Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 222 Luo Feng's Apprenticeship Ceremony, The Value of Soul Essence!
"Do we get gifts too?"

Lord Youhou couldn't help but laugh.

Although Qin Ming was exceptionally talented, he was only at the ninth level of the Domain Lord level. Even with his special life clones and the Zerg Queen, he could barely be compared to a Marquis.

His senior brothers, not to mention himself, are at least high-level Venerables or even universe overlords!

"Then I can really look forward to it."

Venerable Bai Feng looked at Qin Ming with a smile, believing that Qin Ming would definitely have a bright future.

With three top-tier special life clones, once one breaks through to immortality, one becomes an invincible king.

Moreover, there is a high probability that he will become a cosmic venerable in a short period of time, and then leap to become a top cosmic overlord.

This was almost a natural progression.

The Lord of Darkness greeted them and instructed them to collect materials from top-tier special life forms, such as the World Tree!

As a cosmic overlord, Venerable Bai Feng also has his own network of connections.

He contacted one of the princes of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds through a friend who acted as an intermediary.

It is no secret that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds has three children, one of whom is a cosmic overlord, and the other two are cosmic venerables.

He contacted one of the cosmic masters.

The World Tree exists in the Nine Netherworld.

It is still quite possible to obtain the World Tree Branches and Leaves at a relatively low cost through this roundabout relationship.

But no matter how smoothly things go, Qin Ming's growth still takes time.

As the group chatted and laughed, a flash of light appeared before the temple, and Luo Feng's figure materialized. The group immediately concealed themselves.

Luo Feng's formal acceptance of the master should be a serious matter.

When Luo Feng saw the several figures exuding powerful auras opposite him, he was taken aback. Many of the Dark Lord's disciples were actually acquaintances!
Aside from the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, there was also Venerable Kandri, whom he had met before.

Needless to say, Qin Ming was an even bigger fish in the sea.

After calming himself down a bit, Luo Feng immediately knelt down and respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony. Only after the ceremony was over did the Lord of Darkness speak.

"Get up! These are all your senior brothers. Except for those who have fallen, they are all here. Pay your respects to your senior brothers and talk to them more."

Looking at Luo Feng, the Lord of Darkness was also satisfied.

He didn't accept disciples casually. When Qin Ming told him, he had already accessed all of Luo Feng's information through the virtual universe and determined his character before making a decision.

"This is your senior brother, Lord Youhou..."

Luo Feng immediately bowed to the Lord of Youhou.

"Hmm! You have good talent and a golden-horned beast clone. I will give you a suit of armor, hoping that you will be able to forge your own path in the future."

Lord Youhou smiled slightly, and a jet-black light flew out from his hand.

Luo Feng reached out and grabbed the strange armor formed from the dark light, feeling a surge of joy. The armor resembled some kind of mythical beast, composed of scales and complete with claws and other features.

This is actually a treasure of the combination type!

Just by looking at him, Luo Feng could feel a terrifying aura emanating from him.

If a golden-horned behemoth were to wear this treasure, its power would be absolutely terrifying.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

“This is your second senior brother, ‘Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace,’ whom you have met before.”

The Lord of Darkness smiled.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother."

"Yes, I sensed your exceptional talent and willpower when I last met you. I hope you can overcome all obstacles and become a top-tier expert."

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace chuckled and presented a long, black sword engraved with strange secret patterns.

The blade was jet black and emitted no aura whatsoever, yet Luo Feng sensed an extremely restrained killing intent when he gripped the hilt.

This is definitely a top-tier spatial combat knife!

It is a perfect match for the Void Shadow Clone.

Then came Venerable White Phoenix, who presented a pair of starry wings.

Venerable Kandri presented a dark gold shuttle, clearly a powerful artifact for telekinetic attacks.

As those priceless treasures fell into Luo Feng's hands, he was filled with emotion and finally understood what Qin Ming meant by the surprise.

This is hardly a surprise!
It's like a dream.

With these treasures, the Golden Horned Beast's clone reached a hundred times its life level, killing ordinary realm lords was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, and even immortal powerhouses could not do anything to it!
It has all the treasures for defense, flight, attack, and so on.

No wonder Qin Ming was incredibly strong in the mission world!

"Hehe, as for Qin Ming, I don't need to say anything. You two know him better than I do."

The Lord of Darkness looked at Qin Ming with a smile, his expression full of curiosity.

He also heard what Qin Ming and the others were saying.

What gift will Qin Ming bring out?

Seeing the expectant looks on his senior brothers' faces, Qin Ming smiled slightly, and a series of transparent crystals the size of a thumb appeared in his hand.

"I am not as wealthy as some of my senior brothers, so I will not give you weapons or armor. This is the 'soul essence' that I extracted from the 'Death Soul Jade'."

It is the purest source of the soul, easily absorbed. After consuming it, it will greatly enhance your soul power, improve your mental processing speed, and even your comprehension.

Qin Ming smiled and gently waved his hand, sending 100 'Soul Essences' into Luo Feng's hand.

The purest origin of the soul?
As soon as the words were spoken, even the Lord of Youhou and the Palace Master of Tianshi Palace showed surprise. Such a top-level soul treasure was no less than an ordinary treasure!

More importantly, such treasures are extremely rare!
Almost all of them are natural treasures born between heaven and earth. Even if they are discovered, they will be devoured and digested immediately.

"It's nothing valuable. Please have your senior brothers and teachers take a look."

Qin Ming smiled and sent streams of light down to his senior brothers and the Lord of Darkness, each containing 100 soul essences.

As the controller of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he is also a pharmacist.

In the future, he will likely produce many more similar, or even stronger, soul potions. With the Lord of Darkness as his teacher and several senior brothers as witnesses, there will be far fewer troubles in the future.

He needs resources!
Plenty of resources!

Whether it's the Mountain Giant, the River of Souls, or the growth of the future third avatar, all require massive amounts of resources.

And the more powerful a power is, the greater its demand for resources will be!
His strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, but his consumption of resources also far surpasses that of others of the same level!

"Soul essence?"

The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master's eyes lit up slightly. He knew that Qin Ming was skilled in potions and could even extract the blood of the Beast God.

However, the 'soul essence' extracted from the Dead Soul Jade is different.

There is no means among humankind that can achieve this!
The soul is too mysterious and elusive.

"Huh, this soul essence actually has an effect on me?"

Bai Feng Venerable probed his divine power into the 'soul essence', and as a cool power surged into his divine body, he actually felt that the soul imprint that had been completely integrated into his divine body had grown stronger!
As the overlord of the universe, although Venerable Bai Feng did not possess any special life forms, his life level had already been raised to the limit of a hundredfold.

Just by fusing with a 'soul essence', his own soul was strengthened!

He is the overlord of the universe.

Little did Venerable Bai Feng know that Qin Ming had raised the life level of the River of Souls to 3000 times through 'Soul Essence'!
Although the effect diminishes after being increased to 3000 times, it still has an effect on souls with 100 times the life force.

Immediately, the others also tried it out and experienced the effects.

Even the Lord of Darkness tried it.

Such a thing is naturally useless to the Lord of Darkness, who is a top-tier fifth-order universe lord, whose life level has long since reached ten thousand times!
"It is indeed a rare treasure."

The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace also spoke up. As a top-tier cosmic overlord, his special life clone was also at a high level, but one could still sense the extremely pure soul power within it.

As for Luo Feng, needless to say, he was able to feel the surge of his soul essence after just a slight attempt.

"How did you extract this?"

The Lord of Darkness couldn't help but look at Qin Ming, his expression full of curiosity.

The power of the soul is too wondrous.

Even he couldn't easily separate the soul power within, let alone purify it and then reassemble it.

With his strength, he could forcefully purify it, but after cleaning out the impurities, there wouldn't be much left.

Lord Youhou and the others all looked over.

"It mainly relies on the talent of the River of Souls."

Qin Ming was already prepared. A soul sub-body with a diameter of about 100 meters flew out from the original core of the River of Souls, and then a Death Soul Jade was wrapped by this soul sub-body.

With the activation of the Soul Control talent, a strange power invaded the Death Soul Jade, much like how the Myriad Soul Banner refined the souls of monsters.

"Click——"

A clear voice came.

Cracks appeared on the Soul Jade, which was formed from the essence of the soul.

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!
One after another, ferocious beast heads, constantly changing, roared mournfully in the void.

However, under the River of Souls' talent to control souls, they could only unwillingly disappear and dissipate, turning into wisps of green smoke and vanishing without a trace.

The most basic function of the Soul Control talent is to have absolute control over the soul power within a certain range, and to manipulate one's own soul or even the souls of other beings at will!
This kind of manipulation can reach the most basic level of soul particles.

Through decades of development and repeated attempts, Qin Ming's ability to perceive and control the soul has become increasingly astonishing.

By imitating the refining process of the Myriad Souls Banner, this can finally be achieved.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the Death Soul Jade shattered continuously, eventually transforming into a cloud of soul essence mist, and all the will within the Death Soul Jade was cleansed away.

"Congeal!"

With a soft shout from Qin Ming, the crystalline mist condensed again, transforming into a crystalline gem no bigger than a thumb.

"So easy?"

Venerable Bai Feng, who witnessed the entire process, was amazed.

"This is no easy feat; the manipulation of the soul is simply breathtaking! The advantages of top-tier special life forms are immense."

Lord Youhou shook his head.

For him, the power of the River of Souls was weak, but its ability to manipulate the soul with fine precision was something he could only dream of.

"Teacher, senior brother, what do you think is the value of this soul essence?"
