Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 364 The Mountain Dweller's Troubles, Deduction Progress Surges

Within the virtual universe.

"I've met the teacher!"

"Meet the Master."

The voices of the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, the Ice Peak Lord, and other veteran powerhouses who had been famous for countless epochs trembled.

The others also spoke up, all of them excited, even the newly promoted Lord of the Universe, the Lord of Qianwu.

Simply revealing its form caused such a commotion.

This is also why the original ancestor is usually reluctant to show himself.

He was extremely respected among the human race!

Fortunately, before the great battle, the Lord of Chaos City had revealed information about the Primordial Ancestor to everyone present, so everyone knew that the Primordial Ancestor was still alive and felt reassured.

Otherwise, the situation will only become more chaotic.

"All right."

Yuan Zu looked at the group of people gently, then turned his gaze to Qin Ming and smiled.

"You don't need to do that."

I am suppressed and cannot leave. I can only appear in the virtual universe; your cultivation still depends on yourselves.

My appearance is merely to aid you in your study; this is my supplement to the "Secret Pattern Record".

You can take a look.

As he spoke, the Primordial Ancestor waved his hand, and a brand new "Secret Rune Catalog" appeared before everyone.

Let's contemplate together?
A look of wild joy appeared in everyone's eyes, and even Qin Ming was somewhat shocked.

They knew that the original ancestor had been suppressed.

In the original timeline, the progenitor was unwilling to show himself.

Even when the Duan Donghe lineage was born, he only observed it silently in the dark.

The fact that he is now willing to reappear in front of everyone is undoubtedly great news for him.

The progenitor was proficient in all ten laws.

He was also a master of weapon crafting and a master of the soul.

With his involvement, the progress of the "Secret Pattern Record" deduction will surely be greatly accelerated.

When Qin Ming opened the "Secret Pattern Catalogue" that the original ancestor had completed, he couldn't help but feel even more delighted.

Because it was a collaborative effort by all the lords of the universe and the founder of the giant axe, everyone has studied and uploaded the 64 secret rune diagrams.

However, most of them were severely damaged, and only some parts were repaired.

Furthermore, some of these proposals remain controversial and have been temporarily shelved.

However, the one that the original ancestor took out at this moment was obviously much more complete, and even the 16 secret pattern diagrams represented by the Earth Void and Metal Void Beast Gods that Qin Mingta himself comprehended had a lot more content.

Qin Ming had said this when he took out the "Secret Pattern Record".

This secret method is in its initial stage, and there will inevitably be omissions or even errors in it. It requires all the lords of the universe to study and supplement it together.

With the addition of the original ancestor, things turned out exactly as he had said.

Looking at the parts that the original ancestor had completed and modified, Qin Ming felt enlightened.

The river of souls within the giant axe's microcosm, accelerated ten thousand times, roared wildly, deducing with its multifaceted talent.

Although Qin Ming believed in the original ancestor, he did not blindly believe in him.

Only after you have verified and confirmed that something is correct will you incorporate it into your knowledge system.

"I see! There are actually multiple ways to combine these secret patterns."

Qin Ming looked at the combination of the earth and metal void patterns and couldn't help but admire it. Golden light appeared on his body.

After several revisions, the power of the Absolute Defense talent increased by 2000 times!
Qin Ming then unleashed a series of secret techniques.

boom!
A crimson beam of light shot out from his hand, completely tearing apart the space spanning billions of miles in front of him.

"How could such astonishing power be achieved with such a small amount of divine power?"

Qin Ming felt a mixture of surprise and delight.

The strongest secret technique he created before only reached the peak level of the Universe Lord's secret technique, but this move has definitely reached the level of the ultimate secret technique of the Universe Lord.

Ultimate secret techniques and peak secret techniques are two different concepts.

Using less divine power, yet the power is dozens of times greater!
Qin Ming was pleasantly surprised, as were the others.

Not far away, the Lord of Qianwu had a hint of joy on his face. Among the many Lords of the Universe, his foundation and talent were probably the worst.

However, the biggest gains were also made from this exchange.

Being able to share his findings without reservation with the universe's sovereigns of the entire human race was of immense help to a newly ascended universe sovereign like him.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

After reading the completed secret pattern catalog, Qin Ming bowed respectfully, filled with admiration.

He uploaded this pattern image.

The time it took the original ancestor to comprehend the secret patterns was the same as his, or even shorter, but the secret patterns he analyzed were much more comprehensive.

This is the difference!
However, Qin Ming felt no disappointment; on the contrary, he was overjoyed. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
What realm was the Primordial Ancestor at? What realm was he at?
If someone's progress in deduction and comprehension is slower than his when they control the virtual universe, then that would be a joke.

"No need for formalities, you are quite good. With this secret pattern record, our human race has gained another layer of foundation."

The strength of others will inevitably reach a new level.

The emerging strong will all benefit.

Yuan Zu smiled as he looked at Qin Ming. According to seniority, Qin Ming was his grand-disciple.

He was naturally delighted to see such amazing talent among the younger generation.

"Alright, I also have many questions about this secret pattern diagram."

This is a system completely different from our current cultivation methods, and we need to study and comprehend it together.

After saying this, the ancestor sat cross-legged among the crowd and began to fully deduce the truth.

The lords of the universes were clearly a little nervous and uneasy, and the atmosphere was not as enthusiastic as before. It was more like they were asking the progenitor for advice.

This left the original ancestor feeling somewhat helpless.

He is human too.

Faced with a completely new system, because of their higher level and strength, their deduction progress is faster than others, but it is still impossible for them to master it directly.

Fortunately, Qin Ming is different.

Although at first I was a little reserved because of my identity.

However, once immersed in his cultivation, Qin Ming disregarded the identity of the original ancestor and questioned everything that needed to be questioned.

Under Qin Ming's encouragement, the group became bolder.

In an instant, all the cosmic lords in the entire space became even more fanatical.

Even the Primordial Ancestor highly praised this Secret Pattern School, which shows that it is a path to heaven!

How could they not be overjoyed?
The progress of deducing the 64 Secret Patterns has begun to skyrocket!
Qin Ming was completely immersed in the thrill of this surge in power and continued to deduce the diagrams of the Beast Gods such as Wood Void and Fire Void.

Compared to the three great beast gods of the time system, his understanding of the laws of space is significantly higher.

It's also faster.

He's not in a hurry right now.

The human race's treasure trove contains numerous remains of special life forms that emanate from wind, thunder, and light, as well as living special life forms.

These are all excellent research materials.

At this time, the numerous cosmic lords will not deliberately hide anything; they will share whatever they have.

The atmosphere had reached a point where everyone was in a frenzy.

Although Qin Ming has not yet begun to fully comprehend the three great beast god diagrams of the time system, they are already quite complete thanks to the comprehension and supplementation by everyone.

Once he has fully comprehended all the mysterious patterns of the three great beasts representing the laws of time, his control over the laws of time will surely reach a complete level.

The normal cultivation system and the secret rune system complement each other.

Comprehending the secret rune diagrams also requires an extremely high level of understanding of the laws.

There has been a breakthrough in the secret rune diagram. Therefore, breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and establishing a self-contained spacetime is a natural consequence.

When the "Secret Pattern Record" is truly completed, that will be the time for Qin Ming to begin creating secret techniques!
It wasn't just guessing or taking a chance.

Instead, they create secret techniques by arranging and combining known secret patterns according to their principles and methods.

His current goal is no longer the ultimate secret technique.

It is the most powerful fusion technique!
In this way, when he breaks through to become the Lord of the Universe, he will be able to directly leap to the top of the fifth rank, or even stronger!
As the mountain giant's avatar finished deducing the Earth Void and Gold Void Beast Gods and modified the secret runes on their divine bodies, the gene multiplier of the avatar began to slowly increase.

Start by boosting your genes ten thousandfold!
Over tens of millions of years, it has increased to 10072 times.

It's just one step away from achieving final perfection.

Once perfection is achieved, the size of the mountain giant will inevitably increase dramatically again, reaching tens of millions of kilometers, which is normal.

A mountain giant that can move normally, with a size of tens of millions of kilometers, and weakened by thousands of times by its absolute defensive talent, can roam freely not only in the primordial universe, but also in the cosmic ocean!
In addition, there are the World Tree and the River of Souls clone.

His World Tree clone is breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable, devouring the energy in the Netherworld Blood Sea, and its size and strength are constantly increasing.

With 10,000 times the genetic diversity, its trunk is a full 6 million kilometers long, its height reaches 300 million kilometers, and its crown diameter exceeds 500 million kilometers, although it is still quite a distance from being the strongest world tree.

But it won't be long before we catch up.

Is the strongest World Tree, with a diameter of 1200 million kilometers, a height of 5.9 million kilometers, and a crown diameter of over 10 billion kilometers, the limit?

In order to produce offspring, the strongest World Tree sacrificed its own potential.

It can be predicted that as long as the gene multiplier of one's World Tree clone reaches the perfect level of 10081, its size and power will inevitably increase dramatically!
Not to mention, it continues to reap the souls of the extraterritorial battlefield.

The simulation was underway, and the Soul Palace members never stopped collecting souls.

As time went on, the battlefields outside the region gradually became saturated, and many members of the Soul Hall began to infiltrate the heartland of other races to reap the rewards.

To make the River of Souls grow faster.

In this world-devouring frenzy, bigger is better!

Big is beautiful!

This is the eternal truth.

……

The primordial universe, the Star Tower.

"It's been almost six thousand years, and he's actually managed to hold on."

Pu Ti was deeply impressed by Luo Feng's silent observation; he had been following the Mountain Guest the longest.

In the most ancient times, during the initial stage of the evolution of this vast primordial universe, he followed the Mountain Dweller. Throughout his incredibly long life, he witnessed countless failures.

Only Luo Feng!

In just a few thousand years, he became the Lord of the Realm and possessed invincible combat power worthy of a king.

His willpower has even reached the level of a venerable being.

As the year approached 6000, Luo Feng's expression finally revealed pain and contortion, and his skin tore.

It felt as if my soul would collapse at any moment.

But Luo Feng persevered through gritted teeth.

His unwavering conviction wouldn't allow him to give up. He had experienced similar soul collapses countless times when he was being impacted by the evil energy within Qin Ming's Netherworld Divine Kingdom.

Rumbling--

Inside the Star Tower, in the myriad forbidden spaces, the immortal beings from all corners of the universe were suddenly shocked.

"what happened?"

"Why is the forbidden area shaking?"

The vast forbidden space seemed to be shaken by a giant, all experiencing a sudden tremor. At the same time, the Star Tower, which was nine light-years high, trembled slightly.

"Hahaha, it's finally a success! The Star Tower has been recognizing a master for a full six thousand years! Finally, someone has persevered."

The mountain dweller, who was also keeping a close eye on Luo Feng, laughed with delight.

When he learned that Luo Feng's will had reached the level of a Universe Venerable, he had anticipated that Luo Feng was very likely to succeed in recognizing a master, but when Luo Feng actually succeeded, he was still overjoyed deep down.

The Star Tower was originally a divine-king level palace treasure that he crafted for his disciples.

During the refining process, a golden light flew in.

The appearance of this golden light caused a qualitative change in the Star Tower, something even he couldn't quite understand.

But this change made the Mountain-Sitting Guest aware of it, and this might be his greatest hope for revenge.

At this moment, we finally succeeded!

Luo Feng was overjoyed. He had successfully completed the recognition process and now possessed an extremely powerful treasure!
An ultimate treasure that no humankind possesses!
Immediately afterwards, the Mountain Hermit appeared before Luo Feng and formally accepted him as a disciple, while also telling him about the Star Tower, the Tribulation Armor, and other matters.

"Now I'm the leader of Earth? What a joke! Senior Brother Qin Ming is already a Universe Venerable, possessing the combat power of a Universe Lord."

"But is my Calamity Armor with my second senior brother, Emperor Yan?"

Luo Feng frowned, inwardly complaining.

He felt a deep-seated disgust for this second senior brother.

As a disciple of the Lord of Darkness, he had extremely high authority and had long ago seen the information about the Flame Emperor. He had attacked the Lord of the Universe of his own race for a treasure and then betrayed the human race.

If it weren't for the powerful figure behind him, he would have perished long ago.

Later, the Lord of Ice Peak broke into the Flame God Clan, plundered half of their population, and the relationship between humans and the Flame God Clan became completely strained.

Luo Feng knew Yan Di's temperament all too well.

Would he easily give the armor to him?

"Teacher, what if my second senior brother is unwilling to give me the Armor of Calamity..."

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

The biggest difference from the original timeline is that after he rose to power with Qin Ming, he was no longer fighting alone, and it was no secret that he became a disciple of Zuo Shan Ke.

He had made up his mind that if Emperor Yan really refused, he would directly call upon Senior Brother Qin Ming, Teacher Dark Lord, and Senior Brother Lord Youhou.

Three universe lords are enough to beat that Yan Emperor to a pulp.

"That's up to you how you handle it."

Looking at Luo Feng, the mountain dweller sighed inwardly.

How could he not understand Luo Feng's meaning?
Over the years, he had become utterly disappointed in Emperor Yan. What he wanted was to cultivate someone who was willing and capable of helping him take revenge.

Yan Di was clearly unqualified and had long been abandoned by him.

However, after so much time has passed, some feelings have developed in my heart. Even knowing the nature of Emperor Yan, I still protected him many times.

"I understand!"

Luo Feng nodded.

With the words of the mountain hermit, things became much easier.

Immediately, Luo Feng bid farewell to the mountain dweller.

Having been suddenly separated from his hometown for 6000 years, he had long missed his family and relatives terribly.

Watching Luo Feng's departing figure, the mountain dweller's thoughts were also churning.

"The third piece of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is on Ice Prison Star. With Luo Feng's current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to obtain it."

I originally planned to place the fourth piece on Craftsman God Star, giving him the opportunity to study the secret rune diagram, but why is Qin Ming in the Beast God Realm?

Thinking about this, the mountain dweller couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Very few people know about the Secret Pattern School, and in this era of reincarnation, no one has successfully cultivated it.

Everything was going according to his plan.

The only variable is Qin Ming!

Qin Ming actually entered the Beast God Realm before Luo Feng, and at the cost of a top-tier palace treasure, he had to cultivate in the Beast God Realm for 10 years.

The Star Ancestor had a good relationship with him, but it was impossible for him to turn against the rising power of humanity and drive Qin Ming out because of their relationship.

Are you suggesting that Luo Feng should wait 10 years?

"This person is too strange. In some ways, he seems like a reincarnated powerhouse, but at other times he acts like a native."

"Sigh, we still need to make contact with Qin Ming. Let Luo Feng go in first."
