Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 232 Outbreak! The Power of the Swarm

wow——

An invisible force of thought swept across the battlefield.

A million Zerg souls combine for a single attack!

In an instant, a vacuum appeared on the battlefield.

In the sky, the three-headed demon who had snatched the [Abyssal Crystal] froze, its soul shattering.

The combined attack technique appeared for the first time in the Abyss of Purgatory.

With a single combined attack, three great demons perished.

Although the Great Demon was powerful, it was still too weak to face the combined soul attack of a million ninth-level domain lords of the Zerg.

The moment they died, the Demon Slayer appeared and seized three [Abyss Crystals].

On the massive body of the Golden Horned Beast, roaring images of beast gods appeared one after another, the golden horn runes on its head lit up, the power of Bloodlust erupted, and its talent was activated.

The figure that blotted out the sky on the battlefield struck with a single blow, causing the earth to tremble, the air to explode, and tens of thousands of demons to be smashed into mincemeat.

Amidst the mangled corpse, a [Abyssal Crystal] was enveloped in creep, and a vine along the creep network transported the [Abyssal Crystal] to the Mother Nest.

In just five days, the fungal carpet had already covered the entire battlefield.

These demons have always fought on the creep. It's not that no demon has tried to burn the creep, but they simply can't.

There was a Balrog that used its flames to continuously burn the creep, but when the flames subsided, the creep would instantly cover it again.

It was unaware that what was on the ground was only a very small portion of the fungal carpet that was exposed.

The fungal carpet has penetrated deep into the earth for several kilometers, or even tens of kilometers.

It is impossible to completely clean all the fungal carpet unless the entire land is stripped away.

As long as there is even a trace of fungal carpet remaining, they will quickly absorb the surrounding nutrients and multiply rapidly.

This is why the insect swarm keeps dying, yet its numbers keep increasing.

On the battlefield, all the dead Zerg and Demons, as long as there is even a trace of their corpses, will be absorbed by the creep and converted into energy to hatch new Zerg.

On the other side, the Hive Tyrant also erupted, its thousand-meter-tall body transforming into a streak of light, its blood-red spear instantly piercing through a giant battle axe, and then piercing through the Minotaur Demon.

With a power burst of 6400 times, even though this minotaur demon's strength was comparable to that of a peak world lord, it was still killed.

The huge battle axe in its hand was shattered.

The weapon in the demon's hand was at most comparable to a fifth-tier weapon, and even that was one of the worse fifth-tier weapons. Compared to the burst of power from the insect hive tyrant and the divine weapon, it was no match for the demon's own weapon.

The absolute difference in strength and weaponry meant it couldn't withstand a single blow.

The swarm erupted instantly, and four great demons, equivalent to world lords, perished in an instant.

On the ground, the surging swarm of insects roared deafeningly and launched a violent counterattack.

The demons, who had besieged the insect swarm for five days, had their defenses breached almost instantly.

Although the demons are skilled in combat and each possesses an extremely strong fighting instinct, they lack the tacit coordination that the swarm has.

This makes it difficult for them to form effective tactical coordination when facing swarms of insects, even though they can fight fiercely with their strong individual strength. As a result, they cannot exert their maximum combat power.

However, the demon army had an absolute numerical advantage, outnumbering the insect swarm tenfold.

This allows them to create a powerful impact in battle, constantly launching fierce attacks on the swarm.

Although the Zerg swarm excels at coordinated combat, it is forced into a fierce battle when faced with such a massive demon army.

The battle was extremely brutal, with blood splattered everywhere and severed limbs flying all over the sky.

The roars of the demons and the hiss of the insect swarm mingled together.

"Georges Corral, join forces!"

First, eliminate these outsiders, then divide the [Abyssal Crystals].

A bat-winged great demon roared in demonic language, its demon army reduced to ashes by the fiery attacks of three-legged giant birds, which made it restless.

"Collum Mills, my army will tear these damned bugs to shreds!"

The bull-headed demon roared angrily, and its army of berserker demons suffered heavy losses under the charge of a herd of giant elephants.

In an instant, more than twenty great demons made the decision to join forces.

The swarm's attack was too swift; none of them could withstand it.

"roar--"

A group of hellfire demons, thousands of meters tall and engulfed in flames, charged to the front of the battlefield and clashed violently with a group of giant elephants with four terrifying tusks.

The Hellfire Demon's body shattered instantly, turning into a pile of broken stones, which were then violently trampled.

On the other side, a hellfire demon swung its massive warhammer and smashed the giant elephant's head, shattering its brains.

Even with its brain shattered, the colossus still roared and plunged its tusks into the body of the fire rock giant. Upon contact with the earth, the colossus's injuries healed rapidly.

In just a moment, the horrific wound on his head turned into a huge scar.

By standing firmly on the ground, they can draw upon the earth's power to quickly restore their bodies.

Following behind the giant elephant, a group of Zerg units of various shapes and sizes charged out.

Some are insects, such as mantises and beetles, while others are mammals, such as tigers, bears, or even humanoid creatures.

These Zerg units are not very large; some are two or three meters tall, some are over ten meters tall, and some are around one hundred meters tall. Their strength is all at the ninth level of the Domain Lord level, and each type has a scale of about one hundred thousand.

Indeed, after realizing that the main Zerg units were too large, Qin Mu adjusted the structure of the Zerg that were later hatched.

The Zerg swarm's gene pool contains billions of analyzed biological genes, making it incredibly easy to select some powerful races to serve as low-level cannon fodder for the swarm.

On the ground, in the sky, and even underground, the swarms of insects and the demon army clashed fiercely, reaching a fever pitch when the [Abyssal Crystal] appeared.

All the demons were enraged and went berserk under the stimulation of the Abyss Crystal.

Rivers of blood, fields strewn with corpses, and mountains of carcasses are no longer exaggerated descriptions, but rather the most realistic depiction of the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the battle between the insect swarm and the demons intensified, showing no signs of abating.

But the real threat to the swarm is not the hundreds of millions of demons, but the united great demons!

Although the swarm's combined attack instantly killed several Greater Demons, it did not frighten the remaining Greater Demons; instead, they formed a rare alliance.

Demons are chaotic, but also cunning, especially those at the level of Grand Demons.

Which demon hasn't gone through countless battles to successfully grow to the strength of a Great Demon?

When the situation turned unfavorable, apart from a few who managed to snatch the [Abyssal Crystal], the rest of the great demons immediately united.

"It seems there are no demon lord-level beings spying on us; we can probably end the battle now."

"Finally, they've got some brains; they know they need to unite, but only a tiny bit."

Inside the mother nest, Qin Mu chuckled softly.

He didn't take these demons seriously; the insect swarm hadn't displayed much fighting power in the five days of battle.

Over the past five days, three giant iceberg beasts disguised as demons have joined the battlefield, along with more than ten other Flame Tank insectoids at the peak of the Realm Lord level.

After five consecutive days of intense battles, they had already absorbed enough abyssal energy to integrate into this world.

This was just a training exercise. Within the World Ring and Irina's inner world, there was an army of tens of millions of peak World Lords, dozens of peak bloodline behemoths, and a massive insectoid army numbering in the hundreds of millions.

If it really erupts, it can kill all the demons in an instant.

Even without all that, Irina, at the peak World Lord level, could kill them one by one with her powerful soul force, even without the cooperation of the swarm!

One of the six supreme races in the universe, how could it be defeated by just a few dozen demons?

Inside the nest, Irina's eyes were also full of smiles, and an invisible charm spread.

On the battlefield, the minotaur demon, who had just been shouting for unity, suddenly looked somewhat dazed.

It raised its battle axe high and slashed fiercely at the bat-winged demon to the side.

"Georges Corral, you're asking for it!"

The bat-winged demon seemed to have been prepared, raising its weapon to instantly block the minotaur's battle axe, roaring angrily.

How can demons possibly trust each other?

It was merely a reluctant alliance; the Batwing Demon was always on guard against attacks from its other allies.

"I...it wasn't me just now!"

The Minotaur Demon was somewhat stunned. Although it did want to kill the other party, now was not the time!

But how could the bat-winged demon believe its words?

The bat-winged demon charged angrily at the minotaur, brandishing its weapon and slashing mercilessly.

The Minotaur Demon was also furious. "So what if I chopped you down? Are you afraid of me?!"

A life-or-death battle erupted between the two sides in an instant.

Not only on this side, but also within the demon horde, three disguised iceberg behemoths attacked almost simultaneously, sneaking up on one of the great demons.

The already fragile alliance among the demons crumbled instantly, plunging them into fighting their own battles.

The deep roar of the Hive Tyrant echoed across the battlefield as it flapped its golden wings and charged toward a great demon.

A dozen or so peak-level World Lord-level Flame Tank insectoids roared and charged towards the great demons; these were all those who had seized the [Abyss Crystal].

As a mass-produced Zerg race, they are not particularly strong, but they can still entangle their opponents instantly by relying on their powerful defense and level advantage.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Intense explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, where hundreds of World Lord-level beings were engaged in fierce combat across a range of thousands of miles.

Space itself seemed to be torn apart and distorted.

brush--

A six-armed serpent charged toward the mother nest like a demon, its eyes filled with greed.

It sensed that there were dozens of Abyss Crystals inside this massive mountain of flesh. If it could seize them, its strength could increase dozens of times!

How could it resist such temptation?

Not only the six-armed serpent demon, but almost simultaneously, more than ten great demons rushed towards the mother nest.

In their eyes, the mother nest was only large in size, but its aura was too weak.

This enormous mountain of flesh is clearly immobile; given some time, destroying it wouldn't be difficult.

These days, they have watched helplessly as countless Zerg warriors are hatched on the creep near the mother nest.

With their intelligence, how could they not know that the mother nest is the core of the swarm?

At this moment, both the Golden Horned Beast and the Hive Tyrant were entangled, which was a golden opportunity!

However, both Qin Mu and Irina, inside the nest, showed only indifference as they watched the charging demons.

Faint spatial fluctuations appeared around the mother nest.

A strange, colossal beast, entirely blue in color and about 90 kilometers tall, resembling a gorilla, appeared.

The moment it appeared, its entire body glowed with secret runes, and time around the mother nest seemed to stand still, with the bodies of more than a dozen great demons frozen in mid-air.

Some of these demons had faces full of excitement, while others were filled with bloodlust and madness.

Without exception, they are like specimens encased in amber, completely still.

Inside the Mother Nest, Elena chuckled softly, unleashing her soul power that pierced into the bodies of countless great demons.

These great demons offered no resistance and were easily subdued by Elena.

The twelve peak-bloodline starry sky behemoths, including the Destroyer Beast, possess a unique talent—time freeze!

The Destroyer Beast made its first appearance, and together with Elena's soul attack, it subdued all the attacking demons in one fell swoop.

"Time stands still! This talent is truly amazing."

Qin Mu sighed.

Although it wasn't the first time Qin Mu had witnessed this talent, he was still shocked.

As a peak-bloodline star-sky behemoth, the Golden Horned Beast possesses three talents: the growth talent of Devouring, the combat talent of Enhancement, and the life-saving talent of Clone.

The Destroyer Beast has only one talent: time stop!

That's enough!

Whether it's fighting or escaping, the ability to stop time is incredibly powerful.

Especially when the Destroyer Beast willingly played a supporting role, even though it only controlled these great demons for less than three breaths.

But for a peak Realm Lord like Irina, there are too many things she can do in three breaths!

So many that she could enslave more than a dozen great demons!

After cooperating with Queen Irina to subdue all the attacking great demons, the Destroyer roared and charged into the battlefield.

As cosmic behemoths, both the Golden Horned Beast and the Destroyer Beast are the most warlike and bloodthirsty.

Now that it finally had a chance to fight, it excitedly charged toward the heart of the battlefield.

Almost the instant the Destroyer Beast appeared, the three-headed Iceberg Beast on the battlefield reverted to its true size.

Three giant beasts, each over 90 kilometers long, resembling giant turtles and carrying icebergs on their backs, appeared.

The massacre has begun!
