Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 226 High-level combat power for the title of King!

The Mountain Giant, the World Within.

The vast, yellowish-brown continent, originally spanning 10 billion kilometers in length and width, began to frantically absorb the endless yellowish-brown aura surrounding it, and fog enveloped the entire continent.

However, this breakthrough was different from previous ones.

As it absorbed massive amounts of mineral essence, this vast continent did not expand further, but instead collapsed and became smaller and smaller!
The more mist it absorbs, the smaller the continent itself becomes, while the entire internal world space grows larger.

Just a moment!

The diameter of the entire internal world space is ten times larger than before, while the vast continent, which is 10 billion kilometers long and wide, is constantly collapsing within the mineral essence accumulated over hundreds of years.

It transformed into a black sphere.

Just like a black hole, countless dark golden runes appeared on the black sphere.

The secret runes formed a strange pattern, far more complex than those in the Beast God's Roar diagram, radiating an endless, terrifying, twisting, and devouring power.

"What is this? A black hole?"

Qin Ming's eyes held a hint of doubt. He did not have the memories inherited from the mountain giant and did not know what was going on.

However, such a naturally occurring situation is obviously not a bad thing.

With his authority within the virtual universe company, he knew that many powerful beings would encounter strange situations when breaking through to the realm lord level.

For example, the breakthrough of the Golden Horned Beast will condense the metal continent inside its body into a Golden Horned Boundary Stone!
It was a Golden Horn Boundary Stone condensed from the true essence of gold within the massive inner world of the Golden Horned Beast. It contained the attributes of gold and space, making it a true treasure.

That was also the Golden Horned Beast's most important treasure.

The reason this happens is that when breaking through from the Domain Lord level to the World Lord level, the inner world is no longer a simple form of energy.

Instead, it will become a normal internal world with rivers, mountains, and water, where life can live!
The earthen-yellow continent inside the mountain giant's body is actually a condensation of earth and spatial forces, unsuitable for normal life to survive.

At this moment, the essence of a continent spanning 1 billion kilometers within the mountain giant's body collapsed into a black hole with a diameter of about 10 meter!

……

As the inner world underwent dramatic changes, the mountain giant's 'core' also began to change dramatically.

"Boom~~"

The Soul Crystal and the Force Crystal melted into a liquid torrent under the influence of an invisible force.

The two torrents began to collide. When the spiritual power and the Force of Origin touched, the first wisp of world power was born when the consciousness and will merged for the first time!
The moment the power of the world was born.

Qin Ming's consciousness, as if resonating, sensed the origin of the vast universe.

This wasn't the first time Qin Ming had sensed the origin of the universe.

When the Law of Earth was acknowledged and he entered the ocean of the Law of Earth, his consciousness entered into it.

This is an incomparably vast land, an endless expanse where every grain of soil seems to be a space, and within that space exist endless cosmic crystals.

A grain of sand contains a world!

Every world contains countless cosmic crystals.

When Qin Ming's consciousness came into contact with the origin of the universe, a channel was opened between the 'inner world' and the 'original origin of the universe'.

The endless primordial energy of the universe, the 'Power of the World,' surged into the inner world like a flood, instantly filling the space within the body!

Although Qin Ming's inner world was already extremely exaggerated, reaching 1 billion kilometers and then expanding 10 times to a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.

However, this space is far too insignificant compared to the energy contained in the origin of the universe.

When breaking through from the Domain Lord level to the World Lord level
It was a gift from the primordial universe, instantly filling the entire inner world.

As he thought about it, the world inside his body began to evolve according to his wishes.

"Creation of heaven and earth!"

Following Qin Ming's thoughts.

It formed on a vast continent with a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers.

The continent is round, and its interior is filled with various strange phenomena, such as continuous volcanoes, endless glaciers, and continuous metal veins.

Aside from various extreme environments, it's mostly the normal world.

Mountains, lakes, plains, and even inland oceans with a diameter of over 100 million kilometers.

"Endless creation, life!"

Qin Ming entrusted everything to the natural evolution of his inner world, which naturally gave rise to many plants, flowers, mountains, and so on.

For just a moment, the entire internal world is no different from the real world.

"The inner world is complete."

The mountain giant's own inner world has been successfully formed.

Once the evolution of the inner world was complete, the large amount of primordial energy of the universe that had not yet been used up quickly transformed into cosmic crystals, instantly condensing into a cosmic crystal mountain on the continent.

This is a scene that occurs when all domain lords break through to the next level, and it is also the first source of funding for many realm lords.

"As far as I know, the inner world of most beings who break through to the next level is generally tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter."

"And the inner world of my Mountain Giant split body, its diameter exceeded 10 billion kilometers as soon as it broke through."

……

Seeing this, Qin Ming was quite excited.

The more powerful the inner world, the more powerful the 'original core' it needs to support!
Over the years, while on mission worlds, the Mountain Giants have never stopped devouring all kinds of rare mineral veins, including many G-grade metal veins.

He and several senior brothers have begun refining the Dead Soul Jade into 'Soul Essence'.

With a steady stream of income, Qin Ming did not hesitate to invest in himself, whether it was buying or plundering, supporting himself without regard to cost.

The Mountain Giant's gene multiplication rate has also increased extremely rapidly, reaching an astonishing 2000 times!
When all the transformation is over.

The earthen-yellow primordial core of the mountain giant, after absorbing the essence of the world within its body, the essence of the primordial pearl, and the essence of the origin of the universe, became a seemingly ordinary primordial core.

But Qin Ming could sense just how hard this seemingly ordinary primordial core was!

When you break through to the realm master level.

In the darkness, Qin Ming sensed a certain message.

There are two ways to expand one's inner world: one is by absorbing cosmic crystals, and the other is by continuing to absorb rare mineral veins, etc. The first method is simple to grow in, and future breakthroughs are also easier.

As for the second path, it will be much more difficult.

As it continuously absorbs energy, the purest and most precious energy from the mineral vein merges into the black hole, while other energies drive the evolution of the inner world.

After the strange black hole transforms, traces of its essence energy will also affect the original core, making it even stronger.

The stronger the pronucleus, the stronger the internal world can be!
For Qin Ming, there was no need to consider how to choose.

One of the world rings on his body contains a vast amount of rare mineral veins, waiting for the mountain giants to continue devouring them.

"It's time for my Soul River Avatar to break through!"

A thought came to mind.

The Soul River clone also began to break through, following the same process, and the inner world eventually reached tens of billions of kilometers.

The only difference is that the growth of the space within the River of Souls does not require metal ore veins.

It is the very essence of the soul!

Within the inner world of the River of Souls, a strange crystal resembling a black hole has also formed, a soul crystal with 10081 unique facets!

By absorbing the essence of the soul through this soul crystal, such as 'soul essence', the primordial core of the River of Souls can become stronger.

"The original core worlds of the two top-tier special life forms are both tens of billions of kilometers in diameter. After growing to the peak world lord level, they can both reach at least 900 billion kilometers!"

Qin Ming was thinking in his heart.

For other practitioners, this is an absolutely outrageous figure.

But Qin Ming knew that in the original timeline, after Luo Feng used the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual to bring the Golden Horned Beast's life level to 10081, it underwent a transformation!
Let its internal world directly reach one trillion kilometers!

That is the true limit of the inner world master of the primordial universe.

When the two clones broke through, the countless cosmic crystals piled up in the original core world shattered and transformed into a powerful world force.

It was as if two torrents were flowing into the mountain giant's body, one being a torrent of world power.

Another torrent continuously flows into the River of Souls.

"Crack, crack, crack~~"

The mountain giant's entire body, covered in black crystals, emitted various sounds, and its already massive 90,000-kilometer-long body began to grow even larger.

The black crystals became thicker and heavier.

"Boom~~"

The Soul River clone completely transformed into a blood-red river, and the blood-red river became increasingly dense. As it devoured the origin of souls, it reached a body approximately 50 kilometers long, yet it did not become any larger.

There is only one way for the body to grow in the River of Souls!
That is devouring the very essence of the soul!
When the torrent of world power broke, the mountain giant's body had already broken through the 9-kilometer limit and grown to 10 kilometers.

"Roar--"

A deep roar came from the mountain giant's body, filled with boundless joy.

"Hahaha, I've finally reached the World Lord level!"

Qin Ming's human form was also laughing loudly.

Amidst laughter, the human body, still at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, began to push forward, directly breaking through to the domain lord level.

If he wanted to, he could break through to the Realm Lord level right now!

"After breaking through to the World Lord level, both the Mountain Giant and the River of Souls experienced a tenfold increase in their compatibility with the laws of the universe!"

This level of clarity regarding the rules is excessive.

With his eyes closed, Qin Ming fully experienced the vast fluctuations of the universe.

The mountain giant, with a gene multiplier of 2000 times, and the river of souls, with a gene multiplier of 3500 times, already had a law affinity that was thousands of times greater than others, and it increased by dozens of times again.

How exaggerated!
The Realm Lord level is where Qin Ming's true strength will truly erupt!

It's not just a simple increase in affinity with the laws; consciousness can also enter the origin of the universe, and those who are recognized by the Earth Law can even enter the ocean of the Earth Law!
"With my current strength, without relying on powerful treasures or supreme treasures, I can reach the King level simply by relying on the strength of the Mountain Giant itself."

If the mountain giant were to wear heavy armor and activate its absolute defensive talent...

Even high-ranking kings cannot break through the defenses unless they burn their divine power.

If it's a clone of the River of Souls, then it will be even stronger!

Qin Ming's eyes held an extremely strong sense of confidence.

Through years of fighting, his physical amplitude has also grown remarkably, reaching 18 times!
With a genetic multiplier of 2000 times and a body amplitude of 18 times, the most basic power of a World Lord reaches 36000 times!
Mountain giants can also sometimes unleash soul attacks!
Compared to his physical amplitude, Qin Ming's improvement in soul amplitude is even more terrifying, reaching 42 times!
A single soul attack can leave even a high-ranking king completely stunned!
If the attack is launched by the River of Souls, it would be even more terrifying.

Of course, Qin Ming has just broken through to the Realm Lord level and has not yet reached the peak Realm Lord level. In reality, his combat strength is weaker than that, but it is definitely at the King level.

And this is still in its bare state.

If he were to wear the treasured armor, weapons, and the Thousand Illusion Mirage Pearl, a supreme soul treasure, Qin Ming would even be confident of killing a high-ranking king!

With the addition of the special abilities 'Domination' and 'Netherworld Regeneration' from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, its actual combat power becomes even more terrifying.

Of course, this is just a simple superposition of forces.

Qin Ming's understanding of the laws is still some distance from the advanced level of being a King.

The title of "Advanced King" generally refers to possessing approximately 3 times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord and comprehending a profound spatial mystery.

Furthermore, those who are granted the title of king or higher possess immortality.

Ordinary attacks are simply incapable of harming a King-level expert.

"Tell Teacher Darkness that the human body has also broken through to the Domain Lord level. Please help me transfer him to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and arrange for him to be sent directly to the Eighteen Star Prison."

"Slay a King, allow the Myriad Soul Banner to break through, and then we can go directly to the outer battlefield for some unbridled slaughter!"

A hint of joy appeared in Qin Ming's eyes.

He had waited too long for this day.

"Yes, and also, we should slightly modify several of our precious weapons, coating their blades with a layer of Kaso metal. This will make it much easier to kill a King who is immortal."
