Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 191 A Powerful Treasure!
"Time-Traveling Overlord Armor!"

That's a pretty imposing name.

Lu Qingshan appeared in his inner world in a flash, and immediately, a golden suit of armor appeared in front of him.

"It seems to have some similarities with the armor used by the King Immortal that I obtained from the previous transaction with the Ghost King's clone."

Lu Qingshan observed the appearance of the Time Overlord Armor.

It looks very impressive.

I just don't know what level this is...

Lu Qingshan had carefully selected the locations for this rebate. During the ten thousand years that the Ghost King's avatar had spent meditating in Lu Qingshan's Chaos City, it had traveled to many places.

Relying on the memories passed down, he traveled to distant territories beyond human reach. Possessing excellent disguise abilities, the Ghost King's clones can impersonate any race with ease. As long as they do not encounter any alien venerables and a conflict occurs, they will generally go unnoticed.

Using his ability to disguise himself, the Ghost King's clone made many friends from other races and even participated in many trade fairs among them.

At a trade fair, he immediately took a liking to the 'Starry Gold Armor' he had given to Luo.

The main reason is that this armor is so comprehensive.

Not only can it defend against physical attacks, but the included helmet can also defend against soul attacks. Crucially, wearing the armor also provides a slight boost to one's strength.

This armor was originally offered for trade by an alien race. The Ghost King's clone competed with many other alien races, and in the end, he only managed to acquire the armor by offering a large amount of Locke Divine Water.

Its value is approximately 8 million Chaos Units...

Of course, the alien races did not use the mixed units, but the value of the Locke Divine Water was not much different.

To acquire this armor, Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone took considerable risks. When leaving, he was intercepted by a peak Marquis-level alien. Fortunately, the Ghost King clone's talent included time acceleration, allowing him to escape quickly and avoid being surrounded by others during the battle!
Afterwards, the Ghost King's clone returned to the human territory via teleportation through the Star-Eating Grass God Kingdom.

Before heading to Chaos City, Lu Qingshan's main body gave the Ghost King's clone a large amount of resources, including half of the Locke Divine Water, several immortal divine weapons, and two Star-Eating Grass seedlings.

Over the years, only one of the two Star-Eating Grasses was cultivated by the Ghost King's clone. It only had 108 vines that broke through to the Immortal realm. However, it was enough to help with teleportation in the Divine Kingdom or to deal with some opponents at the initial stage of the Marquis level.

"Let's acknowledge Him as our master first!"

Lu Qingshan imprinted his spiritual mark onto the Time Overlord Armor, successfully gaining access to the armor. After he recognized it as his master, secret patterns appeared on the Time Overlord Armor.

There are three layers of secret patterns.

At the same time, information about the Time Overlord Armor also appeared in Lu Qingshan's consciousness.

"This is actually a treasured piece of armor!"

Lu Qingshan was shocked.

The heavy armor is already considered to be one of the most valuable treasures among all treasures.

For example, the Youyue Blade bestowed by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom could probably be exchanged for hundreds of such blades.

Lu Qingshan originally thought that he could get a top-tier immortal divine weapon or a pseudo-treasure in return, but he did not expect to get a real treasure.

This can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

"Luo, you really are my lucky star!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh. Although Luo didn't even know that he was his teacher, it didn't stop Lu Qingshan from paying special attention to him.

There's no way around it, who wouldn't love a treasure trove!

Luo is Lu Qingshan's only second-class genius immortal god disciple, and also an immortal military lord who is close to being enfeoffed as a marquis. Whether it is the standard of bestowal or the cashback brought to him, it is the highest, without a doubt.

For example, even if we gave this Starry Gold Armor to those immortal military lords like Jieming, it wouldn't meet their requirements and wouldn't bring any cashback. Even if we gave them a hundredfold cashback, it wouldn't be possible for Lu Qingshan to have a treasured armor!
The key point is that this precious armor has such incredible power.

Three layers of secret patterns.

Activating the first layer of secret runes grants immunity to all material and soul damage below the initial stage of Kinghood; exceeding the limit reduces damage by 99%.

Activating the second layer of secret runes grants immunity to all material and soul damage below the peak of the King-level realm, and reduces damage by 99% beyond the limit.

Activating the third layer of the secret rune reduces the physical and soul damage of the Cosmic Venerable by 99%.

Moreover, once this Time Overlord Armor is activated, even if there is only one layer of secret runes, it will grant a power boost of 1000 times the power of a Realm Lord!

It's called a treasure, but it's actually equivalent to the effects of three treasures: physical defense, soul defense, and power enhancement.

In the primordial universe, creating such a treasure would be as difficult as creating a supreme treasure, making it an absolute losing proposition.

Of course, these costs are not a concern when it comes to cashback from Goldfinger.

Great!

Lu Qingshan, who was initially somewhat worried about the battlefield outside the region, is now basically not worried at all.

Regarding the battlefield outside the region, his only concern was the Soul Master.

Although his clone is special, it may not be able to withstand the soul master's soul enslavement. If he can safely self-destruct, that's fine, but if his soul defense is breached, then he will be completely finished.

But now, with the soul defense of this treasure weakened by 99%, coupled with his constantly honed will and the solidly constructed Soul Palace, even a soul master like the Heavenly Array King would find it virtually impossible to kill him with his soul, let alone enslave him!

Even if he were to accidentally encounter the invincible King and be killed, he would only lose a great treasure. Lu Qingshan could still use the Ghost King's clone to recreate his original self.

The appearance of this precious armor dispelled Lu Qingshan's last worry.

Lu Qingshan put on the armor and carefully studied the secret runes on it. The runes were very complex, but armor is ultimately for human use. After about half a month, Lu Qingshan finally found some clues.

He estimated that it would take him about three years to master the first layer of the armor's runes.

This armor looks so cool.

Its golden appearance makes it stand out from the crowd, making it suitable for spoiled rich kids who like to show off. For a low-key person like Lu Qingshan, it's a bit too high-profile.

However, Lu Qingshan had mastered a trace of the secret runes, which allowed him to adjust the appearance of the armor.

Soon, the originally golden armor gradually turned gray, and its design became less flamboyant, bearing some resemblance to the standard equipment of the immortal gods on the outer battlefield.

This way, no one would be able to tell that the armor is special. The armor can block detection, unlike Lu Qingshan who is bound to a master, so it is impossible to judge the level of the armor.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Qingshan devoted himself to comprehending the secret patterns on the treasure, and finally managed to thoroughly understand the first layer of secret patterns.

He immediately activated the first layer of power of the treasure, and instantly, Lu Qingshan felt his strength increase countless times.

"What a powerful force!"

Lu Qingshan was amazed.

Originally, relying on his own understanding of the laws, Lu Qingshan could easily defeat his guard commander, Udyr. But now, with the boost of a thousand times the power of a realm lord, Lu Qingshan felt that he could destroy Udyr's divine body with just his strength.

and……

"amplitude!"

Lu Qingshan used the Time Body to instantly increase his amplitude to 16 times. If he were to unleash a strike at this moment, the entire Wuchen Continent would probably tremble.

With 1000 times the power of a Realm Lord, and combined with the amplitude effect, the sheer power has reached 16000 times the power of a Realm Lord.

If it weren't for the Blood Crystal's enhanced effect being covered by the Heavy Treasure Armor, it would have been even more terrifying.

This is normal. Blood Crystal itself enhances one's physical strength, while Time Overlord Armor is based on increasing physical strength, not doubling it.

As long as the amplitude is usable, it's already terrifying.

After all, Lu Qingshan's Time Body was only at the second level. If he cultivated it to the third level, it would be 32000 times the power of a World Lord. If the Ghost King's clone itself had the fourth level with a 50x amplitude, it would be 50000 times the power of a World Lord.

This is already the basic strength at the King-level!

……

After fully adapting to the immense power brought by the Time Overlord Armor, Lu Qingshan began to go into seclusion and devote himself to studying his secret techniques.

When facing the 17th floor of the Sky Bridge, Lu Qingshan discovered that his attack power was too weak, and he almost couldn't break through the defense.

If this disadvantage is not corrected, it will be a huge disadvantage in battles against the enemy.

Ordinary immortal gods are fine; his divine body can be shattered. But against a Marquis who possesses an immortal body, the previous Green Mountain technique was completely ineffective. Even if he killed him ten thousand times, the other party could easily revive. Even if Lu Qingshan's basic strength increased a thousandfold, it would be useless.

To effectively damage an immortal being, one must either use a soul attack or directly obliterate their divine body with overwhelming power.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan must have a more powerful self-created secret technique!
The Green Mountain Style was a secret technique he created after leaving the inheritance palace in the Cabel Starfield. It was only at an ordinary level. Now, his understanding of the laws is on a completely different level from before.

The level of this secret technique should naturally be increased as well.

Creating secret techniques is a path that every genius must take; only what you create yourself is perfectly suited to you.

The Primal Secret Realm Master has extensive authority, including a trial space for creating secret techniques, which can be applied for for free.

After his application was approved, Lu Qingshan's consciousness appeared in a dark cave.

Before me was an intelligent life form that looked like a wooden doll.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, you have been granted the right to use the 1000-year trial space. Please allow me to introduce you to the information about the trial space."

"Thank you."

Lu Qingshan did not treat the other party as a robot.

The wooden figure smiled slightly: "The Trial Space is tens of thousands of times more advanced than the Killing Field. It is a core secret of the Virtual Universe Company and has a powerful auxiliary effect on the creation of secret techniques... Look..." He pointed, and in the dark cave, a huge monster with what looked like a mountain on its back appeared.

"This is the Rock Ridge Rhinoceros Clan of the Demon Race, possessing a powerful body and a sturdy back. Its charging ability is terrifying; even an immortal god of the same level would likely suffer significant damage if struck by it... This race is extremely rare, even among the Demon Race, yet in the Trial Space, we can perfectly simulate their fighting style and accurately grasp their weaknesses."

Then the huge monster disappeared, and a petite figure appeared, the wooden figure introduced.

"This is the Wind Shadow Fox Clan, a member of the demon royal family. It moves extremely fast and uses wind-based laws, which enhances its power! It is very skilled at assassination; sometimes you won't even see the enemy's face before it kills you."

and also.

"The Illusionary Peacock, a darling of illusion and fire magic."

"The Reincarnation Serpent Clan..."

……

"In the trial space, you will encounter powerful alien races, special life forms, and even creatures that are extinct in reality. The order in which they appear and their strength will be adjusted according to the flaws in the secret technique you create. Your goal is to defeat them and kill every opponent you encounter."

"If you can kill 100 opponents, the secret technique you create will reach the ordinary level; if you kill 500 opponents, the secret technique you create will reach the level of the top secret technique; if you kill 1000 opponents, the secret technique you create will reach the level of the peak secret technique; if you kill 2000 opponents, hehehe... then the secret technique you create will have reached the level of the ultimate secret technique."
