Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 486 The Primal Universe Will Descends, the Holy Soul General

Before the majestic golden temple, Qin Ming and Zuoshanke both looked up.

The temple was majestic, nearly a hundred light-years high, and even a behemoth like the Lava Demon God appeared tiny in its presence.

Its gate is more than 10 light-years away.

The gate was tightly shut, and when the Lava Demon stepped forward, he could not budge it even with all his strength.

"The core temple of the spaceship is essentially a mechanical treasure, not much inferior to the spaceship itself. It cannot be opened by brute force."

The Mountain Guest looked at the Lava Demon God, who was trying to push it open with his own authority, and spoke.

The Lava Demon God inside the spaceship was merely a low-level maintenance puppet. Although it was tough and thick-skinned, it protected Qin Ming as they passed through the outer 'Aurora Glazed Domain'.

However, it is impossible to open this core temple.

How do you plan to activate it?

Qin Ming looked at the Mountain-Sitting Guest, whose strength was beyond doubt.

But even after reincarnation, he will still be a true god.

"Hehe, I left some tricks behind before I reincarnated. Although I'm not good at killing enemies, I have a unique way of dealing with these mechanical treasures."

It's simple.

Simply awaken the 'spirit' of this spaceship.

Since this core temple has been left behind, it will naturally leave behind a legacy, but there will likely be many trials involved.

As the mountain dweller spoke, a black palace flew out from the green mountain behind him, radiating light that enveloped the majestic temple.

Rumbling--

The majestic temple seemed to be activated, and a deafening roar came from inside.

Is this the Jinwang Palace, the divine treasure of the Mountain Dweller?
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes. The Star Tower was a God-King level palace treasure that the Mountain-Sitting Guest had 'refined' for his disciple, and he naturally also had a God-King level palace treasure.

That is, the Prince of Jin's Palace!

In the original timeline, the Mountain Guest had said that even if his small universe was devoured by the Beast of Realm, it wouldn't matter, as he could still ride the Jin King Palace through reincarnation.

For the Mountain Dweller, the primordial universe and everything within the cosmic sea are utterly irrelevant.

If he wanted, he could break through to become a Void True God at any time and then go to explore the cycle of reincarnation. Staying in the primordial universe was just a prelude to waiting for a disciple who could avenge him.

After waiting for a moment, a look of joy suddenly appeared on the face of the man sitting on the mountain.

He turned to look at Qin Ming beside him.

“It’s alright. I’ve communicated with the spirit within, and he’s willing to give you a chance to receive the inheritance.”

Rumbling--

Suddenly, an incomparably majestic will hovered above the towering temple, and that terrifying pressure instantly changed the expressions of Qin Ming and Zuo Shan Ke.

The Primal Cosmic Will!

That familiar feeling, looking down from above, was none other than the primordial will of the universe!
"You want to stop me from obtaining the Spaceship's legacy?"

Qin Ming looked up at the sky and roared angrily.

"You want me to fight against the Beast of the Realm, but you won't let me obtain a powerful inheritance? If you're unwilling to give it to me, then you won't let me obtain it myself!"

Those are a billion World Beasts!

The gaze of that majestic will seemed to hesitate before settling on the mountain dweller.

The cosmic vessel contains a core temple, which the primordial cosmic will is well aware of. This temple is under its control, and it has no intention of allowing it to be born.

It controls most of the treasures inside the spaceship.

Although Qin Ming amassed many treasures with the help of the nine Lava Demons, they were only a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning at all.

But the core of the spaceship is different.

It is one of the most prestigious inheritances in the entire universe. After countless reincarnations, the cosmic ship has served as one of the three most dangerous places.

But what was obtained was merely ordinary inheritance.

In order to deal with the crisis of the World Beasts, it also planned to guide one of the God King's inheritances to be born, but not the most core Cosmic Ship inheritance.

This also poses a threat to its inheritance.

But it hesitated when it heard Qin Ming's words.

World beast!

That was the greatest threat to it, besides the Mountain Dweller.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest has the ability to seize control of another's body and take its place, and the Beast of the Realm can also devour its essence, causing it to enter the cycle of reincarnation prematurely.

Even if the Beasts devoured everything in their path, they could not completely destroy the origin of the primordial universe.

However, once the original source of the universe is severely damaged, a new consciousness will be born, which will also be a fall for it.

call--

The vast, condensed will slowly dissipated, only glancing at the Mountain-Sitting Guest before disappearing completely, letting out a warning-like roar.

The mountain dweller showed no fear.

If he were to possess the primordial universe and reveal the secrets of the Origin Continent, the will of that primordial universe might have reason to cause him trouble.

But it's just about finding an opportunity.

The core of the cosmic ark is right there. Theoretically, every true god could discover it, but the original cosmic will deliberately blocked it.

How could this possibly violate the supreme rules?
When the primal will fades away.

"Boom~~~"

The temple's towering gates, stretching over ten light-years high, were slowly and rumblingly opening.

The gate emitted a dazzling array of colored lights, making it difficult for Qin Ming to look directly at it. An endless pressure emanated from the temple.

"go in."

The way of the mountain dweller.

Qin Ming nodded and flew in without further ado.

He didn't know how the Mountain Dweller had managed to awaken the dormant temple, but even alarmed the primordial will of the universe.

It contains a legacy that is absolutely extraordinary.

However, when he tried to control the nine lava demons to enter, they were blocked by an invisible force and could not enter at all. Qin Ming had no choice but to give up.

call--

As they flew into the temple, the stars shifted and the constellations changed.

A vast, icy world, where the sky and earth are shrouded in a desolate expanse.

A cold wind blew by, chilling the air, and endless snowflakes fell, making Qin Ming feel a chill that came from the depths of his soul.

Qin Ming looked around, then slowly descended and stood on the ice and snow.

This icy world seems to stretch on forever.

wow——

The soul domain spread out, covering an area of ​​more than ten light-years. The mountain giant's clone gripped its warhammer tightly, while Qin Ming's human form rested on the mountain giant's shoulder, holding the Broken Army Halberd upside down.

Surrounded by his supreme telekinetic weapon, the 'Heaven-Shaking Shuttle,' he didn't know what the temple's assessment was or what dangers it might contain, so he naturally gave it his all.

"boom!"

In the icy world where wind and snow howled, a huge rumble suddenly sounded, and a powerful energy shockwave spread in all directions, instantly sweeping across an endless area.

Qin Ming sensed the tremor and looked up. He saw icicles emanating a cold aura descending from the sky above the distant ice and snow world.

A magnificent ice and snow altar was formed on the earth.

Just as Qin Ming was filled with doubt, in the sky of the icy world, endless snowflakes suddenly condensed into ice crystal characters, and those crystal-clear characters exuded a monstrous killing intent.

Under the influence of that killing intent, even Qin Ming, with his strong will, couldn't help but have his eyes turn slightly red, and his heart seemed to be roaring incessantly.

"This is the Frost Altar. Stepping onto the Frost Altar qualifies one to begin the inheritance; those who fail are forever condemned to perish." "Within ten thousand years, those unable to enter the altar will be annihilated!"

Those who seek refuge in palace-type treasures to avoid battle will be considered defeated and annihilated!

The ice crystal characters floated in the air, radiating endless pressure.

A long corridor of ice and snow extends from the ice and snow altar all the way to Qin Ming's feet.

"A test of willpower?"

Qin Ming chuckled lightly; this was his greatest strength.

If even he can't do it, then who can?

The mountain giant raised his massive body and stomped heavily on the icy steps, instantly blurring the surrounding scenery and making him feel as if he had fallen into extreme cold.

There was only one staircase stretching endlessly ahead.

Meanwhile, ice gathered on the steps, and a transparent phantom seemed to be looking down from above.

The transparent, illusory figure's gaze fell upon Qin Ming.

boom! !
A powerful surge of will directly impacted Qin Ming.

"An impact of the will of a cosmic lord?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly; his will had already reached the peak level of a Void True God.

After honing his skills for ten thousand years under the million-fold time acceleration of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, he is only a tiny bit away from the level of an Eternal True God.

This level of mental strain was nothing to him.

As for that feeling of being ice-cold all over, he could see through it at a glance; it was just the use of soul power and illusion, and it had no effect on him.

Whoosh!
Qin Ming leaped forward, advancing along the icy steps toward the altar.

"Om-"

As it continued to move forward, the impact of will emanating from the phantom grew stronger and stronger, soon surpassing the limit of the Lord of the Universe and reaching the level of the strongest being in the universe.

Eighth rank, ninth rank, tenth rank!
As one's will is challenged, the illusions within the icy corridor grow stronger, with endless phantoms appearing, tempting one to give up and fall into depravity.

"Give up, you can't succeed."

"Go back! You'll die!"

"Don't go! It's a trap! It's death!"

Qin Ming remained relaxed. This illusion was very clever; when it was released, it naturally targeted the weakest point in one's mind, causing people to give up and retreat.

However, the power involved was too 'weak'.

Even the will of a top-tier tenth-order cultivator was nothing more than a gentle breeze to Qin Ming.

Void Gods are generally divided into eleventh to thirteenth ranks, and those who can create a fourteenth-rank secret technique can become Eternal Gods.

At this moment, Qin Ming's will was at the peak of the thirteenth level!

wow——

When Qin Ming appeared on the last step of the Ice Altar, his will surged suddenly, reaching the eleventh level, but Qin Ming remained unmoved and easily stepped onto the altar.

"Congratulations! You have successfully stepped onto the Frost Altar and are now eligible to undergo the first stage of the Creation Ark's assessment!"

boom!
Qin Ming felt that spacetime was distorted, and he was traveling through endless layers of spacetime. When he came to his senses, the icy altar under his feet disappeared and he appeared in a new place.

"Ok?"

Qin Ming looked around.

This is a forest where birds sing, flowers bloom, and birds sing. In the distance, mountains stretch endlessly, many of which are even taller than the giants of the mountains. Occasionally, the roar of a beast can be heard, creating a feeling of vibrant life.

"Is there still life left on the spaceship? What kind of test is this next?"

Qin Ming whispered.

"A spaceship? No, this is the Creation Ark!"

A majestic voice rang out.

"Ok?"

Qin Ming was startled and immediately turned to look.

The earth rumbled, and an invisible energy suddenly descended, condensing into a man clad in golden armor, radiating intense pressure.

This is a seemingly ordinary human man.

Like Qin Ming's original human form on Earth, it had black eyes and yellow skin, and at first glance, there was no difference between them.

Qin Ming looked at the male phantom that resembled a human. The golden armor on his body had intricate patterns, and at first glance, the armor seemed as vast as the entire universe.

He looked at Qin Ming with a rather strange expression.

"I have waited through countless reincarnations, but no one has entered the lineage of the Holy Soul Temple, and I have finally fallen into a deep sleep. I never expected that one day I would be awakened on my own initiative."

You may call me Holy Soul Wu!
You may also call me the Holy Soul General.

Qin Ming bowed slightly.

"I've met senior."

"There's no need for that. I've already perished. This is just a wisp of my consciousness. I perished when I piloted the Creation Ark into the Cosmic Sea."

The Holy Soul God General remained calm.

Entering the cosmic sea was a last resort for survival, and he knew that his chances of surviving were slim.

Although he can perform the secret technique of reincarnation.

He eked out a living in the Origin Continent, but in the end he decided to take the Creation Sky Ship for one last gamble. If he could successfully enslave the World Beasts, then perhaps he could avenge his father.

To avenge the state of Wu.

But in the end, he still failed.

Like countless others who entered the cosmic sea in the past, fighting for their last chance, they failed and didn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.

Qin Ming remained silent.

The person before them appeared to be the controller of the Cosmic Ship, or perhaps it should be called the Creation Sky Ship. The consciousness left behind was actually the same as the phantom in the Duan Donghe inheritance.

"I knew at the time that my chances of success were slim. But the Creation Ark contained the last legacy of the Wu Kingdom, and I didn't want the Wu Kingdom's legacy to be completely severed."

Therefore, the tradition was passed down.

With your talent, if I hadn't fallen, you could have joined the core of my Wu Kingdom simply by passing the Ice Altar assessment, but I have already fallen.

We need more than just one core disciple.

However, the requirements for disciples who can inherit the Wu Kingdom's legacy are completely different.

The Holy Soul General spoke slowly.

"If you accept the test, it means you will also have to accept the karma of my Wu Kingdom! After you pass through the cycle of reincarnation, you will face the most terrifying siege by the king of the kingdom."

Are you clear about this?

Qin Ming nodded without hesitation.

He had already guessed this.

To be able to destroy a divine kingdom and force a Chaos Ruler to flee into the cosmic sea in a spaceship, one must have offended an extremely powerful being.

For example, the state of Shi, which destroyed the state of Jin.

The ruler of Wu is stronger than the Mountain Guest. The existence that can destroy him must be extremely powerful, especially with the encirclement and suppression by the king of the most powerful country he mentioned.

Qin Ming roughly guessed that this was probably one of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Leiting Ancient Kingdom in the Origin Continent, and only these two kingdoms could be called the strongest!
But so what?

If he hadn't offended an insurmountable enemy, how could he have risked everything to venture into the cosmic sea and fight for the last chance of survival?
Opportunities are often intertwined with risks.

"I see!"
