Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 420 The War Ends! The Ownership of the Supreme Treasure

Giving one of the most powerful treasures to the giant axe was not a whim of Qin Ming, but the result of careful consideration.

The power of the giant axe is beyond doubt.

Qin Ming suspected that the giant axe might have reached the ninth rank if it went to the Cosmic Sea.

However, his defense is indeed lacking.

If the original timeline had included a set of supreme treasure armor, the three—Lord Haolei, Ancestral God Qiuyan, and King Zhenjia—might not have been able to blast the giant axe into the Dark Land.

The giant axe wielding the divine axe can reach the top level of the ninth tier in terms of attack power.

However, its defensive capabilities are far inferior.

Addressing the weaknesses will make the giant axe even stronger, which is a good thing for both Qin Ming and humanity.

Furthermore, this battle wasn't fought by him alone.

Whether it's the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos, the Dark Teacher, or even all the Lords of the Universe, they are all entitled to a share of the spoils.

Although the two strongest fighters were killed by themselves, Giant Axe and his team also deserve credit.

Giving a giant axe would be appropriate.

The slaying of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen will inevitably cause a huge uproar in the primordial universe and even the cosmic ocean.

The scene of the small universe falling after the fall of the Dream Demon Ancestor must have been seen by all the universe lords, and it has probably already been spread outside through divine power avatars, clones and other means.

Furthermore, the fact that the two strongest individuals lost their cosmos after their deaths cannot be concealed.

Devouring miniature universes!

This would cause panic in the primordial universe, and even in the cosmic ocean.

An existence that hunts down other universe masters, or even the strongest beings in the universe, to strengthen its own divine kingdom, will inevitably arouse fear and hostility in others.

In addition, the Divine Eye Clan and the Purple Moon Holy Land in the Cosmic Sea might face collective resistance.

Qin Ming was mentally prepared for this when he lured the enemy into the trap.

So what if we're exposed?

The Myriad Souls Banner has completed its transformation.

Furthermore, the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen have moved into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, along with hundreds of Universe Lords.

With his current strength, he is no longer afraid of anyone or any force.

Others should be worried!

He is strong enough, but other strong humans are not.

Qin Ming's strength lies primarily in the realm of the soul.

In terms of secret techniques alone, the strongest move is still the top-tier sixth-order secret technique.

In terms of direct combat ability, it is far inferior to the giant axe.

As for whether the giant axe will disappear into the cosmic ocean waves after it gets the armor?
Giant Axe isn't stupid!
The only danger is that, like in the original timeline, one might unknowingly encounter the three old guys—Lord Haolei, Ancestral God Qiuyan, and King Zhenjia—deep within the Qingfeng Realm.

Therefore, Qin Ming planned to strike first.

If the Lord of Yuan'ao returns from the Cosmic Sea with the Black Wood artifact as in the original timeline, killing him would suffice, and his memories could be read.

If they don't come back, then go directly to the depths of the Peak Realm with Giant Axe and deal with those three old guys first!
Hao Lei Star Lord, Qiu Yan Ancestral God, and Zhen Jia King are all eighth-order True Gods. Given Qin Ming and Giant Axe's strength, there is a high probability that they can kill them directly.

All three of them possess extremely powerful treasures.

For example, the supreme treasure of the Thunder Star Lord, the Thunder Star Armor.
After killing them, we can not only obtain a large amount of spoils, but also get some information about the Beasts of the Realm in advance.

Of course, these things will take some time.

The primordial universe is its foundation.

After this battle, the Netherworld can step out from behind the scenes and into the limelight.

……

primordial universe.

"Chase!"

"Don't let them get away!"

Riding on the palace treasures, the humans and the universe lords of the Hong Alliance shouted loudly and continuously bombarded the allied palace treasures within their domain.

Under the suppression of the dual-layered domain treasures, the palace treasure's flight speed was greatly reduced, and it would soon be caught up.

However, it is clear that the strongest being in the universe is protecting him.

This level of pursuit is merely a way to vent anger and cannot cause them any real harm.

After the mechanical race's father god, the demon lord, and other cosmic lords escaped the domain's range, they stopped and gathered together at a great distance.

Without the domain's suppression, they can leave at any time.

"Holy Lord! You deserve to die!"

The Demon Lord glared angrily at the Holy Lord, wishing he could strike immediately.

If he hadn't deserted in the face of battle, releasing the true form of the Lord of the Underworld, the Prison Clan's supreme palace treasure would never have been suppressed by humans.

Seeing the Demon Lord's eyes blazing with fury, the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord remained silent.

This was indeed his fault.

But even if he had to do it all over again, he would do the same thing.

If he continues to entangle with Qin Ming's human form, it might be his Crystal Clan that gets suppressed.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

There's no need to think about how to do this kind of thing.

"Demon Lord! Your people have only been suppressed, not perished. We have already lost this battle; we cannot afford further internal strife!"

The mechanical god spoke.

He didn't mean to blame the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord. Even if he hadn't run away, the Northern Frontier Alliance Leader had already fled with his men.

When the Dream Demon Ancestor fell, they were already defeated.

The Demon Lord's eyes turned bloodshot, but he calmed down and ultimately did not actually make a move.

He knew very well that without the help of his clansmen, he could not be a match for the Holy Lord.

"Humans! Lord of the Underworld! They all deserve to die!"

The Demon Ancestor's eyes were filled with endless pain.

The Dream Demon Ancestor has fallen!
A close friend who grew up with him and went through countless adventures and life-or-death situations.

This is tantamount to cutting off the biggest pillar of the demon race.

The prison clan is only being suppressed; perhaps there's still a way to redeem them.

In war, the focus is on victory or defeat, and humans will certainly fight to the death.

However, even after defeat, they can still gain more benefits through those cosmic lords.

Just like when the Lord of the Coffin was captured, the humans didn't kill him, but instead demanded benefits.

The Dream Demon Ancestor perished, but he truly died.

Even now, he still can't believe that the Dream Demon Ancestor could have perished in the primordial universe.

"We have already lost this battle, and we must consider what comes next! Let's see how the humans handle things. And what about the Zerg Queen? If she can escape, that's fine. But if she's suppressed or perishes..."

That would be a big problem.”

The mechanical god sighed.

The most tragic group in this battle was not the demon race, nor the prison lord, but the insect race!

Although they suffered some losses, it only weakened their strength.

Within the treasured palace of the Swarm Queen reside the only six Swarm Universe Lords.

If the Zerg Queen were to fall or be suppressed, it would mean the extinction of the Zerg, one of the six dominant races in the primordial universe!
The fate of the Nine Realms Alliance is a prime example.

How could humanity possibly let go of the core territory occupied by the Zerg?

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

If the Zerg Queen, who possesses the most powerful treasures in the palace, were to truly perish, it would mean that the Lord of the Underworld could easily kill them even in the primordial universe.

"How could the Zerg Queen fall so easily?"
This battle ends here, unless the other strongest lone dinosaurs in the original universe and the universe masters of the Idle Race unite to attack humanity.

Otherwise, there would be no chance left.

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance spoke up, his expression also quite unpleasant.

Originally, he only intended to pull the Lord of the Galaxy along for a while, but he didn't expect to get himself into trouble.

The rise of the human race is unstoppable. Even if humans cannot deal with him now, they will definitely cause him trouble in the future.

Being targeted by a terrifying being capable of slaying the strongest being in the universe would send chills down anyone's spine.

As the group was talking, their expressions suddenly froze.

The Zerg Queen's divine avatar has dissipated.

……

"Won!"

"The coalition forces have left."

The universe lords of the Hongmeng stood within their domain, gazing into the distance. They saw the palaces and treasures of the allied forces rapidly disappearing into the distance, and soon sensed spatial fluctuations, indicating that they had all teleported away.

This immediately caused the human side to cheer and celebrate.

The pressure on the human race's cosmic lords was immense, given that there were three times as many cosmic lords as the opposing side, and a total of seven of the strongest beings in the universe.

Many of the universe lords who joined, such as the Lord of Profound Fire, were actually considering obtaining the inheritance and improving their weapon-refining skills, and they could accept defeat even if they were defeated this time.

After all, the potential of the Lord of the Underworld is undeniable.

Humanity will inevitably rise again in the future.

Who would have thought that humanity had so many trump cards up its sleeve? The Netherworld Lord's strength was far more terrifying than imagined, directly killing the Dream Demon Ancestor and turning the tide in one fell swoop.

Amidst the cheers, a spherical palace treasure suddenly appeared in Qin Ming's human form.

wow——

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, the spherical palace treasure suddenly expanded, swallowing the Prison Clan's peak palace treasure, which had been entangled and suppressed by the World Tree's avatar, into its contents.

Queen's Palace!
When he saw the Queen's Palace, even the giant axe's pupils shrank.

Even the palace's most precious treasures were taken by Qin Ming; the fate of the Zerg Queen was predictable.

Humanity, the master of the universe, was extremely excited.

The eyes of the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, and others gleamed; from this day forward, humanity also possessed a supreme treasure!

"The Zerg Queen has fallen! Humanity has won this battle!"

Qin Ming put away the Empress's Palace, and his voice echoed in all directions.

All the strongest lone wolves and the cosmic lords of the idle races who had been secretly watching stared blankly at the Queen's Palace before retreating one by one.

……

The war is over.

All the universe lords in the Hong Alliance went to the palace complex at the core of the Primal Secret Realm, and their guards and servants also rushed back via divine teleportation.

A lavish celebration banquet then began.

After the banquet.

The alien universe lords had retreated, but the human universe lords gathered together, each sitting down with undisguised joy in their eyes.

"This time, humanity has won a great victory! From now on, humanity will be the undisputed overlord of the primordial universe!" The giant axe's voice was deep and resonant, tinged with a sense of awe.

"In the beginning, our human race was weak. Our ancestor led us to rise from among billions of races, making our race the pinnacle. But later, our ancestor was suppressed by the primordial universe."

"Though I yearn to lead humanity to prosperity, I am powerless to do so!"

"Until today! Humanity has once again produced an unparalleled genius. Qin Ming's appearance has made humanity stronger day by day, and he has even slain the strongest being in the universe!"

Even the giant axe felt a pang of regret.

When the original ancestor was suppressed, the burden of humanity fell entirely on his shoulders, and the pressure on him was unimaginable.

That was the darkest era in human history.

All factions are retreating to avoid being besieged by other groups.

In order to prevent humans from being feared.

He diligently cultivated in seclusion, and even though his true combat strength had long exceeded the eighth rank, he still dared not reveal his strength, for fear of attracting too many covetous eyes.

All the lords of the universe turned their gazes toward Qin Ming.

They all knew very well how much Qin Ming had contributed to humanity, and they understood even more what it meant to be able to kill the strongest being in the universe.

"Qin Ming deserves the greatest credit for our clan's great victory this time." The founder of the giant axe looked at Qin Ming, "We should all toast Qin Ming."

"Yes, we owe it all to Qin Ming this time."

"Yes."

Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Qin Ming; even the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Qianwu smiled and raised their glasses.

Using his own divine kingdom as bait, he lured and killed the strongest.

The risks involved are undeniable.

Qin Ming also raised his glass with a smile: "Speaking of this calamity, it was because the Three Races Alliance was wary of me that things escalated, so there's no need to talk about any merits."

"How can strengthening humanity be considered a mistake?"

"Your talent is exceptional, and given that you've been attacked by the three-race alliance, it's only natural that we need to intervene!"

"Here, cheers."

"Come."

Qin Ming smiled and agreed to each one.

Then Qin Ming put down his wine cup, and a suit of armor made of scales appeared in his hand, exuding an astonishing aura. He said, "This battle is over."

The spoils of war from all sides also need to be distributed.

"I'll accept the Empress's Palace, but you, Giant Axe, can keep the Dream Demon Ancestor's supreme treasure armor."
