Cannot accept apprentices?
Lu Qingshan remembered that the last time this happened was with his second senior brother Dragon Whale King.
His second senior brother was far stronger than him, while this little guy in front of him was only at the Universe Level Third Stage. Why was this happening?
" Hei Muming greets the Ancestor."
Hei Muming stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Lu Qingshan.
"You're also a genius from the Maple Leaf Empire?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
"Yes, Ancestor, my ancestral home is in the Beta Galaxy. Later, my teacher merged the Beta Galaxy into the Maple Leaf Empire, and I became a citizen of the Maple Leaf Empire."
Hei Muming answered respectfully.
"Oh."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Therefore, there's nothing wrong with calling himself the Ancestor, after all, he was the founder of the Maple Leaf Empire.
"Ancestor, I recently acquired a treasure while traveling through the universe. Could you please help me appraise it?"
"What is that?"
"Please look, Ancestor."
Hei Muming took out a box. The box was made of an unknown material and was designed to block spiritual energy, so even Lu Qingshan could not see what was inside.
A Universe Level, found a treasure, and now needs my help to authenticate it?
hehe...
Time Stagnation!
Just as Hei Muming was about to present the treasure to Lu Qingshan, his body suddenly froze on the spot.
A sudden gust of wind blew by, sending Hei Muming flying.
In the blink of an eye, we were high in the sky.
"Father!"
Lu Lingxiao was very surprised and didn't understand what had happened. The Time Stagnation earlier hadn't been aimed at him, so he had seen his father make a move with his own eyes.
However, as soon as Lu Lingxiao finished speaking, a loud bang resounded in the void outside the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Capital Star, like Star Level exploding, followed by a strong gust of air.
Although it wasn't at the epicenter of the explosion, the powerful aftershocks would likely obliterate most of the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Capital Star!
Lu Qingshan activated his Time Overlord Emperor Armor, instantly filling his body with a thousand times the World Lord Power. With a wave of his hand, a vast World Power emerged, blocking the aftershocks of the explosion.
despite this.
A few aftershocks of the explosion still lingered, and wherever these aftershocks reached, the skyscrapers on Black Dragon Mountain 'Imperial Capital Star collapsed in droves, as fragile as bubbles.
Even a wisp of aftershock caused countless deaths.
At the epicenter of the explosion, even Immortal God would likely perish!
Lu Lingxiao was stunned.
Seeing the astonishing explosion, he immediately understood what had happened, and his eyes filled with self-reproach and guilt.
He thought he had taken on a genius disciple, but it turned out to be the assassin who killed his father. The power of that explosion—if his father hadn't intervened, things might have been much worse...
Lu Lingxiao dared not think about the consequences!
If his father were to die because of him, even if he were to be shattered to pieces, he could not atone for his mistake!
Moments later, the aftershocks of the explosion subsided.
In the void, space is chaotic, and countless Space Fragment can even be seen with the naked eye.
Lu Lingxiao's disciple named Hei Muming was probably completely obliterated in such a violent explosion, not even a single cell remained.
"Father, Lingxiao is at fault, Hei Muming actually..."
Lu Lingxiao spoke with remorse.
" Lingxiao, there's no need to blame yourself. This isn't your fault. Hei Muming was probably just a puppet being enslaved."
This time, I was really grateful for the cheat code's reminder.
If he hadn't noticed the words "cannot accept disciples," which alerted him, he might never have imagined that his son's disciple would attempt to assassinate him.
Moreover, that powerful explosion just now was probably caused by a very high-grade Fire God Source Crystal. Judging from the explosion, it wasn't something that Hei Muming could actively control; it seemed more like a device that was activated in advance.
If he hadn't noticed, even with the Time Overlord Emperor Armor and the obstruction of the Immortal plant life, nothing would have happened, but Lu Lingxiao... and the Imperial Capital Star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire would probably have been reduced to ashes.
Then perhaps he will only have a chance to be resurrected after he possesses the power of Universe Master.
Lu Qingshan intervened to stop the aftershocks of the explosion because he didn't want innocent people to be implicated because of him.
This assassination attempt was targeted at him alone from beginning to end; Lu Lingxiao was completely unaware of the Alien Race's methods.
suddenly...
Lu Qingshan looked up at the void.
A noticeable spatial fluctuation appeared.
" Lingxiao, don't resist."
Lu Qingshan raised his hand and put Lu Lingxiao into his World Ring.
He then sent a distress message to the Ganwu Country Lord, released the Void Boat, and fled!
" Lu Qingshan, I can't believe you survived the explosion of the Fire God Source Crystal, but don't even think about escaping from me!"
The giant in the sky, clad in fiery red armor and wielding two massive hammers, grinned menacingly.
Space Lockdown?
Lu Qingshan discovered that his spaceship was unable to enter the Dark Universe.
"Boss, Master, the space is Space Lock! We can't escape." Xiao Jin's voice was anxious.
A being capable of Space Lockdown must be at least at the Peak King. Why would such a powerful individual come to the Human Race to assassinate me?
"Boom!!"
Under the state of Space Lockdown, the Void Boat had no way to escape the pursuit of the King-level Immortal.
He was hit by a hammer and tumbled several times.
Along with this came an even more vicious attack.
Soul Attack?
That's ruthless.
Besides the spaceship trembling violently, Lu Qingshan also sensed a powerful Soul Attack that pierced through the Void Boat and landed on him.
However, the power of this Soul Attack was not strong, seemingly only at the level of Initial King. It was almost entirely blocked by the Time Overlord Emperor Armor Helmet. Any minor omissions were directly absorbed by the Hall of Souls, and it could not cause any harm to Lu Qingshan at all.
However, if this move were used by other World Lord geniuses, the probability of them dying would probably be high.
After all, even among the geniuses at the Primordial Secret Realm Master level, very few possess a treasure that grants soul defense, and those with willpower comparable to a King are even rarer...
Hu Yanbo was Immortal God who was proficient in the soul, and he was killed by a single Soul Attack from the Demon Hand King, who was only at the Initial King!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Seemingly realizing that his Soul Attack was ineffective, the King-level Immortal became even more frenzied, relentlessly hammering the Void Boat with his great hammer.
"Boss, it hurts... it hurts..."
Despite its high level and the fusion of Metal Lifeform, the Void Boat was ultimately not free from the limitations of an F-class spaceship, and its appearance had already suffered severe damage.
If this continues, Lu Qingshan's first Metal Lifeform will likely perish along with the spaceship.
"His physical attack strength is also at the Initial King. He's going crazy trying to kill me, so he definitely won't dare to stall for time and wouldn't be hiding his strength!"
" Xiao Jin, let me out."
The next moment, Lu Qingshan appeared in the starry sky, and the Void Boat was stored in his World Ring.
"Who are you? Which side are you on? Why are you trying to kill me?"
A wooden sword appeared in Lu Qingshan's hand; it was the Banyan Wood Banyan Wood Divine Blade Banyanwood Race.
Compared to the True Treasure Dark Moon Blade, this blade is more suitable, allowing one to unleash their full power.
"Enough with the nonsense, Lu Qingshan, you're dead today!"
The King-level Immortal God held the double hammers seemed to have seen through Lu Qingshan's scheme to stall for time and did not fall for it. The moment Lu Qingshan appeared, he attacked him.
Time Stagnation!
Lu Qingshan retreated rapidly, maintaining a safe distance from the King-level Immortal.
These Alien Race that assassinate in the heart of human territory are usually suicide soldiers, and they might even drag him down with them and self-destruct. With the Time Overlord Emperor Armor, Lu Qingshan could only activate the First Layer the secret runes. The self-destruction of King-level Immortal still posed a great threat to him.
So once he left the spaceship, he had his own ideas: instead of confronting the enemy head-on, he chose to fly a kite and wait for reinforcements to arrive!
He observed the King-level Immortal charging towards him; the opponent's figure paused for 0.01 seconds when he used Time Stagnation.
"It works!"
Time Stagnation was, after all, one of the smaller branches of the art that Lu Qingshan mastered most deeply, and it was effective even for Initial King.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan was also certain that the person in front of him was not at the Peak King at all, but only at the Initial King. As for the Space Lockdown, it was probably the effect of some treasure!
Just like the runic weapon in the Sacrificial Tower Treasure that Luo Feng obtained, it also has the ability to Space Lock the void.
This treasure, regardless of its form, is priceless!
" Star-Eating Grass... entangle him."
As Lu Qingshan retreated, Three-Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass instantly appeared in front of him, shielding Lu Qingshan behind them.
Its body is comparable to Star Level, and each of its vines is hundreds of thousands of kilometers long.
Lu Qingshan doesn't need to give orders.
As soon as the Star-Eating Grass appeared, countless serrated vines, like sturdy chains, swept towards the King-level Immortal opposite them.
They instantly overwhelmed the other party.
The Star-Eating Grass with three hundred vines, though only at the peak of the Peak Marquis, still showed no fear when facing Initial King.
"Damn it... How could he possess such a terrifying plant life form as the Star-Eating Grass with three hundred vines!"
The towering figure of the King-level Immortal was like an ant before the Star-Eating Grass.
boom!!
A Star-Eating Grass vine that had been binding the King-level Immortal exploded, and King-level Immortal, wielding twin hammers, could break free, another vine wrapped around him.
The vines that had just sprouted quickly returned to normal.
Those Marquis Immortal possess Undying Body, Star-Eating Grass at its Peak Marquis naturally possesses the same ability.
It's virtually impossible for a Initial King to kill it!
The Star-Eating Grass's countless intertwined vines blocked Lu Qingshan's path, forming a solid plant fortress. Even if the King-level Immortal were to go mad, he would be unable to reach Lu Qingshan.
Millions of kilometers away in the war zone.
The Black Dragon God Lord suddenly appeared, stopped in his tracks, and looked ahead with an incredulous expression.
He rushed over immediately after the Fire God Source Crystal exploded, but now he dares not take a step closer.
" 300-Vine Star-Eating Grass! A terrifying plant life form at the Peak Marquis!!"
"And that one, even 300-Vine Star-Eating Grass couldn't do anything to him, he's probably a King Rank expert!"
"What kind of luck did my Black Dragon Mountain Empire have to attract two such beings to fight here?"
At that moment, two more beams of light appeared.
It was Ward in his golden armor, and the burly Mundo.
"Big brother, this!"
Mundo was shocked and stopped in his tracks, while the Golden Armor World Lord intended to continue forward.
" Ward, what are you doing?"
The Black Dragon God Lord stood in Ward's way.
"In a battle between such powerful individuals, even a slight aftershock could kill you!"
"Big brother, Lingxiao lives over there."
The Golden Armor World Lord was somewhat anxious.
The Black Dragon God Lord was startled. Lu Lingxiao was that person's only son. If he died here, even if it had nothing to do with him, he would probably be implicated.
"No, Ward, your disciple is already at the World Lord Level. If he were still alive, he would have already escaped. There's no point in you going there!"
In the end, he made a decision: he couldn't let his brother go to his death.
"Yes, Ward, Lingxiao is World Lord Level. As long as he wasn't hit by the aftershocks of their battle, he must have already escaped. You can contact him through the Virtual Universe."
Mundo quickly reminded him.
"Yes, yes, I contacted him through the Virtual Universe. I must have lost my mind."
After being reminded, Ward immediately contacted his disciple in the Virtual Universe.
Then, his expression became even more shocked!
