Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 414 The Fall of the Dream Demon Ancestor!
When the World Tree's clone appeared on the battlefield, the previously 'calm' battlefield instantly changed dramatically!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The massive black oval sphere of the Machine Race Father God suddenly unleashed 10081 hunched figures, which instantly charged towards the World Tree.

Under the control of the mechanical father god, these hunched metal figures expanded to a size of a million kilometers in an instant, and became entangled with the World Tree extending from the World Tree, exerting pressure on it.

The various weapons on the eight metal arms were bombarding the area frantically.

The Demon Ancestor, the Crystal Clan Saint Lord, and even the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader all unleashed their full power.

Qin Ming's human form and his mountain giant clone were both completely suppressed.

The giant axe was also held back, unable to concentrate.

The Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and others fought desperately, but still could not reverse the situation.

"The tree world is coming!"

Qin Ming coldly watched all of this, as the branches of the World Tree continued to spread, protecting all the universe lords of the Hong Alliance within them.

The situation improved instantly.

With the addition of the World Tree, its enormous size, exceeding 10 billion kilometers in diameter, can almost block all the aftershocks of energy bombardment, allowing the Universe Lord of the Hong Alliance to attack with peace of mind.

Even though most of the bombardment from hundreds of cosmic lords was annihilated, there were still aftershocks, energy attacks, or soul impacts.

This forces them to dedicate some of their energy to protecting themselves when they attack.

Even so, some weaker cosmic lords would quickly deplete their power, or even perish from the aftershocks.

The attack from hundreds of universe lords was terrifying even in its aftershocks.

With the World Tree, they don't need to defend at all; they can just focus on attacking.

Whether it's an energy bombardment or a soul attack, it will be completely annihilated upon touching the World Tree or even just entering its domain.

The World Tree, with a diameter of billions of kilometers, is far larger than all the universe lords on the Allied Forces side in terms of sheer size!

However, this time, Qin Ming did not enlarge the World Tree as he had done before.

Having taken precautions against the first surprise attack, the coalition forces kept their bombardment at a distance, never approaching within a radius of hundreds of billions of kilometers.

For the ruler of the universe, the power of an attack would not be diminished even if it were separated by billions of kilometers.

This is why, despite being suppressed, the human side did not seem too anxious as the energy field continued to shift.

"Qin Ming, be careful! They're trying to hold off your World Tree clone!"

The giant axe, entangled with the Demon Lord of the Prison Clan, transmitted its voice.

Having experienced the suppression of the Netherworld God Kingdom, he had enough confidence in Qin Ming's strength and knew very well that even without the suppression of the World Tree, Qin Ming's strength could reach the eighth level within the Netherworld God Kingdom.

Even against a top-tier sixth-order opponent, the eighth-order opponent still completely dominates!
Even if they possessed the most powerful treasures, they could not escape the fate of being suppressed.

But at this point, something was not quite right.

The Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen have always remained on the fringes of the battlefield.

When the World Tree was entangled by the Machine Race Father God, the Crystal Race Holy Lord, and others, it vanished instantly.

Among them, the Dream Demon Ancestor was alright, as he acted alone.

The Zerg Queen, however, controls the Queen's Palace, a supreme palace treasure, which houses more than fifty Universe Lords!

More than fifty universe lords, plus the Swarm Queen herself, can unleash a combined attack that reaches the peak of the seventh tier!
Without the World Tree to suppress it, it remains to be seen whether Qin Ming's Netherworld Divine Kingdom can effectively control the Zerg Queen who controls the palace's treasures.

Even if they manage to suppress it, killing it is almost impossible.

If the Kingdom of God were to encounter problems, it would be an absolutely unbearable loss for humanity.

"I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

Qin Ming sneered, still harboring absolute confidence.

The World Tree clone was held back.

The 10081 puppets of the Machine God were all comparable to supreme treasures. Even after growing to a million kilometers in size, they were still insignificant compared to the World Tree.

There's definitely no problem getting entangled with it.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Qin Ming to bring the World Tree back to the Netherworld God Kingdom.

However, during the battle with the giant axe, his Soul River clone did not actually make a move!
at the same time.

Within the territory of the Nine Domains Alliance, in a prosperous star system.

boom!
Space tore open, and a purplish-black queen's palace and a silver-white serpent flew out from it.

Spacetime was frozen, and countless lives throughout the galaxy seemed to have been put on pause.

This includes a newly opened gate to the underworld, from which a soul-reaping messenger is about to fly out.

The universe's strongest being's control over spacetime is something these Soul Reapers, with their mere immortal strength, simply cannot withstand.

"Charge in! Destroy his divine kingdom!"

Amidst the enchanting voice of the Zerg Queen, the Queen's Palace rapidly shrank to a hundred meters before instantly rushing into the Netherworld Gate.

The Dream Demon Ancestor followed closely behind.

When the Dream Demon Ancestor also rushed in, the frozen spacetime around them returned to normal.

The gate to the underworld that had been opened closed instantly.

This isn't the only place.

The Netherworld Gates, which spanned most of the Nine Domains Alliance and even the heartland of the human race, were all closed.

……

The Netherworld God Kingdom.

Rumbling--

The moment the Zerg Queen stormed into the palace, she saw the scene inside the Netherworld Kingdom, a small world with tens of thousands of portals.

One by one, the gates of the underworld opened, and a large number of souls carrying soul-summoning banners rushed towards this place, staring in disbelief at the Queen's Palace and the silver-white serpent that had broken in.

"This is the Netherworld Divine Kingdom? Using its own divine kingdom as a transit point, how arrogant! Destroy it!"

The shrunken body of the Dream Demon Ancestor rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant python a million kilometers long, emanating a terrifying aura.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The mere aura emanating from it shattered the souls of the thousands of immortal soul-reapers in this small world, causing them to vanish into thin air.

The Queen's Palace accelerated wildly for millions of kilometers, smashing this world to pieces. They didn't bother with any passages and started the destruction directly!
"Destroy his divine kingdom completely!" The Zerg Queen's voice rang out, and this scene was also shown to the Mechanical Father God, Zhen Yaozu, and others on the battlefield through their divine power avatars left outside.

boom!
The small world shattered, and the Queen's Palace and the Dream Demon Ancestor 'saw' another world.

An incomparably vast divine realm!
It is hundreds or thousands of times larger than their divine kingdom when they were the rulers of the universe.

A terrifying suppressive force surged in from all directions, a suppressive force far stronger than even the most powerful treasures in the domain!
However, this was not what made the Zerg Queen and the Dream Demon Ancestor feel a chill in their hearts.

When they burst out of their small world, they found themselves in an ocean stretching for countless billions of kilometers.

An ocean composed of countless soul energies!
"This is... the River of Souls?"

The Zerg Queen felt a chill run down her spine.

Within the Northern Frontier Alliance exists a unique life form, the 'River of Souls,' which is as special as the World Tree.

As a top cosmic overlord, its size is also tens of millions of kilometers.

But compared to what lies before us, that river of souls is far too insignificant.

In an instant, they understood why the Soul Clan collected souls, and where those vanished souls had gone.

"Dream Demon Ancestor, Zerg Queen, we've finally waited for you."

The vast river of souls surged, and Qin Ming's figure, thousands of kilometers high, solidified, his face beaming with a smile.

His gaze was greedily fixed on the Dream Demon Ancestor and the supreme treasure of the palace, the Empress Palace, just as an old farmer saw the fruit that had finally ripened in his field.

"It's really a trap!"

The Zerg Queen felt a chill run down her spine, but she didn't panic too much.

This was something that was expected.

Qin Ming dared to expose his divine kingdom, so he must have some powerful trump card as bait.

The appearance of the Soul Clan and Qin Ming's talent in the soul had led them to suspect that Qin Ming had another clone, but they never expected it to be such a vast river of souls.

Judging from its size, it is at least hundreds of billions of kilometers long.

It is far larger than the World Tree. In the entire primordial universe, perhaps only the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds can surpass it in terms of divine body.

"So what if it's the River of Souls? Dream Demon Ancestor, destroy this divine kingdom!"

The Zerg Queen let out a shriek, and the already rapidly advancing Queen Palace suddenly accelerated, about to burst out of this River of Souls.

She possesses the most powerful and precious treasures in the palace, and she herself is pursuing a breakthrough through the path of the soul.

How could we be afraid of a mere River of Souls?
Not to mention that there are more than fifty universe lords in the Queen's Palace. They only need to break out of this area to bombard it and completely destroy the foundation of this divine kingdom!
However, Qin Ming smiled as he watched the Queen Palace and the Dream Demon Ancestor struggling to 'fly' within the River of Souls while their divine bodies were burning.

Laughing unrestrainedly.

Knowing that the other side might launch a surprise attack, how could he not be prepared?

From the very beginning, all the small worlds of the Netherworld Gates in that region of the Nine Realms Alliance were located within the River of Souls.

As soon as they break in, they will be suppressed by the combined power of the River of Souls and the Netherworld Kingdom!
"The power of domination!"

Qin Ming gave a soft shout.

The 52 souls of the Universe Lords who had been waiting instantly merged into Qin Ming's body. Even the souls of the 8 Universe Lords who had just fallen and completed their refining, led by the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader, merged into his body.

One man becomes an army!
The violent soul power caused Qin Ming's soul to feel a strong tearing sensation, but this tear was instantly healed by the influx of the soul's essence.

Tearing, healing.

Back and forth.

The fifth-tier Myriad Soul Banner's special ability—Netherworld Regeneration!
As long as the soul essence within the Myriad Souls Banner does not dry up, it can quickly repair any injury to the soul, including the tearing of the soul by the power of domination!

Qin Ming's gaze fell upon the Dream Demon Ancestor.

“If the Zerg Queen were to enter alone in her palace, it would be somewhat troublesome. But for Dream Ancestor, your decision to charge in is tantamount to courting death.”

The Supreme Treasure Armor can generally ignore attacks below the seventh rank and will not harm the divine body.

Some powerful ones can even ignore attacks below the eighth rank.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng obtained the armor formed from the fifth team of Wu-killing wings in the cosmic sea.

Attacks exceeding the limit will be weakened by the divine armor to one millionth of their original value.

Furthermore, the divine armor has an extremely high limit, and none of the strongest beings in the universe can reach that limit.

Therefore, it is impossible for the strongest being in the universe to be killed by the matter of the strongest being in another universe, even if they possess the ultimate treasure armor.

This is true even in the cosmic ocean.

However, this is limited to physical attacks!

The palace's most powerful treasures can guard the soul and greatly weaken soul attacks.

The Supreme Treasure Armor's reduction of soul attacks is far from sufficient.

Even the Dream Demon Ancestor, relying on his supreme treasure, was only a seventh-tier universe's strongest being.

"The River of Oblivion, the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

Qin Ming remained calm.

Through the cycle of six realms of reincarnation, he created the Netherworld and sent countless lives through reincarnation to create the strongest soul technique, a soul technique that integrates the impact of willpower!

When his gene multiplication reached 10081 times, the innate secret technique 'Soul Domain' bestowed upon him by the primordial universe possessed a portion of the ability to impact willpower.

He just never used it.

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the River of Souls began to burn wildly.

Throughout the entire Netherworld God Kingdom, countless whispers and wails of life seemed to echo, while the full moon of souls shone upon the body of the Dream Demon Ancestor in the sky.

Endless malevolent energy and the impact of will, accompanied by a terrifying soul shock, pierced through the Dream Demon Ancestor's supreme treasure armor, 'Dream Scales,' and landed squarely on the silver-white serpent's body.

Under the horrified gaze of the Zerg Queen, the Dream Demon Ancestor's body trembled violently.

He collapsed silently.

The strongest being in the universe—the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Fall!
