Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 406 The Strongest Lone Warriors, Qin Ming's Intimidation
On the edge of human territory lies the secret realm of the moonlit sea.

Within this secret realm floats a vast continent with a diameter of approximately one light-year, renowned for the pale blue full moon that hovers in the sky.

The danger level within the secret realm is very low.

Over the long course of time, the population of this continent alone far exceeds that of the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

And there are many such hidden realms within human territory.

Unlike the closed continent of Blood Luo Continent, in the Sea Moon Secret Realm, as long as one is strong enough, one can freely enter and exit.

Since 20,000 years ago, the virtual universe has lifted its restrictions.

Anyone can purchase a virtual universe link device, log in to it, and receive a set of basic cultivation techniques within the virtual universe.

You can learn and cultivate yourself in it.

Various technological creations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Spirit-Nourishing Potions are a must-buy for all cultivators.

In just 20,000 years, a large number of geniuses have emerged on the Haiyue Continent. Two of the top 1,000 in the most recent Virtual Universe Genius Battle came from the Blue Moon Secret Realm.

But it is precisely because of this rapid development that the population of the entire Blue Moon Secret Realm is also skyrocketing!
In the center of a city on the mysterious continent, there is a super city with a value of nearly 10 billion.

boom! boom! boom!
Intense spatial fluctuations occurred in the center of the city.

Then, three divine kingdom teleportation channels with diameters exceeding ten thousand meters were permanently established.

An immortal god with a single horn on his head and scales all over his body slowly flew into the sky, his majestic aura emanating from him and enveloping the entire city.

"Attention all those who have registered in the virtual universe to participate in the pioneering work!"

"After entering the Divine Kingdom teleportation channel, you can directly arrive at the 'New World'! That is the starry sky where the Nine Domains Alliance is located, a wild world that is much larger than the Sea Moon Secret Realm."

That's not the secret realm continent.

Rather, it was a more suitable environment for survival, giving rise to stronger offspring and a more powerful spirit within the primordial universe.

"Our great cosmic master defeated the Nine Domains Alliance in the war, killing most of their powerful warriors. That place now belongs to us!"

But it is still an extremely dangerous world, and it is up to you to explore it.

"By stepping into that new world, you can obtain more resources to exchange for stronger cultivation methods, which will also benefit your descendants."

"Gentlemen! May your treasures be boundless, and your future limitless!"

"Infinite treasures! Infinite future!"

"kill!"

"Haha, our opportunity has arrived!"

In the city, billions of people, their eyes bloodshot, shouted loudly, and then, under unified command, they quickly rushed into the space teleportation channel and disappeared.

On the edge of the city, a hunchbacked, green-skinned old man quietly watched this scene, his eyes filled with sighs.

Behind him, a young man also looked eager to try.

"You want to go too? Then go ahead."

"is teacher!"

The young man was overjoyed and quickly said...

"I'm not your teacher, I'm just giving you pointers."

The hunchbacked old man shook his head slightly, and then vanished into thin air.

"Teacher? Teacher!"

The young man's expression changed. He was lucky enough to obtain a third-tier weapon, but because of this weapon, his family was destroyed and his family was wiped out. Who knew that he would encounter this hunchbacked old man in his despair.

He was only glanced at once, and he lived in the illusion for 100,000 years and became the Lord of the Realm!

Although its current strength is still at the cosmic level, its combat power has increased by an unknown amount.

"Unfortunately, my teacher was unwilling to accept me as his disciple. If I could have continued to follow him, perhaps I could have become immortal. However, I have already been lucky enough."

First, I'll seek revenge, and then I'll venture into the Nine Realms Alliance territory.

With my abilities, I might be able to achieve something great.

With these thoughts in mind, the young man quickly left.

"Ho ho..."

The hunchbacked old man with tentacles remained standing in the same spot, watching the young man leave, and then laughed.

"Humans are really quick. In such a short time, the entire race has been mobilized, with a large number of humans from the secret realms and the divine kingdoms developing the Nine Realms Secret Realms."

It probably won't be long before they completely occupy the territory of the Nine Domains Alliance.

The virtual universe is simply too incredible.

The hunchbacked old man with tentacles looked across the entire secret realm. Similar teleportation channels were everywhere on the continent, clearly indicating that large-scale human development had begun.

And this is only a corner of human territory.

The potential of the entire human race has been fully realized.

By occupying more territory, humanity will inevitably produce more powerful beings in the future, establishing its position as the dominant force in the universe.

“Buzz~~~”

A powerful will traversed endless time and space, suddenly descending upon this secret realm and this city.

The surrounding space was slightly distorted.

"Stone, you're really in a good mood, even having the time to play games here."

"I am naturally interested. I can go wherever I want, save people if I want, and kill if I want."

"But you, machine, you actually possess the will of time to descend upon me?"

The hunchbacked old man is naturally the illusory demon god.

After the great war between humans and the Zerg, the demons, the machine race, and the Northern Frontier Alliance, he had nothing to do and mingled among the human race, since no one could do anything to him anyway.

Humans will not offend him casually.

"I've come to ask for your help. Humanity's power is growing ever stronger, and in the future, it's highly likely that it will become like the Divine Eye Clan of the First Cycle Era..."

The oval black sphere, formed from willpower, emitted a sound.

"Machinery! This is your war, it has nothing to do with me."

"I have no race, so it doesn't matter how much humanity expands its territory. What if humanity becomes the next Divine Eye Clan?"

The illusory demon god chuckled.

The strongest being in the solitary universe is least afraid of the so-called peak races, not to mention that he also possesses the supreme treasure armor. In the primordial universe, as long as one doesn't seek death, no one can kill him.

No one would intentionally offend them.

"Furthermore, with the limited inheritance of humanity, at most a few more universe lords will emerge, with slightly larger divine bodies."

The mechanical father god remained silent. After a long while, a voice emanated from the oval black sphere.

"Stone, help me one more time! You attacked the Lord of the Underworld last time, so he must hold a grudge. Why don't you join us in suppressing humanity?"

We are willing to offer three supreme treasures; please make your move.

"Three supreme treasures?"

The illusory demon god shook his head, but couldn't help thinking of Qin Ming's final slash and the expanding soul domain during the war.

"Ultimate treasures are of no use to me."

"Are you confident in killing the Lord of the Underworld? If you are, I don't mind eliminating this scourge; if not, then forget it."

"Humanity is indeed lucky. They produced a Primordial Ancestor, and now they have produced a Lord of the Netherworld. His domain treasure must be an extremely powerful treasure."

Relying on the supreme treasure of the Soul Domain, he unleashed top-tier sixth-order combat power.

"With his talent, he will probably become the strongest before long, or even an existence like the Primordial Ancestor. It would be unwise to offend him for three supreme treasures."

"I'm only telling you this because we're good friends. But I've already repaid what I owed you last time..."

During the battle, he refrained from fighting because of the advice of the Mountain Hermit, and he had already made up his mind.

The Lord of the Underworld rose to power too quickly and his strength is too great.

It also possesses the most powerful treasures in the soul realm.

Only the most powerful treasures can rival the most powerful treasures; this is common knowledge.

Even the mysterious hermit was unwilling to offend him.

He didn't want to either!
The original ancestor was invincible throughout the universe, and even the two great holy lands retreated in fear.

Even the strongest beings in the universe would surely die if they encountered a Primal Ancestor without the protection of a supreme treasure that guards their soul.

As things stand, Qin Ming's talent is even more terrifying than that of the original ancestor.

Why would he want to offend them?
If he weren't used to working alone, he might have joined the Hongmeng directly.

The Perfect Codex was useless to him, but the Mystic Rune Catalog, which analyzed the inheritance of secret techniques from another perspective, might be of some use to him.

Of course, it's not that they're actually afraid of humans.

It's not worth it!

"Ok."

The mechanical god sighed.

Slay the Lord of the Underworld?

With the Lord of the Underworld's strength and numerous clones, it would be impossible for him to do so.

It's ridiculous to say that.

The mighty strongest being in the universe, the True Demon God, was completely unafraid of the giant axe, yet he was so wary of a universe lord, and he acknowledged this in his heart.

It's outrageous!
Even the strongest beings in the universe, like the Demon God of Falsehood who walk the path of illusion and possess the most powerful treasure armor, are unwilling to offend him.

The benefits and risks are completely disproportionate.

……

An endless starry sky.

A figure clad in deep black armor, the armor itself formed from golden flames into a blurry, humanoid shape, hovered in the starry sky.

In the void behind the golden flame giant, there was a huge phantom, with countless stars undulating within it, like a universe in itself.

hum!
A vast will descended, and the colossal figure of the Demon Ancestor appeared.

"Originator of the Black Universe, my demon race is willing to offer five supreme treasures as a price to invite you to join the battle!"

The Demon Ancestor's will descended.

"Five supreme treasures? I'm not interested. But if you're willing to give me the Shattering Domain Cone, I wouldn't mind helping you deal with that human."

The golden fire giant opened its mouth.

He is a special life form of flame and possesses the supreme treasure, the Black Cosmic Armor. Why would he bother participating in the war between humans and demons if he has nothing better to do?
If it were another race, such as the Machine Race or the Zerg, he wouldn't mind making a move with the five ultimate treasures.

But what about humans?
Even he was shocked by the Netherworld Lord, who rose from weakness to become the ruler of the universe in just over 20,000 years.

He killed 14 universe lords with a single blow.

It's still soul annihilation!

Even with the help of the most powerful soul-type treasures, and even though these cosmic lords were already injured or severely damaged, it was enough to shock everyone.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see that the power of that attack had reached the seventh level!

In the primordial universe, it unleashed seventh-order power!

Although it is unknown how the Lord of the Underworld managed to do this, such an anomaly is enough to raise alarm.

Even the Mountain-Sitting Guest and the Illusory Demon God aren't making a move, so why is he getting involved?
"A domain-shattering cone? Your appetite is far too great!"

Zhen Yaozu's voice was somewhat annoyed.

The Shattering Domain Cone is his only supreme treasure, and also his Achilles' heel. How could he possibly give it to anyone else?

"If we can't give it, then let's go back to where we came from."

……

Some remote place in the universe.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest watched from afar. After dismissing the Dream Demon Ancestor, he chuckled and said, "Trying to win over lone travelers? If Xu Zhen, E Zhou, and Hei Zhou were that stupid, they wouldn't have survived to this day."

……

In the vast starry sky, the projections of the wills of the Mechanical Father God, the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Tremor Demon Clan, and the Zerg Queen appeared.

"Even the True God of Ezhou is unwilling to participate in the war."

The Zerg Queen's voice was gentle, but there was a hint of anger in it.

"The talent displayed by the Lord of the Underworld is too heaven-defying, even stronger than that of the Primordial Ancestor. It is normal for them to be wary. If it were not for the sake of the clan, I would not be willing to offend him."

The mechanical god sighed.

In their entire era of reincarnation, there are only a dozen or so of the strongest beings in the universe. Apart from the nine top forces, there are very few lone strongest individuals.

They tried to win over figures like the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the True Demon God, the True God of Calamity, and the Lord of the Primordial Island, but none of them were willing to make a move.

In fact, many people were even watching the spectacle with amusement.

For example, the progenitor of the demon race, the strongest being in the universe who was once driven out by the combined forces of the Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor, was ridiculed.

"Think of another way! At least we need to stabilize the Northern Frontier Alliance first, and then win over a group of idle Universe Lords. If all else fails, we'll have to take forceful action."
