Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 145 The Enormous Mother Nest

Through the swirling light, Qin Mu felt a sudden change in his surroundings, and when he came to his senses, he was already high in the sky.

Qin Mu, who was well prepared, stood steadily in the void, with the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel slowly rotating behind him.

Although the Earth's gravity is 5,000 times stronger, it is not enough to prevent Qin Mu, who has reached the ninth level of the Hengxing Star, from flying.

A bright light source, like the sun, hangs high in the sky, illuminating the entire world of the Realm Lord.

This world also has day and night, but the time is not the same as on Earth. If calculated in Earth time, three days make up one day and night.

This moment belongs to daytime.

In the void, Qin Mu carefully observed this world.

If we ignore gravity, this world is not much different from any other life-bearing planet, with rolling mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The mountains are covered with abundant vegetation and are full of life.

Not far away, a strange bird with a wingspan of tens of meters and a strength reaching the sixth level of the Hengxing star spotted Qin Mu in the air and swooped down with a shriek.

A small golden sword flew out from the golden wheel of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel behind Qin Mu. Carrying a sharp sword aura, the golden sword pierced through the strange bird's head, killing it instantly.

"Hmm? This monster has incredibly strong defense."

Although he easily killed it, Qin Mu still sensed something was wrong.

Qin Mu possessed the strength of a ninth-level star and wielded the Golden Wheel, which was comparable to a divine weapon. Yet, when he pierced through the strange bird's head, he still felt a resistance.

In the past two years, although Qin Mu has been immersed in cultivation and has not gone out, he still occasionally enters the virtual universe killing field to fight.

With the powerful capabilities of the virtual universe, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel can be used normally. Moreover, he has fought against various monsters more than once. The defensive capabilities of this sixth-level Hengxing monster bird are comparable to those of a typical seventh or eighth-level Hengxing monster.

Under normal circumstances, most bird monsters have poor defense.

Seeing more flying monsters attacking from afar, Qin Mu killed them one after another before landing on the ground.

Standing before a tree that was a hundred meters tall, Qin Mu gently pinched it and found that it was extremely hard, much harder than ordinary Grade B metal.

Even the weeds on the ground are harder than diamonds on Earth.

"As expected of a world master made of cosmic crystals, containing the primordial energy of the universe, even ordinary flowers, grasses and trees are so hard."

Qin Mu couldn't help but marvel.

Although Qin Mu had seen in the materials that the land, gravel, trees and so on in the World Lord's World were affected by the primordial energy of the universe and were much more special than external matter, this was still the first time he had seen it.

"The gravity in this world is too strong, and my mental power is also affected, with its range reduced to less than one-thousandth of what it is on Earth."

Qin Mu was not surprised by this, because the Zerg reconnaissance units had already discovered the problem before he entered the World Lord's World.

For this reason, the swarm's exploration of the Lord's World was very slow. Even after Qin Mu entered the Lord's World, the swarm's most distant reconnaissance unit had only flown a little over ten million kilometers.

"This world of the World Lord is so vast, its diameter has already exceeded 20 million kilometers. When this World Lord was alive, he was probably a peak World Lord."

After synthesizing the results from all the Zerg reconnaissance units, Qin Mu had gained a certain understanding of this world. It was a world with a flat sky and a square earth, and the Zerg units that were reconnoitering to the west had already encountered the world barrier.

But those heading east are still exploring further afield.

"Although there are many monsters in the World Lord's World, and they are powerful enough, almost all of them are ferocious beasts."

Beasts are called ferocious beasts because they lack intelligence. In the universe, monsters are mainly divided into two types: 'demonic beasts' and 'ferocious beasts'.

The term "monster race" refers to a group of creatures that possess relatively high intelligence, similar to the "apprentice level" of humans. Monsters on Earth are examples of monsters, and slightly more mature monsters are no less intelligent than humans.

Because of their intelligence, the monster race is one of the most powerful races in the vast universe.

The ferocious beast is powerful, but lacks intelligence.

They don't know how to learn, and whether they are cruel or gentle, they all share a low level of intelligence.

Of course, in addition to the two types of monsters, 'demonic beasts' and 'ferocious beasts', there are also 'divine beasts', such as the Starry Sky Giant Beast, which is called the 'Starry Sky Divine Beast'.

Even the strongest beasts aren't very bright.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Mu summoned a batch of long-awaited cosmic-level Zerg units from his World Ring, which appeared in the sky.

Besides the numerous blazing behemoths and void serpents.

There is also a golden-horned behemoth here, with a size exceeding five kilometers and a strength reaching the fifth level of the cosmic level!

However, this golden-horned behemoth was not the highest-ranking one.

Among these Zerg units, the highest-ranking is a cosmic-level Tier 9 Skyfire Raven.

The world ring that Teacher Yu Chen once gave to Qin Mu contained a group of Skyfire Crows of varying strengths, the weakest being at the sixth rank of the Hengxing level and the strongest reaching the ninth rank of the Universe level.

These Skyfire Crows had been implanted with biochips and had no ability to resist. They had long been transformed into insectoids by Qin Mu and become part of the swarm.

Although the Golden Horned Beast possesses great talent, it still finds it difficult to defeat the Heavenly Fire Crow, which is four levels stronger.

After more than ten days of reconnaissance, the swarm still hadn't found anything like a control core in this world, so Qin Mu decided not to continue using this inefficient method.

Qin Mu plans to place a cosmic-level mother hive directly in this world, mass-produce Zerg, and sweep through the land to completely occupy this world!

Even if intelligent life forms exist in this world, he is not afraid.

The World Lord's World is not a true world after all. It is already very powerful to be able to give birth to a universe-level ferocious beast. It is almost impossible for it to give birth to a Domain Lord level beast.

As for a stronger World Lord level, that's completely impossible, after all, this is just a World Lord world, not an Immortal God Kingdom.

As long as there are no Realm Lord level experts, Qin Mu has nothing to worry about.

Because he brought the Zerg Queen's nest, which was at the peak of the World Lord level, with the defensive power of the Queen's nest at the peak of the World Lord level, once activated, it would be unlikely that even a World Lord of the same level could break through it in a short time.

As for the Domain Lord level, it's practically impossible to break through!

When under the control of a master, the Queen Mother's Nest is actually a very powerful defensive artifact.

In the universe of Devouring, the Zerg hive, though possessing a powerful soul, has a very fragile physical body. The hive serves as both a tool for hatching the Zerg and an armor to protect them.

The swarm's strength has now reached the cosmic level, and its stored energy is barely enough to power the Queen's Nest. It can still be used to save lives in critical moments.

If necessary, Qin Mu could even bring over the mechanical race's spaceships that are currently on Earth.

Even in the most dangerous situations, the Star Destroyer on the Machine Race's spaceship, with its attack comparable to an immortal weapon, can be annihilated in a single shot.

Therefore, Qin Mu was very confident.

As for concerns about the possible existence of intelligent life in this world's master?

Then it doesn't matter at all.

When this world of the realm master was discovered, it was amidst a spatial storm!

On a fragment of a planet that has been drifting in a space storm for an unknown amount of time, even the most powerful intelligent life forms located inside the world's master world cannot know the situation outside the master world, let alone its exact coordinates.

In the space storm, there is a place where even dark universe travel is impossible.

Even if the possible intelligent life forms were to use a virtual universe to tell the outside world that there is a cosmic-scale Zerg hive here, no one would be able to get through.

Or rather, even if they wanted to come over, they wouldn't be able to find a place.

Unless it's an immortal or higher level powerhouse searching bit by bit, it's simply impossible to find.

Moreover, without a master, intelligent life forms are simply unable to enter the virtual universe.

Just like Babata, after the owner of Meteorite Star died, the internet was cut off for 50,000 years!

Therefore, Qin Mu can still bear this risk.

Under the protection of numerous Zerg units, Qin Mu found a flat spot and retrieved a colossal mother hive, twelve kilometers high, placing it in the World Lord's World.

"boom--"

The ground trembled, as if an earthquake had struck, and a terrifying sound rang out.

How tall is the mother nest, which is twelve kilometers high?

Twelve thousand meters! That's taller than Mount Everest on Earth!

Once it reaches the cosmic level, the size of the hive increases more than tenfold, making it even more different from ordinary Zerg hives that devour the universe.

It should be noted that the Mother Nest of the Realm Lord Peak, which was controlled by Qin Mu, was only a sphere with a diameter of 800 meters. Compared with the Mother Nest of the Insect Swarm, the difference was simply too great.

The golden-horned behemoth, a fifth-order cosmic-level creature, with a body exceeding five kilometers in length, appeared far too small in front of the mother nest.

Only a mother hive of this size could be capable of hatching large numbers of insectoid monsters like the Golden Horned Beast.

Otherwise, as Luo Feng said in the original timeline, how big is the Zerg hive?

The diameter of a Lord-level Queen's hive is 800 meters, while the height of an Immortal-level Zerg hive is only about 10 kilometers.

A mother hive of this size can only incubate very small Zerg units.

The Golden Horned Beast, a world lord-level creature, is over a thousand kilometers long, from its head to its scaled tail!

How can you compare these?

Size is also a very important statistic for the Zerg hive.

Even more so, Qin Mu was not satisfied with this and had already used planetary fragments in the chaotic star field to build a massive Zerg planetary fortress from scratch!

The colossal biological structure that Qin Mu called the Insect Nest Fortress was larger than Earth, with a diameter exceeding 15,000 kilometers.

Those are the real weapons of war!

Of course, the Zerg hive fortress is still in its infancy and far from perfect.

After the twelve-kilometer-high Queen Nest was placed, a tide of fungal carpet tissue surged out from around the nest and spread in all directions.

Within the world of the Realm Lord, even trees and plants containing primordial energy of the universe that are a hundred times harder than steel cannot escape being covered and absorbed after encountering this fungal carpet.

"The swarm! It's expanding, taking over the world!"

Qin Mu's deep voice echoed.

Finally finished writing, time for bed.
