Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 244 Secluded Cultivation in Chaos City, Birth of the Third Avatar
Should we choose another Chaos Monument?

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. He had chosen the Dark Chaos Stele primarily because of its connection to the soul.

However, if the third entity, the World Tree, is successfully created, the Dark Chaos Monument will no longer be suitable.

Although the Dark Chaos Monument also contains guidance on the laws of time.

But it is naturally not as good as the Chaos Monument, which specifically guides time.

"Thank you teacher!"

Qin Ming expressed his gratitude.

For his own sake, Teacher Ganwu even consulted with Teacher Hei An, clearly to avoid any conflict during the teaching process.

"It's alright, it's really not a big deal."

It's just a matter of choosing one Chaos Stele. Once you're stronger and reach my level, comprehending all the Chaos Steles won't be a problem.

We're only letting you choose one because we don't want you to be too distracted.

Moreover, when one's strength is insufficient, viewing too many Chaos Steles can actually be distracting.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled and waved his hand.

An ancient being like him had long ago deciphered all the Chaos Steles, searching for that sliver of possibility for a breakthrough.

However, once one becomes powerful enough, the Chaos Stele becomes less effective.

It can serve as a reference at most.

"But this is important to me."

Qin Ming raised his glass, offered a toast, and drank it down in one gulp.

At least when he was reviewing the data, he didn't find any genius who could choose two Chaos Tablets when he was a Realm Lord.

The fact that the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom could think of these things in advance shows that he has always been considering his future path.

"Alright, I'm just telling you this now so you have a general idea. We'll discuss the specific choices after your third avatar is formed."

You can take a look at these secret techniques first. Some of these techniques were not chosen by me, but by your Dark Master.

These are all useful to you at this stage.

……

Virtual universe, inside Qin Ming Manor.

In the empty training ground, there were more than a dozen huge boxes.

There are 3600 secret manuals, which amount to tens of thousands of books.

Qin Ming opened one of the books and read it carefully, only to find that any of the secret techniques in it were no less powerful than the "Wilderness Mystic Codex" that his teacher, Qian Wu, had given him.

The treasure vault contains at least several million points.

"There are also 10 sets of precious secret techniques."

Qin Ming looked at the dark gold metal book in front of him, "The Undying Void".

The Void is indestructible and has seven levels.

Once you master the first three levels, you will be invincible below the 'Universe Venerable' level.

Once you master the first six levels, you will be invincible below the 'Lord of the Universe'.

Once you master the seventh level, you'll have a place among the Lords of the Universe!
After only reading through the first volume of "The Undying Void," Qin Ming knew that this secret technique would be of great benefit to him.

Because he chose the Mountain Giant as his first clone, coupled with his powerful soul talent, Qin Ming achieved extremely high attainments in the field of spatial laws.

While in the Qianwu Secret Realm, the Qianwu Kingdom ruler chose a top-tier secret technique called "Black Hole Evolution" for Qin Ming. This technique was indeed a perfect match for the Mountain Giant.

When the art of "Black Hole Evolution" is mastered to its extreme, black holes can be created by a punch, a knife, a sword, or even a single thought.

Those who cultivate to the highest level possess extremely terrifying power, even among the most powerful beings in the universe.

However, given that the Mountain Giants chose the "Black Hole Evolution" theory, it would not be very suitable for humanity itself to follow this path.

It's not just because the directions overlap.

More than anything, it's a waste.

Because black holes are 'ultra-high density' celestial bodies formed by the continuous condensation of countless collapsed substances, the core secret technique "Black Hole Battle Body" is moving in this direction.

This is a natural fit for the mountain giants that grow by devouring metallic minerals and are composed of ultra-high-density black crystals.

But the human being itself clearly does not possess such talent.

In particular, the human being has already broken through the limits of the original universe, and its life level has reached 10 times. If the power of Blood Luo is activated, it can reach 1000 times.

Therefore, the "Black Hole Evolution" approach is not suitable.

On the contrary, the "Void Undying" secret technique is more suitable for the human body, and the most core combat technique of this secret technique is actually a halberd technique!
Accompanying this are a set of secret techniques for flight, soul defense, and body vibration.

Clearly, this was prepared for its own human counterpart.

Instead of immediately starting to cultivate, Qin Ming looked at the next set of precious secret techniques.

Seven Kills of the Phantom God!
Unlike "The Void Never Dies", this is a pure soul attack and illusion magic technique.

It is also divided into seven layers.

The highest level is also the level of the Lord of the Universe.

"Is this prepared for the avatar of the River of Souls?"

Qin Ming suddenly realized that this was clearly targeted at someone.

Qin Ming felt a sense of familiarity within this secret technique.

The first level of "Seven Kills of the Illusionary Gods" is the Eighteen Illusionary Prisons!

Coincidence?
After carefully examining it, Qin Ming was shocked to discover that this secret technique had many similarities to the "Eighteen Hells" secret technique he had practiced in the past.

Or rather, "Eighteen Hells" is more like a foundation.

With a sudden thought, Qin Ming immediately searched for the "Seven Kills of the Illusionary God" secret technique in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company, only to find that there was no such secret technique at all!

Even Virtual Universe Company didn't include it?

Considering what Master Qianwu said—that some of these secret techniques were not chosen by him, but by the Dark Master—the reason behind this is not hard to guess.

It's likely that this "Seven Kills of the Illusionary God" secret technique was created specifically for the Dark Lord himself!
As a top-tier fifth-order universe master who focuses on the soul, creating such a secret technique is not difficult for him.

However, creating something specifically for oneself, tailored to one's own needs, is not an easy task.

Many of these secret techniques are clearly tailor-made for the River of Souls. "How fortunate I, Qin Ming, am!"

Qin Ming sighed.

With two teachers who have devoted themselves to his cause, if he still cannot achieve anything, then he would be letting them down.

He read through one precious secret manual after another.

Each one is incredibly powerful, reaching the top level of a Universe Venerable or Universe Lord.

However, their focuses differ.

For example, there is a secret technique called "Time-Space Tree Realm".

This secret technique is clearly marked as originating from the strongest World Tree!

It was clearly a secret technique that the Dark Master obtained from the strongest World Tree at some unknown cost.

He hadn't even conceived his own World Tree clone yet, but he had already acquired the top-tier secret technique that came with it.

"Before the World Tree clone is formed, there's no rush to comprehend the laws of time. I'm only a hair's breadth away from fully understanding the sixth diagram of the Dark Chaos Stele."

Qin Ming took a deep breath.

At the realm master level, he definitely needs to comprehend the law of time and have it recognized by the law.

However, it is still important to distinguish between primary and secondary matters!
At the very least, right now I need to ensure that I go further in my areas of strength, first acquire top-tier combat power, and then make up for my weaknesses.

"bring it on!"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Qin Ming's eyes.

……

After visiting the Dark Master and expressing his gratitude, Qin Ming began his cultivation journey in Chaos City.

The first thing he did was to break through to the World Lord level as well. Then he would sit cross-legged on the rooftop of his cultivation residence every day, sometimes looking up at the sky to observe the operation of the external universe laws.

The mountain giant comprehends "Black Hole Evolution," the human being cultivates "Void Imperishable," and as for the River of Souls, there is much more to learn than just "Phantom God Seven Kills."

Through each of the soul sub-bodies, they are all studying the 3600 sets of secret techniques given by Master Qianwu, and many of them are continuing to delve into the field of pharmacist.

Even the comprehension of other laws is handled by the avatar of the River of Souls.

For example, understanding the laws of metal, the laws of water, and so on.

With the several beast god statues obtained from the Blood Luo World, Qin Ming has made considerable progress in the fusion of the laws of metal and void.

As a super-large soul life form, the River of Souls operates at an astonishing speed, easily enabling it to multitask.

From time to time, Qin Ming would also visit the "Dark Chaos Stele" to verify his thoughts.

Furthermore, Qin Ming could freely attend classes under the tutelage of some King-level Immortals, making his cultivation speed several times faster than in the original universe!
……

time flies.

Listen to the teachings of the Dark Shaman and the Dark Teacher, listen to the lectures of other Kings, Venerables, and Immortals, and cultivate diligently.

Qin Ming was like a parched desert, frantically absorbing nutrients.

In the first year of his seclusion, Qin Ming gained recognition from the laws of space, and at an extremely high level.

The vast fundamental laws of space descended.

This has drawn the attention of many practitioners.

When they saw Qin Ming, they suddenly realized that it wasn't surprising that Qin Ming's talent had earned him recognition from the laws of space.

……

Nearly 100 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the rooftop, occasionally looking up at the sky and then lowering his head to think carefully.

I was completely immersed in it.

Suddenly, Qin Ming was taken aback, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

A century has passed, and the third avatar, the World Tree, is finally about to be born!

His consciousness quickly entered the Netherworld of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

The eternal moonlight of the soul falls, shrouding the entire underworld in a hazy glow.

At the center of the Netherworld is a boundless sea of ​​blood, composed of countless essences of flesh and blood.

Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood!
The sea of ​​blood churned, stirring up waves.

Looking at the emerald green light cluster in the center of the sea of ​​blood, which was 100,000 kilometers long, Qin Ming felt excited.

"almost."

"After a century of gestation, it is finally about to be born."

Qin Ming looked at the Netherworld Blood Sea, which was his last clone—the World Tree!

About three hours later.

Click.

The light disappeared from the emerald green orb that stretched for 100,000 kilometers, then contracted, and a 'small' sapling grew from its top.

The sapling is entirely emerald green, with a canopy like a royal parasol. Each leaf is crystal clear, like a carving of a crystal, and resembles a piece of emerald green jade.

Even in its early stages of development, it naturally exudes an endless aura of life.

That ball of light, spanning 100,000 kilometers, was actually a seed!
"Kakaka~~~"

As the seed burst open, countless roots extended from its base and quickly took root in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

slam-la-

With the endless energy supply from the Netherworld Blood Sea, the World Tree clone began to grow at an almost insane speed.

100,000 kilometers... 500,000 kilometers... 1 million kilometers...

In a very short time, the World Tree clone's size surpassed that of the Mountain Giant and the River of Souls, and it continued to grow at an astonishing rate.

When the World Tree grew to a height of tens of millions of kilometers, bursts of emerald light naturally emanated from it, forming layers of halos that continuously radiated outwards.

"Such powerful strength, such amazing vitality!"

"Is this the World Tree's talent for controlling space and time?"
