Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 150 World Core

In the sky, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath Qin Mu's feet drew an arc, narrowly avoiding the edge of the Thunder Giant Ape's palm.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Qin Mu was startled. This Thunder Giant Ape was indeed known for its speed. After taking a hit head-on, it arrived in front of Qin Mu in an instant.

The first level of the Golden Wheel is said to be invincible at the Eternal Star level. If this Thunder Giant Ape is at the ninth level of the Eternal Star level, this attack would be enough to kill it.

But this Thunder Giant Ape is a second-tier cosmic-level being!

Although there is only one level difference between the Cosmic level and the Eternal level, there is a qualitative difference. It is already very powerful for a ninth-level Eternal level being able to injure it with a single blow.

The Thunder Giant Ape's massive body, hundreds of meters tall, and its hands covered in purple fur, could severely injure Qin Mu if he were to be gripped firmly.

"Freeze!"

Having dodged the Thunder Giant Ape's attack, nine golden swords flew out from the Golden Wheel once more, transforming into streaks of golden sword energy.

Ultimately, supported by Qin Mu's powerful psychic aura, nine golden sword energies crisscrossed, besieging the giant lightning ape that was constantly dodging and weaving within the sword energy.

Extremely sharp sword energy sliced ​​through the Thunder Giant Ape's body, causing purple blood to flow out.

However, relying on its lightning-encased defenses and its massive, hundred-meter-tall body, the Thunder Giant Ape, though covered in blood, only suffered superficial wounds.

"Although the golden sword energy is extremely strong and sharp, it is still a Heng-level move. Unless you hit its vital points, it is impossible to kill it."

Qin Mu, who was operating the Golden Wheel and attacking from a short distance away, knew that although the Thunder Giant Ape looked disheveled, it was not fundamentally injured.

On the contrary, the Thunder Giant Ape, which occasionally broke through the golden sword energy's blockade, could severely injure itself with a single attack.

Because of the 5000 times stronger gravity in this world, Qin Mu's range of manipulating his telekinetic weapon was greatly reduced, making it impossible for him to create distance and kill from afar.

"Shall we unleash the second level of 'Sword Light Like a Rainbow'?"

Qin Mu hesitated because although he had initially grasped the second level, it was only a weak grasp and he was not proficient.

"Don't rush to use the second level. You can use the Fire Wheel combination attack first. Both the Fire Wheel and the Metal Wheel are good at attacking. Once they are combined, their power can be stacked to achieve double the attack."

A thought flashed through Qin Mu's mind, and he made a decision.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel, a fiery red wheel with flames burning within, radiating a scorching and explosive aura, flew out countless burning flaming knives.

The Wheel of Fire corresponds to the fire attribute among the nine divine weapons of the controllers, and can also be broken down into 10081 fiery red throwing knives.

Like the Wheel of Gold, the Wheel of Fire also has nine levels.

The first stage is called "The First Flame".

The second level is called "Blazing Frenzy".

The third level is called "Blazing Flames Burning the Sky".

The fourth level: called "Lava Purgatory"

The fifth level: named "Heaven-Burning and Earth-Splitting".

The sixth level: named "Roar of the Fiery Dragon"

The seventh level: called the "World-Burning Flame"

The eighth level: named "Boundless Flame God".

The ninth level: 'Even the immortal can be defeated'

After the flaming throwing knives flew out of the Wheel of Fire, the same situation as in the first level of the Wheel of Gold occurred: nine flaming throwing knives formed a group, and the incredibly complex secret patterns on their blades began to circulate and connect with each other.

Nine red blades, burning with raging flames and exuding an explosive aura, transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the battlefield.

This is not the end.

Beneath Qin Mu's feet, within the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel, the Golden Wheel and the Fire Wheel, under the influence of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel's mother wheel, united their auras.

Suddenly, the golden sword energy and the fiery red blade light in the void merged together, transforming into a three-pointed, double-edged spear burning with raging flames.

"Combo Attack - Blazing Golden Light! Slash!"

Golden and red patterns appeared on Qin Mu's body as he exerted all his control, unleashing the full power of this attack.

Qin Mu's hand trembled slightly as he pressed down with a loose fist, as if holding a weapon. Clearly, executing such an attack was not easy for him.

In the sky, a nearly 100-meter-long three-pointed double-edged spear slashed down heavily.

"roar--"

Sensing the imminent danger, the Thunder Giant Ape roared, its entire body crackling with lightning. A pair of thick arms formed solid armor-like structures, unleashing a series of phantom-like attacks at the three-pointed double-edged spear in the sky.

This giant thunder ape actually wanted to fight fire with fire, forcibly breaking the three-pointed double-edged spear in the sky.

"boom--"

"boom--"

Thunder and crashing sounds rang out.

"Click-clack—"

Fine cracks appeared on the lightning armor on the Thunder Giant Ape's arms, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear became illusory.

Finally, the lightning armor on the giant ape's arms completely dissipated, both of its massive arms were severed, and it let out a roar of resentment.

After severely injuring him with a single blow, Qin Mu once again gripped his hand horizontally and slashed diagonally.

The Thunder Giant Ape's massive body was cleaved in two from shoulder to abdomen, its eyes wide open as it plunged into endless darkness.

After delivering this blow, the three-pointed double-edged spear completely disintegrated, transforming back into countless small golden swords and flaming throwing knives, returning to the Wheel of Gold and the Wheel of Fire.

"Phew—that was close."

After a long and arduous battle, Qin Mu finally killed the Thunder Giant Ape and breathed a sigh of relief.

After collecting the body that had been broken in two, Qin Mu quickly left the battlefield atop the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel.

Within his radiating mental power, he sensed that even more ferocious beasts were closing in.

"Hahaha--"

Qin Mu burst into hearty laughter.

After a thrilling battle, Qin Mu felt that his understanding of the Fire Domain and the Metal Domain had become much deeper.

After resting for a while in the insectoid territory, Qin Mu flew back into the beasts' territory to find a suitable opponent.

He needs more opponents to hone his combat skills and master the use of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel more quickly.

The method of using the Universal Wheel is extremely complicated. Not only can the Metal Wheel and Fire Wheel be used in conjunction, but the Space Wheel can also be used.

However, Qin Mu's control over the Space Wheel was still inferior to that of the Metal Wheel and the Fire Wheel, and the combined effect was also somewhat weaker.

This is the best opportunity to train.

It's not just the insect swarm that can evolve and transform in actual combat; Qin Mu himself is the same.

Time continued to pass during the battle.

Qin Mu went from being unfamiliar with the combination of the Metal Wheel and the Fire Wheel to becoming quite adept at it.

In fact, through continuous battles, Qin Mu gradually gained a better understanding of how to coordinate the Space Wheel with the other two major sub-wheels.

……

While Qin Mu was fighting, he was far from the insect swarm's territory.

The Void Serpent emerged from the void, its eyes fixed on the brown earth before it.

Upon stepping onto this land, the gravitational pull from the earth suddenly became a hundred times stronger.

The deeper you go, the stronger the gravity becomes.

When we arrived here, the surrounding gravity was more than a million times that of Earth.

Under this extremely strong gravity, the surrounding magnetic field was completely distorted, making it impossible to see things in the distance.

Even with a gravity a million times stronger, it was still unable to stop the Void Serpent's advance.

Cosmic-level powerhouses are capable of fighting on white dwarfs, so the gravitational pull that could crush even star-level powerhouses is nothing to the Void Serpent.

It's important to know that the gravity on a white dwarf can be more than 3 million times that of Earth!

But the unusual situation before him made the Void Serpent realize that this place was very likely the core of this world's master realm!

As the giant serpent of the void continued to move forward across this brown land, the surrounding gravity grew stronger and stronger, until it reached hundreds of millions of times the gravity of Earth.

Before the Void Serpent, a massive black fortress rose up, its sheer weight almost suffocating.

Every rock in the fortress seems to bear a tremendous weight, standing firm despite the passage of time, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.

However, the Void Serpent did not take another step forward. Instead, it slowly retreated, instantly activating its spatial teleportation ability and fleeing back the way it came.

Outside the fortress, a giant bear, as large as a mountain, lay slumbering.

The moment the Void Serpent saw the black fortress, the mountain-sized bear opened its eyes.

This is a terrifying creature at the level of a domain lord!
