Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 476 The Mountain Dweller's Advice: A Head-on Confrontation with the Lava Demon God

wow——

The Netherworld Palace rushed into the God-Slaying Abyss without concealing its aura at all.

Qin Ming even went so far as to expand his soul domain by hundreds of light-years, freely releasing his aura to search for the nine lava demons within.

The Annihilation Valley spans an area of ​​nearly ten thousand light-years.

In some areas, the space was completely frozen without any fluctuation.

The areas that can be teleported are very few.

Furthermore, there are many places that cannot be explored using the Domain Treasure.

But for Qin Ming, this was clearly not a problem.

His soul domain unfolded, and countless souls surged forth from it. Within the domain, everything was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. No matter what opportunity or treasure it was, nothing could escape his sight.

Using this method, Qin Ming traveled forward, exploring along the way, and also acquired several high-level and top-level treasures.

This level of efficiency far surpasses that of the strongest beings in the ordinary universe.

Qin Ming was filled with curiosity about the Lava Demon God.

After all, this is the only known 'life form' in the cosmic sea that has been able to remain active from before the endless cycle of reincarnation to the present.

Its defensive capabilities are simply unbelievable.

That divine body, spanning billions of kilometers, is considered the strongest and most precious humanoid treasure; even top-tier attacks of the tenth rank cannot cause it the slightest harm.

But what about its attack power?

It relies on fist and foot attacks.

It is inherently very clumsy; even some well-prepared cosmic lords can escape it.

"Why don't you ask the hermit sitting on the mountain?"

Qin Ming looked at the endless lava land. He couldn't confirm the identity of this lava demon god, but the Mountain-Sitting Guest could definitely tell. After all, this thing looked like a puppet no matter how you looked at it.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest is none other than the Divine King of Weapon Forging.

Immediately, a wisp of his consciousness contacted the Mountain-Sitting Guest through the virtual universe.

The core of the spaceship.

The mountain dweller sat cross-legged atop the azure mountain peak, gazing solemnly ahead. This region was different from other places; its earth was entirely composed of some kind of smooth, mirror-like metal.

Dazzling lights appeared from time to time in the sky.

The light appeared without any warning. Even the strongest being in the universe would perish if struck by it without armor or supreme treasures.

Moreover, the reflection from the metal on the ground can create a terrifying network of attacks.

If Qin Ming were to witness this scene, he would know that this is one of the most dangerous areas within the spaceship, the 'Aurora Glazed Domain'!
Its level of danger is comparable to the dark places of the Peak Realm.

Even the strongest beings in the universe who possess the most powerful treasures in the palace face a great risk of perishing once they enter, and it is very difficult for them to escape.

"The core control room of the spaceship should be hidden in this golden glazed domain."

Looking into the distance, the mountain dweller saw eight bronze mirrors fly out from the palace treasures floating behind him, reflecting the silently approaching aurora in a special way.

In his previous life, he could have discovered the control room of the spaceship with a single sweep of his divine power.

But now it requires searching bit by bit.

Fortunately, the spaceship had already shattered, and its internal energy and propulsion systems had encountered major problems.

Otherwise, with his current true god strength, he wouldn't be able to enter this area at all.

The reason why the spaceship is called the spaceship is that this super giant ship, which is tens of millions of light-years high and hundreds of millions of light-years long, devours fragmented microcosms in the cosmic ocean.

Powered by the microcosm!
How could the Mountain-Sitting Guest not know that this was the Cosmic Ship's instinctive self-repair, its self-absorbing of energy, attempting to repair the hundreds and thousands of cracks and holes densely covering the ship's hull?

The spaceship exudes an overwhelming attraction, frantically devouring the surrounding chaotic air currents, making the chaotic air currents around it perpetually thin.

That immense attraction drew even the fragmented microcosms in the cosmic sea, swallowing them into an energy processing furnace beneath the spaceship.

Unfortunately, the spaceship was too badly damaged.

Such instinctive repair can only delay its overall collapse at best.

The spaceship was surrounded by enormous rivers of fire, a vast sea of ​​icy air, huge whirlpools of wind, and giant electric snakes tens of thousands of light-years long.

In fact, it's all due to the leakage of the spaceship's energy.

However, if one takes control of the spaceship and actively tries to repair it, there is a sliver of hope that the spaceship can be restored. Moreover, even if it cannot be repaired, there are still opportunities within the spaceship.

They are all masters of the cosmic boat.

"Huh? Qin Ming is looking for me? What is the Lava Demon God in the God-Slaying Abyss?"

The mountain dweller's eyes brightened slightly as the divine power avatar left in the primordial universe entered the virtual universe.

Inside the Starry Sky Temple.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest appeared before Qin Ming and sat cross-legged in front of him.

"You've arrived at the God-Slaying Abyss? That nine-headed lava demon must be some kind of puppet, a puppet used for repairing the spaceship."

"It's the guest sitting on the mountain," he said.

"That's right, repairing the puppet?"

Qin Ming was taken aback, but if he thought about it carefully, this Lava Demon God really did seem like a maintenance puppet.

It is enormous in size and has incredible defense.

It can enter most harsh environments thanks to its special body. It has four huge arms, but it has little offensive power.

What else could this be but a repair puppet?
This even reminded Qin Ming of the black robots he encountered when he entered the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship on Earth.

Although their strengths are worlds apart.

However, it is also made of special materials and has amazing defensive capabilities, but it has no means of attack.

After sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years, it can still start normally.

It can also serve as a defensive measure when faced with invasion by foreign enemies.

That's a repair robot too.

"No wonder these nine lava demons can continue to exist. They maintain each other and are powered by the massive amount of magma in the God-Slaying Gorge."

Good guy.

Could the reason they won't leave the God-Slaying Abyss be because they can't leave the charging area without orders?

Qin Ming's expression was somewhat strange.

"I was even thinking about whether I could subdue them and use them as fighting force against the World Beasts, but they turned out to be just maintenance puppets."

If this thing can be controlled, it would be quite effective against world beasts.

The divine body is billions of kilometers high.

The Beasts of the Realm are too small, so their divine power has little effect on them.

"Control the Lava Demon God? If you can do it, you can certainly give it a try."

The man sitting on the mountain had a glint in his eyes.

Within the 'Aurora Glazed Domain,' the assistance of the Nine-Headed Lava Demon God could be very effective, and might even help in seizing control of the spaceship.

"I'd like to, but I'm not very confident."

Qin Ming shook his head slightly.

Controlling the Lava Demon God is not that easy. If it were that simple, it would have been controlled by the powerful beings of the previous reincarnation era long ago.

This thing appeared much earlier than the Purple Moon Holy Land.

According to the memories of the True God of Awakening, before the Purple Moon Ancestor broke through to become the True God of the Void and went to reincarnation, he also tried to attack the Lava Demon God.

But it still couldn't be completely destroyed.

They are even more impossible to subdue.

"Among the three sets of weapon-refining secrets I passed on to you, the 'Heavenly Net' is used to forge mechanical flow treasures. Within it is a secret method called 'Constructing Myriad Mechanisms' for controlling mechanical flow treasures."

If you can control and suppress the Lava Demon for a short time, you might have a chance using its secret techniques.

After a moment's thought, the mountain dweller spoke.

"Didn't the mechanical god recognize you as his master? He's an intelligent life form, so he can also provide some assistance. Your chances of success should be even greater."

"Oh? I'll give it a try."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

There's nothing about machinery and weapon crafting that Zuo Shan Ke doesn't know.

"Thank you very much."

There's no need for such formalities between us.

……

"go ahead."

Qin Mingshan, the giant avatar of the mountain range, held a pair of divine hammers in his hands, his eyes filled with excitement.

It would be difficult for the human to withstand the Lava Demon God head-on.

But for the mountain giants, it would be much easier.

The mountain giant's armor, a supreme defensive treasure, was a top-grade item chosen by the Awakened True God.

Attacks below level eight are immune, while attacks above level eight are weakened by a millionfold.

With the addition of the Mountain Giant's clone's absolute defensive talent, it can weaken the opponent by another 9000 times. A total of 90 billion times the weakening power!
What a terrifying concept this is!

In the vast ocean of space, no one could harm the mountain giant with a simple physical attack.

In the original timeline, Na Yintuo was able to withstand a blow from the Lava Demon God by relying on a supreme treasure armor and his own talent, which was weakened by ten thousand times and even a hundred million times.

Not to mention Qin Ming's mountain giant clone.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Flying through the Netherworld Palace.

Occasionally, large amounts of lava fall from the sky and crash onto the earth.

This is the most common threat within the God-Slaying Valley.

Some unmelted boulders in magma seas, when falling from great heights, contain enough impact force to kill a cosmic lord instantly.

The most dangerous area in the magma vortex is the annihilation vortex in the center, which can easily kill the Lord of the Universe, and even the strongest being in the universe may perish.

However, this information is available in the Purple Moon Holy Land, so be a little careful.

For Qin Ming, there is basically no threat.

Qin Ming's undisguised flight immediately attracted the attention of some beings.

However, it's not the Lava Demon God, but rather some powerful individuals who adventure and search for treasures in the God-Slaying Abyss. Many such as the Divine Eye Clan would send powerful individuals to lie in wait there.

The probability of finding treasures in the God-Slaying Abyss is very high.

"What a commotion! Who is it? Aren't they afraid of attracting the Lava Demon? They're practically courting death."

Two figures emerged from the deep caves of the black rocky land. A man and a woman from the Divine Eye Clan looked into the distance and whispered to each other.

There are two ways to pass through the God-Slaying Gorge.

Whether traversing an endless sea of ​​lava or advancing through an endless rocky landscape below, along cave tunnels, the dangers vary.

However, those who have been adventuring in the God-Slaying Gorge for a long time generally know how to use caves to avoid danger.

"Not good! It's the Lord of the Underworld! Wu Hun, run!"

Suddenly, one of them changed his expression drastically, and hurriedly retreated back into the cave, fleeing into the depths of the cave without looking back.

Lord of the Underworld!

Upon entering the Cosmic Sea, they annihilated dozens of Cosmic Lords, Awakening True Gods, and four top-tier eighth-order experts, including the Lord of Hao Lei Star.

Who knows if he might just glance at you and kill you?

The order had long been given among all the powerful races.

If they encounter the Lord of the Underworld, they should immediately flee.

Unless one possesses a supreme treasure for soul defense, even the strongest beings in the universe would not dare to show themselves before the Lord of the Underworld, whose deterrent power is as terrifying as that of the peak Primordial Ancestor back then.

"God Eye Clan?"

Qin Ming glanced at the two fleeing figures, but didn't bother to chase after them.

Because Tuo is quite useful to him.

After capturing it, Qin Ming studied its life genes and talent patterns, and deduced them using the "Secret Pattern Record". He was soon able to master its talent.

But what about other universe lords?
Most of them had almost no effect on him.

On the third day after Qin Ming entered the God-Slaying Abyss with great fanfare, he suddenly looked up into the distance and saw an enormous arm appear in the endless sea of ​​lava above.

Following a deep roar, the incomparably majestic Lava Demon God descended from the sea of ​​lava.

"Lava Demon!"

Qin Ming looked over with considerable surprise.

brush!
The mountain giant flew out of the Netherworld Palace, then reverted to its six-armed black crystal body spanning millions of kilometers, and looked at the approaching Lava Demon God from afar, without any intention of dodging.

The mountain giant clone, which had previously appeared incredibly massive, seemed rather insignificant in the face of this lava demon, which spanned billions of kilometers.

"big big big!"

Qin Ming let out a low shout, and his divine body, spanning tens of millions of kilometers, suddenly expanded.

However, it uses divine power to expand its own body.

It also transformed into a six-armed crystal giant spanning billions of kilometers.

How can we control the large differences in body size?

One must be of a similar size to be able to do it.

During the great war in the primordial universe, the Dream Demon Ancestor even transformed himself into a super-large existence exceeding one light-year, but his defensive power would be greatly reduced in that case.

The Lava Demon is extremely fast.

It has already reached the point of 'breaking the law with force', all laws have no meaning to it, and its speed far exceeds the limit of 'hundred times the speed of light', and even exceeds it by thousands or tens of thousands of times.

When the giant of the Qinming Mountains expanded to a distance of 10 billion kilometers, the Lava Demon God had already emerged from the magma sea in an extremely distant place.

boom!
The massive body of the Lava Demon God was already standing on the endless black rocky ground.

The colossal lava demon, billions of kilometers high, stomped on it.

Boom boom boom——

The endless black rocks in the surrounding area were instantly shattered, and the black rock ground over a region spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers was forcibly subsided by millions of kilometers.

The terrifying aura made Qin Ming's teeth ache.

"The power of domination!"

The strongest beings in the universe within the Netherworld God Kingdom, the power of the universe lords, merged into the body of the mountain giant, causing its divine body to boil instantly.

An astonishing power flowed through his body.

But that's not all.

The mountain giant stomped on the ground, its body emitting golden light.

"Earth King!"

It was none other than the Mountain Giant's first talent, 'Earth King'.

wow——

All around, there was an endless expanse of black rock, and the space seemed to be one with the mountain giant.

Furthermore, it possessed boundless power that merged into the mountain giant's body.

With feet firmly planted on the ground, power surges!
This was Qin Ming's first time using this talent in battle. As the first talent of the Mountain Giant, its initial function was to allow the body to merge with the earth and control the surrounding space.

Moreover, it can use its earth-like body to absorb the essence of minerals and metals contained in the earth to enhance its strength and elevate its life level.

Just like the king of the earth.

When creating the "Secret Pattern Record", Qin Ming reduced his third talent, Absolute Defense, from a thousand times to nine thousand times.

How could the first talent, Earth Monarch, not be strengthened?

Almost instantly.

The Lava Demon was already running at high speed, its huge feet stomping repeatedly on the endless black rocky ground, causing the endless rocky ground to tremble.

The mountain giant was not afraid at all and launched a counterattack!

The two enormous creatures rapidly approached each other.

The mountain giant brought down his supreme treasure, the warhammer.

boom--

A terrifying collision sound rang out, and an incredibly violent shockwave instantly spread out, shattering the surrounding space and the black rocky ground.

Qin Ming's mountain giant clone was forced back repeatedly during the collision.

In a direct confrontation, they are clearly at a disadvantage.

And the next moment.

boom! boom! boom!
The Lava Demon's four arms attacked wildly, using no secret techniques, just pure brute force, yet each punch was incredibly heavy.

Its speed is incredibly terrifying.

"Block!"

Qin Ming roared, and spatial ripples appeared on his six black crystal arms.

The supreme and most powerful warhammer crashed down!

Although he was at a disadvantage in a simple contest of strength, Qin Ming was not a barbarian who only knew how to use physical strength!
Under the successive bombardments, countless fragments flew wildly across the black rocky ground, and cracks in the rocky ground spread out to extremely distant places.

"Hahaha! So good! So good!"

Qin Ming laughed heartily.

He had never experienced such a ferocious battle.

No one has ever fought a mountain giant like this before.

The towering, colossal lava demon was covered in scorching magma, and its three eyes burned with boundless, frenzied fighting spirit.

"Well done!"

Qin Ming roared and unleashed another furious attack.

This terrifying power fluctuation immediately attracted the attention of many powerful figures. Qin Ming recklessly released his soul domain, which was noticed by the cosmic lords in this area.

In the far distance, a figure emerged from the trembling earth.

"That's the Lord of the Underworld, who can actually fight the Lava Demon God head-on without being defeated?"
