Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 521 The Swarm's Ambition to Devour the Three Deadly Zones of the Cosmic Sea

The sound of tearing apart swarms of insects and devouring fragments of the continent could be heard.

The Ripping Worm, at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, devoured continental fragments at an extremely fast speed, almost instantly consuming a fragment with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers.

Under the Queen's gaze, she clearly saw that one of the tearing worms, which had devoured a portion of the continent's fragments, had grown even larger, and the carapace on its back seemed to have become even harder.

"Is this the body-refining and strengthening method you and the God of Crafts researched?"

The Empress tilted her head slightly to look at Qin Mu, asking curiously.

Unlike Qin Mu, who could be in multiple places at once, she had limited energy and couldn't attend to everything.

I only know the general outline of the body-refining method that Qin Mu is researching.

"Well, so far we've only made some initial progress."

The tearing worm is adept at devouring various substances, digesting and storing them.

Within its body is an organ specifically designed for digestion and storage.

That organ is like a living furnace, extracting the essence from the continental fragments it devours.

Then, through a special arrangement and combination, those essences would make their bodies even harder, like precious treasures.

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

When they were researching with the God of Crafts, in order to make the experiments faster and better, they directly fed the materials, or even the most precious and rare treasures!

But that's too extravagant.

This method is the most suitable for the insect swarm at this time.

"It seems to be working quite well. If simply consuming some continental fragments can have a strengthening effect, then there are plenty of these broken microcosms in the universe."

In desolate places like Qingfeng Mountain, meteorite fragments are everywhere.

The Empress nodded slightly.

Qin Mu's swarm is too large to be armed and strengthened in the traditional way; a path suitable for the swarm itself is necessary.

Not only Qin Mu's insect swarm, but also the Queen Mother's Nest after being enhanced by Qin Mu, is the same.

"It's not that simple. The effect of swallowing it is actually very low, and at this stage it can only strengthen its shell and bones to a certain extent."

The effect of this construction is not very good, and it falls far short of the expected comprehensive enhancement of all tissues in the body, such as muscles and blood.

However, you are right. The cosmic ocean is full of broken microcosms, and there are countless fragments of such broken continents.

The insect swarm is not picky about food; it will eat anything!

Lower efficiency means lower cost.

Once the swarm is stronger, we'll go directly to the Peak Realm, the Flowing Mountains, and even the Spaceship to devour them!

Especially the spaceship; even a single fragment of that ship is incredibly hard, making it the perfect source of nourishment.

Although Qin Mu said it, he was actually quite satisfied.

Although the efficiency is still very low at this stage and the defensive effect is not very strong, the significance of this research is extremely great.

This proves that Qin Mu's direction was correct.

As long as you keep strengthening it, one day you will be able to reach the level of a supreme treasure, or even a higher level.

"You want the swarm to devour the Peak Realm, the Flowing Mountains, and even the Spaceship?"

The Empress's mouth gaped slightly, seemingly taken aback by Qin Mu's idea.

What an outrageous idea!

These are three of the most dangerous places in the cosmic sea!

Once you venture deep into these three perilous places, even the strongest beings in the universe risk perishing!

The other powerful individuals were all thinking about how to adventure in the three forbidden zones and obtain opportunities.

But Qin Mu actually wanted the swarm to directly devour the three forbidden zones themselves?

Are they going to take the whole pot and serve it all at once?

However, upon closer examination, the two forbidden zones of Qingfeng Realm and Liuzhong Mountain are composed of rocks. If the insect swarms were to devour them recklessly, they might actually be able to eat them clean!

For example, the Inclined Peak is a majestic mountain that is about 9802 million light-years high and has a maximum diameter of 1226 million light-years when its peak is cut off.

Outside the peak boundary, countless fragments of rock, measured in light-years, orbit the mountain at several times the speed of light.

The rocks closer to the main peak fly slowly, while those farther away fly fast, and the relative distance between the countless pebbles remains constant.

The environments there are extremely harsh and dangerous, while the outer areas are better.

Even the strongest beings in the universe could perish at the core of the mountain.

However, if the swarm starts devouring from the outside and gradually pushes inward, there is still hope.

"The Inclined Peak Realm and Flowing Heavy Mountain are alright, but the Spaceship swarm probably won't be able to take it down, right?"

The Empress pondered that even with her full-force attacks, the spaceship could not be damaged.

Although the swarm of insects was numerous, it was virtually impossible for them to bite through this treasure left over from countless reincarnations.

Throughout countless cycles of reincarnation, countless strongest beings in the universe have been born, and countless people have attempted to attack the spaceship.

However, the result was that the spaceship remained standing and even continued to operate.

Not only the spaceship, but even the high-speed debris surrounding it, no one can take away a single piece!

It was as if those fragments and the spaceship were one entity.

The only way to obtain opportunities within the spaceship is through various tokens.

But if you think about it, how powerful would the swarm be if it could actually gnaw through the spaceship and integrate its materials into its own body?

Wouldn't all the treasures in those countless cabins inside the spaceship belong to the swarm?

"Of course we can't chew it now, but just because we can't now doesn't mean we can't in the future."

"When the swarm has fully evolved and is able to gather millions of universe masters, a combined attack might be enough to shatter it."

Qin Mu said with a smile.

As a treasure that floated over from the Origin Continent, the Spaceship was not truly damaged even by the impact of the later God King's corpse.

It is highly likely to be a mechanical treasure of the Chaos Realm.

It's normal that the insect swarm can't chew it up now.

However, the spaceship was already damaged and covered with countless cracks.

If the swarm launches a coordinated attack at some broken points, there is still a chance to destroy it.

The combined attack of millions of universe lords would certainly exceed the tenth rank, reaching the level of a Void True God or even an Eternal True God.

Even if things don't go well, once he becomes a true god, or even an eternal true god, surely the swarm of insects won't be able to break through the spaceship?

With the three forbidden zones of the Cosmic Sea as a foundation, we will have some confidence to go to the Origin Continent when we become stronger in the future.

Of course, these are far too far from Qin Mu's level, which hasn't even reached the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

But you have to have some ideas, right?

What if it works?

The idea of ​​a swarm of insects devouring a broken microcosm was actually inspired by a spaceship.

Why is the spaceship able to continue operating through countless cycles of time?

Besides constantly devouring chaotic energy, it can also directly devour small universes!

The spaceship can eat, but the swarm can't?

Let alone the spaceship, he even had designs on the corpse of the God-King Zuo Shan Ke.

"Let these swarms of insects breed here. We'll go study the Primordial Sea's devouring of chaotic energy first."

Qin Mu glanced at the swarm of insects that were constantly devouring them, and then addressed the Empress.

Although he had many ideas, Qin Mu knew very well that those were things for the future.

There aren't many Zerg units at the Universe Master level right now; they struggle to even devour a broken microcosm, let alone the three Jedi.

"Okay, let's go back first."

The Empress nodded as she watched the swarm of insects spreading within the microcosm.

Qin Mu surveyed the shattered microcosm, pondered for a moment, and then released a Tyrant of the Insect Nest adorned with top-tier treasures to guard it.

He doesn't have many top-tier treasures, but he does have quite a few top-tier treasures.

With a set of top-tier treasures and the strongest secret techniques, the Hive Tyrant's strength reaching the level of a fourth-tier Universe Lord would not be a problem.

The fragmented microcosms in the cosmic sea, especially those fragmented microcosms from countless reincarnation eras ago, have been plundered countless times, and anything of value within them has long been taken away.

The cosmic lords who enter the cosmic sea don't even look at it, and unless they are newcomers, no one usually goes in.

With a Hive Tyrant whose strength has reached the fourth-tier Universe Lord level, the swarm of insects can still reproduce safely here.

A fragmented microcosm with a diameter of 100 million light-years is enough for an insect swarm to devour for a long time.

Seeing that everything was arranged, the Empress took Qin Mu's arm and teleported away.

……

Upon returning to the Empress's cosmos, the two began their research on the Primordial Sea's absorption of chaotic energy.

Within the cosmic ocean, very few things can directly devour chaotic energy. Only small universes and spaceships can absorb chaotic energy and transform it into the primordial energy of the universe.

The rest, including marine life in space, require various conversion methods.

These life forms are very special. Some have special organs, some have strange patterns on their bodies, and their transformation methods are also very diverse.

During his research, Qin Mu quickly discovered that the most efficient part was still the thin film of the Queen's microcosm.

With the Queen's cooperation, coupled with the Primordial Sea's massive size and the insect swarm's various resources, Qin Mu felt it was entirely possible to simulate a similar membrane covering the Primordial Sea.

We don't need to reach the absorption speed of the microcosm; lower efficiency is acceptable.

Having determined their approach, the two quickly began their research.

Above the primordial sea, the waters churn and roll, with aquatic creatures and other cosmic marine life rising and falling within them.

Time flies like an arrow; a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Around the primordial sea, a membrane tens of thousands of kilometers thick, resembling a fine honeycomb structure, appeared at some unknown time, covering the entire microcosm.

"The 15964348th experiment: attempting to devour the chaotic energy flow!"

Qin Mu's emotionless voice emanated from within the Primordial Sea.

Above the Primordial Sea, the chilling light emanating from the suspended Frost Moon Pearl faded in one area, and endless chaotic energy surged in, coming into contact with the outer membrane of the Primordial Sea.

"Sizzle—"

Streams of air flowed into the honeycomb structure spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, and then continuously transformed within it.

Although during the transformation process, chaotic airflow continuously dissipates, and honeycomb structures are destroyed under the pressure of chaotic airflow.

However, after these chaotic currents passed through the fetal membranes spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, some of them eventually transformed into the purest energy and were swallowed and absorbed by the primordial sea.

"It's done! The Primordial Sea can now grow within the Cosmic Sea."
