Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 226 Preparation! The Abyss of Purgatory

Inside the cultivation room of the Primitive Secret Realm Manor, Qin Mu waved his hand, and 132 divine weapons appeared before him.

"These weapons are not needed; we can sell them all to Virtual Universe Company to make money."

"Virtual Universe System, scanning system activated."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Mu sent out a scanning beam from the intelligent light brain on his wrist, which swept across the 132 divine weapons in turn.

"The Crimson Blood Blade is worth 350 million Chaos Yuan."

"The Sirius Battle Axe is worth 380 million Chaos Yuan."

"Soul Splitter Claw, valued at 360 million Chaos Yuan."

"..."

"The Fire Scale Armor is worth 860 million Chaos Yuan."

"The Fiery Hell Armor, worth 2300 million Chaos Yuan!"

"..."

The names and prices of each expensive divine weapon appeared in the computer, along with details; clicking on them would reveal the specific information.

However, Qin Mu remained unmoved, because he had a general idea of ​​the value of these weapons.

"The Eclipse Wings are worth 7 million Chaos Yuan."

"The Bloodthirsty Gun, worth 18 billion Chaos Yuan!"

"The Beast God Armor is worth 30 billion Chaos Yuan!"

After processing the detailed data, a smile finally appeared on Qin Mu's lips.

After thirty years of planning, they acquired 132 divine weapons, totaling 103 billion Chaos Yuan!

Most immortal kings only have this much wealth in their entire fortune.

Not everyone can be as lucky as Luo Feng, who obtained Locke Divine Water worth over 60 billion Hunyuan from a single Domain Lord assessment task.

Even if one were to achieve immortality and become a king, it would take countless years to accumulate such wealth.

Most of the treasures in the Immortal Temple's C-class vault are for ordinary immortals, a portion is for immortals who have been granted the title of Marquis, and a very small portion is for powerful immortals who have been granted the title of King.

If Qin Mu had swept away Treasure House A and Treasure House B, their value would probably have been hundreds or even thousands of times greater.

Of course, this doesn't include the hundreds of millions of Blood Crystals.

Blood Crystals are worthless in the Immortal Temple, but in the outside world, they are treasures that even Universe Venerables would covet.

"Selling all 58 of these offensive weapons, such as knives, swords, and axes, that the insect swarm doesn't need, should net them around 3 million Chaos Yuan."

Keep all three claw-type weapons; they can be used by the Starry Sky Beast. Also keep the two spear weapons.

After picking and choosing for a while, Qin Mu waved his hand and put 58 weapons of various kinds into a spatial ring.

"There are 46 pieces of armor in total. Compared to weapons, armor is more valuable, with almost all of them costing around ten million Hunyuan."

After another difficult selection process, Qin Mu chose 16 items to sell.

These 16 pieces of armor are worth approximately 2 million Hunyuan.

Unlike weapons, armor and auxiliary treasures are also useful to insect swarms, and Qin Mu does not plan to sell them all.

Once refined, armor-type treasures can automatically adjust their size according to the user's body.

Standard weapons like the armor and general's armor that Luo Feng later acquired can be used by both human bodies and golden-horned behemoths.

However, to use these armors, one must at least reach the level of a World Lord to activate them, and even then, it may be difficult.

Qin Mu planned to wait until the swarm's level reached the World Lord level before letting the Starry Sky Beasts with the peak bloodline in the swarm use it.

A star beast with treasures can increase its strength several times over.

"This batch of treasures is worth about 103 Hunyuan in total, but the bulk of the value comes from the Beast God Armor, the Bloodthirsty Spear, and the Lunar Eclipse Wings. These three treasures together account for more than half of the total value."

"Only 500 million Chaos Yuan are available for sale!"

Qin Mu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't really want to sell the remaining treasures, but five hundred million Chaos Yuan was clearly not enough.

Domain Lord level is fine, but it won't be enough once the insect swarm reaches World Lord level.

The amount of flesh and blood resources required to upgrade a star beast with peak Domain Lord bloodline to World Lord level would be millions or even tens of millions of Chaos Yuan.

It should be noted that there are more than 40 star behemoths of various peak bloodlines in the swarm!

In addition, there are a large number of powerful bloodlines, ordinary bloodlines of star beasts, and numerous main force units.

"Forget it, I've already sold the Bloodthirsty Gun, the Lunar Eclipse Wings, and the Beast God Armor. I can't use them now, so I might as well use them to improve the overall strength of the swarm."

"The Zerg swarm is my foundation. I plan to stay in the Abyss of Purgatory for at least several decades, perhaps even a century, and I must accumulate sufficient resources!"

Qin Mu made a decision after a moment's thought.

These three treasures are all weapons of the level of a King-level expert, so they are very expensive. However, to truly unleash their power, one must at least reach the Marquis level.

Moreover, even if it were to unleash its full power, it would only reach the level of a king.

But if these resources were invested in the swarm, the benefits would be far greater!

It should be noted that even a combined attack of a million Zerg led by Irina can reach the level of a King.

How much does it cost to hatch a million Zerg Lords?

Even using only cosmic crystals, choosing the most expensive Hunter Mantis only costs 5000 million Chaos Yuan!

The three King-level weapons, with a total value of 55 billion Chaos Yuan, are enough to build 110 such Zerg legions.

If we use our authority to buy Zerg corpses from the garbage star system, the number will be ten times greater!

More than a thousand Zerg legions could overwhelm and kill several King-level warriors.

Of course, the calculation cannot be done that way; the value of a single King-level warrior is far greater than that of one or two Zerg legions.

But it would be more worthwhile to use these resources on the swarm.

Qin Mu's foundation lies in the insect swarm!

The stronger the swarm, the stronger he becomes!

Furthermore, Qin Mu had some thoughts in mind. These weapons were only at the King-level. His teacher, the Chaos City Lord, had once said that he should go find him after reaching the World Lord level, and it was highly likely that they would be the same treasures given to Luo Feng in the original timeline.

Perhaps at that time, we might be able to obtain a great treasure, or even a supreme treasure, from our teacher.

These three treasures won't be of much use by then.

Even if all else fails, with my own strength, I have no problem passing through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Universe level. After reaching the Realm Lord level, I am confident that I can pass through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level after a period of reflection!

Those are hundreds of billions of points, more valuable than hundreds of billions of Hunyuan.

It's not too late to buy it then!

Therefore, after careful consideration, keeping these three treasures is not worthwhile!

Qin Mu did not sell all the treasures; he kept some of the weaker ones.

Because the weapons used by these Marquis-level soldiers will be able to unleash most of their power once the insect swarm reaches the World Lord level.

With the combined gene multiplication of the swarm, even if we don't talk about the combat power to be a king, being a marquis is definitely not a problem.

"Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who would sell them individually; if they were sold in a row, the price might be higher."

A thought popped into Qin Mu's mind: selling directly to Virtual Universe Company would be a loss for him.

You can choose to sell them individually, but if you auction them, it's uncertain how long it will take to sell them.

It's normal for weapons and equipment of this caliber to go unsold for hundreds of years.

Qin Mu didn't want to spend that much time.

After making the decision, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed the sale, and knew that people from the Virtual Universe Company would soon come to the Primal Secret Realm to collect the treasure.

"The total value of the divine weapons sold was 60 billion Hunyuan."

Most of this funding was used to purchase biological flesh and blood, and a portion was used to purchase cultivation resources to enhance the strength of creatures like the Golden Horned Beast and the Iceberg Beast.

A panel appeared, and Qin Mu began to select from it.

There's not much to choose from when it comes to biological flesh and blood, unless you're like Luo Feng, personally going to garbage star systems to hunt for treasures and slowly selecting what you need.

But if Qin Mu were to buy such a large quantity, and had to select it himself, even several hundred years wouldn't be enough time.

Qin Mu would never spend his time on this.

So just pick the items first, and place the order as soon as the funds arrive.

Given his status, few people would dare to take advantage of him.

Besides biological flesh and blood, there are various cultivation resources.

Take the Golden Horned Beast as an example. All five Golden Horned Beasts in the swarm have cultivated the secret technique "Original World". Reaching the first level can increase their strength threefold!

The function of this ultimate technique is actually quite simple. Once this technique is used, the Golden Horned Beast will continuously shrink, and its muscle and bone density will become increasingly astonishing, thus instantly increasing its strength several times over... The legendary limit is as high as 36 times.

Enlarging allows the Golden Horned Beast to fly faster.

This secret method is divided into three levels.

The first level increases strength by 3 times.

The second level can increase the power by up to 9 times.

The third level can provide a maximum boost of 36 times.

Each level up requires astronomical amounts of resources, which increase exponentially.

Qin Mu's money was only enough to upgrade to the first level.

To master this second level, it would take over 10 billion points to defeat a single golden-horned behemoth!

These are points, not money!

The Iceberg Beast also possesses a complete lineage, and Qin Mu selected a secret technique from it that was similar to his own Heaven and Earth.

Since the three peak bloodline behemoths—the Flame Star Beast, the Hill and Valley Beast, and the Destroying Soaring Beast—had no inheritance, Qin Mu selected two ordinary secret techniques from the inheritances of the Golden Horn Beast and the Ice Mountain Beast for them to cultivate.

Although the increase in strength is not as much as that of the Golden Horned Beast, it is still about twice as much.

"Besides the Zerg units, my own strength also needs to be improved."

Of the many Zerg secret techniques, I have only practiced "Heart of the Swarm," "Spatial Control," and "Primal Zerg Codex."

It's time to choose a soul-amplifying arcane art.

Qin Mu pondered that unlike the Golden Horned Beast, which was skilled in close combat, the Devouring Insect Clan was good at soul attacks, illusions, and combined attacks.

The Golden Horned Beast possesses a body amplification technique called "Original Heaven and Earth," and the Zerg naturally also have a soul amplification technique.

However, the resources required for cultivating these secret techniques are too extravagant, so I did not choose to cultivate them.

Now that we have enough resources, of course we need to consider it.

Qin Mu chose a special soul amplitude-type secret technique called "Ten Thousand Soul Insect Seal," which is divided into six layers.

The first layer has an amplitude of 2 times.

The second layer has an amplitude of 4 times.

The third layer has an amplitude of 8 times.

……

The sixth layer experienced an amplitude of 64 times!

This is a special secret technique that only the Zerg can cultivate, and it can instantly increase soul power!

The "cosmic limit" of the amplitude that the "body" can vibrate is 100 times! The "cosmic limit" of the instantaneous amplitude of the soul is also 100 times!

Reaching an amplitude of 64 times is already incredibly impressive; very few beings below the level of the Lord of the Universe can achieve this.

Qin Mu's psychic power amplitude has reached 2400, or 24 times the amplitude, after continuous strengthening!

But this is entirely an innate talent of being a swarm leader, and cannot be calculated using common sense.

After calculating the resources that need to be purchased, it comes to more than 30 billion Hunyuan.

Qin Mu used all of the remaining two billion Hunyuan to purchase biological flesh and blood.

After selecting the items to buy, the staff of Virtual Universe Company arrived at Qin Mu's manor in less than a day.

After inspecting the goods, Qin Mu quickly received 60 billion Hunyuan in his bank account.

"The feeling of suddenly becoming rich and then penniless is truly unbearable."

Qin Mu clicked "Confirm" on the menu of the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault, and the 60 billion Hunyuan instantly dwindled to only 300 million Hunyuan.

The order has been placed, but because Qin Mu bought so many things, many of them need to be mobilized. Even the Virtual Universe Company would need about six months to gather them all.

"Everything has been purchased. Now we're waiting for the goods to arrive, then we'll accept the mission and prepare for the next training exercise."

Although he had six months of free time, Qin Mu did not plan to take on any tasks as a transition period, but instead began to conserve his energy.

Even he will have to be careful in the next world!

Because Qin Mu chose not only a perilous mission, but also the most difficult one of them—the Purgatory Abyss!
