Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 523 Arresting the Prison King

A gaping abyss opened up beneath the Queen's Palace, and surging seawater poured into the waters below.

Above the peak, there is a huge waterfall cascading down. The water formed by the waterfall's impact spreads and surrounds the entire main mountain, with a range of hundreds of millions of light-years.

Such a vast body of water, fraught with danger, is a place where even the Lord of the Universe would not dare to teleport and must fly forward with utmost care. Placing a primordial sea with a diameter of 2 million kilometers would certainly not be a problem.

The primordial sea collides with the endless waters, creating towering waves.

Even immortal gods would be instantly annihilated if they entered the cosmic sea.

The fact that this endless body of water can exist clearly indicates that this 'water' is extraordinary. Each drop of water is like a star, and when the waves surge, the impact is terrifying.

However, the outer edge of the Primordial Sea is covered by a membrane that Qin Mu and the Empress painstakingly researched, which blocks the impact of the water.

The primordial sea, being home to marine life, quickly integrated into the waters, appearing from a distance indistinguishable from the surrounding waters.

Countless chaotic currents surged into the amniotic sac, and even water from the water bodies flowed into it, transforming into nutrients for the growth of the primordial sea.

This water is not ordinary water.

If a master craftsman collects them, they can be used to forge powerful treasures.

For the insect swarm, the soil in the cosmic ocean is a resource, and so is the water in this water area!

"This place is very remote, located on the outer edge of the water. The water pressure is not high, and few cosmic lords come here, so it is relatively safe to place it here."

The Lord of Chaos City was in high spirits as he looked at the primordial sea that had merged with the water.

Since Qin Mu wanted to place the Primordial Sea, he naturally had to come and take a look.

This place will become the future base camp for the human race in the Peak Realm.

"Hmm, this location is good, very suitable for the current stage of the primordial sea."

The waters are fraught with danger, but also full of treasures, attracting many explorers. However, these treasures are almost all located deep within the waters.

The pressure of the outer waters could crush even immortal gods; but if the pressure reached deep within the water, it would be so terrifying that even a cosmic sovereign would be instantly reduced to dust.

The Empress also spoke to Qin Mu.

"Yes, I know. We can explore the treasures in these waters later."

I'll first let the Primordial Sea spawn some Venerable-level Zerg to explore the surrounding area and familiarize themselves with the environment.

Whether there are treasures or not is unimportant; for the insect swarm, this endless waterway is itself a vast treasure trove.

Qin Mu smiled at the two of them.

Although we don't plan to develop it on a large scale for the time being, we still need to explore the surrounding area.

As it grows, the primordial sea can gradually advance into its deeper waters.

This primeval sea location is not just randomly placed; the desire to devour the three forbidden lands is not merely a thought.

Moreover, Qin Mu was well aware of this.

The Beast of the Realm that terrified even the primordial will of the universe was located in the dark place deep within the Inclined Peak Realm!

In the original timeline, the giant axe was lured and fell here.

Qin Mu would naturally devote more attention to the Peak Realm.

As they spoke, twenty Insect Nest Tyrants flew out from Qin Mu's spatial ring. The two leaders among them were wearing the pinnacle treasure armor, and their strength had reached the peak of the fourth-order Universe Lord.

With this group of Zergling Tyrants guarding the area, the Primal Sea is safe.

Some of them carefully surveyed their surroundings, exploring any potential dangers.

Meanwhile, the primordial sea was churning, giving rise to a group of relatively weak but skilled camouflage and reconnaissance units that were deployed around it.

"Your insect hive tyrant was only a first-tier combat power at the beginning, and even with a high-level treasure, you are only a second-tier strength."

But over the years you have mastered many of the most powerful secret techniques, which has caused their strength to increase dramatically.

I wouldn't dare underestimate any of them. Leading 50 Hive Tyrants out to conquer the land gives me a huge boost in confidence.

"Within the human race, and even some powerful figures within the Hong Alliance, are itching to rely on them to venture out and explore."

The Chaos City Lord sighed as he watched the insect hive tyrants scatter and fly away.

These insect hive tyrants are incredibly powerful, possessing divine bodies spanning 90,000 kilometers and mastering 13 of the strongest innate secret techniques. Their teamwork in battle is also extremely seamless.

Even without any equipment, his strength is comparable to that of a third-tier universe master.

Currently, the divine body has not yet completed its transformation.

If Qin Mu were to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, he could practically sweep through the entire universe.

During the battle of the Anti-Human Alliance in the primordial universe, many universe lords, including humans and members of the Hong Alliance, contributed their private collections to Qin Mu for cultivating the Hive Tyrant.

After the battle, they also gained the protection of those Hive Tyrants for ten thousand epochs.

For example, the Lord of Flint used his own resources to hatch ten!

The Lord of Flint is only a third-tier Universe Lord, but with ten Insect Hive Tyrants protecting him, he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered a fifth-tier Universe Lord.

How could they not want to go on an adventure in the cosmic sea?

In fact, if Qin Mu hadn't taught them "Bloodline Evolution," "Secret Pattern Record," and the ability to elevate their life level within ten thousand years, they would have run away long ago.

Even so, some cosmic lords couldn't resist and have already led the Hive Tyrant into the cosmic ocean for an adventure.

Those like Huang Jian and Long Xing, who possess clones, had already dispatched their clones into the Cosmic Sea long ago.

"It's still a bit lacking. Although they relied on helping the human universe venerables improve their life level and obtain the strongest talent secret technique bestowed upon them by the original universe will, it was still a shortcut."

Even with the enhancement of peak-level armor, he could easily fight against a typical fourth-tier universe lord, but he would be at a disadvantage against a fifth-tier universe lord.

Qin Mu smiled.

A third-tier universe master with great talent can create the strongest secret techniques, while a fourth-tier universe master has reached the pinnacle of life gene level, supreme treasures, and secret techniques.

As for fifth-order universe masters, they generally either created the strongest fusion secret technique or obtained rare items.

For example, his true form, even with the support of the Calamity Armor, the Primal Soul, the Flame God Halberd, and other supreme treasures of the peak domain, only reached the fifth rank, purely through the accumulation of treasures.

Even so, if he were to fight the Lord of Chaos City alone, he would most likely be utterly defeated.

The Lord of Chaos City is a top-tier expert among the fifth-order beings. He has already created the strongest fusion secret technique and is only a hair's breadth away from becoming the strongest being in the universe.

"You're only a Cosmic Venerable right now! The Hive Tyrants don't go out alone; once they all go out together, their power is multiplied."

In critical situations, it can even self-destruct to kill enemies!

The Lord of Chaos City was speechless.

Then, the Lord of Chaos City stopped worrying and asked a question.

"Do you plan to return to the primordial universe to continue your secluded cultivation, or will you venture into the Peak-Swept Realm?"

Qin Mu was about to answer when his expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of joy.

"Hahaha, I originally planned to return to the Primordial Universe to cultivate in seclusion after I had placed the Primordial Sea, but just now the Lord of the Desolate Mirror actually discovered the Prison King's whereabouts!"

And it's right here in the waters of the Peak Boundary!

It seems we'll have to wait a while; let's capture the Prison King alive first.

He had been coveting the title of King of the Prison Clan for a long time.

As an ancient being born within the Prison Clan, his existence is very special.

His true form is a throne tens of thousands of kilometers high, a treasure from birth!

This unique existence, possessing both life and treasure characteristics, is of great help to Qin Mu in his research on strengthening the insect swarm's body.

After the war ended, Qin Mu secretly instructed the strong members of the human race to notify him if they discovered any trace of the Prison King.

"The King of Hell? He actually entered the Cosmic Sea?"

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat surprised.

Because of its unique life form, the Prison King rarely leaves the territory of the Prison Clan, and even less often goes to the Cosmic Sea.

Given the Prison King's top-tier fifth-order strength and his unique characteristics, capturing him alive without leaving the Prison Clan's territory would only be possible if another great war were to break out.

But now, he has actually entered the Cosmic Sea, one of the three most dangerous places!

"Not surprising! As the human race grows stronger, other races in the original universe have had to seek a way out in the cosmic sea, and the Prison King is probably the same."

His strength is at the top of the fifth rank, so capturing him alive will not be easy.

Fortunately, although his physical form is strange, he possesses a soul, so I'm confident I can defeat him even if I go all out.

The Empress's expression was one of confidence.

Having reached her level of strength, ordinary Zerg warriors were of little help to her and consumed too many resources. Therefore, long ago, she leaned towards the Soul lineage.

One characteristic of those who follow the path of the soul is that if the opponent is affected by a soul attack, then they are destined to be ravaged!

Especially given the three-tier difference in strength, it would be difficult for the Prison King to escape.

Of course, if you encounter someone like Qin Mu who is immune to soul attacks, then a powerful person who follows the path of the soul can easily be overwhelmed.

"My teacher and I have a combined force of over a hundred Hive Tyrants. If we can block him, we have a chance!"

Qin Mu said excitedly.

"Let's go! Quickly, to the desolate ruins!"

The Lord of Chaos City also received a telepathic message from the Lord of Desolate Mirror and hurriedly replied.

Although the Lord of the Wasteland also brought along ten Insect Nest Tyrants, if the Prison King discovered something was wrong, he might escape with his top-tier fifth-order strength.

Once you leave the vast ocean of the universe, it will be difficult to encounter it again.

"Enter my palace, and hurry up."

The Empress glanced at the Lord of Chaos City and said.

Entering the Queen's Palace?

The Lord of Chaos City hesitated. The two had been mortal enemies in the past, but once they entered the Empress's Palace, their lives would be in the Empress's hands.

However, soon after, the Lord of Chaos followed Qin Mu into the Empress's Palace.

After all, it was just an avatar. With Qin Mu around, and the Empress having joined the human race, it was a formidable force.

Once the three entered the Queen's Palace, the Queen immediately used teleportation repeatedly to rush into the depths of the water, maintaining a high speed even in dangerous areas, heading towards the location of the Lord of the Wasteland.

……

Let's rewind to a quarter of an hour earlier, about 400 million light-years away from Qin Mu and his group.

The Lord of the Wasteland, with a ferocious face and a triangular head, was flying slowly. In front of, behind, to the left and right of him were two Insect Nest Tyrants. The five people carefully avoided some Water Spirits in the distance.

This is already at the deepest point in the water, and it is extremely dangerous.

Let alone teleportation, even the Lord of Desolate Mirror wouldn't dare to fly at high speed. If he were entangled by a group of water spirits who took advantage of the terrain, he would suffer a great loss.

"Huh? What's that?"

In the far distance, he was shocked to discover another life form flying slowly. It was a prison king with a skull and a forehead that protruded forward like a scimitar!

Just as the Lord of the Wasteland discovered the King of Hell, the King of Hell also discovered him at almost the same time!

"Space Lockdown!"

Almost instantly, a white light emanated from the body of the Lord of Desolation—it was a top-tier domain treasure!

The spatial fluctuations in the surrounding waters instantly stopped.

"How dare you lay a hand on me? Who gave you the audacity?"
