Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"How is this possible? This is the power of the 'King'!"

Qiuyan Ancestral God looked at the Queen and the Giant Axe Founder, who were almost unharmed, with a horrified expression.

When he first encountered the Beast of the Realm in the Dark Land, he was powerless against its force and had no choice but to submit.

Although the power of the Beast Realm he unleashed was not as strong as that of a real Beast Realm, how could the Giant Axe Founder and Queen resist it so easily?

"Run! This is beyond our ability to fight!"

King Zhenjia was equally shocked and furious.

They knew that the founder of the giant axe and the queen were extremely powerful, but they never expected them to be this powerful.

"Escape? Where do you think you can escape to?"

Qin Mu's cold voice rang out as he stood in front of the ancient ship, holding a long spear, with endless lightning emanating from his body.

"You're still alive?"

Qiuyan Ancestral God looked at Qin Mu with a face full of surprise. They had tried many times, but the power of the Realm Beast was extremely special. No attack could stop it, and they could only rely on their divine power to withstand it.

If it is the strongest being in the universe, like the Dream Demon Ancestor, it can withstand the attack for a while, but the Lord of the Universe will die instantly.

This has nothing to do with understanding the laws; it's simply a suppression of the essence of life.

"Annihilation!"

Faced with Qiuyan Ancestral God's question, Qin Mu simply raised his spear slightly and then thrust it out instantly.

"Even if you're not dead, you dare to block my way?"

On the ancient ship, the Ancestral God of Qiuyan roared, and when choosing to break through, he did not hesitate to choose the direction where Qin Mu was.

Qin Mu's reputation is widespread, but that's because there are so many of him.

In terms of individual strength, it was not particularly outstanding, at least it was never shown.

boom!

Its massive rocky body moved instantly, and its hooves swung out fiercely!

The spear pierced the air, and the claws collided, creating a powerful shockwave that swept outwards. The Ancestral God of Qiongyan, along with the ancient ship below, were instantly sent flying backwards.

At the moment of collision, the Ancestral God of Qiuyan felt an endless aura of death rushing towards him, as if it would completely devour him.

"Impossible! How could this be?"

Feeling that immense power, the Ancestral God Qiuyan roared in disbelief.

He is a top-tier eighth-order True God!

How could he have been at a disadvantage in a battle against a cosmic ruler?

It's one thing that he's no match for the Giant Axe Founder and the Empress, since they are already powerful and possess supreme treasures, but Qin Mu is just a mere Universe Lord.

Although his strength was somewhat weakened due to the suppression of the two supreme treasures of the Empress and Qin Mu's domains, it was still top-tier power at the eighth rank!

"It seems there are no other options left. If that's all there is, then die!"

The Empress's cold voice rang out.

The colossal hand that blotted out the sky pressed down, and at the same time, an extremely violent soul shockwave struck.

boom!

On the ancient ship, Qiuyan Ancestral God and Zhenjia King felt as if they had been hit hard in the head by a heavy hammer, and their whole bodies were dizzy.

Even the control of the ancient ship loosened.

The palace's supreme treasures offer extremely strong defense against material attacks, but are very ineffective against soul attacks.

Not all palace treasures are Star Towers.

clang!

A massive hand, composed of 10081 tiny, sharp cones, grabbed the ancient ship and gripped it tightly, causing the ship to emit a sickeningly loud sound.

"I possess the most powerful and precious treasures in my palace; you cannot kill me!"

The enraged Queen Qiuyan Ancestral God unleashed her full divine power, causing the ancient ship to erupt with scorching light as she tried to break free of her restraints.

If we were dragged into the Queen's Palace by this colossal, sky-covering hand, it would be dangerous.

King Zhenjia and Ancestral God Qiuyan are both powerful beings with strong divine bodies and excellent defense skills. Even if you are stronger than them, it would be very difficult to kill them.

Not to mention, King Zhenjia also has the supreme treasure armor protecting him.

However, if they are dragged into the Empress's Palace and suppressed, they can easily be killed by external forces. For example, Qin Mu once used the power of the Primal Universe to kill the True God of Awakening of the Purple Moon Holy Land!

"Can't be killed? You're overestimating yourselves."

The Empress gave a cold laugh.

"Soul annihilated!"

Two beams of light, almost tangible, flew from her hands, piercing through the ancient ship's defenses and rushing into the bodies of King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God Qiuyan.

"No!"

"No! Let them go..."

Sensing that all the soul imprints within the divine body were shattering at an alarming rate, King Zhenjia and Ancestral God Qiuyan cried out in terror, but before they could even finish begging for mercy, the life force within that enormous divine body completely dissipated.

To kill the strongest being in the universe, besides destroying their divine body, the best way is to annihilate their soul!

To achieve this, one must possess a vast difference in strength and be proficient in soul-based attack methods, and the Empress happens to meet both of these criteria.

"Died so easily?"

The founder of the giant axe looked at the ancient ship floating on the turbulent waters and sighed.

If he were to take action, he could suppress the opponent, but killing it would be difficult. He could only gradually wear down the opponent's divine body through powerful attacks.

Even the original ancestor was quite different from the Empress in terms of the soul.

"If we hadn't taken the Nine Revolutions Soul Lotus, it would have taken some effort to kill them, but now it's not so troublesome."

The Queen shook her head.

After obtaining the Gem's legacy, she devoted the most effort to the path of the soul, and her ability to destroy souls made a qualitative leap.

The Nine-Turn Soul Lotus caused her soul to transform, making it even more terrifying.

"Two top-tier eighth-order True Gods!" the Giant Axe Founder exclaimed, then looked at Qin Mu, "Qin Mu, did you make any prior arrangements for the miniature universes of these two strongest beings?"

Qin Mu smiled and nodded: "Before I came here, I arranged for the Zerg swarm to be near their miniature universe."

With his current wealth, two True God Cosmos may not seem like much, but even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"Killing them is easier than I thought, but that black aura is really strange. Even the strongest beings in the universe would probably have little power to resist it."

The empress looked at the two corpses, her brows furrowing slightly.

Upon contact with the black aura, the primal fear she felt made her extremely uncomfortable.

This is only the power bestowed upon the servants by the Beast of the Realm. How terrifying would it be if the real Beast of the Realm were to unleash it?

There are a total of one billion of these powerful world beasts!

"We'll talk about that later. Let's take these corpses back and study them first. Do you want these two supreme treasures?"

Qin Mu shook his head and smiled.

The Beast of the Realm is strong, but not as powerful as the Queen imagined.

With the Empress and the Giant Axe's top-tier tenth-order strength, they could easily slaughter ordinary first and second-order world beasts.

"I don't need it. I don't lack supreme treasures right now."

Giant Axe shook his head. He already had a complete set of supreme treasures, so one or two more pieces wouldn't make much difference.

"I don't need it either."

After a slight hesitation, the Empress also spoke.

After obtaining the legacy of the Zem, she used its methods for cultivating elite warriors to train nine powerful Zerg warriors at the level of true gods.

There is actually a great demand for supreme treasures.

But this is, after all, an extremely powerful treasure, and she has already taken too much from Qin Mu, so it's not appropriate for her to ask for more.

"Take these two supreme treasures, giant axes, and place them among the human race as a foundation."

As for the Empress, I will give you a few more supreme treasures later.

Without the most powerful treasures, those elite Zerg wouldn't be of much use.

Qin Mu was naturally aware of the Queen's cultivation of special Zerg units.

After saying that, Qin Mu turned to look at the other side of the endless waves. At the end of the endless waters was darkness, a darkness that made one's soul tremble.

That place is a dark place!

Before the birth of the Beast of the Realm, once one fell into the depths of the Dark Land, one would be forever lost and unable to escape.

Generally, one would only venture to the edge, or dare to go deeper if the Lord of the Universe had an avatar. Even if one died, it would only mean the loss of one avatar.

"Next, my swarm of insects will enter the Dark Land to witness the power of the Beasts. You will stay outside to provide support."

Killing King Zhenjia and Ancestral God Qiuyan was just a side matter. Qin Mu's real purpose in coming here was to delve deeper into the Dark Land!

"Yes, you need to be careful!"

Giant Axe nodded, without saying anything about going in himself.

He is a true god; if he goes in and perishes, then he truly perishes.

"Let my nine elite Zerg warriors, whom I trained, go in with you! They are true gods; they should be of help."

The Empress waved her hand, and nine-headed insectoid warriors appeared in the void.

Some of these nine-headed insectoid warriors resemble beetles, covered in thick carapaces, while others are shaped like mantises, with thick lower limbs and two pairs of forelimbs that look like battle swords...

Each of them possessed an extremely powerful aura, no less than that of the recently deceased King Zhenjia and the Ancestral God Qiuyan.

"No need. You put in a lot of effort to cultivate these nine elite Zerg. I didn't plan to come out on this trip."

If we're lucky enough to escape, you guys can help us out.

Qin Mu shook his head.

The situation in the dimly lit place is extremely special. Once you fall into it, all your senses will be affected, and any alien life that gets lost will become lost if it goes deep inside.

Moreover, it's impossible to even mark the location within it, because the entire dark place is spherical, and its interior is constantly and slowly rotating.

Once inside, the location remained unchanged relative to some of the mountains within.

But to the outside world... the Dark Land is constantly changing.

Once you're inside, it'll be difficult to get out.

Qin Mu only planned to go and see what was happening in the Dark Land, and if he had the chance, he would collect some World Beast Blood, analyze it, and upload it to the Soul Network of the Insect Swarm.

Of course, if possible, Qin Mu would also like to explore the mysteries of the birth of the World Beasts!

Beasts of the Realm are life forms born from the Cosmic Sea specifically for destruction.

But how were they conceived?

Thanks to some memories from his previous life, Qin Mu knew that some source worlds could give birth to beings like the Destruction Demon Clan, who were also born for destruction.

The Destroyer Demons were born in a special kind of creature's nest.

Such nests can also be found in dark places.

So perhaps this will be an opportunity for the swarm.

"Then be careful!"

The Queen nodded.

"Um."

Qin Mu nodded and said nothing more.

He immediately piloted the ice-crystal-like fortress towards the edge of the Thousand Waves Waters, flying directly into the endless darkness. (End of Chapter)
