Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Wanlin Garden, where the world's mother nest flies.

The World Mother Nest did not fly very fast, and large patches of fungal carpet tissue flowed out from time to time during the flight, covering the entire gray-black land.

Those pavilions and towers that existed in ancient times are no exception.

Occasionally, some surviving dead beasts are awakened, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.

Faced with the greatly enhanced power of the insect swarm, they advanced unstoppably, and even the overlord in the Garden of All Spirits, whose strength was comparable to that of a Void God, was dragged into the World Mother Nest with the help of the insect swarm.

clang!clang!clang!

The sound of chains echoed as 108 shadow chains stretched wildly, instantly becoming billions of kilometers long, binding a monstrous beast below that was wildly waving blood-red vines and exuding a dense aura of death.

This is another plant among the five overlords of the Garden of All Spirits—the Netherworld Vine, a deadly beast!

The most prominent feature of plant-type mythical beasts is their extremely large size.

With a single swing of those vines, which were hundreds of billions of kilometers long, they could blast away the insect hive tyrant whose strength was comparable to that of a seventh-tier true god!

Roar!

The war behemoth, formed by the fusion of tens of thousands of insect hive tyrants and innate beast gods with nine supreme treasures, crashed down, tearing at the vines.

The World Mother Nest also seized the opportunity to unleash its full power, attempting to pull it into its body and suppress it.

But how developed is the root system of such a huge creature?

Rooted in the earth, its aura seems to merge with the entire land, completely unafraid of the pull of the world's mother nest.

However, the swarm has a wealth of experience dealing with these immobile plant-type units.

After failing to suppress it directly, the twelve heads of the war behemoth, which was billions of kilometers tall, suddenly unleashed their full power and broke out of the area covered by the vines.

Then, nearly 100,000 Zergling Tyrants launched a combined attack from afar!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of dazzling white lights flew out from the hands of the Insect Hive Tyrant and converged into a single point at very close range with the Nether Vine!

The sheer power of 100,000 attacks, each comparable to a seventh-tier attack, was terrifying. The all-consuming shockwave swept across the land, leaving the Netherworld Vine, rooted in the earth, no chance to dodge.

The vines, stretching for hundreds of billions of kilometers, snapped inch by inch and vanished into nothingness before this shockwave.

Even though the terrifying impact spread across billions of light-years, it still swept away everything, causing the hovering world's mother nest in the void to tremble.

As the energy fluctuations dissipated, Qin Mu gazed into the distance at the explosion's core, which had transformed into a massive crater.

"They're still alive?"

Qin Mu was somewhat surprised.

This is a combined attack from 100,000 Zergling Tyrants!

Moreover, it was an explosion at extremely close range, so all the damage struck the Nether Vine's body squarely.

Even so, although the aura of the Netherworld Vine had become extremely weak and some of its vines were broken, it was not completely dead.

"The energy is too dispersed."

After carefully sensing the surroundings, Qin Mu frowned slightly.

The swarm attack is becoming less and less effective. If this attack were aimed at a being like the Lava Demon, the Lava Demon could easily dodge it.

Even if you can't completely dodge it, as long as you leave the core explosion zone, you basically won't be able to cause it any substantial damage.

They can only bully these immobile plant lives.

clang!clang!clang!

The World Mother Nest split open, and 108 Shadow Chains flew out again, firmly binding the Nether Vine's body. Then, with a sudden burst of force, they uprooted the heavily injured Nether Vine and dragged it into the void.

In the distance, grayish-purple fungal carpets surged across the land like waves, completely covering it.

"Finally, the Zerg swarm has completely conquered an extremely dangerous area within the spaceship!"

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Qin Mu felt cheerful.

This Nether Vine was the last overlord-level dead beast suppressed by the insect swarm, and from then on, all areas of the Garden of All Spirits were occupied by the insect swarm!

The inner region of the spaceship is filled with various dangerous places. Although the insect swarm has spread throughout it over the past tens of thousands of years, it has never truly conquered any of them.

Having broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, his divine power underwent a qualitative change, increasing a hundredfold, and his life level also broke through, further increasing his strength.

They have finally completely occupied an entire extremely dangerous area within the inner domain, a first for the entire spaceship!

"Next, we need to begin our advance towards the core area! Only by breaking through several core areas will we have a chance to truly control the entire spaceship!"

A huge map appeared before Qin Mu's eyes; it was a map of the entire spaceship.

On the map, the outer areas are clearly marked, and some relatively safe areas have been completely covered by the fungal carpet, which is shown in purple.

Some dangerous places, such as the God-Slaying Gorge, have detailed safety routes marked to facilitate the passage of insect swarm units.

Some areas, such as the underground labyrinth, are marked with valuable resources that are currently being mined.

Even the movements of the nine-headed lava demon were clearly recorded.

Clearly, although this area has not been completely conquered, it poses almost no danger to the insect swarm.

However, the most central area on this map, the region closest to the spaceship's control room, is completely dark.

Inside the spaceship, the innermost area is extremely dangerous.

In the inner domain, many natural environments are comparable to the full-force attack of the universe's strongest beings, and some elite units within the swarm can still survive in such areas.

However, if one enters the core area, even a slight disturbance can have a power far exceeding that of the strongest being in the universe, potentially causing even the strongest being in the universe, who possesses the most powerful treasures, to perish.

Therefore, the insect swarm did not explore it much before it had undergone metamorphosis.

"Although the core area is still extremely dangerous for swarm units, we now have some resources to explore it."

"At least it shouldn't be a problem to send elite units like the Hive Tyrant in carrying top-tier or even supreme-level treasures."

Qin Mu pondered.

Even the strongest being in the universe, like the Thunderclap Demon God, could enter the core area and access the legacy of the Broken East River. After the Insect Nest Tyrant evolves, its overall strength may not surpass that of the Thunderclap Demon God, but its survivability will definitely not be worse than his opponent's.

As he was pondering, Qin Mu suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Have we found something good?"

Although Wanlin Garden was once inhabited by many dead and strange beasts, making it an extremely dangerous area, it was also a treasure trove.

As the swarm swept across the entire area, they also discovered quite a few valuable items.

Occasionally, hidden spaces or spatial treasures can be found within some collapsed palaces. There is a chance to discover treasures such as the Purple Jade Fruit, the Nine-Petaled Lotus Fruit, and the Dragon Bone Vine, which can help the life level of a universe master evolve.

Furthermore, while suppressing another overlord-level death beast, he also obtained two supreme treasures!

After suppressing the Nether Vine, the fungal carpet spread wildly and soon discovered a huge underground palace.

This palace is located deep underground, and is covered by ghostly vines, so it is unlikely that anyone has ever entered it.

As the ubiquitous fungal carpet spread further, it was discovered along a deep, dark passage.

When the first Hive Tyrant descended, a magnificent palace suddenly appeared before them.

Inside the palace stand countless exquisitely carved stone pillars, their surfaces adorned with reliefs of various mythical beasts, each with a unique and lifelike form, seemingly poised to burst forth from the pillars.

At the far end of the palace stands a breathtaking bronze gate.

Above the bronze gate is a plaque covered with ancient runes and patterns, and the bold characters on it exude a powerful aura.

"The Beast Taming Hall's treasure vault? It's actually a treasure vault!"

Qin Mu's consciousness instantly descended upon the body of a Hive Tyrant wielding a long spear outside the treasure vault, and scanned the surroundings.

Perhaps due to the great battle that once broke out, this once majestic palace has collapsed in large part, and most of the exquisite stone pillars have also fallen.

Even the signboard was broken and damaged.

"Judging from this, this should be a small treasure room in the Garden of All Spirits area, but I don't know how many treasures are left inside."

Qin Mu was quite excited.

This is a treasure trove inside the spaceship!

Although Qin Mu knew very well that a place like the Space Ship must have a place similar to the Jin World Armory, that was the real treasure trove.

But even the smallest treasure vault is still a treasure vault!

Given the size of the spaceship, the treasures that could fit into the vault must be of considerable value.

Immediately, a 90,000-kilometer-tall insect hive tyrant strode forward, placed his hands on the bronze gate, and exerted all his strength.

hum!

The bronze gate remained unmoved. In fact, the actions of the Hive Tyrant seemed to have activated some kind of defense system. Light burst forth from the stone pillars that had not yet collapsed, trapping the Hive Tyrant inside and emitting a sharp alarm.

"This... after countless cycles of reincarnation, the vault's defense system is still functioning!"

Seeing this, Qin Mu was not surprised but delighted.

The stronger the defense of a treasure vault, the more precious the treasures inside!

Immediately, Qin Mu began to observe the strange beast stone pillars inside the palace, as well as some secret patterns exposed throughout the palace.

"Fortunately, the secret pattern has decayed over the long years, and most of the patterns are incomplete. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for me to open it with my strength."

After observing for a while, Qin Mu smiled.

Qin Mu already possessed profound knowledge of the secret patterns, not to mention that after inheriting the knowledge from Duan Donghe and continuously learning from it, his insight and abilities underwent a qualitative leap.

Therefore, it was quickly recognized that this was a relatively common protective formation.

On the continent of origin, there is a more advanced technique for creating runes, which they generally refer to as formations.

Many powerful individuals will set up formations in key locations, such as treasure vaults and residences, to protect them.

This is a formation.

If the formation is intact, without a corresponding method, even the Eternal True God would not be able to force his way in, let alone Qin Mu.

But even a powerful spaceship decays in the face of time, let alone an underground palace inside.

"Swarm! Begin simulation!"

Let me see what treasure is hidden inside!

After exploring for so long, we've finally found a great treasure. (End of Chapter)
