Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 282 Spirit-Nourishing Potion! The Giant Axe Returns
"teacher!"

Qin Ming bowed deeply before the imposing figure of the throne in the temple.

During his hundred years of cultivation on the Yanji Continent, Qin Ming would occasionally consult the Lord of Darkness while researching sacrificial runes, seeking guidance on soul attacks, movement techniques, halberd techniques, and so on.

This allowed him to progress extremely quickly, and after entering the Star Tower, he became invincible and unmatched.

"What's the matter?"

The Lord of Darkness spoke calmly.

"Teacher, I have found that there are too few suitable opponents in the Star Tower. I can't find any opponents even before I can use my full strength."

"During these hundred years, I have also created a few secret techniques. Please give me your comments, Master."

Qin Ming spoke respectfully, but did not directly mention the Spirit Nourishing Potion. He knew very well what his teacher wanted to see.

"No opponents?"

A look of surprise and wonder appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Darkness.

During his time as a Realm Lord, he ventured into the outer battlefields and fought against a group of powerful Kings, yet he found no suitable opponents—a situation unprecedented in his lifetime.

Anyone else saying this would seem ridiculous.

But it was perfectly natural for Qin Ming to say it.

The battle record in the Star Tower speaks for itself.

Even the strongest warriors at the pinnacle of the King-level realm couldn't withstand his soul attacks and would be instantly killed. Even the Zerg Queen 'Nan Cheng,' who was close to being invincible at the King-level realm, was killed.

He truly had no suitable opponents on the battlefield outside his territory.

Must we force Qin Ming to tie his own hands, forbid him from using his soul treasure, or send him to mechanical races or rock-type life forms to train his psychic weapons and martial arts skills?
Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Qin Ming became his disciple because he wanted to walk the path of the soul!

"Show me what you've got, use your strongest moves."

As the Lord of Darkness finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly transformed into an endless, vast starry sky.

"is teacher."

Qin Ming said respectfully.

With a thought, a colossal tree appeared behind Qin Ming, its height exceeding 70 million kilometers and its canopy diameter exceeding 100 million kilometers.

The moment the World Tree appeared, it radiated with vibrant life, and the fluctuations that controlled spacetime enveloped an area of ​​one billion kilometers.

Then a blood-red river appeared around the trunk of the World Tree, with a length of 1500 million kilometers and a width of one million kilometers.

The Soul Treasure 'Thousand Illusion Mirage Pearl' also floats in the center of the River of Souls.

This is a 'virtual universe' where everything can be virtual, allowing Qin Ming to imitate any method according to his own will.

"Wow!"

"Mastering time and space—life, death, illusion, and destruction!"

The World Tree swayed slightly, completely taking control of a space-time region. The power of the River of Souls erupted and condensed within the Thousand Illusion Mirage Pearl, and a soul impact that was visible to the naked eye and almost tangible swept across the heavens and earth.

The River of Souls has vanished.

Then the mountain giant appeared, a six-armed crystal giant a million kilometers tall, wielding six blood-red battle axes, and slashed down like a demon god splitting the heavens and earth.

The six axe blades swirled with a dark purple aura, seemingly coalescing into a black hole that distorted the surrounding void, radiating endless devouring power.

The secrets of spatial blockade and spatial strangulation were perfectly integrated, forming an incredibly powerful suppressive and strangling force. Strange patterns even appeared within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers around him, forming a gravitational strangulation field.

Each swing is like a black hole vortex crashing down.

Finally, all six axes were unleashed simultaneously, and the six axe energies converged into a dark golden axe beam. At that moment, the universe was torn apart as if by tofu, and the area within a radius of millions of kilometers completely collapsed.

Finally, there's the halberd technique!

Qin Ming's wings fluttered, traversing the void, and the Heavenly Dragon Star-Breaking Halberd in his hand crashed down like a meteor, unstoppable.

"Please give me some guidance, teacher."

Qin Ming said respectfully.

He was quite confident, having mastered the secret runes of the sacrificial ritual over the past hundred years.

Combining the River of Souls, the Mountain Giant, and the World Tree's innate secret techniques, the resulting killing move's power no longer relies solely on overwhelming numerical values.

The giant's slash was actually a fusion of the "Black Hole Evolution" and the "Void Rune" from the sacrificial runes, radiating its power over a radius of tens of millions of kilometers.

Mountain giants are rock creatures whose advantages are immense strength and incredible defense.

Speed, however, is a weakness.

However, within this gravitational strangulation field, the enemy's speed will be reduced to the extreme under the constraints of black holes and secret rune fields, leaving them with no choice but to fight tooth and nail!
Furthermore, this power can perfectly align with the World Tree's control over space and time, causing its power to surge.

"Hmm." The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly.

"Your soul attack technique has reached the basics, but it is not yet perfect. If it were perfected, it would be even stronger. The power of the secret technique alone has indeed reached the level of being invincible at the King level."

While his axe and halberd techniques were slightly inferior, they still barely reached the level of being invincible at the King level.

In the battlefields beyond your domain, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable opponents to hone your skills.

How about this.

Starting today, I will set up different opponents to target your various weaknesses, and make you fight against them in order to hone your various secret techniques.

It is estimated that it will take one or two thousand years for your self-created unique skill to reach perfection.

"is teacher."

Qin Ming was extremely respectful.

"Go."

The Path of the Lord of Darkness.

Qin Ming did not move, but remained bowed, a row of potions appearing in his hand. "Teacher, I have made some progress in potion making, please give me your guidance."

"A spirit-nourishing potion?"

The Lord of Darkness raised an eyebrow. Qin Ming, under the identity of 'Bian Que', caused a great uproar on the battlefield outside the domain, and even used this to get the Lord of Chaos City to invest a huge amount of resources.

"Yes."

Qin Ming took out one of the World Lord-level Spirit Nourishing Potions and spoke.

"This is the Spirit Nourishing Potion I took out on the battlefield outside the domain. After improvement, it is more effective and easier to absorb, and it is of great benefit to the soul."

"If the Lord of the Divine Kingdom absorbs three branches, his soul strength and foundation can reach the level of the Lord of the Human Realm of the Universe Kingdom, and he can normally break through to immortality."

"And it can be used again to continuously enhance the soul. Theoretically, it can reach a maximum of about 10 times the genetic soul life, but of course, this would consume a lot of potions."

As he spoke, Qin Ming looked at another immortal-level soul potion.

"This is a more potent soul potion prepared for immortal powerhouses. Taking one dose can strengthen an immortal military lord by about one-third."

It's less effective for granting a title, but it can still slightly improve potential and comprehension.

"To ensure the effectiveness of the experiment, I prepared 1000 million World Lord-level weapons and 1 Immortal-level weapons for the first batch, intending to deploy them to the battlefield outside the domain for testing."

The Lord of Darkness was taken aback.

Can the Lord of the Divine Kingdom reach the level of a normal human soul by taking three doses of the Divine Essence Elixir?

Doesn't this mean that all the geniuses among the humans in the divine kingdom can break through normally?

For the human leadership, this is absolutely fantastic news, meaning that the number of immortals in the human race will increase by at least 10 times!
10 times!

What an outrageous number this is!
Only with sufficient reserves at the grassroots level can more cosmic venerables and more cosmic masters be born!

And there's also that immortal-level spirit-nourishing potion!

One dose of this potion can enhance the soul of an Immortal Army Lord by one-third!

What's most terrifying is that this thing can be used in combination to continuously strengthen the soul. Even for a King-level expert, the effect is still very useful!

"How much do these medicines cost?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Lord of Darkness spoke.

"The main raw material for the Spirit Nourishing Elixir is the soul fragments of powerful warriors who have fallen on the battlefield, which I and the Soul Palace envoys collected from various battlefields."

The cost of a Spirit Nourishing Potion at the World Lord level is around 1 Mixed Yuan.

The Immortal Spirit-Nourishing Elixir costs 1000 Chaos Yuan.

Qin Ming was clearly prepared, and blurted it out.

"1 Hunyuan, 1000 Hunyuan?"

The Lord of Darkness was startled; this price was definitely very low.

Generally speaking, an ordinary realm lord's assets can exceed 10 Hunyuan, while the poorest immortal's assets are around 1000 Hunyuan, and an immortal military lord's assets already exceed 1 Hunyuan.

To be granted a title of nobility requires a starting amount of tens of millions of Hunyuan.

The price of a mere 1000 Hunyuan is nothing at all.

Of course, the cost price is the cost price, and the selling price will definitely be another price.

For example, the Spirit Nourishing Potion that Qin Ming sold under the guise of 'Bian Que' eventually fetched 10,000 Hunyuan, yet it was still priceless and unavailable.

A mere 1000 million doses of Lord-level potion won't cause any trouble; they'll be snapped up instantly.

Even if there are no restrictions.

These medicines would never even reach the battlefields outside the region before being completely plundered by those within.

Even if it costs 10,000 Hunyuan per stick, so what?

However, it's just a mere hundred billion Hunyuan; any invincible king could easily buy it all, not to mention some powerful families.

"Senior brother, you heard that too, right? How do you plan to handle this?"

The Lord of Darkness looked at the Lord of Chaos City, who had appeared to the side at some unknown time. The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qin Ming with a solemn expression.

He also paid close attention to Qin Ming's intelligence.

While Qin Ming was wreaking havoc in the Star Tower, he had already received intelligence and even watched the battlefield footage directly, gaining a clear understanding of Qin Ming's strength.

I thought that Qin Ming had been focused on cultivation all these years, but who knew that he had also developed this Spirit Nourishing Potion and even mass-produced it?

What incredible talent!

"Spirit-Nourishing Potion, Soul Fragments. According to what you said before, having one's soul fragment taken away is equivalent to soul enslavement, making resurrection impossible, right?"

The Lord of Chaos City, however, thought of another problem.

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

Qin Ming said respectfully, "That's the problem."

The number of alien races he and the more than 3,000 Soul Clan soldiers of the Soul Palace had actually killed was already quite large, in addition to the fact that he and Teacher Qianwu had hunted down the 'Golden Serpent Venerable' and the 'Radiant Glow Venerable' before.

Before long, the Soul Palace will inevitably be exposed to the outside world.

Unless he stops hunting and harvesting souls.

But this is impossible!
He alone certainly couldn't withstand this kind of pressure.

He needs the human race to step up!

"Do as you wish, and see how much trouble these soul potions can cause. You must have a follow-up plan, right?"

The Lord of Chaos City remained calm.

Because humanity's anchor, the giant axe, has returned!
"Of course there are, these are just the first versions. Deploying them to the battlefield outside the region is also to test the drug and prepare for subsequent development and increased production."
