Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 234 Sixth-Order Ten Thousand Soul Banner!
Rumbling--

The long-awaited roar came, and the entire Netherworld trembled violently, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.

Qin Ming was also filled with excitement.

at last!

After devouring countless flesh and souls, and judging and slaying a king-level immortal, the Myriad Soul Banner finally completed all its accumulation.

Mysterious patterns kept flashing on the body of the Myriad Souls Banner, as if some earth-shattering change was taking place.

Inside the courtroom, however, all was silent.

The powerful figures from the five major forces stared blankly at Qin Ming, none of them expecting that a high-level King-rank expert would perish like this.

Their gazes fell upon the Heavenly Dragon Star-Breaking Halberd in the hands of Queen Irina.

Look at the black coating on the halberd blade.

"It's Casometal!"

Black Blade King's pupils contracted. For all immortals, weapons made of Kasor metal were absolutely the most terrifying.

Even if a high-ranking king's power is restricted by chains.

It would be extremely difficult to kill someone at the peak of the King-level realm; it would require gradually destroying his divine body. Yet, he had absolutely no power to resist this battle halberd!
"Your Highness Qin Ming, I will send your judgment to the higher-ups for their evaluation."

After realizing what was happening, Black Blade King spoke.

Members from the other five major forces around him also looked at Qin Ming with inexplicable expressions in their eyes, especially the members of the Giant Axe Arena, many of whom were quite angry.

Any immortality bestowed upon a king is extremely precious.

Over hundreds of millions of years, the number of powerful kings among the entire human race has never exceeded one hundred thousand.

Even if someone commits a serious mistake, they are usually not executed directly. Instead, they are sent to the Eighteen Star Prison or to the outer battlefield to accumulate military merits and atone for their sins.

As long as one accumulates enough military merits or achieves a breakthrough in strength, one will be exempt from punishment.

Even being thrown into the Eighteen Star Prison is, in a way, a form of training!
In the original timeline, Venerable Fiery was driven mad by his only son, Nightmare Candle King, who was narrow-minded, jealous of geniuses, and hated True Evolution King. He directly threw him into the Ninth Star Domain Prison for 1000 epochs.

Once it came out, the Nightmare Candle King immediately became obedient.

Some ruthless individuals even voluntarily enter the Eighteen Star Prison to hone their skills.

Ultimately, in a world where great power resides within itself, strength always reigns supreme, rather than simply good or evil.

"Well, if there's nothing else, then the trial is over. If you have any complaints, feel free to report them to the higher-ups."

Of course, you can also come directly to me.

Qin Ming glanced around and finally focused his gaze on the powerful figures in the Giant Axe Arena.

Qin Ming remained noncommittal about the genius selection strategy of the Giant Axe Arena.

That could indeed cultivate a group of geniuses.

However, the condition of the trained personnel is another matter.

The king, who was being watched by Qin Ming, was furious but dared not say anything. He had already sent the message to Venerable Burning Heaven, and Venerable Burning Heaven would handle the rest.

Before becoming a strong person, he offended people everywhere.

He doesn't even respect the Supreme Beings of the Universe; he's too arrogant, and might just perish.

What about Koti? He still perished early on.

Seeing that none of the powerful figures from the five major forces spoke up, Qin Ming stopped waiting and turned to leave. Black Blade King led the way, arranging Qin Ming's accommodations in the Star Prison Palace.

Qin Ming's mission is not over yet, and he will not leave immediately.

……

After casually finding a place to sit cross-legged, Qin Ming's consciousness sank into the space of the Myriad Soul Banner, controlling the Myriad Soul Banner to continue its transformation.

Advancing from the fifth to the sixth rank is a qualitative change!
It was far more astonishing than the previous five transformations.

Not to mention the massive number of corpses he purchased, Qin Ming also went on a killing spree in mission worlds like Visca, hunting down countless monsters and other creatures.

After reaching an agreement with several senior brothers and obtaining enough treasure points, he purchased a large number of top-tier corpses from the garbage star field, including quite a few immortal corpses.

The amount involved is so large that it requires approval from higher authorities.

Fortunately, Qin Ming was a top-notch pharmacist, so although the Dark Lord and the others were surprised, they didn't pay too much attention.

This trial resulted in the execution of dozens of immortals.

Nine of them were even granted the title of Marquis!
The blood pool formed after countless corpses were refined surged, the Netherworld expanded once more, and the bright moon in the sky grew even brighter.

Rumbling--

In a very short time, the entire Netherworld expanded to tens of billions of kilometers and is still expanding at an astonishing rate, with its spatial intensity becoming increasingly dense.

Qin Ming looked up at the endless void. He could feel that as he broke through, the connection between the Myriad Soul Banner and him became closer and closer. The entire Netherworld Space seemed to have become another body.

The entire world is under my control!

At the center of the Myriad Soul Banner, the Blood Wolf King, Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Sword Marquis, and other refined souls, which had been completely transformed into fragments of soul imprints, roared to the sky.

The entire Netherworld is undergoing a profound transformation.

A change that Qin Ming could not comprehend, yet was deeply shocking.

When the Netherworld undergoes its transformation, the soul feedback triggered by the advancement of the Myriad Soul Banner also arrives.

To Qin Ming's surprise, there was no pain as he had imagined.

A chilling power emanated from the Myriad Souls Banner, immersing his soul, which had become incredibly refined through countless trials, within it.

With the Myriad Soul Banner at the center of his sea of ​​consciousness as its core, countless soul threads emanated, weaving together Qin Ming's entire soul.

It encompassed both the River of Souls and the Mountain Giant, two avatars.

A crisp snapping sound rang out.

Qin Ming felt as if some kind of shackle had been broken at this moment.

"This is?"

As if struck by inspiration, Qin Ming activated the power of Blood Luo, and a beast god roaring diagram formed by countless blood-red patterns appeared on his chest.

Bloodlust's power amplified a hundredfold!
In an instant, an incomparably powerful force surged into his heart.

A thousandfold increase in gene amplitude!
His human form's genetic makeup increased by a factor of 1000 at this moment!
"The rules of the primordial universe have been broken!"

Qin Ming was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, the upper limit of life levels for non-special life forms in the primordial universe is 100 times.

Just like in the past, his life level was naturally enhanced by the growth of his soul, reaching 10 times the genetic level, and he also incorporated 100 drops of the blood of the Beast God.

However, even after activating the power of Bloodlust, Qin Ming's gene multiplier was still only 100 times!
As far as he knew, there was only one treasure capable of breaking through this limit.

That is the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual"!
The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the reincarnation of the God-King!
This is why he went to Earth to find the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

He might not use it.

But getting your hands on it first is definitely the right thing to do.

Unexpectedly, when the Myriad Soul Banner broke through to the sixth rank, it also broke this rule.

However, this is only the beginning.

As the Netherworld expanded and transformed, streams of information entered Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The underworld?"

With a hint of something inexplicable, Qin Ming looked towards the center of the Myriad Souls Banner, where the Blood Wolf King, Golden Sword Marquis, and other immortals had just been incorporated into it.

As the main souls of the Myriad Souls Banner, their strength can also be enhanced.

In the past, their foundation was the divine kingdom, but now their foundation has become the Netherworld space within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!
At this moment, Qin Ming sensed a strange connection between them and something in the void.

Looking up at the endless void outside the Netherworld, the Netherworld trembled slightly with that strange connection, as if it were being pulled.

After a while.

Qin Ming's pupils contracted as he saw a vast world, seemingly from another dimension, being dragged out of the spatial turbulence in the endless void.

"This is a divine kingdom! The divine kingdom of the Golden Sword Marquis!"

This divine kingdom is shattered, riddled with countless cracks, and all life within it has long since perished.

This is a dead kingdom of gods!

It's not just about devouring flesh and soul.

The Netherworld within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is so powerful that it even seeks to devour the divine kingdom of immortal powerhouses!
"What is the state of the Netherworld of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? It can even devour a divine kingdom."

As it drew ever closer, it eventually bordered the underworld.

As if devoured by an unparalleled ferocious beast, the divine kingdom, with a diameter exceeding 10 billion kilometers, continued to crumble and merge into the underworld.

As the Netherworld devoured this divine kingdom, it grew ever larger amidst the deafening roar.

Then one by one, divine kingdoms were dragged out from the endless void, including the Blood Wolf King's divine kingdom!

Shocked by what he saw, Qin Ming's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Qin Ming had a good understanding of the Divine Kingdom.

The Divine Kingdom was built by the World Lord after he broke through to the Immortal Realm, by fusing spatial fragments from the spatial interlayer within his inner world.

The space is divided into thousands of layers.

The first layer is space debris.

The second level is the Kingdom of God level.

The third layer is the space torrent layer.

When a normal powerful being tears through space, half of what is torn apart is fragments of the first layer of space.

Space interlayers are terrifying places, but space debris layers, which are closest to the 'original universe,' pose very little threat.

Some realm lords are able to resist those spatial fragments.

The 'Divine Kingdom Layer' is relatively stable, and immortal gods can generally survive there. The spatial fragments there are much larger, with some having diameters of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Beyond the Divine Kingdom layer lies the Space Torrent layer.

The further out you go, the greater the threat becomes; even powerful immortal gods may perish deep within the spatial torrent.

Just like the ocean, the deeper you go, the bigger the waves become.

Qin Ming also knew that if he continued to fly deeper, he could even reach the cosmic membrane, tear it apart, and directly enter the cosmic sea!

For the safety of their divine kingdoms, all immortals would try their best to hide them in the deepest, most remote places, and this was especially true for the most powerful divine kingdoms.

The divine kingdom is the foundation of immortal and powerful beings.

Once the divine kingdom is shattered, there will be no possibility of further breakthrough.

The primordial universe was too vast.

It is also extremely rare for them to destroy the enemy's divine kingdom.

But at this moment, the Netherworld within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls seemed to be in a higher dimension, dragging out one divine kingdom after another hidden in the spatial layers.

Eat it bite by bite!

As he devoured more and more, the Netherworld grew stronger, and Qin Ming also figured out some of its abilities.

For example—the Gate of the Underworld!
