Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 414 Seeking the Forest Master! The War Between Fungal Creep and Spore Forest

"For evolution!"

Behind the Zerg swarm, aboard a Leviathan, the scarred Hive Tyrant roared, gathering all its power into the Leviathan.

The tentacles on Leviathan's head lit up and began to gather power, while the millions of Zerg around it began to unleash a combined attack.

Almost simultaneously, more than a dozen tyrants on the battlefield made the same move.

As fellow members of the Zerg, they were acutely aware of the Ancient of War's power.

During the battle, they not only did not hold back at all, but also unleashed their most powerful strength immediately.

As the Hive Tyrant said, it's all for evolution!

In the midst of fierce battles, the unstable genes of the swarm are always at risk of evolving and mutating.

Whether it's a battle within the Zerg swarm or a battle on the outside!

In an instant, more than a dozen beams of light, each more than ten kilometers in diameter, converged and attacked from the combined force of millions of Zerg swarms, forming a dazzling beam within the Zerg swarm.

wow——

The beam of light, formed by the combined attack of millions, swept across the battlefield, instantly vaporizing and disappearing wherever it passed, whether it was Ork or Mechanical puppets or Zerg warriors.

The terrifying energy attack collided with the outer edge of the spacetime controlled by the ancient tree of war.

Almost simultaneously, countless secret runes lit up on the body of the ancient war tree.

The vines entwined around its trunk unleashed a powerful force, condensing into a thick energy shield within the domain of spacetime it controlled.

These vines, resembling wooden dragons, that parasitize the ancient war trees are not mere decorations. They are transformed from the life force of more than ten kinds of plants, based on the snow vine, which has a life level more than a thousand times higher.

It is extremely powerful in both attack and defense.

The ancient war tree has a massive body with hundreds of millions of vines wrapped around it!

At this moment, under the combined force of the Zerg network, an energy defense mechanism similar to the Legion's bio-armor was unleashed.

That's not all; emerald green shields made of bark flew out from the body of the ancient war tree and merged into the spacetime domain controlled by the ancient war tree.

The ultimate treasure – the Shield of the World!

These bark-like shields were given to Qin Mu by the strongest World Tree when he transformed into a Titan and went there.

In the inheritance space, the War Tree is obtained through exchange.

At this moment, the War Tree, which had evolved from the World Tree, was unleashed, instantly enhancing its control over the space-time domain and bringing its defense to its peak.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than a dozen terrifying forces capable of killing a cosmic venerable exploded within the controlled spacetime domain, and the horrific impact invaded the controlled spacetime domain.

However, the War Tree's body was too enormous. After being enhanced by the World Tree's genes, it was far more powerful in controlling space and time than the original Tree of Life.

After being weakened and resisted by many forces, the dozen or so energy impacts gradually subsided under the power of Pompey's spacetime. When this energy pierced through tens of millions of kilometers, it completely disappeared.

This was of no consequence to the War Tree's control over spacetime, which spanned over 60 million kilometers; it was like a gentle breeze that didn't even cause its branches and leaves to tremble.

"WAAAGH!"

Five ancient giants, nearly 30,000 kilometers tall, roared, and amidst their roars, tens of millions of Orcs erupted in unison.

Almost the same combined energy, centered on the Great Giant, exploded with emerald light on the body of a Leviathan.

Hit by the combined energy of five attacks, this colossal creature, nearly ten thousand kilometers long, exploded even with the immediate defensive measures of the Insectoid Tyrant. It shattered into pieces and retreated to the rear of the battlefield with a mournful cry.

"This! This ancient war tree actually withstood a combined attack from over a dozen attacks capable of severely injuring a Universe Venerable! How is this possible?"

As the Black Emperor watched the five ancient giants unleash their combined attack on the battlefield, roaring as they charged into the fray and slaughtered everyone, his eyes twitched involuntarily.

If I remember correctly, this War Tree is not only a World Lord level entity, but it is also just a sub-entity of the true War Tree!

What would happen if the real War Tree appeared?

We are all special life forms, is there really such a big difference between us?

This ancient tree of war is definitely like the World Tree, a top-tier and unique life form in the universe; otherwise, it couldn't be so powerful!

"Is it powerful?"

Qin Mu remained noncommittal.

"Being able to defend against the combined power of more than a dozen Universe Venerable level attacks seems easy, but it is actually the result of triple weakening."

Once the War Tree takes root, it cannot move. If it cannot withstand this level of combined attack, wouldn't it become a sitting duck on the battlefield?

Qin Mu didn't explain much. If the Leviathan was a biological warship in the Zerg swarm, then the Ancient of War was a giant fortress!

The Ancient Tree of War is positioned at the same level as Behemoth.

Moreover, in terms of positional warfare, it is far more powerful than Behemoth.

The ancient tree of war before us, though outwardly described as a offspring of the ancient tree of war, is actually a modified version of the Tree of Life, with genes from the World Tree implanted into it, making it an extremely high level of life.

With the addition of countless vines on its body, it is also a single tree forming an army.

He was much stronger than Behemoth when he entered the extraterritorial battlefield.

"If the Ancient of War can't be made stronger, how will the new Leviathan and Behemoth be introduced in later versions?"

Qin Mu thought to himself.

With the acquisition of numerous unique life forms within the inheritance space and continuous breakthroughs in genetic technology, the second-generation Super Leviathan, developed based on the Phantom Whale model, is nearing completion.

Behemoth has also made a leap forward, with its diameter exceeding one million kilometers, and it is still expanding.

Behemoth is different from the Ancient Tree of War; it is a true living being of flesh and blood!

"That's true. The War Tree is different from the Leviathan. The Leviathan is extremely flexible, while the War Tree can only serve as a fixed base, like the Machine Race's Star Fortress."

The King of the Universe, whose face was filled with excitement and ecstasy, also calmed down.

The ancient war tree is only one tree; once it is fixed in place, it can only exert its deterrent effect on one battlefield at most.

Their contribution to the overall battlefield outside the region is far less than that of units like Behemoth and Leviathan, which can move quickly and provide support.

"I knew how powerful these Leviathans were before I came to the extraterrestrial battlefield."

For them, my Orc army has a better option!

Qin Mu chuckled softly.

"A better choice? The Great Giant?"

They are indeed more suitable; they are equally enormous, agile, and capable of unleashing combined attacks!

The King of the Universe nodded in approval.

"A giant of the wilderness? Not at all."

Qin Mu shook his head. As a third-generation perfect divine body, the Cangmang Giant's opponent was the already stable second-generation perfect divine body, the Zergling Tyrant!

With the enhancement of advanced bio-armor, the Hive Tyrant is no weaker than the still unstable third-generation perfect divine body.

"They're almost fully hatched, come out! Lord Seeking Wood!"

Qin Mu stopped keeping him in suspense.

Beneath the canopy of the ancient war tree, which spans tens of millions of kilometers in diameter, the three largest fruits, each exceeding one hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, are riddled with cracks.

"Click—"

The fruit fell and hovered in mid-air.

Two arms, each over 100,000 kilometers long and covered with branches, emerged from the fruit and then forcefully tore apart the thick peel.

Life, curled up inside the fruit, bursts forth and stands up.

This was actually a giant tree-man that was over 300,000 kilometers tall and looked remarkably like a human!

Yes, he is different from the Orcs only in that he has green skin; he is a true tree-man.

It has a tree canopy on its head, and its trunk forks below, transforming into two giant legs that reach the sky.

Rumbling--

The giant tree-man, whom Qin Mu called the Lord of Xunmu Forest, suddenly landed on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Two colossal legs, reaching for the sky, moved across the earth at a seemingly slow, yet extremely exaggerated speed.

Its massive body can traverse hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a single stride.

What's even more remarkable is that as it moves, countless spores fall from its body, eventually growing into a dense forest.

Wherever they went, the land that had been reduced to ruins by war instantly became lush and vibrant with life.

All the broken corpses and even the remains of mechanical puppets in the jungle were absorbed by the trees and turned into nutrients for growth.

In just a short time, these trees grew to a height of a kilometer.

Some of the miniature ancient war trees, which had become exceptionally lush from absorbing battlefield debris, even produced enormous fruits, from which Orcs, some tens of meters tall, were nurtured!

"WAAAGH!"

"WAAAGH!"

The Orcs roared as they followed the Forest Lord's lead, charging toward the center of the battlefield.

Some miniature ancient war trees, lacking sufficient nutrients and surrounded by overly lush trees, seemed to come alive. Their trunks twisted and turned into two thick legs, and they began to move.

Some of these miniature ancient war trees moved to the side of corpses and remains, transforming back into ancient trees to draw nourishment.

Some, however, shouted "WAAAGH!" as they stepped into the battlefield alongside the Forest Lord.

In an instant, an army appeared behind the Forest Lord of Seeking Wood, accompanied by a deafening roar.

All living beings who witnessed this scene were stunned.

At this moment, some people turned their attention to the place where the giant and the thunder beast had first fought.

Among the remains of the Thunder Beast's corpse, the jungle that was originally tens of thousands of kilometers long had grown to a thousand meters tall, and a large number of Orcs had hatched.

"WAAAGH!"

The entire battlefield was filled with the howls of the Ork.

As the three-headed Forest Lord of Seeking Wood strode into the edge of the battlefield, spores began to fall from the ground that had been covered by fungal carpet.

When these spores fall to the ground, they begin to take root and sprout, transforming into miniature ancient war trees.

A terrifying thing happened: fleshy vines sprouted from the fungal carpet covering the earth, attempting to strangle these miniature ancient war trees.

These miniature ancient war trees were equally determined, waving their branches and wrestling with the fleshy vines.

Underground, the roots of these miniature ancient war trees grow wildly, intertwining with the roots of the fungal carpet, trying to kill each other and steal more nutrients.

The earth churned.

Before the Forest Lord even stepped onto the battlefield, an unusual war had already begun between the purple fungal carpet and the green spore forest.
