Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 206 The Dark Lord's Rant

In the atmosphere of Visca, the mechanical race's spaceship hovered. After leaving the Ancestral God's Tomb, Irina entered the spaceship and sped outwards.

At this moment, Irina has completed a complete transformation.

One hundred times the life force of the soul, 52 times the amplitude of the soul!
This gave her even the most basic power an astonishing 5200 times the power of a peak World Lord.

In other words, even without any equipment, Irina already possesses the strength of a high-level Marquis, approaching the peak of the Marquis level!

Furthermore, the Queen Mother's lineage is born with ten thousand soul essences, making their soul strength much stronger than others of the same level. When paired with a powerful divine weapon, their actual combat power is comparable to that of a king.

Aside from comprehension of laws, the strength of the immortal stage is mainly determined by the power of a peak realm lord.

Ordinary beginner-level immortals, who have just broken through to immortality, generally possess about 100 times the power of a peak ninth-level world lord.

Ordinary immortals are slightly stronger than advanced immortals, possessing approximately 300 times the power of a peak ninth-tier World Lord.

The strength of a Marquis who achieves immortality is equivalent to 1000 to 10000 times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord.

A power 1000 times that of a peak ninth-level World Lord is the threshold for becoming a Marquis!

Those who are granted the title of Marquis generally possess three to four thousand times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord.

If one can reach 1 times the power of a ninth-level World Lord, then one will have touched the threshold of becoming a King.

Reaching this level at the realm lord level is already extremely astonishing.

"Haha, with you, my safety will be greatly improved. I'll pick out a suitable set of weapons and armor for you when we get back."

This way, your strength can be improved even further.

Looking at Irina, Qin Ming was also in a great mood.

"I'm still a bit short. I've disappointed my master. If I could reach the second stage of perfection, my strength would be even greater."

A hint of regret appeared on Irina's stunningly beautiful face.

Besides her extremely high level of life and suitability for the inheritance of the Necromancer God, there was another important reason why she was able to persist until the 5286th floor.

It was in the hall on the 3333rd floor of the first stage that she ate a special fruit called the 'Death Soul Fruit'. After consuming it, her soul structure was modified, making her more suitable to receive the inheritance of the 'Necromancer God General'.

If she can persevere to the 6666th floor, she will be able to obtain another similar fruit, allowing her soul structure to be further transformed and more aligned with the legacy of the Necromancer God.

If one can continue to climb to the top and enter the final level of the third stage, one's soul will be completely transformed, becoming one of the 72 divine generals of the Ancestral God Sect, the 'Necromancer God General'!
This is a good thing for Irina.

But this was something Qin Ming rejected. Why would he want to modify his soul for such a small amount of inheritance?

The more Qin Ming studied the soul and explored its essence, the more he resisted any forced changes to it.

52 times the amplitude of the soul?
If you spend more time practicing on your own, you can also reach this level.

After 15 years of arduous cultivation, his soul amplitude cultivation speed was also very fast. Although it was a little worse than Irina's, it still reached 37 times!
"You're already very good! Even if I went to receive the inheritance myself, I might not be as good as you."

Qin Ming shook his head. The inheritance of the Divine General has high requirements for the soul, strength, and will. Ordinary immortals cannot even reach the first stage.

Therefore, half of those who receive the divine general's inheritance are made kings!
And they must be the strongest among those who have been granted the title of king!
Amidst laughter and conversation, the spaceship broke through the atmosphere of Huesca, plunged into the void, and flew towards the incomparably tall palace that hovered there.

Whoosh!
A black dot flew out of the temple in the void and quickly approached Qin Ming's mechanical race spaceship. It was a triangular spaceship with a diameter of 300 meters.

"drop!"

"Your Highness Qin Ming, hello. I am Greta, the quest guide. Congratulations on completing your training on Visca Star."

As the spaceship approached the mechanical race's spaceship, information was transmitted from the virtual universe. Led by this spaceship, the mechanical race's spaceship flew into the first-floor plaza of the Void Temple.

The square was filled with countless spaceships.

Judging from Qin Ming's eyesight, these were at least E-class spaceships, and there were even some F-class and G-class spaceships among them.

"Your Highness Qin Ming." The world lord 'Greta,' dressed in silver battle armor, with fox ears and a fluffy tail, led the way to one of the fish-shaped spaceships.

"Please come with me. You will be returning on a spaceship arranged by the company."

"Ok!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly. This was actually the spaceship he had come in, which was a G-class spaceship that had incorporated a special metal life form. Its speed and safety far surpassed those of the mechanical race's spaceships.

Ensuring safety also serves as a handover of tasks with them.

Determine the task completion rate.

This is also the rule of Virtual Universe Company.

……

Inside the fish-shaped spacecraft, in a dedicated testing cabin.

"Hello, Your Highness Qin Ming." A gentle voice came from the screen, "Are you requesting confirmation of your mission completion status?"

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded.

"May I ask, Your Highness Qin Ming, how many of the two missions on Viska have you completed?" the gentle voice continued.

“Both are complete,” Qin Ming said.

"Please place the first task, the materials from the 100 types of monsters listed in the map, and the second task, the 'Death Soul Jade,' into the scanning chamber."

Qin Ming took out all the materials as required.

The light swept across.

"confirm!"

"Your Highness Qin Ming, congratulations on completing the mission on Viska Star. You have received a total of 15 points as a reward," the electronic voice announced.

Qin Ming nodded slightly. Compared to his actual gains, these 15 points were just a small fraction.

"His Royal Highness Qin Ming."

A gentle female voice suddenly rang out. "The message I am about to convey to you through the Virtual Universe Network System involves the confidential information of my Virtual Universe Company. Please do not disclose it."

"Hmm—" Qin Ming was taken aback.

He knew in his heart that they would most likely talk about the 'Death Soul Jade'.

Sure enough, the voice continued.

"Your Highness Qin Ming, with your strength, you should have collected quite a few 'Death Soul Jade' on Viska Star."

The Death Soul Jade is an extremely mysterious treasure in the vast universe, capable of strengthening the soul.

These are considered 'forbidden items' in our human community. By 'forbidden items,' we mean items that are absolutely prohibited from being sold.

Once it is discovered that someone is selling them.

Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, Cosmic First Bank, and Cosmic Galaxy Bank will all take direct action to confiscate the 'Death Soul Jade' and severely punish offenders.

Qin Ming remained expressionless, but inwardly he didn't take it to heart.

Cannot be sold?

That's just because they lack the strength, and the five major powers have monopolized the market.

“You obtained the ‘Death Soul Jade’ through legal and normal channels, and we will not rob you,” the gentle woman’s voice said. “However, you can only use the ‘Death Soul Jade’ yourself.”

If you want to give it to someone else, you need to submit an application to the Virtual Universe Company first. Only after the application is approved can you give it to someone else.

If you want to sell 'Death Soul Jade', our Virtual Universe Company will handle the purchase, offering 3000 points for each 'Death Soul Jade'.

"Would you be willing to sell?"

3000 points?

Qin Ming shook his head slightly. The three high-level military lords, 'Bull', 'Blood Feather', and 'Dick', had spent 15 years collecting on Viska Star, practically turning the entire planet upside down, and had only obtained a little over 3. Even if they sold them all, they would only have 9000 million points.

According to the exchange points system for immortal powerhouses, 1 Hunyuan unit can be exchanged for 1 point.

If he were to sell the refined 'soul essence', any one of them could fetch ten times the price!

He'd have to be crazy to sell it!
Over the course of 15 years, he has made some initial progress in the field of soul potions, and by diluting and repackaging them, he can sell them for a considerable price.

But he doesn't even have enough of this for himself!
The life level of the River of Souls has been increased by nearly 2000 times thanks to the 'soul essence' refined from 10,000 'Death Soul Jade'!
and so.

"Do not sell!"

Qin Ming said.

"Okay. Our conversation ends here. Today's conversation is confidential and must not be disclosed."

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded.

Immediately, the electronic voice sounded from inside the testing chamber: "Qin Ming, the test is complete, the mission has been submitted, you may leave."

……

As the spaceship traversed the dark universe, it soon landed in the Void Land Manor, a primeval secret realm.

"Your Highness! Welcome home."

The hatch opened, and when Qin Ming stepped out, the immortal 'Quide' was already there with a group of guards to greet him.

"Well, thank you all for your hard work. You may leave now."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded, chatted with them for a few minutes, and then returned to the manor.

virtual universe.

"Selling everything we've acquired this time should yield a good number of points."

With practiced ease, Qin Ming activated the resource recycling function and entered a large number of treasures into it, which he had already scanned within his world ring.

On Visca, he slaughtered royal families one by one.

Then three more high-level immortal military lords plundered the area for 15 years. Apart from the various precious mineral veins that Qin Ming did not intend to sell, he did not intend to keep the rest.

As local bullies, the three of them found quite a few good things.

Selling these odds and ends will allow us to buy Irina a few more suitable treasures.

If you can't afford the most expensive treasures, top-tier divine artifacts are still an option.

"Your Highness Qin Ming, based on the estimated value of this batch of treasures you wish to sell, totaling 7000 million Hunyuan, would you like to proceed with the sale?" The electronic voice of the virtual universe system sounded.

"confirm!"

"The spacecraft will arrive in a day, and the specific price will be assessed on-site by professionals."

Qin Ming turned off the screen, stretched, and lay down to relax.

What he sold was merely the reaping of the accumulated wealth of those royal clans over hundreds of millions of years, including a large number of realm lord clans, which were almost completely wiped out.

Not to mention the truly valuable 'Dead Soul Jade', the various precious minerals contained within it were not for sale.

With the Mountain Giants around, their ability to detect various special mineral veins is extremely powerful.

With the Mountain Giant's innate abilities, he only needs to sink underground to quickly drain an entire vein of minerals.

"Buy some suitable divine weapons for Irina, Dick, and the other two to enhance their strength."

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming was preparing to open the treasure vault to make a purchase.

Wow!
The surrounding space suddenly shifted, transforming into the appearance of the Dark Temple.

"teacher!"

Qin Ming immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to the figure above the temple.

"Hmm, you've finally decided to come back?"

The Lord of Darkness lowered his head, a smile playing in his eyes as he looked at Qin Ming.

"Do you know that your senior uncle has been racking his brains for half a day because of your matter? Viska Star's ranking in dangerous missions has dropped directly to 186th!"

186?

If I remember correctly, there are only 186 Dangerous Mission Worlds in total?
After his rampage and the subsequent 15-year hunt by three high-level immortal military lords, the realm lords of Visca were almost wiped out.

The level of danger is naturally greatly reduced.

Did I really go a bit too far?

However, there's no other way. The advancement of the Myriad Soul Banner and the growth of the Soul River clone both require a large number of souls, and killing monsters on Visca Star is already the optimal solution.

"teacher……"

Qin Ming lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.

"We can leave Visca as it is, but we can't do this to the mission worlds afterward. These mission worlds aren't just owned by Virtual Universe Company."

The other four major powers will also come to train.

"Take it easy a little."

The Lord of Darkness didn't say much. This was nothing to him, but if it happened a few more times, his men would probably be in an uproar.

"is teacher!"

Qin Ming quickly replied that he had collected enough World Lord souls on Visca Star and didn't need them for the time being.

"Yes, I've also found a mentor for you, just apply for it yourself and select 'Blood Axe King'."

The Lord of Darkness didn't say much, but changed the subject.

"Blood Axe King?"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. As members of the Primal Zone, they could apply to have an Immortal as their mentor.

To have someone who has always lived in a pristine, secret realm to guide them.

Even when one becomes an apprentice, it is rare for a teacher to stay with the disciple for the entire time, so this is certainly a rare and excellent opportunity.

There are many intricacies involved, so Qin Ming directly asked the Lord of Darkness for guidance.

"Yes, he is at the invincible level of the King-level, and like your mountain giant clone, he cultivates the 'Black Hole Evolution,' which should be helpful to you."

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly.

"Thank you teacher!"

Qin Ming said respectfully.

A person can have many teachers.

However, their statuses are different.

Those who truly kowtow and become disciples have the closest relationship, such as the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom or the Lord of Darkness.

As for those teachers who give public lectures, you can go and listen to their lectures, but naturally, you'll become much more distant from them.

The person arranged by the Virtual Universe Company to live in the manor and guide Qin Ming had a good relationship with him, but Qin Ming did not need to kowtow to him.

"Go ahead, just try to avoid causing trouble in the next mission world."
