Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 438 The Netherworld Gate in the Cosmic Sea

The original universe, the original secret realm.

"So you're finally planning to go to the Cosmic Sea?"

A smile played on the rugged face of the giant axe. In the thousands of years since he obtained the supreme treasure, the Dream Scale, he had studied and comprehended it day and night, and his strength had improved considerably.

I've long had the idea of ​​exploring the outer ocean.

In the past, without the most powerful treasures, he dared not take risks in many places.

Even the strongest warriors, who venture deep into the three most dangerous places in the cosmic sea, could still perish if they are not careful.

But with the supreme treasure armor, his ability to protect himself has increased by more than a hundred times.
With Qin Ming also possessing the palace's supreme treasures, if the two of them joined forces, they could sweep through almost all of the three great forbidden lands of the universe sea, except for a very few places!

For example, there are several areas in the Peak Realm that he has long wanted to visit.

There might be some extremely powerful treasures or other great opportunities inside.

But I've never dared to take any risks easily.

"Yes, it's time to venture into the cosmic ocean."

Within the primordial universe, there is no longer any threat to me. The Netherworld, the Heavenly Crafting Hall, and the Hall of All Things can all operate on their own; I don't need to worry about them.

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

Each of his various factions has its own controller and person in charge, and he doesn't usually get involved in their affairs.

The normal expansion of the Netherworld can be maintained by leaving behind a Mother Queen, the ruler of the universe, so that it can function normally.

"I've been waiting for you to say that. I thought you were going to expand the Netherworld completely before setting off."

Giant Axe laughed heartily.

"That was the original plan, but I have a new and better idea. Refining a large number of high-grade and ordinary treasure-level Ten Thousand Soul Banner branches would require too many materials."

Even 100 pieces of materials from the Palm Universe wouldn't be enough.

Qin Ming sighed.

The more he mastered the art of weapon crafting, the clearer he realized how far-fetched his previous ideas were.

The primordial universe was too vast.

Even if he could refine a sufficient number of Ten Thousand Soul Banner branches, it would be virtually impossible to operate such a massive and cumbersome system.

"Materials for 100 pieces of the Pocket Universe?"

Giant Axe's eyes widened. The palm-sized universe that the original ancestor had crafted was composed of a full 36200 parts!
These 36200 treasures have almost completely depleted the essence of humankind.

100 pieces?
The entire primordial universe couldn't produce that many materials!
"It's alright, take your time! How long have you been cultivating? Go to the cosmic sea and broaden your horizons, maybe you'll be able to break through again."

In comparison, the primordial universe was merely a cradle!
It is the cradle that nurtured us, very comfortable, with very low risk.

The Cosmic Sea is the only suitable place for a Lord of the Universe to train and improve.

Giant Axe offered a word of comfort and spoke.

"I understand! This time, I'll explore properly and witness the vastness of the cosmic sea."

Qin Ming laughed.

He had already read the intelligence about the Cosmic Sea many times.

After slaying numerous Universe Lords, Dream Demon Ancestors, and Zerg Queens, and reading their memories, Qin Ming's understanding of the Universe Sea is far deeper than that of most Universe Lords!

But that's just looking at memories; it's not as good as experiencing it firsthand.

The primordial universe was the cradle, the birthplace of life.

But it was ultimately just a cradle.

Even if the primordial star is opened, the strongest treasure that can be born is only at the peak level of supreme treasure, but the cosmic sea is different, where there are infinite possibilities.

Almost all powerful treasures and precious artifacts are born in the cosmic sea.

Deep within the three most forbidden zones, there are many supreme treasures!
The number of ultimate treasures is countless.

If you're lucky, it's not impossible to encounter a divine king-level inheritance comparable to the Duan Donghe inheritance.

"This time, we're not the only ones going to the Cosmic Sea."

Chaos and Darkness have both completed their reincarnations and their strength has increased considerably. They are about to venture into the Cosmic Sea.

This return to the Cosmic Sea will surely shake the entire Cosmic Sea.

"In the vast ocean of space, many races are watching us."

"The giant axe spoke," the giant axe said.

The reincarnated human race, the rulers of the universe, not only have 10081 times the perfect genes, but also possess the talent of creating clones, and each has a Nine Netherworld clone!
Under such circumstances, he could imagine how crazy those universe lords of the human race would be!
For example, the Lord of Darkness.

He was not well-known in the primordial universe, but he was renowned in the cosmic sea.

This was true even before there were clones.

Reincarnated as a special life form, the Soul-Devouring Beast, and possessing a Nine Netherworld clone unafraid of death, it will undoubtedly rampage and slaughter its way through the land.

"Hehe, let them see!"

Qin Ming said dismissively.

There are certainly many forces eyeing human races!

After the Netherworld appeared, the Purple Moon Holy Land, in order to curb the development of the human race, did not hesitate to give up its inheritance to allow the Mechanical Race, the Prison Race, and others to grow as strong as possible.

How could those races in the cosmic sea remain inactive?
Because of reincarnation, the many cosmic lords of the human race never left the original universe, so no matter how much effort those races put in during the first and second reincarnation eras, it was useless.

But humanity, as one of the many masters of the universe, will eventually enter the cosmic ocean.

This return to the cosmic sea is almost certain to stir up a storm.

"Yes, and the Mechanical Race, the Prison Race, and the Demon Race have been outwardly quiet lately, but they've been quite active behind the scenes, racking their brains to win over weaker races and even the strongest lone warriors." As Giant Axe said this, his expression darkened slightly.

He didn't want trouble brewing in his own backyard.

"They were terrified."

Qin Ming smiled.

Over the past few thousand years, human groups have developed rapidly.

very fast!
Whether at the bottom or the middle and upper levels, their strength has seen explosive growth.

The hundredfold expansion of territory has greatly enriched the human race's resources, and the population is surging at an astonishing rate. With a larger population, coupled with the existence of the virtual universe, the number of geniuses has naturally increased accordingly.

The emergence of reincarnation not only caused the original universe lords to surge in power, but also led to the breakthroughs of several universe venerables and universe overlords.

"These newly emerging geniuses need opponents to hone their skills, and it's good to put some pressure on them. When the time is right, we can wipe them out and expand our territory again."

Qin Ming said, and then added.

"My soul river avatar will remain in the original universe, so it can intervene at any time if any problems arise."

"Speaking of which, before heading to the Cosmic Sea, there is one more thing I need to verify."

"whats the matter?"

Giant Axe was somewhat puzzled.

Since defeating the Allied Forces, the human race has become the undisputed overlord of the universe. What can't we do?

The secret realms of those dozens of reincarnated cosmic lords and overlords are mostly not in human territory; they were forcibly occupied.
“It is related to my divine kingdom, which is somewhat special.”

Qin Ming shook his head slightly.

He was thinking about a question.

The Netherworld Divine Kingdom is different from ordinary divine kingdoms. It is not located in the spatial turbulence of the primordial universe, but inside the Myriad Soul Banner.

Then the problem is coming.

If he takes the Myriad Soul Banner out of the Cosmic Sea, can he still locate the Myriad Soul Banner through the Netherworld Gate?

This question is important.

If he cannot locate it, he must choose whether to leave the Myriad Souls Banner in the primordial universe or take it with him on his adventure.

However, if the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is taken out of the Cosmic Sea, the Netherworld may have to shut down.

Without him, his strength would be slightly insufficient.

But if the Netherworld Gate can still locate the Myriad Souls Banner, it means that he can return to the original universe at any time through the Netherworld Divine Kingdom!

It could even allow other universe masters to carry a branch pole.

We can support each other at any time!
The significance of this is self-evident.

The cosmic sea is vast and boundless, but once it leaves the original universe, it can no longer be teleported by the divine kingdom, nor can it be flown through the dark universe.

To navigate the cosmic ocean, one must rely on either teleportation or natural wormholes.

But how vast is the cosmic ocean?

Relying solely on teleportation for travel is extremely inefficient, often taking thousands or tens of thousands of years. While natural wormholes are numerous, they only exist in certain regions.

Moreover, the cosmic ocean is different from the primordial universe, and its coordinates cannot be determined.

Therefore, maps are extremely important in the vast ocean of space, and reference points on those maps are equally crucial. Only by using maps and reference points can one avoid getting lost in the cosmic sea.

If you're unlucky and didn't leave an avatar in the primordial universe, you might get completely lost!

Why would Qin Ming think of teleporting to the Netherworld Divine Kingdom?
Very simple.

The teleportation mechanism of the Netherworld God Kingdom is completely different from that of conventional teleportation. Normal teleportation in the God Kingdom relies on cosmic coordinates, but the Netherworld Gate uses death as its location!

Wherever there is death, the Gate of the Underworld can sense it.

Even without coordinates, you can still open the Gate of the Underworld!
Moreover, when slaying the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen, the Netherworld Divine Kingdom could forcibly pull both the large and small universes located in the Cosmic Sea over.

That is a power from a higher dimension!
Qin Ming then shared his thoughts with Giant Axe.

“Let’s give it a try! If it’s really as you guessed, it would mean a lot for humanity.”

After hearing this, Giant Axe also became excited.

If we can rely on the Netherworld Gate for rapid teleportation, it's not just a matter of improved safety; the scope that humanity's many universe masters can explore will also be greatly expanded!

Once someone discovers the treasure, they can instantly summon their friends to arrive.

"Ok!"

Qin Ming nodded and immediately opened the Netherworld Gate.

Wow!
The Netherworld Gate outside the Toya Black Hole opened, and Qin Ming and the Giant Axe emerged from it, then quickly flew towards the depths of the Toya Black Hole.

Qin Ming was very familiar with the Toya Black Hole, having once cultivated there with the Giant Axe, though they hadn't left the primordial universe in the past.

brush!brush!
Qin Ming and the giant axe flew past the black hole itself.

Easily resisting the black hole's attraction, it flew directly out through the irregular hole in the torn membrane wall... Outside lay the cosmic ocean!
As soon as Qin Ming flew into the cosmic sea, the endless chaotic air currents generated overwhelming pressure, which naturally pressed down upon him.

However, given Qin Ming's strength, he naturally wouldn't care about these things.

Instead, it silently sensed everything within the Netherworld God's Kingdom, attempting to open the Netherworld Gate.

Giant Axe looked at Qin Ming with anticipation.

"how?"
