Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 166 Slaughter

The Eighth World Zone.

Qin Mu felt the world in front of him become blurry, but after waiting for a while, the surrounding scenery slowly became clear.

Wearing a full-body black Force suit, Qin Mu looked around. This seemed to be the interior of an office building, with workstations everywhere, and he was in the corridor between the workstations.

"Teleportation complete. This is the pre-selected assessment site, where the gravity is about ten thousand times that of Earth."

Having experienced the gravity of the thick earth world and comprehended the fundamental laws of earth, a little gravity had little effect on Qin Mu.

After getting used to his surroundings for a while, Qin Mu looked around. There was no one else on this floor, but with his telekinetic senses, he could detect other contestants both upstairs and downstairs.

Without rushing to make a move, he raised his arm, revealing a screen on his wrist. This was a set up by Virtual Universe Company, which could automatically receive various messages transmitted by the organizer, Virtual Universe Company.

The screen was covered with dense text.

Participant: Qin Mu (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 0

Ranking: None

World Zone: Eighth World Zone

Time: The preliminary elimination will last for 30 days. When the time is up, the entire preliminary round will end, and the winner will be determined by the final score ranking.

Note: The Eighth World Zone is a continent simulated based on the appearance of "Anfeng Planet" of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in reality.

There are a total of 87 cities on the entire continent. The surface of Planet Anfeng is mostly desert, with a land area of ​​over 12 million square kilometers. The hardness of houses, ground, and many other objects in the Eighth World District is B9.

Scoring rules: Killing a player earns one point, and you also get half of the opponent's points!

Leaderboard rules: Even if someone dies, they will still be ranked. If their score is high enough, even if they die and their preliminary selection is terminated, losing half of their score, they may still be ranked in the top 1001.

Please note that each person only has one life. Upon death, the preliminary selection will stop and half of the points will be lost.

A detailed ranking list is attached below.

After reading the information, Qin Mu smiled.

More than 12 million square kilometers, with a population of more than 8 billion.

A city can have hundreds of millions of people. With such a population density, a star-level being could encounter hundreds or thousands of adversaries with a single flight.

Anfeng Planet is a desert planet. The desert environment offers a wide field of vision. Once you leave the city, even with the eyesight of a Heng Star being that can see hundreds of miles away, you can see almost everything.

This kind of environment is perfect for unleashing a massacre.

I walked to the workstation next to me, picked up a pen at random, and gently squeezed it. Surprisingly, it made a cracking sound, but it didn't break immediately.

Walking to the glass of the office building, I saw tall buildings everywhere and shuttle buses parked on the road, but there was no one around.

Suddenly, Qin Mu raised his arm and casually flung the pen he was holding out. The pen, imbued with the Law of Metal, transformed into a golden light and flew out.

"Pfft—"

A human figure emerged from the void and was pinned to the wall by a pen imbued with the Law of Metal.

"The Yu Lin clan?"

Qin Mu looked at the short, lifeless figure on the wall, whose eyes had pierced through their sockets, and shook his head.

Like the Demon Killer Clan, the Yu Lin Clan is also an assassination race, but the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

This person is quite strong and has also mastered the field of light, enabling him to distort light and conceal himself.

If he hadn't encountered Qin Mu at the beginning, he might have achieved something, but facing someone as hidden as Qin Mu was still too conspicuous.

"Their strength is much weaker than it actually is."

Qin Mu shook his head after feeling the power he had just used.

During the assessment, everyone's physical fitness was the same, including their mental acuity level.

In reality, Qin Mu has ten times the genetic potential, making him far stronger than ordinary people at the same level.

Furthermore, their bodies are marked with patterns representing the three elements of metal, fire, and space, which, once activated, can greatly enhance their strength.

"My mental power has also weakened considerably. I need to use it sparingly when activating the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel, otherwise it will become a problem."

In reality, countless Zerg units replenish Qin Mu's psychic power, making his psychic power virtually limitless. As long as his mental energy keeps up, he can continue fighting. But things are clearly different here.

Sensing the mental power within his sea of ​​consciousness, he saw eight illusory soul chains rapidly forming, protecting Qin Mu's soul sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Mu had anticipated this scene. He had done similar training many times during his final year of training, so he wasn't unaccustomed to it.

I glanced down at the screen on my arm.

Participant: Qin Mu (Black Dragon Mountain Empire)

Points: 1

Ranking: 556033329

"Points increased, begin the hunt!"

Qin Mu leaped out of the office building, and in mid-air, the spatial ring on his finger flashed, revealing the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath his feet.

"boom!"

A loud bang suddenly came from afar, followed by a loud crash from a distant street. Two tall, strong figures crashed through the wall of a building and began to fight fiercely.

As if it were a signal, a violent roar suddenly erupted throughout the entire street.

The contestants who have adapted to the environment have already faced off.

A smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips, and nine rock shields flew out from the earth wheel of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath his feet, firmly protecting him within them.

To kill the enemy, protect yourself first!

Although Qin Mu was confident that no one in this world could rival him, he was not so arrogant as to be completely unguarded.

After completing the defense, nine more small golden swords flew out from the Golden Wheel.

"brush--"

"brush--"

"brush--"

Streaks of light flashed through the buildings behind them, leaving trails of blood.

Several contestants, hidden inside the building, were eliminated before they could even see their enemies clearly, as everything went black.

Qin Mu's score on his wrist instantly increased to 7.

The qualifiers last for 30 days, and no one has any points yet. Killing someone only earns you one point.

Later on, every surviving person will have a high score; killing one person might earn you tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of points.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng initially played it safe, avoiding the most intense battles at the beginning, and then went on to kill the experts later on.

Generally speaking, even the strongest masters are afraid of being surrounded and attacked. Once they become too powerful, they will die if they are surrounded by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of masters of the same level.

But Qin Mu had no such idea. He wanted to fight his way down with overwhelming force and reach the top in the most powerful way!

After keeping it all bottled up for so many years, why are you still hiding it?

"boom--"

Qin Mu rapidly activated the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath his feet, charging towards the street where the fighting was most brutal.

"Pfft—"

"Pfft—"

The golden sword moved like a fish within a kilometer radius of Qin Mu, each movement leaving a trail of blood.

Hundreds of martial artists and mentalists were fighting in the street, falling like wheat being harvested.

These ordinary ninth-level Hengxing cultivators had absolutely no ability to resist Qin Mu.

Unrivaled mowing down of enemies!

Beneath his Force suit, Qin Mu wore a bloodthirsty smile.

He rarely experienced such killing, unlike the simulations in the killing space; this was real, living people!

"Who is it?"

"So strong!"

The contestants fighting not far away looked at the martial artists and mentalists on the street who had been slaughtered by Qin Mu with horror on their faces.

In just a moment, hundreds of contestants were eliminated.

"He's a powerful being who has comprehended the fundamental laws! Attack him together, kill him first!"

A burly man, three meters tall, wielding a giant axe, roared angrily at Qin Mu in the void.

"Go, eliminate him first!"

Inside the building, a faint voice echoed, and at the same time, a black spike flew out, heading straight for Qin Mu in the sky.

"Alright! Kill him first!"

The participants within hundreds of meters made their decisions instantly.

A barrage of psychic weapons of various shapes and sizes rushed toward Qin Mu in an instant—throwing knives, short spears, and sharp arrows—approaching in an overwhelming manner.

Then, a group of warriors, some burly and some lean, wielding long swords and battle axes, rushed forward.

This is why many masters are unwilling to show themselves at first, because once they unleash too much power, they are easily attacked by a group of people!

But when Qin Mu saw this, a smile appeared on his face instead.

"I'm not afraid of you all coming at me together; I'm afraid of you scattering and trying to escape!"

Suddenly, countless golden swords flew out from the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath his feet. A total of 81 golden swords transformed into streaks of golden light in the void, attacking in all directions.

At the same time, Qin Mu's figure was constantly shuttling among countless psychic weapons, and he also used his rock shield to block them from time to time.

"bite--"

The sounds of metal clashing rang out continuously as psychic weapons collided with the rock shield, yet not a single psychic weapon could break through its defenses.

But a bloody storm erupted in the streets below.

Just because Qin Mu can withstand their attacks doesn't mean they can withstand Qin Mu's attacks!

The golden scimitar, like the scythe of death, relentlessly reaped, piercing through the eye sockets, necks, and other vital points of the warriors.

"No, we can't stop it! We simply can't stop it! That little golden sword is too fast!"

A burly man with horns on his head stared at the scene before him with a look of horror on his face.

That little golden sword was incredibly fast and agile.

He witnessed a warrior of equal strength, who had fought him before, desperately swinging his shield, only to have a golden sword pierce through the gap in his hand, slit his throat, and kill him instantly.

"What kind of telekinetic weapon is that? A divine weapon controlled by its user?!"

A psychic was riding a strange flying shuttle, his face showing a horrifying expression.

"Impossible! He used the Law of Metal, which may have even reached the level of the fundamental law!"

Among the nine divine weapons of the controllers, the metal-attribute divine weapon is a dark gold long staff.

This roulette wheel is not among the nine divine weapons of the controllers!

The other mentalist, clearly more knowledgeable, gritted his teeth and said with a cold expression.

"His telekinetic weapon is powerful, but it must consume a lot of energy!"

"Use the surrounding environment to wear him down!"

In the void, a black-robed psychic rushed towards the surrounding office buildings, using the environment to evade Qin Mu's attacks.

In the pre-selected world, all items have a hardness level of B9, making them difficult to cut even with telekinetic weapons.

Clearly, there is no shortage of smart people in the qualifiers.

"Whoosh—"

Qin Mu's figure tore through the void and rushed straight towards the martial artists on the ground.

Their target was a tall, burly man wielding a giant axe.

This was the person who initially proposed to surround and kill Qin Mu, but Qin Mu discovered that although he shouted slogans loudly, he was constantly retreating under the cover of many contestants.

By now, he had already retreated to the outermost edge, intending to slip away.

"die!"

Qin Mu's eyes were icy cold as two small golden swords shot towards the burly man wielding the giant axe from the left and right.

"Don't push your luck!"

The burly man wielding the giant axe roared, and his domain erupted, emanating a yellowish-brown aura that enveloped an area of ​​about a hundred meters around him.

After the two small golden swords pierced the earth-yellow area, their speed immediately decreased sharply, and their power dropped significantly.

"clang--"

A small golden sword was struck by the giant axe, and like a golden fish, it traced an arc and attacked again from another direction.

"Huh? He's actually a master?"

Beneath the Force suit, Qin Mu looked somewhat surprised; the earth domain emanating from this burly man had actually reached the ninth level.

Among the contestants present, his strength could be considered among the top three.

But after inciting everyone to attack Qin Mu, this guy planned to run away!

Clearly, he recognized Qin Mu's extraordinary strength and knew that even all of them combined might not be a match for Qin Mu.

Nine golden swords flew out from the surrounding slaughter, and the incredibly complex secret patterns on the blades began to flow, connecting with each other and transforming into a golden sword aura.

The first layer of the Golden Wheel, the first golden light appears!

The golden sword energy surged into the earthen-yellow domain with unstoppable force, and the earthen-yellow airflow seemed to encounter no resistance whatsoever.

"cut!"

As the burly man watched the approaching golden sword energy, veins bulged on his face, and a bloody aura appeared in his nostrils. He had used some kind of desperate secret technique.

The massive axe turned pitch black and slashed heavily at the golden sword energy.

"Chance!"

Seeing that the burly man had Qin Mu restrained, the mentalists' eyes lit up, and they unleashed their full power, launching a simultaneous attack.

But the next moment, to everyone's astonishment...

"boom--"

A terrifying explosion rang out.

The moment they came into contact with the golden sword energy, the terrifying power it carried actually caused the giant axe in the strong man's hand to fly away!

The burly man himself had his throat pierced by the golden sword energy!

His eyes widened in disbelief that he had been killed.

A martial artist who excelled in defense and was at the ninth level of the Earth Domain was instantly killed in one blow!

"The fundamental law of metal! It is the fundamental law of metal!"

Someone shouted.

"boom--"

Just as the golden sword energy slashed down the giant axe-wielding giant, dozens of psychic weapons unleashed at full power also struck Qin Mu almost simultaneously.

An invisible, earth-yellow aura emanated from Qin Mu's body, activating the secret runes on the nine rotating rock shields surrounding him.

When the dozens of psychic weapons unleashed at full power entered within a hundred meters of Qin Mu, they seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, struggling to move forward.

Its speed and power are not even one-tenth of that!

Such speed would be easily dodged even by an ordinary ninth-level Hengxing, let alone Qin Mu.

"How is this possible! It's actually the Earth Domain! No, he's even stepped into the fundamental laws of Earth!"

A mentalist clutched his neck, coughed up blood, and said in disbelief.

However, those around him were no longer able to answer him.

With difficulty, he turned his head and saw that the ground was full of corpses; everyone had been killed with a single blow.

Just as they were attacking, small golden swords silently traced eerie arcs and pierced their throats.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of corpses of ninth-level martial artists and mental cultivators of the Eternal Star level lay on the ground.

"escape!"

"They were all one-hit kills; there's no way they could possibly be a match for them!"

Watching from a distance, the contestants, who had been eager to participate, showed signs of fear and scattered in all directions.

When faced with some geniuses, most contestants will tacitly team up to hunt them down first.

However, when faced with such a super strong opponent who had easily slaughtered hundreds of contestants, no one dared to step forward.

Indeed, if they gathered thousands or tens of thousands of people, they might be able to kill him.

But who will be the first to step up?

No one is willing to sacrifice themselves to please others!

Everyone panicked and fled, leaving only the demon-like figure in mid-air.
