Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 726 The Mysteries of the Chaos Layer, Hunting the Chaos Overlord Beast

"Hahaha, the Crimson Gold City Lord and his five great families are indeed wealthy! Their cosmic sand alone exceeds one billion."

There are also various precious treasures, ores, and so on.

All of their wealth combined is worth at least tens of billions of cosmic sands!

This is enough for one hundred top-tier Zerg units to complete three body refinements.

After easily defeating the resistance of the city lord's mansion, killing the Crimson Gold City Lord and the leaders and core members of the five major families, and obtaining a large amount of spoils, Qin Mu laughed heartily.

There were no difficult battles; the entire battlefield was a smooth, uninterrupted advance.

With 300 Jinluo Heaven and Earth, tens of thousands of Leviathans, and billions of Void God Insect swarms, this force was a hundred times greater than the Crimson Gold City garrison.

With just a slight display of its power, the Crimson Gold City Lord's Mansion collapsed.

The Crimson Gold City Lord and his group were actually quite strong, ranking among the top in strength among the Eternal True Gods, but they were annihilated before they even had a chance to reveal their abilities.

Of course, this is also related to Qin Mu's good preparations in the early stages. Many units in the swarm had already infiltrated Crimson Gold City.

In addition, there was the intelligence information purchased at a high price from the Yanfeng Guild Hall.

The entire Crimson Gold City was utterly defenseless against the insect swarm. Even the city's protective formations and the city lord's mansion's grand formation were thoroughly deciphered by the insect swarm.

In this respect, the swarm is an expert!

The city lord's mansion appeared to have been cleaved in two by the Destruction Demon Ape's axe, but in reality, it was because the insect swarm had already broken through the formation within.

Without the energy support of the three forbidden formations within the city, the power of the city lord's mansion formation was reduced to a mere fraction.

The battlefield became a personal showcase for the Destruction Demon Ape.

Even the three hundred Jinluo Terrace became mere background figures.

There's no other way; the Zerg Swarm doesn't have a Chaos Overlord to oversee things right now. If they're going to deal with Lin Yuanhou and the like in the future, they'll need a respectable figurehead.

The Destruction Demon Ape, that's the name.

Otherwise, relying solely on quantity or super-large mechanical treasures would hardly earn the respect of powerful forces like the Chaos Overlords or the Flame Wind Guild.

"The most valuable thing in the City Lord's Mansion is not these resources, but the Chaos Ruins! This is the core of a large city."

With this chaotic ruin, the Zerg swarm can then access the chaotic layer.

Qin Mu looked at the dilapidated city lord's mansion, and under the protection of those broken formations, a distorted spatial hole appeared in his field of vision.

It was as if water was pouring down, with endless chaotic power flowing out.

When they emerge, they naturally begin to condense into chaotic crystals, and some even seep into the surrounding soil and rocks, forming chaotic stones.

Around the Ruins of Chaos, there are piles of cut-up Chaos Crystals, which were obviously collected and cut up beforehand.

"This is the Ruins of Chaos? It's truly extraordinary; it's practically an inexhaustible gold mine."

The swarm reconnaissance team will advance and explore first!

Qin Mu sighed in admiration. With a thought, a large swarm of insects, which had been prepared, flew out from the Jinluo Heaven and Earth, braving the flowing chaotic power, and flew into the spatial rift.

"Rumble~~~"

Passing through the Chaos Ruins, the vanguard of the Zerg swarm instantly traversed hundreds of layers of space, only to be met with endless spatial rifts stretching as far as the eye could see.

When the Destruction Demon Ape wields the Chaos Annihilation Axe, it can cleave through space, but only the shallowest layer of space.

The Chaos Layer is located in the deepest part of space.

Most Chaos Overlords cannot escape into the Chaos Layer solely through their own power.

"Rumble~~~"

In the infinite space, when a large swarm of insects flies against the current, the surroundings are initially very narrow, but the more they fly against the current, the more spacious they become.

As the swarm grew until it became completely boundless, it dispersed and began to explore the surroundings.

"This is the Chaos Layer? If it weren't for the guidance of this Chaos Ruins, even with a spatial treasure like the Gate of Origin, it would have taken a lot of time to find it."

Having landed inside the body of a Zergling Tyrant, Qin Mu looked around.

A dense, chaotic power spread, like a boundless ocean, and the entire ocean was stirred up by the spatial fluctuations.

"Such a strong corrosive force. Even with the body of the Hive Tyrant, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand this environment for long."

Despite feeling the erosion of the chaotic power and even the instinctive rejection of the chaotic layer space, Qin Mu remained completely calm.

"Gate of Origin, bless me!"

The Void Tree within Kunpeng's body trembled slightly, and boundless divine power surged into the Gate of Origin, causing the secret patterns on the surface of the Gate of Origin to light up faintly.

Located by the Soul Network, the large swarm of insects located in the Chaos Layer emitted a faint silvery-white light.

Under this force, all erosion and even repulsion vanished instantly.

"The research on the Gate of Origin these past few days has had some effect. Not only has the defensive capability increased a hundredfold, but the spatial perception has also been greatly improved."

Qin Mu smiled slightly, not surprised by this situation.

The Gate of Origin, a treasure bestowed upon him by "Gold," is primarily used for searching, locating, and traversing different source worlds.

But it also possesses astonishing defensive capabilities.

Last time, under the control of 'Gold', a silvery-white light transformed into an insect egg that enveloped me, safely protecting me as I traversed endless distances within the infinite primordial space.

He even carried the aftershocks of the battle between the thousand-eyed giant serpent Hunyuan life form and the Origin World, sending himself into the Ten Thousand Demons Universe.

Although only a very small portion of the secret runes have been activated at this moment, I am not entering the Chaos Space, but only the Chaos Layer.

Protecting the insect swarm is naturally not a problem.

"With this location, the swarm will no longer need the Chaos Ruins. With the help of the Gate of Origin, the swarm can enter the Chaos Layer at any time."

With curiosity, Qin Mu scanned the entire Chaos Layer.

An endless stream of chaotic power rippled outwards, and the tangible manifestation of chaotic laws appeared in various parts of the chaotic layer.

This makes the chaotic layer even more dazzling.

"The Chaos Layer is indeed extraordinary! Chaotic laws are manifested everywhere."

Qin Mu looked with delight at the dazzling, golden chaotic laws, then looked at the icy white chaotic laws on the other side.

Chaos contains infinite possibilities!

With slight transformation, it may manifest various forms such as chaotic metal, chaotic fire, and chaotic thunder.

Once you grasp the laws of chaos, you can advance towards any fundamental path.

"Cultivating and comprehending the laws of chaos here is thousands of times more effective than doing so outside."

Compared to the primal power manifested within the Beast King and the Queen of Blades, the Zerg swarm could break through to the Chaos Overlord realm even faster!

Qin Mu was overjoyed. The scattered swarm of insects had already flown into the patches of chaotic gold and chaotic fire according to their different attributes, and began to cultivate by taking advantage of the special environment within the chaotic layer.

Even more remarkably, Leviathans transformed into massive entities spanning billions of kilometers, their honeycomb-like structures opening up in their abdomens.

A dense swarm of insects flew out from it.

Without the protection of the Source Gate, some of the weaker swarm units were instantly annihilated by the power of chaos.

Even some of the stronger ones shattered under the erosion.

But the dense swarm of insects did not retreat at all, and continued to rush into the materialized chaotic laws that evolved within the chaotic layer.

In just a short time, the extremely unstable genes of the swarm began to evolve and mutate under this erosion, and began to adapt to the environment of the Chaos Layer.

"Is this life form from the Chaos Layer?"

Suddenly, Qin Mu saw a stream of light burst forth from a patch of golden chaotic gold, rushing towards a unicorn-like insectoid creature.

Roar--

The unicorn lizard raised its sharp claws, intending to grab it.

bump!

Having completed a partial transformation of its divine body, the unicorn lizard, whose strength was considered quite good among the Eternal True Gods, was actually knocked away by a beam of light that was hundreds or thousands of times smaller than itself!

In an instant, hundreds of insectoid creatures surrounded them.

Chains of void flew out from their bodies, forming a large net that completely sealed off the golden light.

Knowing that chaotic life exists in the chaotic layer, how could Qin Mu not be prepared?

The golden light darted left and right within the network, but could not escape.

As the chain network continued to shrink, the true form of the golden light was revealed to Qin Mu.

It was a golden beetle!

"This tiny beetle is actually stronger than a top-tier eternal true god beast like the Stone Dragon."

If I hadn't been prepared, you might have actually gotten away.

Qin Mu descended upon the insect hive tyrant's body, flew nearby, and carefully examined the golden beetle trapped within the void chain network in his palm.

The Chaos Layer contains endless chaotic power, which naturally gives rise to some special creatures.

These creatures have extremely low intelligence, act purely on instinct, and are unable to communicate.

The golden beetle in front of you is such a life form.

Among the many inheritances obtained, many contain records of life in the Chaos Layer.

The creatures of the Chaos Layer feed on the power of chaos and act purely on instinct! Their bodies contain varying degrees of the laws of chaos.

Because their intelligence is too low, their strength is generally at the Eternal Realm level, and those that can reach the Chaos Realm are extremely rare.

Moreover, their body structure is very special, which is of great benefit to body refinement and cultivation.

This is also recorded in "Xuan Yuan Body Refining".

An invisible corrosive force invaded the golden beetle's body from his palm. There was not much resistance; with just a little force, Qin Mu felt an additional point of light appear within the swarm's soul network.

"Chaotic life is indeed special, as it actually contains traces of the laws of chaos."

No, it should be said that this golden beetle is a manifestation of the solidified chaotic laws.

With this little guy, the swarm's understanding of Chaos Gold can be greatly enhanced.

The analytical power of the swarm permeated the golden beetle god's body, obtaining its life structure diagram.

However, the life form of this golden beetle is completely different from that of ordinary life forms; it is actually composed of the laws of chaos!

This discovery delighted Qin Mu.

"Go! Find more Chaos life! The Swarm needs them!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly.

The Origin Continent is indeed a blessed land for the Zerg swarm!

Whether it's the strange beasts that roam the wilderness or the chaotic life forms in the Chaos Layer, their appearance has caused the swarm's strength to skyrocket.

……

Inside the Red Gold City.

"At the Flamewind Guild Hall, Emperor Yanrui greets all the members of the Myriad Beasts Sect. May I ask how you are addressed, my friend?"

Dressed in magnificent robes and exuding elegance, Emperor Yanrui flew into the sky with a smile and bowed to the Destruction Demon Ape, whose body had been reduced to the size of an ordinary person.

"Qin Feng of the Myriad Beasts Sect greets Your Highness."

Qin Mu casually made up a name and smiled at Di Yanrui. Then he looked at the white-haired old man behind Di Yanrui.

Qin Mu sensed a slight threat from the white-haired old man.

This should be Di Yanrui's guard, or rather, his protector.

But Qin Mu was certain that this white-haired old man was an eternal true god and could not possibly be the ruler of chaos.

He doesn't want to offend the Flamewind Guild right now, at least not before the swarm has grown strong.

Behind the Yanfeng Guild Hall are actually the many emperors of the Yanfeng Empire.

The owners of Yanfeng Clubs in many cities are members of the Yanfeng Royal Family, descendants of the thirteen emperors.

For example, the person in front of us is from the Di Yan lineage.

"No need to address me as Your Highness, I am still just the Eternal True God. I wonder if I could have a long chat with Brother Qin and become friends, perhaps by visiting my Yanfeng Guild Hall for a while?"

This is not the place to talk.

Di Yanrui looked at the vast expanse of Jinluo, and at this moment, all eyes in the city were focused on him.

"good!"

Qin Mu nodded as well.

Immediately, the two transformed into streaks of light and landed at the Flamewind Club, where they sat facing each other in a luxurious hall.

Fine wine and delicacies have already been prepared here.

After a few drinks, the two became much more familiar with each other.

"I see that Brother Qin, your divine body has reached 50 billion kilometers. You must have broken through to the Infinite Divine Body and are following the path of body refinement, right?"

With a single axe strike, even the Crimson Gold City Lord's Mansion couldn't withstand it.

Clearly, your divine body and realm have reached their peak. There is probably no one in the entire Yun Kingdom who can compare to you.

That is, they would be among the most renowned throughout the entire Origin Continent.

Di Yanrui put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

"With your talent, there is a high possibility that you will comprehend the laws of chaos and become the ruler of chaos in the future."

Given the presence of the Myriad Beasts Sect behind you, Marquis Lin Yuan does not wish to be your enemy, so he asked me to discuss this with you.

Is there any room for reconciliation between you two?

Qin Mu smiled slightly, without giving a direct answer.

"We came to Linyuan Chaos Continent not to make enemies, but only to hunt Chaos Realm beasts."

However, Marquis Linyuan ordered his men to massacre the entire clan of my sect's disciples. Faced with such a situation, it's only natural that we must intervene!

Hunting Chaos Realm Beasts?

Di Yanrui's pupils contracted slightly. Qin Mu actually had such strength?

It should be noted that there is only one Chaos Realm beast in the entire Lin Yuan Chaos Continent!

In fact, his strength is no weaker than that of Marquis Linyuan!

"Brother Qin, you actually have such strength? Chaos Realm beasts are not easy to deal with. Although they don't understand cultivation, their bloodline talents are extremely strong!"

The Chaos Realm beast in Lin Yuan Chaos Prefecture is called the Calamity Elephant, and its strength is extremely terrifying.

If you offend them and cannot kill them, it could bring great disaster upon you!

Di Yanrui asked curiously.

If one can kill a Chaos Realm beast, one can naturally kill Lin Yuanhou, so it's normal not to take him seriously.

"Hahaha, my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect deals with exotic beasts. I am well aware of the strength of Chaos Realm exotic beasts."

"I might not be strong enough on my own, so I brought 300 super-large legion treasures specifically to deal with it."

Qin Mu smiled.

Hunting Chaos Realm beasts is indeed his next step, unlike what cultivators want to do.

The strange beasts are all solitary creatures, so killing them won't cause any trouble.

Hunting them down, whether by turning them into Zerglings or by devouring their flesh and blood, will allow the Zerg swarm to take its strength to the next level.

Most importantly, the swarm is expanding in the wilderness; how could it possibly tolerate such an existence in the wilderness?

"I'd also like to purchase detailed information about the Calamity Elephant from the Flamewind Guild. Would you be so kind as to do so?"
