Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 497 The Second Trial and the Emergence of the Broken East River Inheritance
Rumbling--

Inside the core of the spaceship, within the temple.

A vast divine power descended from the void, supplying Qin Ming's divine body for growth, causing it to expand rapidly. From a divine body already hundreds of millions of kilometers in size, it surged again at an astonishing speed.

The gates of the underworld opened.

The mountain giant's avatar on the primordial planet disappeared, rushed into the Netherworld Gate, and then frantically devoured divine power.

The human main body and its three avatars were all absorbing the energy.

This time, the divine power emanating from the void was incredibly astonishing, allowing Qin Ming to devour it to his heart's content, except that his Soul River clone still hadn't reached its limit.

The other three clones all grew to their maximum potential!
A full 2.4 light-years!

The human body, the World Tree clone, and the Mountain Giant clone all reached a height of 2.4 light-years, and Qin Ming could clearly feel that the World Tree clone was much more agile.

Moving is no longer so difficult.

They can be moved easily as they please, freed from the constraints of plant life.

"2.4 light-years? That's not bad."

Qin Ming was in a good mood.

A divine body with 90,000 times the size of its original form, said to be able to change size at will.

However, in reality, there are still limits.

Infinity is always relative.

Even a divine body 10 times larger still has a limit of 12 light-years.

"It seems that the rules are the same as those in the Origin Continent. In the original timeline, Luo Feng's 10-fold divine body was five times taller than the Infinite Divine Body!"

A thought crossed my mind.

After absorbing enough divine power, the divine body completes its final transformation.

Qin Ming opened his eyes.

Countless galaxies seemed to flow within his eyes, and the aura of the laws governing the universe permeated the air.

"The primordial universe indeed contains infinite mysteries; just observing 10081 primordial stars reveals such profound trajectories."

"If one could truly enter the inner workings of the primordial universe's will and become an incarnation of that primordial universe, what would be the greatest gain?"

Qin Ming sighed inwardly.

This time he really made a fortune. Through the mountain giant's clone, he controlled every primordial star and observed the rules governing the universe within them.

Not to mention that he broke through to a divine body with a power of 90,000 times.

His understanding of the laws was also incredibly powerful.

wow——

Intense spatial and temporal fluctuations enveloped everything, causing the stars to shift and the seasons to change.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, and they appeared in the vast starry sky. The figure of the Holy Soul General appeared in front of Qin Ming.

"Congratulations, Lord of the Underworld! You have passed the first stage of the test in less than 50,000 years."

The Soul General's expression didn't show any obvious surprise.

Qin Ming's success is not surprising.

After all, he was convinced that Qin Ming was the reincarnation of a god-king. Even though he had lost most of his cultivation memories for some reason, he was still the reincarnation of a god-king.

His cultivation speed naturally far surpasses that of any genius.

It would be strange if Qin Ming failed!

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Ming bowed in thanks. If it weren't for the inherited life gene map and the complete divine power inheritance, reaching 90,000 times would not have been so easy for him.

Only when the world of Jin arrives will it be possible to break through to 60,000 or 90,000 times.

"There's no need for that; it's just a normal assessment."

General Holy Soul smiled.

He did offer some convenience; normally, the inheritance wouldn't be given before the assessment is completed.

However, this assessment was not a regular assessment.

How could a regular assessment possibly allow someone to break through to a divine body 90,000 times stronger in a million years?

This assessment is not for accepting disciples, but for finding a successor to the Wu Kingdom's legacy! Someone capable of inheriting the title of King of Wu!

With a wave of his hand, fine wine and delicacies appeared in the void.

As usual, he poured Qin Ming a glass of 'Ice Heart Wine' and drank with him for a while before the Holy Soul General spoke.

"Now that you've completed the first assessment, prepare for the second one! The second assessment is also very simple; you just need to pass the 10081st Rhino King round."

"Rhinoceros Bureau?"

Qin Ming nodded; the first test, the Divine Power Flow test, was the foundation.

The second challenge, the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, tests one's comprehension. The Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation was created by an ancient and powerful being from the Origin Continent, the 'Rhinoceros Emperor,' before his demise, using all his strength.

This being is extremely famous even in the Origin Continent, and many powerful god-kings like to use it to select their juniors and disciples.

Although at first, when the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game was first revealed, countless powerful individuals regarded it merely as a form of entertainment.

But it turned out that it required an extremely high level of comprehension!
Furthermore, frequently studying the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation can also improve one's comprehension!
Within the Jin World, the way to directly obtain a titled inheritance and become the master of the Jin World is through the Nine Thousand Times Divine Body and by passing the 10081st Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau.

That's right, the Rhinoceros King's Game has a total of 10081 basic endgame puzzles.

There are 10080 puzzles in total; completing them will reveal the ending.

As for the so-called 10081st endgame... it is a game without an endgame.

In other words, you have to create this situation yourself!
"10081 round, huh? That's interesting. Let's go then."

Qin Ming nodded, feeling quite curious as well.

The Rhinoceros Emperor's Game becomes increasingly difficult as it progresses.

In the assessment of Duan Donghe's lineage, as long as 6000 puzzles are solved, one can directly obtain the lineage of Duan Donghe.

After unraveling the mystery across three eras to reach 6000 seats, breaking through to become an eternal true god is effortless.

He can surpass the previous Duan Donghe.

That's absolutely right.

In the original timeline, the Primal Ancestor had solved the game up to game 6002. In fact, the Primal Ancestor's achievements later far surpassed those of Duan Donghe.

He became a god-king level being through his own efforts.

Comprehension is something that cannot be seen or touched, but for the strong, it is one of the most important potential qualities.

"Go! You have 10 epochs to complete the second test once you solve the final puzzle."

General Holy Soul waved his hand.

The surrounding environment changed again; this was inside another temple.

Inside the temple are 10080 stone platforms.

On the stone platform, there are phantom images of cubes, pyramids, or polygons; in short, there is a phantom image on each stone pillar.

In front of these stone platforms stand 123 stone pillars.

The illusory images on these 10080 stone platforms are all illusions.

Those 123 stone pillars have a basic framework. These incomplete puzzles are used to familiarize people with the rules of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game. Completing them is the solution.

The endless mysteries contained within are, in fact, the application of laws.

Or rather, it's a higher-level school of secret patterns.

exactly.

Qin Ming was quite skilled at this, and his ability to deduce the River of Souls was unmatched!

The original human body, the World Tree avatar, and the Mountain Giant avatar all reached a height of 2.4 light-years. After the River of Souls devoured a massive amount of divine power, it naturally expanded as well.

Although it did not reach the 12 light-year limit, it is still a massive 5 light-years away.

Flying to one of the three-dimensional phantoms, Qin Ming stood in front of the stone pillar, his eyes shining brightly. He probed into it with his divine power and began to try to deduce its workings.

The 10th epoch, with time accelerated a million times.

Those were quite long years, and even though the requirement was to solve the 10081 Rhinoceros Emperor Formation, Qin Ming gladly accepted, as it was a good training opportunity for him!

That's right.

In Qin Ming's view, this was a test to improve himself!

"interesting!"

Qin Ming looked at the phantoms; above the River of Souls, countless complex three-dimensional phantoms were drawn around the branches of the World Tree.

Through deduction, Qin Ming quickly figured out the nine most basic rules of the game.

Nine rules, which can be divided into 10081 basic elements. In each miniature solid diagram, each basic element can only appear once on each line...

Ultimately, the three-dimensional phantom formed by the solution creates a perfect cycle, an energy cycle, which exists eternally, indestructible and indestructible.

The nine rules were extremely complex, but Qin Ming smiled.

He excels at these complex rules and intricate deductions.

"And the understanding of the laws, the creation of secret techniques! All are under testing!"

"Let the Mountain Giant's clone return to the original planet. The Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau is important, but the operating rules of the original universe are equally important."

Soon, Qin Ming became quiet and focused on the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau.

Meanwhile, inside the spaceship.

The Flame and Ice Domain.

A tomb-like vessel slowly rises to the surface; the legacy from the Broken East River is finally about to be born.
