Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 217 Each Person's Growth

Above the eighteen layers of clouds above the ruins of the ancient gods, the mechanical spaceship disguised as a meteorite came to a stop.

"The Blood Continent is ridiculously large. The mechanical race's spaceship traveled at near the speed of light for more than two months."

Three figures flew out of the machine race's spaceship, Thor said.

"Only in secret realms can such a magical world be born."

Hong looked around, gazing at the swirling, blood-red mist below.

"Walk!"

The three of them transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the clouds below.

"As expected of the ruins of an ancient god, even the mist in the clouds gives me a bloodlust."

Feeling a peculiar aura affecting him from the crimson mist, Luo Feng murmured.

commotion!

His heart was in turmoil, as if he had a murderous urge.

"Brother Mu is right, this is the best place for me to temper my character."

However, the killing intent within the mist alone is insufficient; it is too weak to serve as a training exercise.

Guided by the location information in the virtual universe, the three of them quickly rushed downwards.

Looking down.

The mountains and rivers are shattered, the land is a wasteland, and there are broken walls everywhere. You can also see a series of super-large craters in the ground, each estimated to be hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

It looks like the footprint of some super giant beast.

Their destination was one of these super-large craters with a diameter exceeding ten thousand miles.

whoosh-

The three figures appeared at the edge of the crater. The surrounding void distorted, and demons dressed in black armor and wielding spears appeared and then quickly disappeared.

"That's... the Demon Slayer Clan!"

Luo Feng was taken aback; as someone who possessed a clone of the Demon Slayer Clan, he was most familiar with that kind of fluctuation.

At least a dozen members of the Demon Slayer Clan have just appeared!

When he and Qin Mu bought the Demon Slayer skin together, he and Babata had doubts about whether Qin Mu's swarm could breed the Demon Slayer race. Now the answer has been revealed.

The next moment, the endless malevolent energy in the giant pit assaulted his body and eroded his will.

"Such a strong malevolent aura."

Luo Feng felt an invisible force constantly tempting his mind, while another strange force was penetrating his skin and entering his body.

This strange power... cannot be stopped by either primal energy or telekinesis; it penetrates the body and then exits.

However, during this process, his body underwent some changes.

"kill!!!"

An endless killing intent surged into Luo Feng's soul, and due to the slow transformation of his body, a large amount of killing intent began to lurk deep within Luo Feng's body.

As time goes by, these murderous wills and souls merge into one; those with weak wills may even go insane. Even those with strong wills can become bloodthirsty.

"What an astonishing killing intent!"

Luo Feng stood silently, letting the endless slaughter continuously fill his mind.

"This lust for killing can temper my character. The stronger the desires, the better the opportunity to refine my inner self."

Just as Luo Feng was feeling the impact of the killing intent, a figure rushed straight up from the giant pit.

Qin Mu stood in mid-air, a smile on his face.

"Haha, it's great to see you again."

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, who were experiencing the impact of the evil energy, also showed smiles.

"Brother Mu, this place is indeed very suitable for tempering my will. Just staying on the edge of this giant pit makes me feel that I have gained a lot."

Luo Feng laughed.

Hong and Lei Shen nodded, clearly also feeling the transformative effect of the evil energy on their bodies.

"The malevolent energy at the edge of this giant pit isn't too strong yet. Follow me; I've carved out a cave below where you can rest for a while."

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

Led by Qin Mu, the three followed closely behind, falling continuously into the giant pit.

After venturing thousands of kilometers deeper, they indeed found a cave dwelling that had been carved out, and the malevolent energy here was significantly denser than at the edge of the giant pit.

The cave dwelling is quite simple, without much decoration.

The group casually found a place to sit down, and then Qin Mu spoke.

"It is still on the edge of the evil energy vortex. The real core area is not at the bottom of the pit, but in the central area of ​​the giant pit."

There lies a core of malevolent energy there, a hundred times more concentrated than here!

After a pause, Qin Mu continued.

"Break into the core of the evil energy, and you will be able to enter the interior of a red sphere of light, where there are eight golden runes emitting golden light."

Bathing in golden light will cause the body to transform rapidly, thousands of times faster than the transformation caused by the evil energy here.

Moreover, there were two strange ancient images within the light.

After hearing these words, Luo Feng and the other two were deeply moved.

For Luo Feng, the stronger the impact of the intense killing energy, the better it would temper his mind, which was exactly what he wanted.

As for the physical transformation, that's not important.

Having identified his weaknesses, he focused on improving them. After the initial setback, Luo Feng had completely adjusted his mindset and calmed down.

"Those ancient images can be seen here occasionally, but they are so clear."

After this period of exploration, I have found hundreds of cores of malevolent energy.

Leaving aside the golden runes within the core of the malevolent energy, which are far too profound, even I have only grasped the basics.

The ancient images within are all different; you can take a look at this vortex of malevolent energy.

I recorded all the hundreds of images of malevolent energy vortexes I discovered. Although they don't have that unique charm, they can still be used for reference.

You can look into them and see which one suits you best.

Unlike Luo Feng, the killing intent within the vortex of malevolent energy wasn't as effective for Hong and Lei Shen. What mattered more was the transformation of their bodies by the golden light and the ancient images.

Seeing that Qin Mu had already made all the arrangements, the three of them were already itching to make their move.

Although Luo Feng knew beforehand that he might not be able to reach the core depths with his own will, he still had a strong drive.

It's okay if you can't get in now. As long as you keep practicing, you'll be able to get in sooner or later.

Having arrived on the Blood Luo Continent, he had already received enough good fortune. Now, what was more important was to temper his mind and will!

On the way here, his golden-horned behemoth clone had already fused with a large amount of Blood Crystal.

Just as Qin Mu said, the Golden Horned Beast was naturally suited to fusing Blood Crystals, and it directly fused 80 crystals at once, resulting in a qualitative leap in its strength.

Of course, he was also quite curious about the innate beast god battle phantom that Qin Mu had mentioned.

Seeing that all three were interested, Qin Mu laughed heartily.

"Let's go straight to the core of that malevolent energy and see for yourselves. You'll understand once you feel it."

"good!"

The three of them responded in unison.

Qin Mu didn't hesitate; everyone was there to cultivate, and time was precious. He then led the three straight towards the core area of ​​the malevolent energy that he had already explored.

The closer they got to the core, the denser the surrounding malevolent energy became.

The killing intent that surged into their consciousness grew stronger and more terrifying, as if countless killing demons were howling. The howls of the demons were either forceful or intangible, constantly tempting and seducing the four people's will.

Suddenly, Luo Feng stopped flying.

"No, I'm almost at my limit. If I go any deeper, I won't be able to resist the impact of that malevolent energy."

When exposed to a malevolent aura and invaded by the will to kill, the will to kill will invade the consciousness. If one cannot withstand it, one will become obsessed with killing and will fall into madness.

That's no different from death; even having a clone wouldn't help.

No matter how many clones there are, their will is unified and there is only one. Once they become possessed by demons, all the clones will fall into madness.

"I will train and temper my will here; you all continue onward."

Luo Feng laughed.

"Okay, let's go check out the core area first."

Hong nodded, without saying anything, and Luo Feng didn't need such comfort.

Seeing Qin Mu, Lei Shen, and Hong easily venture deeper into the territory, seemingly unaffected, Luo Feng silently calculated in his mind.

"The concentration of malevolent energy here is about seven times that of Qin Mu's cave."

This is my current limit, but as long as I keep honing my willpower, I can continue to improve.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu, Hong, and Lei Shen had already penetrated deep into the core area.

The malevolent energy here was as red as fresh blood, and it was swirling in a vortex that was visible to the naked eye.

Needless to say, Qin Mu, Hong, and Lei Shen also remained quite composed in the face of this baleful aura, directly charging into the core red sphere.

"Ang, Mo, Da..."

A voice that pierced directly into the soul echoed continuously in the consciousness of the three, ancient notes without any pattern, each note containing a supreme, endless, and ancient aura.

"My God, what is this thing?!"

Hong and Lei Shen stared in awe at the eight kilometer-long golden law runes at the core, which emitted golden light that illuminated the surrounding area.

The flowing golden light continuously revealed two images.

But what is even more eye-catching is that floating in that golden light is a giant fleshy chamber that is five kilometers long.

Inside the flesh-and-blood chamber was a humanoid creature, a thousand meters tall, resembling a demon god.

A single golden horn stands proudly atop his head, while his body is covered in a layer of dark red scales with countless intricate patterns.

Golden wings spread out behind its body, and a thick tail extends, swaying behind it from time to time.

"This is my greatest achievement in genetic research over the years, but it's still a work in progress."

Seeing the two turn to look at him, Qin Mu shook his head.

"Such a massive body, and those secret runes on it!"

My God, what a creature with so many times more genes!

Thor exclaimed in shock.

"It's not as strong as you think. It barely reaches 30 times the gene strength, and it's not even stable."

They can barely survive for three to five years under this golden light, but once they leave this place, their genes will collapse and they will die within a year at most.

If the power of blood within its body were activated and amplified, it could potentially reach approximately 2000 times the genetic potential.

Qin Mu explained with a smile.

However, upon hearing Qin Mu's explanation, Hong and Lei Shen became even more agitated.

"How many times? 2000!"

Although they knew that Qin Mu was researching bloodlines and would definitely have some trump cards up his sleeve, they were still shocked when they heard Qin Mu say that this demon-like giant had a genetic advantage of 2000 times.

After being continuously enhanced, their gene multiplier had reached 60, but the gap was still too great compared to the demon god with 2000 times the gene multiplier.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. It's just that it was enhanced by fusing more than 70 Blood Crystals, otherwise it would only have 30 times the gene."

It's far from perfect and can't handle high-intensity combat. I'm still working on ways to adjust it.

Qin Mu was not satisfied; this was still far from the perfect body he had envisioned.

However, compared to before, there has been a great improvement.

Even if this experimental subject leaves this place, it can survive for more than a year and can barely be used in combat.

"That's outrageous enough, considering how long you've been researching!"

Thor shook his head.

After calming themselves down, the two looked at the golden law runes and the two images.

Thor is alright, he just seems very powerful, but I can't understand him at all.

He cultivates the fundamental laws of lightning and time, but has almost no understanding of the fundamental laws of space.

Although he could sense the artistic conception in the two paintings, he used a knife.

So after just one look, I noticed changes in my own body.

Bathed in golden light, his body was rapidly transforming, every cell in his body seemed to be boiling.

Hong's eyes burned with desire. He wasn't looking at the golden law runes, but rather at the two images that kept appearing in the flowing golden light!

In the image, one side is a monster resembling a giant lizard.

On one side, a long spear tore through space and time, arriving with unparalleled momentum.

The giant lizard-like monster lowered its head and roared, its sharp horns flashing with golden light as it charged forward.

The two images appear and disappear at times.

"That marksmanship! That kind of marksmanship that pierces through time and space!"

The profound meaning contained within that spear that pierced the air deeply shocked Hong, as if he had grasped something, yet he couldn't understand it for the time being.

Hong's greatest skill is marksmanship!

"Thor, there's an ancient image within another vortex of malevolent energy that contains the essence of swordsmanship. You could go take a look; it might be more suitable for you there."

Seeing that Hong was lost in thought, Qin Mu said to Lei Shen.

"Swordsmanship?!"

Thor's eyes lit up. Just because the two ancient images were useless to him didn't mean the others were useless!

Before the three arrived, he had mentioned that they might need to cultivate separately.

The four people took different paths, and naturally, the ancient images they needed to comprehend were also different.

"Hmm, and Luo Feng too. Let's see which vortex of malevolent energy he wants to go to."
