Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Who is it?"

The evil-smelling beast roared, its two blood-red eyes fixed on the rock giant within the layers of space.

This is the birthplace of the Beast of the Realm, the core area within the Dark Land. Because it was born not long ago, it lived nearby, but suddenly sensed a strange aura descending, so it immediately came to investigate and saw a rock giant!

Beasts of the realm are born with ever-changing appearances, and it is normal for them to appear in any form.

However, while the Beasts of the Realm can sense each other, it did not perceive their presence!

This indicates that the life form before us is not a beast from the cosmic realm, but a life form from the cosmic sea!

But this place is dark and gloomy!

Leaving aside the hundreds of millions of world beasts, the natural power of disorientation alone could trap most of the life forms in the cosmic sea. How could any life form in the cosmic sea escape the discovery of the world beasts and penetrate deep into the core of the dark place?

"What should we do?"

As Qin Mu gazed at the ferocious-looking Beast of the Realm, his mind raced.

This body is merely a very simple reconnaissance unit with extremely weak strength, and it has absolutely no chance of winning against the World Beast.

"Since we've already been discovered, there's no point in self-destruction. We might as well go inside the Void Tree and explore the mysteries of this breeding ground for world beasts!"

"Walk!"

After making his decision, Qin Mu didn't even glance at the Beast of Realms, and charged directly toward the colorful light at the end of the tree branch that was twisted from the endless void.

Beneath that towering tree, composed of countless spaces and filled with an aura of destruction!

"court death!"

The Beast roared in fury, "This is the birthplace of the Beast. How can we allow those powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea who are only fit to be our food to enter?"

The beast suddenly opened its mouth, but made no sound.

But a silent scream rushed into the rock giant's body.

However, the rock giant did not react at all to the soul attack of the Beast of Realms, and directly unleashed the "Eastern Flower" technique with its divine power burning.

This rock giant was a unit specially selected by Qin Mu for reconnaissance, and one of its most distinctive features is that it has no soul!

If it doesn't even have a soul, how can it be affected by soul attacks?

of course.

Even if he has a soul, Qin Mu's will has already reached the limit level of a Void True God.

This ninth-tier True God level world beast soul attack was nothing more than a gentle breeze to the entire insectoid network, and was completely disregarded.

Whoosh!

Qin Mu's body transformed into a stream of light, continuously advancing through layers of space.

"Donghua" is a life-saving technique passed down from Duan Donghe, and it can be used at an incredibly fast speed.

Almost instantly, Qin Mu rushed into the colorful space.

The moment he entered the colored space, Qin Mu saw a burly, powerful phantom figure covered in silver scales.

He has twelve silver horns on his head and a silver scale tail.

The moment they saw him, the swarm's will, formed by the entire Zerg network, trembled violently, as if they had seen the most terrifying being in the world!

In terms of sheer presence, this burly, silver-scaled powerhouse was not strong at all, not even as powerful as the third-generation patriarch within the Duan Donghe inheritance space.

But the moment Qin Mu saw him, it was as if he had seen the destroyer of the world, the source of all destruction.

It seems that this burly, powerful figure with silver scales is the embodiment of the concept of destruction.

The moment Qin Mu rushed in, the burly, powerful phantom of a figure in silver scale armor looked down.

"Hmm? Interesting. A life form actually broke in at the very beginning of the creation of the World Beast?"

Once the Beast Mother Nest completes its gestation process, it automatically closes, preventing any living being from entering. You were the first to enter the Beast Mother Nest.

The burly, powerful man in the silver-scaled armor had a look of curiosity on his face.

His eyes radiated a silvery-white light, enveloping Qin Mu. Qin Mu felt completely unable to move, as if his thoughts had stopped functioning.

"What peculiar life forms! Zerg?"

In just a moment, Qin Mu felt as if he had no secrets left in front of this burly, silver-scaled powerhouse; the entire swarm of insects was exposed to his sight.

"You Zerg, you were born to devour and destroy; you're a natural destroyer. Instead, you spend all your time doing all sorts of research!"

"But I can't blame you. After all, you're not one of my kind, so simply destroying you wouldn't mean anything."

The burly, powerful man in silver scales stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

"It's fate that you're here. I can give you a chance, a chance to break free from your constraints!"

In this small cosmic ocean, you are already almost invincible with that massive swarm of insects, and you have little chance to grow stronger.

However, if you choose to accept the inheritance, there will be no turning back. You will face the trials I have set, and only by passing the trials can you survive.

"Don't think you're immune to death just because you have countless clones. If you fail the test, all your clones will perish instantly!"

"If you don't want to accept the inheritance, that's fine too. You can choose to leave. I will erase your related memories and send you outside."

Tell me your choice!

A wicked smile appeared on the face of the burly, silver-scaled man.

"An opportunity? An opportunity to break free from the cage?"

Qin Mu's heart trembled as if a great bell had been struck, and the will of the swarm of insects, composed of countless souls, stirred up a monstrous tsunami.

Who is this powerful figure before us?

Countless thoughts churned within the swarm's will.

He thought of a name, a great being on par with 'Yuan'!

I never expected to encounter this person while exploring the lair of the Beast Realm.

What is the opportunity to break free from the cage?

Relying on the special nature of the insect swarm, and having obtained the inheritances of Duan Donghe and Jiemu, especially the incomplete Dao of the Origin of Life in the Jiemu inheritance, Qin Mu was confident that he could become a God-King level powerhouse.

Even a god-king level expert cannot escape the cage!

Without a doubt, this will be the greatest opportunity he has ever had in his cultivation.

However, if I choose to accept it, I might die!

Death in the true sense of the word.

Before this great being, it would probably only take a single thought for the entire swarm to be instantly annihilated.

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Qin Mu looked up at the burly, silver-scaled phantom in the sky and asked softly.

"Could you please tell me what kind of opportunity this is?"

Although he was very tempted by the opportunity offered by this great being, Qin Mu did not make a hasty choice.

What do you feel you lack most right now?

The burly, powerful man with silver scales looked at Qin Mu and asked in return.

"You have countless clones, yet you are trapped in this small cosmic sea. Are you tired of it?"

Resource-scarce, with no rivals.

If you pass the test, I can give you a chance to go to other cosmic seas, or even other source worlds!

And your spiritual path.

Your greatest strength lies in various research areas, but you lack a suitable successor.

Cultivation in this world involves comprehending various laws and the mysteries of rules—a very powerful system.

However, given your unique circumstances, simply following this one system would be somewhat of a waste.

If you can travel to other worlds, you will see a wider world, have unlimited resources, and meet countless powerful beings, allowing you to go further.

To other cosmic seas, or even other source worlds?

Qin Mu's pupils suddenly dilated as he looked at the rock-formed body.

How could he not be tempted!

With the power of the swarm, once he breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he will be completely invincible.

Even if it were a Beast of the Realm, he was confident he could kill it by sheer force.

But as this great being said, he was trapped within this tiny cosmic sea.

For other powerful beings, even a tenth-order True God, the universe is extremely vast, and they might not be able to explore even one forbidden land in their entire lives.

But it wasn't like that for Qin Mu.

As countless swarms of insects expanded wildly, the known cosmic sea, apart from the cores of the three forbidden zones, held almost no secrets for him and served no purpose of honing his skills.

In order to acquire more resources, Qin Mu had no choice but to build a swarm expeditionary fleet to explore the unknown universe.

but--

The spirit of passing on traditions is deeply moving! However, the risk of its loss is also extremely high!

With the insect swarm around him, Qin Mu hadn't felt a real threat of death for a long time.

When was the last time you felt a death crisis?

Is it a great war with other races in the primordial universe?

Or perhaps it was when we first stepped into space?

Do not!

In truth, despite Qin Mu's cautious approach throughout, he only truly encountered one crisis.

That was when I first arrived in this world, when I had just become a quasi-martial artist, and when I entered the wilderness to incubate my first mother nest.

However, no matter how large the swarm is, it is utterly useless in the face of this great being.

If we fail, we will surely die!

But this is also my biggest chance!

Should one accept the inheritance? (End of Chapter)
