Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 736 Shocks All Sides: The First Chaos Realm Beast of the Insect Swarm

"Finally, we've broken through."

Amidst the endless swarm of insectoid networks, Qin Mu's hearty laughter echoed.

At this moment, his mind and will completely entered a new realm, reaching the first level of the God King realm!

The psychic will of a swarm is different from that of normal life; it is not a single individual, but a swarm network formed by the entire swarm!

This makes the swarm network extremely large.

For normal life forms, it is astonishing that a true god possesses a soul and will at the level of a chaotic ruler.

However, for a swarm network, such a massive size reaching the level of a Chaos Overlord is actually quite normal.

How terrifying it would be if the souls of trillions upon trillions of insect swarms were gathered together.

Why is the Divine Suppression Pearl so powerful against the insect swarm, capable of elevating the soul to an entire level?

This is largely due to the unique nature of swarm networks.

The Divine Suppression Pearl simply integrates the overall power of the swarm's will, making it more refined.

Not to mention that the swarm network absorbed the mind network of the world beasts and underwent a transformation.

He broke through to the True God realm and directly achieved a second leap to reach the Eternal True God realm.

All these underlying strengths have allowed the swarm's will to reach the limit of chaotic domination.

Although a breakthrough in one's realm does not lead to a breakthrough in one's will.

A strong body can also have a great influence on the soul and will.

After a period of nurturing and another all-out battle, the swarm's will was finally completely transformed.

"With this breakthrough, the last obstacle for the Zerg swarm on the Origin Continent has also disappeared."

Qin Mu's expression was somewhat strange, yet also showed an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Centered on the Cloud Kingdom, the insect swarm has spread to several surrounding kingdoms, covering the endless wilderness, and continues to expand.

In this situation, there is only one way to eradicate the insect swarm.

That is the soul of annihilating the insect swarm!

For example, it could be annihilated by the will of a god-king, or by a curse that destroys the origin of the Great Dao, or by a causal severance that directly kills the souls of the insect swarm at its origin.

This is also the only weakness of the swarm.

Of course, this is not easy.

With the blessing of the God-Suppressing Pearl, a soul at the level of a Chaos Overlord of the Insect Swarm can reach the first level of the God King realm.

Moreover, the most powerful aspect of the Divine Suppressing Pearl, a secret treasure that surpasses the God King realm, is its ability to guard the soul.

Even a will attack from a second-level God King could not kill it.

However, even a God-King level expert can make a move, such as an Emperor-level expert from one of the two ancient kingdoms.

Given what the swarm did in the Three Thousand Cosmic Seas, if exposed, the possibility of their demise is still very high.

But now?

The swarm's will has broken through in the battle, and it has developed an indestructible belief that can defeat any powerful enemy.

Given the inherent characteristics of the swarm, the swarm's will and power are so concentrated that they are unstoppable, capable of splitting into billions.

Even if attacked by a God-King at the Ultimate Realm, the God-Suppressing Pearl can be used to guard the insectoid network. As long as a trace of it remains, it can quickly recover to its peak condition.

Most remarkably, through information from the inheritance of the Beast King and the Wutong God King, Qin Mu learned that the strongest power that could be unleashed on the Origin Continent was the ultimate God King realm.

In other words, it is almost impossible to completely wipe out the insect swarm through means such as willpower eradication.

"With this transformation of will, the swarm's strength has greatly increased, making it easy for that Calamity Elephant to subdue it."

Even if I were to confront the God-King, I would have a way to deal with it.

Qin Mu felt much more relaxed.

With the combined power of the Chaos Peak Will and the Divine Suppression Pearl, defeating a Chaos Realm beast would not be difficult, but capturing one would be very challenging.

Especially the Chaos Ruler among cultivators.

Most of the Chaos Rulers possess multiple inheritances, all of which involve powerful secret techniques of will.

Even some highly talented individuals can comprehend the fundamental Dao and create their own secret techniques of will.

Even if their will doesn't reach the peak of chaos, it's generally not too far off.

Even with the blessing of the Divine Suppression Pearl, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent.

Even a wounded Chaos Overlord can launch a furious counterattack.

Things are different now.

Its soul attack, comparable to the second level of the God King realm, can instantly suppress most Chaos Realm beasts and Chaos Rulers.

This is an absolute crushing defeat in terms of power.

"In terms of attack, the swarm's mental will can reach the second level of the God King realm, and its defense is comparable to the ultimate level of the God King realm."

Qin Mu felt extremely happy.

Among the rulers of chaos, only a few can break through to the level of God-King.

This means that, with the power of their minds, the swarm can almost sweep through all the Chaos Realms!

"However, as the strength of the insect swarm increases, the blessing of the Divine Suppression Pearl will become less and less, and in the end, the insect swarm itself will have to break through."

While Qin Mu felt exhilarated, he was also very clear-headed.

The Origin Continent is vast, but it is by no means the final stage for the Zerg Swarm. Beyond the cage lies the endless Origin World.

Senior Jin may summon me for the next trial at any time.

In the boundless primordial space, an even wider world awaits.

"Thinking about these things is still too far away."

The most urgent task is to break through to the Chaos Dominator!

"We can find a way to further strengthen the swarm's willpower; perhaps there will be good news from the Flamewind Guild."

With a thought, Qin Mu slowly retracted the flesh and blood chains from the 300 Jinluo Heavens and Earths, and the suppression of the Heavenly Net disappeared.

With its will breaking through to the level of a god-king, its control over enslaving and transforming the insectoid calamity into a savage elephant has greatly increased, and the resources in its hands naturally belong to the insectoid swarm.

With this windfall, I can buy some nice things at the Yanfeng Guild Hall.

Besides practicing secret methods, one can also hone their mind and will by using some special treasures!

Examples include the "Three Thousand Void Beasts Diagram", "Reincarnation Mindset", and "Undying Nether Dragon Scales".

Qin Mu had seen these treasures at the Yanfeng Club, after all, he had spent hundreds of billions of cosmic sand there, making him a major customer.

However, in order to purchase these treasures, in addition to wealth, special privileges are often required.

For example, the Three Thousand Void Beast Diagram only requires 100 million cosmic sands.

Only members of the royal family can apply to purchase it!

Even if you're not royalty, you can't buy it no matter how much money you have!

The same applies to the Samsara Mindset and the Undying Nether Dragon Scales.

Having successfully hunted a Chaos Realm beast and demonstrated such strength, the Flamewind Guild should offer some benefits if they want to win him over, right?

……

"That miniature universe has dispersed! Is the Calamity Elephant about to burst forth?"

Marquis Lin Yuan stared intently at the miniature universe in the wilderness, his gloomy face relaxing considerably.

He was also unable to penetrate the inescapable net of control to see what was happening inside the miniature universe.

However, he had dealt with the Calamity Elephant many times and knew how strong it was.

In such a short time, killing it would be virtually impossible.

"Hmm? Where's the Calamity Elephant?"

The net was completely emptied that day, and Marquis Linyuan's face was filled with astonishment.

What about that huge, calamity-ridden elephant?

Swarms of insects, flying everywhere, entered the various realms of Jinluo like swallows returning to their nests, then disappeared into the void.

But what about the calamities and barbaric phenomena?

That was a Chaos Realm beast at the mid-level of the Chaos Realm, with a body height of 90 billion kilometers!

"That's impossible!"

A terrifying thought arose in my mind.

Although the Calamity Elephant's methods are relatively simple, it mainly relies on close combat and its massive divine body.

But that was a Chaos Realm beast!

How could they be so easily killed and suppressed?

What exactly happened inside the miniature universe?

Those black mist-like beetles could deal with an Eternal True God, but trying to kill someone in the Chaos Realm was simply a joke.

The Destruction Demon Ape possesses a powerful divine body, but its methods are crude. It might be able to deal with beasts like the Calamity Elephant, but defeating a cultivator would be virtually impossible.

For example, Lin Yuanhou himself can transform into an endless abyss world during battle.

No matter how strong one's brute force is, it cannot destroy its own endless abyss, nor can it truly harm itself.

Transforming into an endless abyss greatly enhances one's perception; as long as one is careful not to get trapped by those super-large legion-style treasures.

There shouldn't be any danger!

Why am I so panicked?

Could it be that a hidden expert from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has made a move?

"My strength is still not enough! I need to improve my strength as soon as possible, even if it means taking risks."

A fierce glint flashed in Marquis Linyuan's eyes, and the next moment, he retreated silently.

Now is not the time to engage in combat with them.

Whether the calamity and the barbaric elephant died or were suppressed, the matter was over.

He would never risk taking action if he had too little information.

The remaining powerful figures, who had been hiding in the shadows, observed and hesitated for a while before retreating as well.

If the Zerg swarm suffers heavy losses and the Cataclysmic Elephants are severely damaged in the battle, they might take advantage of the situation to make a profit.

However, the swarm's strength has hardly been damaged, and the Calamity Elephant has mysteriously disappeared.

Who dares to make a move?

The unknown is even more frightening!

Only on the other side, within the spatial interlayer, Di Yanrui's figure slowly coalesced.

"Hahaha, Brother Qin Feng, you actually suppressed that Chaos Realm Calamity Elephant! If you intend to make a move, you can hand it over to my Yanfeng Guild!"

I'll definitely give you a satisfactory price!

Emperor Yanrui laughed loudly and flew towards the Destruction Demon Ape, which had regained its original size.

Mythical beasts are important cultivation materials for cultivators of all races.

For powerful individuals who follow the bloodline path, Chaos Realm beasts are among the most precious.

Even the Eternal True God of the Yanfeng Royal Family would find it difficult to obtain.

"I only managed to suppress it by using some methods. I plan to study it first. If I need to take action, I will contact the Yanfeng Guild immediately."

Qin Mu smiled and looked at Di Yanrui.

"Brother Qin Feng, you are too modest. I witnessed this battle firsthand. There are very few Chaos Rulers who can physically withstand the Calamity Elephant head-on."

Not to mention the eternal God!

Di Yanrui's eyes held a mixture of envy and awe.

In the Origin Continent, strength reigns supreme. Although he is a member of the Yanfeng Royal Family, his strength is far inferior to that of Qin Feng.

"I'm only strong physically; I'm far inferior in other aspects. The success in suppressing it was mainly due to these super-large mechanical treasures."

Qin Mu shook his head.

"To be honest, I really need to buy some more treasures this time, and I might need Brother Di Yanrui's help."

Chatting and laughing with Di Yanrui, the two flew towards Crimson Gold City.

As for the other powerful individuals?

Qin Mu didn't even bother to look at it!

They are only good for hiding in the shadows and spying; they are not qualified to be the enemy of the swarm.

This battle continued to spread outwards.

The reputation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has spread to several surrounding countries.

……

He didn't directly tell Di Yanrui that he wanted to buy treasures like the "Three Thousand Void Calamity Beast Diagram," but he vaguely mentioned that he wanted to buy treasures to temper his mind and will.

Qin Mu then changed the subject and began his seclusion.

If the other party intends to win them over, they will likely take the initiative to do so.

Wow!

Qin Mu's body appeared in the Boundary Origin Space, standing in front of the Calamity Barbarian Elephant.

"Let's try to subdue it without relying on the power of the Divine Suppression Pearl."

Looking at the endless, enormous, and immobile Calamity Elephant trapped within it, Qin Mu closed his eyes.

The swarm's immense, almost terrifying, psychological power, transmitted through the swarm network, crashed down on the monstrous elephant like a sledgehammer.

"roar--"

The sudden erosion within its will caused the Calamity Elephant to howl in agony, its blood-red eyes filled with savagery.

"Your will is so strong! But there's no way you'll make me submit!"

Suppressing his headache, the monstrous elephant let out a deafening roar.

It was suppressed by a palace fortress of god-king level, and the terrifyingly powerful spatial force rendered it unable to move.

But he continued to resist desperately, his will seemingly boiling.

"As expected, it's too difficult for a first-level God King to make a Chaos Realm beast willingly submit."

Qin Mu maintained his willpower and bombarded the Calamity Elephant like a tidal wave.

It's just too difficult to forcibly enslave people.

"My mental attacks are too simplistic; I'm still not proficient enough with 'The Annihilation of the Heart'."

While familiarizing himself with the Divine Suppression Pearl, Qin Mu also selected a secret technique of willpower, "Extinction of the Heart Tribulation," from the inheritance of the Wutong Divine King to complement his willpower attacks.

"The Annihilation of the Heart" is definitely not comparable to "The Art of the Ranks," but it is still a secret technique of will at the level of a god-king.

"Perfect, I'll use you to practice!"

An invisible force of will surged forth like a tidal wave, enveloping the Calamity Elephant, and the secret patterns on the Divine Suppression Pearl lit up.

The Calamity Elephant felt its mind and will being dragged into an endless abyss of darkness, surrounded by a suffocating sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, countless invisible "fires of inner tribulation" ignited deep within the soul.

This flame was not real, yet it was more terrifying than any physical flame.

It doesn't burn the body, but the will and memories.

"How did the power of this flame suddenly become so strong?"

The calamity-ridden elephant felt its mind being torn apart bit by bit, its past memories turning to ashes, its emotions being completely erased, and even its sense of self-existence beginning to collapse.

"No!"

Within the mind and will, the monstrous elephant of calamity roared wildly.

Its will transformed into a savage elephant, its four hooves galloping wildly, trying to break through the dark abyss, but it seemed to have crashed into an impenetrable wall.

"As expected, the willpower attacks of the second level of the God King realm are completely different. If unleashed at full power, it can be easily annihilated."

Sensing the agonizing cries of the calamity elephant in his mind's world, Qin Mu nodded slightly.

The Heart-Burning Flame is a relatively mild attack method in "Heart-Burning Calamity," which is not enough to instantly obliterate its will.

It would be perfect for enslavement.

The fire of inner tribulation burns ever brighter, and the more the calamity and savagery afflict the soul, the more painful it becomes, yet it cannot escape.

Until its will is completely broken, its mind turns to nothingness, and finally only an empty shell remains.

At this point, the chances of successfully transforming into Zerg would naturally increase a thousandfold.

"The first Chaos Realm expert in the swarm isn't a Beast King, but this Calamity Elephant!"
