Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 378 Approaching the Will of the Void God!
Starry Sky Beast Alliance, Starry Sky Divine Mountain.

Qin Ming's figure flew out from a palace, greeted the Lord of the Golden Horn and other cosmic lords, and then disappeared in an instant.

The primordial universe was 20,000 years old!
In the Beast God Realm, that's over two hundred million years.

More than two hundred million years have passed, and the Beast God statues in the Beast God Realm are no longer of any use to Qin Ming. In fact, during this process, he also comprehended the 'Heart of the Beast God'.

For others, comprehending the 'Heart of the Beast God' is extremely difficult, but for Qin Ming, it is not too difficult.

By frequently observing the 64 Beast God statues, Qin Ming, with his powerful and almost unreasonable soul, managed to comprehend a special artistic conception within them.

It's as if he's possessed by a beast god.

Experience the joys and sorrows of the Beast God, fight against enemies as the Beast God himself, battle through the endless void, and continue the battle across galaxies... until his final, unwilling fall.

Qin Ming had experienced this feeling many times before.

It's like possessing a Soul Clan warrior and viewing the universe from their perspective, or observing the memories of each life after death in the Netherworld when completing reincarnation.

Go and experience the lives of other people.

Each cycle of reincarnation made Qin Ming's will grow stronger.

Watching Qin Ming's departing figure, the Star Ancestor, who was perched atop the Starry Sky Divine Mountain, silently withdrew his gaze.

He had already determined that Qin Ming had come specifically to comprehend the Beast God Statue.

"Who could have known that Qin Ming was actually a genius in the Path of the Beast God? He had so easily mastered the ultimate bottleneck of the Path of the Beast God, the most elusive and difficult-to-obtain 'Heart of the Beast God'?"

His expression was full of emotion.

The Way of the Beast God has a total of seven levels of inheritance according to the divisions of the Ancestral God Religion.

Comprehending the entire Path of the Beast God leads to the level of 'Lord of the Universe'.

However, achieving this is easier said than done.

The Starry Sky Beast is said to be a descendant of the Beast God, but the Golden Horned Beast lineage has only had two Universe Lords in the endless eras, while most others, such as the Flame Star Beast, have only had one Universe Lord.

The most difficult part is that you must comprehend the heart of the Beast God in order to transform into a true Beast God!

If Qin Ming knew what the old beast god was thinking, he would just smile and remain silent.

The most elusive and unpredictable heart of the Beast God?

They talk about it in such mysterious terms, but they don't really understand the essence of the laws of fusion, and no one has figured out a path for it.

The heart of the Beast God can be traced.

The path of time and space, through the fusion of time and space, allows one to become the master of the universe. There is no messy or complicated conception involved. The path of the Beast God is essentially the path of the fusion of laws.

When one's understanding of the principles of fusion reaches a certain level, one will inevitably be able to master them.

The shortcut to this is the secret rune diagram corresponding to the 64 Beast Gods!

For example, the eight secret patterns of the Golden Beast God. The eight secret patterns completely represent the complete Golden Beast God. As long as you thoroughly understand and master these eight secret patterns, you will be able to achieve complete mastery.

Therefore, following the path of fusion with the Golden Void Beast God is a piece of cake.

Over the course of more than 100 million years, Qin Ming revised the "Secret Pattern Catalogue" three times, making it far superior to the original version.

The other universe lords were no longer comprehending the 64 Secret Pattern Diagrams, but rather the "Secret Pattern Diagram Record" created by Qin Ming.

……

brush!
After leaving Starry Sky Divine Mountain, Qin Ming's figure vanished instantly and appeared in the Netherworld Divine Kingdom.

The River of Souls has completed its final transformation and is about to break through to become the Lord of the Universe. Naturally, the original body needs to leave the Beast God Realm to complete its transformation simultaneously.

As for the Chaos City Lord using the price of a top-tier palace treasure to purchase 10 years of cultivation time in the Beast God Realm, although the time has not yet expired, it is enough.

The benefits gained from the Beast God Realm are more than 10 top-tier palace treasures!

"All the accumulated strength has reached its limit; it's time to break through."

Looking at the endless River of Souls, which has absorbed countless lives and souls over tens of thousands of years, the surface of the river is calm, with only occasional ripples.

Qin Ming felt an immense sense of joy.

At this moment, there is a bridge above the River of Souls.

After death in the human race, the souls that are reincarnated walk on the bridge, their souls becoming increasingly thin until finally turning into specks of 'true spirit' that fly into a vortex in the sky.

Beyond the vortex lies a space specially created by Qin Ming, where the Soul Reaper leads souls to reincarnation.

Clearly, the reincarnation system has become more standardized after operating for more than 10,000 years.

Having absorbed such astonishing soul energy, the length of the River of Souls has already exceeded 500 billion kilometers, and it continues to grow rapidly.

Because it corresponds to the territory of the Netherworld, it is also constantly expanding.

One by one, secret realms and continents were incorporated into it.

Such as the Blood Luo Continent in the Primordial Secret Realm, the Purgatory Abyss in the Primordial Secret Realm, and even the super-large continents under the command of other top forces, are all given priority to be included in the scope of the Netherworld.

The sheer volume of souls contained within them is immense!

Correspondingly, the size of the Netherworld God Kingdom has also expanded at an astonishing rate, exceeding 2 light-years!
With the River of Souls and the World Tree, which is best at guarding the divine kingdom, plus the special nature of the Netherworld Divine Kingdom itself, Qin Ming is confident that he can suppress even the strongest being in the universe!
"The Netherworld Divine Kingdom is too special and extremely exclusive. Even the original cosmic will may not be able to sense a breakthrough within the divine kingdom and send down its divine power."

With a thought, Qin Ming's true form appeared within the Primal Secret Realm.

With his current breakthrough in strength, the ocean of divine power must be pouring into the sky above the River of Souls, but the River of Souls is an important place for the souls to reincarnate in the Netherworld, and it cannot be moved easily.

It is necessary to provide guidance from the outside world.

The instant it appears.

"boom!!!"

The primordial laws of the universe descended directly, and boundless pressure enveloped the entire secret realm. The immense fluctuations immediately drew everyone's attention.

The Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, and others immediately noticed and turned their gazes towards it. "What's this?"

"Qin Ming is about to break through!"

"Finally a breakthrough!"

"With the divine body of a mountain giant spanning tens of millions of kilometers, and his absolute defensive talent, he possesses fusion techniques, supreme treasures, and an almost terrifying soul attack."

Before his breakthrough, his strength was already comparable to that of a fifth-order universe master, right?

If I break through again, wouldn't I be able to reach the sixth-order Universe Lord level?

"It's hard to say, but his strength has definitely surpassed that of the Dark Ones."

Instantly, all the universe lords who had been awakened turned their gazes toward the primordial universe. Although they had all left the giant axe microcosm over the past tens of thousands of years, they still occasionally exchanged glances.

For example, the Lord of Dragons had fought Qin Ming's mountain giant clone more than once and was very clear about Qin Ming's strength.

Even the Lord of Darkness himself had once contested Qin Ming's soul.

To his astonishment, Qin Ming was no less capable than him in terms of willpower, and might even be superior. Now, with his strength increasing a hundredfold after breaking through, his power was simply terrifying.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Ming calmly looked up at the sky.

A colossal vortex appeared on the surface of the primordial secret realm.

Black and white vortexes... enormous vortexes, vast and endless, carrying boundless power.

"This momentum is truly astonishing."

Qin Ming looked at the super-giant vortex in the sky that was expanding rapidly, increasing from hundreds of billions of kilometers to 10081 billion kilometers in the blink of an eye.

"When Master Qianwu broke through, the diameter of his vortex was only about 10 billion kilometers. But mine reached 1 trillion kilometers. The difference is astonishing."

What criteria did the primordial cosmic will use to bring down the vortex?

The size of the divine body?

Willpower?

As Qin Ming gazed at the black and white vortexes swirling in the sky, the enormous Netherworld Gate above his head opened.

In an instant, a passage appeared at the center of this enormous vortex.

A passage connecting the 'Ocean of Cosmic Laws' and Qin Ming's Divine Kingdom was established.

The once tranquil river of souls in the divine realm suddenly became turbulent and surging.

An endless ocean of divine power poured down.

"The critical moment has arrived!"

Qin Ming didn't dare to be careless. The reason he waited until now to break through was to make the River of Souls genes reach perfection and absorb more divine power.

It also helps to strengthen one's will.

Given the vastness of the River of Souls, if one were to rely on oneself to slowly transform it, even billions of years would not be enough to transform much!

Such immense divine power, even if all of humanity's resources were poured into it, would not cause the slightest ripple.

Rumble~~~
The core of the vortex, with its intermingling black and white concentric rings, was filled with a torrent of divine power and seawater pouring out from its vortex channels.

The scene, resembling the collapse of the heavens, left even the Lord of Darkness and others, who were observing from afar, dumbfounded.

With such divine power, their divine bodies, spanning 90,000 kilometers, could be transformed instantly, right?
"This, senior brother. You've followed our teacher the longest. Was his breakthrough this dramatic?"

As the Lord of Darkness was alarmed, he secretly transmitted his voice to the Lord of Chaos City beside him.

"No! Although the scene of the teacher's breakthrough was also very spectacular, it was less than a hundred billion kilometers."

Even the Lord of Chaos City was amazed.

A divine vortex with a diameter of 10081 billion kilometers!

The terrifying pressure emanating from it was so daunting that even he was terrified; it was simply too frightening.

Upon receiving news of Qin Ming's breakthrough, the cosmic lords, whether through divine incarnations or his true form, watched from afar.

Even the giant axe was horrified when he saw this scene.

However, Qin Ming had no intention of communicating with them at this moment; all his will was focused on controlling the River of Souls.

Swallow it like crazy and transform immediately.

Originally, his divine power was at the 'Ten Thousand Times Gene Venerable Level', but it immediately surged a hundredfold, reaching the 'Ten Thousand Times Universe Lord Level' level!
The speed at which divine power is absorbed and transformed when breaking through to the level of Cosmic Venerable or Cosmic Lord is related to the absorption speed of the River of Souls itself; the faster the absorption speed, the faster the power is poured out.

However, the speed at which the River of Souls absorbs is related to willpower!

The stronger the will, the faster the absorption!
When Qin Ming's will broke through to the eighth level of the Myriad Soul Banner, it officially reached the level of the strongest in the universe. After more than 20,000 years of accumulation, it was close to the peak of the strongest in the universe.

One of the challenges of wielding the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is being bombarded by endless malevolent energy.

For Qin Ming, what mattered most was the countless lives that had been reincarnated and reborn in the Netherworld over the past tens of thousands of years, and how he had repeatedly read the memories of all living beings.

Each time is a cycle.

We all experience life once.

This experience led him to witness countless joys and sorrows, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and also made his will incredibly strong.

Upon breaking through to become the master of the universe, one's divine power undergoes a transformation, and one's will is also strengthened!

Qin Ming could feel that his will had reached the limit of the strongest in the universe, and he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to another realm.

It devoured divine power at a level approaching that of a true god of the void!
"Devour! Transform!"
