Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 337 The Giant Axe's Surprise, Toya Black Hole
virtual universe.

This is a vast and desolate world, with an endless starry sky as far as the eye can see, and in the center of the starry sky stands a savage, disheveled man.

"I have met the founder of the giant axe."

Qin Ming bowed respectfully.

When Giant Axe sent the message, he immediately set off.

Those who can become the masters of the universe, except those who follow the path of the Beast God, are beings who have completely mastered the laws of time and space.

Moreover, it wouldn't be too easy for someone as powerful as the Founder of the Giant Axe to give him pointers.

Before obtaining the inheritance of Duan Donghe, if you want to become the strongest in the universe, you must walk your own path!
Only in this way can one possibly become the strongest being in the universe.

The giant axe undoubtedly represents the path to enlightenment through the axe.

For Qin Ming, receiving guidance from such a powerful figure was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

Although he himself did not follow the path of axe, it just so happened that his senior brother gave him a set of top-quality treasured battle axes.

However, through thousands of years of cultivation, Qin Ming has also gained profound insights into axe techniques.

"No need to be polite, let me see your axe skills! Attack me with all your might, and I will suppress my power to the same level as yours."

The founder of the giant axe was very decisive.

Qin Ming is too important to the human race. Since it takes comprehending the ultimate secret technique to break the shackles of the original core, he will naturally lend a hand.

"it is good!"

Qin Ming didn't hold back. His body trembled and suddenly swelled, transforming into a six-armed giant about ten thousand miles tall, made entirely of black crystals.

Six blood-red battle axes appeared, the black hole domain suddenly expanded, distorting the surrounding space, and then directly attacked the creator of the giant axe.

His most proficient axe-wielding clone is the Mountain Giant, so naturally the Mountain Giant will be the one to make the move.

Rumble!
Spatial vortexes appeared simultaneously on the arms of the six-armed crystal giant, slashing towards the Giant Axe Founder with unstoppable force.

Seeing Qin Ming's terrifying power, the Giant Axe Founder grinned, his body also transforming into a ten-thousand-mile-long form. He swung his battle axe repeatedly, easily blocking Qin Ming's attacks.

"Open the sky!"

After his attacks proved ineffective, Qin Ming roared and unleashed six blood-red battle axes, like divine axes that could split the heavens, as they slashed fiercely at the giant axe. The six battle axes merged into one, unleashing a jet-black axe beam.

The pitch-black axe blade, seemingly imbued with the power of heaven and earth, crashed down with a thunderous roar.

"Not bad!"

The founder of the giant axe's eyes lit up, and he swung his axe in return, colliding with Qin Ming's attack.

In an instant, the pitch-black axe light that Qin Ming had unleashed was forcibly torn apart, and a sharp axe light struck his six-armed crystal body, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

"You have a good foundation! You are following the path of 'Black Hole Evolution,' and this secret technique is indeed very compatible with your Mountain Giant clone."

Under normal circumstances, your axe technique is only considered average among top-tier secret techniques.

However, when combined with innate secret techniques, its power is no weaker than that of ordinary ultimate secret techniques.

However, your understanding of black holes is still insufficient; you cannot incorporate the essence of black holes into every move you make.

The founder of the Giant Axe had such keen insight that he saw through Qin Ming's true nature at a glance.

"Please enlighten me, founder of the Giant Axe!"

Qin Ming said respectfully.

"Since your clone is following the black hole route, then continue down this path. When you cultivate to an extremely high level, you will be very powerful even among the Lords of the Universe."

Black holes are 'ultra-high density' celestial bodies formed by the continuous condensation of countless collapsed substances.

Your first task is to continue compressing your body.

Then, by leveraging the gravity brought about by the black hole's supermassive mass, one can manipulate space and time, perfectly unleashing this power..."

Before the founder of the giant axe had finished speaking, he casually raised his right hand, made a fist in the shape of an axe, and slashed through the air.

There was no earth-shattering energy eruption, only a gentle golden light streaking across the void. Wherever it passed, the countless stars changed their trajectories and slowly descended along the arc formed by the golden light.

Finally, it coalesced into a dark sphere, radiating an astonishing, devouring, and twisting energy.

Qin Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly sensed that the giant axe founder's strike contained the ultimate spatial laws; it seemed effortless, yet it precisely controlled energy down to every single particle.

Compared to his earlier deliberate pursuit of the black hole's devouring and distorting power, the difference was immediately apparent.

"Okay."

The founder of the giant axe slowly raised his right hand, and the phantom of the bronze giant axe rose up.

In an instant, the power of the laws of the cosmic secret realm fluctuated violently, and billions of star fragments lit up at the same time, transforming into golden axe shadows.

Qin Ming stared intently at every movement and every fluctuation of law of the Giant Axe Founder, each one clearly imprinted deep within his soul.

The Soul River clone began frantically deducing, attempting to absorb the mysteries revealed by the giant axe.

"I see……"

Qin Ming muttered to himself, his internal energy involuntarily circulating according to his new insights, and then unleashing a series of axe strikes.

"Ok?"

The founder of the giant axe showed obvious surprise.

He could clearly sense that with each swing of his axe, Qin Ming's axe technique began to improve in its alignment with the laws of space.

The originally rigid energy conversion became smooth and harmonious.

Even Giant Axe was somewhat surprised by this speed of progress.

He had seen many geniuses, but someone with Qin Ming's comprehension and talent stirred something within him.

From initial awkward attempts to eventual mastery and understanding.

In just a few days, Qin Ming had completely digested and absorbed his guidance, and even incorporated it into his own innovations.

……

A hundred years later.

"In terms of pure axe techniques, I've taught you everything I can. If you want to improve your skills further and comprehend even stronger secret techniques, then you'll have to figure it out for yourself."

"Since you're involved with black holes, you must have observed some black holes in the universe, right?"

The founder of the giant axe looked at Qin Ming.

Over the course of a century, aside from axe techniques, he didn't teach Qin Ming much else.

Qin Ming was not his disciple after all, and he did not follow the path of the soul. Therefore, his understanding of the soul was no stronger than that of the Lord of Darkness.

But over the past century, he has personally witnessed just how amazing Qin Ming's talent is.

Calling him a genius is not enough to describe it.

It's a monster!

He even felt that Qin Ming's axe skills were no less than his own when he was young.

In just a century, he had run out of things to teach.

"some!"

Qin Ming said respectfully.

How could someone practicing the secret method of "Black Hole Evolution" not observe real black holes in the universe?

While others were in the Netherworld and did not travel, the members of the Soul Clan were traveling through many human universes, secretly observing everything.

read more, walk more.

Luo Feng understood this principle, and Qin Ming understood it as well.

With the characteristics of the Myriad Soul Banner, a wisp of his consciousness could possess these walking members of the Soul Clan, seeing what they saw and thinking what they thought.

With the talent to be able to distract millions of souls, he observed the myriad aspects of human life and the vast starry river while in seclusion for cultivation.

He would naturally send members of the Soul Clan to observe black holes, as they are special celestial bodies.

Black holes have a very special shape, existing between the 'primordial universe' and 'space turbulence'. Their extremely high density, mass, and gravity mean that even space turbulence cannot disturb them.

Even in ordinary black holes, if an immortal being were to venture into one, the only outcome would be their demise.

However, the Soul Palace is not lacking in powerful individuals.

Especially in the past three thousand years of war, the 72 generals of the Soul Hall have long been replaced by invincible kings, including many invincible kings among the 3000 elites.

These people are naturally not afraid of ordinary black holes.

And it is precisely because of what the Soul Clan has seen and heard while traveling through the universe and even within the territories of many other races that they have come to know.

This allowed Qin Ming to gain a deeper understanding of the laws.

"That's good! But I think you've never seen the most powerful black hole in the primordial universe. I'll take you to see it; I think it will be helpful."

Giant Axe smiled as he looked at Qin Ming.

"Thank you, founder of the Giant Axe!"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up; he naturally knew what the founder of the giant axe was talking about.

Toya Black Hole!

It is the most powerful black hole in the entire primordial universe. The black hole's powerful tearing and twisting force even ripped apart the cosmic membrane.

Entering a black hole allows one to leave the primordial universe directly and enter the cosmic ocean.

However, the powerful devouring and twisting force of the Toya Black Hole would instantly turn even a cosmic venerable into ashes.

Qin Ming naturally wanted to go and observe as well.

But given his current condition, even the Lord of Darkness wouldn't dare to take him anywhere.

Only the giant axe!

They can disregard any threats.

After Qin Ming's mountain giant clone reunited with him in the Primal Secret Realm, it was carried by the giant axe in a teleportation, followed by a divine kingdom teleportation.

……

This is a remote place in the primordial universe, containing a massive black hole that has long since plunged the vast surrounding star field into darkness.

Two figures appeared in a flash; they were the founder of the giant axe and Qin Ming.

Having personally experienced the immense power of the Toya Black Hole, Qin Ming was startled, and his innate secret technique, Absolute Defense, naturally activated.

Even across an endless distance, the Toya Black Hole possesses such power that even ordinary invincible kings would perish.

"Come with me."

The Giant Axe Founder carried Qin Ming towards the depths of the Natoya Black Hole, with astonishing tearing forces constantly enveloping Qin Ming's entire body.

Even with top-tier treasures and absolute defense weakened a thousandfold, Qin Ming's mountain giant clone still felt considerable pressure.

“That is the true form of the Toya Black Hole,” the Giant Axe Founder pointed ahead.

Qin Ming glanced at it.

It was a sphere about three meters tall, entirely black.

The surface of the sphere has dark gold patterns, and countless patterns form a very strange design.

Upon seeing these strange and mysterious patterns, Qin Ming felt a tremor in his heart.

This sphere with dark gold patterns is the black hole itself, generating an endless and terrifying twisting and devouring force.

A power powerful enough to easily annihilate a cosmic sovereign!

Around it was a membrane wall of the entire primordial universe, which was torn open by this twisting force, creating a hole with a diameter of nearly 10,000 kilometers.

This is still naturally diffused.

If this power were to be controlled by humans, even the Lord of the Universe would be in serious trouble.

Seeing that Qin Ming's body was trembling slightly, the power of the Giant Axe Founder to control space and time naturally spread out, making Qin Ming feel the pressure disappear.

"Spending some time here should be helpful to you."
