Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 259 The Powerful Figures of the Fiery Sacrifice Continent, Ten Thousand Souls Emerge
Inside the control room of a large flying saucer.

Marquis Ye Ling and Marquis Qi Yun, both newly ennobled, were hosting a lavish banquet for Qin Ming.

"Senior, if it weren't for your intervention this time, the two of us would probably have had to burn our divine bodies to escape. Even if we survived, we would have been severely injured!"

We will always remember this life-saving kindness.

If you need anything in the future, just ask.

This is the 'Sea Heart Wine' we just redeemed at the barracks base. Although it's not an expensive item, it has quite a unique flavor.

Lord Ye Ling smiled as he held up his wine cup.

Qin Ming also held his wine glass and took a sip. As soon as the wine entered his throat, he felt as if he could hear the sound of ocean waves, which made him feel refreshed.

"Not bad." Qin Ming nodded.

"Yes, if we hadn't met you, senior, we would have been in big trouble." Marquis Qiyun also picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"You two are too kind, we're comrades! I'm not some senior, just call me Marquis Yuanyue," Qin Ming said with a smile.

He was well aware of what these two were thinking; it was human nature to associate with the powerful!
It's unlikely that either of them would perish. Even if a Marquis-level expert couldn't defeat them, they could still burn their divine body to escape. However, if they did that, their legions would inevitably collapse.

The casualties will be extremely high.

"Marquis Yuanyue? That was tens of millions of years ago. You were able to easily kill the Reincarnation Congyan Serpent, so your strength is extremely powerful even among the kings!"

Before long, an envoy from the Hongmeng will invite you to join.

Marquis Ye Ling shook his head. He himself was at the peak of the Marquis level and knew how troublesome the Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Serpent was, but it had no power to resist when it fell into Qin Ming's hands.

He was easily killed.

The immortality of someone at the peak of the Marquisate level is already extremely powerful.

Even a low-level King would find it difficult to kill a peak Marquis, and a high-level King would need to burn divine power to kill one.

But Qin Ming killed him with ease!

"Hongmeng? We'll talk about it later. I came to the extraterritorial battlefield to train myself."

Qin Ming remained noncommittal.

The Hongmeng (鸿盟) is generally only open to those who have formally entered the ranks of Kings, and almost all Kings among the human races have joined it.

Once you demonstrate your abilities, people will naturally come to invite you.

"Gentlemen, I am not familiar with this Yanji Continent. I would like to ask who the powerful figures are here? I would like to make some preparations to gain military merit."

Qin Ming asked.

In the virtual universe, he also found a lot of information about powerful people, but that information was rather vague. How could it compare to the clear information of someone like Ye Linghou, a peak Marquis who had been active on the continent?
He also needs to earn military merits!

Although he was helped by the Lord of Chaos City and entered as a marquis, the military merits he secretly needed were the same as those of a new recruit entering the extraterritorial battlefield for the first time.

For a normal Realm Lord to enter the extraterritorial battlefield, even if they are evaluated as a Realm Lord General, the required military merits are generally between 10 million and 1 billion.

But what about Qin Ming?

1 trillion!
That's right, trillions!

What an outrageous number!
It should be noted that killing an ordinary Realm Lord warrior solo earns 1000 military merits. Killing a Realm Lord general solo only earns 10 million military merits.

Even if we kill all the world lords, we don't know how long it would take to gather them all.

Therefore, the Virtual Universe Company is forcing him to kill the Immortals!

The minimum cost to kill an Immortal is 1 million, and the maximum is 1000 trillion (for killing a peak-level King).

In other words, he needs to kill 10 peak-level kings to complete his military merit mission.

For example, killing a peak-level Marquis-level Reincarnation Congyan Serpent only yielded 1 trillion military merits, while killing a low-level King-level Serpent yielded 10 trillion military merits, and so on up to 100 trillion.

"Strong ones? There are over a thousand kings on the main continent of Yanji Continent. Although my human race only has three, they can bring along vassal races and a large number of alien races that entered the battlefield through the Human Alliance."

In total, there were hundreds of people who were granted the title of king.

The other three top clans are similar.

The entire Yanji Continent, encompassing all four directions, must number over a thousand.

Lord Ye Ling sighed. For someone like Qin Ming, to be considered a strong person, one must at least be a king!

As he spoke, Ye Linghou also took the opportunity to add Qin Ming's virtual communication network (Yuan Yuehou version) and sent over some of the information he had collected about being conferred the title of king.

Qin Ming immediately sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe to check, and at the same time, the peak-level Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Serpent of the Myriad Soul Banner was successfully refined, synchronizing with the information of the demon race.

"Nightfall King: Peak King-level, Winged Human. Wears dark red battle armor, has a pair of wings, and golden eyes..."

"Tiger Thorn King: Peak King level, allied with another race. Specializes in spatial blockade and powerful attacks, exceptionally ferocious..."

"King Chawu: Peak of Kingship..."

Looking at the pictures, videos, and recent activity ranges of various races' experts in the intelligence report, Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly praise the information sent by Ye Linghou, which was indeed much more comprehensive than what he had searched himself.

After all, the Yanji Continent is extremely dangerous, and it would be too perilous to not know any powerful figures.

Besides these human groups, there are also many other races.

Combined with the information obtained from the Samsara Congyan Serpent, the situation becomes even clearer.

The demon race on the Yanji Continent has only two kings, while the demon alliance has a total of 329 kings!
There are quite a few strong individuals among them.

For example, Black Noodle King!
This is also a peak-level King-level existence, in addition to other high-level King-level Purple Sky Kings, etc.

As for the strong members of the Machine Race, there are even those who have reached the limit of the King level!
For example, the Azure Gold King!
Or, for example, the Purple Bell King, whose strength has reached the peak of the King-level realm, but who also possesses a powerful treasure.

"There are still many powerful individuals on the Yanji Continent."

As Qin Ming looked it up, he couldn't help but remark.

Without using powerful treasures, his human form's strength is only comparable to the peak of the King-level realm, and even then, he is a peak King-level realm cultivator who cannot burn divine power.

In a real fight, they would definitely be no match. Of course, if they were equipped with the Flowing Cloud Wings and the Heavenly Dragon Star-Breaking Halberd, that would be a different story.

The Flowing Cloud Wings grant him immense speed, far exceeding that of a peak-level King, and the Heavenly Dragon Star-Breaking Halberd is inlaid with Kaso metal, making it extremely destructive to divine bodies.

Overall, this is indeed a great place for Qin Ming to hone his skills.

Although he has a high genetic diversity and possesses top-tier secret techniques and treasures, his combat experience is far inferior to that of a true peak-level king.

At the peak of his kingship, he had already created his own powerful secret techniques, enabling him to perfectly unleash his strength.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, has only just embarked on this path.

"That's for sure! Yanji Continent is the high-end combat zone of the Seventh Battlefield, and the only one at an even higher level is the Star Tower."

In the Yanji Continent, there are many legends that even peak-level King-level powerhouses are drawn here.

Marquis Qiyun filled Qin Ming's cup with wine and said with a smile.

Qin Ming nodded. There were indeed many legends on the Yanji Continent, the most famous of which was the 'Sacrifice Tower'.

When the Seventh Battlefield was opened, the four top clans swept across many regions, creating the battlefield.

The native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent naturally fled in panic, not daring to resist the four top-tier races.

The so-called sacrificial towers were actually large survival bases. The native inhabitants of the Yanji Continent stored many of their treasures in these sacrificial towers and then quickly escaped with them.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, and the vast majority of ethnic groups were unable to escape!
Some of these sacrificial towers were seized by the powerful figures of the four peak clans, while others were hidden in some area of ​​the Yanji Continent.

The construction of the sacrificial tower is shrouded in mystery.

Because of its unique patterns, even the divine power of the cosmic venerable cannot detect it.

But over the long years, some lucky individuals have inadvertently unearthed sacrificial towers and become rich overnight.

After all, this is the wealth of an entire ethnic group!

Even if they are just a weak race, they still possess a cosmic sovereign, which naturally brings them immense wealth and honor when they are made kings.

Qin Ming had no interest in the treasures of the sacrificial tower.

However, Qin Ming was also curious about the sacrificial runes and other secrets within them. If he could obtain their inheritance, it might improve his strength.

There is a mountain giant with his body fused with the earth.

If you're lucky, you might run into one.

At the dinner table, Qin Ming chatted with Ye Linghou and Qi Yunhou, gradually gaining a deeper understanding of the Yanji Continent and forming ideas in their minds.

three days later.

"Lord Yeling, Lord Qiyun, I think... I should leave," Qin Ming said.

"Leave?" Marquis Yeling and Marquis Qiyun were already prepared. With Qin Ming's strength, it was impossible for him to travel with them; the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

When do you plan to leave, senior?

"Now then," Qin Ming said. "You two are the earliest friends I made on the Yanji Continent. We'll meet again someday if fate allows."

With that, Qin Ming transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

……

Above the vast land, a black triangular ship was flying at near-light speed.

"Master, there is a foreign army 8.6 million kilometers away."

There are four immortal gods and more than 30,000 troops, one of whom is a marquis and the other three are immortal military lords.

Should we kill it?

Inside the spaceship's control room, Irina spoke respectfully.

The spacecraft carries two extremely advanced detection instruments: one with a wide range of up to 10 billion kilometers, and the other with a small range of 100 kilometers.

Large detectors can detect spacecraft and other objects at long distances, making them easier to deploy.

Small detectors are used in certain delicate areas.

These two sets of instruments cost Qin Ming trillions of Hunyuan. They are extremely powerful, able to locate others, but others cannot detect them.

After all, Qin Ming wasn't short of that little bit of money.

Although most of his resources were devoured by the Mountain Giant and several other bottomless pit clones, he still had some valuable treasures.

Moreover, Qin Ming's strongest detection method is not actually the so-called detector, but the World Tree's talent of controlling space and time!

Once the talent for controlling space and time is activated, all fluctuations within a radius of billions of kilometers can be easily controlled and clearly reflected, and any danger can be clearly seen.

If they can even control time and space, what else can't they see?
"A title of nobility? Blood Wolf King, lead your troops out and wipe them out!"

Qin Ming looked at the Blood Wolf King.

For him, those who were granted the title of Marquis and were immortal were easily slaughtered; they didn't even qualify as practice targets.

However, the growth of the Netherworld requires the devouring of a large number of divine kingdoms, the River of Souls requires countless souls, and the growth of the World Tree also requires a massive amount of flesh and blood essence.

He has no intention of letting any of these alien races go!
Slay everything you encounter!

Therefore, it would be most appropriate for the Blood Wolf King and other main souls to take action.

Among the many main souls in the Netherworld, besides the Blood Wolf King, who was a high-ranking king, there were also nine marquises he judged in the Eighteen Star Prisons, and the newly acquired Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Serpent.

This is also a considerable force.

Except for the Reincarnation Congyan Serpent, which has just been refined and whose soul is still in a weak state and needs to devour the soul's origin and the essence of flesh and blood to replenish its divine body, the rest can fight.

"Yes! Master!"
