Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 188 Luo Feng! The Primal Secret Realm!

"Your swordsmanship is quite good! It's a pity your understanding of the laws is lacking."

In the void, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel rotated behind Qin Mu. Streams of light flew out from the Metal Wheel, Earth Wheel, and Space Wheel.

The third layer, the Earth Realm, unfolds.

Under immense pressure, Rong Jun's speed decreased by more than half.

The reason it was only doubled was because Rong Jun also comprehended the fundamental law of earth, which offset some of the influence.

Qin Mu waved his hand, and the domain formed by the nine golden swords easily kept Rong Jun a hundred meters away.

No matter how hard Rong Jun struggled, he could not break through the domain's blockade.

Even with his desperate burst of energy, it was all in vain.

His greatest strength is not his movement technique, but his swordsmanship.

Seeing that Rong Jun's strongest burst of power was only equivalent to the second level of the Golden Wheel's attack, Qin Mu shook his head.

With a slight increase in force, a golden sword easily knocked away the giant battle blade in Rong Jun's hand and pierced through his chest.

The difference in hard power is too great; it's not something that can be achieved simply by desperately unleashing one's full potential.

Off the stage, Qin Mu was not the first to finish his fight; when Rong Jun attacked, Bolan eliminated his opponent, Opatitra.

However, everyone could see that Qin Mu hadn't exerted any effort at all; otherwise, a single soul attack would have instantly eliminated Rong Jun.

"Sigh, there's a huge gap between our strengths, but I won't give up!"

Once I'm stronger, I'll challenge you again!

Back then, I wouldn't have been this weak!

Rong Jun stepped forward. Although he had been defeated, there was not much discouragement in his eyes.

The outcome of this battle was within his expectations, but unfortunately, he no longer had the right to make Qin Mu take him seriously.

"Commendable courage!"

Qin Mu didn't discourage him, but smiled and looked at the arena where the battle was still going on.

Apart from Qin Mu and Bo Lan, who had finished their battles, the other three arenas were still occupied with fighting.

Looking at Luo Feng's arena, the battle between Luo Feng and the savage martial artist Long Yun had only just begun.

After Long Yun stepped onto the arena, countless earth-yellow auras appeared around his body, forming an earth-yellow domain with a radius of 50 meters around him.

Luo Feng stood in mid-air, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, with nine golden streaks of light flying out from the dark golden staff behind him.

The nine golden sword beams, like the heads of nine golden dragons, roared and charged towards the savage warrior Long Yun, who stood firmly in place.

"With all four levels selected, this year's selection of the universe's top human geniuses has come to a perfect end."

The man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales smiled and said, "Your class is an exceptionally outstanding one. I believe that several decades or even hundreds of epochs from now, many of you will be renowned throughout the universe."

"Someone will contact you shortly to take you to the global headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company. You will gather there and then head to the 'Initial Universe'."

"From this day forward, your path will no longer be ordinary."

"My Virtual Universe Company will provide you with full support. Whether you become a super being renowned throughout the universe, an ordinary strongman, or perish along the way, it all depends on yourselves."

Work hard, your path to becoming a strong person has only just begun!

The voice of the man in the cyan battle robe with purple scales echoed in everyone's mind.

This year's Genius Battle has officially come to an end!

After the battle of geniuses ended, both the high and mighty Nine Swords Venerable and the 1008 powerful immortals left immediately.

However, Luo Feng and a thousand other young people remained there because a staff member nearby called out.

"Please don't leave yet. There are still some things I need to discuss with you regarding taking you to the headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company."

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong followed the others to the conference room on the second floor of Restaurant No. 2.

Qin Mu did not follow, because Venerable Guiyi had already sent him a message that he would personally lead Qin Mu to the Initial Universe.

They went there to fill in their addresses so that the Virtual Universe Company could arrange for spaceships to pick them up.

The reason we need to connect is because the journey to the initial universe is extremely long, with the farthest distance being about 15 billion light-years.

The distance between the dark universe and the original universe is 1:10,081,000. Even if you travel at the speed of light in the dark universe, it would take about 150 years to reach the original universe.

The F-class spaceship dispatched by Virtual Universe Company can reach fifty times the speed of light and arrive in just over three years.

Of course, there is an even more important point, which is actually a consideration for safety.

These thousand geniuses, including Qin Mu, were still too vulnerable in the face of true powerhouses like Realm Lords and Immortals, and it was very unsafe for them to travel on the spaceship.

Many powerful beings from other races would definitely try to assassinate human geniuses if they had the chance.

It was for this reason that Qin Mu did not travel on a spaceship like them, but was escorted by Venerable Guiyi.

The others might be ambushed, but Qin Mu would definitely be ambushed if he went alone.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all filled in addresses, but the addresses were not on Earth; they were on Hanyue Star.

After everything was settled, Qin Mu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen gathered together at the headquarters of Xinghe Trading Company on Heilongshan Island.

"In three years, we'll be able to reach the primordial universe. I can't wait! The legendary primordial universe must be incredibly amazing."

Thor's eyes held anticipation.

"I probably won't take that long; I should arrive before you."

Qin Mu smiled.

"You are different from us; a cosmic being has come to receive you! They truly value you!"

Thor clicked his tongue in amazement.

"If you had Qin Mu's talent and could conquer the Trial Tower, you'd receive the same treatment."

Hong glanced at Thor and retorted.

"How can I compare to this freak? I'm already very satisfied just to be able to enter the post-apocalyptic secret realm."

Thor laughed, seemingly unconcerned about Hong's attack.

"This Virtual Universe company is really rich! They dispatched a thousand F-class spaceships at once without even blinking an eye."

Luo Feng also sighed. He also had an F-class spaceship, but it was broken and needed to be repaired before he could use it.

"That's why they say Virtual Universe Company is rich and powerful!"

Thor was also amazed. This trip had broadened his horizons considerably. He had even seen a lot from the Venerable One, but he was still shocked by such a grand gesture.

"Speaking of spaceships, remember to bring that mechanical race spaceship with you when you go to Chaos City this time."

Qin Mu smiled.

"Why bring a machine race spaceship?"

Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled. That spaceship was still on Earth, with Babata responsible for translating the mechanical race's technology so that China could acquire it.

It was precisely because of these skills that Luo Feng earned a considerable income.

He receives a share of the profits from the products manufactured using these technologies, which directly results in his assets being second only to Qin Mu's.

"To save your life! There are dangers even in Chaos City!"

Qin Mu explained.

"What? There's danger even in Chaos City?"

Luo Feng was startled.

"Yes, I've heard my teacher say that Chaos City has three treasures."

The first treasure is the manifested operating law of the primordial universe.

The second treasure is the 52 Chaos Steles.

The third treasure is the Primordial True Spirit.

Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Qin Mu explained.

Teacher Yu Chen did indeed give him a detailed explanation of these things, just so that he could prepare in advance.

"This danger comes from the third treasure!"

The Chaos True Spirits are strange creatures that naturally emerged from the initial state of the universe, in this 'initial universe'.

These creatures have a strange appearance and are named "Chaos Beasts". These Chaos Beasts vary in strength, and each one is born with some kind of expertise in the fundamental laws. Some are good at more than others.

When a Chaos Beast is killed, it will directly decay into a large amount of Chaos Qi and a kind of emerald green light spot. This emerald green light spot is the core of the Chaos Beast. The Chaos Beast has no soul, only this life light spot, which is named Chaos True Spirit.

Simply absorb the Chaos True Spirit into your body, and it will be directly absorbed by your soul. After absorbing the Chaos True Spirit, your soul will undergo some changes, becoming more in harmony with the universe.

Qin Mu explained in detail, and then sent all the information he had collected to the three of them.

"My God, how can so many people die every single year!"

Thor exclaimed in surprise. The data listed the geniuses from previous years, and each time hundreds of people perished among them.

"The Chaos Beasts that these geniuses are willing to risk their lives to hunt must have immense benefits! We need to prepare in advance."

Hong said calmly.

"Okay, I understand! We'll bring the Mechanical Race spaceship with us. With that spaceship, we can hunt Chaos Beasts together, which will be much safer."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up as well.

This is the benefit of having prior information; it allows you to prepare in advance.

"There is a second matter, which concerns the second treasure, the 52 Chaos Steles!"

These 52 Chaos Steles represent 52 paths of cultivation, and each stele records numerous mysterious patterns and other details.

This is the direct path to the very top!

If you comprehend a Chaos Stele, you will directly become a true super being in the universe. Even if you wanted to create a cosmic kingdom, it would be an easy task.

Qin Mu said cautiously

"52 Chaos Stele tablets! Each Chaos Stele leads to the ultimate path!"

Hong's eyes lit up, and Luo Feng and Thor held their breath; this was astonishing.

"Once we arrive in Chaos City, we can all choose a Chaos Stele to cultivate upon arrival!"

But we only have seven days to reflect!

Therefore, you absolutely cannot waste the points awarded in the Genius Battle!

"Then, based on the Chaos Stele we choose, we can purchase the corresponding secret techniques, which can greatly accelerate our understanding of the Chaos Stele."

In the original timeline, Luo Feng, at Babata's urging, saw many secret techniques and treasures in the virtual universe vault on his way to Chaos City.

As a result, all the points were used up at once, and when it was time to actually use the points, none of them came out.

After entering the core of the virtual universe, Babata was no longer as helpful to Luo Feng, and sometimes even offered some wrong suggestions.

"Understood! We won't misuse it!"

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all nodded.

Just kidding, this concerns the path to the ultimate peak, who would dare to be careless?

While chatting and laughing, the group received emails at the same time.

This is account information from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

"The bonus from Virtual Universe Company has arrived."

Qin Mu's eyes lit up; the bonus of 1 Mixed Yuan Units was in his hands!

With these funds, the Zerg can expand their scale once again!

That's all I wanted to say, and I've just received my bonus.

You should all make some preparations and buy some life-saving supplies!

Qin Mu smiled.

"Yes! The money has arrived."

The group opened their emails and, sure enough, received notifications that their funds had been deposited into their accounts.

"This departure will last for a century. Spend these days with your family and friends, because soon you will all have to leave your hometown for an extended period."

I'm not going back to Earth. See you in Chaos City!

Qin Mu said.

"Yes, it's been over a hundred years since we left!"

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng all sighed, for they all had families.

Having been away from my hometown for over a century, I feel a great deal of reluctance.

See you in Chaos City!

I've been organizing materials and working on the next part of the plot these past few days, so updates will be a little later. There will be another update tonight.
