Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 218 Planning the Immortal Temple

The cave at the bottom of the pit.

After experiencing the ancient images within the core space of the malevolent energy vortex, the four of them did not stay for long before returning.

The four sat facing each other, discussing what to do next.

"Luo Feng, there is no evil energy in the core space. Theoretically, I can bring you in through the World Ring or the internal space, but I still suggest that you hone your will to get in on your own."

Compared to studying ancient images, I believe cultivating willpower is more important.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Mu, I think so too. My strength has increased tremendously since coming to the Blood Luo World. As long as I hone my will and fuse with the Blood Luo Crystal, my human body can increase its strength by 60 times."

Needless to say, the Golden Horned Beast's power increased even more dramatically after fusing with 80 Blood Crystals.

Forcing further improvement would only be counterproductive!

Luo Feng nodded without hesitation. He was well aware of his shortcomings and was not in a hurry to improve them.

"Yes, compared to strength, mental state is invisible and intangible, but it becomes more important as you progress in cultivation."

Hong nodded.

"Have you seen the battle phantom of the naturally born divine beast? If you can comprehend even a little bit of it, it should be very helpful in improving the strength of the Golden Horned Beast."

Qin Mu asked.

"I've seen it, and it was truly awe-inspiring. The phantom contained an extremely profound power."

However, it doesn't quite match my fighting style. I'm better at using my hooves and claws to attack, while that shadowy figure uses the horn on its head.

Especially when fusing with the Blood Crystal, I only fused with the right hoof.

Luo Feng frowned and said.

Because of its enormous size, the Golden Horned Beast could only be fused with a portion of its body by a single Blood Crystal.

To make the advantage even more obvious, Luo Feng made the same choice as in the original timeline: to integrate everything into his right hoof claw.

"This is exactly what I wanted to tell you. Look, these are ancient images from hundreds of evil energy cores that I have recorded. Take a look."

As Qin Mu spoke, he raised his hand, and a virtual screen appeared in the void, projecting hundreds of images.

"These images and images do not contain any power; they are only for your reference."

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng quickly examined the images carefully and found that most of the hundreds of images depicted battle scenes.

"This one attacks with its hooves! And this one too!"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up. Although he intended to temper his will, he would certainly not refuse something that could also make him stronger.

"There are three ancient images depicting guns, and I want to experience them firsthand!"

Hong also showed surprise on his face.

"Haha, there are four sets of knives!"

Thor smiled too.

Seeing that everyone had started to choose, Qin Mu did not stop them. However, when Luo Feng chose one of the paintings, Qin Mu frowned slightly.

Luo Feng happened to witness this scene and asked curiously.

Is there a problem with this picture?

Qin Mu shook his head.

"There's nothing wrong with this picture, but there's someone in this pit."

He is an elite disciple of the Immortal Temple, named Blood God "Ba Qi", known as the greatest genius in the Immortal Temple in billions of years, and has already fused eight Blood Crystals.

He possessed the strength of a Realm Lord, and was accompanied by a Realm Lord-level wild beast. My insect swarm suffered some losses there.

Because I was worried about attracting the attention of the Temple of Immortality, I did not forcefully kill him.

After testing the waters, I left a hidden mole in his possession and then left it alone.

When Qin Mu encountered this Blood God "Ba Qi", he was a little surprised, because in the original timeline, it was this person who forcibly took Luo Feng as his subordinate.

This should be the only time in Luo Feng's life that he was forcibly taken in as a subordinate, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the Blood God 'Overlord's' life.

Not only the Blood God "Ba Qi", but the swarm also encountered many elite disciples of the Immortal Temple, some of whom were secretly controlled by the swarm.

Several people have been genetically modified by Qin Mu, and they will be sent to the Temple of Immortality in a while.

Of course, the insect swarm suffered considerable losses, but overall it still made a profit.

"Fusing eight Blood Crystals?"

Luo Feng was shocked. No wonder he was the greatest genius in the Temple of Decay for billions of years. Even after Qin Mu modified his body, he only fused with 7.

"You actually managed to kill a Realm Lord by force?!"

Thor stared at Qin Mu in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

If I'm not mistaken, Qin Mu is now at the same cosmic level as him!

A cosmic-level killer of a realm lord!

"Yes, that person is indeed a genius. It wouldn't be difficult for my swarm to kill him by force, but a genius of this caliber is bound to have a backup plan from the Immortal Temple."

They also have communicators; if the message reaches the Temple of Immortality, a large group of immortals will come after them, which would be troublesome.

Qin Mu smiled.

"You win."

Thor was speechless; this was at a cosmic level!

"Then I won't go there. There are plenty of ancient phantoms that fight with hooves and claws. I'll just go somewhere else."

Luo Feng said.

The temple here is controlled by the Immortal Temple, which houses a large number of immortal beings.

There's no need to cause this trouble over a single image.

"Well, let's ignore him for now and focus on our own cultivation. We'll go and do something big when we're ready to leave the Blood Luo World!"

Some of my men have already infiltrated the Temple of Immortality and discovered quite a few valuable items!

Qin Mu smiled.

"Infiltrate the Temple of Immortality? You want to plunder the Temple of Immortality?"

Hongdu was stunned by Qin Mu's idea; it was simply audacious!

Luo Feng and Thor were also shocked. This was going too far. Those were immortals, and a whole group of them!

"Give it a try. If you manage to get something good, everyone who sees it gets a share! If you don't, then forget it."

Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Take it easy, you can handle it yourself."

Hong nodded. Fortune favors the bold, after all. He and Thor had entered the most ruins during their time on Earth, so how could he not understand this mentality?

"Let's not talk about that now. Go and check these places yourselves using the location tracking. I have people there, so your safety is guaranteed."

Qin Mu said with a smile that although the three of them were traveling on Luo Feng's mechanical race spaceship, Hong and Thor had also purchased spaceships, which were of similar level to the mechanical race spaceships.

"Okay! Let's go see where it's suitable first."

The three laughed, saying that this was something they had agreed on long ago, and they were all quite looking forward to it.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu frowned, then relaxed, which made the three of them think something had happened, so they quickly asked.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said.

"It's a good thing, the swarm of insects has discovered a treasure left behind by a fallen world lord underground."

My swarm is exploring and should be able to find something.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were somewhat puzzled.

"A fallen realm lord?"

"Yes, the Ruins of the Ancient Gods is an ancient battlefield where countless immortals have fallen, and even more world lords have died."

Most of these corpses and relics were looted by the Temple of Immortality, but some were left behind.

This is the second relic discovered by the insect swarm, hidden thousands of miles underground. I was just lucky to find it.

It's a pity it's not an immortal relic; a typical realm lord's worth is only a few dozen Chaos Yuan at best.

For more than a year, large numbers of rock giants have been wandering deep beneath the ruins of the ancient gods, searching for any possible remains.

As a child of the earth, the rock giant could easily sense the pulse of the earth and had previously discovered the remains of a world lord.

However, for the Zerg swarm today, the wealth of a Realm Lord is nothing.

The three of them were relieved; this was an ancient battlefield, so it wasn't surprising to find a fallen realm lord.

"We'll be going now. Contact us in the virtual universe if you need anything!"

The three of them transformed into streaks of light and shot into the sky, each taking out a spaceship and heading towards their destination.

After arranging things for the three of them, Qin Mu stopped worrying about them and turned back to the core of the vortex of evil energy.

"I've done everything I needed to do. Now I'll focus on my spiritual practice and research."

"Unfortunately, my application to the Virtual Universe Company for the method of creating the Blood of the Beast God was rejected."

If we could mass-produce the Blood of the Beast God, we could allow the experimental subject to fuse one hundred of them to complete the transformation.

Perhaps by then, the genes in his body will have stabilized.

Qin Mu thought with some regret.

Two years ago, he applied to Virtual Universe Company for a method to extract the blood of the Beast God, but Virtual Universe Company did not agree.

It's not that he didn't agree, but rather that he directly said his strength was too weak, something that only a Venerable-level expert could do.

This relieved Qin Mu, and he also guessed that the technology itself was probably nothing special; it was likely that a Venerable-level expert forcibly extracted blood from the Blood Crystal through some method.

This means that it takes one hundred Blood Crystals to extract a single drop of Beast God's Blood.

It should be noted that, apart from lacking the impact of malevolent energy, the Blood of the Beast God has the same effect as a Blood Crystal.

However, there was some good news. The Virtual Universe Company replied that as long as one's strength reaches the level of a Realm Lord, one can apply for 100 drops of Beast God Blood for free.

"There's no way to take shortcuts; we can only take it one step at a time."

……

Time flies, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the heart of the ruins of the ancient gods lies an ancient temple, spanning approximately one million square kilometers and composed entirely of black and red.

Inside a palace on the 9016th floor.

"Hou Qiao".

A figure shrouded in black armor and helmet stood before the throne, looking down at the crowd, his voice booming like thunder.

Below, a man in a white uniform is kneeling on the ground with his head buried in the earth.

"For the next hundred years, you will be responsible for guarding the C-class treasure vault on the 9016th floor."

The armored figure spoke slowly.

"Yes, great God."

The man in white knelt down and said respectfully.

Go!

As the armored figure spoke, he vanished from the palace.

The man in white then stood up.

"After planning for thirty years, we've finally found an opportunity to access this treasure vault."

"No one seems to care about those 15 Beast God statues. I've had people guarding them for twelve years, just waiting for the right opportunity."

The man in white, Hou Qiao, is the same identity the Iceberg Beast used when it infiltrated the Immortal Temple.
