Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 275 The Advance of the Qianwu Kingdom's Ruler! High-Level Betting
"So profound, so beautiful!"

When Qin Ming began studying the sacrificial runes, he quickly became completely immersed in them.

Those incredibly complex patterns were no longer chaotic in his eyes, but rather had a special regularity, and each picture appeared extremely beautiful.

While in Chaos City, Qin Ming learned 3600 different powerful secret techniques, including 10 precious ones such as "Seven Kills of the Illusionary God", "Undying Void", and "Time-Space Tree Realm".

Venturing into the outer battlefields is also for the purpose of creating my own secret techniques!
Only what you create yourself is truly suitable for you.

This is something that almost all realm lords would do during their era, and some would even create their own weapons.

Secret runes are an extremely important part of the cultivation system!
The reason why the Mountain Giant possesses the three great talents of Earth Monarch, Space Vortex, and Absolute Defense is because the Mountain Giant's body has a complex combination of various strange and mysterious patterns.

These include heaven-defying secret techniques such as the Soul Control of the River of Souls and the Control of Space and Time by the World Tree, which are also combinations of secret runes!
Qin Ming knew very well that the primordial universe had a cultivation system called the Secret Pattern School.

Within the strongest entity in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance universe, the Old Beast God's microcosm, also known as the Beast God Realm, there are 64 Beast God statues. These 64 Beast God statues are the perfect embodiment of the eight naturally born Beast Gods.

The Eight Beast Gods are the embodiment of the Eight Great Fusion Laws.

The rules governing the universe can be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, wind, lightning, time, space, and so on. They can also be divided into eight major laws of integration.

In the universe, the most advanced secret techniques can all be broken down into 64 secret rune diagrams.

Theoretically speaking.

If one can master the 64 secret rune diagrams and use them as individual elements to create secret techniques, one can create any kind of technique!
Whether it's controlling space and time, or having the ability to create clones, it's all possible.

Furthermore, by combining the cultivation of the Secret Pattern School with normal law cultivation, progress will be even faster.

It also allows us to see through the fundamental mysteries of the universe.

The Mountain Hermit allowed Luo Feng to enter so that Luo Feng could create his own ultimate secret technique.

The sacrificial rune system that Qin Ming obtained on the Yanji Continent was naturally far less powerful than the 64 rune diagrams in the Beast God Realm.

But for Qin Ming now, it might be more suitable.

Even if Luo Feng in the original timeline had his gene multiplication factor increased by 10081 times, and had been granted the strongest talent secret technique 'Miniature Universe' by the original universe, his strength had reached that of a top-tier universe overlord.

It took millions of years to barely get started.

It took 180 million years to truly master this path.

Moreover, this is guided by the most powerful secret technique, the miniature universe.

The secret rune diagram is profound and unfathomable. Even if Qin Ming were to have all 64 Beast God statues placed in front of him, he would still be unable to comprehend it.

Because it's too complicated.

The sacrificial patterns are different.

After careful study, Qin Ming discovered that the sacrificial runes could actually be divided into 10081 different ways of outlining the runes.

Through different combinations, one can ultimately achieve the mysteries of spatial and temporal laws, such as spatial sealing and time freezing.

That's right.

The upper limit of sacrificial runes is not high; the three great mysteries of time and space are already its limit.

For a cosmic sovereign, rune weapons are not very useful.

But for Qin Ming right now, it's just right.

He has already mastered the two great mysteries of spatial strangulation and spatial sealing, and is already studying the other mysteries. If he compares them with the outlines in these sacrificial runes, it will naturally be of great help in mastering the other mysteries.

Moreover, this secret-rune weapon has its own unique features.

That is, it can be done by using an external 'energy source', without needing one's own divine power.

"The youth version of the rune diagram? If I master this sacrificial rune system, I might even be able to develop my skills in weapon crafting?"

After thoroughly studying the inherited sacrificial runes, Qin Ming was quite delighted.

To some extent, the Secret Pattern School is a school of thought that deeply analyzes the rules governing the universe, although it is extremely difficult to master.

But once you learn it, it's also a way to cultivate an understanding of the essence.

As for weapon crafting...

Qin Ming himself didn't have many ideas, but he could consider developing it if it was suitable.

In the primordial universe, the strongest weapon-refining master besides the Mountain-Sitting Guest was the Lord of the Craftsman God Star.

Coincidentally, this master craftsman is also a special life form—a mountain giant.

It's just different from Qin Ming's six-armed black crystal and the mountain giant clone.

The Lord of Craftsmen is a mountain range tens of millions of kilometers high, with hundreds of enormous glass arms extending from it, and a giant eye on the rock face belonging to a special life form.

Moreover, this master craftsman takes great care of weak and special lives.

If his own Mountain Giant clone went to Craftsman God Star, he might even receive special treatment.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Ming's hands did not stop moving, and he began to sketch out one secret pattern after another.

The River of Souls also split into individual soul entities, which began to comprehend together.

Analyzing the rules from a different perspective led him to gain entirely different insights.

This achievement completely captivated Qin Ming.

……

The Secret Realm of Qianwu. In the vast and endless starry sky, there is a colossal phantom of a giant, dressed in blood-red armor and wielding an incomparably sharp spear.

Centered on him, an area spanning billions of kilometers transformed into an endless sea of ​​icy water, each drop of which was incredibly thick, making it difficult for even ordinary Venerables to fly within it.

"I never expected that after Qin Ming spoke with the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City, I would unexpectedly obtain this set of high-grade treasures!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom murmured softly.

After Qin Ming communicated with the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Chaos City, and others, the Lord of Chaos City took the initiative to find him and 'lent' him a set of high-level treasures!
This includes the high-level offensive treasure 'Jun Tian Spear', the high-level realm treasure 'Mysterious Ice Sea', and even a high-level palace treasure 'Floating Cloud Boat'!
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had checked the prices of these three treasures in the human treasure trove.

The cheapest item, the Heavenly Spear, requires 12 Treasure Points.

The advanced-level treasure 'Mystic Ice Sea' is worth 280 points, while the Floating Cloud Boat, a flying palace-level treasure, is worth 700 treasure points, comparable to the Heavenly Wolf Palace of the Heavenly Wolf Lord.

The three high-grade treasures together have nearly 1000 treasure points!
In the past, this was a treasure he would never have dared to dream of.

But the Lord of Chaos City sent it over by himself.

They really went all out.

Its purpose is self-evident.

That means he must succeed in this hunt for the alien venerable one!

The Spear of Heaven possesses extraordinary offensive capabilities, while the high-level treasure 'Mystic Ice Sea' has extremely strong binding power, making it impossible for opponents to escape.

The Floating Cloud Boat, a treasure of the high-level palace, can also ensure his safe return after the hunt.

The higher-ups clearly attached great importance to this hunt.

Moreover, from the words of the Chaos City Lord, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord also understood the meaning behind them: if he could successfully break through to the Universe Lord.

These three superior treasures were the rewards the clan gave him as a reward.

The race bestows treasures upon every cosmic lord who breaks through, and this is essentially giving them to him ahead of time.

Of course, if he fails to break through.

Then you have to return it.

"Originally, I only planned to hunt down a mid-level Venerable, but with such a treasure, I'll at least hunt down a high-level Venerable!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom gently stroked the cold blood groove on the Juntian Spear, his gaze turning utterly indifferent.

After receiving 5 Arcana Points from the Dark Lord and paying off his debts, he used the remaining 1.2 Arcana Points to buy a basic Arcana armor and an attack-enhancing artifact.

With the enhancement of his soul, his combat power had already reached the level of a cosmic overlord.

But at this moment?

With three supreme treasures on his person, he could face even a top-tier cosmic overlord head-on and leave unscathed!

This is the power of a supreme treasure!

After obtaining the three high-grade treasures, he did not rush to leave, but instead spent a hundred years to completely master them.

Furthermore, with the Heavenly Spear as its core, it created three deadly moves!
"My recent opportunities are all thanks to this little guy Qin Ming. This hunt will require killing at least two Venerables. The souls of Universe Venerables will undoubtedly be of great help to him as well."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had a profound gaze.

He was waiting, waiting for the right opportunity!

hum!
Suddenly, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom revealed a sinister smile as his consciousness rapidly read an email sent by his friend, Venerable Beiming, in the virtual universe.

"The Golden Serpent Venerable and the Radiant Glow Venerable from the demon race have entered the Bone-Corroding Secret Realm together. Should we make a move?"

"Do it!"

The Bone-Eroding Mystery is 1816.52 billion light-years away from human territory, with a maximum diameter of 23 light-years.

It is one of the higher-level secret realms, and some of its dangerous areas pose a great threat to even high-level Venerables, but they also contain tremendous opportunities.

Those who dare to venture into it are at least cosmic masters.

The Golden Serpent Venerable was one of the mortal enemies of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler. He fell for the first time on the Primordial Star because he encountered this Golden Serpent Venerable!
As both are high-level Venerables, if it were a one-on-one fight, Venerable Qianwu would be even stronger.

But in that battle, he was held back by the Golden Serpent Venerable until a top-tier overlord of the demon race arrived, where he was killed on the spot, not even having time to escape.

Over countless years, he tried countless times to kill his opponent.

However, after three consecutive deaths, he lost all his treasures and his strength was greatly reduced. He could not even contend with the Golden Serpent Venerable, let alone kill him.

Now, here's your chance!
With three supreme treasures in his possession, his strength increased a hundredfold, making him one of the top rulers in the universe.

It will only cost us a little, but killing him will be a piece of cake!

As for Venerable Xia Guang, even if he was unlucky, he was a Venerable from a vassal clan of the demon race, and his strength was only at the middle level of Venerable. He could be killed easily.

It's likely that the soul of a mid-level Venerable would be of considerable help to Qin Ming.

"Qin Ming! I'm about to make my move. After I kill the enemy, quickly collect their soul fragments. Our targets this time are two Venerables..."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom transmitted his voice to one of Qin Ming's souls, a river spirit, within the secret realm.

"Are they finally going to make their move?"

"Teacher, please wait a moment! I will bring you a treasure, which will make collecting soul fragments more efficient."

Qin Ming's eyes snapped open; he had waited a hundred years for this battle!
