Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 266 Assassination in Chaos City

"After more than ten years of cultivation, I have mastered the spatial mysteries of sealing the first level of the Nine Revolutions of the Star River."

However, the four great martial arts techniques have not been properly studied. Although the profound mysteries of time have not yet been fully comprehended, it is time to learn how to apply them.

Inside his residence in Chaos City, Qin Mu opened a thick metal book and went straight to the second half of the first floor.

The first half of the first layer contains guidance on comprehending the laws, mainly focusing on cultivating the profound mysteries of the laws.

The last half describes the application of the four secret techniques.

The first technique, "Star Strike," is a close-combat method for martial artists. When used with the Star Spear, it is extremely powerful.

The second ultimate technique, "Meteor Fall," is a secret method that utilizes telekinetic weapons for attack. When researching the Star Spear, Qin Mu discovered that when the Star Spear was activated, stars would appear on the spear.

These stars are actually a special kind of telekinetic weapon.

The third ultimate technique, "Nebula," is a soul defense secret technique, somewhat similar to the "Illusionary Soul Lock" that I once practiced, but it is much more advanced than "Illusionary Soul Lock."

As the Overlord of the Swarm, Qin Mu was immune to soul attacks when he had units like the Demon Slayer and Rock Giant within the Swarm. However, Qin Mu still planned to learn how to use it for disguise.

The fourth ultimate technique, "Chasing the Sun in the Milky Way," is a secret method for escaping danger. The universe is vast and mysterious, with hidden dangers lurking within.

Although they will not die as long as the swarm survives, if they die, all the treasures they carry will be taken away.

The loss of any one of the following items—such as the Xuanbing Palace, the Soul-Stabilizing Bell, the Star Spear, or the River Treasures—would be a tremendous loss.

Four sets of secret techniques.

Each one is important and profound.

Qin Mu had looked at all 256 sets of secret techniques that his teacher had given him, but they were all far inferior to these four sets.

Teacher Chaos City once said that World Lords need to create their own secret techniques because at this stage, they need to forge their own path.

But there's a prerequisite: you must have enough accumulated experience!

Before that, learn the powerful secret techniques of your predecessors, study them thoroughly and figure them out completely. When you feel that they are no longer suitable for you, you will naturally create your own.

So for now, let's be down-to-earth and first learn the "Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy" given by Teacher Chaos City Lord.

After careful study, Qin Mu was even more amazed.

This is a secret method tailor-made for me.

While Qin Mu was focusing on his cultivation.

suddenly!

"Rumble~~~"

A violent tremor erupted not far away, the sound so loud it shook the heavens and earth.

A terrifying golden light instantly pierced towards an old man in white robes who was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop cultivating.

The powerful energy fluctuations caused all the experts on the rooftops of their cultivation residences within Chaos City to open their eyes and look into the distance.

Qin Mu also suddenly turned his head, and his mental energy spread out.

That location is where Teacher Yu Chen lives!

Someone actually dared to lay a hand on Teacher Yu Chen within Chaos City!

On the street next to Teacher Yu Chen's residence, a lean man wearing bronze armor unleashed an incredibly terrifying killing intent in his indifferent eyes.

Without hesitation, he lunged directly at the Immortal Domain Dust sitting cross-legged on the rooftop. At the same time, an aura that shook the surrounding heaven and earth erupted from his body, and his aura instantly increased a thousandfold.

The divine body has already burned!

This is actually a cosmic venerable one!

A cosmic venerable burned his divine body to assassinate an ordinary immortal who wasn't even a marquis!

How insane is this?

The instant he made his move, a cone-shaped treasure flew out of his arms, transforming into golden light and piercing towards Yu Chen.

At the same time, a surge of ethereal divine power pierced into the mind of the immortal Yu Chen. With the divine power burning, not to mention an immortal like Yu Chen, even a king-level expert would be instantly enslaved and controlled!

While Yu Chen, who was meditating on the rooftop, was suddenly ambushed by a Venerable-level expert, he felt extreme fear but was unable to react at all.

Finished!

Yu Chen Immortal felt a chill run through his body and could only watch helplessly as the golden light pierced towards him.

However, a look of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the bronze-armored venerable one.

The cone-shaped treasure, of the highest quality, suddenly stopped a meter away from the Immortal Domain Dust, hovering in mid-air as if time had stood still.

The ethereal divine power was like falling into a muddy pool, causing not a ripple whatsoever.

A hint of despair appeared in his eyes.

"Lord of Chaos City!"

He roared angrily, like an insect trapped in amber, his physical and spiritual power unable to dissipate even a fraction.

In Chaos City, only the Lord of Chaos City possesses such power.

Before he even took action, he knew he was doomed and would never have a chance to be resurrected.

But failing to fulfill the Queen's orders truly drove him to despair.

"It's actually the Rainbow Trout Master!"

"Rainbow Trout Venerable is assassinating Domain Dust Immortal, the one who researched the Seed of Genes and the Bloodline of a World Lord!"

In the Chaos City shrouded in a hazy, chaotic aura, the powerful figures on the rooftops of their cultivation residences looked at the lean man in bronze armor who was imprisoned.

Inside his cultivation residence, Qin Mu's face was pale.

"It was actually a Venerable-level expert who attempted to assassinate Teacher Yu Chen!"

"Rumble~~~"

A furious snort filled with rage echoed throughout the primordial chaotic universe, plunging the entire world into darkness.

The spatial cracks in the sky, which were sometimes broken and sometimes mended, suddenly stopped, and the flowing laws of the universe came to a standstill. Even the chaotic air currents stopped moving.

"Boom!"

Above the Rainbow Trout Venerable, a giant hand formed entirely of chaotic energy appeared, resembling the size of a mountain.

This chaotic energy surged down like a giant hand, as if the sky itself were pressing down!

Before the horrified eyes of the Rainbow Trout Venerable, the enormous hand that blotted out the sky enveloped him and dragged him into the city lord's mansion.

"Thankfully, Master Chaos City is here; thankfully, this is Chaos City!"

Qin Mu felt a wave of fear wash over him.

It was he who made Teacher Yu Chen take the blame for him. If he hadn't misappropriated the reputation of the Seed of Genes and the World Lord-level Bloodline Elixir, how could such a powerful person have gone to assassinate Teacher Yu Chen?

"Who! Who's behind this?"

After the initial fear came fury!!

I originally thought that I would be safe as long as I didn't leave Chaos City, but I never expected that there would be Venerable-level experts assassinating me even inside Chaos City!

"Anyone who dares to assassinate Teacher Yu Chen will pay the price!"

Qin Mu felt an intense chill in his heart, and an unprecedented, terrifying killing intent.

"No need to worry, no one in Chaos City can assassinate Immortal Domain Dust under my nose."

"He's just a mere Universe Venerable. Even if the Lord of the Universe were to assassinate him, I could protect him within Chaos City."

The voice of the Chaos City Lord entered Qin Mu's mind, calming him down from his rage.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Qin Mu bowed respectfully in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Mu then straightened up, flew out of his residence, and headed towards the location of the Immortal Domain Dust.

"Teacher Yu Chen!"

Qin Mu's eyes showed self-reproach.

"Hahaha."

"To think that a Venerable-level expert would attempt to assassinate a mere Immortal like myself—I am truly blessed!"

The immortal Yu Chen, dressed in white robes, burst into laughter, showing no sign of panic.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Seeing Qin Mu fly over, Immortal Yu Chen waved his hand to stop Qin Mu from saying what he was about to say.

As he spoke, Immortal Yu Chen stood up, walked down from the rooftop, and sat down in the living room, with Qin Mu following closely behind.

"I never expected these alien races to be so insane! They actually dared to assassinate me in Chaos City. Too bad this is Chaos City!"

The fear in Yu Chen's immortal eyes had long since dissipated, replaced by a calm and composed demeanor.

When he agreed to Qin Mu's request, he had actually imagined the scene of being assassinated and even prepared for the end of his life.

He was overjoyed to have such an outstanding disciple as Qin Mu.

Before the Genius Battle, Yu Chen already knew that Qin Mu's talent was extremely amazing, probably far exceeding his imagination.

As he had predicted, Qin Mu stood out in the Genius Battle and became the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, a super strong human.

But what surprised him even more was when Qin Mu took out "Bloodline Evolution" and told him that the fifth level had been completed and that the Seed of Genes was something Qin Mu had researched.

At that moment, he could die without regrets.

"Teacher, I..."

Qin Mu was speechless for a moment.

There are so many things I want to say, but I just can't bring myself to say them.

Ultimately, it was all for his own benefit to make his training smoother, so he made Teacher Yu Chen take the blame.

Ultimately, it all comes down to being too weak!

As the swarm grew stronger, they continuously developed gene seeds and world lord-level bloodline potions, which made him somewhat proud.

But only now did he understand.

These are all illusions!

When faced with danger, only strength matters!

"Hahaha, this assassination attempt has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I think I'm about to break through to a higher level."

"Immortal Domain Dust said with a smile."

He had cultivated for many years and had accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

After arriving in Chaos City to cultivate, resources were plentiful. However, after experiencing a life-or-death crisis, all the accumulated strength was instantly reduced to firewood.

"Is a breakthrough imminent?"

Qin Mu was also overjoyed. He knew that Teacher Yu Chen had stayed in the Immortal stage for a very long time, but he didn't expect him to break through at this time.

"Um."

……

In contrast to Yu Chen's nonchalant attitude, the powerful figures on the rooftops of the various cultivation residences in the city were in an uproar.

"The Rainbow Trout Venerable actually attempted to assassinate Immortal Domain Dust? Was he being controlled by a soul?"

The eyes of a powerful man were filled with disbelief.

"Impossible! If he were controlled by a soul, the Chaos City Lord could not have failed to detect him in the initial universe."

"He committed the assassination voluntarily!"

Another venerable figure, exuding a powerful aura, sighed.

"In this situation, it is highly likely that his mind has been bewitched! The Rainbow Trout Venerable had an extremely miserable childhood and already harbors resentment towards us humans."

well……"

This venerable one clearly knew something, but he only shook his head and sighed, saying nothing more.

"It must be a Zerg tactic; the Zerg are masters at manipulating people's minds."

One of the experts speculated.

"It's hard to say; the demon race also has similar methods!"

"Making a move within Chaos City is just courting death! Once he starts, he won't even have a chance to commit suicide! There will likely be a purge afterwards."

Some strong individuals disdain it.

A powerful figure of Rainbow Trout Venerable's caliber, willing to act as a spy for other races, is highly likely to cultivate a group of spies.

If this is exposed now, Virtual Universe Company will likely have many people killed if they follow the trail.

Moreover, is there really only one person like Rainbow Trout Master?

Even Venerable-level experts have fallen victim to this, not to mention those below the Venerable level.

Listening to the surrounding experts discussing amongst themselves, Qin Mu left Teacher Yu Chen's residence, allowing his teacher to focus on preparing for his breakthrough.

"Zerg! Demons! Machines!"

Qin Mu thought to himself.

"Since you dared to attempt assassination, you should be prepared for retaliation, right?"

"Prepare for the swarm's revenge!!!"
