Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 567 Large-scale Development of the Spaceship

The massive swarm of insects flew toward the spaceship.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the power of the spaceship.

Enormous rivers of flame surrounded the spaceship, while a vast sea of ​​icy air enveloped its surroundings.

Amidst the chill, one could faintly see crystal-clear ice, as smooth as a mirror…

At the same time, huge whirlpools of wind were raging all around...

Crack!

Giant electric snakes, each tens of thousands of light-years long, raged and roared.

The dazzling rays of light in various colors were so eye-catching.

Huge, dark green vines climbed the entire surface of the spaceship, creating a serene atmosphere.

……

Flames, cold air, wind, lightning, vines, light...

At the outermost edge, there are also a large number of 'fragments' that are constantly orbiting the spaceship at high speed.

These are fragments that broke off from the hull of the spaceship, and those countless fragments are constantly flying at high speed.

Once it hits, even the most powerful and precious treasures of a palace will be instantly thrown away.

While absorbing endless energy, the spaceship itself is also releasing infinite energy.

But seeing this scene, Qin Mu had a smile on his face.

This energy is also the best for the swarm!

With this dissipated energy, the swarm can multiply rapidly and explore the spaceship in the fastest way possible.

Yes, it's just exploration.

It would be impossible for the spaceship to devour the main peak of the Inclined Peak Realm in the same way, at least for the main structure of the spaceship.

"Let's get started!"

At Qin Mu's command, the massive swarm of insects immediately began to move.

Most of the Leviathans flew towards the main body of the spaceship, with giant mother nests emerging from the belly of the cabin and landing on the spaceship's deck.

Immediately, a large amount of purple fungal carpet spread out, spreading in all directions.

Most of the outer decks of the spaceship are not dangerous; the real danger lies inside the spaceship, especially the core area.

Over time, large vines have even grown on its outer deck.

These vines are not particularly powerful plant life forms, comparable only to cosmic beings, and they have no intelligence whatsoever.

The only redeeming quality they possess is that they have adapted to the environment outside the spaceship and are able to draw upon some of the rampant energy surrounding it as nourishment for their growth.

How did Qin Mu know so much?

This is because long before the main Zerg army arrived, Zerg reconnaissance units had come to gather intelligence about the spaceship.

The plant life patterns on the surface of the spaceship were already in the gene pool of the insect swarm.

As large numbers of Zerg units appeared, some of the Zerg reconnaissance units flew inward along the breach in the spaceship's hull to begin further exploration.

The other part began to circle the entire spaceship, especially the energy-devouring area below the spaceship, flying towards the direction of devouring microcosms.

The energy absorption method of the spaceship is what the swarm needs.

The spaceship's exterior is engraved with numerous secret runes, some of which are not damaged and are constantly in operation.

Under the scanning of the swarm units, a large number of secret patterns were collected into the swarm network and began to be deciphered.

Meanwhile, some energy collection units flew directly towards the endless areas of flames, cold air, wind, lightning, vines, and light surrounding the spaceship.

For example, millions of insect units, each tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter and resembling lightning balls, with their surfaces covered in sharp spikes of lightning, fly into giant electric snakes that are tens of thousands of light-years long.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Some of those lightning-like creatures were instantly blasted apart by the terrifying power of the massive lightning bolt the moment they came into contact with it.

But many more managed to fly in successfully.

boom!

Thin bolts of lightning branched out from the giant lightning serpent, striking the lightning sphere's spikes, which resembled lightning rods.

wow-

The enormous energy contained in lightning is absorbed and converted into a high-density energy liquid stored inside it.

Similar swarm units continuously flew into the flames, gales, and light outside the spaceship, devouring energy.

Although many units that collected resources died, the number of deaths was negligible compared to the overall total.

Within the swarm, the mother hive begins adjusting the genes and body structure of these resource-gathering units based on the situation on-site, enabling them to devour the energy within more quickly and effectively.

Another portion of the Leviathan fleet, along with the Dominator Palace, landed in the debris area of ​​the high-speed flying 'spaceship'.

Countless fragments, ranging from billions of kilometers to hundreds of light-years in size.

Whoosh!

The Lord of the Palace teleported and landed on a fragment of a cosmic ship.

This fragment has a maximum diameter of about 1.2 light-years, and apart from some purple patterns, it is entirely deep black.

When Qin Mu flew out of the Sovereign Hall, he clearly felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the entire fragment.

Moreover, this fragment is vaguely connected to a distant spaceship.

The remaining Leviathans also teleported onto the debris, either dropping large swathes of their brood mounds or launching various reconnaissance units.

"If you want to dismantle the spaceship, start with these spaceship fragments. Even if you can dismantle the smallest fragment, it will be a huge success."

The key lies in understanding the countless secret runes inscribed on the spaceship.

Qin Mu looked at the countless fragments of debris and said.

"I can't help with that, you'll have to rely on yourself."

The Empress nodded slightly.

Over countless years, numerous powerful individuals have tried, but none have been able to take away even a single fragment of the 'Cosmic Ship Fragment'.

Even a full-force attack on the spaceship fragments could not cause them to fly around erratically.

It seemed as if an invisible rope was binding it to the spaceship.

If Qin Mu hadn't obtained the weapon-refining inheritance and the method to break the curse from the Mountain-Sitting Guest, he planned to gather a large number of insect swarm units to launch a combined attack and cause violent destruction.

However, it is extremely difficult to destroy a Chaos Realm super-large mechanical treasure by force, even if it is already damaged.

"To do this, you need to first understand the secret patterns on the spaceship, find the energy nodes within them, and then bombard them to disrupt their operation."

Even with the combined efforts of a massive swarm of insects, it would still take a long time.

Fortunately, the spaceship is severely damaged; with careful deciphering and searching, there will always be a chance.

Although the hermit provided the method, it was still not an easy task.

As the two talked, streaks of light flew in from not far away.

Leading them were the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, and other powerful human figures.

This fragment of a spaceship is actually the place where the original humans gathered on the 'spaceship'.

Needless to say, the Peak Realm is already the main base of the insect swarm. The human race has set up gathering places in the outer regions of the Cosmic Boat and the Flowing Heavy Mountain, which are two forbidden areas.

Because exploration in dangerous places requires caution, and if you get tired after a long time, you will return there to rest.

"Qin Mu! Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Ice Peak flew forward, and a group of Universe Lords behind them also bowed in greeting.

Faced with Qin Mu, the strongest being in the universe and who intimidated the entire cosmic sea, apart from those who were close to Qin Mu, the other universe lords dared not act recklessly.

The Empress nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

"Uncle-Master," Qin Mu said, looking at the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Ice Peak, "you've also arrived on this spaceship?"

"Well, your swarm recently added some maps to the spaceship, so we came to take a look and scout the way for you."

Anyway, there are insect swarms inside the Peak Realm, so there's not much point in us going to explore there.

The Lord of Darkness laughed.

During this thousand-year period, the insect swarm has acquired two more ninth-order true god inheritances within the Inclined Peak Realm, one of which contains the tethering diagram of the cosmic ship.

Qin Mu had already uploaded it to the insect network.

As one of the most powerful universe masters among humankind, and further enhanced by Qin Mu's life level, his strength is now comparable to that of a sixth-order universe master.

Especially after Qin Mu gifted him a supreme treasure, coupled with the inheritance gained from the insect swarm, the Dark Lord's strength surged once again.

He even had a record of facing off against the strongest player from the second era without being defeated.

"Me too. With the guidance of the 'Frozen Time and Space' secret technique, my strength has improved a lot, and I am considered top among the fifth rank. I came to the spaceship to hone my skills."

The Lord of Ice Peaks also laughed.

In fact, it's not just the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Ice; many powerful universe lords from humanity and the Hong Alliance don't go to the Peak Realm very often.

Besides coming to the spaceship to explore new lands, the main reason is that there are too many insect swarms in the Peak Realm. Except for a few core areas, there are insect swarm reconnaissance units everywhere.

If any treasures appear, they will most likely fall into the hands of the insect swarm.

While it's much safer, the chances of obtaining rare treasures are also much smaller.

Alternatively, they could only head to the core area where there were fewer swarm scouts, or simply go to one of the other two major wastelands.

Most of the human universe lords who remain in the Peak Realm are relatively weak, newly promoted universe lords.

In any case, humanity is now the undisputed overlord of the universe and the oceans.

No one dares to easily provoke the universe's ruler who is associated with the human race.

"With the Zerg swarm coming, those alien races are going to have a headache again."

The Lord of Darkness wore a strange smile.

Having experienced the Peak Realm, he knew that the swarm's reconnaissance army would soon be spread throughout the entire spaceship.

"I haven't been committing mass killings; I've already been very merciful."

Qin Mu looked at the spaceship itself. Before the swarm descended, the swarm's reconnaissance units had already discovered many eyes secretly watching.

Qin Mu didn't bother with any of that.

As long as they don't actively target the insect swarm, Qin Mu won't specifically hunt down powerful individuals from other races.

"In this area, I will place a primeval sea as the core of the swarm, and let's also place the human safe point here, it's relatively safer."

As Qin Mu finished speaking, the Sovereign Palace behind him flew up and landed above the main deck of the spaceship. Then, endless seawater flowed out and quickly transformed into a primordial sea with a diameter of about 10 billion kilometers.

From the surging sea, countless insectoid units crawled out and began the spaceship's exploration.

"Understood! Now, those universe lords of different races will probably try to run away again."
