Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 125 The Golden Horned Beast 'Egg' Captured Alive

2057 8 Month 15 Day.

When Qin Ming was completely immersed in cultivation.

In the vast universe, a golden streak of light flew towards Earth from the depths of the cosmos at a terrifying speed close to the speed of light.

Golden streaks of light streak across the sky and plunge into the sea over the Hawaiian Islands.

Strangely, the near-light-speed descent did not cause the slightest disturbance.

Not only was the sea surface completely still.

Throughout the entire Earth and even the solar system, China's costly surveillance systems, purchased from space, remained completely undetected.
Deep under the sea.

When the golden light disappeared, it left behind an oval-shaped black egg with a diameter of about twelve meters.

The black eggshell was covered with strange golden spots.

……

end of August.

Under 5000 times the gravity in the gravity chamber, Qin Ming's expression remained unchanged. Energy flowed within his body, but his consciousness entered the virtual universe to learn the secret techniques inherited from Meteorite Star.

"I have finally mastered all the basics."

The first level of both "The Tower of the Void" and "The Soul Imprint" has been completed.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a colossal tower appeared, sheltering Qin Ming's soul within it, even the Myriad Soul Banner was enveloped by this single-story tower.

The strongest soul defense secret technique of the Meteorite Star lineage in "The Tower of the Void".

"Soul Imprint" is a method of soul attack, which contains many soul imprints.

Once the first stage of basic learning is completed, you can learn advanced techniques such as the 'Myriad Souls Sword Seal' and the 'Illusion God Seal'.

For example, the Myriad Souls Sword Seal forms a sword-like shape that directly attacks the soul, causing excruciating headaches. Even a momentary impact during a battle between martial artists is enough to lead to their utter destruction.

If one's soul is powerful enough, it is even normal to tear the opponent's soul apart.

The 'Illusion God Seal' is much gentler; it's a method that silently pulls the enemy into an illusion, ultimately making them intoxicated.

That is, illusion!
"The foundation is solid now, so we can start learning the real methods of soul attack."

Qin Ming was in a rather pleasant mood. With the Myriad Soul Banner in hand, he wasn't too concerned about the enslavement techniques in the Soul Seal, but he was extremely looking forward to the soul attack techniques.

With his profound spiritual foundation, he can easily defeat enemies of higher levels!

Furthermore, it is also blessed by the Soul Domain of the Myriad Soul Banner, the main soul, and the souls of millions of powerful monsters.

Under a soul attack, no matter what domain or law you possess, if you can't withstand it, you'll die!

Even if they can be blocked, they will be greatly affected and can be harvested using telekinetic weapons such as the Sky Shuttle.

With such a huge advantage, Qin Ming will definitely focus on the soul aspect in the future.

Since we are going to follow the path of the soul, then both soul defense and attack are of paramount importance!

"After eight months of arduous training, my mental cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the planetary level, just one step away from the stellar level, and I may break through at any time."

In terms of martial arts, he reached the eighth level of the planetary realm, which is slightly inferior.

The martial arts secret technique, the "Eight Desolations Halberd of Mountain Suppression," has also yielded some results; it's time to emerge from seclusion and take a look around.

As he got up and stepped out of the gravity chamber, Qin Ming looked up at the sky.

There is never peace in the universe.

He also knew that Huaxia Jiuzhou Trading Company was being targeted by the enemy.

In the past two months, Anfeng Star has suffered three waves of space pirate attacks, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Fortunately, the Chinese side had anticipated this.

An Feng Star had set up a complete defense system around its perimeter, and with a ninth-level stellar-level martial artist in charge, it was not breached by space pirates.

Space pirates are essentially no different from the pirates that once existed on Earth.

They're all a bunch of scum who live by plundering.

Their strength is generally not very high; they are mainly stellar-level, supplemented by a large number of planetary-level units.

After all, a cosmic-level being is already considered a powerful being.

Even for a primary cosmic nation like the Silver Blue Empire, which controls eight star systems, the strongest entity is only at the cosmic level.

It can become a cosmic-level power, or at the very least, a dominant force in a remote galaxy.

How many people would be willing to become space pirates?
Both the Silver Blue Empire and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will crack down on space pirates, and any large-scale appearance of space pirates will be met with devastating blows.

Although the space pirates attacking China are becoming increasingly powerful, forcing China to prepare to purchase more stellar-level ninth-tier slaves and warships to defend against the invasion.

But Qin Ming's departure from the pass was not due to these reasons.

It was a golden-horned behemoth!

"Logically speaking, the Golden Horned Beast should have already descended upon Earth."

A surveillance system built in the solar system at great expense from space went completely undetected.

Thinking of this, a strange meaning appeared on Qin Ming's face.

In the original timeline, Earth actually had a certain ability to monitor the outside world. Leaving aside Earth's technology, there were also many relics and artifacts.

Otherwise, the many forces on Earth would not have been able to discover the ruins hidden underground.

For example, Ruins No. 12 are located 3000 meters below the surface of the seabed, 5000 meters below the surface of the rock!

But they didn't find the alien egg at all.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that the instruments purchased by China from space have not been discovered.

After all, it's quite normal for the Golden Horned Beast, as a top-tier bloodline in the universe, to use some secret techniques to conceal its eggs.

But no matter what.

The appearance of this golden-horned behemoth's egg was actually quite mysterious. Earth's cosmic coordinates were concealed by Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, using a secret spatial technique.

In other words, unless one uses overwhelming power to defeat Huyanbo's secret technique, one can only slowly fly through the universe.

It takes more than a thousand years of flight to reach Earth.

Of course, there is also a very small chance that the golden-horned behemoth's egg traveled through a newly appeared wormhole and appeared near Earth.

"No matter what the situation, we should make some preparations."

Qin Ming's body rose into the air and flew towards the sea.

Since no trace of the Golden Horned Beast was found, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

We can't just let the Golden Horned Beast grow and develop peacefully on Earth.

The Golden Horned Beast was very intelligent, even in its infancy.

In the original timeline, it had already hatched, but it lay dormant in the ocean for more than a year, reaching the level of a star, and only after becoming invincible on Earth did it unleash a world-ending frenzy.

Luo Feng was able to possess it not because of his strength, nor because of the sacrifice of the five heroes.

It's not cheating!
It was the inherited soul imprint left by Huyanbo in Luo Feng's sea of ​​consciousness that unleashed its final power when Luo Feng perished.

Back then, Hu Yanbo didn't know how strong his future successor would be.

Therefore, as a precaution, the 'Inherited Soul Imprint' he created at the time could transform the soul of a first-tier cosmic-level spiritualist!

It was this inherited soul imprint that shattered the Golden Horned Beast's soul, allowing Luo Feng to seize control of its body.

……

Qin Ming flew forward along the Pacific Ocean, his Myriad Soul Banner domain unfolding.

Countless monster souls surged forth, scouring every inch of the sea within a 20-kilometer radius, and instantly killing any sea monsters they encountered.

After the Myriad Soul Banner advanced to the second tier, its initial soul domain was 10 kilometers. Subsequently, Qin Ming collected a large number of monster corpses from the universe to feed on, and its domain range more than doubled.

Even the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, is only 11 kilometers deep.

With Qin Ming's speed, he could explore the entire Pacific Ocean and even the entire Earth in a short time by rapidly expanding his domain.

Under the realm of the soul, no matter how well the Golden Horned Beast Egg can hide, it cannot escape.

A few minutes later.

Qin Ming then appeared near the Hawaiian Islands, and then quickly explored outwards from the Hawaiian Islands as the center.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Qin Ming did not increase his speed to the maximum.

Instead, it maintains a relatively slow pace, allowing millions of monster souls within the soul realm to roam the depths of the ocean, leaving no stone unturned.

After obtaining hundreds of billions of monster souls from the slaughterhouse on Anfeng Star, and after rounds of raising and killing monsters, perhaps the quality of the monster souls was too low, or perhaps the potential of the ferocious beasts such as the nine-headed lion that were purchased was too low.

Neither of them has broken through to the cosmic level.

The only thing that made Qin Ming somewhat gratified was that, after devouring a large number of monster souls, the ninth-tier star monsters within the Myriad Soul Banner had greatly improved.

From the initial nine heads, it has now grown to 82 heads.

This includes the Thunder Dragon Emperor, on whom Qin Ming placed high hopes!

When millions of monster souls are crammed within a 20-kilometer radius, even if the ocean is three-dimensional, it is still a situation where monsters are packed together.

Monsters are different from humans; most of them are extremely large.

After the soul of the Thunder Dragon Emperor grew to the ninth level of the Stellar level, its size had already exceeded one thousand meters.

suddenly.

Qin Ming, who was moving at high speed, stopped, a smile on his lips.

found it!
More than 3,000 meters below the seabed.

The enormous, oval-shaped black egg remained motionless, looking no different from any other monster egg.

At the very least, Qin Ming didn't sense any powerful aura emanating from this egg.

but!

Monsters on Earth couldn't possibly have eggs that big.

Even the eggs laid by monsters like the Azure Dragon of the East Sea or the Thunder Dragon Emperor couldn't be this big.

Bang!
Qin Ming's figure suddenly plunged into the depths of the ocean, and in an instant appeared in front of the black giant egg.

The eggshell was black with mysterious golden patterns.

Qin Ming smiled.

Reaching out to touch the giant black egg, an invisible psychic force probed into it.

"This eggshell does indeed have the ability to conceal one's presence, but that alone is not enough to stop me."

Feeling the resistance from the eggshell, Qin Ming slowly attached his mental energy to the eggshell.

Instead of attacking head-on, it spread out like a thin film, slowly adhering to the eggshell and gradually making contact.

"Hehe, what a strong life force."

Using his mental power to penetrate the area, Qin Ming sensed the powerful aura emanating from the Golden Horned Beast and confirmed its identity. He smiled.

Immediately, the black giant egg was enveloped in psychic power and shot into the sky.

Neither the spatial ring nor the Myriad Soul Banner can store living beings.

So Qin Ming simply carried the giant black egg and flew towards the base.

During the flight, Qin Ming contacted Babata, who was playing a game in the virtual universe.

Since entering the virtual universe, Babata has spent most of his time playing games within it.

"Babata! Help me see what kind of creature's egg this is!"
