Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 359 The Mystic Rune System! Can Talented Mystic Techniques Advance?

Starry Sky Divine Mountain, inside the magnificent hall.

"Is this the Lord of the Underworld? He is indeed a genius. In just ten thousand years, his strength is no weaker than that of the Lord of the Universe."

I originally thought you were on the path of time and space, but I didn't expect you to be skilled in the way of the Beast God!

On the throne, the majestic, dragon-like Star Ancestor sat cross-legged, his gaze curiously scrutinizing Qin Ming.

A powerful aura naturally surged towards Qin Ming.

Sensing the will contained within that aura, Qin Ming smiled slightly, and his will, which had reached the level of the strongest being in the universe, surged out and collided with the Star Ancestor.

A golden and void aura emanated from his body.

"I only know a little bit about it. I heard that the Starry Sky Beast Alliance is most skilled in the Way of the Beast God, so I asked my senior uncle for help, hoping to enter the Beast God Realm to gain some enlightenment."

Raising the wine in front of him, Qin Ming smiled and looked at the Star Ancestor.

Upon sensing Qin Ming's will, the Starry Sky Ancestor's expression changed.

The will of the strongest being in the universe!

What that illusory demon god said was actually true!
He immediately abandoned the idea he had been hiding.

It is impossible to successfully enslave the will of the strongest being in the universe, because the other party will inevitably be carrying a soul treasure.

"The Law of the Fusion of Gold and Void? This understanding of the law is no weaker than that of an ordinary Venerable! If I were to study it further in my Beast God Realm, I would surely be able to advance to another level!"

The Starry Sky Ancestor looked at the golden aura of the law of the sky emanating from Qin Ming and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

There was no longer any doubt in his expression.

The aura of laws cannot be faked!

Qin Ming may genuinely just want to follow the path of the Beast God, or perhaps the two paths serve as a reference point.

After ceasing his scheming, the Star Ancestor casually chatted with Qin Ming and the Lord of Chaos City, building relationships with them.

The best way to deal with a genius with potential comparable to the Primordial Ancestor, who is impossible to kill or restrict, is to become friends with him and join the same camp!

The Golden Horned Lord, standing to the side, burst into loud laughter.

He's on the path of gold and emptiness!

Using this as an excuse, I started chatting with Qin Ming.

To his surprise, Qin Ming's understanding of the laws of metal, void, and fusion was unexpectedly high.

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly intense.

Qin Ming didn't mind the changes he sensed from the Star Ancestor, the Golden Horn Lord, and others; it was something he had expected.

Hit a punch, lest a hundred punches come!

Why did Qin Ming insist on participating in the war between the human race and the insectoid, demon, and mechanical races, even though he knew his strength was still weak among the universe's masters?

We're here to show our strength!
This kind of disclosure is not only directed outwards, but also inwards.

Only by demonstrating sufficient strength can one avoid a lot of trouble.

If he doesn't demonstrate sufficient strength, even if a surprise attack fails, the three-race alliance will still keep an eye on him.

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?

If he were to return to Earth to cultivate and be ambushed, facing the aftershocks of the universe's strongest being's power, Earth would be completely annihilated!

It's perfect right now!
Unless Qin Ming can be killed completely, no one dares to make a move lightly.

The revenge of a ruler who possesses multiple universes is terrifying.

As the Chaos City Lord watched Qin Ming mingling with the many universe lords of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

How could he not see what the Star Ancestor was thinking?

As the de facto ruler of the tribe, he had seen too many similar things.

……

"Lord of the Underworld, come with me."

The Golden Horned Lord transformed into a streak of light, and Qin Ming followed closely behind him. After flying for more than ten minutes, they arrived outside a huge palace.

At the entrance of this palace, four colossal star beasts exuding the aura of venerable beings stood guard.

"Greetings to the Lord of Golden Horn, the Lord of the Underworld, and the Lord of Chaos City."

The guard spoke respectfully, clearly having been notified in advance.

Upon entering the main hall, a massive spatial vortex comes into view.

"Through the spatial vortex, you can directly reach the Beast God Realm. You can stay in the Beast God Realm for 100,000 epochs, which is equivalent to 100,000 years in the primordial universe."

For the next 10 years, no one will disturb you; you can peacefully comprehend the Way of the Beast God.

The Lord of the Golden Horn turned to look at Qin Ming.

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Ming cupped his hands in greeting and, without further ado, transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the vortex.

The moment Qin Ming stepped into the spatial vortex, he could clearly feel the ever-changing flow of time, as if he were passing through a cosmic passage to the primordial universe.

They are essentially the same.

One is entering the Primordial Universe, while the Beast God Realm is entering the Starry Sky Ancestor's Universe. They entered the Universe located in the Cosmic Sea through this teleportation channel.

A moment later, everything around me became clear.

Qin Ming hovered in the sky, looking down at everything below.

Looking down, one sees a vast forest. The trees and flowers here are tall and majestic, with some ancient trees reaching over a hundred kilometers in height.

With Qin Ming's vision, he could easily see the plains beyond the forest, and the enormous statues in both the forest and the plains.

The towering statues were the statues of the eight innate beast gods that Qin Ming had long coveted.

There are a total of 64 naturally formed animal god statues, some roaring to the sky, some playing around, and some lying quietly...

The statues of natural beast gods in various styles exude an aura of power, as if they were real beast gods reborn.

"Time flows very fast, at a ratio of 1:10081 to the original universe."

A smile appeared on Qin Ming's lips.

10 epochs!
He has only cultivated for a mere ten thousand years. If he still cannot master the Secret Pattern School in such a long time, then there's nothing more to say. His Soul River Avatar is most adept at deduction and analysis!
This time, he came in his human form.

But everything seen through the eyes of the human being is also seen by the River of Souls.

In addition, the World Tree's deduction and calculation abilities are also very powerful, and the Mountain Giant's clone has a terrifying talent for the laws of earth and space.

Qin Ming's idea regarding the 64 secret rune diagrams was not simply to 'memorize' them, like Luo Feng in the original timeline, and to create secret techniques by taking a chance.

What he wants is complete control!
In Qin Ming's view, the function of these 64 secret pattern diagrams is like the code in the hands of a programmer; if one can master their basic capabilities...

It is possible to program all the secret techniques.

If one is familiar enough with the 64 secret runes, one might be able to thoroughly understand and master the operating rules of the primordial universe.

Of course, theory is always just theory.

But this path is not wrong.

Without wasting too much time, Qin Ming rushed directly to the nearest beast god statue.

As for the many secret techniques in the Beast God Realm?

Actually, it wasn't very appealing to him.

Even though it was the ultimate secret technique created by the Lord of the Universe, it was far less attractive to him than the Beast God Statue.

The treasure trove of the human race in the virtual universe is full of secret techniques, many of which Qin Ming has studied. Moreover, most of these secret techniques were created based on the giant beasts of the starry sky.

Many secret techniques are simply unusable by humans.

It's just a reference at most.

"First, take a quick look at all the beast god statues, and then study them in depth."

Having made up his mind, Qin Ming landed in front of a majestic golden beast god statue.

The statue, resembling a giant unicorn lizard, has a robust golden body with its mouth wide open and a single horn piercing the sky. The entire statue is covered with intricate patterns on its scales.

Qin Ming looked at each of the beast god statues one by one. Each statue was in a different state, some were angry, some were serene, some were happy, and some were insane...

The patterns on the scales of the Golden Beast God vary depending on the state.

There are eight naturally born beast gods, each with eight statues.

A total of sixty-four.

After looking at all the Beast God statues, Qin Ming returned to the first one, sat cross-legged, and began to carefully examine the extremely intricate patterns on the Beast God statue.

The River of Souls within the Netherworld God Kingdom was stirred into waves.

The River of Souls, spanning billions of kilometers, possessed a terrifyingly high level of computational power, and at this moment, it mobilized all its strength completely.

Qin Ming extracted every minute detail from the beast god statue and used it to create a secret pattern.

After all the patterns on the entire body of the Golden Beast God were recorded, an extremely complex secret pattern diagram appeared in the memory of the River of Souls.

Qin Ming did not rush to analyze the secret pattern diagram.

Instead, they moved on to the next rune map and repeated the previous steps.

It took a thousand years.

Qin Ming had completely recorded the secret patterns in the 64 Beast God statues, and then his Soul River clone in the Netherworld God Kingdom suddenly ignited with divine power.

Boom——

"Innate Secret Technique - Soul Domain!"

Endless laws and secret patterns intertwined and connected in the void, transforming into an extremely profound secret pattern diagram. In the past, this secret pattern diagram was completely incomprehensible, but now, in Qin Ming's eyes, it finally had a traceable pattern.

The innate secret technique Soul Domain can be broken down into 64 secret rune diagrams.

It is the complex coupling of these 64 secret patterns.

However, that's not all!

"Control of time and space!"

The World Tree clone also swayed slightly, its innate ability to control the power of space and time also revealing extremely profound and complex secret patterns.

The Lord of the Universe can control space and time.

However, this ability to control space and time is not actually theirs, but was bestowed upon them by the primordial universe.

It's like a kind of permission.

Access within the original universe.

The World Tree has different incarnations.

It's a talent.

Since it is a talent, it will naturally have rune diagrams. The talent technique of controlling space and time is also a very high-level talent, and it is naturally composed of these 64 rune diagrams!
"really!"

Qin Ming smiled as he looked at the secret patterns of his innate soul domain and control over space and time.

He had studied the secret patterns of the talent for controlling space and time many times in the past, but these secret patterns, which were composed of billions of intersecting and intersecting law threads, were simply too complicated.

It is impossible to disassemble and analyze it based on the sacrificial runes.

They can't even get to the basics.

However, when combined with the runes on the 64 Beast God statues, the secrets of the runes that control the talent of time and space were finally partially revealed to him.

"The Mountain Giant and the River of Souls are equally powerful talents, and are most likely also composed of 64 rune patterns."

Qin Ming was filled with joy.

His clones are all top-tier special life forms, and their talents are all incredibly powerful.

By comparing different talent rune diagrams, his progress in understanding them far surpasses that of simply viewing one type of talent rune diagram. Furthermore, he had previously studied sacrificial runes.

Compared to the sacrificial runes, the rune pattern school represented by the 64 runes is more like an advanced system.

"Interesting! Is this the underlying logic of the talent secret technique?"

If one fully masters it, can their talent be further enhanced?

My Mountain Giant talent can reduce absolute defense by a thousandfold.

Can it evolve to be weakened by ten thousand times?
