Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 354 Changes Brought About by the Seed of Genes

boom!

A humanoid cosmic behemoth, about ten kilometers long and entirely fiery red, wielded a warhammer engulfed in raging flames and crashed down.

Blood rained down from the sky, and several demon cannon fodder were smashed into mincemeat.

Around him, countless Zerg swarms clashed with the demon realm lords, engaging in a frenzied slaughter.

At the heart of the battlefield, hundreds of millions of kilometers away, a massive insect hive thousands of kilometers long was engaged in a fierce battle with a demon race immortal king.

The aftershocks of the battle alone spread for hundreds of millions of kilometers, and no one dared to approach.

But this humanoid star beast didn't even blink, its gaze firmly fixed on the immortal demon race hidden in the battlefield, protected by countless cannon fodder.

Yes!

It is only 1.7 meters long, with a ferocious glint in its eyes, and an immortal body covered in scales and spikes on its elbows and knees.

Information about the target flashed through the humanoid starry sky behemoth's mind.

The Qiushi Clan is a member of the demon race.

One of the millions of energy-based life forms, they are bloodthirsty and murderous, enjoying devouring the corpses of other creatures, making them an extremely ferocious group.

Energy-based life forms, as a very powerful category in the universe, include a wide variety of races.

There is a powerful Demon Slayer Clan, known as the "strongest assassin clan," which belongs to the pinnacle of energy-based life forms.

There are also common energy-based life forms like the Qiu Shi Clan, which are still afraid of soul attacks and cannot change shape at will like the Mo Sha Clan, and have a fixed body structure.

However, once the body of the Qiushi Clan is blasted apart, the Qiushi Clan warriors can still reassemble themselves, which can be considered a manifestation of "energy-type life".

But each explosion caused them immense damage.

Moreover, the Qiu Shi Clan can devour the corpses of other creatures, replenishing and absorbing the energy from those corpses, which is also a manifestation of "energy-based life forms".

"This Qiushi Clan member is just an ordinary Immortal Army Lord. His strength is about 200 times that of a peak World Lord, which is considered very weak among Immortals. He must have just broken through recently."

The humanoid star beast "Warhammer" continued to approach the immortal demon, its expression one of madness.

His strength is already among the strongest of all realm lords; ordinary realm lords are no match for him.

To break through in a life-or-death battle and complete genetic transformation, the opponent must at least be a realm lord of the demon royal family!

However, as the battles in the outer battlefields intensified, it became increasingly difficult to find a demon royal family lord.

Therefore, he set his sights on immortality!

As a realm lord, hunt for immortals!

When the idea appeared in his mind, it quickly took root and sprouted, making him restless.

immortal.

For a long time, he considered them to be true gods!

In the past, he had never imagined that one day he would be able to hunt immortals.

His talent was mediocre, just like his nickname "Warhammer," which was utterly ordinary.

Not to mention the entire extraterritorial battlefield, even in this one war base, there are hundreds of people with the nickname "Warhammer".

Aside from his ruthlessness, everything about him was so ordinary and unremarkable.

He is not a human from the Cosmic Kingdom, but a human from the Divine Kingdom!

Unlike the humans of the Cosmic Kingdom, the humans of the Divine Kingdom only have the opportunity to access the virtual universe once they reach the cosmic level.

And it also requires the permission of immortal gods!

He broke through to the cosmic level and followed the immortal gods into the outer battlefield to fight, only then did he realize how vast the outside world was.

Whether it's good fortune or misfortune is hard to say.

The immortal god who led him into the extraterrestrial battlefield died in battle, and he was incorporated into another army, where he was fortunate enough to encounter the emergence of the Seed of Genes.

We fought our way through countless battles and have grown to where we are today.

Driven by the frenzy of battle, his bloodline continued to evolve, and he finally became a realm lord.

Humans of the Divine Kingdom are the least gifted among countless human races.

In a sense, their talent is even inferior to that of the human race with tenth-grade bloodlines in the universe!

Before the birth of the Seed of Genes, the majority of the soldiers of the Realm Lord were humans from the Divine Kingdom.

Over countless years, only 9082 immortal gods have been born, all of whom had special opportunities. Without such special opportunities, the humans of the divine kingdom are destined not to become "immortal".

Humans in the Divine Kingdom are the most numerous, yet they can only cultivate to the level of World Lord.

In the past, this was a message that was kept secret.

Most of the lords of the divine kingdoms never knew this secret until their deaths.

However, after the seed of genes was born, through repeated evolution, their bodies and bloodlines underwent transformations, breaking through these constraints!

More and more people are becoming immortal gods and realm lords, surpassing humanity in the universe.

This secret, ironically, spread.

As for the reason?

He was unaware.

Perhaps it was to make the Lord of the Divine Kingdom fight even more frantically...

Regardless of the reason, this made countless lords of divine kingdoms feel immense reverence for the birth of the Seed of Genes.

The reputation of the Domain Dust Pharmacist among them is terrifyingly high.

The same applies to Warhammer.

In fact, after more than ten bloodline transformations, his accumulation was already sufficient.

If he wanted, he could easily break through to the realm of immortality.

But he didn't do that.

Although he was born ordinary, countless bloody battles have given him an extremely profound foundation.

Having witnessed the vastness of the world, how could he possibly be willing to become just an ordinary immortal?

The emergence of the fifth-generation gene seed, in particular, solidified his belief.

He will become the most powerful immortal!

Even the Supreme Being of the Universe!

Thoughts raced through Warhammer's mind, making his blood surge.

It seemed as if heat was emanating from that enormous body that was ten kilometers tall.

However, he did not act rashly. Instead, he quickly discussed tactics with his teammates and communicated with the surrounding Zerg swarm.

How could someone who has survived a thousand years of the fiercest battles on foreign battlefields, endured countless bloody battles, and completed a bloodline transformation be a reckless person?

"I've made my move! You guys help me stop his teammates!"

Warhammer communicated telepathically with his teammates, his massive body erupting with power as he charged toward the ancient, ferocious beast.

During the eruption, incredibly hot energy began to gather in his hands.

Talent - Radiant Sun Activation!

With the blessing of his talent, he instantly unleashed five times his own power, and the fiery red energy cone pierced towards the Qiushi Clan Immortal.

The immortal of the Qiushi Clan, who was constantly monitoring the battle, quickly noticed the terrifying energy fluctuations and the fiery red humanoid star beast rushing towards him.

"A mere Realm Lord dares to challenge me!"

The Qiongshi Clan Immortal roared, extending its claws, and a large amount of fiery immortal divine power began to frantically condense between its claws, constantly compressing and solidifying.

He was also an immortal who was skilled in the fundamental laws of fire.

This was obviously intentional on Warhammer's part.

As a humanoid star behemoth that grows along the path of the Flame Star Beast, it has the highest resistance to fire, and can even gain an advantage when facing immortal gods of fire.

The fiery red energy cone collided with the immortal divine power fireball unleashed by the Qiushi Clan's immortal, creating a terrifying explosion. The powerful divine power fluctuations instantly tore apart the surrounding area for thousands of kilometers.

But to the disbelief in the eyes of the immortal of the Qiu Shi Clan, a portion of the fiery red energy cone actually penetrated the immortal divine power fireball he had condensed and landed on his armor.

The 1.7-meter-tall Qiushi Clan member was almost instantly enveloped by the violent energy impact.

"This explosion won't hurt me!"

The immortal of the Qiushi tribe roared, wielding a hundred-meter-long fiery iron chain in his hand, which quickly expanded to more than ten kilometers in length, sweeping towards the charging 'warhammer'.

It can transform into a humanoid cosmic behemoth, a 'warhammer' ten kilometers tall, completely ignoring the fiery iron chains. It raised its warhammer high and smashed it down on the Qiushi Clan Immortal.

boom!

The enormous flaming warhammer in the humanoid star beast's hand smashed into the Qiushi Clan's immortal scales almost instantly.

A terrifying impact force passed directly through his armor and into his entire body, causing his entire immortal divine body to tremble instantly, as if his immortal body was about to collapse.

Just as the warhammer struck his body, the immortal fiery chains of the Qiushi Clan also lashed out at the humanoid star beast's fiery red scales.

stab-

Scales flew off, revealing bright red flesh beneath. Then, under the flames, the flesh turned charred black.

"Hahaha!"

Despite his body being torn and bleeding, "Warhammer" seemed to feel no pain whatsoever. Instead, he used his left hand to frantically grab the immortal flame chain of the Qi Shi Clan.

He swung the warhammer wildly with his right hand, not caring at all even when his left hand was cut by the barbs on the flaming iron chain, exposing his tendons and bones.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the ferocious bombardment, the immortal body of the Qiushi Clan was completely shattered.

"Roar~~" A painful and angry roar rang out.

The shattered divine body of the scaly, scaled dragon coalesced and then discarded the chains of fire.

"You're asking for it!"

The immortal of the Qiushi clan, having regained his body, wielded a jet-black battle blade, unleashing a burst of light as he slashed at the humanoid star beast whose left arm was almost crippled and whose body was covered in torn flesh.

How dare this humanoid cosmic behemoth fight him?

As an energy life form and an immortal powerhouse, he can recover even if his entire body is completely shattered.

Unless it shatters too completely in a short time, and all the mental imprints are destroyed, it's impossible to kill him.

Facing the Qiushi Clan Immortal who had even abandoned his weapon, 'Warhammer' showed no fear. He put away the flaming iron chain and charged forward to engage in a frenzied battle with the Qiushi Clan Immortal.

In the midst of the battle, the massive scales of the Warhammer's body shattered continuously, and large chunks of flesh were cut away.

However, under his frenzied attacks, the immortal divine body of the Qiushi Clan shattered twice.

"Scum! Die!"

Suddenly, a maniacal laugh appeared on the ferocious face of the humanoid star beast.

As he grows into a behemoth of the Flame Star, his greatest strength lies in his regenerative abilities!

He was not afraid of even the immortals of the Qiushi Clan when it came to attrition warfare.

This is one of the reasons why he has survived on the battlefield to this day.

He grabbed the body of the Qiushi tribesman, firmly restraining him and preventing him from escaping.

Then, all his power converged to form a cage, without a single gap, completely trapping all the immortal divine power within. Then he crushed it down relentlessly.

Such overwhelming force would kill even an immortal member of the Qiushi clan.

"No! Help me!"

Sensing the threat of death, the Immortal of the Qi Shi Clan finally panicked and frantically cried for help from his teammates on the battlefield.

Two immortal demons on the battlefield noticed something was wrong and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the humanoid star beast whose scales were shattered.

But halfway there, two figures rapidly expanded, transforming into humanoid cosmic beasts that were also ten kilometers tall, and charged forward.

The Immortal of the Qilin Clan has teammates, but so does his 'Warhammer'!

"No~~"

A roar of pain, repression, and resentment emanated from the fiery red cage, then vanished.

The Qiushi Clan, immortal yet fallen!

"Hahaha! Finally, I have slain an immortal god!"

After the immortals of the Qi Shi Clan were completely annihilated, Warhammer laughed maniacally.

Amid the laughter, Warhammer felt the shackles that had once bound his mind completely broken.

Almost simultaneously, a surge of power erupted from the Seed of Genes, engulfing his entire body.

Following this energy, his shattered body and scales were rapidly repaired, and then his ten-kilometer-long body began to expand wildly.

The massive amount of energy stored in his inner world was extracted and continuously poured into his body.

Twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers...

Warhammer's body grew wildly.

Sensing that the immense energy within his inner world was about to be unable to support this transformation, 'Warhammer,' having had multiple experiences with bloodline evolution, quickly crushed the handfuls of cosmic crystals stored within his inner world, transforming them into the purest energy.

"My power has increased at least five times, and my perception of the laws is several times clearer!"

When its body swelled to a height of a hundred miles and finally stopped growing, Warhammer roared excitedly.

"Two more evolutions and I'll grow into a peak-blooded star beast comparable to one with ten times the genetic potential!"

After his initial excitement, his towering body transformed into human form and he sped off towards the rear of the battlefield.

His teammates also quickly distanced themselves from the enemy and, in human form, escorted him back to the rear.

The evolution process consumed too much of his energy, and unless he fights desperately, he is no longer fit to continue battling.

When escaping, the smaller the target, the better.

……

"As expected, once evolution is complete, it will be able to transform into a human body normally."

At the heart of the battlefield, Qin Mu, whose consciousness descended into Leviathan and observed the entire battlefield, clearly saw the battle between 'Warhammer' and the immortals of the Qiu Shi Clan, as well as his entire evolutionary process.

"The fifth-generation gene seed has strengthened the bloodline of the human race itself."

"Otherwise, given the domineering nature of the peak bloodline Starry Sky Beast genes, ordinary human bloodlines would be completely devoured, transforming into a true Starry Sky Beast."

Qin Mu's expression showed a hint of satisfaction.

Unlike previous evolutions, the fifth generation of the Gene Seed evolved not only the genes of the peak bloodline star behemoth.

Human genes themselves have also been greatly enhanced.

This is precisely why they are able to retain their human bodies.

"Continue to evolve. Only after completing three evolutions can the power of the fifth-generation gene seed be unleashed."
