Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 284 The Importance of the Giant Axe and the Corpse of a Top-Tier Cosmic Overlord 8700 Times Stronger
It was inevitable that the Soul Hall would become the target of everyone's criticism.

This was established by Qin Ming to shield himself from criticism and draw enemy fire.

On the battlefields beyond the borders, their role is to hunt down powerful alien races and collect their souls.

While Qin Ming was talking with the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City, the 72 generals and 3000 soldiers of the Soul Palace were hunting in the Star Tower and even the entire outer battlefield.

And with each hunt, their strength will snowball and grow stronger!
Irina, the two Zerg queens of the Southern Punishment Clan, possess invincible strength and are capable of killing with ridiculously high efficiency even without Qin Ming's intervention.

With the impact of the Spirit Nourishing Elixir, it probably won't be long before all the alien races frantically besiege and kill the Soul Palace soldiers.

“I understand. I will hunt for a while longer before I am exposed, and then retreat behind the scenes, or change my identity.”

Qin Ming smiled. The treasure 'Thousand Faces' bestowed upon him by the Lord of Darkness allowed him to disguise his identity at will. The identity of King Yuanyue was just a disguise.

As for the Soul Palace, will it be destroyed in the calamity or rise up in the face of adversity?

No one can be sure.

……

When Qin Ming disappeared from the Dark Temple, a giant man with a finger-thick body, disheveled long hair, and resembling a savage appeared inside the Dark Temple.

"Big axe!"

"The Founder of the Great Axe!"

The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City both bowed slightly, their expressions showing great respect.

"Yes, is that why you let me come back?"
It possesses three top-tier special life forms: the Mountain Giant, the River of Souls, and the World Tree.

He has comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws, grasped two of the Three Profound Mysteries of the Space Law, is extremely skilled in the path of the soul, and is also a top-notch alchemy master.

With the talent to condense shattered souls, in just a few hundred years, they researched the Spirit Nourishing Elixir, a potion powerful enough to change the fate of their race.

Even a cosmic venerable like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom might break through.

They are the seeds of the master of the universe, or even the strongest beings, and play an extremely important role for their race.

Such a genius makes my early return from the Cosmic Sea all worthwhile.

Watching Qin Ming's disappearing figure, Giant Axe looked quite pleased.

He was under too much pressure!
After the original ancestor was suppressed, the fate of humanity fell on his shoulders, forcing him to carefully maintain the human race and get through that most difficult period.

What would happen if a race that once dominated the entire primordial universe and even the cosmic ocean suddenly fell into decline?
All the surrounding forces would want to tear a piece of flesh from him!
"Doesn't he want the flesh and blood of the Beast God? Then give it to him. I also want to see just how far a Realm Lord can defy the heavens?"

The founder of the giant axe laughed.

He knew Qin Ming had a secret and a great opportunity, but since Qin Ming had already become the master of the Dark Lord, he was now one of his own.

There's no need to dig deeper.

Which powerful person hasn't had a fortuitous encounter?
Which of those who can become the ruler of the universe didn't have some extraordinary experience?

Does he intend to investigate them all one by one?

"Well, let's gather the others and let them know after the Spirit Nourishing Potion is released in the outer battlefield."

If other ethnic groups react as expected, it will likely cause quite a bit of trouble.

This little guy is quite ruthless. He created a very powerful Soul Clan using some unknown means. During this period, he has hunted down thousands of alien races that have been granted the title of King, and tens of thousands that have been granted the title of Marquis.

And this data is still rising at an extremely rapid pace.

Even the most powerful clans would feel the pain if their prey, hunted by them, could not be resurrected.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled.

"With me here, nothing serious will happen!"

The giant axe smiled proudly.

Although he did not possess any supreme treasures, his strength was no less than that of any of the strongest beings in the original universe.

With him personally overseeing things, there's nothing to worry about.

Tribal war?

The commotion Qin Ming caused isn't enough to warrant this!

"Let's wait a while and see what the situation is like on the side of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler."

If all goes well, we'll need to find a way to secretly hunt down a group of Universe Venerables. The top-tier races are difficult to deal with, but the other races are still manageable.” “Yes, preparations are already underway.”

……

After exiting the virtual universe, Qin Ming, who was in the Netherworld, immediately separated a soul sub-body, took the Spirit Nourishing Potion, and teleported to the headquarters of the virtual universe company, entering Chaos City.

The remains of a special life form at the level of a cosmic venerable!

What kind of power could be specially collected by the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos City?
They'll absolutely make a killing!
And there was the ultimate treasure trove of humankind that was open to him.

His human body, and even the genetic multipliers of his other three clones, may receive an epic-level enhancement due to the Spirit Nourishing Potion!

Skillfully traversing the cosmic passage, the soul sub-body transformed into the appearance of an envoy from the Chaos City Lord's Mansion and entered the inner city of Chaos City.

hum!
When Qin Ming stepped into that familiar courtyard, the Lord of Darkness was already waiting there.

"Inside are the remains of 12 special life forms at the level of cosmic venerables and cosmic overlords. Among them, the one with the highest gene multiplication factor is the top cosmic overlord 'Thunder Whale King' with 8700 times. I think it will be of some help to you."

The Lord of Darkness smiled and took out a World Ring, which floated and flew in front of Qin Ming.

The top-tier cosmic overlord, 'Thunder Whale Emperor', is 8700 times stronger!
When Qin Ming heard the number 8700, his heart clenched violently. It was too brutal!

A top-tier, universe-overlord-level special life form, whose divine power is a hundred times purer than that of an ordinary universe overlord, coupled with supreme treasures and an extremely powerful divine body, can indeed contend with the lord of the universe and fight against him for a long time.

However, that refers to first-order and second-order cosmic lords!

How could a mere top-tier universe overlord like the Lord of Darkness possibly resist such a powerful fifth-order universe lord?
They will be instantly annihilated!

"Thank you teacher!"

Qin Ming happily accepted the world ring and completed the refining process in an instant.

When the consciousness probed into it, the first thing it saw was a giant whale that was over 100,000 kilometers long and still occasionally flashed with lightning, even though it had long since perished!
The giant whale's body was covered with bluish-purple muscle folds, and the bulging blood vessels between the folds flowed with electric light. Its dorsal fin was like a serrated pillar of thunderstorm clouds.

Qin Ming was thrilled by what he saw.

For flesh-and-blood life forms, even the most powerful cosmic overlords, reaching 10 kilometers is already quite astonishing.

The essence of flesh and blood extracted from just one 'Thunder Whale King' was enough to boost his human genes to an astonishing number.

Beside the remains of the 'Thunder Whale King' were bone-armored blood rhinoceroses with plates tens of thousands of kilometers long, and ferocious birds with wingspans of thousands of kilometers, among others.

Judging from the aura they exuded, each of them probably possessed the strength of a cosmic overlord in their lifetime.

"I hope it can help you improve your strength."

The Lord of Darkness smiled slightly, then took out another world ring and spoke.

“These are special life forms given to you by your senior uncle, the Lord of Chaos City. I took a look and there are more than a dozen of them, but their corpses are somewhat broken.”

"Broken? That doesn't matter."

Qin Ming shook his head with delight. What did it matter if it was broken?
Not everyone is as skilled in soul attacks as the Lord of Darkness; it's normal for corpses to be somewhat broken.

The Myriad Souls Banner can refine it into the essence of flesh and blood!
"These are spirit-nourishing potions. Among them, the 100 specially marked immortal-level potions are quite powerful and suitable for King-level experts. They should also be helpful for invincible King-level beings."

I will continue refining the rest.

As he spoke, Qin Ming took out a world ring and respectfully handed it over.

"No rush! I'll give you the flesh and blood of the eight innate beast gods later."

You have all the resources you need.

What I'd like to see more of is your increased strength, and your creation of secret techniques shouldn't fall behind either. I'll be monitoring your cultivation progress during this time.

The Lord of Darkness looked at Qin Ming.

"Don't worry, teacher, I definitely won't let you down."

Qin Ming grinned, his expression full of confidence.

His strength is constantly improving at the fastest speed!
When the human race opens its treasury to him, and the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos bestow upon him top-tier special life forms, his genetic multiplier will increase again at an astonishing rate.

This will cause its speed to increase dramatically once again!

"Go, I look forward to the day when you become a true strongman."
