Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 205 Lord of Youhou? My disciple can wait a little longer.

Ancestral God's Tomb, Temple of Inheritance.

Inside the main hall of the Heritage Palace, on the Heritage Staircase.

Irina stood on the first step, closed her eyes, and silently accepted the secret magic emanating from the steps.

This is a special inherited secret technique called "Supreme Necromancer's Secret Technique".

This set of secret techniques is mainly divided into two aspects.

One is the foundation.

The second is necromancy.

Ninety-nine percent of the secret techniques are basics. Once you have a solid foundation, you can easily master the subsequent secret techniques.

And the foundation is the amplitude of the soul!
This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the Zerg Queen, a race with 10000 soul essences.

Moreover, after becoming the main soul of the Myriad Soul Banner, in a sense, Irina is no longer simply the Zerg Queen, but more like a soul life form.

A soul life that reaches a life level 100 times higher!

This undoubtedly gave her a huge advantage when learning this secret technique.

Upon stepping onto the first level, she quickly mastered the cultivation technique, and then rapidly climbed the second and third levels...

……

"The legacy of the Necromancer is indeed extraordinary, no less than the Dark Soul technique that my teacher bestowed upon me."

With his consciousness possessing Irina's body, Qin Ming was also sensing the secret technique being transmitted.

As the true master of the Myriad Souls Banner, all souls are under its control, and his consciousness can easily descend upon them.

This is one of the reasons why Qin Ming was unwilling to accept the inheritance himself.

The divine inheritance, at its peak, makes one a cosmic overlord.

"It all depends on how far Irina can hold on."

He separated a portion of his consciousness and attached it to Irina to sense the mysteries within the arcane arts, allowing the River of Souls clone to deduce the beneficial aspects and absorb its essence.

Qin Ming stopped paying attention to it and began to focus on his own cultivation.

The inheritance of divine generals in the Ancestral God Sect, once begun, cannot be stopped. One must continuously cultivate and advance; the process of cultivation is also a test of will and consciousness.

Once you can no longer withstand this torment and stop cultivating, the inheritance will automatically end.

"During this time, I can also take the time to sort out myself and master all the cultivation systems."

The inheritance won't end so quickly. In the original timeline, it took Luo Feng 12 years to receive the inheritance from the Demon Sound God, increasing his mental power amplitude to 3600 times.

This time should naturally be used well.

To be honest, ever since Qin Ming embarked on the path of cultivation, he has been cultivating and improving under intense pressure, and has never had a proper chance to relax.

During his time on Earth, he had to face a monster crisis and do his best to improve himself.

After entering the universe and becoming an apprentice of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, he also prepared for the Genius Battle with all his might.

For 30 years, Chaos City has been cultivating with every second counting.

This kept him constantly on edge, but once his strength reached the cosmic level and he began carrying out cultivation missions, that tension finally eased.

For others, a dangerous mission is a matter of life and death.

Missions in dire situations are about surviving against all odds.

But for Qin Ming, this stage was the one where he felt the least sense of crisis.

Each task is like a resource point; it's up to you when you go to collect them!
Even in dire situations, this applies.

What's a dire mission for a cosmic-level being is far too easy for an immortal, especially after Irina completes her inheritance.

According to the rules set by the Virtual Universe Company, cosmic-level geniuses can accept cultivation missions in cosmic secret realms, domain lord-level geniuses are sent out, and world lord-level geniuses undergo life-or-death trials.

Universe-level geniuses can only take on a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years.

A cosmic-level genius, a critical mission; members of the Primal Secret Realm can accept a maximum of three such missions.

Dangerous missions, a maximum of 15 members of the Primal Realm can accept.

Qin Ming had no intention of letting any of these tasks slip by; he would complete them one by one at a speed.

Collect the resources within to complete the initial accumulation.

Then he directly broke through to the Domain Lord level.

Whether it's a dangerous mission or a mission in dire straits, it contains significant opportunities.

Once you leave the secret realm, it will be too difficult to easily obtain so many resources again.

Whether it's the mountain giant's clone, the river of souls, or the human being itself, the resources required to maintain rapid advancement are astonishing.

This is an opportunity we must seize.

The real test will come when one breaks through to the Domain Lord level, especially when one becomes a World Lord.

"My main cultivation path right now is still the laws of earth and emptiness, and I try to improve my understanding of these laws as much as possible."

Although the cultivation speed decreased after leaving Chaos City.

However, with the Soul River clone's extraordinary soul talent and thinking speed, its actual progress will only be faster than its progress within the Chaos City!

Besides comprehending the laws, one can also dedicate some energy to studying the essence of life and the soul, laying the foundation for later cultivation.

Consciousness descended into the space of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Within those enormous palaces, individual soul entities, branched off from the River of Souls, either comprehend the laws or cultivate secret techniques.

Or they might travel through palaces, using special instruments to prepare potions and create puppets.

During his three years of training on Visca, Qin Ming did not neglect his training even while hunting.

The progress of the two top-tier secret techniques, "Black Hole Evolution" and "Dark Codex," has greatly accelerated due to the appearance of the Soul River clone.

In particular, the Dark Scripture, which contains secret techniques related to the soul, is cultivated through the River of Souls, making its difficulty decrease by a thousandfold.

And apart from that.

What delighted Qin Ming the most was the research on the essence of flesh and soul in the study of the "Bloodline Record" and "Soul Forging" in the secret techniques of pharmacists.

Because of his powerful soul, he progressed very quickly in learning these two secret techniques.

The more thoroughly he understands the essence, the faster he can cultivate the secret techniques of soul amplitude and body amplitude.

They have even gradually developed some understanding of the essence of different levels of life.

According to the Bloodline Record, this secret method is divided into ten levels.

These correspond to the ten ranks of bloodlines in the human race.

Relying on his multitasking talent from the River of Souls and his incredibly fast mental processing speed, he has already been able to concoct a fourth-grade bloodline potion!
The fourth-grade bloodline is already at the level of an adult star!

This gave Qin Ming a profound understanding of the structure and composition of life.

On this basis, it will naturally be easier to learn secret techniques such as the "Black Hole Battle Body".

The same applies to the Soul Forge arcane technique.

Qin Ming already possessed an extremely thorough understanding of the essence of the soul, and even more so, he had the extraordinary talent of soul control. In addition, the Soul Forge provided further analysis of the essence of the soul.

This allowed him to advance further in his mastery of the Dark Soul arcane arts.

Three years have passed, and the amplitude of the soul has increased from 32 times to 33 times.

This kind of progress is quite remarkable.

Whether it's the amplitude of the soul or the amplitude of the body, it becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progresses, yet Qin Ming continues to improve at a rapid pace.

"The 'Soul Origin' is too powerful, but if it is refined into a potion and weakened or diluted, it will be an excellent soul potion."

It can earn me a lot of cultivation resources!

Inside the palace, a soul sub-entity took out a transparent potion.

This is a soul potion he concocted using the soul potion preparation method from "The Soul Forge," with the soul essence of a cosmic-level monster as the core ingredient. For apothecaries, only novice apothecaries follow fixed methods to prepare potions; truly powerful apothecaries possess a profound understanding of all things in the universe.

It is possible to design unique drugs that target its characteristics and maximize its effectiveness.

"My skill level in medicine is still too low. I can forget about making money from it; as long as it can help my cultivation, that's enough."

With a gentle shake, Qin Ming's soul entity swallowed the potion.

Then silently experience the effects.

His Soul Control talent allows him to easily identify the effects of potions and make optimizations and adjustments.

The Netherworld Regeneration ability granted by the Myriad Soul Banner allows Qin Ming to repair himself at any time without fear of problems with the potion.

In this way, the speed of cultivation will naturally be faster.

“‘Dick’, ‘Bull’, ‘Blood Feather’, you three take the mechanical race’s spaceship to collect resources, especially Death Soul Jade. I need more Death Soul Jade!”

With a thought, Qin Ming spoke to the three high-level military lords' immortal souls who had just stabilized their divine power.

With them, we don't have to do the task of collecting resources ourselves.

High-level immortals can practically do whatever they want on Visca.

Two thousand or so pieces of such precious treasures as the Death Soul Jade are definitely not enough. Although the Demon Clan Royal Court was wiped out by Irina's combined attack, the most precious treasures were swallowed up by the spatial turbulence.

However, there are still many scattered among the people, and a search should yield quite a few more.

"The refined 'soul essence' may be an important treasure for Master Qianwu. When I become stronger, I can find an opportunity to give some to him."

……

Virtual universe, a specially formed dimension.

Inside the majestic temple, a winged man shrouded in blue armor, radiating endless chill, had a livid face and eyes that seemed to reflect the endless starry sky. His voice was hoarse.

"What, do you think I'm easy to bully? The opportunity to inherit the Necromancer's throne was obtained for my disciple, Blue Ice King, at a great cost, and it's just gone like that?"

"Sir!"

A middle-aged man standing below the main hall bowed.

"It's not that there aren't any, but we'll have to wait for the next batch!"

"The next batch?!"

The man with the icy wings spoke with an increasingly chilling voice, filled with boundless killing intent.

"The succession of the Necromancer God requires an interval of 10081 epochs! Each batch has a maximum of 32 people. I have spent so many treasures and invested so much."

Now you're telling me that the disciple's spot has been taken.

Haha, who's got the guts to do that?

Why do you insist on taking my disciple's spot?

He is a venerable being, one of the greatest and eternal beings in the human race of the universe, and few in the universe can make him yield.

The legacy of the Necromancer God!

This is one of the greatest opportunities in the universe. As long as you cultivate step by step, your strength will improve dramatically.

His disciple, Blue Ice King, is considered quite powerful among the kings. If he could receive the inheritance, his chances of becoming a Venerable would increase significantly.

How could he not be furious?
Next batch?
That's a hundred million years from now!

If he finds out who it is, even if the other party is also a cosmic venerable, he will not let it go.

The middle-aged man remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"According to our investigation, it was His Highness 'Qin Ming,' the newly accepted disciple of Lord Youhou, who accidentally stumbled in while carrying out a mission on Viska Star."

According to the vote, Blue Ice King was the last one to receive a spot.

so……"

"The ruler of Youhou?"

The man with the icy wings froze, a picture of an arrogant and domineering great being flashing through his mind.

"Even if he is a disciple of the Lord of Youhou, he cannot arbitrarily steal my disciple's spot, can he? I will definitely report this matter to the Lord of Chaos City..."

His voice softened.

"Alright, my disciple Blue Ice King's accumulation is indeed still a bit lacking, it's fine to let him wait a little longer. But next time, my disciple must be in first place!"

……

Thunder Mountain, Chaos Temple.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at a piece of intelligence with a headache, information about the planet Visca.

"Qin Ming's talent is indeed strong, and he also has a special life clone like the River of Souls, which can even enslave the Zerg Queen."

They're just a bit too restless.

Taking some resources is fine, but wiping out the entire demon royal court is going too far.

And this Death God General's inheritance—he won't accept it himself, but instead lets the Zerg Queen do it?

The intelligence report clearly documented the scene of the million Tiger-Armored King Insects' combined attack completely destroying the entire Demon Clan Royal Court, as well as their subsequent intrusion into the Ancestral God's Tomb.

Compared to these, the resources plundered by those three immortal gods are nothing.

"Alas, it might be a good thing to let him be registered under the name of 'Lord of Youhou'."

If Qin Ming were to become his disciple, this matter would indeed be quite difficult to handle.

After all, in his position, if his disciples did something too outrageous, no matter how he dealt with it, it would be wrong.

The ruler of Youhou was different.

He was notoriously arrogant and domineering, so no one dared to say anything.

"After this little guy's antics, almost all the immortal demons on Visca Star are dead, and even the world lords are being harvested by him."

It's inappropriate to rank it first among the most dangerous missions.

With his strength, if he acted this recklessly in other mission worlds...

Thinking of this, the somewhat troubled Lord of Chaos City still contacted the Lord of Darkness.

It's not really appropriate for him to discipline them directly; it's better to let the Dark Junior Brother handle it himself.

……

"To tone it down a bit?"

Qin Ming looked somewhat embarrassed as he saw an email sent by the Dark Lord teacher in the virtual universe.

However, the teacher didn't say that it wasn't allowed, so it's okay to do it!

Once Irina has received the inheritance and her strength has increased again, and she also has the immortal main souls of three high-level military lords, she should no longer need to use the move of attacking a million insectoids.

The price/performance ratio is too low.

It felt great to fire it.

However, the returns were essentially zero.

Ignoring all that, Qin Ming immersed himself in cultivation.

Time also flew by during the practice.
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm? Has the inheritance ended?"
Reaching floor 5286 and entering the second phase is not bad.

They also obtained a divine treasure, the 'Divine Shock Thorn,' worth approximately 300 million Chaos Units.

Qin Ming, who was immersed in cultivation, raised his head.

"It's time to leave since we've already spent so much time on the first mission world."

　Today is Children's Day, and I took the kids out to play, which delayed my update. I'm really sorry. I'll make it up tomorrow! Also, I'd like to ask for your monthly votes.
