Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 406 The Orcs' Trump Card and Luo Feng's Improvement

"Unfortunately, I haven't mastered the spatial worm's talent—the spatial wormhole."

Otherwise, even in a confined space, movement would still be possible.

To break through the spatial blockade at this stage, we still need to rely on the hatched space worms.

Qin Mu said with some regret.

The principle of teleportation is to merge into spatial fluctuations and instantly appear in another distant place by following the spatial fluctuations.

Once spatial fluctuations are locked, teleportation is normally impossible, and even the most powerful beings in the universe cannot defy it.

But nothing is absolute.

For a cosmic overlord, the impenetrable spatial blockade can be easily broken.

The two are not on the same level at all in their understanding of the laws of space.

As for special life forms, in addition to their extremely high genetic diversity, they also possess various extraordinary talents that allow them to easily bypass blockades.

The most direct and domineering aspect is, of course, the World Tree's innate ability to control space and time.

With control over space and time, not even an immortal's spatial blockade, let alone a cosmic sovereign's spatial blockade, can work.

Another key element is the Phantom Whale's talent, Wings of Time and Space.

With a flap of its wings, it can easily slip into spacetime rifts, and even if trapped by a domain-type treasure, it can easily escape.

Unfortunately, the innate runes of these spacetime talents are far too complex. Even though the insect swarm has spent thousands of years, they still can't even get to the basics.

Therefore, Qin Mu could only shift his research focus further down the line.

For example, the spatial wormhole, a natural ability of the spatial wormworm.

As a special type of spatial life form, the space worm can easily blend into spatial fluctuations. After activating its innate spatial wormhole, it can connect two distant places.

Or perhaps it is a special life form called the Phantom Crane, which possesses a talent called the Space Domain, allowing it to merge into space, control a space within a radius of millions of miles, and condense its own body anywhere within that radius.

Its effect is similar to Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone gaining the second talent 'Domain'.

The Phantom Crane is stronger than the transformed Demon Slayer Clan.

After all, Luo Feng's Demon Slayer Clan clone, even after being strengthened by the Heart of Space, only had a hundred times the genetic life, while the Phantom Crane's life level reached 500 times.

The tens of thousands of special life forms in the inheritance space were analyzed. There were dozens of special life forms similar to space worms and phantom cranes, and more than a dozen of them had talents that could break through spatial blockades.

The space worm has a life level of 1000 times, which is considered to have a high priority in talent, but it is not that difficult.

The tens of thousands of special life forms in the inheritance space possess a vast treasure trove of genes and talents.

Over the past thousand years, even with his wholehearted dedication, Qin Mu could only study the simpler aspects of it.

Even so, this greatly improved his understanding of the Ten Fundamental Laws.

For example, through his research on the spatial wormhole talent, Qin Mu gained a deeper understanding of the laws of space, surpassing that of ordinary spatial masters.

The spatial wormhole talent is also one of Qin Mu's key research areas.

This talent is very useful; many who reach the King level in the outer battlefield have mastered spatial sealing.

Once war breaks out, a spatial blockade will be immediately activated, covering an area of ​​millions of miles.

In this situation, other units in the swarm will be much slower to provide support and will not be able to arrive instantly.

Providing support is especially difficult when the distance is far.

The ability to create spatial wormholes can solve this problem.

It can not only break through spatial barriers, but also create a wormhole that can penetrate thousands of light-years and arrive instantly.

If Qin Mu could fully master this talent, he could even use it to build a vast insect network, connecting the entire insect swarm.

"Although I can't fully grasp this talent yet, hatching a few space worms can achieve a similar effect."

It just requires some modifications to the appearance and aura of the space worm.

It's reasonable for an ancient war tree to have some insects living alongside it, right?

The space worms can be placed in this batch of Orcish troops entering the outer battlefield as a trump card.

This also lays the groundwork for the future upgrade of the Zerg swarm's Leviathan fleet.

Qin Mu was thinking as he improved Luo Feng's genes and modified his talents.

Three years later, the Orcs dispatched by the Ancient Tree of War entered the battlefield.

He needs to give the Orcs some trump cards.

Over thousands of years of battles, the Zerg swarm has evolved to a terrifying degree, making it difficult for the still-immature Ork to stand a chance.

Ordinary low- to mid-tier units can rely on the Orcs' super vitality and unique breeding methods to fight against them.

Higher-level units are not suitable; they can only be used on the still imperfect third-generation perfect divine bodies.

Moreover, through thousands of years of fighting, the Zerg swarm has developed a very complete combat system, with corresponding Zerg units for command, reconnaissance, ranged attacks, melee combat, trapping enemies, and coordinated attacks.

Orcs are more diverse in their type.

After acquiring the genes of those special life forms in the inheritance space, the Zerg swarm is still evolving at an astonishing rate.

The most typical example is the modular Behemoth, which, after absorbing a large number of superior genes from special life forms, has expanded to a size of millions of kilometers.

Although it still can't compare to the ancient war tree, it's already quite astonishing among living beings.

Furthermore, there is the second-generation Super Leviathan, developed based on the phantom whale!

Leviathan, with its size of 180,000 kilometers and the talent of the Wings of Time and Space, would be absolutely invincible once unleashed.

"Yes, in addition to the third-generation perfect divine body, the super-large combat units created from the Tree of Life can also be brought along."

While ancient war trees transformed from the World Tree are inconvenient to enter extraterritorial battlefields, ancient war trees transformed from the Tree of Life are still possible.

Qin Mu thought to himself.

The Tree of Life is the earliest and longest-studied special life form that Qin Mu obtained.

Although it is vastly different in size from the World Tree, it is still 600 million kilometers tall and has a canopy length of over 1000 million kilometers, making it an absolute behemoth in the entire universe.

At this moment, in the chaotic void, there is a group of ancient war trees transformed from the Tree of Life.

After incorporating some flesh and blood structures, as well as the special life forms of plants such as the snow vine, its combat power has been greatly enhanced.

Although activity is still slow, it serves as a much more powerful war fortress than the original Behemoth.

"The War Tree version of the Tree of Life, the third-generation unstable perfect god body, the space worm, and the Ork are enough for the early stages of the battlefield."

This lineup is enough to make all races in the universe take notice.

This will allow for an escalation of the battle between the Orcs and the Zerg swarms. As the game updates and iterates, it will also gain resources and trust from the demon race.

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

The more powerful the Ancient Tree of War appears in battle, the more attention it will receive.

Not only demons, but other races are also being courted.

In this situation, if the War Tree appears in the primordial universe, it is only necessary to give it a soul treasure to conceal it. In addition, with the World Tree's talent for controlling space and time, it is fine not to give anyone the opportunity to detect its soul.

……

"ah--"

Inside the flesh and blood chamber, Luo Feng's veins bulged all over his body, and he let out painful howls, his body twisting uncontrollably.

Unlike the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," which only requires operating a cosmological model to easily break through the genetic level.

Qin Mu's genetic modification and enhancement process was extremely painful.

Furthermore, the higher one climbs, the more painful it becomes, and the higher the demands on one's willpower become.

Luo Feng was aware of this.

All the powerful members of the human faction who have entered the Nirvana Temple know this.

Through the mother nest, Qin Mu can help them increase their gene multiplication rate, but taking shortcuts also comes at a price.

Some immortals whose willpower is not strong enough, even though they have entered the Nirvana Temple, still cannot reach the hundredfold limit due to their insufficient willpower and even with enough wealth.

Qin Mu had seen similar situations many times.

This is especially true for the descendants of cosmic rulers who are not lacking in resources!

Those immortals who fought on foreign battlefields by their own strength generally had much stronger wills.

"Luo Feng, hang in there! I told you, I can raise your life level to 1000 times, but only if your will is strong enough!"

If your willpower is insufficient, you cannot improve.

Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng inside the flesh and blood chamber and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu! It's just a little pain, I can handle it!"

Luo Feng roared.

"Using the mother nest to help you elevate your life level is a shortcut, but taking shortcuts also comes at a price."

This pain, so deep it penetrates to the bone and soul, is the price to pay!

Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng and said.

"If you really can't hold on any longer, you can tell me, and I will stop improving."

But as long as you can persevere, this pain will also be a form of training, strengthening your will.

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Luo Feng's groaning and contorted body stopped.

"The price of power? I won't give it up! Absolutely not!"

Luo Feng roared.

Having spent a thousand years on the battlefields beyond the realms and undergone numerous trials, his will is no longer as fragile as it was in the Blood Luo World.

Once, Qin Mu helped him and Hong, Thor, to increase their gene multiplier and fuse with the Blood Crystal.

As a result, Hong, with his strong will to become a Thunder God, easily became a Black Warrior. However, he failed when he tried to fuse the seventh Blood Crystal!

The reason is that his will was too weak.

Having gone through that experience, he later placed great importance on tempering his will.

"Very good, then keep at it! The longer you persist, the greater your improvement will be!"

In the process of elevating your level of life, I am also strengthening your affinity for space and the essence of metal.

The more you persist, the better the results will be.

If you can reach the pinnacle, then your affinity for the laws of space can surpass that of most special life forms in space, and your teleportation talent will be even stronger!

Even spatial containment cannot restrict you, and neither can the fundamental law of metal!

Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng, who was persevering, and encouraged him.

Can that kind of pain be lessened during the process of elevating one's level of life?

Actually it is possible.

When Qin Mu helped Teacher Yu Chen elevate his life level, under his special adjustment, the pain was much lower than for others, and the elevation was much easier.

But Qin Mu did not do the same to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng is different from Teacher Yu Chen.

Teacher Yu Chen's talent is not considered good among immortals, and he follows the path of a pharmacist.

Teacher Yu Chen doesn't need to fight; he can just focus on his research.

Luo Feng was different; although his path was much smoother because of Qin Mu's rise to power.

But he needs to fight and grow on his own.

In the near future, Luo Feng will also go to the Star Tower to receive the inheritance.

If you can't even endure this little bit of pain, then going to the Star Tower will only lead to your death!

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, I understand!"

Luo Feng roared.
