Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 444 The Enraged Purple Moon Ancestor
The one who kills me is the Lord of the Primordial Universe!

The Lord of Deer and Insects perished, but unlike the Lord of Floating, who did not suddenly send out the news before his death.

Almost simultaneously with Qin Ming's act of killing the deer worms, four figures instantly flew out from within the Empress's palace.

A wild laugh erupted from the giant axe's rugged face, and then it charged directly into the endless sandstorm, instantly flying at more than a hundred times the speed of light towards the nearest cosmic lord.

clang!clang!clang!
Countless pebbles bombarded the giant axe's scale armor at an astonishing speed, but they only made some noise and could not cause any real damage.

"cut!"

The giant axe raised its battle axe.

Suddenly, giant axe phantoms appeared in the surrounding space and time. Each giant axe phantom was as vast as billions of kilometers, like a world in itself!

Then, eight giant axe phantoms, scattered in all directions—up, down, left, right, front, and back—directly struck an ancient castle.

The intense bombardment caused the entire fortress to tremble, completely out of its owner's control.

"The Giant Axe Founder? Humans, how dare you attack my Purple Moon Holy Land? The Purple Moon Holy Land will not let you get away with this!"

The Lord of White Sands roared in anger, but his heart was filled with fear, and he wanted to control the palace's treasures to escape.

The deer has perished!
The Lord of the Deer and Insects, who possessed the most powerful and precious armor and whose will had reached the level of the strongest, had actually perished!

Even from a great distance, he felt his heart tremble at the sudden burst of soul attack.

"We humans will not let the Purple Moon Holy Land go!"

With a cold snort, the giant axe appeared next to the palace's treasure and then kicked it out.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the palace's treasure flew directly into the soul realm, rushing towards the Queen's Palace, which had split open the abyss's gaping maw and was unleashing overwhelming suppressive power.

Even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to kill a Lord of the Universe, whether by fleeing far away or hiding in a palace treasure.

The strongest beings in the universe are incredibly powerful, yet they cannot shatter top-tier palace treasures, let alone harm peak-level palace treasures.

To kill it, you either need to use a soul attack to kill it through the palace's treasure.

Alternatively, they could only be forcibly suppressed within the palace's treasure. For non-primitive universe life forms, bringing them back to the primitive universe would inevitably lead to their death.

Alternatively, they could simply be thrown into one of the three most dangerous and perilous areas, where the natural environment would obliterate the treasures of the pinnacle palace.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming is not only skilled in soul attacks, but also possesses the most powerful treasure in the palace.

"No!"

The Lord of White Sands stared in despair at the ever-growing maw of the abyss.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the three clones of the Chaos City Lord roared and charged out.

Whether it was a humanoid avatar of the Flame God Clan or a colossal beast avatar radiating endless spatial and temporal fluctuations, they all flew towards a single opponent.

wow——

In mid-air, domains suddenly unfolded.

The Lord of Chaos City knew very well that with his strength, he was not afraid of the Universe Lord of the Purple Moon Holy Land, and could even suppress him.

But to kill?

almost impossible!
However, for the Lord of Chaos City, simply keeping him occupied was enough.

"escape!"

Lord Yulan, Lord Huanhua, and Lord Haihua had no intention of getting entangled with the Lord of Chaos City.

The sudden demise of the Deer Insect Lord terrified them.

The burst of power from the giant axe sent chills down their spines.

By this point, how could they not realize that this was a trap?

The fall of the Lord of Floating was not a natural crisis at all, but a soul attack by the Lord of the Underworld!

"Don't even think about killing me!"

The Lord of Yu Lan, with his two faces and four arms, went mad. He was well aware of the difference in strength between himself and the Lord of the Deer and Insects.

Whoosh!
He actually used teleportation!

Using teleportation within the Inner Peak Realm is extremely dangerous, let alone in an already extremely dangerous area like the Flying Sand Domain.

This is no different from courting death.

But the Lord of Yulan still did it. He might have a slim chance of survival by teleporting away, but if he stayed behind, he would surely perish.

Almost the instant the Lord of Yulan teleported, the area where the Lord of Huanhua was located was enveloped by the Chaos City Lord's domain.

Under intense spacetime fluctuations, teleportation is simply impossible.

boom!
After instantly killing the Lord of the Deer Insects, Qin Ming swiftly flew over, his soul domain enveloping the Lord of the Washing Flower, instantly annihilating him.

"Unfortunately, two of them escaped."

Qin Ming sighed, looking with some regret at the two figures that had vanished into thin air.

They're too far apart!
The Lord of Haihua and the Lord of Yulan were both extremely decisive, and immediately teleported to save their lives when they sensed something was wrong.

The Lord of Chaos City only managed to entangle one of them.

"Haha, that's enough! This time, we killed four Universe Lords from the Purple Moon Holy Land, and even Lu Chong perished. That should be enough to make the Purple Moon Holy Land feel the pinch for a while."

The founder of the giant axe flew over and laughed loudly.

They couldn't possibly chase after someone who could teleport away in such a dangerous place as the Inner Domain of the Peak Realm, as it was far too perilous.

If you accidentally teleport to a dangerous area, even with the most powerful palaces and treasures, you could still perish.

Qin Ming wasn't that foolish to put himself in danger just to kill a universe master.

"It's a pity I'm still a bit slow, but there will be plenty of opportunities to hunt them down in the future. As the other universe lords of humanity, we will eventually encounter them."

"We'll teleport there then!"

The Lord of Chaos City also felt some regret, but his eyes were still full of joy.

How could a top-tier cosmic ruler be so easy to kill?

If that were the case, all the cosmic rulers would have died long ago.

The Lord of Chaos City himself had encountered the true gods of the first and second reincarnation eras many times.

They could escape using the supreme treasures of the peak palace or by means of teleportation.

"Yes, this time we've made quite a haul." Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

Immediately after the two returned to the Queen's Palace, the palace moved rapidly and flew away into the distance.

Once your strength and identity are exposed, there's no point in staking out anymore.

The Universe Lord of the Purple Moon Holy Land is not stupid; he would never come alone. If he were to appear, it would surely be in a large group.

……

Purple Moon Holy Land, Purple Moon Cliff.

"The one who kills me is the Lord of the Netherworld of the Primordial Universe!"

The avatar left behind by the Lord of Deer and Insects suddenly let out a desperate roar before shattering, astonishing the group of universe lords.

Almost simultaneously, the Lord of White Sands also sighed.

"I was attacked by the Human Giant Axe Founder and fell into the Queen's Palace. The giant axe was very powerful, at least at the eighth rank..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the avatar of the Lord of White Sand shattered and perished.

"Avenge us!"

The Lord of Huanhua cried out in despair as his divine body shattered.

In a short time, three universe lords fell from the Purple Moon Holy Land.

No, it should be four!
After teleporting, the Lord of Haihua gave a bitter laugh and fell into the endless flames, burning even his palace and treasures.

After holding on for a short while, he also perished on the spot.

Teleporting in dangerous areas within the Inner Peak Realm is not that simple. If you're unlucky, you might be sent directly to some perilous place by the distorted space and still perish.

The Lord of Haihua is just like that.

Of the five universe lords who explored together, only Lord Yu Lan managed to survive and told everyone what he had seen.

"How is this possible! A mere universe lord, yet his soul attack is this powerful?"

Juehua Zhenshen's face was gloomy.

He was also on his way to the Flying Sand Domain, but he was on a spaceship, so it would take him a long time to get there.

He was well aware of the deer worm's strength.

If it weren't for the limitations of the Holy Land universe, the Deer Insect would have already broken through to the level of a True God in the Primal Universe.

But the deer-insect still perished, instantly killed by a soul attack!

It can instantly kill a sixth-order universe lord who wears the most powerful treasure armor, possesses the most powerful soul domain treasure, and whose will has reached the level of the strongest in the universe!

Even an eighth-tier true god who excels at soul attacks cannot do that.

This means that the human Netherworld Lord's soul attack has reached at least the ninth level!
"The Lord of the Underworld killed the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen with a soul attack in the primordial universe. Although at that time he was in his divine kingdom and had great support."

However, his soul attack power is undeniable, and coupled with his supreme treasure of the soul domain, it is not surprising that he could achieve this.

Let's send him back; we can't do anything to him.

Beside the True God of Awakening, another powerful figure, also radiating the aura of a True God, whispered.

"Another Primordial Ancestor! Even more terrifying than the original Primordial Ancestor. He has only cultivated for tens of thousands of years..."

The True God of Awakening was wary, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

His inner universe had long been shattered, and his strength had regressed instead of improved. Even if he made a move, he would not be a match for Qin Ming.

Even with the support of the supreme treasure, without the blessing of his inner universe, he could only unleash the power of the eighth rank.

In the original timeline, none of the eight overlords of the cosmic sea were true gods of the holy land.

Suddenly, the cold voice of the Purple Moon Ancestor came from above Purple Moon Cliff.

"Issue the order that whenever the Lord of the Universe of the Purple Moon Holy Land encounters the Lord of the Underworld, they shall all retreat! However, since humans dare to break with us, let them know the price."

We hereby declare to all major powers in the universe that since this human has provoked our holy land, from this moment on...

"The primordial universe's human race, the masters of the universe, each one who enters the cosmic sea, my Purple Moon Holy Land will kill one of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the cosmic lords and true gods of Purple Moon Cliff knelt down.

"Yes, ancestor!"

"Furthermore, we will select five people from among the quasi-universe masters and have them break through."

"Yes!"

The True God of Enlightenment bowed and responded to the call.

Although the Purple Moon Holy Land is a holy land universe, its capacity to bear weight is still limited. Each universe master is a huge burden on the smaller universes.

Once a certain limit is reached, it cannot be increased further, otherwise it will harm the Holy Land universe itself.

Therefore, some of their understanding of the laws has long been perfected, and they are ready to enter the ranks of 'masters of the universe' at any time, but they cannot advance because they cannot obtain divine power from the source of the universe in the holy land.

Ultimately, they can only be trapped in the ranks of the 'Universal Venerables'.

This is the quasi-universe master.

Once a race's universe lord falls and a vacancy becomes available, a new universe lord can be chosen from among them and quickly become the new universe lord.

Among these quasi-cosmic lords, some have even lived through hundreds of reincarnations or longer, and their willpower has been tempered to a very high degree.

The fall of a few universe lords is nothing to the Purple Moon Holy Land.

It can be replenished at any time.

Of course, if the most powerful treasure is lost, then it's truly gone.

Even in the Purple Moon Holy Land, supreme treasures are still extremely rare.

"The Lord of the Underworld? This person's situation is strange. I have never heard of the Underworld, a treasure that can collect souls and complete reincarnation, in any sect in my Origin Continent!"

In the void, the Purple Moon Ancestor's expression was gloomy.

"But with me here, you can forget about rising to power! The primordial universe can only be mine! This treasure will ultimately be mine too!"

"Once the kill order is issued, the other universe masters within humanity will surely complain. Furthermore, by supporting the primitive universe's mechanical race, the demon race, and others, we can create chaos in humanity's rear."

"Trying to outmaneuver me? You're still too green!"
