Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 508 Defeating the King of Wu? Soul Inheritance!
"A figure? Who is he?"

Qin Ming looked at the Holy Soul General with a solemn expression. He did not believe that this third trial would be easy!
The first two levels of challenges.

The first level requires 90,000 times the gene count.

The second layer: Solve the 10081st Rhino King puzzle!

It is no exaggeration to say that most eternal true gods could not do this, and this is only the test of a universe lord, or the law lord in the Origin Continent.

The third level, how could it be so easy?
"That is the phantom of my Wu Kingdom's ruler in his youth! He will maintain the same level of strength as you. If you can defeat him..."

Or, if you can hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you've passed.

The voice of the Holy Soul General was filled with longing and sighs, as countless memories flooded his mind, making his voice somewhat hoarse.

Even though countless reincarnations have passed.

But everything from the past still seems to echo before my eyes. Back then, the Wu Kingdom was incredibly powerful and thriving.

As the ninth prince of the Wu Kingdom and its invincible general, he led the Creation Sky Ship to conquer far and wide, expanding the territory with unparalleled might.

How delightful those days must have been!

But suddenly things took a sharp turn for the worse!

The entire Wu Kingdom was destroyed in an instant. Only he and a small group of people escaped in panic, fleeing into the cosmic sea to fight for their last chance of survival!
"The ruler of Wu?"

Qin Ming's heart sank.

He had assumed that this phantom was no ordinary person, but he never expected it to have such a powerful background!

The ruler of Wu is most likely at the second level of the God King realm!

How powerful must such a strong person have been in their youth?
Qin Ming was indeed confident, but to contend with such an existence, it was impossible for him to have absolute certainty.

But looking into the eyes of the Holy Soul General, Qin Ming felt a surge of heroic spirit.

Young God King?

So what! We'll only know after we've fought!
"Alright! Where to fight? How to fight!"

Qin Ming suddenly stood up, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky. When he created the eleventh-order secret technique, he had no rivals in this vast universe.

It would be perfect if a young god-king fought against him!
"Hahaha, you don't actually think we're going to fight His Majesty right now, do you?"

Seeing Qin Ming's appearance, the Holy Soul General couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Your talent is indeed exceptional, capable of creating a twelfth-order secret technique, and your will has reached the level of an eternal true god. Even in my hometown, you would be considered a peerless genius."

"But with your current strength, you are still far from enough to fight against the King of Wu when he was young!"

Seeing the displeasure in Qin Ming's expression, the Holy Soul General's laughter gradually subsided.

"After you were reincarnated, you lost your memories of cultivation and forgot many things, but don't you know the difference between our hometown and this cosmic sea?"

"The so-called strongest beings in this cosmic sea are nothing more than true gods! The cultivation traditions here are too simple and weak, even if you obtain a portion of Duan Donghe's basic inheritance."

"With such a meager inheritance, you think you can compare to the young King of Wu?"

"The king has been well-versed in the secret techniques of the armory since childhood, and various top-notch inherited secret techniques have emerged one after another."

Even the core inheritances of the Broken East River technique, namely "Broken," "East," and "River," would only be considered ordinary core secret techniques within the Wu Kingdom's armory.

"If you don't master such a secret technique, how could you possibly be a match for the ruler?"

A series of words left Qin Ming speechless.

indeed!

He was indeed confident, but in terms of inherited knowledge and skills, he was no match for the young Wu king. This was not a matter of talent.

It's an environmental issue!

No matter how talented a master of the universe may be, compared to the geniuses of the Origin Continent, they are naturally far inferior in terms of knowledge and secret techniques.

Putting everything else aside, just take "The Broken" as an example!
This is the core inheritance of Duan Donghe, a set of super-burning divine power secret techniques that can burn the entire divine body within three seconds!

This power is far greater than normal, and it might only take a second to end the battle, or it could stop the burning immediately!
Moreover, during combat, they can better control their power to attack their opponents with precision.

With such a secret technique, even if the opponent's understanding of the laws and their willpower are weaker than one's own, they can still defeat one instantly.

Besides these, there are also secret flying techniques like "Donghua," which, once activated, can transform into a beam of light, incredibly fast, and even easily penetrate layers of space.

How is this played?
There are no top-tier secret techniques in the basic inheritance of Duan Donghe.

His most powerful secret technique is the self-created twelfth-order secret technique "Life Universe".

Once unleashed, it can easily cover an area of ​​hundreds of light-years or even larger. In battles within the life universe, he can suppress enemies to his heart's content and unleash super combat power.

But that's all.

Even in his most proficient area of ​​soul manipulation, he only managed to create a set of eleventh-order secret techniques, since he had focused his main efforts on the Rhinoceros Emperor's Technique and the Divine Power Flow in recent years.

"Life Universe" is also a product of analyzing the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau, and is more for comprehending the laws! As for combat, I haven't really experienced much of it.

And what about the other party?

There are no shortage of powerful opponents on the Origin Continent!

They will have no shortage of secret techniques such as divine power burning, willpower, and soul.

From this perspective, it is almost impossible for him to defeat his opponent.

wow——

With a wave of his hand, the Holy Soul General caused the surrounding environment to suddenly change, transforming into a sky full of stars, which flowed within it in an extremely mysterious trajectory.

Countless stars shone brightly, emanating a breathtaking aura.

This feeling instantly reminded Qin Ming of the feeling when he broke through the 10081 times limit of the divine body and entered the core of the original universe's will, when countless points of light were shining around him.

"This is the martial arts arsenal of my Wu Kingdom. Each of these billions of stars represents a secret technique passed down through generations. Among them, there are 1.8 billion that can be considered the core techniques!"
The most essential ones number 81.

The Holy Soul General smiled at Qin Ming, and then spoke softly.

"For ordinary inheritors, the assessment will be very simple. Even if you inherit the heritage of my Wu Kingdom, as long as you comprehend a core inheritance and gain some understanding, you will be fine."

"In the years to come, we will gradually increase our strength and then gain higher authority."

"Defeating the phantom of the young king is something even I cannot do!"

"But you're different!"

"You have directly inherited all the legacies of my Wu Kingdom, including its most precious treasures and so on."

So, make your choice!

"Choose one from all the core inheritances to defeat a ruler of the same level! He will use the same secret technique as you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the endless stars around him burst into light.

At the same time, a message entered Qin Ming's mind, instantly making him understand what the secret techniques within the endless stars before him were.

There are hundreds of categories, including melee, ranged, mechanical, soul, willpower, and even some strange combat styles.

Each category has a large number of subcategories.

What to choose?
Qin Ming's gaze swept over, and his heart skipped a beat.

He is good at many things.

He is skilled in close combat, wielding the halberd of the human form and the hammer and axe of the mountain giant, and he is also quite adept at mental power.

Even in the mechanical field, with his current strength, he can forge the most powerful treasures.

He excels at whichever he chooses.

However, after only scanning the area, Qin Ming's gaze was firmly fixed on the soul category!
He is good at many things.

But its most powerful aspect is undoubtedly its soul!
After obtaining the Myriad Soul Banner, his soul was tempered time and time again, becoming extremely powerful. For a long time, he swept across the world directly with his soul power.

The reason he is able to master many powerful secret techniques and is proficient in many areas is essentially because his soul is strong enough!

The soul is his core focus.

"I choose the path of the soul!"

Qin Ming spoke, and then the endless starlight around him suddenly dimmed, leaving only one star hanging in the sky, emitting light to illuminate the area below.

"Very good! Now that you've made your choice, let's continue down this path."

General Holy Soul was not surprised at all.

Of all the information he had gathered, Qin Ming's most terrifying aspect was his understanding of the soul.

This is a terrifying being that has mastered the cycle of life and death.

Even the Lord of Laws, true gods, and even weaker beings can be reincarnated under his control.

This ability is so powerful that it is beyond comprehension.

"You have three eras! Within these three eras, you can challenge His Majesty's illusory form at any time. If you succeed, you will pass the test and everything will be yours."

"As for failure, then you can only become an ordinary inheritor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a semi-transparent pillar of soul light descended from a star high in the sky, enveloping him as if it were a tangible object.

Qin Ming did not dodge. The moment the beam of light touched the core of his soul, a whisper that seemed to come from the ancient starry sky echoed in his soul: "Arsenal Authority - Activate Origin Soul Inheritance".

Boom~~~
Countless soul runes, shimmering with a deep blue light, surged into Qin Ming's consciousness like a reversed galaxy.

The transmission of the soul begins!
