Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 282 Gathering of the Strong

Thousands of miles away from the desolate continent.

When the group of dozens of King-level experts from the Mechanical Clan arrived, they witnessed a scene that shocked them.

Above the desolate continent, a fleshy planet with a diameter of about 100,000 kilometers floated.

The surface of the flesh planet is covered with honeycomb-like tunnel structures, and countless fleshy tentacles float on it.

In the starry sky, billions of colossal beasts, each over a hundred meters long, are devouring the corpses and remains of Zerg warriors and mechanical golems floating in the void.

Whether it's flesh and blood or metal debris, they devour it all without hesitation.

In particular, dozens of enormous creatures, each over three thousand kilometers long and resembling whales, could devour millions of pieces of carcasses in a single, terrifyingly large swallow.

But what terrified them even more was the terrifying spatial turbulence that filled the void outside the desolate continent, with all sorts of chaotic, fragmented, and layered spatial currents surging about.

On the desolate continent, the endless land and mountains within a million-kilometer radius had all vanished, leaving only a million-kilometer radius of void.

The aftershocks alone were enough to terrify dozens of powerful kings.

"Is this the Nazeg race? How come there are so many of them? Weren't they said there were only a hundred or so special life forms?"

"That's worth billions, right?"

"And this shattered space in the void."

"This, this..."

The dozens of powerful kings who rushed over were stunned; what they saw was simply too shocking.

"What kind of attack could cause space to shatter like this?"

That's an incredibly terrifying attack. Even a peak-level King-rank expert couldn't achieve that.

"That's insane."

"No wonder nine King-level experts perished at once, and they were even high-level Kings!"

Then, another group of King-level experts appeared in the distance, followed by another group in the sky.

Groups of powerful kings arrived one after another.

The total number quickly exceeded one hundred, and they were completely stunned and bewildered when they arrived.

The intelligence report mentioned a powerful special life form and hundreds of geniuses from the Zeg clan, didn't it?

Who provided this information?

The scene in the void, the shattered space according to the aftershocks of the explosion.

They were able to accurately determine how terrible the previous attack was, and how capable it was of wiping them out.

All eyes turned to a mechanical race king, the only mechanical race member to survive the great war.

"Outside the desolate continent, it was caused by a combined attack by four mechanical race kings and three insectoid kings."

At that time, the special life form Behemoth had just emerged from the dark universe. We gathered about 30 billion world lord insectoids and machine puppets and launched a joint attack.

As a result, Behemoth withstood an attack that was enough to severely injure a King-level being, or even an attack that made a King-level being invincible, without even sustaining a scratch.

The only surviving mechanical king looked horrified.

"The explosion on the desolate continent was caused by Behemoth using a method similar to a combined attack."

"I don't know much about those giant beasts either; the battle ended too quickly."

The Zeg clan is too powerful. Although they are only realm lords, each of them has mastered spatial sealing, time freezing, and teleportation!

A single attack possesses at least 30,000 times the power of a peak Realm Lord, making its strength comparable to that of a high-ranking King.

Fortunately, they have a fatal weakness in defense, making them only comparable to those who are granted the title of Marquis.

We were unaware at first that their spears were highly poisonous, and hundreds of immortals perished in an instant, including the Fire Meteor King.

The other eight kings were all affected by the time freeze and then killed by Behemoth using a combined attack-like technique.

The many immortal kings present looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing the words of the sole surviving mechanical king.

So, aside from your initial coordinated attack, you were instantly defeated and didn't even know what tricks the opponent had up their sleeve.

"I think this is going to be a big problem. Those special life forms of the Zeg race are very strong."

"Everyone, I have a bad feeling about this, I'm leaving now."

Whoosh!

Immediately, a powerful expert at the King level teleported away.

Those who have survived to this day and become kings are all incredibly shrewd.

Several newly appointed kings, hoping to get a bargain, slipped away silently without saying a word.

The shattered space and fragmented continents reveal one thing—this place is extremely dangerous!

Those of us who are far less capable, if we're being wise, would naturally run away as soon as possible.

"I knew it, military merits are hard to earn."

In the military merit system, only the Zeg race, with their humanoid forms and bodies reaching ten kilometers in length, possess military merits comparable to those of a peak-ranking king; others do not.

A powerful figure from the Mechanical Race faction, who had been granted the title of King, sneered.

He was not a member of the Machine Race, but merely an ally of them.

In fact, the later batches of kings were mostly from the Mech race, with very few from the Zerg. The majority were Mechs or allies of the Zerg.

In the extraterritorial battlefield, the number of powerful individuals among the Mechanical Race, Demon Race, and Zerg Race is less than that of their allies.

"It's certain that it won't be profitable; the higher-ups aren't stupid."

It wasn't as difficult as you might imagine. You've all probably seen the battle footage, right?

The nine immortal kings who later fell were all restricted by time freeze, and then Behemoth used a technique similar to a combined attack to kill them.

The powerful king-level expert of the Time-Space Nightmare Beast clan analyzed.

"Each time, it takes at least five Zegs simultaneously casting Time Freeze to completely restrict the three-breath duration of a high-level King."

This shows that although they had grasped the concept of time stopping, it wasn't a profound understanding.

One-on-one, with a maximum limit of the initial level of King.

Behemoth's combined attack was powerful, each strike comparable to a peak-level King, but its attack speed was too slow. If it weren't for being restrained, it would have been impossible to hit a King-level expert.

As Time-Space Nightmare Beasts, one of their heads possesses spatial attributes, while the other possesses temporal attributes. They have extremely strong talents in the fundamental laws of space and time, and instantly analyzed the weaknesses of the insect swarm.

"And that poison... we can't engage them in close combat!"

"Let's wait for the real powerhouse to arrive. Behemoth's defense is too strong."

To break through Behemoth's defenses, one would need to be at least at the King's Limit.

The other kings present nodded in agreement, clearly acknowledging the analysis of the king-level expert from the Time-Space Nightmare Beast clan.

Those who can be crowned kings must have excellent judgment.

Space tremors continued, and batches of kings arrived.

"The Shield King! The Shield King is here too?"

The assembled King-level experts stirred with excitement as they watched a King-level expert being teleported over.

He possessed an exceptionally powerful aura, stood approximately ten meters tall, and was covered in black keratin, with a heavy shield resembling a tortoise shell on his back.

The Shield King is extremely famous in the entire outer battlefield, the first battlefield.

However, his fame does not stem from his status as a peak-level King-level expert, but rather from his role as a soul slave controlled by the Zerg Queen, the immortal 'Black Soul'.

His presence means that his master, "Black Soul," is also present.

Because of her frail health, the Zerg Queen usually sends her strongest defensive soul servants on the outside while she and the Immortal Legion hide in the World Ring.

The Zerg Queen, capable of controlling the souls of even the strongest King-level beings, is far superior to a weak Queen like the Illusionary Spirit King.

The powerful members of the Zerg camp immediately converged on the Shield King, with the Zerg Queen Black Soul seemingly leading the group.

The space trembled again.

"It's the King of Nirvana!"

Almost all the powerful figures who arrived early focused their attention on the one who had come alone, carrying a huge blood-red warhammer on his back.

He carried a huge blood-red warhammer on his back, his whole body was covered with a layer of black scales, he had a head similar to a unicorn tiger, with a blue stripe and a blood stripe on his face, and three scaled tails.

Just standing there, it seemed as if the space itself was trembling.

"It's the King of Nirvana!"

Although there were hundreds of immortal kings present, they all fell silent, their aura suppressed by this powerful figure.

……

Inside the insect hive fortress, Qin Mu sensed a series of intense spatial fluctuations and narrowed his eyes.

"There are quite a few people here, nearly five hundred high-level kings, eighteen of them are at the peak of the kingship, and there is also the insect queen 'Black Soul' and the demon king of annihilation."

These powerful alien kings were not too far from the battlefield, only a few million kilometers away.

However, this distance exists within the spacetime controlled by the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life controls a spacetime range of 60 million kilometers.

Although the territory has not been fully expanded, it is not a problem to gather intelligence using the Tree of Life's talents.

More importantly, the other party made no attempt to conceal anything.

After reviewing the information on the Zerg Queen "Black Soul" and the Demon King of Annihilation, Qin Mu nodded slightly.

The first battlefield outside the domain is home to several incredibly terrifying entities.

They are all the best in their respective camps.

The Zerg Queen, the Immortal Black Soul King, is one, and the Annihilation King is another.

Dark Souls is a game where powerful soul energy and an immortal insectoid army dominate the battlefield.

The King of Annihilation, however, relied on a powerful weapon called the "Ham of Annihilation" to commit endless slaughter and establish a formidable reputation, all thanks to his individual combat prowess.

These two are incredibly powerful due to their race, treasures, and other factors; they are both close to being "invincible at the King level."

Of course, it's only close.

People like Teacher Luo Feng and True King Yan, who can reach the "invincible king" level at the immortal stage, are extremely rare, even among the billions of races in the entire universe. Their numbers are far fewer than those of the universe's Venerables.

The gap may seem small, but it gets harder and harder as you go on. It's too difficult to make it even better or improve it further.

In the first battlefield of the extraterritorial battlefield, the King of Annihilation is already considered one of the top existences.

Even invincible beings like True King are seeking opportunities to advance to the Venerable level.

Few will venture into the extraterritorial battlefield, because it poses no challenge to them.

"I wonder if any more powerful individuals will arrive?"

Qin Mu was still waiting, and if possible, he hoped that more people would come.

As long as the Tree of Life uses its spatial-temporal domain, those below the initial level of Kingship have almost no power to resist.

Those who are granted the title of King are like those who have fallen into a quagmire, finding it difficult to even move.

Only those at the peak of the King-level or the limit of the King-level can maintain some of their combat power.

The ability to control time and space, a power that only the master of the universe can possess, is no ordinary thing.

Caught off guard, Qin Mu was confident that he could kill all the powerful figures within the domain in just a short time!

Unfortunately, this opportunity only comes once!

As a giant life form, and positioned as a fortress, the Zerg hive fortress moves very slowly, with a significant speed difference compared to even a King-level powerhouse.

After this, once the ability to control spacetime is exposed, no one will dare to approach the Zerg hive fortress unless they are stupid.

It will be difficult to achieve such results again.

"Wait a little longer! Almost everyone will be here."
