Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 171 The Struggle Between the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Darkness
"The Lord of Chaos City is looking for me?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was startled, but when he saw Qin Ming on the screen, who was indiscriminately slaughtering the mechanical puppets of the Trial Tower with the power of the world, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

I didn’t expect that such a powerful being as the Lord of Chaos City would notice Qin Ming so quickly.

Speaking of which, as the most ancient and supreme being among humankind.

Both he and the Lord of Chaos City were powerful figures who rose to prominence in the early days of the primordial universe. Unfortunately, his potential was eventually exhausted, and he was stuck at the level of a high-level Venerable in the endless era.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Chaos City advanced triumphantly, becoming the supreme ruler of the universe.

Unless one day he can comprehend the laws of time.

Only when space and time are self-contained and one breaks through to become the master of the universe can the two once again exist on the same level.

He was actually only one step away from that point!
Although above the High-Level Venerables are the Cosmic Overlords and the Top-Tier Cosmic Overlords,

Strictly speaking, this cannot be considered a level.

But the record!

Generally speaking, if a high-level Venerable has two or three ordinary treasures and creates a set of ultimate secret techniques for cosmic overlords, their full power can rival the power of the most ordinary cosmic lord when they do not use their treasures.

Then one can be called the overlord of the universe.

As for the top cosmic overlords.

That's something only a special life form, or someone with a special life form clone, can do.

Before a normal life form breaks through to the level of a universe master, its genetic level can only reach a maximum of 100 times.

Special life forms, if they can raise their genetic level to 8000 or 9000 times, and combine it with top-tier secret techniques, can often be called top-tier cosmic overlords.

With their powerful divine bodies and high-level treasures, they could fight each other for a long time, even against the Lord of the Universe.

For example, the mountain giant that Qin Ming's clone material came from, the Black Sky Lord, was known as a top cosmic overlord because of his extremely high life level, six high-level treasure divine hammers, and innate secret techniques!
There are only three such beings in the entire human race!
Unless one day he suddenly has an epiphany.

"Although I can't do it, my disciples might be able to!"

A sense of relief appeared in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler.

He actually didn't have much hope for improving his skills anymore.

Perhaps it's because it's been resurrected too many times.

He could feel that his potential had been further diminished, and that it was almost impossible for him to break through.

Although this restriction is not obvious.

Just like how humans in secret realms find it extremely difficult to break through to the level of Cosmic Venerable, or how humans in the Divine Kingdom find it difficult to break through to Immortality.

It's as if something is missing from my soul.

It's not that there's no chance at all, it's just that it's more difficult now.

After calming himself down, the King of Qianwu stopped thinking about it. He needed to fight for better treatment for his disciples!
brush!
In the virtual universe, guided by a wisp of his consciousness, he entered a vast and desolate world.

As far as the eye can see on this vast, boundless world, there are corpses everywhere.

Some of these corpses were as large as planets, while others were smaller than humans, but each of them contained a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Many are no weaker than him.

However, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom didn't feel much, since it was all virtual.

His gaze fell upon a tall, robust man, about three meters tall, not far away.

The man was dressed in a complex and ancient dark red battle armor, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.

When the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom saw this tall and imposing man, he couldn't help but lower his head. The boundless cosmic laws emanating from that vast aura were a realm he had pursued but could never reach.

"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom spoke respectfully.

"Qianwu, congratulations on training a good disciple."

A hint of a smile appeared in the calm eyes of the Chaos City Lord.

The Lord of Chaos was in a good mood for discovering a genius with the potential to become a cosmic overlord.

Endless eras have passed.

"luck."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom raised his head and smiled.

"I discovered his extremely powerful soul talent by chance in the Qianwu Dojo, so I summoned him into the Qianwu Secret Realm."

Unexpectedly, he also possesses the ability to create clones!

"Clone?"

The Lord of Chaos nodded slightly; it wasn't surprising that someone with such talent could create an avatar.

"What special life did he possess?"

"No! This is his own talent. I suspect it's most likely because his soul talent is too strong, a gift from the primordial universe!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head, and then continued.

"His talent for creating clones is called Soul Splitting. The clones he creates are similar to those of the Golden Horned Beast. He can create one clone each at the planetary, cosmic, and world lord levels."

However, unlike other forms of avatars, the strength of their ability to create clones is directly related to the soul.

Soul Split Talent? A Gift from the Primordial Universe?
Even the Lord of Chaos City was moved upon hearing this; this was no ordinary matter.

His soul was so powerful that the primordial universe bestowed upon him talent!

"Did he create several clones?"

The Lord of Chaos pressed for an answer.

"One! He has only conceived one clone so far, a mountain giant clone just like the Black Sky Lord! He wants to conceive a special soul-type life form for his second clone, but he hasn't found a suitable one yet."

His soul talent is also extremely powerful, reaching 20 times the soul amplitude in just a few years... In addition, he has excellent talent in comprehending the laws.

Before the Mountain Giant's clone was conceived, it took only five years for it to successfully comprehend the first nine of the essential laws of space.

After acquiring the Mountain Giant clone, he has already mastered the first 36 types.

"I'm already comprehending the 42nd one..."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not hide anything and told everything.

Mountain giants also come in many varieties.

Such as Qin Ming's six-armed crystal giant, or the God of Craftsman's transformation into a mountain range tens of millions of kilometers high with hundreds of huge glass arms, are also mountain giants.

Qin Ming's clone is one of the top-tier mountain giants.

Not only his clones, but also Qin Ming's soul talents, his understanding of laws, his illusion talents, and so on, were all explained in detail.

Because he knew this was the best opportunity to secure the best treatment for Qin Ming.

The Lord of Chaos City is a top-tier existence even among the Lords of the Universe, and he controls the most powerful force in humankind: the Virtual Universe Company.

Even the slightest benefit would be enough for Qin Ming to enjoy.

As the Lord of Chaos listened, the light in his eyes grew even brighter.

Two more clones have not yet been conceived!

Exceptional soul talent and ability to comprehend the laws!

This is not just the seed of a cosmic overlord, it is at least the seed of a top cosmic overlord, or even the seed of a cosmic master!
It should be noted that over the long years, he only had 31 direct disciples under his command, of whom 26 are still alive. Among them, 25 are Universe Venerables and 1 is a peak Immortal King.

The ruler of the universe? Not a single one!

Even the slightest possibility of becoming the master of the universe is an extremely heaven-defying talent!

Even his disciple 'Kodi,' who was once hailed as a genius appearing only once every ten million epochs, is probably far inferior to Qin Ming in terms of talent!
Because Qin Ming possesses the ability to create clones!
And it's an extremely powerful clone ability!

The ability to create clones also has different levels.

For example, the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones can produce three clones, but the clones produced generally cannot exceed ten times its own genes.

That is, about 100 times the number of genes.

Only those who are extremely powerful, with exceptionally strong inner worlds, can have their potential for reproduction increased.

However, he is clearly no match for Qin Ming.

The first clone is a top-level special life form with a life level more than 300 times higher.

So, the second and the third?
His soul strength is now far greater than it was in the past!

And this is the key to Qin Ming becoming the master of the universe!

There are two ways to become the master of the universe.

One path is the spacetime path, which is to fully comprehend the laws of space and time.

Successfully fusing the three spatial mysteries can make one a Space Venerable, fusing the three temporal mysteries can make one a Time Venerable, but if one comprehends both...

That is the self-contained spacetime, breaking through to become the master of the universe!
Qin Ming has an extremely high talent in spatial laws and also has a clone like the Mountain Giant, so he only needs to choose a top-tier time-related special life form, or simply a spacetime-related one.

He spent some time contemplating during his time as a Realm Lord, comprehending the fundamental laws of time.

Once they break through to immortality, they will at least be invincible kings, and have the potential to become cosmic venerables in a short period of time!
Just like Venerable Fire Erosion.

The probability of becoming the master of the universe in the future is naturally extremely high.

Alternatively, one could follow the path of the Beast God, which means comprehending a certain lower-level fundamental law, and then comprehending and integrating that lower-level law with the corresponding higher-level law.

It is also possible to break through to become the master of the universe.

Even someone like Qin Ming, once he breaks through to become a Universe Lord, would be considered extremely powerful among Universe Lords!
This instantly captivated the Lord of Chaos City.

If Qin Ming were taken as a disciple and properly trained, he might become a top-tier universe lord in hundreds of thousands or millions of epochs.

"This talent is truly astonishing!"

The Chaos City Lord's gaze toward the Qianwu Kingdom Lord grew ever brighter; it seemed the Qianwu Kingdom Lord's fortunes had truly turned around.

With this disciple, he no longer needs to worry about his debts.

3.8 Treasure Points are a lot for the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, but they are nothing to a top-tier cosmic overlord or cosmic master.

"I intend to take him as my disciple. What do you think?"

Without much hesitation, the Lord of Chaos City spoke directly.

In the universe, it is quite normal for a disciple to have multiple teachers.

Of course, in the capacity of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Needless to say, even if a cosmic overlord or even a top cosmic overlord were to take a disciple, it would probably not mean much to Qin Ming.

However, the master of the universe is another concept altogether.

"I……"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was overjoyed and was about to speak when the surrounding space suddenly trembled, and another figure appeared.

This was a tall figure shrouded in black clothing and enveloped in a black aura.

His skin was as white as jade, but his face was a blur, so much so that even the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler couldn't see through it.

"Senior brother, Qin Ming wants to pursue the path of the soul, which is not quite compatible with your path."

"How about making him my disciple?"
