Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 177 Arrival in Chaos City, Paying Homage to the Lord of Darkness
The battle of geniuses has ended.

The Nine Swords Venerable and 1008 powerful immortals left, while the other geniuses were left behind by the staff.

How vast is the universe?
These 1000 geniuses are scattered across various cosmic nations, and are extremely far from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. Therefore, the Virtual Universe Company arranges spaceships to pick them up.

If they were to pilot the spaceship themselves, it might take them hundreds of years to arrive.

The F-class spaceships dispatched by Virtual Universe Company can reach fifty times the speed of light, so their speed is naturally much faster.

Besides that, there's the issue of security.

Even geniuses like Luo Feng and Bo Lan are too vulnerable in the face of immortals. Once they are targeted and ambushed by alien races, they will almost certainly die.

After each Genius Battle, it is the time when many alien races are most active.

Even with Qin Ming's talent, it wouldn't be safe for him to be picked up and dropped off by a regular virtual universe company's spaceship.

Qin Ming's talent was so great that even the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Darkness were alarmed and wanted to take him as a disciple. If other alien powerhouses were to come, they would at least be at the King level.

Therefore, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom will personally escort Qin Ming to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and into the Initial Universe!
Once we reach the initial universe, we will be truly safe.

No alien race dared to assassinate anyone within Chaos City.

That's not assassination, that's suicide!

……

Inside the cultivation room of the Heavenly-level Manor in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Qin Ming looked relaxed.

For him, the Genius Battle was merely a stage to showcase his strength; the real deciding factor was his decade-long, unwavering effort beforehand.

The results of this battle of geniuses were much better than expected.

For Qin Ming, who had decided to walk the path of the soul, becoming an apprentice of the Lord of Darkness was undoubtedly the best choice.

"We can break through now."

With a smile on his lips, Qin Ming stopped suppressing his power.

He had reached his limit years ago, but he deliberately suppressed himself for several years just to participate in the Genius Battle.

At that moment, a thought arose.

The nine miniature stars in the sea of ​​consciousness began to expand in size, and then exploded violently after expanding to their limit.

Then, like the avatar of a mountain giant, it formed a large number of nebulae, star clusters, dust and numerous tiny planets within its body, forming a spiral galaxy with eight spiral arms.

Moving from the stellar level to the cosmic level represents a major breakthrough.

Both the body and soul will reach a new level, and their willpower, thinking speed, and other abilities will be greatly enhanced.

However, having experienced the breakthrough of the Mountain Giant, Qin Ming didn't feel much about this.

"My mountain giant avatar is also about to break through to the Domain Lord level, leave the Qianwu Secret Realm and come with me to Chaos City to carry out missions in many cosmic secret realms."

Rumbling--

The mountain giant located in the Guiyan Stone Mother Mine stood up and transformed into a six-armed giant that could support the sky.

Compared to when it was first born, this six-armed giant is now much larger, spanning a full nine thousand kilometers, and standing there it is as majestic as a mountain peak.

With the Mountain Giant's talent and enormous size, once it breaks through to the Domain Lord level, it can easily slaughter ordinary peak Realm Lords!

Even its absolute defensive talent might not be able to break through its defenses!

Qin Ming naturally wanted to take him away.

Of course, the presence of numerous flesh and blood puppets within the Myriad Soul Banner is not the primary reason for its popularity in combat.

Through the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, Qin Ming learned that many secret realms within the Virtual Universe Company contained numerous top-tier mineral veins, providing a great opportunity for the Mountain Giants to grow.

In the secret mission realms of the Virtual Universe Company, almost every one contains hidden legacies and treasures!
For example, the Blood Crystal of the Blood Continent, or the inheritance of many Demonic Gods in the Demon Mountain Secret Realm, etc., some of these mission secret realms also have special mineral veins.

It would be a disservice to the Mountain Giant's talent not to collect such free resources.

…………

Three days later, at the Qianwu Temple.

Qin Ming and Luo Feng stepped inside. At this moment, both of their auras had reached the cosmic level, indicating that Luo Feng had also taken the opportunity to break through in the past three days.

"Everything's ready? Let's go then."

On the throne in the temple, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom wore a smile.

Since he was going to send Qin Ming over, he would naturally bring Luo Feng along as well. To him, bringing one person or two people made no difference.

"Teacher, are you ready!"

Qin Ming and Luo Feng both bowed slightly, their expressions showing a hint of anticipation.

The Primordial Chaos City!
The most central place of the human race will also be the treasure land where their strength will leap forward once again!

"Let's go then."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded slightly, and then a vast spatial fluctuation enveloped the two of them.

The Kingdom of God is teleporting!
A violent energy surge caused a beam of light to shoot into the sky.

Qin Ming felt his surroundings suddenly change, and when he came to his senses, a supercontinent floating in the starry sky appeared in front of him.

Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters!

This is a supercontinent hundreds of times larger than the Qianwu Secret Realm!

"It's ridiculously big."

Luo Feng's expression was one of shock, a shock that they could not avoid even after spending more than ten years in the Qianwu Secret Realm.

"Hahaha, naturally it's enormous! The headquarters of this virtual universe company is tens of light-years away. Back when this continent was built, countless top experts were mobilized."

This is incomparable to the Qianwu Secret Realm.

The Lord of Ganwu Kingdom smiled.

As the oldest ruler of the universe among humankind, he witnessed the birth of this continent.

This continent is not just an ordinary void continent.

It is also a top-tier war fortress.

Behind this continent lies one of only two entrances to this primordial universe.

It is the most vital and essential place for the human race.

"Let's go, I'll take you inside first."

brush!
With a single step, the King of Qianwu Kingdom carried Qin Ming and Luo Feng at breakneck speed, as if the surrounding space had been compressed.

Clearly, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord's understanding of spatial laws has reached an astonishing level.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the entrance to a passage near the mainland.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was very familiar with this place. After wandering around for a while, he directly entered another passage.

"We need to travel to the initial universe through the cosmic passage. Both of you are still weak, so the process will be a bit uncomfortable. It will be more comfortable in the spaceship."

As the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom entered the passage, he looked at Qin Ming and Luo Feng, and with a flick of his finger, a jet-black metal spaceship appeared.

"Thank you, teacher."

Qin Ming and Luo Feng both nodded slightly, and then followed the Qianwu Kingdom Lord into the spaceship.

Before this, they were all guided by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, traveling through the universe in their physical bodies. "I am the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, opening the cosmic passage."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said calmly.

The sound traveled through the spaceship to the outside world.

"Yes!"

A deep voice responded from the outside, and then the spaceship continued forward, as if entering a strange passage.

"It really hurts!"

Qin Ming felt a throbbing pain in his head. He tried to open his eyes but couldn't see his surroundings clearly. Luo Feng, who was next to him, was in the same situation, and both of them turned pale.

"We are now in the passage between the original universe and the original universe."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at Qin Ming and Luo Feng and said with a smile.

"The time flow rate is different between the initial universe and the primordial universe, which causes the time flow rate to be disordered within the channel, making you feel somewhat uncomfortable."

"Things will be better when we're stronger."

Qin Ming nodded with difficulty; in this peculiar situation, a cosmic-level power was clearly far from sufficient.

"The flow of time is disordered, it's truly amazing."

Despite his discomfort, Luo Feng looked around at the blurry surroundings.

Although they couldn't see anything, that clearly couldn't stop their curiosity.

After about five or six minutes, the discomfort disappeared.

"We have now entered the initial universe."

The Lord of Qianwu Kingdom.

Qin Ming and Luo Feng looked around curiously. Under the control of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, the exterior of the spaceship was clearly visible.

The sky outside was dark, with only occasional wisps of chaotic air drifting by.

In the distance, one can faintly see the sky and earth sometimes cracking open, with a large number of strange and mysterious patterns flowing at the edges of the cracked space.

The silk threads intertwine, and countless secret patterns float on the threads.

Just like a loom, it weaves the world ever larger.

"Is this the legendary law governing the universe?"

Before they arrived, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had given the two a briefing on the basic situation of the initial universe, as well as the three famous treasures of Chaos City!

This first treasure is the universal law of operation, which can be seen with the naked eye.

Although I knew it beforehand, I could only feel the shock when I actually saw it.

It was a shock that could not be described in words.

Subconsciously, Qin Ming wanted to comprehend this law.

"The primordial universe we live in is incredibly vast, enormous, and perfect."

"That's what the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said."

"Because it is perfect, it is impossible to reveal the laws of operation, and it is very difficult to understand it."

"In the initial universe, it could be seen directly with the naked eye."

You can see how the various laws combine perfectly with each other, how the universe was formed, and how the rules operate.

Everything is directly visible, making it much easier to understand.

"Don't rush to comprehend it yet. As members of the Genius Battle, you've been in Chaos City for about 100 years."

The time ratio between the initial universe and the proto-universe is 1:3.28.

So you have 30 years to reflect on this here.

Seeing the appearances of Qin Ming and Luo Feng, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and said.

"Especially Qin Ming, you still need to visit your other teacher. You can't keep him waiting. He is the greatest being in the universe."

One should maintain a respectful attitude towards it.

"is teacher!"

Qin Ming immediately stopped his comprehension.

Luo Feng, standing to the side, couldn't help but cast an envious glance at them.

He also knew that after Qin Ming passed the Trial Tower, he was noticed by the most powerful universe lord among the human race and was taken as a personal disciple.

The Lord of the Universe is an existence even greater than the Supreme Being of the Universe.

"We've arrived at Chaos City. Let's go down first."

The spaceship hatch opened, and the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom flew out first, followed closely by Qin Ming and Luo Feng.

Their gaze also turned to the city below.

Within Chaos City, there are rows of small buildings, and on the rooftops of many of these buildings, one can see humans of various appearances and powerful auras sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Many of those powerful auras were comparable to Alex's, clearly indicating that they were all immortal beings.

Some of these people were carving on the rooftop, while others were muttering something to themselves.

At the farthest point of the cosmic rift, one can vaguely see beings standing in mid-air.

Many of these beings were looking at Qin Ming and the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom personally led the group here, and these two are his disciples."

"The King of Qianwu Kingdom is really lucky this time. Both of his disciples are so outstanding, especially the one named Qin Ming, who actually managed to pass all the trial towers."

It is said that he has already been taken as a personal disciple by Lord Youhou.

"His talent is amazing!"

At the edge of the rift in space, powerful beings chatted among themselves, some of whom possessed an aura no less than that of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Qin Ming and Luo Feng silently followed behind the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

He could sense that there was a great deal of immortality here.

Even immortal powerhouses were very restrained within Chaos City, not daring to release their aura recklessly.

However, more than ten powerful auras shot straight into the sky from the entire Chaos City, which even cosmic-level beings like Qin Ming and Luo Feng could clearly sense.

"Chaos City is the core of our human race. Over countless years, many geniuses have come here, and naturally, many powerful individuals have emerged from it."

Seemingly noticing something amiss between the two, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom offered an explanation.

"I brought you two here directly, and you're not familiar with the rules here. I've sent them to you in the virtual universe, so you can check them out yourselves later."

"Let's go to the city lord's mansion first."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom led Qin Ming and the other two onto the main street and walked towards a magnificent and imposing building in the center of the city, which was more than 300 meters high.

Just as the three of them entered the initial universe, two powerful figures emanating boundless auras from within the city lord's mansion looked over.

"Junior brother, your disciple has arrived."

　It's past midnight, and I've reached 1.2 views! I'm about to create my second clone, a special soul-type life form. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
