Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 181: Consecutive Level Clears! The Nervous Qianwu!

The metallic lifeforms, the "Thor warriors," are a peculiar type of metallic lifeform in the universe. Like rock giants, they are soulless!

This means that Qin Mu's most proficient soul attack method has become ineffective.

What's even more terrifying is that although they have no souls, they possess wisdom!

This is an extremely powerful race that excels in combat, especially in direct confrontation.

Looking at the thousand strong warriors before him, their bodies made entirely of metal and their features sharply defined, Qin Mu took a deep breath.

"We have no choice but to kill him outright!"

The second level, with its ten thousand nine-headed pythons, consumed a considerable amount of Qin Mu's energy. However, in the end, Qin Mu chose to leave one nine-headed python behind, and only after his energy and spirit were fully restored did he enter the next level.

Therefore, Qin Mu is still in his prime at this moment.

Qin Mu's eyes revealed a fierce glint. The next moment, golden swords, flaming knives, spatial spears, and rock shields flew out from the four sub-wheels of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel: gold, fire, earth, and space.

Finally, Qin Mu decided to use the four fundamental laws he was most proficient in.

Gold is the most masculine and yang element.

Fire, explosive power.

This is the most adept at direct attacks among all the fundamental laws!

Qin Mu's body emitted rays of light, first an earthy yellow aura, then a silver aura!

It remains the most defensive element, a combination of earth and space, incredibly thick and solidified into an earth-space domain.

Within a kilometer radius of Qin Mu, rock shields, empowered by the fundamental laws of space, were concealed in the void.

To attack, first defend!

Only by surviving can you produce results!

The next moment, the core mother wheel of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath his feet rotated, and the power of the four sub-wheels of metal, fire, earth, and space united together.

Golden light emanated from Qin Mu's body, and the golden runes on the surrounding golden swords were activated, with 81 golden swords combining to form a golden sword!

Within the golden realm, nine golden swords soared into the air, forming the foundation of a grand formation.

The golden threads burst forth and intertwined, and the golden sword energy emanated from the nine golden swords as the center.

The spherical space with a radius of one kilometer centered on Qin Mu instantly became a dazzling world of sword energy, with countless golden sword energies crisscrossing and roaming within this spherical space.

The Golden Wheel! The Third Level! A flurry of sword shadows!

Almost simultaneously, nine flaming swords, engulfed in raging flames, flew into the air, their flames scorching the sky. Centered on these nine flaming swords, terrifying flames spontaneously combusted within a kilometer radius.

Wheel of Fire! Third level! Blazing flames scorch the sky!

Both the third layer of the Golden Wheel and the Fire Wheel form a domain. When attacking with unparalleled power, they excel at group attacks!

The moment the four domains merged, a thousand Tuoluo warriors, each wielding a metal sword, rushed into Qin Mu's domain.

As metallic life forms, the Tuo warriors have no souls and therefore no psychic powers, so all Tuo warriors are martial artists!

"Space Fortress! Earth Guardian! Activate!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the Tuoluo warriors charged, Qin Mu activated his defensive secret technique again, under the super gravity.

The charging stance of the Tuoluo warriors faltered abruptly, and the next moment, their bodies shone with golden light.

The golden domain expanded, and while resisting the four major domains, its speed was reduced by half, but it continued to charge forward.

The seventh warrior is from the third level of the Trial Tower. His understanding of the fundamental law of gold is already very high. It is impossible to completely suppress him by relying on domains and secret techniques.

Reducing it by half is already quite good.

If we categorize their understanding of the fundamental laws according to the levels of the Golden Wheel, we can say that they have all reached the second level!

It is immune to soul attacks, has strong defense, and is extremely powerful in attack.

Any one of them could easily break into the top ten, or even the top three, of the all-time Genius Battle rankings!

"boom--"

Within the domain, a golden sword and a metal saber in the hand of a Tuoluo warrior clashed violently, producing a deafening explosion.

With a sharp, piercing sound, the golden sword vibrated, piercing through the chest of the Tuoluo warrior and penetrating its metal core.

As metallic life forms, the Tuoluo race has no weaknesses in the conventional sense. Even if their heads are severed, as long as their metallic core remains intact, they will not die.

The alloy battle blades of more than ten Tuoluo warriors at the forefront converged with the fundamental laws of metal, transforming into a golden light that slashed towards Qin Mu within the domain.

"Whoosh—"

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel beneath Qin Mu's feet spun, propelling him backward at breakneck speed.

As a mentalist, how could he allow these Dhara warriors to get close so easily?

At the same time, hundreds of phantoms appeared in the domain, and the nine golden swords, nine flaming battle blades, and the Tuoluo warriors in the domain clashed wildly under the domain's blessing.

One by one, the illusory bodies shattered and were regenerated, while Qin Mu's true body constantly traversed the four realms.

"Sizzle—"

After a series of deaths among the Tuolu warriors, dozens of Tuolu actually joined forces and unleashed a terrifying slash, a thousand meters long and imbued with primordial laws, outside the domain!

They even know how to use combined attacks!

This combined attack enveloped the entire domain, allowing you to slash through countless illusions with a single strike!

"Royal!"

Qin Mu snorted coldly, and the earthen-yellow patterns on the 729 rock shields in his domain shone, transforming into nine enormous shields.

Nine enormous rock shields were linked together by the power of the domain, forming a massive, solid mountain composed of rock, a thousand meters high, as if it had materialized.

As the Earth Wheel, which excels at defense, how could it only have a little bit of gravity and suppression ability?

The third layer of the Earth Wheel has a name: Mountain Guardian.

In this realm, the numerous rock shields within the Earth Wheel are linked together, as solid and stable as a towering mountain.

It can withstand extremely fierce attacks and weaken enemy attacks through powerful gravity.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

A series of deafening roars echoed as a terrifying, kilometer-long slash struck the solidified rocky mountain, producing a series of deafening booms.

Yet, the rocky mountain remained unmoved despite the slashing attack.

"Press!"

Within the domain, Qin Mu pressed down with his palm.

The rocky peaks, some a thousand meters high, pressed down heavily!

Like a mountain pressing down, the Tuoluo warriors who were unable to escape under the immense gravity were crushed into metal pieces.

The metal core hidden inside the body was completely crushed!

"attack!"

The nine golden swords that formed the "Sword Domain" were now as one as one. With a flick of Qin Mu's finger, they transformed into countless sword shadows, rushing towards the dozens of Tuoluo warriors who were attacking from afar, and then slashing them wildly.

"cut!"

Nine flaming swords, forming a domain of blades, swept across the sky, turning the metallic bodies of the Tuoluo warriors glowing red-hot amidst the raging flames!

One by one, the Tuoluo warriors were either cleaved in two by the flaming sword or split in two directly from the top of their heads.

The fracture surface is perfectly smooth, just like a mirror!

With each strike, a metal core shatters.

The entire battlefield was littered with shattered metal fragments!

Although this Tuoluo warrior is powerful, in terms of the fundamental law of metal, he is comparable to the second level of the Golden Wheel in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel, approaching the third level.

The second level of the Controller's Divine Weapon is virtually invincible in the Eternal Star System!

But it's only the second layer!

Qin Mu has already reached the fourth level of his comprehension of the four fundamental laws of metal, fire, earth, and space!

Furthermore, the Space Fortress secret technique aids in defense and suppression.

With the help of the illusion technique, even the thousand Tuoluo warriors were no match for them and were killed one by one.

Similarly, after leaving only the last Tuoluo warrior, Qin Mu severely injured him, used the Earth Origin Law to firmly suppress him, and then sat cross-legged on the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel to regulate his breathing.

The continuous battles were also a great drain on him.

This body, uniformly simulated in the virtual universe, is ultimately not the original body with ten times the genetic makeup of oneself.

If it were his own true form, with the tenfold genetic enhancement, the power of each strike would be greatly amplified, easily slaying these Tuoluo warriors.

"call--"

After a long while, once his strength had returned to its peak, Qin Mu exhaled a breath of stale air.

He stood up and killed the last Tuoluo warrior.

The surrounding scenery changed again.

The fourth level of the seventh trial tower is inhabited by 1000 strange cosmic creatures called "Flying Hou"!

"For me, hunting down the flying beasts on the fourth level might be even easier."

Qin Mu chuckled softly.

Flying Hou are creatures of flesh and blood! They have souls!

Although the strength of the Flying Hou in the fourth layer has been further enhanced, its application of the fundamental laws has completely reached the level of the third level of the master of divine weapons.

For a cosmic-level being, being able to unleash the third form is enough to be considered invincible among those of the same level!

If it were any other genius, encountering a thousand flying beasts that are considered invincible even at the cosmic level on a star level would almost certainly mean certain death.

But they encountered Qin Mu! Qin Mu, the ruler of the Zerg!

In the void, Qin Mu stepped on the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel, and the four sub-wheels of gold, fire, earth, and space simultaneously unleashed their third layers.

When facing a large number of opponents, the third layer of domain attack is more suitable than the fourth layer, which is more condensed and focuses on single-target attacks!

"Soul Lock! Open!"

"The Hundred Illusions!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Mu chose to take the initiative and attack!

Four major domains unfolded simultaneously in the void, with hundreds of illusory figures shuttling back and forth between them, dodging attacks while quickly approaching the flying beast on the opposite side.

Almost the same scene as dealing with the second layer of the Nine-Headed Python appeared: within the Soul Lock Realm, countless soul chains were entwined.

Wherever it passed, the flying beasts froze in place.

Unlike the nine-headed python, these flying beasts have extremely powerful souls. Even Qin Mu could not easily annihilate a flying beast that had reached the third level of its original law comprehension.

Golden swords and flaming blades pierced and slashed within the domain.

Unstoppable!

The Tuoluo warriors still had the power to resist Qin Mu, and Qin Mu had to kill them one by one.

However, these stronger flying beasts appeared quite powerless!

A soul attack; if you can't withstand it, this is the consequence!

The massacre has begun!

……

In the square, millions of geniuses had already fallen silent.

Even a random flying beast pulled out of the Trial Tower might not be a match for Berlan! Not to mention them.

At this moment, all they can do is look up.

An absolute gap in strength will only lead to worship, or even faith!

At this moment, everyone had lost the will to challenge Qin Mu.

Including Berlan.

If Bolan still had some ambition to catch up when Qin Mu passed the first and second levels, now...

He was filled with despair at the enormous gap between them!

"We're about to pass the fourth level and enter the fifth!"

Those 1008 immortals have also fallen silent.

The speaker was a towering, powerful figure who appeared in the square at some unknown time, exuding an aura similar to that of the Nine Swords Venerable and the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom.

Several powerful figures at the Venerable level had already appeared in the square.

The first three levels of the seventh trial tower, which are passed by a Hengxing level, represent the potential of a Venerable level.

The fourth and fifth levels represent the potential of a cosmic overlord, or even a cosmic master.

The last genius to reach the fifth level in the Genius Battle was countless eons ago.

To be able to break into the seventh trial tower at the Eternal Star level is something that might only happen once in ten million epochs among all of humanity's 1008 advanced cosmic nations!

A genius of this caliber is enough to alarm the true higher levels of the virtual universe.

The smile on the face of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler could no longer be concealed. How much debt could a peerless genius who could at least break into the fifth level of the seventh trial tower offset?

If Qin Mu can break into the sixth or even the seventh level.

Even the Lord of Chaos City wants to treat me to a drink!

Owe money?

Lao Tzu has nurtured a genius for humanity who has the potential to become a cosmic overlord, or even the master of the universe!

How much reward should you give me?!

Regardless of whether he personally taught them or not, they are from his Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and he even provided them with cultivation resources!

Those were trained by him, the shaman!

Is my luck finally about to change?

Thinking of this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom almost shed tears.

He was so unlucky before that he fell three times on the original planet!

If not all the treasures were lost and a huge debt was incurred, would a high-level cosmic venerable really need to become the ruler of a cosmic kingdom to cultivate geniuses to pay off the debt?

"Qin Mu's talent in the soul is too powerful, but the fifth level of the seventh trial tower is occupied by mechanical puppets, which are immune to all soul attacks."

Millions of years ago, when the Venerable Fire Eclipse participated in the Battle of Geniuses, it was on this very level that he failed.

A deep voice emanated from a venerable figure exuding a terrifying aura.

"Qin Mu has a very good chance of getting through. So far, he has been handling things with ease and hasn't even been injured."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom laughed, saying that with each level Qin Mu cleared, his debt decreased by one point.

If he's lucky, Qin Mu will pass the seventh level.

Owe money?

You still have to give me a reward!

Although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom also felt that it was unlikely that anyone could pass the seventh level, he still had high hopes in his heart.

"I hope so! I hope that another genius will emerge from our human race, a genius who can rival Koti!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the auras of the several Venerables became heavy.

"Where is Qin Mu's true form now? Who is protecting him?"

Nine Swords, who was in charge of hosting the Genius Battle, suddenly asked...

Upon hearing this, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom's expression changed.

"He is currently in the apothecary capital of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, where only his teacher is present! His teacher is an immortal apothecary who is not skilled in combat."

"Oh no, I'm coming right now!"

A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and the face of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler turned extremely ugly.

In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, within the Qianwu Secret Realm, the true form of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler vanished instantly, teleported!

The battle of geniuses takes place in a virtual universe, while their bodies remain in reality.

The battle of human geniuses is not just something that humans are paying attention to!

Many alien races in the universe are also constantly watching the battle of human geniuses.

It's easy to imagine what would happen if a peerless genius emerged among humanity and had no powerful protectors!

For various reasons, far too many geniuses have fallen from grace.

That genius, Koti, who was said to be born once in billions of epochs, perished before he could even grow up!

In previous publicity, Qin Mu's identity information had already been widely circulated.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire, in particular, practically wanted to spread all of Qin Mu's deeds throughout the entire universe.

In this situation, Qin Mu's location is open and transparent to the entire universe!

"Coty?!"

The face of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was contorted in horror.

He would go insane if his own country's genius were killed by a lurking alien spy at this moment!

His consciousness instantly connected with Yu Chen, the apothecary capital of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Damn it!"

Originally excited because his disciple was about to enter the fifth level of the Trial Tower, Yu Chen's face turned horrified after receiving the message from the Qianwu Kingdom Lord.

"Boom!"

Above the apothecary capital, countless dazzling ribbons of light swirled and suddenly changed, sealing off the entire apothecary capital.

These dazzling light bands are not just for viewing; they can also be a powerful defensive force in critical moments!

The once bustling city of pharmacists was instantly taken over by Yu Chen, who prohibited anyone from entering or leaving, and placed it under martial law.

All of this was accomplished in an instant.

As a pharmacist, Yu Chen is not good at fighting, but if it's in his lair, that's a different story!

"Let's see who dares to touch my disciple!"

Tensioning, Yu Chen revealed all his resources to prepare for potential enemies.

In the capital of pharmacists, Qin Mu, residing in his manor, was unaware of what was happening outside.

Inside the Trial Tower, he dared not be distracted; he had to concentrate fully and put all his energy into the Trial Tower.

In the seventh trial tower, after resting and restoring myself to peak condition.

Qin Mu's body disappeared, and he entered the fifth level!

The fifth floor of the Trial Tower contains 100 mechanical golems.

As puppets, they naturally have no soul.

Unlike the metallic lifeforms of the Tuoluo race, the mechanical puppets are equipped with extremely terrifying technological weapons.

Especially the mechanical golems in the seventh trial tower, their huge bodies are covered with weapons!

For example, the railgun on the arm!

Railguns come in many different specifications, and their maximum speed can reach the speed of light.

Of course, such railguns are very expensive. Even in the mechanical kingdom of the mechanical race, only extremely important units are equipped with light-speed long-range weapons.

The ranged attacks fired by the mechanical golems in the Trial Tower are far below the speed of light.

However, this was already extremely terrifying for Qin Mu, whose strength was only at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm.

As mechanical puppets, they can continue fighting as long as the control chip in their chests is not damaged.

The real test has begun!
