Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 150 Fourth-Order Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Power of Domination
Rumbling--

A familiar booming sound echoed within the space of the Myriad Soul Banner.

The soul of the Domain Lord-level Lava Behemoth occupied the central position of the Myriad Soul Banner, with tens of millions of monster souls roaring within it.

Before setting off, the mountain of monster flesh that Qin Ming bought in the Qianwu Secret Realm rapidly decomposed, turning into large swaths of blood mist that drifted down in all directions, causing the Netherworld to expand rapidly.

Qin Ming was already very familiar with this process.

Unlike before, this time Qin Ming did not choose to let the Netherworld expand at will, but instead selectively manipulated it to better suit his conception of the Netherworld space.

The earth became heavier.

The underground space becomes increasingly spacious with each layer.

The eighteen levels of hell are beginning to take shape.

The continuous mountain peaks are majestic, and the palaces are even more magnificent, inspiring awe in those who behold them.

The result of continuous modification is that the consumption of monster corpses and flesh essence during advancement is extremely high, much more than normal advancement.

Fortunately, Qin Ming had anticipated this and purchased a massive amount of monster corpses.

The amount of ordinary stellar-level and cosmic-level monster corpses that can be purchased with one Hunyuan is astonishing, requiring a World Ring to store them.

Since they were received, the monster corpses have been decomposing, yet they continue to pile up like mountains.

"Based on previous advancements of the Myriad Soul Banner, it is estimated that the space of the fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner should be able to reach a diameter of 1000 million kilometers."

As talents in all aspects continue to be enhanced, new talents can also emerge.

I wonder what the talent of a fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner is.

Qin Ming looked down at the rapidly expanding continent below, filled with anticipation.

The Tier 0 Myriad Soul Banner can absorb the flesh and soul of enemies, refine flesh and soul crystals and soul crystals, control the soul attacks of monsters, and create flesh and blood puppets.

The first-tier Myriad Soul Banner possesses the crucial ability to create clones, allowing for soul searching and combined soul attacks.

The second-tier Myriad Soul Banner gives rise to the Soul Domain.

The third-tier Myriad Soul Banner, derived from flesh and blood, can create top-tier flesh and blood puppets, allowing for the analysis and observation of the mysteries of life, laying the foundation for the future Divine Body Flow.

It can be said that the power of the Myriad Soul Banner is crucial in every advancement!
What about the fourth order?
With this intense curiosity, the feedback from the evolution of the Myriad Soul Banner at the fourth stage arrived.

"what--"

Qin Ming's eyes were bloodshot as he violently pounded the dark red magma earth, venting the extreme pain he had endured during the forging of his soul.

As his strength increased, Qin Ming's soul power was already extremely strong.

Under these circumstances, his soul continued to be forged, becoming stronger and more profound.

A large number of monster spirits are on guard around the area, preventing possible attacks.

As the transformation within the Myriad Soul Banner space slowly came to an end, the soul forging also concluded, and a cool and refreshing feeling spread from the soul.

"My soul is stronger, and my foundation is deeper."

The bloodshot look in Qin Ming's eyes gradually faded, and his vision cleared.

The world around me became clear.

With the blessing of the bloodline of the Desolate God Clan and his powerful soul, Qin Ming felt as if he were the darling of the universe's laws, with the fluctuations of the universe's rules within his reach.

Even without relying on clones, his talent in the earth and air domains is probably no less than that of a peak bloodline behemoth.

"My strength has reached the eighth level of the Stellar level, and my soul amplitude has also increased by about five times, which has saved a lot of precious resources."

Upon careful reflection, a transformation of both body and soul emerged in my mind.

"As expected, the Myriad Soul Banner's original abilities have been enhanced. Its soul domain has expanded to 1000 kilometers, and its power has been greatly increased."

Even if one only enters the domain of the Myriad Soul Banner, the souls of ordinary stellar-level and cosmic-level enemies can be directly absorbed into the Myriad Soul Banner.

Both domain lords and realm lords can suppress them significantly.

The ability to analyze and control flesh and blood puppets is greatly enhanced through crafting.

The fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner's ability is actually command!

Qin Ming's face lit up with surprise.

The fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner has only one new ability: Domination!
By merging all souls into oneself, one becomes both a person and an army.

He single-handedly unleashed the power of the entire army!

"Command!"

Filled with curiosity, Qin Ming rested for a while to allow his soul to fully recover before attempting to circulate it.

call!call!call!
A ninth-tier cosmic-level monster that had been roaming around Qin Ming surged into his body.

boom!
An immense power flowed into his body, and Qin Ming felt his strength increase a thousandfold in an instant, his power skyrocketing.

The second one, the third one...

When more than forty cosmic-level ninth-tier monsters surged in, Qin Ming even felt that his power could crush a domain lord!
This is not an illusion.

It is real, tangible power!
An almost terrifying power!

From the stellar level, he leaped to the domain lord level of power!
However, along with this, intense swelling and tearing sensations arose in both the soul and the body.

"This power is too violent. My body and soul are too weak to withstand it for long."

The control ability ceased instantly, and the souls of the ninth-tier cosmic-level monsters rapidly left Qin Ming's body. The surging power subsided, and the tearing sensation also disappeared.

"too strong."

Qin Ming was filled with surprise and delight.

The soul power of more than thirty cosmic-level ninth-tier monsters has been fused!

This is not even Qin Ming's limit.

If it's a desperate situation, it will be even stronger!
However, under extreme conditions, both the soul and body will suffer certain damage, falling into a weakened state, requiring the absorption of the soul's essence and the essence of flesh and blood to repair the injuries.

This is a desperate measure, but also an excellent trump card for survival!
"The method of domination is closely related to my own strength and the domination of the soul."

If I were to command a stellar-level entity, I should be able to command thousands, or even monster souls.

It is no exaggeration to say that one person can form an army.

This is because my physical strength is not enough.

"If it were a mountain giant's body wielding the domination technique, the enhancement would be even more monstrous." Qin Ming's eyes burned with fervor.

Unlike auxiliary abilities such as the Soul Domain and Flesh Puppets, Command directly enhances his own combat power!

With the blessing of the soul realm, one can then unleash their dominion abilities.

What level of strength can he achieve?
Just thinking about it filled Qin Ming with excitement.

This is absolutely terrifying!

In critical moments, they can turn the tide instantly.

"Now, let's see how long it takes to develop a clone after upgrading to the fourth tier."

After the initial excitement, Qin Ming looked at the gray-black giant egg in the blood pool, which had mostly dried up. He could feel that the gestation speed of his clone was increasing rapidly.

However, we'll have to wait a while and observe more closely to find out the exact time.

"Before that, let's try refining an immortal corpse!"

Their gaze fell upon the immortal corpses floating in the pool of blood.

The mountain of monster corpses piled up inside the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls were all absorbed by the Netherworld Space during the advancement, transforming into a vast land. Only these six immortal corpses remained unmoved.

The netherworld trembled, and the bright moonlight gathered in the sky.

This time, Qin Ming did not choose to refine the largest black gorilla immortal, but rather the slightly smaller immortal corpse, which was similar in size to a giant black gorilla and about six meters tall.

The armor of this immortal corpse was already tattered, and its body was covered with hideous wounds.

It's relatively easier to refine.

hum!
An invisible force gathered on the immortal corpse, causing the entire body to tremble rapidly.

At the second tier, the Myriad Soul Banner could barely extract a trace of blood and qi from the corpse. At the third tier, although the extraction speed was greatly increased, it was still unable to shake the entire corpse and make use of it.

However, as the Myriad Souls Banner advanced to the fourth tier, its power finally fully merged into his body.

wow——

Large wisps of blood-red mist emanated from this immortal corpse.

Become!

Qin Ming's eyes lit up with surprise.

The refining was finally successful.

Although the refining speed is still very slow, it will take at least several days to fully refine it.

But this is pure energy refined from an immortal body!

Whether used for cultivation or for nurturing the avatar of a mountain giant, it can play a crucial role.

Time passed slowly, and a day quickly went by as they refined the immortal corpse.

"Through a day of gestation, it can be roughly determined that the gestation speed of the mountain giant clone has increased by about 10 times."

In other words, it can be developed in about 10 years.

Looking at the giant gray-black egg in the blood pool, Qin Ming smiled.

10 years!
This is still a long time, but it's enough.

It's only early 2058 now, and the Peak Universe Genius Battle will begin in May 2066. In between, there will be preliminary rounds, arena battles, and reincarnation battles.

The final showdown will take place in September 2070!

With Qin Ming's current strength and talent, he has already swept through the Genius Battle, not to mention that he was able to nurture a top-level special life form like the Mountain Giant before the Genius Battle.

"Let's try again. Let's see how much it can be improved if we use the essence of immortal flesh and blood to nurture it."

With a thought, the crimson mist extracted from the immortal corpse surged into the gray-black giant egg.

The nascent mountain giant avatar trembled, and its gestation speed suddenly surged again, even giving off a feeling of being stuffed and reaching its limit.

This energy is too pure and vigorous.

A moment later, Qin Ming sensed it, and the Myriad Soul Banner also sent a message from the darkness.

"Five years! In five years, the Mountain Giant's clone can be created, but that is already the limit. Even if the Myriad Soul Banner advances to the fifth rank, it cannot be improved any further."

Everything has its limits!

The conception of life requires a process.

It cannot be accomplished overnight.

Forcibly upgrading it will cause some damage to the Mountain Giant's inherent potential.

"enough."

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief; this was a top-tier special life form.

Being able to compress the gestation period to five years is already amazing; we can't ask for anything more.

"This broken immortal corpse can be refined into flesh and blood essence to nourish the avatar's development. As for the others, they can be refined into flesh and blood puppets to serve as combat power."

Focus your attention on the smallest of the immortal corpses, which has yellow skin, black hair, and a scar on its face.

They look almost exactly like Chinese people.

Refining also requires consuming a large amount of blood and flesh essence.

This corpse is the smallest in size, so it will consume far less energy and be easier to control after refining.

This is the experience Qin Ming gained from refining and controlling flesh and blood puppets.

hum!
An invisible force gathered on the immortal corpse, causing the entire body to tremble rapidly.

"The energy in the blood pool is being consumed too quickly."

Qin Ming frowned slightly as he watched the water level in the blood pool drop rapidly.

Refining it into a flesh and blood puppet requires a large amount of energy.

The energy within the Myriad Soul Banner had already been completely consumed during the advancement, leaving only a small portion to supply the needs of the Mountain Giant's clone for its development.

"Time to go hunting."
