Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

wow——

The swarm of destructive insects, exuding a thick black mist, engulfed the roaring, charging savage elephants like a tidal wave.

It swallowed up a large number of strange beasts that were following behind the savage elephant.

The domain emanating from the giant elephant, which was hundreds of millions of kilometers tall, had no effect whatsoever and was easily breached.

Its skin, as thick as a city wall, and its body, as tall as a mountain, were completely corroded away when it encountered the black mist.

Black beetles attach themselves to its body, tearing and biting it indiscriminately, and burrowing into its skin.

The membrane, filled with the power of the earth and even the source of matter, is so fragile that even the attacks of the top eternal true gods can hardly damage it. Yet, it is as fragile as tofu in front of these black beetles.

Roar!

The enormous elephant's painful roars echoed, its sharp tusks and unstoppable charge having no effect whatsoever on the tidal wave of black beetles.

As it crashed into them, the black beetles scattered and then came back together, but a thick layer of black beetles appeared on its mountain-sized body.

The enormous elephant's body was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the black beetles that had devoured the flesh and blood of the giant elephant were rapidly multiplying and constantly burrowing deeper into its flesh.

Giant creatures like the Elephant could hold out for a while against the onslaught of the black insect swarm, but the beasts behind them fared much worse.

They were almost instantly devoured, and then more black beetles flew out from the beast's body.

The terrifying scene terrified countless strange beasts, who quickly began to scatter.

……

"What kind of strange beast is this? It's so terrifying. 362 Eternal True God-level savage elephants were no match for it. All those hundreds of millions of strange beasts turned into food for the black beetles."

Marquis Lin Yuan, who was observing from the shadows, felt a chill run down his spine.

So many strange beasts, whose strength was no less than that of his subordinates, were no match for him at all.

He was naturally keeping a close eye on the swarm's plans to cause trouble for the Calamity Elephant.

He tried to hunt it more than once, but all attempts ended in failure. Regardless of whether the swarm could succeed in hunting it, it would always reveal more methods to teach him how to deal with it.

"The Myriad Beasts Sect! What a Myriad Beasts Sect! They actually managed to cultivate such exotic beasts."

Each one possesses a faint source of destruction; though not particularly strong, they are connected in some peculiar way.

When they converge, the emanating source of destruction solidifies into a tangible black mist.

"Without sufficient strength, even a single black beetle cannot be killed."

As he stared intently at the black beetle devouring the creature, Marquis Lin Yuan's face was terribly grim.

This scene reminded him of a type of life form he encountered in the Chaos Layer, a life form formed from countless droplets of water, whose power increased with the number of droplets condensed.

When it reaches its limit, it can even pose a threat to the Chaos Ruler.

The black beetle in front of me has a similar effect.

However, unlike the others, life forms in the Chaos Layer must feed on the power of chaos; once they enter the normal space, they will die.

"As expected of the Myriad Beasts Sect! But if you want to deal with a Chaos Realm beast, these black beetles alone are probably not enough!"

Let me see just how strong your foundation really is!

Marquis Lin Yuan's eyes held bloodlust, tyranny, and a hint of greed.

The Spirit-Nourishing Potion has amassed a billion cosmic sands in Crimson Gold City in just a few dozen days. What if this were applied to the entire Cloud Kingdom?

What about the entire continent of origin?

Such a good product will sell itself.

……

"A strange life form, though not as good as the 'Soul-Eating Insects' mentioned in intelligence records, it is not inferior."

It was actually able to unleash a fraction of the power to destroy the very source of existence.

Even Emperor Yanrui, who was observing from afar using the treasure, was amazed.

As a member of the Yanfeng royal family and the owner of the Yanfeng Guild Hall in a major city, he possesses far more information than some Chaos Overlords.

The black beetles gathered together before us are similar to many others in the information about the Flamewind Guild.

For example, in one particularly auspicious place, there exists a terrifying insect-like beast called the Spirit-Eating Insect.

Unlike these black beetles that follow the path of destruction, that was a life form that devoured souls and followed the path of the soul's origin.

When they gather together, even the ruler of chaos must flee; once trapped, their souls will be completely devoured.

"These black beetles can even reproduce by devouring the flesh and blood of alien beasts, and their numbers have increased rather than decreased after a major battle."

……

"You all want to see the Beast Taming Sect's foundation and strength, so why not show it to you?"

Within the vast expanse of Jinluo, Qin Mu gazed at the boundless wilderness and murmured.

This expedition against the Calamity Elephant is a test and reconnaissance mission, but if the beasts in the Chaos Realm are not that terrifying, Qin Mu will do his best to take them down!

Therefore, the most unique super biological fortress in the swarm, the "Kunpeng," and the Queen of Blades have both been deployed.

The Kunpeng is a god-king level fortress that was forged by the insect swarm using the essence of three thousand cosmic seas and the power of the entire Jin world by the god-king weapon refiner, Zuoshanke.

If it weren't for that inexplicable golden light, it would be even stronger than the Star Tower.

Moreover, it is a super fortress that can grow.

Such a fortress possesses astonishing detection capabilities.

With the aid of the Gate of Origin, Qin Mu easily discovered the powerful figures hidden in the interlayers of the wilderness space.

Behind the herd of savage elephants, a colossal creature exuding an aura of calamity and immense weight was undoubtedly the target of this expedition: the Calamity Elephant.

In another location, a colossal creature exuding a dark aura was most likely Marquis Lin Yuan.

Another streak of blood-red light shot into the sky, accompanied by what sounded like the howl of wolves; it must have been Blood Wolf Marquis.

In addition, there were four other unfamiliar auras that were in no way weaker than the two Chaos Rulers.

There are hundreds of weaker eternal gods.

Some of these hidden presences followed the insect swarm from Crimson Gold City all the way here, while others simply hid around the Elephant Herd.

Many people were watching, and Qin Mu had noticed long ago, but he was too lazy to take action against them.

Suddenly, a swarm of insects emerged from the wilderness, breached Crimson Gold City, annihilated the city lord's mansion and the five major families, and occupied the vast mines outside the city.

It has attracted the covetous eyes of countless people.

However, Qin Mu's use of the Myriad Beasts Sect as a front made many people wary.

For example, Marquis Linyuan's territory only has four large cities, which also have a lot of mines. His most prosperous city was inexplicably occupied. How could he not be angry?

In the desolate mine, worker insects continuously enter and extract the minerals at an almost terrifying speed.

Mountains disappeared into the mouths of worker insects, turning into precious minerals.

If Qin Mu hadn't used the Flame Wind Guild to say he was going to hunt the Calamity Elephant and hadn't started making moves so quickly, he would have already made a move to test the waters.

That's his wealth!

Of course, if that were all, the only one who would make a move would be Marquis Linyuan.

However, Qin Mu sold Spirit-Nourishing Potions in Crimson Gold City and amassed over a billion Cosmic Sands in just over ten days.

Finance has always been a powerful force in people's hearts.

The only one sent by the Myriad Beasts Sect was an Eternal True God!

This was like a child carrying gold in the marketplace, swaggering through the streets and attracting the attention of countless people.

Qin Mu had anticipated this.

If the swarm wants to grow rapidly and enable more top-tier units to complete the three-stage body refinement, it must acquire more resources!

He has already used the billions of cosmic sands he obtained in Crimson Gold City to purchase a massive amount of materials through the Flame Wind Guild.

The second batch of 100 top-tier units in the swarm has begun body tempering.

But how can a mere 100 statues be enough?

Although the insect swarm also mines minerals in the wilderness, the swarm occupies too little territory, and the materials needed for body tempering are too many!

The "Mysterious Origin Body Refining Technique" is very powerful. After completing the first body refining, one's physical strength is comparable to that of a top-tier Eternal True God's treasure.

However, the amount of precious materials required is equally staggering.

The variety of materials alone amounts to millions.

The body of a Destruction Demon Ape is 360 billion kilometers tall. The minerals needed to refine such a massive body are equivalent to mountains.

How can so many materials be mined within the swarm's territory?

Purchasing became the only option.

They not only buy from the Flamewind Guild Hall, but also from the insect swarms hiding in various cities under different identities.

The swarm needs resources!

Endless resources!

This will inevitably cause conflict; the Spirit-Nourishing Potion is just a small catalyst.

A billion cosmic sands?

Is it tens of billions, or hundreds of billions?

In the future, Qin Mu will release more and better products to gain more resources.

In this process, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of stronger players.

This is an unsolvable situation.

Want to acquire resources without offending anyone, and then quietly go into seclusion to continuously break through?

How is that possible!

A spiritual practitioner is meant to strive!

Especially on the continent of origin, in this most primitive environment, the struggle is all the more naked.

This was unavoidable.

Hunting the Chaos Realm's monstrous beast, the Calamity Elephant, was a way to flex one's muscles.

If weakness is detected, the Chaos Overlords who are secretly observing will instantly reveal their terrifying fangs and devour the swarm completely.

"The Calamity Elephant, this is the first Chaos Realm beast the swarm has hunted. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Looking at the scattered horde of strange beasts, Qin Mu felt a surge of heroic spirit.

The dispersed swarm has located the lair of 27 Chaos Realm beasts and left reconnaissance units nearby.

If this hunt is successful, then a large-scale hunt targeting Chaos Realm beasts will begin.

"Your descendants will all die out, I don't believe you can sit still!"

As the wailing of the barbarian elephant gradually subsided, Qin Mu's gaze turned cold.

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble violently, and huge cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, from the deepest part of the earth came a muffled yet soul-shaking roar, as if an ancient demon god was about to awaken.

As the roar grew louder, the earth trembled more violently, the surrounding mountains began to collapse, and boulders tumbled down like raindrops.

As Qin Mu watched, a massive body slowly emerged from the depths of the earth.

Calamity and barbarity!

A calamity-ridden elephant stretching a full 90 billion kilometers!

When they actually faced it, both Qin Mu and those figures hidden in the shadows were shocked by the enormous creature.

Its four limbs are incredibly thick, like four pillars supporting its massive body.

It was surrounded by a dense aura of calamity, which was a strange purplish-black color, like churning demonic clouds, constantly rolling and surging.

The Eternal God, hidden in the spatial interlayer, could not even be seen in its entirety; its upper body had already disappeared into endless clouds and mist.

Rumbling--

The moment the calamity elephant that rose from the depths of the earth stepped onto the ground, the entire land seemed to become incredibly solid, emanating a rich aura of the earth's origin.

It actually withstood this incredibly massive body without sinking even an inch.

The Calamity Elephant's blood-red eyes, as bright as the sun, stared intently at the swarm of destructive insects that had transformed into a black tide.

Watching the elephant herd being gradually devoured, the largest one was its offspring, but its body had already been mostly lost as it was swallowed by the insect nest.

Roar--

A deafening roar erupted from its mouth, the materialized sound waves shaking the heavens and earth, sweeping outwards in all directions, continuously colliding with the black mist surrounding the swarm of destroyers.

The source of the earth, which manifests in a tangible form, and the source of destruction, formed by the condensed swarm of annihilating insects, collide.

It's sizzling!

Large swathes of black mist were annihilated, and even the black beetles within the mist were crushed to death one by one.

The moment the Calamity Elephant made its move, it caused casualties to the seemingly invincible swarm of Destruction insects.

This damage is negligible compared to the almost endless black insect hive.

Even under the gaze of the calamity elephant's blood-red eyes, the black beetle that was killed by its roar, which merged with the source of the earth, was devoured by other black beetles in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, the black beetles split apart again.

It appeared as if there was no damage whatsoever.

Then, they actually swarmed towards the calamity-stricken elephants.

"Interesting! The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, you think you can kill me with these black insects?"

What about the 300-unit super-large legion flow treasure?

Only one was dispatched?

That's really disrespectful of me.

The calamity elephant spoke in human language, gazing at the vast Jinluo world stretching for billions of kilometers, its eyes filled with fury and rage.

Its long nose, like a giant python, suddenly inhaled at the surging, destructive swarm of insectoids!

call!

The swarming insectoids felt an immense, sucking force descend upon the entire legion. A portion of the swarm was torn apart and uncontrollably swallowed by the elephant's trunk.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The swarm of black beetles began to disintegrate.

"Sure enough, the little thing that was just cultivated is fine for dealing with ordinary Eternal Gods, but it is somewhat powerless against the Chaos Ruler."

Seeing this, Qin Mu shook his head slightly, but he wasn't too surprised.

It was originally an experimental product; swarm warfare is one of the ways for Zerg units to compete with top-tier powerhouses.

However, it has only been a short time, and it has not yet formed a true combat force.

"The real combat power still depends on top-tier units like the Destruction Demon Ape and the Life Dragon!"

Let me see just how powerful a top-tier unit really is after completing body tempering!

Within the Jinluo Heaven and Earth, a Destruction Demon Ape, clad in heavy armor, with a life-giving celestial dragon coiled around its body and wielding a battle axe, charged forth with overwhelming battle intent. (End of Chapter)
