Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 315 The True King Breakthrough During the Experiment

Chaos City, within the Chaos Void.

Within the enormous mother nest, which is 3,000 kilometers high and about 10,000 kilometers in diameter, are numerous flesh and blood chambers of varying sizes.

Within these flesh-and-blood chambers lie tens of thousands of immortal humans, ranging in strength from immortal military lords to invincible kings, and their divine bodies vary in size.

The first batch that entered had divine bodies that were only two or three meters tall, but the very first batch that entered had divine bodies that were generally tens of kilometers long, or even hundreds of kilometers long!

In particular, one of the powerful kings had his divine body expand to a thousand kilometers!

"Teacher, the first batch of immortals has basically reached the limit in terms of gene multiplication and divine body. It's about time to send them out."

Qin Mu and the Lord of Chaos City walked inside the Mother Nest, examining the immortals whose genes had been enhanced.

"The gene multiplication rate has reached 100 times."

The basic limit of a human's divine body for a normal kingship is 1000 times the combat power of a world lord. When the gene multiplier reaches 100 times, it can easily reach 10 million times!

It's even more powerful than some special life forms.

Qin Mu explained as he walked.

"Hmm, I'll have these powerful individuals go to the secret realm to recuperate for a while first."

The Lord of Chaos City was all smiles. This mother nest was located inside the Chaos Void, and he would come over to check on it from time to time when Qin Mu was adjusting the genes.

Although it's incomprehensible, the fact that these immortals' auras are getting stronger, their divine bodies are getting bigger, and their gene counts are getting higher and higher is undeniable.

Not only him, but also most of the universe lords of the human race, including the founder of the giant axe, have been here.

When they witnessed firsthand how the genetic multiplication of immortal powerhouses increased and their divine bodies grew larger, even the Lord of the Universe was shocked.

This is simultaneously boosting the gene multiplier of thousands, even tens of thousands, of immortal powerhouses.

How defiant!

It can be said that every universe lord who left the Chaos Void looked at Qin Mu with shining eyes!

"This person has excellent talent and willpower for becoming a king."

The Lord of Chaos City said with satisfaction.

Through continuous observation, he also realized that it was indeed not easy for a divine body to be elevated to this level.

To enlarge the divine body, one must continuously tear apart one's own soul and merge it into the newly formed divine body.

Such inhuman suffering cannot be endured without a strong will.

Among the previous batches of immortals, only one person was able to reach this level.

"Unfortunately, the resources required to achieve such a level of divine body and genetic multiplication are too exaggerated; even a cosmic venerable would go bankrupt."

Qin Mu looked at the immortal king and said.

As an experimental subject, Qin Mu didn't consider resource consumption at all, but rather tried to achieve perfection as much as possible.

These resources are all provided by the higher levels of humanity.

However, once the trials are complete and the program is widely adopted, it will be impossible to do it this way.

The stronger you are, the more extravagant the resources required for improvement become!

"The resources consumed are not much, and most of them are basic resources, which are not considered precious."

Under normal circumstances, even if the resources consumed are hundreds or thousands of times more, it is impossible to increase the gene multiplier to 100 times.

Not to mention, his divine body has also increased to over a thousand kilometers.

After his upgrade, his strength became very powerful even among those who were invincible at the King level; ordinary cosmic venerables could not kill him.

If you're lucky enough to break through, you'll be considered quite strong even among the Cosmic Venerables.

The Lord of Chaos City laughed.

Why not invest a little resources to cultivate a genius?

The resources he invested can be easily returned to the clan a hundredfold or a thousandfold once his strength increases.

In fact, Qin Mu had already tallied up all the resources consumed when he was adjusting their genes.

They're just waiting to make a fortune.

"what?"

As the two were talking, Qin Mu suddenly turned his head.

He sensed an unusual energy fluctuation emanating from a flesh-and-blood chamber.

That's Luo Feng's teacher, the True King Yan!

This burly ape-man with golden fur on his face was lying in the flesh chamber with his eyes closed, millions of flesh vines piercing his divine body and constantly modifying his genes.

After continuous adjustments, his divine body has reached hundreds of kilometers in length, and it continues to grow with each breath.

Strange patterns occasionally appeared on his divine body, making his understanding of the laws of earth and space clearer.

The True King himself is at the 10-fold genetic level and follows the path of fusion of earth, air, beast, and god.

Among the twelve peak bloodline star beasts, the Hill and Valley Beast is of the earth and air attributes!

After Qin Mu's adjustments, the True King was now a super giant beast, with his understanding of the laws of earth and space increasing more than a hundredfold.

His talent in the path of the Beast God can be described as being at its peak.

True King Yan's talent was actually inferior to that of top geniuses. He cultivated for a very long time and had the guidance of powerful figures within his clan, which allowed him to gradually reach the invincible state of a king.

For countless years, he had been stuck at the final step, and the only thing he could think of that could help him break through was the Beast God Token.

Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult to obtain.

The number of Beast God Inheritance Tokens in the entire universe is extremely limited, as they represent the most unique inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect.

The entire human race probably only has a few of each inheritance tokens, and the race also needs to plan for the peerless geniuses who will emerge in the billions of years to come. Without sufficient talent, one will absolutely not receive a direct bestowal.

In the original timeline, he also relied on the Beast God Token obtained by Luo Feng to receive the inheritance before finally breaking through.

Therefore, when the Lord of Chaos City approached him and told him about an opportunity, he agreed without hesitation.

"The aura within him, what is this?"

Qin Mu had some doubts.

"This might be the start of a breakthrough!"

The Lord of Chaos City looked over and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"He broke through to the Universe Venerable realm? His genes and divine body are still being modified; will that have an impact?"

Both genetic modification and physical alteration are extremely painful processes.

It is extremely difficult to even endure the transformation process, let alone to undergo transformation and cultivation at the same time.

As for the True King, he was clearly taking advantage of the transformation to cultivate.

If one can withstand the pain during the transformation process and comprehend the changes brought about by genetic and physical transformation, it will indeed be of great benefit to one's spiritual practice.

"this?"

The Lord of Chaos City was also somewhat unsure, as he had never seen anything like this before, especially since it involved a genetic modification process.

"Ask him yourself."

"This is what the Lord of Chaos City said."

Then, his voice entered the ears of the True King through the flesh and blood chamber.

"Zhenyan, are you about to break through? Should we pause the improvement of your genes and divine body?"

King Zhenyan opened his eyes, his face showing joy.

"Thank you, Lord Chaos City Lord, there's no need to stop!"

During the process of genetic and divine body enhancement, my ability to comprehend the laws has greatly improved.

Simultaneously observing the changes in the genes and divine body within the body is full of inspiration and generates numerous ideas.

I need to carefully reflect on it and then try to break through.

I estimate that this breakthrough to become a Universe Venerable will take at least a year and a half, and at most ten thousand years.

I feel very confident about making a breakthrough.

His tone was filled with gratitude and excitement.

Without a great opportunity, reaching the realm of a cosmic venerable is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He originally thought this opportunity would only increase his gene count and strengthen his divine body.

But when he suppressed the pain brought on by the genetic modification with his strong will and observed the changes, he knew that his opportunity had arrived.

He had waited too long for this day.

When one first embarks on the path to becoming a strong person, one is accompanied by family and friends. However, as time goes on, family and friends grow old one by one, and one's hometown becomes strong because of one's efforts. Especially after a long period of time, when the foundation of one's hometown has been established, one no longer needs to worry about anything.

It seems that nothing truly bothers him now that he, the true King Yan, is alive.

His only pursuit remains the path of the strong!

However, he has been unable to make progress, while some of the alien super geniuses who were once on par with him have become cosmic venerables.

King Zhenyan had no choice but to live in Chaos City, and teaching the younger generation was the only thing that gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Now that the Lord of Chaos City has granted him this opportunity, he finally has the possibility of breaking through, and he will do his best to seize it!

"Alright, you can focus on your breakthrough now."

After receiving an affirmative reply, the Lord of Chaos City was quite pleased.

"Haha, it seems like a breakthrough is imminent."

Qin Mu was also quite excited.

He overheard their conversation.

This is a breakthrough to the Universe Venerable Realm, and it happened under his supervision!

This was a great opportunity for him.

Because the millions of flesh and blood vines that pierced into True King's body could clearly sense the various changes that occurred during True King's breakthrough.

The entire process from breaking through to immortality to becoming a cosmic sovereign will be displayed before him.

"Qin Mu, this is all thanks to you! The human race has gained a powerful cosmic venerable because of you."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said that he was also quite pleased.

Even the most revered beings in the universe are different!

The difference between a peak-level King-level expert breaking through to become a Universe Venerable and an invincible King-level expert breaking through to become a Universe Venerable is completely different!

There are two kinds of "Invincible King".

One type is like a special life form, whose life level is naturally high, so it is easy for them to reach the "invincible king" level in the process of being crowned king.

One type is like the True King, who is at the level of a normal race. Even if they try their best to improve their life gene level, they would be lucky if they could improve it by 10 times.

With such limited abilities, how difficult would it be to reach the level of "invincible king" and survive under the tutelage of a cosmic sage?

One must possess some special methods that surpass those of countless powerful individuals.

Whether it's the first or the second type, once they reach the level of a Universe Venerable, their combat power is very strong.

The first type, after becoming a cosmic sovereign, possesses an extremely powerful divine body.

The second type of immortality allows one to survive under the protection of a Cosmic Venerable. But what happens after one becomes a Cosmic Venerable?

At this moment, True King Yan has acquired an enormous divine body on the second path!

This person has become a supreme being of the universe? How could that be?

It's safe to say that becoming the overlord of the universe is just around the corner!

"Haha, it's not my doing. The True King has been cultivating for hundreds of millions of years and was already on the verge of a breakthrough."

This is his opportune moment.

Qin Mu also smiled.

"It seems that this modification can not only increase the gene multiplier and divine body of some powerful individuals whose strength is on the verge of breaking through, but also greatly help them in breaking through."

I'll find a group of such people to test this out. If it really works, our human race might gain a large number of powerful beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables.

Qin Mu naturally understood the conversation with the Chaos City Lord. Many people are stuck at this step, and without enough opportunities, they will never be able to break through until they die!

Many immortal kings perished in their quest for opportunities, falling in dangerous secret realms and perilous places.

At this moment, Qin Mu's transformation is a great opportunity for these immortals who are stuck on the edge of breaking through!

"This requires an extremely high level of willpower."

Even for a powerful cultivator at the King level, enduring immense pain while simultaneously comprehending the principles of cultivation is extremely difficult.

Qin Mu said.

"How could it not be difficult to break through to the Dao Universe Venerable realm?"

Even if only one out of ten or a hundred succeeds, it's still a profit.

Let's arrange more immortals for the next batch.

"Your gene enhancement and modification effects might also include aiding in cultivation and breakthroughs."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed.

In just a few words, the Lord of Chaos City settled the matter.

"Okay, this is a good thing for me too."

"Now I have grasped the profound mysteries of the laws of time and space."

If more people break through, observing their successful fusion of the profound mysteries of the laws will also help my cultivation.

Qin Mu nodded.

"Have you grasped the three profound mysteries of the laws of time and space?"

The Lord of Chaos City suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Mu with surprise. This surprise made him even happier than when the True King broke through to the Universe Venerable.

"Yes, I've gained some insights from the battlefield outside the domain, and I've already grasped them."

Qin Mu smiled.

While cultivating in Chaos City, with the help of the insect swarm, he comprehended three profound mysteries: three types of sealing, teleportation, and time stillness.

After entering the extraterritorial battlefield and capturing several kings, including the King of Annihilation, the Zerg, after being transformed, naturally comprehended the remaining three profound mysteries through them.

"Then you should prepare to break through to immortality, right?"

"This is what the Lord of Chaos City said."

The realm lord stage was the limit for comprehending the profound mysteries of the laws.

The next step is to successfully merge the three spatial mysteries or the three temporal mysteries.

To become a Space Venerable who has fully comprehended the laws of space, or a Time Venerable who has fully comprehended the laws of time.

Someone like Qin Mu, once he breaks through, will definitely become an invincible king.

If one were to observe these kings breaking through and comprehend the profound mysteries of fusion, wouldn't it be easy to break through to the level of a cosmic venerable?

With Qin Mu's talent, the Lord of Chaos City had no doubt that both of them could break through to the Universe Venerable realm!

Why did the Lord of Chaos City accept Qin Mu as his personal disciple in the first place?

This is because Qin Mu has already crossed the threshold of all ten fundamental laws.

To become the master of the universe, one must fully comprehend the laws of space and time!

For other cosmic beings, this is arguably the most difficult step due to the repulsion of the laws.

However, Qin Mu had already laid a solid foundation during his time as a Realm Lord.

Once one steps into immortality, becoming a dual master of time and space is almost a certainty.

"Yes, it's time to make preparations. My inner world spans a billion kilometers and is suppressed by the Tree of Life, making it extremely stable."

Although I have grasped the profound mysteries of the laws of time and space, I do not feel a breakthrough.

Therefore, I plan to first try to create my own secret techniques.

Qin Mu smiled.

"Good! To create a secret technique, one must read extensively to enhance one's foundation."

What I gave you before was just to lay the foundation; you're still a bit short when it comes to creating true secret techniques.

I have granted you permission to access all the secret arts of my human race in the virtual universe!

The Lord of Chaos City waved his hand and granted Qin Mu immense authority.

Many of humanity's universe lords are extremely concerned about Qin Mu. The biggest problem at present is that Qin Mu has not yet become immortal and has a lifespan limit.

Only when Qin Mu breaks through to the Immortal realm can I feel at ease.

"Once you have read widely and have developed your ideas, I will arrange some special opponents for you, targeting your various weaknesses, so that you can hone your created secret techniques."

As for what resources you need, just let me know!
