The distant Demon Race Territory.
Inside a vast palace, Time-Space reverses—countless scenes play back at lightning speed, like video clips.
Much later.
"Certainly!"
A voice rang out, Time-Space accelerated once more, quickly merging completely with the real world.
In a corner of the palace, a colossal creature with golden and silver eyes appeared out of thin air.
His eyes held a hint of bewilderment; his memory remained stuck on the moment before his death.
"Wasn't I killed by the King Xue You in the Ancestral God Secret Realm? Why—"
Golden Eye King suddenly awoke, quickly realizing what was happening. He looked up at the top of the hall, his eyes filled with a hint of admiration.
"Greetings, Chief! Thank you for resurrecting me!"
The magnificent figure on the throne was the leader of their Space-Time Demon Beast race, a great Universe Master.
" Golden Eye King, you have used up your only chance for free resurrection. If you die again in the future, you will have to bear the cost of resurrection yourself."
A detached voice came from behind.
"Great leader, Golden Eye know."
"Although you have been resurrected, the Inheritance Token has disappeared, and you have lost the opportunity to Beast God Inheritance's legacy. That Inheritance Token is extremely precious; don't expect the clan to give you a second chance."
A flash of resentment crossed the Golden Eye King's eyes.
He hadn't provoked the King Xue You, yet he was killed by King Xue You and permanently lost his status Beast God Inheritor.
His ability to become Fourth Layer Inheritor at the Immortal stage indicates that he possesses exceptional talent in the Path of the Beast God. Unfortunately, without other fortuitous opportunities, he would never have had the chance to go to the Inheritance Land again.
"Chief, although I have lost the opportunity to Beast God Inheritance, I will not give up. I can still continue to cultivate using the clan's secret techniques. Even if that path is blocked, I can still pursue the Path of Time and Space. I am only a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the Time Law, and while I am slightly less proficient in the Law of Space, I have at least grasped one branch—"
"Well, become Time Venerable as soon as possible. Although you've lost the chance to inherit the legacy, with your talent, the chances of becoming Time Venerable are still very high. As for the Space Origin Law, there's no need to rush—"
"Yes, Golden Eye understands."
Golden Eye knelt on the ground.
After a long while, seeing that no more sound came, he slowly raised his head.
Looking at the vanished leader, and thinking of his own death, the loss of the True Treasure, and the precious opportunity for inheritance, flames surged in his eyes.
" King Xue You!!!"
"Damn King Xue You! If it weren't for King Xue You, I would be the pride of my tribe, and the chief wouldn't be so indifferent to me."
" King Xue You, you wait! Although I am no match for you now, once I become the Time Venerable, I will surely kill you!"
Golden Eye King was furious. He then contacted his friend who had previously received the inheritance from the Ancestral God Religion to inquire about King Xue You.
He had just confirmed that only two eras had passed since his death.
Two eras are far too short for a successor at the King Level!
" Golden Eye King, congratulations on your resurrection—I never expected to see you again so soon."
" Golden Eye King is a top genius among the Space-Time Demon Beast race. Their leader will definitely revive him immediately."
" Golden Eye King, wait until I return to the Demon Race, then we'll meet again."
One voice after another rang out, and the Golden Eye King wore a slight smile. Although he had lost the opportunity to become a successor, his strength and potential still surpassed most of the Demon Race's successors, and they remained very polite and respectful to him.
The Golden Eye King asked, "Is there any news about the King Xue You?"
" King Xue You ----"
The entire chat room fell silent.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? How is the King Xue You?" the Golden Eye King asked anxiously.
He had a vague, uneasy feeling.
" Golden Eye King, King Xue You —no, he should be Venerable Xue You now—just a short while ago, Venerable Xue You appeared in the Five Elements Space-Time of the Ancestral God Secret Realm. Our Demon Race's three Universe Venerable, Venerable Burning Annihilation, Venerable Lingxi, Venerable Shadow Fox, went to hunt him down, but all three Universe Venerable perished at the hands of Venerable Xue You."
"This—how is this possible?!"
The Golden Eye King was incredulous. He had only been dead for two epochs, yet the King Xue You had not only become Universe Venerable but had also simultaneously killed three Universe Venerable of their Demon Race?
" Golden Eye King, that Venerable Xue You is incredibly powerful. According to the estimates of our clan's Universe Venerable, he probably already possesses the strength of Universe Overlord. Recently, none of our Demon Race's inheritors have dared to go to the Ancestral God Secret Realm."
" Universe Overlord ----"
Golden Eye King was filled with utter despair!
Their Space-Time Demon Beast race, besides their leader, only has two Universe Overlord, who are figures he must treat with utmost respect. How could the King Xue You's strength have reached such a level?
If the King Xue You is so powerful, how can I possibly take revenge?
The thought of his initial ambition upon resurrection brought a flicker of fear and dejection to the Golden Eye King's eyes.
revenge?
Even if I become Universe Venerable, I am probably still far from being a match for that Venerable Xue You.
Instead of seeking revenge against the Venerable Xue You, you might as well just say you're going to your death!
" Golden Eye King, don't worry—although that Venerable Xue You is powerful, he's merely a Universe Venerable with no backing. Our Demon Race has two of the Universe Supreme Master, as well as numerous Universe Master. This Venerable Xue You has gone too far; the strong members of our race will definitely take action and kill him!"
"Yes, yes, the Venerable Xue You killed three Universe Venerable, so his clan will definitely retaliate. Perhaps he won't even need to take revenge himself; the Venerable Xue You will simply die—he has his clan to resurrect him, but if the Venerable Xue You dies, no one will be there to resurrect him!"
A renewed sense of desire rekindled in the Golden Eye King's heart.
Within the Ancestral God Religion, deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, lies a colossal palace.
Lu Qingshan looked at the old man in the gray robe, whose figure was hunched over like an Elder Gu pine tree, and spoke.
--
"This disciple greets the master."
The Old figure slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a smile flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"Excellent, excellent! In just two epochs, you have successfully broken through and become Universe Venerable!"
"My breakthrough is largely thanks to my teacher's guidance."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Indeed, if he hadn't followed the guidance of the Old Ancestral God and wandered the universe—successfully finding that opportunity—it would have been extremely difficult for him, with his accumulated experience, to break through and become Universe Venerable in a short time.
"The final step to becoming Universe Venerable can only be achieved by yourself; no one can help you. Your success is due to your own destiny. However, I didn't expect that you would cause such a commotion right after your breakthrough and return," the Old Ancestral God said nonchalantly.
Lu Qingshan naturally knew what the other party was talking about. He said coldly, "That demon Demon Race is going too far, targeting disciples at every turn. If we don't teach them a lesson they'll never forget, things will probably get even more troublesome in the future."
"Killing a few inheritors is nothing. You are my disciple, and the Demon Race won't dare to do anything to you. However, the Demon Race race is, after all, a race with the Universe Supreme Master. That strongest being is incredibly powerful. Although he is restricted in the Primal Universe, the strength he can unleash is still no weaker than my own—so you still need to be careful. It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them."
The Old Ancestral God said with a smile.
"Disciple understands."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
The Old Ancestral God was right, but that was from the perspective of his own Special Lifeform. If that were the case, making enemies with the Demon Race race would not be a good thing. But he was Human Race, and the hatred between him and the Demon Race race could not be resolved at all.
"As agreed before, once you become Universe Venerable, I will formally accept you as my disciple and announce the news publicly—in addition, I will bestow upon you another Supreme Treasure. You already possess the Palace Supreme Treasure and the Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, and now I will grant you an offensive Supreme Treasure. Is there any type of weapon you wish to acquire?"
The Old Ancestral God spoke slowly.
"Bestowed with Supreme Treasure, one can also choose its appearance—" Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "This disciple intends to use a sword as a weapon."
"A blade! You've been using claw spikes all this time, I thought you'd choose a claw spike-type Supreme Treasure."
The Old Ancestral God was slightly surprised. Although many powerful people did not use only one weapon, it was the result of countless years of accumulation, creating a variety of secret techniques. Venerable Xue You had only been cultivating for a short time, so it was already good that he had a set of secret techniques suitable for his weapon.
"Not long ago, I was fortunate enough to create a secret technique, which works quite well when used with a sword."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
He was referring to the Lotus of Water and Fire.
This is a supreme Peak Secret Technique of the Universe Overlord created solely by the Laws of Water and Fire, perfectly befitting his identity Venerable Xue You.
As for the true self, the Peak Secret Technique of Eternity of All Things, Universe Overlord, is more than enough.
Both Clone use sword techniques, which will make it easier to Creation Secret Technique in the future.
As for the Immortal Ultimate Secret Technique, Beast God Sky Rend Claw, which he created back then, it was no longer sufficient for the Xue You Clone, so he planned to discard it directly.
"Hmm." The Old Ancestral God did not ask any further questions. After a moment, he took out a Supreme Treasure War Blade.
Lu Qingshan stared intently.
The blade had the luster of black iron, was three feet seven inches long, and about five fingers wide. A dragon-like pattern meandered along the back of the blade, hidden in the cold, dark light, and could not be seen without careful observation.
The Old Ancestral God spoke, "This Supreme Treasure War Blade is called the Azure Chi Ink Abyss Blade. It is Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade, enough for you to use for a long time. Originally, I prepared a claw- Supreme Treasure for you, but since you chose the War Blade, I will give this War Blade to you."
" Top-tier Supreme Treasure— " A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
Although the weapon Supreme Treasure is the cheapest type among all Supreme Treasure, that's only in comparison to other treasures of the same level. This is Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade.
Even the weapons used by the Universe Master are only at this level.
He now possesses several Supreme Treasure, but the highest level is only High-grade Supreme Treasure. The two treasures he obtained in the Guixu Secret Realm — the Supreme Treasure War Blade and the armor—are merely Ordinary Supreme Treasure.
Thank you, teacher.
Lu Qingshan gripped the War Blade in his hand and said with heartfelt gratitude.
After becoming an apprentice of the Old Ancestral God, he received three Supreme Treasure in succession: a common top-grade Palace Supreme Treasure, High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, and this Top-tier Supreme Treasure War Blade.
This treatment far exceeds that of the personal disciples of Universe Master; even the personal disciples of the Universe Supreme Master may not receive such luxurious treatment.
This is the true essence of the Primal Universe's spokesperson!
Having become Universe Venerable, Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone officially became a disciple of the Old Ancestral God, becoming a direct descendant of the Ancestral God Religion Ancestral God Religion Sect, and holding a higher position in the sect than ordinary divine Divine General.
Not far from the Palace of the Old Ancestral God, in a palace flashing with lightning.
Human Race servants dressed in black robes paced back and forth, glancing occasionally at the sleeping Thunder Beast seated on the throne, a hint of urgency flashing in their eyes.
"Master—in just two epochs, that King Xue You has become Universe Venerable, and his strength is extraordinary! If you don't wake up soon, you'll miss this opportunity to take on a disciple!"
Although he knew that his master was asleep and it was almost impossible for him to wake up in just two epochs, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
Now, the Venerable Xue You is being watched by countless important figures, including the Guardian Divine Lord, other Beast God, and many other Guardian Beast God. Although most of them will give his master some face, not everyone will.
Although his master had guided the Venerable Xue You, if other Universe Master were to take on disciples first, his master would miss out on that exceptionally talented disciple.
Looking at the colossal beast on the throne, which showed no signs of waking up, the servant sighed.
"Hopefully, the information I sent out will have some effect, and that the others, out of respect for their master, won't accept that Xue You —what! The Old Ancestral God has officially accepted Venerable Xue You as his disciple?"
He had been following Glory World closely and received the news immediately.
