Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 236 The Chaos City Lord's Shock

Spider Valley is about one billion kilometers away from the Swarm's mother hive.

The valley is nearly a thousand kilometers high and contains countless caves.

Inside the cave, countless dark spider demons roamed and fought amongst themselves.

The Dark Night Spider Demon is a type of beast-like demon. Adult Dark Night Spider Demons are about ten meters tall and covered in sharp barbs. They are considered low-ranking demons.

The name Spider Demon Valley comes from the fact that it is inhabited by hundreds of millions of Dark Night Spider Demons!

In the sky, a golden-horned behemoth with a diameter of about 100 kilometers flew in from afar and hovered above Spider Demon Valley.

The enormous creature, which resembled the Golden Horned Beast, opened its abdominal flesh passages, as if an endless stream of Zerg warriors were pouring out.

With a roar, these insectoid warriors of various shapes landed on the ground, awakening countless Night Spider Demons.

War broke out in an instant.

The roars of the insect swarms and the hisses of the Dark Night Spider Demons mingled together in Spider Demon Valley.

In the valley, flesh spores were projected out, partially embedded in the ground, and then a tide of purple fungal carpet surged out, covering the surrounding land.

Furthermore, these fleshy spores began to metamorphose, transforming into small incubation chambers.

Around the incubation chamber, fleshy vines roamed the fungal carpet.

In just a short while, the first batch of Zerg warriors were hatched.

These Zerg warriors resembled fiery red beetles, only a dozen meters long, and their strength was only at the Hengxing level.

This beetle is called the Fire Beetle, and it belongs to a very low-level unit in the insect colony.

As soon as they appeared, they burrowed into the cave and began fighting with the Dark Night Spider Demons.

The two sides were evenly matched, but these fire beetles, relying on their thick defenses, rampaged through the cave, forcing the Dark Night Spider Demon into a retreat.

After a series of fierce battles, a fiery beetle killed dozens of opponents and devoured the corpse of the Dark Night Spider Demon.

As it eats, its bones crackle and pop, and its body continues to swell and grow larger.

The already bright red carapace sprouted sharp spines, and even tiny flames appeared.

This change became more and more intense as it fed, and when the metamorphosis was complete, it had transformed into another species!

Flame Zerg!

This is a mutated variety that Qin Mu developed after obtaining the blazing behemoth on Qiulong Star.

After hundreds of battles, these Flame Zerg were used by the Zerg swarm as cannon fodder units.

This scene was not isolated; large numbers of fire beetles began to molt and transform into the Flame Insect Clan.

After a series of battles, these Flame Insects began to transform once again.

This time, their mutations were even more astonishing. They actually grew tails, their limbs became thicker, and the shells on their backs were discarded, transforming them into pangolin-like creatures.

This is a smaller version of the blazing behemoth!

This evolutionary mutation is not over yet. As they continue to fight and devour more and more corpses, their size expands, and their genetic structure is also rapidly changing.

……

Inside the mother nest, after summarizing the massive amount of data, Qin Mu nodded slightly.

"The swarm's chain evolution has achieved initial success, and it can now evolve and mutate from the weakest Zerg units into beings at the level of the Blazing Behemoth."

After three months of continuous warfare, many units in the Zerg swarm have evolved very rapidly.

The chain evolution of swarm units, and the Hive Mothership, are the fastest forms of transformation.

The thing floating above Spider Valley is the Zerg hive mothership that has been adjusted within the Zerg swarm.

This insect hive mothership, modified from the Golden Horned Beast, is even larger than a normal Golden Horned Beast, but in reality, its combat power is not as strong as that of a normal Golden Horned Beast.

This is because its massive body is filled with various fleshy chambers used for hatching Zerg units, which makes its body structure less suitable for exerting force.

In order to better nurture the Zerg, Qin Mu even reduced its three talents to one, namely, talent enhancement.

Although its combat power has decreased, it is far superior to the Golden Horned Beast in terms of battlefield support.

Of course, this is only the first generation of Zerg mothership, and its various functions are not perfect, and there are still some problems.

However, compared to the original prototype, it not only hatches more Zerg units, but the projected flesh spores can not only reproduce creep to collect energy, but also have the function of hatching Zerg warriors.

Due to their small size and issues with resource transportation, the hatching chambers formed from these flesh spores can only hatch some low-level Zerg, but it is still a decent improvement.

Although these lower-level Zerg are relatively weak, they can still serve as cannon fodder.

Furthermore, with the addition of chain-based enhancement, they can grow rapidly after just a few battles and by consuming corpses.

In theory, as long as they devour enough flesh and blood, they have a chance to grow into beings of the level of cosmic behemoths.

"There are no problems on this battlefield anymore, so the Zerg mothership can go to the next battlefield to provide support."

With a thought, Qin Mu stopped the hatching and deployment of Zerg warriors from the Zerg hive mothership hovering above Spider Demon Valley and flew to the next battlefield.

In Spider Demon Valley, hundreds of hatching chambers continuously hatch low-level insectoids.

After the Zerg mothership killed the most powerful Night Spiders in Spider Valley, these low-level Zerg support were sufficient.

"It's a pity we don't have [Abyssal Crystals] anymore, otherwise the research on the Hive Mothership could have progressed as quickly as that of the Hive Tyrant."

Qin Mu felt somewhat regretful.

Although the Zerg swarm and the demons have been engaged in constant battles over the past three months, with several wars involving more than ten million units of currency, and even a war involving hundreds of millions of units of currency when attacking a single demon tribe.

Unfortunately, they never encountered the Abyss's Blessing.

Clearly, this level of warfare is no longer sufficient to obtain [Abyssal Crystals].

For Qin Mu, the Abyss Crystal is an evolution accelerator. Once the evolution is complete, the reverse engineering process is much faster than researching it himself.

This is a shortcut, a shortcut to quickly implement your ideas.

"The swarm's extinction-like expansion has already caused panic among some demons."

In some places, the demons had already fled before the insect swarms even arrived.

This has already attracted the attention of the demon lord, who has begun small-scale battles. A full-scale war with him will break out soon.

Qin Mu pondered.

He was not afraid of the war against the demon lord; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it.

This was the first time the Zerg swarm had fought against an Immortal-level being.

For this reason, Irina has rushed to the front line of the battlefield, and the most powerful Star Behemoth in the swarm, as well as the Hive Tyrant, have also gone there.

As he was thinking this, the smart computer on Qin Mu's arm suddenly vibrated slightly.

Qin Mu looked at it and saw that it was an email from his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.

After quickly opening it, I found that it said to log in to the virtual universe if it was safe.

Qin Mu marveled at the power of the virtual universe network, which allowed him to log in to even the Abyss of Purgatory at any time.

The next moment, Qin Mu logged directly into the virtual universe.

……

At the highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, within the palace amidst endless currents of air, Qin Mu's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Qin Mu." A voice rang out.

Qin Mu looked up and saw a figure in golden robes standing near the edge of the cliff in the palace.

It was none other than the Lord of Chaos City, who was looking down at Thunder Island below.

"teacher."

Qin Mu walked over and bowed respectfully.

"How are you doing in the Abyss of Purgatory?"

"The Lord of Chaos asked."

"Things have gone relatively smoothly, and things have stabilized now."

Next, my swarm will wage war against a demon overlord.

Qin Mu was a little puzzled. Was this what the Chaos City Lord had asked him?

The Lord of Chaos was somewhat surprised, but then he understood; this disciple's swarm of insects was indeed a bit too strong.

"Challenging an immortal-level demon lord, achieving this level at the cosmic level is extremely rare."

However, if you can actually kill the demon leader and seize its city, you'll have a considerable opportunity.

The Lord of Chaos City laughed.

Qin Mu's heart stirred. In fact, some of the most difficult missions, even some dangerous ones, have hidden inheritances.

For example, the Demon Mountain contains the lineage of two great generals of the Ancestral God Sect!

It's normal for higher-level Purgatory Abysses to have hidden inheritances, but even with Qin Mu's extremely high authority, he couldn't find out where these inheritances were.

"I'm not looking for you because of the Abyss of Purgatory, but because of your three friends!"

The Lord of Chaos City changed the subject, clearly not wanting to say more.

"After they came out of the Blood Luo World, their strength increased too quickly, which attracted the attention of many people."

I checked their situation as well, and the result shocked me – they had all become Black Warriors!

Even without activating the Bloodlust Power, the gene multiplier is already 6 times!

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qin Mu, seemingly waiting for Qin Mu's explanation.

When they were in Chaos City, the Lord of Chaos City had checked everyone's condition, and at that time, the genes of the three were still at a normal level.

However, as soon as the three left Chaos City, they went straight to the Blood Luo World. After they came out, they all reached six times the gene level and even became Black Warriors!

It was obvious that this abnormal situation was most likely caused by his disciple.

It should be noted that the vast majority of those who are granted the title of King, or even those who are cosmic venerables, do not reach this level.

"This is indeed related to me! Based on their condition, I fused some genes from peak-bloodline star beasts, adjusting their gene multiplier to six times!"

After a moment's thought, Qin Mu spoke.

He didn't intend to hide this matter; it was only a matter of time before the three of them attracted attention once they revealed their strength.

Especially Hong and Lei Shen, with their sixty times the enlightenment, their explosive power will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.

"What?! After gene modification, it directly reached 6 times?"

"You can elevate the genes of ordinary people to this level?"

The Lord of Chaos City was shocked.

Although he had some suspicions, the Lord of Chaos City was still more inclined to believe that Qin Mu had used some treasures to enhance the three of them.

Therefore, even the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but be surprised when Qin Mu said that he had improved his genes by adjusting them.

Even the most powerful human pharmacists can only create bloodline potions at the Domain Lord level!

But at this moment, Qin Mu actually said that he could adjust human genes to 6 times the normal level!

This is already equivalent to the level of the demon royal family among the six top clans.

Could it be that Qin Mu has surpassed all pharmacists in human history in the field of genetic research?

How old is Qin Mu?

How long has it been since the drug was developed?

This heaven-defying talent is in no way inferior to his understanding of the laws, and may even be stronger!

In terms of understanding the laws, there are others in human history who are similar to Qin Mu!

In pharmaceutical research and genetics, Qin Mu has surpassed all previous generations!

If what Qin Mu said is true, wouldn't that mean that Qin Mu can mass-produce geniuses of the level of the demon royal family?

"Yes, theoretically it is possible."

I studied the genes of those three people for a long time before I could do it, and it also required the assistance of the Zerg swarm.

Achieving a 6x increase in gene quantity requires considerable resources, and gene modification also demands exceptionally strong willpower.

Qin Mu said respectfully.

"It's normal to consume resources. How could you increase gene multiplication without consuming resources?"

The Lord of Chaos City didn't care at all about Qin Mu's claim that he had studied it for a long time; even if he had studied it for a long time, it would only be a few decades.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, decades is nothing.

"This is actually achieved by leveraging the power of the swarm. My own skill level is not yet sufficient to do this. I do not intend to reveal this ability for the time being, so please keep it a secret for now, Master."

However, my disciple has also made some preliminary progress in another research project, which does not require the assistance of insect swarms.

Although we cannot yet achieve six times the genetic potential, given more time, we are confident that we can develop a bloodline potion for World Lords.

By then, it will be possible to mass-produce world lord-level bloodline potions, and even increase gene multipliers.

Qin Mu said respectfully.

"What? There's another way to mass-produce World Lord-level bloodline potions without your Zerg assistance?!"

The Lord of Chaos City felt that he had received too much information, and his breathing became heavy.

Among the six top races, the human race is actually the weakest in terms of potential!

The reason why they were able to become one of the six top races is entirely due to their large population base and the emergence of several top experts.

If, as Qin Mu said, it is possible to create bloodline potions at the level of a World Lord or even stronger, what does that mean?

This is a momentous event that could overturn the six dominant races and even the entire cosmic order!

In a sense, having one more cosmic ruler than humanity is even more important!

"Please explain the specifics to me in detail!"

It's almost the end of the month, please support me with your monthly votes.
