The Black Butcher Holy Land Universe, in the void.
The Black Butcher Progenitor deftly retrieved a low table made of some kind of black wood from his storage space, and then magically arranged countless dishes and two jugs of fine wine on it.
Although the side dishes weren't particularly refined, each one exuded an enticing aroma, clearly indicating that they had been carefully prepared.
Lu Qingshan didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down opposite the Black Butcher Progenitor, picked up the rough earthenware wine cup in front of him, sniffed it gently, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "Good wine."
The Black Butcher Progenitor grinned and poured himself a cup. "If Master Xue You likes it, I'll send you a few jars later. This wine was brewed by my own hands before I went through reincarnation. It's been stored for countless Reincarnation Era, and every jar I drink is one less available. The taste is still quite good."
The two drank a few cups together and talked about the interesting things that had happened in the Universe Ocean recently.
It was from the Black Butcher Progenitor that Lu Qingshan learned that the internal structure of the Primal Universe had changed. After the Master of Eternal Abyss of the Sea Race broke through to the True God Level, he began to counterattack against the Demon Race. In recent years, the Demon Race Clan has suffered repeated defeats, and its foundation in the Primal Universe has become weaker and weaker.
With the birth of the second True God Level being among the Sea Race, the Demon Race was completely suppressed and unable to retaliate. At this moment, the Demon Race Alliance has basically disbanded, with only a few die-hard followers of the True God of Ten Thousand Demons still following him...
Lu Qingshan was not surprised that the Sea Race could give birth to two True God in succession.
The inheritance he gave to the Master of Eternal Abyss, though ordinary, was absolutely crucial for the country bumpkin of the Third Reincarnation Era of the Primal Universe.
For example, the Master of Eternal Abyss, the Master of Tides... They were able to become Universe Master in the early stages of the Primal Universe, and even reached the limit of Universe Master. Their talents were in no way inferior to those of the Giant Axe Founder... It is normal for them to go further under the guidance of their inheritance.
The Black Butcher Progenitor also spoke about things that happened after surviving the cycle of reincarnation. Although the Will of the Original Universe interfered, the Black Butcher Progenitor wasn't stupid; he could subtly reveal a lot of information by rephrasing it.
The Black Butcher Progenitor said that after he went through reincarnation, he came to live in a border city of a certain country, opened a small restaurant, and lived a pretty good life.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
At this moment, he was completely certain that this Black Butcher Progenitor was the Black Butcher he knew.
Now that Luo Feng has also arrived at the Black Butcher Holy Land Universe Sea, if he manages to pass through reincarnation in the future and sees the Black Butcher again, it will not be an accidental encounter, but a reunion with an old friend!
After several rounds of drinks, Lu Qingshan put down his wine cup, stood up, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Progenitor. I have some matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
The Black Butcher Progenitor did not try to stop him, but stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Farewell. Master Xue You is welcome to visit my Holy Land Universe at any time."
"Must!"
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, turned around, and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, disappearing into the depths of the Chaos airflow.
On the outskirts of the Star Ruins, on fragments of starlight.
In just a moment, Lu Qingshan returned to his palace on the outskirts of the Star Ruins and found the Master of Stone Steps in seclusion. His aura was fluctuating, indicating that he was creating some kind of secret technique.
Lu Qingshan did not disturb them, only leaving a divine power mark to indicate that he had been there, and then turned and flew towards the deeper part of the Star Ruins.
After gaining the Eye of Wisdom, Lu Qingshan sensed a faint sense of crisis in the deepest part of this Star Ruins.
Let's come again this time.
The sense of crisis has subsided somewhat.
However, the feeling still lingers; there must be some secrets hidden within these Star Ruins.
Luo Feng emerged from the Sunken Moon Pool, and it was unclear how long it would take. Lu Qingshan, having nothing else to do, also planned to explore the depths of the Star Ruins.
After lingering briefly in the palace, he flew deeper into the Star Ruins once more. He traveled very quickly, arriving in the Inner Domain in just a few days.
He continued forward, sensing the faint sense of danger as he went.
The deeper you go, the more desolate the surrounding scenery becomes.
Originally, some ruined palaces could still be seen, but later only a vast expanse of empty space remained, with a few huge meteorite fragments occasionally drifting by, all covered with traces of the erosion of time.
Guided by the Eye of Wisdom, Lu Qingshan continued forward. The Universe Ocean, Desperate Land posed a threat even to True God, was now like a calm river, which Lu Qingshan swam freely within. He encountered no significant dangers along the way.
After flying for several hundred years, a shattered palace finally appeared ahead.
The palace was larger than any building he had ever seen in the Star Ruins. Even though most of the palace had collapsed, the remaining part still resembled a mountain floating in the void.
The palace walls were covered with dense ancient runes, most of which were now blurred, but the lingering aura still sent shivers down one's spine.
Lu Qingshan stopped several light-years away from the palace, his gaze falling on the enormous figure deep within the palace that seemed to be sleeping.
It was a Star Demon covered in dark gray scales, several times larger than the Level 8 Star Demon he had seen in the Inner Domain of the Star Ruins, resembling a floating island.
" Star Demon at the Void True God Level... I never imagined that a Star Demon at the Void True God level would be hidden in the deepest part of the Star Ruins. No wonder I felt a sense of crisis."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
According to what he knew, the highest level of the Star Demon in these Star Ruins was only the Level 10. That Star Demon had existed for countless Reincarnation Era and had yet to be killed by anyone.
This is normal.
The Star Demon itself is of little value; its flesh and blood have all decayed. Only its Star Core has some use, serving as a material for refining weapons. However, compared to the price paid to kill the Star Demon, the Star Core's usefulness is negligible.
If killing the Star Demon yields no unexpected gains, it would be almost a waste of effort. He didn't rush closer, but first surveyed the surroundings to confirm there were no other hidden threats before slowly flying forward.
As he stepped into the area of the shattered palace, the Star Demon suddenly turned around.
Its eyes, like two burning gray flames, stood out starkly against the dark void.
In an instant, the Star Demon locked onto Lu Qingshan's figure, like a giant mountain, slowly pressing down on him.
Lu Qingshan did not back down.
A golden light shone behind him; it was the Chaos Golden Wings he had recently mastered.
Among the treasures of the Wu Kingdom, there were over a hundred Chaos Golden Wings. Lu Qingshan took one out for his own use. After all, there were many of these, and they could be replaced. However, the Wings of Time and Space were a rare find, so Lu Qingshan stored them in his Universe Boat Wings of Time and Space.
The secret runes are activated instantly.
"Buzz!"
The moment the Third Layer layer of secret runes was activated, the Chaos Golden Wings burst forth with dazzling golden light, like a golden tide that enveloped the void within a radius of hundreds of light-years.
One Thought Void.
The Chaos Golden Wings were designed for combat. Its Third Layer of Supreme Treasure runes is imprinted with the One Thought Void, which is even more powerful than the One Thought Void cast by an ordinary Void True God. One Thought Void descended, the Star Demon's movements suddenly froze, and its speed decreased sharply. It let out a low roar, and its scales flashed wildly as it tried to break free from this restraint.
However, Lu Qingshan did not give it a chance to break free.
It directly activated the energy source inside the Chaos Golden Wings.
The jewel-like energy source at the base of the Chaos Golden Wings suddenly lit up, and golden blades of light flew out, transforming into a sea of blades that slashed straight at the head of the Star Demon.
The power of this strike has reached the limit of Void True God, and it can even vaguely touch the level of Eternal True God.
This was still Lu Qingshan's deliberate restraint, after all, the source energy of the Chaos Golden Wings is diminishing with each use, and there is absolutely no need to waste it.
The Star Demon was already cumbersome, and its movement was restricted under the suppression of the One Thought Void.
At this moment, Endless golden blades slashed at the Star Demon's body, making it impossible for him to dodge.
"Pfft pfft pfft!!!"
The Star Demon's gray-black scales shattered instantly, as if made of paper, and then countless blades pierced through them completely.
The Star Demon let out a final, unwilling roar as its massive body was pierced by countless light blades, turning into pieces of flesh before finally disintegrating completely in the void.
The Star Demon, Void True God Level, could be considered the ultimate boss in this Universe Ocean, yet it was killed by Lu Qingshan in less than a second. Immediately afterward, he raised his hand and grabbed a silver-gray Star Core.
The Star Core felt warm to the touch, containing extremely pure soul power, many times stronger than the Level 8 Star Core he obtained in the Inner Domain the Star Ruins.
" Star Core of this level is more than enough to refine Soul Defense Supreme Treasure at the True God Level."
After confirming that the Star Core was of high quality enough to forge Soul Supreme Treasure, Lu Qingshan put it away.
He glanced in the direction where the Star Demon had disappeared, then stepped into the interior of the shattered palace.
The palace interior was much cleaner than he had imagined. Although the walls were full of cracks and the floor was collapsed in many places, some of the deeper areas still retained a relatively intact structure.
He discovered a silver-white, disc-shaped object in a corner deep within the palace, its surface engraved with intricate mechanical patterns.
" Mechanical Flow Secret Treasure at the level of Void True God..."
Lu Qingshan picked it up and examined it for a moment, confirming that it was fully functional, before putting it away.
Beside the disc, there was also an Elder Gu, yellowed scroll.
He unfurled the scroll, glanced at it, and then paused slightly.
The scroll contains a highly obscure and secret technique for concealment. This technique has no name, and its effects are quite peculiar; it can completely integrate the user's will into a specific vessel.
This medium can be a treasure, a suit of armor, or even an ordinary Stone.
Once absorbed into it, the fluctuations of will completely dissipate, making it impossible to detect...
"This secret technique has a very high ceiling, but its effects seem somewhat lackluster, completely incomparable to the concealment techniques passed down from the Wu Kingdom Inheritance..." Lu Qingshan carefully read through the contents of the scroll and raised an eyebrow slightly.
What's the point of infusing a wisp of consciousness into an object, even if it goes undetected?
Unless there is a matching resurrection technique, even a sliver of consciousness can be easily resurrected.
Resurrection Secrets...
consciousness.
Suddenly, Lu Qingshan thought of something, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
Although this secret method is very unorthodox, it may still be effective!
He walked out of the palace and found a relatively flat meteorite to sit on.
Next, he took out an ordinary gray Stone. This Stone had almost no effect, except that it was extremely hard and could be used to forge a weapon-making platform. If you didn't know its effects, no one would even glance at such Stone if it were placed by the roadside.
He closed his eyes and, following the method described on the Elder Gu scroll, carefully extracted a wisp of consciousness and merged it into the Stone.
The secret method is very simple.
Lu Qingshan succeeded on his first try.
He opened his eyes. The Stone in his hand was still ordinary and unremarkable, seemingly unchanged. However, Lu Qingshan knew that there was a wisp of his consciousness inside the Stone.
As long as he doesn't actively reveal himself, even he himself won't be able to detect this wisp of consciousness.
"It should be fine, right?"
Lu Qingshan wasn't entirely sure either.
But he still decided to give it a try.
He raised his hand and gently swept it across the void, and a barely perceptible ripple of Time-Space appeared, quickly forming a distorted hole of light.
Within the distorted light hole, the outline of another dimensional Universe Ocean can be vaguely seen.
Within that cosmic dimensional sea, two colossal entities exist: one is the Primal Universe, and the other is Small Universe... "I wonder if this is feasible?"
Lu Qingshan flicked his finger, and the gray Stone flew into the light cave, instantly disappearing into the torn void.
The Time-Space rift slowly closed, as if it had never existed.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the direction where the crack disappeared, stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from his robes, and turned to fly towards the outer edge of the Star Ruins.
