Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 156 Rebirth of the Netherworld! The Emergence of an Avatar

The familiar roaring sound came.

When the peak Realm Lord-level Insect Queen was refined and became the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner, the fifth evolution of the Myriad Soul Banner began.

For this evolution, Qin Ming had already purchased a massive amount of monster corpses.

When the fourth-tier Myriad Soul Banner was first established, its diameter was already tens of millions of kilometers.

How much flesh and blood would be needed to expand and transform such a vast area to 100 million kilometers by piling up monster corpses?
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood are not enough to describe it.

As a result, the 1 Hunyuan bestowed upon him by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom were all spent, and he even sold an immortal divine weapon to raise funds.

This time, he purchased the flesh and blood of a domain lord-level monster.

The further you progress, the more extravagant the resources required for the Myriad Soul Banner to advance become.

Of course, this number of corpses is just a drop in the ocean compared to the human population.

The human race is engaged in a fierce battle with the three dominant races—the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race—as well as their respective subordinate races on the outer battlefields.

Every year, countless powerful figures fall and countless enemies are killed.

These corpses were piled up and placed in the nine garbage star regions.

Nine star systems piled high with corpses!

As long as you have enough money, you can have as much as you want.

……

As the Netherworld within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls expanded once more, the moon in the sky grew even brighter.

The pain of forging the soul also arrived as expected.

However, this pain was clearly not enough to defeat Qin Ming; it only deepened his spiritual foundation and steadily improved his strength.

When the transformation of the land in the Netherworld ended, inexplicable information flooded into Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Netherworld Rebirth? When injured, one can use the essence of flesh and blood and the origin of the soul within the Myriad Soul Banner to quickly repair oneself. Even if one suffers fatal damage, the soul within the Myriad Soul Banner can bear it?"
Doesn't that mean that unless all the souls within the Myriad Souls Banner are completely annihilated, I am immortal?

A look of shock crossed Qin Ming's eyes.

Before that, he could absorb the essence of flesh and blood or the origin of souls within the Myriad Souls Banner to sustain his fighting ability.

But this maintenance is merely to preserve physical strength so that the soul does not become too exhausted.

It is essentially a supplementary function.

Rebirth in the netherworld is different.

The recovery speed is hundreds or thousands of times faster.

This includes the talent "Domination" from the fourth-tier Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

This should have been a trump card that was used with all one's might.

However, it seems that it can now become a regular skill!
The ability to command is to absorb a large number of souls into one's own body, incorporate all power into oneself, become an army by oneself, and possess great power.

It can unleash tremendous power in a short period of time.

However, such an outburst can cause great harm to one's own soul.

However, given the speed of the Netherworld's regeneration process...

If one can endure the pain of soul being torn apart and body being shattered, then theoretically, one can maintain a state of dominance indefinitely.

"As long as the blood pool never dries up and the soul never ends, I am immortal!"

In the void, Qin Ming looked down at the Netherworld below, and boundless pride rose in his heart.

This ability is incredibly powerful.

If he collects enough flesh and soul, his ability to survive will be enhanced to an extremely exaggerated level.

Of course, not saying anything will prevent death.

If you encounter an insurmountable opponent, like the current ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, a single slap will be enough to kill you.

At most, by relying on the unique ability of a soul to die in place of another, one can withstand a couple more slaps.

"enough."

"With my current strength, I can control the main soul of the insect queen within the Myriad Soul Banner. Even an immortal would find it difficult to kill me."

"Moreover, as my strength continues to increase, this immortality will also increase dramatically."

Qin Ming's eyes burned with passion.

"Besides the Netherworld Regeneration ability, I also sensed during the advancement that the fifth-tier Myriad Soul Banner was still just the foundation, and the truly powerful Myriad Soul Banner was the sixth tier!"

Just like when a cultivator advances from the realm lord level to immortality.

This will be a qualitative change.

"But advancing again is extremely difficult."

It not only requires a powerful immortal-level main soul, but also has extremely terrifying requirements for flesh and corpses.

Compared to advancing from the fourth to the fifth rank, this is ten thousand times, even a hundred thousand times more.

……

"Owner."

Inside the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the frail figure of the Zerg Queen gracefully landed beside Qin Ming. Her butterfly-like wings fluttered in the breeze, and her captivating azure eyes gazed gently at Qin Ming.

"Um, do you have a name?"

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Having grown accustomed to the ferocious and menacing monsters within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, the sudden appearance of such a beautiful main soul is truly a feast for the eyes.

“Master, my name is Irina,” said the Zerg Queen.

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Irina."

Qin Ming nodded, then looked at the spherical mother nest with a diameter of 800 meters inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"I have already refined your physical body into a flesh and blood puppet. After it becomes the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner, can you still control the original mother nest to spawn insectoid warriors?"

“Master, although my physical body appears to have recovered, it is actually dead. The life force of the accompanying mother hive has also withered, and it can no longer breed Zerg warriors.”

Irina shook her head, her voice gentle.

"so?"

Qin Ming sighed with some regret. He had thought he could create a Netherworld version of the Zerg, but it seemed he was too greedy.

“Master, although I can no longer breed Zerg warriors, my other abilities remain. For example, the many soul techniques I have mastered can still be used normally, and may even be more powerful.”

Irina's soft, penetrating voice rang out.

"If the master wants to possess a Zerg army, he can purchase a batch of Zerg warrior corpses and refine them into flesh puppets. I will control them, and they can still unleash combined attack power."

"Or, I can control the millions of souls within the Myriad Soul Banner and launch a combined soul attack!"

"A combined soul attack is far more powerful than a pure energy attack!"

Qin Ming was startled, but then a look of joy appeared on his face.

Control millions of flesh-and-blood puppet Zerg warriors!
A million-soul combo attack!

This is the true power that the main soul of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner should possess.

Leaving aside the fact that they can control Zerg warriors to attack, the ability to manipulate millions of souls and launch a combined soul attack is already quite astonishing.

With Qin Ming's innate talent in his soul, he could also control a large number of monster souls to launch a combined attack.

Even at his full power, he could only control around 10 at most, while the Zerg Queen was ten times stronger than him!
As expected of a unique life form born with ten thousand soul origins.

Its mastery of the soul is astonishingly powerful.

Of course, a major reason for this is that Qin Ming is only at the Stellar level, and how long has he been cultivating?

If his strength is also at the World Lord level, he might be able to control the souls of a million peak World Lords.

even more!

"It's a pity that the Myriad Soul Banner only has you and your eleven peak-level Insectoid warriors at the World Lord level. Otherwise, with the combined power of a million souls, it would be enough to make the Immortal King suffer a terrible fate."

Even now, I am no longer afraid of ordinary immortality.

Qin Ming felt both pleased and somewhat regretful.

Soul attacks and energy attacks are different.

Although it requires a certain amount of charging time, once the target is locked, the burst is extremely fast, making it almost impossible to dodge.

Irina shook her head slightly.

During the war in the outer battlefields, her Zerg warriors were almost wiped out.

Only eleven peak-level Zerg warriors remained; all the other low-level Zerg warriors had perished.

The Zerg Queen, a World Lord-level being, already possesses her own inner world.

Therefore, the massive Zerg army was built up and stored in the inner world, accumulating in peacetime and releasing it during battles.

As a result, she was ambushed by Hu Yanbo, and before she could release the eleven peak-level world lord insectoid warriors, she fell into a soul slumber.

With her fall, these peak-level Zerg warriors who were once world lords also perished, devoured by the Myriad Soul Banner.

Currently, Irina commands the souls of eleven peak-level Zerg warriors who are Realm Lords within the Myriad Soul Banner, five immortal puppets, and a large number of Domain Lord and Cosmic-level monster souls.

In addition, there are the Soul Domain, Domination, Netherworld Regeneration, and other abilities granted by the Myriad Soul Banner.

Qin Ming is truly not afraid of ordinary immortals.

And, it's not just that.

Irina can use the secret techniques and other methods related to her soul during her lifetime.

Furthermore, with the enhancement of the soul realm, its power becomes even stronger.

“The corpses of peak Realm Lord Zerg are easy to obtain; you can buy them as long as you have the money. But the souls of Realm Lords are much harder to harvest; you have to kill them yourself.”

……

Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

After successfully advancing to the fifth tier of the Myriad Soul Banner, Qin Ming experimented with it and familiarized himself with its abilities before immersing himself in cultivation once again.

No matter how powerful the Myriad Souls Banner is, it is ultimately just an auxiliary tool.

The key is to become strong yourself!

During his cultivation, his understanding of laws, soul techniques, illusions, and close combat abilities steadily improved.

He would occasionally venture into the Qianwu Continent to train and engage in battles.

Harvesting a batch of souls and flesh.

Qin Ming's strength is improving, and Luo Feng is also improving at an astonishing rate.

In just over six months, an Earthling clone was created.

The ability to create clones is closely related to the strength of the Golden Horned Beast itself and the intensity of its internal space.

In the original timeline, when Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, the Golden Horned Beast had only recently entered the Stellar level.

Furthermore, it can consume some ordinary metals on Earth.

Therefore, it took more than a year to create the Earthling clone.

Now it's different. With the resources provided by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, he naturally consumes the optimal metal ratio to improve, reaching the ninth level of the stellar level in a very short time!

With strong capabilities, the gestation speed is naturally fast.

The moment the Earthling clone was created, it immediately took a Domain Lord-level bloodline potion, maximizing its Earthling talent.

Furthermore, he has a guardian who guides him through the path of breaking through to immortality using the fundamental method of the law of metal, and he can occasionally pay homage to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. Under such circumstances, how could his progress not be fast?
In the second year, the Golden Horned Beast went straight to the cosmic level!
They were a step ahead of Qin Ming.

This allowed Luo Feng's understanding of the Law of Metal to rapidly advance.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, Luo Feng chose a second clone, a space-type special life clone with extremely high potential.

Although the level of life is not particularly high, it is only 30 times higher.

However, the biggest difference between special life forms and ordinary life forms is not their superior talents.

Rather, it is the primordial universe's favorite!
Ordinary life forms, even those as powerful as the Golden Horned Beast with peak bloodline, can only increase their life level by 100 times.

Special life is different.

As long as there are resources.

Theoretically, it can be increased to 10081 times.

Its potential is far beyond the first level.

Qin Ming also congratulated him on this.

Of course, while Qin Ming and Luo Feng's strength soared, the strength of a group of Earth geniuses, including Hong and Lei Shen, who came to the Qianwu Secret Realm together, was also rapidly improving.

However, their progress was naturally far slower than that of Qin Ming and Luo Feng.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The day has finally arrived when Qin Ming's first clone, the Mountain Giant, was born.
