Immortal Body was equally difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Achieving this usually required overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, taking the weakest Marquis-Initial Immortal as a baseline, without special treasures, one needed at least Marquis-Initial power to forcibly erase their divine power; if a Marquis-High Immortal wished to forcibly erase another’s divine power, they too would need to burn their own immortal divine power—but once burned, that portion of divine power was permanently lost, imposing a heavy cost on the attacker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Marquis-Peak Immortal burning divine power to kill a Marquis-Initial Immortal would require hundreds or even thousands of years to recover, let alone a Marquis-High Immortal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, at the Marquis-level Immortal tier, unless there was extraordinary profit or deep hatred, Immortal Spirits rarely burned their divine power in desperate battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if one possessed rare treasures or special potions that inflicted severe damage to divine power, even those weaker in strength could kill an Immortal Spirit with an Immortal Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the original protagonist Luo Feng, who once used the priceless Femo Poison to annihilate numerous King-level Immortals, earning the title ‘Sword River King!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such treasures were invariably exceedingly rare, and acquiring them was extraordinarily difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lu Qing’s divine power stabilized once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PUFF!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing willed it, and his entire arm instantly disintegrated into countless particles, only to reassemble moments later, restored to its original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Body! This is the Immortal Body!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing smiled as he watched his arm fully restored, a faint grin spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before restructuring his divine power, even if his arm could regenerate, it would have lost some immortal divine power—but now, with the Immortal Body, it was entirely different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just an arm—even if his entire body were reduced to dust, as long as the opponent’s power was insufficient to erase the essence of his divine power, he could restore himself completely through the Immortal Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, I should restructure the divine power of my Infinite Divine Sea avatar and my second avatar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, the Infinite Divine Sea avatar and the second avatar within his divine realm quickly began restructuring their divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the restructuring was complete, the volume of the Infinite Divine Sea avatar shrank again, yet due to over two hundred thousand years of accumulated reserves, even after shrinking, it still retained a diameter of over thirty meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Replenish divine power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all avatars completed divine power restructuring, Lu Qing swiftly opened a temporary divine realm teleportation channel, transferring divine power from the Infinite Divine Sea avatar to his main body and second avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve now truly escaped the status of an ordinary Immortal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the temporary divine realm teleportation channel slowly close, Lu Qing felt profound emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling his days as a Lord, when he had strained every nerve to accumulate points for a Prime Universe meditation slot, spending over a hundred years might still yield only one Huan Yuan unit of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, after becoming an Immortal, the situation improved slightly, yet working for one hundred thousand years earned him only three thousand points—so when returning to the company headquarters or his family, he preferred to slowly travel by spaceship rather than spend vast resources opening a divine realm teleportation channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, Lu Qing could open divine realm teleportation channels freely without any sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all these changes occurred because his strength had continuously grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once entering Marquis-tier, the heavens and earth suddenly feel vast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing’s mood was undeniably exhilarated; after all, in the eyes of many experts, only those who possessed an Immortal Body could truly be called Immortal Spirits—and now he had finally reached this level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the voice of the intelligent lifeform Deep Blue suddenly echoed in Lu Qing’s mind: “Master, your friend Luo Si has sent you an email!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Si? Isn’t he still roaming the Outland Battlefield? Why suddenly contact me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing willed his consciousness, instantly connecting to the virtual universe, then heading toward Luo Si’s residence on Thunder Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Qing arrived at the living room of Luo Si’s residence, he found eight or nine Immortals gathered there—all former comrades from the same Stellar Peak Genius Tournament—but now, all wore expressions of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Qing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qing, you’re here too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Qing, those around him greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qing exchanged greetings with everyone, then quickly approached Luo Si and asked: “Luo Si, why did you gather us all here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si looked up at Lu Qing, then spoke with deep sorrow: “Lu Xiusi has perished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Luo Si’s words, Lu Qing was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Marquis Storm Lu Xiusi had passed the Heavenly Bridge’s fifteenth level even as a Lord, and upon breakthrough, immediately gained an Immortal Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering he had accumulated nearly ten million years within the Virtual Universe Corporation, and reportedly spent nearly ten million points to cultivate a Marquis-Initial auxiliary lifeform, even now that Lu Qing had reached the Marquis tier, he was certainly no match for Lu Xiusi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, Lu Xiusi—with such formidable survival power—had perished?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” Lu Qing urgently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, let me explain,” said Christopher beside him, glancing at Luo Si before speaking softly: “In recent years, Lu Xiusi and Luo Si have been roaming the Outland Battlefield together. The region they operated in had few experts, the strongest being only Marquis-Peak. With Lu Xiusi’s Marquis-tier strength, he faced virtually no mortal danger—his only drawback was slow wealth accumulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christopher glanced at Luo Si, then whispered, “Over the past few years, Lu Xiusi and Luo Si have been roaming the Outer Battlefield, but their region has few strong cultivators—the strongest being barely at the Marquis Peak level. With Lu Xiusi’s Marquis-level strength, he faces virtually no lethal danger, at most just slower wealth accumulation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding dangerous zones was precisely why Lu Xiusi and Luo Si had survived over a million years in the Outland Battlefield without fatal encounters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Lu Xiusi’s strength combined with his Marquis-tier auxiliary lifeform, even a Marquis-Peak expert could not harm him without burning immortal divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not long ago, Luo Si and Lu Xiusi encountered a small alien squad of only two Immortals. They attacked together and nearly instantly ended the battle—but one of the Immortals turned out to be a favored disciple of ‘Tiger Flame Marquis,’ a Marquis-Peak from the Demon Clan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christopher continued: “An hour ago, Tiger Flame Marquis led a group of Immortals to ambush Lu Xiusi and Luo Si, who knew nothing of the incident. Under the frenzied attack of burning immortal divine power, six of the eight members in their squad perished instantly. Only Luo Si and one other member were lucky enough to escape, encountering another human squad during their flight, and survived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christopher continued, “Just an hour ago, the Tiger Flame Marquis led numerous Immortals to ambush Lu Xiusi and Luo Si, who knew nothing of the matter. Under the frenzied assault of the enemy burning their Immortal power, six of the eight members in Luo Si’s squad perished outright; only Luo Si and one other member were lucky enough to escape and encounter another human faction’s elite team during their flight, allowing them to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such incidents were all too common on the Outland Battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing was extremely common on the Outer Realm battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original novel, Luo Feng had wandered the Outer Battlefield for thousands of years and encountered such incidents several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the elite squad Luo Feng joined when he first entered the Outer Battlefield was retaliated against after slaying an Immortal Deity; the mechanical race warrior whose weapon Luo Feng seized once gathered other strong warriors to ambush Luo Feng’s Golden Horn Giant Beast avatar; and the Purple Bell King Luo Feng encountered while seizing the altar’s treasure, among others…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lu Qingshan himself had encountered such situations several times during his own wanderings in the Outer Battlefield…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the original novel, Luo Feng’s strength was immense, and Lu Qingshan, though only a Domain Lord, had decent survival abilities, so they all narrowly escaped these crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si and the other had surely faced such incidents many times in the Outer Battlefield, but their luck this time was clearly terrible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This whole mess is my fault—my greed got the better of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Luo Si spoke in a low voice: “Lu Xiusi had planned to leave the Outer Battlefield fifty thousand years ago, but I kept wanting to hoard resources sufficient to push Kushi to the Marquis realm, so he stayed with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had left the Outer Battlefield with Lu Xiusi fifty thousand years ago, he wouldn’t have perished!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Si, don’t say that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Christopher quickly said: “Didn’t you return to the Outer Battlefield again because Lu Xiusi invited you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Immortal Deity also turned to Luo Si and comforted him: “Luo Si, the Outer Battlefield is inherently perilous—even Marquis Immortals can perish. Lu Xiusi chose to stay with you after careful thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Xiusi was the strongest among us all—yet he still perished in the Outer Battlefield!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! With Lu Xiusi gone, none of us in this generation remain as a Marquis Immortal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now is not the time to speak of this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christopher quickly said: “I recall Lu Xiusi’s family had only him as an Immortal. With his death, his family will surely suffer. We’ve known each other for so long—let’s think carefully and see what we can do for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember Lu Xiusi was from the Ancient Wheel Cosmic Nation, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Immortal Deity, ‘Gaelop’, quickly said: “I’m close with Sethis of the Ancient Wheel Division’s Commerce Bureau—I’ll ask him to look after Lu Xiusi’s family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m connected with the Ancient Wheel Cosmic Nation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the Immortal Deities offered suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Luo Si—who had invited them all—spoke directly: “You don’t need to trouble yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone turned to Luo Si. Christopher asked: “Luo Si, what do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave this matter to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si quickly said: “Though I barely escaped this time, I’ve lost over twenty percent of my divine power, and my auxiliary lifeform lost forty percent—nearly falling into dormancy. I estimate it will take me a very long time to recover my strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I plan to go straight to Lu Xiusi’s homeland and hold the line there. Even if I sacrifice everything I own, I will cultivate a new Immortal Deity for Lu Xiusi’s family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Si!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gaelop urged: “Cultivating an Immortal Deity isn’t simple—even many Marquis or King Immortal families never produce a second Immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si nodded: “So I’ll select the most talented individuals to cultivate. Even if I can’t succeed now, I believe that in hundreds of millions—or even billions or tens of billions of years—I will succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Luo Si’s words, Lu Qingshan felt deep emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world of Tunshixingkong , geniuses like Luo Feng—or even Bo Lan and Rong Jun—are exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talents like Lu Xiusi and Luo Si are the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they first began cultivating, they were dazzling, filled with bold ambition in the Outer Battlefield, hoping to advance greatly, acquire vast resources, and raise powerful auxiliary lifeforms…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the endless dangers of the Outer Battlefield, one fatal crisis can erase all their accumulated lifetimes of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Si was relatively lucky—he lost only part of his divine power. Lu Xiusi lost his life entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2975,"2026-06-20T09:18:16.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6305e119e600032ffd383d74a1192d56f1d5e9c601b49ec187eef79dededfbbe","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-79","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-77",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-cover.jpg"]
