The Zerg Overlord Who Devours the Starry Sky

The spacetime of the Infinite Chaos Space is too heavy. Even with the Dao of the insect swarm at the semi-chaotic level, it is still possible to forcibly tear out a spacetime travel channel.

But the speed is still too slow.

It took nearly a hundred days for the leading insect hive tyrant to finally reach the border of the cultivator's territory.

This territory has been occupied.

Occupied by a special race, this life has no physical body and is entirely composed of 'shadows', which resemble shadows in form.

Following the invisible life force, they headed straight for the Shadow Lord of Blood Crane Territory.

"There are three lords in the Blood Crane Territory: the Blood Lord, the Crane Lord, and the Shadow Lord. Among them, the Blood Lord is the most low-key and almost never appears in public."

Lord Crane is a peaceful man and rarely participates in wars.

Only the Shadow Lord is the most domineering, enjoying conquering the territories of other forces.

Upon seeing the shadow-like life form, Qin Mu knew who his opponent was.

Qin Mu stopped in mid-air and gazed into the distance.

In that vast space, a thick shadow loomed, its aura spreading unchecked.

"Shadow Lord, withdraw from my cultivator territory!"

Qin Mu, in his insect hive tyrant form, spoke with an icy voice.

"Withdraw? You're that so-called swarm lord, aren't you? A mere world-class Chaos Source dares to call himself a lord?" A sneer rang out.

"You're not qualified to speak to me! Bring your cultivator faction's lord over here!"

With the sound falling.

The power of shadow exploded directly from the body of this Hive Tyrant, blasting it to pieces.

"Very well! You have chosen war, so let it end with the destruction of Blood Crane Territory."

In the instant of its fall, this insect hive tyrant laughed.

"War? With your weak insects?"

The Shadow Lord was quite disdainful.

If it were any other lords who came, he would have said a few more words, but facing a group of world-class Chaos Origin beings, he was too lazy to say anything.

too weak!
World-class Chaos Sources and Lords are simply not on the same level.

He had naturally witnessed the battles between the naturally formed Hunyuan race and the cultivator camp.

Although the cultivators won, the progenitor did not suffer many casualties.

The main issue is the destruction of their home world.

The swarm of insects only managed to hold back the infinite serpent progenitors with its sheer numbers, keeping them busy and delaying them for a moment before finally finding an opportunity to rush into the home world of the Ten Thousand Blade Progenitor.

However, their Blood Crane Territory is not a special place like the Myriad-Ren Ancestor's Territory, which only has one ancestor.

Blood Crane Territory gave birth to three progenitor-level beings.

Among them, the Blood Lord and Crane Lord rarely leave. Within the Blood Crane Territory, their strength can be increased by more than half with the help of the special terrain!
He was not afraid of the swarm tactics of the Zerg.

Moreover, without the Star Lord, the swarm moves too slowly and lacks even the ability to wage guerrilla warfare. Once they gather together, they will be easily wiped out.

His mastery of the Shadow Path makes him the most effective counter to these weaker beings.

Wherever there is shadow, that is where his power lies.

No matter how large the swarm of insects is, they are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

When the naturally formed Hunyuan faction and the cultivators went to war, he dared to invade the cultivators' territory, so he naturally had the confidence and ability to do so.

Rumbling--

The moment the scout's Hive Tyrant fell, the Zerg army from the hundreds of worlds near this territory began to move.

One after another, well-prepared Zerg swarms flew toward the more than thirty world clusters that had been occupied by the Blood Crane Territory, as well as those that originally belonged to the Blood Crane Territory.

With three progenitors, the Blood Crane Territory naturally had its own territory.

If it were handled by Yuan, Xingmang, or others, they would directly engage in war with the opposing lord.

But insect swarms are different!
Since war has begun, it is a total war!
The Zerg swarm hadn't even started the war yet, and the other side had already made the first move.

There's nothing much to say about that.

You can decide when the war begins, but when it ends is up to the Zerg swarm!
……

"The power at the Lord level is still somewhat difficult to deal with. The swarm currently possesses four semi-primordial Daos: War, Destruction, Life, and Matter."

"Use this time to better integrate the four semi-primordial daos, allowing the insect swarm to unleash even greater combat power."

Qin Mu's gaze swept over the swarms of insects.

He had anticipated this great battle, so he mobilized the insect swarm well in advance.

At this moment, the most elite 8000 million world-class Zerg have gathered together.

Thirty of these legions belong to the most perfect million-strong world-class Zerg hives, while the rest are small groups that launch attacks in all directions towards the territory of Blood Crane Territory.

Of course, even if it's called a small-group model, there are at least hundreds of world-class Hunyuan leading hundreds of millions of high-level Hunyuan insect swarms.

A swarm of insects of this size, when dispersed, would be enough to completely annihilate the territory of the Blood Crane Territory.

The combat power of those below the Lord and Progenitor levels is negligible to the Zerg Swarm.

Even among world-class Chaos Origin cultivators, they typically only master one or two and a half Chaos Origin level Daos, and those born with Chaos Origin life are even weaker.

Even without relying on numbers, they can be easily wiped out!

Blood Crane Territory, the Giant God Realm, the Infinite World, and other naturally formed holy lands of the Chaotic Origin Faction, as well as ancestral homelands like the Myriad Blade World, are actually no different.

Blood Crane Territory gave birth to the Blood Crane Territory clan.

The Feather Realm gave birth to the Feather Clan.

The realm of the Titans gave birth to the Titan race.

In the infinite world, the infinite Orochi clan was born.

They vary in strength, but in essence, they are no different.

However, neither of the first two joined the Natural Chaos faction and formed their own independent forces.

The best food for the growth of the Infinite Serpent race is the "Origin of the Source World," which is the home of cultivators.

To fight against the cultivators' camp, the Infinite Serpent Clan must mobilize the entire innate chaotic origin camp.

Although the Giant God Realm race has no need for the 'Origin of the World', it still needs other resources. Relying solely on 'absorbing the power of the Chaos Origin' is too slow for its growth.

If we really want to categorize them, those born in these mysterious places all belong to the naturally formed Hunyuan faction.

But in reality, that's not the case.

If you were to forcibly unite so many forces, war would have broken out among them long ago.

The Giant Gods dislike conflict and have a rather gentle nature, allowing them to tolerate the Infinite Serpent Clan.

However, how many other immortal beings are willing to bow down before the Infinite Serpent Ancestor?
If we form an alliance, why should you be the leader?
Why can't it be me?
Perhaps the Infinite Serpent Ancestor is stronger, but since they are both immortal, neither can defeat the other.

Why should I listen to you, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor?
In comparison, the seven lords in the cultivator camp are much better off.

The oldest lord, Yuan, was naturally gentle and liked to guide others to grow. The other six lords had all received Yuan's favor to varying degrees.

This includes Qin Mu himself.

Although the lord I noticed at the beginning was 'Jin', Yuan also helped me a lot and gave me guidance along the way.

For example, secret techniques such as the Mysterious Origin Technique and the Unity of All Spirits.

All of these are crucial to the insect swarm.

Qin Mu also held Yuan in high esteem. Moreover, the cultivators' camp had always been oppressed by the naturally formed Hunyuan camp.

Under intense pressure, the seven lords were forced to unite.

Unless they are willing to give up, to give up protecting the Source World.

They allowed their numerous source worlds, and even their home source world, to be devoured by the naturally formed chaotic origin faction!

But is this possible?
Therefore, lords born from the source world will naturally band together.

After all, before the swarm broke through to the world level, the seven lords were at a complete disadvantage, and the entire cultivator camp was in danger of annihilation.

There is no leader among the seven lords; rather, it is a relatively loose alliance.

This includes the Swarm Lords represented by Qin Mu.

Unless a crisis occurs, the lords usually handle their own affairs or go on adventures.

Unless requested for help, other lords will not voluntarily participate in other lords' wars.

"The outbreak of a full-scale war will take some time. During this period, the Zerg swarm can adjust its war structure and mobilize a larger force."

Qin Mu's eyes were thoughtful.

The swarm of insects is actually quite crude and does not truly unleash its strongest power.

Even the final breakthrough of the Infinite Serpent Progenitor's defenses was only achieved by hastily forming an army, relying on the Aurora of Destruction to wound it.

With the unification of the war and the semi-chaotic path, the swarm can do a better job.

When Yuan led the insect swarm in a great battle against the 83 progenitors, he used the power of the formation to mobilize the power of dozens of insect swarms and the power of seven lords.

It unleashed power several times its own strength.

Only then could they withstand an attack ten times stronger than their ancestors.

"Although I have not mastered the way of the rules of operation, I have mastered the war way at the semi-primordial level, and I have also studied the way of formations quite a bit."

Qin Mu was confident.

It's unrealistic for an insect swarm to reach the Yuan Na level and unleash several times its own strength.

However, it is still possible to optimize the power of a million insect swarms, unleash even greater power, and then unify multiple insect swarms.

"This time, let's test the true strength of the progenitor! Let's have a head-on battle!"

Qin Mu's gaze fell upon the No. 1 Origin World War Fortress next to the Origin Continent.

After a time acceleration of billions of times, and with a continuous stream of insect swarms actively joining in, the process was accelerated.

This source world has grown remarkably, already reaching five percent of the size of an ordinary source world.

And it is still expanding at an alarming rate.

Yuan said that it would take several hundred epochs for it to grow to the size of a true source world.

But that is the most perfect state!
The growth of the source world slows down as it progresses, while its growth is very rapid in the early stages.

"War Fortress No. 1 does not need to be used for the time being. Let it grow for a while longer, until it reaches at least one-tenth the size of the source world before it can be put into battle."

During this period, let it absorb energy properly and grow rapidly.

This great war was destined to be a protracted conflict, not a quick one.

Even if Blood Crane Territory doesn't want to fight, the insect swarm will!
The three progenitors couldn't even outnumber the insect swarms in terms of their numbers!

Qin Mu, who had experience fighting guerrilla warfare against the 20 progenitors of the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan faction, was confident in this.

……

As the swarm moved, sporadic battles between the swarm and the Blood Sea Territory soon broke out.

At first, it was just a small group of troops at the very front.

Then came the large-scale intrusion!

"A bunch of weak insects! You dare to oppose me?"

The Shadow Lord, quite annoyed, annihilated a small squad of insectoids, then transformed into endless shadows and swept away into the distance.

Wherever the shadow passed, all the insects died.

But how could it possibly defend such a vast territory by itself?
"Hmph! You think you're the only one capable of launching an attack?"
"You can destroy these territories as you please, and I'll destroy the territories of your cultivator faction in return!"

The Shadow Lord quickly changed his battle strategy.

He directly shrunk his clan to Blood Crane Territory, while he himself transformed into an incomparably majestic phantom, with a pair of blood-red eyes looking down at the territory occupied by the insect swarm.

"Originally, I just wanted to occupy a few world clusters and get some resources."

Now, I need 10 world clusters.

"Even if you lose one, I will relentlessly attack your cultivator territories."

The enormous phantom roared.

He knew that Qin Mu's swarm of insects was all around and could hear what he was saying.

"An attack? You try it!"

A spacetime tunnel broke open in the void, and a swarm of insects swept in.

"All the world clusters under your Blood Crane Territory will belong to the Zerg Swarm!"

Layer upon layer of sounds came from the swarm of insects, as if a million people were speaking at once, or as if echoes came from different times and spaces.

"Hahaha, all world swarms belong to the Zerg? Come and take them if you dare!"

The enormous phantom let out a strange laugh, "It's always me who threatens and seizes other forces; I'm never the one who suffers a loss."

"Let's see who can't hold on any longer!"

He occupies world clusters simply to plunder resources.

But for cultivators, the World Cluster is the birthplace of their people!

The longer it drags on, the more the cultivators will suffer.

"I'd like to see what you seven cultivator lords can do to me!"

The Shadow Lord's blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity. Although none of the three lords of the Blood Crane Territory had reached the level of 'immortality,' they still had unique ways to protect themselves.

The Shadow Lord acts so domineeringly and forcefully precisely because he is confident in his ability to save his own life!
"It's good that you're all gathered together, so I don't have to kill you one by one. I'll wipe out this swarm of insects first, and then I'll destroy your individual world groups!"

The Shadow Lord wields the highest level of Shadow power, and is like a shadow himself, able to merge into space and time, and into all things.

The enormous shadow loomed over the swarm of insects.

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!
The shadows and the outermost edge of the insect swarm, composed of a million world-class chaotic insect swarms, touched the war fog and emitted a strong corrosive force.

This force even penetrated directly into the insect swarm.

It eroded into the bodies of the individual swarm units, causing their bodies to shatter and turn into shadows, with even their flesh and blood disappearing.

However, Qin Mu was somewhat puzzled by this attack.

"How can he be so weak?"

The Shadow Lord's attack appeared massive, engulfing the entire swarm of insects, but in reality, the shadowy power was not strong.

Compared to the Infinite Serpent Progenitor, who had clashed with the Zerg Swarm, it was far inferior.

After breaking through the thick fog of war, the shadowy force only killed a hundred or so hive tyrants.

It's completely harmless to the overall insect swarm!

"That's it?" (End of Chapter)
