Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 318 The Ice Peak Lord Who Beats Up the Flame Emperor

The Cosmic Venerable has joined the battle!
This is a common practice in large-scale ethnic wars in extraterritorial battlefields.

However, in the large-scale inter-race wars that occurred once every thousand epochs in the past, the cosmic venerables rarely actually took action; at most, it was just some newly advanced venerables who participated.

After all, the extraterritorial battlefield is mainly a place for the four major races to cultivate talents, not a place for real life-and-death battles.

A beginner venerable is a venerable, and a higher venerable is also a venerable.

However, their strengths are worlds apart.

But this time is different from the past. This is to join forces to stifle humanity's future potential and obtain as many Divine Elixir, Dawn Elixir, and War God Elixir formulas as possible from the human race.

It's highly likely that high-ranking Venerables will intervene.

Moreover, while they were making their moves on the battlefields outside the region, the clashes between the human race's intelligence departments behind the scenes were actually far more intense!
One by one, the pieces that had been hidden for many years were put to use.

Whether it's possession, soul enslavement, or simply bribery, they try every possible means to get close to the top pharmacists among the human race.

When Qin Ming refined the Spirit Nourishing Potion, he also entrusted the refining process to the higher-ups of humanity, and some top pharmacists also learned it.

Using 'Soul Spirit Fruit' as the main material, and through a series of complex operations, it is possible to refine a World Lord-level Spirit Nourishing Elixir.

This is one of the reasons why he dared to bring it out openly.

The various methods employed by other top-tier races are so effective that even the Virtual Universe Company would find it difficult to prevent their infiltration.

Possession and soul enslavement are manageable, as the Chaos City Lord can distinguish them once inside the Chaos City.

However, some methods are impossible to distinguish.

For example, people's hearts.

Each of the Zerg queens possesses unparalleled beauty, and their greatest skill lies in bewitching people, captivating and driving them mad at first sight.

Especially the Zerg Queen!
Even the Lord of the Universe would be unable to resist falling for it.

This is not enslavement, it is all seduction.

Ordinary immortals and venerable beings could not possibly stop him, and were willing to do anything for him with unwavering devotion.

They could also find a way to sneak into Chaos City.

Humanity is such a vast population that there will always be some immortal beings who are unhappy and filled with resentment towards humanity.

For example, the Blood Demon King in the Qianwu Universe controls and enslaves an entire star field, and conducts Blood Demon Trials every once in a while to select talent.

If someone were born within the territory and selected for the Blood Demon Trial, who wouldn't harbor resentment?

At this point, all that is needed is to rescue a few of the geniuses, and they will naturally be willing to follow and act as spies for other races.

However, none of this has anything to do with Qin Ming.

The real potion-making center and raw materials are not the top human pharmacists, but the Palace of All Things located in the Netherworld!
As for sneaking into the underworld?

That is impossible.

The Netherworld, also known as the Myriad Soul Banner Space.

All life inside is 'soul enslaved', and Qin Ming will know instantly if any abnormality occurs.

If someone were to voluntarily enter the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Qin Ming wouldn't mind giving him a 'private seat'.

After returning to the Netherworld, Qin Ming continued to refine the corpses of top-tier special life forms, absorbing their blood and flesh essence to increase his gene multiplier. At the same time, while the Cosmic Venerable had not yet joined the fray, he would occasionally enter the battlefield to fight.

Meanwhile, they were also waiting for their Chaos City Lord senior uncle to send more members of the Yan God Clan.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Deep in the universe, the mysterious realm of Yan.

This place is extremely remote. Back then, Emperor Yan betrayed the human race and led his people to occupy this secret realm. With Emperor Yan's strength, naturally no one would compete with him for an ordinary secret realm.

As countless years passed, the Flame God Clan multiplied in the secret realm, and their numbers grew ever larger.

Occasionally, some members of the Yan God Clan would enter the "Extraterritorial Battlefield" to join other factions and fight against humans. Clearly, even after separating from humans, the Yan Emperor still harbored extreme hatred towards them.

When the Demon Clan's Universe Lord tried to win over Emperor Yan by asking him to send his clan into battle against humanity, Emperor Yan readily agreed after receiving a large sum of money in return.

The Yan God Clan is generally not strong in top-tier combat power.

They are still very strong in the immortal stage, especially some of them who wear golden armor or even royal armor, which are no less than kings who possess great treasures and top-level treasures.

hum!
Suddenly, space was torn open, and a silver-haired man with graying temples, wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood and carrying a sword, stepped out.

"My senior brother asked me to capture some members of the Yan God Clan alive, so let's see if the Yan Emperor has improved over the years."

The silver-haired man's voice was icy.

He was aloof and extremely withdrawn, but he was willing to take action if needed within his tribe.

When he discovered that Yan Di was plotting against the human universe lord for a treasure, he was the first to arrive and give him a good beating.

Like the Flame Emperor, the Lord of Ice Peak is also extremely skilled in close combat.

Although the Flame Emperor possessed a supreme-grade armor treasure and a powerful physique, in the eyes of the Ice Peak Lord, the Flame Emperor was nothing more than a barbarian.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yan could run fast thanks to his armor back then, he might have been suppressed by his Ice Mountain Palace.

brush!
The Lord of Ice Peaks instantly traversed a vast distance, his gaze fixed on the Mystic Realm of Flame not far away.

Those were three vast continents. The smallest of the three continents was more than 1 light-year in diameter, and the largest was about 3 light-years in diameter.

The continent is home to a large number of tall and robust Yan Shen people, whose skin is covered with scales and who have a curved horn between their eyebrows, resembling humans from Earth.

The three continents surround each other.

In the central void was a majestic floating palace complex, surrounded by endless flames of various colors.

The moment the Lord of Ice Peaks appeared, inside the highest main hall of the Void Palace complex.

A towering figure, nearly 10,000 kilometers high, covered in a dense layer of scales, with a single horn on its forehead, suddenly rose from its throne.

His gaze was cold and angry as he stared into the void, the air he exhaled from his nostrils causing the surrounding void to ignite.

"Lord of the Ice Peak!"

Emperor Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. His armor materialized, and a halberd radiating a violent aura appeared in his hand.

As the master of the universe, he can sense all spatial fluctuations within tens of millions of light-years!
He naturally noticed the moment the Lord of Ice Peaks appeared.

Memories of being repeatedly hunted down by the Lord of Ice Peaks resurfaced in his mind.

While he was furious, he also knew that even now, his strength was not as great as Bingfeng's.

"Lord of the Ice Peaks! This is the territory of my Flame God Clan! Leave this place!"

The Flame Emperor's aura suddenly surged, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

With three Primal Souls, the Flame God Halberd, and the Calamity Armor—three supreme treasures—the Ice Peak Lord could at most suppress him by one point; it was indeed impossible for him to kill him.

Even the Lord of Chaos City won't do it!
Unless the giant axe takes action himself.

The strongest being in the universe can make his words law and easily change the laws of nature. Only by completely controlling a certain area can one possibly suppress him.

But with the support of the Mountain Guest, the founder of Giant Axe didn't dare to make a move against him casually.

"Emperor Yan, you really don't learn your lesson! Out of respect for the Mountain Guest, our human race was originally going to let you off the hook."

Yet you dare to get involved in the war between humans and the other three top races.

You really don't know how to live or die!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks had a cold gaze, yet his figure approached at lightning speed.

"This is the territory of the Nine Domains Alliance. Do you dare to attack me?"

Emperor Yan roared, and the moment he discovered the Lord of Ice Peak, he notified the other universe lords of the Nine Domains Alliance.

The Lord of Ice Peaks truly cannot kill him.

But he didn't want to be beaten either.

boom!
The Lord of Ice Peaks swung his long sword, the sword light, carrying extreme cold and sharpness, tearing through the sky.

Enraged, Emperor Yan disregarded everything else and, relying on the defense of his armor, charged straight forward.

The two enormous figures clashed billions of times in an instant.

Those specks of cold light constantly fell on the armor, causing the Flame Emperor's body to tremble and emit a chill, but his attacks rarely managed to harm the Lord of the Ice Peak.

Wow!
Suddenly, the moment the Lord of Ice Peaks repelled the Flame Emperor, his hand lashed out towards the largest of the three continents in the Flame God Clan's secret realm.

In an instant, the Ice Peak Lord's hand transformed into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, grasping and enveloping the continent, which was three light-years in diameter, and all the Flame Gods on it vanished.

"As punishment, your people will be forced to labor for my human race for millions of years!"

After capturing the Flame God Clan member, the Lord of Ice Peaks ceased his attacks.

The Flame Emperor's defense was too strong; he could suppress it but could not inflict any real damage.

The objective has been achieved, and there is no need to take any further action.

"You bastard! Release my people! The so-called Lord of the Universe is actually attacking ordinary people!"

You're starting a war!

Emperor Yan roared in fury, for these were more than half of his clansmen!

Beside him, a strange beast appeared amidst the distortion of space and time.

It has a rock-like body, and its shape is somewhat similar to a lion, but it has a total of nine animal heads.

The moment they appeared, the eyes on the nine heads stared intently at the Lord of Ice Peak, who was none other than the 'Lord of Absolute Beacon' in the Nine Domains Alliance, whose strength and status were no less than that of the Flame Emperor.

"Lord of Ice Peaks, you've gone too far! You're provoking the entire Nine Domains Alliance!"

The Lord of Juefeng also roared.

"Provocation? The Flame Emperor attacked our human race, and your Nine Domains Alliance also wants to be enemies with us humans and the Hong Alliance?"

The Lord of Ice Peaks remained indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever for the Nine Domains Alliance.

How dare a weak alliance of races without the strongest being in the universe bar its teeth at humanity?
"Keep an eye on Yan Di! Since he dared to attack humans, he must pay the price!"

With a sneer, the Lord of Ice Peak turned and disappeared.

"Emperor Yan, you can go and complain to the Mountain-Sitting Guest and see if he will turn against our human race for your sake!"
