Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 408 Qin Ming vs. Giant Axe! Slaying the Strongest Being in the Universe

"If it can't be avoided, then let the war begin according to our predetermined path!"

A glint of light flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

beat!
When to play?

Where should I play?

Only by dominating the war can one have a greater chance of winning.

"what do you mean?"

The giant axe's voice became steady, yet he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Before the war began, Qin Ming had told them about a plan.

A plan to slay the strongest being in the universe!

The final transformation of the Myriad Soul Banner requires the presence of the strongest being in the universe to become a truly supreme treasure.

The Myriad Soul Banner and the Qiqu Starlight Lake, the ultimate treasure of the domain category, went head-to-head without being at a disadvantage. In the eyes of outsiders, it is an ultimate treasure, but in reality, it is still a top-level domain treasure.

It was only by relying on the massive number of souls within that it could it barely hold on.

"That's right, we've lured them into a trap!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

"The Netherworld has been initially perfected and matured after 20,000 years of development, but it is currently operating secretly within a small part of the universe within humankind."

"I can send them into the Nine Domains Alliance territory, 'accidentally' exposing the Netherworld Divine Kingdom."

Netherworld God Kingdom!

Even for the Lord of the Universe, the divine kingdom is of paramount importance and the very foundation!
The most crucial step to breaking through to become the strongest being in the universe is for the divine kingdom to transform into a microcosm.

If one loses their divine kingdom, or if their divine kingdom is shattered, it is almost equivalent to their strength being permanently halted, and they will never be able to improve again.

Therefore, everyone will try their best to hide their divine kingdom.

Even between master and disciple, it is taboo to pry into the divine kingdom of another!

If the alliance of the six top powers were to find out, there is a high probability that they would attack Qin Ming's Divine Kingdom at all costs, cutting off its future growth potential.

The fear that the True Demon God, the Calamity Demon God, and others have for Qin Ming is not the Qin Ming of today, but the Qin Ming who will break through to become a true god in the future!

This is using oneself as bait.

"They're not stupid. If they suddenly expose themselves at this time, they'll definitely be suspicious. Moreover, if there's a surprise attack, it's highly likely that it's the Dream Demon Ancestor or the Zerg Queen, who possess powerful treasures like armor and palaces."

How confident are you?

The giant axe stared at Qin Ming and spoke.

"Dream Demon Ancestor, Zerg Queen? As long as I enter the Netherworld, I can forcibly suppress even the strongest among them!"

Qin Ming's expression was full of confidence, and even a hint of longing.

As the Netherworld Kingdom grew larger and collected more and more souls, it became increasingly difficult for Irina to manage it.

Although Irina is a top-tier cosmic overlord, due to her innate characteristic of having ten thousand souls, she is inferior to ordinary cosmic lords in terms of computing power alone.

The Netherworld Kingdom urgently needs a more suitable leader!
As for whether or not it can be suppressed?
The Netherworld God Kingdom is also located in the primordial universe, and its sixth-order limitation still exists.

Logically speaking, gods in their divine kingdoms should use the kingdom's power to oppress and bind their enemies, and the kingdom should also bless them, thus increasing their strength several times over.

However, with the blessing of the World Tree, the blessing can be increased by more than a hundred times!
The 'General Mantuo' of the Ancestral God Cult once obtained a branch from the strongest World Tree. General Mantuo planted that branch in his divine kingdom, and the branch grew into a giant divine tree.

This sacred tree, formed from the branches of the 'World Tree', is called the Tree of Life.

With the oppressive and binding power of the Tree of Life's divine kingdom, it became ten or even a hundred times stronger. The God of Mantuo repeatedly pulled his enemies into his own divine kingdom and killed them.

If the Tree of Life is like this, what about the World Tree?
A super World Tree with a gene multiplication rate of 10081 perfect and a body diameter of tens of billions of kilometers!
This time, after slaying 51 universe lords, more than 50,000 universe venerables, tens of millions of kings, and countless immortals, the Netherworld God Kingdom has exceeded 10 million light-years through continuous absorption!

A divine realm more than ten million light-years away!
Combined with the suppression of the World Tree and the inherent characteristics of the Netherworld God Kingdom, even a True God whose strength was suppressed to the top level of the sixth rank in the primordial universe could not break through, no matter how powerful the treasure.

"Fine! You deliberately sent the World Tree's clone into battle during the great war, didn't you?"

The giant axe laughed.

"If we don't expose them and make things difficult enough for them, how will they believe us?"

Qin Ming chuckled lightly, without refuting.

When fighting against the alliance of the four races, he could have sent the River of Souls into battle, and the effect would have been even better.

However, the River of Souls does not possess the special ability to guard the divine kingdom.

With the World Tree combined with the divine kingdom of an ordinary universe lord, their strength would increase a hundredfold, giving them a certain probability of suppressing the strongest beings. Only this could explain why Qin Ming dared to let the Netherworld Messenger enter and exit.

"Before we take action, I will go to your divine realm to test it out. I will go all out! If there are no problems, then we will proceed according to your plan."

"The giant axe said in a deep voice."

He trusted Qin Ming, but he wouldn't let him take reckless risks.

"it is good!"

Qin Ming smiled confidently.

Before this battle, he was not confident.

However, the Netherworld Divine Kingdom has been growing stronger by devouring a vast number of divine kingdoms, and it is guarded by 52 main souls of universe lords, so its confidence is tenfold!
With the power of domination from the 17 cosmic lords, he can unleash a seventh-tier attack.

So, what level can be achieved by gathering 52 cosmic lords?

"Other plans remain unchanged. We will delay as much as possible to cause the collapse of the Northern Frontier Alliance and suppress other weaker ethnic groups simultaneously."

If the other side falls for the trap, all the better; if not, then let's fight head-on!

The Lord of Chaos City also spoke.

Qin Ming used himself as bait; if he succeeded, he would kill one of the strongest beings in the universe.

For example, the Zerg Queen.

Then the entire Zerg race will perish, the so-called alliance will vanish, and those lone strongest individuals will become even more wary.

Humanity's position as the dominant force in the universe is unshakeable.

However, the probability of its success is still unknown. They can have expectations, but they cannot place all their hopes on it.

"It's natural!"

Qin Ming spoke. Knowing that the World Tree was suppressing them, it was still unknown whether the opponent would dare to rush into the God Kingdom. With the heaven-defying combat power that Qin Ming had displayed, even the strongest being in the universe had a chance of being suppressed.

Find wealth in danger!
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Whether the other side has the courage to destroy the Netherworld Lord's divine kingdom is unknown.

If the other party does not voluntarily enter the divine kingdom, Qin Ming cannot forcibly pull in the strongest being in the universe, let alone the Zerg Queen who possesses the palace's supreme treasures.

"Then let's each do our own thing, we'll cooperate with you..."

……

The Netherworld God Kingdom.

The burly figure of the giant axe appeared, standing in the void with a body spanning ninety thousand kilometers, holding a battle axe almost as tall as the giant axe in one hand.

"You can unleash the power of your divine kingdom's suppression now. I won't hold back. If even I can't suppress it, then it's even less likely that I can suppress the Dream Demon Ancestor, who possesses the most powerful treasure in armor, or the Zerg Queen, who possesses the most powerful treasure in palace!"

The giant axe's voice was calm.

In the primordial universe, although the strength of the universe's strongest beings was limited, only their attack was limited; their defense was not.

The Dream Demon Ancestor is somewhat better.

The Zerg Queen is an eighth-tier True God who possesses a palace and supreme treasures.

How easy is it to restrict or suppress them?

"it is good!"

Qin Ming's human form and his mountain giant clone both appeared.

boom!
The suppressive power of the Netherworld God Kingdom itself, as well as the suppressive power of the World Tree, suddenly appeared on the giant axe.

Giant Axe felt rejected and scorned by the entire divine kingdom.

Above the Netherworld God Kingdom, a full moon formed from the essence of countless souls shone its light upon the giant axe.

wow——

The boundless malevolent energy surged into the giant axe's body, almost causing it to fall into a daze.

The combined malevolent energy created by the 52 souls of cosmic masters, tens of thousands of venerable beings, and countless ordinary souls within the Netherworld Divine Kingdom was extremely terrifying.

After the establishment of the Netherworld, there were eighteen hells specifically for tormenting criminals on trial, making their resentment and malevolent energy even more terrifying.

This was the first time Qin Ming had gone all out.

This was the first time that a powerful figure had fought him inside the Myriad Souls Banner!

"Such a powerful suppressive force, even stronger than the most powerful treasures in the divine realm, such a powerful baleful aura impact! You actually have such a trump card."

The giant axe exclaimed in admiration.

He himself is unsure of just how strong he is now.

Before comprehending the "Secret Rune Record", his strength was already at the top level of level eight. With the help of the completely different mysteries of the "Secret Rune Record", as well as the guidance of many universe lords and even the Primordial Ancestor.

He has already touched the threshold of the ninth rank and created a ninth-rank secret technique!

The strength of his will is evident.

It's unbelievable that I almost fell into a daze.

That wasn't a single will, but rather the impact of countless lives forming a malevolent aura, easily breaking through the sixth-order limit like a combined attack.

"How can I claim to suppress the strongest without enough trump cards!"

Qin Ming laughed.

"Alright! Then you take my move too!"

Giant Axe laughed wildly. The stronger Qin Ming was and the more trump cards he had, the happier he was!
Boom——

The giant axe suddenly exceeded the speed of light and flew towards the edge of the divine kingdom.

"Hahaha, don't even think about escaping from my divine realm."

The giant of the Qinming Mountains laughed loudly, each of its six arms wielding a battle axe as it charged forward, its speed even faster than the giant axe itself.

Under the suppression of the divine kingdom and the World Tree domain, the speed of the giant axe has been greatly reduced.

boom--

The collision between the Mountain Giant and the Giant Axe Founder actually caused the Giant Axe Founder to retreat repeatedly.

With the mountain giant's immense strength and formidable defense, it could even withstand the Queen's Palace, let alone the giant axe in its suppressed state.

"Good timing! But with your clone, you can't possibly suppress the strongest being in the universe!"

"tenth!"

The savage giant with disheveled hair let out a thunderous roar.

"Wow!"

Around the giant axe, phantom images of giant axes appeared in space and time, each phantom image being as vast as billions of kilometers, just like a huge world.

A total of 10 battle axes.

Beneath the ten giant axe phantoms, the incredibly solidified cosmic space within the Netherworld God Kingdom was compressed, and every part began to crack and break apart.

now!

Ten giant axe phantoms, each billions of kilometers away, grinned and then slashed down fiercely!

"Hahaha, then let Giant Axe witness my true strongest combat power!"

"The power of domination!"

Qin Ming laughed wildly, and the souls of the 52 Universe Lords and tens of thousands of Universe Venerables that were suspended in the sky within the Netherworld Space poured into Qin Ming's body like swallows returning to their nests.

Feeling the violent power, the six arms of Qin Mingshan Mountain Giant Axe clone wielded battle axes that evolved into six illusory worlds, each spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space.

"Six Absolute Breakthroughs, Six Realms United, Myriad Calamities Annihilation Axe!"

boom! boom! boom!
The phantom worlds collided wildly in the sky, creating violent explosions.

Upon impact, the giant axe was sent flying backward.

He fell into the river of souls that silently appeared and extended from his body...
