Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 278 The Enraged Demon Clan Universe Lord
The Bone-Corroding Secret Realm.

The Lord of Annihilation charged in recklessly, and following the coordinates sent by the Golden Serpent Venerable before his fall, he quickly found the battlefield.

wow——

Time travel!

The scenes unfolding on the battlefield were like a movie playing out before him, and he clearly saw the fall of Venerable Golden Serpent and Venerable Radiant Light.

"No problem, he died from self-destruction."

Most of the kings and cosmic lords, when faced with a life-or-death crisis, would rather self-destruct than be captured or enslaved by their souls.

Self-destruction can lead to resurrection, but being enslaved by a soul means you're truly dead.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a dangerous glint appeared in the triangular pupils of the Lord of Annihilation.

In the illusion of time and space, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who had hidden in the floating cloud boat, suddenly flew out, holding a black bone banner. The banner moved without wind and quickly circled around the core area of ​​the battlefield.

"It's a soul! The remaining fragments of the Golden Serpent Venerable's soul after his self-destruction were actually collected by this black bone banner?"

While filled with surprise and doubt, the Lord of Annihilation also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just taken away by a special treasure, it's not a big deal.

How vast was the primordial universe?
It's not unusual for a special soul-type treasure to appear, and such treasures are bound to be extremely rare, perhaps even one of a kind!
For the demon race, it is not a significant threat.

The demon race must bear the loss of two Venerable Ones.

"He's a menace after all! Find an opportunity to get rid of this Qianwu Kingdom ruler and seize this black bone banner."

He actually has three high-level treasures. Could it be that he was lucky enough to encounter some treasures or inheritance from before a great cataclysm?
Or is it a scheme orchestrated by humanity's higher powers?

The Lord of Annihilation pondered in his heart, and also had many doubts.

It often ventures into the cosmic sea and naturally knows that the primordial universe also goes through cycles of reincarnation. Some of those with extraordinary luck may obtain treasures from previous reincarnation eras.

"Issue the order! Immediately search for all information about the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, and have the top cosmic overlords among the clans find an opportunity to hunt him down. If necessary, we can directly dispatch cosmic masters!"

……

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom naturally didn't care about the hunting down of powerful demons.

Kill him?
After giving Qin Ming most of his treasures, such as the endless collections of the Golden Serpent Venerable and the Radiant Glow Venerable, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord went into seclusion.

The Floating Cloud Boat has replaced the former Starry Sky Temple and floats in the center of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

How can one kill a cosmic overlord whose true form resides in a supreme treasure within a high-level palace, deep within the human realm?

Even if the Lord of Annihilation personally intervened, he couldn't do it!
Do you really think the Lord of Chaos City is a dead man?
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom does not intend to emerge from seclusion until he breaks through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

When he began to absorb the soul essence of the Golden Serpent Venerable, the feeling of his soul growing stronger and countless inspirations surging forth was even more intoxicating.

Unprecedented!

The soul is the origin, and a strong soul will naturally greatly enhance potential, comprehension, and the speed of thought.

Some subtle errors and omissions in the laws of time that had gone unnoticed or undiscovered in the past were now clearly revealed before him, and the unprecedented advancements that had not been seen in countless epochs were finally beginning to change.

His aura grew stronger and stronger!

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented confidence, rediscovering the invincible self he once was, instead of the so-called ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom!

He will become the Lord of the Dry Witches!
……

"It's time to go!"

Qin Ming, the human form of the Yanji Continent, stood up and looked up at the infinite starry sky.

After bidding farewell to his teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, and receiving a batch of precious minerals, such as the Heavenly Star Stone, the Qianwu teacher began his seclusion.

There was no point in him staying on the Yanji Continent any longer.

Although he himself did not make a move during these hundred years, the numerous forces of the Soul Palace had spread out and spread throughout the entire Seventh Battlefield.

Several powerful peak-level Kings have already gone to explore the area, including the Star Tower region.

The number of alien kings hunted has long exceeded 72. In addition to the 72 generals, there are 12 ordinary kings among the 3000 Soul Clan soldiers.

Qin Ming isn't stupid.

How could so many powerful members of the Soul Clan be left in one place on the Yanji Continent? The vast majority of them chose to join large-scale battlefields and harvest souls.

In the outer battlefields, besides areas like the Yanji Continent where powerful individuals fight one-on-one, there are also areas where large-scale military operations exist.

There are human powerhouses commanding super-large war fortresses, mechanical races building star fortresses, or massive swarms of insectoid soldiers fighting against powerful demon race warriors.

Otherwise, how did those mountains of corpses, measured in light-years, come about in the garbage star field?

In such a battlefield, the Soul Clan warriors, who possessed authority over the Netherworld and carried the branches of the Myriad Soul Banner, naturally collected an astonishing amount of souls and flesh essence.

Of course, while such battlefields collect a large quantity of souls and flesh, their quality is generally poor.

Unless it's a massive inter-clan war that occurs once every 1000 epochs, it's rare for a king-level expert to perish on the main battlefield.

Even those who were granted titles and honors but later fell from grace were few and far between.

After glancing at the Yanji Continent behind him, Qin Ming turned and entered the black triangular spaceship. After traveling for two days in the dark universe, he arrived at the shuttle point closest to the Star Tower.

Ripples spread through the void, and a black triangular spaceship appeared. Qin Ming stood alone in the control room, gazing into the distance.

Most of the strong members of the Soul Clan went out hunting, and the few who stayed by his side were all busy with their own affairs.

For example, Irina is in seclusion, striving to break through to immortality.

Over the years, through virtual universe intelligence and the efforts of the Soul Clan's powerful members, they have specifically hunted down a group of alien powerhouses who are skilled in weapon crafting, potion making, and other related fields.

For example, one of the Zerg factions is named Thunderforge King.

King Lei Zhu is a member of the Lei Quan clan, a sacred place called 'Lei Quan'. Every newborn baby of the Lei Quan clan is placed in Lei Quan.

The gestation period ends when these babies are able to climb to the top of the vines above the Thunder Spring using their own abilities and escape.

Therefore, every member of the Thunder Spring Clan... is born a favorite of the laws of lightning, naturally able to control lightning, and extremely skilled in comprehending the laws of lightning, and their power is immense when unleashed.

Lei Zhuwang is one of the best among them.

Although he was only a high-ranking king, he had achieved great success in the art of weapon crafting. He used his talent to control the power of thunder to refine weapon materials and even crafted a pseudo-heavy treasure!

Therefore, Qin Ming directly established a branch force called 'Heavenly Crafting Hall' for them in the Netherworld, and all the Soul Clan members who were skilled in weapon crafting subsequently came under his command.

They are not included in the 3000 Soul Clan soldiers.

Qin Ming also passed on the sacrificial rune system and other techniques.

From then on, the 'Heavenly Crafts Hall' was dedicated to crafting weapons, armor, and other equipment for the Soul Clan warriors. After all, purchasing all the equipment for so many Soul Clan warriors would be a huge expense.

Within the pharmacist system, a department called "Hall of All Things" was also established, which specializes in researching all things and refining various potions.

However, they weren't so lucky in this regard, as there wasn't anyone who could take the lead.

The strongest among them was only at the Marquis level.

To be fair, in terms of status and achievements, alchemists are far inferior to weapon refiners in the original universe. After all, the strongest potion that an alchemist can make is only at the level of 'Firm Venom'.

There are almost no potions that can harm a Cosmic Venerable.

However, there are plenty of weapon refiners who can forge powerful treasures, and some of the most powerful ones can even forge supreme treasures!

Even the powerful God-King, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, was a master of weapon crafting.

Furthermore, the concept of divine power doesn't exist in the current primordial universe, so few people study this aspect.

Standing in the spaceship's control room, Qin Ming looked at the void in front of him. Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked when he actually saw the Star Tower.

Star Tower, nine light-years high!

Just standing there, it seems to cover half of the universe.

Centered on the Star Tower, a dazzling nebula vortex frantically devours endless energy. This 'Nine-Spinning Nebula' may appear beautiful and radiant, but it is in reality a nightmare for the powerful. Even cosmic venerables who venture into it are torn apart and annihilated.

"I wonder if my Myriad Soul Banner could grow to this level?"

While Qin Ming was shocked, a thought also popped into his head.

The Star Tower is a God-King level "palace treasure" that the God-King "Mountain-Sitting Guest" spent a huge amount of money to refine, and a "golden light" flew in during the refining process.

This will cause the essence of this Star Tower to undergo another transformation.

In essence, it should be said to be a terrifying treasure of the Hunyuan level and the Lord level!
With the help of this Star Tower, once you successfully recognize a master, you can hide inside and no matter how strong your opponent is, they will not be able to harm you in the slightest. It is practically invincible!
Of course, in the primordial universe and the cosmic sea, there are not so many different terms; they can all be referred to as the supreme treasure.

Without sufficient strength, the Star Tower cannot unleash its true power.

Although Qin Ming was envious, he had no desire to covet it, as his foundation lay in the Myriad Soul Banner.

The current Myriad Soul Banner is naturally inferior to the Star Tower, but it is a treasure that grows stronger with each upgrade.

As things stand, the Myriad Souls Banner is far more helpful to him than a palace treasure with invincible defense!

……

The Star Tower is surrounded by a dazzling vortex of nebulae.

However, there is no nebula vortex surrounding the bottom of the tower. The tower is divided into nine levels, with nine entrances on the bottom level. Kings who come here to try their luck just randomly enter through one of the entrances.

"arrive."

A streak of silver light stopped, and with the flapping of Liu Yun's wings, Qin Ming stopped in front of the entrance.

They did not attempt to recognize a Lord like others.

Qin Ming knew very well that unless one obtained the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," one was not qualified to recognize a master. No matter how strong you were, you would be helpless in the face of the rules set by a God-King.

After a short wait, a figure flew in from the entrance of the Star Tower. The figure was small and thin, with hands that resembled the claws of a wild beast.

King Jiujian!
He was one of the vanguards Qin Ming had sent ahead of time to explore the Star Tower's intelligence and the distribution of its powerful members.

"Owner!"

King Jiujian respectfully transmitted his voice.

"Yes, send me the latest information about the Star Tower. After a hundred years of silence, it's time to try out the secret techniques created during this period."

After that, we still need to find some time to discuss the Spirit-Nourishing Potion with Teacher Darkness.
