Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 353 A Venerable One Ventures into the Cosmic Sea? Not even a dog would go!
The cosmic rulers of the human race are very united on matters of principle, but that does not mean they do not have their own interests.

As the leader of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City needed to maintain a balance among them, and this outcome was a win-win situation for everyone.

No one else had any objections to Qin Ming monopolizing one of the souls of the two universe masters.

After all, this was something that Qin Ming was meant to do.

"Let's try out the effects of the soul essence extracted by the Lord of the Universe. If the effects are amazing, then there's no need to keep the Lord of the Coffin."

The Lord of Chaos City had a slight smile on his face.

The Lord of the Coffin Insects was also a third-order universe lord. After being suppressed by the Ice Mountain Palace, his life and death were in the hands of humans.

This gives human groups a lot more room to maneuver.

In order to exchange the Lord of the Coffin for him, the Dream Demon Ancestor had secretly made contact, wanting to exchange him for two supreme treasures. The Chaos City Lord neither agreed nor refused.

The demon race has a total of eighteen royal families.

These eighteen royal families were not randomly arranged; each of them had a ruler of the universe!
However, with the fall of the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of the Netherworld, and the suppression of the Lord of the Coffin Worm, the demon race has become turbulent, and the eighteen royal families may soon become fifteen.

If handled well, the demon race will be thrown into chaos for a while.

The Lord of Chaos City would certainly not give in easily.

"it is good!"

Qin Ming didn't waste any time. With a thought, the soul of the Netherworld Demon Lord in the Netherworld Divine Kingdom shattered and, under the control of a strange power, condensed directly into 100 Soul Origin Crystals.

Compared to the Lord of the Netherworld, the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf is stronger, so Qin Ming will naturally make a choice.

brush!
Amidst the spatial fluctuations, 100 Soul Origin Crystals appeared in Qin Ming's hand and flew to the Giant Axe Founder's hand under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Please let the founder of the giant axe distribute these crystallized soul essences."

The founder of the giant axe didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the soul crystals, he distributed them directly according to the contributions made in the battle.

Nineteen cosmic lords, and one strongest being in the universe.

On average, each person can get 5.

However, the giant axe obviously wouldn't divide them equally; there were anywhere from three to six or seven pieces, and the distribution was completed very quickly.

To Qin Ming's surprise, he also received 3.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

"Qin Ming's ability to refine souls is a top secret of our human race! It must not be revealed to anyone, otherwise our human race will become the target of everyone's criticism!"

After distributing the soul crystals, the Giant Axe Founder looked at everyone.

"rest assured!"

"We understand!"

"..."

All the lords of the universe laughed.

Apart from Qin Ming, everyone present was an old guy who had lived for billions of years, so how could they not understand the meaning of the giant axe?

Although the Soul Clan had already been exposed in the extraterritorial battlefield.

But that is only the level of immortality. Although many races in the universe are wary of it, they can still bear it.

If it were the ruler of the universe, the situation would be completely different.

"Hmm? It really can strengthen the soul! I feel like my thinking speed has increased a lot."

Amidst laughter and conversation, Lord Youhou put a soul essence into his mouth on the spot, and felt the vigorous soul power spreading through his body, which made his eyes light up.

For the Lord of the Universe, even a slight increase in strength is crucial.

Moreover, it is the strengthening of the very essence of the soul.

Seeing that Lord Youhou had taken it, many other universe lords immediately followed suit. This thing didn't require any special method; it could simply be swallowed directly.

Soon, the eyes of each of the universe lords lit up.

This effect is indeed much more powerful than many top-tier soul treasures.

And this is only one percent of it!

"If any of you happen to kill a Lord of the Universe or a Venerable One of the Universe in the future, please remember to notify me in time. We cannot waste it like we have in the past."

Qin Ming put away the three soul crystals with a backhand and smiled.

How could he, alone, compare to the universe's ruler of the entire human race, and the mighty Giant Axe?

If the giant axe were to unleash its full power, it could still kill some weaker universe lords in the cosmic sea.

“That’s natural! Three million epochs ago, Peng Gong and I killed a alien universe lord.”

Feeling the warm current flowing through his body, the Lord of Dragons couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a bit troublesome. It is too difficult to kill the Lord of the Universe in the Primal Universe. Only by entering the Sea of ​​Universe will we have a chance."

The Lord of Qingdong also shook his head slightly.

It's not difficult to plot and kill a group of Universe Venerables in the primordial universe, but it's extremely difficult to kill a Universe Lord.

This time, all the human race's universe masters were present, and they caught the enemy off guard, managing to kill two and suppress one.

If the enemy knew in advance, it would be difficult to kill both of them.

"Hehe, Qin Ming, your strength has already reached the third-tier Universe Lord level. You can also consider going to the Universe Sea to explore."

That way, we can hunt together.

Lord Youhou laughed.

He ventured into the cosmic sea when he was at the third level and gained quite a lot.

Immediately, many people looked at Qin Ming, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"The Cosmic Sea? I just broke through, so I don't have that idea yet. I'll settle down for a while first."

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.

He's got nothing better to do than go to the cosmic sea now; who knows how many people are eyeing him.

In the primordial universe, he was able to guarantee his absolute safety.

However, once inside the Cosmic Sea, his strength was no longer sufficient. Even with the Myriad Soul Banner advancing to the eighth rank and the blessing of the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, he was still somewhat lacking.

Unlike others who cannot improve their strength and can only go on adventures, he is different.

He is currently at the peak of his power enhancement. He has so much to do: comprehend the laws of time, deduce secret techniques, explore the Netherworld, deduce divine power, study the secret pattern school, and even break through the gene-enhancing method with the War God potion.

It would be better to calm down and cultivate, and wait until your strength breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe before going to the Sea of ​​Universe and becoming invincible!
According to the plan of the many cosmic lords of mankind.

If it weren't for the sudden attack by the Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Demon Race, the harvest of alien universe lords would have begun soon, and my strength would have increased again!
What cosmic sea did the Cosmic Venerable go to?

No dogs go!

It's not that Qin Ming is bragging, but with his talent and strength, becoming the master of the universe wouldn't take him too long.

Once he becomes the Lord of the Universe, even the weakest among them will possess the strength of a fifth-order Lord of the Universe, and it is not impossible for him to reach the sixth order or even stronger.

If the Netherworld is completed and the fishing plan succeeds, it might be able to kill one of the strongest beings in the universe, who would be at the seventh or eighth tier of combat power.

Why take the risk now?
If you encounter a being of the level of a True Demon God in the cosmic sea, the chances of dying are slim, but you might lose your set of supreme treasures.

"With Qin Ming's talent, there's no need for him to go to the Cosmic Sea now. He might break through to the Cosmic Lord level in a few thousand years. It's not too late to consider it then."

The Lord of Darkness also spoke.

He was acutely aware of his disciple's improved strength.

"Well, there's no rush."

The giant axe looked at Qin Ming. He had been training with Qin Ming for over a hundred years, and Qin Ming's almost terrifying learning ability amazed him.

He was astonished by the progress in his axe skills.

"Black Hole Evolution" is only a secret technique at the Venerable level. After Qin Ming broke through, this secret technique was no longer sufficient.

Is a black hole hidden in every gesture?

His power is considered strong among the cosmic beings, but it seems insignificant when placed at the level of the cosmic lord.

Qin Ming, however, found a way to improve it through contemplation.

There's absolutely no need for someone with such talent to rush into risky, life-or-death battles.

Once you reach your skill ceiling, there will be plenty of time.

"Haha, that's true! Junior Brother Qin Ming's talent is just too terrifying."

The demon race, the insect race, and the machine race suffered a setback in their attack on humanity, and they may have other ideas. We also need to stay in the primordial universe for a while to reflect.

Perhaps by the time we return to the Cosmic Sea, Junior Brother Qin Ming will have already broken through.

"Let's not talk about that now, come on! Let's drink!"

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since the human race and the Lords of the universe have gathered together like this."

"..."

……

The cosmic rulers of the human race gathered for a full three months before parting ways, concluding this banquet.

After all the lords of the universes dispersed, the Lord of Chaos City kept Qin Ming behind, along with the Lord of Qianwu.

The highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

A large, ancient, bluish-gray round table is surrounded by endless air currents, and seven chairs appear in the center of the table, each with intricate carvings.

For example, Qin Ming's weapon depicts his crafting of the Spirit Nourishing Potion and the Dawn Potion, as well as the creation of the Perfect Codex. As for the Lord of the Qianwu, it shows scenes of countless battles throughout the long years.

After the Lord of Qianwu broke through to become the Lord of the Universe, he naturally became the core of the Virtual Universe Company.

The Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Dragon Journey, the Lord of Youhou, and the Lord of Qianwu—Qin Ming appeared one by one in his place.

"In just a few hundred years, my Virtual Universe Company has produced two more Universe Lords."

The Lord of Chaos City glanced around and said, "This is also our first internal gathering."

Immediately, everyone present looked over to listen to the Chaos City Lord speak.

"The birth of two Universe Lords is a blessing for my virtual universe and for humanity as a whole," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

"I won't go into detail about Qin Ming's strength. When it comes to survival, he's among the top of the group."

His soul river avatar should already exceed 10 billion kilometers.

Of course, there's also the World Tree's clone.

Immediately, many envious glances were directed at Qin Ming.

Although they already knew that Qin Ming had two clones besides the Mountain Giant, they still couldn't help but marvel when the Chaos City Lord said it.

A divine body spanning billions of kilometers!

It's still about the soul and life!

This means that Qin Ming is not only like the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, unafraid of losing his divine body, but also possesses terrifying soul attacks, extremely high mental processing, comprehension, and so on.

"Qin Ming, have you thought about your title of Lord of the Universe?"

The Lord of Darkness smiled slightly. He had helped Qin Ming find the Soul River clone and the World Tree clone, so he naturally knew them well.

“You should have your own title now. You used the identity of King Yuanyue before to impersonate someone, and you also have the title of Lord of Natural Disasters. You can continue to use them, or you can change them according to your own ideas.”

The Lord of Chaos City also spoke up.

His original title wasn't Lord of Chaos City. Rather, he was entrusted by his teacher, the 'Primordial Ancestor,' to oversee Chaos City. To ensure he never forgot his teacher's instructions, he changed his title to 'Lord of Chaos City.'

"Lord of the Underworld!"

Qin Ming nodded and said that he had already thought about it.

Some powerful individuals use the weapons they are skilled in to give themselves titles.

Some are commemorating their hometown, or a deep-seated obsession.

"Qianwu, what about you?"

The Lord of Chaos then looked at the Lord of Qianwu beside him.

Titles are generally not something anyone interferes with, although it's unclear why Qin Ming is called the Lord of the Underworld. But it's something Qin Ming likes.

"I won't change it. The Lord of the Qianwu is fine too."

The Lord of Qianwu laughed, saying that he had been ruling the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for countless epochs, and finally met Qin Ming, who allowed him to defy fate and change his destiny, but he had no intention of doing so.

“Alright, then your titles are all set.” The Chaos City Lord suddenly stood up. “Let’s go see the founder of my Virtual Universe lineage.”
