Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 325 The Nine Tribulations Mystery! Luo Feng's Cultivation Strategy

Inside the palace in the underworld.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged and began to circulate the second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

Having experienced the first tribulation of cultivation, the second tribulation began very smoothly.

Whoosh!
72000 auxiliary crystalline threads and 1440 main threads perfectly combine the Force Crystal Sphere, Soul Crystal Sphere, and body, simulating an 'inner universe' within the entire body.

At this moment, Qin Ming stood in front of Luo Feng, his soul power seeping into his body. Through his flesh and blood evolution ability, he could clearly see that at the moment the inner universe was formed, Luo Feng's body genes slowly evolved under the impetus of the inner universe.

In normal martial arts training, gene evolution occurs naturally at each stage.

However, as it cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, it began to evolve on its own!
"Incredible!"

Qin Ming watched this scene in amazement. He saw droplets of energy being continuously transmitted along the silk threads, penetrating into his body's cells and beginning to drive slight changes in the cells' genes.

72000 auxiliary crystalline threads and 1440 main threads form a perfect cosmic cycle, constantly driving the slow changes in cellular genes. Although slow, it is happening nonetheless.

Crackling!

Even the slightest change in a person's genes can cause a complete transformation of the body.

Qin Ming watched this scene in amazement.

It wasn't due to changes in Luo Feng's physical genes.

His gene count is much higher than Luo Feng's, approaching 8000 times.

Some genetic evolution can also be achieved through the essence of flesh and blood, and even faster.

What shocked him was the profound mystery of the inner universe. These mere 72000 auxiliary threads and 1440 threads actually simulated the cosmic cycle with the body and soul crystal ball!

Qin Ming's understanding of the laws is actually extremely profound. He has already thoroughly comprehended the spatial blockade, strangulation, and teleportation of the spatial laws, and is currently trying to integrate them into one.

He didn't expend too much effort on the laws of time, but with the World Tree's extraordinary talent for controlling spacetime, he achieved recognition from all the laws, and even came close to comprehending the art of time stillness.

In addition, by constantly studying the rules governing the initial universe and controlling the Netherworld, he has developed his own understanding of how the universe works.

But what we see before us is a near-perfect simulation of the universe's operation and cycles.

"That's truly amazing!"

Qin Ming's eyes shone brightly, and his River of Souls trembled violently as he did his utmost to record and analyze the inner universe formed by those individual threads.

"By simulating the workings of the universe to enhance my genes, can I replicate this process? I already possess a peculiar world—the Netherworld!"

The Netherworld within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is extremely special, and its status is in no way inferior to that of the primordial universe.

Life in the primordial universe was limited to breaking through the genetic limit of a hundredfold, but life in the Netherworld was not subject to this limitation.

I might be able to try cultivating and activating the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture myself!
Time continues.

Luo Feng was completely immersed in the perfect cosmic cycle formed within his body, and this genetic evolution was automatically and slowly propelled by the continuous cycle of the universe.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was observing silently.

One day or two days... and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

Luo Feng suddenly convulsed violently, his eyes widened and turned bloodshot. His skin and muscles ruptured and his bones broke, turning him into a bloody mess in an instant.

Bang!
With his perfect cosmic cycle disrupted, Luo Feng instantly turned into ashes.

A moment later, a new body emerged from Luo Feng's original core.

“The cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is actually very dangerous. One wrong move and it will collapse. Without the talent of creating clones, it is impossible to cultivate.”

The construction of cosmic cycles is far too complex.

Although this secret method describes how to set it up, it is only a general explanation. The cosmic cycle I constructed still has many flaws.

If we get close to the true mysteries of the cosmic cycle, then there will be no problem.

Of course, once you break through to the level of a Marquis and achieve immortality, possessing an immortal body won't pose any danger.

Luo Feng looked at Qin Ming, who was deep in thought, and said.

Is the cosmic cycle not perfect enough?

Qin Ming seemed to be pondering, but he also understood.

How vast was the primordial universe?

There are ten laws of light. When the universe is in operation, these laws are integrated and intertwined, just like many gears meshing and turning.

Time and space are inseparable; only when time and space are integrated can the most basic framework of the universe be formed.

Therefore, understanding the workings and cycles of the universe is even more difficult than understanding the laws of time and space alone.

Luo Feng was able to achieve this not because of his own efforts.

It is the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture!

The 72000 auxiliary crystalline threads, 1440 main threads, primal force crystal spheres, soul crystal spheres, and the body in the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex are like a program.

Luo Feng simply copied the existing program and made it run.

Even so, there were still quite a few bugs!

That's why the body breaks down.

“Continue your cultivation. The inner universe model formed by this Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is too complex, and I haven’t fully recorded it yet.”

Qin Ming spoke.

"Record?"

Luo Feng looked at Qin Ming in shock. He was able to cultivate using a secret technique. However, due to the limitations of the primordial universe, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual could only be carried by a 'Heavenly Soul Crystal' and could only be cultivated by one person.

At this moment, Qin Ming needs to rely entirely on himself to observe and record the extremely complex inner universe model within his body.

The difficulty is on a completely different level. "Hmm, my River of Souls clone is most skilled at deduction and calculation. Although it is complex, it is not impossible, and it can also observe the operation of the inner universe within your body."

For me, it's also an excellent way to cultivate myself.

Qin Ming said.

"Your soul is still too weak. Absorb these soul essences first. Once your soul is stronger, the secret technique will run more stably."

As he spoke, dozens of soul essences appeared in Qin Ming's hand.

The essence of a soul at the King level!
"This? It's too valuable!"

Luo Feng couldn't help but smile wryly. He knew very well the value of this item. In the outer battlefield, it took 1 Treasure Point to exchange for a King-level Spirit Nourishing Potion.

A weak soul?

He was a top genius who could kill a King during his Realm Lord era, and his genes were hundreds of times stronger, but in front of Qin Ming, his soul was too weak.

Qin Ming was able to withstand the soul attack unleashed by a high-level Venerable burning his divine body during his Realm Lord era!
There's no need for formalities between us.

I have plenty of soul crystals here, but they can't compare to the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture at all!
The second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual requires decades, or even centuries, to cultivate your genes to their maximum potential.

Your improvement in strength also benefits me.

Qin Ming said with a smile.

He wanted to comprehend the inner universe operating model that Luo Feng had improved, and naturally, the more perfect the better!
Moreover, it won't be long before Luo Feng goes to the Star Tower to receive the inheritance.

Because of him, Luo Feng's journey was smooth, and he faced far fewer life-or-death crises.

This also means that his will might be weaker than in the original timeline.

This is something that even if he becomes an apprentice of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom and the Lord of Darkness, he cannot change. Genetic multiplication and soul can be enhanced by external forces, but willpower can only be honed by himself.

A strong soul simply makes one's will and consciousness stronger.

It takes six thousand years for the Star Tower to recognize a master!

The realm lord requires a consciousness at the level of a cosmic venerable to possibly pass through; even Luo Feng in the original timeline almost didn't make it through.

If someone dies in the Star Tower because of this, that would be a real disaster.

Thinking of this, an idea popped into Qin Ming's mind.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Luo Feng reluctantly accepted it. He had originally intended to repay his senior brother, but in the end, he was the one who benefited.

"Simply consuming soul essence can only strengthen your soul, but it won't help improve your will. During your time here, let your will be tempered once more."

"At least reach the level of a Cosmic Venerable!"

Qin Ming smiled as he looked at Luo Feng, thinking that Luo Feng was an expert at tempering one's will!

As the master of the Myriad Souls Banner, he had to endure the impact of the wills of billions of souls within it day and night; otherwise, his will would not have improved so rapidly.

"The will of a Cosmic Venerable? How can that be improved?"

Luo Feng was shocked. The Realm Lord possessed the will of a Venerable?
How can this be?

But then I thought, Qin Ming was able to withstand the soul attack of the Blood Mist Venerable, so his will must be extremely strong, and he must have reached the Venerable level.

"The method is very simple. It just depends on whether you can bear the pain."

Qin Ming looked at Luo Feng with a smile.

With the essence of the soul present, even if the soul consciousness is damaged by the impact of evil energy, it is not a problem and can be easily repaired.

"Endure pain? If that's all there is to it, then no problem! Please help me, senior brother."

Luo Feng said confidently.

He had also gone through all sorts of hardships. In the Blood Luo World, he spent decades in the vortex of evil energy, honing his will to an extremely high level.

"Okay! Are you ready?"

"it is good!"

"what--"

The moment Luo Feng finished speaking, an extremely fierce killing aura attacked his sea of ​​consciousness, and countless shouts of killing rang out, which were hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than the killing aura vortex he had experienced in the Blood Luo World!
His eyes widened, his face contorted in agony, and he let out a shrill scream, rolling on the ground in agony.

Looking at Luo Feng's appearance, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected, Luo Feng's consciousness was much weaker than in the original timeline, and he couldn't withstand the impact of the baleful aura at the King-level invincible realm.

If one were to actually accept the Star Tower's inheritance, unless they had a breakthrough at a crucial moment with extraordinary abilities, they would inevitably perish.

"Tsk, I won't let you call me senior brother for nothing. With just the will of a Venerable, you'll improve your soul while being impacted by the baleful energy of the will. As long as you can withstand it, you'll improve very quickly."

……

Extraterritorial battlefield, the seventh battlefield.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Thousands of Soul Hall members, shrouded in thick black mist, emerged from the teleportation channel. As arranged by the Virtual Universe Company, some of them directly joined various legions.

The other group went to a special garrison within the frontline base.

This scene was simultaneously unfolding at 1100 frontline bases across the entire extraterritorial battlefield.

The ordinary 'Soul Reapers' in these Soul Palaces are not very strong. Most of them are only at the level of King or Marquis, and most of them are humans who have died on the battlefield!
The Soul Palace has officially stepped out from behind the scenes and into the open.

When the outposts in the major bases were opened, the geniuses who had been enhanced by the War God Potion took the initiative to enter their outposts under the arrangement of the five top forces, including the Virtual Universe Company.

They were transported to a strange space, where they were allowed to release their bodies and undergo a series of detailed examinations.

While exploring the 'Inner Universe' of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual within Luo Feng's body, Qin Ming did not abandon his in-depth research on the Yan God Clan bloodline!

"The Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture and the Flame God Clan are indeed of the same lineage. The Mountain-Sitting Guest actually integrated the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture into his bloodline through this method, turning it into a kind of life instinct and talent!"
