Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 139 Clone!

“Very well, then so be it. After you leave here, someone will arrange a place for you to stay on the mainland, and ‘Thirteen’ will also guide you in your daily cultivation. Go now.”

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had a loud and clear voice.

"is teacher!"

Qin Ming bowed respectfully, but did not turn to leave.

"Anything else?"

Seeing that Qin Ming did not make a move and looked somewhat hesitant, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord spoke again.

"There is one more thing that I haven't told you, Master."

Qin Ming looked up at the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

Since you've accepted me as your master, I will naturally make all the arrangements for you.

These words came out perfectly naturally from the mouth of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, but to Qin Ming, they evoked a strange feeling.

Qin Ming had some ulterior motives in becoming Qian Wu's apprentice.

He didn't expect the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom to bestow anything upon him; he was more interested in joining the Qianwu Secret Realm and gaining protection.

At the same time, it also utilizes the resources of the Qianwu Secret Realm to obtain suitable materials for creating clones.

It was no open secret among the upper echelons that the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was 'short of money,' and Qin Ming was well aware of this.

This is why Qin Ming did not mention clones when discussing future plans with the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

The resources in the Qianwu Secret Realm are far better than what he could get by trying his luck out there on his own.

He had long planned to sell the weapons and armor from the immortal corpse in exchange for resources.

But the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom launched a series of smooth moves that left Qin Ming somewhat bewildered.

Secret techniques and treasures are given away without hesitation.

This also made Qin Ming understand why, even after he had perished three times in a row, his friends were still willing to lend him their most precious treasures to take risks.

Since that's the case, there's no need to hide the fact that there's a clone.

It would be better to talk to Master Qianwu directly.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked with some curiosity.

The fact that Qin Ming is so hesitant suggests that it must be something serious.

"Teacher, it's probably because my soul is naturally stronger that I awakened a talent when I was at the planetary level."

A talent called Soul Splitting.

Qin Ming took a deep breath and spoke.

"Soul Splitting Talent? What's its use?"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom became interested, as talent is something that is usually only found in a very small number of races with strong bloodlines.

As far as he knew, Qin Ming's clan was only of the ninth rank.

This is far from enough to give birth to talent.

Therefore, among the many cultivation resources he gave Qin Ming's world ring, he also left a bottle of Domain Lord-level bloodline potion.

He just couldn't be bothered to bring it up.

It's just a few dozen mixed-origin items.

But nothing is absolute.

Occasionally, there are exceptionally talented geniuses who possess certain special abilities under special circumstances.

"Avatars! I can create avatars, one at the planetary level, one at the cosmic level, and one at the world lord level."

Qin Ming spoke.

Clone! And there are three clones!

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was surprised, his expression showing joy and even a hint of envy.

The clone ability is definitely the strongest survival ability!
none of them.

Very few powerful individuals possess this talent; even most of the supreme rulers of the universe do not have avatars.

Human beings acquire this talent through a single method.

That's possession!
Possessing the bodies of certain powerful races or even special life forms in the universe.

And one must possess another's body before achieving immortality.

Once one breaks through to immortality, the divine body and soul become completely fused together, making it impossible to have a clone.

Of course, there is another way to obtain a clone.

That was a gift from the primordial universe!
As one of the oldest and most revered beings in humankind.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom knew that the Lord of Chenhuo of the Demon Clan Alliance possessed the secret technique bestowed by the universe—the Second Avatar—and thus obtained the Avatar of Lihuo Mountain.

But this method is far less likely than possession!

No one knows under what circumstances one can receive the gifts of the primordial universe.

"You really gave me quite a surprise."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom smiled.

The ability to create clones!

Qin Ming's future potential increased a thousandfold in an instant.

With the eyesight of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler, how could he not see that Qin Ming was actually hiding something?

However, he didn't care about any of that.

It's normal for top geniuses to have a few secrets and some unexpected opportunities.

If there were no secrets at all, he might actually become curious.

Without intending to pry, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked.

"What are your thoughts on clones? What is the upper limit of your ability to create clones? What conditions are required to create clones?"

"The upper limit, this should be related to the strength of my soul?"

The specific disciples are not clear either.

All that's needed to create a clone is some hair and scales.

I had collected some materials before, but they weren't of a high level, so they were all able to be bred.

My current plan is to first create an avatar with top-tier earth and void talents to comprehend the laws and improve my strength as quickly as possible.

As for subsequent clones, I haven't thought about it yet.

Qin Ming said respectfully.

"Earth and space clones?"

Not a bad idea.

However, the Earth and Void talents also have their own focuses.

I suggest that for your first clone, you choose one that focuses on spatial manipulation. This will give you a higher potential and be more helpful in the future.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded in satisfaction.

He had previously reminded Qin Ming to pay attention to comprehending the laws, and Qin Ming's first clone chose to focus on comprehending the laws of earth and space, clearly indicating that the two shared the same idea. Focusing on space?

"I'll follow the teacher's instructions!"

Qin Ming nodded. He hadn't considered this before; he simply wanted to choose a special life form with earth and air talents.

The suggestion from the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is clearly more suitable.

"Of course, you can't just choose what you want to create."

Although I don't have a clone, I do have some understanding of this type of talent.

Even the ability to create clones has its limits.

For example, the Golden Horned Beast, a star-level behemoth with the highest bloodline, also possesses the talent of creating clones.

The Golden Horned Beast is a life form with ten times the genetic strength, and generally speaking, the clones it can spawn cannot be much stronger than itself.

Well then, I also have some scales and hair of earth and void bloodline life forms.

Try to find your own limit first, and then make a decision.

Qin Ming looked delighted.

The collection of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom!
As the ruler of a high-level cosmic nation and a high-level Venerable, how rich must his collection be?

"Thank you, teacher."

Qin Ming expressed his gratitude.

"These are the scales of the 'Hillside Giant Beast,' the pinnacle bloodline among the star beasts. Try them on first."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled.

The space in front of Qin Ming rippled slightly, and a yellowish-brown scale, more than ten meters long and covered with strange patterns, appeared.

Are these the scales of the colossal beast?

Sensing the aura emanating from it, Qin Ming was secretly alarmed; this was at least the scales of a world lord-level behemoth.

Place your hand on it, and the Soul Splitting Talent will activate.

"It can conceive!"

Qin Ming immediately made his judgment and said.

"The giant beasts of the hills and valleys are life forms with ten times the genetic diversity, and you can easily conceive them."

"It seems you have great talent; you could consider some special life forms."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded. As one of the oldest cosmic venerables among the human race, and even the founder of a cosmic kingdom, his foundation was truly astonishing.

There were no complete corpses of special life forms, but a considerable amount of scales and hair were collected.

Incidentally, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom also gave Qin Ming a briefing on the power of special life forms, which Qin Ming listened to with nods of approval.

"These are the scales of a special life form called the 'Star Core Ancient Python,' whose life level can reach 60 times that of a human, and whose adult body length exceeds 100,000 kilometers. It is a special life form that leans towards the space system."

The space in front of Qin Ming distorted again, and a scale appeared.

This scale is not large, only one meter in size, but the aura it contains is even more astonishing than that of the colossal beast in the hills.

Place your hand on it, and you'll feel a cool sensation.

The Soul Splitting Talent is in operation.

"It can conceive!"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom's eyes brightened even more, and he immediately took out a hair from a special life form.

This is a special life form with a life level a hundred times higher—the Void Dragon Lizard.

It was a success!

Then, the test was conducted three times in a row.

It keeps improving each time.

When his life level increased 200 times, Qin Ming frowned slightly.

"Teacher, I feel like it's getting a bit difficult."

Is this the limit?
No, not necessarily!
Qin Ming could sense that the limits of the Soul Splitting Talent Secret Technique were closely related to the strength of his own soul.

If one cultivates the Soul Amplification Secret Technique "Undying Holy Soul" bestowed by Master Qianwu, then the upper limit should be even higher.

"200 times the level of life!"

Qin Ming was somewhat dissatisfied, but the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled.

too strong!
This is still the first clone.

Once Qin Ming reaches the Realm Lord level and gives birth to three powerful and special life clones, his future achievements are simply unimaginable.

Originally, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom believed that Qin Ming's talent had a high probability of making him an immortal, but a very low probability of making him a cosmic venerable.

However, if we add three top-tier special life clones, the probability increases significantly.

The Supreme Being of the Universe—this is the truly supreme being in the universe.

For example, the standard for participation in the highest meeting of the human race is the strength of a cosmic sovereign.

"Teacher, I can sense that the Soul Splitting Technique is closely related to the strength of my soul."

If my soul were to be elevated further, perhaps I could even create an even stronger clone.

Qin Ming immediately replied.

"It's related to a strong soul; can it be improved further?"

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was overjoyed, but quickly calmed down.

"It's good to be able to improve, but your teacher also wants to remind you."

Creating clones isn't about making them stronger; as far as I know, the stronger the clones you create, the more difficult it will be for you to break through to immortality in the future!

"They might get stuck at the World Lord level and never be able to advance."

Qin Ming remained silent.

Of course he knew the answer to this question.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng's life level was increased by 10081 times before the Realm Lord, which made his original core extremely hard.

Even with Luo Feng's talent, it took him 80,000 years of wandering in the universe before he finally comprehended the ultimate technique and broke through.

"Teacher, I want to try."

Why choose a low-level special life form because you are afraid of overcoming the difficulty?

He didn't want to!
"Hahaha! Let's give it a try! A martial artist should be brave, diligent, and fearless!"

Looking at Qin Ming's youthful yet determined face, the King of Qianwu Kingdom laughed heartily.

"I don't have any powerful earth or space-specific life-sustaining scales myself, but my friends should have some. I'll go ask them for you."

During the two people's test, the special life material with a life level 200 times that of soil and space was no longer soil or space, but a special life form of time.

Special life forms are extremely rare in the universe, and Qin Ming can only choose those below the Immortal level to create an avatar.

Almost all special life forms below the Immortal level live in secluded realms under the protection of powerful beings.

Obtaining its scales, armor, and flesh is even more difficult.

"Thank you teacher."
