The Ancestral God Secret Realm, the Five Elements Archipelago.
This is an extremely peculiar place within the Ancestral God Secret Realm, where only inheritors at the Universe Venerable level are qualified to venture.
Because terrifying monsters live in this endless sea, and the place where you can obtain treasures is on those small islands in the endless sea. On these islands, there is something called the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, which is divided into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Five Elements Spirit Fruit plays an extremely important role in the cultivation of the Fusion Law and is of great value, second only to the Snow Demon Flower.
Although it is very valuable.
However, countless dangers lurk here, and even Universe Venerable must proceed with extreme caution when they come here.
Even Universe Venerable risks perishing if he provokes a terrifying monster from the boundless ocean.
Historically, more than one hundred Universe Venerable level have perished here.
The figure of Xue You Clone appeared in the sky above a small island.
His gaze fell upon the Five Elements Spirit Fruit fruit tree in the very center of the island.
"After searching for so long, we finally found a mature fruit tree, but unfortunately, only one of the seven fruits on it is almost ripe."
The Five Elements Spirit Fruit only have any effect after they ripen; otherwise, taking them back is meaningless. Furthermore, the Five Elements Spirit Fruit can only survive in this specific environment—and the Ancestral God Religion strictly forbids its destruction or transplantation.
Lu Qingshan landed on the island, looking at the Five Elements Spirit Fruit that was about to ripen; the fruit was of the wood element.
It has great benefits for cultivators with the wood attribute. Ordinary people can take one pill and directly enter the Wood Law, and will become geniuses in cultivating the Wood Law. The effect will be even better for inheritors of the Fusion Law.
"My deliberate exposure outside the Five Elements Secret Realm should have reached the ears of the Demon Race's Universe Venerable by now. I hope they send a few more Universe Venerable; please don't disappoint me."
Lu Qingshan waited quietly.
Three days, five days—half a month passed in the blink of an eye. A bright green fruit swayed precariously, and with a gust of wind—it suddenly broke free from the branch and flew away into the distance at an incredible speed.
However, Lu Qingshan only took one step, and his figure appeared on the boundless sea, raising his hand to grab the wood-attribute Five Elements Spirit Fruit.
"Good stuff—this Ancestral God Secret Realm is indeed full of treasures—"
Lu Qingshan examined the Five Elements Spirit Fruit for a moment, and just as he was about to put it away, suddenly—the waves rolled—and a huge wave rose up. A giant whale with black and white stripes appeared out of thin air, its huge head staring at Lu Qingshan —a hint of longing flashing in its eyes.
"Snort!"
The Xue You Clone snorted coldly, staring at the giant whale, a flash of blood-red light passing through its eyes.
"Buzzing!!"
The enormous whale with black and white stripes let out a mournful cry, then turned and plunged into the boundless sea, never daring to surface again.
"At least you know what's good for you!"
Lu Qingshan gave a faint smile.
This giant whale is also Special Lifeform. Not only is it enormous in size, but its genes are also more than a thousand times stronger. Although it is not Universe Venerable, its strength is comparable to that of Universe Venerable. Moreover, its strength is enhanced in this boundless ocean. Ordinary Universe Venerable may not be its match. However, for Lu Qingshan, it is nothing. It can only be said that the other party knows what's good for it. Otherwise, his whale life would have ended here!
Just as the Xue You Clone had scared away the giant whale.
At the entrance to the Five Elements Space-Time, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and three Universe Venerable arrived together.
These are the Demon Race's Venerable Burning Annihilation, Venerable Lingxi, and Venerable Shadow Fox.
"That King Xue You is quite bold. Even Universe Venerable of the Five Elements Space-Time would have to be extremely cautious if he came alone, yet he, a King-level Immortal God, dares to venture here."
A clear, crisp voice rang out; it was Venerable Shadow Fox spoke.
"Hmph, what an arrogant fool! I didn't stop him in the Ancestral God Secret Realm back then, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today!" Venerable Burning Annihilation sneered, harboring deep hatred for the King Xue You.
The fall of the Golden Eye King and the other two inheritors caused him to suffer a humiliation in front of the powerful figures of the Demon Race race—especially the Golden Eye King, who was a top genius of the Space-Time Demon Beast Race, one of only two among the countless inheritors of the Demon Race to become a fourth-level inheritor at the Immortal stage, and who would most likely become Universe Venerable in the future.
It can be said that after the King Xue You came to the Ancestral God Religion, he trampled on his face and became arrogant all the way.
If we were to ask who among the Demon Race hates the King Xue You the most, without a doubt, it would be the one who Venerable Burning Annihilation.
" The Five Elements Space-Time isn't very large. If we split up and search, we should find him soon. Although this guy is only King Rank, we still need to be careful. After all, he's Special Lifeform with extremely high talent. He might have a way to escape from the hands of Universe Venerable. If we provoke the terrifying creatures in this boundless ocean, even the Universe Venerable will be in great danger."
" The Venerable Lingxi is right. Once we discover it, don't rush to attack. Wait for the others to join us—the three of us working together, even High Venerable might not be a match for us. Taking down the King Xue You will be a piece of cake."
"Alright, it's settled then!"
The three separated, activated their detectors, and searched across the islands.
The Xue You Clone flew over the boundless sea for a long time before finally discovering another island where the Five Elements Spirit Fruit were about to ripen.
"It's a metal-attribute Five Elements Spirit Fruit. Judging from the current situation, it should only take about three years to mature. Let's wait and see!"
Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry.
He landed on a cliff face and waited for the Five Elements Spirit Fruit to ripen. He had absolutely no worries about the Demon Race's inheritor.
This is the Ancestral God Secret Realm, which even the Demon Race Universe Master cannot enter. The strongest Demon Race member within the Ancestral God Religion is merely Universe Overlord.
Even if they mobilized their entire forces, it wouldn't pose any threat to his Xue You Clone. Moreover, there's a very high probability that only ordinary Universe Venerable would arrive, such as the Venerable Burning Annihilation —after all, only one era had passed since his last appearance, and no one outside knew that he had broken through to the Universe Venerable; they all still thought he was just a King-level Immortal God.
To deal with a King-level Immortal God, the Demon Race wouldn't even stoop to sending Universe Overlord.
"No rush, they'll come to us on their own. Let's just wait for the Five Elements Spirit Fruit to ripen."
Lu Qingshan's gaze was fixed on the Five Elements Spirit Fruit that shimmered with Golden Flowing Light —three years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Three years later, the metal-attribute Five Elements Spirit Fruit ripened, and just like the wood-attribute Five Elements Spirit Fruit before it, it detached from the branch and flew towards the boundless sea in the distance.
The Xue You Clone easily caught the Five Elements Spirit Fruit in its hand and stored it in its World Ring.
He looked up.
In the distance, three Demon Race Universe Venerable appeared amidst the clouds.
" King Xue You, you're quite lucky; you actually managed to find a ripe Five Elements Spirit Fruit. But unfortunately, today is your death day."
The Venerable Burning Annihilation.
" King Xue You, you killed my Demon Race's Golden Eye King, Mad Beast King, and Black Crow King —and deceived countless inheritors of our Demon Race. You deserve to die!" Venerable Lingxi said in a muffled voice.
" King Xue You —although you are somewhat ugly, if you are willing to lay down your soul defenses and become my Soul Slave, we might spare your life." The petite body of the Venerable Shadow Fox trembled.
Hearing the three men's threats, Lu Qingshan remained unfazed, smiling as he asked, "Are the three of you the only Universe Venerable from the Demon Race who have come?"
Three aren't enough?
The Venerable Shadow Fox sneered.
"You don't need the three of you to help; I alone can kill you." The eyes of the Venerable Burning Annihilation flashed with fury.
"Enough with the nonsense. Only by capturing this guy and killing the King Xue You can we wash away the shame of our Demon Race."
Venerable Lingxi snorted coldly.
He is the strongest and has the most say.
After he finished speaking, the three Universe Venerable each made their move, holding nothing back, to kill the King Xue You.
King Xue You is Special Lifeform of the One-Horned Ghost King. He has no clan and no Universe Master to rely on. As long as he is killed, he cannot be resurrected. Their goal has been achieved.
Rumble!!
The secret techniques of the three Demon Race Universe Venerable were completely unleashed upon King Xue You.
The King Xue You did not dodge; his armor merely shimmered with a blood-red light.
"Is this the power of Universe Venerable? Too weak—you three idiots."
A mocking voice rang out.
The three Demon Race Universe Venerable were dumbfounded.
Their attacks would have injured even High Venerable, yet the King Xue You remained unscathed and could even mock them.
"That armor!"
The Venerable Shadow Fox looked at the armor on King Xue You's body.
"It's Supreme Treasure Armor! This King Xue You possesses Supreme Treasure Armor!" The greed in Venerable Lingxi's eyes was undisguised. Supreme Treasure Armor! His strength was close to that of High Venerable, yet he was only using Heavy Treasure Armor.
"Take him down! We must take him down!" Venerable Burning Annihilation went mad. Supreme Treasure Armor! A King-level Immortal God actually possesses Supreme Treasure Armor! They've really hit the jackpot this time!
The three attacked again, this time holding nothing back.
If they could defeat the King Xue You and seize the Supreme Treasure Armor, even if the three of them split it equally, it would still be a huge sum of money, far exceeding all their current assets.
" Demon Race scum, you don't believe me when I say you're stupid. I possess the Supreme Treasure Armor, how could I still only be King Rank?"
A slight smile appeared on the lips of the Xue You Clone.
Then he made his move.
" Space-Time Samsara!"
Endless force of Time-Space appeared instantly, completely covering the surrounding tens of millions of kilometers.
Within this space, gray currents, resembling Chaos, floated.
"Die!"
The word "death" is like the whisper of a demon.
The three Universe Venerable were horrified to discover that their divine bodies were being destroyed at an alarming rate.
"How is that possible!"
The Venerable Shadow Fox divine body was the smallest, was the first to succumb. A hint of despair flashed in her eyes, and she chose to self-destruct.
Unlike Immortal God Universe Venerable beings do not fall into slumber even if their divine bodies are reduced to one percent. However, with such a rapid rate of decline, it will probably not be long before they reach one percent.
If she hadn't self-destructed and fallen into a deep sleep, the things she had just said to the King Xue You would probably have come back to haunt her.
" King Xue You —no, he's already Universe Venerable, yet he possesses such terrifying Innate Secret Technique."
The Venerable Lingxi managed to hold on with the help of his top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor, but he still couldn't stop his divine body from deteriorating; he could only slow it down a bit.
"I'm not reconciled!"
boom!!
Another explosion occurred, Venerable Burning Annihilation also chose to self-destruct. His strength and treasures were average—he only lasted two seconds longer than Venerable Shadow Fox.
" Venerable Xue You —we, the Demon Race, will not let you go!"
Venerable Lingxi roared in anger, discovering that this secret technique seemed to have no time limit and continued unabated, while his divine body had less than ten percent remaining.
After uttering a curse, he passed the message on.
King Xue You broke through to the Universe Venerable, possessing Supreme Treasure Armor and a terrifying Innate Secret Technique. He killed Shadow Fox, Burning Annihilation, and three other Intermediate Universe Venerable!
After the news spread.
Without further hesitation, Venerable Lingxi also chose to self-destruct.
The self-destruction of the three did not have a significant impact on the Space-Time Samsara Secret Technique. Only after the three died did the Xue You Clone retract the secret technique.
After its second evolution, the Xue You Clone is now a unique and Special Lifeform, and the power of this secret technique has been enhanced countless times. Unlike the One- One-Horned Ghost King, it does not have a time limit and can be used at any time, so there is no question of wasting it.
He killed the three by simply using a conventional secret technique—if he had burned part of his divine body to do it, like in the Guixu Secret Realm —the three would have died in an instant, and he wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.
But clearly, these three Demon Race Universe Venerable are not yet qualified!
" The Demon Race must be thrilled this time. They'll definitely do anything to kill me. However, they'll soon receive news that I've become the personal disciple of the Old Ancestral God."
After glancing at the direction where the three Universe Venerable had fallen, the Xue You Clone did not linger in the Five Elements Space-Time and quickly and quietly left.
