Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 349 The Second Batch of Special Lifeforms, Luo Feng Breaks Through

"Have we arrived?"

Qin Mu's expression brightened with joy.

"Yes, among them are 8 Universe Venerables, 32 Immortals, and 3 Realm Lords!"

They are the most outstanding geniuses from the five major human factions, each of whom has possessed a special life form.

Moreover, these special life forms are all very powerful, and even if their gene count is not high, they still have unique characteristics.

Possession of a life form of this caliber is considered a superior, even top-tier, opportunity within our human race, and therefore, its numbers are quite limited.

"That's what the Lord of Chaos City said."

"A top-tier, top-class opportunity?"

Qin Mu recalled that in the original timeline, the Chaos City Lord had told Luo Feng that his experience of possessing the Golden Horned Beast was only considered "above average" among the human race.

The Golden Horned Beast itself is nothing special; its only highlight is its bloodline talent ability: "cloning"!

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Qin Mu expressed his gratitude respectfully.

The fact that the five top powers would send their most outstanding geniuses to him for research must have come with considerable pressure.

Keep in mind that there are a total of eight Universe Venerables among them!

"It's alright, just take it easy during your research and don't go overboard."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Qin Mu and said.

"Don't worry, teacher, it'll definitely be back to you alive and kicking!"

Qin Mu immediately assured him.

"Also, the second batch of special life forms for you has been transferred here as well. There aren't many, only about ten."

Only two of them had a gene multiplication rate exceeding 1,000 times, while the rest only exceeded 100 times.

They are Phantom Whale and Snow Vine.

The phantom whale is an extremely large flesh-and-blood creature.

It is said to be a descendant of the Beast God, and is naturally skilled in the laws of light and time.

There are only five of these Snow Vine in the entire primordial universe; they were personally captured for you by the Giant Axe Founder.

As for the rest, you can see for yourself. Some are immortals, and some are realm lords.

Seeing Qin Mu's appearance, the Lord of Chaos City continued.

"Have special life forms arrived too?"

Qin Mu was quite excited; this was double happiness!

We're in for a busy time now!

"Yes, we've arrived."

The Lord of Chaos City took out a world ring and handed it to Qin Mu.

"Understood, Teacher Xie."

Upon obtaining the World Ring, Qin Mu instantly scanned it with his consciousness and indeed saw more than a dozen special life forms that had fallen into a deep sleep.

In the center of the world ring, a huge vine, several kilometers thick, lay sprawled across the earth. If spread out, its size would exceed one million kilometers.

Clearly, this is the special life form, the Snow Vine!

Bo Xue Teng possesses the innate secret technique of transplantation.

With this secret technique, Bo Xue Teng is able to have two clones!

Moreover, they can all easily reach a thousand times the gene potential, which is much stronger than the upper limit of the Golden Horned Beast's clone talent.

With these two clone talents as a comparison, Qin Mu might be able to conduct a more in-depth study.

This snow vine belongs to plant life, which is at a much higher level than the Tree of Life, and it also greatly helps to improve the War Ancient Tree.

But what attracted Qin Mu the most was a huge, whale-like creature floating next to the snow vine.

A special life form—the Phantom Whale!

With a mental scan, Qin Mu knew that its length reached 18 kilometers!

Its entire body is sky blue, and it has two pairs of wings on its back that appear to be made of light.

Even when it was asleep, the two pairs of light wings were still slowly flapping.

The dorsal fin of the phantom whale is particularly short, less than 1.5% of its body length. Its flippers are also not very long, with four toes. The trailing edge of the flippers does not have a wavy notch, and the tail is broad and flat.

Its entire body is streamlined and looks like a razor.

"A descendant of the Beast God?"

Qin Mu's pupils contracted sharply; this was arguably the special life form he needed most.

In the first and second stages of the Perfect Divine Body, the main characters are Starry Sky Beasts, which are descendants of the Beast God!

Ideally, the third stage should also consist of special life forms, such as the descendants of a cosmic behemoth.

This way of conducting research might be much easier.

Unexpectedly, the Chaos City Lord actually found him a special life form with a gene multiplier of over a thousand times and such a huge size.

In fact, Qin Mu sensed that this Illusion Whale was actually a peak World Lord.

Although Qin Mu could study special life forms at the immortal level, it was much easier to study those that had not transformed their bodies into divine bodies.

"Such a massive living being of flesh and blood is much larger than Behemoth!"

Qin Mu sighed inwardly.

Compared to the special life forms of plants and rocks that span millions or tens of millions of kilometers, it is quite rare for flesh-and-blood life forms to reach this extent.

Compared to these two special life forms, the rest are far inferior.

"Judging from your expression, you're not in the mood for idle chatter with me."

Seeing Qin Mu's excited expression, the Lord of Chaos City laughed.

"Then I'll go and take a look."

Qin Mu didn't refute, just chuckled and prepared to leave.

"Go, go, your research is important, but remember not to neglect your cultivation!"

Your junior brother Luo Feng has also broken through to the Realm Lord level. Don't let him break through to Immortality while you're still stuck at the Realm Lord stage.

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand, seemingly dismissing them.

"Hmm, Luo Feng has broken through to the Realm Lord level?"

Qin Mu was slightly taken aback.

Before entering the extraterritorial battlefield, Qin Mu arranged for a group of geniuses from Earth to fully display their talents in the Illusionary Sea.

While Thor, Hong, and Jia Yi were each accepted as personal disciples by the Lord of the Universe, Luo Feng also quickly passed the Chaos City Lord's test and became a personal disciple.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng spent eight hundred years in Chaos City before passing the test.

This was partly due to Qin Mu's help in increasing the gene multiplier, and more importantly, because of Qin Mu's demonstration, Luo Feng did not hide the fact that he had possessed the Golden Horned Beast's clone, and fully displayed his talent.

It's not surprising that he broke through to become a realm master at this time.

I wonder if the teacher bestowed upon me the ability to kill Wu?

That's a very powerful mechanical artifact.

More importantly, Luo Feng is not Qin Mu. Becoming a Realm Lord means that it won't be long before he has to go to the outer battlefield or the secret realm for life-and-death training.

The more talented a person is, the higher the demands of their training!

Meanwhile, in the outer battlefield, the second black metal plate from the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" awaits him.

The swarm has been fighting on extraterrestrial battlefields for hundreds of years without finding it.

With Luo Feng's luck, he might be able to find it soon and further boost his gene multiplier.

I can also take this opportunity to study the peculiar evolutionary model in the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

Of course, more importantly, Luo Feng will also face his greatest test and opportunity!

That's the Star Tower recognizing its master!

Success will lead to meteoric rise.

What if we fail?

Nature itself is a path to destruction.

Even if you had a clone, it wouldn't help.

When the Star Tower recognizes a master, the stronger the candidate's soul, the more terrifying the recognition process becomes.

Realm Lords, Immortals, and even those who recognize a master are all possible.

There is not even the slightest possibility that the Cosmic Venerable One will be able to achieve this.

Before Luo Feng, there were two other examples of candidates who failed.

The first candidate persisted for 2600 years before his death, and the second candidate persisted for 3300 years before his death during the process of recognizing the Lord.

However, it takes a full 6000 years to successfully recognize a master!

This requires extremely strong mental cultivation!

During this process, no one could help him; he had to rely on himself.

Under his influence, his life has been much smoother, and he has never experienced a true life-or-death ordeal, especially the transformation he underwent in the life-or-death battle with the Golden Horned Beast. Can he overcome it?

Qin Mu was unaware of this.

Even if it happened again, Qin Mu would still do the same thing.

"As the senior, I should find some time to congratulate him."

Qin Mu smiled.

Although he learned of Luo Feng's whereabouts, Qin Mu did not go to find him immediately. Instead, he took the second batch of special life forms given to him by his teacher, the Chaos City Lord, and entered the Mother Nest.

Within the inner world, at the center of hundreds of mother nests, the body of the phantom whale lay on the fungal carpet.

The mother nests, each over 3,000 kilometers high, appear as tiny as toys in the face of the phantom whales.

Yet, within this seemingly tiny mother nest, fleshy vines spread out until they completely covered the phantom whale's body.

At the same time, a massive soul force invaded the consciousness of the Illusion Whale.

From the very beginning, Qin Mu sensed an extremely large soul consciousness.

The Phantom Whale showed extreme resistance to the invasion of the Zerg's soul consciousness, a situation Qin Mu had never encountered when invading the Zerg Queen.

"Buzz—"

Awakened, the phantom whale let out a long cry and then began to fight back frantically.

"As expected of a special life form with a life level a thousand times higher, it's far more difficult to surpass even the invincible Zerg kings. Its willpower is comparable to that of a Universe Venerable?"

Qin Mu's eyes showed surprise.

Not only was the resistance strong, but Qin Mu even discovered that the soul of this phantom whale was emanating waves of extremely powerful illusions!

It seems they want to infiltrate the swarm's soul network in return!

It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to possess such a special life, even for someone with a strong will like Hong.

The fundamental differences in life are too great.

In fact, this is also why no one has tried to possess the phantom whale after it was captured.

"This level of illusion would probably make an ordinary king instantly fall into it; it truly lives up to its name, the Illusionary Whale."

Too bad you've encountered a swarm of insects!

Instead of getting angry, Qin Mu laughed and then mobilized an even larger amount of soul will to crush it.

Upon breaking through and receiving the inheritance of the Abyss, Qin Mu's soul and will reached the level of a cosmic overlord.

Moreover, there's the assistance of the insect swarm.

No matter how powerful this phantom whale is, how could it possibly resist?

As expected, once Qin Mu exerted his power, the phantom whale was forced to retreat steadily under the swarm's will.

"It's done!"

After a while, an extremely large point of light appeared in the swarm's soul network.

The intensity of this soul light is far greater than that of the Hive Tyrant, or even the Hive Queen, who was transformed from the Zerg Queen Mother!

"This phantom whale is not only enormous in size, but its soul is also ridiculously powerful."

Qin Mu's will descended into the body of the Phantom Whale, easily flapping the two pairs of light wings on its body.

"Of the three talents, two are related to the soul."

"Besides serving as research material, this thing might have other uses."
