Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 175 Luo Feng's Brilliance, Undercurrents Surge
"They passed! They actually passed! The myth that no one had ever passed the seventh trial tower in countless eons has been broken!"

There was disbelief in the eyes of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Although, when he saw Qin Ming unleash the sixth level of the Divine Weapon, the Universe World, he had thought that Qin Ming might pass.

But when Qin Ming actually passed, he still couldn't believe it.

No one has gone before!

"The black light on his body at the end must be the core secret technique of 'Black Hole Evolution', 'Black Hole Battle Body'. This secret technique is extremely suitable for him."

Seeing Qin Ming, who fought his way through the insect swarm with overwhelming force and ferocity, and then stormed into the nest to kill the insect queen, Venerable Bei Ming smiled.

He clearly guessed why Qin Ming was skilled in this secret technique.

After all, the Mountain Giant's talent is most likely related to this aspect.

"Hehe, I have to thank Brother Beiming for this."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the lips of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord. Having learned that Qin Ming had successfully become the master of the Universe Lord, he no longer cared much about it.

The purpose of the trial tower is to provide Qin Ming with better treatment and resources.

Clearly, he has achieved his goal.

As a genius like Qin Ming, as long as he doesn't die, he's destined to become a high-ranking member of humanity!

Such an unparalleled prodigy, being taken as a disciple by one of the top cosmic masters among humans, will undoubtedly receive the best training.

His future achievements are limitless.

As he spoke, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom immediately transferred his contribution points to Venerable Beiming and his five other friends.

"Huh? Qianwu, what's this?"

The Northern Monk's eyes narrowed, his expression showing surprise and doubt.

"Hehe, the Lord of Chaos City just summoned me."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled.

"Qin Ming has been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City?"

The Venerable Beiming felt relieved. The human race should indeed reward those who had nurtured such an unparalleled genius, but the reward was simply too astonishing.

"It's hard to say, you'll find out later."

Qian Wu shook his head slightly. The identity of the Lord of Darkness could not be made public, so the Lord of Darkness meant to first register Qin Ming under the name of the Lord of Youhou, which could be considered as the master accepting a disciple on behalf of the master.

At that time, he knew that the five treasure points given to him by the Lord of Darkness were merely for his own benefit.

According to the Lord of Darkness, as Qin Ming's teacher, if he were to be in a sorry state, it would be a disgrace to him as well.

Having said that, the shaman naturally wouldn't refuse anymore.

In the future, I will work hard and repay the Lord of Darkness.

Perhaps the Lord of Darkness didn't need it, but he remembered it.

With no debts to his name, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom felt incredibly relieved, the pressure instantly dissipating.

"Qianwu, where did you come from?"

"what's the situation?"

"So you've struck it rich?"

They contacted all five cosmic venerables one by one.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was in high spirits. He briefly spoke with the other five cosmic venerables and received a lot of congratulations.

"What's going on with you?"

The conversation between the two left the Nine Swords Venerable completely bewildered, prompting the Qianwu Kingdom King and the Northern Ming Venerable to exchange a knowing smile, but offer no explanation.

……

On the plaza, Qin Ming, who had disappeared from the Trial Tower, suddenly reappeared, and all the geniuses, even the immortals and venerables, were watching him at this moment.

They gazed at this peerless genius, a true prodigy.

Qin Ming was not surprised to see everyone looking at him.

When he decided to showcase his talent, he became aware of the need to live in the spotlight.

To gain preferential treatment in terms of resources from the higher echelons of humanity, one must demonstrate exceptional talent.

Otherwise, why would the higher-ups in humanity cultivate him?!
Why would the Lord of Darkness accept him as a disciple?

Looking at Qin Ming's figure, the tall, wild-looking young man, Rong Jun, no longer had any intention of challenging Qin Ming; his eyes were filled with admiration.

Although both he and Qin Ming followed the same path of earth and space, the difference between them was enormous.

Let alone wielding divine weapons, illusions, or other mental techniques, even in close combat with martial artists, he would be instantly killed.

When Qin Ming finally broke through the insect swarm's encirclement using martial arts techniques and killed the insect queen with the most ferocious methods, he knew that he had been utterly defeated.

Actually, by now, the winner of the Genius Battle has already been determined.

Even Bolan was thinking about competing for second place.

The gap is too big.

"Now, let's see how far Luo Feng can go."

Bolan looked at Luo Feng, who was still in the fifth trial tower, slowly and steadily making his way through the challenge, with a complicated expression.

Inside the Trial Tower, Luo Feng could also see Qin Ming's points.

In this situation, the ability to maintain composure and persevere according to one's own ideas is an extremely formidable state of mind.

Hong, who also made it to the finals, sighed slightly.

He has worked very hard, and with the help of Qin Ming, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

However, the gap between him and these top geniuses is still too great. Among these millions of geniuses, he belongs to the lower-middle level.

……

"teacher."

Qin Ming quickly walked up to the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom and said respectfully.

"Well done!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled. If it weren't for this disciple, he wouldn't know how long he would have been stuck in the mire.

"This is Venerable Beiming, my close friend. You should also thank him for your achievements today." As he spoke, the King of Qianwu Kingdom introduced Venerable Beiming to Qin Ming.

"Thank you, Venerable Beiming!"

Qin Ming understood immediately and naturally knew what the Qianwu Kingdom Lord was talking about.

"Heroes come from young men!"

Venerable Beiming also sighed, he had only helped the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom find some resources, but he did not expect to form a good relationship with him because of it.

Don't underestimate Qin Ming just because he's still weak. He has already become the master of the universe, and his future achievements are limitless.

Even his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, was reversed because of this.

"How strong is your other disciple, Luo Feng?"

"Then Venerable Beiming asked curiously."

The Nine Swords Venerable also listened intently. They had already produced a genius as extraordinary as Qin Ming. If another one were to appear, it would be truly remarkable.

"Haha, Luo Feng's talent is also quite good. He should have no problem reaching the seventh trial tower. It's just a matter of how many floors he can get to."

Even the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom couldn't help but smile. Qin Ming's talent was heaven-defying, and Luo Feng was no less impressive!

With his special life clone's talent in spatial laws, Luo Feng has already mastered the Divine Weapon to the third level!
Even the Tongtian Bridge is considered to be at the third level.

Although there is a big gap between him and Qin Ming, he would still be a sweeping victor against anyone else!
When the Lord of Chaos asked about Qin Ming, he took the opportunity to promote Luo Feng as well.

Although he wasn't accepted by the Chaos City Lord on the spot, he was still registered.

Perhaps in the future I will be accepted as his disciple.

……

Thus, under the watchful eyes of millions of geniuses and a host of immortal powerhouses, Luo Feng continued to advance steadily through the levels, one by one, without haste.

We've reached the seventh trial tower!
When the third level of the Divine Weapon was unleashed, nine golden swords crisscrossed within it, and even the 1 nine-headed pythons of the second level could not stop Luo Feng.

The third level of the Divine Weapon, also known as the Sword Domain, is most adept at group battles!
Luo Feng was clearly already extremely proficient in the third level.

However, Luo Feng ultimately collapsed on the third floor of the seventh trial tower.

The Tuoluo warriors' metallic bodies were too hard; they managed to kill Luo Feng even while enduring the golden sword.

……

In the Battle of Geniuses, the last participant in the trial, 'Luo Feng', killed 182 Tuoluo warriors, but was stopped at the third floor of the seventh trial tower.

Second place overall!
Although not as good as Qin Ming, he could still be considered a genius who appears once every hundred thousand or a million epochs in history!

Luo Feng felt the space around him shift, and he appeared in the central square. All the geniuses around him looked over, each with a complicated expression.

Qin Ming is undoubtedly the winner of the Genius Battle.

The second one is most likely Luo Feng.

The top two spots in the Genius Battle were surprisingly taken by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and in addition, there was Rong Jun, who was ranked 17th in the Trial Tower and had a chance to compete for the top ten.

Luo Feng glanced around and quickly spotted the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler and Qin Ming in the crowd. He immediately strode over to them.

"Teacher, I've let you down."

Luo Feng said respectfully.

"Haha, your results are already very good. After all, time is too short for you. If you had a few more years like your senior, you would definitely go much further!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom laughed heartily, "The seventh trial tower, third level!"

Absolutely divine talent of a cosmic master!
He would be considered a peerless genius anywhere, but his brilliance was overshadowed when he encountered Qin Ming.

Qin Ming undoubtedly gained the most from this battle of geniuses.

Secondly, it might be the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Sweeping the top two spots is an extremely rare occurrence even within the billions of years of human history.

As the group chatted and laughed, the other 1008 genius teams on the square, led by the immortal being, also began to disperse.

……

When the rankings of the Trial Tower were released, the entire universe was in an uproar.

People in all 1008 universes, especially those in the Qianwu universe, were incredibly excited, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

"Qin Ming, Luo Feng, Rong Jun!"

Throughout the entire Qianwu Universe, various online news outlets across the country are constantly promoting it, and promotional videos about Qin Ming, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun are flying everywhere.

Qin Ming's popularity in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, in particular, has reached an unbelievable level.

This is an unprecedented genius!
……

There is always shadow under the light.

Within the Qianwu Universe, on a remote, border planet.

"Master, a top genius with exceptionally monstrous talent has emerged in this year's Genius Battle. This is his intelligence information."

In the dark underground base, a bald man with a human head and a snake's body prostrated himself on the ground, respectfully addressing the immortal figure emanating a powerful aura from the Dark Throne.

"I see."

The immortal powerhouse on the dark throne had icy eyes.

He was once a genius among the human race, but unfortunately, he was enslaved by the Zerg Queen's soul in the extraterrestrial battlefield and returned to the human race to lie low.

Used for gathering intelligence or carrying out special missions.

"A disciple personally taught by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom?"
Have you passed the seventh trial tower?
If a genius of this caliber had not perished prematurely, he would very likely have become a Venerable, a Universe Overlord, or even the Lord of the Universe in the future!
This is beyond my control; I should report it to the master.”

His eyes were cold; enslaved by his soul, even immortality had caused him to lose himself.

Soul enslavement is more terrifying than death!
……

When Qin Ming passed the seventh trial tower, the news spread.

The top races that are hostile to humans, such as the Machine Race and the Demon Race, have almost all activated their secret spies and intelligence agents to frantically collect information about Qin Ming.

Once a genius of this caliber matures, he will pose a tremendous threat to other races!
How could they let Qin Ming grow up?
Amidst the undercurrents, it was as if countless venomous snakes had their eyes on Qin Ming.

However, Qin Ming was in the Qianwu Secret Realm, and with the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler personally overseeing things, he couldn't find an opportunity.

Unable to find an opportunity, they had no choice but to temporarily conceal their fangs.
