Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 486 Cultivation with the Zerg Queen

Time flies when you're at the Queen's Palace.

Every day, he either studies the captured Starry Sky Beast Alliance Universe Lords with the Empress, or studies the Eight Natural Beast Gods, or conducts experiments using the captured Universe Lords of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Or perhaps the Empress discussed and explored the 64 secret patterns.

Of course, while the exchange and discussion on the secret pattern diagram were supposed to be about communication and exploration, it was mainly Qin Mu who was giving the Empress guidance.

To become the strongest being in the universe without any lineage or inheritance speaks volumes about one's talent and potential.

However, the 64 runes are indeed extremely complex, and even the Zerg Queen could not understand them quickly.

To speed up the process, the Zerg Queen simply moved the Queen's Palace back to her own universe.

As the strongest being in the universe with his own microcosm, he can control the flow of space within his own microcosm, and his progress is naturally rapid.

Since Qin Mu had already entered the Empress's palace, he naturally didn't mind going to the Empress's private universe.

With the help of time acceleration, the research progress can be greatly improved.

After the Zerg Queen finally became familiar with the 64 rune diagrams under Qin Mu's guidance, she directly learned the innate secret technique "Creation" through forced memorization under Qin Mu's guidance!

In the primordial universe, all top-tier talents are based on the arrangement and combination of 64 rune diagrams, and the talent technique 'Creation' is no exception.

"This secret rune pattern school is indeed amazing. As long as you use complex arrangements and combinations, you can master extremely powerful talent secret techniques."

When she used her innate secret technique 'Creation' and was able to see the life structure within each of the star beasts more clearly, the Queen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"That's right! This is the wonder of the universe. Once you delve into its essence, you will find that all the amazing phenomena have clues to follow."

Once you grasp its essence, you can naturally apply it.

Qin Mu smiled.

"How many kinds of innate techniques similar to 'creation' have you mastered?"

The Zerg Queen asked with some curiosity.

"There are over 100,000 kinds collected through the inheritance space. However, once you master the basic principles of the secret runes, ordinary talent becomes meaningless, and you can create whatever you want."

My current mastery of the Mystic Rune style is at the level of the ultimate secret arts of the Lord of the Universe.

"The ability to create the most powerful secret technique was due to a sudden insight gained while contemplating the universe within my palm, and a stroke of good luck."

Qin Mu explained.

For him now, simply talking about how many talents he has mastered is not very meaningful.

"I see."

The Zerg Queen seemed lost in thought.

"The main function of the Secret Pattern School is not to create a lot of secret techniques, but to analyze the essence of all things in the world from another perspective."

The secret patterns are like individual components.

The universe is like a skyscraper.

In this way, along with normal intuitive understanding of the laws, you can gain a clearer insight into the mysteries of the universe, which should greatly help improve your strength.

Qin Mu looked at the Empress, who was deep in thought, and said.

When Qin Mu passed on the Mystic Rune system to the Zerg Queen, he also uploaded it to the virtual universe and taught it to high-ranking humans such as the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord.

Unfortunately, the founder of the Great Axe was skilled in axes and not adept at the path of rune patterns.

On the contrary, the Lord of Chaos and other cosmic lords had a more profound understanding.

Of course, Qin Mu knew that the one who was truly skilled was the Primal Ancestor!

Having the entire virtual universe as a computing platform, deducing the rune diagrams is very easy. However, Qin Mu is not sure whether this rune diagram system will still be effective for the Primordial Ancestor, who has already reached the pinnacle in all aspects.

"This set of secret rune patterns has an auxiliary effect on improving one's life level."

The same applies to other aspects. I intend to use this system to develop a set of combat equipment suitable for high-level Zerg swarms, or rather, to create a combat method unique to Zerg swarms.

Countless divine powers flew out from Qin Mu's hands, continuously outlining in the void to form secret patterns, which were constructed together in an extremely profound way.

The primordial sea before him churned and rolled, from which flew a set of ferocious armor covered in scales.

Then, the countless secret runes flew toward the ferocious armor and merged perfectly together.

"This is the colony system I created, unique to the Zerg swarm."

Qin Mu unleashed a burst of divine power, striking the ferocious armor.

boom!

When this power, enough to easily kill a cosmic lord, struck the armor, the ferocious armor automatically activated a shield to block the attack.

"This set of bio-armor is comparable to top-tier treasures, and it's perfectly capable of serving as armor for the mid-level combat force of the insect swarm."

However, it was far from enough for a Zergling Tyrant, whose strength had reached the level of a cosmic ruler.

The bio-armor system needs a complete overhaul.

Qin Mu's eyes flickered.

Let alone top-tier treasures, even ordinary supreme treasure armor is insufficient for the Insect Hive Tyrant.

Supreme Armor

From ordinary treasures, high-grade treasures, top-grade treasures, to peak treasures, they are generally weakened to one ten-thousandth, only the limits of their tolerance are different.

Only some of the most superior and rarest treasures among the pinnacle can be weakened to one ten-thousandth.

Ordinary treasures are enough to cause cosmic venerables to fight over them, but the Lord of the Universe doesn't care at all.

Even ordinary treasure armor can reduce physical attacks to one ten-thousandth of their original value.

However, once the limit is exceeded, the armor's weakening ability will drop drastically, and may only be weakened to one-thousandth, one-hundredth, one-tenth... or even shatter with a bang.

The power of the Lord of the Universe can easily tear apart ordinary treasures.

It can even destroy some powerful cosmic overlords.

This is why ordinary treasures are completely disregarded by the lords of the universe.

Without a suitable ultimate treasure, the strength of the Hive Tyrant would be greatly weakened.

A suitable treasure.

It is enough to make one's strength increase dramatically, even to the point of killing enemies of a higher level.

For example, the founder of the giant axe later obtained a supreme and powerful divine axe, which enabled him to leap from the eighth-order true god to the ninth-order.

Or perhaps it was Luo Feng who obtained the most powerful treasure—no, it should be called the God-King weapon, the Star Tower—which even all the powerful beings in the entire primordial universe and even the cosmic sea could not shake in the slightest.

After the great war, Qin Mu returned most of the clan's most precious treasures.

The entire swarm had few decent treasures, resulting in a significant drop in overall strength.

There's nothing we can do about it, after all, the race is in the process of development, with tens of thousands of Universe Venerables alone, and the number is still growing.

If the treasure trove of a people is empty, how can we nurture that people?

"Treasure level? That's a bit lacking. To arm the Zergling Tyrant with the combat power of a universe master, it would need at least a high-grade treasure."

Even ordinary treasures are not enough.

"But you have far too many Hive Tyrants; those few Arcane Treasures are far from enough."

The Zerg Queen also frowned.

What makes her capable of traversing the universe?

It was thanks to the Queen's Palace!

As a supreme treasure of the palace type, it can come and go freely even in dangerous places in the Cosmic Sea, such as the three forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea.

"Upgrading your bio-armor to the level of a high-grade treasure is no easy feat."

My Zerg race is not good at crafting treasures.

Among the human race, only Engineer Peng is skilled at crafting treasures, right?

But he can only refine ordinary treasures; it's difficult for him to refine high-level treasures.

Relying on him is probably not a good idea.

Moreover, refining supreme treasures requires a massive amount of resources, so resources should be cherished.

This is not something you can cultivate directly using your Primal Sea God Body.

In the entire primordial universe, the most skilled craftsman was the God of Crafts, who was capable of crafting top-tier treasures.

If you could obtain the inheritance of crafting supreme treasures from him and combine it with your armor, you might be able to upgrade your armor to the level of a high-grade supreme treasure.

The Empress also began to ponder.

Arming a million or even more Hive Tyrants is unrealistic if you rely on the clan's treasury; you have to find a way yourself.

Even if one cannot refine the top-tier ones, one should at least reach the level suitable for a general universe master.

Relying solely on a powerful divine body and secret techniques would be a huge waste of the Hive Tyrant's strength.

"The master of craftsmen? I have the same idea; I really need to go see him."

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

As the strongest weapon refiner in the original universe besides the Mountain Guest, and also a special life form mountain giant, he was naturally very clear about this.

Within the space of inheritance, there is an immortal mountain giant from the planet Craftsman God.

Once, when he transformed into a Titan, the Lord of Crafts had invited him.

As the most renowned weapon refiner in the universe, the God of Crafts does not belong to any faction.

Humanity has tried to win him over, the Ancestral God Cult has tried to win him over, and other super powers in the universe have tried to win him over... but to this day, the Craftsman God has not joined any of these powers.

Firstly, he himself is extremely powerful and possesses many treasures, making it extremely difficult to kill him.

Secondly, because he is skilled at crafting supreme treasures, he has befriended many extraordinary beings, so no one dares to use harsh methods against him.

But that's in the past.

Now, humanity has united the Zerg and, with the support of Qin Mu's Zerg swarm, defeated the anti-human alliance, making them the absolute overlords of the primordial universe.

Does the master craftsman still want to maintain his transcendent status?

That's probably impossible.

"Let's go later. In the meantime, I'll study the existing methods of crafting supreme treasures within the clan and become familiar with the conventional methods of crafting supreme treasures before I go."

Although the crafting of supreme treasures also involves the use of runes, it differs from the use of innate runes.

This is an extremely complex and vast system.

To achieve a comprehensive understanding and create equipment suitable for the Hive Tyrant based on bio-armor is not an easy task.

"I had absolutely no foundation, and even obtaining the inheritance of the God of Craftsmen didn't help."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and then said.

The art of weapon crafting is no trivial matter.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest became a God-King through this weapon-forging technique!

And the person he most wanted to find was, of course, the Mountain Hermit!

If we can obtain the weapon-refining inheritance from the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the possibility of creating exclusive equipment for the insect swarm will greatly increase.

Qin Mu has mastered the most basic 64 secret rune diagrams and is quite proficient in them, so refining treasures should be easier for him than for others.

When crafting a supreme treasure, the secret pattern diagram is of paramount importance!

Why is Luo Feng's Star Tower so powerful?

Far surpassing ordinary supreme treasures?

Aside from the tower's nine-light-year-high structure, forged with countless treasures, the secret patterns inside the tower are the key!

As far as he knew, the Star Tower's secret patterns were divided into nine layers, each with three layers of secret techniques, for a total of twenty-seven layers of secret techniques.

The first and second levels can be activated before reaching the True God level.

Only at the third or fourth level can a true god level activate it.

And so on, until the final level, the ninth level, where the God-King level can activate it!

The fact that the Mountain Hermit was able to forge such a powerful treasure speaks volumes about his skill in weapon crafting.

As for how to obtain the inheritance from the mountain dweller?

Although I killed Yan Di, I offended him.

This was not difficult for Qin Mu, who knew the secret of the Mountain Hermit!

It's impossible to teach a guest from the mountain step by step.

"Should we first familiarize ourselves with and master the methods of weapon crafting?"

My clan also has some methods for refining weapons; I'll give them to you along with them.

With your talent, the sheer size of the insect swarm, the human race's collection, and Peng Gong's guidance, you have a good chance of crafting even ordinary treasures, let alone high-grade treasures.

As for finding the God of Craftsmen later, I'll go with you then.

If he's sensible, that's fine; otherwise, we'd just suppress him directly.

The Zerg Queen said naturally.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Qin Mu looked at the Zerg Queen and smiled.
