Chapter 252 The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls? That's the Banner of the Human Emperor! (!)
Upon entering immortality, the infusion of divine power into the body was not a significant event.
However, within War Base 028, many people noticed the announcement: "The source of lightning has descended; someone has broken through to immortality!"
"This is the base of the Blazing Flame Squad. Could it be Candi? He's the only one in their squad who follows the path of the fundamental law of lightning."
Many realm lords who were familiar with Candy looked on with envy.
Immortal!
For the vast majority of realm lords, immortality is the ultimate pursuit.
Once one breaks through to immortality, it means eternal life. Returning to one's home world, one can become the ruler of a medium-sized cosmic kingdom, and from then on, one's power and prestige will be awe-inspiring.
Even the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was just an ordinary immortal.
"How did he suddenly break through?"
"It is indeed a bit strange. They just accepted a pharmacist of the World Lord level. Shouldn't they be celebrating?"
How did you suddenly break through?
"Could it be because of that apothecary? Before we went back, he said he was skilled in soul potions—"
"Impossible! It must be a coincidence. There's no such thing as a magical potion—"
"Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to break through?"
"Is Candy from the realm of gods? How could he break through?"
"Let's go offer our congratulations!"
Inside the Realm Lord's Hall, hundreds of thousands of Realm Lords were discussing the matter animatedly. Some looked on with envy, while others were filled with disbelief.
Some people hesitated, but the world lords were very clear about the humans from the Divine Kingdom, the Secret Realm, and the Cosmic Kingdom who constituted the outer battlefield.
Especially for many veteran realm lords like Candy, who have spent hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years in the extraterrestrial battlefield, do they really not know that they cannot break through?
Just think about it, and you'll know it's impossible.
It's just an unspoken issue.
Take the 'Candy' realm lord for example; his strength has already reached its limit. If it were a human from the universe, he would probably have already broken through.
Over the course of millions of years, he had dealt with countless realm lords and was comrade-in-arms with many others.
These people include humans from the Cosmic Kingdom, humans from the Divine Kingdom, and humans from the Secret Realm.
There will naturally be exchanges during leisure time.
Over the long course of time, many realm lords will naturally break through to immortality.
A quick count reveals that there isn't a single human from a divine realm here!
Who wouldn't have doubts?
Those who can cultivate to the level of World Lord are all top geniuses, one in a billion; no one is a fool.
At this moment, many people have doubts.
What a coincidence!
It hadn't been broken for a million years, but Qin Ming broke through as soon as he arrived.
However, among the humans of the divine kingdom, there were still some who had broken through to immortality, which made them only have doubts.
However, the next moment!
boom!
Another booming sound came from the direction of the Blazing Flame Squad's base, as the Earth Origin Law descended!
"Another breakthrough?"
"Impossible! There's definitely something wrong!"
"Quick, let's go check it out!"
The many realm lords, who had initially only harbored doubts, were suddenly shocked and looked incredulously toward the direction of the Blazing Flame Squad's base.
Some of the more impatient ones simply vanished as a streak of light.
If it's just one person making a breakthrough, it might be luck or a coincidence.
But two people?
There's definitely a big problem here!
It hadn't been broken for a million years, but now it's broken through two at once?
"They broke through again?"
Qin Ming was also somewhat shocked. He had only given the five members of the Blazing Flame Squad ordinary Spirit Nourishing Potions!
Based on his estimation within Chaos City, this single Spirit Nourishing Potion would at most increase their soul power by 20-30%.
He was already somewhat surprised that Candy could break through immediately after consuming the medicine, given his improved understanding of the laws.
But then the four arms of the Dark Gara clan also broke through, which is a very small probability.
"No! Although I have done some experiments before, I used ordinary realm lords from secret realm missions, while Candy and the others are realm lord generals who have been fighting in the outer battlefield for millions of years!"
They have fought countless battles and are even able to defeat ordinary immortal gods.
His understanding of the laws had already reached its limit, but he hadn't absorbed enough "soul essence" during his gestation period. His soul was inherently weak and lacked potential, which was why he had never been able to break through.
At this moment, this Spirit Nourishing Potion gave them a boost.
And so we crossed that hurdle!
Qin Ming's eyes gleamed. No amount of simulation in Chaos City could compare to one experiment.
How many realm lords like Candy are there in the extraterritorial battlefield?
The human race alone has tens of millions of World Lords at War Base 028!
Of course, most of the realm lords here are just ordinary realm lords or elite realm lords.
The mortality rate of realm lords in the seventh battlefield is 96.8%, and the ratio of those who are cultivated is about 20:1. People like Candi, who have extremely profound foundations, are even fewer who can survive for millions of years in the extraterritorial battlefield.
The entire War Base 028 is estimated to have no more than 5 personnel.
But there are as many as 1100 war bases like 028 in the outer battlefields!
That means at least 5000 million!
What an outrageous figure!
If they could all take the Spirit Nourishing Potion, at least half of them would be able to break through and become immortal powerhouses.
Moreover, the Spirit Nourishing Potion, which enhances the essence of the soul, can be taken repeatedly. Although the more it is taken, the less effective it becomes, it can still ultimately improve one's spiritual state.
If multiple doses are taken consecutively, how many people in the outer battlefield will break through to immortality?
This is an absolutely terrifying number.
It needs to be calculated in the hundreds of millions!
"There's still too little data to make an accurate judgment. But the general direction should be correct."
Looking at Candy and Demon Hammer, who were immersed in absorbing divine power, Qin Ming thought to himself.
The ideas in my mind are becoming more and more mature.
Qin Ming had conceived the idea of allowing the strongest members of the human race to absorb the souls of their enemies during hunts when the Myriad Soul Banner was upgraded to the sixth rank.
I pondered this for a long time while I was in Chaos City.
This not only allows him to quickly collect more souls, but also helps alleviate the pressure!
Why?
Because once someone is devoured by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, they cannot be resurrected!
Once a soul is enslaved, it cannot be resurrected; this is a rule of the original universe.
In the past, he only hunted during secret missions, and no one would care about these things.
Even if they hunt down some ordinary realm lords or immortals in the outer battlefields, no one will care.
Because neither the human elite nor other races would generally resurrect ordinary immortals; even the resurrection of a Marquis-level immortal depends on luck.
But being granted the title of king is different!
This time, Qin Ming will definitely hunt down a large number of King-level Immortals!
Given the efficiency of the Netherworld, once the snowball starts rolling, a massacre will likely break out on the outer battlefield.
The gates of the underworld opened, and a large number of souls burst forth.
Given enough time, it will inevitably be exposed.
Once it is discovered that he cannot be resurrected, he will be targeted by any powerful race in the universe, whether it be the Zerg, the Demon Race, or the Machine Race!
But Qin Ming's need for a soul is too great.
The battlefield outside the domain is no longer a battlefield exclusively for the four top races.
The Hongmeng Alliance, led by humans, the Mechanical Alliance, led by the Machine Race, the Zerg Alliance, and the Demon Alliance will all send powerful individuals to enter.
That's too offensive!
Qin Ming felt that he couldn't handle it alone.
Since we can't handle it ourselves, can we change our perspective and let the human race bear it?
This was an idea of his that was not yet fully formed.
By crafting a super-weakened version of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the dead souls from the battlefield can be collected into it.
He would take the lion's share according to the profit-sharing ratio, with a small portion going to the others for the raw materials used to make the medicine.
For example, I can take 90% for myself!
Kill ten realm lords to obtain a Spirit Nourishing Potion.
Or perhaps, a higher-level immortal soul potion.
Don't think Qin Ming is greedy. If these conditions were offered to the outside world, they would definitely attract the attention of all the powerful figures!
They entered the extraterritorial battlefield solely for the purpose of killing.
Furthermore, there were military merit requirements; one had to kill a certain number of enemies before being allowed to retire.
The 96.8% mortality rate in the Seventh Battlefield is no joke.
Killing enemies will increase your strength!
Everyone will go crazy!
The reason for prioritizing the Realm Lord group is that Realm Lords have the largest number of powerful individuals, making breakthroughs with them the most effective!
Now it seems that this idea is indeed feasible.
Doing this would be very risky.
But the returns will also be substantial!
"Don't rush, my plan is still too rough, and my strength is not enough."
"To expand comprehensively, I should at least wait until I've killed a group of powerful kings and strengthened my forces before considering it."
Qin Ming's eyes were thoughtful.
He doesn't plan to release too many soul potions in the short term; this is just for some experiments.
This level of achievement wouldn't attract the attention of other top-tier clans.
It was even more impossible to imagine that it was Qin Ming.
After all, apart from his senior brothers, teachers, and the Lord of Chaos City, he had never shown his talent as a pharmacist to outsiders.
In fact, besides collecting enemy souls,
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls can also collect the souls of its own people!
After advancing to the sixth rank, the Netherworld Space granted Qin Ming another terrifying ability.
That is resurrection!
By using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to collect the souls of his fallen comrades, he can resurrect them!
The method is also very simple.
It's not a resurrection by reversing time, but rather creating a body for them through the Netherworld Blood Sea, and then putting their reassembled souls into it.
Then let the Myriad Souls Banner release it from its control.
What is the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?
If Qin Ming were to release this function, it would become the Banner of Heroes and the Banner of the Human Emperor!
It will definitely cause a violent shock to the human race and even the entire primordial universe.
These things have such a huge impact!
Qin Ming didn't dare to release it easily, at least not when he wasn't strong enough.
Even if he were to unleash his full power now and reach the level of an invincible king, it would still be far from enough. He would still fall short even of the strength of a venerable.
"Bian Que, your Spirit Nourishing Elixir is too powerful! I can feel that my soul has been greatly enhanced, and my understanding of the laws has become much clearer."
The snake woman opened her eyes, and her gaze towards Qin Ming was shining brightly!
That feeling of spiritual elevation was simply wonderful.
Although she didn't make a breakthrough, she could feel her strength and potential improving.
"Brother Bian Que, do you still have any of this Spirit Nourishing Potion? I'd like to buy another one!"
