Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 291 The Demon Clan is Enraged, and a Kill Order is Issued!
"Lord of the Demons, what happened?"

Deep within the main hall, a massive wolf head emerged, its eyes filled with doubt.

"Sirius, none of the kings I've appointed can be resurrected! Are you alright on your end?"

When the problem was first discovered, the ugly-looking Lord of the Netherworld, shrouded in dark energy, looked grim.

"Cannot be resurrected? I have no problem, I can resurrect normally."

The Lord of Sirius slowly emerged from the darkness.

Every so often, each major race needs to resurrect a batch of fallen kings.

There could be many reasons for this.

For example, when a sealed star is born in the Star Tower of the extraterrestrial battlefield, it often triggers a battle of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of immortals. It is quite normal for hundreds of kings to fall.

Or perhaps a truly invincible king emerges from a certain group, suddenly rising up and slaughtering everyone in his path, causing a large number of deaths.

There are also many areas similar to Star Tower in the outer battlefield. Star Tower is just one of the ultra-high intensity battlefields in Battlefield 07. There are several other battlefields of the same level.

With such a large-scale battlefield, it's no surprise that many kings perished.

Reviving hundreds, or even more, kings at once is a huge burden for a cosmic lord. Often, multiple cosmic lords are revived together to reduce the backlash during the resurrection.

Reversing time and resurrecting is a power bestowed upon the universe's master by the original universe, but this power is not without limitations. The more resurrected individuals are resurrected, the stronger the backlash will be.

It is quite normal that many who were granted titles of nobility perished, and some could not be resurrected.

Each race has unique methods to prevent the other from resurrecting and to minimize the emergence of geniuses and powerful individuals from opposing forces.

For example, the top genius of the human race, Koti, could not be resurrected after his fall.

Even those who have been granted titles of kings or venerables may not be able to be resurrected after their deaths.

Otherwise, wouldn't the number of strong individuals in a race never decrease?

However, there are very few ways to influence resurrection, and they often come with various stringent conditions, making them difficult to achieve.

This is why, although the Lord of Annihilation ordered an investigation after discovering that the Golden Serpent Venerable had been killed by the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler and could not be resurrected, he did not pay too much attention to it.

How vast was the primordial universe?
It contains infinite possibilities.

Who dares to say they understand everything and know all the secrets?
Even a reincarnated god-king like Zuo Shan Ke wanted to use the infinite possibilities of the primordial universe to cultivate a race, or rather, to cultivate a disciple who could avenge him.

However, this is ultimately just an isolated case.

It's understandable that a small number of people can't be resurrected, but it's strange that a large number can't be resurrected.

"I'll try!"

The Lord of Sirius immediately began trying to revive this group, but as expected, he found that none of them could be revived.

"Huh? This can be resurrected?"

After failing to revive more than a dozen in a row, Sirius finally found one that was not the problem. Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, but also frowned.

Those who are given priority to be resurrected but fail to be resurrected are the strongest and most talented members of the demon royal family, who are basically at the limit or peak of the King-level.

The weaker ones, however, can be resurrected normally.

"Check which ones cannot be revived!"

The Lord of Sirius and the Lord of the Netherworld immediately discovered that the vast majority of those who could not be resurrected were in the Star Tower area.

There are some in other areas as well, but only a few.

There aren't many spots available for resurrection in the outer battlefields. Even the resurrection of powerful clans depends on luck. Royal families and emperors are relatively lucky, but others have to wait in line.

As for those below the rank of king, that's up to fate.

Occasionally, a batch of people who were granted titles of nobility will be resurrected, but the chances are too small.

Unless you have connections or powerful backers, it's practically impossible.

"Why are all those who cannot be resurrected concentrated in the Star Tower area? How did they die? Gather all the information; I need to know the reason!"

The Lord of Sirius's face was gloomy. More than five hundred of the kings in this batch could not be resurrected!

And this only includes the demon race, not the members of the demon alliance. If this group is included, the number will increase by at least ten times!
This is definitely a major accident.

In fact, if it were simply a matter of a few hundred kings being unable to be resurrected, it wouldn't be a big deal for a powerful race like the demon race.

Because of the large number of royal and imperial family members, the number of kings within their clan is much greater than that of human clans.

But the reason behind this is very important.

It's like the spirit-nourishing potion that the human race suddenly produced on a battlefield outside the realm.

Having seven million more immortals isn't really a big problem.

Every 1000 epochs, a great battle will take place in the outer battlefield, with even the cosmic sovereigns participating.

The immortals who die in a single battle are ten times, a hundred times, or even more.

However, the significance of the Spirit-Nourishing Potion is far too astonishing.

This means that even the lords of divine realms within the human race can become immortal and become cosmic sovereigns!
The overall potential of the human race suddenly increased more than tenfold.

That's really scary.

The first batch of 1000 million Divine Elixir Potions created 700 million Immortals, so what about the second batch of 1 million?
Who knows how many humans can produce?
How many more will there be in the third and fourth batches?

How many more immortals will be born?

This immediately drew the attention of the high-ranking officials of the three major races—the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race—who took it very seriously and issued a kill order against the developers of the Spirit Nourishing Potion. Following the order from the Lord of Sirius, information on this group of fallen Kings was quickly gathered.

"The Soul Clan, the Soul Palace? All the unresurrected Kings were killed by this force that suddenly emerged from the human race?"

The Lord of the Netherworld and the Lord of the Sirius quickly discovered their commonalities.

The Soul Palace was also mentioned in the intelligence report.

This is a race or faction that has only become active in the battlefields outside the region in the last century.

Their group is small, numbering only a few thousand, but their strength is exceptionally powerful, with almost every member possessing the strength to be a king.

When they appear on the battlefield outside the domain, they are shrouded in black smoke. They fight fearlessly and are skilled in soul attacks.

The demon race in the outer battlefield had long discovered this group and had attacked them many times, including hunting down some of them.

The most recent instance was when the demon race's high command mobilized a large number of top-tier beings, including the 'Mysterious Tomb King' and the 'Ten Thousand Poisons King,' in the extraterrestrial battlefield, determined to inflict heavy damage on the Soul Palace.

However, he was suddenly killed by an invincible soul master who had been crowned a king.

"Each of them is skilled in soul attacks, and their bodies are shrouded in black mist. It seems that the secret to their inability to be resurrected may lie in this Soul Clan."

Intelligence suggests this might be a group of spirits residing in some secret realm.

The master of humor frowned.

The primordial universe contained billions of races, with the most powerful and dominant races faring relatively well.

However, the extermination of weak tribes is a constant occurrence, with large numbers of tribes being wiped out almost every moment, while new tribes are also born.

Among the billions of races, there are quite a few that excel at soul attacks, and some are even pure soul beings with extremely strange and special talents.

However, such groups are often very small in number.

For example, the Soul-Devouring Beast is a race comparable to the Demon Slayer Clan. Its primary innate secret technique is 'Soul Devouring,' which allows it to directly devour the souls of its enemies.

Or perhaps it's the Thousand-Eyed Heart Clan, which also has a very small population but extremely powerful individuals who excel at soul attacks.

Some powerful races can establish themselves in the universe without having to be subordinate to top races, relying on their own strength.

"It must be that the human race was lucky enough to discover a powerful race in some secret realm."

The Lord of Sirius shook his head, knowing the problem made things easier.

How dare a mere Soul Clan meddle in the battlefield of the four top clans?

Just send out powerful forces and destroy them.

Kill them until they dare not show their faces!
They might even find their tribe's settlement, completely destroy the entire tribe, and bring about its extinction.

"Judging from the battlefield data, apart from the Xuanmu King who blocked one soul attack, the rest perished on the spot. It seems that he was equipped with a soul treasure, a peerless soul master."

It is indeed a bit troublesome.

Summon the veteran, invincible kings of the tribe and bestow upon them some powerful treasures to defend against soul attacks.

Additionally, send out the invincible kings from the vassal races who are soulless, belonging to the rock, energy, or metal classes.

"Completely annihilate the Soul Hall, issue a kill order, and leave no one alive!"

Within the demon alliance, which is led by the demon race, there are many powerful and weak races.

Among these races are many soulless beings, and the number of those who have been crowned kings or are invincible kings is far greater than that of the demon race!
Forces like the Soul Clan must be destroyed.

The longer the delay, the greater the damage to the demon race.

"Tell the Lord of Annihilation about this matter. He's currently handling these matters within the clan. Have him investigate thoroughly; we haven't confirmed whether it's the Soul Palace involved yet."

However, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free; let's eliminate them first.

After a moment's thought, the Lord of Sirius spoke.

Unlike the human race, which is effectively controlled by the Chaos City Lord, the demon race is far less united, and internal competition is extremely fierce.

Generally, the internal affairs of the alliance are led by top-tier fifth-order universe masters such as the Lord of Changjiu, the Lord of Annihilation, and the Lord of Blood Chisel. Only when major events occur will the information be reported to the two strongest beings in the universe.

As for the Soul Palace?

The Lord of Sirius can issue orders to handle this himself.

……

The underworld.

Qin Ming looked at the powerful souls gathering in the sky with great delight, knowing that the Soul Palace's strength would be greatly enhanced once again.

With the addition of the Xuanmu King, a near-king-level invincible combatant, the weakness of top-tier warriors in close combat has been addressed.

Both Irina and Nan Cheng are Zerg queens who are not good at close combat.

There's also the top-tier alchemist 'King of Ten Thousand Poisons' who has reached the pinnacle of the King-level realm, and he's able to support the 'Hall of All Things' in the Netherworld, which makes things much easier for him.

The demand for Spirit Nourishing Potions is very high.

Fortunately, the Soul Palace's frantic hunting of alien alchemists greatly replenished their manpower, which improved the situation somewhat.

As for the large-scale hunting, will it provoke anger from other ethnic groups?
It's only a matter of time.

Qin Ming was also mentally prepared; at this moment, he was more concerned about the 'Yan God Clan' than anything else.

What secrets does the Yan God Clan hold?
