Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 264 The Birth of the Soul Clan and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
"Hahaha! Cool!"

Inside the Netherworld, Qin Ming looked at the 19 King-level experts who had been refined and the massive divine kingdoms that were being drawn from the void, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Get rich overnight!
Nineteen powerful figures who have been granted the title of King.

In this way, he will not lack high-end combat power in the Netherworld. He can even try to use the souls of King-level experts to refine his origin and strengthen himself!
The more powerful the soul, the better its original effects.

For a long time, he cultivated using the soul essence of a World Lord, and only occasionally used the soul essence of an Immortal.

After all, resources are limited, and where in the human world are there so many immortals for him to kill?

The battlefield outside the region is different; there are enemies everywhere!
As long as you have enough strength, everything is a resource.

Bang!
With a casual flick of his wrist, Qin Ming tore apart the soul of a high-ranking king covered in scales in the void, transforming it into the purest essence of the soul.

call--

The purest essence of the soul, like swallows returning to their nests, surged towards Qin Ming. When that essence of the soul touched Qin Ming's body, he felt an extremely cool and comfortable sensation.

The fatigue from the battle vanished instantly, and I felt refreshed, as if I had taken a super tonic.

"This feeling is so comfortable."

Qin Ming felt the changes within his body. He could see that as he consumed the food, his soul and even his body were undergoing subtle evolution.

The genetic makeup of the human beings, which had not increased for a long time, began to slowly increase.

"The gene multiplier has reached 21 times! As expected, we still need to kill the strong."

Qin Ming's human genetic makeup wasn't actually that strong; it mainly relied on the hundredfold amplification of the Blood Luo power.

The enhancement of Bloodlust Power differs from the gene multiplication of clones such as Mountain Giant and River of Souls; it requires activation before it can be enhanced.

When it's not activated, the gene multiplier is actually only 20 times!
This is more like an amplitude than a direct increase.

Judging from Luo Feng's situation in the original timeline, this amplitude would also slowly decrease as his gene multiplication rate increases.

At that time, Luo Feng's own gene multiplier was increased to 48 times through the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, and he also fused with the blood of the Beast God to bring his human body to the level of 100.

Logically, the gene multiplication rate should be 4800 times.

In reality, it can only reach about 3000 times, with an amplitude of only about 60 points.

"Putting all that aside for now, although the Blood Luo Power becomes less effective as time goes on, it still provides a significant boost until my human body's genetic multiplier reaches hundreds or thousands of times."

As he continued to absorb the essence of the soul, Qin Ming also reflected on his own problems in this battle.

"My movement skills are still lacking; otherwise, I would have had a chance to kill those high-level or even peak-level Kings."

In this battle, he crushed his opponent in the most brutal and violent way.

It cannot be said that it is wrong.

His style has always been like this.

However, this fighting style is actually more suitable for the Mountain Giant, whose human form should take a more agile approach.

Because the human body is too small.

Fighting head-on with demons, mechanical races, etc., would be a disadvantage.

The secret technique "The Undying Void" prepared for him by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is biased towards this aspect. The secret technique has seven chapters and contains four sets of secret techniques.

The second chapter, "Void Blade," corresponds to spatial strangulation!

In other words, the method he is currently using to fight his enemies, condensing a spatial blade on the Heavenly Dragon Star-Breaking Halberd, is actually an application of the Void Blade chapter.

They are only one step away from completely mastering spatial strangulation.

The third chapter, "Spatial Folding," corresponds to teleportation!

If you master it completely, you can achieve teleportation.

Qin Ming has not yet mastered teleportation; he can only barely achieve 'inanimate object teleportation' and 'weapon teleportation,' and he still has a long way to go before he can teleport himself.

After all, from the very beginning, his approach of spatial containment was naturally less effective.

As for the four secret techniques, they are "Void Shaking Body", "Void Boundary Breaking Halberd Technique", "Void Barrier", and "Void Soaring Dragon Step".

These belong to the secret techniques of body amplitude, combat, defense, and movement.

"My mastery of the Void Dragon Step is still lacking."

Qin Ming shook his head slightly.

"Void Dragon Steps" is agile and graceful, utilizing the power of space to achieve flexible and varied movement.

When one reaches mastery, it is as if a dragon is soaring through the void, walking in the void with a unique gait, as if one is one with the space, moving freely.

Combined with flowing cloud wings, it becomes even more unpredictable and mysterious.

I haven't mastered the skills, so I can only forcefully defeat my opponent. Otherwise, I could have easily manipulated him and killed him at will.

During his 400 years in Chaos City, he primarily focused on comprehending the laws of nature.

While combat could be simulated through a virtual universe, it was ultimately not reality. However, Qin Ming wasn't too discouraged, as he had come to the extraterrestrial battlefield to hone his skills and create his own ultimate technique.

If his combat experience and agility were perfect, there would be no need for him to come.

After carefully reviewing the problems that arose during the battle, Qin Ming turned his gaze to the air.

The 18 immortal kings have all been refined, but the vast divine kingdoms are still being devoured by the Netherworld, emitting thunderous roars.

"There are more and more souls in the underworld. It's time to set some rules, and these souls should also be given names."

In fact, a long time ago, Qin Ming had entrusted the Zerg Queen Irina with the responsibility of governing the Myriad Soul Banner space and establishing a series of massive cities.

However, it was ultimately a rather crude management system and lacked a coherent structure.

With each killing, the number of souls in the Netherworld increased, with nearly a thousand Marquis-level beings and nearly ten thousand ordinary Immortals.

Beyond immortality, there are even more.

Most of these immortal beings were human warriors who died in battles outside the realm, and when they were encountered, the Netherworld also swallowed them up.

It was because of them that Qin Ming discovered he could resurrect them by giving them bodies and breaking the control.

As for non-human races, including the billions of souls in those immortal divine kingdoms, they were instantly refined into the purest soul essence when they were devoured.

It may be stored in the full moon of the soul, or it may be swallowed by the river of souls.

"From now on, I will call you the Soul Clan! After you die, you will enter the Netherworld and become the Soul Clan!"

Qin Ming sighed.

"I don't yet have the ability to send you to reincarnation. If we were to revive you all, it would probably cause a major earthquake in the human race, which is also unrealistic."

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural cycle.

Even the resurrection of the Lord of the Universe has its limitations!
He currently lacks the method to send them into reincarnation, and crushing their souls into their original essence does not align with his own desires.

So we'll just let them live in the underworld and figure out what to do with them later.

"Irina."

Qin Ming called out.

"Owner."

Irina flapped her wings and followed behind Qin Ming.

"First, select talents from the underworld, establish the Underworld Law Bureau, and formulate laws belonging to the underworld."

The Underworld Law Division forms the core, with the Divisions for Punishing Evil, Rewarding Good, and Investigating also established to be responsible for rewarding good and punishing evil, and investigating illegal activities within the Underworld.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Ming spoke again.

"In addition, the military also needs to carry out systematic planning."

"Ten Yin Marshals are selected from the ten main soul positions. Below the ten Yin Marshals are the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, who are commanded by the ten Yin Marshals."

The seventy-two Earthly Fiends possess at least the strength to be enfeoffed as kings.

If there is a shortage of manpower, the positions will remain temporarily vacant, and in the future, the capable will be promoted and the weak will be demoted.

Then there are the Soul Clan soldiers; not too many, three thousand will suffice.

One command after another came from Qin Ming's mouth.

These ideas weren't just something he came up with on a whim; he had planned them for a long time.

He couldn't possibly refine all the souls and make them members of the Netherworld; he would have to select them, otherwise the Netherworld would explode sooner or later.

Establishing a sound management structure is imperative.

Of course, these things can't be rushed; they need to be improved little by little.

The most urgent and important task is to build an army for external combat, namely the Ten Yin Marshals and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Army, along with three thousand Soul Clan soldiers.

This is the number of troops that Qin Ming has temporarily decided upon.

In a world where power resides within itself, quantity has little significance.

Furthermore, if the target is too large, it is easy to be exposed.

As things stand now, three thousand Soul Clan soldiers can all serve as Immortal Army Lords or even Marquises. If they are equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment, this force is by no means weak.

"Hehe, if we become powerful in the future, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends might become like the Ancestral God Sect, all of them top-tier universe overlords, and the Ten Yin Marshals might even become universe masters!"

As he was lost in thought, Qin Ming suddenly smiled.

"Has the Hongmeng finally come looking for us?"
