Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 344 The Ultimate Treasure Set: Choosing the Lucky One
Initial universe, Chaos City.

Stepping into Chaos City once again, Qin Ming had many feelings. In the past, he had always gone there as a junior disciple or in a concealed identity, but this time was different.

Walking down the street, I greeted everyone I met with a bow.

The Venerables and Universe Overlords who were cultivating in Chaos City all looked over, their eyes filled with envy and awe.

The news that Qin Ming broke through two realms in one day and went directly from the Realm Lord level to the Universe Venerable had already spread far and wide.

Having a top-tier special life form like the Mountain Giant instantly propelled him to become the fourth top cosmic overlord among the human race, granting him the right to build a palace atop Thunder Mountain!

No one doubted Qin Ming's abilities.

Even as a Realm Lord, he could withstand a high-level Venerable's attack burning divine power. After continuous breakthroughs, Qin Ming's strength increased tens of thousands of times. It's unimaginable how terrifying his combat power would be.

"Greetings, Venerable One of Heavenly Calamity!"

Many guards and servants in the city lord's mansion naturally recognized Qin Ming.

They were well-informed and knew Qin Ming's strength, so they were all very respectful.

"Ah."

Qin Ming nodded slightly. The title he earned among the mountain giants in the extraterrestrial battlefield was Lord of Calamity. These people used this title and naturally called him Venerable of Calamity.

Qin Ming was not satisfied with this title.

His true strength lies in the soul, and he chose the mountain giant as his clone because the mountain giant is a type of rock life that possesses a soul.

The Mountain Giant is not only skilled in black hole domains and defense, but also in soul attacks!

However, Qin Ming used this as a hidden killing move.

This might be a good thing, as it allows people to overlook his true killer move, which could be used to outmaneuver someone at a crucial moment.

You can change the name to your liking later.

They walked into the city lord's mansion and headed towards one of the more secluded spots.

Among the human race, cosmic venerables, and even cosmic masters, who wish to contribute treasures to or exchange for treasures, do so in a side hall within Chaos City.

Qin Ming had been there several times before, so he knew the way very well.

When exchanging for treasures here, whether it's through contributions or exchanges, the value is checked and determined by the virtual universe system.

The judgment made by the virtual universe system is absolutely fair, because it is a perfectly executed intelligent system, and there is no need to worry about personal emotions or self-interest being involved.

All the strong were convinced.

Because he had applied in advance, when Qin Ming arrived at the side hall...

"Boom~~~"

The ancient palace gates slowly opened, revealing a bronze gate over a hundred meters wide that was fully open.

Qin Ming stepped inside.

Boom! The palace doors closed again.

He came here to exchange for a treasure to arm himself. With a shout, a hazy, huge gray form suddenly appeared in the air above the side hall.

The form has four huge categories: Treasures, Valuable Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources.

The true essence of the entire human race is almost entirely contained in this form.

Qin Ming looked up at the huge gray form in mid-air.

“Treasures of the highest order,” Qin Ming said.

Wow!
The forms have changed, and a large number of complex treasures have appeared.

Qin Ming had actually seen these treasures in the virtual universe, so he skipped over the ordinary and high-level treasures and started looking at the top-level treasures.

With his wealth and power, ordinary or high-level treasures are no longer of much use.

After quickly flipping through the list and glancing at it, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh. 1.6 Treasure Points seemed like a lot, but it was simply not enough to collect a complete set of top-tier Treasures.

Indeed, a mere thousand Treasure Points can buy an ordinary top-tier Treasure weapon.

For example, the ultimate offensive treasures such as battle knives and longswords.

Ordinary top-tier armor is a bit more expensive, but can be obtained for 2000 Treasure Points.

However, if it is a domain-related treasure, that is, a top-tier domain-related treasure, even a slightly better one will cost 3000 treasure points.

Top-tier flying palace-type treasures and top-tier soul-type treasures are even more expensive.

This is still a top-tier treasure in the domain.

What if it were replaced with a peak palace type or a domain type?
That's an astronomical price.

What is a complete set of Ultimate Treasures?
According to Qin Ming's idea, there should be seven major items: a top-tier offensive treasure, an armor treasure, a mental power treasure, a domain treasure, flying wings, a palace treasure, and a soul treasure!
Only when all the pieces are collected can it be called a set.

"I thought we were rich, but I didn't expect it still wouldn't be enough."

Qin Ming looked at several of the top-tier domain and palace-type treasures with some regret.

Soul-type treasures include Star Souls bestowed by the Founder of the Great Axe.

But what about the others?

too expensive!
Although I can barely afford one, it's not worth it.

He wanted more than just a powerful treasure; he needed to arm his four avatars, even though the World Tree and the River of Souls were special cases and rarely participated in battles.

"The Mountain Giant is my main battle avatar, and I will prioritize equipping him with the ultimate treasures: the Battle Axe and the Armor!" In fact, Qin Ming had already selected the treasures he needed in the virtual universe, so he quickly checked off a few from the list.

Having followed the creator of the giant axe for a century, his understanding of axe techniques had already made a huge leap, so the mountain giant naturally continued to use an axe.

Boundary Breaking Ax!
This is a set of ultimate treasure battle axes, consisting of six in total.

The six battle axes are the Gold-Splitting Axe, the Withering and Flourishing Axe, the Sky-Burning Axe, the Vast Ocean Axe, the Earth-Splitting Axe, and finally the Sky-Splitting Axe!

These six battle axes are all different, each corresponding to one of the six laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space. When used together, they are even more powerful.

Its value is also considerable, amounting to 3400 Treasure Points.

It was far more valuable than ordinary attack-type peak treasures, but Qin Ming still bought it without hesitation.

With the Breaking Boundary Axe Peak Set, the Mountain Giant's destructive power will be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, comprehending its secret runes will greatly help improve the Mountain Giant's strength.

"And then there's the supreme armor treasure!"

Supreme treasure armor, ranging from ordinary supreme treasure, high-grade supreme treasure, top-grade supreme treasure, and peak supreme treasure, is generally weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original strength; the only difference is the limit of its resistance.

Only some of the most superior and rarest treasures among the pinnacle can be weakened to one ten-thousandth.

For example, the armor of the calamity.

The human race's treasure trove does not contain any top-tier armor of the "Chaos Armor" level.

The most expensive piece is called the Void Armor, which costs 5800 Treasure Points. It also has a special effect: it can form a special spatial defense field around the armor, which is extremely powerful.

But the price is too high.

He chose only a top-tier treasure armor called 'Xuanhuang Armor', worth 2000 treasure points.

"The Supreme Treasure Armor is weakened by 1 times, and the Mountain Giant's inherent absolute defense can be weakened by another thousand times. With both of these, the weakening is ten million times!"

Qin Ming stared intently at the dark yellow armor, thinking to himself.

Upon reaching the stage of the Lord of the Universe, the consideration of strength becomes extremely complex, but there are still general distinctions in their basic power. For example, a second-tier Lord of the Universe is roughly estimated to possess 1 trillion times the power of a World Lord.

A third-order universe master possesses 10 trillion times the power of a world master.

Even a powerful third-order universe lord, after being weakened ten million times by the power of a realm lord, would only have 100 million left out of 10 trillion.

It can't break through the defense at all!

Let alone a third-order cosmic master, even a fourth-order or fifth-order cosmic master would find it difficult to break through the defense.

In the primordial universe, it would have been virtually impossible for a mountain giant of such strength to kill it.

"Only by staying alive can you produce results! Those who want to kill me are no ordinary universe lords."

The Mountain Giant also needs a suitable domain-type treasure to further enhance its defensive capabilities, ideally in conjunction with the "Black Hole Evolution" secret technique.

Qin Ming felt somewhat helpless as he watched the precious points being spent like water.

These two top-tier treasures have already cost 5400 treasure points!
"For the domain category, just choose the top-tier treasures. The Star River Map is pretty good, worth 3000 treasure points. The cheapest top-tier domain category treasures cost 12000 treasure points, which is simply unaffordable."

The Star River Chart is the most suitable domain-specific treasure for him.

Once the domain is activated, the entire area within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles will transform into a vast galaxy, which can perfectly complement the domains of mountain giants and black holes to unleash even greater power.

It can also be combined with the World Tree's control over space and time, and its power will be exceptionally terrifying.

Then, Qin Ming looked at what the human being needed.

"The Mountain Giant specializes in melee combat and defense, the World Tree specializes in domain control, and the River of Souls can also use Star Souls and the Myriad Soul Banner for attacks. The human body will focus on ranged attacks, prioritizing a set of psychic treasures!"

"Soul-Destroying Cone!"

He had his eye on this treasure for a long time.

The Soul-Destroying Cone can split into nine Soul Cones, or they can be combined to unleash tremendous power.

As its name suggests, this is a rare psychic weapon imbued with the power of soul attacks, making it most suitable for Qin Ming, and worth 2400 Treasure Points.

"The human being should select a top-tier armor treasure. The Aurora Wing Armor is a good choice, as it combines flight wings and defensive capabilities, and it's not expensive, costing only 600 treasure points."

Qin Ming's gaze fell on one of the suits of armor with six pairs of light wings.

If he could, he would like to acquire another top-tier treasure armor to make his human form an omnipotent being, but the treasure points he has are no longer enough for him to squander.

He still needs one more flying palace-type treasure for the remaining treasure points!

The Sky-Piercing Boat is a top-tier flying palace-type treasure. It boasts strong defense and extremely high flight speed, and is worth 4000 treasure points.

The Boundary-Breaking Axe, the Xuanhuang Armor, the Soul-Destroying Cone, the Star River Map, the Aurora Instant Wing Armor, and the Sky-Escape Boat—three peak treasures and three top-tier treasures—directly wiped out 15400 treasure points!
Looking at the remaining 636 Treasure Points, Qin Ming sighed and spent another 200 Treasure Points to select a top-tier attack treasure, the 'Ten Thousand Pound Halberd', before stopping this big purchase.

Humanity does not possess the ultimate treasure, the battle halberd, so they have to make do with a top-tier treasure. In any case, since humanity is currently positioned as a ranged attacker, a top-tier treasure is sufficient.

Let's be frank, he has his eye on the Flame God Halberd in the hands of the Flame Emperor!

He even had some thoughts about the Yan Emperor himself.

The Myriad Soul Banner is still missing a Universe Lord to serve as its main soul for its advancement to the eighth rank. It remains to be seen whether it can recruit one in this great battle.

Although he didn't explicitly tell the Dark Lord, the Giant Axe, and the others.

However, his need for a powerful soul was no secret, and they would cooperate with him.

"Now, it all depends on which lucky person will be able to take up residence in the Myriad Souls Banner first."
