Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

"Who should we kill? The Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts? We don't know his strength either. Our initial estimate is that he is at the first level of the God King realm, or possibly the second level of the God King realm."

"We only have a 50% chance of killing him," Shadow Heaven Realm said.

The King of Yun asked, "What's the price?"

He wasn't surprised by the speculation about the Shadow Realm.

As the number one assassination force on the Origin Continent, its intelligence capabilities are extremely strong. Otherwise, how could it assassinate someone if it didn't even know the strength of its target?

After the appearance of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, he only revealed the will of the second level of the God King realm.

He guessed that it might be a transcendence of the Chaos Realm, most likely the first level of the God King Realm, and there was also a very small chance that it was the second level of the God King Realm.

This is why he didn't want to take action himself.

He acted directly, leaving no room for maneuver.

Why would he be willing to take such a risk if he could grow to the level of a God-King?

"His strength is uncertain; killing him would require at least a second-level God King."

"It requires 10 Chaos Origin Crystals or something of equivalent value," Shadow Heaven Realm said. "Let me make it clear beforehand, there's only a 50% chance of success, and the treasure won't be returned if we fail."

"10 Hunyuan Crystals." The King of Yun Kingdom felt a tremor in his heart.

Hunyuan Crystal?

What kind of heaven-defying treasure is that!

This is the highest-grade material after the 'Primordial Power' has been refined.

As a guest minister of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, he had only seen it in the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's treasure trove.

One Hunyuan Crystal requires a full million merits to exchange!

A million merits are enough to exchange for a top-tier inheritance in the treasure vault.

An ordinary first-level God King would only receive 1 merits from inheritance, while the top-level ones would only receive a maximum of 10 merits.

With so much wealth, he would have already broken through to the second level of the God King realm. Why would he need to ask the Shadow Heaven Realm for help?

"No, all I need to do is assassinate the Crimson Flame Overlord (a pseudonym of the Mountain-Sitting Guest) of the Myriad Beasts Sect in the Shadow Heaven Realm," said the King of Yun Kingdom.

He didn't really want Shadow Heaven Realm to kill him; he just wanted to test the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Master.

The Crimson Flame Overlord is the only Chaos Realm expert openly known in the Myriad Beasts Sect, and he spends most of his time refining treasures in Crimson Gold City, never leaving the city.

If you want to kill him, you have to do it in Crimson Gold City.

He didn't believe that the Beast Master wouldn't make a move after killing the Crimson Flame Overlord!

"The Crimson Flame Overlord? He is in the Chaos Realm, and it would take 1000 billion cosmic sands to kill him. During the killing process, he might reincarnate," said Shadow Heaven Realm.

"If you are willing to pay 500 billion cosmic sands, we can ask a high-level member to take action and kill all of the Crimson Flame Overlord's clones with a single thought."

"Of course, it's the rule of my Shadow Realm that all assassinations may fail, and fees will not be refunded," Shadow Realm said.

The King of Yun Kingdom was not surprised. Although the Shadow Heaven Realm spoke harshly, they always kept their word.

If enough benefits are offered, the Shadow Realm will definitely send enough forces to assassinate them.

"No, let's make it 1000 billion cosmic sands," said the King of Yun Kingdom.

He didn't care about the cost at all.

He earned much more than this by selling spirit-nourishing potions together with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Five hundred billion cosmic sands?

Even the ruler of Yun Kingdom has to think this through.

"Please pay 1000 billion cosmic sands as soon as possible. Once we receive it, we will take immediate action," Shadow Celestial Realm said.

"No problem! I've already forwarded it to you!"

The King of Yun spoke in a low voice.

He infiltrated Crimson Gold City three times, intending to make a move in secret. But each time, he felt a strange sense of unease.

This sense of danger has saved his life many times.

Otherwise, he would have taken matters into his own hands long ago.

……

Crimson Gold City, the insectoid fortress 'within the Kunpeng's body'.

Qin Mu's will descended upon the body of the Destruction Demon Ape, the only one in the swarm to have reached the limit of divine body and had begun cultivating the "Mysterious Origin Body Refining" technique.

Upon reaching the Chaos Realm, the Destruction Demon Ape's body expanded once more.

From the original 360 billion kilometers in altitude, it has increased a hundredfold!

And this is just the change in the divine body after the breakthrough.

As Qin Mu cultivated the "Mysterious Origin Body Refining Technique," his body continued to expand.

Such a colossal divine body could destroy the entire city of Crimson Gold City with a mere stomp of its foot.

Around the body of the Destroyer Ape, there was an endless swarm of black insects.

A devastating swarm of insects consisting of billions of insects!

Countless threads of law connect the billions of swarms of destructive insects, forming a massive black mist covering trillions of kilometers around the Destructive Demon Ape as its core and tens of thousands of secondary nodes as its center.

If it were to appear in the outside world, it could completely obscure the entire world.

The sky above the originating continent is not very high, generally only a few trillion kilometers.

In other words, the internal space of the special god-king level palace treasure, the "Kunpeng," allows the Destruction Demon Ape to unleash its power at will.

"The life forms in the Chaos Layer are truly peculiar. By utilizing this new architecture and combining it with the power of the 'World' within the World Beast King, the power of the insect swarm formed by the destruction of the insect swarm has been increased more than tenfold."

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

While hunting various strange beasts in the wilderness, the swarm of insects has never given up on the life in the chaotic layer of endless space.

In fact, about one-tenth of the millions of Zerg swarms roam the Chaos Layer.

While absorbing the chaotic power within the chaotic layer, it also hunts for life within the chaotic layer.

They even encountered a chaotic being at the level of a chaotic overlord during a sweep.

After capturing and studying it, they used it to destroy the Zerg swarm.

The physical structure of life forms in the Chaos Layer is extremely unique.

The structure of the Destroyer Swarm originated from a special type of beetle; by merging with each other, their strength continuously increases.

After in-depth research, Qin Mu discovered a trace of the source of destruction within the body of this special beetle.

It is precisely this trace of destructive origin that allows them to merge with each other.

Through continuous optimization and the integration of more excellent architectures, including the Beast architecture, the Destroyer Swarm Legion was finally born.

And similar creatures are countless in the Chaos Layer.

The swarm, in turn, creates swarm legions with different characteristics.

The Destroyer Swarm is simply the most powerful and corrosive among them.

For example, by studying a life form that resembles a silver droplet, incorporating its spiritual essence, and observing the origin of life in the primordial universe, one can discover the life swarm army centered around the Life Dragon, whose greatest characteristic is its boundless vitality.

The Zerg's ten main forces each have their own unique characteristics.

"Besides breaking through the life level by 100,000 times, the 'Mysterious Origin Technique' is also an extremely powerful body-refining secret technique. It wasn't very obvious when he was an Eternal True God."

Only after reaching the Chaos Realm can its extraordinary nature be truly revealed!

Feeling the immense destructive power within his body, Qin Mu couldn't help but be captivated.

The most unique aspect of "Mysterious Origin Body Refining" is that the bodies cultivated by practitioners can each have their own characteristics, depending on the different fundamental Daos they have mastered.

This means that the Zerg swarm only needs the "Mysterious Origin Technique" as a body-refining secret method to be applicable to all Zerg swarm units.

This Destruction Demon Ape, for example, is a 'Body of Destruction' with the Destruction Origin Dao as its core.

The Body of Destruction has nine layers.

To enter the first level, one must first cultivate the six meridians, namely the Heaven-Splitting Meridian, the Black Heaven Meridian, the Chaotic Heaven Meridian, etc. Only after all six meridians are perfected can the first level be considered complete.

The cultivation is extremely difficult, but once the first level of the 'Body of Destruction' is mastered, its power is astonishing. One becomes like a vast world, with immense and unshakeable strength.

Every gesture he made seemed to signal the end of the world.

This is only the first level; if one could cultivate to the second level, it would be even more terrifying.

It can actually be integrated into other fundamental Daos.

A "Destruction Body" that integrates with the fundamental principles of matter or the fundamental principles of the world can truly give birth to a vast world of destruction within its body.

In the blink of an eye, one can destroy heaven and earth.

His inner world can reflect several chaotic states, making him virtually invincible among his peers. Killing a first-level God King is as easy as turning his hand.

Immediately, Qin Mu turned his gaze to the body of a top-tier unit, the Giant Void Elephant, beside the Destruction Demon Ape within the Kunpeng's internal space.

This colossal Ruins Divine Elephant Body is nearing the completion of its transformation amidst the frantic influx of divine bodies from 10081 smaller universes in the primordial universe.

During its transformation, its enormous trunk swept across the area.

It continuously devours precious minerals falling from the sky. These minerals are extremely valuable, such as Hellfire Iron and Eternal Gold, which can be used to forge weapons for the God-King.

As its divine body grew ever larger, it was covered with a thick layer of crystalline armor.

The four tusks, like giant blades that could split the heavens, became even stronger and heavier, capable of tearing through space and shattering all matter with a gentle swing.

Further away, other divine bodies such as the Heavenly Dragon of Life, the Mirage of a Thousand Calamities, the Void Weaving Shadow, and the Dragon of Time and Ethics are also rapidly expanding.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips.

"Tsk, so they've finally arrived? Assassins from the Shadow Realm!"

On the edge of the Chaos Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts, Qin Mu sensed a shadow hidden inside the spatial layer rapidly approaching. The methods of this shadow were far beyond those of an ordinary Chaos Realm cultivator.

If the insect domain hadn't covered most of the Chaos Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts, Qin Mu wouldn't have been able to discover it so quickly.

Such advanced concealment techniques could not possibly be possessed by an ordinary Chaos Realm cultivator; they must be either a God-King or a Chaos Realm Transcendence cultivator.

Based on the information gathered by the insect swarm, it's not hard to guess the origin of the shadow.

"The Empress, the Giant Axe, Luo Feng... An enemy is attacking, most likely a God-King level expert."

You should first enter the body of the 'Kunpeng' and hide there temporarily.

In order to prevent you from being caught in the crossfire of the later battle!

Qin Mu instantly connected with everyone through his mind and will, mobilizing the power of the Gate of Origin to form a spatial portal in front of them.

"The God King?"

"Understood!"

"understood."

The group of hunters in the wilderness did not hesitate and immediately stepped into the spatial portal.

Even the Chaos City Lord and others who were cultivating in seclusion in the city were no exception.

A war between gods and kings is too terrifying; even across an endless distance, they can be killed by the shockwaves.

Only the mountain dweller remained motionless.

Although he has not yet broken through to the God-King level, he is only lacking in the accumulation of divine power, and his strength has already reached the transcendence of the Chaos Realm.

Moreover, as the God King of Weapon Forging, his Jinwang Palace was not lost.

Naturally, he was not afraid of ordinary god-king level experts.

……

In just a short while, the figure arrived near Crimson Gold City.

As he drew closer, Qin Mu could clearly sense the terrifying power that was descending, which seemed to have the ability to erode everything in its path, its power terrifying.

The shadow hidden deep within the spatial interlayer did not make a move immediately. Subtle probing fluctuations emanated from its body, probing the city in an extremely mysterious way.

Then, they quickly ran towards the direction of the mountain dweller!

"Hmm? The target is actually the Mountain Hermit?"

Qin Mu, who was observing from the shadows, was surprised. The body of the Destruction Demon Ape instantly appeared in the path of the shadow's advance, and boundless black waves spread out from the body.

Qin Mu had no intention of letting the Mountain Guest make a move against the assassins who had finally arrived.

"How did you find me? A mere Chaos Realm cultivator dares to block my way?"

Space tore open, and that shadow transformed into a massive cloud of gray mist!

This enormous cloud exuded an evil aura, as if it wanted to erode and pollute everything in the world.

"It seems I wasn't wrong. You're a member of the Shadow Realm, right? I know a lot about the ancient beings on the Origin Continent, but I don't know you."

Qin Mu's voice emanated from within the body of the Destruction Demon Ape.

He knew nothing about this god-king who had turned into clouds and mist; there was no information about him in either the lineage of the several god-kings or in the intelligence network of the insect swarm.

Although Qin Mu appeared indifferent, he actually valued it very much.

Qin Mu dared not be careless towards a force capable of sending out Emperor-level combatants.

With his insect domain that had eroded the Chaos State, Qin Mu was not afraid of even a second-level God King, but a powerhouse at the Emperor level was still too much of a challenge.

At most, they can only rely on the characteristics of the insect swarm and the Divine Suppression Pearl to ensure their survival.

"There's a lot you don't know!" A face emerged from the gray mist, staring at the Destruction Demon Ape. "Originally, I only wanted to kill the Crimson Flame Overlord of your Myriad Beasts Sect, but you dared to jump out."

"It doesn't matter, a mere Chaos Ruler, we'll just kill them all!"

A roar resounded, and the rules of heaven and earth began to change, rapidly affecting the nearby Crimson Gold City.

"Good timing!"

Qin Mu let out a low roar, and the Destruction Demon Ape suddenly swelled to an unbelievable size.

The enormous body pierced through countless clouds, its head already touching the edge of the starry sky. With just a glance upwards, one could see countless miniature universes within the starry sky.

At this moment, even a single hair on his body seemed like a towering pillar supporting the sky.

Even a single finger is much bigger than Crimson Gold City!

The battle axe in his hand was even larger, enough to send shivers down one's spine.

What horrified the gray fog cloud even more was that as the Destruction Demon Ape's body swelled, the swarm of Destruction Insects surrounding it also surged out wildly, obscuring the entire world.

An endless black tide surged directly towards the gray mist cloud.

The black tide and the gray fog clouds collided instantly, annihilating each other in a frenzy.

"What? You're a Chaos Realm Transcender? A Chaos Realm Transcender who specializes in cultivating the divine body? This black tide is so terrifying that it even annihilated my divine body."

The gray fog cloud was startled.

Although the Infinite Divine Body can be large or small, the larger it is, the stronger it is suppressed by the world!

With feet firmly planted on the earth, our heads have already touched the edge of the starry sky!

The higher reaches of the starry sky, under the supreme rules, are forbidden to be touched, and those smaller universes cannot be damaged.

This height is already the maximum that a cultivator can reach!

Generally, only ancient god-kings with infinite divine bodies, or a very small number of Chaos Realm transcendents who specialize in physical cultivation, can achieve this!

"Hmph, you must be the Sect Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect, right? I didn't expect you to be just a Chaos Realm Transcendent!"

The gray fog cloud suddenly erupted.

It charged forward with overwhelming force, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, annihilating all layers of space in its path. (End of Chapter)
