Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 326 Ten Thousand Times the Gene! The Soaring Gene Multiplier
The underworld.

Time passed, and a hundred years went by in a flash.

"What an amazing 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual'! The Mountain-Sitting Guest truly lives up to his reputation as a reincarnation of a god-king."

The more Qin Ming observed and studied the cosmic operating model within Luo Feng's body, and the more he saw those geniuses who had undergone bloodline transformations thanks to the War God Potion, the more admiring he became.

He truly deserves to be called a reincarnated god-king.

This is not a secret technique that could be created in the primordial universe, or even a secret technique that a true god or a void god could create.

Only with an extremely profound understanding of the workings of the universe can one connect souls through a mere few thousand threads; the Force Crystal Core thus created such a secret method.

It should be noted that the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" is a core secret technique even in the Jin Kingdom of the Origin Continent!

In the original timeline, when Luo Feng entered the Jin World and encountered the virtual soul of the Jin God King, the Jin God King said that this was one of the Jin World's secret techniques that were not passed down to outsiders.

After cultivation, not only will the divine body undergo a rapid transformation, but it will also greatly benefit the soul. It is a super technique that can absolutely change one's comprehension and talent.

Those who have cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual are the true core of the Jin Kingdom.

Once he cultivates the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," he doesn't need to make any vows or do anything special. As long as he enters the Origin Continent, he will naturally stand on the opposite side of the Food Kingdom.

In the primordial universe, it was directly resisted by the rules of the primordial universe!

One can imagine the value of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

The Yan God Clan is a race specially created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest using the Nine Tribulations Secret Technique. They possess extremely powerful physical talents and have the potential to break through to the Infinite Divine Body.

However, when the Flame God Clan was created, too much emphasis was placed on their physical attributes while neglecting their souls, resulting in a flawed product.

When both observed simultaneously, Qin Ming clearly saw every step of the process with his Flesh and Blood Evolution talent, and began to frantically deduce from the River of Souls, a massive amount of information and inspiration resonated in his consciousness.

The River of Souls is a life form of souls, whose thought processes far exceed those of ordinary life forms. Through its frenzied devouring of souls in the extraterrestrial battlefield, its body has expanded to an astonishing degree.

When a legion war breaks out in the extraterritorial battlefield, once a legion is defeated, the number of souls it devours is in the hundreds of millions!
Moreover, these souls are of extremely high quality, at least at the level of World Lords, and Immortals are a dime a dozen.

This caused the body of the River of Souls to expand wildly in a very short time, reaching 3 million kilometers, and it continues to expand at an astonishing rate.

When all these factors come together, Qin Ming gains a sufficient understanding and insight into the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

"Let's see if we can imitate it."

Qin Ming took a deep breath.

Over the course of a century, he has absorbed a vast amount of the essence of top-tier special life forms, increasing his human genetic makeup to 8300 times.

The higher the gene count, the more difficult it is to improve.

This is something that even the most elite special life forms he devoured could not change.

If one can cultivate through the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, not only will a lot of time be saved, but also a lot of resources!
Based on my own observations over the past century.

Qin Ming already clearly understood the key points of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual: it uses the Soul Crystal Sphere and the Force Crystal Sphere as the core to release mental power and force, continuously integrating them into every cell of his body.

The three elements are integrated into a balanced whole, forming an inner universe within the body and driving the evolution of one's genes.

Because there are no real secret methods, one can only rely on observation, making this method extremely prone to failure.

And failure means annihilation.

However, Qin Ming himself is only a little over two meters tall, so rebirth is very simple.

The increase in gene ploidy is a permanent proof.

As long as the genetic multiplier remains at its highest level even after death and rebirth, there's no need to worry about the genetic multiplier decreasing after death due to the use of treasures.

Otherwise, Qin Ming would not have dared to try it so easily.

A thought came to mind.

With Qin Ming's powerful soul and control over his body, the psychic crystal ball and the primal force crystal ball simultaneously fired out 720 energy threads, which quickly penetrated into 720 key energy acupoints throughout his body.

"The body is its own inner universe, rise!"

Threads of energy rapidly merged into every part of Qin Ming's body, connecting every cell and forming an extremely complex inner universe.

However, before Qin Ming could rejoice.

Bang!
Qin Ming's human form suddenly changed his expression, his face turned flushed, and his muscles and bones rapidly dissolved and collapsed, turning directly into ashes.

call!
The clothes fell to the ground, leaving only ashes; Qin Ming had vanished.

Life gathers in the World Tree.

Qin Ming's newly formed body flew out from it. Qin Ming frowned. After countless deductions and calculations, he was able to precisely control every bit of power with his powerful soul force.

But it still failed.

Qin Ming was not discouraged.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is resisted by the laws of the universe, which will automatically erase its contents, so he cannot obtain it from Luo Feng.

Even someone as powerful as the Mountain-Sitting Guest can only be made to bear it by the Heavenly Soul Crystal.

However, the Heavenly Soul Crystal can only be passed on once. As long as the cultivator is alive, the Heavenly Soul Crystal cannot be passed on to a second cultivator unless the first cultivator perishes.

To think that one could easily create such a secret method by simply observing it and succeed on the first try is truly wishful thinking.

This was also within Qin Ming's expectations.

Come again!

Bang!Bang!Bang!
His body was broken time and time again.

Tens of thousands of failures made Qin Ming realize that simple imitation was definitely impossible. It involved not only the simple patterns of silk threads, but also the laws governing the universe. His understanding of the laws of space was comparable to that of a Space Venerable.

However, their understanding of the laws of time is far from sufficient.

"Then continue taking the essence of flesh and blood. It doesn't matter if it takes a little more resources and time."

At the same time, he devoted some energy to comprehending the laws of time and studying the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

"I'm still a Realm Lord, so advancement is easy! Plus, I have the innate flesh and blood of a Beast God; I might be able to directly increase my power by 10081 times."

Qin Ming calmed down.

He had a premonition that it would be difficult to reach 10081 times simply by relying on resources, as the gene multiplication rate would become increasingly difficult to increase.

For example, the Lord of Darkness and other top human universe lords like the Lord of Chaos City are not lacking in resources.

Yet it's still a peak value of 10,000 times!
Instead of 10081 times.

It wasn't just them; all the other top universe masters in the primordial universe were the same!

If one could accumulate resources to reach 10081 times their original size simply by relying on precious resources, then the bodies of the Dark Lord and others would have already undergone a transformation, reaching 90,000 kilometers in length.

A 10081-fold increase in genes represents a qualitative change!

Not only will they receive the most powerful secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe, but their divine bodies will also be able to reach a range of 90,000 kilometers!

……

On the other side, Luo Feng was also quietly cultivating in the Netherworld.

If one simply cultivates the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, it would only take a few decades to reach the limit of gene multiplication. However, with the soul essence and baleful energy given by Qin Ming to stimulate cultivation, it is much more difficult.

Luo Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave.

For cultivators, the soul and will become increasingly important as they progress.

A strong will makes it easier to overcome challenges in life-or-death situations.

In the Netherworld, he could clearly feel his will growing stronger, much stronger than it had been in the vortex of malevolent energy in the Blood Luo World.

……

Another century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking up at the sky from within the Chaos City, Qin Ming murmured to himself, "I have fully comprehended the profound mystery of the Time Law, 'Time Stillness,' and my human body's life gene level is now 8500 times greater!"

"continue!"

Qin Ming continued to comprehend the laws governing the initial universe. He possessed the exposed rules of the universe's operation within the initial universe, the World Tree's talent for controlling spacetime, and the ability to observe the inner universe operating within Luo Feng's body, which was undergoing the Nine Tribulations.

Qin Ming's strength improved very quickly.

Being able to feel continuous improvement is a wonderful feeling in itself.

Three hundred years...

Four hundred years...

Qin Ming was completely immersed in cultivation until six hundred years later, when Luo Feng's will had been honed to the level of a Universe Venerable, and he could no longer improve it, so he chose to leave.

Qin Ming opened the Gate of the Underworld and sent it away.

In 600 years, Qin Ming had a very clear understanding of the inner universe operating model of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, so there was no point in Luo Feng leaving it behind.

Qin Ming had some ideas about the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual through repeated attempts.

There is absolutely no need for me to replicate the complete Nine Tribulations Manual.

Having consumed the essence of flesh and blood refined by the Lord of the Universe with ten thousand times the genetic power for 600 years, his genetic multiplier has increased to 9800 times.

It's very close to 10081 times.

All that is needed is to replicate the first tribulation of the ninth-order secret manual, or even simplify it, so as to increase the gene multiplier slightly, such as from 10,000 times to 10081 times.

that's enough.

simplify!
It's like a simplified and weakened version of the War God Potion for the Flame God Clan's bloodline.

If I succeed, it will not only bring about a qualitative change in myself, but it will also be a top-tier secret technique for the human race.

This means that universe masters with 10,000 times the genetic power, such as the Dark Lord Teacher and the Chaos City Lord, can all be upgraded to 10081 times and possess a divine body of 90,000 kilometers through the same method!
……

A thousand years later, Qin Ming sat quietly under the World Tree.

"With the original body's genes increased by 10021 times, further improvement by consuming ordinary blood and flesh essence is extremely slow, or even impossible."

Qin Ming felt the changes in his body. For the past thousand years, he had been consuming the essence of flesh and blood to improve himself, and researching the laws of time and the ultimate techniques of creation.

Significant progress has been made in both areas, with the increase in the number of human genes being both incredibly strong and very slow.

It has increased by 10021 times.

But this has reached its limit.

The further you progress, the more difficult it becomes. You struggle to improve your life's genetic level, but the improvement is extremely small, until you finally get close to that critical point.

Qin Ming could even see the composition of every cell. Whether viewed from a macroscopic or microscopic perspective, the human body seemed to be perfect from every angle.

But Qin Ming knew that this was not truly perfect!
"Next, it's time to consume the flesh and blood of the innate beast god. Hopefully, this will allow me to break through the shackles in one fell swoop!"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ming took out a piece of flesh essence condensed from the flesh and blood of the eight innate beast gods, which he had prepared beforehand, and put it into his mouth.

Success or failure depends on this!
