Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 151 The Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, 'Lan'

"It's actually a giant bear at the domain lord level."

Qin Mu's expression was solemn.

Although we had guessed that such powerful individuals might exist in this world, their actual appearance was still astonishing.

Qin Mu was well aware of just how powerful a Domain Lord-level expert was.

After joining the pharmacist department and becoming a level two pharmacist, the Virtual Universe Company granted Qin 3's leader, Ren Yu, the strength of a domain lord.

Qin Mu had also sparred with Ren Yu. No, it shouldn't be called sparring; Ren Yu had actually let Qin Mu experience the power of a Domain Lord.

During the chaotic star field, he also witnessed Ren Yu casually slaughtering those cosmic-level space pirates.

The lifespan limit of a Domain Lord-level powerhouse is 100 epochs (1008100 years). They reach the ninth level of the Domain realm and gain some insight into a certain fundamental law, thus crossing the threshold.

In terms of attack, a single punch could cause a massive flood that submerges the entire Earth, and a flick of the wrist could destroy a planet. Visually, it can clearly see cell nuclei.

Although it cannot yet reach the level of shattering stars, even the most primitive civilizations in the universe dare not provoke it easily. In the vast universe, every cosmic nation is trying its best to win it over.

One can designate a region as their master to build their power, and this power will be recognized by the universe.

How could a powerhouse of this caliber be born from a world where even the laws are incomplete?

"This monster, which is at the level of a domain lord, was probably not born in the world of a realm lord, but was brought in from the outside."

Qin Mu guessed.

"That black fortress must be the core of this world."

The swarm had not been able to find the core of this world. Qin Mu had thought there was some kind of world within a world, but the current situation showed that there was no such thing as a world within a world.

A realm lord can create a world, and within that world, build another world hidden within it.

The "world" within this world is called the "world within a world".

However, to build another world within this world, the 'world within a world' first needs to be sufficiently stable, which requires a large amount of cosmic crystals as its foundation.

Building a world within a world comes at a great cost. Only those who wish to hide treasures would spare no expense to build such a world.

Normally, most realm lords wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.

Wouldn't it be better to store all your treasures in the Cosmic Galaxy Bank?

Safe and worry-free.

"It's guarded by a giant bear of the domain lord level; getting into that castle won't be easy."

Qin Mu pondered that the wealth and even the inheritance of that realm lord were mostly in the castle.

"That giant bear is a living being of flesh and blood; if we fight it, we might still have a chance."

Domain Lord-level experts are very strong, but if Qin Mu uses the Golden Horned Beast's powerful body to launch a soul attack in conjunction with a million insect swarms, even a Domain Lord-level expert would not be able to withstand it.

Although he was confident, Qin Mu still felt something was strange. The Realm Lord had been dead for who knows how long, yet the Domain Lord Giant Bear had not left but was guarding outside the castle.

However, Qin Mu soon realized something was wrong. This giant bear, which was at the domain lord level, was not guarding the castle at all; it was actually attacking it.

Upon discovering the Void Serpent's invasion, the awakened Giant Bear Domain Lord did not pursue it, but instead launched a frenzied attack on the black fortress behind him.

"No wonder that black fortress is so badly damaged; it was caused by the attack of this Domain Lord Giant Bear. This Domain Lord Giant Bear is trapped in this world!"

From afar, one could see the giant bear, the domain lord, repeatedly raising its terrifying paws to pound the black castle, causing the thin, yellowish-brown light shield above the castle to tremble precariously.

It seems that under the attack of the domain lord, the giant bear, it can't hold out for much longer.

Qin Mu immediately understood that after being trapped, the giant bear wanted to break through the castle and gain control of this world.

"There must be an intelligent life form inside that black castle that blocked the attack of the domain lord, the giant bear."

No wonder the swarm of insects has been in this world for so long without encountering any obstacles; it turns out their attention has been tied up by this domain lord, the giant bear.

Upon discovering this, Qin Mu was no longer in a hurry to send the swarm into the core castle.

The Zerg swarm currently controls less than one percent of this world's main universe, and the number of cosmic-level units within the swarm is only a few hundred thousand. Going there now carries a certain risk.

The world's core emanates an extremely strong gravitational pull, making it possible for only cosmic-level insectoids to survive.

"The black castle looks somewhat dilapidated, but it's estimated that it won't be breached so quickly. A Void Serpent was left to keep watch, while the other swarm units began to multiply at full speed, aiming to take over this world as quickly as possible."

With the abundant resources of this world's ruler, it's enough to incubate millions of cosmic-level insectoids.

Although surprised by the power of the Domain Lord Giant Bear, Qin Mu felt relieved at this moment.

Compared to a powerful opponent, Qin Mu was more worried that the core of the world might be hidden by that world lord using some kind of spatial secret technique. If that were the case, it would be troublesome.

Following Qin Mu's command, the insect swarm, which had been conserving its strength to guard against potential crises in the world, suddenly accelerated its invasion.

One after another, star-level mother nests were hatched, and after devouring massive amounts of native ferocious beasts, billions of insect swarms spread across the entire domain master world at top speed.

"In this world, besides the Rock Giant race, there are three other powerful races similar to the Rock Giants, and all of them are earth-attribute monsters. Combined with the super strong gravity in the core of the world, it can be basically confirmed that the world lord who created this world is an earth-attribute powerhouse."

There are also patterns on the black castle; perhaps this information can help us determine the identity of this powerful realm lord.

After the swarm reconnaissance units explored the area, Qin Mu had a thorough understanding of most of the terrain in the Lord of the Realms.

In the days that the Zerg swarm explored the world of the Lord of the Realms, a Void Serpent carrying a World Ring containing planetary fragments arrived near the Zerg Hive Fortress in the Chaotic Starfield.

If any unexpected situation arises, such as the Domain Lord Giant Bear leaving the world core and engaging in a major war with the Zerg swarm, the Zerg swarm can quickly mobilize combat units to provide support.

In the virtual universe, Qin Mu's figure appeared in the laboratory that Teacher Yu Chen had given him.

After joining the Pharmacist Association, Qin Mu found it much easier to search for information in the virtual universe. With his access privileges, he could easily find most of the information.

"First, check the Earth-attribute Realm Lord powerhouses who have fallen within the last two million years in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield."

A light screen appeared in front of him, and lines of information appeared before his eyes.

The Black Dragon Mountain Starfield is vast, but there are only about a hundred World Lord-level powerhouses.

Those that die within two million years, especially those with the earth element, are even fewer.

Sure enough, the light screen in front of them only displayed information about the eighteen deceased world lords.

Qin Mu started his search from the most recent death date. Normally, he only needed to search for those who died within the last million years.

Because the Domain Lord Giant Bear in the Realm Lord World is still alive, the lifespan limit of a Domain Lord is generally 100 epochs (1008100 years), but just in case, Qin Mu still checked the lifespan within the last two million years.

"The Lord of the Shattered Stone Realm perished 3 years ago. That's not it. He had only recently become a Lord of the Realm before his death, so it's impossible for him to have such great strength."

Qin Mu quickly eliminated the first one. That World Lord's world is 3000 million kilometers long. Unless it's someone like Luo Feng who has an unfair advantage, only a peak World Lord could have such a huge inner world.

"The Lord of the Yu Yue Realm perished 60,000 years ago, killed in an extraterritorial battlefield; this is not it either."

"The Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, 'Lan,' perished 80,000 years ago. His strength was at the peak of the Realm Lord level. He killed a large number of alien races in the extraterrestrial battlefield, becoming a Realm Lord general. He even had the feat of escaping from the hands of an immortal alien powerhouse!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up when he saw this information.

When entering the extraterritorial battlefield, the virtual universe network will rate the strength of each realm lord based on their performance.

The rating is divided into three levels: "Ordinary Realm Lord Warrior", "Elite Realm Lord Warrior", and "Realm Lord General".

Most realm lords are ordinary realm lord warriors. Those who can gain recognition from the fundamental laws can barely be considered elite realm lord warriors.

One out of hundreds of elite Realm Lord warriors can usually become a Realm Lord General!

Each one of them, who can be rated as a World Lord Warrior, is extremely powerful.

"The Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, 'Lan,' was born on an indigenous planet. Later, he was discovered by space adventurers, and the entire planet's inhabitants were enslaved. At that time, the young Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, 'Lan,' managed to escape."

After entering space, Lan's talent quickly became apparent. After becoming a cosmic-level being, she joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, during which time Lan carried out countless missions, rapidly increasing her strength.

After rising to power, he killed all the slave traders and space adventurers who sold his home planet.

Unfortunately, he rose to prominence too late; all his relatives and friends had already passed away.

He eventually became a "Cosmic Three-Star Mercenary," then entered the extraterrestrial battlefield as a Realm Lord General, retired alive, established a family, and perished for unknown reasons 80,000 years ago.

The life of this Earth Realm Lord, 'Lan', is truly remarkable. He suffered a calamity in his childhood but was fortunate enough to enter the universe. He also had great opportunities and killed all his enemies.

They can even enter extraterritorial battlefields and become world-leading generals, and still retire alive.

It's important to know that the mortality rate in overseas battlefields is over 90%!

Those who survived were truly ruthless.

"A clan has been formed, haha! As expected of Realm Lord 'Lan'!"

After discovering that the Realm Lord "Lan" had established a family, Qin Mu had the Void Python carefully examine the patterns on the black fortress, and sure enough, they found a peculiar emblem.

This is the family crest created by the Realm Lord 'Lan'!

However, after the fall of the Realm Lord Lan, his family quickly disintegrated and disappeared into the universe.

Qin Mu was able to find this information because he had broken through to the second level of "Bloodline Evolution" and become a third-tier alchemist, whose status in the virtual universe was comparable to that of a World Lord. He was also looking up information on a World Lord who had already died. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to find such detailed information.

After identifying the master of the world, Qin Mu began to investigate his detailed information, trying to find any possible opportunities.

Knowing your enemy and knowing yourself is the key to victory in every battle!
