Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 688 A Battle That Lasted for Ten Thousand Years

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the 70 Beast Realms and the intense spatial fluctuations, countless Insect Nest Tyrants used teleportation to surround them at an extremely fast speed.

"It's a swarm of Zerg! That's impossible. They just gathered tens of millions of top-tier combatants to fight Odysseus and his forces in the Xuanlong Holy Land universe. How could they possibly have so many top-tier units again?"

Among the Beast Realms, a fourth-tier Beast roared in anger.

The appearance of the millions of insect hive tyrants has already made many world beasts uneasy.

If they can gather all the beasts of the realm, they still have a considerable chance of winning.

Through a major battle and communication via the mind network, the Beast Realm has a clear understanding of the overall combat strength of the Hive Tyrant.

An ordinary insect hive tyrant is comparable in strength to a second-tier world beast.

A small number of them, equipped with supreme treasures, can reach the third or even fourth tier.

However, in terms of third and fourth tier strength, they are still inferior to the Realm Beasts!

As long as they all gather together, even if more than 300,000 World Beasts are lost, the World Beasts' powerful talents still give them a great chance of winning the battle.

But this is based on one premise: that the number of Hive Tyrants is in the tens of millions!

If the number were to double again, even the Beasts of the Realm would feel despair.

"No! These Hive Tyrants must be the ones who fought Odysseus and his group! If you sense them carefully, they've clearly just been through a major battle!"

Soon, the Beasts of the Realm discovered it.

Many of these insect hive tyrants had wounds on their bodies, their auras were clearly off, and some even had the divine power of the World Beasts wrapped around their divine bodies.

"Even using the fastest teleportation speed through the wormhole, it would take us more than ten days to get to the Xuanlong Holy Land.

They most likely possess some kind of ability to rapidly teleport!

We are outnumbered; only by gathering a large force can we contend with them!

"Retreat! Split up and escape!"

"Before they complete the encirclement!"

"Run! We'll fight them again after all the realm beasts have gathered!"

"..."

The roars of the Beasts echoed throughout the entire Beast Mind Network.

The million-strong army of Beasts attacking the Dragon's Holy Land was no match for the insect swarm; their numbers were only 70, so they were clearly no match for it.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Suddenly, the 70 Beasts exploded before the swarm of insects could completely close in, each one bursting into 99 streams of light that charged toward the weakest point in the encirclement.

"Hmm? So decisive?"

Even Qin Mu was somewhat surprised to see the world beast explode in an instant.

With their mental networks, the Beasts communicate extremely quickly, making decisions in the blink of an eye.

The Beasts reacted extremely quickly, and so did the insect swarm!

They made their move almost the instant they appeared.

Under the combined attack of various large-scale secret techniques, the streams of light formed by the clones of the Realm Beasts shattered, revealing the true forms of the Realm Beasts, who were then tightly entangled by the Insect Nest Tyrant.

The battle has turned from a direct confrontation into a chase!

The Beasts of the Realm are adept at escaping and are extremely fast, but the Insect Nest Tyrant also possesses the "Donghua" technique, which allows for extremely fast flight!

The same applies to Giant Axe, the Empress, Luo Feng, and others!

The vast ocean of space transformed into an extremely large battlefield, and its area was growing larger and larger.

Numerous insect hive tyrants and world beasts were entangled together, occasionally unleashing violent explosions.

"Hahaha, so these are the Beasts of the Realm? A bunch of stray dogs!"

The giant axe laughed wildly as it cleaved a second-tier world beast in two, even obliterating its core world.

"A mere realm beast dares to attempt to destroy the primordial universe?"

Luo Feng, who was piloting the Star Tower, also mocked from behind.

Not only them, but many of the insect hive tyrants also hurled insults and mockery, trying to get the fleeing world beasts to fight them.

Believe it or not, some hot-tempered individuals couldn't withstand this psychological attack and actually turned around to fight the Hive Tyrant.

The result is self-evident.

"Damn it! You're only relying on your numerical advantage. Once my army of Beastmen gathers, your deaths will be inevitable!"

"Let you be arrogant for a while! We've destroyed all the holy lands and universes within the entire cosmic sea; you'll all suffer the same fate sooner or later!"

"..."

The fleeing Beast was furious. Beasts considered themselves noble, and when had they ever suffered such an insult?

Unfortunately, circumstances are beyond one's control; once caught, it means death.

The Beast that fell into the swarm of insects disappeared from the Beast's mental network almost instantly.

The pursuit lasted for more than a day.

As the distance grew greater and greater, and the Beasts desperately activated their clone techniques, the vast majority of them still managed to escape.

Because no ambush was laid in advance, and the Beasts of the Realm were on guard, the results of this battle were not very good.

Less than one-tenth actually perished.

Although ordinary second-tier world beasts only have top-tier combat power at the ninth tier, their survival ability through the clone technique is still quite strong.

The two consecutive attacks also revealed the swarm's rapid relocation capabilities, making the Beasts of the Realm even more cautious.

Among them, the large armies of beasts actually broke up into smaller groups and flew towards the designated assembly point in small teams.

Anyway, with the mental network in place, they won't get lost in the cosmic ocean.

……

"These Beasts have become very clever. They either form groups of a dozen or more, or they simply act alone. It's no longer easy to hunt them on a large scale."

Looking at the map compiled by the swarm reconnaissance units, Qin Mu felt somewhat regretful, as the map was covered with dense red dots.

There isn't even a single squad of ten thousand men.

In this situation, it would be unwise to mobilize the power of the Gate of Origin for a rapid relocation and interception.

As the most unique and powerful secret treasure among the insect swarm, the divine power required to activate the Gate of Origin for a single teleportation is astonishing.

In order to maintain the operation of the Gate of Origin, Qin Mu specially cultivated the Void Tree, a super-large unit with a volume exceeding 1 light-year.

Even so, it only allowed the Gate of Origin to barely maintain its minimum level of operation.

Each time, the energy consumption of the Void Tree itself is astonishing.

"We launched four consecutive operations and hunted more than 500,000 Beasts in total. Among them, more than 20,000 were third-tier Beasts that were forced to use Beast Light Channels to escape, and nearly 100 were fourth-tier Beasts."

Overall, it's already a considerable achievement.

Giant Axe laughed heartily.

In several consecutive sorties, they specifically targeted fourth- and third-tier world beasts. Under the overwhelming pressure, even if they managed to escape, their strength was greatly reduced.

While the Boundary Light Channel is highly effective at preserving life, it consumes one's own source power.

Using it once will cause your strength to drop to a lower level.

"It doesn't matter, they've scattered, so we'll also split into small teams to hunt them down."

Dispersing the population can indeed prevent significant losses before the aggregation is completed.

But their power is also weakened as a result.

Relying on a network of reconnaissance units that span most of the entire universe, we can accurately determine their real-time location.

In this way, the swarm of insects can be dispersed and fought in small-scale battles to encircle and kill them.

Leave behind a portion of mobile forces; if they gather, we will advance with a large army.

The power to fight is entirely in our hands!

The empress, however, was cold and aloof.

She is not only skilled in soul attacks, but also a master of war!

He was most skilled at commanding large-scale wars.

Every queen is a born commander.

"That's right! That's what I think too."

Qin Mu praised him, then looked at the map.

"Look, all the Beasts are moving towards this area; this should be their gathering point."

"Then we can intercept the World Beasts before they finish gathering!"

On the entire map, the vast majority of the Beasts are clearly moving in one direction.

"This area is the battlefield! Unleash the swarms of insects and engage in a massive melee and slaughter against the World Beasts throughout this entire region!"

Don't give them the chance to complete their final convergence!

The number of Beasts in the Realm is limited; there are approximately 950 million left.

If one dies, there will be one less!

Different insect swarms!

Whether in their home universe or this universe, the Zerg swarm is engaged in large-scale resource development, cultivating even more Zerg swarms!

Once we enter a war of attrition, final victory will surely be ours!

Qin Mu said confidently.

This kind of war is exactly what he wants!

Similar to the battlefields outside the region in the past.

The Hive Tyrant and the Beast of the Realm are fighting each other on a small scale!

This allows the swarm to evolve in the fastest way possible!

If the Beasts of the Realm are allowed to gather, the final battlefield may evolve into a long-range confrontation between the insect swarm and the Beasts of the Realm, turning into a war of divine power consumption.

In such a massive war, even a top-tier tenth-tier expert would be as insignificant as dust.

Like a giant axe, it dared not join the first wave of battle, and could only enter the battlefield when the battle entered the chaotic stage.

The simultaneous unleashing of attacks by millions of powerful beings would even make an Eternal God change color.

Let alone tens of millions of world beasts, even a thousand world beasts attacking at the same time can unleash power that reaches the peak level of a Void True God.

The simultaneous attack of over nine million world beasts was absolutely comparable to the peak level of an Eternal True God.

Even the aftershocks could kill a Void God.

Although the swarm is not afraid of this kind of divine power consumption bombardment, it does not help with evolution at all; it is just a simple drain on resources.

Qin Mu was naturally unwilling.

"Small-scale skirmishes? That would be perfect!"

Giant Axe, Luo Feng, and the others nodded; this was their most proficient fighting style.

"I will keep a close eye on this area. Once more than 10,000 world beasts gather, I will immediately open the Gate of Origin and mobilize the insect swarm to encircle and annihilate them!"

Keep the war at a small-scale fighting level!

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. With the combined effect of the insect swarm reconnaissance units and the high-dimensional observation of the Gate of Origin, the movements of the Beasts were transparent to him in one direction.

That is, absolute intelligence superiority!

"This is the ideal situation; maintaining this kind of fighting requires some methods."

If the Beasts of the Universe realize they are no match for us, they will likely scatter and flee. The Cosmic Sea is too vast; if they truly wish to escape, we will be unable to catch them.

"Or perhaps the Beast will realize what's happening and try to escape back to the Dark Land, which would also be troublesome for us!"

"While such intense fighting will accelerate the growth of the Beast Realm, their growth rate is far slower than that of the insect swarm!"
