Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 298 The Dark Lord's Shock: You Don't Even Spare the Dead?
"What the hell?"

The Lord of Darkness stared at Qin Ming in shock. As a top-tier fifth-order universe lord, he had witnessed countless strange and wondrous events.

Along the way, Qin Ming has already been incredibly extraordinary.

His heart also became extremely strong because of the things Qin Ming did.

Even if Qin Ming told him now that he was able to kill an invincible king, comprehend the three great mysteries of the laws of space, and be comparable to a cosmic venerable, he wouldn't be too shocked.

What kind of operation is it to be able to revive and become a king?
Indeed, the World Tree possesses the talent to control space and time, and it's understandable if Qin Ming can achieve this if he becomes a top overlord.

Having broken through to the level of a Universe Lord, and possessing a super-powerful divine body and the talent to control time and space, it's not surprising that his resurrection ability is stronger than that of other Universe Lords.

But Qin Ming is only at the Realm Lord level!
resurrection?

This is a power bestowed by the Lord of the Universe, the Primordial Universe!
"Teacher, strictly speaking, what I did was not resurrection. Rather, it was to gather his shattered soul after death, and then give him a body so that he could start cultivating again."

Just like the members of the Soul Hall.

There are many limitations, such as the requirement to possess a soul. I cannot revive some soulless rock life forms, metal life forms, etc.

"And after they die, their souls need to be collected immediately, and bodies need to be prepared for them..."

Qin Ming shrugged and explained.

After a soul is devoured by the Myriad Souls Banner, its divine kingdom will also be pulled in and devoured. However, as the owner of the Myriad Souls Banner, one can naturally control whether or not to devour it.

"You're really too..."

The Lord of Darkness was even more shocked after hearing this.

weak?
In his view, this kind of resurrection was no less powerful than reversing time and space, and might even be stronger!
Reversing time comes at a price.

Its backlash is so strong that even the ruler of the universe would be unable to withstand it and would be injured.

But Qin Ming's unconventional method of resurrection has no backlash! This means that he can resurrect repeatedly as long as he wants, and the only cost is some energy.

Even if the three major races united, they could not outlast humanity.

As for other drawbacks, they are nothing compared to the ability to resurrect almost infinitely.

Moreover, he seemed to have discovered a very serious problem.

"Qin Ming, do you mean you first restored your soul, and then used the methods of a bloodline alchemist to cultivate a body?"

After the initial shock, the Lord of Darkness seemed to have discovered a serious problem.

Cultivating a body?

He naturally knew that Qin Ming was a top-tier bloodline pharmacist. Although he was somewhat shocked that Qin Ming could cultivate a body with no more than 10 times the genetic potential, he could still accept it.

After all, he and the Lord of Chaos City had invested a lot of resources.

Because of the popularity of the Spirit Nourishing Elixir, the human leadership is already discussing how much flesh and blood of the eight innate beast gods should be given to Qin Ming.

Note that it's not about whether to give or not.

It's not about how much to give!
The Virtual Universe Company even mobilized its manpower to hunt down members of the Yan God Clan, capturing over a hundred of them below the Immortal level.

The key to the problem lies in the fusion of soul and body, transforming back into a divine body!
According to Qin Ming, after death, his soul fragments were reassembled using his special abilities, and their form resembled that of a soul life.

However, once the body is cultivated, it can be easily fused and transformed back into a divine body.

Well, the problem is coming.

Does it have to be the divine body in front of him?

Could we replace it with something else, or enlarge and strengthen the body?
For example, most human bodies are only two or three meters tall, and even after being transformed into divine bodies, they are still only two or three meters tall!

If you are reborn into a new body after death.

Could we replace it with one that is larger and has greater potential?
Even if we don't talk about the demon race's range of tens of kilometers, we could use a giant race, a fire god race, or something similar!
If that were possible, wouldn't the divine body increase dramatically?

Thinking of this, the Lord of Darkness spoke up and voiced his question.

"Change bodies?"

Qin Ming was taken aback; he hadn't expected the Lord of Darkness to think of this first.

He immediately thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Teacher, it's theoretically possible, but in practice, there will be many problems."

He had actually considered this matter.

The problem of divine physique is a weakness for most human powerhouses, which is why it is difficult for human powerhouses of the same level to compete with other top races.

Demons, for example, often have a size of hundreds or thousands of meters.

The size of royalty and imperial family members can reach tens or even hundreds of miles.

Under the same circumstances of comprehending the laws and using secret techniques, it is certain that a human powerhouse will be defeated in a battle of attrition. How long can a two-meter-tall body burn when burning a divine body?

Those demon royals, whose range spans tens of kilometers, can easily wear down human powerhouses with their powerful divine bodies.

If we take advantage of the fact that we become souls after death and replace them with a larger body, wouldn't that solve the problem?

It's like possessing another body before achieving immortality.

But it's hard.

Before achieving immortality, one's soul exists in the sea of ​​consciousness, within the primordial core, thus enabling the possession of another's body.

During the time of the Domain Lord and Realm Lord, their bodies were no longer a vital organ.

Even if it breaks, it can be quickly restored.

After breaking through to immortality, the inner world transforms into a divine kingdom, and the soul begins to merge closely with the body in the form of a soul imprint, transforming into a divine body similar to an energy life form.

Injury to the body can actually cause harm.

The soul can easily merge with the original body, transforming into a divine body.

But what if it were replaced with an even larger body?

This fusion is not so easy, because it is impossible to properly fuse the soul imprint with the body and transform it back into a divine body. "I see, it seems I was just daydreaming."

The Lord of Darkness shook his head; trying to find a loophole was indeed not an easy task.

Being able to revive is already incredibly powerful; if one could easily replace the body during the process, that would be even more extraordinary.

The soul is truly wondrous.

Even though he was a top-tier fifth-order soul master, he still had many questions about the soul.

"Not exactly. The teacher's idea is theoretically feasible, but some issues need to be addressed, such as the adaptability of the soul and body, and the strength of the soul itself."

It's barely possible to fuse a 2-meter soul with a 3-5 meter body.

But if we want to integrate hundreds of meters or tens of kilometers, we must strengthen its soul!
Perhaps I can do that when my research into the soul and body goes deeper.

But not yet.

Qin Ming, however, smiled.

"Then let's talk about it later. Don't rush to use your method of soul resurrection."

The Lord of Darkness, having calmed down, spoke.

There was a rare smile in his eyes.

"Our human race has not reached the point where we need you to take the lead. At most, a hundred or so kings will die, which will not affect the overall situation."

Your abilities are very useful!
But before it was time to expose itself, the Soul Hall had already become the target of everyone's attacks.

Those who possess the Spirit-Nourishing Potion have further united to suppress our human race.

If another soul resurrection ability were to emerge, the other three major races would likely go mad, and might even join forces to completely annihilate humanity.

Qin Ming's expression hardened; this was exactly what he was worried about.

That's why they thought of using the World Tree to control spacetime and other abilities to disguise themselves as the Lord of the Universe, making it as believable as possible.

"hold on!"

"I'll do it when you're stronger, and when humanity's foundation is stronger!"

"Or, we can secretly resurrect them when the next large-scale resurrection of our human race occurs."

"Death, too, deserves reverence."

"If one loses a sense of awe, one cannot unleash one's full potential in the face of life and death."

The Lord of Darkness looked at Qin Ming.

This disciple always manages to surprise him time and time again. Although he is still young, he is very steady in his actions and has no arrogance of a genius.

He will not make decisions on his own when faced with important matters.

The human race is one of the six supreme races, and it was once a race that dominated the entire primordial universe and the cosmic sea.

Which of the other top-tier clans isn't secretly on guard?

Nobody wants another emperor emeritus to sit on their head!

Therefore, the giant axe must carefully conceal its strength.

Qin Ming had no idea how important he was to humanity.

His talent is unparalleled in the world, and perhaps only his teacher, the 'Original Ancestor', can compare to him.

The original master was skilled in weapon crafting.

Qin Ming is skilled in medicine. He not only has the ability to extract the essence of the soul, but also developed a heaven-defying item called the Spirit Nourishing Medicine.

The higher-ups were all looking forward to his rise, and even the founder of the Giant Axe secretly returned from the Cosmic Sea to oversee the clan.

Its purpose was actually to protect Qin Ming!
Once Qin Ming's identity is exposed, other races will likely send out the strongest beings in the universe to kill him.

When Qin Ming truly faces a crisis, it's not just the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos who appear.

And a giant axe!

However, they did not intend to tell Qin Ming these things, so as not to put too much pressure on him and affect his cultivation.

The high-ranking human races have even devised a plan to hunt down cosmic overlords, which will be implemented once the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom breaks through, aiming to enable the top cosmic overlords and cosmic masters of the human race to break through.

Like his second disciple, the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse.

Once you break through to become a universe master, you will start as a third-tier universe master thanks to your special life clone!
Humanity at present does not have the ability to contend with the three major races.

But that may not be the case in the future.

In the eyes of the higher-ups, the overseas battlefields were just minor skirmishes, a training ground for cultivating future talents.

Hunting at the Venerable stage is a major event that can affect the entire race!

"Disciple understands."

Qin Ming sighed; this matter was indeed not so easy.

"What? You want to make a living by resurrecting people and have those powerful kings work for you?"

Seemingly sensing Qin Ming's thoughts, the Lord of Darkness said irritably.

"While they were alive, they schemed to collect souls for you and take bullets for you; even in death, they won't let you go?"

As the Lord of Darkness who rose to power in the early days of the universe, he has protected humanity from the shadows for countless years and saw through Qin Ming's little scheme at a glance.

"Teacher! I didn't scheme against them! It was a fair trade! They all went to the battlefield voluntarily, hoping to gain a chance for a breakthrough!"

Qin Ming's eyes widened, and he immediately protested his innocence.

"Do you think I don't know you? These people's souls will remain in your hands for now, to be resurrected when the time is right. If you run out of resources, just tell me!"
