Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 253 Humanoid Starry Sky Beast!

In a human fortress on a large continent in an extraterrestrial battlefield.

A group of fierce human warriors, exuding an aura of death, collectively injected themselves with gene seeds.

Among these people are those at the cosmic level, the domain lord level, and some at the realm lord level.

They were injected with the latest second-generation gene seed from Virtual Universe Company, which could achieve the bloodline of a domain lord!

Domain Lord level bloodline, the highest level of human bloodline.

Reaching the Domain Lord level simply by eating and drinking is easy; reaching the World Lord level through cultivation is a breeze.

In battles of the same level, those with a Domain Lord-level bloodline also have a significant advantage.

Even for world lord-level powerhouses, domain lord-level bloodlines are extremely rare.

"Hahaha, I wonder which top alchemist of my human race developed this gene seed. I have already completed two bloodline evolutions."

A burly minotaur warrior carrying a battle axe laughed as he injected a gene seed into his body.

"Yes, it's practically the most precious treasure for us lower races! After completing three bloodline evolutions, I directly broke through to the Domain Lord level!"

The burly man with a single horn on his head, dressed in black armor, next to the minotaur warrior also laughed.

"But we're still not as good as Lazar; he's truly ruthless!"

He has been in the extraterrestrial battlefield for hundreds of years. When he first arrived, he was only at the cosmic level. His ninth-grade bloodline potential broke through to the domain lord level after countless life-and-death trials.

The potential has been exhausted, and there is almost no possibility of further progress.

But now he has already reached the second-tier cosmic-level bloodline, and his strength has even reached the level of a world lord!

With the second-generation gene seed, it's possible that he could complete another bloodline evolution, further enhancing his strength.

The two men chatted and laughed as they looked at a soldier in the crowd. The soldier had an icy aura and a strong smell of blood on him.

"It's possible! The second generation of gene seeds is even more powerful, doubling the evolution probability for those below the Domain Lord level bloodline. I don't know if it's true or not."

If one reaches the level of a Domain Lord, they will also possess a combat form, stronger than even the most elite human bloodlines!

Their words were full of hope, though not a great one, but much better than before.

The average mortality rate in any battlefield outside the region is over 90%!

It's said to be over 90%, but in reality, most of those who died were at the cosmic or domain lord level.

Those at the Realm Lord level still have a chance to survive, but those below the Realm Lord level will almost certainly die if they stay in the extraterritorial battlefield for a hundred years.

Most of these people have low bloodline levels and their strength has reached a bottleneck, making no further progress. They want to go further on the path of cultivation, so they go to the outer battlefield to fight to the death and try their luck for that slim chance.

In the past, many people did break through in life-or-death battles every year, but the chances were extremely small.

Lazar was one of those lucky ones, breaking through the line between life and death.

But things are different now; someone breaks through in almost every battle!

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Amidst their conversation, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from within the fortress.

All the soldiers immediately and skillfully picked up their weapons, and the teams assembled one by one.

Soon, led by two immortal gods, about two hundred realm lords, nearly 2000 domain lords, and nearly 2 cosmic-level warriors quickly assembled and began fighting against a demon race team.

This demon race group was smaller than the human group. The leader was an immortal demon, who resembled a bull, with a robust body covered in scales, and a thick layer of battle armor faintly visible on the surface of the scales.

This demon immortal was extremely powerful; he managed to suppress two human immortal gods while fighting alone.

At the same time, the thousands of demons at the realm lord, domain lord, and universe lord levels all have different appearances.

The smallest of these demons is over ten meters long, while the largest is 33 kilometers long.

The average human is less than two meters tall, and even some large ones are only about ten meters tall.

Humans are at a huge disadvantage simply because of their size.

Although they only had a few thousand demon warriors, they completely overwhelmed the human side.

When the immortals are mutually restrained and unable to provide support, the core of the war falls on the realm lord level powerhouses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than three hundred powerful realm lords were engaged in a fierce battle, their attacks imbued with the aura of laws raging across the entire battlefield.

One of the demon realm lords, who resembled a lion but had two heads and a body length exceeding a thousand meters, unleashed his power and successively killed several human realm lords.

This is a powerful royal member of the demon race!

It was born with a powerful bloodline, with one head skilled in the fundamental laws of fire and the other skilled in the fundamental laws of water.

When they all erupted together, no human realm lord was a match for them!

Left with no other choice, they had to send several powerful human realm masters to desperately hold off the Ice-Fire Lion demon clan warrior.

The battle lasted all day, until both sides suffered heavy losses before retreating to their respective camps.

In the following period, the two sides fought several more battles, and the demon king became increasingly rampant and tyrannical.

In every battle, a powerful realm lord has fallen at its hands.

Until the eighth battle between the two sides—

Humanity's disadvantage in the battle became increasingly apparent, and with too many world lords falling, humanity was no longer able to resist.

Once the battle at the realm lord level collapses, the tide of war will inevitably turn completely in favor of the demon race. The two immortal powerhouses may be able to escape, but the remaining domain lords and universe-level beings will almost certainly die!

And this is the norm in battlefields outside the region.

Humans are far less talented than demons, and once they lose their numerical advantage, it becomes very difficult for them to contend with demons.

Lazar gripped his battle sword, staring intently at the ice and fire lion, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Are we going to be defeated again?

Throughout his centuries-long career, he fled more than thirty times. Although he survived by sheer luck, many of his sworn brothers were left behind on the battlefield forever.

It is in life-or-death battles that you are most likely to make brothers who will fight to the death.

The friendships forged on the battlefield are the most profound.

"Die!"

Lazar roared furiously, his battle blade imbued with the essence of metal, transforming into a beam of light as it slashed heavily towards the Ice and Fire Lion.

A sneer lingered in the enormous eyes of the Ice and Fire Lion.

You think you can kill it with an attack of this level?

That's wishful thinking!

The Ice and Fire Lion opened its gaping maw, one of its two enormous heads spewing flames and the other spewing a jet of water, engulfing Lazar within.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the continuous explosions, the Ice and Fire Lion charged straight ahead, its sharp claws slamming into Lazar's body.

An unparalleled force pierced through the armor, landing on his body and attacking the primordial core within him.

"puff--"

Lazar coughed up blood. As a powerful realm lord, he would not die as long as his original core remained intact, and even the most severe injuries could be healed.

But this attack damaged the original core!

This dealt him a heavy blow.

However, at that moment, the power contained within the seed of genes in his body erupted.

It's bloodline evolution!

With his experience, Lazar's expression was filled with wild joy, and even more so with a chilling killing intent!

After bloodline evolution, strength can be greatly enhanced, and most of the physical injuries can be healed.

There was hope in his eyes.

Maybe he can win!

The Virtual Universe Company stated that once a bloodline evolves to the Domain Lord level, it becomes even stronger than the most advanced human bloodlines! It can even awaken a combat form!

Just as his thoughts were racing, excruciating pain shot through his body.

His muscles, bones, and even his entire body were expanding rapidly.

As if he were blowing air, he instantly transformed into a being over a hundred meters tall, half-human, half-beast.

The extreme pain made him roll around on the ground!

He had experienced countless battles on the battlefields beyond the borders, and his will had long been tempered to be extremely tenacious, but he still couldn't help but wail in pain in the face of this extreme suffering.

The comrades around them were stunned by this sudden change, but they understood what was going on in the next moment.

Bloodline Evolution!

It must be bloodline evolution!

This half-human, half-beast creature, exceeding 100 meters in size and still growing, must be its battle form after bloodline evolution.

In an instant, everyone's morale soared.

If they can stall until Lazar completes his bloodline evolution, they might be able to win!

Seeing that things were not going well, the Ice and Fire Lion panicked a little. The aura emanating from the strange humanoid monster was getting stronger and stronger, and it was already subtly surpassing it.

That violent aura terrified even it.

Roar--

The Ice and Fire Lion roared, spewing flames and jets of water from its mouth as it erupted.

It certainly knows about the human gene seed, but the strongest in the past was only to evolve into a cosmic-level bloodline. Even if it transforms to the strongest, so what?

As a member of the demon royal family, it didn't care at all.

But the current situation is not right. Once that human completes the transformation, his strength will increase greatly, and he may not even be a match for him.

We must kill it while it is transforming!

"Stop it! Buy Lazar time!"

A human realm lord wielding a shield roared, and his shield suddenly grew larger, firmly protecting Lazar behind him.

The other two realm lords also risked being severely injured by their opponents, launching repeated attacks on the Ice and Fire Lion.

The entire battlefield suddenly descended into chaos.

Everyone, including the monsters, went mad.

"roar--"

A roar that could shatter metal and split rocks came from below the battlefield.

"You all step back, leave this ice and fire lion to me! I'm going to tear it apart alive!"

The human realm lord, holding a shield, couldn't help but turn his head to look down, only to see that Lazar's body had transformed into a colossal creature about five hundred meters tall.

It resembles a monster standing upright, its entire body covered in dark gold scales, with sharp, upright protrusions on its back, and a thick tail extending out, the length of which is almost the length of its body.

His head was enormous, and his gaping maw was chilling, with each tooth possessing an astonishingly powerful bite.

Its head was bald, covered in scales, beneath which were a pair of huge, triangular pupils that exuded a cold, bloodthirsty aura.

Although the changes are drastic, one can still vaguely see the resemblance to Lazar in his appearance.

The bloodline transformation is complete!

"What kind of monster is this? How come its aura is so similar to the celestial behemoth [Azure]?"

The Ice-Fire Lion was startled; the aura of the humanoid monster before it was far too violent.

whoosh-

The humanoid star beast transformed into a golden light and charged forward, colliding with the Ice and Fire Lion.

In the past, very few humans of the same level were strong enough to confront the royal family of the demon race head-on.

Because of the vast difference in size, the difference in strength is also enormous, and in direct confrontation, the demon race often has the absolute upper hand.

Although surprised, the Icefire Lion roared and swung its hooves to fight the humanoid star beast.

tear-

The most primal struggle unfolded in the center of the battlefield.

The humanoid star beast [Cang] and the Ice and Fire Lions, a king-level demon race, opened their blood-red maws and began to fight, brandishing their hooves.

At first, the Ice and Fire Lion held a slight advantage, but as the humanoid star beast [Azure] Lazar became more and more familiar with its body, it suppressed the Ice and Fire Lion instead.

On the battlefield beyond the realm, humans actually managed to suppress the demon royal family in close-quarters combat!

The Ice and Fire Lion roared repeatedly, flames constantly erupting from its mouth and jets of water spewing out.

However, the flames and water columns were blocked by the thick scales of the humanoid star beast [Azure] Lazar. Instead, the claws and tail of the humanoid star beast [Azure] left huge wounds on the body of the ice and fire lion.

"Die!"

The humanoid star beast [Azure] Lazar roared, and after fully mastering the power of his body, he grabbed the fiery head of the Ice and Fire Lion with one hand and the other thick arm grabbed the fiery head's jaw. He exerted force with both hands, actually trying to tear the fiery head apart alive.

The Ice and Fire Lion roared, its water-attribute head suddenly turning to bite at the humanoid star beast [Cang], but it was whipped around by a tail and left dizzy.

"No!"

Amidst the terrified roar of the Ice-Fire Lion, its fire-attribute head was torn in two.

"You killed three of my closest friends; I will tear you to pieces!"

The humanoid star beast [Azure] Lazar grinned as he looked at the Ice and Fire Lion, which had lost one of its heads and was howling in pain.

After slaying the Ice and Fire Lion in a fit of rage, the humanoid star beast [Cang] turned its cold eyes toward the battlefield of immortal gods high in the sky.

In the past, he would never have dared to fight against an immortal god.

Among the human race, only the most elite elite warriors dare to fight against immortals.

But now!

The humanoid star beast [Azure] Lazar felt the violent power within him, and something called ambition burned fiercely in his chest.

However, the humanoid star beast [Cang] Lazar did not recklessly rush into the battlefield of gods, but instead grinned as he looked at the other demon realm lords.

The slaughter begins!

The three immortal gods naturally noticed the changes on the battlefield of the realm master, and the demon immortal who was originally only entangled with two human immortals suddenly became anxious.

The situation on the battlefield changed dramatically in the blink of an eye.

This is merely a microcosm of the battlefield.

On the battlefield outside the domain, there were too many powerful beings and the battles were too intense. The second-generation gene seed caused the bloodlines of a large number of human powerhouses to evolve in a short period of time, and many of them evolved to the level of domain lord.

The fame of the humanoid cosmic behemoth spread throughout the entire battlefield.

too strong!

Once the transformation is complete and the humanoid star beast is formed, most demon royal families will be unable to withstand it.

For a moment, both humans and other races were stunned by this change.

The human elites were naturally overjoyed and cheered, while the alien races became terrified.

Could humans actually transform into cosmic behemoths during battle?

How can we fight like this!

If the first generation could only evolve into a gene seed at the cosmic level, it merely gave hope for the rise of the lower classes of humanity, allowing them to see room for upward mobility.

The second generation of the gene seed began to change the nature of the war between humans and alien races!

This is just the beginning.

As more and more powerful humans evolve, tens of thousands of humanoid star beasts will rush out when war breaks out. How can we fight them?

Furthermore, the Virtual Universe Company even claims to possess a third-generation World Lord-level gene seed!

What will they become once they transform into beings with the bloodline of a World Lord?

Could it possibly mutate into a giant star beast with peak humanoid bloodline?

All the tribes were terrified.

If humans were to actually succeed, would other species even be able to survive?

Just imagine, once the human side on the battlefield starts fighting, a huge group of humanoid peak bloodline star beasts rush out. Even the demon royal family wouldn't be able to withstand that.

We must never allow the third generation of human genes to spread!

……

Qin Mu was unaware of the events on the battlefield outside the region.

After passing through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level, Qin Mu obediently returned to the Abyss Tower to begin receiving the inheritance. He did not plan to come out until he reached the World Lord level.

But all of humanity, and even the universe, was stirred up.

After fusing with eight powerful bloodline star beasts, they are simply too strong. Even the top ten bloodlines among the human race, such as the [Manka Star People], [Wilderness God Clan], and [Flame Boro Clan], cannot confront them head-on.

The sheer size of the body, standing at a height of 1,000 meters, is enough to send shivers down your spine.

If the second-generation gene seed is this powerful, what about the third generation?

Everyone started to look forward to it.

Will there be a fourth or fifth generation?

The high-ranking members of the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race began to secretly make contact, attempting to find the researchers of the Gene Seed.

The first generation of cosmic-level gene seeds merely caused changes within humanity, giving some lower-class groups hope for advancement.

The second-generation Domain Lord-level gene seed changed the entire universe's situation!

We can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!
