In the Killing Field.
Under the pressure of powerful world power, Lu Qingshan remained just as nimble, dozens of phantom bodies constantly shifting positions, leaving the ferocious World Lord Ninth Stage expert opposite him helpless.
After a hundred breaths, Lu Qingshan stopped resisting, and a furious slash brimming with world power ended his life.
Soon, his body materialized again...
"The third level of Thunderlight Flash-even the world power of a World Lord Ninth Stage expert can't effectively restrict me. If I put everything into dodging and have enough space, even a World Lord Ninth Stage expert acknowledged by a lower origin law can't inflict sufficient damage on me!"
That was what made the higher Time Law so terrifying.
Before this, his second-level Thunderlight Flash had left Lu Qingshan almost powerless against the world power of a World Lord Ninth Stage expert.
He could only barely hold his own against an early-stage World Lord.
This improvement was far more than a hundredfold.
Lu Qingshan now had a clear understanding of his strength.
Against first- or second-stage World Lords, his nimble movement and powerful Law of Lightning would allow him to kill them!
Beyond World Lord Fifth Order, their world power would be an obstacle he could not break through, but they would likewise be unable to do anything to him!
Only core Domain Lords and World Lords from major factions like Golden Sword, who had mastered higher origin laws, could pose a threat to him. Such people were exceedingly rare even among World Lords, let alone Domain Lords-there might not be one in ten thousand!
With a grade E or higher spaceship as well, Lu Qingshan could now easily escape pursuit by a group of World Lords.
Even among World Lords, few could match this ability to preserve his life.
Lu Qingshan thought of Time World Lord Luo, who was very famous in the Black Dragon Mountain Galaxy. He had probably mastered some kind of time-fusion move, which allowed him to escape easily from Immortals and even contend with ordinary Immortal Army Lords!
He was an astonishingly brilliant genius. Had he not been trapped in a mystic region, wasting a great deal of his precious lifespan, he might truly have had the potential to become a Marquis Immortal!
Even if he was not a Second-Class Genius, he was at least a Third-Class Genius.
A Third-Class Genius at the Peak World Lord level-that would open up a much wider range of things he could bestow. Lu Qingshan quietly made a note of it. If he had the chance to take Luo as a disciple in the future, he could lend him a hand.
Of course, if Luo would not take him as his master, then forget it...
Helping Luo break through to Immortal would certainly cost an enormous amount. Lu Qingshan would not do something with no return.
"Nasus, let me see my panel."
Lu Qingshan gave the instruction.
"Yes, Master."
Nasus displayed a data panel.
Name: Lu Qingshan Age: approximately 90,000 universe years Realm: Domain Lord Ninth Stage Laws: Lightning Origin Law 10%, Light Origin Law 1.1%, Time Origin Law 0.12% Secret techniques: Ten Thunder Revolutions, Nine Thunder Blades, Thunderlight Flash... omitted Treasures: omitted...
The numerical panel provided a more intuitive display of his full strength. Lu Qingshan looked at the entry for the Time Law. Although it was less than one percent, it had brought him a tenfold improvement.
"Nasus, optimize the panel. Remove the age, techniques, and treasures entries, and add disciple subpanels..."
"Yes, I'll optimize it for you right away."
Before long, the optimized panel appeared again. Sure enough, Lei Ming, Parisi, and his newly accepted disciple Ling Yu had all been added.
Of the three disciples, Ling Yu had the most impressive stats: two ninth-level domains, the Lightning Origin Law, and the Wind Origin Law.
She practically insta-killed Lu Qingshan's previous two disciples.
"Just what race are these sisters, Ling Yu and Ling Xi? Where did they come from? Why is their talent so astonishing?"
A spark of curiosity stirred in Lu Qingshan's heart. Once they became more familiar with each other, he could ask them.
And what exactly was this [One-Horned Ghost King] bloodline?
Only Ling Yu seemed to have it; he had not seen it on her younger sister Ling Xi.
"Nasus, search for the One-Horned Ghost King Bloodline!"
Lu Qingshan was somewhat curious about this bloodline. After all, the system had specifically marked it out. He also suspected that the sisters' outstanding talents might have a great deal to do with it.
Nasus quickly searched all the knowledge on the currently accessible network, then shook his pitch-black dog head and said, "Master, I haven't collected any useful leads... According to my estimate, there's a 96.56% probability that our access privileges are insufficient, and the information has been concealed by the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe..."
It seemed this One-Horned Ghost King was probably even rarer than a pinnacle race like the Golden Horned Beast. After all, Lu Qingshan's intelligent life could find information on Golden Horned Beasts and Glacier Beasts.
Since his access privileges were insufficient to find any useful information, Lu Qingshan stopped dwelling on it. In any case, this mystery would surely be unraveled in the future...
Perhaps once he broke through to Immortal or became a Core Member of one of the Five Giants, this hidden information would become available to him.
Next, Lu Qingshan had the Killing Field simulate that Domain Lord Golden Sword from last time again.
The Killing Field could not simulate his specific details, but it could create a similar opponent based on Lu Qingshan's settings.
That genius with his proficient mastery of the Space Origin Law had left a very deep impression on Lu Qingshan.
Less than a minute later.
Lu Qingshan's body materialized again.
"I improved quite a bit this time. At least I wasn't insta-killed. His mastery of the Space Origin Law far exceeds my mastery of the Time Origin Law. The gap is too great!"
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to lower the requirements a little, a voice call came through.
Lu Qingshan checked the name and accepted the call.
On the other end was Chi Yan, who liked wearing red robes. "Brother Qingshan, congratulations on entering the Ganwu Mystic Region! I only just returned from a mission and heard the news. I knew you were a genius, brother. You certainly wouldn't waste away in a First-Class Instructor position."
Lu Qingshan found this amusing. That was not what Chi Yan had said last time.
"Brother Chi Yan, you didn't come looking for me today just to reminisce, did you?" Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Chi Yan picked up his wine flask and took a large gulp, then shook his head. "Of course not. What a wonderful place the Ganwu Mystic Region is! Why would I disturb your cultivation? I ran into something strange this time, and I thought I should tell you about it."
"Oh? What happened?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Chi Yan let out a wine-scented belch and said, "The instructors at the Ganwu Dojo all know we're close. When I got back this time, a few instructors I wasn't familiar with suddenly started asking about you. I felt something wasn't quite right. If they wanted to congratulate you on entering the Ganwu Mystic Region, couldn't they just send you an email? Nothing's happened on your end recently, has it?"
"Oh, I understand. It's nothing. Don't worry about it, Brother Chi Yan." Lu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged.
"Mm, as long as you know what's going on. You're in the Ganwu Mystic Region anyway. Even if the sky falls, it won't land on you. Ah, the Ganwu Mystic Region. I wonder if I, Chi Yan, will ever have the chance to go inside and see its sights in this lifetime."
"Hehe, with your talent, Brother Chi Yan, you'll definitely break through to World Lord someday. Joining the mystic region will be no problem then."
After ending the voice call, Lu Qingshan's expression darkened slightly.
This Treasure Pavilion really wasn't behaving itself.
