Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Intelligence? Hahaha, Brother Qin, you've come to the right person. My Yanfeng Guild's Dark Hall is all about intelligence."

Emperor Yanrui laughed heartily.

He believed Qin Mu's words about 50%.

300 super-large legion treasures, tens of thousands of large machines (Leviathans), and billions of void true gods and beasts.

Such strength is enough to fight against the Chaos Ruler; using it only to seize Crimson Gold City would be a waste of its potential.

"The Calamity Elephant is an ancient Chaos Realm beast that dwells in the wilderness. It belongs to the middle level of the Chaos Realm and has a herd of elephants under its command, with thousands of them being Eternal True God level beasts."

In addition, it also gathers a large number of exotic beasts, making it the absolute overlord of the wilderness.

Even Marquis Linyuan wouldn't dare provoke them; dealing with them won't be easy.

As he laughed, a piece of jade flew out from a bronze pillar in the main hall and landed in Di Yanrui's hand, which he then handed to Qin Mu.

"This contains information about the Calamity Elephant. Its bloodline is a branch of the Great Dao of the Origin of Matter, and its physical body is extremely terrifying and unshakeable."

Thanks to his bloodline talent, he is almost invincible in close combat within the same realm.

Moreover, this calamity-ridden elephant also possesses a portion of the earth's bloodline, and has boundless power when it treads on the ground.

If things go wrong, it can even escape underground, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Brother Qin and I hit it off immediately, so I'm giving this intelligence to you."

Qin Mu didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it.

The intelligence he purchased in Ningyuan City also contained information about this calamity elephant, but it was described in a vague manner.

Intelligence at the level of Chaos Overlord is very expensive.

Even the Chaos Realm beasts.

Things are different now.

Having just conquered a large city, the resources they harvested are worth billions of cosmic sands; they could easily buy them.

He planned to sell some of the insect swarms that they didn't need, and Di Yanrui in front of him was a good trading partner.

Divine power invaded the jade, and a large amount of information, images, and even battle scenes about the Calamity Elephant appeared in the Zerg network.

In the endless wilderness, a terrifying figure slowly emerged.

It was a monstrous elephant that defied the heavens, reaching a height of 90 billion kilometers, resembling a towering peak that could pierce through the universe.

Its body is as large as a mountain, and its skin is rough and full of grooves.

It was surrounded by an aura of calamity so dense it was almost tangible, an aura that was eerie and purplish-black, like churning demonic clouds, constantly rolling and surging.

Anything that comes near it, whether solid rock or dense forest, will instantly vanish upon contact with this aura of calamity, as if it had never existed in the world.

Its four limbs are incredibly thick, like four pillars supporting the heavens and the earth. Every time it steps down, the earth trembles.

"The Calamity Elephant, what a Calamity Elephant!"

Looking at the image of the calamity elephant, Qin Mu felt no fear, but rather joy.

If such a powerful beast could be hunted down, the Beast King might be able to break through immediately.

In one image, a monstrous elephant stands on the ground, and visible ripples of power emanate from its feet, causing surrounding mountains to collapse and rivers to dry up and change course.

Let Qin Mu know why its name contains the word "calamity".

Qin Mu even witnessed the Calamity Elephant battling a powerful being emanating an aura of endless darkness.

The calamity elephant's trunk, like a giant whip of destruction, lashed wildly through the air, shattering the space wherever it went.

Its four enormous tusks, like the sharpest of hairs, made it virtually invincible when it charged. It could easily tear apart anything that stood in its way.

Even the powerful being exuding a dark aura dared not confront it head-on.

"Who is this powerful figure exuding a dark aura? Marquis Lin Yuan?"

Qin Mu was lost in thought, but unfortunately, the dark aura made it impossible to see his face.

This image has been edited.

Emperor Yanrui only said he was to give Qin Mu information about the calamity of the barbarian elephants, but he didn't say he was to give Lin Yuanhou information.

"What a calamity elephant! Many thanks to Brother Di Yanrui for the gift; otherwise, acting rashly might have resulted in a great loss."

Qin Mu cupped his hands and smiled at Di Yanrui.

"Are you still planning to hunt the Calamity Elephant?"

Di Yanrui looked at Qin Mu with some surprise. He knew the strength of the Calamity Elephant, yet he still wanted to make a move.

Either Qin Mu is an idiot.

Either you are truly confident of victory.

"Haha, of course! I'm not afraid that Brother Di Yanrui will find out that this is an assessment task given to me by the sect."

Within ten eras, we must hunt down a Chaos Realm beast and return to report.

This calamity is the target I've chosen!

Qin Mu laughed, completely unconcerned.

"Assessment tasks? Ten eras?"

Di Yanrui's pupils suddenly contracted. He actually ordered his disciples to hunt Chaos Realm beasts!

According to intelligence reports, the Myriad Beasts Sect was just an ordinary sect. Although the three Chaos Realm experts who disappeared in the treasure land possessed the ability to control beasts, they were not considered particularly strong within the Chaos Realm.

Beast taming has never been a mainstream method on the Origin Continent.

Could it be that they really obtained some powerful inheritance or treasure in this treasure land, and one of them broke through to the God King realm?

"Brother Qin, are you confident?"

Di Yanrui couldn't help but ask.

"Before this intelligence, I was only 30% sure, but now I'm 50%! However, I still need some time to investigate further."

The Calamity Elephant is very powerful, possessing the bloodlines of both the Great Dao of Material Origin and the Great Dao of Earth Origin, making its physical body extremely terrifying.

The most troublesome thing is its ability to burrow underground; if it tries to escape, it will be very difficult. I need to make some preparations.

Qin Mu's face was full of confidence.

Ten eras?

In that time, the insect swarm would have already broken through to the Chaos Realm. Hunting a Chaos Realm beast wouldn't require so much trouble.

Qin Mu needs time.

Consuming the resources of Crimson Gold City, and the time the swarm spends hunting in the Chaos Layer.

Even the Beast King needs time to devour the Eternal True God Beast.

Let alone the Zerg swarm breaking through to the Chaos Realm, as long as they digest the spoils of Crimson Gold City and allow the Zerg swarm's top units to complete three body refinements.

The swarm of insects can kick that calamity elephant around like a ball!

Is 90 billion kilometers a huge amount?

The maximum range of a normal Chaos Realm divine body is only a few billion kilometers. As a strange beast, it is already extremely powerful to possess such a divine body.

However, they are no match for the insect swarm with their Xuan Yuan bodies. Even a single Destruction Demon Ape, Life Heavenly Dragon, or the complete form of the Insect Nest Tyrant can reach 360 billion kilometers!

Complete three body refinements.

It is still the "Mysterious Origin Technique," a super secret method passed down from the "Origin" and used for body refinement.

Even if there are differences in understanding of laws and divine power.

However, defeating a Chaos Realm beast that is of a higher level is still possible.

The real reason Qin Mu coveted this Calamity Elephant was its bloodline talent!

The fundamental principle of matter!

This is absolutely the key to elevating the overall combat power of the Zerg swarm to a new level.

The "Mysterious Origin Technique" requires mastering a trace of the Great Dao of Life's Origin and a trace of the Great Dao of Matter's Origin to refine the body at the Chaos Realm level.

The swarm possesses the Queen of Blades, representing the complete origin of life in the primordial universe; comprehending it is only a matter of time.

However, their understanding of the fundamental principles of matter is quite lacking.

"Mysterious Origin Body Refinement" is a technique that can enhance the overall strength of the entire insect swarm.

Taking it down and creating a material legion that rivals top-tier units like the Life Dragon is not impossible.

That material army was truly born.

"That calamity elephant is indeed good at escaping, and its lair is located on the border of Yun and Yu. Marquis Linyuan once invited several friends to deal with it, but it escaped into the territory of Yu."

Marquis Linyuan did not want to go too far, so he gave up.

The same was true of the Blood Wolf Marquis of Yu.

Di Yanrui shook his head. Defeating and killing are two completely different things.

Especially for powerful beings and strange beasts in the Chaos Realm, which one doesn't have extremely strong means of survival?

Venturing into other countries to fight is also quite risky for the Chaos Overlord.

This gave the calamity and barbarity an opportunity.

"Brother Di Yanrui, I have taken over Crimson Gold City. If Marquis Linyuan has any objections, let him come if he wants!"

Hmph, I wouldn't mind fighting him before hunting the Calamity Elephant.

I thought he would appear after we breached the city lord's mansion, so I waited for him for a while.

Qin Mu's tone seemed somewhat disdainful as he spoke.

"Haha, I will pass on your message."

I think Marquis Linyuan shouldn't have any objections. He's long wanted to get rid of that calamity elephant, but he's simply powerless to do so.

Emperor Yanrui laughed heartily.

"By the way, Brother Di Yanrui, I have breached the City Lord's Mansion and seized the wealth of the five major families, obtaining a considerable amount of resources. Some of these are not useful to me, and I plan to trade them through the Yanfeng Guild Hall."

In addition, I need to purchase some materials.

Qin Mu changed the subject.

"That's no problem at all. Just leave it to Yanfeng Guild. We can handle not only the wealth of Crimson Gold City, but the wealth of the entire Chaos State."

"Whatever materials you need, my Flamewind Guild can purchase them."

Emperor Yanrui was quite proud.

How much wealth can a mere Crimson Gold City amass?

100 billion cosmic sands? 200 billion cosmic sands? To the Yanfeng Guild, that's just a drop in the ocean.

……

"Your Highness, why didn't you take this opportunity to win over Qin Feng?"

After watching Qin Mu leave and returning to the Yanfeng Hall, the white-robed elder asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, didn't I give him some information about the Calamity Elephant? If he were to buy this information himself, it would cost at least ten million cosmic sands!"

Qin Feng dared to hunt Chaos Realm beasts, so his strength must be extremely high, but the possibility of him dying is also very high.

How easy is it to hunt beasts in the Chaos Realm?

Let's take a look first!

He'll stay in Crimson Gold City for ten epochs to hunt. I want to see if he's really strong or just bragging!

Di Yanrui smiled.

We should try to win them over, but it's our first meeting after all.

Why spend so much effort trying to win someone over when you know absolutely nothing about them?

He needs to be observed!

With a smile, he produced a jade stone in his hand, a jade stone that recorded part of his conversation with Qin Mu.

"We should reply to Marquis Linyuan; he must be getting impatient."

……

"Hunting Chaos Realm beasts? Calamity Elephants aren't that easy to kill! Ten epochs? I'll give you ten epochs!"

If you can do that, I will come to your home to express my gratitude.

If you're not strong enough, hmph...

Inside Lin Yuan City, Marquis Lin Yuan looked at the intelligence report from Yan Feng Guild Hall, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

I originally thought that the so-called Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was after the Crimson Gold City mine, or even me, but I never expected that it was for the Chaos Realm beasts!

Was he really the victim of an undeserved calamity?

Ten epochs is but the time it takes to take a nap; a single period of seclusion for cultivation would take him far longer.

Let's see how strong the Myriad Beasts Sect really is.

The true value of Crimson Gold City lies in its underground mineral veins. Even if he had ten epochs, how much could he possibly mine?

When the time comes, Crimson Gold City will still be mine!

Of course, if Qin Feng really has the strength to kill the Calamity Elephant, then why not give him Crimson Gold City?

Unbeknownst to Marquis Lin Yuan, while he was feeling agitated, a massive swarm of insects had already swept out of the city, heading towards the city lord's mansion and the mines controlled by the five major families.

After driving away all the true gods who were mining, mother nests appeared on the mineral veins.

In just a short while, countless worker insects skilled in mining had hatched.

When it comes to mining, the swarm of insects are absolute experts.

Have you not seen how countless precious mineral veins within the Peak Realm, one of the three forbidden zones of the primordial universe, have been hollowed out by the insect swarm?

……

"Next, I will spend some time in quiet meditation."

Back inside the Kunpeng, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

By fabricating a sect of ten thousand beasts as a cover, they can buy enough time for the insect swarm to grow.

Once the insect swarm breaks through to the Chaos Overlord realm, there will be almost no force on the entire Origin Continent that he can fear.

These are the two ancient kingdoms!

What does it matter if he is a Chaos Ruler among billions, or even a Chaos Ruler who has completed the strongest body refinement, or a God-King level expert?

He saw Di Yanrui trying to win him over.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be overjoyed and want to join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to obtain its precious heritage.

But to be honest, Qin Mu wasn't interested in that.

Through the inheritance of the Wutong God King, Qin Mu gained a very profound understanding of the two ancient kingdoms.

The resources of the two ancient kingdoms were mainly reserved for the royal family.

For those who are not royalty, they need to exchange merits or pay a certain price for their services.

Both the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom treated non-royal members almost entirely as slaves.

They enjoy the benefits.

The hard and tiring work was assigned to the guest ministers who joined the two ancient kingdoms.

Such as the true core resources of the two ancient kingdoms—treasure lands.

It is almost impossible for it to be bestowed upon non-royal members, and even if it were, the price to pay would be extremely high.

If you're really lucky and manage to acquire a precious treasure, it might even be snatched away by the royal family!

It wasn't just the Wutong God King who was being hunted down by the royal family!

For example, Lihe God King, a guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, is also at the second level of the God King realm and has completely joined the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

He did not want to get involved in disputes; he only wanted to raise his children and devote himself to spiritual practice.

However, by chance, he refined a powerful secret treasure, a weapon treasure far surpassing the level of a God King, and with the help of this secret treasure, he could contend with the Emperor.

As a result, after his attack was exposed, he was forced to hand over the treasure by the three emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, who threatened the lives of his wife and children!

Finally, he handed over the treasure.

But the three emperors still made their move.

His wife, children, and even his entire clan were wiped out!

There are many similar examples.

The origin story is about Fanfan, a powerful god-king who was persecuted by two ancient kingdoms on the continent of Origin.

If that's the case, why did Qin Mu join?

He has no shortage of inheritance.

Even the inheritance of the God King realm is not lacking. As a God King of the second level, the inheritance left by the Wutong God King is enough for Qin Mu to reach the God King realm.

and so.

Qin Mu plans to break through to the Chaos Realm, spread the insect swarm across the Origin Continent, and then go and seize it!

Bestow?

When did the swarm need to be given something by someone else?

With the Beast King in power, it's only a matter of time before the insect swarm breaks through to the ultimate God King realm.

Do not!

You don't need to reach the ultimate God-King realm. As long as you break through to the God-King realm, when billions of God-King level insect swarms appear on the Origin Continent...

The dominant force on the Origin Continent should be the Zerg Swarm!

How many God-Kings are there on the Origin Continent? (End of Chapter)
