Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 379 A Surge in Strength! The Beginning of Territorial Expansion (Previous Chapter, slightly revised)

The rulers of the universe are divided into six ranks, and the strongest beings in the universe are naturally also divided into different levels.

The seventh rank is the level to which most of the strongest beings in the universe belong.

Both the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor are at the seventh rank!

Even if they possess the most powerful treasures, their strength is only at the seventh level!
The Zerg Queen and the Machine Father God are stronger than the two of them, and should have reached the eighth level. The same goes for the Giant Axe, although it is at the top of the eighth level.

In the original timeline, the giant axe's strength quickly reached the peak of the ninth rank as soon as he obtained the divine axe!
Of course, this is the original power of the giant axe in the original timeline.

Qin Ming didn't know how strong the giant axe was now.

After all, Qin Ming gained a great deal when he comprehended the 64 Secret Pattern Diagrams and created the "Secret Pattern Diagram Record," and the same was true for the giant axe.

Just how powerful it is, only the giant axe itself probably knows.

Even in the cosmic sea, the strongest being, the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan, was only at the ninth level!
The next level up is 10!
At this moment, Qin Ming's willpower alone had reached the peak of the 10th level!
How terrible?
……

In just a moment, the oppressive force of the primordial laws in the original secret realm receded, the overflowing ocean of divine power suddenly disappeared, and the two divine kingdoms returned to peace.

The moment of breakthrough, the ability to devour divine power is only for a brief moment.

"My river of soul is about 50 billion kilometers in diameter."

Qin Ming, a human, also returned to the Netherworld God Kingdom, standing alongside the Mountain Giant above the River of Souls.

"Just a moment ago, the transformed divine power reached approximately 32% of the volume of my River of Souls!"

In terms of efficiency, it's quite astonishing, considering how vast the River of Souls is.

One-third of 50 billion kilometers!

Wow!
The human being and the mountain giant's avatar suddenly plunged into the River of Souls.

With the vastness of the River of Souls, even the giant body of a mountain range tens of millions of kilometers high was instantly transformed, reaching the level of a universe master's genetic divine power ten thousand times greater.

In terms of pure divine power, it is a hundred times stronger than before.

Then a tributary branched off from the meandering River of Souls, sweeping across the void and entwining around the towering tree in the center of the Netherworld God Kingdom.

This is a colossal tree that is 60 billion kilometers tall and has a canopy diameter of over 100 billion kilometers.

When the gene multiplication rate reached 10081 times, the World Tree also broke through the limit, and its size suddenly increased dramatically.

Even the strongest World Tree on the Nine Netherworld Time-Space Tree Island was as small as a doll in front of it, and as a continuous stream of divine power poured in, the divine power of this World Tree suddenly changed.

That is, the River of Souls must be vast enough; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for someone of this size to fully convert into the divine power of the Lord of the Universe.

hum!
An invisible spacetime fluctuation emanated from the World Tree clone, and the already extremely condensed spacetime fluctuation suddenly became a hundred times stronger!
Control time and space!

When one breaks through to become the master of the universe, one will receive the gifts of the primordial universe, gaining the ability to control space and time, suppress the void, and reverse space and time to revive life.

The World Tree's talent is to control time and space!

If other universe masters were present, they would be horrified to discover that the World Tree's control over spacetime is terrifyingly powerful, no less than that of the strongest beings in the universe.

It's not just because the World Tree itself possesses the ability to control spacetime, which was strengthened after it broke through to become the Lord of the Universe.

After analyzing the 64 Secret Rune Diagrams, Qin Ming enhanced the Mountain Giant Absolute Defense talent by 5000 times over tens of millions of years.

Two hundred million years have passed, so how could Qin Ming not strengthen the World Tree's ability to control space and time?
At this moment, the spatial suppression power of the entire Netherworld Divine Kingdom has reached an astonishing level.

After the Netherworld transformed into Qin Ming's divine kingdom, it became extremely strange, no longer simply the internal space of the Myriad Souls Banner.

Because Qin Ming broke through to become the Lord of the Universe, the Second Divine Kingdom experienced a surge in size and a more stable structure. At the same time, the Netherworld Divine Kingdom itself also underwent a strange change, with its size also increasing dramatically!

Although it is not as much as the ten or hundred times improvement when the Myriad Soul Banner is upgraded, the improvement is still amazing and it continues to grow, with its structure becoming more and more stable.

The power of suppression naturally surged!
Under the triple suppression, its power was more than a hundred times stronger than before the breakthrough.
"With just my willpower and soul attacks, combined with the Myriad Soul Banner, my strength is definitely no less than that of the strongest beings in the universe, and even in the primordial universe, I am a top-tier sixth-order being!"

Feeling the surging power within him, Qin Ming felt boundless pride.

at last.

After his strength underwent another transformation, it has reached an extremely high level.

The primordial universe was invincible.

Even if he went to the Cosmic Sea, there would be very few things that could pose a threat to him!

"Once things are settled in the Primal Universe, we can head to the Cosmic Sea to hunt down the strongest. Hmm, let's try fishing out a few unlucky guys in the Primal Universe first."

Qin Ming felt relieved.

If he wasn't confident enough to suppress the strongest being in the universe before his breakthrough, he is now absolutely certain!

If the strongest being in the universe is lured into the Netherworld God Kingdom, then that person will surely die.

There was no need for Giant Axe or Dark Teacher to even lift a finger.

He can suppress it all by himself.

"Now we just need to see when Luo Feng breaks through. We'll kill Yan Di first, and then take care of the Nine Domains Alliance as well. After that, we can fully promote the Netherworld."

Before heading to the cosmic sea, let's harvest some resources first.

Qin Ming thought to himself.

Once he broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he no longer had any scruples.

Human population expansion is imminent.

War is inevitable; it's just a matter of who gets hit by that hammer!
Of the six top races, only the Demon Race has two of the strongest beings in the universe; the others each have only one!
The fall of any of the universe's strongest beings would trigger a war that would wipe out an entire race.

It's like in the original timeline, when the giant axe of the human race fell.

The giant axe is dead.

War broke out instantly!

"With another breakthrough, the internal structure of the Divine Kingdom will also need to be readjusted. Although Irina's strength has reached the level of a top-tier cosmic overlord, it will probably still be a bit difficult for her to control the entire Netherworld Divine Kingdom."

Qin Ming hovered in mid-air, gazing at his vast divine kingdom.

The divine kingdom is slowly transforming at this moment. Its expansion is secondary; more importantly, the divine kingdom's structure is becoming more stable and approaching its limit.

Let's leave aside the second divine kingdom for now.

My next breakthrough is to become the strongest, and for my divine kingdom to evolve into a miniature universe. Logically speaking, this is already the ultimate level of the divine kingdom.

However, the Netherworld Kingdom is too special.

It is also the core space of the Myriad Soul Banner, which can be upgraded through the advancement of the Myriad Soul Banner.

It's too early for him to break through to become the strongest in the universe.

A divine body that is at least 90,000 times, or even 100,000 times, will certainly not break through easily.

However, Qin Ming was quite confident that the Myriad Soul Banner would advance to the ninth rank and become a supreme treasure.

At that time, the Netherworld Divine Kingdom will surely experience another surge in value.

As for letting the Lord of Sirius handle all the big and small matters?

It's not that I look down on the Lord of Sirius, but an ordinary cosmic ruler doesn't really have the powerful talent of the Zerg Queen who can do everything at once.

The expansion of the Netherworld alone involves an astonishing number of issues.

Moreover, there are also the Heavenly Crafts Hall, the Hall of All Things, and so on.

"Tsk, the Zerg Queen is the most suitable candidate to be the main soul of the Myriad Souls Banner. If we could take the Zerg Queen as the main soul, that would be awesome."

Qin Ming was lost in thought.

If you're lucky, you could become rich by adding the Zerg Queen to the Myriad Souls Banner.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

Among the many strongest beings, only the Zerg Queen possesses the supreme treasure of the palace. Even in the cosmic sea, she is absolutely safe as long as she does not enter the core of the three forbidden zones.

The palace's supreme power and treasures are truly terrifying!
This is also the only existence that Qin Ming is not confident he can suppress within his own divine realm.

With that thought in mind, Qin Ming did not linger any longer.

The Gate of the Underworld opened, and Qin Ming appeared in the Primal Secret Realm, looking at the group of human Universe Lords who had come to observe, as well as the Giant Axe Founder.

"Congratulations!"

"Hahaha, the Lord of the Underworld has truly lived up to his name now."

"I have no idea how strong you are now!"

"Darkness, you are probably no match for Qin Ming now."

The veteran universe masters all looked at Qin Ming with smiles, and Qin Ming stepped forward to return their greetings one by one.

The newly crowned rulers of the universe had mixed feelings.

The commotion caused by the breakthroughs of senior brothers like the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse and the Lord of Unity was far less than that of Qin Ming.

The noise and commotion during a breakthrough can also reflect their strength to some extent.

The attitudes of numerous veteran universe masters and the giant axe further demonstrate Qin Ming's extraordinary nature.

After they broke through to become masters of the universe, they also learned many things, such as that the "Perfect Codex" and the "Secret Pattern Record" were created or spearheaded by Qin Ming.

Almost no one doubted whether Qin Ming could become the strongest in the universe.

It is only a matter of time.

Even many veteran universe masters admire Qin Ming and regard him as the second Primordial Ancestor!

This is not just one or two people.

It's a consensus!

Looking at Qin Ming and the Dragon Lord who was egging him on, the Dark Lord shook his head slightly.

He wasn't really confident after his disciple broke through.

This day came so quickly that he was caught off guard.

Needless to say, the Lord of the Dry Witches is even more so.

Qin Ming had long surpassed him in strength.

"Qin Ming has broken through; we should celebrate properly."

The giant axe looked at the laughing and joking human warriors and spoke.

He probably knows Qin Ming's strength better than anyone else.

He taught Qin Ming axe techniques for a hundred years, and Qin Ming cultivated in his microcosm for tens of millions of years. After creating the "Secret Pattern Record", the two also sparred.

With Qin Ming's extraordinary willpower and soul attacks, he has already achieved top-tier sixth-order combat power, unlike the Dark Lord and Chaos City Lord who rely on powerful divine bodies to engage in short-term battles with the strongest beings in the universe.

That's a genuine top-tier sixth rank!

Qin Ming himself, and his three clones.

Aside from lacking the ability to make words come true and break the original rules of the universe, this is the ultimate combat power that the strongest beings in the universe can unleash!

This is almost equivalent to humanity gaining four more of the strongest beings in the universe in the original universe.

"We should celebrate properly. We should also take this opportunity to discuss some things, such as how to expand our territory."
