Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 242 Supreme Treasure! Giant Axe, Chaos Guardian

The Abyss of Purgatory, floor 385464.

An incredibly intense spatial-temporal fluctuation occurred above the mother nest.

The black token in Qin Mu's hand shimmered with a faint light, as if guiding something.

"Boom—"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the dim sky, and a fierce wind blew.

A bald man in a fiery red battle robe suddenly appeared in mid-air, his majestic aura spreading out, and the world fell silent.

"Senior brother! I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."

Qin Mu flew into the sky and laughed heartily.

The bald man smiled slightly.

"Making a trip is nothing, you really surprised everyone! That's incredible!"

The Venerable Guiyi slowly descended, looking down at the enormous mother nest, which was 190 kilometers high and resembled a giant mountain, and then looked around.

One after another, powerful insectoids with strength reaching the ninth level of the Domain Lord level lived around the mother nest. He even saw a monster that was somewhat similar to the Golden Horned Beast, but much larger!

That powerful aura filled him with dread.

"This is?"

Venerable Guiyi was somewhat puzzled. This was the first time he had seen Qin Mu's swarm of insects, but he couldn't recognize what it was at all.

Zerg?

It doesn't look like it at all!

Although these monsters only possess the aura of a Domain Lord, if the Domain Lord level of the Zerg were this strong, the entire Primordial Universe would have already belonged to the Zerg, leaving no room for the Human Race.

"This is an opportunity I've had to acquire a Zerg clone."

Qin Mu smiled.

He no longer cares about being exposed.

As the swarm grows stronger, it requires more and more resources, making exposure inevitable.

Moreover, this is his senior brother, a fellow disciple of the Chaos City Lord, so such exposure is insignificant.

"Is this the Zerg?"

Venerable Guiyi felt relieved, but even more so, he was incredulous.

No wonder Qin Mu's research on bloodline is so advanced; it turns out he has an insectoid clone.

The Zerg are the race with the most in-depth research into bloodlines in the primordial universe!

It's important to know that the Zerg are capable of spawning Immortal-level Zerg warriors on a large scale.

No wonder Qin Mu was able to research a World Lord-level bloodline!

No wonder!

The Zerg Queen has successfully enslaved quite a few human races.

Have you ever seen anyone who has achieved such a high level of accomplishment in the realm of bloodlines?

Moreover, as the overlord of the universe, he has killed far too many of those Zerg!

Even the Zerg Queen, who was above the Immortal level, had killed countless of them.

But is this thing really related to the Zerg?

Even the Zerg's immortal-level queen, their nest is only about ten kilometers long!

Now you're telling me that this massive mountain of flesh, 190 kilometers high, is the Zerg?

And what is that monster that's over 100 kilometers long and looks like a golden horn behemoth?

What is that enormous insect egg that is fifty kilometers tall?

"This is a Zerg hive. I made some modifications to it, so it's a bit different from a typical Zerg hive."

Qin Mu smiled.

A little bit of modification?

Venerable Guiyi didn't know how to complain.

If anyone else or Venerable Guiyi had said this, he certainly wouldn't have believed it.

But if it was Qin Mu, he was somewhat inclined to believe it.

After all, Qin Mu is the strongest bloodline alchemist in human history!

This made him wonder whether Qin Mu's Zerg were special from the start or after Qin Mu modified them.

After all, Qin Mu has already developed a World Lord-level bloodline potion, so it's normal for him to modify the Zerg mother nest, right?

"amazing!"

Although his mind was filled with countless thoughts, as a cosmic overlord, Venerable Guiyi naturally did not lose his composure.

"These are the twelve peak-bloodline star beasts that Master Chaos asked me to pass on to you. They also contain the essence blood of two kinds of innate beast gods and some resources for your research."

Venerable Guiyi handed over a world ring.

"Um."

Qin Mu smiled and accepted it, scanning the world ring with his consciousness. Sure enough, they were enormous star beasts!

Each one is a realm lord-level being!

These cosmic behemoths have all fallen into a deep sleep, clearly their souls sealed away.

In other areas, there are mountains of resources.

"Also, this was given to you by the teacher by the founder of the Giant Axe."

As he spoke, two objects appeared in Venerable Guiyi's hand: a bronze token and a bell.

"This token is a keepsake, and it is very fragile; you can easily crush it."

This token bears the spiritual imprint of the Giant Axe Founder. If you crush it, the Giant Axe Founder will know immediately and arrive in a very short time!

The Venerable Guiyi's eyes clearly showed envy; this was a token that could summon the strongest human being!

"This bell is called the Soul-Stabilizing Bell; it's a supreme treasure, a treasure for soul defense!"

At this point, Venerable Guiyi's expression turned serious.

"After you acknowledge me as your master, I can protect your soul. You are currently too weak, and you have also developed a World Lord-level bloodline, which is extremely important to our human race."

Once the news spreads, countless alien races will surely want to kill you.

If you are assassinated and cannot defeat the enemy, even if it means self-destruction, you must never allow your soul to become a slave!

After self-destruction, both the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder can resurrect you, but once you're enslaved by your soul, resurrection won't help!

Qin Mu accepted the two treasures in silence.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

As the Overlord of the Zerg, he is immune to soul enslavement when soulless Zerg such as the Demon Slayers appear in the Zerg swarm!

In other words, this precious bell was of no use to him.

He can respawn on any Zerg unless he kills all the Zerg.

This is why he placed Zerg larvae and Zerg eggs all over the universe.

But he would never reveal this.

It's outrageous!

Having this bell, a treasure for soul defense, is good. At least when I am attacked by a soul in the future, the abnormality in my soul will not be detected.

As for the Summoning Giant Axe Founder Token, that's even more powerful—it summons the strongest human being, the Giant Axe Founder!

After Qin Mu received the two treasures, Venerable Guiyi flipped his hand again and took out two more treasures.

It was still a token, but this one was gold, with a faint engraving of a city on it.

There is also a small, ancient palace.

"This was given to you by the Lord of Chaos City. The token is his token. As long as you crush it, he will come."

"The palace is named Xuanbing Palace, and it is a flying palace-type treasure that can withstand extremely strong material attacks."

If you encounter danger, you can hide in the Xuanbing Palace and escape.

"With the Soul-Stabilizing Bell protecting your soul and the Xuanbing Palace protecting your body, we can at least buy you time to crush the token!"

If all else fails, just self-destruct!

"The teacher originally didn't plan to give you these treasures too soon, but the situation is special now, so I'm giving them to you first."

"That's what Venerable Guiyi said."

Qin Mu opened his mouth, but this time he was truly speechless.

Are the higher-ups in humanity so afraid of his death?!

It's another treasure for soul defense, and another treasure for flying palaces!

These are all things used to save his life!

With these two treasures to buy time, and the ability to summon the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, this is practically invincible!

Imagine if you really encountered some danger, and you crushed both tokens at the same time, the one on the left would be the founder of the giant axe, and the one on the right would be the Lord of Chaos City!

Just one question: Who else is there?

However, once the news of his research into the World Lord level bloodline and the Seed of Gene spread, the strength of those who dared to assassinate him would definitely not be weak.

"Junior brother, don't think you're safe just because you have the treasure."

Your strength is still too weak; you simply cannot activate these two magical treasures.

The Soul-Stabilizing Bell provides passive defense, but the Xuanbing Palace requires active activation. Without the strength of a Realm Lord, you can only enter personally; even flying is difficult.

The Venerable Guiyi gave this advice.

"It's good that you're staying in this abyss of purgatory; the alien races can't get in, and they can't pinpoint your location."

But if you go to other mission worlds, it's probably not safe at all; you could be attacked at any time!

Qin Mu nodded.

Humanity's four secret realms, including many mission worlds, have records of being attacked by alien races.

However, the Abyss of Purgatory, ranked number one among humanity's many secret realms, is not only extremely vast but also divided into countless layers, making it impossible to find oneself without a location.

But once we leave, it's probably not safe anywhere except Chaos City.

This world of extreme trials has now become a safe haven for me!

The Chaos City Lord has actually mentioned these past few days whether or not we should return to Chaos City to cultivate.

However, Qin Mu refused. Since other alien races couldn't enter the Purgatory Abyss, it was safe.

Qin Mu wanted to study the many demons here more thoroughly.

He coveted the Abyss Crystals from the depths of Purgatory even more.

Even a single piece of [Abyss Crystal] can greatly accelerate his various research efforts.

Moreover, he was not afraid of being assassinated at all.

He won't die until the swarm is wiped out!

Upon hearing Senior Brother Guiyi say that the Xuanbing Palace requires the strength of a Realm Lord to activate, Qin Mu looked at the Starry Sky Beast with the strength of 12 Realm Lords at its peak bloodline.

He roughly understood why the Chaos City Lord had given him a flying palace-type treasure, rather than an armor-type treasure or a flying-type treasure.

After leaving the Blood Luo World, Chaos City Lord knew that he had tamed and enslaved the peak World Lord-level ice behemoth, in addition to his own strength.

Clearly, this flying palace-type treasure was not intended for his own use, but rather for a star-sky behemoth with a peak World Lord-level bloodline.

"I will improve my strength as soon as possible. I guess I won't be able to go to other mission worlds in the future. Once I go and explore the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the cosmic level, I will directly become a Domain Lord."

"At most a hundred years, I'll reach the World Lord level within that time."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment. He had originally planned to visit other extreme mission worlds after leaving the Purgatory Abyss, but now it seemed that he wouldn't be able to.

Once the insect swarm reaches the level of a World Lord, there's no need to delay any longer; it can proceed directly to the World Lord level.

Even with the strength of a World Lord and the support of the insect swarm, one can barely protect oneself.

As for cultivation resources?

There's no need to consider this issue at all.

For the higher echelons of humanity, as long as Qin Mu could research and develop World Lord-level bloodlines, gene seeds, and the like, they would be more than happy for him to stay obediently in Chaos City to cultivate and conduct research.

All sorts of top-tier cultivation resources will undoubtedly be provided.

This is Qin Mu's current status!

The title of the strongest bloodline alchemist in humankind!

"You don't need to rush. Just cultivate step by step. After you come out, go directly to Chaos City."

Venerable Guiyi nodded, showing no surprise whatsoever at Qin Mu's suggestion to venture into the Primal Tongtian Mountain.

When Qin Mu left Chaos City, he had already crossed the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge. At that time, he would be able to cross the universe-level Heavenly Mountain.

In fact, whether Qin Mu tries to conquer Tongtian Mountain or not is not very meaningful now, as the universe-level Tongtian Mountain only has 100 million points.

Qin Mu has 100 billion Hunyuan every year for researching resources. If he takes some of that to buy other items, will anyone say anything?

of course not!

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.

It's just a trip to a virtual universe, which he can easily accomplish with his current strength.

"Senior brother, these are the gene seeds I made, all from the Blazing Beast series, totaling 10 billion!"

These are all things that can only be used by humans with bloodlines reaching the cosmic level and fire attributes.

I added a genetic lock to it, so it can't be used by any group other than humans.

As for the other series, they are still under research and will take some time to be completed.

Venerable Guiyi nodded and accepted the ring. Besides giving away treasures, he also wanted to obtain the Seed of Genes.

Some of these gene seeds will be given to the Giant Axe Arena, while the rest will be distributed by the Chaos City Lord.

The appearance of the Seed of Genes is of greatest use to the Giant Axe Arena!

The gene seed that can be activated through life-or-death battles is just what the Giant Axe Arena is looking for.

For Qin Mu and the higher-ups in humanity, a cosmic-level gene seed is still too weak.

But for the lowest strata of humanity, a cosmic level is already sufficient.

The cosmic level is already the second highest level among human bloodlines.

Some human universe masters even considered that a universe-level gene seed was enough, and that Qin Mu should focus his energy on world master-level bloodlines, gene multiplication, and talent transplantation.

However, this idea was naturally rejected by the founder of the giant axe.

Not everyone wants the underprivileged to rise up.

Fortunately, the creators of the giant axe at the top of humanity, the Lords of Chaos, did not think this way.

"I've got the stuff, I'll head back now! Junior brother, please be careful here."

The Venerable Guiyi smiled.

"Okay! Thank you for your help, senior brother."

Qin Mu smiled too.

Another spatial fluctuation came from the sky, and the figure of Venerable Guiyi slowly disappeared.

Seeing that Senior Brother Guiyi had left, Qin Mu glanced around, a smile on his face, and flew down to the mother nest.

Has Senior Brother Guiyi really left?

Qin Mu had no idea.

Qin Mu originally planned to place the delivery location in the manor of the Primitive Secret Realm.

But the Lord of Chaos City said that he should ask Senior Brother Guiyi to make a trip so that he could give him some things in person.

There are things you may have guesses about, but there's no need to say them out loud.

As for his secret, will it be discovered?

Like I said, so what if we find out?

The stronger your research is, the happier your teacher will be!

Just do your own thing.

Once you become the disciple of the Lord of Chaos City and meet him, these things no longer need to be kept secret.

With a joyful heart, Qin Mu arrived at the open space next to the mother nest.

"A giant star beast with twelve peak-level World Lord bloodlines!"

Haha, I still have some divine weapons. After arming them all and fusing them with the Blood Crystal, I'll have twelve more Marquis-level combatants!

Qin Mu thought with some excitement.

I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to get these star beasts with peak bloodlines so quickly, but they were in my hands in just a few days.

"First, transform these twelve Starry Sky Beasts with peak World Lord-level bloodlines into insectoid beings, and then recognize these two treasures as their masters."

I just don't know what level of treasure this is?

Ordinary treasure, high-grade treasure, or top-tier treasure?

Qin Mu guessed.

"They've all prospered, regardless of their level!"

With a flick of the wrist, a colossal cosmic beast nearly a thousand kilometers long appeared on the open ground surrounding the mother nest.

It was none other than the golden-horned behemoth that Qin Mu was most familiar with!

A golden-horned behemoth of the realm lord level!

Countless fungal tissues spread, and within the mother nest, fleshy vines stretching tens or even hundreds of kilometers pierced into the body of the Golden Horned Beast.

A massive amount of spiritual energy converged, and they began to transform into Zerg!

Having gained experience from the past, Qin Mu was already very skilled and successfully transformed it into a Zerg in no time.

Following the same method, twelve peak-bloodline star beasts successfully joined the swarm.

Then, one by one, blood crystals flew out...
