Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 235 The Nether World! Ten Thousand Souls Banner Split Pole
"interesting!"

A smile appeared on Qin Ming's lips.

The upgrade of the sixth-order Myriad Soul Banner not only allowed Qin Ming to break the limitations of the original universe and increase his gene multiplier, but the biggest change was that it was upgraded to the Netherworld Space of the Netherworld!

This strange space is like the divine kingdom of an immortal powerhouse.

Not only can it allow Elena and others to entrust their lives to the divine kingdom, thereby continuing their ascension to immortality.

It also possesses power similar to that of a divine kingdom.

For example, the Gate of the Underworld is a version of the God Kingdom teleportation in the Underworld!
Normal teleportation within a divine realm leaves behind the rules for teleporting using divine power coordinates; the underworld can also achieve this.

The coordinates left by all the souls within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls are universal.

Qin Ming wasn't too surprised by these things. What really interested him was that the Netherworld could be located through the souls of the dead!

For example, at this moment, he sensed places where many lives had died, and he could teleport there whenever he wanted!
By combining his location with that in the virtual universe, Qin Ming easily pinpointed the place with the strongest aura of death—the infamous extraterrestrial battlefield!
The extraterritorial battlefield is a super battlefield for the four peak races of the primordial universe and their affiliated forces.

The most terrifying battlefield in the entire primordial universe.

Humans, demons, insects, and machines—the six most powerful races in the universe—have adjacent territories, intense conflicts, and frequent major battles.

In order to keep the war under control, the four major races joined forces to open up a battlefield outside the region.

Except for those stronger than the Venerable, who are not allowed to enter the battlefield, everything else is permitted.

This turned the entire extraterritorial battlefield into a giant meat grinder.

As it developed, it later became a super training ground for the four major races and many other races in the primordial universe. Almost all the powerful races would send their strongest members into it.

Like the human race, all core members of the Virtual Universe Company who reach the level of World Lord must enter the extraterritorial battlefield and obtain certain battle merits before they are allowed to leave.

The mortality rate of realm lords who enter the extraterritorial battlefield is terrifyingly high, with a mortality rate of at least 90% in all 12 battlefields!

Furthermore, every 1000 epochs, a large-scale inter-clan war will take place in the extraterritorial battlefield, where even the most powerful and immortal kings have a very high probability of perishing.

Its mortality rate exceeds 99%!

How could there be no death on such a battlefield?

"The Gate of the Underworld? The Gate of Pursuit of Death?"

Qin Ming whispered.

And this is just a minor ability in the Netherworld.

Looking at the Netherworld, which had devoured the last of the divine kingdoms and grown to a diameter of 3600 billion kilometers, Qin Ming's heart stirred, and the entire Netherworld immediately emitted an astonishing suppressive force.

Following his gaze, the power landed on the body of one of the immortal flesh and blood golems.

"Roar--"

Amidst the roar, this immortal demon lord felt a vast power surging from all directions, suppressing him completely.

In the midst of his desperate outburst, even this immortal military lord could not withstand the pressure and knelt down directly.

clang!clang!clang!
A series of chain sounds were heard, and a silver chain suddenly appeared in the void, binding the Immortal Lord's body directly.

Then, another earthen-yellow chain extended from the void, binding another part of the Demon Race's Immortal Army Lord's body.

Then another golden chain stretched out from the void.

Chains, born from the void, each one silent yet imposing, bound him with irresistible power.

The aura of this immortal military lord began to weaken continuously, even weaker than that of an ordinary realm lord.

Worldwide suppression! Locked down by the chains of law!
This is the power of the Netherworld. Once you enter the Netherworld, it's like entering a divine kingdom, where you will face the suppression of the entire world.

The Myriad Souls Banner is essentially a domain-specific treasure.

After advancing to the sixth rank, this ability is significantly enhanced.

They even developed something akin to authority.

That materialized chain of laws is the manifestation of authority.

The strength of these law chains and the Netherworld space is related to the laws that Qin Ming himself has mastered.

The stronger the Netherworld, the stronger the suppressive force.

The stronger one's understanding of the laws, the stronger the binding power of the chains of laws.

brush!
With a wave of his hand, the oppression of the world and the chains of its laws vanished.

Subsequently, Qin Ming had several other Marquis-level beings, as well as the most powerful Blood Wolf King's soul, try it out one by one.

"This suppressive power is much stronger than ordinary domain treasures. Ordinary immortals will be directly suppressed, and the strength of king immortals will also be greatly weakened."

"The power of the Netherworld can also be projected onto the soul realm to enhance its power."

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Each advancement of the Myriad Soul Banner not only brings forth new abilities, but also significantly strengthens its existing ones.

After five advancements, in addition to the most basic abilities, the essence of flesh and soul was refined.

It already possesses six major abilities: first-order clone ability, second-order soul domain, third-order flesh and blood regeneration, fourth-order domination power, fifth-order Netherworld regeneration, and now the sixth-order Netherworld world!
These six abilities, excluding the ability to create clones.

Qin Ming's most frequently used methods undoubtedly involve the most basic extraction of flesh and blood and the essence of the soul, followed by the soul domain and flesh and blood derivatives.

As for the power of domination and the regeneration of the underworld, they have never been used.

Because both of these abilities are combat abilities!

The power of command can integrate a large number of souls into the body, making one person an army!
For example, if he were to integrate the immortal souls of Irina, the Blood Wolf King, and the Purple Lightning Marquis into his own body, his strength would inevitably surge to a terrifying level in a short period of time.

However, this kind of domination places a huge burden on the soul, causing it to tear apart.

Although the regenerative abilities of the underworld can repair such damage, the excruciating pain in the soul is unavoidable.

Why would Qin Ming put himself through this for no reason?

Under normal circumstances, both clones possess high-level King-level combat power, so there's no need for a sudden power-up. Of course, this is the current situation.

Once we enter the battlefield outside the domain, things will be hard to say.

In those battlefields, there are many powerful figures who are at the limit of the King level or even invincible at the King level. Even if you are strong, you may still encounter danger.

This is why Qin Ming chose to upgrade the Myriad Soul Banner to the sixth rank first.

"The power of the Netherworld is not only something I can use; those with authority, such as the main soul within it, can also wield it. I can even solidify this ability."

With a thought, Qin Ming caused a large amount of blood to fly up from the blood pool at the core of the Netherworld.

These purest essences of flesh and blood transformed continuously in mid-air, eventually turning into a smooth, white jade-like banner of countless souls.

wow——

The bright moon overhead scattered pure spiritual power.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ming waved his hand and extracted a fragment of space from the Netherworld Space, placing it inside the White Bone Myriad Soul Banner, creating a space with a diameter of about ten thousand miles inside.

"The branches of the Myriad Soul Banner can be used for teleportation, positioning, combat, and so on. They can even be granted certain permissions for use in soul attacks, casting soul domains, and so on."

Qin Ming's eyes were thoughtful.

By combining the Netherworld Teleportation, the main souls of the Myriad Souls Banner, such as 'Irina' and 'Blood Wolf King', can be sent on missions, hunting and fighting independently.

After advancing to the sixth rank, the core of the Myriad Soul Banner is now the Netherworld.

The stronger the Netherworld, the stronger its abilities, such as world suppression and law chains.

The way the Netherworld grows is no longer simply by devouring flesh and souls; it can also grow by devouring divine kingdoms!

This requires hunting down a large number of immortals!
Qin Ming alone is naturally less efficient than many main souls working together.

Furthermore, if Qin Ming were willing, he could even bestow this ability upon ordinary cultivators, treating it like a treasure.

Of course, the ability of the Myriad Souls Banner to split into poles was granted by the authority of the Netherworld Space, and Qin Ming could take back its ability at any time if he wished.

The so-called "split lever" is essentially just a kind of authority.

With this permission, he can directly extract a portion of the soul from the soul when the branch devours it, or secretly manipulate and corrupt its owner.

The so-called "Ten Thousand Souls Banner Split Pole" was a use he suddenly came up with.

To put it bluntly, even if you obtain a fragment of the Myriad Soul Banner and refine it, you only have partial access; you're basically just a lowly laborer.

For example, he could customize the Myriad Soul Banner to only collect souls, refine the soul's essence, and then set the distribution ratio to 20/80, or even 1%.

From then on, one can reap the rewards without fighting, gaining large quantities of souls and even the remains of divine kingdoms.

As the true ruler of the underworld, he is the super administrator, capable of making changes at will.

It's not impossible to even create a super power based on the Netherworld.

However, this would greatly increase the likelihood that the Myriad Soul Banner would be exposed to everyone.

Of course, the Myriad Soul Banner is Qin Ming's biggest trump card. He wouldn't do something like this if he didn't have enough confidence; the risk is too great.

It would be better to go to the outer battlefields and harvest a group of alien races, then have them work for you.

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is still too mysterious to me. I need to slowly explore its many functions."

By breaking through the rules of the universe, at the fifth level, its status is even stronger than that of a soul-type treasure!

There are too many strange and wondrous things about it.

……

Three days later.

Qin Ming's consciousness logged into the virtual universe and checked an email sent by the virtual universe company.

The email's subject was 'Domain Master-Level Highest Score Task'.

Qin Ming's eyes flickered. His goal at the Domain Lord level was to obtain a King-level soul in the Eighteen Star Prison to advance the Myriad Soul Banner.

With the Lord of Darkness's guidance, the objective has been achieved.

Staying at the Domain Lord level is no longer very meaningful; if he wanted to, he could break through to the World Lord level at any time.

"Let's see what the mission is first. If it's easy, we'll do it. If it's too troublesome, we'll just break through and then go to the outer battlefield after a period of seclusion."

With that thought in mind, Qin Ming opened the email.

"This task is the highest-scoring task for members of the Primal Secret Realm (Domain Lord level)."

They served as jailers in the Eighteen Star Prison, managing the prisoners within the prison.

Starting from the first Star Prison, and continuing until the final eighteenth Star Prison.

The maximum stay on each floor is 10 years.

Based on performance, you can earn up to 10 points per level, for a total of 180 million points.

Additional Rewards: If all eighteen Star Prison missions are completed, Virtual Universe Company will award additional points based on the overall performance of the missions. The minimum additional points are 0, and the maximum are 100 million points.

and so--

The highest score mission, with the basic score plus the final bonus score, can yield a maximum of 280 million points!
warn!warn!
Serving as a jailer in the Eighteen Star Prison is extremely dangerous, and you may choose to terminate the mission during the process.

"Ok?"

Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw this so-called highest score mission. It wasn't a mission at all; it was just a way for him to observe the Eighteen Star Prison.

The illusion technique he cultivated, "Eternal Reincarnation," in which "Eternal Reincarnation" represents "Eighteen Hells," which was created by imitating the Eighteen Star Hells.

"I originally intended to leave directly, but since that's the case, I'll stay and study it for a while. I'm also quite curious about the situation in this Eighteen Star Prison."

Qin Ming smiled slightly and clicked on the mission details.
