Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 425 Metamorphosis! 10081 times the Perfect Genes!

Waves of soul-tearing pain... made Luo Feng's body tremble slightly.

"It has increased by 500 times, and the pain is much weaker than I expected."

Inside the flesh and blood nest, Luo Feng was fully conscious.

In terms of pain tolerance, thousands of years ago, when Luo Feng was still very weak and entered the Blood Luo World, he felt unbearable pain when he first fused with the Blood Luo Crystal.

However, as one's level of understanding increases, one's character is constantly refined.

His tolerance for pain is also increasing.

Moreover, he has already undergone two upgrades within the Flesh and Blood Mother Nest.

"It's very easy."

Luo Feng shuddered slightly, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Mu said that it would be best to increase it to 2000 times, using the Nameless Secret Manual to enhance it."

But that's not safe; it's best to push myself to my limit!

The higher the better!

This was also a test for me.

Luo Feng thought to himself.

In the practice of spiritual cultivation, he has reached the first level: understanding one's true nature and pointing directly to one's original heart...

The first level is about foolishly and stubbornly sticking to one's original intentions. There are no techniques involved, only one move: "sticking to one's original intentions" and enduring all impacts.

It's like a rock being constantly polished by the impact of a flood.

With continuous practice, your mental state will become stronger and stronger!

By pushing himself to the limit, constantly tempering his true self, and enduring all pain, Luo Feng has honed his heart to the point where it is as clear as a diamond.

With modifications made by the mother nest, the gene multiplication rate increased by 500 times, 600 times...

Fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

While enduring the pain, Luo Feng was still able to study the "Beast God Statue" and comprehend its laws.

They even connected to the virtual universe network with great interest to meet with their families!

However, when the power increased to 1700 times, the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart finally made it impossible for Luo Feng to continue his cultivation.

"Only 1700 times?"

"Not enough! It hasn't even reached the 2000 times that Brother Mu requested!"

"This is a tremendous opportunity, a chance to elevate my life to level 10081. I absolutely must give it my all!"

Luo Feng opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Mu next to the mother nest, and while enduring the excruciating pain, quickly thought of a solution.

"I need to hone my resolve! My mental state can be improved again! But this rate of improvement isn't enough... I need to find the fastest way!"

Luo Feng pondered, and various methods for tempering his character came to mind.

In fact, enduring the pain of genetic transformation is itself a form of tempering, which will make the strong more determined.

"It's not enough. Simply enduring excruciating pain to temper one's true nature is not enough."

"I need a faster way."

"Only a heart that is utterly true, pure, and sincere can create great miracles!"

This is one of the experiences of our Chinese ancestors in cultivating their minds, and it is also something that Luo Feng has believed in greatly during his thousands of years of cultivation.

"I began to focus on studying the 'Way of the Beast God,' with a pure and unwavering heart. No matter how intense the pain, it would not affect me at all... My heart was pure and true, and I devoted myself to studying the Way of the Beast God."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

Luo Feng, who was completely absorbed in cultivation, ignored the various changes in his body and devoted himself to the study of the Path of the Beast God.

1900 times, 2000 times!

After achieving the predetermined goal, Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng, who seemed to still be immersed in cultivation, and smiled.

"Luo Feng, you've succeeded! I've successfully increased the power of your Nine Nether Sea clone by 2000 times!"

You can begin the first tribulation of your training in the Nameless Secret Scripture.

Despite Qin Mu's calls, Luo Feng remained completely still.

"Hmm? Has this entered some kind of deep level of cultivation?"

Qin Mu's face showed surprise. He was actually cultivating while simultaneously increasing his gene power?

It's worth noting that when Luo Feng first upgraded his human form, he was in excruciating pain and screamed continuously.

"Very good! Then keep improving and see where your limits are."

The gene multiplier of the Nine Nether Sea increases very rapidly after most of the swarm's energy has been invested.

Luo Feng is making progress, and Qin Mu is making progress as well.

2100 times, 2200 times...

The pain from the genetic modification was becoming increasingly terrifying, but Luo Feng himself was still researching the 'Path of the Beast God'. Unless the pain could destroy his current state, he would not realize the danger.

A pure and true heart contains nothing else.

time flies.

It has been a full 500 years since Luo Feng's genes were multiplied.

"The life level in the Nine Nether Sea has increased 3000 times; any higher and I can no longer guarantee my safety."

Qin Mu looked at Luo Feng, who was still immersed in cultivation, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Luo Feng's progress is too fast, especially since this progress is happening right under Qin Mu's nose.

Even Qin Mu couldn't help but admire it.

Although Qin Mu had already reached the limit of his enhancement of the Nine Nether Sea, he was not in a hurry to awaken Luo Feng.

This state is rare and precious, like a sudden enlightenment, and it is of great help to spiritual practice.

After temporarily halting the modification of Luo Feng, Qin Mu focused a portion of his consciousness on the research of the fourth-generation divine body.

There are shortcuts to take.

But ultimately, we still need to be down-to-earth and improve step by step.

Qin Mu was well aware of the immense upheaval the swarm would cause in the universe once he ascended to immortality, given the swarm's current size.

At that time, I will shed all my disguises and face the entire universe.

Whether it's the demon race, the insect race, the mechanical race, or the other two top races far away on the frontier, or other alliances.

We will absolutely not allow such an extraordinary genius to appear in the universe.

That commotion would let them know that this was a genius who surpassed the original ancestor, a terrifying existence that surpassed all geniuses of all ages.

The fear of being dominated by the original ancestor can drive them to utter madness.

If one's strength is insufficient to deter others, it's not impossible for the entire primordial universe to launch a siege.

to this end!

Qin Mu must accumulate sufficient strength!

This is something that a mere Nine Nether Sea clone cannot provide; only by enhancing the fourth-generation perfect divine body to 10081 times its original strength can it be achieved!

When hundreds of thousands or even millions of Hive Tyrants and Wild Giants, which possess 10081 genes, break through to the Immortal realm at the same time, Qin Mu is not afraid even when facing the Lord of the Universe, who is the master of the entire primordial universe!

There were only a little over a thousand cosmic rulers in the entire primordial universe.

After reaching the Immortal level, the Hive Tyrant, possessing perfect genes and a powerful understanding of the laws, is among the top-tier beings in the universe.

And given Qin Mu's background...

It is entirely possible to break through the immortality barrier and become a cosmic venerable one!

Just like how he once skipped the Domain Lord stage and went directly from the Universe level to the World Lord level.

Although it has broken through to the level of the Universe Venerable, the Primal Universe will not transform all the divine bodies of the insect swarm as it did when it was immortal. Instead, it will select the one with the largest divine body from all the clones.

It doesn't matter.

Upon breaking through to immortality, one's strength increases a hundredfold.

Upon breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, his strength increased a hundredfold once again.

Even though he has broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable, his divine body has not yet completed its transformation. However, he can combine his power through the Legion Flow Armor. Even if he is the Lord of the Universe, Qin Mu is confident that he can fight against him!

"It will be soon! Before long, the Zerg swarm will be able to openly appear in the universe."

The consciousness sensed a monster in the outer battlefield, composed of legion-like creatures resembling lions and tigers, but with deer-like antlers on its head, roaring towards the sky.

Opposite it stood an incredibly massive Legion-type tree, Qin Mu murmured to himself.

That's a new Legion-type bio-armor that has appeared in the Zerg swarm over the past five hundred years—the Kirin!

Opposite it is the War Tree, the first plant-type legion created by consuming demon resources—the Jianmu!

Time flies, and another three hundred years have passed.

Luo Feng, who had been deeply immersed in cultivation, finally opened his eyes for the first time.

"Has the transformation of this power already ended?"

Sensing the surging power within his body without feeling any pain, Luo Feng asked.

"It's over. I've already increased your Nine Nether Blood Sea clone by 3000 times. If I increase it any further in a short time, there's a risk of genetic collapse."

There's no need for further improvement.

Qin Mu, who had just come to his senses from the research on the fourth-generation perfect divine body, saw that Luo Feng had already woken up and his eyes lit up.

"Having cultivated at a deep level for eight hundred years, it seems you've gained quite a bit this time."

Qin Mu smiled.

"There have been some gains. The 'Beast God's Artifact' alone is estimated to be comparable to the 20th floor of the Sky Bridge."

Luo Feng said happily.

"The twentieth level of the Sky Bridge? Congratulations."

Qin Mu smiled slightly; he hadn't been to the Tongtian Bridge in a long time.

He hadn't even visited or contemplated the Cosmic Chaos Monument for a long time.

With his current level of understanding as a cosmic sage, there is absolutely no point in him trying to cross the Heavenly Bridge again.

What he wants to do now is to skip the Immortal level and become a Universe Venerable directly!

"Next, it's time to cultivate the Nameless Secret Manual and increase my gene multiplier! Break through to 10081 times in one fell swoop!"

Qin Mu said.

"Yes! I understand."

Luo Feng also stopped smiling and began to circulate the first tribulation of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

Whether Qin Mu's plan will succeed depends on this.

……

"Success! The gene count is increasing!"

Sensing the changes in his body as the cosmological model operated, Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly.

This transformation was incredibly fast, far faster and more perfect than Qin Mu's transformation.

4000 times, 5000 times...

In just a hundred years, after the first tribulation was completed, Luo Feng's Nine Nether Sea clone's life level actually reached 9000 times!

"A life gene level 9000 times higher!"

Luo Fengyouhai's clone sat cross-legged, his eyes shining like stars.

As the flesh and blood pierced through his body, every subtle change in his body was reflected back to the mother nest.

"Continue, the second tribulation!!!"

Luo Feng's Youhai clone spoke softly, his voice filled with endless anticipation.

Qin Mu's expression also became excited.

……

"It has already surpassed 9000!"

Luo Feng focused 99% of his consciousness on his Nether Sea clone, daring not to be careless in the slightest.

Moreover, he also sensed that... once the life gene level broke through 9000, the evolution speed slowed down significantly, as if trapped in a shackle, with each step forward consuming more time.

9500...9600...

10000!

Although the genetic level of life is difficult, we have steadily taken this step.

"My life's genetic level has reached 10000 times!"

Brother Mu is right, I feel we haven't reached our limit yet!

Luo Feng suppressed his excitement and continued his cultivation.

After breaking through 10000, it becomes even more difficult to improve the level of life's genes, and the improvement becomes very subtle.

for a long time……

Luo Feng's overall life gene level enhancement has completely stopped.

At this moment... every inch of Youhai's skin, every muscle and bone, seemed to be the most perfect work of art in the universe!

The life gene has reached a state of perfection. Even if the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is incredibly powerful, it cannot improve upon a life gene that is already perfect.

"Success! 10081 times the perfect genes!"

Qin Mu roared excitedly.

By piercing into Luo Feng's flesh and tendrils, Qin Mu could even see the composition of every single cell in his body.

Whether viewed from a macro or micro perspective, at any level, the body of the Netherworld clone is flawless.

Within the mother nest, a perfect diagram of the life structure of the Nine Nether Blood Sea was also completely completed at this moment.

"Crackling sounds, crackling sounds~~~"

Inside the flesh cavity, Luo Feng's Nether Sea clone began to frantically devour energy, while its height and size continued to increase.

The entire Dark Sea clone was surging and absorbing the power of the world.

The Nine Netherworld clone, which was originally only 10,000 kilometers tall, began to undergo a frenzied transformation.

2 km high, 3 km high, 4 km high...

It keeps going.

for a long time--

When the entire body reached a height of over 90,000 kilometers, the Netherworld clone finally stopped growing.

Just as the Dark Sea clone stopped growing and reached a height of over 90,000 kilometers...

"boom!"

Luo Feng's expression of surprise suddenly froze, as if he had lost consciousness.

"Is this because my life level has broken through 10081 times, my consciousness has been guided by the primordial cosmic will, and I have been granted the most powerful secret technique?"

Qin Mu looked at the unconscious Luo Feng and chuckled softly.

"Then, the Nine Nether Seas within the insect swarm can also begin their transformation!"

The next moment, in places like the Chaos Void, the Tyran Secret Realm, and the Purgatory Abyss, hundreds of waves surged on the calm surface of the Nine Nether Seas within the insect swarm.
