Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 377 Finally! Breakthrough to the Lord of the Universe!
What do humans want to do?

The Dream Demon Ancestor's face was gloomy.

Since the three races' failed raid, the human race has gained immense prestige in the primordial universe.

That terrifying strength made the entire primordial universe take notice, and some forces even believed that, apart from the strongest individuals, the human race's overall strength had surpassed that of the demon race, making them the number one race in the primordial universe!

Two universe lords were killed and one was captured, causing the demon race to suffer a devastating blow.

The demon race itself is also unstable.

The demon race reveres bloodlines and has eighteen royal families.

This is not only because these eighteen races have powerful bloodlines, but also because each race possesses a cosmic ruler.

The eighteen members of the imperial family also enjoyed enormous power.

Various precious resources are reserved for members of the eighteen royal families.

When powerful members of the royal bloodline meet someone of royal blood, they must address him as "Your Highness"!

With two powerful figures suddenly falling, do these two clans still deserve to be called royalty?
Shouldn't the benefits enjoyed by their ethnic group be given up?
For example, shouldn't the Sirius clan be downgraded to a royal clan?
The potential profits are so great that even the demon royal family is envious.

There are internal conflicts of interest among human groups, but the internal struggles among demons are even more brutal!
After all, humans are still nominally the same species.

The demon race is not.

In the history of the demon race, there have been instances such as the expulsion of the demon ancestor and the split of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance. These events caused far greater damage than the expulsion of the Yan Emperor by the human race.

What troubles them the most is the captured Lord of the Coffins!

If he were killed on the spot, that would be one thing.

Being captured alive puts the demon race in a very passive position.

The Lord of the Coffins left behind a divine power clone within the demon race. Through this clone, he and several other cosmic lords who were on good terms with him tried every means to persuade humanity to release it.

But how could humans easily release people?

Asking for the most powerful and precious treasures is something everyone knows is impossible.

What followed was a long period of bargaining, with the Chaos City Lord offering treasures of the pinnacle realm, the pinnacle palace, and so on, and not just one or two.

How can this be?

However, it is impossible to abandon the Lord of the Coffins because of this.

If we abandon them, the demon race may split apart again!

The fact that the Lord of the Coffin Insects is in human hands makes the demon race hesitant to act against him.

If they launch another war against humanity, the Lord of the Coffin Worms will surely die. This would be tantamount to them killing the Lord of the Coffin Worms with their own hands, and their internal forces would also fall into chaos.

Saving them is one problem, not saving them is another.

The war in the extraterritorial battlefields became increasingly fierce, but the human race survived the most difficult period and, after being resurrected multiple times, still managed to hold on.

On the contrary, the demon race couldn't stand it anymore.

Human beings seem to be resurrected without any cost, dying again and again.

The demon race is out of the question!
In the past, when a king of the demon race died, he could be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe.

Now there's not even a chance to be resurrected!

Who can bear this?
After a great battle, the demon race emerged as the biggest loser.

Many powerful individuals from various races are no longer willing to enter the extraterritorial battlefield and are demanding a reduction in the intensity of the conflict.

A wave of waves has risen again.

And now humanity is making another big move.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom began to launch reforms, which then spread to the entire human race, aiming to completely eliminate the internal slave trade and to sink the virtual universe to the bottom level.

With the increasing production of the three major potions, more and more powerful individuals are emerging from the lower levels.

Humanity's rise is now unstoppable!
When the overall strength of an ethnic group increases dramatically, what is the first thing they do?
Of course, it's about expanding outwards!
“The situation of the human race is very strange. None of the universe lords have left the original universe and entered the cosmic sea! Even many high-level venerables and universe overlords have not made a move.”

Even the enormous head of the Demon Ancestor frowned.

The surge in the clan's power, the internal reforms that liberated its strength, and the fact that all high-level combat forces would no longer enter the cosmic sea—the implications of this were far too dangerous.

"Should we summon back all the lords of the universe who are currently out there? Even if the human race wants to expand, they cannot take territory from my demon race."

The Dream Demon Ancestor snorted coldly.

The demon race lost three universe lords, while the human race gained one Qianwu lord and one Youming lord. With this shift in power, the number of universe lords is now close.

Moreover, the human universe masters, using some unknown secret method, each possess a divine body spanning 90,000 kilometers, resulting in a surge in their strength!
"There's no need. The human race may have received some kind of inheritance from the cosmic sea, causing the divine body of the universe lord to surge, but we demon race have not."

Staying in the original universe means your strength will never improve.

They dare not wage a full-scale war; at most, they will seize the territories of weaker tribes. The most troublesome one is still the Lord of the Underworld!

The Zhenyao Clan shook their heads, knowing that with the strongest being in the universe in charge, the clan was already safe.

The two of them also took turns exploring the Cosmic Sea.

"Lord of the Underworld! The Soul Clan in that extraterrestrial battlefield must have been created by him as well."

He also developed the Spirit Nourishing Potion, Dawn Potion, and War God Potion!
Their innate talent is also astonishingly strong.

It's a pity we've already missed our best chance to kill him.

Soul clan.

At first, everyone thought that this was just a race that had just emerged from the secret realm, and that they had strange talents.

But gradually they also sensed that something was wrong.

The death curse is probably a hoax. The real reason is that those who died were somehow resurrected and enslaved!
There are limits to soul enslavement, and it also puts a lot of pressure on the soul itself.

It would be impossible to form such a large population simply by enslaving souls.

"The Lord of the Underworld has currently revealed several avatars, including the Mountain Giant and the World Tree. He should also have a top-tier special life form avatar."

Similar to the Nine Nether Sea, it can create clones of its race!

The Dream Demon Ancestor sighed.

As the strongest being in the universe, she knew that there was a special energy life form in the Nine Netherworld Spacetime, a group of powerful beings who were born from the Nine Netherworld Sea.

"How can there be such a genius in the world?"

It's incredible that it only took ten thousand years! That giant axe is nothing to worry about; it's just an ordinary seventh-order universe's strongest being, and it doesn't even have any supreme treasures.

This Lord of the Underworld is far too strange!

The two progenitors were deeply saddened. Why did humanity have such a heaven-defying existence as the progenitor, and why did another one appear after billions of years?
"We must establish contact with the Machine Race and the Zerg. Even if we cannot suppress them, we cannot allow them to rise to power easily. Furthermore, we cannot allow the interests of our race to be harmed!"
If war breaks out, we should still form an alliance to suppress it.

"At that time, we will also need to recall all the lords of the universe."

……

The demon race is watching humans closely, just as the insect race and the mechanical race are watching every move humans make.

Such a massive reform attracted almost all the attention from the outside world, making the commotion in the Netherworld seem insignificant in comparison.

Like the demon race, the insectoid and mechanical races have almost all begun to prepare for war.

It wasn't just these four top clans; their respective alliances also began to stir.

This will undoubtedly have a chain reaction!
The atmosphere throughout the primordial universe became tense.

The actions of a top-tier race can influence the entire primordial universe, let alone the rise of a top-tier race!
Some groups want to join the Hong Alliance, and those groups bordering the Hong Alliance are even more nervous.

In this situation, the human race showed no intention of explaining, continuing to purge the 'tumors' within the race and develop the race's potential as much as possible.

war?
The Chaos City Lord and his group are indeed making preparations.

1008 Universe Country?
When humanity only had 15 Universe Lords, there were 1008 Universe Nations. Even if there are 20 or 30 Universe Lords, there are still only 1008 Universe Nations. Wouldn't that mean all the breakthroughs were for nothing?
After the Lord of the Eclipse Palace secretly broke through, within a few thousand years, a second and a third Lord of the Universe appeared like an geyser.

The second breakthrough came from the Ancestral Tree Venerable of the Giant Axe Arena.

One of the three top cosmic overlords!

The third was the disciple of the Chaos City Lord—Venerable Guiyi.

The Venerable Guiyi is also a veteran cosmic overlord who has followed the Lord of Chaos City for many years. In terms of understanding the laws, he is no less than the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and the Venerable Ancestral Tree.

However, the lack of a clone and the hundredfold genetic limitation make him far weaker than the three top cosmic overlords.

After consuming the soul essence of a universe master bestowed upon him by the Lord of Chaos City, he finally broke through like the Lord of Qianwu, ending the history of the Lord of Chaos City having no universe master under his command.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in just a few thousand years, the human race has produced eight more cosmic lords!
Eight!

However, the emergence of a large number of universe masters in a short period of time has also depleted the human race's resource reserves, especially the treasures that can enhance gene multiplication and restore divine power!
The entire human race also began to stir with restlessness.

Our strength has increased, but our resources are lacking!
How to do?
External expansion is almost the only option.

In this atmosphere, Qin Ming calmed down and focused on comprehending the "Secret Pattern Record," increasing the gene multiplier of the River of Souls to 10081 perfect.

Through various treasures, the genes of the River of Souls had long been close to 10081, but were just a little short!
Finally, after eight thousand years.

The World Tree multiplied to 10081 times its original size, and after another 1200 years, the River of Souls finally reached 10081 times its original size as well!
The ascension of soul-type beings is the most difficult.

Rumbling--

Within the Netherworld God Kingdom, the River of Souls trembled violently, and a feeling of perfection finally rose within Qin Ming's heart.

"The Soul River clone has finally reached 10081 times, and it's time to officially break through to the level of the Universe Lord."
