Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 126 The Headquarters Dojo of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom
"Wow, what a huge egg! Qin Ming, where did you get this?"

Babata's phantom emerged from Qin Ming's arm guard, his gaze curiously fixed on the giant black egg supported behind Qin Ming.

Such a huge egg is rare even in the universe.

Moreover, the golden runes on the black giant egg looked somewhat familiar, giving Babata many guesses.

Through the golden runes, Babata thought of some powerful beings in the universe, such as cosmic behemoths!

A crimson-gold behemoth of ordinary bloodline, 'Cang' of the eight powerful bloodlines, or even a golden-horned behemoth of peak bloodline—all seem possible.

If it has already hatched, Babata can still be confirmed.

But if it's just an egg, Babata isn't really sure.

After all, he had never seen a living Golden Horned Beast, let alone an egg.

But one thing is certain: this egg is definitely not simple.

"I found this monster egg by chance while I was sweeping the seabed. I feel that this egg must be something special."

The eggshell is extremely hard, much harder than the scales of many star-level monsters.

Even more astonishing is the incredible life force conceived within this egg.

Even stronger than a ninth-tier stellar-level monster!

Qin Ming told Babata about his search for the Octopus Beast King in the ocean and his 'accidental' encounter with the monster egg.

"Its vitality is stronger than that of a ninth-tier stellar-level monster?"

That's strange, how could something like that exist on Earth?

If you bring it back, I'll scan and study it carefully with the equipment. I have some guesses in my mind, but I'm not sure yet.

If it's really as I think, then I've hit the jackpot!

Babata looked somewhat agitated.

Such powerful vitality, coupled with its enormous size and golden runes, led him to suspect that this was very likely the legendary Golden Horned Beast egg!

That's a colossal star beast with peak bloodline!

The Meteorite Star lineage contains the secret technique of "Body Seizure".

His master, Huyanbo, possessed the body of a young boy from the Longke tribe.

The Longko race is a powerful race that ranks among the top thirty in human bloodlines, and adults can reach cosmic levels!
It was precisely because of the possession that his talent advanced by leaps and bounds, which led to the later immortal powerhouse Huyanbo.

If this is truly the egg of the Golden Horned Beast, wouldn't possessing it mean being directly promoted to the peak of the Realm Lord level, with an extremely high probability of becoming an Immortal?

With Qin Ming's powerful soul talent, if he were to possess another body, his future would be absolutely limitless.

That's right, at this moment Babata is thinking about having Qin Ming possess his body.

After all, this was found by Qin Ming, and Qin Ming has extremely strong talent.

"Okay! I'll bring it back right away."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

He certainly knew what kind of egg it was, but he couldn't say it directly; it would be best if Babata said it.

The only problem is that Babata is unaware of the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones.

At this point, Luo Feng probably wouldn't even want to possess another body.

Luo Feng is now riding high, having joined the military in his senior year of high school and rapidly risen to become a high-ranking official in China.

Not only does he hold a high position of power, but he is also with his beloved and has a happy life.

And there is the immortal legacy of Meteorite Star.

An absolute winner in life.

At this point, would you ask Luo Feng to abandon his humanity and try to possess the Golden Horned Beast?

No one would be happy about that.

……

Inside the base, urged by Babata, the black giant egg was moved into a plaza filled with instruments.

Luo Feng also appeared on the side, watching Babata keep pulling out one strange-looking device after another, shouting and yelling.

"What on earth is this that excites Babata so much?"

Luo Feng asked curiously.

“I’m not entirely sure either, but this egg must be something special. Let Babata keep an eye on it for now.”

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.

The Golden Horned Beast's eggshell was indeed extraordinary, but before it hatched, it was still a planetary-level creature, and it was unlikely that it could block Babata's detection.

Babata is probably feeling uncertain right now.

Golden-horned behemoths are extremely rare.

Such a rare and immortal title as that of Hu Yanbo has never been seen before.

"I'll go to the Qianwu Dojo in the virtual universe first. There's a public lecture today by a Realm Lord expert on the 'Earth Domain,' so I'll go listen to it."

Qin Ming said to Luo Feng.

The Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star has only three cosmic-level beings in charge.

But the virtual universe is different; there are no spatial limitations there. Qin Ming chose to go directly to the Qianwu Dojo headquarters in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to attend classes!

That's right, it's not the Black Dragon Mountain Empire headquarters.

It is the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!
Within the virtual universe, the Qianwu Dojo, the headquarters of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, houses not only world lords but also immortal powerhouses.

Of course, realm lords occasionally give public lectures, but immortals are very rare.

For this, Qin Ming spent a full 10 billion Black Dragon Coins to teleport to the Qianwu Continent, where the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is located.

10 billion Black Dragon Coins—that's enough to buy two seventh-tier Stellar-level slaves.

However, considering his own plans and the need to attract the attention of the Qianwu Empire, especially the Qianwu ruler, he still spent the money.

Otherwise, how long would it take to slowly blend in with the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, get noticed by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's Qianwu Dojo, and then be recommended to higher levels?

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom commands over 13,000 star regions and more than 100 million star systems.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which controls eight thousand star systems, is merely a small vassal state of the advanced cosmic civilization, the Qianwu Empire.

How many geniuses and powerful individuals could be born within such a vast territory?
Asking others for recommendations carries too much uncertainty and risk.

It would be better to go directly to the Qianwu Continent in the virtual universe of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and attract the attention of its higher-ups with your own talent.

However, it is much more difficult to make a name for oneself in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"Alright! Then I'll go to the final battle space in the Killing Space to find someone to spar with. Sparring with real people is much more interesting than having opponents I design myself. There are too many powerful individuals in the final battle space of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

I've lost so many times these past few days.

Luo Feng also laughed.

It was Qin Ming who suggested going to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the virtual universe, and that's where we went first.

After all, 10 billion Black Dragon Coins is no small number.

But upon discovering its advantages, Luo Feng decisively followed suit.

The two often attended classes at the Qianwu Dojo and occasionally went to the Battle Space to fight.

However, Luo Feng, who had not yet possessed the Golden Horned Beast, couldn't make a sound in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Qin Ming, because he spent most of his time supplementing his basics, has not yet attracted the attention of the authorities.

"That's for sure. The experts of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom are far stronger than those of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

Qin Ming also laughed.

Immediately, the two logged into the virtual universe and appeared in a courtyard with Chinese style.

This is an asset located within the Virtual Universe Company on the Qianwu Continent, acquired by Zhao Xingguo and others after they purchased an established trading company on Qiulong Star.

As legitimate trading companies, we all have stable locations within the virtual universe for conducting business with others.

After eight months of development, Shenzhou Trading Company's business became increasingly prosperous and its scale grew larger and larger.

They also established a small outpost on the Qianwu Continent.

There was no delay.

Qin Ming quickly walked outside.

As his body became ethereal, a teleportation array appeared beneath his feet.

Once the body solidified, the surrounding environment had changed, and the person appeared before an extremely magnificent and enormous city.

The city wall is tens of thousands of meters high, and the four large, elegant characters "Qianwu Daochang" on the gate shine brightly.

The Qianwu Continent is simply too vast, and those who enter the virtual universe are all at the apprentice level in terms of physical fitness. It's unknown how long it would take to reach the Qianwu headquarters dojo by walking.

Fortunately, the cost of teleportation within the virtual universe of Qianwu Continent is not expensive; otherwise, the frequent teleportation alone could bankrupt Qin Ming.

They strode into the city and headed toward a colossal building that could be considered a work of art.

This building covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and this one building is much larger than the Qianwu Dojo in Qiulong City. Here, it is just an ordinary building.

Like Qin Ming, many people rushed over to attend the lecture.

The crowd was densely packed, moving quickly through it; I'd estimate there were well over a million people.

Qin Ming soon arrived at his destination.

This was an extremely spacious virtual plaza. Qin Ming didn't dare to linger and found his spot to sit down. More and more people were gathering around him.

Some of these 'people' were covered in scales, some had three heads and six arms, or had eyes between their eyebrows and eyes, etc. When the entire venue quieted down, Qin Ming estimated that they were worth tens of millions.

"teacher!"

In the entire virtual plaza, all the millions of students from the Qianwu Daoist Temple stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

A powerful realm lord, nearly fifty meters tall, whose body was made of rock and covered in reddish-brown rock armor, appeared in the center of the plaza.

The sound was like the rumble of the earth's crust.

"Today, I want to talk to you about my insights into the Earth Realm and its many mysteries."

"Earth, the foundation of all things, is the source of all life! Earth veins are the place that nurtures the vitality of all things; when their domain is expanded, they can shatter stars and reshape mountains and rivers!"

A silence.

This powerful figure, revered as the "Lord of the Shattered Rock Realm," has a gentle personality, but he hates noise the most when teaching, and always begins his lectures with a thunderous voice.

Golden magma seeped from the rocky patterns behind him, and his diamond-shaped pupils scanned the entire area, with everyone listening quietly.

"Alright!"

He slammed his giant hand on the podium, and a hundred-meter-high rock pillar suddenly rose from the virtual plaza. As he waved his hand, earthworm-like patterns appeared on the surface of the rock pillar.
"The realm of earth can be transformed into a prison for the earth!"

Before the words were finished, the rock pillar exploded with a deafening roar, and thousands of fragments condensed in the air into a triangular cage, each piece of rock shimmering with a deep, majestic, earthy yellow light.

The invisible gravity seemed to distort the surrounding space.

"The realm of earth can merge all things into nothingness!"

With a flick of his finger, the cage instantly turned into liquid mud.

Ripples spread across the surface of the mud, as if a swamp were swallowing everything in its path.

silence.

A realm master who can give lectures at the Qianwu Dojo, the headquarters of the Qianwu Empire, is far more powerful than an ordinary realm master.

His insights into the Earth Law direction at the Qianwu Dojo are said to be stronger than many Immortals, and many students pursuing the Earth Law direction enjoy listening to his lectures.

The same goes for Qin Ming.

"Remember!" The Lord of Shattered Rock roared, making everyone's eardrums ache. "The Earth Domain is not a tortoise shell! Make good use of the power of the earth!"

"One punch can shatter a planet's core, and one palm can smooth out a ravine ten thousand meters wide!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and mysterious runes of law appeared in mid-air.

"I see."

Qin Ming listened attentively, sometimes feeling enlightened, sometimes nodding slightly, and sometimes falling into deep thought.

for a long time--

The lecture is over.

"Qin Ming, I feel I have gained a lot of insights after listening to the lecture. How about we go and fight in the duel space?"
This time, I will definitely defeat you!

As the crowd gradually dispersed, a burly figure, standing at least five meters tall and resembling a stone man, approached.

"Man Shi, you are no match for me."

Qin Ming turned his head to look with a smile.

This was an elite student he met while attending classes at the Qianwu Dojo. The two had a good relationship, and he lost to Qin Ming in several exchanges.

"However, if you're looking for a beating, I can give you the chance. Just a heads up, I've already reached the third level of the Domain."
