Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 248 Token! Abyss Inheritance

Among the six peak races that have been devoured, the Zerg, under the Cosmic Venerable, can be considered the strongest.

At this stage, the Zerg's combined attack strategy is virtually unbeatable.

A single combined attack from a million-strong Zerg of ordinary world lords can severely injure a peak-level King, while a combined attack from a million-strong Zerg king can cause a peak-level King to lose 50% to 100% of his divine body!

Qin Mu used Irina's mother nest to hatch ten million peak world lord insectoids!

Affected by the time freeze, the Marquis-level Flame Demon could only watch helplessly as the terrifying combined attack landed on its body.

boom--

With just one strike, the Flame Demon God Body lost more than 50%!

"No!"

Having just escaped the effects of time freezing, the fire demon roared in agony.

If it hadn't already possessed an immortal body, this combined attack would have been enough to bring it down.

If an immortal loses 50% of their immortal divine body (equivalent to losing 50% of their soul), their consciousness will collapse and they will die.

Even after becoming immortal, one will not die even if they lose 99% of their health.

One can survive with 1%, at most retaining their memories, but their strength will be cannon fodder among the immortals. To recover all their past strength with just 1% of their immortal divine body would require billions of years.

Judging from what just happened, all it takes is for the Destroyer Beast to use Time Stop again, combined with a combined attack, to kill the Flame Demon!

For the first time, fear and apprehension appeared in the Flame Demon's eyes, but even more so, despair.

"Let's die together!"

Seeing that escape was impossible, the fire demon went completely mad.

"boom!!!"

It instantly detonated the entire Immortal Divine Body.

Blow up!

In desperation, the Flame Demon chose the last path!

The self-destruction of a Marquis-level Immortal is comparable to the full-force attack of a King-level being. Even the Time Stop of the Destroyer Beast cannot stop this level of self-destruction.

All the giant beasts must die!

"Rumble~~~"

As the universe collapsed, the entire Demon City was razed to the ground, and an ancient palace appeared before the Golden Horned Beast, which was facing self-destruction at close range.

The twelve peak-bloodline star beasts entered the palace immediately, and the palace became incredibly large, protecting the entire insect swarm within it.

As the golden-horned beast propelled the palace, an even colder aura spread across its surface.

The Xuanbing Palace, a treasure bestowed upon the Chaos City Lord by his teacher, is a flying palace-type treasure capable of withstanding extremely strong material attacks!

The violent energy from the self-destruction impacted the Xuanbing Palace, like a tide crashing against rocks, yet it could not harm it in the slightest.

Qin Mu wasn't very familiar with the Xuanbing Palace, but he could easily hide inside and grow larger to protect the swarm of insects behind him.

"Boom~~~"

Space collapses.

The Xuanbing Palace was thrown back several thousand kilometers by the impact before stabilizing in the void.

Twelve peak-bloodline star beasts appeared in the void one after another, staring at the huge crater that had appeared before them in self-defense.

On the Zerg side, although the Ice Palace blocked the self-destruction impact of the Demon Lord, more than a million Zerg units still died.

But the demons fared even worse; most of them were wiped out by the demon leader's self-destruction.

But Qin Mu had no time to pay attention to these things, because at the very moment the demon leader died, an ancient token appeared in the core area of ​​its self-destruction!

Even at the very core of the explosion, the token remained completely undamaged.

treasure!

Qin Mu's heart stirred, and he immediately ordered a peak-level bloodline behemoth to put away the token.

After the demon leader self-destructed, the entire battlefield was completely controlled by the swarm. One demon after another was killed, and the [Abyssal Crystals] were collected one by one.

……

In the mother's nest.

Qin Mu held a palm-sized, ancient token that exuded a strong aura of the abyss.

The moment Qin Mu received the token, he knew its purpose.

I also learned what the teacher meant by "opportunity".

This token is the demon lord's proof of identity!

By integrating the token into one's body, one can become a demon lord and even enter a strange place in the abyss to obtain its inheritance!

"I knew it, these demons look really strange."

Qin Mu's eyes gleamed; while studying these demons, he noticed something unusual.

These demons' genes are too strange; they don't seem like normal life forms at all. Although they are full of distortions, they vaguely have a complete evolutionary path.

Moreover, these demons are not born naturally, but originate from the vicinity of the River Styx, where a massive number of demon eggs are constantly being hatched.

When these demons become powerful enough, they will be expelled from the Styx River and randomly appear in a layer of the Abyss of Purgatory.

They possess a complete bloodline evolution path; they can continuously grow stronger by killing and fighting, activating their bloodline and acquiring a wealth of knowledge.

"To become a demon lord, you need a token? After integrating the token, you will have the ability to command low-level demons, and you can also gain additional inheritance."

Qin Mu's mind was racing.

The signs of human intervention were too obvious. Qin Mu had some suspicions before but no concrete evidence. But now that the token had appeared, Qin Mu understood everything.

The so-called demons were actually created by a powerful being!

However, these demons are clearly not perfect; their genetic structures are incomplete and even full of distortions.

Just like when Luo Feng later gave birth to the Nine Netherworld Avatar, who possessed the talent of creation and reached 60,000 times the genetic potential, he was able to create life forms, but could not reproduce!

At that time, his spiritual progress had stagnated, making further progress difficult, and he didn't even know how to continue.

Therefore, in order to advance the divine body, two methods were used: studying the life structure diagram and creating the ability to reproduce life.

The Abyss of Purgatory is not a product of this era of reincarnation, but a remnant from countless reincarnations ago.

Such relics are extremely rare in the universe, but they do exist.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng's strength was exceptionally powerful, and even the Lord of Chaos City suspected that he had obtained an opportunity from the past era. However, he was somewhat disappointed when he learned that it was just a treasure like armor and weapons.

"Master Chaos City Lord once said that killing the Demon Commander would bring great fortune, which means that Master already knew about this inheritance, and there shouldn't be any danger."

Recalling what his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, had once said, Qin Mu immediately understood.

Many of the mission worlds have hidden inheritances, a fact Qin Mu already knew.

In the Blood Luo World, there are Blood Luo Crystals and Immortal Temples, which, to some extent, represent the inheritance of a natural beast god at the level of a universe master.

Demon Mountain, on the other hand, has the legacy of two Ancestral God Sect generals!

As the number one ranked mission in the Purgatory Abyss, how could it not have hidden inheritances?

Surviving for three years in the trial mission is just the most basic requirement; for deeper levels of inheritance and treasures, one must seize them for oneself.

Without further hesitation, Qin Mu immediately began refining the token.

"Hmm? This mental impact is comparable to the ninth level of Illusion Island."

Qin Mu let out a soft exclamation; this was already a peak-level World Lord-level attack of will.

After shattering that will, Qin Mu successfully refined the token.

Given the sheer size of the swarm, this impact is far too fragile.

brush--

The moment the refining was successful, a powerful spatial force instantly enveloped Qin Mu's body.

"Is this the place of inheritance?"

Qin Mu was startled and looked around. In an instant, he was forcibly moved from the mother nest.

The surrounding area is a platform with a diameter of about 10,000 miles. At the center of the platform stands a stone tower, and beyond that is a dark, chaotic void.

The stone tower at the center of the platform is divided into layers, each a kilometer long, extending upwards until it disappears into the darkness above.

There was a line of text engraved on the stone tower. Although the characters were distorted, Qin Mu instantly recognized that the tower was called the Tower of the Abyss!

The entrance to the first floor of the Tower of the Abyss was wide open, but the scene inside was not visible.

"Let's go! Let's check out the legacy of the Tower of the Abyss!"

Qin Mu took a deep breath and walked towards the Tower of the Abyss.

Rumbling--

As soon as Qin Mu stepped across the threshold, the door behind him slammed shut.

Nothing strange or bizarre happened as expected. The tower was empty except for a staircase leading to the next floor, which was blocked by thin light curtains.

Inside the tower, in the very center, stands a blood-red rock.

Qin Mu looked closely and saw twisted characters appearing on the blood-red rock. These characters were clearly the same as the characters that made up the Tower of the Abyss outside the tower.

Although Qin Mu couldn't understand it, he could clearly understand the meaning of the characters.

The words kept appearing and disappearing.

After a long while, Qin Mu finally understood the meaning of all the words and gained a general understanding of the inheritance of the Tower of the Abyss.

"This entire abyss is actually a training ground! As long as you become a lord and obtain a token, you will have the opportunity to come here and obtain the inheritance."

Regardless of the type of life form, as long as it obtains the token, whether it is a flesh-and-blood life form, an energy-based life form, a metal life form, or so on, it is eligible to receive the inheritance.

However, each token can only be used to enter the Trial Tower once every ten thousand years.

After the inheritance ends, the inheritor can obtain treasures of different levels depending on the number of levels they have cleared.

If you can get past the highest level, you can control the entire Abyss of Purgatory!

"Control the entire Abyss of Purgatory?"

Qin Mu was shocked. This was a secret realm of the universe that was even larger than the universe kingdom!

However, for hundreds of millions of years, and even countless reincarnations, this abyss of purgatory remains unclaimed, making it extremely difficult to pass through the highest level.

The secret realm of the universe is very mysterious.

Some are strange environments that have evolved naturally, while others are palaces, cultivation sites, and so on left behind by certain super beings.

And this secret realm, which doesn't even belong to this particular era of reincarnation, is even more wondrous.

Qin Mu shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

As Qin Mu touched the blood-red stone with his palm, a mysterious message began to flood his mind.

"Accept the legacy!"

"Cultivation Inheritance!"

"Each level contains a layer of inherited information. Mastering one layer of inheritance allows you to enter the next level. When you reach the end of the Tower of the Abyss, you will become a super being in the universe."

A booming sound echoed in Qin Mu's sea of ​​consciousness, while mysterious cultivation methods began to pour in continuously.

Qin Mu was almost instantly captivated by this secret technique.

This secret technique is divided into two parts: one half is a soul technique, and the other half is a body technique!

However, the Soul Secret Technique can only be cultivated by beings with souls. Beings like the Machine Race, which do not even have souls, are naturally unable to cultivate it.

Qin Mu was already quite excited after only a short period of cultivation.

This set of secret techniques not only encompasses the soul and body, but also reaches an extremely high level!

Having inherited the legacy of twelve peak-level bloodline behemoths, the insectoid legacy, and having cultivated in Chaos City, Qin Mu's vision is extremely high.

Unlike the Chaos Stele, which guides people to comprehend the laws, this... is a detailed set of secret techniques.

This mysterious inheritance is absolutely the most noble kind of inheritance, even reaching the very origin of the universe's great Dao!

moment!

Qin Mu became completely immersed in cultivating this strange and mysterious technique...

Not only Qin Mu, but the computing resources of the entire insect swarm were mobilized.

The swarm now has tens of thousands of mother nests alone!

There are hundreds of star beasts with peak bloodlines, including thirteen peak world lord level beings!

Further down, the number of the swarm's main units exceeds 100 billion!

If worker insects are included, the number would be in the trillions.

……

Inside the Tower of the Abyss.

Qin Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, then suddenly smiled and walked down to the next floor.

The light screen that used to be on the steps has disappeared without a trace.

He has completely mastered the first level of this secret technique.

This unnamed secret technique is extremely powerful; let's tentatively name it "Abyss Legacy".

From the information obtained from the first layer, we can learn that what we have come into contact with is only the basics!

One is the foundation of the soul!

Secondly, it's about physical foundation!

The "foundation" here refers to the intensity of psychic energy amplitude and the intensity of physical body vibration!

The soul possesses the amplitude and intensity of psychic power!

The body has the power amplitude and intensity!

Qin Mu's psychic power amplitude was already extremely strong due to the swarm's soul network, approaching 3000.

Qin Mu had also tested the power amplitude at the Immortal Altar.

Back then, during the tests, because his physical strength was too low, Qin Mu specially created some humanoid experimental subjects to improve his strength.

Over the years, its power has also improved considerably, reaching 100.

This is already a theoretical limit under normal circumstances. To break through it, you would need some special secret techniques or special treasures.

"Even though it's only the first level, it has already given me some improvement. My physical strength has broken the limit of 100, and my spiritual power has become more refined."

Qin Mu was thrilled. This "Abyss Inheritance" was far more exquisite than the Golden Horned Beast's "Original World" and the "Ten Thousand Souls Insect Seal" from the Insect Clan's inheritance.

Even after mastering the "Original World" technique, the increase is only 27 times.

However, "Abyss Legacy" is even stronger.

This is a true path to ultimate perfection, a legacy that transcends all limitations!

"Strengthening both the soul and the body simultaneously—that is true, powerful inheritance!"

As Qin Mu stepped onto the second level, there was still a blood-red stone. Upon touching it, incredibly detailed and exquisite secret techniques immediately flooded into Qin Mu's mind once again.

Keep practicing!

Day after day!

Layer upon layer!

Qin Mu continued to advance through this abyss tower that led to the endless void.
